With celebrities like Tim Gunn calling out the fashion industry for failing to cater to women of all sizes, Meijer is making some changes. 
  
 Tuesday, Nov. 1, the retailer announced the plus-size departments in all stores across the Midwest will be integrated into missy and women’s -- placing straight and extended sizes on one rack. 
  
 According to a press release, Meijer "is proud to create a shopping experience based on trends, not size." 
  
 “Over the past few years, we’ve placed an increased focus on bringing more on-trend, affordable apparel to our customers,” said Peter Whitsett, executive vice president of merchandising and marketing in the release. “This fresh approach to shopping represents a continuation of that commitment, giving our customers the trends they’re looking for, regardless of what size they wear.” 
  
 As part of this change, Meijer is also rolling out equal pricing for all women’s apparel items, no longer charging more for plus sizes despite the higher production costs. There are no plans to raise existing clothing prices. 
  
 This shopping experience is currently available in 15 Meijer stores. Customers will see a full roll-out to all 230 stores by early 2017. |||||  
  
 WALKER, MI - Meijer Inc. is showing its commitment to plus-size apparel by getting rid of the plus-size department, and putting all clothing on the same rack. 
  
 The Michigan-based retailer says all women's clothing, regardless of size, will be in one location. The clothing, sizes XS through 3X, will also be at the same price, even if that means Meijer pays higher production costs for the larger sizes. 
  
 "It's a big deal for our customers," said Annette Repasch, the retailer's group vice president of softlines, which includes clothing. "We are giving them trends of what they are looking for, regardless of size." 
  
 The approach of same sizes, same place, same price is revolutionary in the retail business, Repasch said. 
  
 "We are looking to see how it goes and are willing to pioneer it," she said. 
  
 The new policy is for both Meijer brands, such as Falls Creek, Massini and MTA, as well as major label brands carried by the retailer and its competitors. 
  
 Another benefit of combining all sizes into one department is that it frees up floor space for more apparel options, the company said. 
  
 Meijer began experimenting with the new approach in June at 15 stores, and will roll out the new configuration to all of its 230 Midwest stores by early 2017. 
  
 The decision comes as the average American woman now wears a size 16 to 18, motivating retailers to improve their plus-size clothing options, reports the Wall Street Journal.

One retailer believes it's found a way to ease the stigma felt by certain shoppers while at the same time improving sales. The Wall Street Journal reports Meijer will be desegregating its plus-size clothing in its 230 stores by early 2017. Most stores keep their plus-size sections out of the way and don't offer plus-size clothing in as many styles. That will no longer be the case at Meijer. WZZM quotes Meijer executive Peter Whitsett, who says the change gives "our customers the trends they're looking for, regardless of what size they wear." Meijer will now have all its clothes, from XS to XXXL, on the same racks. It also won't charge more for larger sizes. The change means Meijer will have to eat the extra cost of plus-size clothing, something the company says is worth it. "It's a big deal for our customers," Mlive.com quotes Meijer executive Annette Repasch as saying. "We are giving them trends of what they are looking for, regardless of size." Sales of plus-size clothing are growing twice as fast as any other clothing segment. It's estimated that sales of plus-size clothing will be up 17% this year from 2013. It's also estimated that 34% of teens will buy plus-size clothing this year—nearly double what it was in 2012. (Amy Schumer says a magazine sent the wrong message by labeling her plus-size.)

 Serena Williams' Wedding, Huge Stars, Tennis Themes and Bell Biv DeVoe! 
  
 Here's one case where Bell Biv DeVoe broke their own rule -- and totally trusted a big butt and a smile ... because they were some of the VIPs at Serena Williams' wedding!! 
  
 It all went down in New Orleans on Thursday night -- where huge stars like Kelly Rowland, Ciara, La La Anthony, Boris Kodjoe, Kim Kardashian and Caroline Wozniacki partied until the early morning. 
  
 And here's the first look at Serena's dress ... 
  
 A post shared by Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) on Nov 17, 2017 at 5:27pm PST 
  
 As we previously reported, Serena and her (now) husband Alexis Ohanian went all out on the party -- and due to the fact the guys from BBD were there and wearing matching clothing ... we're guessing they performed live. 
  
