Petition Started To Comb Blue Ivy’s Hair

As if there hasn’t been enough slander thrown at 2-year-old Carter cutie Blue Ivy and her parents over the appearance of her untamed mane in recent photos, an official petition has now been launched calling for ‘Yonce and daddy Hov to comb Blue’s hair.

Outspoken reality TV women aren’t the only ones to express their opinions about Blue’s hair. One upset spectator even started a petition on Change.org, urging the celebrity parents to groom their baby girl.

So, far 10 people have signed the petition launched by Jasmine Toliver of New York.

“As a woman who understands the importance of hair care. It’s disturbing to watch a child suffering from the lack of hair moisture. The parents of Blue Ivy. Sean Carter AKA Jay-Z and Beyonce has failed at numerous attempts of doing Blue Ivy Hair. This matter has escalated to the child developing matted dreads and lint balls. Please let’s get the word out to properly care for Blue Ivy hair,” reads the petition.

Kerry Washington Vaguely Acknowledges That She Had a Child

Kerry Washington gave birth so top-secretly in April that the world didn't even find out about it until two weeks after it had happened. Aside from one cryptic tweet about her "gratitude" on Mother's Day, the actress has not publicly discussed her first child, but in a new video interview with the Los Angeles Times, she did directly respond to one fan's question about how motherhood will affect her work. "So tricky because you know I don't talk about this stuff," she said. "I will say I feel really, really blessed. I just feel really blessed that I'm kind of living extraordinary dreams come true in my work life and in my personal life."

Well, it's no "Yes, I had a baby," but it's something. Olivia Pope would be proud.

This Spa Will Light Your Genitals on Fire

here's a new massage trend in China's Fujian province, and it does not sound relaxing.

It's called "huo liao," or fire therapy. Here's how it works, according to Kotaku: "A rope made from various herbs is placed on the patient's body and covered with plastic wrap. Then, two wet towels are placed over the wrap and the herbal coil. Alcohol is poured on the towels and then set ablaze."

It's not crotch-specific, but the pleasant effects (it creates a feeling of warmth — go figure) can be applied to your nether-regions as well as your back, shoulders, and other standard massage points. The technique originated in Tibet and eventually became a standard Chinese medicinal practice. It supposedly cures tons of ailments, from digestion issues to headaches.

And there's a bucket of water nearby if something goes south. Which is also not particularly relaxing or encouraging, but hey.

College That Kicked Out HIV-Positive Student Forced to Change

An unnamed student studying at Georgia's Gwinnett College was kicked out after the school deemed her a "safety hazard" for having HIV [via Project Q]. The school found out the student was HIV-positive when she applied (and was admitted to) their medical assistant program, and decided the student posed a health risk to others.

But when the student — obviously, and rightfully — filed a complaint with the U.S. Attorney's office, U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates investigated and felt the school was violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. The school cooperated with Yates's investigation and readmitted the student. They also paid $23,000 for tuition and damages. "Despite years of education regarding HIV and AIDS, many people still encounter discrimination based on the stigma of this disability," said Yates. "Our office will continue to devote resources to fight injustices for people with HIV."

Anna Kendrick Swears She Hasn't Been Hit On in 5 Years

Anna Kendrick, otherwise known as the celebrity BFF of your dreams, covers the July issue of Elle magazine. As expected, she looks beautiful, but she also said something pretty unexpected about her apparently nonexistent love life. Though she ended her relationship with director Edgar Wright in 2013, Kendrick told Elle that she "honest to God" hasn't been hit on since she starred in Up in the Air, the 2009 film for which she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Academy Awards. Yes, that movie came out nearly five years ago. Either Anna's been hanging out with some exceedingly respectful dudes, or every man she knows is an idiot. Continue...

"Pretty Little Liars" Recap:Welcome to the Murder Crew

What a wonderfully absurd start to the season.

Ezra is dying! Maybe!

Aria is freaking out! Definitely!

Alison spots A on the roof of the ambulance! Absurdly!

Welcome back, everyone. Your favorite Rosewoodians are still ramping up the drama to unbelievable levels, especially for people who should be worried about SATs and how to smoke a bowl without their parents finding out.

We’re still in New York City, and Ezra is still shot through like a practice target. Listen, I’m not crying any tears for Ezra the Pedophile Teacher — he’s always skeeved me out, and I don’t find his relationship with Aria or Alison touching in any way. I’m sorry you got shot, bro, but maybe stop hanging out with high school girls who are constantly investigating murder.

Will the real A please stand up?

A shot Ezra, but since A is a team of people, no one is sure who actually did it. Also, A is also still after Ali — no one is safe!

Question before we continue: Did you cackle when, while making plans to divide and conquer, Ali said, “There’s no art to this war”? Spencer was impressed that she’d read Sun Tzu but all she really had to do was read the title ("The Art of War") to pull out that nugget.  

Who are the suspects?

Alison watched A hitch a ride to the hospital on the top of the ambulance, Teen Wolf-style, so the Liars developed a plan to distract A. It sort of worked — they lured A to a desolate park — but A flipped the script by calling out a legion of hooded, masked compatriots so you couldn’t tell which one was really A. Who are the suspects?

Melissa is back, but she’s not really a suspect. She might be part of the Alliance (see next paragraph), but she’s too busy watching her dad drink himself to death while they both avoid telling mom what they know about the murdered girl in Alie’s grave. They have enough to stress out about!

Mona got a gang of Alison’s enemies together, and "Pigskin, Puss Face, Whore, and Hermey" are sticking together this time to settle the score. I'm not even sure yet what Mona's doing, but with her history of pain, it can’t be good. When Melissa showed up to the meeting, I gasped; what does she stand to gain by being part of Mona’s crew? And Lucas has been a prime A suspect for so long, it’s surprising that he’s making himself so visible by even getting involved.

Alison helped pull CeCe from the suspect list when she told the girls that CeCe probably saved Spencer’s life, and killed a cop to protect her. CeCe is off the hook and getting out of dodge; we last see her boarding a plane to France wearing sunglasses and a giant hat, using Noel’s getaway package and Alie’s passport to move along. I’m totally cool with this; CeCe worked when the Red Coats were happening and having a doppelganger was crucial to the plot, but now that Alison is back with the Liars, CeCe’s just going to wear out her usefulness. Have fun pounding croissants and throwing macarons from the top of the Eiffel Tower, girl.

Emily, No!

The girls are no strangers to putting themselves in the most precarious situations, and they never seem to learn from it. (Remember the first season, when Emily practically skipped into every single dark room or suspicious situation?) When Alison ran into the park and tried to corner A, it was a definite “Emily, no!” moment. But the real kicker came when they decided to hide out at the theater to protect Alison from A.

Fitz’s family owns the theater; he took Allie there once and she’s crashed there a few times. First of all, they rolled into the place without checking to see if anyone else was in there. (Emily, no!) You have to know better by now that when you are legit being hunted, your first step is to secure the premises.

Instead, they all raid the concession stand and fall asleep. Like, not even one of you is going to stay awake and take turns being on watch? (Emily, no!) You need a sentinel! And someone is in the theater — CeCe, who needs Alie’s help getting out of dodge. If CeCe can just waltz in there, couldn’t anyone?

Aria isn’t doing much better on her own in the hospital. Why are you alone? (Emily, no!) She’s pissed when Shana shows up — Shana says Alison sent her to make sure Aria's OK — but then Aria just falls asleep in a chair while Shana sneaks into Fitz’s room. (Emily, no!) Do what you have to do and stay alert — you didn’t have a police detail put on him for nothing! He wakes up as soon as Aria walks into the room (of course), and then freaks out. When she goes back to him a second time, he whispers something in her ear, presumably the identity of A (or one of the A's), now that he knows.

Aria calls the rest of the Liars but has trouble connecting with them (probably because you shouldn’t be using a cell phone in a hospital), and only hears Alie tell her to call the theater’s main line. Holbrook, who has been painstakingly putting clues together all episode long, chooses that exact moment to put two and two together and call the theater once he realizes Fitz is one of the Fitzgeralds, and he recognizes Alie when she picks up.

