Kardashians and Jenners Celebrate Thanksgiving as One, Giant "Blended Family"

Talk about the ultimate family photo. Thanksgiving brought together nearly every member of the extended Kardashian and Jenner clan this year, as Kylie Jenner shared a precious photo of her loved ones on Instagram, including with it a caption that reads: “Thankful for my blended family.” That really is the best way to describe it. The image features Kylie and Kendall Jenner; Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian; and Kris and Caitlyn Jenner. But that’s not all. There are also Kourtney’s three kids, with son Mason being held by his controversial father, Scott Disick. There’s Kim giving a kiss to her young daughter, North. There’s Tyga, who is still dating Kylie , the latter recently insisted. There’s Corey Gamble , who has been dating Kris for over a year now. And there’s Kanye West, of course, who is expecting his second child with Kim some time before the new year. As for who is missing from this impressive family portrait? There’s no Rob Kardashian , despite talk that his relationship with various family members is on the mend; and there’s no Lamar Odom, who remains hospitalized after a major drug overdose last month. But multiple sources confirm that Kim, Kanye and Khloe all spent time in the hospital with Lamar not long before this picture was snapped. Say what you want about the Kardashians and Jenners (and, trust us, we often do), but it actually is pretty cool that such a large and diverse family can remain so close. See. There you go. We’re in the generous, holiday spirit already.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! View Slideshow: 19 Times the Kardashians Have Been in Krisis

Anna Duggar: 7 Dark Secrets You Never Knew!

These days, when you think of Anna Duggar, the Josh Duggar sex scandals are probably the first thing to enter your mind. However, even before she married Josh and gained fame as part of the extended 19 Kids and Counting clan, Anna's life was beset by family feuds and troubled relationships. Anna's brother and sisters have encouraged her to leave Josh , but some believe that her controlling mother and father forced her into the marriage despite countless red flags. Anna's devoutly religious parents and rebellious siblings may not have engaged in any bad behavior on par with Josh's, but they're also not as squeaky-clean as you might think. Check out our run-down of the Keller family's darkest secrets in the gallery below.  1. Anna Was FORCED to Marry Josh? Anna knew about the allegations that Josh had molested four of his sisters before she agreed to marry him. She accepeted his proposal anyway, some say at her parents’ insistance. 2. The Kellers Remain Devoted to Disgraced Minister Bill Gothard Like the Duggars, the Kellers joined Bill Gothard’s Institute in Basic Life Principles several decades ago. Unlike the Duggars, the Kellers have yet to distance themselves from the minister, who is currently under investigatuon for sexual abuse. 3. Mike Keller Led a “Life of Sin” in His Youth Anna’s sister, Priscilla, has revealed that her father was prone to bad behavior before he converted to Christianity at 19, but she has repeatedly refused to go into detail. “God truly redeemed my dad’s life from sin and gave him a tremendous freedom from the past.” 4. Mike Keller is Estranged From the Rest of the Family None of the family has any contact with Anna’s older brother, Mike. Anna’s parents and sister have refused to reveal why this is the case. 5. Susanna Keller Has Also Cut Ties Anna’s younger sister, Susanna Keller, had a baby out of wedlock as a teen. Now 23, Susanna has moved to Texas and renounced her family’s fundamentalist ways. 6. Anna’s Oldest Sister is Getting a Divorce Anna’s oldest sister, Rebekah McDonald, is in the process of getting a divorce. That’s a major no-no in the insanerly strict Keller family. View Slideshow

Jessa Duggar Attempts to Prove Anna & Josh Duggar Are Still Together on Instagram

Earlier today, we reported tha t Anna Duggar has sold her home in Arkansas , a move that’s being taken by many as an indication that she’s finally decided to leave Josh Duggar. It would be devastating news for a family as committed to the “integrity of marriage” (read: their own reputation as patriarchal Bible-thumpers) as the Duggars, so it should come as no surprise that they’re already denying the rumor without addressing it directly. Those are photos that Jessa Duggar posted to her Instagram page today, and while they may seem to be nothing more than innocent photos of her husband and nephews, she may have had an ulterior motive in posting the pics. The photo on the left shows Jessa’s husband, Ben Seewald, holding Anna’s daughter Meredith. The photo on the right shows Anna’s son Michael holding Jill Duggar’s son, Israel. According to the latest rumors about Anna and Josh, Anna sold the couple’s Arkansas home with the intention of permanently relocating to Florida. So it’s interesting that Jessa chose today to post a photo of Anna’s son hanging out with Israel, and a second image that shows Ben holding Meredith in what appears to be Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s living room. The message to Duggar fans seems clear: Anna and her kids are still in Arkansas; don’t believe everything that you read. Of course, the possibility remains that Anna is just visiting her in-laws and has no intention of remaining in the Tontitown area. Several sources have confirmed that Josh and Anna’s home was put on the market within days of the revelation that Josh used an Ashley Madison account to search for cheating partners. It’s also been verified that Anna is living with her parents in Florida, though several sources claim they have encouraged her not to leave Josh.

