Vicky Pattison, British reality star who lost weight, makes body shamers shut their dumb mouths with bikini selfie.

Revenge is best served cold, or fresh and on Instagram if you're British reality star Vicky Pattison. Pattison has lost weight a lot of weight since gaining fame on Geordie Shore in 2011. In the process, she's come to a happier place with her body, but she still regularly contends with Internet trolls according to MTV News UK. Pattison recently became particularly irked with commenters after they berated her for looking different in an Instagram of a photoshoot than in paparazzi pictures that snapped her in the same outfit. The offending image was a campaign shot for her Honeyz clothing line.

Pattison responded by sharing a side-by-side of a candid shot from the shoot with one of the publicity images. She also included a lengthy and strongly worded caption with some very good points.

I am slightly irritated with myself that I am having to do this but I've had a weekend full of abuse on Instagram and I'm not one to take things lying down... Especially when it's online trolling/bullying, body shaming or women hating on other women.

On the left here is an unedited, behind the scenes shot of me from my most recent @Honeyz shoot- on the right the final campaign shot. There are of course some small changes... Everything is tidied up, smoothed down or just made to the look it's best for a national campaign- but the difference as you can blatantly see is MINOR!!!! To criticise me, judge me and body shame me over a couple of bad pictures that I happen to have taken in this outfit by incessant photographers who at times want nothing more than an unflattering photograph of someone is petty, childish and disrespectful.

What bothers me most is that it's ignorant and hurtful and unfortunately seems to be mostly coming from other girls.

And I say 'girls' because girls compete and tear each other down... Yet women EMPOWER one another!!! Think carefully about which one you are as to quote @khloekardashian, this petty movement ain't cute.

Please think before you type, everyone has feelings and bitterness, jealousy, anger and cruelty are an inward blade... That curves into you and only hurts the person harbouring it.

Toodles.... And I hope you're all enjoying your Sunday!

Pattison has since made it clear on her Instagram that the haters won't stop her from taking pride in her body. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BCWQ-5gLu6u/?taken-by=vicky_gshore

"First selfie in my NEW HOME!!! Felt appropriate to do it half naked Aswell considering I'm on one about body confidence today!!!," she wrote on her bikini selfie, which came a few hours after her Insta-essay.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BCbL0D9Lu7L/?taken-by=vicky_gshore

Looking at this makes me feel so proud of how far I've come... This transformation was not easy and it did not happen overnight, and it is a constant battle to make the right decisions and stay motivated but if I can do it anyone can!!! 

Pattison's caption on her Instagram comparing the new bikini shot with an old one makes it quite clear that she's refusing to let anyone belittle the effort she's gone through. Also, she's advertising some nutritional stuff, because that's what "fit" Instagram people do.


Susan Sarandon's daughter Eva Amurri had to fire her nanny for sexting her husband.

Eva Amurri—Susan Sarandon's daughter, an actress, and the mommyblogger of "Happily Eva After"—wrote a rather salacious blog post yesterday about firing her nanny because of an "accidental" sext the babysitter sent to Amurri's husband. Gasp about that below, and also at the people who are given every possible advantage in life and still decide that they want to become mommybloggers.

Sarandon, left, and Amurri.

Apparently, Amurri's nanny accidentally sent the following text to the husband:

OMG. Girl, did I mention to you how hot and sex my Boss is.  I would love to fuck his brains out ha haah.  Too bad he seems not to like thick Latin women with lots to hold on to LOL.

Oh dear. Apparently, Amurri's husband began to suspect that the text wasn't sent accidentally when he saw the nanny looking at him from the window of his bedroom, where she wasn't allowed to go.

(According to Amurri, "at this point in Kyle’s story, the part of me who is the teenager who came of age in Brooklyn started bubbling up– and my hands started itching to take my earrings out and hold them while I got CRAZY." Girl, you are ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ACTRESS SUSAN SARANDON'S DAUGHTER. What part of Brooklyn do you expect readers to believe you're from?)

