The Duggar family, as you obviously know if you watch 19 Kids and Counting online or read any celebrity news for fun lately, are a conservative bunch. In fact, Josh Duggar, the eldest of the 19 Kids and Counting, moved from Arkansas to Washington, D.C., to take a job lobbying for conservative causes. To that end, here’s Josh with wife Anna Duggar, looking to rally support ahead of Tuesday’s crucial Election Day, by appealing to the pro-life community: They make no secret of their political and religious views in the Duggar family, but often times, the manner in which they do so tends to spark controversy. Such as when Jessa Duggar compared abortion to the Holocaust … or when her fiance Ben Seewald’s father subsequently likened Jessa’s critics to Hitler . Or now, to a degree, with Anna Duggar’s Twitter account. Anna is embarking on a Faith, Family, Freedom Tour with her husband, “to encourage voters to consider faith, family and freedom when casting their ballot on November 4th.” Naturally, she’s exposing her followers to a whole lot of pro-life discussion in the process, especially after she re-tweeted a pointed political message: “The Ultimate Act of Voter Suppression is Killing Voters Before They’re Born.” This refers likely to the Democratic party criticism of Republican-supported voter ID laws, which advocates say reduces fraud, but critics argue is suppression. Either way, November 4 is going to be a big day in the Duggar household, win or lose, with control of the U.S. Senate and many local and state races at stake. SO Many Duggars 1. A Duggar Family Pic Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are still working on that 20th kid.
2014 has been dubbed The Year of the Quarterback, and few field generals have turned in better performances than Tom Brady’s epic gun-slinging display in Foxborough yesterday. Brady threw for 354 yards and 5 touchdowns, leading the Patriots to a 51-23 rout of the Chicago Bears. It’s the kind of game that speaks for itself, but this is the social media age, of course, so what’s the point of accomplishing something if you can’t brag about it on Instagram? Brady’s supermodel wife Gisele Bundchen posted the above photo to her IG page, along with a caption reading, “So happy for my love!!! Go Pats!!! 51 points!!!” Of course, by his own admission, Brady pouts and whines when things don’t go his way, so Gisele certainly has cause to be happy. But even so, some consider the pic to be kind of a douchey move on the Bundchen-Brady’s part. We’re sure Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari wouldn’t take a gloating photo together if the Bears had won. Of course, that might have something to do with the fact that Jay and Kristin don’t really seem to like each other, but still! Hey, if your Aunt Edna can get 400 likes every time her cat squeezes into a small space, certainly Tommy Terrific deserves some social media props for one of the best games of his storied career. Although, to put things in perspective, we feel the need to point out that Tom didn’t even turn in the top performance of the week. That honor belongs to Ben Roethlisberger, but we’re assuming his IG page is just a bunch of pics of his favorite strippers. Totally NSFW. 34 Pics of Gisele Bundchen in States of Undress 1.

Kylie Jenner, 17, has become completely, utterly unrecognizable these days. Those lips, that hair, that body … mostly those lips. Good grief. Who would even know this was Kylie Jenner if you didn’t see such photos on her Instagram? Check out the latest example and prepare for your jaw to hit the floor: Kylie Jenner’s lips – oh those red, plump, sensual, come-hither, gigantic, almost incomprehensibly luscious lips – are taking over the Internet, and HARD. The debate over those things continue to rage on. How can it not? She’s posting these images herself, so she clearly knows and loves the attention she gets when people see this and fly off the handle into a collective tizzy. This is the tizzy to end all tizzies, too. All we know is that it’s impossible not to be flat-out shocked by pictures like this, and we’ve seen plenty of questionable Kylie and Kendall Jenner photos . You’d think we would be desensitized. Not so much. But we know puberty alone is not causing this kind of transformation, and that begs a host of questions. Are those lip injections or lip liner ? Are lip injections the same as plastic surgery? Does Kris Jenner condone this? Is Kylie a teenager or a fembot cyborg? We may never know the answers. In fact, we would bet heavily on that, because she knows exactly what she’s doing, and that is keeping us guessing. Well played, Kylie. Very well played. Kylie Jenner Lips: SEE THE TRANSFORMATION! 1. Kylie Jenner Then and Now Kylie Jenner now and just a few years ago. She looks a tad different. We don’t know what else to say here. Check out more images below of Kylie’s lips and the very unnatural state they currently find themselves in, and ponder how they possibly got there, above. Then share your comments and votes below as THG continues to examine one of the enduring, vitally important celebrity gossip mysteries of modern times. VOTE: Did Kylie get lip injections? Yes, and it’s really too bad! Yes, and she looks hot! No, it’s just lipliner! Unclear View Poll »
