Mother Charged After Letting 3-Year-Old Son Pump Gas

via Fox News

Police say a Pennsylvania woman has been charged because she allowed her 3-year-old son to handle a gasoline pump, and the child sprayed fuel onto himself.

Manheim Township Police said Tuesday they filed a charge of endangering the welfare of a child against 46-year-old Theresa Moran Camera, of Lancaster.

Police say they were called to a supermarket on Jan. 19 and determined the boy removed the nozzle from the vehicle without releasing the handle.

The vehicle had left by the time police arrived, but witnesses gave investigators a license number.

Last week it was 4 and 5-year-olds having sex with each other and this week it’s 3-year-olds pumping gas….we’d hate to imagine what’s next…SMH.

Stevie Wonder Thinks Lil Wayne’s Camp Should’ve Stopped Him From Recording Emmett Till Lyric

Like many, Stevie Wonder is not happy with Lil Wayne’s distasteful use of Emmitt Till’s name, but he can’t seem to understand why no one warned the rapper beforehand. Wonder believes that rather than recording the lyrics, found on the remix to Future’s “Karate Chop” record, Weezy’s reference to the slain teen, should’ve never made it to the track…. Continue

Hi Hater: Michael Jordan Says Lebron James Could Not Have Been As Successful Playing In The 80′s And 90

The GOAT has spoken

Michael Jordans Says Lebron James Wouldn’t Have Been As Succsessful In His Era

Via CBSSports

With LeBron James putting up historic numbers and passing the eye test along with it, with Kobe Bryant entering the twilight of his career as arguably the second-greatest shooting guard of all time, and with Kevin Durant emerging as a force in his own right, all-time comparisons are even more common than normal.

And with Michael Jordan turning 50, there’s a surge of media around him. After saying in an interview that he’d take Kobe over LeBron (Note: the excerpt excluded the fact that Jordan said “in terms of championships” but whatever), Jordan said in an interview with ESPN the Magazine that he takes umbrage with the idea that modern players could play in the ’90s.

Citing tougher competition and different rules, Jordan lists four players who could play in his era and questions even the mighty LeBron.

JORDAN PLAYS his new favorite trivia game, asking which current players could be nearly as successful in his era. “Our era,” he says over and over again, calling modern players soft, coddled and ill-prepared for the highest level of the game. This is personal to him, since he’ll be compared to this generation, and since he has to build a franchise with this generation’s players.

“I’ll give you a hint,” he says. “I can only come up with four.”

He lists them: LeBron, Kobe, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki.

When someone on TV compares LeBron to Oscar Robertson, Jordan fumes. He rolls his eyes, stretches his neck, frustrated. “It’s absolutely … ” he says, catching himself. “The point is, no one is critiquing the personnel that he’s playing against. Their knowledge of how to play the game … that’s not a fair comparison. That’s not right … Could LeBron be successful in our era? Yes. Would he be as successful? No.”

We’re no basketball professionals, but LeBron James is 6’8 260 lbs. He’s huge for any era. Find it hard to believe that he wouldn’t be able to hoop it up with the old heads, but can you really agrue with Michael Jordan?

Spitting Image: Mommy BeyBey Finally Reveals New Photo Of Blue Ivy, Does She Look Like Hubby Hov Or Beyonce??

Bey finally reveals a pic of Blue Ivy‘s face!!!

New Photo Of Blue Ivy Revealed

Looks like a still from Bey’s new “Life Is But A Dream” documentary has leaked and the face of Bey and Hov’s daughter Blue Ivy can be finally seen…

Via Reuters reports:

The film, which Beyonce co-directed, is part of a return to performing after a year off since her first child was born.

Beyonce began her comeback with a controversial lip-synched performance of the national anthem at President Barack Obama’s inauguration in January, followed by a live performance at the Super Bowl halftime show that wowed critics.

At the New York premiere of the documentary on Tuesday, the new mother said she wanted to share her altered perspective on life.

“Knowing that at this point in my life, this age is so wonderful because I see everything differently and I hope that I can share that with other people,” she said.

The HBO film shows footage of a sonogram, Beyonce’s growing bump and grainy video of herself posing nude as she neared her due date.

The arrival last year of Blue Ivy Carter gained worldwide media attention and prompted Beyonce to share more with her fans, launching a Tumblr page with snapshots of her family life.

Her miscarriage had been kept secret from the public until Jay-Z referred to it in his song “Glory,” that he released following the birth of Blue Ivy.

In the documentary, Beyonce touched on the topic briefly, saying, “It was the saddest thing I’ve ever been through.”

“My life is a journey. … I had to go through my miscarriage, I believe I had to go through owning my company and managing myself … ultimately your independence comes from knowing who you are and you being happy with yourself,” she said.

“Life is But a Dream” also gives a peek into the Grammy-winner’s four-year marriage to Jay-Z, showing the couple singing Coldplay’s “Yellow” to each other.

“This baby has made me love him more than I ever thought I could love another human being,” she says.

Who do you think Blue looks like? Hit the jump to peep more photos of Mommy Bey and her bangin’ post preggo body…

1-Year-Old Child Swallows 42 Refrigerator Magnets

A 1-Year-Old boy is reportedly in recovery after being rushed to the hospital for swallowing 42 magnets taken off of the refrigerator when his mother “briefly” turned her back. The x-ray above was taken once the toddler and his mother arrived at the hospital.

via Huffington Post

When a Russian mother noticed a “large shortage” of magnets from her refrigerator, she pinned her 16-month-old son as the culprit. Except the boy hadn’t just taken the magnets off the kitchen fridge– he’d swallowed them, according to the Austrian Times

Doctors had to surgically remove an alarming 42 toy magnets from the baby’s stomach on Tuesday, said spokesman Olga Terekhina in a Chelyabinsk Oblast Children’s Hospital announcement.

The mother rushed her son to a local clinic, where an ultrasound revealed dozens of marble-sized magnets filling up his abdomen, according to the Daily Mail. He went straight to the operating room, and was reportedly in recovery on Tuesday.

Pediatric surgeon Nikolai Mikhailovich said he’s extracted as many as two dozen magnets or foreign objects at one time, but 42 pieces was a “record” for him, according to the release.

Toddlers are very busy and get into things all the time, but 42 magnets? This lil crumb snatcher was going for a world record. Thank goodness he’s ok!

Anti-Gay: Students Petition To Have Teacher Fired After She Publicly Speaks Out Against Gay Student Couples Attending Prom – “They Have No Purpose In Life”

Students Protest To Have Teacher Fired For Banning Gay Couples From Prom

A teacher at an Indiana high school has caused an uproar in her small community. Prom season is approaching and although this particular high school has never before discouraged same-sex couples from attending the prom, the teacher says this year should be different.

via Fox News

A small Indiana community best known for its parks and corn festival has become the center of a national discussion about intolerance over a group’s plans to host a “traditional” prom that bans gay students.

Residents and officials in Sullivan, a city of about 4,200 near the Illinois border, are scrambling to escape the uncomfortable spotlight cast when a teacher supporting the “traditional” prom for Sullivan High School said she believes people choose to be gay and that gays have no purpose in life.

“I just … I don’t understand it,” Diana Medley, referring to gays, told Terre Haute television station WTWO.

The comments by Medley, a special education teacher in a neighboring school district, have gone viral and sparked online campaigns to have her fired. A petition on Change.org calling for her dismissal had generated more than 17,500 signatures from as far away as the United Kingdom as of Thursday, and a Facebook page supporting a prom that includes all students had more than 27,000 likes.

Do you think this teacher should be fired for her comments?

Rihanna Spotted Wearing Chris Brown’s Jacket After Valentine’s Day

Rihanna wants to send the message to Karrueche loud and clear that she’s still got her Breezy boo on lock despite reports that she avoided him earlier this week  and spent Valentine’s Day alone.

The Roc Nation roster chick landed in London yesterday for their annual Spring fashion week and was all smiles while sporting the jacket that Breezy wore to party at Playhouse night club in Hollyweird just days ago on Valentine’s Day.

Guess that whole Chris-taking-Karrueche-as-his-date-to-an-event-the-day-before-Valentine’s-Day thing didn’t phase her one bit.

Oh.

Call us crazy, but business partner or not, it sounds like Chris is still bustin’ down these “two bad breezies at the same damn time.” What do you think Bossip fam?

Out Of Pocket: Jesse Jackson Jr. Spent $43,000 On Rolex And $4,600 On Michael Jackson Fedora With Fraud Campaign Money

Wait, what?!?!?

Jesse Jackson Jr Bought Rolex And Michael Jackson Fedora With Campaign Money

Via NYDailyNews

Former Congressman Jessie Jackson Jr. used $750,000 in campaign funds to buy personal items ranging from a $43,000 gold Rolex watch to a $4,600 fedora worn by Michael Jackson, the Justice Department charged Friday.

Federal prosecutors slapped the one-time rising political star with fraud and conspiracy charges as they revealed the stunning allegations of misspending.

In an affidavit, prosecutors said Jackson used his campaign kitty to buy everything from a $5,000 football signed by U.S. presidents, furs and a cashmere cape to memorabilia related to Bruce Lee and Jimi Hendrix.

Jackson, the son of the famous civil rights leader, is expected to plead guilty, one of his lawyers said.

“Over the course of my life I have come to realize that none of us are immune from our share of
shortcomings and human frailties,” Jackson said in a statement. “Still I offer no excuses for my conduct and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made.”

The ex-Congressman isn’t the only one gettin’ thrown under the bus, his wife has some ‘splainin’ to do to!

Jackson’s wife, campaign aide and former Chicago Alderwoman Sandra Stevens Jackson, was also charged Friday — with low-balling her income on federal tax returns for five years. She also will plead guilty, lawyers said.

We just can’t understand how the hell Jesse thought he was going to get away with this. We haven’t heard anything about a cover-up, or plans to disguise these outrageous purchases, it’s almost as if he said:

“Fawk it, I’m fixin’ to ball out!”

