It’s official: The world’s already-considerable Duggar population is soon to increase by one! Following weeks of rumors that Jessa Duggar is pregnant with her second child , she and husband Ben Seewald made the news official in a statement issued to People magazine this morning: “We are overjoyed to announce that Spurgeon has a new title in life as ‘big brother!'” Jessa and Ben told the mag. “We are so thankful that God is adding to our family.” They added that their forthcoming bundle of joy is due in February.  As fans of the family’s reality shows know, Jessa and Ben married in November of 2014 following the usual chaste, Duggar-approved courtship. (The couple shared their first kiss only after they were announced as man and wife.) Almost exactly a year after their wedding, the Seewalds welcomed baby Spurgeon  into the world. The name’s a bit strange, but there’s no denying the kid is cute: View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Photos: Welcome #BabySeewald! Spurgeon is just shy of nine months old, so it’s safe to say that Jessa plans to keep the Duggar tradition alive by raising LOTS of little ones. As for rumors that Jessa and Ben planned to adopt , the couple hasn’t taken that option off the table. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Jessa stated that she and her husband would like to explore the possibility of adoption – while she contines to birth a small army the old-fashioned way: “We have many friends who have walked this road, so we have seen firsthand the amazing power of adoption,” Jessa said at the time. “There are so many kids out there who are longing for the love of a family, and we feel strongly about opening our hearts and our home to welcome them in. “We don’t know what the future holds, but as the Bible says, ‘Man plans his way, and God directs his steps,'” she continued. “So we want to move forward with paperwork and a home study, and just be ready for however God opens those doors.” So yeah, it’s safe to say you’ll be seeing a whole lot of little Seewalds entering the world one way or another in the coming years. Our sincere congrats go out to Jessa and Ben.  Now quit slacking, Jill and Derick! We know you’ve been out of the country, but there’s baby-makin’ to be done! Watch Counting On online for more of the ever-expanding Duggar clan. The show’s second season premieres tonight on TLC. We’re sure the network welcomes this last-minute burst of publicity!

Alleged Drug Trafficker Wears Old Man Disguise, Still Gets Arrested

We really try not to give props to probably drug traffickers at The Hollywood Gossip. It’s an unofficial company policy. HOWEVER: We must spend a few minutes talking about Shaun Miller. An alleged fugitive from justice, Miller was arrested on Thursday in Massachusetts … after he tried to disguise himself as an elderly man to evade police. The attempt was both hilarious and unsuccessful. “Officers ordered [31-year-old Shaun] Miller out of the residence and Miller, disguised as an elderly man, walked outside. “Upon further investigation, officers determined that the ‘elderly man’ was in fact Miller,” the Barnstable Police Department announced in a press release on Friday. You’ve gotta give Miller points for trying, right? You then need to take away a lot of points for the crimes he supposedly committed, of course. Numerous pictures released by the Barnstable Police Department feature Miller with and without the mask, while an additional image depicts the rubber mask after police asked Miller to take it off. See for yourself: Along with the mask, the authorities reportedly came across “two loaded weapons hidden in a laundry basket and nearly $30,000 in cash,” according to the release. So Miller isn’t a good dude, it seems. That’s important to remember. The arrest of Miller comes about four months after he was indicted for federal drug trafficking and was considered a fugitive, based on CNN reports. He was booked on a charge of possession of heroin with intent to distribute. The Barnstable Police Department could not be reached for comment. Miller, meanwhile, is scheduled to appear in court on August 31 and it is not clear if he has retained an lawyer or how he has pled against his charges. But what is clear is that we’ve never read a story quite like this before. View Slideshow: Strange But True News Hall of Fame

