Kendra Wilkinson Out Without Wedding Ring After Reports Her Husband Cheated With Transexual

Posted in: ,

Just weeks after giving birth to daughter Alijah, reports surfaced that Kendra Wilkinson and her husband Hank Baskett were having marriage issues, and she had sent him out of the house. The reason supplied was that he had cheated with a transgender YouTube model named Ava Sabrina London.

And now, Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett has been photographed in a very somber mood as she ran errands and she was not wearing her wedding ring.

They have such a beautiful family, an I still remember how he watched her on Dancing with the Stars a couple of seasons ago.

If these reports are true, I can't imagine the pain she's going through. Why do men do these things?

Posted in: , ,

I just love the look of this mixed-denim shirt dress on Amber Rose. Of course with her great curves, Amber can pull off most looks, but the thing that draws me to this is the loose silhouette which tells you that it will be a comfortable fit. She notches up the look wiht fancy footwear and handbag.

Posted in: , , ,

One of those forums for natural-haired girls to discuss about everything from hair tips, LOCs, Big Chops, CoWashs to personal natural hair journeys is CurlyNikki.com.

4 Things You Can Do When You Are In The Friend Zone by Atala

Posted in: , , , ,

Recently, someone I know was wondering what was going on in the head of this girl he was interested in. They were friends, he said, but he wanted more than just friendship, and he had let her know this.

However, she was non-commital; not quite agreeing that they should take their friendship to the next level, yet not wanting to end the friendship.

An overwhelming number of responses to the thread started gave an instant diagnosis – she had locked him and sealed him tight into that cage from which there was no escape - the Friend Zone.

This meant that there was no point in trying to get her to see him as more than a friend, because that all he would ever be to her. And from the tone of those responses, the Friend Zone was absolutely not a place that anyone should be happy to be in.

How Paul Walker Bought A $9,000 Engagement Ring For A Military Couple Before His Death

Posted in: , ,

Paul Walker might have been most famous for his Fast and Furious movies, but what most people don't know is that he was actually a very generous man. When he bumped into a military couple shopping for an engagement ring in 2004, he bought the ring for them. After his death, the couple decided to testify of his generosity.

Kyle Upham and his fianceĆ© were browsing a jewelry store in Santa Barbara in 2004 — just before Kyle was deployed to Iraq for a second tour of duty — when a fellow shopper began to help them with their engagement ring purchase.

“I noticed there was someone else in there, but didn’t give it much thought, and we started looking at rings and whatnot, and he kept saying, ‘Go bigger’ and I kept saying, ‘No, look at the prices,’” Kristen Upham, who is now married to Kyle, says.

Kyle began talking with the stranger and realized it was Paul Walker.

Black Women at Greater Risk of Becoming Victims of Homicidal Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a crime that cuts a painful swath across all races, socioeconomic levels and cultures.
But experts in the field say that one set of victims — black women — is at a far greater risk to experience the grimmest of all domestic violence statistics:

They are about three times more likely to die at the hands of a partner or ex-partner than members of other racial groups. Intimate-partner homicide is also among the leading causes of death for black women ages 15 to 35.

And, the experts add, their plight may not change anytime soon because of complex underlying causes that in some cases stretch back generations: unemployment, poverty, lack of education, incarceration and violent environments.

Magazine Covers - Michelle Obama Talks Higher Education With Essence

Posted in: , ,

First Lady Michelle Obama has always been vocal about her passion for higher learning, and she expounds on that in her candid conversation with ESSENCE Editor-in-Chief Vanessa K. Bush. 

A big part of the recipe for success has to do with nurturing reslience in our children, she says.

"I know I tell my kids all the time that they shouldn't shy away from difficult things, because that is the point at which you are really growing. It's not just about grades or test scores. Today our kids may shy away from applying to college if they think they don't have the right grade or test score. But the truth is that the kids who succeed and go on to be successful professionals are the ones who know how to work hard."
