We’re not crying, okay? YOU’RE the ones who are crying. Okay, fine, perhaps we can all just admit to the production of many tears, considering the amazing news that has now been confirmed about Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson: They are first-time parents! “After a long and difficult labor, our girl arrived,” the famous couple revealed to Us Weekly on Monday afternoon. They added in this special exclusive: “When we finally got to see and hold our precious Bella Milagro all the pain instantly went away. “We can’t believe she is ours – she is so perfect!” “She definitely has lived up to her name which means, ‘beautiful miracle.’ Today we are basking in God’s goodness!” In a subsequent Instagram post, Lauren and Josiah announced the news themselves, informing followers of their newborn’s full name, along with her date and time of birth: Look who’s here! Bella Milagro Duggar was born November 8th, 2019 at 4:24 pm, weighing 6lbs 5oz and 18.5 inches long. Our hearts are so full! We are so thankful for God blessings us with such a healthy baby girl! Oh, and they included this photo! Yup. She’s perfect. The little one came into this world at 6 pounds and 5 ounces, measuring 18.5 inches in length. Her arrivial would be a miracle and a blessing under any circumstance, of course. But the Counting On stars suffered a tragic miscarriage late last year. “A couple months ago, we found out that we were expecting, but suddenly thereafter, we lost our baby,” Lauren said in a clip posted by TLC in February 2019. Said Josh in this same piece of heartbreaking footage: “It really was a hard time for our family going through this right after we got married. And all the dreams of getting to see our little one and hold it in our hands dashed before our eyes.” The pair said they to tell their story because “nobody really talks about it,” Lauren explained. “We just wanted to let y’all know that you’re not alone.” Simply devastating. In May, though, the reality stars took fans by tremendous surprise when they announced Lauren was pregnant for the second time. “We are so excited to announce that baby No. 2 is on the way!!!!” they shared on Instagram, adding at the time: “It’s hard to fully express just how grateful we are for God blessing us again with another precious gift! “So, as we rejoice of the life of our second sweet baby, we also remember our other sweet baby, Asa, in heaven.” “God is so incredibly good!” As recently as October 10, Josiah and Lauren were still paying tribute to the child they lost and to all the other children that have been lost in this heartbreaking manner. “Sending love this month to any parent who has lost a baby,” they wrote on Instagram, continuing as follows: “Losing a little life at any stage is heartbreaking and devastating and should not go unnoticed.” “For all you mamas, yes, even you mamas who’s arms have never had the chance to hold your babies-you’re a Mama! Remember, that you are loved. “You are a warrior. You are not alone. You are not forgotten.” The TLC personalities, who got married in July of 2018, aren’t the only Duggars to have welcomed a baby girl this year. Try to follow along here, but… Jessa Seewald (née Duggar) gave birth to her and Ben Seewald’s first daughter, Ivy, in May. This event was followed by Kendra Duggar‘s baby girl on November 2. And then, in literal related news, Abbie Duggar (née Burnett) and Anna Duggar (née Keller) are both currently pregnant with girls. “It’s definitely brought us closer, just to share the same feelings,” Lauren told Us Weekly back in October of sharing this experience – harrowing as it was – with her sisters-in-law. She added: “[There’s] sympathy. You have that pregnancy brain where you forget things, so [we] remind each other, ‘Oh, yeah, I need to do this before my baby comes.’ … It’s very special.

Jill Duggar Comes Clean: I Suck at Cooking! I Ruin My Kids’ Food!

Posted on November 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

With two kids at home and a husband in law school , we think it’s safe to say Jill Duggar has a lot on her plate these days. Unfortunately, her kids can’t say the same, because Jill keeps burning their meals! We kid Jill, of course. We’re sure that on her best days, she’s perfectly capable of conjuring one of those bizarre Duggar specialties like tater tot casserole or “the chickennetti,” which In Touch describes as “spaghetti, chicken, broth, canned tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, Velveeta cheese.” Perhaps not surprisingly, that particular atrocity is Josh’s favorite. Anyway, Jill was cooking a more traditional “meal” earlier this week when things went horribly awry in a hilarious way. According to her Instagram Story, Jill attempted to prepare a mac and cheese cup for her youngest son, Sam, but she missed a crucial step in the process. “Can’t really see it here but it’s a little bit smokey in here because yours truly was a little bit distracted while making mac ‘n’ cheese,” Jill said, while showing off the burned cup. “Those little mac ‘n’ cheese cups, this is what’s left of Sam’s mac ‘n’ cheese. I forgot to add water to it,” she added. “So it started smoking and I was like, standing there looking. I was like, ‘Oh that’s interesting.’” Interesting, indeed. To her credit, Jill is offering up this story as a relatable mom moment. Self-deprecation is not exactly the Duggars’ strong suit, and it took guts for Jill to break from the family norm like this. “I didn’t notice there was any kind of smoke, it must be really hot coming out of top of the thing here.’ I was like, ‘Oh it looks a little smokey up here like, pouring across the ceiling,’” the mother of two continued. “And I was like, ‘What’s that?’ And then I was like, ‘Uhhh,’ and I checked the microwave. I opened the microwave and I’m like ‘Ooh, I forgot to add water,’”  “Note to everyone … you have to add water to mac ‘n’ cheese or it will turn into a black noodle melted mess LOL.” Fortunatelly, the story had a happy ending, as it was later updated with a short clip of a very eager Sam accepting Jill’s successful second attempt — an un-burnt offering of mac and cheese. There’s a joke to be made here about the link between the Kraft corporation and happy endings , but it would be inappropriate for an article about a family so chaste as the Duggars. So you’ll just have to imagine it for yourself.  Feel free to involve Tom Brady. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: Here’s Why Fans Think They’re Getting Divorced

The Definitive Duggar Family Tree: A Complete Guide to Courtships and Babies!

Posted on November 7, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Large sections of the Old Testament are devoted to genealogies — lengthy lists of couplings and the biblically-significant offspring that they begat. Given the Duggars' love for the Good Book, we're sure someone in the family has compiled a similar compendium of the courtships and marriages that led to the creation of Jim Bob and Michelle's many granchildren. It might seem like it would take a monastic scholar to keep track of the rapid expansion of the Counting On clan, but we managed to create a complete list of the #LittleDuggars without locking ourselves in an abbey with a quill and parchment. But that's not to say it was a simple task. After all, Jim Bob and Michelle have a lot of kids, and those kids are very dedicated to the task of populating Northwest Arkansas with Duggars. So sit back, grab a Duggar-friendly snack (might we suggest a jar of pickles?) and explore the family tree of the most beloved Baptist brood on reality TV: 1. Meet the Duggars The Duggar family seems to get bigger by the day. In fact, the Counting On clan has welcomed so bundles of joy in the past decade that some fans might find it difficult to keep up. 2. Humble Beginnings Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar had their first child, Josh, in 1988. Needless to say, they didn’t stop there. 3. Fame Comes Calling The family first rose to national prominence with a series of Discovery Health and TLC documentaries that mostly focused on Michelle’s last five deliveries. 4. A Bunch of Stars Are Born Viewers couldn’t get enough of the wholesome Arkansas clan, and it wasn’t long before the Duggars had their own show. 5. On the Grow Initially titled 17 Kids and Counting, the series documented the adventures and unorthodox customs of the still-expanding Duggar clan. 6. Overlapping Generations That expansion occurred in more ways than one, as Jim Bob and Michelle welcomed their youngest child (Josie Duggar, now 9) AFTER welcoming their first grandchild.

Jedidiah Duggar Announces Run For Arkansas House of Representatives: I’m Even More Conservative Than Jim Bob, Y’all!

Posted on November 4, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Well, we knew the day would come when the next generation of Duggars would follow Jim Bob's lead and run for public office. We just didn't think the first one to throw his hat in the ring would be only a few months out of his teens. For a long time, it looked as though Josh Duggar would enter the political arena, but a handful of sex scandals derailed his career while he was still in the lobbyist stage. And so, Josh is in exile (read: selling used cars in rural Arkansas), and it's his brother Jedidiah who's taken up the mantel of public service. This week, 20-year-old Jed announced that he's running for a seat in the Arkansas House of Representatives. The election is still a year away, but thanks to Jed's status as a member of reality TV's most controversial family, his campaign is already gaining a lot of attention. Take a look: 1. Jed! Jed announced this week that he’s running for a seat in the Arkansas House of Representatives. If he’s smart, he’ll learn from the mistakes of that OTHER Jed from a famous family and avoid exclamation marks on his campaign signs. 2. Jedsite Jed’s official campaign site launched this week, and you probably won’t be surprised to learn the scion of Jim Bob leans HARD to the right in his policy positions. 3. Facing the Issues You want issues? Jed’s got ’em! His site lays out his stance on seven hot-button topics, and you better believe Jed’s got strong opinions about God and guns. 4. The Resume School? Who’s got time for it? Jed may have not have spent much (or any) time in a classroom … or the military … or even in a full-time job (no, being the nominal head of one of your dad’s car lots doesn’t count) — but he worked on a state senator’s campaign for a couple months last year! 5. Life? Jed’s In Favor of It To the surprise of absolutely no one, Jed is vehemently pro-life. He threw “100%” in there, so it’s safe to assume he opposes abortion even in cases of rape, incest, or medical issues that might threaten the mother’s life. Definitely the kind of decision you want a 20-year-old virgin to make for you. 6. Nothing Says “Pro-Life” Like an Assault Weapon! Not surprisingly, Jed is also big on guns. It’s a passion that led him to enlist in the US — oh, wait … like the rest of the Duggars, Jed talks a big game about patriotism but has never considered serving in the military. View Slideshow

Derick Dillard on Jim Bob Duggar: He Keeps All the Money and Lets His Kids Starve!

Posted on October 18, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We hate to say we told you so, but — well, we’re about to do exactly that. For months now, rumors of a feud between Jill Duggar and her parents have been circulating non-stop. And earlier this week, we reported that both parties are no longer making much of an effort to conceal their mutual disdain for one another. It all started when the entire Duggar clan went to LA to visit Jinger  — and left Jill at home. (Joy-Anna Duggar didn’t make the trip either, but that’s because she was on an elk hunting trip in Colorado with her husband’s family.) That wasn’t the only recent indication of bad blood, but it’s a pretty major public snub from a family that usually prefers to keep its beefs under wraps. And now, it looks as though Jill’s husband, Derick Dillard, has decided to respond in kind. Way back in March of 2018, a fan on Twitter asked Derick about the rumor that he tried to get TLC to pay for Jill’s hospital bills after she delivered their baby. Now, as we know from the many times that Derick bullied Jazz Jennings on Twitter, the guy is very, very active on the site. But for some reason, he waited until today — 19 months after the question was asked! — to respond to the hospital bill query: “Derick did you ask TLC to pay a hospital bill, if so why?” the fan tweeted last year. “I thought it was fair to ask in negotiating … TLC made lots of money in filming a birth special episode, and they had not offered to pay us anything,” Dillard replied today . “So I thought, at the very least, they could reimburse 5-10K for medical expenses. TLC sure made more than that off of us.”  Now, it seems to us that Jim Bob had slapped a muzzle on Derick and forbidden him to talk about the family’s business relationship with TLC. These days, however, it appears that Derick is fully off the leash. And if that little exchange wasn’t enough to convince you that Der is no longer worried about protecting Jim Bob’s public image, check this out:  “So why does Jim Bob get all the money for the show and doesn’t give any to his children? The actual stars of the show,” the fan followed up, prompting Derick to reply: “I don’t know. You would have to ask him that.” Folks, that’s some serious shade. Sure, it’s not the level of trash talk one typically hears from feuding reality stars, but these are the Duggars we’re talking about. This might be the closest we ever get to to a public declaration of war — and we can’t wait to see hoe Jim Bob responds!

Jinger Duggar: Did She Tone Down Her "Rebellious" Look For Her Parents’ Visit?

Posted on October 14, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Of all the Duggar children, no one has blazed their own trail quite like Jinger. Jinger first earned the “rebel” label when she began wearing pants, a violation of the strict Duggar dress code , which requires women to wear long skirts at all times. (Jinger committed her first act of sartorial defiance only after she was married and only with her husband’s permission, but hey — given her parents’ famously low tolerance for non-conformity, that pair of Levi’s must have felt as dangerous as any mohawk.) Since then, Jinger has broken with the Duggar belief system in a number of subtle, but significant ways. For starters, she married a man her father openly disapproved of. After her wedding, Jinger waited more than a year to get pregnant — a customary practice in most parts of the world, but the stuff of scandal in a community in which girls are taught from a young age that procreation is their primary reason for being. Most recently, Jinger moved to Los Angeles with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, and her daughter, Felicity. Even though the family relocated so that Jeremy could attend a divinity school in the area, Jinger’s parents reportedly disapproved. In fact, the move prompted rumors that Jinger had been disowned by her parents . Last week, however, something remarkable happened. With no advanced notice, Jim Bob and Michelle — along with 16 of their children — made the trip out west and visited Jinger in LA for the first time. Some flew, some drove RVs, and Jinger was reportedly overjoyed to see her parents and all but two of her siblings. (Jill and Joy-Anna were unable to make the trip for reasons that remain unclear.) Obviously, Jinger did not have to do any traveling, and she wasn’t able to accommodate dozens of guests in her home. (It’s unclear how many Duggar children and in-laws made the journey.) But that doesn’t mean nothing was required of her. According to a new report from Radar Online, Jinger made a major concession to her parents’ belief system and re-adopted the Duggar dress code during their visit. “Just last week Jinger was wearing ripped jeans, and before that, short shorts,” an insider tells the site. “The moment her parents come to town she goes back to wearing dresses,” Yes, we suppose it’s easy to be a rebel when your parents are 1,500 miles away, but a bit more difficult when they’re staying at the Marriott down the street. It’s unclear if Jim Bob and Michelle requested this favor of Jinger, or if she simply chose to surprise them with her return to “modest attire.” Some folks are taking this as a sign that Jinger really was disowned by her parents and is currently working hard to get back into their good graces. That’s a bit of a stretch. But whatever the case, it seems Jinger is still very much concerned with remaining on Jim Bob’s good side.

Anna Duggar: Did She LOSE One of Her Kids in LA?!

Posted on October 11, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Anna Duggar has a lot on her plate these days. Of course, as a mother of five, she pretty much always has a lot on her plate, but these days, things are especially hectic. Anna is pregnant with her sixth kid , but since child-rearing is regarded as woman’s work, she’s still expected to perform her usual slate of household duties. Currently, the Duggars are in Los Angeles visiting Jinger and her family. That sounds like the premise for a hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy, but for Anna, the situation was anything but funny when she lost one of her kids during a museum visit on Thursday. According to Radar Online, witnesses saw Anna frantically running through the halls of the Autry Museum after her 2-year-old son Mason wandered off. “Where’s Mason? Where’s Mason?” Anna was heard asking her kids and clueless husband. “You guys were supposed to be watching him! Where is he?” she further queried. One onlooker says Anna was “circling around the maze of exhibits for two minutes” before Jinger informed her from another room that she’d located the tyke. “It’s ok, Anna, I found him! He’s here with us,” Jinger was heard reporting. Witnesses say Josh was “oblivious” to the situation and only realized the extent of the emergency once Mason had been located. So you can add “being a negligent doofus” to the ever-growing list of reasons to dislike Josh. One insider tells Radar that the episode is indicative of the situation within Josh and Anna’s family. “Anna has a lot she’s dealing with and it doesn’t seem Josh has her back,” says the source. “She has to rely on other family members to watch her kids and she’s got another one on the way,” the insider adds. “I don’t know how Anna deals with it.” Yeah, we don’t either. More importantly, we don’t know why she deals with it. But for whatever reason, despite his many scandals and his general, all-around loserness, Anna is still 100 percent on board with her idiot husband. Josh and Anna celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary  last month, and Anna paid tribute to Josh in a number of heartfelt social media posts. “The joys we’ve experienced together have far surpassed the shadows of sorrow we’ve walked through,” she wrote in one. “Shadows of sorrow” sounds like a good description for much of Josh and Anna’s marriage. It also sounds like a cool name for a metal band, but that’s a conversation for another time. View Slideshow: Anna Duggar Blasts Josh Haters: We Will NEVER Get Divorced!

Real Housewives of Orange County Star Details First Threesome with Husband

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s not unusual for a member of The Real Housewives of Orange County franchise to spill lots of tea. But Braunwyn Windham-Burke just did something unusual in an interiew with Bravo: She spilled lots of tea… about herself! And her somewhat kinky sex life, we should add. On last week’s new episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, we learned that Windham-Burke and her husband have been involved in at least one threesome. We know this because Windham-Burke told us. The reality star added at the time that she would “never tell those stories” from this experience… but then she was pressed yesterday on the experience by Bravo. And she told the story. For starters, the threesome took place on husband Sean’s 35th birthday. Yes, Braunwyn and Sean knew the other woman and, no, the sexual act wasn’t planned in advance… not exactly, at least. “Things had been happening. We were at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego for his 35th birthday. We rented out every bottom room,” Windham-Burke explained, adding in more detail: “We had friends from everywhere and like everyone lost their damn minds. “I’ve been with him a long time, everything we’ve done, we’ve done together. So it was sort of like, that would be fun.” Hey, some folks would agree. We’re not here to judge. Continued the Real Housewife and the Really Candid Sexual Partner: “I kinda was like, this is your birthday present. It started as a joke and then became every monumental birthday, this will be your gift. “That’s not a hard and fast rule. But Sean is crazy and you’ve met Sean, he doesn’t seem crazy at all. He’s super nice and buttoned up, but he’s super wild too.” Windham-Burke went on to say that these threesomes are always with another woman, never another man. Braunwyn also warned against ever having one with a friend, “that’s a hard and fast rule.” Sounds pretty exciting and interesting… except that Windham-Burke’s co-stars don’t actually believe this happened. Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14 Episode 9 Online “I think they’re full of shit,” Kelly Dodd told Bravo. “I think they do that for shock value. I don’t think they’re like that because they have a really nice family home environment, I don’t think they do that.” Added Gina Kirschenheiter, also a critic: “I think it’s kinda sad actually. I think personally, I’ve thought about it a little bit. I think her husband may have cheated on her.” Wow, well… okay then! Apparently we’re going there now, huh? Tamra Judge, for her part, also came out swinging in reaction to this confession. “So she just embraces the other girl?” asked Judge. “I don’t think it’s that,” Gina replied in a video Bravo posted online. “I think she is now feeling like okay now I need to satisfy my husband … if I let that into my world and my bedroom, it keeps everybody satisfied. “I think that’s more damage control,” she added. “And her not being confident in herself and her needing attention.” This sure took a turn, didn’t it? Can’t a reality star just detail threesomes with her husband without her so-called friends calling her out for it? Sheesh! View Slideshow: 13 Scandals That Rocked The Real Housewives Franchise

Bella Thorne Unveils "Camera Shy" New Girlfriend in Topless Pics!