Lou Pearlman Dies; Backstreet Boys, ‘NSync Creator Was 62

Lou Pearlman, the infamous record producer who created such boy bands as The Backstreet Boys and ‘NSync, died in prison on Thursday, according to a Federal Bureau of Prisons record. He was 62 years old. The cause of death is believed to have been an undisclosed illness. Known in during the heyday of his career “Big Poppa,” Pearlman was one of the world’s most successful music producers in the 1990s. Based in Orlando, he created The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, LFO and O-Town. In 2000, however, members of The Backstreet Boys filed a lawsuit against their manager, claiming that Pearlman had set up their contract in an unfair manner. Via court documents, the band alleged that they had only received $300,000 …while Pearlman received millions. Soon afterwards, NSYNC also filed a similar lawsuit, as did Aaron Carter (pictured below with Pearlman) in 2002. Still, it wasn’t until 2006 when Pearlman got into real legal trouble. At that time, investigators discovered that he had defrauded investors of over $300 million in a Ponzi scheme. He did so by somehow convincing wealthy investors to put their money into shell corporations that did not exist. Pearlman fled to Indonesia in response to the charges and was captured in 2007. A year later, Pearlman pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering, conspiracy and fraud. He was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, although a judge ruled that Pearlman could reduce his prison time ; for every million he paid back, the judge would take one month off his sentence. Pearlman never paid a dime. “Word is that #LouPearlman has passed away,” Lance Bass wrote in response to this news, adding: “He might not have been a stand-up businessman, but I wouldn’t be doing what I love today w/out his influence. RIP Lou.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten Pearlman was a diabetic who suffered a stroke in 2010. “It was definitely a wake-up call,” he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time, adding that he had since lost 75 pounds by walking around the prison track. It’s unclear whether this disease contributed to his death. View Slideshow: 90s Boy Bands: Where Are They Now?

Ryan Lochte Tries Again, Takes "Full Responsibilty"

Ryan Lochte has changed his story once again. For the better this time, however. Back on August 14, Lochte told the public that he and three U.S. Olympic teammates were robbed at gunpoint in Rio. But authorities investigated the alleged incident and could no evidence of such an armed robbery, leading to the eventual admission by Lochte's teammates that they actually caused quite a drunken raucous at a gas station. They vandalized the property, security guards confronted them about it and at least one of these guards did draw a weapon, ordering the group to pay for the damage. After it became clear that Lochte had fudged the truth lied, he issued a half-hearted apology that did not go over very well at all. So Saturday evening, in a sit-down with Matt Lauer, Lochte tried again.  I'm taking full responsibility for it because I overexaggerated that story and if I never did that, we wouldn't be in this mess,” he shared. “Those guys would never be in Rio. None of this would have happened. It was my immature behavior.” The 12-time medal winner said he “definitely had too much to drink that night,” saying he’s unable to say whether he was robbed or extorted. “All I know is there was a gun pointed at us, and we were demanded to give money,” he said. Lochte left Brazil the day after the incident, but his teammates remained. They actually got pulled off a plane and had their passports confiscated until they spoke to authorities and told them the truth. “I let my team down,” Lochte said through tears to Lauer. “I don’t want them to think that I left them dry. I took away from their accomplishments by being immature for one night. That’s what hurts the most.” Six more minutes of Lauer's interview with Locthe will air on Monday. For now, though, Locthe seems to understand the mess he caused. “I’m embarrassed for myself… I know what I did was wrong,” he said. “All I can do now is better myself in making sure this stuff never happens again. “I don’t want them to look at me like a drunk frat boy. I definitely want to be a role model for those young kids.” WATCH SNIPPETS OF THE INTERVIEW HERE:

Kailyn Lowry on Dating Preferences: No White Guys For Me!

