Magic Johnson's Son EJ Johnson Reveals That He Considered Transitioning Because Of Caitlyn Jenner! Watch!

Posted: 28 Jun 2016 06:57 PM PDT

EJ Johnson is getting honest about his gender identity.

In a new episode of the Rich Kids of Beverly Hills alum's spinoff show, EJNYC, Magic Johnson's son opens up to a therapist about how Caitlyn Jenner's high-profile transition made him explore his own gender identity.

The 24-year-old said in a clip from the episode:

"I just wanted to come in today because I think there's just a lot going on with gender right now in the world and I think so many things are changing. Sometimes it's hard being in the middle, kind of in the gray area in my own lane. Now, since everybody's talking about Caitlyn Jenner and being transgender, people are so quick to say, 'Oh just because you're dressing like that means that you're going to transition to become a woman.'"

In fact, the reality star even admitted that the former Olympian's experience caused him to consider transitioning himself, adding:

"I thought about it, for sure. I was just like, 'Well do I want to transition? Is this something that I would do?' But I don't feel incomplete in that way. I don't feel the need to do that."

Ch-ch-check out the emotional moment (above)!

In another clip, EJ also addressed an article that compared his fashion to Kim Kardashian West's, dishing:

"I don't really care that I'm being compared to female celebrities. I think it's an honor. I wouldn't want to be compared to some random man who's wearing a tuxedo and I'm wearing a lace jumpsuit – like, it just doesn't make any sense."

The E! personality then responded to commenters who assume his feminine fashion choices indicate that he intends to transition into a woman:

"I'm interested to talk about what it means to actually transition – like if you're going to take that leap or that step, what's going on mentally that's telling you, 'This is what I need to do.' Because I don't feel that way."

EJNYC airs on Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST on E!

Later that day, The Simple Life personality "liked" the post, proving she totally agrees with its message!

In case you've been living under a rock, Paris and Kim used to be friends in the mid-2000s until the KUWTK star became an A-lister on her own. Soon, North West's mom eclipsed Miz Hilton as the reigning tabloid queen!

Regardless of who made who famous, we are LIVING for this drama!

And while we agree that we don't want such devastatingly horrible assaults happening in our country, we don't think the presumptive GOP nominee should be content with them happening outside of the US.

Our hearts are with Turkey during this tough time.

Former NFL Star Zurlon Tipton Dies After Accidentally Shooting Himself

Posted: 28 Jun 2016 04:50 PM PDT

What a sad and senseless tragedy.

According to the Detroit News, ex-NFL star Zurlon Tipton accidentally shot himself with a gun at a car dealership on June 28. The athlete was just 26-years-old.

The horrible incident occurred after the ex Indianapolis Colts running back brought his car into a dealership to fix a transmission leak. Before turning over the car, the football pro reached for two duffel bags in the vehicle, one of which had a hand gun. Sadly, the firearm went off in Tipton's abdomen, a turn of events that subsequently killed him.

An employee at the dealership recalled the freak accident, saying:

"A gentleman … brought a vehicle into our service department between 9 and 9:30 this morning. He had a transmission leak in his vehicle. At some point he reached into a duffel bag that was on the passenger seat of his vehicle and the pistol that was in there deployed and shot the gentleman in the abdomen."

So horrific. The situation is even worse because the 26-year-old was charged with criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon back in December.

Shortly after Z.T. succumbed to his injury, fans and friends took to Twitter to remember the fallen star:

How heartbreaking. We can't imagine how Zurlon's loved ones must feel right now.

R.I.P, Mr. Tipton.

At Least 36 People Killed & 147 Injured In Istanbul Airport Explosions

Posted: 28 Jun 2016 04:28 PM PDT

UPDATE 8:27 PM EST: Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim is now saying the death toll in this horrific attack has risen to 36. Turkey's Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag is also saying at least 147 people were injured in the explosions.

Binali says there's a possible ISIS connection, but authorities are still looking into the tragedy, explaining:

"The signs point to Daesh [ISIS] but the investigation is ongoing."

Our hearts go out to everyone in Turkey.

This is horrible.

On Tuesday, Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin confirmed that at least 28 people were killed and 60 others injured after three attackers wearing explosive vests set off their bombs at Istanbul Ataturk Airport.

Turkish officials said police at the checkpoint for the airport's international terminal shot at the suspects, who then detonated their vests and killed themselves.

While most of the people who were hurt or killed in the attack were Turkish citizens, an official explained that "there are foreign nationals" among the dead and wounded.

Traveler Laurence Cameron opened up about the scary scene, saying:

"It was just a massive crowd of screaming people. Some were falling over themselves. A poor chap in a wheelchair was just left, and everyone just rushed to the back of the building, and then people ran the other way and no one really seemed to know what was going on. Where you normally hail a taxi, that is where the attack happened. The ground is just kind of shredded. There is bloodstains on the floor as well."

The Federal Aviation Administration is grounding US flights that were headed for Istanbul, as well as planes from Istanbul on their way to America.

The airport is closed until Wednesday at 8 p.m. local time. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the horrific assault.

