Taylor Swift defended after being told to delete new album picture as offended men complain it’s ‘disgusting’

The Life of a Showgirl is set to drop in just a few months’ time (3 October)

Taylor Swift has been fiercely defended by fans after being told to delete her latest album pictures, as a bunch of internet trolls complained that they were ‘disgusting’.

While, for the most part, there’s been nothing but hype and praise online for the 35-year-old ‘Bad Blood’ singer ever since she released the cover art for her upcoming album, some people have taken it upon themselves to slam and shame her for allegedly being a ‘bad influence’ on her younger fans.

Now, in case you’re not in the loop, Taylor’s new album set to come out this autumn (3 October) is titled The Life of a Showgirl and it has the cover art to match the whole ‘showgirl’ theme.

Yep, that means bedazzled bodysuits, fur, headdresses, feathers and – shock horror – some skin on show – all of which are bang-on theme if you ask us.

In a new batch of photos, which were shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and released on Monday (18 August), Taylor could be seen wearing a glitzy red and black bodysuit and matching arm sleeves with nude fishnet tights arching forwards with her two hands against a wall with her right leg slightly in front of the left.

Needless to say, an avalanche of keyboard warriors absolutely lost their sh*t with one X user jabbing: “This is a family-friendly platform and this post is disgusting. There are children on here and you should delete this graphic post.”

You’re on Twitter, babes, it’s not exactly ‘family-friendly’.

“This is obscene and indecent,” slammed a second, while a third piped up: “This is the role model for young girls? You need Jesus.”

And a final troll declared: “You know she is failing when she starts exposing skin.”

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for fans to call out such rhetoric with many specifically hitting out over the final comment.

“Yeah, I bet we all wish we could ‘fail’ like she does,” penned one fan.

A second sarcastically quipped: “Do showgirls normally dress conservatively?”

She's definitely stuck to the whole 'showgirl' theme! (Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott)

“Insert insecure male comment here,” joked a third, while a fourth pointed out: “Lol she’s at the peak of her career.”

Another added: “She just finished the highest-grossing tour in history.”

And a final X user highlighted: “She’s a billionaire with the largest fan base in modern history and you’re a troll.”

And, thankfully, this isn’t the first time Swifties have come out in full force to defend their beloved pop icon and hopefully it won’t be the last!

Why Blackheads Form in Your Ears and How to Treat Them Before It’s Too Big

Why Blackheads Form in Your Ears and How to Treat Them Before It’s Too Big

Your ears are particularly susceptible to blackheads because they often aren’t given the same preventive treatment as your face. Treatment can include exfoliation and acne treatments.

Blackheads are one form of acne, a type of inflammatory skin condition that’s caused by clogged pores. While blackheads are commonly linked to areas of the “T-zone” (chin, nose, and forehead), they can occur anywhere.

Unlike other types of acne, such as cysts, blackheads aren’t linked to bacteria. They’re caused by a combination of oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and dirt that clog your pores and create a hardened substance. The top of the pore is left open, and the plugged material oxidizes into a darkened color.

Read on to learn how blackheads are formed and how to treat them on your ears.

What causes blackheads?

Everyone has oil glands — in fact, these are necessary for natural skin hydration. Oil glands only become problematic if they become overactive and produce too much sebum. This is most often the case in people with oily or combination skin types.

The following risk factors can also increase your number of clogged pores, leading to more blackheads:

  • hormonal fluctuations
  • prescription medications
  • stress
  • family history

Although whiteheads also stem from clogged pores, they have closed heads. This creates the white cap that you see on the skin.

What treatment options are available?

You’ll follow the same steps to get rid of a blackhead in your ear as you would for blackheads on other parts of your body. The difference, though, is that the skin on your ears is more sensitive, and you also can’t see the area easily.

Consistency is also important — it can be easy to forget your ears compared to more visible areas, such as your face.

1. Wash your ears

One of the best ways to remove the excess oils and dirt that can build up in your ears is to wash them every day. This is easy to do in the shower, and you may even be able to use your regular face cleanser. You can use your fingers or a soft washcloth.

Choose gentle foaming, oil-free products, such as:

Avoid over-scrubbing your ears, as this can irritate your skin and cause more acne.

2. Exfoliate the area

You may already know that exfoliation is important for your face and body. It helps to remove dead skin cells that dull your skin tone and clog your pores. This also includes your ears. You can gently exfoliate the delicate skin surrounding your ears once a week. This is best to do the shower.

Apply the exfoliating wash with your fingers and rub gently. The following products may help:

3. Apply acne medication

Certain over-the-counter (OTC) acne medications can also help unplug blackheads in and around your sensitive ears. Salicylic acid is a helpful OTC medication that works by unclogging pores and stripping away dead skin cells. Other acne medications like benzoyl peroxide are also useful.

Salicylic acid is available in numerous acne products. Astringents and toners are the most common, although some cleansers have it, too. When using a salicylic acid-based cleanser, such as Dermalogica Clearing Skin Wash, use this in place of a regular cleanser in the shower.

You can also use your regular cleanser and follow up with an astringent, such as Neutrogena Clear Pore Oil-Eliminating Astringent. When using an astringent, use once a day to start. If your skin doesn’t develop any irritation, you can apply twice daily in your ears with a cotton ball or Q-tip.

4. Consider extraction

Extraction may be a last resort for stubborn blackheads in the ear. Rather than using fingernails or bobby pins, you’ll want to buy an extraction tool that won’t leave marks or cuts on your skin.

Still, even professional-grade extraction tools can be difficult to use in your ears. You should:

  1. First, press a warm washcloth on the area to soften the plugged pore.
  2. Use a sterilized extractor by pressing the metal loop on the edge of the blackhead. Then, sweep it across to extract it.
  3. Be sure you don’t press the tool directly onto your blackhead — this can cause your sensitive ear skin to tear.
  4. Wash your ear and sterilize the extractor again after you’re done.
When to see your dermatologist

Although at-home blackhead removal methods can work for some people, it doesn’t work in all cases. If your blackheads come back in your ears, or if you have a widespread case throughout the area, it may be time to see your dermatologist.

A dermatologist can help with ear blackheads in a few different ways. With professional extraction tools, they can first remove the blackheads safely and thoroughly. This could be much more effective than doing the extractions yourself since you may not be able to see inside or behind your ear very well.

If you have recurring blackheads in the ears and other areas of the body, your dermatologist may prescribe acne medication. Keep in mind though that many of these products can make your skin sensitive to the sun, so be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen to avoid burns.

How to prevent future blackheads from forming

Another way to get rid of blackheads in your ear is to help prevent them in the first place. Such a task is dependent on keeping your ears clean and free of excess oil. Most of the treatments don’t treat the blackhead itself but prevent others from forming. Consider the following steps:

You should:

  • Wash your ears every day. Removing excess oil from your ears can reduce the number of clogged pores in the area.
  • Shampoo your hair daily. This helps prevent oil that and dirt buildup from your hair going into your ears. If you must skip a wash, use a dry shampoo and keep your hair pulled back.
  • Wash and clean items that touch your ears weekly. These include earbuds, pillow cases, cell phones, and other items your ears are regularly exposed to.
  • Use noncomedogenic skin care products on your ears. Whether you apply the occasional body lotion or sunscreen on your ears, going noncomedogenic means that you’re using products that won’t clog pores.
  • Avoid popping blackheads with your fingers or nails. Ultimately, this can cause irritation and may lead to further breakouts. Scarring can also occur.
  • Don’t apply acne products more than recommended. The skin in and around your ears is sensitive and more prone to irritation from too many acne products. Plus, if you dry out your skin too much, your oil glands can produce even more sebum that can lead to even more blackheads.

Sharon Stone details surprise date with this notable rapper and it’s left people absolutely speechless

- by USA Facts News - Leave a Comment

Sharon Stone has opened up about the rumor

Sharon Stone has revealed she once went on a date with a famous rapper.

The 67-year-old Golden Globe Award winner has left fans stunned after dropping the bombshell that she once shared a brief romance with a notable musician.

