Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures: #Normalize It!


Many famous moms have posted up close and personal pictures of themselves breastfeeding online, many in an attempt to "normalize" the process.


Why is breastfeeding at all taboo, wondered Jessie James Decker recently, when half naked girls parading around on social media are ogled 24/7/365?


She raises a valid point, and we applaud her for raising it. And for breastfeeding her children and giving us a glimpse into that intimate bond.


Check out some of the best photos from JJ and others:

Drake and Serena Williams: We"re Not Engaged, Just Banging!

Yesterday, we reported on the widespread rumor that Drake and Serena Williams are engaged.


It seemed too good to be true, and sadly, reps for the couple confirmed that while they might be doing plenty of cross-court smashing, they’re not an official match.



TMZ is reporting that Drake and Serena are denying that they’ve taken the next step, with Drake’s team issuing a statement that says simply, “The rumor is completely untrue.”



Obviously it’s a shame, as the couple’s children would’ve made short work of their opponents on the court, then proceeded to body their rap rivals with blistering diss tracks.


Of course, we should probably just give these two some time.


It’s only been a few weeks since Drake and Serena were caught making out, and we’re already hoping Drizzy will propose in an epic 18-minute auto-tuned ballad. 


It’s just that celebrity couples like this don’t come along ever day, and a Drena (Serake?) wedding would be the star-studded party of the century.


Then again, if Serena buys into the theory that Drake is her bad luck charm, she might want to cut him loose for the time being and come back after she nails that elusive calendar Grand Slam.


We’re Drizzy will wait for her. Plus the breakup will probably inspire 19 number one singles.


Watch This Mother-to-Be Whip, Watch Her Nae Nae

We"ve seen plenty of impressive examples of people doing the Whip/Nae Nae in recent months.


There was Riley Curry, who may be the cutest young person on the planet.


There was this grandmother, who is far cooler than we"ll ever be.


And there was this six-year old and her very pregnant mother, both of whom have amazing moves.


But this video likely features the most impressive dancer yet, considering she is ACTIVELY IN LABOR while busting our her moves.


She"s doing it to help her contractions along and to speed up the birthing process in general. She isn"t just showing off.


But that doesn"t mean she doesn"t deserve an ovation. Watch her go!

Woman Ridiculed For Before-and-After Makeup Photos, Responds to Haters

When Ashley VanPevenage had an allergic reaction to benzoyl, and it caused her acne to flare up, she turned to a makeup artist friend for help.


The efforts of @MakeupByDreigh to help mask her skin where amazing, and Dreigh posted the before-and-after photos to her Instagram.


VanPevenage’s face went viral, but not in an entirely good way.



While Dreigh’s work was praised by many commenters, others used the photos as an opening to mock VanPevenage with a plethora of nasty memes.



“The reason why you gotta take a bitch swimming on the first date,” one Twitter user wrote, while another added, “This is why I have trust issues.”


Eight months later, VanPevenage is finally speaking out.


“I used to be entertained by many memes,” Ashley says on YouTube. But when it’s actually you and you’re dealing with all the harsh comments?”


“It’s a whole different story,” VanPevenage lamented.


“They’re very disturbing and hurtful,” she added. “After this picture was posted and I read all the comments, I lost all my confidence.”


“But I’ve realized that people’s opinions don’t matter. Everyone should feel beautiful in their natural skin and it doesn’t matter what’s on the outside.”


“The only thing that matters is who you really are.”


VanPevenage was applauded for her YouTube response, with commenters calling her “beautiful” and telling her to “keep [her] head up.”


Hopefully, she will heed exactly that advice.
