Since late August, Josh Duggar has been living in a rehab center in northern Illinois. According to previous patients, the facility – operated by a faith-based organization called Reformers Unanimous – is less like a traditional rehab center and more like a Christian work camp where men like Josh put in ten-hour days of hard labor. That may be why insiders are now saying Josh intends to leave rehab a full three months ahead of schedule. That may also be why, according to Radar Online, the Duggar family recently paid Josh a low-key, late-night visit, even though they’d initially planned on keeping their distance for the duration of his “treatment.” Josh was dropped off at the facility in his younger brother John David’s private plane. Radar is now reporting that the first time since dropping his brother off in August, John David’s plane has once again made a trip to the Great Lakes area, this time landing at Mitchell Airport in Milwaukee, less then 100 miles from Josh’s rehab facility. We have no way of knowing what other family members joined John David on the trip, but it seems clear that the Duggars paid Josh an impromptu visit. Now, the question is – why? Has Josh already bailed on the program and his family rushed to get him home with as little media attention as possible? Or was this a last-minute effort to convince Josh to finish his course of treatment? Either way,
It’s been one month since YouTube star Caleb Logan passed away at the age of 13, and new details about the beloved web personality’s death are still emerging. Caleb and his family, who are known as the Bratayleys online, have cultivated a large following thanks to their DIY reality webseries, but they’ve attracted more attention than ever in the weeks since Caleb’s passing. Caleb Logan’s final video – filmed just days before his death – has now been viewed over 6 million times. Much of the interest, of course, centers around curiosity as to what could have caused a seemingly healthy adolescent to pass away so tragically young. The family has issued several statements Caleb’s cause of death . They initially claimed that he died of “natural causes,” but later clarified that he had been suffering from an untreated and undiagnosed condition: “Caleb’s death has raised many questions about how and why this could happen to a seemingly healthy boy,” Logan’s loved ones wrote on Instagram. “Sadly, tests have confirmed today that Caleb passed away from an undetected medical condition. The family promised “more definitive answers” in the weeks to come, and today, a medical report revealed that Caleb had been suffering from a condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Doctors say the condition almost always goes undetected, and is entirely untreatable. Medical experts tell TMZ that even if Caleb’s family had been made aware of his condition, there is likely nothing they could have done to prevent his passing.

In the eyes of the law, Kylie Jenner might be an adult. However, she’s still a teenager and when teenagers don’t get their way – especially in matters of the heart – they are prone to sh*t fits. According to Celebrity Dirty Laundry , Jenner wants her boyfriend of one year, Tyga in the annual Kardashian Christmas card. If her family refuses? Jenner will choose to sit this year out. In this tale, Kim Kardashian puts her foot down, citing the obvious fact that while Tyga may feel like family, he is not and they are just dating. Adding to this is a report that Rob Kardashian is demanding $250,000 to appear in the family photo. The sole Kardashian boy is allegedly working on his fitness and won’t give Kris Jenner a yes or no until the last moment. If this report is true, I must take my hat off to Kim for being the voice of reason. Who in their right mind would allow a teenager’s boyfriend or girlfriend to appear in a family Christmas photo? I don’t care how lovely he or she is, or how well he or she treats your sainted child. Christmas photos should be family only. If you’ve got a baby daddy/baby mama involved, throw them in, too. Happy Holidays, Kylie. You may invite Tyga over to the house after Christmas dinner. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner and Tyga Photos: Kyga 4-Eva?
Oprah Winfrey has validated the Kardashians . Winfrey, like many of us, is all about hard work and sacrifice in order to reach your goals (also, THE SECRET). Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O rang up Oprah for a bit of a chat, and they brought up Rebel Wilson ‘s recent comments about the Kardashians having no talent. Wilson claimed that she earned her fame the hard way, and the Kardashians owe their success to a sex tap. “It’s not that I hate any of them individually, but it’s just that everything they stand for is against everything I stand for,” Wilson explained. “And they’re not famous for talent. I worked really hard to get where I’ve gotten to.” Not true, according to Winfrey. “People don’t understand that, people think, ‘Oh, if a television camera’s just following you, then that’s just easy,'” Winfrey, who interviewed the family two years ago, said. “To really create a reality series that looks like something’s actually happening, it means you have to be on all the time.” Winfrey noted that after a full seven hours of taping interviews, they still had another 7 hours of filming to do for Keeping Up With The Kardashians . “No matter who you are, that is work,” Winfrey said.

Prepare to shed all the tears, Hollywood Gossip readers. All thanks to an 18-year-old named Jake Bailey. A week before the senior high school student was scheduled to give a speech at his graduation in New Zealand, he was diagnosed with Burkitt's non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a fast-growing form of cancer. Despite this grim prognosis, however, the Senior Monitor (equivalent to Class President in America) left his hospital bed, climbed into his wheelchair and delivered words of moving wisdom to teacher and classmates at Christchurch Boy's High School assembly. “I wrote a speech, and a week before I was due to deliver this speech tonight they said, 'You've got cancer,' ” he said from a wheelchair, continuing: “They said, 'If you don't get any treatment within the next three weeks, you're going to die.' Then they told me I wouldn't be here tonight to deliver this speech.” Principal Nic Hill was prepared to give Bailey’s speech on the teenager’s behalf, but it turned out this wasn’t necessary. “Here's the thing, none of us get out of life alive, so be gallant, be great, be gracious and be grateful for the opportunities you have,” Bailey said. “We don't know where we might end up, or when we might end up. “The future is truly in our hands. Forget about long term dreams, lets be passionately dedicated to the pursuit of short term goals.” These would be inspiring words coming from anyone, let alone coming from a brave young man basically on his deathbed. The senior finished his speech with the school's motto, “Altiora Peto,” which translates to “I seek higher things.” Watch now. Prepare to cry. And be amazed at how those in attendance pay tribute to Bailey upon completition of his speech. God bless you, Jake Bailey.
The very foundation of a royal marriage – nay – any marriage is built on the time spent together between man and wife. So how the devil are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge expected to keep their union strong if Her Majesty keeps filling up their calendar! RUDE. JK JK, this story is a bunch of crap; OK! has it on made up good authority that the Queen “has approved more romantic dates” for William and Catherine. WAIT! Her Majesty isn’t just going to hand over permission for alone time without demanding something in return. Do you think Ursula just gave Ariel human legs? The Queen wants William to take over the couple’s public speaking duties, since Catherine sucks at giving speeches. Her Royal Highness “hasn’t quite mastered the confidence necessary to properly represent the royals when speaking in public.” View Slideshow: 21 Royally Hot Kate Middleton Bikini Photos The Cambridges are so excited about their court-approved date nights that they’re planning a vacation to Mustique in late November! “[Kate and Wills] are determined to keep the romance alive and put their love first,” a source told the magazine, according to Celebrity Dirty Laundry. The story also alleges that the Queen can’t stand Carole Middleton and wants her kept away from Prince George and Princess Charlotte (“there are plenty of nannies to help care” for them), and is popping antacid over news about Prince Harry ‘s forthcoming love child . Hokay, so even without speaking to any source from Buckingham Palace or Kensington Palace, I can say with full confidence that this story is something out of a poorly-written Hallmark movie. First of all, William has made it crystal clear with palace courtiers and his family alike that no one, but no one, is to meddle in his private affairs. Following the untimely death of his mother, the Princess of Wales , those in his inner circle have obeyed the Duke’s requests. It’s been well documented that the Queen gives her grandson the amount of space he needs in order to build a successful marriage with Catherine. In 2012 William told biographer Robert Hardman that Her Majesty told him to forget whatever wedding invite list aides had drawn up (full of stuffy royal relatives and the like), start from scratch and invite his and Catherine’s friends first. Secondly, if there are any “fractures” in the royal marriage, then let’s take a look at William and Catherine’s body language at engagements. A friend of mine commented that they had “eye sex” during every engagement of their 2013 royal tour of New Zealand. As someone who’s made a living studying the British royal family, I am finding it very, very difficult to believe any of the quotes pulled from this story. The Cambridges may have spent a “romantic” minibreak in Dundee, Scotland, but they also had a day of events there on October 23rd. And with their alma mater, St. Andrews University about an hour away, it’s very likely they spent the night. Kate Middleton, Beyonce Meet-and-Greet As far as a vacation to Mustique, that’s not likely to happen until January or February; for the past few years Catherine has joined her family on the island for a private holiday. No tropical vacations are believed to take place from now until the end of the year, since the royal diary is always jam-packed through the holidays. The quote about “plenty of nannies” being able to care for George and Charlotte is false because they have one nanny, Maria Borrallo , who graduated from the prestigious Norland College. As for Carole, what the Queen thinks of Catherine’s mom is anyone’s guess. The Middletons have been included in everything from the planning of the royal wedding to Christmas Day church service, so if the Queen is not in love with Carole, she’s not showing it. To summarize, the Queen is almost 90, and upon her death, Prince Charles becomes sovereign. All of these facts mean that William and Catherine will need to take on more royal responsibilities, leaving them with less time to lead a more private, normal life that they prefer. This is likely where OK! started sniffing around for some sort of a “scoop.” View Slideshow: 16 Times Prince Harry Made Us Royally Swoon

Hit the flip for more photos of Halle and Nahla from earlier this week. FameFlynetPictures/AKM-GSI
It wasn't enough, apparently, for Kris Jenner to be feted by her family members and friends in the tradition of The Great Gatsby on Friday night. No, it wasn't nearly enough. On top of gathering for that aforementioned event, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner also came together to record a music video in honor of their 60-year old parent. For real. The footage is a parody of a 1985 recording Jenner actually made for her 30th birthday, in which she sang “I Love My Friends” to the tune of Randy Newman’s 1983 song “I Love L.A.” This version followed the original and featured the five women in a recording studio singing “You Love Your Friends.” The nearly eight-minute long video – which Kim shared on her YouTube page – also features cameos from Justin Bieber … Venus Williams…. Serena Williams… and the sight of Caitlyn Jenner toasting her ex-wife. In a bathtub. “It was very funny and and campy and had funny lyrics about how much Kris loves her friends,” a source told Us Weekly. “The girls would sing the verses and in between each verse it would cut to a video of someone from one of Kris’ favorite places or people singing, ‘You love your friends.'” Those scenes with friends include shots of Kris with Oprah and Kris with Kyle Richards of Bravo fame. It's a sweet gesture, this video, while also being a gesture that's easy to mock. “Mom, I’m going to give this Emmy to you because you were the one who started it all,” Kim says at one point. So, yes, in case there was any doubt, we can blame Kris Jenner for starting this whole thing, inundating society with naked images of her loved ones at all tme. Check out the birthday tribute now:
This (not really) just in: Scott Disick really sucks. In the following sneak peek from Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 , Kourtney Kardashian is waiting up for her three-time baby daddy, not sure what to do about his partying ways. “Is Scott okay?” Kris Jenner asks her daughter, as Kourtney looks down at her phone while Kim Kardashian silently rolls her eyes while lying next to her mom. “Mmm, I don't know . . . ” Kourtney says in return. “I mean, this is what he wants to be doing. So, there's nothing I can do at this point, you know? That's life.” It's life when your long-time boyfriend puts drinking and going out with friends above his kids, yeah. But it really need not be life, Kourtney. There are plenty of fish in the sea, in case you haven't heard that before. Kourtney – who shares three children, Mason, 5, Penelope, 3, and Reign, 10 months, with her now-ex – seems calm yet irritated about the situation. From there, Kris jumps into the conversation to give her daughter some words of wisdom: “You have the weight of the world on your shoulders, because you're like a single mom. You know what I mean? But it's the single mom waiting for her partner to come home.” Kourtney says all she cares about in the end is her kids, which explains why did she eventually break up with Disick.