 The decorations were tennis-themed -- the guest seating placards were in the shape of Wimbledon and U.S. Open trophies. Pretty damn awesome. 
  
 We'll have more on this throughout the day-- so keep checking back! 
  
 Mazel! ||||| Serena Williams is a married woman. 
  
 The tennis sensation wed Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian Thursday evening in New Orleans. 
  
 The couple, who are proud new parents of 11-week-old daughter Alexis Olympia Jr., tied the knot at the Contemporary Arts Center in the French Quarter, where they said their “I do’s” in front of a star-studded crowd, including Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian and Vogue editor Anna Wintour. People also reported newly engaged Caroline Wozniacki joined the festivities with her future husband, former Knick David Lee. 
  
 While Williams, 36, confirmed to Vanity Fair that she and Ohanian, 34, would wed this fall, much of their glitzy ceremony was shrouded in secrecy until hours before. Sources told Page Six the guests weren’t informed of the wedding locale in advance and told cars would pick them up from their hotels on the day of the event. Those invited were also said to be banned from posting snaps on social media, given that Williams inked a deal to share her wedding photos exclusively with Vogue. 
  
 They started dating in 2015, and Ohanian popped the question to Williams a year later while the twosome vacationed in Rome. The tennis pro later announced the engagement on Reddit. 
  
 “This time he made it not by chance / But by choice,” Williams gushed. “Down on one knee / He said 4 words / And I said yes,” Williams shared. 
  
 Months after getting engaged, Williams accidentally revealed her pregnancy in April, showcasing her baby bump on Snapchat. She and Ohanian welcomed their first child in September. 
  
 Williams is expected to return to the tennis circuit next year. |||||
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian got married Thursday night in a New Orleans wedding ceremony that Page Six reports was "shrouded in secrecy until hours before." Sources say even the guests didn't know where the wedding would be held until cars picked them up from their hotels and they were taken to the venue, the French Quarter's Contemporary Arts Center. Once they arrived, the guests—who included Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, and Anna Wintour—were not allowed to post photos on social media, though People has photos of guests arriving. TMZ reports the nuptials were tennis-themed, with guests' place cards in the form of tennis trophies. Williams, 36, and Reddit co-founder Ohanian, 34, just had a daughter together.

Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno has a treatable form of lung cancer, his son Scott said Friday. 
  
 Scott Paterno said in a statement his dad was undergoing treatment and that "his doctors are optimistic he will make a full recovery." 
  
 Scott Paterno said the illness was diagnosed during a follow-up visit last weekend for a bronchial illness. 
  
 "As everyone can appreciate, this is a deeply personal matter for my parents, and we simply ask that his privacy be respected as he proceeds with treatment," Scott Paterno said in a brief statement.

 Paterno was fired last week by Penn State with the school engulfed in a scandal involving sex abuse charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. 
  
 Paterno had announced plans to resign at the end of the season, but the board of regents made the decision to remove him and school president Graham Spanier. 
  
 The NCAA informed Penn State in a letter it will conduct an investigation into the school's actions surrounding the scandal. 
  
 Paterno coached the Nittany Lions for 46 season and led the school to national championship in 1982 and 1986. He is the winningest coach in major college history with 409 victories. 
  
 But his legacy as a coach has come under attack with the allegations against Sandusky, who was his assistant from 1969-99. 
  
 Assistant coach Mike McQueary testified before a grand jury that he witnessed Sandusky engaged in a sex act with a young boy in 2002. McQueary said that he told Paterno about the incident the following day. 
  
 Paterno testified before the grand jury that eventually charged Sandusky with 40 crimes. He said he told athletics director Tim Curley about McQueary's story, but never went to police. Curley is charged with perjury and failure to report a crime. 
  
 "This is a tragedy," Paterno said in a statement when he announced plans to resign at the end of the season. "It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."

 07/19/2013 ||||| NCAA President Mark Emmert has sent a letter to Penn State informing the university that its athletic programs will be investigated by the NCAA. 
  
 The investigation is being performed following the charges of sexual abuse against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
