Jessa Duggar: PREGNANT With Her Second Child!!!

It’s official: The world’s already-considerable Duggar population is soon to increase by one! Following weeks of rumors that Jessa Duggar is pregnant with her second child , she and husband Ben Seewald made the news official in a statement issued to People magazine this morning: “We are overjoyed to announce that Spurgeon has a new title in life as ‘big brother!'” Jessa and Ben told the mag. “We are so thankful that God is adding to our family.” They added that their forthcoming bundle of joy is due in February.  As fans of the family’s reality shows know, Jessa and Ben married in November of 2014 following the usual chaste, Duggar-approved courtship. (The couple shared their first kiss only after they were announced as man and wife.) Almost exactly a year after their wedding, the Seewalds welcomed baby Spurgeon  into the world. The name’s a bit strange, but there’s no denying the kid is cute: View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Photos: Welcome #BabySeewald! Spurgeon is just shy of nine months old, so it’s safe to say that Jessa plans to keep the Duggar tradition alive by raising LOTS of little ones. As for rumors that Jessa and Ben planned to adopt , the couple hasn’t taken that option off the table. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Jessa stated that she and her husband would like to explore the possibility of adoption – while she contines to birth a small army the old-fashioned way: “We have many friends who have walked this road, so we have seen firsthand the amazing power of adoption,” Jessa said at the time. “There are so many kids out there who are longing for the love of a family, and we feel strongly about opening our hearts and our home to welcome them in. “We don’t know what the future holds, but as the Bible says, ‘Man plans his way, and God directs his steps,'” she continued. “So we want to move forward with paperwork and a home study, and just be ready for however God opens those doors.” So yeah, it’s safe to say you’ll be seeing a whole lot of little Seewalds entering the world one way or another in the coming years. Our sincere congrats go out to Jessa and Ben.  Now quit slacking, Jill and Derick! We know you’ve been out of the country, but there’s baby-makin’ to be done! Watch Counting On online for more of the ever-expanding Duggar clan. The show’s second season premieres tonight on TLC. We’re sure the network welcomes this last-minute burst of publicity! The show wrapped filming several months ago, so Jessa’s pregnancy will probably get significant screentime. In fact, don’t be surprised if the moment that Mrs. Seewald learns she’s knocked up is featured in tonight’s installment. View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Bump Pics: 1 & Counting!

Jeremy Vuolo: SO EXCITED About Marrying Jinger Duggar!

Just a few weeks after we learned that Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo were courting , the couple hit us with an even bigger surprise… Yes, we now know that Jinger and Jeremy are engaged , and it seems that they’ll be wasting no time in getting to the altar. The couple has been tight-lipped with regard to an exact date, but insiders say preparations are already well under way. Naturally, the whole thing is being documented for Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2, and it’s safe to assume Jinger and Jeremy’s wedding will be televised . But if the video message to fans that Jeremy posted today is any indication, that’s about all the info you’ll be getting about the Jinge and Jer’s relationship between now and when the show returns to TLC August 23. Jeremy Vuolo Talks Wedding Plans In the clip above, Jeremy addresses family, friends and fans from outside his grandparents’ home in New Jersey. Yes, Jersey. It’s not exactly Duggar territory, but then Jeremy’s not your typical Duggar dude. While Jill and Jessa both married native Arkansans, Jinger wound with a Philadelphia boy through an odd chain of events. Jeremy first became acquainted with Jessa and her husband, Ben Seewald, while traveling in Texas. They happened to be at the home of a friend of Vuolo’s when he passed through San Antonio. Vuolo hit it off with the Seewalds, even appearing in some of the faith-based YouTube videos they’ve posted. Jessa introduced Jeremy to her younger sister Jinger, but it wasn’t until the two of them wound up on a missionary trip together that they hit it off.  A former pro soccer player, Jeremy is somewhat accustomed to the limelight, but he’s about to be in the public eye like never before. It’s good to see that he’s giving himself a little media training. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Photos: From Childhood to Courtship!

Jill & Jessa "Counting On" Season 2 Episode 2 Recap: All About JANA!

Like last Tuesday’s premiere, Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2 Episode 2 offered insight into the lives of some lesser-known Duggars. Most notably and awesomely, “Cinderella” herself, Jana … Watch Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 2 Episode 2 Online You don’t have to watch Jill & Jessa Counting On online to know that Jill and Jessa are but two of 19 Duggars, with kids of their own now. That makes for a lot of kids – and littler kids – in the fold. Jana Duggar, despite being the oldest daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle (she and twin John David are 26), often gets lost in the shuffle. Still unattached, Jana’s love life has been the subject of massive speculation for years among card-carrying members of Duggar Nation. Her love life, in a manner of speaking. Or lack thereof. As anticipated, Jana opened up about being single on Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2 Episode 2 Tuesday night. What did she say? “Maybe, you know, I’ll meet the one and get married and have kids and stuff,” she mused when asked where she sees herself in five years.  She’s in no hurry, however, for one simple reason. No, not because she’s controlled by her sisters : Jana has high standards and none of her potential courtship candidates have met them! “There have been different guys who’ve come along and asked … but they haven’t been the right one, and so it’s just one of those things.” “I’m not just out to get married to the first one that comes along,” she revealed. “I mean, sometimes it can be tempting, in those moments.” Jana noted that it can be tough when “your siblings that are married and have little ones are going out on dates and doing their things.” Still, the beautiful reality star insisted that instead of obsessing over getting married, she’s “being busy where God has me right now.” Where God has her – or Jim Bob, Michelle, Josh, Jessa and Jill order her – has been the topic of much debate among her fans. Asked by producers what she thought of the fact that people think all she does is cook and take care of babies, Jana laughed. “I don’t always like to be on the forefront,” she admits. “But I enjoy the behind-the-scenes and working on different projects,” she mused. “I don’t only cook and take care of babies. Surprise!”  Her immediate goal? “Just go on with life.” Solid. What that meant in terms of last night’s episode was to install canned lighting throughout a house and manage a construction crew. Jana Duggar. A Renaissance Woman of many talents. View Slideshow: Duggar Family Members: The Official Power Rankings! The ring-leader of the Duggar Construction Co. LLC (not an official company, but they might as well be) set her sights on Jessa’s home. “I think all projects end up being a little bit more complicated than what you expect if you’re trying out something new,” she explained. The lights she installed looked great, we gotta say. While she was running that show, many Duggars traveled to Central America for missionary work and to visit Jill and Derick Dillard. Though cameras didn’t follow them on their journey – Jim Bob and Michelle were criticized for going – it seemed to go well, to Jana’s relief. Jessa and Ben Seewald, meanwhile, decided it was high time they went on a date – their first since the birth of baby Spurgeon in November. The destination? Tacos 4 Life. According to Jessa, it was “a romantic date location” despite its shabby appearance. Hey, date night is all about the company, right?! As they often do, the happily married Seewalds discussed their plans to adopt children – early and often – once Spurge gets a little older.

Jessa Duggar Reveals Secret Shame: I Don’t Know How to Cook!

Tonight, the Duggar family returns to television with the long-awaited series premiere of Jill & Jessa: Counting On . During the show's three-episode trial run back in December, the Duggars took on a more serious tone than their fans are accustomed to, with one memorable scene featuring Anna Duggar opening up for the first time about her husband's sex scandals. If you like your Duggars a bit more lighthearted than that, you're luck. Based on what we've seen so far, it looks as though the first full season of Counting On will be very different in tone. For one thing, we already know that Josh will not appear on the new show .  In addition our first glimpses of the series feature the Duggars struggling with problems such as how to build a a giant tree house and how to cook multiple turkeys at once. Not the kind of material that will have you reaching for the tissues, unless you're the sort to get teary-eyed over the fact that Jessa Duggar doesn't know how to cook. Yes, in the segment below, Jessa reveals that despite the Duggars' very conservative views on gender roles (Pretty much every woman in the family is a stay-at-home mom.), Mrs. Seewald does not know her way around the kitchen. Watch Jessa attempt to overcome her fear of Butterballs in the clip below to whet your appetite for tonight's big premiere.

Jill and Jessa Duggar: Shocked to Be Featured on Adult Website!

Prior to last year’s Josh Duggar sex scandals , many were under the impression that it didn’t get much more squeaky-clean than the 19 Kids and Counting clan. Unfortunately for Josh’s siblings, however, his misconduct was so egregious that it’s caused the public to view his entire family differently – especially his two most high-profile sisters, Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald. Though their own controversies are unrelated to Josh’s misdeeds, it’s hard to imagine that Jill and Jessa would be criticized so harshly if their family hadn’t fallen from grace in such a public fashion. First Jill was slammed for allegedly lying about her missionary work . Then Jessa was attacked for asking fans for for money  in order to purchase new clothes and other items for her son, Spurgeon. Like we said, Jill and Jessa’s mini-scandals pale in comparison to Josh’s, but the reactions from former fans are indicative of how far the Duggars have fallen in the past year. As a result, of course, they’re being treated differently on all corners of the the Internet, which may be why Jill and Jessa have found unexpected (and unwanted) popularity on a website that serves as an online gathering place for foot fetishists. View Slideshow: Duggar Family Members: The Official Power Rankings! The sisters were reportedly shocked to learn that they’re featured on a site called Wikifeet, which – though not a porn site itself – is decidedly NSFW, in that it contains links to sites with more graphic content, as well as some seriously racy comment boards. Anna Duggar is also featured on the site, but it’s Jill and Jessa who are receiving the bulk of the unwanted attention. “Her feet and toes are beautiful, everything is in proper proportion,” wrote one commenter about Jill. “Gorgeous feet. Sublime harmony of the toes. I loved it, perfect!” said another about Jessa. Needless to say, it’s not the kind of praise the sisters relish, but it looks as though they have no legal recourse. Looks like it’s just one more embarrassment for the once-beloved Duggars. View Slideshow: The 11 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals of 2015

Game of Thrones Season 6 Poster: What Does It Say About Jon Snow?

