When was the last time you worried about your online reputation? Whether you think so or not, you could have an online reputation that could cause problems with your current employer.
That was the case with Bartow County school teacher, Ashely Payne. Payne lost her job after school officials questioned her about images posted on her Facebook page.

Payne says she was forced to resign from her job at Apalachee High School in August 2009 after someone claiming to be a parent sent an email complaining about her vacation pictures.
At issue were several shots of Payne smiling while holding alcoholic beverages during a trip to Europe and there was also a Facebook status update Payne had written, stating she was headed to a game of “Crazy Bitch Bingo” at a Midtown restaurant.
The young teacher subsequently filed a lawsuit, asking the court to determine that she was entitled to a due process hearing. She also sought back pay and money for legal fees, however Superior Court Judge Chief Judge David Motes ruled against her yesterday.
In the ruling, Motes notes that Georgia law maintains that if employees resign, even when their hands are forced, it doesn’t equal an involuntary termination.
Whooda thought that one could lose a job over a photo holding an alcoholic beverage? 😕

Soooo….word on the curb is that Beyonce’s fake pillow baby belly folded and collapsed on LIVE television.? 
As the superstar mom to-be arrived on the set of an interview for Sunday Night HD (HD as in “high-definition”), she was glowing as all pregnant women are but as she sat down, there was a look of shock on her face.
Now, Beyonce’s baby bump is known to play hide & seek occasionally but never in a gazillion years would I have ever suspected that she would go so far as to wear a FAKE belly!
So there was Bey sitting down on the set ? and there was her prosthetic baby bump, folding, crumpling and collapsing in full, vibrant high definition!
Luckily, the prosthetic is that memory foam type that bounced right back into shape. Rumor has it that Beyonc? is wearing a fake prosthetic while her unknown surrogate carries her baby to term. (source)
So has Beyonce been selling us all a baby bump dream?
