Jamie Foxx Has New Mystery Woman

Jamie Foxx took a break from a busy schedule to fit in a vacation right in the resort town of Cannes where many of his Hollywood peers are taking the region’s international film festival on the French Riviera.  He was spotted by photographers catching waves and sun rays with a mystery woman aboard a luxury yacht and on a speeding Jet Ski as she wrapped herself around his waist for safety.  Another image saw the two get close while on the vessel. At one point, Foxx appeared to lock lips with the blonde, who was donning a red bikini top. Foxx was seen in a white shirt and shorts along with a black cap, which he sported backward.  He also shared some visuals to his Instagram Stories. His daughter Corinne Foxx also made the trip.  “Sud de la France,” Foxx said in his Stories, which roughly translates to “South of France.”  Foxx and actress Katie Holmes split in August 2019 after six years together.

Alec Baldwin Speaks About Airport Fight

Alec Baldwin reacted to a now-viral video showing former NFL player Brendan Langley brutally beating up a United Airlines worker at a ticketing counter.  While Langley was later arrested for assault, the unnamed airline employee was hospitalized and ultimately terminated.  TMZ noted that the airline employee might have been the one to make the first move, but Baldwin disagreed in online statements.  He commented on the altercation, according to a post by the Instagram page the Shade Room, calling the United Airlines worker a “victim.” “The guy working at the airport is the victim. He came to work to do a job,” Baldwin wrote. “The other guy, with his big mouth, is guilty of workplace abuse, where people come to work with an expectation of safety, even civility. This a – – hole who hit this guy should be put on a no-fly list.”  Baldwin’s comments come after he accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his film “Rust.” New Mexico, the site of the filming, fined the movie production company to the tune of nearly $137,000, the maximum fine, for firearms safety failures.  People in the Shade Room’s comment section were quick to jab at Baldwin’s remarks, telling him to “sit this one out.”

Amber Heard Witness Gets Bad Reviews

Johnny Depp’s diehard fans are dragging one of Amber Heard’s witnesses online following Monday’s testimonies.  After practicing psychiatrist Dr. David R. Spiegel testified on behalf of Heard’s team against Depp, people began flooding his WebMD page with scathing one-star reviews.  Spiegel testified that Depp “has behaviors that are consistent with someone that both has substance-use disorder as well as behaviors of someone who is a perpetrator of intimate-partner violence.”  When Depp’s lawyers questioned just how Spiegel could be sure of his conclusions without having had contact with the 58-year-old movie star, the psychiatrist said he was denied.  After he testified, devout #JusticeforJohnnyDepp posters spammed Spiegel’s medical page with negative comments and reviews, calling him “unprofessional” and an “idiot.”  “Based on his crazy testimony and strange behavior during the Depp-Heard trial, I fear for any patient in his ‘care,’” wrote one hater. “A narcissist, a fraud and an arrogant idiot.” “Seems like you just wanted to be on TV. Rambled nonsense the entire time, dodged every question, extremely aggressive, ignorant, diagnosing people without even meeting them,” commented someone else. “Not to be mention calling Mr. Depp an ‘idiot.’”  Some reviews were screenshotted and posted to Twitter by NBC reporter Kat Tenbarge, which amassed nearly 25,000 likes on the platform, going viral.

Will Smith Says His Rap Career Was Too “Soft”

Will Smith opened up about his rap career and said he “hated” being called “soft” because he didn’t curse in his songs.  He spoke to David Letterman during an episode of “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction,” recorded before the infamous Oscars scandal.  Among the several topics discussed in the sit-down interview, Smith recalled his time as a member of the hip-hop duo, DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince.  The pair had a number of successful tracks after forming as a duo in 1984, with their five studio albums all proving to be massive hits.  “You and Jeff had humor to your music,” Letterman said.  “That was really our major distinguishing quality at the time,” Smith said in response. “It was comedy, it was punchlines, it was fun. We stood out in a really good way. We sort of had our own lane.”  Smith was asked if he faced any pressure to quit music, to which he said, “Not pressure as much as it was always that I was soft. I hated that, being called soft.”  He said the reason he didn’t curse was because of something his grandma said to him when he was 12.  After finding Smith’s rap lyric notebook which had some expletives in it, his grandmother wrote him a letter.  “Dear Willard, truly intelligent people do not have to use words like these to express themselves. Please show the world that you’re as smart as we think you are. Love, Gigi,” she wrote.  “That was the reason I never cursed in any of my records,” Smith told Letterman.
*******Let’s face it: his grandma was right!!
*******Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg’s songs were like audio porno!!

Thomas Markle May Have Suffered A Stroke

Meghan Markle‘s father might have suffered a stroke Monday night. Paramedics loaded Thomas Markle into the ambulance in Tijuana, strapped an oxygen mask to his face and transported him around 9:30 PM to a hospital across the border in Chula Vista, CA.  He was admitted after fearing he was suffering a stroke. Thomas couldn’t actually speak to paramedics, and had to write down his symptoms on a piece of paper.  He suffered 2 heart attacks right before her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.  That happened just as he was in a tense standoff with his daughter and the Royals because he’d staged pics of himself getting ready for the wedding and some people accused him of faking the medical crisis for sympathy.
********He’s faking it to get out of going to the Platinum Jubilee!!

Couple Convert Helicopter Into Camper

An Alabama couple who spotted the main body of a helicopter on Facebook Marketplace decided to buy the aircraft — and converted it into a camper.  Blake Morris and Maggie Morton, both U.S. Coast Guard helicopter pilots stationed in Mobile, saw the helicopter body for sale from a Florida man on Facebook Marketplace and started getting ideas.  Morris said he came up with the idea of converting the retired aircraft, which had formerly been used by German military police and the U.S. military, into a camper.  “I asked Maggie and luckily she was very supportive. I was expecting her to say I was crazy, but she actually said that’s a great idea,” Morris told WPMI-TV.  The couple started an Instagram account to document the process of building the “helicamper.”  The pair said they were even able to track down some photos of the helicopter being used in Germany.  “It went to the German military police first, then it got bought from there and used in Afghanistan with U.S. troops for a few years then in came here in about 2011 back in the states,” Morris said.  The helicamper now featured numerous amenities.  “Outdoor speakers, outdoor TV hook up, cable hook up … we’re not roughing it for sure. The TV swings around so you can watch that in bed or when you’re making food in the kitchen,” Morris said.  See the video HERE.

Last Payphone Removed From NYC

Officials held a ceremony Monday for removal of the last public pay phone stall in New York City.  The pay phone was removed with a crane from a sidewalk on 7th Ave. and 50th St. in Midtown Manhattan, just south of Times Square, marking what officials called “the end of the pay phone era.”  Officials said it was the last public pay phone in the city, but there are still privately owned pay phones and four permanent, full-length “Superman” phone booths.  The city began removing the pay phones in 2015 as they became obsolete and replacing them with public Wi-Fi hotspots.  Since then, the city has removed thousands of pay phones across all five boroughs.  In 2014, there were more than 6,000 active public pay telephones on city sidewalks, according to the city website. They were originally slated to be removed by 2020, but the process took longer than expected.

Florida Man Blows Up Mailbox

A Brevard County man is accused of blowing up the mailbox of a landscaping customer over a dispute about payment.  The county sheriff’s office arrested Petr Dusek, 29, on Friday.  Deputies said Dusek showed up at the home on First Street in Merritt Island Thursday evening to pick up payment for landscaping services from the previous owner of the home. However, the owner of the home said he had told Dusek to come to the house Friday before 2 p.m. because he would not be home until late. Dusek allegedly talked to the owner’s mother, who reiterated her son was not home. Witnesses said Dusek got back into his black SUV, drove down the road, turned around, put something in the mailbox and minutes later, it exploded, according to the arrest affidavit. Surveillance video from local homeowners corroborated the witness accounts.  Deputies said the explosion not only destroyed the mailbox — it bent a street sign next to the mailbox and threw shrapnel 50 feet from the detonation site.

Polk County Sheriff’s deputies have arrested a woman who allegedly threw a tantrum at a Florida McDonald’s because her order took too long.   Tianis Jones, 22, was arrested.  According to investigators, Jones got violent inside the restaurant last Thursday. She first hit a small plastic sign in the direction of an employee, then went behind the counter and threw cups on the floor and at workers.  Deputies say Jones was asked to leave several times and called 911 on her phone and told the operator, “I’m five months pregnant, these people don’t know how to run a mother***g McDonald’s!”  Surveillance video showed Jones at the restaurant exit, lifting her shirt to expose her belly, then she turned and began “twerking.”  Jones is facing charges for burglary with assault, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and misuse of 911.

11 Surprising Causes Of Butt Pain (And What To Do About Them)

HUFFINGTON POST

 

1. Gluteal Amnesia

Street name: dead butt syndrome, or DBS. “We experience DBS most commonly by prolonged sitting,” said Dallas Reynolds, a physical therapist at ATI Physical Therapy in Illinois. “When we sit for long periods of time, our hip flexors get tight, and glute muscles get weak and sleepy.”

This can cause pesky symptoms like soreness or numbness in your backside, along with hip pain and stiffness — symptoms you’ll most likely notice when trying to stand up after a lengthy sitting session.

One of the best ways to turn things around is to surround yourself with opportunities to sit for shorter lengths of time and switch up where you sit, both of which keep the muscles in your buttocks and lower back engaged.

You might do this by investing in a standing desk, setting a timer to remind yourself to get up and stretch every hour and sprinkling in to-do list tasks that require movement throughout your day instead of batching them together.

Reynolds also recommended establishing an exercise routine you can perform to stretch your hip flexors and activate your glute muscles to keep them healthy and strong. (Try these moves, courtesy of the Cleveland Clinic.)

“If after making these changes in your daily routine you see no change or your symptoms begin to worsen, you should check in with your doctor for a consult,” Reynolds said.

2. Sciatica

The sciatic nerve runs from your lower back, down through your buttocks and all the way to your feet.

“Sciatica is a term used to describe a radiating pain that runs along the path of the sciatic nerve and can be felt in the lower back, glute area and legs,” Reynolds said. “Sciatic pain is felt when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or inflamed, often from disc or spine issues, along with muscular dysfunction in the glute area.”

The pain that strikes can range anywhere from a mild ache to excruciating pain. It can also resemble a jolt or electric shock. Usually only one side of your body is affected, and things like coughing, sneezing and sitting for prolonged periods can make symptoms worse, according to the Mayo Clinic. You might experience numbness, tingling or muscle weakness, too, because of reduced nerve function.

“Nerve glide exercises are an effective way to mobilize the nerve and its ability to move more freely,” Reynolds said. “This will reduce irritation and should be performed often throughout the day.”

Mild sciatica usually goes away over time. “Check in with your doctor if you see no change or symptoms begin to worsen over time,” Reynolds said. “You should also seek medical attention immediately if you experience increased or sudden loss of leg strength or difficulty walking.”

3. Piriformis Syndrome

Piriformis syndrome is a condition in which the piriformis muscle (located behind your gluteus maximus) can become tight and irritated. “This can cause pain in the glute area and sciatica-type symptoms,” Reynolds said. “Sciatica isn’t always related to piriformis syndrome, but often piriformis syndrome can result in sciatica.”

The piriformis muscle sits over the top of the sciatic nerve, so if the muscle becomes irritated, it can press down on the sciatic nerve and cause glute pain, along with radiating pain down the leg. “You might also find symptoms worsen with prolonged sitting,” Reynolds said.

Getting into a stretching routine that helps reduce compression on the sciatic nerve can be a helpful pain relief strategy, as can the previously mentioned nerve glide exercises. You can also talk to your doctor about medications that can address inflammation and nerve-based symptoms. And if these changes don’t make a difference or symptoms get worse, you know the drill.

4. Bursitis

Bursitis in the hip is when the bursa sac ― the fluid sac that reduces friction between the moving part of our joints ― becomes inflamed. Though bursitis may be caused by trauma, infection or sustained pressure on the bursa, it’s most commonly associated with overuse or repetitive or strenuous activity.

“What’s usually happening is certain muscles of the hip are tight and others are weak,” Reynolds said. “This imbalance causes more pressure and friction on the bursa than what it’s built for and results in irritation and inflammation.” The result? Pain surrounding the bursa, often including the gluteal muscles in the area.

Along with pain in the glute area, you may experience warmth, tenderness and swelling, “mostly on the outside, bony part of the hip,” Reynolds said.

The best first step to relieving this particular brand of butt pain is stopping or modifying the activity that’s causing the bursitis and focusing on pain management and inflammation reduction, such as applying ice or popping an NSAID pain reliever. (“Always check with your health care provider before beginning any new medication,” Reynolds said.)

As the pain starts to subside, slowly reintroduce activities and gauge the body’s response. “This could include starting with a walking routine with the addition of a light stretching and strengthening routine,” Reynolds said. “The focus here would be to address recovery from the current bursitis episode and prevent future episodes.”

5. Hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels that form on the anus and rectum, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. There are two types: internal and external, with external usually the culprit for hemorrhoid-related butt pain.

“External hemorrhoids are very obvious — they can easily be seen and felt on the outside of the anus,” said Dr. Stephanie Pannell, a colorectal surgeon and assistant professor of surgery at the University of Toledo. “They’re usually painful for a few days and slowly resolve over the next week or two.”

