Matt Roloff Wishes Ex-Wife Happy Birthday, Stuns Critics
Matt Roloff has a message for everyone who thinks he and his ex-wife are in an ugly feud.
And he also has a message for that ex-wife herself.
In an Instagram caption that likely came as a shock to some people who believe everything they read online, the Little Poeple, Big World star wished Amy Roloff a happy birthday.
For real!
This really happened, despite critics around the Web often writing that Amy and Matt asre engaged in some kind of rivalry.
“A very Happy Birthday to both Amy and Molly who share the exact same big day. I hope you both have a wonderful amazing Day!!” Matt wrote alongside the image above, which features himself and his daughter.
The reality star included a cake emoji and a balloon emoji and some other emojis along with this caption as well.
Matt and Amy filed for divorce in the spring of 2016, many months after they separated.
They still run Roloff Farm together and they still anchor Little People, Big World together and they still get along pretty darn well, if you ask us.
However, there’s understandable tension at times because Amy is dating Chris Marek and Matt is dating Caryn Chandler and the paths of these couples often cross.
But we challenge anyone reading this to find any negative remarks out there from either Matt in Amy’s direction or vice versa.
Just because Matt didn’t actually celebrate Amy’s birthday this past weekend certainly doesn’t mean anything.
She was taken out to dinner by Marek and it would have been fairly awkward if her ex-husband had tagged along.
For whatever reason, though, many social media users leave critical comments on Matt’s page any time he references Caryn; or on Amy’s page any time she references Chris.
We asked a few weeks ago why fans are so obsessed with stirring up controversy when there is none, considering how smoothly Amy and Matt have continued to run their business in the wake of their divorce.
Moreover, all four of the Roloff children seem totally accepting of these new romantic entanglements.
So why can’t fans of their TLC show also go along for the ride?
For the record, this is what Amy and Matt said in their statement at the time of their official split:
After 27 years of marriage, it is with great sadness that we have come to the difficult decision to file for divorce.
We are proud of what we have accomplished together, including raising our four wonderful children, who have grown to become remarkable adults and building our strong and ongoing successful businesses.
Our kids and our ever-growing family, and the love and support we have for them, will be our priority. We will continue to work together side-by-side in the daily responsibilities for our many current ventures.
We would like to thank our family, friends, and all our fans for their continued support and understanding during this difficult time.
Unlike many other celebrities who break up, they’ve actually managed to stand by these words and keep their family nice and close.
Well done, you two.
And happy birthday, Amy and Molly!

Hailey Baldwin Cozies Up to Justin Bieber in New Photo, Silences Critics
Rumor has it that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are abstaining from sex until marriage, but this affectionate new photo tells a different story.
Unlike Justin, Hailey has been somewhat shy about sharing pics of her fiance on Instagram.
That makes this cozy image a rare treat for fans. Take a look:
Over the weekend, Hailey Baldwin shared this tender photo of her snuggling up with her fiance, Justin Bieber.
“Absolute best friend,” Hailey wrote in the captions.
Interestingly, she turned of comments for the photo.
Though Hailey has no shortage of fans and admirers, a number of her followers are horrified by her engagement and worry that she is making a decision that she will live to regret.
Thinking that is fine. Total strangers writing that on her Instagram is annoying. We totally understand why she’s not taking comments from randos.
This is actually only the second photo of Justin that Hailey has on her Instagram page since the date of their engagement.
Justin has shared several photos of the two of them together since news broke that he’d popped the question.
Hailey has given fans only one glimpse of the two of them together — a snapshot of them boarding a private plane together.
Justin’s face wasn’t even visible.
In contrast, look at the kind of content that Justin has been posting all over Instagram:
Reports claim that Justin Bieber always knew that Hailey was the girl for him, even when he was once again dating Selena Gomez.
He is also the one who surprised Hailey — in public — by popping the question, just a short while after they’d started dating again.
So it is possible that she is less enthusiastic about her life’s sudden new direction and is still coming to terms with the reality of her engagement.
That said, it’s possible that she’s unsure about posting PDA-filled pics on the Instagram page where her fans and her notoriously awful father, Stephen Baldwin, will see it.
He probably already gives her enough grief over her modeling career. Maybe even worse than whjat her cousin Ireland Baldwin has to put up with.
Whether or not Justin and Hailey are equally jazzed — which is pure speculation — it sounds like they’re lightly tapping the brakes on things to slow down this whirlwind engagement.
According to reports, the two are still very much in love and looking forward to their wedding … but aren’t rushing to the altar.
They’re said to be enjoying the significance of the engagement on its own, a symbol of their deep commitment to each other.
That said, apparently fans should not misread this as second thoughts or hesitation about their looming nuptials.
They’re just very much in love and taking their time.
That said, not everyone is wholly convinced that this lovely couple is going to be a couple for all that long, let alone actually tie the knot.
In fact, there’s some playful debate about who’s more likely to actually wed between Justin and Hailey and Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson.
Some worry that Justin just reused the same tactics on Hailey that he had just used on Selena, right down to the same kinds of dates at the same church.
We all saw how that worked out — Justin and Selena broke up again after that blew up in his face.
Will his attempts with Hailey blow up in his face, too? Or are these two really well-suited enough for each other that they make to to their wedding day?
Only time will tell.

Jill Duggar Bribes Son With Candy, Gets Slammed By Critics
Not a week goes by without Jill Duggar getting slammed for her parenting methods by people who seem to detest her, yet continue to follow her on social media.
It"s a curious phenomenon made even more curious by the fact that Jill gets roasted even when she"s demonstrating top-notch parenting skills.
Case in point, Jill is homeschooling her kids, and it seems that even in summer (and even though her eldest is only 3) she remains committed to teaching them the basics at a young age.
And she"s not just winging it or relying on her own maternal instincts.
As evidenced by the video above, Jill has done her research.
She admits she"s no expert, but says she"d like to share her experiences with a handful of educational tools for the benefit of other parents who might be homeschooling their kids.
And naturally, this led to Jill being roasted so hard the Duggars opted to disable comments on her latest YouTube video.
"I"m no professional at all but this is just what we"ve enjoyed and Israel loves school right now, so we"re trying to just keep him busy with that," Jill said in the clip that apparently left some fans in a seething rage.
"And it"s fun," she added.
Seems innocent enough, but fans went off on Jill for everything from keeping her child out of school to using candy as an incentive.
Look, we know for some people the Duggars can do no right and their first instinct when they see any member of the family is to start hurling criticism.
It"s understandable, but it"s still dumb as hell.
Josh Duggar is a molester and Jim Bob and Michelle might be cult leaders, it"s true.
But Jill and her her sisters are victims in this case, and even when we side-eye their behavior (whihc is very often), we try to keep that in mind.
At best, the Duggar kids are sheltered, and at worst, their traumatized.
Something to keep in mind next time you feel like raking one of them over the coals for giving their kids candy.

Parents Teach Kids to Pole Dance, Defy Critics (And Decency)
You know what they say, right?
The family that pole dances together stays together.
This is what Jake Night and Lindsey Teall, residents of of St. Louis, believe, at least.
The couple has made headlines for the rather unusual workout routine it is teaching its kids.
What possible reason would a mother and a father have for raising a family full of stripping pole dancers?
It all goes back to how they met and it goes from there…
1. Their Past Served as Their Prologue
Jake and Lindsey met when both were working as exotic dancers. They have a love and a passion for this near-naked activity.
2. A Family of Five
The couple has decided to pass along this pastime to its kids: Aiden, 11, Lindsey’s son from her first marriage; and their two daughters, Alaura, 5, and 3-year-old Rosalyn.
3. Their Pole Position?
The parents have installment a stripper pole in their living room. We’d love to see how guests react to that, right?!?
4. Let’s Play, Kids!
Jake considers pole dancing a sport and told The Daily Mail: “We have dealt with a lot of negative comments, I can’t even count, thousands upon thousands upon thousands. We’ve heard some pretty horrific things, they were going to hunt us down and kill us and take our children. The naysayers, the haters and everybody like that just makes us, as parents, more protective of them.”
5. But Aren’t the Kids Just Strippers Now?
No, insists Lindsey: “”This is a legitimate sport. A lot of people, you just can’t change their opinion. We’re living our most authentic life, sometimes people don’t like that; they want you to be like everybody else… Pole dance is taking a new route, it’s evolving into a sport, into an art.”
6. A Sport?!?
There is such a thing out there as this: THE INTERNATIONAL POLE CONVENTION, also commonly known as PoleCon. Per its official website, this competition “celebrates the diversity of the pole dance/pole fitness community. Come to learn, share and grow with men and women of all shapes, sizes, ages, ethnicities and fitness levels then stay for the community. #poleconisforeveryone.”

90 Day Fiance: Russ Mayfield SLAMS "Benighted" Critics of Paola
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star Russ Mayfield has had it up to here with so-called fans who want to shame his marriage.
Recently, Paola Mayfield clarified that she’s still with Russ, and she really let some followers have it for their negative takes on their relationship and on her career.
Now, Russ is following in her footsteps and telling followers exactly how he feels about their unsolicited commentary.
Russ begins: “There’s much more to me than what you see on tv.”
That is usually the case! Reality television works through intelligible, often simple, storylines.
The presence of cameras alone is going to impact a narrative, and editing does the rest.
“I’m honestly not the jealous type,” Russ insists.
He is famously uncomfortable with Pao’s modeling work.
Russ does admit: “I’d had preferred to keep my wife’s curves a mystery, especially when it comes to the lusting creeps out there.”
That last part sounds more like he’s protective of her.
Admittedly, the bit about her mysterious curves sounds more like guarding her jealously, though.
“I accept and am proud of my wife for the beautiful woman she is,” Russ continues.
Good for him. And for her.
Russ makes it clear that he has no doubts of her fidelity, saying: “And she’s all mine”
“But like most relationships,” Russ says. “We find ourselves with differing opinions at times and love costs and takes effort for it to work.”
That is why they argue. Many couples argue, unfortunately.
“I am tired of the comments from the marriage “experts” stating I deserve better, my wife doesn’t respect me, or she only loves me for my money and so on and so forth,” Russ says.
Russ goes on to remind followers that 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? cannot, by its very nature, show the whole story of his marriage.
“The mere glimpse of our lives shown doesn’t always show our best moments,” Russ writes.
What viewers see, Russ says, are “but impressions and expressions from our cultural differences and how we are coming together as an even stronger couple.”
That’s a beautiful and powerful story! It’s just not the whole story.
“If I or my story bores you and creating a mocking meme or mocking comment of me and/or my wife is how you make yourself feel better about your unshared and perfect life,” he says.
To those people, Russ says: “well thank you for your benightedness as it only spices us up even more.”
Yes, Russ wrote “benightedness” unironically. His diction in the post is very goofy at times.
“So go on,” Russ says. “And keep hating and commenting to better your dull lives because your opinions are meaningless in my eyes.”
That’s an understandable point of view, but perhaps not polite. But he wasn’t really trying to be.
“But you’re only hurting yourself hiding behind your keyboard,” Russ warns. “Which proves nothing to you or me.”
That’s true for every troll.
“Especially when I have yet to meet someone to end a conversation with me with such nescience and mockery,” Russ says.
Again, his vocabulary is absolutely correct but does not quite match the intended tone of his post. The results are worth a chuckle or two.
“I am proud of where I come from,” writes the Oklahoma native. “And where I am going and that’s with the love of my life.”
That is very precious.
Russ reminds followers that Paola is his wife, “whom I love for better or for worse.”
For better, surely.
“I am not perfect,” Russ admits. “And only look for support from my followers, not hypocritical and judgmental ignorance seeking ‘like’ attention.”
If he wanted marital advise, he’d probably go elsewhere than social media.
It’s interesting that Russ singles out the people who shame Paola and think that Russ is the good guy when the couple argues.
We so often see people shaming Russ for being (seemingly, on camera) insecure about his wife’s modeling work.
But sometimes it is easier to see yourself get hate than it is to see people say negative things about someone whom you love.
That is, perhaps, why he was lashing out at those who speak ill of his beautiful and talented wife.

Khloe Kardashian Tells Workout Critics to Shut the Eff Up
Khloe Kardashian isn’t just hitting the gym very hard these days.
She’s also hitting back against critics who have a problem with this.
And there are PLENTY of those critics.
Just like all her sisters before her after that had babies, Khloe has made a public showing out of her insatiable desire to get back in the gym and shed all those pesky pregnancy pounds.
She recently grossed herself out by looking at her own huge butt, writing on her official app:
“When I saw myself in those first post-pregnancy paparazzi photos, I couldn’t believe how big my booty looked! I can’t wait to tone up again and get my body back to where it was.”
That remark was made earlier in May, and it appears as if Khloe is truly dedicated to this weight-loss mission.
Just about a month after giving birth to True Thompson, Kardashian updated fans on her workout status yesterday, making it clear that she’s pounding the weights just like boyfriend Tristan pounded a bunch of Instagram models last year.
“The beginning parts of working out kind of suck because you’re pushing your body so hard, you’re so tired. It’s much more difficult than you expect it to be,” the 33-year-old wrotes yesterday on Snapchat.
Khloe included the above photo of her stomach with this message and added
“I’ve been working out for 11 days now, I feel really good, but tired. My body is sore because it’s re-waking itself back up.”
This may be great for Khloe self-esteem and self-confidence.
But the workouts are not terrific for her reputation.
A bunch of social media users have taken the new mother to task for focusing so very much on burning calories and putting on muscle so soon after becoming a parent.
And Khloe is well aware of this criticism.
This is what she said about it last night:
What I’m annoyed about is I’ve read a couple of times on Twitter that they feel that I’m focusing too much on my body, but the truth is, I’ve worked out five or six days a week before I got pregnant and that’s my sanctuary and something I love to do.
I want to start doing that now and get back to my rhythm and in between feedings I want to find time to work out because that’s going to be my new normal.
A couple thoughts on this:
First, Khloe did say many years ago that going to the gym helped her feel better about her divorce from Lamar Odom.
Amidst the unfortunate news that Tristan Thompson has been cheating on her left and right, it’s very understandable that Khloe would once again seek peace and solitude and distraction in a workout routine.
Second, though, is the clarification that folks are not upset at Khloe for working out a lot.
That would be silly. It’s totally her business.
What’s irritating is how she (and Kylie and Kim and Kourtney before her) all talked incessantly to their fans and followers about how they just NEED to lose as much weight as quickly as possible now that they are no longer pregnant.
This attitude sets an unhealthy and unrealistic example for other women.
They don’t have personal chefs at home. They don’t have personal trainers. They don’t have the luxuries these new and very rich mothers can afford.
If Khloe feels better about herself in the gym, by all means, she should keep going to the gym.
She should just stop talking about it so much out of respect for other women who may have different priorities and who definitely have other lifestyles.

Miley Cyrus Retracts Nude Photo Apology, Curses Off Critics
At this stage of her life and career, Miley Cyrus can simulate oral sex on a carrot and spank the Easter Bunny and pretty much no one cares.
That’s just how the singer rolls sometimes.
But let’s take a trip back to 2008, shall we?
A full decade ago, photographer Annie Leibovitz shot a then-15-year-old Miley for Vanity Fair.
And forget Kim Kardashian sticking her butt out in order to rest a glass of champagne on it, THIS picture nearly broke the Internet, considering it featured a very young Cyrus naked.
She was covered by a sheet, but she was fully naked underneath said sheet.
For someone not yet old enough to drive, and someone mostly known at that point for starring on The Disney Channel, this was a jarring image.
See it for yourself below:
And we know what you must be thinking right now:
What? Huh? That picture caused controversy?!?
Cyrus has gotten nude quite a few times since!
It’s true, we know.
But this was 2008. The world was not ready to see Cyrus in such brazen fashion, especially not a 15-year old Cyrus.
“I had a big blanket on. And I thought, ‘This looks pretty, and really natural,"” she told the magazine at the time. “I think it’s really artsy.”
Later on, however, once the backlash really grew intense, Miley issued a different kind of statement.
She said the following as a Mea Culpa:
My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy.
For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed.
I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.
In a separate statement, Leibovitz said:
“I’m sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted. Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it… I think it is very beautiful.”
So of all that provides context to Miley’s latest Tweet, which she wrote 10 years after this scandal exploded and which explains how she now feels about the topic:
Including the front page of The New York Post from April 2008, under the headline “MILEY’S SHAME,” Cyrus has retracted the above apology.
“IM NOT SORRY. F–k YOU. #10yearsago,” she wrote.
Cyrus Miley had last addressed the scandalous shoot in 2015.
“Our world revolves around sex. Like, when I did this photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz when I was 14 or 15, everyone jumped to make it this sexual thing,” she told Time Magazine, adding:
“But I never thought of it as sexual. Annie never thought of taking a sexual photo of a teenager. But everyone made it something it wasn’t.”
All these years later, we do understand a lot of the criticism this snapshot produced.
Miley was just so young and the world was not ready to see her as anything but Hannah Montana, let alone as someone willing to pose in such a manner.
But now that we’ve seen what Miley does with a foam finger?
It’s safe to say we’ve been seeing Cyrus in a brand new light for awhile now and we’re very used to it and very cool with it.

Jill Duggar Launches Midwife Company; Critics Say She"s Putting Lives at Risk
Typically, Duggar women aren’t permitted to seek employment outside the home, but an exception has been made in the case of Jill Duggar.
There are two reasons for this:
For one thing, Derick Dillard was recently fired by TLC after launching a transphobic tirade against fellow network star Jazz Jennings.
For reasons that defy explanation, Jill Duggar then quit Counting On, possibly as a show of solidarity with her husband.
Needless to say, there’s not a whole lot of cash pouring into the Dillard household these days, and fans were quick chastise the couple for the fact that they were both out of work, despite having two young sons to raise.
On top of all that, Jill’s decision to enter the workforce has been accepted by her husband and father as a result of the nature of the business venture she recently launched.
Put simply, in the eyes of Jim Bob and Derick, it’s woman’s work.
You see, Jill is a midwife, and as such, she’s decided to launch a her own business – an in-home service with the somewhat confusing name of Labor Sit.
While it’s nice to see Jill breaking with her family’s ridiculously outmoded tradtions and join life in the 21st century, her choice has not been without controversy.
When we said “Jill is a midwife,” perhaps have clarified that Jill considers herself a midwife.
According to her critics, Jill has not been properly trained for the job, and thus, she puts lives at stake everytime she puts on a hairnet and calls for some boiling water, or however midwives get ready to do their thing.
For several years, Jill didn’t practice at all.
This was probably the result of accusations that she faked her certification and was in no way qualified to perform the work for which she was being paid.
Jill’s lack of training is certainly cause for concern, but as is often the case with this sort of thing, the critics are slightly exaggerating.
Jill has received a certification, but it’s just not from an organization that anyone takes seriously.
Generally, midwives are granted a Certified Nurse Midwife certification, which requires a 4-year bachelor’s degree one year of nursing experience, and three years in a nurse-midwifery program.
Obviously, Jill has none of those qualifications, and so she received a Certified Professional Midwife’s license, which as far as we can tell, requires that the recipient be willing to write a check.
Add to that the fact that Jill has already earned a reputation for sketchy business practices during her very brief time in the field, and it’s not hard to see why so many think she quit while she’s only somewhat behind.
Jill’s midwife mentor had her license revoked and was forced to move out of state after she was sued by a mother who says she nearly died due to professional negligence.
Insiders say Jill was present for the botched birth, but thus far, there’s no evidence to that effect.
All of this bad news comes at a time when the Dillards are ramping up their social media presence, presumably in an effort to promote Jill’s new business.
Of course, some fans think the couple has simply been simply missing the spotlight in the months since Derick got canned.
Whatever the case, he and Jill may soon want to lie low again.
We sense another Duggar scandal coming.

Khloe Kardashian to Critics: Mind Your Own Bee"s Wax!
Khloe Kardashian has spoken out for the third time since giving birth.
The first time the reality star did so, of course, she shared her unique baby name with the world.
You remember, right?
Wrote Kardashian on Instagram a few days after becoming a first-time mother:
“Our little girl, True Thompson, has completely stolen our hearts and we are overwhelmed with LOVE.
“Such a blessing to welcome this angel into the family! Mommy and Daddy loooooove you True!”
The Internet reacted in two ways to this message:
- You named your child True?!?
- You’re sticking with Tristan Thompson it sounds like?
The answers to these questions are: Yes and… it remains unknown and/or undecided.
Then, a few days after this, Khloe spoke out again.
No, she did not address the elephant in the room; by which we mean the fact that Thompson has clearly been cheating on her for months.
Instead, she praised her sisters as role models.
“It’s so comforting to know that I have sisters whom I can ask about anything that may come up,” Khloe wrote on her website, referencing the fact that both Kim and Kourtney have three kids.
(Heck, even Kylie Jenner now hasa child.)
She went on to add:
“My sisters are all such phenomenal moms! I can’t say exactly what advice or skills I’ll be taking from them, but I’m going to remain awe-inspired by how they can handle it all.
“I hope that comes easily for me.”
Any mother could use assistance from those that have been there.
But especially a new mother whose baby daddy was out sliding into the DMs of other women while she was pregnant.
No way will Thompson be any real help going forward.
So this now brings us to message number-three.
On Monday, Khloe wrote against on her official app, and she again gave a shout-out to her loved ones.
“I genuinely wish for all of my siblings that they find everlasting happiness in all that they do!” Khloe said, concluding:
Life is short, and at times, we put so many others before us, but one of our priorities should be our own happiness.
Once you have that, it trickles down to everyone around us. I sincerely wish happiness and peace to my sisters and brother.
This is an intriguing message to try and interpret.
On one hand… Khloe could truly and simply be sending well wishes to Kim, Kourtney, Kylie, Kendall and Rob.
On the other… she could be saying she’s staying with Thompson and critics of her decision can just suck it because all that ought to matter is one’s own happiness.
And on still another… she could be saying she’s leaving Thompson because, while it would be great to have two parents around for True, she must focus on her own well-being and that clearly does not include making any more love to a cheater such as Tristan.
Oh, and if critics have a problem with this stance?
They can suck it.
As far as we know, Khloe remains in Cleveland, where she’s raising her daughter mostly on her own.
Thompson is busy not playing much in the NBA Playoffs and will be until the Cavs get eliminated. He’s trying to focus on his professional life right now, just as his personal life comes crumbling down.
“Khloe is very torn on what to do with her and Tristan,” a source tells Entertainment Tonight. “Khloe loves him deeply. He is the father of her child, but she feels betrayed and blindsided.”
Well, yeah.
Concludes this same insider:
Khloe has had friends and family around her non-stop since the news broke that Tristan [allegedly] cheated.
Now that they are leaving, it will allow her time to process everything. Khloe’s main focus is being a mother and figuring out what is best for True.
April Love Geart Claps Back at Critics of Her Breastfeeding Photo
It seems like just yesterday that April Love Geary first showed off her baby bump. But it was half a year ago, and she and Robin Thicke have welcomed the birth of their baby.
Now, she’s shared a photo of her sweetly nursing baby Mia … only to get blasted for showing the “indecent” image.
But she’s clapping back at her mom-shamers … and she’s pulling out the receipts.
In February, April Love gave birth to Mia Love Thicke, an adorable baby.
Like other babies and also all humans, Mia needs sustenance in order to survive. As is often the case, that comes in the form of breast milk.
So it should be no surprise that April Love breastfeeds her precious baby.
Like a number of celebrities — and even ordinary moms — she is sharing this photo to help normalize breastfeeding, as moms are still shamed for feeding their children.
She shared this photo, taken by her fiance, Robin Thicke.
This is a great photo!
Not only is this picture sweet and entirely non-sexual, but she’s even censored her exposed nipple in order to meet Instagram’s dainty standards.
(As we all know, Instagram has a delicate constitution and simply cannot handle the sight of the forbidden Lady Nipples)
Her caption was short and sweet, as she wrote:
“MOM pic by baby daddy Robin Thicke.”
As you can imagine, though, there was some unfortunate backlash.
A British television personality who starred on Big Brother as a teenager was among April Love’s critics, and posted as much in a series of tweets.
“I’m all for breastfeeding and having a choice how to feed your baby but WHY do people feel the need to post pictures of themselves doing it?!”
To her credit, she went ahead and made it clear that she was talking about April Love.
“Especially the new pic of Robin Thicke’s gf! She’s got hair done, makeup on, both boobs out. So strange. What’s the need??”
Wed’ wager that her hair and makeup are done because she’s, get this, taking a photo.
As for the both boobs out conspiracy, we’re no experts, but it appears to be because she’s not wearing a shirt.
She continues, indicating that she’s not trying to advocate for women hiding themselves when they feed their babies.
“I don’t think it should be done discreetly. I pumped breastmilk publicly ALOT when I had Frankie and Blakely.”
She’s hung up on the photos.
“I just don’t understand the reason behind posting pics. That’s all. Not hating or shaming I just don’t see why.”
People explained to her that the pictures are to help normalzie breastfeeding.
“Breast feeding doesn’t need normalizing. It’s been done (myself included) for YEARS. Why do we need to normalize something that was around before we all were? Lol it’s bizarre that we feel we need to do this”
She’s missing the point — it needs to be normalized because women are still harassed, asked to leave, or even threatened for breastfeeding their babies at some locations.
So celebs share photos to remind everyone that it’s no big deal.
April Love noticed the tweets, of course.
She posted her rebuttal on Instagram — and included some receipts.
“Hey @chanellehayes, maybe the next time you want to criticize me for posting a picture of myself breastfeeding you should really take a look at the pictures you’ve had taken.”
Hayes, of course, has worked as a model in what the British call “Lads” magazines. So, yes, she’s posed topless.
But April Love makes it clear that she’s not trying to shame Hayes. She just wants to point out that her stance doesn’t make sense.
“Not that taking nudes are wrong! The naked body is a beautiful thing! But don’t be a hypocrite mama.”
Honestly? April Love Geary is definitely Robin Thicke’s better half.

Kylie Jenner to Critics: You"re Just Jealous of My Body!
Kylie Jenner does not care what you think.
The 20-year old new mother shocked many fans on Instagram two days ago when she snapped a selfie.
This on its own, of course, is the opposite of shocking.
It’s only shocking when Jenner goes an hour or two without snapping a selfie.
