Nicole Trunfio is an Australian model best known to many for sometimes taking off her clothes. And that’s exactly what Nicole Trunfio is doing on the cover of Elle… but for a very different reason than usual. The brunette beauty is trending on Facebook today because she’s breastfeeding her baby for all to see, as Trunfio becomes the latest famous female to stand up for this personal and parental cause. “There is nothing more powerful and beautiful than motherhood,” Trunfio wrote on her social media page along with this picture. “The last thing I want to do is be controversial, so please take this for what it is, let us #normalizebreastfeeding. there is nothing worse than a mother that is judged for feeding her hungry child in public.” Except mothers get judged for this act all the time. A breastfeeding ad campaign that depicted mothers forced to hide out in dirty bathrooms went viral last year and stirred up its own controversy. “I’m so proud of this cover and what it’s stands for,” Trunfio added. “I obviously don’t look like this or wear while I am breastfeeding but this stands for all women out there, whether you breastfeed or not, we gave birth, we are women, we are mothers. “Thank you to ELLE for being so bold and making such an encouraging, positive and healthy statement. #womenunite.” As you can see below, other celebrities who have fed their child in public in order to make a point include Alyssa Milano, Gisele and Jaime King: View Slideshow: Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures
A day after Josh Duggar was named by police as an alleged offender in a sexual molestation case, the reality star and his family have issued a statement. In response to this heinous scandal, they are not denying the charges. “Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret,” Josh tells People . “I hurt others, including my family and close friends … I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation.” “We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling.” “I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life,” added Josh, who did not elaborate on what the road entailed. TMZ was a lot less vague today, reporting that a decade ago, Duggar was investigated for multiple counts of sexual molestation as a teenager. Sources told police he fondled the genitals of five girls back in 2002. Included among the molestation victims were Josh’s own sisters . View Slideshow: Josh and Anna Duggar Photos: Through the Years Duggar has now resigned from his position at the Family Research Council as a result of the accusations becoming a matter of public record. Jim Bob and Michelle, in their own statement, acknowledged having gone through “one of the most difficult times” of their lives 12 years ago. “When Josh was a young teenager, he made some very bad mistakes, and we were shocked,” the patriarch and matriarch said Thursday. “We had tried to teach him right from wrong,” they said, in the aftermath. “That dark and difficult time caused us to seek God like never before.” Jim Bob Duggar turned him in , reportedly to local church members who agreed that Josh should be put in some kind of treatment program. It remains unclear just what this entailed. For her part, Josh’s wife and the mother of his three children, Anna, says her husband told her about his ugly past two years before he proposed.

Someone, she adds of the oldest of 19 Duggar siblings, “who had received the help needed to change the direction of his life and do what is right.” The statute of limitations has expired so Josh Duggar will not be prosecuted. But you can bet public pressure will be applied to fire his entire family. Will TLC cancel 19 Kids and Counting in the wake of this scandal? All we can do is stay tuned there, but Josh, 27, insists he is a changed man. “I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions,” says Josh. “I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged.” “I asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God’s grace, mercy and redemption.” Think he’ll get it? From a higher power and/or TLC viewers? View Slideshow: 17 Controversial Duggar Family Quotes
According to a new tabloid cover story, Jennifer Aniston has been dumped by Justin Theroux. But there are two pieces of good news for the actress: At least she made it through 990 days of an engagement. At least she isn’t single and expecting, despite various magazines trying to tell us every other month that Jennifer Aniston is pregnant . An insider – who totally and completely exists and who Life & Style definitely did not conjure up – says Theroux “pulled the plug on [the couple’s] wedding just days before it was to go down.” Talk about a tough break for Jen, huh?!? Apparently the split went down in a most embarrassing fashion, too, as Aniston was on the phone with Theroux, casually talking about wedding menu choices, when he blurted out: “I’m not ready.” That had to be difficult for the actress to hear. If, you know, it had actually happened. Fortunately, a previous tabloid report claimed Aniston got dumped on her wedding day and that break-up never materialized. So you’ll forgive us if we aren’t exactly buying this tall tale, either. View Slideshow: Jennifer Aniston: 24 Babies & Counting!!