Josh Duggar: His Family Will Never Trust Him Again, Source Says

Last week, we learned that despite reports that he fled his treatment facility when the going got tough, Josh Duggar is still in rehab for his supposed sex and pornography addictions. We know that Anna Duggar will not divorce Josh under any circumstances, and that the rest of his family is doing all that they can to help him overcome what they feel is a serious mental illness. Jessa Duggar recently hinted that she forgives Josh in social media post, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the family is finding it quite so easy to move on from his many indiscretions. An unidentified Duggar spoke to Entertainment Tonight recently, and he or she says Josh has a long road ahead of him before he can be welcomed back into the fold.  “It is going to take a long time before we forgive,” the anonymous family member told ET. “In the long term, eventually, we will forgive — it will be in our best interest to forgive. Won’t happen soon. Won’t happen fast. “Just because we forgive doesn’t mean we trust ever again. We are still extremely upset. We are all still hurt. Josh is still in rehab, nobody is warm and fuzzy to him yet. It still feels like he is a stranger.”  Yes, it sounds as though it may be quite some time before Josh’s family will be ready to look past his long history of sexual misconduct and see him as a brother or son once again. The Duggars’ once-adoring public, of course, will likely never forgive him. View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled

Snooki to Anna Duggar: What the Eff is Wrong with You?!?

During Tuesday’s installment of Snooki’s Naturally Nicole podcast, the famous host turned her attention to the recent Ashley Madison hack. And addressed the strong possibility that her husband was a client and has been cheating on her? Nope. Snooki made no mention at all of the likelihood that  Jionni LaValle was an Ashley Madison member . Instead, the former Jersey Shore star honed in on the latest Duggar family crisis and posed a question to Anna Duggar. “He called himself a hypocrite, and he said, ‘I’m ashamed of myself,'” Polizzi said of Duggar’s admission that he’s a cheater . “His wife is still standing by him. Like, what the f— is wrong with you? Like, what are you doing?” Earlier this month, hackers infiltrated the Ashley Madison database and released endless amounts of data on those affiliated with the infidelity-themed website. After it came out that Josh Duggar’s credit card was on file, the estranged reality star owned up to a porn addiction and multiple instances of stepping out on his wife. Said Duggar in a statement at the time: “I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.” Anna Duggar, meanwhile, is yet to respond publicly to her husband’s infidelity. But a mother’s Facebook post went viral this week in which she lamented the position in which Anna’s family and religion have placed her. It’s pretty great stuff. For Snooki and many others, THIS IS WORTH A READ . View Slideshow: 13 Reasons Why Anna Duggar Should Leave Josh NOW

Josh Duggar Hinted at "Wrong Thoughts" on Website Long Before Scandal

Josh Duggar has clearly been battling serious issues for some time. In fact, a look at his website reveals some signs of trouble long before he became a scandal-plagued pariah who brought down a reality TV empire. On Josh and wife Anna Duggar’s site, the 27-year-old hinted at having impure desires and “temptations” from an early age in a previous post. “As I became a teenage young man I was constantly tempted to have lots of wrong thoughts, and often battled to keep my heart right,” he writes. “One of the greatest things that helped me,” or supposedly helped him, he adds, “in my struggles was my parents’ commitment to accountability.” “They were faithful to talk with each one of their children – if we were willing to share honestly and openly with them – to maintain a clear conscience.” “I learned quickly that great freedom can be achieved by accountability, and great accountability requires humility and openness.” ” I often had failures in my early teenage years, but found I had a clear conscience only when I was willing to confess quickly to God and my parents.” We now know, of course, what those failures were – ask Jessa and Jill Duggar – though it’s unclear if he understands the meaning of accountability. His temptations clearly were wide-ranging and unabated, too, despite the praise he lavished upon his future wife back in the day. A lengthy recounting of the married couple’s courtship period frequently references said talks with God and with his parents about Anna Duggar: View Slideshow: 23 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals: How Low Can They Go?! “As we talked, I felt God speak to my heart that this was the girl I was going to marry someday! By that night I still could not get her off my mind!” “I went to my dad and told him what I felt like God had told me. He told me he thought it could be a possibility, and then asked if I felt that I was ready.” On Thursday, it was revealed that Josh Duggar used Ashley Madison to troll for sex partners, making him essentially “the biggest hypocrite ever.” Josh admitted he cheated on Anna and is a porn addict , though he later edited his statement to remove the porn part … like it makes a difference. It’s not clear if Danica Dillon was among his cheating partners, but his double life – coupled with what he did for a living – has tarnished his family. Being a shady individual is one thing, but this clown spent the bulk of his time decrying the sexual behaviors of others as ungodly. Unbelievable. The troubled reality star, of course, also molested his own sisters when he was a teenager, costing him his job at the Family Research Council. When that scandal broke earlier this year, 19 Kids & Counting was at its peak popularity. Since then, its downfall has been extreme and abrupt. Somehow, Anna Duggar has not divorced him … though we’re hoping someone will crowdfund that to get the ball rolling and make it worth her while.

