Jackson Roloff Can Now Do WHAT at 5 Months?!?

We hope you’re sitting down for this shocking piece of news. We hope you aren’t operating any heavy machinery. Okay? Ready? Here we go: Jackson Kyle Roloff is now FIVE months old!!!! Totally crazy, right? It really does seem like only yesterday that Zach and Tori Roloff were happily informing fans that the latter had given birth to the couple’s first child. That blessed occasion took place on May 12 and this beloved couple has been incredibly open ever since regarding the status of little Jackson. They sat down for an interview with People Magazine shortly after he entered the world, for example, and confirmed that he has dwarfism. And, since then, both Tori and Zach have been constantly updating their Instagram feeds with photos of Jackson. The latest (above) is a portrait of the tiny human at five months old and it was shared along with the following message from Tori: – Jackson is grabbing everything. – He is super smiley in the morning and slightly grumpy in the evening. – Bath time is still our favorite. – Jackson can now lift himself up on his stomach. – He loves making noises with his feet. – We can feel his first two teeth coming in. – He has been sleeping in his own room all month and is rockin it!. – And J loves hanging out at the pumpkin patch! Tori concluded her update by writing “Love you so much sweet boy!” So do we! We’re so grateful to Zach and Tori for keeping us this well apprised when it comes to their son. It’s been a very busy few days for Jackson, based on his parents’ social media activity. For example, his mother dressed him up like a pumpkin and sat him down in a patch in the family’s farm in what just might be THE CUTEST PHOTO WE’VE EVER SEEN IN OUR LIVES. Also, Jackson got a change to hang out with his cousin, Ember Jean, who was born just over a month ago to Audrey and Jeremy Roloff. Might this actually be the cutest photo in the whole wide world? Back when Jackson turned four months old , Tori said he could roll over and occasionally hold his head up. He was also coming off his first airplane ride and weighed nearly 16 pounds. It’s amazing how much babies can change over the course of just a few weeks, isn’t it? Take a look at all the pictures below to get an idea of what we mean: View Slideshow: Jackson Roloff Baby Photos: OMG! He’s So Cute!

Donna Karan Defends Harvey Weinstein, Wonders if Victims "Asking For It"

Oh no, Donna Karan. This is not the way. Allegations of Harvey Weinsteins decades of sexual harassment have been exposed, and it looks like that’s just the beginning. He’s been condemned by people who once considered him a friend, including living legends like Meryl Streep . Donna Karan has spoken out in his defense, however … in the worst possible way. For years, Harvey Weinstein has been dogged by the occasional rumor of sexual harassment. One of the rumored victims is Ashley Judd , and we knew that years ago. Well, after the New York Times published a massive expose that alleged a wildly disturbing pattern of sexual harassment, in which Weinstein allegedly promised to boost women’s careers if they did as he asked — and, in some accusations, he didn’t even ask — it looks like the cat is out of the bag. In fact, Harvey Weinstein has been fired from his own company . Harvey has issued a weak-ass apology. “I came of age in the ’60s and ’70s, when all the rules about behavior and workplaces were different. That was the culture then.” Yeah, that is literally no excuse. You’re an adult. Even if this were the 1500s, the time period wouldn’t be an excuse. At best, it would be an explanation.” “I have since learned it’s not an excuse, in the office — or out of it. To anyone. I realized some time ago that I needed to be a better person and my interactions with the people I work with have changed.” Uh-huh. “I appreciate the way I’ve behaved with colleagues in the past has caused a lot of pain, and I sincerely apologize for it. Though I’m trying to do better, I know I have a long way to go. That is my commitment.” The general public reaction has been that this is too little, too late. But Donna Karan, legendary designer and friend of Weinstein’s, was asked while on the red carpet and she gave quite an answer. “I think we have to look at ourselves. Obviously, the treatment of women all over the world is something that has always had to be identified.” “Certainly in the country of Haiti where I work, in Africa, in the developing world, it’s been a hard time for women.” Women have a hard time everywhere, but that’s a great way to plug your own humanitarian work. “To see it here in our own country is very difficult, but I also think how do we display ourselves? How do we present ourselves as women?” “What are we asking? Are we asking for it by presenting all the sensuality and all the sexuality?” The short answer is: no . The longer reply is: what the hell is wrong with you ? No one ever ‘asks for it.” You could walk down the street naked and no one would have the right to touch you. (Well, police might arrest you, but other than that) “And what are we throwing out to our children today about how to dance and how to perform and what to wear? How much should they show?” If an adult is sexualizing a child, that is 100% on the adult. Obviously. “You look at everything all over the world today and how women are dressing and what they are asking by just presenting themselves the way they do. What are they asking for? Trouble.” Women who wear clothing aren’t asking for trouble, Donna Karan. But women who say idiotic things that blame victims of sexual harassment sure are. She’s been blasted for these comments on Twitter, by the general public and by major celebrities. Donna Karan is aware of the backlash and issued a statement via JustJared : “Last night, I was honored at the Cinemoi Fashion Film Awards in Hollywood and while answering a question on the red carpet I made a statement that unfortunately is not representative of how I feel or what I believe.” “I have spent my life championing women.” We have to wonder how in the world one accidentally slips up and says that. You can say the wrong name or get something else wrong, sure, but rambling on about how sexual harassment is the victim’s fault for being so darn irresistible is … not an accident. “My life has been dedicated to dressing and addressing the needs of women, empowering them and promoting equal rights.” “My statements were taken out of context and do not represent how I feel about the current situation concerning Harvey Weinstein.” Ugh, the old “taken out of context” line. Which makes the whole apology just about worthless. “I believe that sexual harassment is NOT acceptable and this is an issue that MUST be addressed once and for all regardless of the individual. I am truly sorry to anyone that I offended and everyone that has ever been a victim.” If she had said just this last part, it would have been better. We don’t know if Donna Karan’s apology will be accepted, particularly given that she tries to throw up the “taken out of context” excuse. There are real quotes that are taken out of context, but unless Donna Karen actually said “the worst thing that a person could say is,” before she said what she said, what context could possibly make what she said okay? To make matters worse, following that initial New York Times expose, the New Yorker has come out with horror stories from a few of Weinstein’s accusers. We’re not longer just talking about allegations of sexual harassment, though that alone is unacceptable. When it comes to Harvey Weinstein, we’re now talking about accusations of sexual assault .

Jackson Roloff is Dressed Like a Pumpkin and We May Just Die of Cuteness Overload

We don’t know whether this story about a feud between Matt and Amy Roloff is legitimate or not. It could be an example of fake news. But we do know one surefire way of making us forget that some tension may exist between family members on Little People, Big World. And that is this: Dress Jackson Kyle Roloff up like a pumpkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As previously reported, Roloff Farms opened for pumpkin-picking business this past weekend in Oregon. The event brought with it thousands of visitors from around the state, all of whom stopped by this famous location to gather up some supplies and decorations for the fall. We’re just focused at the moment on one of those visitors, however. Probably the youngest one of the bunch. And definitely the cutest. As documented by his parents and his grandparents on Instagram, Jackson clearly had an adorable blast at his family’s compound, posing not just alongside a pumpkin (below), but also as a pumpkin (above). How ridiculously precious is that picture?!? “I’d say Jackson’s first weekend out at the patch was a success!” Tori Roloff wrote at one point on Instagram, adding: “thank you so much to everyone that came out! #rolofffarms #storyofzachandtori #ZandTPartyofThree #babyjroloff.” As if the excitement of picking pumpkins wasn’t enough, meanwhile, Jackson also helped grandpa Matt Roloff celebrate his birthday a couple days ago. Naturally, Tori captured this moment on social media as well. “Happy birthday Grandpa Roloff! We love you! If you guys are out at the patch today make sure and wish the old man a happy birthday,” she captioned the image below. TLC is yet to announce a premiere date for the new season of Little People, Big World, but it’s safe to assume cameras were on hand for the farm’s big opening. We also assume fresh episodes will air some time this fall, but we’re still awaiting confirmation from the network. Fortunately, members of this fun family have been busy on Instagram, sharing pictures of new baby Jackson and even newer baby Ember, who was born to Audrey and Jeremy Roloff last month. Heck, there’s even a picture of Jackson AND Ember together . There are also constant snapshot of Tori, Zach and their five-month old, such as the one featured here: Look for the upcoming season to focus on how Zach and Tori have been raising Jackson, along with a a chronicling of Audrey and Jeremy’s path to parenthood. Will Jacob be featured at all this fall? Will we see footage of Molly Roloff’s wedding ? While you ponder those questions, check out memorable pictures below of little Jackson Kyle. We love him so much. View Slideshow: Jackson Roloff Baby Photos: OMG! He’s So Cute!

Harvey Weinstein Accused of Raping Asia Argento, Forcing Himself on Rosanna Arquette, Mira Sorvino

Last week, the New York Times published an exposé detailing three decades of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein , the wildly successful and influential film mogul who rose to power as co-founder of both Miramax and the Weinstein Company. The piece contained a number of shocking revelations, such as the fact that Weinstein settled out of court with no fewer than eight women who accused him of sexual assault or harassment. Within days of the allegations going public, Weinstein was fired from the company he helped build, following a board of directors meeting that reportedly devolved into a screaming match. In the days leading up to his dismissal, Weinstein sent letters to many of his most powerful allies begging for them to help save his career and restore his reputation. We may never know who responded to the 64-year-old’s pleas, but those who ignored him are likely glad they did, as a new report published today by The New Yorker paints an even more appalling portrait of Weinstein as an unrepentant sexual predator . Over the course of a ten-month investigation, journalist Ronan Farrow claims to have spoken with 13 women who were harassed or assaulted by Weinstein. He also interviewed 16 current and former executives and assistants at the Weinstein Company who say they have witnessed varying degrees of sexual misconduct from Weinstein. The piece also an incriminating audio recording from an NYPD investigation in which Weinstein attempts to coerce a reluctant woman into entering his hotel room. When she protests and accuses him of grabbing her breast without consent, Weinstein responds that he is “used to” engaging in that sort of behavior. Most shocking of all is the article’s revelation that Weinstein raped or attempted to rape several women over the years, including famed actresses Rosanna Arquette, Mira Sorvino, and Asia Argento. Argento says that Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her when she was just 21 years old. “‘He asks me to give a massage. I was, like, “Look man, I am no f–king fool,'” Argento tells The New Yorker . “But, looking back, I am a f–king fool. And I am still trying to come to grips with what happened,” she adds. Argento says she kept the encounter to herself for fear that Weinstein would “crush” her and ruin her career. “I know he has crushed a lot of people before,” Argento said. “That’s why this story—in my case, it’s twenty years old, some of them are older—has never come out.” Sorvino says she was able to rebuff Weinstein’s advances, but she believes doing so resulted in irrevocable damage to her career. “There may have been other factors, but I definitely felt iced out and that my rejection of Harvey had something to do with it,” she tells the magazine. Thus far, Weinstein and his legal team have yet to respond to this latest round of allegations. We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Mom Locks Kids in Hot Car to Teach Them a Lesson; Kids Die

A Texas mother of two was jailed this weekend after police say she left her kids in a hot car to teach them a lesson … and they perished. Cynthia Randolph, 25, allegedly locked one-year-old Cavanaugh Ramirez and two-year-old Juliet Ramirez in the vehicle last month. The little girl, she felt, needed “a lesson.” Even more shocking is that Randolph, of Fort Worth, apparently told them as much during interviews with law enforcement investigators. She first said she noticed her kids were missing. Upon investigating (this was May 26), she said she found them locked in the vehicle, where they'd been for “no more than an hour.” However, that story would allegedly change. Police said Saturday that, in the weeks since the incident, Randolph has acknowledged that she left her children in the car intentionally. According to a statement from police, she said she found the kids playing in the car when the 2-year-old refused to get out. That's when she closed the door to teach her a lesson, believing that her daughter could get herself and her brother out when ready. Her kids, again, are 1 and 2 years old. As the Texas temperatures soared to the mid-90s, Randolph went inside to smoke marijuana, and the kids were not able to exit the car. After what authorities say was a 2-3 hour nap, Randolph reportedly told cops she came back outside to find her children unresponsive. The two children were tragically pronounced dead about 30 minutes after the authorities were notified; Randolph was arrested Friday. In a statement, the kids' father thanked police. “Please send a thank you to [the] Parker County Sheriff's Office and the Texas Rangers from the Ramirez family,” the statement said. Randolph also implicated herself again when she told investigators she later broke the car window to make it look like an accident.  The Texas Rangers and U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General Dallas Field Office both investigated the situation. After she told them several versions of events over the course of a few weeks, they were finally able to make an arrest late last week. The local Sheriff's office said that they are satisfied with the arrest of Randolph, who they believed was solely responsible for two deaths.

RHOA Sneak Peek: Sheree Whitfield Confronts Her Ex-Hubby Bob About Choking Her Out During Their Marriage [Video]

Sheree has made no secret of the fact that she and Bob got to scrapping a few times over the course of their 7-year marriage….but she never revealed how serious the abusiveness got between them. In a clip from next week’s episode, Sheree talks with Bob about the times he got physical with her during their disagreements in the relationship, in front of Phaedra and Kenya. Which also begs the question of why she was so hesitant to admit that Kenya was onto something when she brought up the fact that Sheree had also been in domestic violence situations a few episodes back… Bravo

The Bachelor: Which of These Six Women Will Make the Final Four?

So far, The Bachelor spoilers have been deadly accurate. In terms of which women advance each week, and other details, just spot on. Will that trend continue Monday night? For The Bachelor star Nick Viall, it's coming down to the wire, with only six women left headed into this week, and just four roses to give. Just four weeks remain before The Bachelor winner is revealed, but we're now just hours away from learning Nick Viall's final four officially. By the end of the episode, The Bachelor Season 21 Episode 7 to be exact, Nick will reveal who he'll be going on a a hometown date with. Obviously, to make it this far in the process, all six of the women have built up a real connection with the 36-year-old franchise staple. With Corinne Olympios and Vanessa Grimaldi looking like the favorites to make the finale right now, that leaves four women and two roses. (Of course, that doesn't mean Corinne or Vanessa won't be eliminated either … we're just basing that on spoilers, and on the obvious.) Basically, it would be near impossible to see either one getting the axe before a hometown date. Some of the remaining others, though? Over the course of the interminable two-hour installment on ABC, three lucky women reportedly score a one-on-one date with Nick tonight. Those ladies are Rachel Lindsay Danielle M., and Vanessa. That gives them a huge leg up on the competition, while Corinne, Kristina and Raven Gates must battle it out on one final group date. From what we're hearing, one elimination will take place during the group date, while one woman's one-on-one date will be her last. Will The Bachelor spoilers be proven right as usual? Time, and rose ceremonies in the Bahamas, in the girls’ hometowns, and in Finland (overnight dates plus final rose ceremony) will tell. You can bet there will be twists, turns and drama, though, from Nick questioning the process itself to the women growing more desperate. Just how desperate are they willing to get here? Check out the promo below to see the lengths one woman will go to in crunch time in order to make sure she gets to bring Nick home. You'll never guess who, or what she does. Never.
