If you're feeling a bit down in the dumps about the state of our world this week, you're certainly not alone. That's why we're bring you this reminder that things could always be much, much worse. For example, “Mama June” Shannon could still have a TV show. As you may recall (congrats if you managed to block it out), Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled last year after the world learned that Shannon was dating a man who was convicted of molesting one of her daughters. Yeah, TLC sure knows how to pick 'em. Anyway, if you watch Marriage Boot Camp online , you know that Mama June and Sugar Bear are temporarily back in the spotlight, and they're just as trashily dysfunctional as ever. In the clip below we see June and SB participating in one of those dumb couples counseling reality show experiments in which they live in a house decorated with quotes of random crap that they've said to one another in the past. One of those quotes is “We never have sex anymore,” and as proof that there's still good in the world, June confirms that that's absolutely true. It's fantastic news, as it means that June won't be bringing more children into the world just to horribly mistreat them. Watch the clip below for confirmation of this mini-miracle.

Last night, Yolanda and David Foster announced their plans to divorce after four years of marriage. It was news that surprised almost everyone who watches The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In 2012, Yolanda was diagnosed with Lyme disease, and has since traveled the world in search of a cure. David has been by her side for much of the time, as the former model’s Instagrams have shown. Cracks began to show, however, as Yolanda’s health continued to deteriorate. ” Things really changed in their relationship as Yolanda got sick, and then when her health worsened,” a source told People . “David travels all the time and they simply weren’t spending any time together.” The couple sold their Malibu home for $19.45 million in October, according to Variety . On last night’s RHOBH premiere, Yolanda explained that she and her husband had moved to a condo he owned for easier access to medical care. “They just grew apart and the intense stress over her health and the disease was very hard on their marriage,” the source added. On December 1st, Yolanda’s co-star, Kyle Richards spoke about the split on Watch What Happens Live . “We didn’t know,” Richards told Andy Cohen. “But I think they’ve been struggling, and Yolanda’s been so sick and I don’t know if that has anything to do with anything, but it’s just so sad.” Yolanda and David were introduced through her ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid, with whom she has three children.

[ MadameNoire ] Black Friday Shopper Has To Lay Hands After Woman Snatched Box From Her Child … This pair of Black Friday shoppers [were] caught on someone’s camera phone at a Walmart store reportedly in Atlanta. After a stream of shoppers toppled over a display of merchandise in the middle of an aisle, a woman with absolutely no chill or good sense snatched a box from a little child whose mother stood behind him with two boxes of her own. The woman even attempted to snatch a box from the mom too and, as you can imagine, that didn’t go over well at all. In the video below, the mother appears to be attempting to put the shopper in a headlock while simultaneously reaching to take back the boxes the crazy lady tried to snatch. Sadly, we don’t know how the tussle ended but we hope both of them took their behinds home afterward.

Reports the New York Post: Rapper 50 Cent says he’s penniless — yet keeps a dozen bundles of $100 bills in his refrigerator.

