Chris Brown Going To Great Lengths To Not Lose Custody Of His Daughter According to TMZ, Chris Brown is really beefing up his security force and putting his entourage, dancers, and crew on notice: "NO screw-ups on tour ... or else." Sources close to Chris tell TMZ he's hired 5 new bodyguards to shadow him during his "One Hell of a Nite" tour. One of the guards will reportedly be eyeballing his money and his jewelry at all times, and there will be NO backstage access for anyone, unless they know Chris. Apparently, he's doing all of this because he's fighting for joint custody of his daughter, Royalty and fears that her mother, Nia Guzman, will use any missteps against him when they meet in court in 2 weeks. Chris wants to make sure there are no more robberies or violent incidents and he's so serious about keeping things clean, he's told his dancers and entourage they'll be sent home if anyone acts out.

The Breastfeeding Corner Breastfeeding Program Administrator, Vegetarian cook, and a professional tennis fanatic! September is Childhood Cancer and Ovarian Cancer awareness month. Cancer is the leading cause of death among U.S. children between infancy and 15 years of age. Leukemia, a cancer of blood cells, accounts for about 30% of all childhood cancers; making it the most common of childhood cancers. Researchers are not sure how breastfeeding might protect children from leukemia, but said that breast-milk may influence the development of the infant's immune system. Research has shown that breast-fed babies have more natural-killer cells, a type of immune cell that targets and destroys cancer cells, than children fed with formula. Studies also found that babies breast-fed for at least six months appear to have a 19% lower risk of childhood leukemia compared to children who were never breast-fed or were breast-fed for fewer months. Similar to childhood cancer, ovarian cancer risk is 24% lower in women who have ever breastfeed, versus those who have never done so; risk decreases further with longer breastfeeding duration. In the U.S, ovarian cancer is only the 9th most prevalent cancer in women, but the 5th leading cause of cancer death for women. Part of the reason the cancer is so deadly is that spotting the cancer is quite rare. Unfortunately, only 20% of ovarian tumors are caught early. However, it is believed that breastfeeding helps prevent ovarian cancer because it can delay ovulation. Researchers believe that the more ovulation occurs, the greater the risk of cell mutation which can trigger the disease. At Curtin University in Australia, a study found that women who breastfed for more than 13 months, were 63% less likely to develop an ovarian tumor than women who breastfeed for less than 7 months. They also found that mothers who breastfeed three children and who breastfeed over 31 months were up to 91% less likely to suffer from ovarian cancer than women who breastfeed for under 10 months. The old adage: "An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure," was never more relevant than with breastfeeding and fighting cancer. Let's decrease the risk of these killers by protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding.

THE BLOG Strength is Sexy What's sexy today? How do you achieve strength? Do you have courage? I see strength in the news today and boy is it sexy. Use this blog entry to heat up your love life. I'm talking about having an aha moment around the courage to have straight talk, people. Let me explain. In recent news, Tennis pro Serena Williams aims to equal Steffi Graf's record and undefeated bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey accepts an invite to Marine Corps Ball. In my opinion, these women are the epitome of what strength and sexy are today. They not only maintain strong bodies, but are focused, committed straight talkers on a mission. Are you? Strong? Sexy? A straight talker? I assert they're connected. Take note of how society defines values like strength. Or sexy. Ponder how society shapes us and the values we pursue. Then share with others. If you're seeking a public platform for yourself, share your sound bites, stories and ideas also with media friends. Evaluate how people pursue strength or intimacy for themselves. I did that in my most recent YouTube vlog entry, "Sharing is caring," where I talk about how I arrive at my own sense of strength (I use Spinning, Spartan Races) and why I pursue sharing with another person as an avenue toward intimacy. In fact, sharing with at least three other people this week what I hope to accomplish the next three months is in fact my homework from a new Landmark seminar called "Breakthroughs, Living Outside the Box" I started last week. I was not only inspired to create the video from my seminar homework, but also after reading a blog Reuters recently published by Lynn Stuart Parramore entitled, "How capitalism turns love into addiction." It explores societal and historical influence on human addiction, love, connection and choice. Since the public hack, millions have evaluated the Ashley Madison adultery site and evidently there are more robots than women on the site. That's not a big surprise in the age of phishing. It's an example of how we've digitized our experience of love, or I should say sex and intimacy. Parramore's view on how capitalism, love and addiction are entwined fascinates me. She may be right in her analysis of capitalism. However, no matter how society conditions you, I believe the main path to personal and relationship strength is courage and the ability to talk straight. In other words, when you're having a one-on-one conversation with a loved one in your life, do you say what there is to say or do you hide behind small talk regarding the weather, your house or current events? Related Articles Boss Lady Serena Williams Has Zero Time For Body-Shamers Maria Sharapova Encourages Female Athletes To Continue To Push For Equality U.S. Open Women's Final Sells Out Before Men's Final For First Time Serena Williams Has The Perfect Response To Maria Sharapova Endorsement Gap Serena Williams Sings 'Under The Sea,' Slays Karaoke Set Rousey and Williams look strong. We can all look strong. What matters is the courage to be strong when challenging conversations arise in relationships. How do you experience intimacy - true intimacy with another one-on-one? Whether it's a lover, a mother or a friend, do you have the courage to knock out lies? To backhand BS? To put a choke-hold on made-up stories about another? You know what I mean. So many people are afraid to have a straight conversation with their spouse about the dishes in the sink and then over time, their inability to communicate can lead to division, separation and then divorce. What if we did our daily workouts with communication like Rousey and Williams work out at the gym? Could we then draw intimacy to us? Talking about the dishes in the sink may seem like a mundane task, however, do you have the courage to speak up about what's important to you? Speaking straight takes courage. It takes strength. That's sexy. That's real intimacy. Share with others - especially media friends who influence many - what you think makes up real intimacy, courage and strength.Then we'll all benefit from your insights. Have the strength to share.

Dikembe Mutombo Looked Like The Happiest Man On Earth After Hawks Announced His Number Retirement The team's surprise announcement brought out Mutombo's massive smile. MOSES ROBINSON VIA GETTY IMAGES Making Dikembe Mutombo happy is a universally good thing. A wildly philanthropic man with a huge heart, Mutombo was once named the most generous athlete in the world by Fox Sports. His relationship with society is purely symbiotic -- a rarity today, but one that deserves all the recognition available. So when Sept. 1 was declared “Dikembe Mutombo Day” in Fulton County, Georgia, it was, undoubtedly, a better day for all. As the day went on, it only got better. On Tuesday night in Atlanta, at a ceremony for Mutombo's day, the Atlanta Hawks upped the ante. With an unsuspecting Mutombo in the audience, Hawks CEO Steve Koonin made a surprise announcement that his No. 55 would be retired and raised to the rafters at Phillips Arena during a nationally televised game against the Boston Celtics on Nov. 24.

ENTERTAINMENT 'The Bastard Executioner': Inside Kurt Sutter's Bloody New Show The man behind "Sons of Anarchy" returns with a violent historical drama -- and heads are literally going to roll. 51 minutes ago Noel Murray Rolling Stone OLLI UPTON/FX The following article if provided by Rolling Stone. Kurt Sutter would like to get something off his chest. The showrunner behind the wildly successful, dearly beloved, bad-ass Shakespearean biker melodrama Sons of Anarchy knows that yes, because his new FX historical epic The Bastard Executioner has swords and horses and castles, some people are bound to compare it to Game of Thrones. He's perfectly okay with that. In fact, he can even see the parallels himself. HBO's show is constrained by the novels it's adapting, he mentions. "And we're like that with actual history," Sutter proclaims. By the end of his latest project's two-hour debut episode — premiering Tuesday, September 15th — the bodies of 14th-century peasants have been flayed, gutted, and decapitated, all at the mercy of wealthy landowners who sometimes decide their fate while grunting on the privy. (And all without a single dragon in sight.) In other words, there is no mistaking that this is a Kurt Sutter show — one with hard edges, flying viscera, and a fascination with men who feel cursed by their responsibilities. It bears the signature of an artist who spent seven years as the head writer and producer of a series that featured tattoo removal by branding, eye-gouging, and a convict forcibly severing his own tongue — played by none other than Sutter himself. 20 Best TV Shows of 2015 So Far The two shows even share somewhat similar origins. Sons of Anarchy was born when Art and John Linson brought Sutter a rough pitch for a series about outlaw motorcycle clubs, which he then fleshed out into what some critics called "Hamlet in black leather." His new series, centered around a 14th-century soldier-turned-royal executioner (played by Australian theater actor Lee Jones), started when Imagine Entertainment honcho Brian Grazer became fascinated with the idea of a man who kills dispassionately, under the command of the justice system. At the time, Sutter was in preliminary talks with the network for a Sons spinoff, which may still happen, and had no intention of jumping right into another show. ("I needed a day off," he laughs.) But Grazer asked to meet, and his enthusiasm won him over. "He's, like, crazy in all the right directions," Sutter says. "I came out of that meeting going, 'Fuck, I want to be that guy.'" The showrunner took that sliver of a premise and started asking himself questions. What did he picture when he thought of an executioner? What era would it be? Why would someone take this job? Before long, he had the rough outline for a show, originally set in medieval England. Then a location-scouting trip to Wales led him to "Valleywood," a.k.a. Dragon Studios, a 100-acre lot roughly 20 miles outside of Cardiff, that had been established by the late Richard Attenborough to help foster Welsh movie and TV production. Sutter dove back into his research, moved the setting to Wales and began focusing on the years immediately after the reign of Edward I and the rebellion of Madog ap Llywelyn; and he named his reluctant hero Wilkin Brattle, a retired knight who begins the series living a bucolic farmer’s life with his pregnant wife. Within months of finishing SOA, Sutter was supervising 170 people, discussing the finer points of the damage a huge blade can do to the human body and making sure that heads were literally going to roll. Ever since then, Sutter has been shuttling between Wales and California, so that can work with his writers in Los Angeles "and make sure my kid remembers what I look like." But he'd also prefer to leave his Bastard Executioner team alone at Dragon, so that they're focused on their jobs and not reacting to him. During his run