Gus Kenworthy, Olympic Freeskier, Comes Out as Gay

Gus Kenworthy has come out as gay.

The Olympic freeskier covers the latest issue of ESPN the Magazine, touting the issue on his Instagram account and writing as a caption to the photo:

“I am gay. Wow, it feels good to write those words.”

The 24-year-old Olympic silver medalist then added a lengthy, moving post about what it means to him to be coming out a gay athlete in the modern world.

“For most of my life I’ve been afraid to embrace that truth about myself,” he wrote.

“Recently though, I’ve gotten to the point where the pain of holding onto the lie is greater than the fear of letting go, and I’m proud to finally be letting my guard down.”

Kenworthy says he was aware of his sexuality from an early age, admitting to bouts of anxiety and depression since entering the public eye at 16.

While in Sochi for the 2014 Winer Games, Kenworthy actually became a viral sensation after he rescued five stray dogs off the street.

He says he has no idea what to expect now that the world knows his secret, but he takes comfort in living a “genuine” life at last.

“Looking back, it’s crazy to see how far I’ve come,” he wrote on Instagram. “For most of my life I’ve dreaded the day that people would find out I was gay.

“Now, I couldn’t be more excited to tell you all the truth….

“Y’all have supported me through a lot of my highs and lows and I hope you’ll stay by my side as I make this transformation into the genuine me – the me that I’ve always really been.”

#FatGirlsCan Video Aims to Educate, Inspire

Remember that horrible fat-shaming video shared by unfunny YouTube star Nicole Arbour?

Consider the following to be the opposite of that.

Created by writer and activist Jes Baker, the PSA is dubbed #FatGirlsCan because that’s the message Baker wants to pass along.

"We are told that if we are fat, we can"t," she explains. "But the reality is – we can."

Baker details in the footage how individuals are taught that "fat" is a bad word, and how the size of one"s body simply precludes them from doing certain things.

The video project is in conjunction with Baker"s book, "Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls," which will be released next week.

"What was the ultimate thing that no one tells fat girls?" Baker told HuffPost. "My answer was: that they CAN.  

"They can find love, they can win Emmys, they can whitewater raft, they can have healthy pregnancies, they can ride roller coasters, they can break fashion rules, they can be professional dancers, they can be rockstars, they can have amazing sex, they can, they can, they CAN.

"And I see it every day. And the best part of this message is that it applies to all bodies."

Amen! Watch the video now. And don"t be ashamed if a few (dozen) tears are shed as a result.

Sarah Silverman"s Boobs: Still Huge, Possibly Fake

Back in August, Sarah Silverman’s cleavage stole the show at the Hollywood Foreign Press banquet, which is an annual event that the world showed an interest in for the first time, all because of Sarah’s boobs.

Not unlike the Wicked Witch of the West returning her flying monkeys to their cages, Sarah put her breasts away for a while, figuring their work was done. Thankfully, she unleashed her glorious girls once again at a premiere event in LA last night:

Sarah was working the red carpet to promote her new film I Smile Back, in which she plays a suburban mom struggling with addiction and mental illness.

Not the kind of indie flick that usually gets a lot of hype online, so perhaps Ms. Silverman knew just what she was doing when she broke out the double-sided nipple tape and slipped into a dress more precarious than anything you’ll see in The Walk.

Between showing off her fabulous figure at movie premieres and showing up to the Emmys stoned, Sarah has been elevating her red carpet in a major way recently.

Her demo might not be college-aged dudes but now that the Internet has decided to irrevocably link Sarah with boobs and pot, I Smile Back might have the biggest opening weekend since Jurassic World.

Lamar Odom Before Overdose: Khloe Kardashian Will Always Be My Girl!

Lamar Odom has always had so much love for Khloe Kardashian – even if his actions and addictions suggested otherwise – within his heart.

He gushed about her just days before the now infamous Lamar Odom overdose that nearly took his life, and brought the two back together.

The former NBA star confessed his feelings for her in a tabloid interview the week before he was found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel.

“Me and Khloe always talk,” the 35-year-old athlete said, echoing a sentiment he has expressed often during their two-year separation.

“We’re always in touch even when we’re out of touch.”

“I speak to Khloé indirectly every night before I go to sleep,” he continued, pensively. “We’ll always be connected. Khloe’s my girl. Always.”

“If we’re holding hands or a thousand miles apart.”

At the time, Khloe Kardashian was dating James Harden of the NBA’s Houston Rockets, though she put the kibosh on that after Odom OD’d.

“I would never comment on another man and what he does,” he said of his wife’s then-paramour. “Me and Khloe are just me and Khloe …”

“We’ll always be connected, you know? No matter what.”

Some prescient words, as it incredibly turned out.

Rumors of Kardashian texting Harden from Odom’s bedside may be true … but if so, she was likely calling things off with the basketball star.

James has yet to comment on being dispatched.

Despite signing the papers this summer, Khloe and Lamar’s divorce is called off, as her lawyer withdrew the filing in court 24 hours ago.

The amazing turnaround came a week after the 31-year-old rushed to be by Odom’s side after he was found near death in Nevada.

Kardashian was in charge of making Odom’s medical decisions while he was in a coma, and has not left his side for one moment since.

Think it will last this time around for the couple? Lamar swearing off drugs was enough for Khloe, but will he remain true to his word?
