Jill Duggar: TRYING to Piss Off Jim Bob With New Eye-Popping Pics?!

There was a time when Jill Duggar was Jim Bob and Michelle’s golden child. Jana Duggar is still single ; John David took his sweet time getting hitched, and we all know what happened with Josh. So there’s a good chance that Jim Bob and Michelle looked at Jill and the life she had built for herself and felt it had taken them four tries to get it right. But then something unexpected happened. After doing everything she was supposed to — getting married; having kids; covering her legs in floor-length denim, even during blistering Arkansas summers — Jill decided to rebel. We don’t mean that she took up smoking or developed a fondness for the music of Marilyn Mason, mind you. No, Jill rebelled by Duggar standards, which means she engaged in behavior that no one outside of the evangelical community would consider rebellious. Earlier this week, Jill attended the pre-k graduation ceremony of Joshua Gonzalez, son of her close friend Danielle Gonzalez. And a pic of Jill during the festivities has fans thinking she just doesn’t care what Jim Bob thinks anymore. “Thank you comadre @jillmdillard for always being there for us and for coming out to celebrate Joshua’s graduation!!” Danielle captioned the pic. A thoroughly innocent occasion, and not the kind of photo that anyone would take issue with. Unless that person’s name happened to be Jim Bob Duggar. Jill’s shorts are a flagrant violation of the Duggar dress code , which compels women to wear long skirts at all times. While the women are only required to wear skirts that go past their knees, for the most part, they play it safe and sport the floor-length look. But once the women marry and leave the house, it’s their husbands, not Jim Bob, who get to decide what they wear. And it seems this new generation of evangelical men is considerably more permissive. When Jinger Duggar began wearing pants  back in 2017, she broke the mold — and some of her sisters soon followed suit. This is not the first time we’ve seen Jill wear shorts , but on the previous occasion she was hiking — and they weren’t this short. So is Jill actually trying to send a message to her father here? Or was it just a hot day and she wanted to feel comfortable? Either way, we applaud her for asserting her independence. View Slideshow: Duggar Daughters’ Raciest Outfits Revealed: What Dress Code?!

Demi Lovato Also Thinks Bachelorette Suitor Luke Parker is Full of Crap

Demi Lovato just started watching The Bachelorette for the first time. But the singer has already come to the same conclusion about early front-runner Luke Parker as many an experienced viewer of this franchise. Which is to say the following: Lovato thinks star Hannah Brown should run as far away from this suitor as possible. Heck, jump a fence if she needs to. Just do NOT give this man another rose, Demi says. Lovato watched the episode two of The Bachelorette season 15 one day after it originally aired on Monday, May 20 — and felt the need to pass along a very simple message to Brown immediately afterward. “Hannah, honey, do not trust him!!!!!!” she captioned a clip of the dating series on her Instagram Stories. Why does Lovato feel this way? Because Parker dropped the L Bomb on Hannah this week , like a day after meeting her for the first time. After Luke told Hannah that he’s “starting to fall in love” with her, despite it being extremely early in the season, Lovato’s reaction was clear: “Huh?! How?!” she wrote. “I’m uncomfortable. I’m cringing,” Lovato added. She wasn’t alone in feeling this way. Most observers don’t understand how Parker should say such a thing at this point in the show’s run — unless, of course, he’s just spewing a bunch of seemingly romantic crap in order to end up in a Fantasy Suite with Hannah down the line. In other words: He may be on this show for the wrong reasons. Parker spilled his love-themed tea while on stage in front of many other contestants, setting up quite the awkward situation for all involved. But Hannah seemed to buy it. She had previously given Luke her First Impression Rose and she then crowned him Mr. Right after this week’s group date pageant. “He was the person that I had the first real, indescribable connection with… And if anybody was going to say it, I would more so believe Luke out of anybody,” Hannah said on air, adding this past Monday: “[But] at the end of the night, I started questioning it a little bit too.” She also started making out with Parker a lot, though, so she must have come up with her own answers to those questions. Lovato isn’t the only celebrity who is down on Luke Parker . On his podcast last week, former Bachelor anchor Nick Viall laid into the aspiring husband very hard. “I really f-cking hate him ,” Viall said of Parker, mocking the suitor for saying that God spoke to him in the shower a little while back and told him to stop having so much random sex. “He’s a terrible human being,” Viall added, prior to Tweeting: Luke P seems like the type of guy who is capable of being really shitty and then defends his action by saying ‘Only God can judge me.’ Not true Luke, I’m judging you right now. Also, i hate your tie. #theBachelorette. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out Hannah Brown’s Final THREE! [UPDATED] But the question remains: Will Hannah love or hate Luke in the end?

