‘Big Brother’ Fired: Contestant GinaMarie Loses Job After Racial Slur Controversy

Two ‘Big Brother 15’ contestants have been fired from their day jobs for racial slurs they made during continuous live feeds of the show on CBS.com. According to a new report, contestant GinaMarie Zimmerman was terminated from her job at a beauty pageant agency just a day after her cast mate Aaryn Gries was fired over similar remarks. The comments come just a week after celebrity TV chef Paula Deen was fired from several companies she had lucrative partnerships and endorsement deals with, over racist comments she allegedly made to a former employee.
Zimmerman, 32, and Gries, 22, reportedly engaged on camera in a conversation laden with racist and homophobic comments about other houseguests. Zimmerman was caught referring to an Asian-American cast mate, Helen Kim, in a conversation with another house guest, in which she said, “Andy was like, 'I'm gonna punch her in the face,' and I was like, 'Maybe that'll make her eyes straight.'"

Rochelle And Marvin Humes Are Keen To Pop Out Baby Number 2

 

Ex-JLS singer Marvin Humes revealed exclusively that he and wife Rochelle are loving parenthood and they want to pop out more babies very soon!
The Hottest Girl In The World singer recently became a father for the first time, and told Entertainmentwise that he and Mrs Humes are intent on making even more mini Marvins and Rochelles.
The 28-year-old revealed: "I've always said we want a big family. Three or four children would be incredible, but I don't want to put a time on it."
Marvin seemed absolutely besotted with his six-week-old baby girl Alaia-Mai.
He gushed: "I am very very lucky to have Alaia, she makes me smile every day, it's amazing."
The father-of-one said that little Alaia has been sleeping through the night and behaving very well, laughing: "Yeah! I've heard it doesn't last forever, but she's a good baby so far, so I am very lucky."

He also revealed that he and his wife are managing both a professional and family life.
"We've both got family who are very close to us, both of our parents live near to us so we get help from them."
The boyband hottie continued, "Between Roche and I, we're both busy, but we're managing to juggle it at the moment! It's going absolutely fine."
Baby Alaia-Mai might only be six-weeks old, but according to Marvin, she could have an exciting future ahead of her. With two musically talented parents, could Alaia-Mai have a future in the industry?
"I'd be supportive of that! How can I not be? She's got two parents who can give her good advice, obviously! We're supporting anything we want to do, what ever she wants to do, she can do it!"

Indian star Shah Rukh Khan announces new baby

Baby born to Bollywood star and wife through surrogate

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has confirmed that he's the father of a new baby amid feverish media speculation.

Talking to reporters at a news conference to promote the music from his latest film, Khan said late Wednesday that the news was "extremely personal."

There's been much speculation in Indian media over the last few weeks that Khan and his wife, Gauri, became parents to a baby boy via a surrogate and that the actor knew the baby's gender ahead of the birth — an act that is illegal in India to prevent the practice of aborting female fetuses due to a cultural preference for sons.

Khan did not give any details Wednesday and did not mention the baby's gender, but said he would share more publicly when the speculation settles down.

Khan said he wanted everyone, including government officials who are investigating whether he knew the baby's gender before the birth, to work with the same "alacrity in finding out and doing the enthusiastic investigation they are doing upon my baby upon other things which they should be lending their thoughts to right now."

"When the sad part gets over, I will share everything with you," Khan said.

Khan and his wife have two other children, a son and a daughter, both in their teens. The 47-year-old actor is busy promoting his latest film, Chennai Express, which is set to be released in August.

In 2011, actor Aamir Khan spoke openly about how he and his wife, filmmaker Kiran Rao, had struggled with fertility issues before they decided to have a baby using a gestational surrogate.

GinaMarie Zimmerman of 'Big Brother' Fired From Day Job After Using 'N-Word'

After Paula Deen, another TV personality gets into trouble for using the "n-word." This time, it was "Big Brother" season fifteen HouseGuest, GinaMarie Zimmerman, who got fired from her day job as pageant coordinator for East Coast USA Pageant Inc. after her employer witnessed her using racial slurs on the show.

After watching her use the "n-word" during a live feed on CBS.com, East Coast USA Pageant Inc. was "left in disbelief and shock" as the reality TV show contestant showed "acts of hate and racism" and decided to cut their ties with her despite Zimmerman being a longtime employee of the company since five years ago. Although "Big Brother" does not condone the HouseGuests' prejudices, among them were racial and homophobic slurs, the show does not censor the contestants.

In a statement, East Coast USA Pageant said they were in fact "thankful that this show let us see GinaMarie for who she truly is" having "never known this side of GinaMarie or have ever witnessed such acts of racism in the past." They added, "In a business where we are surrounded by beauty every day we are saddened to see something so ugly come from someone we put on a very high pedestal."

Zimmerman is actually not the only "Big Brother" HouseGuest this season to lose her day job after using hateful language on the show. Aaryn Gries was dropped by her modeling agency, Zephyr Talent, after she told her an Asian contestant to "shut up and go make some rice" and called another gay contestant "queer."
