Audrey Roloff Reveals Anniversary Plans in Wake of Marriage Rumors

Former Little People, Big World stars Audrey and Jeremy Roloff have shared their next career move , but they’re not all business. Right after Jeremy admitted that their marriage has been “tough” in recent months, Audrey has taken to social media to gush about their anniversary trip. And yes, there are photos of these two lovebirds — and of Jer’s reaction to Auj’s gift! “It was my turn to plan our anniversary this year,” Audrey reveals in a lengthy Instagram post. “We started switching off because we like surprising each other,” she explains. “And it was just easier for managing our expectations.” “I booked us a night (our first night away from Ember) at the The Sentinel Hotel where we stayed on our wedding night 4 years ago,” Audrey shares.. “I remember when we checked in on our wedding night,” she continues. “Jer and I flipped out because there was a typewriter in the entry way.” You don’t need to take her word for it — here is Jeremy’s typewriter-fueled excitement face. “The typewriter holds a special meaning in our love story,” Auj explains. “Jeremy sent me hand typed letters throughout our years of long distance, he asked me to be his wife on the typewriter.” “And,” she continues. “Our typewriter has been on display in every home we’ve ever lived in.” Audrey says that having one on display serves the purpose of “reminding and inspiring us to write a love story worth reading.” “I called ahead of time and made a request for a special anniversary message to be displayed on the typewriter upon our arrival,” Auj reveals. The photo of Jer’s smiling face is his response to seeing the poem that was typed out on the device. Cute! “We had the most enchanting evening in Portland,” Auj says. “And I finally got to experience the Multnomah Whiskey Library.” “Of course we ended the evening reading our anniversary letters,” Audrey continues. “The ones we wrote to each other on our anniversary last year.” “It’s our favorite anniversary tradition,” she shares. Naturally, Audrey plugs their marriage blog: “You can read about some of our other favorites in our most recent post on @beating50.” The name, of course, refers to their desire to beat the odds that suggest that at least half of all couples get divorced. “Jer and I celebrate our anniversary as if it’s a national holiday,” Auj gushes. She says: “We are firm believers that love, of all things, should especially be celebrated.” “So no matter how inconvienent,” she writes. “We are inentional about carve out time on September 20th to reminisce the past year, dream for the future, and recommit to the promises made on our wedding day.” “And,” Auj continues. “As our favorite quote from our favorite book says… ‘If it’s half as good as the half we’ve known, here’s Hail! to the rest of the road.'” “Happy anniversary Farmer,” Audrey says. “Let’s keep living” As we mentioned, on their actual anniversary of September 20, Jeremy wrote a tribute to his wife and marriage but made an admission. “These have been tough months recently,” Jer wrote. “But hard work always pays off.” He gushed: “I love you and I love writing a love story with you.” Whatever their recent trials, whether it’s finding out how to stay afloat without the show, dealing with family drama, Auj’s alleged feud with Jeremy’s brother, or hidden marital squabbles, things seem okay for them. It’s great that they’re celebrating their anniversary like this — but we’re sure that they’re looking forward to being reunited with precious baby Ember.

Derick Dillard: Jazz Jennings Is Being Abused By Her Parents!