Leah Messer: Of COURSE Jenelle Evans Lost Custody of Her Kids!

Look, we all know that Jenelle Evans isn't having the greatest time right now. That's because her whole entire life is pretty much falling apart right now. We haven't heard too much from her former Teen Mom 2 costars about the latest developments — the CPS investigation, her children being taken from her home — and that makes sense. But now, Leah Messer is sharing her thoughts about it all. And honestly, we couldn't agree with her more … 1. Yay, Leah! Leah really does seem to be in an amazing place these days, right? 2. So Nice to See She looks so happy and healthy, and that’s a huge change from just a few years ago. 3. Uh Oh While giving birth to her youngest daughter, she experienced some pretty serious complications that left her in a lot of pain. She was prescribed painkillers, then she got addicted to them. She also got addicted to Valium, something she was prescribed around the same time to deal with anxiety. 4. Bad Times Teen Mom fans noticed something was off about her when she was shown nodding off a few times on the show — you can see how bad she looked in the screenshot above. 5. Divorce Her descent into addiction was what caused her husband at the time, Jeremy Calvert, to divorce her, and although she did go off to rehab, she still struggled to put her life back together for a while after. 6. Rock Bottom? At one time, she even lost custody of her twins to their father, Corey Simms, when she was unable to get them to school on time. View Slideshow

Jeannie Mai Reveals She Was Sexually Abused At 9 And Mama Mai Didn’t Believe Her

Source: Araya Diaz / Getty Jeannie Mai Opens Up About Being Sexually Abused By A Family Member *Trigger Warning* Story details explicit sexual abuse. Jeannie Mai is opening up about a traumatic experienc e from her childhood that caused her to stop speaking to her mom for over 10 years. In a recent youtube clip, Jeannie says around the age of 9 her mom took on a second job, leaving her in the care of her abuser. We needed to find a babysitter, so we called upon a family member. He came over every single day and stayed with me after school.” She does not name her abuser,  but Jeannie says he was “16 or 17” and became an “iconic person” in her life who she looked up to at the time. Her mom also thought he was a well-behaved teenager and was being helpful at the time. “I just remember one day this person sitting very close to me, we were playing video games, and he started to touch my thigh. I was also just stunned because I had never been intimately touched like that so I couldn’t tell if it was wrong, I just knew I was noticing it.” As the days went on, Jeannie says the touching progressed into him taking off her clothes, exposing himself to her and instructing her on how to touch him. When she told her mom, she didn’t get the reaction she was hoping for. “I remember him pulling me into that shower and it was the first time I have a seen a grown man and what he looked like,” she recalls. “I remember him telling me to touch him in certain ways.This happened every day for a few weeks, and then it turned into months and I remember one year going by,” she adds. “I didn’t say anything because I was afraid I began to get angry because now I’m telling my mom that he’s taking off my clothes and you said, ‘I don’t believe you. Unfortunately, Mama Mai’s denial of the situation caused the abuse to continue. Jeannie eventually ran away from home at 16. “When I don’t believe it, I just let it go,” says Mama Mai, explaining that what she was hearing from her daughter didn’t match up with the person she thought she knew. “I don’t see anything bad about him.” Here is the entire video of Jeannie’s explaining what she went through. It’s an emotional video.

Lisa Vanderpump Probably Wishes She Hadn’t Made That Transgender Joke Right About Now

