Kim Kardashian-West’ Donation Pledge Tweets make Local Girl Famous

kim-k-shoes

I love how local media picked up by national media can really do a lot for charity cases. Here is an example: This week, the popular FOX gossip radio round up show Dish Nation did one of its regular local station feature where it picks a local story to spotlight.

This time, it picked Witchita, Kansas. One of the hosts spotlighted the work of 17-year old Amelia Flores who started a shoe drive to donate to Soles for Souls charity that gifts gently used shoes to people in need. Flores said the charity helped her family during Hurricane Katrina and wanted to give  back.

“I felt like this was a way to give back to them and say thank you,” Amelia told her local paper, The Wichita Eagle. “People were super willing to give their shoes,” she said about expanding her initiative from 200 pairs to 2,000. “So I figured why not.”

Flores, who had collected 1,000 shoes but was hoping to get 1,000 more by December 18. “By calculation, she needs 112 each day,” host J-Si Chavez said “We need to start donating, Witchita.”

Fortunately for Flores and the charity, Kim Kardashian-West saw the Dish Nation segment and tweeted her support. And the rest is Viral history….


 



 


The teen got the message and got some great local news coverage and eventually made a video response:




 

Flores says her new goal is 25,000 shoes and with all the publicity, she’s likely to reach it!

Ivanka Trump is Not here for the Anti-Donald Trump Trolls on Her Social Media

Ivanka trump

While businesswoman Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner await the birth of their third child, the very busy blonde has also had to deal with plenty of hate comments left on her social media posts.

Each entry she uploads on Instagram or Twitter has a comment section littered with remarks from detractors of her father, Donald Trump, who is running for president and doing so in a very bombastic style that includes making some pretty unconventional and out-of-this-world controversial statements that have been called xenophobic (calling for banning all members of one religion from entering the country despite the First Amendment Freedom of Religion clause of the Bill of Rights) and racist (calling Mexican immigrants to the US rapists); and raking some actions that serve to scapegoat and demonize the 14 million Black Americans living in the US  (like recklessly tweeting a racist graphic created by a Neo-Nazi with made up stats from a non-existing entity which wrongly blames blacks for 97% of the murder of Whites when the actual FBI account has it at 14% and shows that 83% of Whites are killed by other Whites).  

Clearly, even though she is the Executive Vice President of Development and Acquisition of The Trump Organization, does not mean she would necessarily endorse his statements and thinking.  

The reality tv Star of The Apprentice has been silent on them altogether. She did appear briefly on Saturday Night Live with him when he hosted despite the objections of Latino protesters.

But of course she will support her own father. What’s the deal asking her to speak out against him? That’s not what she’s here for and she is not a politician.

Baby bump and me out on the town! #PlusOne

All of Daphne Oz’s Maternity Looks We Missed in One Post

daphne chew Collage

I didn’t know Daphne OZ, (Dr. Oz’s daughter) from The Chew was expecting her second child. She and her investment analyst hubby John Jovanovic  welcomed a son, Jovan Jovanovic ((JJ for short) about 6 weeks ago.  Pooh!






The couple have an almost two year old daughter Philomena Bijou  (nicknamed Philo for short), who they welcomed last February. The thing with pregnant TV hosts on daily shows is they have the best stylist to hook them up with the most adorbs looks. And Oz names the brands she wears so her fans and followers on social media can get the same style or look.  Awesome sauce! And now, all the photos we didn’t get to stalk earlier. (smile)

Tia Mowry says People Asking Her if She’s Pregnant are ‘Body-Shaming’

tiamowry-header

Well here is another case of “damned if you do, damned if you don’t”

Back in 2013, when Tia Mowry Hardrict  lost a ton  of weight after having her first child and became vegan, her fans all complained that she was too thin. Some begged her to gain more weight.

Now that the Instant Mom actress has put on a few pounds while shooting episodes of her Cooking Channel show, she’s getting trolled again.

This time, many are suggesting that perhaps the Rosewood star is pregnant.

The constant comments caused The Game alum to address the insinuations recently on an appearance on HuffPostLive

“I just looked at my Instagram […] and someone was insinuating that I’m pregnant again,” she said. “Guys, I’m not pregnant, I am just happy, and I’ve gained these extra 10, 15 lbs. because of my cooking show!”

The Tia Mowry at Home cooking show host added that she’ll drop the weight when she’s ready but until then, leave her be.

“I’m just enjoying life, and when I want to drop the pounds I will, but right now I’m happy with who I am,” she said.

She called the comments a form of body shaming.

“It’s pretty unfortunate,” she told the site. “We live in a society that is so obsessed with being perfect. Why can’t we just be us? Someone even wrote on my Instagram today, ‘Looks like you’ve picked up a little weight. I hope you lose it. I want you to lose it.’ It’s like, really? Why would you say that? Why do you feel the need to say that?”

Excellent point. The former star of the nowdefunct Style channel reality TV show Tia and Tamera also called for more body acceptance generally.

“We need to be more supportive with body images, especially women, showing that all sizes are beautiful,” she said. “I’m talking about in magazines, advertisements, in regards to what’s sexy and not sexy. We all need to be a little more supportive of each other.”

Another Bellyitch alum who loves to cook, P!nk, also had to shut down haters in April when people in social media going on and on about her post-tour weight gain.

“Here’s the issue: I don’t change my eating when I get home,” she told  US Magazine. “So everyone always asks me, ‘What are you going to do after?’ And I say, ‘Get really fat and happy.'”

She set them straight on Instagram  and Twitter.

“I am perfectly fine, perfectly happy, and my healthy, voluptuous and crazy strong body is having some much deserved time off. Thanks for your concern,” Pink tweeted to fat-shamers in April 2015 after she got slammed for looking curvy at an event. She signed her note, “Love, cheesecake.”

Bravo! We agree!

Good for you Mowry!

Of Course Kanye West named his son ‘Saint’, Of Course

anne geddes

Well, when your ego is as large as Kanye West’s, a man who nicknamed himself Yeezus after Jesus Christ, then you’d understand why he’d name his son Saint.

West and his wife Kim Kardashian-West announced the name they gave their newborn son who arrived this weekend.

A source close to the couple told US Weekly that they had been referring to the  baby as “Saint” long before his birth because they regarded him as a miracle baby given their struggles to conceive the second go-around.

“I had this condition called placenta accreta. There were a couple little operations to fix all that, so that created a little hole in my uterus, which I think made it really tough to get pregnant again,” Kardashian is quoted telling  C Magazine. “It was a long road. I would go to the doctor in Beverly Hills every day at five in the morning to get tested to see if I was ovulating . . . I was trying everything: I did acupuncture and got a nutritionist to eat healthier, thinking that was an issue.”

A ha!!! And…it fits with the family theme.  If you’ve ever read any Kanye West quotes you will realize that there’s a little bit of narcissism going on there.

North is the highest place you can go.

There is also royalty in the family. The kid’s cousin, Kourtney Kardashian’s youngest child is named Reign Aston Disick.

In the Catholic tradition, martyrs who die promoting or defending the faith may eventually become canonized by a Pope and become Saints. It’s a lengthy process that starts with tons of sacrifice and devotion.

Or….you can just skip all that, appoint your child the same name yourself and call it a day.

After all, as someone pointed out to me, there are children named Angel and Messiah. Also, many Hispanic parents name their kids Jesus. (pronounced  hey-sous) so Saint isn’t a far stretch, albeit its uniqueness.

We’ve all grown to accept and love North’s name and likely will do the same with Saint.

With Dad-to-Be Stuck on Plane, ‘The Leftovers’ Liv Tyler’s dad Steven Tyler cut her Son’s Umbilical Cord

tyler pregnant

Tonight is the season finale of one of my favorite shows, The Leftovers. In it, our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alum Liv Tyler is somewhat of a villain and I’m loving her performance on this dark and mysterious HBO drama.

(She’s on it with another fave of mine Regina King who I recently had a fan girl boast about on my hair blog.)

This Thursday, Tyler told Jimmy Kimmel ,while appearing on the show promoting her show, that her dad, rock legend, Steve Tyler of Aerosmith, cut the umbilical cord of last child , Sailor Gene Gardner, now 9-months old.

Sailor came 6-weeks early and Liv’s partner David Gardner couldn’t get to the birth in time because he was stuck on the plane so her pops stepped in! Nice! Though, I can see how some people could also find it a little icky. You know your dad there seeing his adult child push out a child. um…yeah.

Her half- sister Mia was there too.

 

The clip from Kimmel:

 

I used to have a 3 decades-long crush on Steven Tyler. It ended when he was serving as one of the celebrity judges on American Idol and I saw him oogling some 17-year old contestant who looked hawt. Ugh! Total turnoff. Well, it’s not like I don’t have a husband who is weirded out that the front man was one of my celeb crushes. ha!

liv tyler the leftovers

Watch the Finale of The Leftovers tonight! I think you can catch back episodes on the website, on Hulu or HBO on Demand or HBO’s stand alone service.

Sandra Bullock Introduces New Adopted Daughter 

Sandra Bullock started the process of adopting another child from Louisiana three years ago.

And in the December 14, 2015 issue of PEOPLE magazine, the Speed actress introduces her 3½-year-old Laila daughter.

“When I look at Laila, there’s no doubt in my mind that she was supposed to be here,” says Bullock, who adopted son Louis, 5, in 2010. “I can tell you absolutely, the exact right children came to me at the exact right time.”

The Oscar-winner noted that there are over 400,000 children in foster care in America waiting to be adopted.

She also explained in the issue how Louis lead the way.

“Louis spearheaded this whole journey,” The Blind Side star shared, adding they had to gain her trust but eventually to new brother and sister “have since formed an inseparable bond.”

“I knew she was scared, and all I wanted was for her to know Louis and I weren’t going anywhere,” she says of her daughter, who has brought “pink and glitter in the house mixed with Legos and Batmans.”