Amurri's husband then fired the nanny, who left right after a somewhat mortifying conversation. But Amurri still felt overwhelmed and betrayed by everything that occurred:

Clearly, that text was not a mistake.  If it had been a mistake, she would have been humiliated, so frantic to make it right (I’ve been there with mistaken texts, I know).  That text was sent out as a missive to test the proverbial waters with my husband and give her an opportunity later, when alone, to bring up a sexy dialogue with him.   Need more evidence? She sent it the only morning she had that his wife was out of town.  I felt a lot of things as I listened to this.  I felt anger, I felt pride in my husband for being so loyal (and smart) and handling it well, and I felt a huge betrayal also.  How dare this person, who we were paying very generously to care for our young daughter– how dare she use her time with my child, in my HOME, to plot out a way to screw my husband and screw up my family! It was beyond psychotic.  It was something that exemplified a truly broken person and that realization made me feel almost badly for her.  Almost.  It also made me grateful for my strong relationship with my husband.  I know that this happens all the time with different results.  The rumors of this type of thing are all over the tabloids all the time.  As I was thinking about this, I also realized something bone chilling:  I no longer had childcare.

Luckily, there's a happy ending: they're using "a little improvisation" to get through the next few childcare-free weeks. And bless their hearts—can you imagine having to raise kids without full-time help?

Celebrities pretty much always look good in photographs, even on those rare occasions when they aren't being Photoshopped. A lot of that is just due to the unfair lottery of genetics, but it's also because they're expert posers. Like, not in the Avril Lavigne​ sense, in the model sense. Luckily, celebrity stylist Lindsay Albanese can make anyone an expert poser with just a few tips. Steal her tricks and never be forced to untag yourself from a photo again!

Nickelodeon's 'Legends of the Hidden Temple' is coming back, but in a weird way that isn't as fun.

0

Brace yourselves, 90s kids. On Tuesday, Nickelodeon revealed that it's going to bring back one of its old game shows to television: Legends of the Hidden Temple. Sounds fantastic, right? It is...kinda.

Nickelodeon said they're going to turn the game show into a live-action TV movie, which means the reboot will probably be less exciting than the original show. Seriously, it was a blast to see a bunch of kids on different teams battling it out to retrieve treasures from a Mayan temple. Just when you thought you could achieve your dream of being a member of the Blue Barracudas squad... Well, that wouldn't have happened anyway because you're too old.

https://twitter.com/kevinpokeeffe/status/704705647523315713

Actress Isabela Moner will star in the Hidden Temple telepic. Moner portrayed CJ Martin in Nick’s 100 Things To Do Before High School. According to Pix11, the narrative will feature "three siblings [who] must conquer a series of obstacles to remain alive, mirroring the theme of the original game show.” 

https://twitter.com/javirodrimix/status/658116388100423680

Don't press between your eyebrows in disapproval just yet... Olmec the giant stone sculpture that talks and the Steps of Knowledge will still be featured in the movie. Is that enough though? C'mon Nickelodeon, think of the 90s children.

The real mom who Chris Rock beat in Girl Scout cookie sales at the Oscars ain't even mad.

0

While hosting the Oscars on Sunday, Chris Rock sold $65,243 worth of Girl Scout cookies to celebrities (including Vice President Joe Biden!) because his daughter Zahra asked "Daddy, how come we never sell the most cookies? How come Mrs. Dunn wins every year?"

"What do you want, a cookie? Seriously, I have boxes of cookies."

"It would mean so much to my little girl if we could beat Linda Dunn," he told the audience, not that Morgan Freeman needed any convincing

It was a cute, Ellen DeGeneres-like comedy bit from Rock, made even better because, apparently, Linda Dunn is a real mom in Rock's daughter's Girl Scout troop. The joke came as a shock to her, she told Access Hollywood, and she hadn't even been paying attention to the broadcast when it happened.

"All of a sudden my phone starts ringing. My email blows up," Dunn said. "Everyone is calling to say Chris Rock just threw down the gauntlet."

"That was a personal throwdown," she joked. "We have a fun rivalry. Selling cookies is fun."

She's not mad, which makes her more mature than most of the people actually at the ceremony. "90 million people watch the Oscars," said Dunn. "You can’t buy that type of publicity for the Girl Scouts. That was a wonderful thing that he did."

6 things that can supposedly wake you up just as well as coffee.

0
0

Cutting back on coffee is one of those things people often say they’re going to do, until they realize it’s really hard. It's difficult to give up caffeine because it gives you energy and also, it’s incredibly addictive. Nevertheless, if your heart is just beating too damn fast and you’re spending $30 a day at Starbucks, here are some alternatives to caffeine that may actually provide a similar kick, according to eggheads. Good luck.

1. Apples (the kind that keep the doctor away).

Doesn't taste one bit like Apple Jacks.

Sugar is caffeine for children, but like caffeine, too much of it is bad for everybody. An apple strikes a happy medium. There’s just enough sugar content to stabilize your blood sugar level—providing a feeling similar to a caffeine jolt—but not enough to create a huge blood sugar spike that will lead to an inevitable crash.


2. Cold water. So very very cold.

This is just really early coffee.

Many people are so dehydrated that a portion of coffee’s rejuvenating properties just result from getting some much-needed water into their systems. So, instead of coffee for an energy boost, you could drink a glass of water—very cold water—with ice in it. Water that cold shocks the body, increasing adrenaline production then blood flow to the brain—which is what caffeine does.


3. Essential oils, whatever those are.

Slightly less expensive than, well, coffee.

Think coffee is essential? These things have "essential" in their name. Rubbing a few drops of peppermint oil on your temples or just below your nose has been shown to provide a small recharge.


4. Poking yourself.

Slightly better than gas station coffee.

Some studies have shown that self-acupressure can wake you the hell up. This isn’t sticking needles into yourself—it refers to utilizing and hitting pressure points. These are the points to locate: the top of the head, top of the back of the neck (both sides), just below the ball of the foot, right under the center of the kneecap, and that flap on your hand where the thumb and index finger meet. Gently press down with a finger on each of these pressure points for three minutes each (or as many as you’ve got time for) and feel yourself emerge from the fog, probably.


5. Eating like the hippies eat.

Better than a steak and coffee combined.

You could probably stand to eat better anyway. Caffeine in coffee and energy drinks provide a temporary solution to a bigger problem: a lack of nutrients to keep you going all day. Experts say that eating more low-glycemic, high-fiber foods like quinoa and lentils will lessen your need for coffee.


6. Posing like a fish.

The energizing power of yoga.

The Matsyasana, or “fish,” is a yoga pose said to stimulate the body into a state of alertness and concentration. Here’s how to do it: lie flat on your back with your hands under your hips. While you do it, lift up your chest and slowly tilt your head back. Notice how much you feel like a fish.

Chrissy Teigen, currently pregnant with a female fetus, stopped by The Late Show to cook up some of her cravings with Stephen Colbert. While rolling up their summer rolls, the two talk about cooking and how John Legend's voice alone can get you pregnant, just before Teigen name-drops her friend Barack and shares her daughter's potential name with Stephen—and Stephen only.

The best reactions to Chris Christie’s horrible expression of regret as he stood behind Trump on Super Tuesday.

Donald Trump's Super Tuesday win yesterday may have been "yuge," but it was Chris Christie's face that truly won the night. On Friday, Christie, who dropped out of the presidential race earlier this month, stunned the country by endorsing his former rival Trump for the Republican nomination. Last night, after introducing Trump at his Super Tuesday press conference, he found himself trapped behind him during his speech, unable to hide from cameras the face of a man clearly praying for the sweet release of death but knowing the chances are slim. And yes, social media noticed.

Australian mom Haddas Ancliffe goes viral for her perfectly casual, perfectly public breastfeeding photo.

HaddasAncliffe, an Australian mother and blogger at Wholehearted Honey, went to her sister's wedding a few weeks ago where her makeup and outfit were on point. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BBgfHubH8WF/?taken-by=dahs

It wasn't the selfie highlighting her perfect cat eye that drew an influx of attention to her Instagram. It was this picture of her and her son Jonah having a sip at the wedding:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BBgbgzKH8e2/?taken-by=dahs

 Just me and my baby having a drink (Gotta do what you gotta do, wedding or not) #normalizebreastfeeding

The photo currently has around 3,000 likes, which is three times as many likes as most of her other pictures. Commenters are cheering for Ancliffe's public (and so casual) breastfeeding.

Ancliffe has posted an even more lovely though less public photo of breastfeeding before.

https://www.instagram.com/p/-S4Wa0H8Sx/?taken-by=dahs

You see those stretch marks on her stomach and those trendy Calvins? Ancliffe enjoys posting about both those things.

https://www.instagram.com/p/9uHL-zn8cf/?taken-by=dahs

I have bad days you know... Days where I look at myself and think, I'll never look like girls on Instagram in their calvins with amazing figures and smooth flat tummies. But I don't have days anymore where I want to tear off my skin or cry at my reflection. Gone are the days where I'd refuse to go out if I thought I looked bad or get mad at anyone who would compliment me. NOW most of my days I look at myself and I'm happy. My body isn't where I'd like it to be health/strength wise, my skin sees pimples daily and my hair is mostly in a frizzy bun but I'm beautiful none the less! I'm one of God's creations which in itself means I am beautiful, glorious even. I want to be real with everyone that's why I'm saying this, so you know I don't just have 100% confidence and no flaws. I am flawed, I'm not always confident but I am living and breathing and full of love so I have no reason to be down on myself. Same goes for all of you, whether you're a mommy or not, if you're alive you are nothing short of beautiful. #mycalvins P.S these bras are so good for breastfeeding

Aside from Ancliffe's insight into Calvins and her outlook on her self-image, Ancliffe gets real about her relationship with her husband, Oliver. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BBTXRtVH8T4/?taken-by=dahs

Jonah didn't want to be a part of this photo the other day but I promise we were all genuinely happy! Something I actually wanted to share about... You guys may have noticed I haven't been posting much lately and well that's because I haven't had much to post. I know some of you see our family as one to look up to or be encouraged by and I really value that so I want to be honest with you about us. Instagram is a place for me to share little highlights of my life, they are always genuine but it's not what my entire life looks like obviously. The past few months I've been very stressed and under a lot of pressure which has made for a not so pleasant or positive home life. I haven't been able to look at the beauty of my life while overwhelmed with the things that need to be fixed in it.. But hey I'm figuring it out! We've been going through a tough trial and learning as a family how to listen to God and communicate with each other. @oliverancliffe and I are a real couple with real problems and right now we're finding out real solutions. We are a strong and joyful family like you see on my page but we are also a family who is sometimes messy and frustrated. I wanted you to know that we're just like you or any other family so that when you look at Instagram and see pictures of those who seem perfectly happy you'll remember to be encouraged and not compare, because at the end of the day we're all learning how to do this thing. None of us have mastered life yet and we all have room to grow!
Thankfully we've come out the other side of it now and can show you more of our love but I wanted to make sure I was honest first You guys are so sweet to me and I want to always be real with you God bless x

Ancliffe's Instagram captions are way better than her photos, which is saying something because she's got a picture with an inflatable flamingo.

Just me, my cellulite and my flamingo it's good

Cellulite and flamingos go well together.

A behind-the-scenes video about the making of 'Game of Thrones' hints at what will happen in season 6.

On Monday, HBO posted a behind-the-scenes video from the making of Game of Thrones season 6 to keep salivating fans satisfied while they wait for the premiere on April 24. "The Best Seat in the House" features interviews with crew members and a sneak peek of what viewers will get to see in the new season, from the snowy landscapes surrounding the Nightfort to the deserts outside the city-state of Meereen. Take a look:

https://youtu.be/mmCYmgwPyAI

Some things to expect in season 6: A group of soldiers who might be the Sons of the Harpy are getting ready for battle, Jorah Mormont attempts to make some kind of valiant escape, and Tyrion Lannister, Jaime Lannister and Daario Naharis are all not dead for at least part of the season.

As for Jon Snow, the video doesn't clarify his fate, so you'll just have to keep using those prayer hand emojis. Two days ago, the BBC reported that there is a good chance that Snow is still alive based on something Emilia Clarke—who plays the lovely Daenerys Targaryen—did at the Spirit Awards.

Master impressionist Ross Marquand, who also happens to star on The Walking Dead, stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! and did the Sylvester Stallone acceptance speech we didn't get to see in real life. Marquand uncannily taps into celebrity voices, like Justin Timberlake's exasperated bro tone and Kevin Spacey's inherently condescending drawl.

