Chrissy Teigen Wants Y’all to Quit Sending Her Photo of that Viral John Legend Look-A-Like Baby

teigen legend
Chrissy Teigen is tired. Tired of y’all sending her that viral photo of somebody’s baby who looks like John Legend! Cut it out. Here, let Chrissy tell you herself:

 

The baby, then 4-months old, is named Camden. Last April, 2014, on Easter Sunday April 20, his aunt Rachel Ayanaw tweeted an adorable photo of her sweet nephew.

“My nephew looks like John Legend lol,” she wrote in the post alongside a pic of Caden strapped into a car seat, US Weekly reported. Legend found it cute and tweeted out his own baby photo which another fan did a side-by-side graphic on April 21….and since then, Camden has become an Internet Legend.

 And we mean there have been plenty of memes and graphics of this kid. Here is our Fave:

Sorcery! One Week Post-Delivery These 2 Celeb’s Tummy Look Like This?

 

It’s quite easy to blame sorcery for this:

One week after delivering baby girls, these two celebrity women who had really tiny baby bumps all pregnancy long, bounced back tremendously and showed it off on their Instagram pages.

Reality TV star and TV host Coco Austin gave birth to her first child, daughter, Chanel Nicole, with actor & TV co-host husband Ice-T on November 28.

She posted a photo of her before and after really tiny post birth tummy one week later. 

Similarly, R&B singer Teyana Taylor welcomed her first child, daughter Imani, with her NBA star fiancé Iman Shumpert on December 16, and 6 days later took to Instagram to thank God for her bounce back. 

 

“Dear Baby Iman…. Thank you for this snap back in 6 days,” Taylor captioned the photo caption. “I love you my darling. Lol #AintNoGymBih #StillGotALongWayToGoButImGettimgThere.”

The comment section to each post was filled with pregnant women praying to God that they look like that post baby. 

God can do amazing things, for the Faithful who believe in him, but these two ladies’ respective speedy recovery was more likely due to the fact they were fit and pretty small before and throughout their pregnancy. 

And in the case of Coco, she explained that she ate extremely healthy.

Good for them, following in the footsteps of these celebrity women here and here and here.

However, as I always caution in these situations, each woman’s body is different. Most women do not and should not expect similar body bounce back as another and most definitely, as a celebrity. Many of them have the extra help of nannies, personal chefs, personal trainers and a career that depends on a super quick bounce back. 

Austin told US Weekly that as well. 

“My friends were like, ‘Wait until the last month: Your bump is really gonna pop!’ But then I was nine months and I looked like I was just six months,” she told the mag. “Not every woman has the same pregnancy. I don’t really know what to say other than I have nothing to prove, and she’s here now.”

The wide spread impact of influential women sharing their amazing post-baby bodies (and gossip mags too) is pregorexia and unrealistic expectations among the general population about how a post-natal body should look.

Further, I imagine women rushing to he gym too soon  after giving birth to speed up the recovery rather than bonding with their baby and giving their body time to heal. 

This is very true especially for those who have had c-sections because one small straining move could cause a tear in their c-section incision and wind them back in the hospital if they don’t hemorrhage and die. 

Yeah. Not worth it when you put it in proper perspective.

These are the Largest and Most Outrageous Gingerbread Houses You’ll Ever See

Bellyitch Rewind
When you think of Christmas, you also think of yummy Gingerbread houses! The Daily Meal put together a slideshow of 12 of the most outrageous and amazing gingerbread homes.
Included in it is this nearly 2-ton life-size gingerbread house (above) at The Fairmont San Francisco which took the culinary team 1,100 hours to scale, mix, bake, construct, and decorate. Its 7,500 gingerbread bricks are melded together with 1,600 pounds of royal icing and decorated with 724 pounds of candy.
Here are some from that list and a few others ginormous world-record setting houses:
Through this January 11, visitors to the New York Hall of Science in Queens, New York, can take a peek at chef Jon Lovitch‘s world largest gingerbread village which is made up of 500 pounds of gingerbread, 1,000 pounds of icing.  It took him an entire year to assemble. Get a sneak peek at the video from the presentation below:

In 2013, the Guinness Book of World Records declared this 2, 520 square foot, 21-foot high Bryan, Texas gingerbread home the largest gingerbread home.  It is nearly the size of a tennis court. The deelish building is about  35.8 million calories! Well what would you expect when the recipe requires 1,800 pounds of butter, 2,925 pounds of brown sugar, 7,200 eggs, 7,200 pounds all-purpose flour, 1,080 ounces ground ginger and a few other ingredients, bake and form into panels for mounting?

