Janet Jackson Doesn't Want Her Niece To Start A Showbiz Career

2012-05-27T22:46:00.002+02:00

Left: Janet Jackson and her niece Paris Jackson (Michael Jackson's daughter)

Janet Jackson doesn't want her niece to start a showbiz career. The daughter of her late brother Michael Jackson.

She told Prevention magazine: 'We've spoken about the fact that you're only a child once.'I think there's a time for everything, and now is not the time [to act in films]. I told her I thought she should enjoy being a kid, possibly go to college or not, but wait until she turns 18.
'She's a very tough, smart girl. But it's a cut throat industry. I wouldn't want my child to do it.'

Yet Paris insisted in appearing in the film, which will feature both real and animated characters.

The movie will be based on a young adult series by Dennis H. Christen, about a dolphin turned into a human by ancient magic, a teenage boy who turns into a dragonfly and a jellyfish queen which morphs into an evil fairy godmother.

My thoughts: I wish young Paris will listen to Janet because she is talking from personal experience..But she believes that if Janet could make it, then she too can..

Mother's Fury After Facebook BANS Her From Posting Pictures Of Her Baby

2012-05-20T16:46:00.000+02:00

A furious mother is demanding answers from Facebook as to why they took down photographs she posted on the site of her son, who was born with a rare birth defect, and then later banned her from the site altogether.

Grayson James Walker, from Memphis, Tennessee, was born on February 15, 2012 with Anencephaly, a rare neural tube birth defect in which a baby is born without parts of the brain and skull.
His parents Heather and Patrick Walker knew 16 weeks into the pregnancy their son would not live very long due to his birth defect.

'They of course gave us the option to terminate,' said Heather. But they chose to carry their baby full term and turned to God for strength.'My husband and I, we started prayer and we knew that God knew since the beginning of time that he had us for this,' she said.

The couple were fully prepared to have to say goodbye to him on the same day they welcomed him into the world.

So, with the help of non-profit organization Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, they had a professional photographer to take photos of their newborn, just the same way as they did with their other two children and what most parents around the world do.

He only lived for eight hours but the Walkers wanted to capture his short life so his memory could live on forever.
Heather explained to Fox News that she uploaded the pictures on to her Facebook page so she could share them with family and friends.

In most of the pictures, baby Grayson is wearing a hat. But in some, he was not.
Heather explained: 'Not long after, Facebook deleted them because of the content. They allow people to post almost nude pictures of themselves, profanity, and so many other things but I'm not allowed to share a picture of God's beautiful creation.'
After repeatedly putting the removed picture on her profile, her account was temporarily disabled.
According to Facebook's community standards page, there are nine types of content that may be deemed offensive and removed: Violence and Threats, Self-Harm, Bullying and Harassment, Hate Speech, Graphic Violence, Nudity and Pornography, Identity and Privacy, Intellectual Property and Phishing and Spam
Heather said she has no idea which category the picture of her child without the hat falls under but has now launched a protest - posting the picture several times and getting her friends and family to contact Facebook.
Patrick Walker said of his son: 'You know, my son lived almost eight hours, and he's already done in eight hours what I could never do in a hundred lifetimes, and that's awesome.'
As of today, Heather's Facebook page is active again and the picture of Grayson which was deemed 'graphic' has not been removed.
Facebook have yet to provide a statement.

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO Is Now A Married Man

2012-05-20T09:19:00.001+02:00

This photo provided by Facebook

A day after the historic Facebook IPO, founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg updated his status Saturday to "married."
Zuckerberg wed 27-year-old Priscilla Chan, his girlfriend of nearly a decade. The couple married at his Palo Alto, Calif. home in front of fewer than 100 stunned guests. Zuckerberg gave his new bride a ring he had designed with a "very simple ruby"

The wedding had been planned for months and the couple was waiting for Chan to finish medical school.
Zuckerberg met Chan at Harvard, where he founded Facebook in a dorm room in 2004, and have been together for more than nine years.

Chan's own Facebook page, which now lists her as married to the founder, said she is a native of Braintree, Mass., and attended high school in nearby Quincy.

Zuckerberg is a very simple guy, wishing them happy married life!!

Bristol Palin Slams President Obama For Supporting Gay Marriage

2012-05-11T15:53:00.000+02:00

In a typed out message on her blog, Bristol Palin slammed President Barack Obama for announcing his support of gay marriage.
Bristol honed in on the fact that Obama's decision for the announcement was influenced by his teenage daughters writing in part on her blog, “While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage.”

The 21-year-old continued, “As great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.”

She continued " “In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.”

She finally wrapped up the message by concluding " “Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of ‘Glee.’”

2012-04-27T12:07:00.000+02:00

Thanks Nnenna for sharing this with us..

We need to teach our daughters the difference between a man who FLATTERS her and a man who COMPLIMENTS her, a man who SPENDS MONEY on her and a man who INVESTS in her, a man who views her as PROPERTY and a man who views her PROPERLY, a man who LUSTS after her and a man who LOVES her, a man who believes he’s God’s GIFT TO WOMAN and a man who remembers a woman is God’s GIFT TO MAN and then teach our sons to be that KIND OF MAN..

Have a great weekend!!

My Breast Implants Have Given Me Cancer

2012-04-22T15:03:00.001+02:00

Please spare sometime and read Susan Grieve's painful story about her journey from breast implants to cancer... ( She is warning all women thinking about breast implants to take some steps backwards; because you might not just be lucky)

Susan Grieve somehow manages a laugh, albeit a brittle one, as she reveals she is still paying for the breast implants she had nearly six years ago.
A single mother with a part-time job as a legal secretary, she couldn’t afford the £4,500 needed for the operation she was certain would improve her life, so she remortgaged her home to raise the cash.
When one of the implants burst last year and her surgeon recommended that both be replaced, the £1,500 bill went on a credit card, where the interest continues to accrue.

What will be the ultimate price for her ‘life-changing’ new breasts, though? That calculation may prove impossible. The biggest fear is that she will pay with her life itself.

Susan has cancer, a very rare and aggressive cancer which has rattled through her body at speed. A cancer she blames on her implants.

She is speaking to me ( reporter) from her hospital bed in Edinburgh, where she lies connected to all manner of tubes and machines.
Here, ironically, no one is bothered with the size of her breasts — least of all Susan. Today, the most pressing issue with her chest is how to get enough oxygen into it, and how to rid her lungs of the fluid collecting on them.
On her bedside table is a picture taken a year ago, just before her 40th birthday. That Susan — vibrant and happy — is now unrecognisable.
‘My mother brought it in and said, “Susan, this is what we want you to get back to”,’ she explains. ‘She thought it would make me feel better, give me something to aim for. But it didn’t — it made me feel worse.’
Today her face is painfully thin and her legs are bloated. ‘Steroids,’ she explains, gazing at her feet as if they belong to someone else.
Her skin is like paper, and she is bald beneath her pink scarf. She asked the nurse to shave her head a few weeks ago after chemotherapy had caused most of her hair to fall out. Just watching her is painful — especially when she speaks of her ten-year-old daughter Alix and weeps.
‘Everyone says that I can’t lie to Alix, but what do I say if she asks: “Are you going to die?” I want to tell her there is no way on this earth that I am going to leave her, but in my position I can’t make promises like that.’
So just what has any of this got to do with her breast implants? This is where the story becomes deeply concerning, as well as sad.
Susan believes her particular cancer — which has already been linked to breast implants in the U.S. — has been caused by the French-made PIP implants that she had fitted in 2006. The PIP implants, made by the now defunct Poly Implant Prothese company, are, of course, the ones at the centre of recent controversy.

Susan claims her cancer specialist and her cosmetic surgeon have been talking openly about the possibility of her cancer being linked to her implants.
‘My oncologist said to me, “I bet you wish you’d never had them done,” while the surgeon who did my breast implants has come to see me here, even though this hospital is not where he works. He gave me a hug and said: “I’m so sorry, Susan. This is what we feared most.” ’

As well as a ten-year-old daughter, Susan has a 24-year-old son, Craig. He works in banking and is by her side today, understandably furious on her behalf.

Susan is deeply upset that her case will now be the object of scrutiny. She is keen to point out that she was never ‘a silly wee girl who wanted bigger boobs to be the new Jordan’. ‘I just wanted to be normal,’ she says.
Her story begins just after her daughter Alix was born, when she sought help for her ‘deformed’ breasts, which she says, after childbirth, hung ‘like sacs’.
After separating from Alix’s father not long after she was born, she felt her self-confidence ‘on the floor’, and couldn’t bear to look at herself in the mirror. She was told that because of the severity of her condition, the operation might be available on the NHS, though the waiting list was two years.

‘I was in such a state that I decided I would rather go private,’ she says. ‘I did all the research, went to the best doctor, and thought I was making an informed choice. I thought the implants were safe. Even if they did rupture — and I knew there was a small risk of that — none of the stuff would get out. At the clinic, they cut one open in front of me so I could see that.’
Susan had the operation in December 2006, and the implants did change her life. She started seeing a new man, Andy, and was delighted with the fact that no one — not even her new boyfriend — guessed she’d had surgery.
Things were fine until last September, when she started suffering from a burning pain in her back. Her GP thought she might have a slipped disc, but the pain increased over the following weeks and he referred her for a scan.
‘They said they had found a mass on my left breast, and thought the implant had ruptured.

‘The surgeon told me about the problems, but said there was no evidence of toxic material that would cause cancer,’ says Susan.

She was still recuperating from her operation when news of the PIP scandal broke.
She says: ‘When they were talking about all these women who might be involved, I thought: “My God, that is me.” ’
Once the implants had been replaced, the race was on to find out what was causing her enlarged lymph nodes. By this time she had them in her chest, abdomen, neck and groin, and persistent pain.
‘I was in agony,’ she recalls. ‘I had swollen joints, and I ached from head to toe.’
A biopsy in January at first ruled out lymphoma, but she continued to be desperately ill. On March 1, she was rushed to hospital.
‘They did another test, and on March 12 they came to see me and said it was lymphoma after all,’ she says. ‘I couldn’t even take it in. My family and Andy were in bits.’
Susan was transferred to Western General Hospital in Edinburgh, which has a specialist cancer unit. A first round of aggressive chemotherapy was unsuccessful. She has now begun a second course. So what is her prognosis?
‘It is serious, stage 4, which means it has spread all over, but the doctors have said this treatment is working so far, and it’s good that I’m determined to fight,’ she says. ‘But no one who has cancer and a ten-year-old child can do anything but fight.’
She cries at the mention of Alix, explaining how she wanted to tell her about the diagnosis herself but was by then too weak.
‘I couldn’t lift my head from the pillow. Alix, who has been staying with her gran, wanted to know what was going on.
‘When my mum told her, Alix asked if I was going to die. Mum said you never know about things like that: sure, one of us could be hit by a bus tomorrow.’
How will this end? Susan agrees that her fight could end up in the courts. As a legal secretary, she is well aware of the need to keep notes, and started to keep a diary early in this whole sorry process. It makes for sobering reading.
So too, these days, do the showbiz gossip mags she once thought so harmless. Only now does she appreciate how they promote the cult of the pneumatic bust.
‘All those celebrities going on about how they had this boob job last time, and how they’re going to have that one next time.
‘You see it in a different light from where I am sitting. They really don’t have a clue, do they?’

Are Bridezillas losing Their Minds?

Jessica Schnaider, 41, from Surfside, Florida, who is looking forward to her July nuptials said she didn't have the time to exercise the amount required to shift the last 10lbs that would get her to her perfect wedding weight. So she decided to pay $1,500 to be fed by nose drips to shed 20lbs in ten days.
Opting for the extreme K-E diet she shed it all in just eight days.

Followers of the K-E diet have a small feeding tube inserted into the nose that administers fat, protein and water to the body and stops them eating for ten days.

Bit by bit, the solution is deposited into the stomach via the nasogastric tube, delivering 800 calories a day and suppressing the appetite.
The astonishingly fast results are achieved as body fat is burned off through a process known as ketosis.

'It was emotionally difficult, the ten days of not eating,' she admitted. 'And sometimes I had to give excuses to people who were asking are you sick? And I was like, "No, I'm not sick, I'm not dying, I'm fine."'

Mother and daughter spent £3,500 each on the double set of breast implants boosting their frame from a 32A to a C and D cup, respectively.

Daniella who is just 21 yrs old told The daily mail: 'I’ve never had any breasts ever. In school, I got made fun of - kids would say I had the body of a 10-year-old.
'From the age of 15 I’ve wanted to have it done. It will help my confidence a lot, that’s why I want it done.'
'I had the operation first then it was my mum’s turn. When we came round from the operation we were both prodding our new boobs.
'We are both thrilled to bits with our new boobs - we just can’t wait to go shopping for a whole new wardrobe of fancy bras and low cut tops.'

And mother-of-four, Geraldine added: 'I was so envious when my daughter told me she was having a boob - but only because I’ve wanted it myself for 30 years.
'I’ve been flat chested all my life and unfortunately I’ve passed the genes down.
'I have always dreamed of having a curvy, womanly figure but my chest is as flat as a pancake.
She finally added 'I feel fantastic now. My new boobs have given me new found confidence that I never had before. I am so grateful to Daniella for spurring me on.'

The question goes to you the reader : Do you think breast implant is the only way a woman can gain her confidence?