Former Counting On star Derick Dillard seems unable to stop his bigoted social media attacks on trans teen TV star Jazz Jennings. Fortunately, Jazz doesn’t care what Derick thinks , which is what the kids call a big mood . But even though Jazz is doing her level best to ignore his hate, Derick is firing back and doubling down on his claim that Jazz’s very existence is some form of child abuse. Derick Dillard still doesn’t have a job , and some wonder if that might be why he has so much extra time to tweet hateful things about Jazz Jennings and the trans community. In a recent interview, Jazz, who underwent gender confirmation surgery known as bottom surgery in June, said that she has a don’t-feed-the-trolls approach to Derick’s vitriolic tweets. She says that he’s just trying to elicit a reaction, and that she’s not going to give him what he wants. A Twitter account that appears to primarily exist to attempt to engage with various celebrities asked Derick if he has a response. Derick, seemingly thirsty for the attention, was only too happy to reply. “I just speak out against child abuse, and especially those who promote it, because it’s the right thing to do,” Derick claims in a tweet. “It’s just absolutely awful,” he has decided. “And should not be celebrated.” Obviously, parents supporting their trans children are doing the literal opposite of child abuse. But if you think that it’s hypocritical for a member of the extended Duggar family to make Derick’s statement, you’re not alone. Fans laid into Derick on the subject of child abuse. Fans had some serious questions for Derick. “Do you think blanket training is child abuse?” asked on person on Twitter. Blanket training, a practice of teaching months-old babies to obey their parents by using pain and fear, is advocated by Michael and Debi Pearl. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are tied to this abusive practice . “You should speak out against Michael and Debi Pearl. Children have actually died at the hands of parents upholding the Pearls view of ‘child rearing.’ That’s child abuse,” says another tweet. “Teaching parents how to physically abuse infants and children,” the tweet continues. “Speak out against them.” But the practice of hitting babies to break their will at a young age isn’t the only child abuse scandal in the Duggar family. “You seemed to have no problem appearing on a TV show of a family that forced their sexually abused daughters to appear on Fox News,” accused another tweet. The tweet went on that the girls were forced “to say that none of them even knew what their brother was doing to them because they were all asleep, when the police report told a different story.” Another tweet also brought up Josh Duggar, asking: “So, when are u gonna speak up about your in laws promoting child abuse by protecting ypur brother in law?” That tweet continued: “Or does that not matter because they believe in God? You’re a hypocrite and a hateful man. You don’t get to hide behind god as a way of disguising that.” Child abuse is an extremely upsetting subject. Countless children every day live in fear of a family member or supposed “caregiver.” The world does not do enough to protect its children.  Fortunately, Jazz, who will be 18 on October 6, 2018, has a loving and supportive family who have cheered her on as a girl and as an advocate. We only wish that more transgender children received love and support instead of responses like Derick’s. While Derick’s anti-trans attacks on Jazz saw him booted off of Counting On , the good folks over at The Ashley note that I Am Jazz begins airing its fifth season in 2019. It sounds like she’s right to ignore Derick’s social media vitriol. She doesn’t need it to stay relevant — but he does.

Alaskan Bush People: Gabe Brown Fears the Worst After Matt Is Injured

Last week on Alaskan Bush People , Gabe Brown risked life and limb working construction on the Brown family's new homestead. On the latest episode, however, it's not Gabe who's putting himself at risk. His older brother Matt Brown gets injured. It's a major setback for the Browns, as they explain in this video. How much will this delay construction? On Sunday night's new Alaskan Bush People episode, Matt Brown jumps down from too high and ends up injuring his knee. His siblings are concerned about his well being, but as Gabe explains to the camera, they are also concerned about delaying their construction project. “These are major setbacks,” Gabe laments to the camera. He shares his fear that: “It's gonna keep us from building the barn.” “It's pretty much worst case scenario,” Gabe worries. Matt may be able to walk, but not like he could before he twisted his knee. Rain Brown is only 15 (though she often acts as the family's de facto spokesperson on social media, she will not turn 16 until November 23, 2018). Despite that, she is so often the voice of reason — and even maturity. Even when she is speaking to Bam Bam, who is 34 entire years old. “I'm just going to be blunt with you,” Rain says. “I think you could help more.” Bam, we learn, has been showing up late and bristles in the face of being given instructions. Again, this is a grown man who was born in 1984. “It's really important for everyone to get involved with this,” Rain emphasizes. “Teamwork is important.” Though he had been messing around in the face of Matt's instructions, Rain's words do get through to Bam Bam. “I'm just me all the time,” Bam admits. You know what? He sure is. He then asks Rain to “just tell me,” when he's not being as helpful as he should. “So maybe I can fix it.” That sounds like it should be his responsibility rather than Rain's, but okay. Rain needs more from Bam Bam than showing up on time and working as a team. She admits that what he really brings to the group is a concern with safety. Matt and Gabe, in contrast, are daredevils who take risks like they have something to prove. “I think we actually need your help a lot more than we let on,” Rain tells Bam. She appreciates him agreeing to work on his behavior, and says: “I think that this is a good first step.”  “We still need to get that working on a team level going,” Rain says. It sounds like Matt — and, honestly, Gabe — need to reign in their impulses, while Bam Bam needs to be more helpful. To be fair, they're all there to film the show. As we know, the Brown family have accumulated their share of wealth over what are now 8 seasons of reality televisions. They're not squatting on land in the wilderness — they're on Billy Brown's 435 property in rural Washington. Bam isn't there because he's a construction expert. He's there because he's a reality star and appearing on camera means that he gets paid. Still, that injury looks like the real deal. Maybe Matt should wisen up and realize that he's not as young as he once was. They all need to be careful.