on Sons, Sutter developed a reputation as a smart, passionate, exacting boss. And thanks to his habit of firing vulgar insults at critics via social media — something he's been doing much less in recent years — he's sometimes pegged as having a sharp tongue and a short fuse. 20 Best 'Sons of Anarchy' Moments Sutter insists that he's really just a mild-mannered writer, happiest when he's "sitting alone in a room and using my imagination." But he knows he has a presence, and he tries to be careful with how he uses it. "I drop by to approve designs and sign off on shit. But y'know, no one likes when Dad's looking over their shoulders." Instead he spends long, late nights locked away in his office, fighting to forge his own version of the Middle Ages, while his cast and crew slog through pouring rain and knee-deep mud. Paris Barclay, who directed the premiere and serves as co-executive producer, describes the job as "the most difficult thing I’ve ever done." The multi-Emmy-winner buried himself in historical research, and watched a lot of movies, looking for cues to how to get what he wanted (something akin to Japanese martial arts epics), and how to avoid what he didn't (anything resembling A Knight's Tale or 300). "We knew we didn’t want it to be precious," Barclay says. "We wanted a Kurt Sutter experience, which means grittier, more immersive. We wanted the costumes to drag in the dirt. We wanted the fighting to seem un-choreographed, as much as possible. We wanted it to be more real, and more on-the-ground than we’re used to seeing on television. And all of that ended up being much more difficult to execute, if you will, than it was to talk about." TV's 22 Smartest People on Their Favorite Shows The director has worked with Sutter since the writer broke into the business as a contributor to The Shield, and their 15 years together represent the longest collaboration of Barclay's career. "It's the one that challenges me the most," he says. "Kurt is extremely specific about what he wants. More even than Aaron Sorkin [who Barclay worked with on The West Wing], who is specific about what is said, but not necessarily what is seen. For Kurt, it's the whole package." He adds, "In the end, it all boils down to the same thing: Great storytelling, characters you care about, and killing people in artful and original ways." And authenticity, which means writing dialogue that sounds as if it's been lifted directly from the 14th-century and hasn't been easy for any of the actors to learn. Katey Sagal, who plays the white-haired mystic healer Annora and has been married to Sutter for over a decade, admits that "we're all bumping up against it a little bit. Kurt is spending a lot of time with the vernacular, to make it not sound contemporary. It definitely takes you a minute to wrap your brain around a sentence." Barclay explains, “In 1311 they barely spoke what we know of as the English language or the Welsh language. The nobility actually spoke French. It's so complicated." How'd an Ex-Food Addict Create TV Smash 'Sons of Anarchy'? Sutter is also balancing the mythology, themes and overall narrative of The Bastard Executioner in his head without letting on what's right around the bend, story-wise, which has required his cast and crew to put their faith in him to a remarkable degree. "Every once in a while he’ll give me the broad strokes," she says. “But when he's in it? He’s just sort of in it. I don’t really know much more than any of the other actors what’s going on. Which is good." She says that the footage she's seen is stunning and mentions an afternoon recently where, in the middle of shooting, the rain started coming down in sheets; following Sutter's by-any-means-necessary work ethic, the crew just popped up umbrellas and kept rolling. "What can you do?" Sagal says. "You surrender yourself to what's around you." That pretty well describes Sutter's philosophy, too. He knows it's probably too late to change his fundamental way of working — solitary, sometimes too silent — and that "there's good and bad parts to that." FX has certainly had no complaints, given that Sons of Anarchy was the channel's highest-rated original series. Because of that, Sutter is the rare TV showrunner who can get by with only giving his network bosses rough story arcs, skipping the detailed episode-by-episode outlines that’s usually an essential part of being the man in charge. "They trust me enough to let me move forward," he says. 20 Best TV Spin-Offs And ultimately, if anyone wants to know why Sutter is making The Bastard Executioner, he'll mention that trust. Twice now, FX has connected him with producers who’ve whispered a notion into his ear that he’s turned into a complex world, built around his own ideas about honor, responsibility, and brokenness. "These opportunities are quite rare," Sutter explains. "When it comes around, you kind of have to grab it and run with it."
