It’s only been a month since the world learned the happy news that Amy Duggar is pregnant with her very first child. Amy may be an “unconventional” Duggar when compared to her innumerable cousins, but she’s doing right by her fans. She’s keeping fans up to date on her pregnancy. At 19 weeks, that means a new look at her baby bump! Wearing what appears to be a black maternity blouse, Amy snapped a mirror selfie that shows off her leopard print phone case. But despite her dazzling smile of joy, the focus is on her torso, where a very clear baby bump has begun to emerge. “I see you little bump!!” Amy writes in the caption of her post, shared on Instagram. In case anyone had lost track, she announces: “19 weeks today!!” Take a look at this precious pic and see for yourself: Oh wow! This is happening. In fact, this is not the first glimpse at Amy Duggar’s baby bump that fans have gotten to glimpse. Last time, it was merely a shadow of a bump. Some even dismissed the alleged sighting, attributing it to active imaginations and even wishful thinking. This time, however, Amy wants everyone to see her precious little bump. Back when Amy and Dillon announced this joyous pregnancy, they spoke about how thrilled they were. “We are completely speechless, overly excited, and ready for the next chapter as new parents!” they gushed in April. “The learning curve of being a new father is kind of terrifying,” Dillon admitted. “But at the same time equally astonishing.” That sounds like a very healthy attitude. “I’m over the moon about becoming a momma!” Amy raved. “I just can’t hardly wait!” Amy really stands out from her infamous family in a number of ways. For one thing, she was born in 1986 and is prepared to have her first child at a normal age, and not at an age when most are in college. For another, she dated — yes, dated — at least six different men before getting married to Dillon King. Amy was also not shy about mentioning that she did not want to wait until she tied the know to bone. Boning, it turns out, is fun. It’s now been, what, three and a half entire years since they got married, and only now is she pregnant. That’s all super normal, but in the Duggar world, she might as well be walking backwards on her hands. (Would it be weird to buy a pregnancy pillow if you aren’t pregnant and are, in fact, a man with no uterus to be found? She makes them look comfy) It’s Amy’s differences from her famous relatives that make this pregnancy news so simply happy. Her child can have a real chance at a normal life, as part of society instead of only tangentially connected to it. That’s why Amy is and has been a fan favorite for so long. She illustrates how someone can grow up in that controversial family and still lead a fulfilling life. View Slideshow: Josiah and Lauren Duggar: Expecting First Child!!!!

The ladies of the Duggar family are known for their subservience and commitment to their parents' strict set of moral guidelines. But they're also young, famous women who are branching out on their own in a world where female independence is valued much more than it was in their parents' day. And the daughters of Jim Bob and Michelle seem to take pleasure in expressing their newfound freedom through fashion. The acts of sartorial rebellion began when Jinger Duggar started wearing pants , and they've only continued in the months since. Check out some of the J-squad's most defiant outfits in the gallery below: 1. The Pants Dance Think Duggar fans were upset to see Jinger carrying a gun? Ha! It was her PANTS that caught them off-guard, as Duggar women typically favor floor-length skirts no matter what sort of activity they’re engaged in. 2. The Swimsuit Issue Of course, Jinger’s not the only one who’s capable of flouting her family’s rules in extremely mild fashion. Here, Jessa Duggar rocks the fundamentalist version of swimwear. 3. Workout Skirt And there was a time when Jessa stuck to her family’s “modest” dress code even while working out. It’s worth noting, however, that she’s actually baring some calf here, which makes this quite a racy get-up by Duggar standards. 4. Liberated Jill These days, the Duggar gals are allowed a bit more leeway, as evidenced by Jill’s decision to rock pants in public — while addressing a group of young women, no less! 5. Short Stuff Much of that freedom is due to the 2017 Jinger Rebellion, which culminated in the new mom publicly sporting shorts. 6. Jinger in Tights, Jill in Jeans Recently, Jill and Jinger posed for a pic together, and fans were quick to notice that the sisters were defying their parents by wearing jeans and tights, respectively.

Say this about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: They are nothing if not reliable. One week after welcoming their fourth child (via surrogate), the world famous couple has announced the little boy’s name… … and it may not be Bear, as some social media users had suspected , but it is highly unusual. Are you ready, readers? Are you ready to say hello to PSALM WEST?!? Kardashian revealed her fourth child’s name on Twitter and Instagram this afternoon, several days after simply telling the world that “he’s here and he’s perfect.” She did so in form of a text conversation with her husband, as you can see below: “Beautiful Mother’s Day with the arrival of our fourth child. We are blessed beyond measure. We have everything we need,” West wrote, to which Kim simply wrote “Psalm West.” And now this question is answered. Psalm joins siblings North, Saint and Chicago in a family full of kids whose names are also nouns. That’s not a statement of judgment, it’s just a fact. Prior to this announcement, folks had started to believe that child number-four would be named “Bear” because Kim had included a bear emoji along with photos from her recent baby shower. The mother of four followed her baby name reveal a few minutes later with an update on the week-old, adding simply: “He’s also Chicago’s twin lol I’m sure he will change a lot but now he looks just like her.” Psalm was born via surrogate on May 9, 2019. He siblings are aged five, three and 16 months. In April, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star said she was considering naming her son after her brother, Rob Kardashian. “But then it’s like, North, Saint, Chicago, Rob,” Kim told Jimmy Kimmel at the time while a guest on his talk show. “It doesn’t really go. I really was feeling like that, or Robert. And my brother approved it, so that’s, like, our one kind of name. I like Rob West.” So do we. But Kim is right: Once you’ve gone with North, Saint and Chicago, you really have no choice but to follow those up with something like… Psalm. As of right now, we don’t believe the child has a middle name. We actually don’t think any of Kim’s kids have a middle name. Will any siblings join this ever-growing immediate family? It doesn’t sound that way. “Kim and Kanye have known for awhile and are very excited. They had one male embryo left and are thrilled it has worked out,” a source previously told E! News, adding back then: “Kim always wanted four kids and having two boys and two girls feels perfect. “They were very happy with the entire experience the first time and are so grateful to have one more baby.” As for how she and Kanye arrived at the name Psalm? Kim has not yet said. However, she did try to explain the process to Kimmel a short while back: “We all weigh in. I definitely take a family survey, but it’s usually after the baby’s born and we’re trying to figure out what the baby looks like. “I usually go about three or four days nameless until I feel that it really connects with me.” So we guess this one looks like a Psalm, huh? Interesting. The question now: Where should we rank this name against the other unusual ones chosen by Kim and her loved ones? View Slideshow: Kardashian-Jenner Baby Names: RANKED!
Are we currently witnessing the lowest period in Jenelle Evans' life so far? It kind of feels like it, right? Which is pretty wild to consider, since she had that whole heroin addiction thing a few years back. But right now, at this very moment in time, Jenelle doesn't have custody of any of her three children. And honestly, the chances of her getting them back aren't looking all that great. 1. Let’s Go OK, so all of this Jenelle stuff … it’s a lot, you know? So grab a drink, maybe a snack, and let’s get into every little last depressing detail of this mess. 2. Justice for Nugget You know how it starts: after a few years of a steady downward spiral, David kicked things up about a billion notches when he beat and then shot Jenelle’s French bulldog puppy, Nugget, for nipping at little Ensley. 3. So Sad As we understand it, all the kids who live at the house were there when it happened, and since David reportedly came back inside “covered in blood,” it’s easy to imagine that they may have been a little traumatized. 4. Sure Thing, Girl Jenelle pretended like she was considering divorce for a few days, but when David nearly went to jail because he was unable to pay the child support for his son, Kaden, she ran back into his creepy, dog-murdering arms. 5. Thank Goodness Fortuntely, not everyone was so quick to forgive him. The local sheriff’s department and animal control opened up a joint investigation against him, and after that, things got intense quick. 6. Nathan to the Rescue One of the detectives on the case got in touch with CPS to suggest that the children should be removed from David’s care, and last Friday, Nathan and/or his mother, Doris, picked Kaiser up from daycare.

This Not Exactly Just In: Jenelle Evans is not the best mother on the planet. Anyone who has tuned in for any episode of Teen Mom 2 or surfed the Internet for any amount of time is likely aware of this fact. But Jenelle’s fitness as a parent has never been called further into question than it has been at the moment, with Child Protection Services having recently gone into her North Carolina home and removed her three kids. Following a court hearing on Thursday, Ensley, Jace and Kaiser were all hauled away by the authorities — and it’s unclear when, if ever, they will be returned to their mom. (Jenelle’s husband, David Eason, is the biological father of Ensley, while Jenelle’s shares Jace with Andrew Lewis and Kaiser with Nathan Griffith.) It’s a very ugly and sad situation all around. Evans, of course, has often made headlines for her controversial parenting techniques and decisions . But CPS finally intervened after Eason admitted to shooting and killing his family’s dog, Nugget, because it allegedly snapped at little Ensley and placed her in danger. According to various reports, Eason beat the dog bloody and senseless with his bare hands before putting it out of the misery he brutally inflicted upon it. This story made national news. No one has come to the defense of Eason because his actions were indefensible — but is it time someone stepped in and defended Jenelle as a mother? We’ve been at the forefront of Jenelle’s mockery and we’ve penned one article after another about the dangerous environment in which Jenelle has placed her kids, merely by putting them around Eason, his guns, his temper and his penchant for violence. And yet: it’s a huge deal for a mother to actually, truly, literally lose her kids. With this in mind, we’ve asked members of The Hollywood Gossip editorial team to chime in and respond to the following question: DOES JENELLE EVANS DESERVE TO LOST CUSTODY OF HER CHILDREN? YES by Tyler Johnson Put this one alongside “Is the Pope Catholic?” And “Does a bear sh-t in the woods?” on the list of questions that are so easy to answer they can be used rhetorically. Jenelle’s kids should have been taken away years ago for myriad reasons: She’s been arrested dozens of times — often for violent offenses — her youngest daughter was born with drugs in her system, and through it all, Jenelle has never shown any remorse or willingness to seek help. But, for whatever reason, the powers that be in the state of North Carolina didn’t act until David traumatized the kids by murdering their pet dog. It’s shameful that the authorities allowed those children to remain in such a dangerous environment for so long. But now they have an opportunity to make things right by ensuring that Jenelle is never again granted primary custody of her children. Perhaps if she leaves David, she can one day prove herself worthy of visitation rights. But Evans has demonstrated time and again that she’s not capable of providing a stable home life for a child — especially as long as that monster remains in her life. YES (PLEASE) by Simon Delott Jenelle Evans is, all by herself, a bad enough parent that no child should be condemned to her care. This is a woman who makes Farrah Abraham look like a model reality star – nay, a model human being! – by comparison. To those unfamiliar with the Teen Mom franchise, I describe Jenelle as “Worse Kenny’s Mom,” for those familiar with South Park. It’s a convenient shorthand that gives people a very clear picture of what a disaster she is. On a more serious note, Jenelle has an addiction that makes one almost nostalgic for her erstwhile fondness for needles. That addiction is David Eason, a scary, terrible person and, according to the local sheriff, “the most dangerous man in three counties .” David has served time in prison, but neither it nor the spotlight of fame has made him less of a violent menace. The man should not be trusted to watch a houseplant, let alone a child. I’ve been saying that since poor Nugget was still alive. Will CPS rescue these poor children on a permanent basis? That’s for a court to decide. Unfortunately, we won’t hold our breath. Our legal system places much more value on a parent’s “rights” than it does on a child’s well-being. The only thing that our courts care about less than children is non-human animals. David Eason may be a dog-murderer and an all-around monster, but I don’t have enough faith in the system to count on them recognizing that. He’ll probably just be forced to take some anger management classes and will get to go on living his life. Those poor children deserve better than what our society is willing to do for them. YES (AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE) by Hilton Hater I really wanted to play Devil’s Advocate here. I really racked my brain and tried to come up with some angle in which I could argue that Eason may be a violent bigot but he’s never harmed any of the kids himself. Or that Jenelle has clearly leared her lesson at this point and will re-dedicate herself to being a responsible parent and will always put the well-being of her young ones first and that it’s a really huge deal to actually take away children from their biological mother. But I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t get there. This isn’t an instance where one can even try to make jokes or quips or puns or pretend like it’s not a big deal. This is a massive deal. The lives of two boys and one girl, all under the age of 10, are at stake. Yes, their lives are at stake. Eason has murdered a dog in cold blood. He has almost definitely broken his wife’s collarbone . He cannot control his anger and Jenelle cannot control herself around him; she has proven time and again that she’s incapable of leaving the marriage and, as noted by my colleagues above, she has often shown little regard for her kids even when on her own. This is an easy one and also a tragic one all around: Every day those kids live under Jenelle’s roof, they are in danger. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

The bad news just keeps on coming for Jenelle Evans and David Eason. And as usual, the controversial couple has no one but themselves to blame. In the weeks since David shot and killed Jenelle's dog, all hell has broken loose on the struggling homestead the Easons have dubbed “The Land.” First, Jenelle's son Kaiser was removed from her care . Shortly thereafter, Ensley and Maryssa Eason were removed from The Land by Child Protective Services. Now, it looks as though the authorities may be going to even greater lengths to ensure that David is unable to put his children in harm's way. Take a look: 1. The Beginning of the End In the weeks before he shot and killed the family dog in a fit of rage, David seemed to be spending more time with his kids than usual. Needless to say, those days are done. 2. Barren Land David says he killed the dog to protect his children, but investigators aren’t buying it. At this point, there are no more children living on Jenelle and David’s property. 3. Goodbye to Kai First to be removed from the property was 4-year-old Kaiser, who has reportedly been placed with his father, Nathan Griffith. 4. Escorted to Safety Next, CPS intervened on behalf of Ensley, the couple’s 2-year-old daughter, and Maryssa, David’s 11-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. 5. Whereabouts Unknown There have been conflicting reports about where Ensley and Maryssa are living at the moment. But whatever the case, it seems David’s parenting skills have not improved in the days since they were removed from his care. 6. Tossed Out According to a new report from Radar Online, David was recently removed from a supervised visitation center after he lost his temper in the presence of CPS officials. View Slideshow
Days after Maleah Davis’ stepfather was arrested and weeks after she went missing, Texas authorities confirmed that they are searching for the 4-year-old near a haunted house in Texas. According to FOX 26 , Texas Equusearch coordinator confirmed that they are looking for the child near the Creepy Hollow Haunted House in Rosharon where Derion Vence was arrested in connection to the case. Apparently, Vence is familiar with that area because he worked as a mail carrier in the town from 2017-2018. “All we look for is something that doesn’t fit in,” Jack Boggess with Texas Equusearch told FOX 26. “We look for clothing, shoes, whatever. Just something that doesn’t fit in, and that’s what we key on.” KHOU reported that Vence’s mother-in-law claims that Vence once told her that if he killed anyone he would hide them in Rosharon because no one would ever find the body. Search for Maleah Davis: A deserted haunted house in Rosharon is the scene where Equusearch is currently looking for any evidence of the missing 4-year-old girl. They tell me law enforcement pointed them in this direction. pic.twitter.com/SqerNhegt3 — Ivory Hecker FOX 26 (@IvoryHecker) May 14, 2019 On Saturday night, Vence was arrested and charged with tampering with evidence—a human corpse— after investigators discovered the young girl’s blood in his home and reviewed surveillance footage that shows the 26-year-old walking out of his apartment carrying a heavy laundry basket. It’s been nearly two weeks since Vence claimed that a group of Latino men kidnapped Davis when they were on their way to pick up Davis’ mother, Brittany Bowens, from the airport. He told authorities that he stopped to fix a flat tire when the men came and knocked him out. According to Vence, the men took Davis, but left Vence’s 1-year-old son him. A taxi driver later found Vence’s car in Missouri City on May 9. Last week, Bowens and her lawyer made some serious accusations against Vence, claiming that he was upset with her because she broke off their engagement. That, and he may have been molesting her daughter. “On the day that Brittany left to be with her sick father — her dying father — to be with family, there was a huge fight between her and him,” Quanell X, her lawyer said in a press conference on May 10. “He was hurt, he was angry, he was upset,” adding, “She told him she was giving back his ring and that she was not going to marry him. I believe that caused him to snap in anger. There is a reason to believe, based on what I know now, there’s issues of him possibly molesting young Maleah.” Despite having suspicions of possible sexual abuse, Bowens never reported it to the police. But KTRK reported that in January 2019 Davis and two other siblings were removed from her home as CPS investigated allegations of physical abuse related to a severe head injury she endured. Yet, the children were returned the following month when it was determined that Davis’ injuries were the result of a fall. Meanwhile, law enforcement officials have not yet confirmed whether Davis has died, but investigators do not think she is still alive. Davis was last seen wearing a pink bow in her hair, a light blue zip jacket, blue jeans and gray, white and pink sneakers. If you have any information into Davis’ disappearance please contact Houston Police at at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