In the summer, the local bees come around and leave drunk and high off of sugar! Luckily, no visitors have been stung!

That house took the title away from the massive 36,600 cubic foot gingerbread house that was on display at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota in 2012.
 Each year, the White House pastry team prepares a 300-pound gingerbread replica of the White House that is displayed prominently in the home for Holiday tour visitors. Last year’s rested on a lawn of Springerle cookies. Neat features include a working North Lawn fountain, first family dogs Bo and Sunny sitting on the front steps, and lighting from within that gives the house a magical glow
Finally, you can’t eat any part of this 20,000 square feet 6-bedroom, $10 million dollar Brooklyn, New York home.  It is just called the “Gingerbread House” because of the way it looks like a real edible one. The home, built in 1917, just went on the market this year after having just  four previous owners.  The 3 and a half bathroom home rents for $ 26,000 per month, otherwise and is known for surprise architectural detailing inside.

The former reality TV star, who also starred in a self-titled show about her life in 2011, tweeted the news as part of a sponsored ad with Clear Blue.

Top 10 Holiday Hostess Gifts

The holiday season calls for entertaining and being entertained, in other people’s homes at cocktail parties, open houses, family and friends’ gatherings.

It is common etiquette to take the host a hostess gift, a small token of gratitude for opening their home and planning a gathering.

Here are the top 10 common things people bring to hosts:

1. A bottle of wine. This can be any variety and presented in a festive gift bag.

2. A box of chocolates. Everyone loves chocolates and the season is about decadent excessive eating after all.

3. Note cards. Nice notecards are the type of things people don’t buy for themselves ordinarily so that’s a great gift.

4. A nice plotted plant or flowers. These can last he season of taken care of well. Great gift.

5. Scented candles. Fragrances to mask the smell of cooking and make the home aromatic are wonderful.

6. Gift sets. Whether it’s candy, scented soaps or lotions, anything tied in a nice bow would work

7. Olive Oil. Many kitchen stores and gourmet gifts stores sell olive oil in nice decorative decanters.

8. Tree Ornaments. Why not give the host a new ornament to decorate the tree with this year or next?

9. Wine Tags. Stores sell these tags that guests use to identify their glass of wine or decorate a wine bottle. They’re inexpensive but classy

10. Picture Frame. Buy a frame with a nice saying or that is a conversation piece on its own.

Good luck shopping and don’t forget to pick up your hostess gifts while you’re out.

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!

New Jewish Holiday Traditions include Hanukkah Trees and Stockings, Menorah Trees

More and more Jewish families are adopting Christmas holiday traditions like  putting up Hanukkah bushes and trees, and even Menorah trees in their homes.

With Christmas being such a major celebrated holiday and season in the United States, many parents of Jewish children have found a way to meld the festivities with their own religious practices.

Recently, we’ve noticed many Jewish families hanging Hannukah stockings, and integrating the traditional festival of lights with the customs of Christmas. After all, much of the traditions aren’t really related to Christianity and some elements of Christmas trace back to pagan practices.

A Pew Research survey released  in 2013 found that 32% of Jews said they had a Christmas tree in their home the previous year.

 It’s common especially in interfaith families among Jews married to non-Jews.  The survey found that 71% said they put up a tree.
My mother is Roman Catholic and my father Muslim and more than anyone in the family, he looked forward to decorating the tree and exchanging presents. Over the years, it could easily be argued that the Christmas season has become secular to a certain extent.
That’s exactly what those who are critical say.  The reason it’s easy for non-Christians to adopt Christmas traditions is because the holiday has become  an excuse to get caught up with the consumerism that has taken over Christmas. It has become less about the birth of Jesus Christ and more about an excuse to go crazy in the mall.
Your thoughts? If you are Jewish, have you or would you consider putting up a Hannukah tree?