Hemorrhoids usually go away on their own, but, in the meantime, over-the-counter hemorrhoid creams can offer relief. So does sitting in a tub of warm water.

Internal hemorrhoids are usually caused by spending too much time on the toilet, whether from diarrhea or constipation, so they can be more of a long-term issue. “If they’re bleeding, you should be evaluated by a physician,” Pannell said. “Any type of rectal bleeding needs to be seen by a physician.”

6. Anal Fissures

Anal fissures are small tears in the tissues surrounding the anus. They usually happen as a result of passing a large, hardened stool and overstretching the anal opening.

“Patients describe anal fissures as feeling severe pain with bowel movements and possibly seeing small streaks of blood on the toilet paper,” Pannell said.

To top it off, the anal sphincter will contract once the skin is irritated on the outside. “This is an involuntary muscle, so even with bowel movements, the muscle will not relax,” Pannell said. “It makes the tear larger and bowel movements very painful.”

Anal fissures typically heal on their own and don’t require treatment. Things like upping your fiber and water intake and using stool softeners can be helpful in preventing them — but if yours won’t quit or they happen frequently, treatment is best done by your physician, who can also make sure they’re not caused by an underlying condition, such as Crohn’s disease.

7. Anal Abscesses

“Anal abscesses are very painful and usually present as a hard, sometimes red, tender area around the anus,” Pannell said. Fever is another common symptom. Rectal bleeding and trouble peeing — such as trouble initiating a urinary stream or painful urination — may also be present, according to the American Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons, or ASCRS.

In most cases, treatment of an anal abscess involves surgical drainage. Your doctor will make an incision to drain the infection, with the end goal to ease the pressure and let the tissue heal. This can either be done at your doctor’s office or in an operating room if the infection is more severe.

8. Levator Ani Syndrome

Levator ani are the deep pelvic floor muscles, with levator ani syndrome referring to when these muscles are too tight and poorly coordinated (you have difficulty with things like contracting and relaxing them).

You might experience episodic pain and pressure in the rectum, lower spine or tailbone that lasts for hours or days. The pain usually feels dull or achy and may feel worse when sitting or lying down, according to the ASCRS.

“Immediate relief can be found with NSAIDs or more natural options like arnica montana and by applying heat or ice to the area,” Shipley said. “However, this pain can come on very suddenly, and if you’re on a call or in a meeting, you can’t always grab an ice pack to sit on.”

A pelvic physical therapist can do a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause of the pain (levator ani syndrome is considered a diagnosis of exclusion) to help alleviate your symptoms. Massage with a combination of heat and muscle relaxants has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms in up to 90% of patients, according to the ASCRS.

9. Proctalgia Fugax

“Proctalgia fugax is just a fancy term that means sharp, painful spasms in the anus and rectum,” Shipley said. It may be diagnosed after a careful history and a thorough examination has been performed to rule out more serious causes of rectal pain.

Muscle relaxants may provide some relief from the intermittent discomfort, but ultimately treatment by a pelvic physical therapist is best to help alleviate your current pain and teach you how to minimize future flare-ups.

10. Menstruation

Some people who menstruate experience severe cramps that can cause pain in the rectum.

“When the uterus contracts to expel menstrual tissue, it can cause adjacent nerves to activate and cause pain in what most consider unusual areas,” said Dr. Jennifer Roelands, an OB-GYN in Missouri. (This can happen with sex as well, she added: “Irritating the pelvic floor can cause spasms of these nerves, leading to severe pain in the pelvis, including the rectum, a condition called vaginismus.”)

There’s also endometriosis, a condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus (the same tissue that sheds during your period) grows outside of it — any tissue growth that happens behind the uterus can often cause rectal pain, Roelands said.

Endo pain is often accompanied by bloating, moodiness, irregular periods, infertility and sometimes digestive issues.

“If you have butt pain that seems associated with the same time in your cycle, get evaluated by a doctor for endometriosis,” Roelands said. “There are a variety of natural, prescription and surgical treatments available, but a proper exam and diagnosis need to happen first.”

11. Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are masses that grow in the wall of the uterus. They can be as small as a grain of rice or as large as a grapefruit, with larger fibroids causing butt pain by pressing on the rectum or pelvic nerves.

“Associated symptoms include heavy, painful — and sometimes irregular —periods,” Roelands said. “Treatment is often surgical but requires an exam, ultrasound and discussion of the right treatment options with your doctor.”