Turn one of these impressions into a full-length biopic and Marquand has his Oscar on lock. 


People volunteered to Facebook stalk their exes on camera. They got really into it.

0

One of the great things about the Internet is that it makes keeping tabs (in the least creepy way possible) on exes that much easier. Apparently there are people out there who don't check in on what their former flames are up to that often, because BuzzFeed gathered a group of people who hadn't recently done so to Facebook stalk their exes. Once the floodgates were opened, the crew couldn't resist checking in on all their exes' social media. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t30pRGT9oFU

"This has confirmed my suspicions that we don't need to talk," is always a good thing to re-learn when casually perusing an ex's social media. Though being reminded that you dated an attractive person doesn't hurt either.

There's making an entrance, and then there's Alice, an unfathomably large drill who bursts into the party through several tons of concrete. This supremely satisfying video of a New Zealander tunnel boring machine finishing the job just might motivate you to keep plowing through the week.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Irevs1zNHJc

According to New Zealand's Newshub, Alice was named by a schoolboy who won a contest, takes 16 people to operate, and moves at a pace of eight centimeters per hour—a lot like you at work on a Wednesday afternoon.

Someone give that machine a nice cold beer (or a warm greasing, whatever machines prefer), Alice is certainly earning it.

On Friday, venture capitalist and apparent animal prank enthusiast Steve Jurvetson uploaded a video to YouTube of a real dog (Cosmo, who belongs to Andy Rubin, the founder of Android) freaking out over a robot dog ("Spot," who belongs to the fascinating robot/nightmare creature creating company, Boston Dynamics).

Is Cosmo threatening Spot? Talking trash? Playing? Trying to protect humans from the eventual robot uprising? We may never know.

Kanye's getting called out after posting a screenshot that reveals he had a torrent site open.

Uh-oh, Kanye West, known champion of paid music streaming service Tidal, just got busted for (maybe) trying to download software illegally from torrent site Pirate Bay.

https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/704873833564659712

Last night, Kanye tweeted a picture of his computer screen, presumably illustrating that he was listening to a Sufjan Stevens song on YouTube. But after taking a close look at the other websites Kanye had open on his computer in the picture, musician Deadmau5 deduced that Kanye was using Pirate Bay to illegally download Serum, a beat-making software program made by Xfer Records (a company which Deadmau5 co-founded).

Kanye had torrent site Pirate Bay open on his computer, searching for "Xfer."

Deadmau5 responded to the tweet, calling West out:

https://twitter.com/deadmau5/status/704876167157907456

West has complained about his finances recently, even going as far as asking Mark Zuckerberg for a billion dollars on Twitter. Deadmau5 joked that someone should start a Kickstarter to help Kanye afford the software, which retails for $189.

Mom sticks adult kid with bill for 13 months of expenses including room, board, and 'being an a**hole.'

0
0

Children are expensive, a fact that Reddit user Chalipo recently learned when mom served up a bill for 13 months of support. "This was a very effective parenting technique and it has helped me to realize what an entitled little shit I have been," wrote the offender. It's never too late to learn that nugget of truth.

It goes on.

As the top of the bill shows, the only charge extending beyond a 13-month scope is the hefty price of tuition and health insurance. 

The invoice details 14 charges Chalipo incurred, including "Being an asshole and not appreciative of your mothers support financially or otherwise." But the bill does acknowledge one small "contribution by child," so there's that.

The individual amounts add up pretty quickly, especially when factoring in the cost of "being an asshole," which ran this child $1,000. As to support from dad ("On account from spouse"), there was a total of zero dollars due.

Plus tax, the grand sum of Chalipo's 13-month bill was just shy of $40,000. 

Luckily for the tenant, this bill won't be due anytime soon. "My mom doesn't expect me to repay her. Her parents charged her interest [on school tuition] so she doesn't want to do that to me," wrote Chalipo, who is working part-time in addition to attending school full-time. "I hope to one day be successful enough to support my family and repay her but she doesn't expect me to," the student added.

That statement should credit Chalipo about $50 towards the "asshole" charge.
