Jennifer Aniston Says Birthing A Child Does Not Define Her Value As A Woman

Posted in: , , , ,

Many questions have followed Jennifer Aniston throughout her career, especially during her marriage to Brad Pitt, one of the most desirable men in Hollywood, their eventual divorce, and Brad going to have several biological and adopted children with Angelina Jolie.

Now that Jennifer Aniston is engaged again to fiance Justin Theroux, some of these questions have started up again including; "When is she getting married? Will she have children? Is she pregnant now?"

In an interview with TODAY's Carson Daly, Jennifer Aniston shared her take on the expectations that come with the questions.

“I don’t have this sort of checklist of things that have to be done, and…if they’re not checked, then I’ve failed some part of my feminism or my being a woman or my worth and my value as a woman because I haven’t birthed a child. I’ve birthed a lot of things, and I feel like I’ve mothered many things. And I don’t feel like it’s fair to put that pressure on people.”

Below is the video of their conversation and more of what she spoke about in the interiew;

Natalia Kills Blames Nicki Minaj's Anaconda Song For Bullying Skinny Women

Posted in: , ,

Singer Natalia Kills is publicly speaking out against the bulling of skinny or as she put it, "small framed" women. While she doesn’t name-check Nicki Minaj, she talks about a popular song out there that offensively refers to ‘skinny bitches’.

Nicki Minaj raps in Anaconda, “f*ck those skinny b*tches, f*ck those skinny b*tches in the club.”

Natalia Kills posted on Twitter;

I just heard a sad and degrading song that I can't quite figure out if it's a public joke or not.

Why are we publicly deemed "skinny BITCHES" if we're naturally smaller than sz 6? Horrified i'm considered a bitch for not being overweight.

Larger framed women need to stop bullying/victimizing girls with small frames, less voluptuous figures as if they're unattractive/anorexic.

Drake may sing about treating his lady to lobster and shrimp, but he only took Nicki Minaj to the local 7-Eleven. But he did tell her to, "Get whatever you want. All you gotta do is point." And he even offered to get some for her friend too.

Yes, there's a video of Drake and Nicki Minaj getting some snacks like ordinary people :)

He tells her to "get some Nutella dipsticks" and he pays for everything too, Cheetos and all. Like a perfect gentleman. So cute.

And it's just for Usher's music video, "She Came to Give It to You". What if it was for real?

Prince Harry is currently on a romantic getaway with new girlfriend, Camilla Thurlow in St. Tropez in the South of France. The new couple have been staying at a friend's luxury villa and have barely left the premises while on vacation, a source tells E! News.

"They've been talking until late into the night and having one of those magical times that you have when you first fall in love and want to find out everything you can about the other person. Harry's had no interest whatsoever in going out and just wants to focus on Camilla without any distractions."

"Camilla's the full package—she's got beauty and brains. Harry loves how she's devoted her life to charity—she's fully committed to helping other people and he sees a lot of his mother Diana's goodness in her.

Tomi and Korede - A UK-US Long Distance Love Story

Posted in: , ,

In this cute love story first shared on BN by the intending couple, Tomi and Korede discuss how they met and sustained a friendship that turned to love over 7 years. Enjoy!

How we Met
From the bride to be Tomi

“I recall going to the States (Maryland) to visit my aunty in February 2007. I was so excited! On the Sunday after I got there I decided to go to church with my aunt whilst my mum stayed at home. At the end of the service, the pastor asked for visitors to stand and introduce themselves. I did just that, told the church my name and that I was from London and some people were intrigued, Korede being one of them, Lol.

He came to introduce himself as the pastor’s son and that was how the journey of friendship began. I was excited that I had a fellow young person to always chill with anytime I went visiting. Getting back to the UK I added him on Facebook and that’s how we were able to stay in contact.

I loved the way he spoke so I’d always call to keep in touch but later gave up since he actually never called, and I was not ready to always be the one calling.
