Jinger Duggar Talks Courtship, Anna Duggar Opens Up About Josh Scandal in New Counting On Trailer

After the cancelation of 19 Kids and Counting last summer , some thought (and many hoped) that the Duggars would never return to television. Now, the biggest brood in reality TV is coming back to TLC with a full season of Jill & Jessa: Counting On,  which the network test-ran as a limited run spinoff in December. The first Counting On teaser didn't offer much in the way of new information. The full trailer released today, however, gives us a good idea of what to expect from the Duggar gang. There are some light scenes such as when Jana and Jinger are asked about courting . (They dodge the question like seasoned pros.) Or when things get dangerous after the Duggars decide to “go big” while constructing a tree house for the compound. But, of course, there are darker moments, as well, such as when Anna Duggar opens about the highly-publicized infidelity of her husband, Josh: “I don’t know what I’m stepping into,” she tells the camera. “I don’t know how to handle each situation…It’s not anything I ever would have thought I would walk through.” Like we said, things get heavy. Fortunately, Ben Seewald is there to provide unintentional comic relief by attempting to rap and change a diaper.

Jana Duggar to Find Love in New Reality Series?

Earlier this week, we learned that the Duggar family will be returning to television  in a full-time capacity beginning on March 15. The news that Jill and Jessa: Counting On has been picked up by TLC for a full season served as a mild disappointment for some fans who had hoped there was truth behind the rumors of a reality show focusing on Jana Duggar’s love life . Jana has evolved into something of a fan favorite over the years, and with her younger sisters getting married and starting families, many Duggar devotees would love to see her find the right man and leave the compound behind. Now, it seems that those viewers may get their wish, as the first trailer for Counting On contains a very brief cameo from Jana that some fans are interpreting as a hint that she’ll find love in the show’s first season.  It may just be wishful thinking on the fans’ part, or a clever way the network’s clever way of hooking viewers, but whatever the case, Jana is very happy about something in the preview.  The portion of the extended preview that’s piqued the interest of many viewers features a shot of Jana smiling and saying, “I totally didn’t see this coming.” Is she talking about meeting the right man? Only time will tell, but for now, it looks like Jana boosters have something to be excited about.

Jill Duggar: Criticized For Putting Family at Risk

It’s been four months since Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard returned to Central America to complete the missionary work that they began in early 2015. Last year, the couple was criticized for coming home ahead of schedule after accepting donations from fans and giving the impression that El Salvador would serve as their new home.  Now, in a strange (but somewhat justified) reversal of public opinion, Jill and Derick are being criticized for staying in El Salvador despite the fact that doing so puts them at risk of contracting the dreaded Zika virus. When news first broke that the virus was endangering the health of pregnant women and their babies throughout the region, there were rumors that Jill and Derick planned to return to Arkansas , thus cutting their missionary trip short for a second time. Now, it looks as though they have every intention of staying put, even though it’s been widely reported that Jill is pregnant with her second child . Jill and Derick have not confirmed the rumors, but they have yet to deny them. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos Their silence on the matter – coupled with the fact that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar recently made an unannounced visit to Jill and Derick in El Salvador  – has led many to believe that the couple is in fact expecting a little brother or sister for baby Israel. Naturally, fans have taken to social media to encourage Jill and Derick to return to the States, as Zika is known to cause birth defects in the children of infected mothers. However, experts say that if Jill and Derick take the necessary precautions (such as sleeping with a mosquito net over their bed), they should be safe. Even so, it’s not hard to see why fans of the couple might be concerned. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar Baby Photos

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Visit the Dillards in El Salvador: Is Jill at Risk??

Jill Duggar and her husband Derick Dillard embarked on a mission to El Salvador to do the Lord’s work, but their expedition has been marred with controversy almost since they left. In the past few weeks, speculation arose that the Dillards cut their mission short and returned to Arkansas to avoid catching the Zika virus, which is currently rampant in the Central American country. However, a new photo posted to Facebook confirms that the couple and their son Israel are definitely still in El Salvador, and even welcomed two guests: Jill’s parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. “Jill’s parents surprised us recently with an impromptu visit for a few days,” Derick wrote on his blog . “It was great to have them with us and get to show them the work the Lord is doing here.” He assured fans that 10-month-old Israel is doing well, loving the fruits and veggies there and was happy to see his grandparents. “Israel definitely enjoyed all the attention when Grandma and Grandpa Duggar came to visit,” wrote Derick. Fans have been concerned about the Dillards’ stay in El Salvador as Zika has been known to cause severe birth defects in pregnant women, and given the family’s stance on shunning birth control, Jill could be at risk. Could Jill be making an exception and using birth control ? If she did in this case, we can’t imagine anyone would fault her for it. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos

Jill Duggar Comes Under Fire For Photo of Baby Israel

It’s been a tough week for Jill Duggar on social media Yesterday, a photo of her family that Jill posted to Instagram had fans wondering about Derick Dillard’s health . Today, an innocent photo of her son, Israel, has dozens castigating Jill as a negligent mother. As you can see, the controversial photo shows Israel sitting on a blanket in front of a pile of Christmas presents – and an open electrical outlet. Yes, the outlet in the pic isn’t baby-proofed with plastic plug-style covers, and many Duggar fans (and haters) have taken to calling Jill and Derick out on their IG pages. Many have also wondered about the mark on Israel’s eye, which could be a bruise or simply a shadow. Jill and Derick have yet to offer an explanation. Regardless of your feelings on whether or not little Israel is soon to zap himself into the Promised Land, the debate that’s currently raging on Derick’s IG page is highly entertaining: “Look out for that electrical outlet, neglectful parents,” wrote one follower. “People today want children to be bubble wrapped. It’s pathetic,” another countered. We’d give more examples, but the comments on the photo feature plenty of language the Duggars wouldn’t approve of, because what’s the point of expressing your views if you’re not using all-caps and F-bombs aplenty? The point is, some folks think Jill and Derick should be under investigation by CPS, while others continue to believe they can do no wrong.  Watch Jill & Jessa: Counting On  online to decide for yourself if Jill is the best or worst mother on the planet. There’s probably some middle ground in the debate, but why keep a level head when you take an EXTREME stance?  View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos

LeAnn Rimes Probably Doesn’t Want Kids. Ever.

The country star hath spoken. LeAnn Rimes gave an interview   about having children of her own with husband Eddie Cibrian, and it provided the interweb with all sorts of ammunition. While it’s not very polite to ask a married couple if they plan on having kids, In Touch didn’t care and asked Rimes and Cibrian when they were going to start procreating . “I have two kids in my house half the time, so I know what it takes to be a parent,” Rimes said, referring to her two step-sons, Mason, 12, and Jake, 8 (mom is Cibrian’s ex-wife, Brandi Glanville). “I know my life will change – I just don’t know if I’m ready for that yet.” Helping Cibrian raise his boys has allowed Rimes “understand the capacity” she has to form a bond with someone that’s not her “own blood.” With that said, Rimes isn’t in any rush to have any of her own. “Life is fine just as it is,” Rimes said.  “We have lots of love at home.”  Rimes and Cibrian started rolling around on the set of Lifetime’s Northern Lights , causing both to divorce their spouses in 2009. In 2011, they married, and Rimes enjoying engaging in Twitter fights with Glanville.   View Slideshow: 13 Memorable Celebrity Side-Pieces: Because Every Cheater Needs Someone to Cheat With!

Jill & Jessa Duggar: Advertisers Backing Out of New Series?

On Sunday, Jill & Jessa: Counting On will premiere on TLC, and lots of folks are not too happy about it. Jill & Jessa: Counting On Trailer The controversial family’s return to television has resulted in  Duggar boycott groups springing up all over social media, and now it appears their campaign is beginning to have an impact. A Facebook group called #NoMoreDuggars: Contacting Sponsors has been…well, contacting current and potential sponsors to encourage them to pull their support from Jill and Jessa’s three-part series. The group claims that 928 advertisers have already vowed not to put their money behind any of the Duggars’ future TV efforts, including the forthcoming Counting On. Obviously, most of the anger directed toward the family is the result of the Josh Duggar sex scandals that caused the Duggars to be removed from television in the first place. Though they initially defended their brother’s actions and their family’s handling of the situation Jill and Jessa have been critical of Josh in recent weeks. However, many feel the sisters latest comments are simply part of an effort to win over disillusioned former fans. TLC is only committed to airing three episodes of Counting On, but from the start, the network has hinted that if the show is a hit with fans, we can expect more specials featuring Jill and Jessa, and possibly even a full series. Of course, if execs can’t find anyone to pay for advertising time, the Duggar sisters may soon find themselves counted out.  View Slideshow: 23 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals: How Low Can They Go?!

Donald Trump Talks Presidency, Puts Oreos on Blast

At least for a few moments, Donald Trump has moved on from Mexicans and Megyn Kelly to focus on a problem truly threatening to bring America down: Oreos. Wait… what?!? Because parent company Nabisco has shipped jobs out of the country, Trump tells the latest issue of Rolling Stone that he’s dead serious is making America better, one deprived dessert item at a time. “I meant what I said: No more Oreos for Trump!” The Donald declares to the magazine. Trump also tells the publication that he’s “owned by the people,” meaning he’s financing his own campaign and is therefore not beholden to donors or lobbyists. Among other items touched on by the mocker of Asians : U-S-A! U-S-A! I’d renegotiate trade deals so that our country becomes rich again, and end deals where car manufacturers go to other countries. I’m gonna have them built right here. A Promise to the People:  I’m no angel, but I’m gonna do right by them! All About the Benjamins:   I make $400 to $600 million a year. Carly Fiorina:  Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious? Ivanka Trump : Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father… What Will He Do About ISIS?  We gotta waterboard ’em, don’t you agree?

Blake Shelton Thinks He’ll "Hook Up"with Rihanna

Blake Shelton is single and very ready to mingle… … with Rihanna? The country music superstar, who divorced Miranda Lambert this summer in one of many high-profile splits, spoke to Access Hollywood this week about the very famous artist who will advise contestants on Season 9 of The Voice. “I was amazed by Rihanna. She is so funny and she’s crazy about me,” Shelton said. “We’ll probably end up hooking up at some point. I’m just saying.” Wow. That’s rather brazen of the singer to say, isn’t it? Shelton then doubled down on his statement, likely joking and adding: “I see a collaboration – maybe not musically. You know what I’m saying?” We sure do, Blake. But you best be careful when it comes to speaking on Rihanna’s love life. NBA player Matt Barnes is still regretting doing so after Rihanna put Barnes on major blast for lying about their relationship. Rihanna will advise Shelton and the other Voice coaches – Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, and Pharrell Williams – on the upcoming nine season of this NBC competition. It kicks off on Monday, September 21 at 8/7c and it features another newly-single celebrity: Gwen Stefani filed for divorce from Gavin Rossdale this summer. But she is yet to make any proclamation about hooking up with Rihanna. View Slideshow: 25 Most Shocking Hollywood Divorces

Jill Duggar: Pregnant With Baby Number Two?!

Over the weekend, Amy Duggar married Dillon King , and most of her famous cousins were on hand to help her celebrate. Or, as rumor would have it, steal her thunder. Amy is often referred to as the “cool” or “rebellious” or “not creepily subservient” Duggar, and she lived up to her reputation at her wedding. Rocking a shoulder-baring dress that even revealed a hint of cleavage (gasp!) and offering emotional support to Anna Duggar , one of the many victims of her husband Josh’s rampant perviness, Amy shone brightly on her wedding day. But even with her extremely mild badass-ness on full display, the 19 Kids and Counting crew couldn’t cede center stage for very long. First, Michelle Duggar used Amy’s nuptials as an excuse to post a bunch of photos from Jessa Duggar’s wedding – which took place 10 months ago – in a move that baffled some fans and pissed off others. Michelle tried to make things right by posting some pics of Amy (ya know, the one who just got married?), but now Jim Bob’s brood is stealing the show once again, thanks to what eagle-eyed fans have noticed above. See the far right? View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos Yes, Jill and Derick Dillard ditched their missionary work (again) to attend the wedding and many believe that Jill is showing signs of a slight baby bump. Could it just be that the 24-year-old’s body hasn’t fully bounced back from the first birth, which took place only five months ago? Of course. Jill just gave birth to son Israel David Dillard in April, so it’s rather surprising that she’s already showing signs of being pregnant with baby number two … or at least it would be, if she weren’t a Duggar. As a Duggar, she’s expected to spend the next two decades pregnant or nursing before collapsing into an exhausted heap and forcing her older kids to raise the younger ones, a la her older sister Jana Duggar. Oh, and she has to pray really hard that one doesn’t grow up to be a total creepy-ass perv who molests his siblings and pays strippers for sex. That’s important, too.
