Lena Fokina, the hardbodied Russian viral video star seen swinging babies here and here, is real. She teaches baby yoga for a living and raised two (seemingly) healthy daughters that way. And she just gave her first American interview!

Amy Chua, author of the Wall Street Journal's much-maligned "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior," did a Q&A about her heinous child-rearing techniques. She swears she isn't that monstrous. Watch the "tiger mother" do her best impression of a harmless kitten.

The following video shows a Russian lady subjecting a squirming baby to "dynamic exercises" that involve swinging it by its arms and ankles, upside down and over her head. Oddly, there is precedent: Russian swinging baby videos are a meme.

This weekend, we all eradicated child abuse by changing our Facebook profile pictures to cartoon characters. Or did we? According to the stupidest rumor I have ever heard, pedophiles are behind the useless campaign, for some idiotic made-up reason.

When Facebook users put their mind to it, they can do anything: Now they've banded together to defeat child abuse once and for all. By changing their profile pictures to 90s and 80s cartoon characters!

San Diego's Catholic Diocese released around 10,000 pages of documents relating to abuse perpetuated by 48 priests.

Jayla Hamm, the teenager who duct-taped her toddler to the wall, has custody of her son once again. She'll serve 10 days in jail over the course of five weekends for the stunt. Unfortunately, she won't be taped up herself.

Two teenagers were sentenced to jail after duct-taping a 22-month-old child to the wall. The pictures—here with the child's face obscured—show him stuck to the wall at uncomfortable angles and with tape directly on his bare skin.

Britney hasn't exactly denied her bodyguard's claim that she had sex in front of her sons, beat them, and poisoned them. Instead, she issued a statement noting Children's Services investigated her, but didn't take away her kids. So there! [BritneySpears.com]

A study released today in the Journal of Pediatrics says that giving children drugs to shut up is child abuse, and motives include "overwhelmed parents looking for a break, amusement or punishment." Amusement? Ha! Look, my kid's on Oxys! [CNN]

Wanna read something depressing about our legal system today? We recommend this article: "I took some photos of my kids naked on a camping trip. A drugstore employee called the police — and my family's life became a living hell."

We've heard Mel Gibson tell Oksana Grigorieva she "deserved" getting punched. Now, a fight about his daughter: "You hit me and you hit her, while she was in my hands." Mel's response: "You need a fucking kick up the ass."

After a former bodyguard filed a report that Britney Spears beat her two sons, the L.A. Department of Child and Family Services paid a visit her home. Social workers found nothing wrong, except Britney's collection of Daisy Dukes.

Onetime TV star Bronson Pinchot has some not-so-nice things to say about Tom Cruise. Fate will bring Octomom and Jon Gosselin together. Salman Rushdie is still pining for Padma. Presenting your Tuesday morning Gossip Roundup!

Remember when Halle Berry got a big kiss from Adrien Brody when he won his Oscar a couple years back? British comedian James Gordon certainly does. He forcibly made out with Harry Potter/Daniel Radcliffe at a recent UK awards ceremony, perhaps as some sort of horribly misguided homage. Harry/Daniel seems very confused at first, but then does a little arm reach to play along (though he probably wants to poke Gordon's eyes out) and everyone else claps and cheers uncomfortably. [Mirror] Brief, awkward video after the jump. Also featuring crusty old playwright Peter Shaffer!
