When the Duggars rose to fame in the early 2000s, audiences were drawn to their reality shows primarily because Jim Bob and Michelle had already sired a massive brood, and they seemed to have no plans to put the breeding on hold anytime soon. As time went on, however, viewers realized that their fertility was not the most unusual thing about the Duggars. Instead, it was the family's bonkers belief system that made for such compelling viewing. From courtship rules to insanely strict dress codes, the Duggars controlled every aspect of their kids' lives, and it was only a matter of time before said offspring started to rebel. Take a look: 1. Josiah Can’t Be Tamed First, there’s Josiah Duggar. Sure, he recently settled down and got married, but we’re guessing his days as the main cause of Jim Bob’s migraines are far from over. 2. Heartbreaker Josiah is unique among his siblings in that he was involved in a different courtship BEFORE he met his wife. 3. The Mystery Deepens There’s still no word on what caused Josiah and Marjorie to call off their courtship — a move that’s almost unprecedented in Duggar Land. Scandalous! 4. Still Rebelling After his relationship with Marjorie ended, Josiah continued to maintain an Instagram account in direct defiance of his parents’ rules. 5. What Courtship Rules? He and Lauren Swanson also held hands, front-hugged and went on un-chaperoned dates before they were married. Someone arrest this man! 6. Four Can Play at That Game! But no one tossed the courtship rules right out the window quite like John David Duggar and his fiance Abbie Burnett. View Slideshow
It looks like those reports that Khloe Kardashian is afraid Tristan will cheat again are true. She hasn’t admitted any such fear, but actions speak louder than words. Khloe has flown out to Cleveland so she can watch Tristan like a hawk, when he’s on and off the court. Entertainment Tonight reports that Khloe is keeping a watchful eye on Tristan. The report sayst hat Khloe “flew back to Cleveland to be with Tristan.” “And,” the insider says, Khloe “even supported him at his basketball game.” That’s not just a rumor — she was spotted in the stands, ostensibly cheering him on. “Khloe and Tristan are still working on things,” the source admits. “But,” the insider says. “know whatever they decide to do moving forward, it will be whatever is best for their daughter, True.” “Khloe isn’t certain how long she will be in Cleveland,” the source admits. So you can breathe a sigh of relief — she hasn’t resigned herself to living out her life in Ohio. Yet . “And,” the insider continues, Khloe “may fly back for her mom, Kris [Jenner’s], birthday next week.” Khloe has thought about this, the source says, “but isn’t sure.” “A lot is dependent on how things go with her and Tristan,” the insider explains. Just last week, Kris spoke about her daughter’s possible plans to move to Cleveland. Kris says that, for now, it’s a “maybe.” In the mean time, Entertainment Tonight reports that Khloe isn’t openly acknowledging suspicions that Tristan might cheat again. “While those closest to her have discussed the chance Tristan is cheating again,” an insider says. “Khloe just laughs it off.” According to the source: “[She] says, ‘Those people are crazy.'” “Khloe comes from a big family,” the insider explains. “And she is not going to ruin that fantasy of building a life with the man she loves.” If he is once again straying, she might be left with nothing but fantasy. “It’s not even a conversation,” the source adds. “She won’t talk about it with anyone.” It’s never a good sign when someone won’t discuss a very real risk. “Her sisters and friends, of course, have brought it up,” the insider continues. “Because they truly worry history will repeat itself.” Khloe’s fans worry about that, too. “And,” the source notes. “She could end up devastated like she did with Lamar [Odom].” Gosh, Khloe really hasn’t had the best luck with men, has she? “But for now,” the insider grimly acknowledges. “She is standing by her man.” There is a point at which blindly supporting your partner stops being loyalty and starts being self-destructive. “Everyone who tries to bring it up with her,” the source says. “The response is always that she loves him and, ‘We are all good.'” At the end of the day, Khloe Kardashian is the one who decides whether she’ll once again uproot her entire life to be with Tristan. Maybe she’ll leave her family behind and take her chances that he won’t cheat again. It may be her choice, but she won’t be the only one impacted if she’s wrong. Last April, when Tristan’s cheating scandal broke, True had not even been born. Now, however, she’s had time to bond with both of her parents and see them as a couple. She should even be talking very soon. If Khloe moves in with Tristan only to break up in a few months after he cheats again, True will have to experience that breakup. Has Tristan really changed his ways? That’s what Khloe is trying to figure out. View Slideshow: Tristan Thompson: CAUGHT with Two New Women!
It’s been three months since Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that nearly claimed her life. After spending over a week in the hospital detoxing and recovering from the physical damage she had endured, Demi relocated to a treatment facility in Arizona. Lovato isn’t taking any chances this around, spending most of her time in Arizona, but also taking regular trips to Chicago, where she consults with the team of specialists who helped her get sober the first time around. ( Lovato celebrated six years of sobriety just prior to her most recent relapse.) While the process is reportedly going as well as can be expected, those who know the singer best say she’ll be remaining in treatment for quite some time, just to be safe. In fact, fans shouldn’t expect to see Demi making any public appearances prior to 2019. “Demi is taking her sobriety extremely serious, and knows she has a long road ahead of her,” a source close to the situation tells Entertainment Tonight. “At the end of the day, Demi is doing this for herself. “She has to stay sober for her, but every time she has family or friends visit her it reminds her of all the other important people in her life that she needs to fight for as well.” On Maria Menounos’ podcast this week Lovato’s mother, Dianna De La Garza, revealed that Demi is 90 days sober and fully committed to the lifelong work of recovery. “I couldn’t be more thankful or more proud of her because addiction being a disease, it’s work,” she said of Lovato’s road to recovery. “It’s not easy. There are no shortcuts.” Insiders say Lovato looks back on her sober years as the happiest time of her life, and she’s determined to get back there. “Demi is thankful she’s still alive and is doing whatever she can to never get to that point again,” says one source. It certainly won’t be easy, but it sounds like Demi is very much up to the task. We wish her all the best as she continues in her recovery process.

Readers may want to take the following article with a grain of salt the size of Kim Kardashian’s boobs. And speaking of those large boobs: They are reportedly on display in front of a very lucky and unorthodox psychologist! According to an article in something called Heat World, which sources allege is a magazine in Great Britain, Kim and Kanye West are in couples therapy these days. Such a claim is not new. We actually wrote that Kimye was in an extreme version of counseling way back in early 2017. But there is something new in Heat World’s report, and that something is this: Neither Kim nor Kanye is wearing any clothing during these alleged therapy sessions. They are stone cold naked. “It was Kim’s idea,” an insider explains to Heat of talking openly about their issues while sitting in their birthday suits. Adds this insider: “She made the point that they’ve always communicated better when their clothes are off… “As ridiculous as it sounds, they both agree that being naked loosens their inhibitions and puts them on the same level.” For years, of course, we’re shared photos of Kim Kardashian nude . But it’s one thing to be nude for a magazine spread; it’s a very different thing to be nude while discussing serious marital issues with a therapist. “Most people would have laughed her out of the room, but Kanye agreed to give it a try, especially now he’s lost a bit of weight and is more in tune with his body,” the source hilariously adds, prior to detailing exactly how these sessions go: “[They’re] letting it all hang out while they go through the events of the week and where they’re at relationship-wise.” And the therapist is just cool with this? Yes! Apparently! If you choose to believe this report for some reason! “[They figure] that if it helps Kim and Kanye express themselves, then why not?” There has been a lot of talk of late that Kim is once again thinking of leaving her husband. Multiple outlets have written that she’s sick of his MAGA-loving ways and prepared to divorce Kanye if he doesn’t shut up or change his misguided views. However, speaking to Van Jones this week on a podcast, Kim stood up for West and sounded like a woman who had no plans to be single any time soon. “He’s put himself up against the world for me when everyone told him, ‘You cannot date a girl with a sex tape. You cannot date a reality show girl. This is going to ruin your career.’ Everyone told him that,’” Kardashian said, adding in this interview: “To me, he was like, ‘Oh, you’re not going to tell me what to do. I’ll let you know that it’s going to be okay.’ And he always was that strength for me. “I’ll always love and appreciate him for always standing up for me.” View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Reveals What Kanye Paid Her $1 Million NOT to Do
Justin Bieber is sporting a scary new haircut — just in time for Halloween! That’s right — he’s no longer sporting that long, dirty blond hair. Instead, he’s shaved his head. The results are, honestly, a little jarring. We hope Justin’s wife likes it. Take a look: Like we said, this boy went and shaved off all of his hair. Justin shared this selfie to his Instagram Stories. We don’t know what brought this on — perhaps some impulse. We also don’t know why he distorted the image from the selfie so heavily. (Are clearly visible photos boring, now?) It’s a pretty radical change from how his hair has looked earlier this year. In fact, back in May, Justin gleefully showed off his hair. “Long hair don’t care,” he told his followers on Instagram. “And my stash is gorgeous.” He meant to write “stache,” but we’ve all made typos, especially on social media. While his creepy mustache made him look like someone you’d cross the street to avoid, his hair could have looked nice. “I’m going to grow my hair down to my toes,” Justin wrote at one point on Instagram. It seems that his plans have changed. Justin didn’t really seem to do anything to style his hair. (Some openly wondered if he even showered on a daily basis, because his hair often looked … not so good) While women — especially celebrity women — are often expected to maintain their appearance, men are often given a free pass. Justin may find long hair to be a pain to maintain. He clearly didn’t want to put in the work. Since he’s already a celebrity — and he’s married — maybe he decided that looking good isn’t worth the effort. We guess that he can just rely upon his torso to catch people’s attention instead of his hair. Oh, wait, Justin plastered his torso with 100 hours of tattoos . Well, he still has a good shape. And, like we said, maybe he truly stopped caring about his looks because he’s married. That’s a shame, because Hailey is a model and you know that she’s going to keep putting effort into her own appearance — including her hair. This is probably just a taste of the impulsive decisions that Hailey is going to have to grin and bear. Just a few weeks ago, Justin and Hailey stopped by a salon and got their hair trimmed together. We guess that Justin isn’t up for repeating that experience. This is not the first time that he’s shocked fans by mowing off his mane. Back in 2016, Justin shaved his head. At the time, he had turned his then-platinum hair into controversial dreadlocks. (Some celebrities are so far in the bubble that they’ve never heard of cultural appropriation) Sometimes, celebrities find it freeing to cut their hair dramatically. Those stars are usually women, who are told by managers and by media that their hair needs to be styled in certain ways. We’re not sure that Justin was carrying out some grand act of rebellion. But at the end of the day, it’s his hair and hsi body and he can do whatever he likes to it. That said, you can still have an opinion about his new look. Some people will even like it. And regardless, some people are always going to love the Biebs. View Slideshow: Justin Bieber: All His Sexual Conquests, RANKED!
Mom-shamers like to slam Kim Kardashian for posing nude , but she poses with a purpose, and usually with a professional photographer. Tragically, Kim’s photographer, Marcus Hyde, has been in a truly horrific car accident. Kim shared the news and is asking fans to pray for his recovery. On Tuesday, Kim Kardashian tweeted out the news about Marcus Hyde’s terrible accident. “Please pray for my friend @MarcusHyde,” Kim tweeted. She also included an image, appearing to show the two of them, with words imposed over it. “I’m trying to find the perfect picture but I don’t want to share them,” Kim writes. Kim explains her reluctance: “We were saving these for our book.” Clearly, she doesn’t want to signal that there’s no hope by sharing the photo. She’d rather believe he’ll recover. Her comments go on, now directly addressing Marcus. “Angels are surrounding you,” Kim writes. She continues: “I’m praying so hard for you.” “Please be ok,” she begs. Kim’s message concludes: “Please come back @marcushyde.” This is truly heartbreaking. Marcus Hyde is a photographer known for his work with tasteful, artistic nudity. He is especially famous for his work with Kim Kardashian and her sisters, including Khloe and Kendall. TMZ reports that Marcus’ terrible accident took place Monday morning, October 29. He was on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu when he apparently lost control of his vehicle. Marcus went over an embankment. From the looks of things, the Mercedes AMG CLS that he was driving has been totaled. He himself was airlifted to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. He had a female passenger in the vehicle at the time. TMZ reports that, per their sources, this unidentified woman was also hospitalized. We don’t know Marcus’ exact condition — but he reportedly suffered a critical head injury. Sources also say that Marcus Hyde was suffering seizures as a result of the crash and the head injury. That is devastatingly serious. Marcus has traveled the globe with Kim and with Kanye. He has been the man behind the camera for some of her most famous photos. He was also the photographer for the Kardashian (and Jenner) Calvin Klein photos late last year. This man’s artistic vision has been a part of Kim’s brand for a long time. Kim is clearly reeling from this news. It’s no wonder that she’s asking fans for prayers. As we mentioned, the fact that she’s unwilling to release photos of the two of them means that she’s clinging to hope. She wants Marcus to survive, recover, and then release that book with her. If she were to release a photo now, it would feel like she was giving up on him. We absolutely understand the way that she is thinking. We here at THG sincerely hope that Marcus Hyde and his passenger make a full and speedy recovery from this horrific ordeal. We also hope that his friends and loved ones — Kim included — can find comfort and hope while they wait for news. View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Goes Nude, Gets Candid About Sex
In a reality TV franchise famous for shining a spotlight on some atrociously unfit fathers, Tyler Baltierra has been a welcome change of pace for over a decade. Catelynn Lowell's husband has long been a favorite of Teen Mom OG fans, particularly after they witnessed the way he supported his wife during her struggles with PTSD. And Tyler's strength in the face of such difficulties is all the more impressive due to the considerable traumas he's suffered himself — traumas that he opened up about in a surprisingly candid interview . Take a look: 1. The Face of Courage Throughout his time on Teen Mom OG, Tyler has been admirably forthcoming about his painful past. 2. Tough Times While Tyler has never blamed his parents for his present difficulties, he’s been open about the fact that he grew up in an unstable household and has carried his childhood scars into adulthood. 3. A Supporting Role Of course, Tyler’s struggles often receive less attention from TMOG fans and producers than those of his wife, Catelynn Lowell. 4. The Strong, Silent Type And that’s probably quite alright by Tyler, who generally seems to put his family ahead of himself. 5. Opening Up But while he doesn’t thirst for attention like so many reality stars, Tyler also doesn’t shy away from sharing the most intimate and painful details of his life. 6. Moral Duty “I feel, with my platform, I have a moral obligation to help people,” Tyler once remarked, and in talking about the pain of his childhood sexual traumas, he’s attempting to do exactly that.

As previously reported, Kylie Jenner is a billionaire . And while this may seem nauseating to some, perhaps you can take comfort in the fact that the young businesswoman is at least spending her money wisely. She isn't spending an insane amount of money on extravagant gifts for people who don't need it or anything. Wait… what? That's exactly what she is doing? Oh. In the video featured here, we see Kylie surprise mother Kris jenner (who doesn't turn 63 years old until November 5) with what is apparently her dream car. That would be a 488 Gran Turismo Berlinetta red Ferrari — which retails for $250,000. But what's the point in surprising someone if you can't get credit for it with the public, right? “I’m on my way to my mom’s house to surprise her with her birthday gift,” Kylie says in this footage, which she filmed. “I’ve had this for the last month and I’m so excited to finally be giving it to her. It’s a little dark outside so I hope that you could see it good.” We then cut to Kris and boyfriend Corey Gamble, the former of whom is in her pajamas and who does a decent job of acting as if she really had no clue this was coming. ”What? What is that? Are you kidding me?” Kris gasps. “That’s from you? Oh my god. Oh my god!” After hugging her 21-year-old daughter and wiping back tears, Kris sit into the fancy sports car, joking that if she had known Kylie was coming over, she “would have dressed cuter.” Good one, Kris! “What is going on?” she asks. “I don’t even know what to do. How do I even start it?” (Sounds like Kris is a true car expert and totally deserving of this vehicle.) Kylie then took a series of pictures of the car, labelling one “488 For The Queen.” Kylie herself was presented with a $320,000 Ferrari 482 Italia by ex-boyfriend Tyga for her 18th birthday… and a $189,000 Mercedes-Benz Maybach for her 19th birthday. Check out Kris reacting to her daughter's ridiculous present now!
Following the revelation that Jenelle Evans was hospitalized after a fight with David Eason, the Teen Mom 2 star has spent much of the past few weeks defending her husband against assault allegations. Evans' efforts to convince her social media followers that Eason is a stand-up guy have grown increasingly desperate, and the more we learn about her home life, the more troubling the situation becomes. Take a look: 1. Repairing His Reputation In the weeks since Jenelle’s hospitalization, she’s been working overtime to demonstrate to her Instagram followers that her family is happier than ever. 2. Not Buying It Unfortunately for Jenelle, TM2 fans aren’t buying it, primarily because of the ever-growing mountain of evidence to the contrary. 3. The Injury Fans first became suspicious when Jenelle was rushed to an area hospital late at night without explanation. 4. The Call Their suspicions were confirmed when a recording of Jenelle’s 911 call was released. 5. The Proof In the recording, a tearful Jenelle can be heard describing the injuries she suffered as a result of her encounter with an intoxicated Eason. 6. Horrifying Jenelle says that Eason became “aggressive because he’s been drinking” and pinned her to the floor so hard she thought he had broken her collarbone. View Slideshow
Earlier this year, 90 Day Fiance stars Azan Tefou and Nicole Nafziger canceled their wedding . But that doesn’t mean that they’ve ended their relationship. And now Nicole has revealed their plans for the future. How many (more) kids do they plan to have? Nicole and Azan are still trying to make their long-distance relationship work. But that hasn’t stopped them from planning for their future as a married couple. Recently, Nicole took to Instagram and answered fan questions. “How many kids do you and Azan planning on having?” a fan asked. “We want to add two more to our family!,” Nicole replied. “So 3 including May.” She followed that answer with a red heart emoji. (The fan wrote “Hassan,” a fairly popular name, rather than “Azan,” which was a simple accident) Nicole already has a daughter from her previous relationship. May is adorable and Nicole has said that she had no relationship with her baby daddy. That baby daddy’s identity remains shrouded in mystery, and it sounds like Nicole is just fine with that. In fact, Azan is the only father figure that May knows. Nicole has even received backlash for having May call him “daddy.” It is true that Azan lives something like 4,000 miles away. But May has seen Azan in Morocco. It appears that the two have really bonded. It’s understandable for fans to be uncertain about whether Nicole and Azan can make it work. Some objected to her calling him “daddy” simply because he is not her biological father. That, of course, is toxic. Plenty of adopted children call their parents or step-parents “mom” or “dad.” Calling a parent by nicknames like that is normal and healthy. Some fan reservations arise from Nicole and Azan’s struggles to make it work. As we mentioned, they had plans to marry in June. Ultimately, they decided that an expensive Moroccan wedding was not the most responsible use of money. Instead, Nicole invested the money that she saved up while working at Starbucks … by giving it to Azan. Azan is going to invest that money in a storefront in order to open up a beauty shop in his hometown. The hope is that this will give them financial security in the future. It has been months since they reached this decision. Since then, Nicole had to return to the United States. Azan remains in Morocco. There has not yet been any word about when this beauty shop of his will open. That doesn’t mean that it’s not happening, of course. We’re not intimiately familiar with the timetable for opening a business in Morocco. Hopefully, Azan is. Some fans have concerns that Nicole is being conned. That seems unfair. If that were the case, surely Azan would have ghosted her by now. (And it’s hard to imagine that he would have been willing to go on reality television if he’s just a con artist) Also, Nicole isn’t rich — she’s a barista and a single mom. A more realistic fear, we suppose, would be that they’ll break up and she’ll have lost all of that money. We hope that all of her hard work doesn’t go to waste. For her sake and for May’s.