Has HBO finally come out and revealed the worst kept secret on television? In the closing moments of Game of Thrones Season 5 , Jon Snow took a sword to the abdomen. He fell down in a heap on the snow, the camera zooming in on his blood, the drama’s one true hero seemingly dead and gone forever. Except… come on. This is Jon Snow. This is the one hope for Westeros. This is the man who has a score to settle with The Night’s King and who simply ain’t going out like that Considering Melisandre just arrived at Castle Black… considering what we know happens in the George R.R. Martin novels … and considering star Kit Harrington has even been spotted on set this summer in Belfast, it seemed rather clear: Jon Snow may be dead. But he’s clearly coming back to life. By actually featuring Snow on the first official poster for Game of Thrones Season 6 , it would certainly appear as if the network isn’t even trying to make this a secret any longer. We also now know that Game of Thrones will return with new episodes in April, likely April 3, as it typically comes back early on that month. We’ll confirm the premiere date as soon as we know it. In the meantime, sound off: JON SNOW IS TOTALLY COMING BACK TO LIFE!!!! View Slideshow: 18 Instagram Pics From the Game of Thrones Cast: Selfies Are Coming!

Jill & Jessa Duggar Spinoff Series Prompts TLC Boycott!

Nearly five months after TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting , the Duggar clan is set to return to TV. Of course, the scandal-plagued Josh won’t be along for the ride this time, as the network is launching a spinoff series about Jill and Jessa Duggar and their lives as newly-married moms. But some former fans believe that even without Josh, the family simply has no place on TV. A Facebook page called “Take the Pledge to Boycott All Discovery Channels” is encouraging users to protest the return of the Duggars by refusing to tune into any properties owned by Discovery Communications, which includes TLC, the Discovery Channel, OWN, and several other networks. “Take the pledge on Dec 13, 20, and 27, 2015,” the group wrote on Facebook yesterday. “Join us in boycotting all Discovery network channels for the one hour they are airing the TLC show ‘Jill & Jessa Counting On’ 8/7 c. This family minimized childhood sexual abuse showing victims they do not matter.” The group believes that by essentially sweeping Josh Duggar’s molestation of five young girls under the carpet, TLC is sending the message that ratings are more important than the trauma endured by young victims of sexual abuse. Currently, Jill and Jessa: Counting On is scheduled for a three-week run in December. However, network insiders say that if the show is successful, TLC will offer the girls a contract for a full season. Social media campaigns have proved devastating to the Duggars in the past, as an online group called “No More Duggars” effectively convinced several sponsors to back away from 19 Kids and Counting .  Since launching just three days ago, “Take the Pledge to Boycott All Discovery Channels” has amassed several hundred followers.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Clip: Darn You, Disick!

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. Ready to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online in order to, well, keep up with all this family has been doing? Follow the above link to do so prior to November 15, when new installment of this beloved program return on E!. And check out the latest sneak peek now.

Jessa Duggar Home Birth: What Went Wrong?

We’re still awaiting updates and details after Jessa Duggar gave birth to her first child earlier this week, though this much we know for certain: The child is a boy. He came into this world on Thursday, November 5. He’s not small, weighing in at 9 pounds , 11 ounces and 21.25 inches. We don’t yet know the little one’s name, but we do now know that like her big sister Jill, not everything went totally smoothly for the first-time mother. According to TMZ, an ambulance was called to the Duggar residence in Tontitown, Arkansas, at some point on Thursday afternoon. It’s unclear whether paramedics were needed to help Jessa actually deliver or if there were complications after the baby arrived or what. But sources have confirmed that Jessa had been planning a home birth, and that mother Michelle Duggar is the person who dialed 911. Jessa was hospitalized for at least some period of time, but photos posted by father Ben Seewald depict him and his child in front of their home closet. The famous family has not addressed any childbirth complications, while Seewald informed fans on Friday that Jessa and the baby are doing very well. View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Bump Pics: 1 & Counting! “Our sweet baby boy was born last night,” Ben wrote on their website. “He weighed 9 lbs and 11 ounces and is 21 1/4 inches long! “He’s precious and both he and Jessa are doing great.” We’re very glad to hear it. This is the first child for Jessa and Ben, who married a year ago, and the longest in a very long line of Duggar kids. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have 19 kids and six grandkids, counting Jill’s son, Jessa’s son and four young children fathered by Josh Duggar. Those poor kids. We’ll learn plenty more about Jessa’s birth, the aftermath and the experience of Ben and Jessa being new parents soon enough. The couple, along with Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard, will appear on a three-part TLC special, Jill and Jessa: Counting On , in December. View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos
