Jinger Duggar Shares New Baby Pic, Raises Concern Among Fans

Posted on August 27, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jinger Duggar g had a reason to celebrate late last week. But the way in which this reality star did show has given followers a reason to be concerned. Allow us to explain… On August 19, Jinger and husband Jeremy Vuolo gave fans a glimpse at their precious first daughter, Felicity Nicole , as a way to pay tribute to her first-ever birthday. Felicity is only a month old, but still… that counts as a birthday. Just ask any first-time parent. To mark the occasion, Jinger posted a few pictures of her adorable baby on Instagram. “Felicity is one month old today!” Jinger wrote as a simple caption to the following image: Then, on Sunday, Jinger followed up this snapshot with two more. The first leads this article up top and features the bundle of joy outside with her proud parents. The second inlcuded with it a caption that reads “Those eyes!” because, well… just look at those eyes on young Felicity! All these photos represent indisputable evidence that Felicity is pretty darn happy, healthy and cute, right? Actually, that may be wrong, some Internet users are now saying. Indeed, while some folks out there have labeled the official one-month picture as one of the most endearing in social media history , something about Felicity’s face and skin tone have others concerned. “Wow, she looks blue. Is she okay? Seriously. I am not trying to be critical or mean,” one fan wrote as a comment, while another remark echoed this sentiment: “I was really alarmed when I saw this picture. She is purple, and that’s not normal. You are right to comment as you did. I hope they take her in and get her checked out.” We don’t think these people are trying to be trolls. They very likely have a legitimate worry (in their mind) over Felicity. But still. Come on now, folks! There’s only so much you can tell by a picture and you should maybe think twice (heck, maybe even three times) before setting up such alarms online. As another follower put it well, chill out with the “scary, negative speculation,” okay?!? The Vuolos, of course, live in Laredo, Texas, making Jinger the first Duggar sibling to relocate outside of Tontitown, Arkansas permanently. Upon becoming a father for the first time, Jeremy gushed back in mid-July: “God is so kind. Jinger gave birth to Felicity Nicole Vuolo this morning at 4:37 a.m. “Felicity weighs 8 lbs and 3 oz, and is 19.5 inches long. Both mom and baby are healthy, doing great, and resting well. “We are very thankful for her safe arrival and look forward to life as parents!” As for why they chose Felicity as their chilld’s name? We’ll go ahead and let Jinger explain ! View Slideshow: Duggar Family Courtship Application: Revealed! Bizarre! 423 Questions Long!!

Duggar Kids Demand Time Off: We’re Sick of Living In Front of a Camera!

Posted on August 10, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Often when the fine denizens of the internet are spewing invective against reality stars in some sort of online forum the phrase “get a real job” is bandied about. Far be it for us to defend the Kardashians and Snookis of the world — people who could buy and sell us despite never having set foot in an office in their adult lives — but life as a reality star can actually be quite demanding. And as the Duggar family is now learning the hard way, it’s particularly tough on young people. According to a new report from Radar Online, the Jim Bob and Michelle’s offspring have essentially formed a union . Their sole demand? No more round-the-clock filming. Yes, apparently, the Jana, Jill, Jessa, et al. are fed up with living their lives in the presence of a camera crew. They don’t want to give up the gig entirely, mind you — it still beats the hell out of punching the clock at a 9 to 5, after all — they’re just sick of feeling like slaves to Counting On ‘s demanding production schedule. “The kids just don’t want to be in front of the cameras 24/7,” one insider tells Radar. “They have a big break in between filming to carry on with their lives.” Apparently, the driving force behind this mini-mutiny is second-eldest son John David Duggar. John David is currently courting Abbie Burnett , and it seems he doesn’t want his first romantic relationship to be painstakingly documented by a full camera crew. At first, it seems, he kept his relationship on the down-low, and now that it’s out in the open, he insists that he and Abbie be allowed some time away from the cameras. “John David kept his relationship quiet and hidden so he could enjoy time without press,” says the source. The other Duggars, apparently inspired by his example, have reportedly also demanded more private time. But if you’re concerned about the future of Counting On , fear not. The insider says the Duggar kids are planning to keep working for TLC for the foreseeable future. “They will keep doing the show for a while,” the source says. Sounds like they have at least a few more seasons left in them. But just to be safe, you might want to watch Counting On online while you still can.

Jeremy Vuolo: Throwing Shade at Derick Dillard on Twitter?!

Posted on August 4, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Just last month,  Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo welcomed their first child . In the weeks since, the happy couple has been doting on their daughter and gushing about little Felicity every chance they get. But that doesn’t mean they’re not making time for the truly important things, like roasting Derick Dillard’s dumb ass on social media. A little backstory is required in order to fully understand why Jeremy’s seemingly innocent tweet from Monday night is being widely interpreted as anti-Dillard shade. As you probably know, Derick was fired from Counting On after unapologetically sharing his bigoted views with the world on Twitter. And it’s not just his former bosses who have taken issue with D-Dill’s big mouth. There have been rumors that several members of the extended Duggar clan want nothing to do with Derick. And reports of a feud between Vuolo and Dillard have been especially common in recent weeks. “Jinger and I are so grateful to TLC for giving us the opportunity to share our lives with all of you!” Jeremy wrote on Twitter before Monday’s Counting On season premiere. “Tune in this Monday night — July 30th, 9/8C — for the new season of #CountingOn.” Sounds innocent enough, but it’s not hard to see why many Duggar-watchers took the remark as an extremely subtle jab at Derick. “Some Dillard shade,” wrote one fan. Another echoed the sentiment with a reluctant shoutout to Jeremy: “He’s good at throwing shade in a fundie acceptable way,” the viewer commented. “I don’t like him, but damn if it ain’t entertaining.” Dillard has made his distaste for his former home network abundantly clear in the months since he was unceremoniously kicked to the curb. He was fired for attacking fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings , and he’s since accused network execs of espousing values that run counter to everything the Duggars stand for. In that context, it’s a bit easier to see how Jeremy’s public praise for the same folks who gave Derick the ax could as smack talk. Of course, the big question now is — will Derick respond?  We sure hope so. We could really go for a heated Duggar feud.

Josiah Duggar & Lauren Swanson Relive Their Whirlwind Courtship on Counting On!

Posted on July 31, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A new season of Counting On debuted on TLC Monday night, and we think it's safe to say the premiere delivered everything that fans have come to expect from the Duggar clan. The episode centered around the wedding of Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson . Not only did fans get their first look at the couple's massively-attended ceremony, we also got to circle back and relive Lauren and Josiah's courtship . As we've known for months, Lauren and Josiah are not your typical Duggar couple. And last night's two-hour-plus mega-episode was not your typical season premiere. Check out some highlights from Josiah and Lauren's big day in the gallery below: 1. The Happy Couple Josiah and Lauren have been head-over-heels for one another from the moment their courtship began. On this week’s episode of Counting On they relived their whirlwind romance. 2. Starting at the End The episode kicked off at the conclusion of Josiah and Lauren’s courtship, as the excited couple put the finishing touches on their wedding preparations. It then circled back to fill fans in on their brief bur passionate romance. 3. They DO Have a Sense of Humor! “I can’t wait to meet you at the altar and marry you,” Josiah tells Lauren early in the episode. The comment prompts a Counting On producer to joking suggest that the couple “get a room.” 4. Meet Josiah At one point, the episode throws it waaaay back to Josiah’s childhood, as his siblings lovingly recount their memories of the family’s resident prankster. 5. Meet Lauren From there, Lauren was introduced to viewers, and the Duggars spoke just as lovingly about their new sister-in-law. “Lauren is already one of the sisters,” Jessa Duggar remarked. 6. A Courtship Begins Both Lauren and Josiah can barely contain their joy while discussing the early days of their relationship and the manner in which he proposed. View Slideshow