Al Matthews Dies: Actor Famous for "Aliens" Role Was 75

Actor Al Matthews, best known for his memorable role in the film  Aliens , has died. The iconic actor had retired to Spain, which is where he passed away. He was 75. 75-year-old Al Matthews passed away at his home, according to Spanish newspaper El Pais . Matthews’ home was located in Orihuela Costa, in the Spanish Mediterranean province of Alicante. He had retired to Spain in 2005. Responders found Matthews when a neighbor called emergency services. An autopsy is expected for the late actor. Matthews is, of course, best known for his role as Gunnery Sergeant Apone in James Cameron’s 1986 classic, Aliens . In the science fiction film, he starred alongside living legend Sigourney Weaver. He delivered a truly famous line. “Alright sweethearts, what are you waiting for, breakfast in bed? A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm,” he said on screen. The quote continues: “Every meal’s a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I love the corps!” That may have been Matthews’ most famous role, but was far from the only one. In fact, he appeared in over 30 films. Matthews portrayed a fire chief in Superman III . He played General Tudor in the cult classic The Fifth Element . He also enjoyed success in the United Kingdom, where he had a role on the UK series, Grange Hill . And speaking of his work across the pond, in 1975, his song, “Fool,” reached #16 on the UK Singles chart. Despite his retirement, Matthews reprised his legendary role as Sgt. Apone in the 2013 video game,  Aliens: Colonial Marines . Perhaps part of what made Matthews’ role in Aliens so iconic and powerful — aside from his acting skills — was that he had been a real life marine in Vietnam. “I spent six years in the United States Marine Corps;” Matthews shared on his personal website. “I hold thirteen combat awards and decorations, including two purple hearts.” He reveals: “I was the first black Marine in the 1st Marine Division in Vietnam to be meritoriously promoted to the rank of sergeant.” That is one hell of an achievement. His website blurb concludes: “I served with Kilo Battery, Fourth Battalion, 11th Marines, 1st Marine Division, of that I am very proud.” Rest in peace, Al Matthews.

Amy Roloff Celebrates Anniversary with Chris Marek, Posts GORGEOUS Photos

Amy Roloff has officially won this week. We’re just gonna go ahead and call it now. That’s what happens when you get to celebrate both a birthday and an anniversary mere days apart, spending time wth those you love and counting your blessing at every turn. Indeed, the Little People, Big World star turned 52 years old on September 17. She marked the occasion by gathering with close friends and family members, as documented in THIS PHOTO GALLERY . Fast forward mere days and Amy marked a different special occasion with someone who may someday be a family member; Long-time boyfriend Chris Marek. As you can see above and below, in some rather intimate and downright gorgeous pictures, the TLC matriarch and her man got together on Saturday to celebrate two years as a couple. Wrote Amy as a caption to these images: Anniversary! What? Where did two years go? It’s been a wonderful adventurous and full of lovely special moments of dating with this guy. So looking forward to the tomorrow’s and days ahead with him. She concluded her heartfelt post with the hashtags: #dating #anniversary #lotsoftime #lotsoflove #youandi #lifeisgood. Marek is in the real estate business and, by all accounts, is a very nice guy who gets along very well with Amy’s children. Sadly, however, for reasons that continue to defy our comprehension, so-called fans of Roloff don’t just give Marek a hard time… … they say some really dumb and cruel things about the guy . We’re not kidding around here. We mean some REALLY dumb and mean things . Thankfully, Amy keeps ignoring the haters and the trolls and just keep enjoying what she refers to as her “second act. A much-deserved second act, we’d like to add. Amy and Matt Roloff divorced back in early 2016. They released an amicable statement at the time and have maintained a healthy relationship ever since. Matt is seriously dating a woman named Caryn Chandler and both halves of this couple has moved on successfully, having established romances with their new significant others. In this spirit, we’re just gonna go ahead and wish Amy and Chris all the best, while sending them our congratulations and posing one simple question to Marek: When are you gonna put a ring on it, man?!?

Jinger Duggar Ignores Trolls, Shares Special New Baby Pic

Jinger Duggar is here to stick it to the haters. Okay, maybe not. Maybe the beloved TLC star is just here to share a special photo of her daughter with followers. But we’d like to think she got a tad bit of pleasure from her latest posting as well. We say this because Jinger has come under a ridiculous barrage of ridicule of late due to a couple ways in which she has dressed her adorable little girl, Felicity. Earlier this week, Duggar published what appeared to be a very innocent snapshot of the infant, only to be hit with one comment after another from trolls who were aghast that Felicity was wearing mittens. “Those mitts are so stupid. They need to self-soothe and they can’t with those mitts… get them off,” some huge loser actualluy wrote , while another agreed and added as a remark: “Free the hands! Better for her development.” Nevermind, apparently, that the American Academy of Pediatrics, often recommend babies wear mittens in order to avoid scratching their face with their nails. Elsewhere, haters have given Felicity a hard time for typically including a headband or scarf on top of Felicity’s precious noggin. This is less a complaint based on anything health-related or emotion-related; folks simply think it’s a lame look. Consider the following Instagram following, for example: To her credit, however, Jinger has risen above it all. She has taken the high road. She hasn’t responded to any of these misguided and/or cruel remarks… she’s simply continued to dress her child however she sees fit. The latest case in point? This picture below, which Jinger shared in honor of Felicity turning two months old. We love that she included the headwear in it! “She’s all smiles these days,” Jeremy Vuolo recently told fans of how well Felicity has been doing, as he and Jinger simply can’t stop gushing over their kid. Not that we’re about to blame them. Not at all. Along with hearts and a baby emoji, Jinger wrote the following as a caption to this image: She’s 2 months already?! #timeflies #felicitynicolevuolo #2months2days . A handful of followers, meanwhile, took note of the timestamp on the photo and just had to give Jinger some props, with one individual writing: “You know you’re the mommy of a 2-month-old when it’s nearly 4:30 in the morning and you’re making Instagram posts.” This actually led to a response from Duggar: “You are exactly right.” HA! We love it. And we can just imagine millions of women around the world nodding in agreement right about now. Stated Jinger and Jeremy back in July, when their firstborn first entered their lives: “God is so kind!. Jinger gave birth to Felicity Nicole Vuolo this morning at 4:37 am.” And then they laid out her stats: “Felicity weighs 8lbs. and 3oz. 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.” View Slideshow: Duggar Daughters’ Raciest Outfits Revealed: What Dress Code?!

Savannah Chrisley and Chase Chrisley: Spinoff Is Really Happening!

It’s only been a couple of years since Savannah Chrisley’s horrifying car crash , but the Chrisley Knows Best star is back on the road. In fact, she and her brother Chase are embarking on a road trip for their spin-off. And apparently that spin-off is moving forward — and may even be almost done with production. From what multiple sources tell Us Weekly , Savannah Chrisley and Chase Chrisley’s spin-off of Chrisley Knows Best is really happening. In fact, the spin-off, which has been rumored since last year, is said to be going “full speed ahead.” Chrisley Knows Best has just concluded its sixth season less than a month ago. A lot of shows — scripted or reality — don’t make it to the 100 episode benchmark, but Chrisley Knows Best has 109 episodes and 2 specials. And now, a spin-off. Chrisley Knows Best was previously filmed in Georgia, near Atlanta. Now, the show films in Nashville, Tennessee. According to reports, that is where Svannah and Chase’s spin-off will begin filming. The premise of the spin-off is to capture the two young adults on their sibling road trip across most of the breadth of the United States. They started off in Nashville but will end up in Los Angeles. In fact, the two have been spotted in L.A., which suggests that at least most of the principal photography is already complete. The show has been rumored for ages, and Todd Chrisley addressed this spinoff a while back. “I’m extremely proud of Chase and Savannah as they continue their journey into adulthood,” the family patriarch announced. “This show will follow them as they live on their own,” Todd continued. And give their parents huge headaches and potential heart attacks.” Todd condluded: “The plot thickens with love.” Todd is famous for his frustrations with his family, including and especially Chase, but clearly he is proud of his young adult children. Todd does admit that he can be controlling of his family’s social media activity, policing it personally. “If they say something that I don’t think is appropriate or that I think is offensive to someone,” Todd says. “I send them a text message with a screenshot and go, ‘Really? Really?” That sounds fine for some things — honestly, a few celebrities out there could use Todd Chrisley sending them similar messages — but perhaps a little intrustive for others. “My thing is,” Todd explains. “Aon’t be trashy about anything.” That sounds fair enough. Todd thinks that sometimes people embarrass themselves by being overly eager with fans on social media. “These guys out here today,” Todd laments. “If a girl likes their photograph, that’s a reason for them to slide into your DM.” For the record, clicking “like” doesn’t always indicate thirst, and indicating thirst isn’t always an invitation. Todd then cracks a joke about what some would describe as c–kblocking his kids. “You’re not sliding into anything over here,” Todd says.

Mike Sorrentino & Lauren Pesce: Planning a PRISON Wedding?!

On the current season of Jersey Shore ( Jersey Shore Family Vacation Part 2: The Legend of Curly’s Gold , or whatever they’re calling it), most of the drama has revolved around the ongoing conflict between Ronnie and his baby mama . But there’s another story that has just as much potential for tragedy that’s being mostly glossed over, presumably because it’s just too depressing for the reality sitcom vibe of Shore ‘s second iteration. We’re talking, of course, about the possibility that Mike Sorrentino might go to prison for a very long time. Back in January, Sorrentino pled guilty to tax fraud , and he now faces up to five years in prison. The fact that The Situation has sobered up and has mostly been on his best behavior (with plenty of video evidence to show to the sentencing judge) will probably help his cause, but it still seems unlikely that he’ll be able to avoid prison altogether. Which is what makes the latest news about his upcoming wedding so surprising: At first, it was widely reported that Sorrentino and Lauren Pesce were rushing the wedding planning process so that they could be safely hitched by the time Mike mike gets shipped off to the pokey. Now, Radar Online is reporting that Mike and Lauren are planning to get hitched in November — several weeks after Sorrentino’s October 2 sentencing date. The news led to a social media rumor that Mike and Lauren had arranged to get married in prison. These reports led to widespread confusion, as it’s tough to imagine that the future Mr. and Mrs. Sorrentino will be able to host the traditional Italian wedding of their dreams in Attica  After all, it’s not like you can smuggle an 80-gallon barrel of soup and 14 cousins named Marie in a trench coat. Fortunately, it seems Mike and Lauren did their research, and they’re confident that no matter what happens on sentencing day, they’ll be able to say “I do” in the presence of all their family and friends. “Ordinarily in federal court, a defendant is given a period of time (30 to 60 days) to surrender voluntarily to begin a prison sentence after the sentence is imposed,”  Sorrentino’s lawyer Henry Klingeman told Radar. Klingeman goes on to say that Mike and Lauren have “worked out all the logistics.” We guess it makes sense that Mike’s not considered a flight risk. After all, he’s been jetting all over the country filming JSFV, and he seems to have no inclination to skip the country. So it looks like we’re in for a televised Shore wedding, complete with DJ Pauly D on the ones and twos. Hopefully, Ronnie won’t steal the spotlight again.

Bristol Palin Blasts Farrah Abraham: We Are NOTHING Alike!

As you’ve likely heard by now, Bristol Palin will be joining the cast of Teen Mom OG for the show’s upcoming eighth season. Bristol is one of two new cast members replacing the fired Farrah Abraham , the other being former The Challenge star Cheyenne Floyd. But Farrah has become desperate in her efforts to remain relevant as of late, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that she decided to launch an attack against the more high profile of her usurpers. Yes, for about a month now, Farrah has been talking smack about Bristol every chance she gets. And of course, she’s been favoring the old “why are you so obsessed with me?!” card and accusing Bristol of biting her style. Bristol appeared on Jenny McCarthy’s Sirius XM show earlier this week, and the unhinged host showed little interest in vaccinating Palin from the infectious disease that is Farrah:  “Farrah had said something about you, saying, ‘She looks like she wants to be me,’” McCarthy said At first, Palin was sympathetic and allowed for the possibility that she and Farrah have suffered similar mistreatment by the press: “Girlfriend. I watch the show. I kind of felt bad,” she said about Abraham. “I know how it feels to be judged off the bat. I feel like I walk into a room and people just whisper.”  From there, Bristol went into mild shade-throwing mode, stating that she pities poor Farrah for the obvious difficulty she’s experiencing in her post-MTV life: “I watch the show. Maybe she’s just misunderstood. Poor girl, I feel so bad.” When McCarthy directly quoted Abraham as saying, “She’s trying to be me,” Palin finally lost it. “Girlfriend, you could not pay me to want to be anything like you,” Bristol said. “Honestly. No, I’m not trying to be like her.” From there, Bristol was off on a rant, confirming that those who have had actual interactions with Farrah share the opinion of those who have only watched her from afar — the girl is batsh-t crazy. “This is the only time I’m going to address it. I can’t stand people like that,” Bristol raged. “They are just searching for attention. So, it’s poke, poke, poke. No. You’re like that on the show because that’s how you are.” We didn’t think Farrah could sink any lower than she already had, but amazingly she’s found a way to look like the psychotic one in a feud with a freakin’ Palin.
