  • Courtney Stodden Is A Great Wife, Not At All An Attention Whore

    Not even Roman Polanski believes this bitch is 17, but here's Courtney Stodden and her creepy 51-year old husband, Doug Hutchison on the beach in a shoot to dispel all the rumors that everything on her is fake. Seriously. And I believe her. Because when I think "all natural", I automatically think perfectly round oversized implants, fake eyelashes, and a spray tan that makes you look like a bengal tiger with rosacea.

    Note: In case you fully aren't convinced this chick is crazy, read her Twitter. Or just stop by a psychiatric ward and ask somebody to write something. Trust me, it will be the same thing.

    Christina Hendricks Gives Us Her ‘I Was an Ugly Kid’ Story

    Christina Hendricks told the Mirror that she had the worst high school experience ever and was constantly bullied for being a goth. She says she grew up feeling “ugly, awkward and horrible.” Yea, it’s going to be another one of those stories.

    “My school days were pretty unhappy. I had the worst high school experience ever. I went to a very mean school and was bullied like crazy.

    “I was a bit of a goth with purple hair and I was also part of the drama group, so my friends and I were all weird theatre people and everyone just hated us.

    “There was a long corridor with lockers on either side and kids would sit on top of them and spit on you. It was like something out of Lord of the Flies.” The Mirror

    Well, I’d hate to see how that hallway looked at the end of school every day. From that description, I imagine there were dried up loogies lining the floor. You have to wonder, who had it harder, her or the guy who had to clean that up every single evening.
    A natural blonde, she began dying her hair red aged 10 – to be like the heroine of children’s book Anne of Green Gables. Then in her early teens, the family moved to Fairfax, Virginia.

    Christina says: “The girls there had purses and I still had my backpack from Idaho.

    “Moving as a teenager is never easy. So I tried to set myself apart and it ended up with multi-coloured hair. It was how I was expressing myself.

    “I was a goth kid. I dyed my hair about 42 different colours, shaved it at the back and wore black make-up. Kids can be pretty judgmental about people who are different.

    So instead of buying a purse, she bought 42 different colors of hair dye, shaved the back of her head and put on black make-up. Makes sense.

    Nursing a broken heart? How taking a paracetamol could dull the pain of rejection

    It's what songwriters have been saying for years, and now scientists agree – love really does hurt.

    But what the ballads don’t tell us is that a simple dose of paracetamol could help ease the pain of a broken heart.

    The rather prosaic cure emerged in a study by neuroscientists which found that emotional pain is processed in the same area of the brain as physical pain.

    They also discovered that hurt feelings – such as being dumped by a partner – can respond to painkillers.

    In a three-week trial at the University of California, 62 people were told to take either Tylenol – the American name for paracetamol – or a placebo and then record how they felt every night.

    The study found those who took 1,000mg of the painkiller, or around two tablets, showed a ‘significant reduction in hurt feelings’ compared to those taking the placebo.

    Another test involved participants taking part in a computer game which was devised to make some of them feel rejected.

    At the same time they had brain scans, which showed the pain of being socially rejected was processed in the same area of the brain as physical pain – in the anterior cingulate cortex.
    noticed a correlation between brain activity in people who had experienced social rejection and others who had experienced physical pain.


    The scientists saw a correlation in the brain activity of people who had experienced social rejection and physical pain

    The test was then repeated, with some of the group on painkillers. This group had less pain-related activity in their brains than those on a placebo.

    Dr Naomi Eisenberger, an assistant professor of social psychology, said: ‘Rejection is such a powerful experience for people. If you ask people to think back about some of their earliest negative experiences, they will often be about rejection, about being picked last for a team or left out of some social group.

    ‘It follows in a logical way from the argument that the physical and social pain systems overlap, but it’s still kind of hard to imagine. We take the drug for physical pain; it’s not supposed to work on social pain.

    Pamela Anderson looks a fright with overplucked eyebrows and heavy lip liner

    She is often seen sporting a make-up free face displaying natural beauty.

    But Pamela Anderson looked somewhat a fright last night as she applied a heavy application of products for the launch of Terry Richardson's gallery.

    The former Baywatch star's face looked unusual due to her overplucked eyebrows and lashings of dark lip liner at the Terrywood exhibition in LA.

    While the 44-year-old showed off her iconic figure in a white minidress belted at the waist, for a rare change all eyes were deflected away from her svelte silhouette and drawn to the beauty blunder.

    Meanwhile, Pamela wore her blonde locks loose in a tumbling wavy style and accessorised her outfit with some beige platformed heels.

    The pair reportedly reached an undisclosed out-of-court settlement, after the property mogul filed a claim for $22.5 million, alleging Anderson failed to promote a property contract and cancelled personal appearances.

    But whether or not she failed to complete her end of the bargain, Pamela has redeemed herself by auctioning off her car to raise money for Haiti.

    The blonde bombshell listed her Range Rover on eBay, with a starting price of $30,000 in a bid to mark the two-year anniversary of the disaster.

    Pamela has been dating Jon Rose, a professional surfer and an environmentalist, for the past few months.

    She wasn't the only one to have suffered from a beauty blunder at the star-studded event last night.

    Sophia Cahill Walked the Runway Nude and Pregnant

    Miss Wales 1999 Sophia Cahill, who you may remember from years ago as the girl with big tits who got her top pulled down by her friend, walked the runway for Robyn Coles’ debut show at London Fashion week naked and six months pregnant. I blame Alessandra Ambrosio for popularizing this pregnant on runway thing. Sophia, 28, said she did it to empower single mothers. And let’s not forget the attention. Oh the attention.
    The glamour model, who has a son Bailey, aged nine, separated from her unborn baby’s father nine weeks into her pregnancy and said she was determined to find the confidence to show a heavily pregnant women can be “strong and beautiful”.
    “If I hadn’t have been pregnant, I wouldn’t have given doing this a second thought,” she said.
    “I would have said yes, no problem at all.
    “But your body changes so much when you’re having a baby and I was worried how other people would react seeing that – it scared me.
    “I’m a single mum, and I’m really passionate about promoting the strength of single mums and that’s why I did it.
    “Women can do anything they want,” she said, admitting she had been nervous backstage. “They should be proud of their bodies and a woman in a heavily-pregnant state is the most feminine state, it’s so beautiful, why should it be hidden away and covered up?”

    The Five Rankings Upsets of UFC 144

    The thing I liked more than the great knockouts, the back and forth fights, and the incredible comebacks was that there were so many upsets on this card. I don't pay attention to upsets betting-wise, but in terms of rankings...there were a certainly more than usual. I personally love it when guys win and shake up the rankings, we can all have a look after the jump.

    Bantamweight - Unranked Chris Cariaso defeats #12 Takeya Mizugaki via Unanimous Decision.

    From what I understood, this was a decision most saw the other way, and Dana F. White gave Mizugaki his win bonus. That being said, the Bloddy Elbow play-by-play noted that it was a 'close fight' after the first two rounds and they scored round 3 for Cariaso...so I feel Cariaso's upset is worth mentioning, even if it wasn't the best call by the judges.

    Middleweight - #23 Tim Boetsch defeats #3 Yushin Okami via Knockout.

    God bless Tim Boetsch for going for it like he did. Too often you see fighters down two rounds in a 3 round fight essentially stop trying to really change the fight in the 3rd. Boetsch was down two rounds, and had nothing to lose. He was either going to drop a decision or get finished. His only option for victory was to get a finish himself, and he came out in the 3rd, went for broke, and made it happen. Hats off to him.

    Heavyweight - #22 Mark Hunt defeats #12 Cheick Kongo via Knockout.

    Mark Hunt's MMA career is illustrated by a few high peaks and low valleys: He lost his first fight, followed it with a five fight winning streak, then suffered 6 straight losses and has now resurged with 3 straight victories. The fights that the UFC were contractually obligated to give him were his last chance to make something more of his MMA career, Hunt knew that and has risen to the occasion beautifully.

    Light Heavyweight - #16 Ryan Bader defeats #5 Quinton Jackson via Unanimous Decision.

    In all likelyhood, Jackson's alleged knee injury which resulted in him eventually missing weight probably had an effect on his performance tonight. Would Rampage necessarily have won without the knee injury is anyone's guess, but Bader went out there and did what he needed to do for 3 rounds.

    Bader losing to Jon Jones is what almost everyone expected, him losing to Ortiz is what nobody expected. Everyone seemed to want to permanently write him off after the loss to Tito. 'He lost to Tito Ortiz, in 2011, he's THAT bad!' or 'He's the only guy to lose to Tito Ortiz since 2006!' were repeated often. I don't like using the 'oh he just got caught' excuse for upsets in MMA, or for any outcome...it seems to just write off what the winner did. But sometimes, one guy just happens to land the right punch on someone who would likely beat him 9/10 times. I didn't think it was fair to write him off completely just because of that loss.

    I love that he's shocked everyone by doing what nobody expected him to do and defeated Rampage.

    Lightweight - #4 Benson Henderson defeats #1 Frankie Edgar via Unanimous Decision.

    It wasn't a huge rankings upset, but it was an upset nonetheless. The fight was certainly competitive, but it felt to me like Henderson did enough to take the rounds he needed to win.