The Basic Instinct actress made an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen alongside fellow Nobody 2 co-star Bob Odenkirk, where she and the Better Call Saul actor were asked a whole bunch of quick-fire questions about themselves.

During the show, Cohen asked the Total Recall star to clarify a rumor about her dating life.

Stone was asked if she had ever dated the ‘Hot in Here’ hitmaker Nelly, now 50.

Before she could even answer, Cohen guessed her response, stating: “I mean, this is crazy enough that I actually might believe it.”

Odenkirk, 62, also butted in: “I’m going to say yeah.”

After a long pause, Stone finally confessed: “Yes, I did,” while the studio audience gasped.

Cohen then pressed: “Did you have a second date?” to which Stone shook her head before saying: “No, I did not.”

The surprising admission comes as Stone has endured quite a few romances over the years.

The Casino star first tied the knot with TV producer Michael Greenburg in 1984 after meeting him on the set of The Vegas Strip War.

After their divorce in 1990, Stone met William J. MacDonald on the set of the movie Silver.

Despite the pair sharing a whirlwind romance, which saw MacDonald leave his wife for Stone and propose to the actress, they separated a year later in 1994.

That same year, Stone met assistant director Bob Wagner, with whom they became engaged, but the relationship fell through.

Four years later, she married Phil Bronstein, during which she tragically suffered several miscarriages and was unable to conceive children due to suffering from an autoimmune disease and endometriosis.

The couple adopted a son, Roan, 25, in 2000, and went their separate ways in 2003. Stone went on to adopt two more sons, Laird, now 20, in 2005, and Quinn, 19, in 2006.

Now, the mom-of-three is reportedly single and admitted in January that finding love hasn’t been easy for her.

Speaking to The Times last year, she revealed she’d had some pretty horrific dates, including a date with a ‘heroin addict’ to another that left her feeling ‘like a therapist’ as she coached him through his divorce.

Still, she hasn’t given up, telling the outlet she has joined Tinder, adding: “This is the year that I want to fall in love — 100 percent.”

As for Nelly, the musician married fellow rapper Ashanti in 2023, with whom he shares a son, Kareen, 13 months.

He is also father to four other children: daughter Chanelle, 31, son Cornell, 26, whom he shares with ex Channetta Valentines, and son Shawn, 27, and Sydney, 19, whom he adopted from his sister, Jackie Donahue, after she died in 2005 of leukaemia..

UNILAD has contacted Nelly’s representatives for comment.

We charged guests up to $1,000 to attend our wedding – and made $132,000 in profit

‘It was never about what we could afford. It was about a different way of doing things.’

We charged guests up to $1,000 to attend our wedding – and made $132,000 in profit

A couple have revealed how they made a £132,000 profit after charging guests up to $1,000 to attend their wedding.

Marley Jaxx, 34, and her husband, Steve J. Larsen, 37, from Boise, Idaho, were shocked by the cost of a wedding after researching venues – including a $650 cake-cutting fee at one venue.

Marley initially joked about charging people to attend their wedding to cover the costs of their dream big do, but Steve then warmed up to the idea.

The couple told friends and family that if they wanted to attend the event, they would have to pay.

Guests could purchase a basic $57 (£42) ticket for the wedding day, or a three-day experience for two tickets priced at $997 (£735) – which included access to the wedding day, a charity rehearsal dinner, and a biohacking brunch.

Three hundred guests attended the celebrations, covering the $50,000 wedding cost and raising $132,550 (£98,000), which will be donated to charity Village Impact.

Marley, an entrepreneur, said: ‘Most people got it. Of course there were people who did a double take and were like ”wait, what?”

‘One friend of mine didn’t like it, and he didn’t hold back either. We debated it, and in the end, he said he understood.

Here comes the bill! Marley Jaxx, 34, and her husband, Steve J. Larsen, 37, from Boise, Idaho, charged guests up to $1,000 (£730) to attend their wedding to cover the cost of their do-and made $132,550 (£98,000) in profit

‘Other responses we had were from people saying that if we can’t afford a big wedding, then don’t do it.

‘It was never about what we could afford. It was about a different way of doing things.’