Lisa Vanderpump really did go there on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this week. And we’re guessing the veteran reality star is having some regrets over it right about now. Allow us to set the scene and explain… On Tuesday night’s episode of this long-running hit, Vanderpump agreed to take a lie detector test to prove she never leaked information about Dorit Kemsley failing to return a puppy. (That’s a whole other thing. You can read about it HERE .) Upon sitting down for this polygraph, Vanderpump made the following joke: “Just don’t ask me if Erika’s tucking or something like that because there are some things I can’t lie about.” Vanderpump then doubled over with laughter, but few observers found this remark to be especially funny. Most, in fact, think it’s pretty darn insensitive. For whatever reason, Vanderpump thought it would be downright hilarious to imply that Erika Jayne has a penis. Aside from being silly and immature, this is a rather rude remark; it turns the legitimate topic of transgender identity into a joke. Or, even worse, a diss. And Lisa Rinna was among the first to call her fellow reality star out for this quip, Tweeting:  Who knew Lvp was transphobic? Well, we know NOW! #LBGTQ. As soon as the episode aired on Tuesday, Candis Cayne also jumped in with a critique of Vanderpump. “Oh come on @lisavanderpump joking about @erikajayne ‘tucking’ Ugly Trans jokes marginalizing our community are not acceptable. “Being an ally doesn’t give you a free pass To make transphobic remarks. Do better,” Cayne wrote. Jayne, who has not commented directly on Vanderpump’s attempt at an insult, did re-Tweet Cayne’s message. As Cayne mentions above, Vanderpump certainly has been a strong ally of the LBGTQ community for years. She has often hosted parties at her restaurants in honor of gay pride parades and/or events. But this simply means she ought to be extra aware that words matter and perceptions matter and it hurts the cause she aims to support when she turns an important aspect of it into a punchline. There are countless transgender individuals out there who are harassed on a daily basis. There are people out there who really do “tuck,” as Vanderpump joked on this installment, and they are likely appalled that Vanderpump would use this lifestyle as a way to take a jab at her rival.

Will Smith Refuses To Watch Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk: They’re Tellin’ All Our Business!

Will Smith adores his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and supports her in all of her endeavors.  However — when it comes to her new Facebook series Red Table Talk , he just can’t .  Will deems his wife’s show “fantastic,” yet he doesn’t seem to be a recurring viewer. Or just a viewer at all, for that matter.  Jada co-hosts the half-hour talk show with her daughter Willow Smith and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones. It premiered last year and it has since generated a lot of buzz thanks to the variety of celebrity guests discussing (extremely) personal topics.  Sex, mental illness, divorce, cheating with your best friend’s sister’s BF … yeah, no subject is off limits at the Red Table. Host Jada even got super real on her latest episode — which, just taking a stab at it, is maybe the reason Will can’t bear to watch?? On Monday’s Red Table Talk episode, Jada came clean about one of her past addictions — porn!  Jada, her daughter Willow, and Jada’s mom all sat together to discuss their past porn-watching habits.  You know, just a casual mother-daughter chat! “Back in the day, I had a little porn addiction, but I wasn’t in a relationship, believe it or not… thank goodness,” Jada said.  Adding, “I actually feel like I was using ‘addiction’ a little lightly.” “And maybe I’ll say now that I had an unhealthy relationship to porn at one point in my life where I was trying to practice abstinence.”  Meanwhile, Willow also got (way too) candid with her mom and grandmother about how she was “around 11” when she started watching porn on Tumblr.  “I remember the first time I went on Willow’s Tumblr, she was 10 or 11,” Jada recalled.  “She was very matter-of-fact, she was like, ‘I’m going to my Tumblr page, but as we’re going to the Tumblr page, you’re going to see a lot of stuff. This has nothing to do with me.'” “I was like, ‘Okay.’ So she’s just scrolling, scrolling. And when I tell you I saw some of the most hard-core pornography on Tumblr.”  Grandma Adrienne brought us back to reality saying, “I cannot believe that I’m having this conversation with my daughter and granddaughter!”  And I think we can all see now why dad Will isn’t tuning in… The Aladdin actor has appeared on the show to talk with his wife about their marriage , but overall, he says, “No, I don’t watch it.” “They’re tellin’ all our business,” Will said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, adding that his family members don’t run the topics by him beforehand.  “It’s actually fantastic, the episodes I could bear,” he explained.  “And they sit down, and it’s really wide open, raw conversation across the generations about a cornucopia of topics.” “Even a pornocopia of topics,” Jimmy joked to Will.  “Absolutely, yeah, porn addiction I think was the topic. Yeah, there was one of those,” Will said.  “They all go into a blur, you know.” Kimmel then asked Will, “Who is the most upsetting to hear talk about that? Your daughter? Your wife? Or your mother-in-law?” “It’s all bad,” Will said, smiling.  The actor has his own Facebook Watch show too, the docu-series Will Smith’s Bucket List , which has also featured his family members.  His show is definitely less serious and more comical — you know, very Will Smith-y.  Will can further be seen as the Genie in Disney’s upcoming live-action Aladdin reboot, which is set for release this   Friday!  View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Attacks Jordyn Woods, Gets DRAGGED on Twitter

