Christian Post Report – Taylor Swift and Lorde

Taylor Swift has a large group of celebrity friends, and it’s typical for the “Shake it Off” singer to be photographed with one or more of them as they attend concerts, award shows, parties, or go on a vacation. The singer has always maintained that her friendships are important to her, but now, there are new reports that Swift is feuding with one of her best friends, Lorde.

A report from OK! Magazine claims that Swift is disappointed in Lorde after the New Zealand native shot down her idea to record music together.

“Lorde loves Taylor but she thinks that their voices have completely different sounds and won’t mesh well together,” said the magazine’s source. “Taylor was pretty disappointed with her reaction.”

Upon learning about the feud rumors, Swift quickly took to social media to quash them as she sent a message via Twitter on Monday, April 6 to those responsible for the reports.

The 25-year old tweeted, “Media, when you say ‘Lorde & Taylor are fighting’ — by fighting do you mean ‘FaceTiming constantly from US to NZ and LOLing at you?’ Thnx bye.”

Three minutes after Swift’s post, the 18-year old “Royals” singer confirmed that their friendship remains solid as she tweeted, “sisters are doin’ it for themselves @taylorswift13.”

Swift and Lorde have been friends since 2013 and have put their sisterhood on full display as they attended the 2014 American Music Awards at the Nokia Theater along with Selena Gomez and Karlie Kloss. They’ve also spent time together at Swift’s Rhode Island mansion, a vacation on Catalina Island, and hikes together in Los Angeles.

Back in 2014, Swift told Jimmy Fallon of her first encounter with the 18-year old, saying, “We actually met up here in New York. We had Shake Shack, which I feel like is kind of good bonding … a friendship bonds with those thick milkshakes.”

AJ Lee Retires From WWE News 2015: CM Punk Reacts

A.J. Lee Facebook/ A.J.- WWE

Christian Post Report – A.J. has retired from WWE

A few days after winning at Wrestlemania 31, the three-time Divas champion AJ Lee has retired from the WWE.

The WWE released the following statement on April 3 about Lee’s retirement: “AJ Lee (April Mendez) has decided to retire from in-ring competition with WWE. We wish AJ the very best.”

Lee has been in the WWE main roster since 2009. Her first Divas Championship win was the longest in the title’s history, as she held the title for 295 days. She was also Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Woman of the Year for three consecutive years.

Lee suffered a neck injury in August 2014 and took some time to heal. On March 29, AJ and Paige teamed up against the Bella Twins at Wrestlemania 31.

She married former WWE wrestler CM Punk in 2014, and Punk made some controversial comments about the WWE back in November and he revealed that he was let go on his wedding day.

Just one day after Lee’s retirement was announced, Punk took to Twitter to echo the sentiment of his wife’s fans as he wrote, “#ThankYouAJ.”

WWE Legend Mick Foley paid tribute to Lee in a post on Facebook following the announcement.

“AJ Lee has retired from WWE—and somehow that just doesn’t seem right,” he wrote. “I have been talking for a while about a revolution in women’s wrestling—and I really do believe we are on the verge of a new dawn for women’s wrestling. When that new dawn arrives, it would only seem fitting that AJ be allowed to bask in the warmth of the rays she helped make possible.”

“AJ Lee was a pioneer—fighting her way up against all odds in the WWE developmental system, proving that unique talent, heart, and determination were just as important (if not more so) as the physical attributes that were generally accepted as necessary to find a spot near the top of the women’s roster,” he continued.

On April 5, Lee broke her silence about her retirement by tweeting, “Break the rules. Be a fighter. Any dream is possible if you are brave enough to do it YOUR way. Thank you all.”

Christian Post Report – Mortal Kombat X

NetherRealm Studios has done a good job of getting fans excited for the release of Christian Post Report – Mortal Kombat X by releasing several trailers over the last 10 months. Now that the game’s official release is only a few days away, the company released its final trailer, which shows all the characters in the title.

Cinemablend speculates that NetherRealm may still have a few surprises in store for gamers as certain characters like Cyrax, Stryker, and Kabal have not been mentioned, but there are rumors of their involvement in ‘Christian Post Report – Mortal Kombat X’.