Young Jessa Duggar is gearing up to be a bride this coming weekend, when she will officially become Mrs. Ben Seewald in front of her friends and family. Her many, many friends and family members. This is the Duggar family! Jessa’s wedding invitation has been revealed, featuring a sweet photo of the soon-to-be married duo along with the location and more. Check it out below: Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos 1. Jessa Duggar Wedding Invitation This beautiful wedding invitation beckons you to the nuptials of Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald. If only we could go. “Mr. & Mrs. Jim Bob Duggar request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Jessa Lauren Duggar to Benjamin Michael Seewald,” it reads. The pair will wed Saturday at First Baptist Church in Bentonville, Ark. Jessa, 21, got engaged to Ben Seewald , 19, who popped the question in August after 11 months of dating the beautiful 19 Kids and Counting reality star. “We are so blessed to be engaged!” they said in a statement then. “God has written an amazing story through our courtship, and another chapter has just begun! We are thrilled to see what the future holds – especially the wedding bells!” The couple’s registry includes an array of items such as an Apple MacBook Air computer, a bamboo cutting board shaped like Arkansas and a pink hair dryer. Probably for Jessa, not Ben. Gonna go out on a limb right there. 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair. It’s the second wedding in six months for the Duggar family, which celebrated the marriage of Jessa’s older sister Jill Duggar to Derick Dillard in June. Jill, the fourth oldest of the 19 Kids and Counting , is currently expecting her first child (they went to work fast) and has gotten to work on a registry of her own. Their Walmart wish list, like their wedding registry, is predictably modest, filled with essentials for the baby and items like Dr. Pepper (for real) for mom. Eldest child Josh Duggar is married with three children, while twins John David and Jana Duggar are still on the market … the latter rather notably. Can’t wait for Jessa and Ben to make it official!
The Duggars of TLC’s 19 Kids & Counting fame seems like the picture perfect family in many respects, but what goes on behind closed doors? A lot of things you might not expect, according to a surprising new expose. 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair. With 19 children to raise (or at least 15 now that a handful have reached adulthood), one would think Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar would be exhausted, 24/7. Not necessarily, though. Their maligned ace in the hole: Jana Duggar ! It’s the put-upon eldest daughter who’s exhausted from a lifetime of raising the kids , and some of the other older siblings, who do most of the babysitting. “Jim Bob and Michelle have what they call the ‘buddy system,’” an insider says of the household’s inner workings, and that system works as follows: “Each of the older kids gets paired with a younger kid that they have to watch over and help out. It’s great for them, because it’s like they have a set of free nannies. The kids, however, “don’t really have a choice” in the matter. Jana Duggar, as a 23-year-old, often gets saddled with even more responsibility, as she’s managing the managers as well as her own little buddy. “Jim Bob and Michelle have been known to go out on date night and leave all the kids at home with Jana in charge of the house,” the source says. “They’ll be gone for hours, during which she has to watch over everyone. She does it with a smile, but it’s sad. It’s not like she ever gets a date night!” She’s not even allowed to date , according to some reports. There’s only so much one beautiful young woman can do, too, because of the sheer numbers involved. When the parents are away, the kids run wild. If Jana can’t whip something up for all of them to eat, which is a tall order, “they’ve been known to just have snacks like pretzel sticks and yogurt for dinner.” “They bounce off the walls!” the source claims. “They are allowed to ride their scooters in the house, and even put the youngest kids in a wagon. “They drag them around at high speeds. It seems like they pretty much do whatever they want. They even have an indoor slide and rock climbing wall.” “It’s amazing that no one’s ever gotten hurt.” Or that Jana gets no credit for it. Jana Duggar Photos: So Beautiful, So Maligned 1. Jana Marie Duggar Jana Marie Duggar is so beautiful … and put upon, supposedly, by a family that relies on her to help take care of the others but never have a life of her own. If that’s true, it’s sad. Is it time for her to break free? To their credit, there has been no sign of abuse , mental or physical, or rumors of any legitimate scandals with the family, despite its increasingly high profile. While to a point, you can’t expect a family that large to coexist without a level of chaos thrown into the mix, you have to wonder about the toll it takes on Jana. With Josh Duggar married with children, Jill Duggar marrying Derick Dillard and Jessa Duggar set to get married November 1, Jana’s plight seems even sadder. To see the family as they want to be portrayed on TLC, watch 19 Kids and Counting online to catch up on their comings and goings, then comment below: Should Jim Bob and Michelle cut her a break and bring in some hired help to keep the kids in line instead of their vaunted buddy system? Discuss!
On TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting Season 14 Episode 12 Tuesday night, Duggar family fans saw the countdown to Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard’s wedding in full swing. We know how THAT turned out, if you know what we’re saying! NOTE: We’re saying they got married and she’s pregnant. Just because we all know the happy ending doesn’t make 19 Kids and Counting Season 14 Episode 12 any less fun to watch, of course, as we go behind the scenes. With the wedding right around the corner, Jill’s parents Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are hosting weekly counseling sessions with the soon to be newlyweds. Not that they need them. These kids have good heads on their shoulders and are clearly all in when it comes to the Duggar family dating rules and such. Meanwhile, Jill’s siblings, from the lovely Jana Duggar all the way down to the littlest ones, are starting to realize that she’s leaving the nest, and it’s bittersweet. In this week’s counseling session, the pair talks finances, and Derick – a hard worker who knows how to save, and be frugal – is cut from the same cloth. Next up is making sure their temporary home – the fixer upper Jim Bob bought not too long ago – is furnished before they move in after their wedding. Naturally, that means used furniture and electronics. The auction turns out to be a blast, and by the time it’s over Jill and Derick have almost everything they need for their first home together. So sweet! One thing we can all be jealous of when we watch 19 Kids and Counting online is home renovations and moving. They have the skills AND the manpower! Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard Photos: True Love Timeline 1. Their First Meeting (Sort Of)! The Arkansas natives grew up within 45 minutes of each other, but didn’t meet until late 2011. Jill recalled when Derick stopped by while caroling with a church group, and not long after, “Derick contacted my dad and asked if he would be a prayer partner during his two-year term in Nepal.” With all of Jill’s siblings pitching in, and Ben Seewald to boot, there’s nothing they can’t tackle, giving new meaning to the term strength in numbers. Perhaps the coolest part is that even when they’re not naturally inclined to do a job, as we saw when they redid the carpeting, they’re willing to learn. Meanwhile the Duggar extended family starts to arrive for the festivities, including Jill’s brother, the first of the 19 kids Josh Duggar, and his wife Anna. They have three kids of their own, born around the same time as some of Josh’s siblings, making their aunts and uncles nearly the same age as them. Crazy! Josh also helps Jill and Derick secure a slick black truck for their wedding “getaway” vehicle, borrowing it from a friend for the special day. What a guy. Meanwhile, Anna joined the Duggar sisters at Jill’s new home for a decorating party, and even though they have a blast, they are sad to let Jill go as well. Jill is also feeling a bit nostalgic during one of her last outings with her sisters – to get their nails done – even as she can’t wait to marry the love of her life. That’s the way life goes, sometimes. 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1.

Ben Seewald’s father, Michael, is weighing in on some of the criticism Jessa Duggar recently endured, calling out the critics of his soon-to-be-daughter-in-law. Specifically, he’s calling the critics of 21-year-old Jessa “Hitler’s Doppelgangers.” Yes, he said that. So how’d we get to this point, you ask? Here’s a refresher: After visiting Washington, D.C., Jessa commented on the Holocaust on abortion in an Instagram essay that resulted in some pretty significant backlash. The Duggars, as you know if you watch 19 Kids and Counting online , or read any celebrity news sites lately, are unabashedly religious and pro-life. Jessa also believes Earth is 6,000 years old , but that’s neither here nor there. Well, she’s marrying a young man in Ben Seewald that shares her convictions, as does his family. Michael Seewald proved this by going OFF on her detractors … “Bravo, Jessa, for daring to speak out against one of the great evils of our time even if it means that Hitler’s doppelgangers are enraged,” Ben’s father writes. “Maybe this is why Rush Limbaugh calls radical feminists ‘Femi-Nazis’.” Michael’s full missive describes in detail how he believes that “abortion also is the extermination of a certain class of people deemed unworthy to live.” Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos 1.

If only we could go. “The powers that be have legalized murder just as they did during the Holocaust. Any woman who chooses to may go to an abortion clinic and have her preborn baby violently killed.” “In Hitler’s Germany there was legal discrimination against Jews. In our society we may legally discriminate against our own children and eradicate them.” “Tell me how this is not the same thing.” Some many view statements such as godly, and vital in terms of speaking truth to power. Others may think of Seewald’s rant as hate speech in and of itself. Jessa Duggar, for her part, did not go nearly as far when lamenting the human rights atrocities she was so moved by when she visited the Holocaust museum. The controversy isn’t likely to wane anytime soon, whichever side you’re on. As the criticism intensifies, the Duggars and their supporters keep digging in. Will comments from Ben Seewald ‘s family and the like hurt the popularity of the TLC family?
