Awesome Parents Dress Son as Elsa for Halloween

Remember that supportive father who proudly bought his son a Barbie doll?


Paul Henson and Ashley Ramage have now gone one impressive step further.



The parents of three-year old Caiden shared a picture on Facebook this week of their son’s Halloween costume, surprising friends and family members with the reveal that Caiden will be trick-or-treating as Elsa from Frozen.



Yes, Elsa is a girl. Yes, Caiden is a boy. Got a problem with that?!?


The toddler’s parents do not.


“It’s important for children to know that their parents will stand by them no matter what,” Paul explains to The Huffington Post.


“Ashley and I will do whatever it takes to keep our son happy and not take his innocence and imagination from him.”


Amen, Ramage basically says, adding that parents should never stifle the growth or development of their kids via gender-based thinking.


“I want other parents to realize that gender stereotypes are taught and learned behaviors,” she says.


“At three years old, kids are still developing, exploring and discovering. As parents we shouldn’t discourage their individuality.”


What do you think, readers? Is this progressing parenting that has gone too far?


Or progressive parenting that ought to be applauded?

Lance Bass Reveals "Pedophile" Molested N SYNC Members

Lance Bass appeared on Meredith Viera’s talk show today and revealed that he and other members of ‘N SYNC were inappropriately touched by an older man when they were still in their teens.


The panel was discussing Ashley Judd’s claim that she was sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein when Bass opened up and revealed that he’d suffered similar abuse:



“This also happens to men, too,” he said. “It has happened to me. When I was 16, 17 years old, and we started, there was someone that we worked with that was inappropriately touching us.



“I was even aware then, at 16, that this guy was a pedophile. He was touching me oddly.”


Bass added that he and the other members of the band  – which included pop mega-star Justin Timberlake – would cope with the harassment by talking about the incidents of abuse with one another.


“With the guys we would kind of talk about it, joke about, but it’s not a joking thing…I’m glad that we were aware of it and we didn’t feel victimized at the time,” Bass said.


Many in the media have speculated that the man responsible for the abuse is disgraced ‘N SYNC manager Lou Pearlman.


Though Bass didn’t mention Pearlman by name today, the 61-year-old boy band impresario has been accused of child molestation in the past. 


Pearlman is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence on unrelated charges.


Kanye West: So Proud to Know Caitlyn Jenner!

Kanye West says a lot of crazy stuff (see bottom of this post).


But if you take away some of the ramblings… and some of the comparisons to God… and talk of running for President in 2020… the rapper also says some pretty awesome stuff.



Case in point: Kanye’s reaction to Caitlyn Jenner becoming, well, Caitlyn Jenner.



If you’ll recall, Kim Kardashian has credited her husband with opening up her eyes when it comes to her step-father; with helping her accept Caitlyn for the woman she wants to be.


And now we have this:


Kanye recently sat down for an extensive interview with SHOW studio’s “In Camera” series. When asked how he felt about Jenner’s gender transition, West responded:


“I just feel so proud to be in a family that has so many people breaking ground for the generations to come…I feel proud… that I can be next to a wave of ‘this is who I am.’ And that is all I’m about.”


West went on to illustrate his point of view by presenting a traffic analogy, theorizing that too many people are stuck in the gridlock of public opinion.


“To let your life be controlled by public opinion would be like asking to sit in traffic for the rest of your life,” he said.


“Meaning, you want to turn this way, but there’s a car right here that says this… That’s public opinion….And Bruce just got off [at] the exit sign and drove as fast as he wanted.”


We hesitate to say this, but did Kanye West just make perfect sense?!?


Don’t worry. We’ve collected the following series of quotes that prove this was the exception that proves the hilarious rule…
