Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to Adopt 20th Child?!

To say it’s been a rough year for Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar would be putting it very mildly. The Josh Duggar sex scandals  damaged their family’s reputation seemingly beyond repair and led to the cancelation of the TLC reality series that had been their livelihood for seven years. Now, however, it looks as though Michelle and Jim Bob may be planning to kill two birds with one stone by adding to their massive brood and distracting the public from the ugly events of the past year all at the same time. According to Life & Style , the Duggars are planning to adopt a child , bringing their total number of offspring to a nice round 20. “They’ve been mulling it over for a long time, and they feel the time is right to get legal advice and get the process underway,” a source tells the tabloid. “They’re looking to adopt a child in the New Year.” The source says the Duggars have no preference with regard to the child’s sex, ethnicity or age: “Michelle says she doesn’t care if they adopt a boy or a girl, or what ethnicity the child is. She says she just wants to help a child’s life.” View Slideshow: Duggar Family Marriage Tips: Yes, These Are Real Quotes The Duggars have long been open about their desire to welcome another kid.

Two-Strand Twists And Thin Locs Now Approved In The Marine Corps

The Marine Corps has finally gotten around to revising those controversial hair regulations that banned women serving the country from wearing natural hairstyles like braids, locs, afros and “matted and unkempt” hair. In a Marine Corps administrative message released Monday, two new hairstyles were approved for Black female marines: two-strand twists and thin locs. According to the memo, the decision was made by the Marine Corps Uniform Board in October, based on a request from Marine Staff Sgt. Cherie Wright of II Marine Expeditionary Force, who said in a statement: “For some, this change is culturally liberating, has financial benefits and is simply convenient.” As pointed out by Military.com, the newly approved hairstyles “come with extensive restrictions to ensure they appear neat in uniform.”… [ MadameNoire ] I Think People Are Missing The Point Of The “Natural Hair Movement” … If you go natural, you’re usually not the only woman in a room or train car who is… Nowadays, you don’t have to go it alone. But with every movement, some find a way to try and create division. Some people decide that we need to dictate the rules of what it truly means to be natural. Of what it means about your self-esteem if you’re still one of the few women getting consistent relaxers. Some complain about the lack of representation of different hair types on TV and in ads. And simple systems meant to help you find the right products for your hair type become something like teams, where some say the struggle of 3B hair is nowhere near as real as that of a woman with 4C hair. And that’s where the meme you see above comes in… [ MadameNoire ] Tom Ford’s Drake Lipstick Sells Out In Minutes The combination of a Drake and a Tom Ford lipstick line may have initially been punching bag fodder for the rapper’s already metrosexual image but as of today, December 15, all parties involved are laughing all the way to the bank. Marie Claire is reporting that the kissy makeup accessory sold out on Net-a-Porter.com in a matter of minutes of going on sale. The purpose of the line is to mimic the color of a male’s lips for females to wear in adoration. The burgundy shade of Tom Ford Beauty Lips and Boys Lip Color, Drake is retailed at just $35.00 and is still available in store at Saks Fifth Avenue, but consumers who want that “Hotline Bling” under the mistletoe had better get moving.

Farrah Abraham: Will She Be FIRED From Teen Mom?!

Earlier this week, a preview for the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2 showed  Farrah Abraham attacking a producer of the show during one of her signature fits of rage. Teen Mom Season 5 Trailer: The OGs Are BACK! The victim was beloved co-executive producer Larry Musnik, and several members of the Teen Mom cast have called for Teen Mom to be fired . Of course, for MTV execs, axing Farrah would mean parting ways with one of the network’s most reliable sources of ratings-grabbing drama. Even so, they’re reportedly considering letting go of Farrah for good, as sources say she’s become too much of a liability for the popular Teen Mom franchise. “They are very unhappy with her,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “There is so much animosity and tension between Farrah and everyone behind the scenes.” Even cast members from other Teen Mom installments, such as Leah Messer, have weighed in and expressed their belief that Farrah was way out of line in attacking Musnik . This isn’t the first time that the other moms have taken issue with Farrah’s behavior, and it likely won’t be the past, but MTV has proven unwilling to cut ties with Farrah in the past. And it’s certainly not hard to see why. Love her or hate her, no one stirs things up quite like Ms. Abraham. Watch Teen Mom online to relive some of Farrah’s most bonkers moments.

Kate Gosselin: Plans to Adopt a NINTH Child Revealed!

A new season of Kate Gosselin’s reality show premiered on TLC this week, and even though Kate Plus 8 ratings have hit an all-time low, interest in the 40-year-old’s sordid past has never been higher. Excerpts from Gosselin’s diary, which were originally published in Robert Hoffman’s tell-all, Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World , have been making the rounds online, and many fans and Kate-haters alike have been surprised by the bombshell revelations they contain. Yesterday, we shared a passage in which Kate admits to physically abusing her children . Today’s entry shows a different side of the famously unstable mother of eight, as Kate writes about her desire to adopt a ninth child from Korea.  “Lately Jon and I have been talking about adopting our baby from Korea,” she wrote in an entry from December 24, 2006. “Jon is not totally opposed to the idea and is actually nicely entertaining the idea, which is quite nice for me!” Yes, it seems there was a time when Kate was eager to add to her already massive brood. Thankfully, she didn’t go through with it. Kate Plus 9 just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Oh, and there’s also that whole business about her being a horribly abusive mother. Watch Kate Plus 8 online at TV Fanatic to remind yourself why it’s a very good thing that Kate doesn’t have more kids.

David Foster: Yolanda Foster Does NOT Have Lyme Disease!

Back in 2012, Yolanda Foster was diagnosed with Lyme disease , and her health has deteriorated steadily in the years since. Earlier this week, the reality star’s world unraveled further when it was announced that Yolanda and David Foster are divorcing after four years of marriage. Now, those two seemingly unrelated challenges are colliding in unexpected fashion, as Radar Online reports that David has joined the ranks of those who believe that Yolanda is faking her illness .  “David is telling friends he believes she was cured of it long ago, but she’s been playing up ongoing symptoms because she enjoys the attention,” says one insider. Unlike some Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast members who think Yolanda was never sick, David believes his wife was very ill at one point, but hasn’t been experiencing severe symptoms like the ones she describes for several years. There was no doubt Yolanda was struggling and David was there to support her,” the source said. “In the beginning, David went with her to all of her doctor’s appointments, including the overseas trips for other treatment.” David tells friends, however, that as time went on “Yolanda just seemed to really enjoy all of the attention she was getting.” He reportedly claims the problem got worse after Yolanda’s daughter, Gigi Hadid, began to gain international fame. “Her oldest daughter, Gigi was becoming a very successful model, and it seemed hard for Yolanda, a former model herself, to watch her child get so much attention,” says the source. “Getting older seems to have been very hard for Yolanda. Now, it looks like she isn’t ready to give up the role of sick patient.” Is it possible that Yolanda’s “illness” is simply a symptom of a severe mid-life crisis. If so, the beloved Housewife may soon fall out of favor with many of her fans. Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online  to decide for yourself if Yolanda is really sick – or really good at faking it.

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!

Rob Kardashian: Outrageous Demands Spark War With Kris Jenner!!!

Hokay. The Kardashian Christmas card has most likely been shot and mailed at this point, but stories about Rob Kardashian demanding payment for his appearance are still on the interwebs. Back in November, Life & Style reported that Rob demanded $250,000 to take part in the annual photo, but Kris Jenner gave him the nah-nah. Now, Celebrity Dirty Laundry claims that Rob’s minimum ask is $50,000 (reasonable, given Kim’s fees), and Kris is trying to “keep her feud” with her son “quiet.” CDL also claims that things were fine between Rob and his family until Lamar Odom was hospitalized; Rob accused his mother of capitalizing on Lamar crisis by bringing a camera crew to the hospital. Several reports allege that Rob didn’t spend Thanksgiving with his family, which Kris denied on Maria Menounos’ SiriusXM show December 1st. According to Kris, Rob sat down to dinner at Khloe Kardashian’s home, but left afterwards to hang out with friends.   The family photo that Kylie Jenner posted to Instagram that day happened after Rob was gone. “He lives with Khloe, so he was around and then went over to a buddy’s house,” Kris explained. Rob has distanced himself from the family brand for the past few years, but his mother is hoping for the best. “He’s doing alright, he’s doing his best,” Kris told Menounos.  “He’s gonna be OK.” View Slideshow: 11 Times Kris Jenner Was Completely F—ing Over It

Kim Kardashian: Stressed Out, Hiring Extra Nannies, Source Claims

As you’ve probably heard by now, Kim Kardashian gave birth to a son earlier this week. Kim endured a difficult pregnancy and an intensely painful delivery, so insiders say she was doubly thrilled to welcome her bouncing baby boy into the world. Then she named him Saint for some reason, but that’s a gripe for another time. Anyway, Kim just returned home with her new bundle of joy a couple days ago, and while she’s undoubtedly relieved to have her second pregnancy over with and her second baby safe at home, sources say she’s already feeling the strain of having a toddler and an infant under the same roof. “Kim and Kanye are definitely going to be hiring extra help,” a source close to the family tells Radar Online. “It is already way too much for them to handle and it has only been three days!” Kim reportedly fretted that she “wasn’t ready” for another child throughout her pregnancy, and now it seems her worst fears may be coming true. “She can barely take care of one,” says the source. “But having a second child [has given] her even more reason to hire more help.” Well, we hate to hear that Kim is feeling so overwhelmed. But hey, if there’s any couple that can afford to hire some extra help, it’s Kimye.  View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Pregnant Pics: Big Bump! Even Bigger Boobs!

Heidi Montag’s Dad: I’m Not Guilty of Incest and Sexual Assault!

Cripes o Rama. Heidi Montag’s dad, William, 68, was charged earlier this year with both “aggravated incest” and ” sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust,” according to Radar Online . William denies the charges, which took place over fifteen years ago, and claims he’s innocent. “Allegations were brought forward by a woman, who is now an adult, who had alleged a sexual assault a little more than 15 years ago during a period of time when she was between 14 and 17,” Arapahoe County, CO Capt. Larry Etheridge said. Several sources confirm that neither Heidi nor her older sister, Holly were victims of these crimes. There were allegedly 50 separate incidents between 1996 and 1998 “involving oral sex and sex toys,” according to Rada r. “His life is in ruins now — even if he’s proven innocent that dark cloud will still loom over him,” a family friend told the Mail Online of William at the time.
