It is surprisingly and sadly all over for Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton. The engaged couple has gone the way of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth , a rep for the actor confirmed today, saying in a statement to Just Jared: “ Chad Michael Murray and Kenzie Dalton quietly parted ways earlier in the year. Please respect their privacy at this time.” Call us cynical – or accurate, considering this news – but after six years without a wedding, perhaps the couple should have realized something was wrong. We wish both actor and actress the best of luck in their quests to find true love.
Jessa Duggar, the 20-year-old daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, is currently in a courtship with 18-year-old Ben Seewald, according to reports. The lovebirds, who met in church, are “enjoying getting to know each other and are recommending sermons to one another,” Jim Bob tells People . He and his wife are “so excited” for Jessa and Ben. As for the difference between courting and dating? Jim Bob explains that courting is much more formal process, which often takes place in a larger group, whereas dating is more of a one-on-one thing: “Courting is getting to know each other in a group setting, both families spending time together and the couple setting goals together to determine if they are meant to marry.” And then there’s the rub you might have expected: “With dating, a couple will often pair off alone and that sometimes leads to a more physical relationship.” Mother Michelle Duggar also adds that courting is a serious process, where a couple puts deep considering into the notion of starting a family together: “Courtship is not just about having fun. You are really considering if this person could be your life partner … you pray about it and see what happens.” After the couple initial met, they asked their parents for permission to correspond via text and on the phone, and while the Duggars agreed, the pair has little privacy. Jim Bob and Michelle are a part of the duo’s texting conversation. “Jessa has a very steady personality,” Michelle says of her third daughter. “It has been interesting to watch their interactions because for her personality type.” “They share very similar beliefs. It has been fun to watch them and both of our phones are going off back and forth, ping, ping, ping.” They still plan to wait before becoming intimate with one another, too. “Dad allowed them to do a side hug when they were officially courting,” the 47-year-old mother reveals. “Jessa and Ben have said that was the only contact they would have.” “When they initially greet each other, when he comes to visit for their first hello, they have a quick 30 second or less side hug and a goodbye side hug.” “They want to wait on the physical relationship until later,” she adds. “If there is an engagement that comes about, they will work together on their goals and standards for that. All of our family is involved in this relationship. It is an exciting time.” That’s one word for it …

Pope Francis has once again come out in favor of tolerance for all, regardless of sexual orientation. A couple months after saying he is in no position to judge a gay person , the 76-year old pontiff gave an in-depth interview to Italian Jesuit magazine La Civilta Cattolica and reiterated this unexpected stance. Pope Francis Says Church “Obsessed” with Gays “We must always consider the person,” Francis said . “In life, God accompanies persons, and we must accompany them, starting from their situation. It is necessary to accompany them with mercy. When that happens, the Holy Spirit inspires the priest to say the right thing.” The Pope does not believe his view veers from the teachings of the Catholic Church, saying God endorses the “existence” of all people with “love.” Contrasting himself with predecessor Pope Benedict – who staunchly believed the Church must stand by its core values – Francis warned that the organization focuses too harshly on a couple major issues: Homosexuality and abortion. “The church’s pastoral ministry cannot be obsessed with the transmission of a disjointed multitude of doctrines to be imposed insistently,” he said, adding: “We have to find a new balance. Otherwise, even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel.” In conclusion, Francis encouraged a change in style and approach, along with a fresh narrative that worries less about what people do in their love or sex lives. “We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. This is not possible,” he said. “The teaching of the church, for that matter, is clear, and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.”

According to a new report, Ray J absolutely lost it the day Whitney Houston died of a drug overdose. Because he was distraught over the passing of his girlfriend at the time? Of course. But also because he allegedly overheard at least one police officer make disparaging remarks about the late singer. TMZ sources confirm that Ray J was standing outside the room when he heard laughter and some kind of rude comment, a story that jibes with someone else close to Houston complaining that an emergency responder was “talking trash” about her inside the suite. Ray J tried to go after the inappropriate individual and tried to go after him on more than one occasion. But he was restrained and removed from the vicinity. TMZ also reports that a Beverly Hills cop filed a complaint with the California Labor Department, alleging that his sergeant pulled the sheet off of Whitney’s corpse and remarked: “Damn, she’s still looking good, huh?” Officer Accused of Disparaging Whitney Houston Corpse Other law enforcement officials deny this comment, or anything close to it, was made. Ray J has not yet commented on the allegations, likely because he’s penning another single about the Kim Kardashian sex tape .
