Source: GIUSEPPE CACACE / Getty Pope Francis celebrated his 81st birthday with a pizza party–but not just for himself, for sick children. The Pope celebrated on Sunday by reflecting on the joy of children and the importance that they are raised with the faith. He said about the choice to spend his birthday helping out the kids, “the joy of children is a treasure, and we ought to do everything so that they continue to be joyous.” The pizza that Pope Francis requested was a 13-foot long selection, which has one large candle for the birthday boy himself to blow out while backed by the children. He then encouraged the children to eat the pizza, saying it will make them grow.

Pope Francis encouraged the children to speak with their grandparents. Grandparents “have memory, have roots, and it will be the grandparents that give roots to the children,” he said. Before eating, he prayed the Hail Mary with the children. People on Twitter have long been big fans of Pope Francis, and a 13-foot pizza–especially one that helps sick children–is even more reason to love the man.

Image via Johnny Louis/Getty Images Ray Allen’s Catfishy Accuser Randomly Drops Restraining Order Last month we reported on former NBA baller Ray Allen’s strange-but-true catfish story that involved a man who purported to be several women whom Ray was communicating with via social media. The perpetrator, Bryant Coleman, threatened to release the sexually explicit conversations and subsequently filed a restraining order against Allen with claims that the sharp-shooting baller vowed to do him harm. However, both parties reached an agreement that was intended to put the matter behind them. Today, TMZ has broken the news that Ray’s accuser has voluntarily dropped his restraining order without explanation. Says Allen’s lawyer, David Markus: “We are pleased Coleman voluntarily dismissed the injunction and false claims he made against Ray Allen.” “Ray has never met Coleman. Ray Allen has never spoken with Coleman. Ray has never threatened him or anyone. He wants nothing to do with him and is looking forward to putting this matter behind him.” This isn’t the first time that Ray has had a issue with cheating on his wife over social media and at this rate he’s going to go down in flames like Anthony Weiner if he doesn’t get his s#!t together.

With the holiday season upon on, families everywhere are looking for extra attention/posting about memories and good cheer on Facebook. In this, the Duggars are certainly no exception, though their fans’ attention to detail is quite exceptional – and may have uncovered a conspiracy. (Not the fact that they sing “Happy Birthday” to Jesus instead of trimming a tree, although that could be discussion-worthy another time.) No, a throwback photo they shared of some of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s younger daughters was what whipped fans into a frenzy. The Inquisitr noted Thursday that the picture (below) shows the girls in Christmas dresses with one of their little brothers behind them. Cute, right? Obviously. Innocent, right? Mostly. Duggar Internet detectives quickly realized that this was the year Josh was away at his Christian-oriented sex rehab hard labor camp . You know, the place in Illinois he was shipped off to after he was exposed as a child molester, adulterer and porn addict back in 2015. Just a coincidence? Much ado about nothing? Very possibly, but first, some background: Reformers Unanimous, the “Christian rehab” center where Josh, now 29, addressed his myriad sexual problems, was always controversial. Those familiar with RU say it that their staff has no actual psychologists, calling it another case of the Duggars handling things “in-house.” In any case, Josh was allegedly sequestered there for months, while his wife Anna moved in with her in-laws at their Arkansas compound. The Inquisitr notes that their four children shared the room as the younger Duggar daughters and the older unmarried girls at this time. Which brings us to the photo, taken around Christmas of that year, and which conveniently crops out the head of the adult male in the back. Now, we can’t prove who that is. Maybe it’s Josh Duggar, maybe it’s not, but that’s not the only reason some fans are wondering whether he attended rehab at all. Earlier reports indicated that Josh, now a father of five, “left for at least some time” during his extended stay in the Illinois facility. Most legitimate rehab facilities have strict policies determining when people can and cannot leave the premises, so that’s already suspicious. Moreover, the Duggar family specifically stated that year that Josh could not leave Reformers Unanimous until his treatment was completed. Since he couldn’t leave, allegedly, Anna Duggar would be visiting him regularly there. We were led to believe that this happened. All of this could be conjecture, but given the way the family handles matters like this, the whole thing was always shrouded in mystery. Is it a stretch to assume that he was simply sequestered in some sort of home confinement while the family concocted this rehab ruse? Probably. But would you really put it past a man (Jim Bob) who was clearly reluctant to address Josh’s sexual issues head-on for years? In any case, it raises a series questions: If Josh Duggar wasn’t actually in rehab, where the heck was he? If he was there, did he just leave and come back whenever he chose? If that’s the case, what kind of facility is this, and did he get any real help while he was there? Can you trust anything this family claims?