Last week, Kombat Kast revealed the Kombatant roster, which includes Kung Lao, Jax, Sonya, Kenshi, Kitana, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Mileena, Takashi Takeda, Cassie Cage, Jacqueline Briggs, Kung Jin, Shinnok, Kano, Johnny Cage, Erron Black, Liu Kang, Ermac, Kotal Khan, Reptile, Ferra and Torr, D’Vorah, Raiden, and Quan Chi.

It was also confirmed that the game’s DLC characters include Tanya, Tremor, Predator, Jason, and Goro.

Speaking to GameSpot in March, NetherRealm’s Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat in 1992, said that the game’s fan base has been instrumental in the game’s development. Boon said that the company has always been open to feedback and uses it to shape the franchise’s future. He cites the inclusion of Tremor, a character considered as a throwaway by the developers, as one of the examples of how NetherRealm listens to its fans.

“There’s a really big push for the obscure character we have, Tremor, which I got so many tweets from players wanting that character,” said Boon.

“It actually stood out to me as odd, but there was this swell of people pushing for it with petitions online and all of this crazy stuff, so we included him, and a big reason was because of fans yelling loud enough,” he added.

Christian Post Report – Mortal Kombat X is set to be released on April 14 on the Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

‘NCIS New Orleans’ Episode 19 Recap ‘The Insider’

NCIS: New Orleans CBS/ NCIS: New Orleans

Christian Post Report – While conducting an autopsy on a Petty Officer who is believed to have died from natural causes, an armed man enters the morgue and holds Wade, Sebastian and Danny hostage, on NCIS: NEW ORLEANS

This week on “NCIS: New Orleans,” while conducting an autopsy on a Petty Officer who is believed to have died of natural causes, an armed man enters the morgue and holds Wade, Sebastian, and Danny hostage.

A man is trying to get through airport security, and a guard approaches him for a random search. The man shows the guard his military badge and says his name is Felix Armstrong. As the guard lets him through, Armstrong suddenly drops to the ground and appears to be unconscious. The guards rush to his side and they find out that he’s no longer breathing.

Dr. Wade arrives at the airport with the NCIS team to investigate the body. She says that he could have died due to lack of oxygen or possible drug use. Later, while she’s in the coroner’s office preparing to do an autopsy, a man walks in and tells her that Felix’s family has given him permission to take the body. When Dr. Wade says she can’t release the body until the autopsy is done, the man pulls a gun on her.

Pride calls Dr. Wade, and she surreptitiously lets him know that things are not ok and that she, Danny, and Sebastian are in trouble. Later, when the guard learns that something is not right, he goes in to investigate, and the guard gets shot. Danny also takes a bullet wound to the chest when he tries to tackle the gunman.

Danny’s lungs are filling up with blood. Unfortunately, Loretta’s wrist was injured in the scuffle earlier, so she is unable to operate on him. That leaves Sebastian to do the deed. He steps up and he cuts open Danny’s chest so that he could drain the blood from his lungs. Danny tells Dr. Wade that he has a message for his brother, but she tells him that he will live through this.

The team follows a lead, and they end up at the home of a Russian doctor who has been taking drugs out of the bodies of dead drug mules. The doctor identifies the gunman as Marcus Martel.

At Martel’s home, Brody and LaSalle discover that Martel was friends with Armstrong. Martel’s brother was a Navy SEAL whose death was very mysterious, and Martel have been trying to find out the real cause of his brother’s death.

Inside the morgue, Sebastian gets a flashdrive from Armstrong’s stomach. Armstrong’s commanding officer, Captain Dawson, arrives outside the morgue and says that Armstrong downloaded classified information into a hard drive and swallowed it. Dawson attempts to go into the morgue, but Dwayne stops him.

Dwayne tells his tech guy to get the information from the flash drive, particularly the file on how Martel’s brother, Nathan, died. Dwayne lets Martel know that he has the file, but before he can see it, he has to let Danny go to get some medical attention. Martel agrees, and he learns that Nathan was killed by an Alajamid terrorist front who was working with the US Navy to take down a Syrian officer—but they turned on Nathan and killed him instead. Martel is devastated, and FBI officers come in and arrest him.

“NCIS: New Orleans” airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on CBS.