Josh Duggar Admits to Cheating on Wife, Porn Addiction, Being Total Hypocrite

Yesterday, the world learned that Josh Duggar used Ashley Madison , the hacked adultery website, to help him cheat on his wife, Anna Duggar. It was the latest in a long line of scandalous revelations for Duggar, coming on the heels of news that he had molested four of his sisters . That was in 2002 and 2003, though. Horrific as it was, a long time has passed since then. These current revelations, however, are recent. In addition to Ashley Madison, it appears that 27-year-old father of four Josh was on OK Cupid trolling for chicks behind Anna’s back. Josh has issued a statement in which he basically admits as much, confessing his history of infidelity … and addiction to pornography. “I have been the biggest hypocrite ever,” the former lobbyist admits. “While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the Internet.” “This became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.” “I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family.” “And, most of all, Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him. “I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old.” “Now I have re-broken their trust.” “The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings.” “I humbly ask for your forgiveness,” he concludes. “Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.” Wow. Just wow. Not a bad statement considering the situation, but still, nothing short of astonishing that it came to this. Anna Duggar has yet to speak on the matter, and given the strict nature of the Duggars’ religious beliefs, it is unlikely that she will file for divorce. First time for everything, though? In any case, earlier today, an insider at TLC revealed that Josh’s list of indiscretions has likely brought the Duggars’ television careers to an end .

Josh Duggar Admits to Cheating on Wife, Porn Addiction, Being Total Hypocrite

Josh Duggar Befriended Local Strippers on Facebook?

Earlier today, Josh Duggar admitted to cheating on his wife and being addicted to online porn. The confession came on the heels of the revelation that Duggar had used the website Ashley Madison in order to seek out potential sex partners. Now, Radar Online is reporting that Josh’s online infidelities didn’t end there. The site claims that Duggar had a secret Facebook account that he used to befriend sex workers and keep up-to-date on the happenings at local strip clubs. Duggar used the handle online “joesmithsonnwa” and the email address joesmithsonnwa@gmail[dot]com to sign up for his Ashley Madison account. Radar claims that a Facebook page belonging to a “Joe Smithson” was registered to that email account and was used by Duggar as recently as last year. “Smithson” reportedly followed an Arkansas strip club and was friends with 32 young women, including several models and “dancers” with racy photos on their accounts. In the statement he issued this afternoon, Duggar admitted that he was “unfaithful” to his wife, but did not go into detail. It is unknown if he was successful in his efforts to find a mistress online, but Duggar did pay an extra $250 fee to Ashley Madison in exchange for the site’s “affair guarantee.”

Josh Duggar Welcomes Baby Girl: See the Photo!

Josh Duggar has become a father for the fourth time. The controversial reality star announced on Twitter today that wife Anna has given birth to a girl named Meredith; she weighed in at 7 lbs., 14 oz. and measured 20.5 inches in length. Duggar also included the following photo of father, daughter and mother along with the confirmation message: “Announcing the arrival of Meredith Grace Duggar!” Josh Tweeted. “Anna and Meredith are resting & doing well!” Meredith joins Marcus, 2, Michael, 4, and Mackynzie, 5, in Anna and Josh’s immediate family. Josh and Anna have been married since 2008 and announced their latest pregnancy in December, coming out with their daughter’s gender four months later. Josh Duggar, of course, has been in the news for several weeks now… for reasons that have nothing to do with impending fatherhood. He admitted in May to sexually molesting multiple young girls back when he was a teenager, a handful of whom were his own sisters. “I hurt others, including my family and close friends,” Josh said in a statement on May 21, adding: “I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation…I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life.” Anna Duggar then came out in support of her husband, telling the world a week later that she forgives him. TLC, however, immediately yanked 19 Kids and Counting off its schedule and just announced its official cancelation on July 16. Meredith, meanwhile, will soon have a little cousin: Josh’s sister, Jessa (Duggar) Seewald is also expecting.

Josh Duggar: Persona Non Grata at Amy Duggar Engagement Party!

As the Duggars celebrated cousin Amy‘s engagement to Dillon King on Monday, one prominent family member was conspicuously absent. We’ll give you one guess who, and why … The Duggar Family Official Facebook page posted a photo of the large Arkansas clan, including the very pregnant Anna and Jessa Duggar . Jessa’s husband Ben Seewald was present. Anna’s husband Josh Duggar … not so much. The official group picture was captioned simply: “We are so excited for our niece Amy Duggar and Dillon King on getting engaged.” No mention of her eldest missing cousin. According to reports, an old friend of the family said, “Josh and cousin Amy are actually the closest in age and grew up together.” “They are close. If the scandal hadn’t come to light I have no doubt he would have been happily posing in the group photo.” That would be the Josh Duggar molestation scandal, of course, that brought the reality TV empire crashing down this spring. Is this a sign that rumors of the family shunning Josh and treating him like the third rail since his return to Arkansas are true? Conversely, did he sit this one out just to make sure Amy’s big moment wasn’t ruined by talk of him and his past misdeeds? In any case, he sent congrats on Instagram . “Congrats to Dillon & Amy on your engagement … welcome to the family @kingdillpickle,” Duggar captioned a photo of the pair. Some insiders believe the family hopes to ease Josh back into the public eye as his sex abuse scandal (hopefully) blows over. When that will be is anyone’s guess, though.