Now it’s a race to the finish: Holbrook calls the NYPD to descend upon the theater, and Aria is trying to get to them to warn them about what Ezra said, which is that A is Shana.

A, or at least the A that shot Fitz, is Shana!

Shana is already at the theater. The lights go off and she appears on stage with a gun and a hoodie. Alison is pissed because she trusted her, and insists this is just justice for Jenna, who Shana is in love with. Surprisingly, Aria is the one to save the day by sneaking up on Shana, hitting the gun out of her hand, and knocking her to the ground where she cracks her head open and dies. Congratulations, Aria! Welcome to the murder crew.

This is going to be a fun season; I still don’t know who the Big A is, and I’m dying to know what Mona is cooking up. See you next week!

Woman Catfishes Her Niece, Discovers Murder Plot Against the Whole Family

Marissa Williams, a 19-year-old girl living with her aunt's family in Fosters, Alabama, was charged with solicitation of murder after asking a fictional man she met online to shoot her aunt and take her away (via Al.com). Williams's aunt initially made up the catfisher persona, a man named Tre "Topdog" Ellis, to find out more about her niece's interactions with Internet strangers. Williams had been inviting them over to the house, and her aunt was concerned about safety issues.

During their first conversation, Williams allegedly asked Ellis to come over to her house and get drunk with her. She also reportedly offered to have sex with him if he paid her $50 cell phone bill. A few days later, she allegedly asked Ellis to kidnap her and take her away from her aunt's house — if her aunt tried to stop them, Williams told him to shoot her.

The plans became more real (and violent) as days went on. She allegedly told Ellis how to get into the bedroom of her aunt and her aunt's fiancé and shoot them, as well as her cousin and the family dog, while she packed her things to leave. When her aunt read what Williams was planning, she called the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office and they arrested Williams. She admitted to the plot, but says she didn't mean for anyone to actually be killed.

Who's he fooling? - James Franco Says Sure, He Once Read Lindsay Lohan Bedtime Stories, but They Didn't Have Sex

InTouch magazine published a series of stories listing Lindsay Lohan's celebrity conquests a few months back, after getting hold of a sex list she'd allegedly written. (Blame BuzzFeed.) During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen back in April, Lindsay confirmed the list's legitimacy, explaining she'd written it as part of a rehab program. Though named as one of her partners, James Franco denied having sex with Lohan, instead saying they maybe made out once when they both lived for a while in swanky Los Angeles hotel Chateau Marmont, but that was all. He also called her delusional, which seems a bit rude, really.

And Franco has now written a very thinly veiled account of their time together that heady LA summer, in a short story called Bungalow 89. It's part of a new fiction issue of Vice magazine, though it reads less as fiction and more like "fiction," like The Devil Wears Prada — just about celebrity sexytimes instead of fashion magazines.

Of course, it's a James Franco piece, so it's also peppered with lots of humblebrag asides about his famous friends, and meandering paragraphs meant to prove he's so far above Hollywood's overindulgent hoopla that he's, well, on another planet. (Sure, he'll come along to your A-list parties, but only because they offer good material for his journal.) All this stuff is much less interesting than the sections about LiLo anyway, though — the Lohan narrative appears to be one shorter story spread throughout the larger piece, recounting their one night of their coupling that's, again, sans copulation. Here's how it all goes:

First, Lindsay tries to break into James's room like it's no big deal:

"There was a Hollywood girl staying at Chateau Marmont. She had gotten a key to my room from the manager. I heard her put the key into my front door and turn it, but I had slid the dead bolt and that thing — I don’t know what you call it; it’s like a chain but made of two bars — that kept the door from opening.

"She said, 'James, open the door.'"

But that doesn't work, so she just calls his room instead. James picks up, and their conversation goes as follows:

“'I just want to sleep on your couch. I’m lonely.'

"'We’re not going to have sex. If you want to come in, I’ll read you a story.'

"'A bedtime story?'"

Then she's back outside James's room. This time, she knocks:

"She was in her pajamas. She had bare feet."

And maybe Franco's telling a story within a story, or maybe he really did read Lindsay J. D. Salinger stories in bed:

"Once upon a time a guy, a Hollywood guy, read some Salinger to a young woman who hadn’t read him before. Let’s call this girl Lindsay. She was a Hollywood girl, but a damaged one. I knew that she would like Salinger, because most young women do. I read her two of the Nine Stories, 'A Perfect Day for Bananafish' and 'For Esmé — with Love and Squalor.' 'Bananafish' was great because it has a nagging mother on the other end of the phone line, nothing like Lindsay’s real mother, but still, the mother-daughter thing was good for her to hear."

No sex, remember!

"Now we were lying in bed. I wasn’t going to fuck her. She had her head on my shoulder. She started to talk. I let her."

Though they do sleep together, and it's poignant:

"I ran my fingers through her hair and thought about this girl sleeping on my chest, our fictional Hollywood girl, Lindsay. What will she do? I hope she gets better. You see, she is famous. She was famous because she was a talented child actress, and now she’s famous because she gets into trouble. She is damaged. For a while, after her high hellion days, she couldn’t get work because she couldn’t get insured. They thought she would run off the sets to party. Her career suffered, and she started getting arrested (stealing, DUIs, car accidents, other things). But the arrests, even as they added up, were never going to be an emotional bottom for her, because she got just as much attention for them as she used to get for her film performances. She would get money offers for her jailhouse memoirs, crazy offers. So how would she ever stop the craziness when the response to her work and the response to her life had converged into one? Two kinds of performance, in film and in life, had melted into one."

That last line about the "two kinds of performance" seems to sum up Franco's story-within-a-story. You should read "Bungalow 98" in full over at Vice, mostly to see if you can make sense of it. Because I'm still not sure.

People aint shit! - Doctor Suspended for Allegedly Sexting During Surgery

Surgery is already rife with risks — infections, procedural slip-ups, and complications from anesthesia. But dozens of patients of one Seattle physician were subjected to another kind of danger: sexting.

Um, yeah.

Seattle anesthesiologist Arthur K. Zilberstein has been suspended for allegedly sending more than 250 lewd text messages — including photos of his exposed genitals — during surgical procedures on patients, including children.

During procedures ranging from Cesarean deliveries to heart surgery, Zilberstein “compromised patient safety due to his preoccupation with sexual matters” during April through August 2013 — at least — according to a statement issued by the Washington State Department of Health.

Some examples of his alleged offenses:

During a Cesarean delivery, he exchanged 18 text messages with sexual innuendo. During another Cesarean on the same day, one of his messages read, “I’m hella busy with C-sections.”

During another delivery, he asked his girlfriend to come the hospital — promising to get her free parking at the hospital.

While on duty as the anesthesiologist for a cardiac probe insertion, he exchanged 26 sexually explicit text messages over the course of three hours.

He sent photos of himself to a patient, with whom he had sexual relations, while wearing his scrubs and with his genitals exposed.

He issued at least 29 unauthorized prescriptions for controlled substances to patients, including at least one patient with whom he had sexual relations. Records state he failed to obtain proper patient consent or prescribe necessary treatment plans.

To one patient alone, he issued 14 prescriptions for a total of more than 2,000 milligrams of oxycodone hydrochloride, which is a controlled substance.

He confiscated medical records and patient images to use for sexual gratification.

He made racist and disparaging remarks to at least one patient.

Zilberstein will not be allowed to practice medicine in Washington until these charges are resolved. He has 20 days to respond and request a hearing.

Chris Brown Professes His Love For Karrueche Again In Heartfelt Speech & Hits The Studio.

Chris is enjoying his newfound freedom after being released from a Los Angeles county jail on June 2. His girlfriend and ride-or-die chick for life, Karrueche Tran, pulled out all the stops for Breezy on June 5, throwing him a bomb surprise birthday BBQ.

We’re told Chris was completely shocked and grateful that Kae went so far out of her way to make him happy.

“I just want to thank everybody for coming out you know, I wasn’t expecting all this for real,” Chris gracefully explained to his guests at the party.

“This made my day and I just really want to express how much I love everybody in here and especially my girl Karrueche who’s just, my everything.

I love you babe, so much, I love you.”
