Cancer Patient, Brittany Maynard Ends Own Life

Brittany Maynard chose to end her own life.

 
The 29-year old has made head lines over the past few months for taking advantage of Oregon's Death with Dignity Act, which allows one to take a fatal dose of barbiturates (prescribed by a doctor) in the case of a life-threatening disease.

Maynard was told by physicians last spring that she had Stage 4 glioblastoma and would likely pass away within six months.

Wrote Maynard in a Facebook post before making her fatal decision:
"Goodbye to all my dear friends and family that I love. Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness, this terrible brain cancer that has taken so much from me … but would have taken so much more.
"The world is a beautiful place, travel has been my greatest teacher, my close friends and folks are the greatest givers. I even have a ring of support around my bed as I type … Goodbye world. Spread good energy. Pay it forward!"

On October 6, Maynard launched an online video campaign with Compassion & Choices, an end-of-life choice advocacy organization, to fight for expanding death with dignity laws around the country.
Maynard spent the final months traveling to Alaska, British Colombia and Yellowstone National Park with her loved ones.

"For me what matters most is the way I'm remembered by my family and my husband as a good woman who did my best to be a good wife and a good daughter," Maynard Told People last month, adding:

"Beyond that, getting involved with this campaign, I hope to be making a difference here. If I'm leaving a legacy, it's to change this health-care policy or be a part of this change of this health care policy so it becomes available to all Americans. That would be an enormous contribution to make, even if I'm just a piece of it."

OMG!!!Comedian Post a Photo of Herself Topless While Riding a Horse Just Like The Russian President Vladimir Putin - See Photos

Chelsea Handler had herself a very busy Thursday night.

The comedian took to Instagram to post a photo of herself topless while riding a horse, juxtaposing this racy image with a similar photo made famous by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Anything a man can do, a woman has the right to do better. #kremlin," Handler captioned the picture.

But Instagram quickly removed the image, citing its policy on nudity, which only incensed the lewd talk show host.

"If a man posts a photo of his nipples, it's ok, but not a woman? Are we in 1825?" Handler wrote in another Instagram message.

Handler then re-published the nude photo on Twitter and wrote along with it: "Taking this down is sexist. I have every right to show I have a better body than Putin."

The comedian, of course, is no stranger to getting naked on social media.

In August, she stripped down on Instagram to mock the Kardashians.
 


Meanwhile, she added the racy picture to Instagram a second time, daring the website to violate her First Amendment rights.

"If instagram takes this down again, you're saying Vladimir Putin Has more 1st amendment rights than me. Talk to your bosses,” she wrote.

So Instagram went ahead and yanked down the photo a second time... then reinstated it... and then deleted it a third time, all within an hour.

Handler will debut a new talk show on Netflix in October 2016, but it's never too early to start making some headlines for it, right?

Seriuosly Serious......? 19 Things every girl does but will never admit

You Instagram all your meals, tweet every rando thought that crosses your mind, and make all your relationships Facebook offish. But no matter how much you share on social media, there are just some things you do that you won't admit to that everyone still knows you do.

But don't worry, no one else is admitting to them either. Here are just some of the embarassing things everyone does but will never admit to.

1. Pick your nose.
2. Facebook stalk your crush, your ex, your BFF, people you don't knowbasicallyeveryone.
3. Ugly cry when you're by yourself...for no particular reason.
4. Practice important conversations in the mirror.
5. Creep on someone you don't know that well on social media, and then when you actually meet them/hang out with them, pretend you don't know everything about them already.
6. Turn down the volume on your headphones to eavesdrop on convos.
7. Wear the same outfit two days in a row when you know you won't see the same people.
8. Click "View As" on Facebook to see what your profile looks like to your crush.
9. Spend at 20 minutes figuring out which pose looks best before posting to your Insta.
10. Grab something up off the floor and if it passes the sniff test (translation: doesn't smell), wear it.
11. Make up plans so you can stay home and binge-watch Netflix.
12. Finish an entire bag of cookies in one sitting.
13. "Accidentally" snap chat your crush and say it was "for a friend".
14. Google the lyrics to a new song so next time it comes on, you can amaze your friends with your skillz.
15. Act like you're stretching so you can secretly sniff your armpits to make sure they don't stink.
16. Pretend to text while you secretly take a million selfies.
17. Edit your text approximately 1,000 times before sending it to your crush.
18. Sleep with a night light because you're totally still afraid of the dark.
19. Act like you haven't done everything on this list.

Actress Baby Blanche Reveals Why She Does Not Wear Panties – Read

Due to the kind of clothes she likes to wear and is comfortable in, Baby Blanche has revealed in an interview with Showbiz that she hardly wears panties when she’s going out. “I love all kinds of lingerie that make a woman feminine because I’m a woman, but I hardly wear panties.

This is not because I don’t want to wear them but because the clothes I love to wear wouldn’t permit me to,” she told Showbiz. “I try as much as possible to act as a lady and not to let my panty lines show just because I like to wear dresses that hug my figure. 

So if I wear clothes and the outline of my panty is glaring like that I don’t like it,” she explained. “Being a lady is not only about wearing make-up and Brazilian hair but also comprises the propriety of whatever you’re wearing,” says Baby Blanche. 

Baby Blanche says she does not worry much about thoughts that she may be sexually attacked by unscrupulous men because she makes sure she doesn’t go to awkward places at awkward times. “I wouldn’t ever put myself at risk by finding myself at an awkward place at an awkward time.

” Talking about her the progress of movie career, the actress says she refuses to be type-cast any longer in so-called ‘sexy’ roles as had happened in the past, she now chooses roles that are challenging because as an actress she believes she should be able to play different roles. 

“When I first get a script, I read it and think about it. Do I really want to do this job? Is the story catchy enough? I just don’t say because I’m an actress I accept just any script. I read a script and if I’m interested, I give it a shot. 

I want to be challenged this time around so I want daring scripts that would have more challenging roles,” she explained. Having been out of the limelight for some time now she says she is back with a vengeance. 

“I’ve been away from movie sets for a while due to personal reasons. But I’ve sat down and decided that this is where I belong and this is my passion. 

My family and my fans let me know that this is my talent and since then, I’ve done three movies so they should watch out. 

I’m coming back soon, better and rebranded.” Baby Blanche was discovered by Socrates Safo of Movie Africa Productions and started acting about four years ago. 

She has appeared in several movies helmed by the famed producer/director, including Hot Fork, Adults Only, What S*x Can Do, among others. She assures her fans of nothing but the best from her in subsequent movies. 

“I can assure my fans that anytime they see me in a movie it will be something they will really want to sit back and watch. 

I’m going to surprise a lot of people who do not know the depth of my talent,” Baby Blanche says. “I thank my fans for the support and the encouragement I’ve been getting on social media, like Facebook and Instagram. Had it not been them, there would be no point in me being out there. 

I thank them and everybody who wants me to come back. And I thank my enemies because they give me the urge to strive and give off my best,” she added. 

The sexy actress says the parts of her body she feels most comfortable flaunting on any day are her flat tummy and her legs. She says she does it only to ‘tease a little’.

Kim Kardashian goes Skeletal for Halloween (PHOTOS)

Kim Kardashian got very much into the Halloween spirit.

 
Then, for a woman obsessed with being thin, Kim herself donned an appropriate outfit: she got all dolled up as a skeleton, as you can see for yourself here:

But Kardashian wasn't finished!
Later on in the day, Kim transformed herself into Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour, while a likely confused Nori went as Vogue contributing editor Andre Leon Talley....lol!

That’s makeup artist Joyce Bonelli (as Grace Coddington, creative director of Vogue) and her son (a small Karl Lagerfeld) joining in on the fun:

My Boyfriend Said I Was Too Fat, I Dropped 30 Pounds And Dumped Him.....Read

A cruel comment from her boyfriend during a romantic getaway made 22 year old Paige Way to drop from a whopping size 28 to a size 12.

 

Paige said her boyfriend told her that she was too fat for them to have sex. The comment from her boyfriend shamed her into shedding a lot of weight.

"It was absolutely mortifying when my boyfriend told me that my belly was getting in the way, but it gave me the push I needed to finally do something about my weight. I'd always been big as a child, and then I was 'the fat one' in my bunch of friends. Men would say horrible things about me on nights out, like "God, look at the size of her."

 

"I had no confidence whatsoever, but I tried to kid myself that I was happy being fat. Even when I broke a sun lounger at a family barbeque by sitting on it, I just laughed it off. However, when my boyfriend made that comment, I knew I couldn't kid myself any longer."

So for the next eight months, Paige worked on her weight, exercising and eating small portions of healthy food. By the time she'd lost all the weight, she dumped the man that felt she wasn't good enough. Now she says losing weight has completely changed her life and she's single again and looking for Mr Right

"Every time I think back to the night at the hotel, it makes me cringe. But it made me make a change. Now I'm happier than I've ever been - and I definitely haven't had any complaints about my belly since!"

Rihanna Returns to Instagram: Welcome Back, @badgalriri!

For the first time since May, the singer has posted to @badgalriri, surprising her followers yesterday with the following selfie and accompanying caption.

It simply read: Hellurrr #badgalback.

Rihanna said goodbye to Instagram in May after the social media service took down topless photos of the artist it deemed to be inappropriate.
We know, right? How could anyone think Rihanna topless photos were inappropriate?!? They seem completely appropriate to us.

Along with the snapshot above, Rihanna published an animated photo of a stick figure version of herself holding hands with an Instagram icon, writing this time as a caption:
“#RIHunited #badgalback @instagRam.”

Let's hope a return to Instagram doesn't mean Rihanna will tone things down at all because, come on, that wouldn't be any fun, would it?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Marriage on Fire: Battling for Custody of Daughter!

Cheating charges! Secret incriminating tapes! THE DIRTIEST DIVORCE EVER!!!

According to the latest issue of In Touch Weekly, Kim Kardashian should take a break from waist training and find the best attorney she can afford.

Because she's involved in an intense custody battle with Kanye West over their daughter North. Oh no!

According to HWG,  Kimye’s marriage is on “life support” following an ugly fight that took place late last week.

See, Kanye told Kim he was planning to move to Paris full-time and “it was like a sucker punch to the back of her head," writes the tabloid. "She screamed back that there was no way in hell he was taking North, then ran out of the room sobbing.”

That sounds terrible!

“The ruse stopped that night,” says the In Touch insider. “She’s finally done with The Kanye Show - a divorce and custody battle are imminent."

Making matters even more upsetting? Talk that Kim Kardashian is pregnant with baby number-two.

If this cover story were true, that child would be in danger of growing up without a father.

"This could be the messiest divorce battle ever," the source concludes. "It’s going to be all-out war for that little girl."

And also for $250 million, as In Touch Weekly previously claimed in a Kimye divorce story. Hmmm... whatever happened with that?

Apple Chief Executive, Tim Cook: 'I'm proud to be gay'

 

Mr Cook said he made his announcement to try to help people struggling with their identity

Apple chief executive Tim Cook has publicly acknowledged his sexuality, saying that he is "proud to be gay".

Mr Cook made his announcement to try to help people struggling with their identity, he wrote in a Bloomberg article.

He has been open about his sexuality, but has also tried to maintain a basic level of privacy until now, he said.
This week Mr Cook challenged his home state of Alabama to ensure the rights of gay and transgender people.
"I don't consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I've benefited from the sacrifice of others," he wrote.

"So if hearing that the CEO [chief executive] of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy," he added.

Mr Cook said that he had been open about his sexuality with many people, including colleagues at Apple, but that it still "wasn't an easy choice" to publicly announce his sexual orientation.
