Mothers Huge Mistake – 400 Pound Teen Son

Brian Karpf — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:44:01 +0000

An Orlando, Florida mother is catching heat from DCF for “allowing” her 13-year-old son to grow into a 400 pound behemoth. Assuming that Josiah Lewis weighed 15 pounds at birth, his mother Brenda’s feeding habits resulted in weight gain of about 30 pounds per year. That’s crazy. If this trend continues, he’ll weigh a ton by age 33.

The problem is, authorities are questioning how long the poor kid will live. He has both diabetes and high blood pressure, conditions which doctors say are life-threatening to him. As such, the Department of Children and Families has the power to remove Josiah from his home. They’re thinking of doing just that.

The mother’s excuse: she doesn’t know how to control him. She claims that she can’t get her morbidly obese son to take his medications or to stop eating. “He didn’t come with a manuscript or a guide,” says the mom. “I (have) just been working my way through.” Oh, you mean your kid didn’t come with an instruction manual such as “Motherhood for Dummies?” Where’d you get him, eBay? Get real lady.

Overweight Teen - 400 pound teenager Josiah Lewis

Is this a case of Munchausen by Proxy? Should Josiah be removed from his home, at least temporarily, so that he can lose weight and get his health back in order?

Celebrity Divorce – Sean Penn

Brian Karpf — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:12:58 +0000

Robin Wright Penn filed her petition for divorce last week in Marin County, California. According to the petition, its going to be an amicable and simple split: the parties have agreed to shared custody of their 16-year-old son Hopper Jack Penn, and have reached an agreement as to the division of their property. Their daughter, Dylan Francis, is 18. Over the course of their 12-year marriage, petitions for divorce were filed on 2 other occasions.

Of course Sean Penn has starred in a horde of flicks, including “I am Sam,” “Dead Man Walking,” and “Casualties of War.” Robin Wright Penn, however, is not stranger to Hollywood. You might remember her from “Forrest Gump” and “The Princess Bride.”

Nice to hear that the divorce will be easy. However, that’s what they all say. Let’s see what Robin does when she finds out that Sean has a new lady friend.

Latest Celebrity Split: Tracy Morgan

Brian Karpf — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 02:49:27 +0000

SNL Alum and star of “30 Rock” has filed for divorce from his wife of 23 years. This isn’t all that surprising, given that the pair have been separated for 8 years now. Morgan, who is only 41, is arguably at his prime. Given 30 Rock’s popularity, the guy’s banking. That’s probably why he has reportedly been strenuously playing the field, entertaining a new lady every couple of months.
