Melanie and Vanessa Iris Roy have gone viral.
The Charlotte residents posted side-by-side snapshots of their
respective baby bumps on Instagram in February, with the Internet
finally taking notice a couple months later and turning them into online
sensations.
The first picture features a pregnant Melanie leaning in to plant a smooch on Vanessa. It was taken in the spring of 2014.
The second image depicts an expecting Vanessa resting her hand on her
baby bump and returning the kissing favor to Melanie. It was snapped in
2015.
The couple's son, Jax, plays on the sand below his parents in the latter photograph.
"Trading places," Melanie wrote as a caption.
Slowly but surely over the past few weeks, some websites picked up the precious split-screen Instagram picture.
It has garnered over 160,000 Likes and nearly 20,000 Shares alone on
the Facebook page of a Brazilian advocacy organization known as The
Rainbow Group.
"It's crazy to see that people were referring to my family as an
inspiration," Melanie told The Huffington Post yesterday about the
feedback she's received of late. "We are still in complete shock."
She hopes the photo will inspire other lesbian couples hoping to have kids.
"Vanessa and I have always said we would both like to carry," she
added. "The woman's body is incredible. The way it creates and grows
another human being is amazing. We hope that our picture is that sign
that some women may need to encourage them to carry a child."

One Thing I Regret Most is The Fact That I am Divorced: Actress Monalisa Chinda
Nollywod actress Monalisa Chinda talked about her failed marriage and more in a recent interview with Source
When asked about what she regret most about her past:
Chinda said.....
“One thing I regret most is the fact that I am divorced. Where I come from I am the first daughter. I am from a royal family. It has never been on record that the first daughter will walk out of her matrimonial home.
“But it is a matter of life and death otherwise I would have stayed back and make my marriage work. I tried to make it work but it takes two people to tango. That’s the only thing I regret, raising my child without a father. It’s a bit painful. But I have to live with it. It’s better that way than to expose my daughter to all sorts of domestic violence. It will definitely disorient her and affect her upbringing. She will be dis-functional. God knows the best. Maybe I should be more careful.”
On if she still believe in love:
“I believe in love. Love is the reason for our existence. It’s really not enough if you want to get something done, you have to do away with that emotion and be real.”

Kim Kardashian Actually Does Something Admirable
It pains us to write this, but: good on you, Kim Kardashian!
The reality star has finally found something to do with her fame that doesn't include reading scripted lines on E! or waist training om Instagram.
Kim is an executive producer of #RedFlag, a documentary on HLN that focuses on how social media can be employed as a tool to help identify and assist people with mental illnesses.
"I am blessed to be surrounded by family and friends that are loving and nurturing,” Kim said in a statement.

The documentary, which is also produced by Dr. Drew Pinsky, shines a spotlight on the tales of two young folks suffering from mental illness, both of whom used social media to express their pain.
It will premiere on May 5 at 9/8c:

I Only Rape Women When Am Bored: Rapist
For allegedly defrauding some women and later raping them, The police have arrested a suspected fraudster, Uchenna Ugwu.
The 26-year-old indigene of Enugu State, while being paraded at the
Awka, Anambra State office of the Department of State Service, confessed
to the crime, adding that he raped his victims to fight boredom.
It was learnt that Ugwu belonged to a syndicate, which specialized in luring ladies while pretending to
be spiritualists, defrauding and raping them. The mode of operation of
the group was to lure women into their trap and initially tricked them
into disclosing their ATM PIN codes. If a victim refused to comply, the
group would threaten to inflict a strange ailment on her based on a
spiritual power they possess.
PUNCH Metro gathered that having
succeeded, the gang members would take their victim to an arranged
prayer house, where she would be compelled to take a oath never to
disclose her experience to anyone.
The victim would then be raped on the pretext of making a charm for her.
This
was how Ugwu and his group operated in Asaba, Delta State, and Obosi,
in the Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State for a long
time, before luck ran out on Ugwu.
He was arrested by the DSS based on petitions from some of the victims.
Ugwu, who said he stopped his education at primary six due to financial constraint, said he turned to crime to survive.
His words:
“I joined this business to fight boredom because my former work was not going on fine and had shut down. My parents, who are still alive, are poor and because they cannot sponsor my education, I had to stop at primary six.”Ugwu, while begging for forgiveness, said he is a changed man.
“I have suffered a lot in the hands of these people (DSS) and I promise not to indulge in this act again in my life; this is a lesson to every young man that doing evil is not the best,” he said.A lady, who said she was a victim, told PUNCH Metro she believed she was hypnotized.
She said:
“I believe he used a charm on me. He told me if anybody heard about what happened, I would not live to tell the story. To be sincere, I did not know what I was doing. I lost my sense of reasoning during the process until after he raped me.”The Director of DSS, Alex Okeiyi, said the antics of the hoodlums were many, warning members of the public, especially females, to be cautious.
Okeiyi said:
“It is noteworthy that since agencies in the state with the support of the government kept kidnappers and armed robbers in check, undesirable elements resorted to fraudulent practices including rape.”

On three occasions, she broke my leg, preventing me from going out for days,’’ he said.Osuya also accused his wife of turning his children against him, thereby making them to hate him. “Abigeal succeeded in creating enmity between me and my children, she tells them false and damaging stories about me in order to hate me. “So my children only care for her by sending her money and other items every month, without extending their love to me, they always ignore me as if I do not exist,’’ Osuya said.
The petitioner described his wife as a thief. He said that she always stole his money, rendering him financially broke. “I cannot keep money at home again because my wife will steal it. “ She acted as if she is not always satisfied with the money I give her in spite of the fact that my children always send her money every month,’’ the petitioner said.Osuya said that Abigeal always starved him of food. He appealed to the court to dissolve the marriage, saying that “I am no longer interested in the marriage, I don’t want to die now, more so that I am out of love’’. Abigeal denied all the allegations. The mother of five said that she had never beaten her husband since the day she married him.
She said that it was her husband that always beat her. “It was my husband that always beat me on any slight provocation, I have never beaten him,” she said. The respondent also said that she had never stolen her husband’s money. Abigeal said that she used to cook for her husband wherever he gave her money for food.
She asked the court not to grant her husband’s prayer. “I am still in love with him,’’ she said. The Court President, Mr Hakeem Oyekan, adjourned the case till April 30 for further hearing.