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bella Thorne came out of the closet years ago and, more recently, clarified that she is pansexual . A lot of people take time to find the right label. This week, she took to social media to reveal her new girlfriend, whom she describes as “camera shy.” You can’t blame her — since the photos that Bella chose to share featured the two of them entirely topless. “She’s very cute,” Bella Thorne writes in the captions of the two photos that you are about to see. We can’t see her new lady love’s face in the photo, which is why she felt the need to clarify. She then admits: “First girl I have dated that’s camera shy.” Hey, that means that said girl is probably not using Bella to build her brand! Though to be honest, we didn’t think that she was in the first place. The new girlfriend in question is Alex Martini. Bella remains in an open relationship with boyfriend Benjamin Mascolo, who showed some love to the photos. “You girls are cute,” he commented, including a black heart emoji. Bella’s ex Tana Mangeau commented: “Yes Martini!” Just this summer, Bella put Tana on blast , so it’s good to see that they’re on so much better terms these days. So who is Alex Martini? She is a tattoo enthusiast, even enduring multiple lengthy tattoo sessions to turn her back into a work of art. (You know that we have a photo of that below) Alex is a lesbian — we don’t just mean that she likes girls, but has referred to herself by that specific label on Instagram. And here, you can see her face as she absolutely rocks a plaid shirt, reminding everyone why the LGBTQ+ community owns plaid flannel as a concept. She looks great! It’s not clear how long Bella and Alex have been dating, but they’ve been engaging with each other on social media since September at least. By the way, Alex is also in the entertainment industry, but she works behind the scenes on tons of TV and movie projects. She’s worked on everything from major streaming projects to, a number of years ago, being a production assistant on Keeping Up With The Kardashians . Alex is also a dedicated cat mom. Awwww! Unfortunately, in part because of Bella’s larger-than-life persona but also because of general bigotry, we know that some people won’t respond well to this post. Some people just don’t like LGBTQ+ people, or try to erase bi and pan folks (who outnumber all of the rest of us combined, let’s be clear). Some will disguise their bigotry by objecting to “flaunting” in ways that they would never discuss a straight couple. Then there are those who roll their eyes at “open relationships.” It’s very nearly 2020, folks. Open relationships and polyamory are a thing. If it doesn’t sound realistic, or you can’t imagine jealousy not ruining it, then it’s probably not the right relationship for you . Remember, there are plenty of people for whom monogamy sounds like an unthinkable horror. Different relationships for different people. It is a wonder to see Bella so happy and alive. She has had her emotional ups and downs and is known for being very real about all of that witn fans. Congratulations to Bella and Alex on this relationship. They look so cute together!

Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson Stun Fans, Almost Get to First Base on Instagram

Posted on October 8, 2019 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

For Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson, first came love. And then came marriage. And, pretty soon, will come a baby in a baby carriage. This classic nursery rhyme is appropriate in this case because, first, it very much applies to the famous couple and, second, they were totally just caught (although not in a tree) K-I-S-S-I-N-G. Duggar and Swanson shared a handful of new photos on their joint Instagram account this week, displaying an unusual amount of public affection for members of this polarizing family. You can check out the romantic snapshots above and below. “Love doing life with you” wrote the twosome as a sweet caption, adding: “Btw I’m ready for fall, Siah is still in summer. #date #blessed.” As you can see here, Josiah and Lauren are engaged in a lengthy peck on each other’s lips, nearly getting to first base in the process — yet narrowly missing the accomplishment by keeping their tongues in their respective mouths. The couple did not swap spit of any kind, of course, until they got married in June of 2018 . Shortly thereafter, Josiah and Lauren swapped some bodily fluids, resulting in the latter getting pregnant… only for Lauren to suffer a tragic miscarriage several months ago . “I just want to thank each and everyone of you for your prayers, support, and for all you Mama’s out there for sharing your angel baby stories,” the Counting On star captioned an Instagram photo back in March, adding at the time: “It’s easy to share those happy times in our lives, but sharing something hard, like losing a baby can be like putting salt to a wound. “I know by y’all sharing your stories it has not only helped me, but many other women who have gone through the same trials.” Just a short while later, by the grace of God some might say, Lauren and Josiah announced they were expecting for a second time. “We are so excited to announce that baby No. 2 is on the way!!!!” they wrote on May 20, adding in excitement  and gratitude: “It’s hard to fully express just how grateful we are for God blessing us again with another precious gift! “So, as we rejoice of the life of our second sweet baby, we also remember (balloon as symbolism) our other sweet baby, Asa, in heaven. God is so incredibly good! “#MiraclesDoHappen, #babynumber2, #rainbowbaby and #DaddyandMamaof2blessings.” In June, we then learned the stars are having a girl. Lauren, for her part, has been keeping fans well apprised of her status and her baby bump via a number of social media posts and pictures. On August 10, she posted some photos of herself showing off her stomach and wrote: “Life is such a gift and something I cherish more now, with all that we have gone through this past year. “This pregnancy hasn’t been easy. I treasure every moment and I am reminded daily that life is truly a miracle from God. “#blessed #lifeisagift #donttakelifeforgranted.” We don’t know for certain when Lauren is due, but we wish her nothing but good health and happiness.
