The father of country music superstar Keith Urban has lost his battle with cancer. This sad news was relayed to fans via a message on the official Keith Urban website. Referencing his wife, Nicole Kidman, Urban wrote the following to readers: “I’ve been deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support that Nic and I, and our family, have received since my dad’s passing on Saturday night.” The American Idol judge added that his dad is “finally at peace” after such a long battle with such a debilitating disease. Urban went on to credit his father’s affection for Don Williams and other country artists as a major reason for why he went into this industry. You don’t exactly see many Australian country music singers, after all. “My dad’s love of country music and America set me on my life’s journey, and shaped so much of who I am today,” he wrote. “Thank you to everyone who has kept us all in your thoughts and prayers.” Bob Urban was placed in hospice care about a week prior to his passing. His son, meanwhile, will be front and center once again when American Idol kicks off its final season on January 6. We send our thoughts and prayers to his family.

You're invited, dear THG readers, to the Kardashian Thanksgiving. Sort of. Khloe Kardashian has shared a new video from the meal she hosted on Thursday, November 26, one that included Kim Kardashian , Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner, Kanye West, Scott Disick, Tyga, and Corey Gamble. We've already seen these loved ones gathered around in a Kardashian family photo . But now we're getting a look inside Khloe's house and at the festive table itself. “All of us after this crazy year are actually able to be at the same table together,” Khloe says into the camera. “So much S-H-I-T has happened that we would all be sitting here breaking bread together.” It is true. Over the past 12 months, the Kardashians have seen Bruce become Caitlyn… Kendall become a world famous model… Lamar Odom fall unconscious… Kourtney split from Scott Disick… and Kim give birth to a son named Saint . That sure does make for a crazy year. “I’m thankful for my kids and everyone here at this table,” Kris added in this video, while Caitlyn chimes in with: “I’m thankful because I wake up in the morning and I can’t wait for the day to start. I’m thankful for everybody in this room. Thank you.” Awww, so very sweet! Check out the footage below and remember to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online every week in order to stay up to date on all things Jenner and Kardashian.
Quick question for you, Justin Bieber: What do you mean?!? For the second time in just a few days, the singer has shared a throwback photo of him and Selena Gomez. The first old picture of the ex-couple featured Selena and Justin riding an ATV together, with the former’s hand on the latter’s leg. Bieber clearly knew the image would stir up chatter of a reconciliation, so he wrote “just a throwback calm down” as the caption. This time around, however, he actually shared a picture from 2012 of him and Gomez holding hands (with “Crazy throwback” as the caption) and it’s impossible not to wonder about the timing. Justin did , after all, put this image out there the day after sources allege Gomez made out with Niall Horan at a party in Hollywood. Is he trying to make his pretty territory in some way? Is he simply in a reminiscent mood now that it appears Gomez has moved on? The young singer, of course, dated off and on (and then off… and on again… and again) for three years prior to splitting in late 2014. But they’ve been hanging out a lot in recent weeks, including one occurrence of Bieber serenading Gomez at in a hotel lobby. What did THAT mean? It’s never ever clear with these two, but Bieber appears to be hoping Gomez chooses one direction with her lips moving forward. And that direction would be his own.
Rob Kardashian is back on social media. And also back to being pretty gosh darn weird about it. A few days after Kylie Jenner released an actual lip kit (on sale now! For just $29!), her reclusive half-sibling shared an adorable picture on Instagream. It features his bulldog sitting at a computer, staring at Kyle’s lip kit online and apparently distraught over the fact that he cannot purchase it. “I guess someone is disappointed they didn’t get Kylie’s lipkit!!!! Don’t worry buddy more coming soon!” Rob wrote as a funny caption. Rob Kardashian, of course, has been estranged from his family for over a year and a half now. Such as he’s done here, Rob has reached out a few times on Twitter and on Instagram… but he was not included in the family Thanksgiving photo and he has not made any appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11. It’s clear that Rob is sick of the spotlight, while he’s also admitted himself on multiple occasions that he’s ashamed of his overweight body. We’re guessing it doesn’t help that his famous sisters are always talking about the desire to slim down their own bodies. This is a family that is seemingly accepting of everything… except excess weight. However, Kardashian may be featured in the family Christmas photo this year. For a price , that is.

According to a new report, Kylie Jenner’s motivation for taking rapper beau Tyga back may be as simple as keeping him away from Blac Chyna. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner vs. Blac Chyna Feud: A Brief History of Shade! Despite a brief, very public split, and recurring talk of Kimye plotting their breakup , by all accounts Kylie and Tyga are dating as of this report. Radar thinks that Tyga’s baby mama is a factor in this, too. Sources cited by the celebrity news site allege that the bad news musician has been “crying on the shoulder” of Chyna, and Kylie isn’t thrilled. Might that be what spurred her to take his shady a– back? “Kylie’s so immature, she has this ridiculous ego and can’t take the thought of Blac getting Tyga all to herself again,” the insider said. Chyna, 28, has feuded with Kylie repeatedly since Tyga, 26, began hitting it (or stopped trying to hide that he was hitting it) last winter. Stories of Blac Chyna throwing shade at Jenner are a dime a dozen, but when talk of Kyga’s split surfaced, she really upped her game. In posting a video online showing a watch he bought her, Chyna may have ironically sparked a reconciliation by taking it to her rival. Says an insider reportedly close to the high school drama: “Blac’s taunts are what persuaded Kylie to have these peace talks, so she could prove to herself and Blac that Tyga’s more interested in her.” While Blac’s trolling apparently backfired and Jenner came out the winner, the source says Kylie’s intentions are oh so very far from pure: “She’s staying with him for all the wrong reasons.” Your move, Blac. Better try a new technique … View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner & Tyga Photos: The Way They Were
Last night on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 4 , Kris met Caitlyn for the first time, while Kylie Jenner marked her 18th birthday. Did it make for a celebratory occasion? Or an awkward one? Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 4 Online First of all, Kim set up a Pure Barre studio in Kris’ front hall, and it was spectacular. Coming home after a long day’s work, Kris was hoping for a gin & tonic and some catch-up time with her friends. Nope. You must all pass through the studio first. Mind the ballet bars. Oh and shut up. North is napping. With Kylie’s 18th birthday coming up, Kris and Caitlyn had to not only bury the hatchet, but actually have their very first face-to-face since Caitlyn’s transition. The scene, which also aired on I am Cait , didn’t resolve much; fans could see that Kris was still hurting at that point. The Vanity Fair article had been published, and Kris felt her name was dragged through the mud. Caitlyn didn’t think so, and she was equally pissed that she wasn’t invited to Kylie and Kendall’s graduation. Fair point. The Jenner/Kardashian girls gathered at Nobu for Kylie’s birthday, and though the tension between Caitlyn and Kris had thawed out a bit at that point, Kris was still visibly uncomfortable. I get it. This was a huge change for Kris, who loved Bruce for as long as she did while he kept this massive secret. It’ll take time, but as Kris herself said, this life is the “new normal.” Kylie’s relationship with Tyga was showcased for the first time at her Bootsy Bellows party, as was her $320,000, a gift from the man himself. Frankly, I’m more interested in watching Kim bark orders at Kris. In Kris’ home. What did you think of Sunday’s episode?

Is Anna Duggar scrambling to bank some quick cash before Josh Duggar gets out of rehab so she can beat a long-overdue retreat from the cult? That’s the subject of a new post on The Stir , which comes on the heels of previous reports that Anna Duggar will file for divorce in the near future. The website cites Anna’s upcoming appearances on TLC’s 19 Kids & Counting spinoff, Jill and Jessa: Counting On , as proof of her big plan. Jill and Jessa’s new show, which is actually a series of three specials, will focus on the married Duggar daughters and what they’re up to lately. It will clearly delve into Josh Duggar and how he left the family in shambles, and some fans were surprised to see that Anna’s playing a part. In a span of just a few months, an exposed police report exposed him as having molested four of his sisters plus a babysitter as a young teenager. Then, he was outed as a cheater in the Ashley Madison hack, and even sued by Danica Dillon for giving the stripper/porn star rough sex PTSD. Yes, the conservative Christian clan’s empire crumbled faster and harder than anyone could’ve imagined, but wife Anna suffered most of all. Previews for Counting On make a big deal out of the fact that Anna breaks her silence on Josh , but it sounds like her motivation is not ratings. View Slideshow: 13 Reasons Why Anna Duggar Should Leave Josh NOW Anna’s trying to bank enough money to divorce her dirtbag spouse, according to insiders, and reality TV offers the quickest, easiest cash around. According to insiders, he is begging Anna to stay with him when he leaves his Christian labor camp/sex addiction rehab center home in Illinois. Family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar even bought the couple a house and Josh is pushing for a recommitment ceremony. They are lobbying hard. Yet Anna isn’t so sure, and sources close to the mom of four say she’s considering the divorce option closely, bringing us back to Counting On . The 28-year-old reportedly ” agreed to be filmed for financial reasons only,” and “her ultimate goal is to save up enough to make it on her own.” Wow. Is it possible this is all conjecture, and she did it not just for the money but to tell her side of the story, and support her nice sisters-in-law? Of course. The extra cash is nice whether she stays married or not, and Jill and Jessa never did anything to her. In fact, they’re said to be close. Still, you have to wonder if perhaps, just maybe, poor Anna has seen the light and taken the first step toward making a seriously bold-ass move.

Charlie Sheen has been sued by a former flame. But not for the reason you may think. A few weeks ago, following Sheen’s HIV reveal, we reported that the actor may very well be subject to lawsuits by past sexual partners whose lives he may have endangered due to his very serious illness. According to TMZ, however, Brett Rossi is taking legal action against Sheen because she says he got her PREGNANT in March of 2014. She then says Sheen flipped outer over the news, claiming Rossi would “give birth to a retarded child” and pressuring her to abort the fetus. Rossi admits that she gave in and did so. She also alleges that she had unprotected sexual intercourse with Sheen on at least five occasions prior to discovering HIV medication in his medicine cabinet. But the couple then discussed the virus and agreed to have unprotected sex in order to be “normal.” A few months later, Rossi says she got pregnant. Rossi is suing for unspecified punitive damages, while also detailing incidents of anger and violence on Sheen’s part throughout their relationship. She claims he once tossed a cement pillar in her direction, for example, breaking a glass door as a result. Marty Singer, Sheen’s lawyer, says his client plans to fight the charges against him and is confident the truth will be on his side. Following weeks of rumors, Sheen told Matt Lauer in an interview on November 16 that he was diagnosed with the virus that leads to AIDS four years ago. He has gone silent since, though it’s very unlikely this is the last time we hear about an ex-sexual partner filing a lawsuit against the star.