    Dana White Says Anthony Pettis Will 'Likely' Get Next UFC Lightweight Title Shot UFC RESULT 144

    EX-WEC lightweights had a good night at UFC 144 in Japan, and it appears that the last WEC fight ever might be re-created in the UFC octagon. As we all know by now, Ben Henderson claimed the UFC lightweight title with a unanimous decision win over Frankie Edgar in the main event tonight. Anthony Pettis led off the card with a highlight-reel head kick knockout of Joe Lauzon, and made it clear that he thinks he deserves a title shot. And UFC president Dana White agreed with that when he spoke at the post-fight press conference:


    The two met the first time at WEC 53, where Pettis claimed the win and the WEC lightweight title and made the term "Showtime Kick" popular. White did temper his enthusiasm somewhat by saying that he doesn't like making those kinds of decisions on fight night and "we'll see what happens", but it'd be hard to deny Pettis his shot at this point. Many would like to see the winner of UFC on Fox 3's main event, Nate Diaz vs. Jim Miller, get a shot, but that fight is three months from now and this seems to make more sense. Dana has been known to change his mind on these things all the time, but as of tonight, it looks like Ben Henderson will be making his first UFC lightweight title defense against a familiar foe.

    Nirvana Jennette, Mom Forced Out Of Church For Breastfeeding, Aims To Change Georgia Law

    According to Fox 30 WAWS, although Georgia state law allows a mother to nurse her child anywhere, Jennette could face public indecency charges. She wants her message to be heard loud and clear -- breastfeeding is natural and moms who want to feed their children in public should be protected. To that end, she's decided to stage a nurse-in and is seeking to establish legislative change for the State of Georgia.

    On March 5th, Jennette will stage the "Georgia Statewide Nurse-In" at the Woodbine Courthouse and is calling for moms and supporters to join her via Facebook. Nurse-in protests are becoming much more common -- recently, moms breastfed in front of Facebook's headquarters after nursing photos were wrongfully removed from the social network. And after mom, Michelle Hickman, was shamed for breastfeeding at a Target store, she organized a nationwide nurse-in that took place in several retail locations.

    The Georgia Statewide Nurse-In, aims not only to spread awareness and support for breastfeeding moms, but to change the law. As Jennette writes in her petition letter:


    Currently Georgia state law allows a mother to nurse her child anywhere that mother and child have permission to be, but there is no enforcement provision. A law without enforcement protects no one. New legislation would provide for civil action against anyone subjecting a nursing mother to harassment or discrimination in violation of the current state breastfeeding law, as well as protection from all indecent exposure laws.

    She insists that the law be changed and says, "We will not stop until they are."

    According to Jennette's Facebook page, her cause has even been recognized by Oprah. When the queen of daytime television was in Georgia for Lovetown, USA, (a TV show on the OWN network) she was photographed holding the Georgia Statewide Nurse-In flyer.

    A Little Advice The Only Parenting Advice You Need

    I don't believe in advice. My theory is that everybody has the answers right inside of her, since we're all made up of the same amount of God. So when a friend says, "I need some advice," I switch it to "I need some love," and I try to offer that. Offering love usually looks like being quiet, listening hard, and letting my friend talk until she discovers that she already has all the answers. Since I don't offer advice, Craig and I find it funny that people ask me for it every single day. Constantly. Craig once asked what I make of that and I told him that I think friends ask me for advice because they know I won't offer any. People really just need a safe place and some time to discover what they already know.

    Recently a dear friend called during a very hard day. She had made a parenting mistake. A parenting mistake is doing something opposed to what you believe is best for your children. I have a friend who is very health conscious and would call four frozen pizzas for dinner a horrible mistake, while I just call it dinner. Parenting mistakes are different for each mama. So when a friend tells me she made a mistake, I don't measure it against my beliefs and say: OH PUH-LEASE. THAT'S NOT A MISTAKE. I'll TELL YOU WHAT A MISTAKE IS, MISSY. Competing about who's the worst is as much of a drag as competing about who's the best.

    In this particular case, my friend had become tired and hopeless and spanked her child. She considered this a mistake, because she doesn't believe in spanking. Please, baby Jesus, let us not debate the spanking issue. It's a mistake for some and not for others. This particular friend, who is as precious as water in a desert, was devastated. She asked me for advice. I immediately switched that to a request for love.

    Then I told her what I do when I make a big or little parenting mistake, which is several hundred times a day.

    I try to remember two things:

    1. Who I am, and...

    2. My most important parenting job.

    First, I remember that I am a human being. And human beings make mistakes, almost constantly. We fall short of what we aim for, always. We get impatient. We get angry. We get selfish. We get freaking sick and tired of playing pet store. That's okay. It's just the way it is. Can't change it. Will always forevermore be. I'm human. Can't fight it. An elephant's gotta be an elephant and people gotta be people.

    Then I remember what my most important parenting job is. And that is to teach my children how to deal with being human. Because most likely, that's where they're headed. No matter what I do, they're headed toward being jacked-up humans faster than three brakeless railroad cars.

    There is really only one way to deal gracefully with being a jacked-up human, and that is this:
