Johnny Depp: Hiding Deadly Disease From Fans?
Last week, fans were shocked by photos of Johnny Depp looking gaunt and frail while on tour with his band in Europe.
If you haven’t seen the image in question, just imagine what Johnny would look like if he had spent the past few months preparing for a live-action sequel to the Corpse Bride.
Or, ya know … you can just see for yourself in the pic below:
Look, Depp superfans are a real and terrifying bunch, and we know better than to needlessly provoke them, so before you scroll down to the comments to excoriate us for cracking jokes about a dying man, let us make one thing clear:
Johnny Depp is probably not dying.
In fact, he’s probably just fine.
In fact, his reps have already issued a statement claiming that he’s losing weight on purpose and is healthier than he’s been in years.
But none of that will stop the Australian tabloids from working their readers up into a lather with claims that Depp is on his deathbed.
In case you’re not familiar, Aussie tabloids make British tabloids look like freakin’ New York Times in terms of journalistic integrity, which is really saying something, as British tabloids have been putting US tabloids to shame in terms of, well, shamelessness for the past couple decades.
Basically, just think of everything Donald Trump has said about the mainstream media in the past two years and know that all of those things are actually true of the Aussie tabloids.
Anyway, one scandal sheet from Down Under has demonstrated an obsession with Johnny’s well-being that’s matched only by every single Hot Topic clerk on the planet.
In a piece with the admirably restrained and subtle title of “What’s Killing Johnny?” a magazine that’s apparently known only as NW claimed that sources close to the actor are deeply concerned that he’s on his last (fatally skinny) legs.
“His friends are worried he’s keeping quiet about a serious illness,” says an almost certainly made-up “insider.”
“It’s well known that he’s a heavy drinker and the fear is his frail appearance could be linked to drugs or booze… or both.”
The insider claims that one illness in particular has Johnny fans concerned:
“Many are worried he possibly has liver cancer or something because he’s so skinny and has got, like, no hair now.”
Lol at the claim that “many” people jumped to that same ultra-specific conclusion.
“Johnny’s looking slimmer than usual. Must be the liver cancer,” cried the masses in unison.
We guess the folks at NW can skate by on a technicality here, as Johnny Depp will almost certainly not live forever, and is thus dying, in a sense.
But if we know Johnny — and we don’t — he’ll be shambling across the stage like the reanimated cadaver of his idol Keith Richards long after everyone has stopped caring or paying attention.

Duggar Family Blasted by Fans for Promoting Deadly Parenting Practices
Brace yourselves, folks. This is an upsetting story. Even in the context of the Duggar family.
Jim Bob and Michelle are promoting an ideology even more controversial than their own strict religious beliefs.
And fans are putting the Duggar family on blast.
The Duggars have been plugging an upcoming Marriage Retreat on social media.
“There is still time to register for this amazing marriage retreat! You will not regret it!”
The retreat is to take place as the Forsyth family’s Fort Rock. The problem is that this even will host Michael Pearl and Debi Pearl, authors of the deeply controversial book, To Train Up Your Child.
The book promotes forcing children to eat their least favorite foods until they “like” them, but also depriving your children of food as punishment.
Most significantly, the book encourages parents to hit their children with various objects, including plastic lengths of pipe. This abusive “training” is supposed to begin in infancy.
The methods described are a recipe for breaking a child and doing psychological damage that will last for a person’s entire life.
Except for those victims who die before they even reach adulthood.
As you can imagine, fans were horrified that the Duggars would condone such egregious child-abuse.
Fans on Facebook who are aware of the Pearls and the infamous “methods” that they promote felt crushed and heartbroken when they saw the announcement.
“This makes me so sad,” one wrote. “The Pearls literally promote hitting babies, actual babies.”
That is true. Among other things, the Pearls recommend the cruel “blanket training” that the Duggars practiced with some of their babies.
“They are child abusers. Why you would promote their evil and cruel practices is mind-boggling.”
Another disappointed Duggar fan commented, writing:
“Ahh yes, Fort Rock. Host and supporters of blatant child abusers.”
It’s difficult to argue with these commenters, even if you wanted to.
The “training” that the Pearls espouse to their followers involves using violence and fear to force children into submission.
And yes, it does begin when children are still babies.
The older that the child becomes, the harsher the physical punishments they recommend. Their pernicious book even suggests that parents might wear an object on their person as a constant reminder of the implied threat.
In recent years, police have linked three separate deaths of children to the Pearls, their book, and their ideology.
In each case, the abusive parents were convicted.
And that, of course, barely scratches the surface on the lifelong psychological damage that years of child abuse can inflict.
This isn’t the only time that the Duggars have been linked to abuse, and we don’t just mean hitting their own children or covering things up after Josh molested his sisters.
Member of the Duggar family’s church have shared shocking tales of abuse.
One survivor from the Duggar family church recently revealed that her father molested her as a child, and that the sexual abuse only stopped when he died.
That should have been the end of her suffering, but it was only part of her story.
Naturally, she suffered PTSD symptoms such as depression. Worse, in the eyes of her church and of her religiously devoted mother, she questioned her family’s beliefs.
She says that the church sent her to a “camp” where she was threatened, terrorized, and tortured for months in an effort to force her to fall into line with the church’s beliefs.
Unfortunately, it isn’t a surprise that the Duggars are promoting extreme ideology. Even though the Pearls recommend violence against children, that’s not a foreign concept to the Duggars.
Michelle has used a ruler to punish her very young children. Both producers and at least one of the Duggar children have mentioned that Jim Bob and Michelle keep a rod with which to hit their children.
There are heartbreaking, evil stories behind so many people’s broken childhoods.
The saddest thing of all of this might be that some people who come from these horrible backgrounds go on to repeat this cycle of violence with their own children.

Rob Kardashian: Will His Deadly Diet KILL Him?!
Kris Jenner might have eternal life thanks to ritual baths in money that she’s taken for decades, but we can’t say that about every Kardashian.
Rob Kardashian’s battle with his weight has been well-publicized over the past several years, and after everything that’s happened, it’s getting worse.
Right now, things are so bad that Rob’s friends reportedly fear that he might die.
Rob Kardashian’s rapid weight gain apparently began back in 2012, after he broke up with Rita Ora.
If you’ll recall, he famously accused her of having cheating on him “with 20 dudes.” He took to Twitter to share this unsubstantiated allegation and to question how she had time, given her career and all that.
That was an irresponsible use of Twitter, but obviously it pales in comparison to Rob Kardashian’s more recent Twitter meltdown.
Rob was withdrawn, socially, and he was said to be eating his feelings.
(We get it — food is happiness in its purest form)
Apparently, one of the primary culprits behind his was Rob’s fondness for milkshakes.
You don’t really think of milkshakes as a hefty source of calories. They’re fluffy and liquid.
(A lot of people have a similar problem with alcohol — ordering a salad without dressing, which is just a bowl of yard waste, but getting three alcoholic drinks with more calories than the dressing could have ever contained)
The thing about weight gain is that, because you see yourself every single day, you’re less likely to notice changes in your figure that someone who sees you month-to-month might pick up on.
So Rob’s weight went up and up and up.
You might remember that, back in late 2015, Rob Kardashian was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
Type 1 is the kind that you’re born with.
What we’re talking about is Rob developing insulin resistance over an extended period of time due to his weight and inactivity.
That’s a serious condition, extremely rare for a guy to develop in his twenties, and things looked bad.
However, after he hooked up with Blac Chyna, it seemed like things were looking up.
Blac Chyna immediately talked about getting him to eat healthier food.
(Though, as many people will stress, unless you’re a bodybuilder or athlete or model, your best bet hinges less on what you eat than on how much)
In fact, we saw a video of Rob Kardashian’s massive weight loss back when Chyna was helping him out.
(Diabetes can result in massive weight loss, but he had also changed his eating habits and fitness habits, under Blac Chyna’s guidance)
But when he and Chyna split, he’d turn to food again.
The thing about food is that it’s an immediate source of happiness, even if you’re fully aware that it’s going to make it harder for you to attain long-term happiness.
(It’s the same way with alcohol or heroin, really)
In fact, some blamed Blac Chyna for Rob’s second diabetes scare when he was hospitalized almost exactly one year after the first time, back in 2016.
Obviously, Blac Chyna doesn’t magically control Rob’s eating.
Now that these two are broken up for good, though, RadarOnline reports that Rob’s friends are terrified for him. They fear that his diet will kill him.
“At the moment, ice cream is his big weakness.”
I read that line and thought “isn’t it everyone’s?” I have a half a quart of blue cotton candy ice cream in my freezer and I have to exercise a lot of control to just eat a little at a time.
But when it comes to Rob, we have to keep two things in mind:
One, that he has diabetes, so there are things that others can enjoy that are simply dangerous for him.
Two, that his portion-control is … reportedly very alarming.
“He thinks nothing of having two or three tubs in the afternoon.”
We wish that we could believe that they meant those, like, smaler-sized pints of ice cream, but a “tub” of icecream is … well, it’s a tub.
“It’s wreaking havoc on his diabetes.”
Yeah. Ice cream has a lot of sugar.
“Not to mention the added stress the weight is putting on his heart.”
Heart health is something that everyone has to worry about — not just diabetics.
Rob does not naturally have a very large frame, so the added weight could be a real burden on his whole body.
“He thinks food is the only good thing in his life.”
That’s … so sad. He has a daughter, Dream.
We have to say that ratting out your friend’s eating habits to an entertainment news outlet isn’t a great way to change their habits.
Shame doesn’t stop people from eating very often.
It’s more likely to just make them isolate themselves more and, while isolated, eat more while hiding it from everyone else.
This could be bad news for the Kardashian family. Are they going to lose Rob just as they welcome three new family members next year?
Maybe Rob will turn things around.
At this point, it’s all up to him.

Charlottesville Rocked by Protests, Deadly Terror Act
WARNING:
The following video is disturbing in nature.
It depicts an unknown assailant ramming two slow-moving cars through a group of protestors who had gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia to object to the recent words and actions of White Supremacists in the area.
After the car slams on the gas and plows other vehicles into this contingent of civilians, it hits reverse and speeds up in the opposite direction, hitting other individuals along the way.
At the moment, one person is reported dead and 19 injured as a result of this terrorist act.
Chaos has broken out in Charlottesville after modern day Nazis marched through the University of Virginia campus on Friday night, chanting epithets and yelling that "White Lives Matter."
They did so in response to the removal of a statue of late Civil War General Robert E. Lee.
The following morning, counter protestors took to the streets of this city, which is now under an official state of emergency, per Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.
In response to the civil unrest, President Donald Trump said a bunch of meaningless cliches and refused to point any fingers at the White Nationalists for their points of view or their violent actions.
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides," Trump said in a short statement from his private golf club in New Jersey.
He added:
"It has been going on for a long time in our country – not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. It has been going on for a long, long time. It has no place in America."
The Commander-in-Chief did not mention White Supremacists or the the alt-right movement in his remarks, and later called for a "study" of the "situation."
Take a look below at the tragic incident that took these protests to a new and fatal level:
