Jessa Duggar Sounds Off on Cecil the Lion, Abortion

In the wake of the Josh Duggar sexual abuse scandal , Jessa Duggar defended her older brother in rather bizarre fashion. She admitted that Josh had touched her inappropriately, but she also stated that he was a “sly” molester  who groped his sisters in such a way that they were unaware that they were being abused. While that may be Jessa’s most controversial remark to date, anyone who follows the 22-year-old expectant mother on social media knows that she’s never been one to worry about pissing off her critics. Take Jessa’s latest tweet, for example: The cartoon, of course, is mocking the recent controversy over the killing of Cecil the lion . Clearly, Jessa is suggesting that instead of attacking Walter Palmer, the world should be focused on more important issues, such as reproductive rights. (Like the rest of her family, Jessa is vehemently pro-life and once compared abortion to the Holocaust on Instagram.) We like to keep things light and gossipy around here, so we won’t get into the abortion debate, but we will take issue with Jessa’s argument that concern over the killing of protected animals for sport somehow distracts from more pressing matters. You could easily go to ESPN’s website and comment, “Who cares that the Yankees play the Red Sox tonight?! ISIS is on the move!” but doing so would demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding of human beings’ ability to care about more than one thing at a time. Like, we could say, “Jessa shouldn’t you be spending less time tweeting and more time helping your husband find a real job now that your family’s reality show has been canceled ?” but that would be dumb, because there’s clearly enough time in the day to do both. Seriously, though, we hope Ben’s looking for a legit gig that can support a family, because that baby is on its way, and it doesn’t  like the Duggars will be back on TV any time soon.

Taylor Armstrong Cremates Husband, Divides Ashes Among Family Members

Taylor Armstrong has finally laid her husband to rest. One year after Russell Armstrong took his own life and Bravo milked every second out of that tragedy for the sake of ratings , sources confirm that Taylor has cremated him and interned Russell’s urn at a plot in Hollywood. “Taylor Armstrong attended the placement of Russell’s urn,” an insider tells Celebuzz. ”She was the only one to attend and left a single flower, at the site. Russell was interred in a classic cross mahogany urn.” Because there had been contention over just where Russell would be buried, another urn containing his ashes was sent to Roselawn Memorial Park in Denton, Texas, the location where his surviving family members – including mother John Ann Hotchkiss – wanted him to rest. Taylor, meanwhile, has been filming the new season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills . She reportedly suffered a ” catastrophic meltdown ” earlier this summer. She really, really sucks.

Taylor Armstrong Book Excerpts: Skeleton Sex and Love for Russell

Taylor Armstrong has released a memoir that she claims is all about helping victims of abuse , not profiting from the August 2011 suicide of husband Russell. Of course, organizations that help victims of abuse are still waiting for their proceeds from sales of “Hiding from Reality.” New excerpts from this book have now hit the Internet, so you may read them for yourself and judge Taylor accordingly: On her sex life with Russell : He would make comments when we were sexual… about my weight. No woman needs to be criticized in that moment – criticisms about having sex with me is like ‘having sex with a skeleton.’ On still loving Russell : I love him to this day and miss him terribly. I got out way too late. I hope by others hearing the story they may get out sooner. When I wrote Hiding From Reality, I wanted it real and honest. Some of it was difficult to write. On the lasting scars of abuse : I think you can see my eye has healed, but these things are going to stick with me a long time and sometimes, the emotional can hurt worse than the physical almost. What do you think of Taylor Armstrong releasing a memoir?

Taylor Armstrong Accuses Late Husband of Spying, Paranoia

It’s been far too long since Taylor Armstrong bashed her late husband in public. But, don’t worry, the latest issue of Us Weekly contains excerpts from the reality star’s disgusting upcoming memoir , “Hiding from Reality.” In the book, Taylor describes Russell as a paranoid stalker, someone who constantly asked her about past sexual partners and even posed as a potential employer in order to run a background check on his wife with her alma mater. She even found a tape recorder under her home office desk once. “For the next nearly six years, I always assumed I was being recorded in the car and at home,” Taylor writes. “I was always careful to make sure the content of my conversations was very clear.” Russell supposedly defended his actions by saying he had “been burned before” and just wanted to get to know his wife as well as possible. Years after that discovery, Armstrong added, “I went into my email settings and found that he had set it up so that all of my emails were forwarded to him the moment I received them.” Taylor says she never changed the setting or asked Russell about this issue, and it’s not like we can get his take on the allegations. What a sad, pathetic, money-hungry woman.

The Bachelor Recap: Fly Fishin’ For Love, Throwin’ ‘Em Back

After the return and exit of Shawntel Newton last week, The Bachelor settled back into its normal routine of ridiculous dates, cat-fighting and emotional turmoil Monday. The Bachelor spoilers we’ve read actually didn’t include much on this episode, including who would get the boot. So it was interesting to watch unfold in that sense. Ben Flajnik took the ladies on a BREATHTAKING horseback riding date, and later fly fishing, getting the women wet in a way they never imagined. Most likely. One lucky bachelorette also won a private show from country singer Clay Walker … but was there a rose in tow? And Courtney Robertson , as always, was insane. Please, join us for THG’s +/-

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season Finale Recap: Pandora’s Dream Wedding

After a fairly dark season with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills ,we’re finally headed towards the light for the finale and thanks to Pandora, it’s not white but pink. Let’s break down the event of the season in THG’s +/- review!! But before we attend the wedding, let’s hit the bathroom. I have to laugh at Adrienne’s horror when Paul invites her in to help with his enema. Plus 10 for her reaction. I don’t know what Paul’s thinking but that’s so not happening. Other than airing an entertaining public service announcement on getting a colonoscopy, is this segment really necessary? Minus 8 because I don’t think anyone needs to watch several minutes of Paul passing air. Maybe we can all get that IV sedation to go. Over at Kyle’s, she and Mauricio must be discussing which dress will look the least flattering on her because I can’t stand any of her choices, least of all the one he picked out. Minus 9 . For a woman with money Kyle could use better taste in clothes. Camille doesn’t have that problem. She just looks better and better this season. Life without Kelsey obviously agrees with her because she’s rockin’ that dress. Plus 10 . Back at wedding central, Lisa’s starting to freak out a little because Kevin Lee isn’t there. His assistant Anie looks quite capable but Kevin failed to mention he’d be manning another event up until a couple of hours before Pandora’s wedding. Not cool. Minus 15 . But everything moves right along and I almost expected twin makeup artists but triplets? Plus 7 . Only in Beverly Hills. Son Max wanders home for the wedding and I have to agree with Lisa. That mohawk looks like a dead squirrel on his head. Someone please help him with that. The wedding is simply gorgeous, from the flower chandeliers to the enormous rose covered cake. Pandora does have a fairy tale wedding. Plus 20 . Lisa and Ken are beaming with happiness.

Rush Limbaugh: Dems WANT Mitt to Win!

Are Democrats salivating at facing the guy winning – or at least perceived, by the media, to have the best chance of winning – the Republican presidential race? Yes, Rush Limbaugh says. The radio host is one of several prominent Republicans who believe the party would stand a better chance with a less vanilla candidate – and Democrats know it. Rush Limbaugh: Dems Want Romney! “The Democrats are afraid of any candidate they have sought to destroy. You can start with Sarah Palin, you can move on to Santorum. Any – any conservative who shows any interest – the Democrats set out to destroy,” he said. “That’s who they’re genuinely afraid of. They are not hammering Mitt Romney at all, and (Democratic strategist) Donna Brazile let the cat out of the bag. Don’t doubt me.” Do you agree with Limbaugh’s point? Makes you wonder if Ron Paul were leading polls, how the White House and other prominent Dems would react.
