Jill Duggar Baby Bump Photo: 28 Weeks and Counting!

The pregnant Jill Duggar has posted a baby bump photo for the first time in awhile, and that bump sure is coming along at 28 weeks and counting. #BabyDilly is coming so soon, she’s literally counting down the days! Jill Duggar Baby Bump Photos 1. Jill Duggar Baby Bump: 28 Weeks! Jill Duggar has reached the 28-week mark! That is one cute bump! The 19 Kids and Counting star, 23, shared an update on her family’s official Facebook page Sunday, revealing that she is 28 weeks and 4 days pregnant. The caption reads: “Sweet picture of our Jill and her little one!” “At this point in gestation, there is now a 90 percent chance that he could survive outside the womb. Life is beautiful. We can’t wait to meet this boy!” Jill is due in mid-March, exactly nine months after she married husband Derick Dillard. Fitting. Typically, 37 weeks is considered full term for a pregnancy. Mothers usually hope to give birth around 39 weeks or later. Children born before that time are more likely to have developmental issues or health problems, though as the family notes, most if not all survive. True to form, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are planning and preparing up a storm, stocking up and saving in anticipation of #BabyDilly’s arrival. They’ll pick a real name for their son when he’s born, we assume, but they have sort of made that hashtag and moniker his “name” while in the womb. “@jillmdillard got a really good deal on some bananas!” Derick wrote on Instagram. “($0.10/ lb) Gonna be great for the little monkey growing inside of her.” “#frozenbananas #savemoneylivebetter,” Derick, who works as a tax accountant at his local Walmart, appropriately captioned the picture below. Oh, these two. So freaking cute. Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos! 1. Jill and Derick Go Bananas Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard go bananas about the deal they just got on these. 10 cents a pound. What a sick price, even if they’re already brown. In other Duggar news … Evelyn Ruark , a.k.a. Michelle Duggar’s lesbian sister , is reportedly broke, yet receives zero help from her estranged, famous sibling. More controversy erupted over this Jedediah Duggar gun photo , in which the 16-year-old packed serious heat over Christmas. Jana Duggar continues to be maligned, put upon and the subject of Internet campaigns to “free” her from the grip of her famous family. Jessa and Ben are likely having sex in public right now. Just kidding. But by all accounts, those newlyweds are hot for each other!

Madonna Compares Self to Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Sparks Outrage

Madonna recently compared online song leaks from her new album to rape and terrorism , generating her usual bit of controversy in the process. But that was apparently just the appetizer to a full-on meal of outrage the legendary artist has gone on to spark this week. In a series of Photoshopped Instagram pictures to promote her CD, “Rebel Hearts,” Madonna seemingly likened herself to Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela by superimposing her album artwork on to their faces. “This #rebelheart fought for freedom!” Madonna captioned the photo of Mandela, adding of Dr. King: “This #rebelheart had a dream.” The use of such icons as a tool of music promotion has stirred up anger among many Twitter followers. “This is pure stupidity,” wrote one user, whole another told the artist to “grow up” and another posed a question question: “Bitch what the f—k?” In a more eloquent critique, another “beate_abbey” wrote the following: “To lessen Mandela’s and Dr. King’s achievements as far as making their faces involuntarily a part of a marketing campaign for some irrelevant pop music is just a huge perception disorder. I’m already unnerved by all this pictures with strings in people’s faces. This despair is such a cringe factor. It’s a pity.” 10 Controversial Photos of Madonna 1. Madonna Armpit Hair Pic Madonna has hair in her armpit. And she’s not afraid to show it off. One day before her controversial snapshots went public, Madonna appeared aware they would cause anger. “Dear haters, I have so much more for you to be mad at … be patient!” she wrote on Instagram. The Material Girl also recently posed in a burqa and referred to kale as gay .

Kanye West to Kim Kardashian: No Makeup! No Spinoffs! No Reggie Bush!

According to a recent tabloid report, Kanye West picks out clothing for Kim Kardashian every day of the week.

The magazine alleges that these rules include the following: NO MAKEUP AROUND THE HOUSE!  WEST “likes her to be natural and has demanded that she wear less makeup – unless she’s going to a big event,” THE source says. “When she does go out, he insists she tone it down. He wants her to show their daughter, North, that natural is beautiful.” NO CONTACT WITH EXES! Neither Reggie Bush nor Kris Humphries received a Christmas card from Kim this year. Kanye reportedly insists the couple only chills with power players such as Jay Z and Beyonce, Anna Wintour and John Legend; and she is forbidden from contact with any ex-boyfriends of husband. “He basically controls who she goes out with,” sums up the insider. NO SPINOFFS! Don’t hold your breath for Kim and Kanye Take Manhattan Beach , E! viewers. “He already laid down the law about what she can and can’t do for work,” says this mole. “He doesn’t want her filming any of the spin-offs with [ Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian].” Fortunately, however, it appears as if Kanye is all for Kim Kardashian nude pictures.

Leelah Alcorn Suicide: Mother Still Won’t Acknowledge Teen Was Transgender

The mother of Leelah Alcorn, the transgender teen who killed herself after her parents shunned her identity, still will not support her orientation or even acknowledge it. “We don’t support that, religiously,” Carla Alcorn told CNN in an interview, one week after Leelah Alcorn (born Joshua Alcorn) committed suicide in Ohio. “But we told him that we loved him unconditionally. We loved him no matter what. I loved my son. People need to know that I loved him. He was a good kid, a good boy.” Using masculine pronouns to talk about Leelah throughout the interview, Carla Alcorn has faced backlash for consistently referring to Leelah as “Joshua.” In her suicide note, dated to publish on her Tumblr after she walked in front of a truck at 2:30 a.m. on I-71, Leelah called for her death to mean something. She also wrote about the issues that transgender people face, and detailed how her parents pulled her out of school and took away her electronics. That almost led her to suicide, she said, but once her parents let her see her friends again, she became happy. Unfortunately, the feeling didn’t last. “The only way I will rest in peace is if one day transgender people aren’t treated the way I was,” her suicide note reads. “My death needs to mean something.” “My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide … I want someone to look at that number and say ‘that’s f–ked up’ and fix it.” “Fix society,” she pleaded. “Please.” Signed, “(Leelah) Josh Alcorn.” Leelah Alcorn Photos: R.I.P. 1. Leelah Alcorn Photo Leelah Alcorn, an Ohio transgender teen born Joshua Alcorn, has taken her own life, and left behind a suicide note begging for that to mean something. Carla said she and her husband couldn’t afford the surgery required for transition, and her Internet ban was due to her viewing “inappropriate material.” Leelah’s death and note have caused outrage and, ironically, even some hate notes against her parents for the perception of their treatment of Leelah. Carla said people have been calling her and her husband “horrible people” for the way they dealt with their daughter, which included conversion therapy. About two months before her death, Leelah reached out to Reddit, asking users to help her understand whether or not she was facing abuse by her parents. After several users commented back, she drew a conclusion that she summed up as follows, ” I don’t think it’s considered abuse , just s–tty parenting.”

Lindsay Lohan: Looking Thin and Frail Following Illness?

Last week, Lindsay Lohan contracted a virus known as Chikungunya. Lohan was on vacation in French Polynesia when she contracted the untreatable, mosquito-borne pathogen which can be fatal in some cases. Remarkably, less than one week later, Lindsay seems to have recovered. She hit the town on New Year’s Eve and posted several Instagram pics of herself partying in Manhattan. However, some folks who have scrutinized Linday’s latest selfies say that the actress’ brush with illness appears to have taken a toll. Some fans have pointed out that Lindsay looks thinner than usual in the above pics, leading to speculation that the illness was more serious than LiLo let on. In the past, Lindsay’s weight loss has been blamed on substance abuse, but she claims to be clean and sober these days.  Even when properly treated, Chikungunya can linger in the body for several weeks, but the initial fever generally only lasts a couple days. Thus, many have suggested that Lindsay might be sicker than she realizes and should probably be home in bed rather than hitting up NYC hot spots. Though her recent stint on the London stage went better than expected Lindsay was “too ill” to perform on at least one occasion. At the time, she was accused of faking it, and now we’re starting to hope that was the case. Multiple bouts with illness in the span of just a couple months could be a bad sign for someone as young as Lindsay.  Lindsay Lohan Partying Photos 1. Lindsay Lohan: Cocaine Nose? Some Instagram users have suggested that Lindsay has visible cocaine in her nostril here. Sadly, we wouldn’t be surprised.

Teresa Giudice: Trying, Failing to Cash In Before Prison

Money got Teresa Giudice into her present predicament, so maybe she thinks enough cash can get her out of it? Whatever the case, ever since she was sentenced to 15 months in prison for fraud, Teresa has been selling herself out at every opportunity. The Giudices scored big bucks for pre-prison interview with Andy Cohen , and they reportedly filmed an entire season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (plus a Christmas special) in about half the time it usually takes. But now, it looks like the well has gone dry, and Teresa’s efforts to score one final payday before she gets locked up have fallen depressingly flat. “She was looking for paid holiday photo gigs with her family and personal appearances,” a source tells Radar Online. “She is trying to pocket all the money she can before heading off to the big house.” “We’re told no one even wanted her for press on New Year’s Eve.” Some have speculated that Teresa’s last-minute push for work is less about stacking funds, and more about attempting to distract herself from the reality of her situation. Earlier today, a source revealed that Teresa is still lying to her kids about the fact that she’s just days away from heading to prison for more than a year.  From the sound of things, she might be lying to herself, as well. Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online to see the Giudice family in happier times. 11 Teresa Giudice GIFs That Should Worry Her Fellow Inmates 1.

Taylor Swift Forgot To Give Me A Christmas Present

According to this video, Taylor Swift sent a bunch of Christmas presents to her fans this year as part of some viral marketing stunt thoughtful gesture called “Swiftmas.” And since this is the first I’m hearing about it, apparently she forgot to get something for her favorite blogger.

And I’m sure if I keep being a good little blogger, I’ll get my private Taylor Swift leg show one of these days. Fingers crossed. Continue reading
