Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson: Look at Our Beautiful Home!

Since  Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson married in early summer, even hardcore Duggar fans have only gotten glimpses into their life together. Now, just in time for Christmas, the couple is showing off their beautiful home. Take a look: Right before the holidays, Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson finally gave fans a real look at their home. (No, their RV adventure does not count) On the couple’s shared Instagram account, they decided to give their fans a sneak peek at their home. “I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas,” Josiah and Lauren wrote on their Instagram Stories. With it, they featured a brief glimpse at their very tidy and extremely festive living room. They definitely worked hard to strike a balance between humble and celebratory, and the results are remarkably tasteful. Take a look: The carpet looks simple but comfy and easy enough to vacuum. The room’s furniture is a simple, understated gray. Throw pillows decorate the couches, softening the visual impact of the furniture while providing some very practical comfort. The neutral tones that permeate the room really allow the lights and colors of the Christmas tree to captivate your attention. With the window blinds open, their house shares its festive light with the outside as well as those within. Some Christmas trees get upstaged by a room’s decor, but there is no risk of that happening here. Notably, the Christmas tree is not the only splash of green in the room. Of particular notice — once you’re done staring at the Christmas tree, that is — is the wall’s centerpiece. “Welcome to our happily ever after,” the sign proclaims. To show how personal the sign is, and that it’s not just something that they picked up at Target, the sign continues. “Josiah and Lauren,” the sign notes. “June 30, 2018.” June 30, just barely over a week into the summer, was the couple’s wedding date. For some married couples, a “happily ever after” declaration would be seen as very optimistic. But the Duggar clan are not permitted to divorce. They really are bound to each other, for better or for worse. Hopefully, they’ll always be as happy as they are now. Josiah and Lauren are keeping quiet about pregnancy rumors that have followed them for months. Though some say that Lauren all but confirmed the rumor, others remain deeply skeptical. In fact, some fans are actively hoping that pregnancy rumors are nothing but hot air. Several fans have commented on the couple’s posts, suggesting that Lauren is young, and that they hope that they’ll follow Jinger’s example. If Lauren waits a couple of years before having a baby, she and Josiah can get to know each other. It’s worth noting that their marriage is the first time that either of them have been truly free in their adult lives. They should enjoy that time before they become parents. There may be hope for the couple — because Josiah is known for being a bit of a rebel. Some even believe that Josiah Duggar will be the first to break free from his fertility cult family . He was previously seen as more rebellious than his siblings, and though Jim Bob controls the purse strings, that can only last for so long. He and Lauren may decide to wait before having a child. But Lauren may very well be pregnant right now. Only time will tell which fans will be excited and which will be disappointed. In the mean time, we’d settle for seeing the rest of their house!

Source: Michael Reaves / Getty James Harden Hosts His Annual Christmas Shopping Spree Earlier this week, James Harden’s 3theHardenWay foundation partnered with the Target in Pearland, Texas to shut down the store for a select number of families so they could have an undisturbed shopping spree. Each one of the 70 children received a gift card to purchase whatever they want with their parents by their side. Even better for some of the big basketball fans, Harden himself made a surprise appearance to take part in the families’ big moment. The baller shared news of his annual good deed on Instagram, explaining that he’s already looking forward to next year so he can do it all over again. He wrote, “Another year in the books! Had a lot of fun with my annual Christmas shopping spree. The feeling never gets old. Thank you to everyone that volunteered to help make this event special each year. Looking forward to next year already!” Harden did some similar activities just a month before during Thanksgiving, so it’s clear that the NBA MVP is all about feeling good by making others feel good.

So Sad: August Alsina Reveals His Sister Passed Away On Christmas

Source: Prince Williams / Getty August Alsina Reveals Mother Of His Nieces Died From Cancer Christmas Day Singer August Alsina and his family have suffered a terrible loss over the holiday, his sister Chandra passed away. August shared the somber news with fans on social media with a lengthy emotional message to his older sister who battled cancer. Chandra was actually the mother of three children fathered by his late biological brother Melvin. Melvin was gunned down in New Orleans in 2010 according to a VH1 report . In his public eulogy to Chandra, he revealed she asked for him to take care of his nieces left behind without parents. So sad. Here is August’s full message: Chandra… My Sister, My friend, life giver to my nieces, my hair magician, my biggest supporter, my number one fan. We lost such a beautiful soul on Christmas Night To the battle with cancer. I am Utterly devastated & Deeply shattered! Not only for myself, but for my 3 little nieces, whom are now robbed of BOTH parents. First they killed Mel, Now Cancer has stolen you. What is life? Why is life? Why is THIS life? I’m calling on God for the answers. I don’t question God but THIS I’m not in agreement with. After Mel left I was always pushing you and hard on you about figuring out life’s direction & purpose for yourself..encouraging your entrepreneurship with mostly my fear speaking. Afraid & wanting my nieces to see an example of hustle, drive, determination and confidence through you so that they’d follow suit as young women…. & ALL along you were PERFECT! Living in your perfect purpose. The perfect mother, the perfect friend, the perfect sister, the perfect listener, the perfect caregiver, the perfect example of a young black woman traumatized by the ruins of our cultural upbringing trying their damndest to push to evolve and overcome fear while trying to raise 3 precious little innocent lives &’figure out a life your own at the same time. Before you left You asked me to guard & raise these girls, & I promise you I don’t even know where to begin. I am at a lost & am desperately craving and crazing to be found, so please send some signs, help us out. I have trouble accepting the fact that you’re gone, so it’ll be like we’re just going for a while without seeing each other. Someday hopefully I’ll find you where you are, where Peace is. Please say hello to Melvin & hug him for me, & just ask God to cover the emotions of the girls and allow their hearts to be open, accepting and able to receive love. Ask God to expand my capacity because right now I’m maxed out. Lord knows I’m still raising myself but I guess it’s officially official…I’m a DAD now & I have 3daughters, & i don’t know the slightest thing about it or where to start but unfortunately I/we know loss too well. Rest In Peace my dearest sweet sister..You made it out of this hell hole. May she rest in peace.

Jordan Peele’s “Us” Trailer Has Triggered A Ton Of Think Pieces

Read the original here:

Source: Paras Griffin / Getty On Christmas day, Jordan Peele unveiled the trailer for “Us”, the upcoming psychological horror film starring former Black Panther co-stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke. The film is about a husband and wife, Gabe and Adelaide Wilson, who take their children to their beach house in the Bay Area on a family vacation. Unfortunately, things turn spooky fast when the family is approached by their psychotic doppelgängers who attempt to kill them. The trailer, which is about two and a half minutes long, leaves a lot to the imagination but one thing is for certain, when the film hits theaters in March, everyone will be there to see it. Here we go. #WatchYourself #UsMovie @UsMovie pic.twitter.com/rWev0UjgEv — Jordan Peele (@JordanPeele) December 25, 2018 While the trailer leaves a lot to interpretation, Jordan Peele tells EW what the film is essentially about. “I think the main idea that went into writing this film is that we’re our own worst enemy, and that idea created this monster, The Tethered. I wanted to forge this new mythology that explored our duality and the duality of the characters.” The best part of the trailer has to be the use of the iconic Bay Area hip hop classic “I Got 5 On It” by Luniz. For the first time ever, “I Got 5 On It” has been seen as eerie and creepy. It’s been used in a way no one has ever thought to use the song before. In literally no time at all, social media has already broken down the “Us” trailer and its use of “I Got 5 On It”. Twitter user Greg Carr (@AfricanaCarr) said of the song’s usage in the trailer: “ Not just a song. Or now a movie anthem. A diaspora expression that speaks to a basic African principle. Nobody rides for free. It ain’t about what you got “five on” It’s about you putting your resources in on whatever we fixing to do. “Us” indeed. Word. #IGotFiveOnIt #UsMovie “ Jordan Peele spoke on using the song for the trailer and as you can imagine, in contrast, it had nothing to do with African proverbs. In fact, Peele says, “That song, it came pretty simple, I’m making a movie in Northern California, that’s a bay area hip-hop classic and I wanted to explore this very relatable journey of being a parent [and] maybe some of the songs you listened to back in the day aren’t appropriate for your kids. So that was one level, and another part was, I love songs that have a great feeling but also have a haunting element to them and I feel like the beat in that song has this inherent cryptic energy, almost reminiscent of the Nightmare on Elm Street soundtrack. So those were the ideas that that song hit the bullseye on for me, and also, it’s just a dope track.” Besides the use of the Oakland classic, other fan theories have popped up online. Hit the flip to see what social media is saying.

No, No, No! Walmart Santa Arrested After Bodies Of His Teenage Kids Found Buried In Backyard

Source: The Washington Post / Getty Walmart Santa Charged With Concealing Death Of 2 Children Elwyn Crocker Sr. is something a lot darker and more sinister than simply “naughty”. According to the AJC , the 50-year-old who until recently played Santa at the Walmart in Rincon, Georgia was arrested along with his wife and her parents and charged with child cruelty and concealing a death after the bodies of his two children, Mary Crocker and Elwyn Crocker Jr., were found buried in his backyard. Crocker Jr had been missing since November 2016 and Mary was last sighted back in October but neither were ever reported missing. Police received a concerned tip about Mary’s disappearance and went to interview her father at his home. During that interview, police got the hunch that they should do some digging around the Crocker’s backyard where the bodies were discovered. Their cause and manner of death are still the subject of an ongoing investigation. Effingham County is small farming town of only 2,000 and news of the crime is unlike any they have ever encountered. “I’ve been doing this 41 years, and a while ago I almost broke down in tears,” Sheriff Jimmy McDuffie told reporters, his voice shaking. “It’s that bad. I cannot understand how you do children like this. It’s horrible.” Santa is supposed to be benevolent and kind, not murder-y. Careful about who’s lap you place your children on to take cute Christmas pics…

Poor Thang: Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms’ Christmas Macaroni Caused Chaos On Twitter

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms often shares pics of her cooking creations and this year’s Christmas holiday was no different. KLB started off strong with pics of Brussel sprouts… Lol…my sister said my Brussel sprouts are crispy like potato chips. pic.twitter.com/HUQefaF2YT — Keisha Lance Bottoms (@KeishaBottoms) December 25, 2018 and mouthwatering monkey bread. Perfect monkey bread! pic.twitter.com/B0SnqTH8t4 — Keisha Lance Bottoms (@KeishaBottoms) December 25, 2018 Things went waaaaaay left however when she posted a pic of her holiday macaroni that looked like it lacked cheese and was desperately dry. Mac and cheese…. pic.twitter.com/E0bA5eZgZU — Keisha Lance Bottoms (@KeishaBottoms) December 25, 2018 Twitter then went CRAZY on Keisha for her criminal concoction and the results were hilarious.

Lol…For the shady none cooking crew, add more cheese a few minutes at the end & then mix it up to make it juicy. Trust, nothing dry here. https://t.co/vSN0tTJ1qK — Keisha Lance Bottoms (@KeishaBottoms) December 25, 2018 This isn’t the first time Mayor Bottom’s cooking has caused scrutiny. Last Christmas her followers were distraught to see her using Zatarain’s gumbo base to make gumbo for her buddies Roland Martin and Don Cheadle. According to ATL’s 60th mayor, however, it was absolutely delicious. For those who questioned my gumbo, @rolandsmartin @DonCheadle #GumboWars , but a mere bowl left. May not be perfect, but it sure was good. pic.twitter.com/pTmJ80HxAk — Keisha Lance Bottoms (@KeishaBottoms) December 25, 2017 You tell ’em, Madam Mayor. Was KLB’s mac and cheese that bad or is Twitter exaggerating—again???

Mike Sorrentino Celebrates Final Christmas Before Jail Sentence

Talk about a bittersweet situation for The Situation. On Tuesday, the veteran Jersey Shore cast member celebrated his very first Christmas as a married man, proving as much by posing on Instagram with his wife, Lauren. But here’s the thing… … it was also Mike’s last Christmas before he goes away to prison for several months. Like we said: bittersweet, right? “Merry Christmas from The Situations & don’t forget to treat thyself,” the MTV personality captioned this photo of himself and his soulmate. On October 5, The Situation (aka “Sitch”) was sentenced to eight months in jail for tax evasion, which he pleaded guilty to back in January. According to legal documents, Sorrentino had to surrender to the Bureau of Prisons by January 15 at the latest, which means he has just over two weeks left at home with his new wife. Gotta be a bit scary for the often-drunk celebrity. Since the sentencing, however, Mike has tried to make the most of the free time he has remaining. The clearest example, of course, being that Sorrentino married Lauren on November 1. “We are so incredibly excited to begin our journey as husband and wife!” the high school sweethearts told Us Weekly shortly after exchanging vows, adding at the time: “We are each other’s best friend and together we can handle anything. Thank you to all our family, friends and fans who have supported us every step of the way. “Gym, Tan, Laurens is the new GTL! With Love, Mr. & Mrs. Michael Sorrentino.” As you might have expected, Mike’s co-stars were all in attendance at his wedding. We’re talking about Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Deena Cortese, Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, Vinny Guadagnino and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro. A few weeks after their gorgeous wedding, Mike and Lauren flew to Tucson, Arizona, enjoying a relaxing and luxurious honeymoon at Miraval Spa. While there, the newlyweds treated themselves to a number of spa treatments, lots of tasty food and many scenic hikes. It may sound simple, but Mike will be missing all of those things when he’s in the clink. On Saturday, meanwhile, the Situation celebrated three years of sobriety . We’ve been joking about the guy here and there in this post, but now it’s time to be serious: That’s impressive and admirable. Well done, dude! “Big daddy Sitch celebrating 3 years of sobriety & teaming up with @discoveryinstitute_nj to bring a holiday meal to Phoenix Recovery House in Eatontown NJ for Christmas,” Sorrentino wrote on Instagram to honor the occasion, concluding: 2019 will be your year of advancement … God is taking you to another level.