These days, when you think of Anna Duggar, the Josh Duggar sex scandals are probably the first thing to enter your mind. However, even before she married Josh and gained fame as part of the extended 19 Kids and Counting clan, Anna's life was beset by family feuds and troubled relationships. Anna's brother and sisters have encouraged her to leave Josh , but some believe that her controlling mother and father forced her into the marriage despite countless red flags. Anna's devoutly religious parents and rebellious siblings may not have engaged in any bad behavior on par with Josh's, but they're also not as squeaky-clean as you might think. Check out our run-down of the Keller family's darkest secrets in the gallery below. 1. Anna Was FORCED to Marry Josh? Anna knew about the allegations that Josh had molested four of his sisters before she agreed to marry him. She accepeted his proposal anyway, some say at her parents’ insistance. 2. The Kellers Remain Devoted to Disgraced Minister Bill Gothard Like the Duggars, the Kellers joined Bill Gothard’s Institute in Basic Life Principles several decades ago. Unlike the Duggars, the Kellers have yet to distance themselves from the minister, who is currently under investigatuon for sexual abuse. 3. Mike Keller Led a “Life of Sin” in His Youth Anna’s sister, Priscilla, has revealed that her father was prone to bad behavior before he converted to Christianity at 19, but she has repeatedly refused to go into detail. “God truly redeemed my dad’s life from sin and gave him a tremendous freedom from the past.” 4. Mike Keller is Estranged From the Rest of the Family None of the family has any contact with Anna’s older brother, Mike. Anna’s parents and sister have refused to reveal why this is the case. 5. Susanna Keller Has Also Cut Ties Anna’s younger sister, Susanna Keller, had a baby out of wedlock as a teen. Now 23, Susanna has moved to Texas and renounced her family’s fundamentalist ways. 6. Anna’s Oldest Sister is Getting a Divorce Anna’s oldest sister, Rebekah McDonald, is in the process of getting a divorce. That’s a major no-no in the insanerly strict Keller family. View Slideshow
Jim Bob Duggar has a message for all his fellow fathers out there, though said message may be targeted toward one struggling dad in particular. Is he sending a thinly-veiled message to Josh Duggar, his first-born son who is currently toiling away in a Christian sex rehab labor camp? No one knows with certainty. But when the patriarch pens an open letter on the family website, urging dads to become the “coach of your home”? It sure as crap reads like that’s his intended audience. Jim Bob begins by encouraging fathers to be “spiritual leaders” by sharing a very personal story of the time his wife, Michelle, suffered a miscarriage. Going through that while she was on birth control, he says, shaped their views on children (and clearly, they take those views seriously). “We had been rejecting His gifts,” Jim Bob wrote . “We prayed and asked God to forgive us and we gave Him this area of our lives.” “We said, ‘Lord, help us to love children the way that you love children,’ and Lord, we want to receive each one as a gift from you.'” Jim Bob says that in order to be a leader, it’s urgent that fathers ask forgiveness from Jesus, their significant other and children. He also suggested that dads remove all “books, magazines, television or Internet that have worldly or sensual content” from the home. View Slideshow: 11 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family To protect one’s family, this is crucial, he advises: “Replace them with good things, [such as] wholesome music, biographies of great Christians, good old-fashioned family fun and games.” This open letter comes just days after we learned that some members of the Duggar family have visiting and encouraging Josh in rehab . It’s not the first time we’ve heard the Duggars hate on worldly or sensual content , nor is it at all surprising that they would do just that. The timing is curious, though, amid conflicting reports regarding the state of Josh’s fractured marriage to the long-suffering Anna Duggar. Having admitted an online porn addiction and being “unfaithful” to Anna earlier this summer, Josh has been on thin ice to say the least. Still, he’s not giving up with out a fight, and some sources say he’s pushing Anna to have another baby to help save the marriage (really). Anna Duggar: Heartbroken Over Josh in New Special On the flip side, others speculate that Anna is finally leaving Josh after porn star Danica Dillon sued him for giving her rough-sex-induced PTSD. Meanwhile, Anna is breaking her silence. “It was heartbreaking to hear, what had happened,” an emotional Anna, 27, said in a promo for TLC’s Jill and Jessa: Counting On released Friday. At this point, it remains unclear exactly what Anna is planning, and even where Josh is. Rumors suggest he may have bailed on rehab months early. A plane carrying Jim Bob and two of his sons was spotted Friday at an airport in Rockford, Ill., near the facility where Josh is (or was) being treated. Insiders say the plane was on the ground for several hours, before taking back off to Springdale, Arkansas, where the Duggar family resides. The plot thickens.

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett are doing so well these days, it’s almost as if the couple faked its drama for multiple seasons of Kendra on Top. How else to explain the satisfied place in which these stars find themselves after delivering so much drama on something called WE tv? “They’re doing good,” a source tells E! News about Kendra and Hank . “Now that the show is over, they’re trying to stay out of the media for a little while.” There’s something we’d love to see. Way back in 2013, Baskett allegedly had his penis touched by a transgender model named Ava London. She claimed the two had an affair and even passed a lie detector test as one point that proved as much. But Baskett has also claimed the “relationship” was far more innocuous, mostly consisting of a random meeting and some soft petting of private parts. Those who watch Kendra on Top online or on television have seen Wilkinson and Baskett absolutely go off on each other as a result, with the former unable to forget and the latter questioning when the marriage will ever be given a real chance. View Slideshow: Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett: So in Love? But Kendra posted on her Instagram page two weeks ago a photo from reality series, one that depicted her and her husband enjoying a hug. “What was your favorite part of the#KendraOnTop finale??” she wrote as a caption. “This was mine LOL.” The E! insider concludes that Kendra and Hank are currently “focusing on kids and doing things like parent-teacher conferences together,” adding: “Little Hank is super active and both kids keep them very busy.” So there you have it. Kendra is not hating on Hank and she’s not ” on the prowl ,” despite what past reports have alleged. Things are calm and normal. At least until the stars are offered another reality show season, that is. View Slideshow: 13 Stars Who Prove Women Can Be Douchebags, Too
