Katie Holmes Files for Divorce from Tom Cruise and Wants SOLE Custody!.... Wow

 Today I woke up to somewhat surprising news that Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are getting divorced. Some people may not find it that shocking but I am kind of surprised since there weren't any rumors flying around before it happened. It just kind of came out of nowhere. Well apparently Tom Cruise feels the same way since he is reportedly 'blindsided' by the divorce since Katie was the one to file. Another shocking revelation is that Katie has also asked for SOLE custody of Suri with primary residential custody! Now, I will admit I have never been a Tom Cruise fan because he simply seems weird and crazy and the whole Scientology thing is weird but sole custody? Unless he is actually an unfit father (which I highly doubt he is since he has two other children with Nicole Kidman and they seem to be fine) than she is just being a nasty bitch IMO. Of course all of this is just coming out so maybe she does have some legitimate reasons, but for now I am going off what I've heard. Apparently she doesn't want her Suri to be dragged into Scientology, but she knew very well Tom was a huge scientologist before she married him! What was she expecting?
What is with all these women using their children as weapons against their ex-lovers? Katie seems to be doing this just to hurt Tom because otherwise she would have applied for joint custody like most divorcing couples do.  Halle Berry is also a complete bitch in my eyes since she is trying to rip her daughter Nahla away from her ex, Gabriel Aubry, and move her across the world to France!!!!! These women clearly do not have their own childrens' best interests in mind because not being able to see your father is NOT in their best interest. Especially if the children are stuck in the middle and love both of their parents. Can you imagine the effect that has on a child?
My parents got divorced when I was very young so I don't remember any of that, but I was lucky enough to have parents who put my needs first before their own. My father made a huge effort to see me when he could and even seeing him as often as I did was not enough and hard for me, so I can't imagine having my father live across the world. Of course as a child you want your parents together and there all the time, and I really feel for these children who are stuck in the middle of their parent's divorce. Parent's need to do whatever they can to make their divorces as civil as possible when children are involved.
And that's my two cents.

Kris Jenner Gave Kim Kardashian Birth Control at 14... So What?

In a recent interview, Kim Kardashian admitted her mother, Kris Jenner, put her on birth control at the age of 14. This revelation has caused a lot of backlash for Kim, but more specifically her mother who has come under attack for her decision. Many people are calling her a bad parent for letting her child go on birth control at such a young age and are saying she should have just talked to Kim instead and told her not to have sex until she is older. Are you kidding me? Are people really that out of touch with their kids these days that they think just preaching abstinence will work?
 I'm not usually one to come to the defense of the Kardashians, but I think the fact that Kris Jenner is being attacked for this is ridiculous. Kim trusted her mother enough to go and tell her that she was feeling sexual and while many parents would be mortified by this news and just tell their kids sex is for grown ups and to wait, Kris did what I think all parents should do. She thought logically about the situation and realized that just talking to Kim about sex might not work, so she decided to go with a backup plan: birth control. Now it's not like Kris just went on the black market and picked some up for her daughter; she took Kim to the DOCTOR who also thought it was an okay decision and prescribed the drugs. Kris also has defended herself by saying she had of course also had the 'sex talk' with Kim prior to putting her on birth control and did not just put her on the pill and let her go off to have sex with anyone. The doctor also had a chat with Kim about sex and safety as well.
NEWS FLASH: Teenagers have sex whether you like it or not!!! Of course there are a select few who choose to wait, but wouldn't you rather know your child is protected if they do choose to have sex? I think I would sleep a lot better as a parent knowing at least my daughter won't come home pregnant. Being on birth control doesn't mean a teenager is going to go around having sex all the time now either. That is why it is still important to talk to them about the responsibilities of sex as well.
And that's my two cents.
