It’s about that time of year when children are showered with graduation gifts and love. Although celebrity offspring live by a different set of rules, it’s still nice to see them enjoying milestones just like any other teenager. Keisha Epps, wife of Omar Epps, shared a celebratory Instagram post of their daughter, Aiyanna, receiving a new car for her 18th birthday. Reginae Carter received a car in her name to establish credit, according to her IG. Celebrities often make sure their family members, especially younger siblings, are taken care of as well. Kendrick Lamar surprised his little sister, Kayla, with a brand new 2017 Toyota for her high school graduation. Last year, it was reported that Young Thug bought houses and cars for all ten of his siblings. Congratulations to all of the Spring 2017 graduates! And if you didn’t get a car yet, keep working hard and your time will come before you know it.

Stop the presses and put an end to the speculation: Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth are married. It’s finally true! And oh so exciting! For the past several days, fans of this reality star have been wondering whether or not she and her long-time acquaintance had tied the knot. There was chatter just a few days ago that Joy-Anna Duggar married Austin Forsyth last weekend in their native Arkansas. A top Duggar social media source, the Facebook page “Duggar Family News: Life Is Not all Pickles & Hairspray, fueled this speculation. Some sources reported that their wedding had, indeed, taken place, although we later learned this not the case after all. Now, however, we can state with certainty that the 19-year-old Joy and the 23-year-old Austin are wife and husband. Because they’ve confirmed it themselves! “We feel so happy and so excited,” the couple told People Magazine after getting married on Friday in a church full of family members and loved ones. The publication has even included a photo of Joy-Anna in her wedding dress for its exclusive article regarding the nuptials. Adds the bride of her big day and her new husband: “Leading up, it was so surreal until I was walking down the aisle and then I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, it’s actually here.’ “We are going to be traveling for our Honeymoon for awhile.” The young star got engaged just a few months after announcing their courtship on the special episode of Counting On: Jinger’s Wedding in November. This is typical protocol for members of the family, of course. Due to the very strict Duggar dating rules , they are barely allowed to do more than whisper in one another’s ears while dating. Heck, you can’t even hold hands until you’re engaged. Therefore, it makes sense they’d want to get married as soon as possible once they find someone they like a whole lot. In Joy-Anna and Austin’s case, the two were family friends for 15 years before entering into a courtship last fall. “It’s really special that I got to grow up with him and my family knows him really well,” Joy-Anna said of Austin back in February. Speaking on their shared history and relationship, the teenager acknowledged at the time that she’s relatively young to be engaged. At the same time, she’s witnessed successful relationships across the board when it comes to her gigantic family. “Watching my sisters go through that with their courtships sets a really good example,” she told People, adding: “I was able to ask them just a lot of questions and wisdom about what they did and didn’t do and then just making it special.” “Showing him how much I appreciate him, it’s been amazing.” Joy-Anna and Austin, meanwhile, recorded a video for TLC so soon after their nuptials that the former is still in her gown. (Hence the photo above). In this preview, the newlyweds tease the June 12 return of Counting On and make it clear that they’re totally psyched to be married. “Saying our vows and saying ‘I do’ and committing our lives to each other is so incredible,” the bride said, beaming with joy. “I am so blessed to be married to him.” And Austin agrees. “I’m just looking forward to getting to share my life, its good time and its challenges, with my best friend,” says in this same teaser. How do famous parent Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar feel about the bump in status for their daughter and official new son-in-law? Pretty darn good! “What an absolutely wonderful day our family will always treasure,” they wrote on Instagram last night. “As parents, we could not be more grateful for the godly woman Joy has become, and the loving husband she married! “We love you, Joy and Austin and are so happy for you both, as you embark on this exciting journey together!” View Slideshow: Counting On Season 4 Preview: What Can We Expect From the Duggars Now? The wedding itself, along with many other details of this relationship, will be featured on the June 12 premiere of TLC’s Counting On. And the Joy-Anna Duggar pregnancy talk can begin right now! This wedding comes after sister Jinger Duggar got hitched to Jeremy Vuolo in November 2016. And this ceremony followed in the marital footsteps of siblings Jill and Jessa Duggar to Derek Dillard in June 2014 and Ben Seewald in November 2014, respectively. Finally, guess what: Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell got engaged at Joy-Anna’s reception! The 22-year-old popped the question to his 18-year-old fiancee! “We are super excited. It’s great to not be courting anymore, now we’re engaged!” the couple shared with People shortly afterward. We send our hearty congratulations to Joy-Anna and Austin … and to Joseph and Kendra too!

Tommie Lee is motherf-cking out of here. To quote the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star herself. Via an Instagram live stream on Wednesday, the long-time VH1 star told fans that she’s simply had it with the show and it’s time for her to try something else in life. Of course, Tommie Lee said this in her own, unique, expletive-filled way. “I been going through so much shit since I’ve been on this shitt… I’ve came to the conclusion where I just don’t want to do this shit no more,” Lee explained to her followers. “To everybody that’s been watching me, to everybody that love the kid and all that, I will not be moving onto the next season.” Lee went on to explain that the program has simply added to a rift that already existed between her and her mother, with Karen King trying to mend the problems between daughter and parent on a Love & Hip Hop Atlanta episode two weeks ago. Alas, the effort failed miserably. “My mama, I wanna apologize to my mama, I love my mama with all my motherf-cking heart,” Lee said in her rant, adding: “Everything I got, I worked for and I struggled, even this motherf-cking TV show. That shit’s hard. I ain’t gon lie… “Sorry baby, I will not be doing this shit anymore just because me, I’m so motherf-cking great that I will never give a motherf-cking opportunity to say they did anything for me. “And I will never tear my family apart. So I bow out gracefully, I’m good.” But did she bow out gracefully?!? Not according to a recent MediaTakeOut report. Sources claim that Lee and a fellow Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast member got into a legitimate fight in Jamaica this month. VH1 and Viacom then got together and demanded that the producers fire Lee because they have zero tolerance for violence on the set and they believed that Lee was a threat to the other ladies. Moreover, this same report alleges that Joseline Hernandez is considered the star of the franchise and actually gets a say on who gets to stick around and who must leave. An insider says Joseline is not a fan of Lee because “while she respects the hustle, she was always fighting.” This insider expounds: “Joseline nearly lost her mind when producers re-hired Tommie back for this season. She’s been scheming to get her fired ever since. “If she did get her way and Tommie got cut, Joseline shouldn’t get too comfortable. I can’t imagine them kicking her off for good.” In other words: Take this entire scenario with a grain of salt the size of Kanye West’s ego. It may be a “work,” as they say in the business, and plans may already be in the works for Lee to show up again next season in some kind of dramatic surprise. You scoff and you shake your head, but admit it: You would feel a need to watch Love & Hip Hop Atlanta online or on TV if you heard Lee was on her way back to confront Hernandez, wouldn’t you?

In the past, Donald Trump and Pope Francis have not seen eye to eye on several issues. It's mostly because the only thing they have in common is that they are both white male human beings, though the “human being” bit is still up for debate on Trump's end. But still, they put their differences aside yesterday for a meeting in Vatican City. And oh, what a joyous time it was. In photos released from the meeting, Pope Francis looks absolutely miserable. Trump is smiling, Ivanka and Melania are wearing black dresses and veils … It's a mess. A glorious, hilarious mess. And you know Twitter is here for it. 1. A Remarkable Resemblance The Trumps do look a little like The Addams Family here, but they wish they could be as iconic. 2. Poor Pope We’d want ice cream too, bud. 3. A Tragedy But still, perfectly understandable. 4. “Freaky Sh-t” Unfortunately, we’ve been dealing with nothing but “freaky sh-t” for months now. 5. Super Awkward Don’t you hate when that happens? 6. Sending a Message The Pope is nothing if not subtle. View Slideshow
Who out there doesn't love Panera Bread? It's probably the best fast food restaurant out there. So good, in fact, that it may not even deserve to be lumped in as a “fast food” chain. Before you order your next sandwich or pastry from the establishment, however, get to know Panera Bread a bit better via the following array of facts. They may take you by extreme surprise… 1. It Originated in Missouri And it remained a local joint called “St. Louis Bread Co.” until the founder of Au Bon Pain took it national. 2. The OG In St. Louis, the franchise is STILL known as The St. Louis Bread Company. 3. “Panera” Means Bread Bowl Sort of. The name translates to “bread basket”or “bread box” in Spanish. 4. There are Four States Without a Panera Bread Sorry, residents of Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. 5. You May Want to Own Some Stock In It Panera is traded publically on NASDAQ. On the day it went public, – June 10, 1991 – shares topped out at $13.25, according to Yahoo! Finance. On February 18, 2017, it hit a peak of $179.37. 6. It Has HOW MANY Locations?!? Over 2,000. In 2015, it was named the most innovative company by Fast Company and opened its 2,000th bakery-café in March 2016. View Slideshow
There was a time when the name Tom Cruise conjured images of a megawatt smile and a stack of phone books to make him appear less Hobbit-like in stature. These days, of course, when we think of Cruise, we’re more likely to imagine the Sea Org members chained up in his basement or the ultra-luxurious spaceship that they’re scrambling to finish building in time for the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard. Yes, at this point, Cruise is less “bankable movie star” and more of “prophet of the Spacelord Xenu.” His role as the face of Scientology takes up a lot of his time, and we’re sure it’s demanding work. Take one hard look at the husk of a man that is Sean Spicer, and you can see the toll that’s exacted by constantly trying to sell total BS to an increasingly skeptical population. But hey, Cruise can do what Cruise wants to do with his time. If he wants to spend his days having his thetans read and avoiding Suppressive Persons, that’s his deal. Unfortunately, it seems one of the SP’s that Tom’s been dodging is none other than his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise. As you’re probably aware, Tom’s divorce from Katie Holmes was a profoundly ugly one, as the actress sought not only to escape her marriage, but also the Scientology community, which tends to hold its adherents’ lives in a Mafia-like vise grip. She succeeded, but only because Cruise agreed to an arrangement in which he and Holmes would completely cut ties. Unfortunately, it seems that also means Cruise has cut ties with Suri . Last year, In Touch reported that Tom hadn’t seen Suri in 1,000 days . Now, the tabloid is reporting that that number has reached 1,346 days and counting . Cruise is currently traveling the globe to promote The Mummy, and his promotional tour recently brought him to within just 23 miles of Suri, who was in Calabasas when Tom was in LA. Sadly, the actor reportedly made no effort to see his daughter, instead hopping a plane to Australia to continue promoting the film. “Tom could have easily made the trip to see Suri. It only takes about 30 minutes without traffic. It would’ve only added a few hours to his busy schedule,” a source tells the magazine. The same insider notes that Tom has not been photographer with Suri since September of 2013. View Slideshow: 10 Stunning Tom Cruise Claims Leveled by Leah Remini
