a gentle reminder to avoid donating to the red cross and other profiteer organizations if you plan to help those affected by hurricane ida . . . find smaller/local charities, direct aid funds or organizations that have a “boots on the ground” approach. here’s a great starter list:
world central kitchen
second harvest food bank
the cajun navy  ( call 504-517-6289 if you live in louisiana and need rescue ) 
covenant house
catholic charities of america ( text RELIEF to 797979 )

She wasn't sitting with the Glee table or with D (12/2/2012 - Same night as the handshake pic.)  She’s sitting with publicist Cade H*dson - who was recently exposed as a creeper. 
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/12/03/article-2242143-16530F2E000005DC-131_634x816.jpg
CAA agent accused of offering sex in exchange for access to directors and a Hollywood star
Dec 9, 2017
As more talent agencies find themselves drawn into the wave of Hollywood sex scandals, a prominent agent at Creative Artists Agency is facing accusations that he offered an actor sex in exchange for access to directors and a movie star.
The agent, Cade H*dson, made the offers in 2013, according to text messages reviewed by The Times, as well as interviews with the recipient of the messages, actor Sean Rose. The texts show that H*dson offered to perform oral sex on Rose and solicited the actor for as much as $1,000, even though he was told the actor was heterosexual.
Rose said he declined the offers and was "embarrassed and humiliated."
But he said he felt powerless to speak out and feared that doing so would result in professional reprisals. "Because he knew so many people in the industry, I felt there wasn't anything I could do about it," the actor said.
At the time of the incident, H*dson was a publicist at Full Picture, a marketing and brand management firm that has clients in fashion, entertainment and other fields. About a year later, he moved to CAA, where he is an agent for commercial endorsements. He has developed close relationships with numerous celebrities — including pop singer Britney Spears, one of the agency's most valued clients — and has served as CAA's public face at red-carpet and charity events.
In a statement released by his attorney, H*dson, 30, didn't directly address the text messages but said he is gay and was single at the time. He said he met Rose at his tailor several years ago and not as a result of his employment in the entertainment industry.
"After being my friend on social media for seven years, and liking my posts, Sean is now accusing me of soliciting a sex act from him," he stated. "My recollection is that he laughed it off and remained my friend on social media."
He added: "I have the utmost sympathy for victims of harassment and abuse, but this is no such case."
CAA said in a statement: "Cade was not employed at CAA at the time, and this is the first we are hearing of these accusations. We take allegations of misconduct seriously, and investigate them as appropriate."
Jed Ferdinand, an attorney for Full Picture, confirmed that Hudson worked for Full Picture for about five years and left in January 2014. The attorney said Full Picture has no comment about the accusations.
The claims against H*dson come amid a barrage of sex-related scandals that have overtaken the entertainment industry. William Morris Endeavor recently demoted and suspended Adam Venit, the head of its motion picture group, after former NFL player and actor Terry Crews accused the agent of groping his genitals.
Tyler Grasham, who worked for the Agency for the Performing Arts, was fired in October. He has been accused by multiple men of sexual harassment and assault.
Agents wield tremendous power by serving as the primary gatekeepers for Hollywood talent. But the Harvey Weinstein scandal has raised questions about whether they did enough to prevent sexual harassment in the industry.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that several CAA agents knew about Weinstein's misconduct but still sent actresses to meet him. The agency — which represents many of Hollywood's biggest stars — issued a statement saying, "we apologize to any person the agency let down for not meeting the high expectations we place on ourselves, as individuals and as a company."
Sexual misconduct allegations usually pit one party's word against the other's, but the accusations against CAA's H*dson revolve almost entirely around text messages that have been saved by Rose.
Rose said he agreed to come forward as it may help others speak out. He said he is adamant that artists need to be protected and that "enough is enough."
Rose said the incident occurred in April 2013 when he was invited to H*dson's house near West Hollywood past midnight to hang out. The actor said he agreed to meet only because he wanted to build his professional network in hopes of finding more acting work.
He said they had briefly met twice before in public — first when H*dson introduced himself as a publicist at a parking lot in Los Angeles a few years before. Later, they crossed paths at a hotel in Bel-Air, where Rose was working.
Rose said that H*dson mentioned several times his friends in the industry and at one point told the actor in a text that he should pursue modeling because "u have the look."
The actor said he brought a friend with him to H*dson's house that night. The friend has corroborated that he accompanied Rose and that Rose told him about the text messages after the meeting was over.
During the visit, Rose said H*dson spilled a drink on his pants. According to Rose, H*dson proceeded to wipe Rose's pants and put his hand on his inner thigh. Rose said he pushed H*dson's hand away.
H*dson said he has no recollection of spilling the drink on his lap. "If it happened, it was accidental. I did not and would not have touched Mr. Rose without his consent," he said in the statement.
H*dson later went into another room to fetch a pair of sweatpants and then began texting Rose, the actor said.
"I pay u 500 to have ur friend bounce," H*dson wrote, according text messages reviewed by The Times. The Times verified that the phone number associated with the text messages belongs to the agent.
"LOL I g2g [got to go] soon," the actor texted back.
H*dson offered more money. "1k stay," he texted, later adding, "I know ur straight Getting [oral sex] isn't gay. U. Know. That." He also texted: "All u gotta do is sick [sit] back relax..."
His texts became more aggressive. "If BJ happens tn [tonight] ill make sure u meet her tomorrow."
Rose said that H*dson was referring to actress Amanda Seyfried, who is a friend of the agent.
H*dson later texted: "Ill have u meet with any director this week that I can"
Rose tried to get out of the awkward situation. "Dude friends, " he texted back to H*dson. "I'm not that desperate to make it."
The actor and his friend eventually left H*dson's house without further incident. A few days later, they exchanged more text messages, with H*dson asking if Rose would be interested in three-way sex. Rose said he wasn't interested and that he only has sex with women, according to a text.
During his short time at CAA, H*dson has built an impressive roster of celebrity clients and friends. As a commercials agent, he is responsible for finding clients lucrative endorsement deals and has represented Spears and stars including Sean Penn, Amber Valletta, Demi Lovato and Zac Efron.
This year, his 30th birthday bash was covered by celebrity publications including TMZ, and was attended by many of his A-list clients. The TMZ headline described him as "Hollywood's most popular agent."
At CAA, H*dson is known for his ties to celebrities and has been photographed hanging out with Paris Hilton. In April, he served as an honorary co-chair of the World of Children Hero Awards, a celebrity gala event benefiting the children's charity that was co-sponsored by CAA.
Rose said he recently spoke with H*dson by phone and text in light of all of the sexual harassment scandals in Hollywood.
"I said I wasn't comfortable with what happened years ago," Rose said. "He said he was drunk and that he's sober now."
Rose said he wanted to meet in person and H*dson suggested the Polo Lounge. The actor suggested another location and they agreed. But he said H*dson ultimately canceled.
The actor said he was then surprised to receive an email letter from the agent's attorney in late November. [X]