However, this self-portrait featured Kylie in a waist trainer, a ridiculously stupid and completely useless piece of apparel that she and her sisters have pushed on the public for years.
The siblings get paid to pretend as if this item helps them lose weight, setting a horrible example for followers around the world and proving they only care about money.
We’ve slammed, bashed and mocked the Kardashians for waist training for years.
But Kylie has now taken this bad role modeling to a new low, considering she gave birth six weeks ago and is trying to tell folks that using a frickin waist trainer will help them shed pregnancy weight.
Just consider her caption to the following image…

A Texas-based OGBYN told Us Weekly afterward that this garment “puts harmful compression to the abdomen. It has a temporary result that is no different than anything too tight around skin.”
In other words: it doesn’t work. D’uh!
Jenner may be proud of her post-baby body right now, but she achieved nothing of substance with this asinine waist trainer.
We’re not the only ones to state this opinion, but Radar Online claims Jenner only has one message for her critics.
“Kylie has been getting so much hate from everyone over the fact that she is ashamed about how fat she got while pregnant,” an insider tells this gossip website, adding:
“Honestly, she couldn’t really care less what people think.
“She believes that everyone is just jealous that she is able to get so skinny so fast and they are not!”
Yup. That’s totally it.
That’s always the case when a celebrity is criticized; haters must be jealous, right?
What other explanation could one ever have for thinking badly of a star and/or her actions?!?
Jenner, of course, disappeared from the spotlight during her pregnancy.
Numerous reports suggested that she was embarrassed about the pounds she packed on, assuming she would receive flak for it because she’s made a living by sharing so many sultry selfies.
Kylie basically based her self-worth on her appearance, which is very unfortunate.
She then gave birth on February 1 and reportedly became immediately obsessed with regaining her bikini body.
“Kylie really believes that she needs to have a hot body for her job and it’s really sad how much emphasis she is putting on this,” Radar concludes.
We agree. It’s totally sad.
But if she wants to actually accomplish this goal, we have one a piece of advice for her:
Take off the dang waist trainer!

Tori Spelling: SLAMMED By Critics Following Mental Breakdown
Last week, we reported that Tori Spelling had suffered a nervous breakdown, resulting in police being called to the actress’ home.
As we learned more about the situation, thing began to sound even more grim.
While the exact causes of Spelling’s breakdown remain somewhat mysterious, sources concur that her mental state has deteriorated along with her home life.
Insiders indicate that Tori’s relationship with Dean McDermott has long been a source of stress, and that police arrived when a domestic disturbance led neighbors to call 911.
Despite early reports that Spelling was hospitalized, it now looks as though she has remained at home with McDermott and her five children.
Fans have offered well wishes, and many have expressed their hope that Spelling is getting the help she so obviously needs.
Others, however, have been less sympathetic.
“Stop having babies when you’re in the midst of marital and financial strife,” wrote one “concerned” social media commenter.
Others were unsympathetic due to their preconceived notions of Spelling’s economic status:
“I’m sure she has it so rough,” wrote one Facebook user.
“She probably has a nanny to take care of her kids and a housekeeper to clean her house.”
“Sorry, rich people problems. Not worried about her at all,” remarked another.
While the actress certainly has it easier than most, Spelling has suffered major financial hardship in recent years that have resulted in multiple lawsuits from various creditors.
The problems of a formerly wealthy actress and heiress who squandered her inheritance and earnings are unlikely to elicit much sympathy from Americans struggling to put food on the table.
Still, it’s important to bear in mind that Spelling’s problems are real, and mental illness does not discriminate on the basis of income brackets.
Spelling is coping with many of the same stresses as any mother of five, and it’s evident that she’s enduring some real difficulties at the moment.
We’re not saying fans are obligated to dig deep and find hidden reserves of compassion and understanding before they publicly comment on her situation, but they we are saying this is one of those frequently-occurring situations where we’d be better served by focusing on what we share in common, rather than the superficial ways in which we’re different.