Our hearts are with everyone affected by this terrible tragedy.

Blogger Mel Wells Rips Samsung A New One For Their Default 'Beauty Level' Filter — Read Her Scathing Message!

Posted: 28 Jun 2016 03:49 PM PDT

Way to stick up for what's right, girl!

About a week ago, blogger Mel Wells called out the phone company Samsung for their "beauty level" filter. Wells discovered the automatic photoshop feature after celebrating her new phone purchase with a cute selfie.

Related: Maxim Gets In Trouble For Photoshopping Armpits!

Unfortunately for Ms. Wells, after she took the photo she realized the phone airbrushed all of her natural beauty without her consent. Surprisingly, the "beauty level" filter is a default setting for every new Samsung cell!

Check out M.W.'s pissed off response to filter-gate (below)!

Wow Samsung. When you get a brand new phone and go to take a selfie and realise that the default setting on the front camera is automatically on "Beauty level 8" which evidently means: seriously airbrushed face. This means everyone who gets a new Samsung phone and flicks the front camera on is automatically being told "Hi, we're Samsung and we think you look way better when we automatically airbrush your selfies for you, x 8!!" Thanks @samsungmobile for the vote of confidence, I think I'll keep my freckles and imperfections since this is how I look in 3D and this is how all my friends see me in real life. I hope young girls are buying iPhones instead of Samsungs. (Wait, do iPhones do this too?) To clarify - no apps here - this is Samsung's DEFAULT FRONT CAMERA SETTING. 😟🙈A photo posted by M E L W E L L S 🦄🌈 (@iammelwells) on Jun 22, 2016 at 5:28am PDT

Wow! The gorgeous gal really went there -- it's clear she's really angry!

While a lot of fans were inspired and pleased with Mel's message, some users wondered why the author chose not to turn off the filter which could have solved the situation.

In response, the blonde explained:

Thanks @cosmopolitanuk for picking this up. For those people saying "What's the problem, just turn it off," that wasn't the point I was making. Of course you can turn the setting off/on as you please. The point I was making is that when you first buy a brand new handset, this setting is already automatically applied to the front camera and to beauty level 8. So already assuming the consumer wants to be airbrushed. I wanted to raise this point as I think it's one thing for us the consumer to decide to edit our photo after its been taken, but it's another thing for the manufacturer to do it for us before we've even taken the shot. The more we are told that we are supposed to look flawless, the more unhappy we will feel in our own skin - because none of us are flawless! On the contrary - it is our imperfections that make us most beautiful. Social media comparison has a massive impact on anxiety levels in young people and half the problem is we are being presented with flawless airbrushed photos constantly. In #TheGoddessRevolution there's a chapter called 'The Instaperfect Highlight Reel'. We all use filters and want to look our best, and this is not a rant about never editing photos because we've all done it - just remember when you're scrolling that usually what you're seeing is just an orchestrated and edited snapshot into someone's Instalife. ❤ That's all. Thanks for the support @cosmopolitanukA photo posted by M E L W E L L S 🦄🌈 (@iammelwells) on Jun 25, 2016 at 8:10am PDT

All great points, girl! Airbrushing is not the norm!

So, what do YOU think of Mel's message?

Dad Recreates His Teen Daughter's Sexy Selfies To Teach Her A Lesson — Find Out How SHE Feels About It!

Posted: 28 Jun 2016 03:38 PM PDT

Chris "Burr" Martin has a 19-year-old daughter named Cassie, and when his little girl decided she was grown up enough to take a bunch of sexy selfies, he took exception.

But rather than chastise her, the Washington dad decided to have some fun with it!

The 47-year-old figured the best way to discourage his daughter from taking sexy selfies was by recreating them -- picture by picture, outfit by outfit.

You have to see it to believe it!!

Ch-ch-check out some of Martin's recreations via his Instagram page (below)!!!

And there's SO much more (below):

A while ago some of you saw i was copying the photos my daughter would post on her Facebook, mainly because i told her it looked like she was trying to escort Japanese businessmen and to tone it down. She did a little but i still kept it up because sometimes I'm just bored. So heres the latest. #nailedit #baddadA photo posted by Burr Martin (@therealburrmartin) on Jun 5, 2016 at 9:59pm PDT

So my daughter has been posting sexy selfies of herself and instead of telling her to stop, well, I thought of something better. #dadbod #dadselfieA photo posted by Burr Martin (@therealburrmartin) on Apr 11, 2016 at 10:14pm PDT

#DadBod is right! Ha!!

The clever dad talked to Us Weekly, and revealed his reactions to those seeing all these pics on a much larger scale -- including other parents:

"It's been pretty funny. A few have called me a jerk, but I don't think they get it. We've kind of always made fun of each other in our family."

And refreshingly, Cassie is the one who might like it the most!

She revealed that she gets her dad's humor, and even enjoyed it:

"My dad is a huge comedian in the family so when he did the pictures it was a huge laugh. The funniest reaction I get is from people my age hoping their parents don't know how to work the internet so they can't jump [on] the trend my dad has started."

Nice!!

Is YOUR dad on IG??