50 States of McMansion Hell: Oldham County, Kentucky
Hello Friends! Like most small children who go on summer vacation after spectacularly arduous finals, the days for me have begun to blur together and it was only this afternoon that I realized today was not in fact Wednesday. 
Anyway, apologies to the horse people on the internet, I seem to have found the only dang house in Kentucky without horses, but to be fair, the horses didn’t do anything to deserve my wrath. In fact, I don’t know why horses put up with all our dumb human BS. Horses of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your reins! Just remember what happened to Cobalt in The Saddle Club!!!! 
Like most weird girls, I, too, used to read too many horse books as a kid. 
Anyways:
Tumblr media
This lovely 2003 house boasts 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, pushing a total of ~6000 square feet. It can be yours for just under $800,000! 
Sadly, there are no dank lawyer foyer pics, so we’re gonna start with the 
Living Room
Tumblr media
RIP Hobbes
Dining Room
Tumblr media
Nothing says passion like painting every visible surface red. I mean, those lampshades could def get an indifferent spouse rowdy, see what I’m saying?
Kitchen 
Tumblr media
Like Willy Wonka, I have little patience for gum chewers, especially smackers. 
Also trying to cook from a cooking show seems like such a hassle before DVR.
Tumblr media
Lady_Marmalade.mp3
Office
Tumblr media
Pay attention, friends, this room is to set the tone for the rest of the post. Also Confession: The Notebook made me cry like a weenie in the 9th grade. 
Master Bedroom
Tumblr media
Personally, I keep fresh sheets and pillowcases in my bedside drawer, along with a copy of Panic! At the Disco’s first album. Anyways, are the Red Hat Ladies even around anymore??? That stuff was a staple of 90s Hallmark stores. In fact, I’m pretty sure they’re the ones responsible for the whole Live Love Laugh thing. The arch-trolls of our generation.
Master Bath
Tumblr media
Maybe if I quit eating avocado toast (I’m sorry I’m never going to get over how extremely dumb that article is) I’ll be able to afford some bathtub plants and a mortgage. 
Bedroom 2
Tumblr media
This kid must at least be in college by now, so that bedspread is a little unusual. I mean, I’m not judging - my bedspread has rowhouses on it. 
Bedroom 3
Tumblr media
I remember the good ol’ days when yours truly was a bona fide member of the Myspace group “NO PREPS ALLOWED”
MAN CAVE (It has a sign)
Tumblr media
We artsy fartsy folks love to lay the crap on college athletes, finding them undeserving of coveted scholarships just because they trained their bodies to do dumb crap involving balls. However, when I read this essay in 2011, it really changed the way I saw college athletes - they might get their school paid for but they get punished in so many other ways. 
Still, like most artsy fartsy people, I intensely dislike sports because I am not good at them. 
Bar
Tumblr media
Can’t wait to spill red wine on a beige carpet.
Den
Tumblr media
I now intensely believe the theory that red walls make you agitated and irritable because I am those things. Also there’s ur dang horse, Kentucky people.
Finally, our tour comes to an end.
Rear Exterior
Tumblr media
Can’t wait to have that damask wrought iron branding right on the ol’ bummeroo.
Anyways, that’s it for Kentucky - Join me on Sunday for a long-awaited post about 18th Century architectural theory, and next Wednesday’s Maine McMansion! 
If you like this post, and want to see more like it, consider supporting me on Patreon!  Also JUST A HEADS UP - I’ve started posting a GOOD HOUSE built since 1980 from the area where I picked this week’s McMansion as Wednesday bonus content on Patreon! Not into small donations and sick bonus content? Check out the McMansion Hell Store - 100% goes to charity.