Larissa Lima Shuts Down Trolls Who Call Her a Gold Digging Skank

Earlier this week, 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star  Larissa Lima explained shy she had “abandoned” her two kids in Brazil. But fans have a lot of questions about a lot more than just her family. Some of the questions that Larissa receives on social media, day in and day out, are downright cruel. Despite the mean-spiirited origins of many of these questions, Larissa decided to respond. In some cases, her answers are illuminating. In others, it's just fun to watch her casually deflect the hate that trolls spew at her. Take a look: 1. Larissa Lima answered fan questions Unfortunately, in this case, the term “fan” is fairly relative. Larissa was bombarded with some of the nastiest, cruelest messages. The real surprise is how many she answered. … 2. What gives her strength? “God, family, and friends,” Larissa answers. But she’s the first to admit that she invites adversity. “I do like to be controversial,” she confesses. “I believe it is better than boring.” 3. But why is she so darn dramatic? Larissa cites having watched La Usurpadora, a 1990s telenovela. Paola Bracho is an infamous television villain from that series. 4. Did she really get nothing from Coltee? “My green card was canceled,” Larissa grimly confirms. “I’m still the one responsible for my success.” 5. Why doesn’t she talk about Colt? Larissa cites her divorce agreement, which forbids either party from disparaging the other. For Larissa and Colt, that basically means that they can’t even discuss the other. Larissa asks that people stop asking her about Colt. 6. Is she a gold digger? No, Larissa says that she is a founding member of the “cheap digger strong women club.” Left with nothing, she notes, she is “with my own strength building my life.” View Slideshow

Rebecca Gayheart: I Was Suicidal After Killing That Boy

Actress Rebecca Gayheart is reflecting on a tragic event from her past. On The Only One in the Room podcast, Gayheart opened up about the June 13, 2001 car accident that resulted in the death of a 9-year-old boy , Jorge Cruz Jr.  “I had a very terrible accident happen,” she explained.  “A 9-year-old child died. And you know, everything changed from that, and I still have trouble talking about it.” Rebecca explained the event, telling host Laura Cathcart that she was driving when a car in front of her hit the brakes. To avoid hitting the car, Rebecca panicked and swerved around it.  “If a car in front of you hits their brakes and they stop, you don’t go around them to avoid hitting them,” she advised, reflecting on her own mistake.  “You hit them because there’s a reason they’re stopping.” “I couldn’t see that reason, but that is something that everyone should know,” she said.  The Beverly Hills, 90210 actress noted that Cruz was crossing the street to chase after his soccer ball when she accidentally struck him.  She was not on drugs or under the influence.  Cruz died from the injuries sustained the following day and Gayheart paid the family $10,000 for funeral expenses, according to People .  As expected, Rebecca says she “did not cope very well after.”  “I just didn’t want to live after that accident… I couldn’t handle it at all,” she explained.  “I spent about a year just trying to kill myself basically by doing every self-destructive thing a person can do because I just didn’t understand…any of it.” Gayheart suffered from PTSD following the incident and had ongoing nightmares.  The star said that to this day she continues to replay the accident in her head, wondering what she could’ve done to prevent the unfortunate situation. “I still have those questions, but today I am able to ponder those questions and still realize that I deserve to be happy,” she said.  “And that I am meant to be on this planet and that I have a purpose and I’m making living amends for that even though it was an accident.” Adding, “[I] can’t imagine what his parents are still feeling like.”  After pleading no contest to vehicular manslaughter in November 2001, the actress was sentenced to probation, a one-year suspension of her license, a $2,800 fine, and 750 hours of community service.  She also settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the child’s parents out of court.  Thanks to her 750 hours of community service, she began volunteering with Chrysalis, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping homeless and low-income individuals by providing resources and support to gain employment.  “I just found my place,” she said, crediting the people she met through her work with saving her life.  And when the organization was struggling financially, she helped create the Butterfly Ball, which has been raising money since 2002.  “Being at Chrysalis reinforced what my purpose was and that I did need to be alive,” Rebecca said of the organization.  We are just glad that after many years  she has been able to find peace  and stay in a healthier headspace.  These days, Gayheart keeps busy by balancing her acting career as well as being a mom to her two daughters Billie, 9, and Georgia, 7 – whom  she shares with ex-husband Eric Dane .
