It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."
 
New dating site launches for men with ‘dinky’ penises

Less-than-endowed men now have their own dating site where size really doesn’t matter.

Dinky One, a new matchmaking website, aims to combat penis-size pressure by helping those with smaller phalluses find love.

“Dinky One was created to help guys who are smaller than average,” founder David Minns tells The Post. “Smaller guys can use the site privately and date outside of their usual network. Everyone understands the situation in advance, allowing couples to focus on getting to know each other and dating.”

Those with a member smaller than 5.5 inches, the global average erect penis length, are defined as Dinky Ones and “are eligible to join,” the site says, boasting that “100% of the men on this site are less than average.”

The site claims it currently has over 27,000 members, with a ratio of 71 percent male to 27 percent female and 2 percent transgender.

“When you’re a smaller man dating is very complicated,” one anonymous user, aged 36, says in the site’s testimonials. “It’s therefore far better to date online with strangers and even better on a dedicated site such as Dinky One as everyone knows in advance.”

A second Dinky One fan says she simply prefers smaller schlongs.

“I find sex painful with a man bigger than four inches and in the past have had to resort to oral but miss that close intimacy of sex,” says the 28-year-old.

The site — which is not available as a mobile app — doesn’t require users to add photos and explicitly bans sharing nude images on the platform. Anonymous profiles are allowed, so long as an email address is given.

Dinky One debuts at a unique time for dating apps, with Tinder recently warning users that the deadly coronavirus is highly contagious — something to be aware of when trying to find love among strangers.
 

Here's another article about the same thing that more exhaustively talks about Britney's conservatorship issues and fans wanting her out of said conservatorship:

The controversial conservatorship of Britney Spears has returned to the spotlight after it was reported her time with her sons has been reduced under the new guidelines.
Britney's dad was appointed her conservator and made legally responsible for handling her finances and important life decisions.








It was implemented after the former teen star experienced several mental breakdowns in 2008 - including being committed to a psychiatric ward twice - and the conservatorship continues to remain in place 13 years later.
Under the arrangement, Britney has no legal control over her estate, or financial and personal assets.

Last week, the pop star was reported to be 'angry' after hearing custody of her two sons was being reduced from 50 to 30 per cent.
It came after her son Jayden accused his grandfather Jamie of assault and his father Kevin Federline obtained a restraining order against him.

Kevin then asked a judge to alter their previous shared arrangement, leaving Britney with less time with her boys, according to US Weekly.

In a fifteen minute live stream to Instagram , Jayden branded his grandfather Jamie a 'd***',
Jamie had been briefly suspended from his role as conservator in 2019 due to health problems, but was since been reinstated and has authority over Britney's finances and personal decisions.

Last year, fans came together to claim the arrangement was exploiting and manipulating Britney who should be back in control of her own decisions.
It became known as the #FreeBritney movement, which followers expressing their anger on social media and protesting outside of a Los Angeles courthouse, where a status hearing was held on the conservatorship.
Britney took to social media herself to insist she is fine and in control of her life. While those involved in the conservatorship say say she's very involved in the decision making.

“You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want!” she said in April.
Her attorney Stanton Stein, whom Jamie Spears hired after the #FreeBritney movement took off, denied the idea that the singer had been coerced in any way.
“She’s always involved in every career and business decision,” he said. “Period.”
Britney was always the one that came across to me as a good example of Hollywood mentality. Read a double-spread interview and she seems really all-in on her kids. Too bad she, as expected, turned out to be a white mom unable to tame her brat kids.

I will admit that I am a little concerned about her current man. Less shallow than the wigger and a good (physical) representation of the race, but even leaving any moral concerns aside he should have wifed her up and given her another kid or two rather than trying to be cool stepdad to the brats.

An ‘inebriated’ Gillum found with suspected overdose victim

By GARY FINEOUT | 03/13/2020 12:09 PM EDT | Updated 03/13/2020 01:12 PM EDT

TALLAHASSEE — Andrew Gillum, a Florida Democrat who narrowly lost a bid for governor in 2018, was found “inebriated” and vomiting in a hotel room with another man apparently experiencing a drug overdose, according to a police report.
The Miami Beach Police Department responded to an emergency call from the hotel room early Friday morning. Police impounded several clear plastic bags of what appeared to be crystal meth.

First responders provided treatment to Travis Dyson, age 30, who later was hospitalized. He is conscious and in stable condition, according to the report filed Friday.
Aldo Mejias, who had rented the room, told police he arrived at the hotel Thursday shortly before midnight to find Gillum and Dyson “under the influence of an unknown substance,” according to the police report.
Mejias saw Gillum throwing up. Dyson was having difficulty breathing and also began vomiting, prompting Mejias to call for help.
Police said Gillum was unable to speak to them because of his “inebriated state,” according to the report. Gillum eventually left the hotel and returned to his residence.
Gillum said he had had too much to drink after a wedding.
 
A Chinese property tycoon is missing after criticizing Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak that originated in the country in December, the New York Times reported Saturday.
Ren Zhiqiang, known as “The Cannon,” in the past has been one of the most prominent critics of Xi. Saturday morning his friends reported him missing, according to the Times.
“We’re very worried about him,” Wang Ying, a retired entrepreneur and friend of Mr. Ren’s told the Times. “I will continue to look for him.”
His disappearance comes amid a campaign from the Chinese state to eliminate criticism of the government as the virus outbreak spread to infect 80,000 people in the country and killed 3,100.
As the virus took a biological and economic toll on China, citizens began to grow uneasy and critical of Xi’s response, which the administration quickly censored online.
In recent weeks, an essay Ren penned criticized Xi and the government for silencing whistleblowers and trying to hide the the effects of the rampant outbreak, which began in the city of Wuhan in December.
This was not the first time Ren has been on the Communist Party’s radar: In 2016, the party put Ren on a year’s probation for denouncing Xi’s propaganda policies in comments online. He has also reportedly previously been banned from leaving the country and forced to delete his social media accounts because of his frustration with the government's authoritarian policies.
Earlier this year, Li Wenliang, a doctor who spread messages warning people about the virus on the social media platform WeChat, was accused of making false statements by Chinese officials as the government sought to conceal the crisis. Li later died of the disease himself.

Some guy who criticized pooh bear is now missing. Probably had an "accident".