Jinger Duggar Shows Off Baby Bump, Offers Final Pregnancy Update

Posted on July 11, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Despite rumors that Jinger Duggar has secretly given birth , it appears that the beloved reality star is very much still pregnant. The mom-to-be offered up some photographic of her current condition on Instagram last night. Check out that little pumpkin! “Almost there! Vuolo #38weeks4days,” she captioned the image. Obviously, Jinger was able to say it all with just a few words (and one awkward hashtag) in this particular case. But she was feeling much more expressive in a recent interview with TLC, the Duggar family’s official network. “I get scared thinking about birth and labor,” she said. Yes, over the years, Jinger has earned her reputation as the most candid and forthcoming Duggar, and she’s cemented her claim to that title in the final weeks of her pregnancy. When Us Weekly caught up with Jinger recently, the 24-year-old revealed that carrying a baby had taken a serious toll on her energy levels: “I do think probably what surprised me most [about pregnancy] is just being so tired all the time,” she revealed. “They’ve said, ‘Just take a nap, don’t feel bad when you need to lay down in the middle of the day.’” She added: “Especially when I was in all the morning sickness, I talked to them a lot about what they did,  “How they got through their morning sickness and I think that was some of the best advice … just resting, taking it easy.” Jinger is regarded as a bit of a rebel in the Duggar clan, so it’s appropriate that her pregnancy hasn’t conformed to her family’s customs. For starters, Jinger and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, broke with convention by waiting almost a year after their wedding to get pregnant. On top of that, Jinger will soon become the first of her sisters to give birth outside of the family’s home state of Arkansas. She and her new husband moved to Laredo, Texas, where Jeremy works as a minister, shortly after getting hitched. In recent weeks, we’ve heard talk that this might not be the soon-to-be-family’s last relocation – or their most drastic for that matter. It’s been rumored that  Jinger and Jeremy will move to Los Angeles  after the baby is born so that he can pursue a divinity school degree. Needless to say, in the event that they follow through on that, Jinger’s pumpkin will be living a much more worldly life than his or her cousins.

Joy-Anna Duggar Faces "Greatest Fear" in This Scary Video

Posted on July 6, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The countdown to a new season of Counting On is… well… on. When this TLC favorite returns with new episodes on July 30, fans will go behind the scenes of Joy-Anna Duggar’s first-ever birth. If you’ll recall, she and husband Austin Forsyth welcomed a very large boy named Gideon into their world in February, just about 39 weeks after they got married. It was a blessed occasion for the newlyweds, of course, who announced the addition to their immediate family as follows: “We are blessed beyond measure with the arrival of our son, Gideon Martyn Forsyth. “Looking at our child for the first time was such an incredible moment! God is so good, and we are both so thankful.” But while this event took place months ago, viewers Counting On will have a chance to relive it in a few weeks. Indeed, Joy-Anna’s frightening labor and birthing experience will be featured on the first new episode of this summer. “As we get closer to the birth I think there’s a lot of emotions, somewhat nervous. A little scared,” Joy-Anna says a sneak peak obtained and published by People Magazine. As is the case for all Duggar women, Joy-Anna had originally planned home birth. However, after being in labor for more than 20 hours, her midwife determined the baby was breech. Hence, the need for an emergency C-Section. That’s a serious surgery. “Seeing my wife in pain, that was probably about the hardest,” Forsyth says in this clip. “Having a C section is my greatest fear,” Joy-Anna says simply. Counting On Sneak Peek: Joy-Anna Duggar Has a C-Section Thankfully, Gideon is a happy and healthy little boy. Duggar has since shared a photo of the child , ignoring all the scandalous chatter over whether she and Austin had a shotgun marriage because she got pregnant while engaged. As for what else fans can expect from new installments of Counting On? – A look at Josiah Duggar’s courtship with Lauren Swanson. – Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell’s honeymoon and subsequent pregnancy announcement. – Jinger (Duggar) Vuolo’s exciting reveal that she’s expecting her first child with husband Jeremy Vuolo. “There’s never a dull moment in our family,” Jessa Seewald has said. And this is true. Love the Duggars or find their lifestyle appalling, this is definitely true. Prepare to actually see the moment this summer when Josiah proposed to his now-wife as well, with Josiah and Lauren Swanson having only just gotten married . “This is definitely the time and she is definitely the one. I’m just hoping I can say everything right,” he says above, before the trailer teases the exact moment when he gets down on one knee. Counting On returns July 30 on TLC.

22 Shows You Can’t Miss This Fall

Posted on June 26, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

With summer programming providing fewer shows than ever to watch on the main networks, it's time to look ahead to the fall.  With a string of new additions that will either be hits or colossal failures and some returning shows that ended their most recent seasons with a bang, the 2018-19 TV season is shaping up to be one filled with a lot of shows to watch.  Have a look at the list below of new and returning shows you cannot miss!   1. A Million Little Things – ABC A Million Little Things looks set to be ABC’s answer to This Is Us. It focuses on a group of friends stuck in a rut, and how the death of someone close to them will change their whole outlook on life. With a cast that includes David Giuntoli, Ron Livingston, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, and Christina Moses, it’s one to watch. Catch it Wednesdays this fall. 2. Last Man Standing – Fox In a surprising turn of events, Fox revived Last Man Standing one year after ABC canceled it. It will air Friday nights. 3. Legacies – The CW Legacies is the highly anticipated sequel to both The Vampire Diaries and The Originals. It takes place in Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and the Gifted. Matt Davis and Danielle Rose Russell will star. It will air Thursdays at 9/8c. 4. All American – The CW All American is new football drama about a teenager who is given a free pass to Beverly Hills High after being scouted for the football team. It sounds like The OC meets Friday Night Lights, and we are so in for it. It will air Wednesdays at 9/8c. 5. New Amsterdam – NBC New Amsterdam is yet another medical drama, but this one is fronted by Ryan Eggold and focuses on the oldest public hospital in the country. It will air Tuesdays in the fall. 6. Murphy Brown – CBS Murphy Brown is returning to the air in the form of a revival. That means much of the original cast will be back. It will join the CBS Thursday comedy block in 2018.

Jimmy Fallon Roasts Donald Trump Mercilessly After Twitter Feud

Posted on June 26, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After Jimmy Fallon tried to walk back some of his 2016 friendliness towards Donald Trump, the POTUS let him have it on Twitter.  Specifically, Trump demanded that Jimmy Fallon “man up” and not apologize for humanizing Trump during a critical election year. Fallon responded by donating to a group working to help immigrants. He also went after Trump in a monologue. Watch! So, Jimmy Fallon expressed regrets for that shameful incident in which he had Donald Trump on as a guest during the 2016 election. At the time, Fallon ruffled Trump's hair as if Trump were just some eccentric reality star and not a clear and present danger to American ideals and freedoms. Trump saw Fallon's regrets and, as he is want to do, flipped out on Twitter. So Jimmy Fallon responded in his monologue. “Before we begin,” Fallon tells his audience. “I just wanna give a shout out to our show’s number one fan — the President of the United States!” Picking up on his intention, the audience applauds — something that you're not likely to hear Trump elicit outside of one of his infamous rallies. Jimmy sets the stage. “As you may have heard last night,” Fallon says, explaining the premise. “The President of the United States went after me on Twitter.” “So Melania, if you're watching, I don't think your anti-bullying campaign is working.” Melania's proposed bullying campaign has been a source of many jokes, even before she shared that it was called “Be Best.” It seems that Melania doesn't really care . “When I saw that Trump insulted me on Twitter,” Fallon explains. “I was gonna tweet back immediately, but I thought, 'I have more important things to do.'” That line, of course, is just a set-up for his punchline. “Then I thought, 'Wait, shouldn't he have more important things to do?!'” Fallon exclaims. “He's the president! What are you doing? Why are you tweeting at me?” Many have lamented that Trump spends so much time on Twitter. But that pales beside his record-breaking time spent golfing. “Crazy,” Fallon says. “The President went after me on Twitter. It's pretty much the only thing I have in common with NFL players.” Trump has, of course, been famously critical of football players who kneel in protest of rampant anti-black violence. “In response,” Fallon says, reiterating what he had already tweeted. “I made a donation in Trump's name to the Refugee And Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services.” RAICES is an organization that many see as the perfect counter to Trump's preference of placing refugees, asylum seekers, and others who cross the border in internment camps. “Or RAICES,” Fallon says, leading up to his next joke. “When Trump heard that, he was like: 'I love RAICES, they're my favorite peanutbutter cup.'” Fallon then proceeds to deliver some mild burns to Trump. “A new poll found that 58 percent of Americans think President Trump is intelligent,” Fallon cites. Sorry if that statistic crushes the final vestiges of anyone's lingering faith in humanity or the American public. Fallon jokes: “In response, Trump was like, 'Ok, what did the other 58 percent say?'” Fallon then moves on to poking fun at Trump's lack of geopolitical savvy. “And today at the White House, Trump met with the King and Queen of Jordan,” Fallon says. “Which got awkward when Trump thanked the King of Jordan for giving us Michael.” That line refers to Michael Jordan, a famous baseball player. Fallon then went on to make quips about Sarah Huckabee Sanders getting asked to leave a restaurant and then about Trump's angry Twitter response that better resembled a Yelp review. Is Jimmy Fallon especially funny? Not in this monologue. (You can enjoy the monologue because of its politics without finding it to be a laugh riot) Should he be forgiven for his hair-ruffling humanization of Donald Trump during such a critical election year? Probably not, but history will be the judge. But it is definitely not appropriate for the President of the United States to use his position to attack comedians. Or restaurants. Or political rivals. Or, you know, people with brown skin. Considering that Trump locked up a couple thousand kids in cages and called for Samantha Bee to be fired , his attack on Fallon was relatively mild. Good for Fallon for using the opportunity to donate to a good cause, though. He deserves credit for that.

ABC has announced the full cast for Bachelor in Paradise Season 5. You remember Bachelor in Paradise, right?  The series that nearly got canceled due to a dangerous mixture of alcohol and sex ? With those assault allegations apparently totally in the past , the network is moving ahead with a new batch of disposed Bachelor and Bachelorette suitors, all looking for love on reality television (at least) one more time. Who has been tabbed to get wasted and have intercourse while pretending to develop real feelings for a potential wife or husband? Find out below! 1. ANGELA She’s a model who was kicked off Nick Viall’s season on the very first night. We know basically nothing about her. 2. ANNALIESE She suffered through Arie’s season of The Bachelor and made it known that she was in a bumper car accident AND got attacked by a dog in her past. 3. ASTRID Remember when she wore just a sports bra on a date with Nick Viall? Granted, they were on a track and field date. Anyway… she’s on the show. 4. BIBIANA That’s her real name, we checked. She nearly made it to the end of Winter Games in a relationship with Jordan, the former Bachelor in New Zealand. 5. CHELSEA She received the first impression rose from Arie… and then it was all downhill from there basically. She was sent packing shortly thereafter. 6. DAVID He was just kicked off Becca’s season after arriving in a chicken suit on the first night. He then fell off of the top bunk and broke his nose. He ended his epic run by being sent home on the two-on-one date. View Slideshow

Jinger Duggar: Has She Secretly Given Birth?!

Posted on June 26, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been over six months since the world learned that Jinger Duggar is pregnant with her first child . The announcement came much later than expected, not only because Jinger broke the Duggar tradition of getting pregnant almost immediately after saying “I do,” but also because she waited until her second trimester to share the news with fans. Now, it looks as though Jeremy and Jinger might be keeping yet another big secret from their adoring public. Jeremy posted the above photo to his Instagram account today, and fans are convinced it’s his way of hinting that Jinger is knocked up. It’s a bit of a stretch, but the theory goes something like this: As you can see, that’s the most recent photo of Jinger’s baby bump. She usually posts just about every day, but this pic is several days old. So Jeremy posted a slightly outdated image, along with a caption reading simply, “ETA: Soon.” Again, hardly a definitive announcement, but we suppose it’s not hard to see why some fans have jumped to conclusions. “Is she in labor?!” one fan asked point-blank. “Hope she’s in labor and has a smooth delivery!” another remarked. Several fans cut right to the chase and commented simply, “Congrats!” The Vuolos have yet to respond. And that’s interesting, as many fans think this is a case in which their silence speaks volumes. But even more interesting is the fact that Jeremy’s pic launched an intense conversation about the sinfulness of iWatches. Yes, iWatches. Apparently, two of Jeremy’s nuttier followers believe the popular Apple device is the work of the devil, and since Jinger is wearing one in the pic, they figured this would be the perfect time to share that opinion. “You can’t evolve and love thy God … I don’t believe in it. Didn’t evolve from a money or ape and I hope Jinger isn’t evolving either that would be so sad,” wrote Nutjob 1. “iWatch makes sin automatic. Same with the Apple phones,” Nutjob 2 replied, adding: “Pornographers is up 689% since 2007 when Aphone came out. iWatch is going to double that with all the porn on the watch. Men are easily led to lust and women too.” “I would be so sad if she evolved to an ape with an iPhone watch,” sayeth the first nutjob. “In the semen that my Pasture gave today he spoke of the devil that resides in them there iWatches. Just to easy to sin with those things on,” responded her nutty friend. “People getting send pornography on them. Using Siri to satisfy burgers and also losing sight of the lord and focusing too much on time,” the best conversation in the history of the world concluded. You heard the nutjobs! Listen to the semen and stop using Siri to satisfy your burgers! We’ll keep you posted on any and all #BabyVuolo updates, so stop watching your watch porn and pay attention! In the meantime, watch Counting On online so you can stay up to date on what technology is most sinful. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar: Secrets & Scandals of the Family Rebel!
