Disney’s The Little Mermaid star Melissa McCarthy had a starring role at Sunday’s West Hollywood Pride Parade where some participants engaged in explicit BDSM sex acts in full view of the public. One report claimed that children were present on the parade route where the BDSM activity took place. On Sunday, Melissa McCarthy wore a headpiece with the words “Say Gay” as she rode her own float during the parade, which took over a large section of Santa Monica Boulevard running through the heart of West Hollywood. Her headpiece was apparently a reference to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law,...

VIDEO These are very painful video clips of Mike Bloomberg awkwardly trying to act cool as a singing mermaid, a male Mary Poppins, and absurdly displaying a total lack of expertise on subjects such as guns and agriculture. After viewing these examples of Bloomberg's very dull personality that he laughably tries to make relatable, you will agree that he definitely needs to buy a new personality.

This past weekend Michelle Obama was spotted wearing a gorgeous gown that left many people smiling. During the 2019 American Portrait Gala, she sported a yellow dress topped with a sparkling corset-style overlay. Obama also stunned with soft sultry wavy hair to complete the look. She wore it to present Lin-Manuel Miranda with the Portrait of a Nation Prize, and posted a photo of them together on Instagram. "So proud to present my friend Lin-Manuel Miranda with the Portrait of a Nation Prize at the National Portrait Gallery," she wrote in her caption. "He's someone who has, in melody and...

VIDEO This video is from four years ago when my niece , Genesis, who was age 6 at the time became and instant mermaid. Only a couple of weeks previous to this video did she learn how to swim. I taught her, not so much the technique of how to swim but really to not be afraid of the water. As soon as she lost that fear she immediately became a very good swimmer. I then got her a mermaid tail and told her how to swim in the water with it based on what I saw on the web....

Bre Kidman, a Saco, ME attorney who enjoys spending weekends dressed as a "queer feminist mermaid" and splashing around in kiddie pools filled with glitter, recently announced a campaign run for the Maine Democratic Senate nomination in hopes of unseating incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. According to Steve Collins of the Sun Journal, "Kidman said they have been fat since they were 7, gay since age 10 and figuring out what it all means ever since." The attorney does not use traditional gender pronouns, Kidman instead asks people to use "they/them" as pronouns. “Like all other politicians, whether or not they want...

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. -- A woman was found near Table Mountain, California on Tuesday morning, and she doesn’t seem to know who she is, the Fresno Police Department said. “She was wet, she said she had been in the lake, said she needed help and needed to be taken to the hospital,” said Fresno Police. The woman was found about 3:15 a.m. walking in the middle of the street. When she was found, her hair was wet, and she was mostly naked. She told officers she had been in the water. She answers, “I don’t know” to most questions, police...

This VIDEO of my 6 year old niece, Genesis the Mermaid, proves that swimming is 99% mental. As recently as this past May, she could barely swim. Years ago I tried to teach her older brother, Kenneth, how to swim at age 8 but it didn't work out too well. He didn't really learn to swim until he was at least 12. Therefore, I took a completely different tactic with Genesis. First of all, I only barely showed her the swim strokes. Instead I worked on her mind by getting her comfortable with being underwater to show it was no...

Locals and tourists in the Israeli town of Kiryat Yam have been flocking to the coast in hopes of glimpsing a creature that most people believe only exist in fairy tales. An alleged mermaid, said to resemble a cross between a fish and a young girl, only appears at sunset. It performs a few tricks for onlookers before disappearing for the night. One of the first people to see the mermaid, Shlomo Cohen, said, "I was with friends when suddenly we saw a woman laying on the sand in a weird way. At first I thought she was just another...

The United States government has assured its citizens that, much like zombies, mermaids probably do not exist, saying in an official post: “No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found.” “Mermaids — those half-human, half-fish sirens of the sea — are legendary sea creatures,” read the online statement from the National Ocean Service (NOS). The agency, charged with responding to natural hazards, received letters inquiring about the existence of the sea maidens after the Discovery Channel’s Animal Planet network broadcast “Mermaids: The Body Found” in May. The show “paints a wildly convincing picture of the existence of mermaids, what...

#mermaids are real, you are closed minded if you think something like that couldn't exist. 🌺🌊— Miranda Comisky (@mirandakittyy) May 27, 2013

What's that in the water? A fish? Dolphin? Nope! It's Eric Ducharme — the subject of TLC's My Crazy Obsession. Can you guess what his "crazy obsession" is? If you guessed "being a mermaid," you'd be right!

No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found. Mermaids — those half-human, half-fish sirens of the sea — are legendary sea creatures chronicled in maritime cultures since time immemorial. The ancient Greek epic poet Homer wrote of them in The Odyssey. In the ancient Far East, mermaids were the wives of powerful sea-dragons, and served as trusted messengers between their spouses and the emperors on land. The aboriginal people of Australia call mermaids yawkyawks – a name that may refer to their mesmerizing songs. The belief in mermaids may have arisen at the very dawn of our species. Magical...

In the two-hour CGI Special “Mermaids: The Body Found,” Animal Planet dives deep into the idea that mermaids may have been real, and, even better -- related to humans! “It’s a very radical theory on human evolution, but we have approached an age-old myth and really chased its origins,” Animal Planet honcho Charlie Foley told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column. “It has been compiled in a way that is very compelling, making us think that mermaids might not just be mythical creatures.” The show unravels mysterious underwater sound recordings and presents a bone-chilling argument for the Aquatic Ape Theory, which suggests...

About a year ago, the Brady Campaign warned that “gun rights” activists were converging on Washington, D.C., seething with threats of right-wing violence. Of course, the Brady Campaign rejected the “bumper sticker logic” of the gun lobby. The gun control group called for a new reality-based discussion of guns and violence. Someone at the Brady Center wrote a book titled “Lethal Logic: Exploding the Myths that Paralyze American Gun Policy.” The author dissected the superficial appeal of bumper sticker logic (e.g., when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns). While I don’t normally display bumper stickers, I am convinced...

BLANTYRE, Malawi (Reuters) - Hundreds of angry Malawians hounded a senior political figure from his house and stoned him late Wednesday, accusing him of harboring vampires. Blantire Urban Governor Eric Chiwaya, a member of the ruling United Democratic Front, was the latest victim of a bizarre rumor that the country's government is colluding with vampires to collect human blood for international aid agencies.

Giggling and blowing kisses to photographers, Peru's 19-month-old "miracle baby" was presented to the public Tuesday by doctors six months after surgery to separate her fused legs. Milagros Cerron, whose name means "miracles" in Spanish, was born with a rare congenital defect known as sirenomelia, or "mermaid syndrome." Her successful operation in June captured the interest of the world.

Dr. Luis Rubio, head of a team of surgeons who operated on in June, said...
