Spencer Elden is the former baby who appears on the cover and his lawsuit states that he has suffered “lifelong damages” because he “was forced to engage in commercial sexual acts while under the age of 18 years old.” Spencer is seeking $150,000 from each of the defendants, which includes Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Courtney Love, the executor of Cobain’s estate, photographer Kirk Weddle, and several others. The iconic album cover features baby Spencer naked in the pool and seemingly swimming after a dollar that is tied to a string....

CHECK OUT: This Barbie Pop-Up Camper Is on Mega Sale Today for Prime Day If Barbie movies must be made, then I suppose you want smart, artistic and sensitive people doing it, right? In theory, the news that Baumbach and Gerwig are writing a big-screen version of the famous blonde plastic doll should be a cause for celebration.

According to WalletHub, a lot of people have a dream to live near the water. And what better time than now to do what’s going to make us happy? “Many people don’t just want the beach experience for a week or two, though – they long to live on the waterfront,” WalletHub says. “After all, beachside communities often represent a relaxed and luxurious way of life.” And with that in mind, they set out to find out which towns are the best to live where having a water or beach view is affordable, fun, and everything they ever wanted....

“Not only are bodyweight workouts an efficient way to build muscle, but they’re a great way to strengthen the entire kinetic chain in a way that machines at the gym won’t do,” says Jayson Lee, a personal trainer in New York City. In other words, without the chair to sit in or bars to stabilize you, you’re forced to work everything from your core to your glutes and calves to help you maintain balance and proper form when doing something like a single-arm push up (more on that in a minute), says Lee....

“What you as a parent should ensure is that your child’s book experience is joyful, interactive, and engaging,” Dr. Richard Gentry, internationally acclaimed education consultant and the author of Raising Confident Readers, says. “Read together every day for a few minutes or as long as the child is interested, and don’t ever criticize your child’s book choices. At this age, your goal is to bond with the child and build a child’s love for books and life-long reading....

Purchasing a microwave isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of situation, and there are a variety of factors to consider. For one, size. Figure out how much counter space you have available as well as how many cubic feet of interior cooking space you are looking for. You want to make sure that there’s a nice spot for your new appliance in your kitchen and that it’s big enough to fit whatever you’d like to cook so you can get everything ready to eat at once....

RELATED: Best Baby Carriers for Dad Do your part by donating to your favorite politician, whether it be Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Marco Rubio, Bernie Sanders, or Ted Cruz, and turn your baby into a stumbling advertisement while you’re at it. Trump Pacifier Listen, this pacifier is great. Babies, they love this pacifier. And if those losers in the sandbox deny its greatness, they’re weak on immigration. Also, this particular binky has The Donald’s face on it so the message you’re sending out is “my baby wants to Make America Great Again” not “This billionaire is a giant baby....

And the action doesn’t stop there. Teachers like Lisa Sackman in the sixth-grade wing offer “brain breaks” every 20 minutes. Teacher Travis Olsen has an exercise bike in the back of his seventh-grade science classroom that kids are welcome to use whenever they feel the need. And eighth-grade co-teachers Abby Jolma and Toni Giebel let kids sit on wobbly chairs — short stools with a curved base — yoga balls, or traditional chairs while they learn math and science....

Yesterday, the White House issued a proclamation recognizing the 100-year anniversary of the Tulsa Massacre. “We honor the legacy of the Greenwood community, and of Black Wall Street, by reaffirming our commitment to advance racial justice through the whole of our government, and working to root out systemic racism from our laws, our policies, and our hearts,” it read in part. Biden will also travel to Tulsa today, giving a speech on the anniversary of a particularly gruesome, violent, and devastating demonstration of American white supremacy to advocate for policies meant to ameliorate the effects of other forms of systemic racism, like the racial wealth gap....

You lived and worked in Manhattan in the 1980s. How aware of Halston were you? Did you ever cross paths?I got there in ’81. At some point I lived on Avenue A, so I was up the street from Andy Warhol’s little pad at about A and Seventh, I think it was. We’d see parties, but I was basically living on dollar pizza slices and trying to find my way....

This research, conducted by a team of Chinese scientists, adds to the record experimental evidence of a phenomenon that’s been observed around the world, from a Belgian housecat to the big cats at the Bronx Zoo, that cats can contract the disease. Researchers attempted to infect these various species by introducing viral particles via the nose. Antibody tests showed that cats and ferrets were the most likely to contract the disease and that cats could infect each other via respiratory droplets....

“Before there was a chicken pox vaccine, which was introduced in 1995, every year in this country there would be a few million cases in children under 15,” explains Paul Offit, M.D., director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. “There would be 10,000 hospitalizations and roughly 100 deaths. Of those 100 deaths, 70 would occur in perfectly healthy children.” How Chicken Pox Can Be Fatal to Kids Chickenpox deaths have plummeted since the development and broad deployment of the vaccine....

With their cute crayons and bullshit mazes, connect-the-dots and word searches, kids menus provide a predictable diversion and a way to opt out of a shared experience. No matter how refined the adult cuisine or how innovative–regardless of the chef’s provenance or the kitchen’s expertise–the children’s menu offers the same standardized and unchallenging fare of fried/bland “classics.” Chefs will tell you they feel pressured to offer a children’s menu to appear more “kid-friendly....

To catch you up, on July 1, Captain America star Chris Evans shared a random thought on Twitter. “If Christian Slater from 1989 walked into the room, and I had never heard his name before and had to guess what it was just from what he looked like, I would guess ‘Christian Slater,’” he tweeted. There was no context why this popped into his head, and he felt the need to share it....

Last month, Rebecca Mix took to Twitter to share a story about her dad. “My dad has been laid off due to COVID, and now that he’s vaccinated, he’s itching to go back to work,” she tweeted on May 6. “So I told him I’d help him with his resume. I asked him where he wants to work, and he said, SO earnestly, ‘Costco seems like a nice place’ I’m gonna cry....

Two years ago, most families wouldn’t have dreamed of pulling their kids out of school. But nearly 38 million COVID cases later, the safety of schools in the U.S. is hardly a guarantee. Data from last school year suggests that schools are not a major site of transmission, particularly when precautions are in place. But with precautions like masks waning and the Omicron variant on the loose, it only makes sense to be worried for young kids who aren’t yet eligible to get the COVID vaccine....

For the study, published last month by the American Chemical Society, researchers examined semen samples from 10 healthy men and 17 men who had been diagnosed with and recovered from COVID. The men ranged in age from 20 to 45, and none of them had a history of infertility. The team found that sperm from the men who had recovered from COVID had decreased motility and count. They also had an increase in abnormally shaped sperm compared to men who never had COVID....

It might help to recap Spears’ history with Federline and their children. (Apologies.) They were married briefly. They had kids. The court awarded sole custody of those kids to K-Fed after Britney was hospitalized for being high on an “unknown substance” during an incident in which she locked herself and her child in a room in her home. At the time, the young pop-star seemed relatively unstable and was given visitation rights designed to increase over time....