Christian Post Report – Phil Klein/Reuters Ben Affleck and Matt Damon celebrity best friends

Celebrity best friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have teamed yet again for a futuristic espionage thriller, “Incorporated,” which recently got the greenlight for a pilot at SyFy.

The bosom buddy actors have recently gotten the go signal to film the pilot episode of their futuristic espionage drama series, “Incorporated,” at NBCUniversal’s cable network.

The show’s plot will be set in a futuristic world where companies wield unlimited power, and the plot revolves around business executive, Ben Larson who is forced to commit corporate espionage, changing his identity to infiltrate the corporate environment in order to rescue the woman he loves.

“Incorporated” will integrate the elements of action, suspense, and dark humor in a world devoid of ethical boundaries and wrought with deadly consequences for taking on the system.

“Incorporated provides us distinct insight into a world dictated by our decisions today,” Damon and Affleck said in a statement they issued to The Hollywood Reporter.

They added the show will be presenting audiences with a very possible and intricate future with a story that is both timely and important, acting as a mirror to the present reality going forward.

Affleck and Damon will be the show’s co-executive producers under their joint Pearl Street Films production company. They have also recruited David and Alex Pastor, the brothers who penned “Selfless” and “The Last Days,” to create and direct the pilot for “Incorporated.”

“Incorporated” marks Damon and Affleck’s first cable project. They have previously worked together on their 2001 reality filmmaking competition series, “Project Greenlight,” which will return to HBO for season four this year. They have also shared an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the critically acclaimed “Good Will Hunting” in 1997.

Deitrick Haddon and Dominique.

Christian Post Report – Deitrick Haddon is ready to share the gender of his upcoming bundle of joy with the world.

Haddon, 41, announced that he and his wife are expecting a third child later this year and now the father of two girls is announcing something different for his family.

“It’s a boy!!!!!! Yeeeeess Dominique and I are having a baby Boy,” a picture on Haddon’s Instagram reads. “Thank you Lord!!”

Deitrick’s wife, Dominique, also took to social media to express how God answered her family’s prayers for a son while thanking those who have shown their support.

“Well, the Lord heard my prayers for a son to bless my hubby with and HE yet listened and gave us the desire of our hearts! Most importantly, I’m glad he’s growing normally and very active,” she wrote on Instagram. “Thankful for this new experience of being a mother of a son! Excited my girls will have a little brother to grow up with!”

Haddon, the Stellar Award-winning “Male Vocalist of the Year,” shocked his wife Dominique Haddon when he went public with the announcement of the upcoming baby boy backstage at the Stellar Awards last month. Dominique took to social media to confirm that she was expecting.

“As some of you may know, the Haddon family is expanding,” she wrote. “We’re expecting our 3rd child, God willing, this summer! We don’t know the sex of the child, but the baby is healthy and doing well.”

The Haddons were married in 2013, after Deitrick and his gospel singer ex-wife Damita Haddon divorced in 2011. He previously spoke about having another chance at love with Dominique.

“I feel like God has given me a second chance at marriage, at life and at ministry. So now I’m determined to do it my way … Do it God’s way, but do it with my style,” Haddon said in an interview with Centric TV. “I’m solid. I’m sure about myself. I don’t need validation from people. I’ve got God. I’ve got my focus. I’ve got my babies, my wife, and I’m good.”

Is the ‘Long Island Medium’ a Walking Contradiction? Self-Professed Catholic Theresa Caputo Practices Further Examined

Is the ‘Long Island Medium’ a Walking Contradiction? Self-Professed Catholic Theresa Caputo Practices Further Examined

Theresa Caputo and her husband ring in the new year.

Christian Post Report – Theresa Caputo, better known as the “Long Island Medium,” has a large following and her own reality series on TLC, and now is promoting a new jewelry line that allegedly keeps one connected to a lost loved one. However, one Ph.D. candidate from Catholic University of America told The Christian Post that Caputo is violating the very religion she practices and is “most likely a con-artist.”

Caputo’s jewelry line features charms, handwriting, or a favorite drawing that you send in to be memorialized.

“After my Gram passed away I found comfort in reading cards that she sent me. I thought it would be so nice to take her handwriting and make a necklace that could wear forever and I wanted you to be able to do that too! My wish for everyone I meet is that Spirit gives them a message that bring them the most peace at that exact moment. Souls often tell me they appreciate when you remember and celebrate them, which can also be a beneficial step on the road to your healing. I hope this collection helps you honor your loved ones in a beautiful and unique way,” Caputo posted on the jewelry’s website.

Caputo has worked as a medium nearly her entire life and became internationally known with her TV show, “Long Island Medium.” There is currently a three-year waiting list for an appointment with her and the guide she calls Spirit, who allegedly provides insight into the lives of her clients. Yet Caputo is a practicing Catholic who regularly attends mass. The Catholic Church takes a strong stance on mediums and psychics, which Catholic Ph. D. candidate Brantly Millegan explained to The Christian Post.

“God can reveal the future to His prophets or to other saints,” Millegan said, citing the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2115. “A sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it.”

Caputo sees clients and specifically asks questions of the dead in order to gain answers for the client’s satisfaction. The Catholic Catechism directly addresses this, especially when it comes to receiving money for the work.

“All forms of divination are to be rejected … conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to ‘unveil’ the future,” Brantly said, sharing paragraph 2116. It “contradicts the honor, respect and loving fear that we owe to God alone.”

And when it comes to Caputo’s new jewelry line, there is a hard line concerning that as well, and calls wearing charms “reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it.”

Caputo’s show, “Long Island Medium,” airs on TLC.

Christian Post Report – Anthony DiNozzo Sr. is back in town to meet Tony’s girlfriend, on NCIS

On this week’s episode of NCIS, Tony teams up with his girlfriend Zoe on a case and Tony’s father is back in town to meet his son’s girlfriend.

The episode starts with a group of men picking up trash as part of their community service when one of them sees a body. The victim is Marine Lance Corporal David Austin. It appears as though his motorcycle crossed the center lane and went off the road, but Ducky and Palmer note that he has a bullet wound to the chest.

Tony’s father arrives at headquarters, and Tony hands over his key. Tony offers to make reservations for them and his girlfriend Zoe at a restaurant, but Senior says he has other plans for the three of them.

Gibbs visits Abby at the lab, and Abby says that the gun used on Austin was bought by the ATF.

Gibbs and Vance meet with Zoe at the ATF, and she tells them that the gun is one among three thousand guns that were supposed to be used for a sting operation, but somewhere along the way things went wrong, and now the guns ended up all over Mexico and most have been used in an assortment of crimes. Tony volunteers to work with Zoe, while Bishop and McGee will trace Austin’s steps from the time he left his parents’ farm up to the time that he was shot.

Abby learns that Austin didn’t have enough gas to make it to his destination. He passed a gas station along the way but didn’t stop, so Bishop and McGee go the gas station. In the station’s video footage, they see Austin staring at a car then turning around and following it.

Tony and Zoe arrive at Tony’s place and they hear the fire alarm beeping. Senior just burned their dinner and rearranged his furniture. Tony tells Zoe that something like this always happens when his father is around. Senior overhears this and is very hurt by this.

Meanwhile, Abby is able to zoom in on the video footage and sees a woman in the car that Austin followed, and it appears as though the woman is asking for help. The car is registered to a Jennifer Vickers, but the woman inside the car appears to be younger.

Later, Tony tells the team about his father, and Gibbs tells him that Senior is crashing at his place. Tony tells Gibbs that he should never worked with Zoe on the case.

Bishop and Gibbs visit Jennifer Vickers at her hotdog cart, and she says that her daughter Emma took the car and she hasn’t seen her in weeks and that she fell in with a bad crowd.

Gibbs returns home and sees that Senior is drinking his scotch yet hasn’t had anything to eat. As Gibbs makes a sandwich, Senior tells him that all his friends have gone somewhere and that he wants to be closer to his son. Gibbs gets a call and he heads out.

In an alley, Vickers’ car has been found along with Emma’s body. Tony goes with Gibbs to his place, and Tony apologizes to his father. He also offers to help him find an apartment.

Ducky does a rape kit on the body, and Abby finds some DNA belonging to Jamie Rivers, who was arrested a few years ago for illegally selling firearms. The team set up a sting operation, and McGee poses as a buyer. When Rivers shows up, two rangers arrive. Tony and Gibbs approach, and Rivers attempts to reach for his gun, but Gibbs shoots him before he’s able to do so.

“NCIS” airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.

‘Teen Mom OG’: Episode 3 Recap, Amber Plans to Fight for Custody

Teen Mom OG MTV/ Teen Mom OG

Christian Post Report – Amber says she wants to fight Gary for custody of their daughter on Teen Mom OG

On this week’s episode of “Teen Mom OG,” Amber gets frustrated with Gary and plans to fight for custody of their daughter Leah, Maci and Ryan talk about their issues, and Tyler breaks the rules set by Carly’s adoptive parents.

Amber is getting ready to hit the road to promote her new book. Before she leaves for the tour, she wants to spend some time with her daughter, so she calls Gary and asks him if it’s ok for Leah to sleep over at her place. Gary thinks that it’s not a good idea since he has the child on a sleeping schedule for school.

Amber goes to pick up Leah, and Gary tells her they need to be back by 7:30 p.m. They spend the few hours they have together at the park, and Amber isn’t happy when Gary repeatedly calls her on her phone. This angers Amber, but she does as she’s told and brings back Leah on time.

Amber leaves for her book tour, and during a stop in L.A. on Dr. Drew’s radio show, she says that if Gary keeps on doing what he’s doing, she’s going to have to fight for custody of their daughter.

Meanwhile, Catelynn and Tyler are preparing for the arrival of their baby daughter. They fix up the nursery and go shopping for clothes and a baby carrier.

Later, Tyler starts thinking about Carly, their first born daughter whom they’ve put up for adoption. Tyler makes a video of all the pictures of Carly and posts it online. By doing so, he broke a rule that Carly’s adoptive parents set: no pictures or videos of Carly should be posted online.

Catelynn thinks that what he’s doing is not a good idea, and Tyler gets upset and says that he doesn’t think that it’s right for them to dictate what he can do about their daughter’s pictures. Carly’s parents call Tyler and they’re very upset with him.

“I don’t care if the world can’t see her — I get to and my family gets to and that’s all that matters … We signed her away, we don’t have any rights to her,” Catelynn tells him.

Ryan is 40 minutes late to pick up Bentley. Maci, sick of waiting, finally decides to bring Bentley to his parents’ house. Ryan arrives, and finding Maci and Bentley gone, he calls her up and blames her for their problems.

Later, the two finally agree to meet and talk about their issues.

Maci tells him, “I want to include you. I want to co-parent with you, not your parents. So we’re on the same page.” Ryan nods and promises to be more reliable.

“Teen Mom OG” airs on Mondays at 10 p.m. on MTV.

Christian Post Report – This image of Scarlett Johansson appears as the character Black Widow on the set of “The Avengers” movie was published on the Internet Thursday by comicbookmovie.com, which credited Twitter user @RIMBreaks for the link to the image.

Marvel Studios has released a final trailer for their upcoming “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” featuring Scarlett Johansson doing serious damage to the enemy.

Scarlett Johansson, who plays the Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” dominates screen time in Marvel Studios’ final trailer for the May 1 film with her vicious fighting skills.

During filming, Johansson was pregnant with her now seven-month-old daughter, and her on-screen time consisted of close-up shots, body concealing costumes to hide her growing stomach, visual effects, and stunt doubles, but her intense action sequences in the film have been captured in the final trailer.

The Black Widow is seen dispatching enemies on a snow-covered rocky terrain, dominating a stomach-churning motorcycle ride twisting through traffic and sliding under a 10-wheeler truck to rescue Captain America (Chris Evans), fiercely flashing of a pair of new laser-like knives, and somersaulting across the steps of a monument to bury Captain America’s shield on an enemy foot.

Johansson’s tight action sequences have stolen the thunder from Ultron himself, indicating the Black Widow won’t be a secondary character in an all-star cast of superheroes.

The ensemble cast includes Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Stellan Skarsgard, Paul Bettany, James Spader, Idris Elba, Cobie Smulders, Don Cheadle, Elizabeth Olsen, Hayley Atwell, Anthony Mackie, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with the film premiering in Los Angeles on April 13 and showing in North American theaters by May 1.
