It’s been two months since we learned that Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant with her first child , and the controversy surrounding her conception date rages on. In case you missed it, allow us to bring you up to speed on the latest goings-on within Joy-Anna’s uterus: Joy-Anna married Austin Forsyth back in May. Three months later, she announced that she was three months pregnant. According to the Duggars, Joy-Anna conceived on her honeymoon, but some fans aren’t buying into that version of events. Perhaps it was the fact that she was already sporting quite a sizable baby bump in her announcement photo. Or maybe it has something to do with the time Joy and Austin confessed to breaking courtship rules . Whatever the reason, Duggar obsessives are convinced that Joy got married in a ” shotgun wedding “–and her latest pic isn’t helping her case: It’s Joy’s birthday this week, and to celebrate, Austin posted the above photo, along with a caption in which he gushed about his expectant wife: “Happy birthday to the love of my life! Besides my salvation, you have been the best thing that has happened in my life! “From being my spiritual encourager, working partner, hunting buddy, and everything in between you complete me in so many ways! I am always amazed at how much integrity and character you display in our day to day lives! I love you with all my heart!” So what’s so suspicious about Austin’s fairly straightforward birthday post? Well, some fans believe the way pic is frame is an indication that the couple has something to hide. The Duggars typically celebrate pregnancy even more than most families. Baby bump progression is usually meticulously documented and posted on social media for all the world to see. So a poorly-lit tight closeup of a face is an unusual way to celebrate a Duggar woman’s pregnancy. Is it definitive evidence that Joy-Anna and Austin engaged in premarital sex? Obviously not, but we’ll probably never get that. So you can expect fans to continue latching onto every shred of possible evidence.

Divorce is complicated. It might be the best marital decision that some people will make in their entire lives, but it’s also massively stressful. Oh … and it can be an incredibly expensive process. Mel B is getting divorced , and it looks like she’s trying to recoup her expenses … by demanding a $400,000 raise at America’s Got Talent . Mel B’s divorce from Stephen Belafonte has been a long time coming. Back in 2014, fans noticed signs of abuse on Mel B . At the time, she was very defensive of her husband. As the world is all too aware, this is a common response from people who are being abused. However, since Mel B and Stephen Belafonte announced their divorce in March of 2017, the TV personality and Spice Girl has come forward. Mel B now alleges that Stephen Belafonte abused her during their marriage, and even blackmailed her with a sex tape . (In fact, Mel B says that she can prove that the blackmail tapes exist ) Further details came out, including allegations that Stephen Belafonte brought the couple’s nanny into their relationship … for seven years. There’s a whole lot to that, including conflicting accounts of what was going on with the nanny. We’re just glad that Mel B is getting out of that toxic marriage. But, like we said, as wonderful as divorce can be in terms of being a step towards improving a person’s life, it can also be super expensive. There’s more to it than dividing assets and paying lawyers, by the way. Reportedly, Mel B is reluctant to pay Stephen Belafonte spousal support. Stephen Belafonte — who has a job of his own, by the way — was apparently asking for $4,300 per month to spend on basic necessities. $4,300 a month would be a normal amount for, say, a person’s salary. Whose grocery bills look like that, though? We’d say that the average person probably spends less than $1000 per month on groceries, right? Even if you’re ordering delivery for most of your meals, you’re not going to rack up $4,300 in a single month. And we did the math — if he’s spending $4,300 a month on groceries, he’s spending upwards of $140 per day. Maybe Stephen Belafonte is three-to-four grown men in a trench coat? Point is, every bit of this — Belafonte’s demands, Mel B fighting them in court, and the division of their shared property — amounts to a lot of expenses, even for a rich person. It’s worth noting that Stephen Belafonte is accused of having blown through $30 million of Mel B’s fortune while controlling all of her financial decisions and assets during their marriage. According to The Sunday People , which is a British tabloid newspaper and only sounds like the name of a horror film, Mel B is demanding a raise at America’s Got Talent . America’s Got Talent is a talent competition that, based upon its title, is designed to frustrate people who are enthusiastic about the English language. (Why not simply America HAS Talent ? It’s so much simpler and doesn’t make anyone’s eye twitch) Back in 2013, Mel B joined the panel of judges during the show’s eighth season. (Yeah, these shows go on forever) Well, Mel B’s reported request for a raise is to the tune of $400,000, which would bring her total salary to $2.2 million. According to The Sunday People ‘s source, “Mel feels that she is in a very strong position to wrangle a pay rise from Simon.” (Simon being Simon Cowell, who runs things as well as judging. And “pay rise” is just British nonsense for a pay raise ) “She was an integral part of the show’s success, with so much being written about her life and then talked about after the broadcasts.” That sounds fairly accurate. “Not only did her talent pick win the series, but she and Simon dominated the show’s dramatic moments.” That is also true. (You might remember Mel B’s on-air spat with Simon Cowell from back in August) Honestly? If the show can afford it, that doesn’t sound unreasonable. Sure, most of us can’t demand a $400,000 raise without getting laughed out of the office. But Mel B is a Spice Girl, dang it. It’s kind of shocking that she’s making as little per year as she is. Look at it this way — Katy Perry is getting paid $25 million a year for being a judge on the American Idol revival that no one wanted or asked for. What Mel B, who is actually likable and part of one of the most iconic music groups of all time, is asking for is less than a tenth of that. And, unlike Katy Perry , Mel B actually knows how to be an entertaining judge without being a total flop. Pay up, Simon Cowell. View Slideshow: America’s Got Talent: The Best Auditions of 2017!

Early this year, Sarah Hyland and Dominic Sherwood celebrated their second anniversary as a couple. But, like all relationships, it did not last forever. As it turns out, the Modern Family actress has found a new man, and he’s also from television. Specifically, from The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise : Wells Adams. And they are already rocking some pretty epic couples’ costumes, Stranger Things style. We’re glad that Sarah Hyland had such a lengthy and presumably healthy relationship with Dominic Sherwood of Shadowhunters . (Relationships don’t always end in a big blow-up — sometimes people just grow apart, folks) After her absolutely horrific relationship with Matt Pokop ended with a three-year restraining order against him after he’d allegedly been violently abusive, she deserved good things. And she still does. Wells Adams is not dating Danielle Maltby , even though sparks flew between the two of them while Wells was tending bar on Bachelor in Paradise . (Seriously, those two were acting like main characters in a romance film — but he’s clearly moved on) Not only are Wells Adams and Sarah Hyland dating, but they are rocking some absolutely incredible costumes for Halloween. If you don’t watch Stranger Things , Wells Adams is dressed as Eleven. Sarah Hyland is not dressed as a Pokemon master but, rather, as Dustin. Wells Adams had recently admitted on his podcast with Brandi Cyrus that he had been spending a lot of time with a special someone in L.A. Clearly, Sarah Hyland fits the bill. Us Weekly ‘s source reveals that Sarah and Wells have been seeing each other for months . It seems that they only decided to take things public for Halloween. And looking at their costumes, how could you blame them? Squad costume goals, right? Wells and Sarah had been a little flirty over social media, which caused fans to first suspect that they might be an item. Just little in-jokes, complete with @-ing each other. But until we saw them all Instagram-official like this, we knew that they might have just been friends. (Yes, men and women can absolutely be friends, folks — even celebrities) We’re glad that they decided to go public so that we can all share in their joy (and appreciate their costumes) Also, clearly these guys are having fun, because they shared one of their whackier photos. (We’ll admit to not being completely caught up on Stranger Things yet, but … we don’t think that Wells’ Eleven is particularly in-character) For anyone worried about their age differences, remember that Sarah Hyland just looks young. She’s 26 years old. And while plenty of the guys in the Bachelor franchise tend to be a bit on the older side, Wells Adams isn’t too old at 33, right? That’s only a 7 year age difference and they’re both adults. We guess that this means no more Bachelor shows for Wells Adams, since those shows are usually just for the single folks. But he’s dating the super hot Sarah Hyland . That sounds like a more than fair trade to us. View Slideshow: Halloween 2017: See All the Best Costumes!

Back in 1996, when NFL legend Peyton Manning was just a 19-year-old phenom at the University of Tennessee, he was involved in a sexual assault scandal that could have ended his career before it got off the ground. The alleged incident occurred while Manning was being examined by UT athletic trainer Jaime Naughright. At the time, Manning maintained that he never made physical contact with Naughright, and simply pulled his pants down in order to “moon” a nearby teammate. Speaking with Inside Edition today, Naughright claimed the former Colts and Broncos quarterback was lying in his statement to authorities: “I felt something on my face and Peyton had pulled his shorts down and sat his anus and his testicles on my face,” she said in her first TV interview. “So I pushed him up and out. He turned around, pulled his shorts back up.” Naughright added: “I was repulsed. I was scared. I was intimidated. … It was definitely a predator — intimidating, anger, violent eyes that he had.” The Inside Edition segment also features footage from a deposition in which a young Manning offers his version of events. “I briefly pulled down my pants to so-called ‘moon’ him,” Manning said. “One second, one-and-a-half seconds. Pulled my pants back up and continued with Jamie’s examination of the bottom of my foot.” Naughright settled with the university for $300,000 in 1998. She says she felt compelled to speak out in the wake of sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein and other influential men. You can watch her first interview in its entirety below:

What did we ever do to deserve so much Teen Mom greatness? The current season of Teen Mom 2 has provided us with such delightful drama, from Kailyn Lowry's issues with her baby daddies to Jenelle Evans' issues with, well, everyone. And it's not even over yet — we still get to see Jenelle's wedding on the show, not to mention the reunion, which is sure to be amazing and terrible , all at the same time. But even though we're still in Teen Mom 2 mode right now, it's important to note that the next season of Teen Mom OG is just around the corner. Seriously, the season premiere is in less than a month. On November 27th, we will be reunited with Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell, and Farrah Abraham. And it's going to be so good . In a quick little promo MTV was kind enough to release today, we get a glimpse at those four ladies and all the things that have gone on in their lives since we last saw them. First up is Amber. When we last saw her on the season finale, she broke up with Matt Baier after he failed a lie detector test . As we learned from social media, that wasn't when she actually broke up with him — he managed to hang on for a while, at least long enough to film a season of Marriage Boot Camp with her. But it looks like in this new season, we'll get to see the actual split, and thank goodness for that. In one clip, we see her tell someone that she's stronger than she looks, and in another we see her yell at Matt “I'm tired of being with someone that walks away. Get out!” Meanwhile, things seem to be going really well for Catelynn! She doesn't get much love in the promo — which is a good thing, at least in terms of how her actual life is going — but we do hear her say “I can't let my fears dictate what I want in life.” Oddly enough, Farrah isn't heavily featured here either. All we know about her storyline at this point is that she and Sophia are officially moving to L.A. But what about Maci and all that drug drama Ryan Edwards caused for her last season? At one point in the promo, we see Ryan looking more sober than we've seen him in a long, long time. “As his father,” Maci says, “you have to pass a drug test, and we're going to be there.” Can you even wait for this?! Check out the promo in the video below:
