Hasbro removing Trolls doll from stores after complaints of an inappropriately placed button – CBS News

Toymaker Hasbro says it is removing a Trolls doll from store shelves after people complained that a button on the doll is inappropriately placed under its skirt. The decision comes after an online petition was created urging stores to remove the "Trolls World Tour Giggle and Sing Poppy" doll.  The petition has massed nearly 300,000 signatures. "When you push this button on the doll's private she gasps and giggles. This is not okay for a child's toy!

Where Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick Stand After She Appeared to Call Him Her Husband – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Of all those in the Kardashian-Jenner circle, it is truly hard to keep up with Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick. After nine years of being off-and-on, the pair broke up in 2015 when Disick became entangled in a cheating scandal with an ex-girlfriend. They put their problems aside to build a healthy co-parenting relationship for their three kids: Mason, 10, Penelope, 8, and Reign, 5. But their unusually close bond often confuses fans and leads to rumors that there’s still something between them. The speculation only grew when Disick split from Sofia Richie and seemingly began to spend more and more time with Kardashian. The Poosh founder has also fueled rumors, most recently when she joked on social media that she had a husband. But according to sources, that’s ju...

Facing The Anxiety And Uncertainty Of This Pandemic, Starts With Acceptance : Shots – Health News – NPR

"You aren't going to have the year you thought you'd have." That's what a nurse told my wife and me after my wife was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. The cancer news came as a shock, as it often does. There were no warning signs. The tumor was picked up on a routine mammogram. It was a hard to take in what the nurse was telling us. We had plans and projects and dreams for the months ahead. Then suddenly – surgery, chemotherapy and radiation were the top items on our agenda. We were mad. How dare cancer interfere? I was reminded of our year of cancer when the pandemic was declared. Like many people around the world, I thought, well, there's an outbreak in China but it won't happen to us. Which ...