I’m adding Miley Cyrus and, basically, shes compared with Emma a lot. “Look at Emma’s feminism and good deeds, while Miley Cyrus wears skimpy clothes for attention”
Miley Cyrus
1. Throughout her career, Cyrus has participated in several charity singles such as Just Stand Up!, Send It On, Everybody Hurts and We Are the World 25 for Haiti. 2. Cyrus has visited several sick fans in hospitals throughout the years. 3. Cyrus is an avid supporter of City of Hope, having attended benefit concerts in 2008, 2009 and 2012. 4. In 2008 and 2009, during her “Best of Both Worlds Tour” and “Wonder World Tour”, for every concert ticket sold, she donated one dollar to the organization. 5.

In the same month, she performed her song “The Climb” at the “CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute” at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. 20. In 2012, Cyrus released a cover version of Bob Dylan’s “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go” featuring Johnzo West for the charity Amnesty International as a part of the album Chimes of Freedom. She also appeared in a commercial for Rock the Vote campaign which encourages young people to make their voices heard.

At the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Jimmy Fallon announced that Cyrus was the winner of the Video of the Year award for her song “Wrecking Ball”. Instead of accepting the award herself, she sent on stage a man by the name of Jesse, a homeless 22-year-old that Cyrus met at My Friend’s Place, an organization that helps homeless youth find shelter. His acceptance speech encouraged musicians to learn more about homeless youth in Los Angeles and what they can do to help at Cyrus’s Facebook page 29. Cyrus then launched a Prizeo campaign to raise funds for the charity My Friend’s Place, an organization in Los Angeles that helps homeless people from the ages of 12 to 25 find housing, jobs, health care and schooling. Those who made donations were automatically entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to meet Cyrus on her Bangerz Tour in Rio de Janeiro that September.
Emma Watson 1. Watson has promoted education for girls, visiting Bangladesh and Zambia to do so. 2. In July 2014, she was appointed as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador. (For Emma fans, I haven’t added any of the sub tasks other celebrities did as a spokesperson for something so I won’t for Emma either). It was mostly speeches btw (I searched outside wikipedia to find other things she did, which I haven’t for the other celebs here, so if the ones below aren’t detailed it’s because I didn’t have Wikipedia’s extra info) Other charities 3. Shelter box 4. Small step project 5. Great Ormond children’s hospital 6. Oxfam 7. Sense 8. Book club 9. Visited Indian slums
Emma’s basically on the mid to lower end when it comes to the amount of charity work she’s done. How much the less famous, less rich actors would do.
Wow what a list!
