Kira is pregnant. Both Nia and Kalani come off as prepared for an S6 if there is one from their interviews on YouTube from the ALDC LA grand opening. Payton, taught a very long Hip Hop class as part of the grand opening. Seems to me that nobody is moving anywhere, but we shall see.

Maddie or Chloe beating tWitch? I will be shocked.

Here's the Daily Mail link.

Ya know, when my kids were little KidzBop was a big deal, is it anymore? They were always on heavy rotation on Radio Disney, ha, does that still exist?

It was the magician piece a couple weeks ago. I thought it might have been the tuxedo like costume, but nope, it wasn't, last night Gianna called her out on her shoulders in a way that indicated it's been an ongoing correction. I never noticed it before, I'm not sure why.

Generally speaking, Holly gives the appearance of getting more foolish by the season. But maybe she sees it as being sly as a fox, I sure wouldn't allow my child to be exposed to these shenanigans. That said, the meeting with CoCo Jones looked like fun and a positive experience for Nia.

It's a shame that vicious internet trolls have to dilute the message that Whoopi is getting to the extent that she thinks she can just roll all opposition to her "View" into one homogeneous ball of hate, because I'm pretty sure that's not the case as illustrated in our group. Whoopster, you should really wake up and smell the weed, because folks really take issue with this bullshit you spew.

Mack, Kalani and Maddie all came in first overall, Nia came in second in Teen and I think Kendall was 3rd in Junior. The pigtails do need to go!

This applies to the Whoopi finger shaking as well. STFU Goldberg, we don't care about your ill-advised opinion.

Bottom line, lol, is my boobtube is tuned to ABC right now when it hasn't been for months. I guess disgusting Whoopi is "making sparks"!

Seems to me that's always her excuse for anyone that she defends in a ridiculous way. Has she ever gone this far out on a limb for a female stah that was in trouble? I can't recall an example of it.

Yup. I think she's officially fucking stepped in it, once again. I can have empathy with her perspective from time to time, but when the deposition comes out and it's in Cosby's own words, it's time to move on in the process from denial. It's so weird, it's like she's a white male. She sure is tapped into the idea of patriarchy.

I keep pondering why so many weeks are "Kendall's week". Her video "tease" was almost the whole thing and was available way before Nia's, and why was there so much time between that and the single's "availability" on iTunes? That sounds like bad management to me. Anyways, I'm sick and tired of Jill's whining. Holly advocating for Nia does not take away from Kendall on iTunes, it's really that simple. So we need to take bets about who will be "done" and walk out next week, lol. Mackenzie and Kendall got the poop stick for choreography but now I can't un-see or un-hear Kendall's hunchy shoulder earrings. Melissa, Melissa, Melissa. If two or three people including your daughter that placed first overall anyways tell you that she faltered, accept it. I know I missed things all the time watching my dancer live the first time that were bloody obvious when I got the video.

I think they are forbidden from taping at almost every single "legitimate" competition. IIRC we've only seen one non-invitational competition this season (I could be wrong) and then there were the references to jump but no actual taping at the convention. (I think it was a Starbound, which may have changed but when I was active on a certain board years ago, had an awful, awful reputation.) They manipulated results so badly the first season that most of them told them to take a hike. I also think they got exposed for cheating too - they were in the "intermediate" division a couple times, which was a complete falsehood.

As an aside, all through the interviews, all of the Duggars referred to DHS and not DCFS, probably intentionally to minimize.

Speaking of gold diggers that use children to ace the deal, RosieO put her NJ home on the market.

It shouldn't be, with Barnard, Columbia and NYU all in the confines of NYC and many other top schools very close by. I don't agree with much of the above, and the show is now under the News division and has been since last fall.

Hypothetically, and it's all that just now because Bernie is coming on strong - in 12 months are we going to continue to hear Joe go on and on and on and on about Secretary Clinton's emails?

That's why I was just fine with Whoopi bringing up abortion the way she did. Xtians often want to hide behind the Constitution when it's convenient, but the state law is relevant here, in Oregon, sexual orientation is a protected class just like religion. Nobody is attacking Xtian's religious freedom, but Xtians want to tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, and it's not just abortion. As Nicolle pointed out, now your boss can deny you birth control in your insurance thanks to the Hobby Lobby SCOTUS decision. $135k is an outrageous fine though.

Lemons, my daughter agrees with you - she thinks all these "contemporary" routines look like rhythmic gymnastics. What I do appreciate though, and this seems to run all the way through competitive dance, is the trend away from uber blinged out costumes. I really took note of it last week when I was watching Larkin's group dances that were put up from TDA, they used to always have costumes that easily cost over $400 because of all the stoning. Only problem is, why couldn't it have been that way when the costumes were on my dime? lol Pretty sure that my daughter has the leo that Tate is wearing, or something really similar.

That would be neat! My first post postpartum nurse was sooo bad, I delivered at 9:20 pm and was out by 12:45 pm the next day. She was militant and I was in no mood!

So far Whoopi is 0 and 1. I'm glad she went there with Candace on abortion, and we knew how she'd be about Cosby. I'm watching this crap y'all, what's wrong with me? eta: Is Candace in the running for a rotating co-host position? I freaking hate her with the burning passion of 10,000 suns.

Skittl1321 - they can't and I'm glad she was honest with you. Baby Number 1 - 2 Epidurals, 2nd one was too close to delivery and the nurses had to move my legs around and tell me when to push, I couldn't feel a damn thing. Baby Number 2 - 1 Epidural perfectly timed, and I could move about - as far as delivery "feeling" it just felt like burning and I could feel when to push and all that.

From the experience side of the mommy wars... with all the best intentions I went into my first delivery planning no meds Lamaze - that went out the window when my water broke 3 weeks early and the back labor kicked in and they used an internal fetal monitor, at that point I felt like everything was going "wrong" and then my mother quietly talked to me and said "there is nothing going wrong you are bringing my first grandchild into the world and whatever makes you comfortable and brings me that grandchild is good". I was petrified of an epidural, but so relieved when I received it. She didn't want to latch either, but we got there eventually after much frustration for both of us. I sort of regret my son's circumcision because it wasn't done quite right and he has a tag of skin left that isn't helpful, and we had discussed it for a long time ahead of time, me against it, my spouse for it. I would never judge any woman's decisions on these topics, it's all just so personal, and stuff happens no matter how much you plan. So happy for you MIndy, Congrats! And what a great opportunity for all of you, Seashell Lover, have a wonderful time! I hope you get the perfect birthday induction date Pixie!

Emma's a beautiful dancer that doesn't pull attention? Just a theory. Actually it's probably because Maddie had just been on practically the week before. I think it's really strange that Maddie competed that solo for best dancer, maybe for final solo - but something that's aired on teevee? Hmmm...
