So many celebrities have endorsed the gender equality campaign Free the Nipple, it was almost a boring event when iconic supermodel Naomi Campbell posted a t*****s photograph of herself on Twitter and Instagram this week. The image was taken down on Instagram by late Wednesday afternoon, but remains on Twitter for the ages and it all has to do with the fact that images that include a woman"s nipples are treated differently by social media networks than that of a man"s. (Reader warning: nipples ahead.)
#FreeTheNipple quickly won over gender equality advocates
If you"re not familiar with #FreeTheNipple campaign, it probably just means you"re rarely on social networks or not a woman (or both). The effort won over many online fans, who see it as part of a larger gender equality movement. Search any network for the hashtag; you"ll find thousands of supportive photos and conversations. The campaign reached peak news interest in 2014, coined the "The Year of the Nipple" by Elle magazine, after Lina Esco and Rumer Willis, Scout Willis, Miley Cyrus, Chelsea Handler, and Rihanna shared t*****s images on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag. Handler went as far as to post the notice she received from Instagram after one of her photos was taken down:
On Tuesday, Campbell tweeted a photograph of herself as part of a plug for Garage Magazine"s latest issue; the same image was posted on Instagram (and has now been removed).
The reaction on Twitter and Instagram has been overwhelmingly positive, and for a time Campbell"s photo became a trending story on Facebook.
Instagram bans nudity, and Twitter is okay with nipples in tweets
Campbell risked both the deletion of the image and also the possible suspension of her account on Instagram. Not so on Twitter, unless she uses the image as an avatar.
Instagram bans nudity in every case: "You may not post violent, n**e, partially n**e, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic or sexually suggestive photos or other content via the Service," according to the site"s policy. The rule is poorly applied, and that criticism doesn"t even take into account the fact that Instagram bans a lot of other natural things about women"s bodies, like pubic hair and weight gain.
Twitter"s terms allow for "graphic content" in tweeted images, but bans their use in other places like an avatar: "You may not use pornographic or excessively violent media in your profile image, header image, or background image."
What is considered pornographic content, anyway? There"s no universally agreed-upon definition, but the most famous one is the following phrase (misattributed to US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart): "You will know it when you see it." Campbell"s Instagram photo was taken down, but if anyone could have gotten away with breaking a few rules, it"s probably Naomi Campbell.
On Tuesdays episode of The Tonight Show, Ariana Grande let her vocal range do the talking when host Jimmy Fallon challenged her to a game of Wheel of Musical Impressions.
The 22-year-old singer started off with an on-the-nose rendition of Britney Spears singing Mary Had A Little Lamb. She then went on to completely nail The Wheels on the Bus in the style of vocal queen Christina Aguilera.
Fallon and the audience were blown away by Grandes Xtina impression.
We should just stop the show there; I dont know how we can continue, Fallon said. That is unbelievable. Wow, I want that recording.
The host added his own impressions of Aaron Neville singing OMIs Cheerleader and Sting crooning The Weeknds Cant Feel My Face.
Grandes final challenge was to emulate Celine Dion performing Cant Feel My Face. She at first seemed unsure about how to imitate the Canadian artists voice, but once she started singing, it was clear her worries were unfounded. Fallon chimed back in with his Sting impersonation of the song and the two executed a flawless duet.
Cowboys Acquire Brice Butler To Replace Injured Dez Bryant
Name: Brice ButlerPosition: WRHeight: 6-3Weight: 205College: San Diego State Draft: 207th overall by Oakland, 2013
Games Studied: 2015 preseason vs. STL, MIN, ARZ, SEA
Report: Brice Butler has all the measureables that scouts look for in a receiver. Hes listed with 4.39 speed coming out of college, but when you watch him play, it takes him a few strides before he is hitting top gear.
I would not call him a sudden player or initially quick, but he can cover some ground once he gets going. He had a nice slant in the Arizona game where he showed a little burst inside against press coverage. Was used on bubble screens out of the slot where he was able to get going once he had the ball in his hands.
He dropped what would have been a sure touchdown on a stutter- go against Seattle, where he sold the route well then was able to gain vertical separation. Showed good body control in that same game against the Seahawks, where he got behind the corner and was able to high-point a ball while getting both feet in bounds. He absolutely had to find space on the play, and he was able to do that.
There are snaps where he plays like he is tall, or too upright, when he is running routes. h**l almost come to a stop to make a cut or curl back for the ball. He will need work here to be cleaner in his routes. On a similar note, I would like to see him take more of an advantage of his size when running his routes. He gets beaten up going down the field -- needs to fight the defender better.
He turned down a slant against the Seahawks where he took a peek at the safety inside and didnt finish. He does have an idea of what to do with the ball in his hands. He had a touchdown against St. Louis where he caught an option route underneath and showed a burst into the end zone. He"s got some versatility the Cowboys" coaches will value, as the tape shows him having experience to both line up at the "X" -- Dez Bryant"s primary position -- as well as in the slot.
For a tall guy, hes got a knack for making tacklers miss in space. He has talent to be more than just a flash player, but I would like to see him be more consistent with the opportunities that he gets. Read