Last week, we learned that Javi Marroquin is dating someone new just months after separating from wife Kailyn Lowry. Today, we learned the identity of Javi’s new girlfriend , and while the split between Lowry and Marroquin seems to have been mostly amicable, it can’t be easy to have to see your ex-dude’s new boo all over the Internet. Maybe that’s why Kail is talking about her love life these days. Lowry is popular on Snapchat, where she often posts doodles that feature a stick-figure character she calls “bae.” One of her recent snaps led to this question from a fan on Twitter (social media is so confusing these days): “Why is bae black?!” Kail responded: “What do you mean why? Lmao im only down with the brown girl.” For many fans the comment brought to mind Farrah Abraham’s recent remark that she only dates white guys . The whole situation raises the question: Can two people say the exact opposite thing and both be offensive? View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Timeline of a Turbulent Teen Mom Life Apparently so, as folks on social media got pissed at both women. Here’s the thing: Everyone’s free to date whomever they want for whatever reason they want, and like it or not, you don’t have much say who you’re attracted to. That said, it always feels a little messy anyone screams their preferences from a roof top. Like, say you’re only attracted to people with a certain body type. That’s fine, but maybe you don’t need to broadcast that fact outside of say, a dating site, or some other context in which that information might be of use to strangers. Otherwise, you run the risk of making people feel unattractive simply because they don’t conform to your personal standards. We’re not judging, it’s just one of those troubling quandaries brought about by the Information Age. We’re all reaching more people on a daily basis than ever before, and as such, we might have to adapt and consider the things we say from angles we wouldn’t have had to previously. Did we just spend way too much time thinking about a tweet from a Teen Mom 2 star? You bet! Feel free to tear us a new one in the comments!

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel: Expecting Twins?!

For the second time this year, the tabloids want readers to believe that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are  going to be parents again . The newest issue of Life & Style has the news plastered on its cover. “The (Happiest) Shock Of The Lives,” the sub-headline read.  “How they’re preparing for life with three kids under three.” The parents of Silas, 1, “couldn’t be more thrilled,” a source allegedly told the tabloid. “They weren’t expecting it!” The weekly alleges that Biel went through a successful round of IVF, which resulted in twins. “Jess is doing really well right now,” the source added. “She’s glowing and happy.” Like any couple expecting imaginary twins, the Timberlakes are a little overwhelmed by the thought. “Their heads were spinning a little,” the source said. “But once they got used to the idea, they realized it was really the happiest shock of their lives. It’s still very new for them.”  Totes. “They’re so happy now,” the source said, also pointing out that there will be a two-year age gap between Silas and the babies. “They’re very excited to grow their family.”  Back in March, OK! made a similar claim. “They’re going to wait to find out the babies’ genders, but they both love the idea of having another boy and a girl,” yet another source said. During an appearance on Ellen, Biel accepted congratulations for the fake news. “I know, isn’t it exciting guys?” she joked. Having just given birth not even a year before , Biel was feeling good about her post-baby body until she saw the headline. “I don’t even know what to say about these things,” she told DeGeneres. “I feel like, man, I thought I was doing good with my yoga practice. I thought I was in the gym, but no, I have a gut apparently.” View Slideshow: Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake: Through the Years

Big Brother Spoilers: Who Will Be Evicted?

It looks like Paulie’s game will officially come to an end on Big Brother.  The house seems like they are done with Paulie after the way he’s acted recently.  He pled with Victor to use the veto on Corey so that he didn’t need to campaign against his ally. It was a nice touch, but Paulie is still ruffling feathers around the house.  He’s threatening to quit the jury house if there’s no opportunity for him to return to the game.  He’s the worst type of player. Deep down, he knows America is annoyed with him for his actions and doesn’t want to own up to them.  There’s still one more chance for someone to return to the game through the round trip twist, but there’s also a special episode airing this week.  Might there be a juror allowed to return to the game in the event Paulie does not have the return trip ticket? View Slideshow: 12 Big Brother Houseguests We Loved… Or Loved to Hate If Paulie does somehow return, he has a plan in place to get rid of Victor and Paul.  However, America’s next Care Package twist involves another houseguest being voted as co-hoh.  Paul’s side of the house still holds the votes, so expect Corey or Nicole to go up and out the door.  The events of the last week will no doubt push Nicole and Corey to try win the HOH hard than they have been.  Their backs have never been this far against the wall, so it’s time for them to actually play the game before being sent home.  The chances of Corey being voted co-hoh are pretty much non existent. He could get a pity vote because of his association with Nicole. Paulie won’t be winning any viewer voted perks. He’s emerging as the villain in all of this. Who do you want to leave the game? Hit the comments with your take on the recent events for the houseguests. View Slideshow: 13 Reality Show Villains You Really Love to Hate

Mother with HUGE Lips Can’t Stop Getting Plastic Surgery

It's time to meet Alia Byrne. And then to feel very badly for Alia Byrne. This British woman has lips that put Kylie Jenner to shame, but thing is… we shouldn't joke. As someone who suffers from body dysmorphia, Byrne clearly has a severe mental disorder. Despite her current appearance, as you'll see and learn about below, she can't stop getting plastic surgery… 1. As a Child This is what Byrne looked like as a child. Take note of lips. 2. As an Adult Now a single mother living in Liverpool, she has always wanted more plump lips. 3. It Begins… For her 29th birthday, Alia’s sister gave her money to get lip injections. 4. The Results? Since then, she’s had 6.5mL (that’s a lot) of fillers injected and spent $2,111 (also a lot of money, to her) on the procedures. 5. She Can’t Stop One procedure was not sufficient, however. Byrne has been unable to stop injecting her lips. 6. Still Not Good Enough Hard as it may be to believe, in her mind, these lips are still not big enough. View Slideshow

Rob Kardashian Gets Blac Chyna Tattoo on His NECK!

Oh, Rob Kardashian. We were a little leery of this whole Blac Chyna relationship from the start, but it seemed to be doing you some good. You lost some weight with Blac’s help ; you stopped living like a recluse and rejoined your famous family in its never-ending quest for more social media followers; you even patched things up with your sisters. And that was no mean feat, considering you spent the past few years doing everything in your power to burn those bridges. We’re talking unthinkable things, like getting engaged to your sister’s boyfriend’s baby mama. But we digress. The point is, we were skeptical at first, but there was a time when Blac seemed to be doing Rob some good. Now the whole thing is turning into the raging dumpster fire we were anticipating. It all seems to have started right around the time Rob got Blac pregnant , just one of the many life decisions that the couple made way, way too quickly. We’re not sure if the pregnancy was the cause, but for whatever reason, about the time that Blac announced she was knocked up, the cracks in her relationship with Rob began to show. Instantly, everywhere you looked there were indicators that all was not well in ChyRo world – and now we have this: Yes, Rob appears to have gotten “Angela” (Blac’s real first name) tattooed on his neck. Blac plans to go by “Angela Kardashian” once she and Rob get hitched, so since she’ll be cashing in on his last name, we guess it’s fitting that he wear her first name like a brand. This would be bad enough if these two were in a long-term, stable relationship. but they’re not. They’ve only been dating for a few months, and Rob and Blac just broke up  in July. Hopefully Rob can reach out to Johnny Depp for advice on how to alter this thing once the relationship goes south. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian: Their Relationship In 15 Photos

Farrah Abraham: Daughter Sophia KICKED OFF Snapchat!

Despite her mother’s best efforts, Sophia Abraham is occasionally guided in the right direction. Of course, this usually only happens after a third party intervenes or there’s such a massive public outcry that Farrah has no choice but to do the right thing. This time it was a combination of the two as Teen Mom fans and the admins at Snapchat simultaneously rose up and shouted, “Wtf are you doing?” at Farrah. You see, Farrah recently made the controversial decision to sign her daughter up for a Snapchat account . That would be fine, of course, were it not for the fact that little Sophia is only 7 years old. Given that the social media app originally took off in large part due to the fact that it allowed users to safely send nude photos, you can see why 7-year-olds having their own accounts might not be the best idea. Sure enough, the decision blew up in Farrah’s face almost immediately. Shortly after news of her account became public, Sophia posted a video in which she reportedly said: “Give me text, I’m coming for you … Give me more texts.” Yes, you’re right to feel uncomfortable right now. Apparently the plea worked, because Sophia later posted a video in which she said: View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Parenting Fails: A Brief History of WTF?! “Excuse me, you guys are texting me so much could you please stop. Everyone stop texting me. I have to go to bed.” Thankfully, Farrah either came to her senses or the fine folks at Snapchat did the parenting for her, because Sophia’s account is no longer active. Sadly, this is far from the first time that Farrah has encouraged wildly inappropriate behavior from her daughter. The most famous example, of course, being Sophia’s modeling career , but there are countless other cases. Remember the time Farrah involved Sophia in her feud with Nicki Minaj ? If you managed to block that out, congratulations. It’ll probably take Sophia years of therapy to accomplish that.