Young Money Mini: Reginae Carter Signs To Lil Wayne’s Record Label

Young Carter joins the family business….

Lil Wayne’s Daughter Regina Sings To His Record Label

YMCMB bossman Lil Wayne is keeping his eldest child and only daughter where he can see her as she ventures into teen territory. Weezy recently revealed that his 14-year-old first born Reginae will officially be joining the Young Money family.

via MTV News

Young Money is keeping it all in the family, quite literally. The label’s newest signee is none other than Lil Wayne’s daughter Reginae Carter.

In an interview with Rap-Up TV, YMCMB honcho Mack Maine explained, “Wayne’s daughter, Reginae, is actually signed to Young Money now.”

He further added about the new generation of Young Money “youngins”, “You can expect big things from Young Money’s youngest signee. “Just expect greatness. She’s Toya [Wright's] daughter and Wayne’s daughter, so that’s a great combination. She’s a megastar.”

It was heavily speculated that Weezy was the one who pulled the plug on Reginae’s short stint with the OMG Girlz back when Tiny & Toya had their own reality show, but we never quite got to see what it was that she actually did in the group.

Will Reginae be a pint-sized protegee of her father’s, or a budding songstress? Hmmm….

Believe It Or Not? Chris Dorner Autopsy Report Complete And Actual Cause Of Death Confirmed

Is this really how Chris Dorner died?

Chris Dorner Autopsy Report Confirms Cause Of Death

The San Bernardino Police Department has announced the results of deceased ex-LAPD officer-turned-fugitive Chris Dorner’s autopsy report.  Dorner died during a police stand off earlier this week and it is being reporting that the cause of death was suicide.

via ABC News

Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer who went on killing rampage appeared to have killed himself, authorities said.

The autopsy showed that Dorner’s cause of death was a single gunshot to the head.

“The information that we have right now seems to indicate that the wound that took Dorner’s life was self inflicted,” said Capt. Kevin Lacy of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department in a press conference Friday.

Dorner, 33, was found dead after a standoff with police. The cabin where Dorner barricaded himself in went up in flames on Feb. 12.

Authorities said police made “numerous PA announcements identifying [Dorner] by name, asking him to surrender,” before firing pyrotechnic tear gas inside the cabin Dorner had holed up in, causing the building to go up in flames.

“We did not intentionally burn down that cabin to get Mr. Dorner out,” San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon told reporters on Feb. 13.

Not too many can argue with autopsy reports….that is, if you believe that the police department is giving us the full run down.

However, the fact still remains that there are more than a few unanswered questions surrounding this shoot out and eventual death of Chris Dorner that the officers involved have yet to address, like these.

Makes you wonder what there is to hide, riiiiiight?


Race Matters: Is Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue Guilty Of Using People Of Color As Props???

Do we need to be more up in arms over Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue?

Via Salon.com:

Sports Illustrated’s latest swimsuit issue used their ”seven continents” theme as an occasion to run photos of (mostly) white models posing with people of color as a background that signifies the “exotic” nature of the shoot locations.

In one shot from Guilin, Guangxi (an autonomous region of China), a white model reclines on a raft while a local man uses a pole to mimic chauffeuring her around.

In another, this time in the southern African Republic of Namibia, a white model poses with a black man holding a spear, wearing indigenous clothing that reveals as much of his body as hers.

Sports Illustrated is hardly the first magazine or catalog to use people of color as set design, only the most recent. Other examples include famed mammy doll candlestick-makers Anthropologie, along with J.Crew, Free People, Vogue and Nylon, to name just a few.

Now, the problem isn’t with featuring different cultures in commercial or editorial contexts; it’s much more about editorial intent. When a photo makes clear that the story it is telling is not about the person being shot with the model, that instead they are being used purely as cultural context or “exotic” buzz — that’s the problem.

The man in Namibia, whether or not he authentically dresses like that or if he was hired to do so, is not the story in that photo. He is there for a boring, hackneyed attempt at visual juxtaposition. His brownness is contrast for her whiteness. His spear, his desert, his all-encompassing “African-ness” is the point. He’s furniture. He’s the Taj Mahal. The Eiffel Tower. He’s there to locate the viewer in the world, not tell them anything.

And none of this is to mention that the picture offers a purely one-dimensional representation of an entire country. Did you know that Namibia is not just one big desert? Did you know this completely generic shopping complex is not actually in Fairfield, Connecticut, but Windhoek?

Now look, I am not here to regurgitate a critical race studies paper from my college years, but it’s important to talk about completely bogus representations of race and culture when they come up.

But the response to the issue has largely ignored these bizarre and racially clueless images, instead focusing on Kate Upton and her nearly nekkid Arctic adventure. A spread which, by the way, used penguins the same way the Namibia and Guangxi shoots used people.

Are we sensing what’s wrong here yet?

That is pretty effed up, but we’re probably more upset that they only have two brown models in the whole magazine!