Steve proposed on January 1, 2025, on an ice rink in Boise, Idaho, surrounded by their family and friends and the pair got straight to planning their special day.

When they were researching venues, they were shocked by the pricing they were seeing, so they floated the idea of selling tickets.

Steve, an entrepreneur, said: ‘We decided to charge because we started making a big list of everyone who we wanted to come.

‘We were paying per head, lots of people wanted to come. We wanted a big party, but the cost kept getting higher and higher.

‘We said instead of people getting us a gift, or donating to a honeymoon fund – pay for your meal, and you can come party with us.

‘For us, it was all about doing a different way of doing things, and changing how people think about weddings.’

Steve said: ‘In total, we raised around $130k, and all that money is going to Village Impact.

‘A large portion of that money was through guests donating $15k to come join us in Kenya in 2026 to help build schools.

‘We had family who traveled from all over, our three daughters did public speaking, which we were super proud of.

Joan Collins, 92, targeted by trolls as she poses in white swimsuit Accused of setting ‘unrealistic expectations’?

Joan Collins looks concerned

News

Trolls have taken aim at Hollywood legend Joan Collins after she shared a stunning Instagram shot showing her in a white swimsuit.

Dynasty star Joan looked super-chic as she showed off her figure during a spot of sunbathing in St Tropez.

However, the pic of the 92-year-old actress was slammed by some social media users for allegedly being ‘touched up’. But while it was claimed the image of the glam film actress set “unrealistic expectations”, others felt the “filter police” were being too harsh.

As she uploaded the snap to her Insta account, The Stud star Joan indicated in her caption her thoughts are never that far from working, even in her nineties.

“Thinking of my next move or next movie!” she said, having noted she’d consider a potential project with “shades of Agatha Christie and Murder She Wrote”.

However, Joan also highlighted how she does very well with her downtime too, sharing: “Meanwhile, I’m relaxing in the South of France in 90° heat.”

She accessorised her sunseeker look with wide-brimmed red hat, keeping her head and face in the shade. However, going by the comments section of her post, users were more interested in making remarks about a different aspect of Joan’s appearance.

How fans reacted

Many of Joan’s celebrity pals offered her compliments, including Piers Morgan who wrote: “Lovely pic!”

Other Insta users were more forthright and not as courteous, even if they agreed that Joan’s appearance belies her years.

“Gorgeous but heavily filtered,” one commenter alleged, bluntly.

They went on: “Let’s be honest. Her skin in real life is not like this. Don’t appreciate unrealistic expectations for someone in her decade.”

That remark provoked a wave of responses from other users. “Totally agree,” said one respondent. “True I prefer the real Joanie because that’s who she is and gorgeous in her own right. That to me means more than filters,” chipped in someone else.

Another supporter else indicated Joan’s personality shines through, writing: “Who is looking at her skin? She is a gorgeous person.”

Meanwhile, someone else tried to make sense of Insta reality: “Either the picture is old and has just been posted now or it is photoshopped. I doubt anyone born in 1933 looks like this now.”

‘Leave her be’

However, other users furiously insisted whether filters were applied to the image or not is irrelevant.

“There are youngsters and young influencers out there swathed in filters – are you on their pages making these same comments?” one demanded. They continued: “Joan is all about the glam and if she wants to post a super-glam pic of herself using filters when EVERY young person out there is doing it, why the hell shouldn’t she? Leave her be.”

We don’t need the filter police trying to turn this into something negative.

Another person defended the possible use of photo tweaks: “For God’s sake, she’s 92! She’s always taken care of herself and looks great. WHO CARES IF SHE USES FILTERS? Go complain about someone that’s 18 or 25 filtered to smithereens. She’s 92! We don’t need the filter police trying to turn this into something negative.”

And yet another fan dismissed the criticism by claiming: “Of course it is filtered. The top photo and swimsuit photo don’t match. But who cares? She is so talented, and she has beauty from within. And quite frankly, she just radiates glamour. At her age, looking forward to doing another movie is simply amazing. I wish I had half her energy. God bless her and wish her well.”

Coldplay's Chris Martin directly addresses viral CEO 'kiss cam' scandal with savage statement in recent show

The Coldplay frontman shared a warning to fans as they prepared the jumbotron

Coldplay are still doing the rounds with their huge, on-stage jumbotron, and frontman Chris Martin isn’t shy about addressing the scandal it recently caused.

The band got together at Sewell Group Craven Park in Hull, England this week, just over a month after the viral moment took place at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on July 16.

There’s a very slim chance you’ve not seen it, but if you happen to have been stuck in a cave for the last few weeks, allow me to remind you.

Coldplay were showing off some of their fans on their huge ‘jumbotron’, also referred to as a ‘kiss cam’, when the camera cut to a man named Andy Byron, who was at that time CEO of the New York-based company Astronomer.

Byron appeared to have his arms around Kristin Cabot, the Chief People Officer of Astronomer, who was leaning back into Byron and holding his hands. However, when the pair appeared on the camera, they quickly ducked and sought to get off-screen.

Not realizing at the time that Byron was married, Martin said: “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just really shy.”

In the wake of the viral moment, Martin decided to address the situation head-on when he appeared in front of fans in Hull.

In a video, which has been shared on Reddit, he said: “This is called a jumbotron, and we’ve done this for a long long time, and we pick people out to say hello, and sometimes they – yeah, they turn out to be internationally massive scandal, sure.”

Martin continued: “But most of the time we’re just trying to say hello to f**king people, that’s all. Now all of this bullsh*t.”

Martin went on to send his love to ‘those people’, before warning fans that the jumbotron was coming.

The pair quickly ducked out of view of the camera when they realized they were being shown to tens of thousands of people (TikTok)

“We’re going to do our f**king kiss cam… so if you’re not prepared to be on international news, please duck,” he joked.

Also in Hull, Martin told the crowd: “Life throws you lemons and you’ve got to make lemonade. We are going to keep doing it because we are going to meet some of you.”

After the video of Byron and Cabot went viral, Astronomer announced in a post on LinkedIn that the CEO had ‘tendered his resignation’, adding: “The Board of Directors has accepted.”

Coldplay will perform at Wembley Stadium for 10 show dates from August 19 to September 8, 2025. You can buy tickets on the following sites: StubHub, Viagogo, and TicketNetwork.

Man survives being shot in the chest after cross necklace diverts bullet in shocking miracle

Aiden Perry had been given the necklace as a Christmas present

A man who ‘thought he was going to die’ when he was shot in the chest at point-blank range is thought to have miraculously survived thanks to the gold cross necklace he was wearing at the time.

Aiden Perry, 20, was hanging out a friend’s apartment in Sumter County, Florida on June 7 when the unbelievable situation took place, with reports alleging Perry was shot accidentally with a .40-caliber pistol while his friend was showing off the gun.

The bullet entered Perry’s chest, exited near his armpit and re-entered inside his arm, where it broke his humerus.

Recalling the incident to Fox 35 Orlando, Perry said: “I looked down I see tons of blood. I thought I was going to die, honestly.”

Perry’s friend rushed him to the emergency room at HCA Florida Ocala Hospital, and medics immediately took him into the operating room.

There, doctors realized that despite entering his chest, the bullet hadn’t done any damage to Perry’s major organs.

One of the surgeons who worked on Perry, Khafra Garcia Henry, explained: “The bullet entered his left upper chest around this area and traveled to his left arm.

“When we normally see these injuries, they’re usually devastating injuries. In Aidan’s case, he was fortunate enough where the bullet did not enter his chest wall – it ricocheted off the chain he was wearing.”

Doctors believe that the cross Perry was wearing was located in the exact spot necessary to intercept the bullet, causing the necklace to split in two and ultimately preventing the bullet from causing as much damage as it otherwise could have.

Henry continued: “He’s extremely lucky. A very fortunate young individual because if his chain was not there, the outcome would have been completely different.”

Having learned about the accessory that’s believed to have saved his life, Perry said his faith has grown even stronger.

“It’s just kind of a reminder now – to never stop believing… keep believing and God’s definitely real,” he said.

Speaking to WESH2, Perry held the remains of his necklace and said: “I look at it as a lifesaver. I probably wouldn’t be talking to you guys right now [without it].”

Perry’s dad, who bought his son the necklace as a Christmas present, also credits the family’s faith with helping to prevent Perry from undergoing major damage.

The man accused of shooting Perry was arrested and charged with culpable negligence causing injury.

‘Fake’ Justin Bieber so convincing he tricked entire nightclub and world-famous DJ with ‘wild’ performance

'Fake' Justin Bieber so convincing he tricked entire nightclub and world-famous DJ with 'wild' performance

A guy who resembles Justin Bieber successfully tricked everyone into thinking he was the singer

A DJ has been left red-faced after ‘Justin Bieber’ joined him on stage at a Las Vegas nightclub.

Music-maker Gryffin is thought to have been DJing a set at the Vegas-based nightclub XS when he was told ‘Justin Bieber‘ was in the building and that he wanted to come up on stage and perform with him.

‘Bieber’ then rocked up on stage in a bomber jacket, with his hood up, large sunglasses, and signature baggy jeans with the top of his underpants showing.

Gryffin proceeded to play Bieber’s well-loved track ‘Sorry’ following the request of the singer’s supposed team. The DJ proceeded to announce: “Bieber in the house, y’all!”

However, Gryffin was left extremely surprised to learn that after his set, the ‘Justin Bieber’ that joined him on stage was just someone posing as the ‘DAISIES’ singer.

Whoops.

Videos of the performance have gone viral online, and people’s reactions have been hilarious.

In one video of the guy performing while shirtless shared to TikTok, the poster captioned it: “POV you go clubbing in Vegas and Justin Bieber is performing.”

At the time of writing, this particular clip has been viewed over 345,000 times and sparked dozens of comments.

“That’s Busting Jieber,” one replied, while somebody else said: “I was there last night, I was like that ain’t NO JB.”

“That’s Dustin Beaver from Temu,” joked a third person.

Others noted how nuts the situation was.

“This is crazy that people really think it’s him to the point they let him perform,” one person pointed out, while someone else questioned: “How’d they let him on stage!?”

A third said: “LOL this s**t is wild.”

“The amount of ppl who are starstruck and clueless LOL. Who let this happen,” added another.

Some reports have suggested that the imposter was paid for the performance, but this doesn’t appear to have been the case.

In fact, the impersonator in question (believed to be a French guy named Dylan Desclos) has since been banned from the club.

A spokesperson for Wynn and XS Nightclub told TMZ: “After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage.

“As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.”

UNILAD have also approached the venue for comment.

Baby girl who died from being left in the back of a hot car ‘for hours’ in San Diego – just two months after being adopted by local gay couple

- by USA Facts News - Leave a Comment

A tiny baby girl died after being left in the back of a hot car just two months after her adoptive parents took her home as a newborn.

Diana Sofia Aleman Roman was found unresponsive in the SUV outside her parents’ home in Santee, San Diego, about 12.20am on June 13.

She had been left in the car for several hours in 63F weather when a family member found her and called 911. The baby girl was rushed to hospital but did not survive.

San Diego County Sheriff’s Office detectives are investigating how Diana was forgotten in the car and who left her there. No charges have been filed.

Studies show temperature inside a car can rise to 104F in just half an hour on a 70F day, and reach 115F in an hour. The body’s organs begin to shut down at 107F.

Diana’s parents Romer and Jayson De Los Santos took her home on April 11 after flying to Arizona where they met the baby girl in hospital for the first time.

Adorable photos showed them cradling the infant and introducing her to their two-year-old son, who was also adopted, and Diana at home in her crib.

‘I haven’t slept in days,’ Romer wrote next to one of them.

The couple posted a link to an adoption site profile on social media in November, seeking a second child.

‘Our hearts and home are open to providing more love to another amazing child,’ they wrote on the profile.

‘We want our children to grow up full of memories of playing on the beach, building sandcastles, making friends, biking to the park, going on Hawaiian cruises and learning how to raise foster kittens.’

Romer, a senior consultant at Jama Software, and Jayson, a stay-at-home dad since they adopted their son, have been together for more than 20 years.

They tied the knot in 2008 during the few months when same-sex marriage was legal in California before they were again banned by Proposition 8 until 2013.

The adoption profile described their lives in detail and promised to ‘raise healthy, responsible, and most importantly, kind adults’.

The couple live in a three-bedroom house that has so many animals it is ‘basically a zoo’ with three cats, two dogs, chickens, fish, and a flock of parakeets.

They include a Samoyed named Hero that their son often sleeps on, a west highland white terrier, cats named Shego, Selina, and Puffy, and various foster animals.

Romer is an avid gardener and grows fruit, vegetables, bonsai trees, and flowers in the backyard and Jayson looks after the animals and collects eggs from the chickens.

‘Our house is very popular with our neighbors and their children. They say it’s like a petting zoo… Everybody is so excited to meet our future child,’ they wrote.

The couple wrote that the new baby would have three ‘ready-made best friends’ in three boys aged less than two who lived next door and often played with their son.

‘Seeing how gentle he plays with them we know that he would treasure a little sister or brother, and they will thrive with such a loving big brother,’ they wrote.

The profile explained they both came from big families that often had dinners and parties and went on holiday together.

Romer and Jayson promised the birth parents could visit the child and see as many photos as they wanted.

‘We admire the courage it takes for you to search for just the right family for the new life you are carrying. We recognize that it is not a decision to be taken lightly and understand that love is the source of your selfless act,’ they wrote.

‘We believe we’re not only adopting a child, but also opening our hearts to a whole new family.’

A neighbor told DailyMail.com the couple seemed like good parents and were often seen playing outside with their children.

‘They seem like a nice family who wanted to give a couple of kids a good life, it’s just a shame it didn’t turn out that way,’ they said.

Paramedics rushed to the scene after 911 was called and tried to save Diana, who was rushed to Sharp Grossmont Hospital, where she died.

Neighbors said the ambulance came and left within a few minutes, and doorbell camera footage showed the late-night emergency response.

The county Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause and manner of death.

About 37 children die from being left in a hot car every year across the US, including at least 56 in California since 1998, according to statistics by San Jose State University Adjunct Professor of Meteorology Jan Null for No Heat Stroke.

Texas and Florida had by far the most deaths with 142 and 110, and the hot South and South West had the most per capita.

Children can’t regulate their temperature as efficiently as adults and their body temperatures warm up three to five times faster.

Heatstroke sets in when body temperature reaches 104F and organs begin to shut down at 107F.

Temperatures inside a car can rise to 104F in just half an hour on a 70F day, and reach 115F in an hour. On a 95F day it would get to 140F in an hour.

Cracking the window only reduces the temperature by about 3F.

California law imposes a $100 fine on anyone who lives a child under six in a car ‘where there are conditions that present a significant risk to the child’s health or safety’.

‘Never leave your child alone in a car even for a second to dash into a store or to run a quick errand,’ police said.

‘Summer routines can shift unexpectedly. Even the best parents can forget a quiet or sleeping child is in the backseat of a car.’

Police can also level various charges from neglect to manslaughter depending on what harm comes to the child.

However, parents who mistakenly believe their children were not in the car are often not charged as the pain of losing a child is considered punishment enough.

Some prosecutors still charge parents with manslaughter and many have gone to jail.

As difficult as it is to imagine forgetting your child in a car, experts explain that parents often function on autopilot and lose awareness that a child is there.

Statistics show wide variability in race, socioeconomics, and occupations of parents who fatally left their children in vehicles, suggesting it can happen to anyone.

Cases were rare before the 1990s when parents were advised to put young children in the back seat as their airbag could kill them in an accident.

But this had the unintended consequence of making children strapped into car seats much easier to forget, and even more with rear-facing seats for infants.

No Heat Stroke suggested putting a soft toy in the front seat to remind you there was a child in the car, or putting items you need in the back seat next to the child.

Vehicles should also be locked at all times and keys kept out of reach to stop curious children climbing in and getting locked inside.

‘Teach children that vehicles are never to be used as a play area, and that if they can’t get out of the rear doors, to try the front doors and failing that, to honk the horn to get the attention of others,’ it said.