Tom Hardys sexual orientation has made headlines in the past. Now, his refusal to talk about talking about sexuality is causing a stir. It shouldnt.
On Sunday, at a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival for Hardys new movie Legend, in which Hardy plays a gay man, reporter Graeme Coleman from the LGBT news outlet Daily Xtra asked Hardy: Do you find it hard for celebrities to talk to media about their sexuality? After an awkward back-and-forth, Hardy shut down the question with Thank you.
Digg posted the video with the headline Tom Hardy Has The Perfect Answer To Reporter Asking Him About His Sexuality. But if anything this should make Hardy look bad, not the reporter.
There is nothing embarrassing about being gay. There is nothing dirty or taboo about it. Asking someone if he or she is gay is the equivalent of asking if they are married, if they were raised Christian, of if they have a bachelors degree. It is a factual question. Just because being gay affects who a person has s*x with, this is not a question about his or her s*x life. Its not asking about which sexual positions a person prefers or how often they m********e. Those are, of course, personal matters that should never be asked about (unless by a very close friend at a boozy brunch).
The reason why some people dont want to askboth at press conferences and at cocktail partiesis because there is still that little lingering doubt in the back of their minds that there is something wrong with homosexuality. If you ask someone whether he or she is gay, and he or she is not, they should not feel badly about themselves or about you.
Gay people are, in most cases, happy to tell you that they are gay. Straight people hardly ever get asked whether theyre straight or gay and might be taken aback by the question, but they seem to never have a problem setting the record straight. (Asking how much someone makes or how much they spent on a dress, however, is still off limits.)
Regardless, these questions are especially relevant given Hardys past statements and his role in this movie. In 2008, while Hardy was promoting another movie in which he played a gay man, British gay lifestyle magazine Attitude quoted him saying Ive played with everything and everyone. Hardy later denied that he ever had s*x with men and said he was misquoted. In Legend, Hardy plays both Reggie and Ronnie Kray, twin British gangsters. Ronnie is known to have been gay, and recent reports claim that both brothers were bisexual.
Thats likely why the reporter asked about Hardys sexual orientation. Its the same reason why a reporter might ask the man playing Jesus in a TV movie whether or not he was raised Christian. It doesnt question his competence as an actor, but it does have relevance to what sort of personal experiences he brings to the role.
I get why Hardy is upset with the inquirythe question has been asked and answered. We dont need to ask Neil Patrick Harris or Wanda Sykes about their sexuality for every role they play. The issue is that the question is whether Hardy finds it hard for celebrities to talk about their sexuality, and Hardy says no when everything about his response seems to say the opposite.
Those who are celebrating Hardys response seem to think that keeping people from asking about sexual orientation is helping end homophobia. Its just the opposite, in fact. It further convinces people that being gay (or even asking if someone is gay) is something shameful that needs to be hidden. Its not.
A more honest, interesting answer would have gone something like this:
Yes, I do find it hard to discuss sexuality as a celebrity. I made some comments that were misquoted by a magazine and ever since then questions about my sexuality always pop up. I am straight. It just shows how obsessed we are, as a culture, with gay people and gay s*x. Who we sleep with doesnt matter, and I wish that this matter could be closed for good rather than being brought up at every opportunity for mere titillations sake.
That would have been the perfect answer, but Hardy unfortunately didnt give it.
In March 2015, it was reported that Tamar Braxton and her husband Vince Herbert owed the IRS $1.6 million. A couple hours after the news broke, Braxton was rushed to the hospital following an anxiety attack. In a since-deleted tweet, Braxton denied having money problems saying, "If my husband owed 1.6, h**l 4.6 million dollars I could pay that! Be very careful because you ARE sending me to the hospital with anxiety issues!!"

In 2014, a report surfaced claiming that Basketball Wives LA star Gloria Govan had a romantic relationship with Braxton"s husband Hebert. But Govan denied the rumor on social media, saying, "I"ve never met @tamarbraxton or her husband day in my life! And I wish them nothing but the best in their marriage and beautiful family!!!"

In September 2014, rumors spread that Herbert was physically abusive to Braxton. During an interview, she admitted that she had been "in a really abusive relationship before," but insisted that Herbert had never put a hand on her.

Busey"s bad luck struck again when he started suffering recurring nosebleeds and had to undergo surgery in 1997 to remove massive cancerous tumor from his sinus cavity. The cancer required him to get facial reconstruction and 35 radiation treatments. He"s still alive!

In 1996, Busey publically claimed to be a Christian. "I am proud to tell Hollywood I am a Christian," he said. "For the first time I am now free to be myself." Busey attrinuted his conversion to his addiction recovery and crash. He joined a group called the Promise Keepers and was ordained a preacher.

Busey"s second wife, Tiani, who once made her money as an exotic dancer, accused him of abuse two times. He was put in jail after one fight at their house in Malibu, but Tiani never filed charges. They got divorced in 2000.

Busey married his first wife and college sweetheart, Judy, in 1968, but they divorced after a son and 20 years together.
Getty Images
Busey also had a daughter out of wedlock with his girlfriend Tracy Hutchinson.

In the midst of his battle with cancer, a United Airlines flight attendant said that Busey hit her on a plane. Busey claimed she startled him. The lady wasn"t injured and didn"t file charges. Busey later apologized to her after being questioned by police.

In 2012, Nick Carter"s sister Leslie passed away after an alleged prescription drug overdose. Carter didn"t attend his sister"s funeral because of a family feud, but did say, "There are so many emotions for me surrounding the loss of my sister. I am trying to stay healthy, positive, and focused."
Getty Images
Carter claimed in his memoir that he had his first drink when he was 2 years old. "Family legend has it that when I was two years old, I crawled into one of the Yankee Rebel"s liquor storage rooms where I was caught drinking for the first time," he said. "My parents always laughed at that. I laughed too, for a while, and then I didn"t laugh at it any more."
Getty Images
Carter said he went to rehab at Promises Malibu while still drunk and on cocaine, but after a tour and interview, he decided to try rehab on his own.

In January 2002, Carter was arrested on suspicion of refusing to follow police orders to exit a nightclub. The misdemeanor charges were eventually dropped.

In 2013, Paula Deen"s former employee Lisa Jackson who worked at Deen"s restaurant Uncle Bubba"s Seafood and Oyster House sued the celebrity chef saying she suffered from sexual harassment and racial discrimination. The discrimination suit was dropped and both parties reached an agreement.
Getty Images
But during a deposition for the lawsuit, Deen admitted to making racial comments and using the "n-word," allowing racial jokes and condoning p**n at work. This caused the Food Network to say they wouldn"t renew her contract.
Getty Images
In 2012, Deen whose many recipes utilized rich and fatty ingredients was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
