Last month, we learned that Courtney Stodden is pregnant when the 21-year-old social media star reluctantly confirmed the news to Us Weekly. Since then, Stodden has revealed that she’s struggling with depression and has been open about the various joys and difficulties (Hooray for morning sickness!) with her many social media followers. Most have been supportive, but you know what they say about online commenters: a lot of them are douche bags! Okay, we may have just made that expression up, but the fact remains that Courtney is on the receiving end of some seriously harsh criticism these days. This is the picture that’s been stirring up controversy since yesterday. As you may have guessed, the issue is not with the Court’s ginormous diamond ring, but with the out-of-focus pill bottles in the background. She captioned the pic, “Diamonds are a girls best friend,” and yes, it was probably a bad idea to quote Marilyn Monroe (who died of a barbiturate overdose) on the icon’s birthday with bottles of pills in the background, but that hardly justifies some of the hateful comments on Courtney’s Instagram page. The concern trolls came out in force to criticize Courtney for “putting her baby at risk” by taking drugs. Fortunately, several fans came to her defense, including moms who attested that they were numerous medications during their own pregnancies. Basically there are two possibilities with this photo: One is that Courtney gave no thought to the pill bottles in the background and just wanted to show off her bling while paying tribute to one of her heroes. The other is that this is some sort of desperate but subtle cry for help. Either way, the answer is not to attack a depressed 21-year-old pregnant woman on social media.
Kim Kardashian is dead. No, not THAT Kim Kardashian. We’re sorry if you were confused there for a moment. As it turns out, Bette Midler revealed to People Magazine on Wednesday night that she owns a chicken named after the famous sex tape star… and that the animal sadly passed away from a yeast infection recently. The legendary singer – who is actually a farming enthusiast and reality TV lover – explained that all of the chickens she cares for in upstate New York are named after Kardashian sisters. Prior to talking to People at this week’s New York Restoration Project’s Spring Picnic event, Midler shared a meme that poked fun at her affection for these birds: She also Tweeted a reference to her chickens, writing the following: “Spent yesterday cleaning out the chicken coop …. The hens are Kim, Kourtney and Khloé. And they’re exactly like their namesakes!” There are way too many jokes we could make here. Midler, of course, has been a surprisingly outspoken critic of this famous family. She mocked Kim’s nude selfie in March by sharing one of her own and she laughed over the crazy Kardashian family tree after Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna announced their engagement. “If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera,” Midler hilariously wrote in response to Kardashian’s latest naked photo. She’s the best. View Slideshow: 15 Stars Who Really Hate the Kardashians
Bette Midler is the latest celebrity to make her feelings on Josh Duggar public. The reality star and his family, of course, continue to experience fallout over Duggar’s admission that he sexually molested multiple young girls when he was a teenager. In the wake of this heinous bombshell, TLC has pulled 19 Kids and Counting from its schedule, while Josh Duggar has resigned as Executive Director of FRC Action at the Family Research Council. Referencing this Christian nonprofit organization, whose agenda is partly to condemn the homosexual lifestyle as dangerous to children, Midler Tweeted on Monday: “Josh Duggar resigned from an anti-gay ‘family’ group due to molestation allegations. Kids, is there anything more delicious than irony?” Along with Midler, stars such Montel Williams and Ryan Reynolds have chimed in on the Duggar controversy, calling out the Duggars’ largely due to the family’s ongoing anti-gay agenda. Williams has blasted Duggar for being a scumbag, while Reynolds linked to an article online and essentially slammed the Duggars for acting as hypocrites . Ben Seewald’s father, however, has stood up for his son-in-law, claiming the media is simply out to get this Christian family. And, most recently, Amy Duggar posted about “peace” this past weekend, writing that word alongside a secluded, nature-filled image of trees surrounding a flowing stream of water. Do you think Josh Duggar deserves to get castigated for his actions? Do you think he has already repented and the world should move on? Do you think TLC should put 19 Kids and Counting back on the air? Or do you think it’s despicable that the network would allow a family who covers up a sexual molestation scandal to profit in any way, shape or form? So many questions. So many gross accusations. So many sordid controversies attached to this famous family… View Slideshow: 22 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals
Yesterday, music legend Bette Midler slammed Ariana Grande for her skimpy attire and overtly sexual music videos. While discussing Ari’s public image, Midler even went so far as to say, “You don’t need to make a whore of yourself to get ahead.” The OD (Original Diva) certainly went too far in her criticism, but anyone who’s seen Ariana’s “Love Me Harder” video (So much writhing!) can certainly see how it might not appeal to an old-school songstress in her late 60s. Of course, when Ms. Midler first hit the music scene nearly fifty years ago, she was just another young dreamer willing to do whatever it took to make her stage show stand out. This occasionally involved the use of provocative costumes and suggestive lyrics. So yeah, there’s a bit of pot-kettle-black hypocrisy going on, and that fact is reportedly not lost on Ari: Sources close to Grande tell TMZ the pint-sized pop star was outraged when she learned of Midler’s comments. The insiders claim Ariana was especially pissed because she often takes her career cues from Bette! Midler was arguably as well known for her ribald persona as for her music in the early years of her career. Bette was one of the first modern singers to specialize in risque performances at gay-friendly venues – a practice that Ariana paid homage to when she performed for free at a a gay club after her recent SNL performance. So yeah, it must suck to be called a whore, and it must suck even worse to be called a whore by one of your idols. It may be time for Bette to offer an apology. 29 Hottest Ariana Grande Photos 1.
