Lauren Conrad: Pregnant with Baby #2!

As tragically reported in the past, Lauren Conrad will not be taking part in  The Hills: New Beginnings . She’s chosen to distance herself from the upcoming reality show revival. Ironically, however, the beloved former lead cast member of just the plain old The Hills is about to embark on a brand new beginning in her personal life. Which is a roundabout way of saying the following: Lauren Conrad is pregnant with her second child! The gorgeous The Hills alum made the exciting announcement on Instagram today, sharing a side photo of her baby bump under a floral-patterned dress and writing as a very straightforward caption: It’s been hard to keep this one to myself! Very excited to share that our family will be getting a little bigger this year. Check out the baby bump image here: Conrad and husband William Tell welcomed their first child, a son named Liam James, on July 5, 2017. This blessed event took place after the co-founder of The Little Market and her lawyer love got married in a September 2014 sunset ceremony at a boutique winery. A decade before this ceremony, an 18-year-old Conrad sky-rocketed to prominence after being cast on Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, which documented her and her friends’ lives in their hometown of Laguna Beach, California. This series was then spunoff to create The Hills two years later. Conrad pursued a career in the fashion industry on The Hills, while also feuding often with Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. But while those two ex-reality stars haven’t managed to find much happiness outside of the spotlight ever since The Hills went off the air, Conrad has very clearly moved on from her MTV life. Conrad has remained mostly on the sidelines of any real celebrity gossip over the past several years, content to build her own business and spend time with her family. Hence, her decision not to participate in this summer’s The Hills reboot. Heck, Conrad didn’t even take the bait when someone named Justin-Bobby Brescia hurled shade in her direction shortly after The Hills reboot cast was announced. “When you’ve got sh-tty people running around, it creates this ambiance you don’t need,” he said last August, clearly referencing Conrd and her absence from the new series. But Conrad didn’t see a need to respond. However, she did announce recently that we’ll be hearing plenty from her in the future — in podcast form! The pregnant star announced last week that she’ll soon be hosting “Lauren Conrad Is Asking For a Friend,” telling Us Weekly that the podcast will be all “about finding the balance” in working and parenting. “You don’t want to miss anything, but at the same time, you want to teach them to work hard,” she said. We wish her the best on baby number-two! View Slideshow: The Hills Reboot: It’s Happening!! Who’s In? Who’s Out?

Jinger Duggar: Has She REALLY Been Disowned By Her Parents?!

For years now, Jinger Duggar has been considered the resident rebel of the Duggar family. Now obviously, the Duggars have a very different standard for what’s considered rebellious behavior. Jinger never took up smoking or went through a goth phase, but nevertheless, insiders say her parents were quite chagrined by her actions. Shortly after marrying Jeremy Vuolo, Jinger started wearing pants in violation of her family’s strict dress code. (Jim Bob and Michelle dictate what sort of clothing their daughters are allowed to wear until such time as that responsibility gets passed on to the girls’ husbands.) Then she further alienated her parents by waiting a full year after her wedding to get pregnant, which led to rumors that Jinger was using birth control — a major no-no in the Duggars’ world. (It’s customary for Duggar couples to start families as soon as possible after marriage.) Fans of Counting On know that Jim Bob was skeptical of Jeremy from the start due to some crucial theological differences and the fact that he and Jinger planned to relocate to Laredo, Texas after tying the knot. But there were rumors that tensions between Jeremy, Jinger, and her parents had eased a bit after the Vuolos welcomed a child. Now, however, the situation has reportedly deteriorated yet again. The Vuolos recently revealed that they’re moving to Los Angeles — a development that Jinger’s ultra-conservative parents are understandably not pleased with. “In recent days, God has made it overwhelmingly clear to us that he is leading us out of Laredo,” the couple wrote on their blog last week. “Through much prayer and counsel, the next step for our family is to relocate to Los Angeles to attend Grace Community Church as Jeremy pursues graduate studies at The Master’s Seminary. “Leaving Laredo this July will be one of the hardest things we’ve ever done; our friends here have become like family,” Jinger and Jeremy concluded.   Jinger’s parents were reportedly shocked by the news, and it’s been widely rumored that they found out about it the same way as the rest of us — through the Vuolos’ blog. Insiders say this added insult to injury, and the situation has resulted in rumors that Jinger’s parents have gone so far as to disown her . There’s little in the way of evidence to this effect, but the rumor has gained traction in the Duggar-themed message boards of Reddit, largely due to Jim Bob and Michelle’s failure to comment publicly on the Vuolos’ move west. Obviously, if it is the case that Jinger’s parents have cut ties with her, the entire family will go to great lengths to keep the situation under wraps. That’s just the standard Duggar response to any scandal. And unfortunately, the distance between the two families will make it easier to do so. In fact, we may have to wait until the next major holiday to gauge whether or not there’s any bad blood between Jinger and her ultra-strict parents. But the truth is sure to come out eventually.

Jinger Duggar Shares The Sweetest Update About Baby Felicity!

Whatever your thoughts are on the Duggar family, and we know they can be pretty mixed, most people find their babies incredibly cute. And if you are one of those people then you will love the update Jinger Duggar just shared to her fans!  Mama Jinger’s adorable daughter, Felicity Vuolo, officially turned eight months old on March 19 and she celebrated by reaching a new milestone!  The reality star shared the update with her fans via Instagram, revealing that Felicity is crawling! “Felicity is 8 months today!” the proud mom wrote.  “She is crawling all over the place and pulling up on everything,” the caption said alongside a cute photo of her baby girl smiling. Jinger’s husband Jeremy Vuolo also took to social media to share a clip of his daughter on the go! Which in baby terms means she has totally mastered the crawl.  “Come here, baby. Keep going,” Jinger also said on her Instagram Story while cheering Felicity on from her front-row seat on the couch.  But crawling can be hard work, ok? Especially when you’re a brand new human.  “Don’t look at me, angel,” Jeremy encouraged when Felicity got tired of moving and turned back to look at him.  “You gotta go to mommy.”  The 8-month-old cutie was welcomed into the world back in July of 2018 and she’s already growing up so fast!  Just a few weeks ago, the couple let Felicity try table food for the first time and yeah, she totally loved it.  In the background, Jinger said, “This is a sweet potato, Felicity!”  Of course, fans are showing all of their love on the recent Instagram photo of the little girl’s newfound exercise skills. “She is such a happy beautiful baby. #blessed,” one person gushed in the comment section.  Another user referenced Felicity’s latest appearance on the hit TLC show Counting On saying, “The episode last night where she met Jeremy’s great grandparents was ADORABLE.”  And as for the grown-ups, Jinger and Jeremy’s relationship seems to be successfully moving right along as well!  On Valentine’s Day, the reality star wrote a sentimental message dedicated to her husband.  “I will never forget those days on a missions trip in El Salvador when I realized I was falling in love with @jeremy_vuolo,” she wrote. “He is everything I asked God for in a husband – he loves Christ supremely, is loving, compassionate, caring, humble and sincere,” she continued.  “Every day with you is sweeter than the day before – I love you, baby!”  With just four short months until their daughter turns 1, it is unclear what the couple has in store for her first birthday. But we can’t wait to find out.  Ever since the Duggar-Vuolo clan moved to Texas , they have been getting pretty used to small household gatherings, you know … without Jinger’s 18 siblings nearby.  So we think they will do something low-key yet totally adorable to celebrate their little girl.  As long as we see all the videos of Felicity crawling her little heart out at the party, we will be satisfied!  View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Shares Adorable Pics of Her “Little Family,” Melts Fans’ Hearts

Jinger Duggar Dazzles Fans With Pic of Jeremy Vuolo and Baby Felicity

Counting On fans love when Jinger Duggar shares photos of baby Felicity and her dazzling blue eyes . Jinger and Jeremy know that followers can’t get enough of their cute little 7-month-old. Her newest baby pic is a daddy-daughter photo that will absolutely melt your heart. Jinger Duggar shared the photo that you’re about to see. In the captions on Instagram, she gushed about what her small family means to her. “Seeing Felicity in her daddy’s strong arms makes my heart skip a beat,” Jinger wrote. That is so sweet. Fans adored the father-daughter photo, too, and you can see why: Jinger’s followers couldn’t help but mirror her enthusiasm for the precious pic. “She’s absolutely beautiful!” exclaimed one fan. “This is the first photo I have seen of her where she looks big… like growing up,” observes another. “Not a tiny infant anymore.” “She looks so much like her daddy,” comments another. “Such a sweet picture!” Another raves: “She is the prettiest Duggar baby!!” Cuteness is of course not a competition … but if it were, Felicity would be winning. Recently, Jinger had to break the hearts of some very excited fans. See, followers had noticed that she was drinking decaf, and had to wonder if she was avoiding caffeine due to a new pregnancy . “I stopped drinking coffee not for breastfeeding or being pregnant,” Jinger explained. She said: “but because it was affecting my health.” Generally speaking, caffeine is usually good for people, and coffee is believed to have life-extending properties. However, caffeine can cause issues such as trouble sleeping, an elevated heartrate, and can exacerbate anxiety. “So,” Jinger explained. “I have cut back on coffee.” However, in the same breath, she expressed that she is totally open to drinking coffee again if she needs to. Jinger joked: “But who knows what mom life will end up doing to me.” “I think I might end up slipping some in here and there,” she concluded. One of the reasons that people are hesitant to immediately believe studies about caffeine, good or bad, is simple. Those with the most caffeine intake are likely the ones who stay the busiest — whether it’s as employees, parents, or both. In recent months, Jinger has been treating her followers to so many precious photos. Jeremy is often front-and-center, holding his baby girl with love and pride. “Jeremy is such an amazing father,” Jinger gushed back in late January. She elaborated, noting that Felicity is very familiar with her parents and already loves them. Jinger expressed: “I love how Felicity lights up when she sees her daddy or hears his voice.” “It is the sweetest thing,” she concluded. “They share such a special bond.” At seven months old, Felicity is old enough to recognize and love her parents and even display elements of her own personality. Between six months and a year of age is when many (not all!) children first begin to speak and walk. Childhood development milestones happen at different points for everyone, but it is always exciting. As one of the Jinger’s followers exclaimed, Felicity is growing up right before our eyes. Fans cannot wait to see her grow into her own person. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Shares Adorable Pics of Her “Little Family,” Melts Fans’ Hearts

John David Duggar & Abbie Burnett: We Don’t Care About Jim Bob’s Rules!

Looks like Jim Bob Duggar has two more rebels on his hands! In the past few years, much has been made of the various ways in which the children of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are flouting the strict system of rules they were raised with. One of the most obvious examples is the fact that Jinger Duggar has started wearing pants instead of the floor-length skirts she was raised with, thus inspiring her sisters to violate the Duggar dress code as well. But other Duggars are lashing out in ways that are at once more subtle and more substantial. Chief among them are a pair of unlikely rebels — John David Duggar and his new bride, Abbie Burnett. Take a look: 1. The Newest Duggar Couple At first, it looked as though John David and Abbie would be your typical Duggar couple. That has not proven to be the case. 2. Mixing It Up John David and Abbie began bucking tradition right off the bat with a quirky wedding ceremony. 3. Flying High While the guest list and the vows remained the same, the couple rejected the usual venue — the Cathedral of the Ozarks — in favor of an airplane hangar. 4. Like First Dates Aren’t Stressful Enough! The couple’s first date took place on a small jet that was piloted by John David. 5. The Plane Truth Planes are such a big part of John David and Abbie’s relationship that his proposal was plane-themed. Sounds like another Duggar couple might be soon to leave Arkansas! 6. Speaking of Geography Unlike most Duggar spouses, Abbie is not an Arkansas native. She originally hails from Oklahoma. View Slideshow

Jinger Duggar Gets Mom-Shamed Again: Enough With the Head Wraps!

Back in July,  Jinger Duggar welcomed her first child . And like so many of her sisters, she’s enjoyed sharing all the joys of her motherhood with her millions of social media followers. Unfortunately, as with her sisters, many of Jinger’s followers visit her page for the sole purpose of talking trash. Yes, mom-shaming the Duggars is a favorite activity of many Instagram trolls. And the folks who engage in this sort of activity really don’t need much to set them off. They can be triggered by Jessa Duggar’s messy house , Jill’s perceived shortcomings as a homeschool teacher, or even Felicity Vuolo’s head wraps. Yes, Jinger enjoys putting various forms of headgear on her child, and for reasons we can’t quite figure, a very vocal contingent of Instagram users finds this practice reprehensible. And the craziest part is, they can’t even agree on why it’s wrong. At first, Jinger was slammed for cultural appropriation . As is the case most of the time that term is used, people were angry, but they weren’t really sure why. Now that that argument has been laid to rest — probably because Jinger’s haters realized no culture can lay claim to the practice of wrapping fabric around a baby’s head — several new ones have emerged. Jinger recently posted the photo below to Instagram, setting off a whole new round of criticism: “Felicity helping Uncle Scott with interviews,” she captioned the pic. Seems innocent enough, but some fans took issue with little Lissy’s hat. A few speculated that Jinger is planning to launch a children’s fashion line, and she’s “using” Felicity to model her wares. There’s no indication that’s true, but even if it were … would that really be so bad? Others simply don’t care for Felicity’s fashion sense. “Young moms are going overboard with head wraps for their girls all the time,” wrote one. Another commented that Felicity looks like “an old lady.” Yes, the kind of people who spend their time insulting babies on the internet are firmly convinced that their voices deserve to be heard. This is some peak 2018 sh-t right here, folks.  We shudder to think what next year might bring. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Shares Adorable Pics of Her “Little Family,” Melts Fans’ Hearts

Jinger Duggar Shows Off Adorable Mother-Daughter Twinning Photo

Jinger Duggar has been treating Counting On fans to photos of her adorable little family . Now, she and husband Jeremy Vuolo are sharing a new photo. In it, she’s twinning with her 3-month old baby, Felicity. “Like mother, like daughter,” Jinger captioned the photo that you’re about to see. In it, the 24-year-old Duggar daughter is wearing a floral headband. Baby Felicity is wearing a matching headband — it’s just a smaller version for her tiny baby head. While they’re not otherwise in matching outfits, we think that it still counts as twinning. (Seriously, finding a baby outfit that matches adult clothing can be tricky) Besides, the picture is just too cute. This mother-daughter photo is so cute! This is the time of year for dressing up in a lot more than headbands, but the Duggar family does not celebrate Halloween. Michelle Duggar expressed her strong views in a blog post in 2011. “While we do go to pumpkin patches and corn mazes,” Michelle wrote. “We don’t do the Halloween thing.” You miss out on a lot of fun and a lot of culture when you grow up in the Duggar household. “From the beginning of our marriage we just kind of felt like we didn’t want to celebrate that holiday,” she shared. “But,” Michelle admitted. “We enjoy the harvest celebration.” “Our church fellowship has had different celebrations through the years that we’ve been a part of,” Michelle continued. Michelle wrote that these celebrations were “ones where the children can play games and receive candy and toys and do all kinds of fun things, like a cake walk.” Really, of course, the family’s reluctance to participate in Halloween stems from a desire to isolate the children from any cultural experiences that they consider unbiblical. In  Growing Up Duggar  by Jill, Jinger, Jessa, and Jana mention how seriously Jim Bob and Michelle take the supernatural. “One specific thing that our parents have always been careful about is magic,” the book says. “Which often shows up in children’s movies.” “As harmless as it may seem, it’s not a joke in God’s eyes,” the girls say. “Magic, sorcery, witches, spell-casting and the like are all part of the demonic realm that God wants us to stay away from,” the book continues. “No matter how ‘good’ a film containing magic may seem,” the girls warn. “God speaks seriously throughout the Bible.” The girls write that “it is not something to be glorified or portrayed by any means as something fun or attractive.” So we don’t think that Felicity will be going trick-or-treating when she gets older. Halloween, first of all, tends to glorify a lot of those things — you know, people dress as witches and ghosts. Also, the holiday itself is based upon an ancient religious festival of the Celtics, that involved honoring the dead while celebrating the year’s final harvest. While most see Halloween as fairly distinct from Samhain, which some still practice today, to the Duggars, it’s a spiritual threat. That said, Jeremy Vuolo has shown that he’s less strict than Jim Bob and Michelle. Just as Austin Forsyth viewed and reviewed the Marvel film, Thor , Jeremy has demonstrated that he doesn’t share their views. He believes that women can wear pants. Might he one day allow his daughter to dress up as Batgirl or as a princess? Maybe we’ll find out. For now, she’s a literal baby and is perfectly happy wearing a headband that matches her mother’s.

Amy Duggar Shades Family Members for Having Kids Too Soon

The last time we wrote about Amy Duggar, we said that her famous family members had just recently allowed her back into their lives . Such a re-entrance may have been short-lived, however. Why do we say this? Because Amy has come out with some serious fire for her supposed loved ones! Often considered the black sheep of her strict and conservative family, Amy once posed nude on Twitter . Even worse in the eyes of her cousins, aunts and uncles, Amy has been married for three years — and she has no kids! Zero. Zilch. None at all. While this may seem impossible to believe for anyone with the last name Duggar, Amy tells Radar Online that she has a simple explanation for why she and husband Dillon have decided to wait. “I didn’t want to limit myself by just getting pregnant right off the bat and not exploring the rest of what my life could be,” Duggar says simply . At least it sounds simple to us . Plenty of husbands and wives want to travel a bit or just enjoy each other’s company for awhile before their world gets taken over by children. It’s a reasonable position for anyone to take. Anyone not named Duggar, that is. As regular Hollywood Gossip readers surely know well, Jinger Duggar, Joy-Anna Duggar and Kendra Duggar ALL gave birth to their first child in 2018. They each got pregnant basically as soon as they tied the knot and were permitted, per family rules, to engage in intercourse with their significant others. Duggar females basically exist simply to get married and then to procreate as often as possible. But Amy is focused on her new clothing boutique at the moment and isn’t desperate to become a mother. It will almost definitely happen at some point; she just doesn’t understand the immediacy. “Babies are on our brain for sure,” Amy says of her and her husband. But she wants to make sure her professional life is in order first and that she is as ready as one can be to take the journey to motherhood before actually doing so. What a crazy concept, right?!? “I want to be settled. I think it’s boutique, and then a baby,” said the former reality star, explaining how she wants to successfully launch her business before dedicating herself to a tiny human being. She also wants to make sure her relationship can handle it. Having a baby is a really big deal! It can destroy a marriage if two people are not on the same page. “I want to have this really great foundation with my husband so that when my baby turns 18 years old, I’m not learning how to love my husband all over again,” says Amy. We hate to break it to you, Amy, but such logic likely just got you kicked out of the family again . We’re guessing you’re cool with that, though.

Halsey and G-Eazy: It’s Over … Again!

In early July, Halsey dumped G-Eazy  after a year of dating, and there were even hints that she had caught him cheating. The split didn’t last, however, and they ended up back together … until the last couple of days. Now, they’ve split again, and you’ll never guess the reason. E! News reports that Halsey and G-Eazy have broken up again. “G-Eazy and Halsey were doing well until a couple of days ago,” an insider reveals. According to the source, things turned sour “when G-Eazy performed at the Karma International party in Los Angeles on Saturday.” Apparently, G-Eazy was a little too friendly with his fans. “And,” the insider explains, he “was flirting with several girls in public.” You’d think that fans hardcore enough to actually attend a G-Eazy show would know that he’s in a relationship. But he was ready for that. “G-Eazy was telling everyone that he was single,” the source shares. The insider adds that he claimed this “and that he and Halsey are always ‘on-and-off’ but they are currently split.” You know how a lot of self-help advice talks about mantras and speaking what you want to come true so that you can manifest it? Well, it sounds like G-Eazy was so convincing that he manifested a very real breakup. G-Eazy and Halsey are no longer following each other on Instagram. As we have mentioned with past breakups, this could mean serious bad blood — or simply that nobody wants to see their ex’s face all over social media. However, it looks like there was more to their breakup than G-Eazy’s public display of horniness. They’re both busy professionals whose careers take them all over, and that has exacted its toll on their rekindled romance — just as it did in July. The insider reveals: “They have been having issues with the distance again.” You know what? It happens. That pesky distance may have been what drove G-Eazy to be so flirty — though that’s obviously not an excuse. The two made it official that they were back together in September. At G-Eazy’s New Jersey show, the two locked lips in a public kiss. “Make some noise for the most beautiful woman on this planet right now,” G-Eazy instructed the audience. He also said at the time: “Make some mother f–king noise for the queen, Halsey.” As we mentioned, it was in early July when Halsey and G-Eazy last broke up. “I normally keep this kind of thing private,” Halsey wrote at the time. “But,” she continued. “Provided our public nature I feel I need to inform my fans.” Halsey then announced: “G-Eazy and I are taking some apart.” A little over a week later, and G-Eazy was seen partying with Demi Lovato as fans worried that she had relapsed. Famously, later that month, Demi was hospitalized for a suspected overdose. While G-Eazy and Halsey are on the outs, it may be that G-Eazy indulges himself. Whether it’s with other former Disney stars or with groupies remains to be seen. But even though their careers are likely to keep them on different schedules and G-Eazy is unlikely to change his spots … they might get back together. Some people get hooked on their exes and keep going back for more. View Slideshow: 19 Most Bitter Breakups in Hollywood History

Hard to believe it's been three months since Jinger Duggar welcomed her first child . These days, Jinger and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, are loving their lives as new parents and sharing every moment of that joy on social media.