Janice Dickinson has filed a lawsuit against Bill Cosby. The former supermodel is arguably the most famous woman to have come out and accused the comedian of sexual assault, alleging several weeks ago that Cosby drugged her in Lake Tahoe in 1982. Janice Dickinson: Bill Cosby is a Monster! Janice Dickinson Blasts Bill Cosby Dickinson has described the encounter in grisly detail, telling CNN (above) that she felt “humiliated and disgusted” after Cosby gave her a pill that prompted her to black out. When she was unconscious, Dickinson says Cosby penetrated her vaginally and anally. She has even shared a photo she snapped of Cosby in a robe in the room where she claims the rape took place. In response to the allegation, Bill Cosby’s team issued a statement that accused Dickinson of fabricating the sordid story, an accusation Dickinson now claims has sullied her good name. She is suing Cosby for defamation and emotional distress. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Dickinson is asking for unspecified damages. Cosby, meanwhile, has been accused of sexual assault by over 30 women at this point. He recently spewed some nonsense as a form of denial when asked on Good Morning America about the string of allegations. View Slideshow: Bill Cosby Sex Scandal: Timeline of Accusations
Troubled Rob Kardashian is mulling a return to Dancing With the Stars in order to help find his way, and his old weight, a new report indicates. View Slideshow: Rob Kardashian Fat Photos: Weight a Minute! Rob’s return to Dancing With the Stars, the ABC competition where he once made the finals, is far from certain, but he has been approached . “Rob’s been given an open invitation to visit the show by producers,” an insider says, adding that they hope he comes back to seek redemption. Not for losing the finals, but losing at life lately, and HARD. So far, “Rob hasn’t ruled it out,” notes the insider, because “the happiest anyone ever saw this kid was when he was dancing every day.” However, “Rob will only go on if he drops some weight first,” since, at 5’10”, “he’s not a tall guy so when he puts on 10 pounds it looks like 20.” Whether you want to call it 10 or 20, he’s put on a lot more than that in the past 1-2 years; Kim, Khloe and Kourtney’s brother has let himself go. Big time. Some reports say he gained 50-100 pounds, however the insider says “He’s back on his diet and has already lost several pounds.” That’s music to the ears of everyone worried about Rob’s weight gain and depression , which has become a cause for serious concern. If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , you know they are reeling over Rob and flummoxed about how to handle his issues. Kim has pushed to cut him off completely; Khloe is more sympathetic; Kris wants him to help himself but has no idea how to facilitate that. Clearly the Momager is at a loss for once; Rob is suing Kris Jenner , supposedly, or at least threatening it after keeping up on Keeping Up . He was particularly incensed by Khloe saying Rob partied with whores at her house, and the fact that they went through his stuff on TV. Here’s hoping this report is true. It would be great for him.

A player’s gonna play, and a hater’s gonna hate. And while Tyga is pervertedly playing with 17-year-old Kylie Jenner, Nicki Minaj is haaaating . In a bold move, Nicki Minaj took an explicit shot at her rap label mate by wearing a $1,700 couture jersey with the words “Pervert 17” on it. Minaj debuted the pricey, lacy Givenchy top in the “Feeling Myself” music video she shot with Beyonce; the duo released that yesterday. Not only was Nicki feeling herself … she was feeling pretty ballsy. Maybe it’s all a coincidence, but Nicki has some bad juju with Tyga over the years, long before he began romancing underage reality stars. Most of us agree the shirt is a blatant insult … how could it not be? Tyga and Nicki have actually been battling since last year when Tyga claimed to be pissed that he had to work with Nicki and Drake. Nicki Minaj and Beyonce – “Feeling Myself” Teaser Nicki and Drake are both signed to Young Money Entertainment, the label founded by Lil Wayne; Tyga wasn’t happy about collaborating with the duo. Usually, the saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words.” In this case those words seen in the screen grab above are literally worth about $1,725, or the pre-tax the retail price of Minaj’s custom shirt. A little steep for an insult, admittedly. But, hey, if a grown ass man is dating a 17-year-old (no, Kylie and Tyga are not engaged , yet at least), well, he kinda sorta deserves it.

Kendall Jenner has found a very 21st century way to pay tribute to her brave father: By going back to the 20th century! Nearly, at least. On the heels of back-to-back Keeping Up with the Kardashians episodes – both of which were sub-titled “About Bruce” because they turned their attention to Bruce Jenner’s sexual identity struggle – Kendall has changed her Twitter avatar. It is now an old school photo of herself, Bruce and Kylie Jenner from way back in the day. This new picture is merely the latest way in which 19-year-old model has publicly supported her dad after he confirmed to Diane Sawyer last month that he views himself as a woman. “Honestly, I’ve never seen him happier,” she told E! News at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday. “And that alone makes me so happy.” Those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online may also have caught Kendall’s tears during the first part of the show’s “About Bruce” special. “He taught me how to ride a bike and be the tomboy that I am,” she told the camera. “Every single day we went to school 45 minutes away from home, he would drive us to school, he’d be the first one in line to pick us up. “He’s the most amazing person I know. I couldn’t ask for a better dad.” View Slideshow: 26 Wildly Inappropriate Photos of Kendall Jenner
Miley Cyrus has released a new song as part of her Backyard Sessions special concert series, the proceeds from which all benefit The Happy Hippie Foundation . In this instance, Cyrus is rocking a onesie and singing about her late blowfish Pablow, actually breaking down in tears toward the end of the track. “Some of you may remember a few months ago my dear blow fish Pablow past away,” Cyrus wrote in an Instagram post. “I wrote this song for him. He made me so happy and I miss him everyday.” Miley has sadly lost many pets over the years, using multiple tour stops a couple years ago to pay tribute to her dog, Floyd. In this song, Miley expresses regret for having confined Pablow in a tank instead of letting him live free in the ocean. She also sings about a recent outing to a sushi restaurant, belting out such lyrics as: “I got soup and I ordered rice, but watching my friends eat my friends ruined my appetite.” This performance is a far cry from Miley asking people to lick her pussy and her crack , huh? Check it out now.
After seven seasons of critically-acclaimed existential despair, Mad Men will come to an end on Sunday, and even the most devoted fans really have no idea what to expect from the finale. That’s not because the show is known for wild, Shyamalan-esque twists (though there were certainly some surprises over the years), but rather because, like The Sopranos (the show on which Matthew Weiner cut his teeth), Mad Men is unpredictable in the sometimes maddening and often meandering way that real life is. Back in 2007, it seemed that fans who expected Tony Soprano to go out in a blaze of glory hadn’t really been paying attention over the years, and the same can now be said for the viewers who want Don Draper to tumble from a skyscraper or find lasting peace on a California commune. We’re not claiming to know what will ultimately become of the man once known as Dick Whitman, but we can tell you his fate almost certainly won’t be a perfect match with any of the most popular predictions. Weiner and his writers are known for their subtle foreshadowing (We figured there was going to be a suicide in season five, but most fans guessed Pete Campbell would be the one to check out early.), but even so, trying to guess exactly what will happen to Don in the series finale is sure to be about as fruitful an exercise as predicting where you yourself will be in five, ten or twenty years. And therein lies much of the appeal of a series that often feels more like great literature (and dare we say, real life?) than a television show. In something of a surprise move, the penultimate episode gave us more in the way of definitive endings and hints about the future than we’ve come to expect from Mad Men. There were some illuminating callbacks and allusions in a season that’s already been filled with them, and the Internet is currently abuzz with theories and conjecture. Even so, Don’s future remains almost as characteristically murky as it’s ever been. The show has never really trafficked in bombshells, so it makes sense that in a way, the two big surprises in Mad Men Season 7 Episode 13 have been telegraphed for years. Cigarettes and war were the specters looming over this show from day one. In fact, Don’s opening bit of dialogue in the very first episode was about smokes and military service. Mad Men Episode 1, Scene 1 So it makes sense that the unwelcome surprises that greeted Don and Betty last week were directly related to the deadly boogey-men that so often made headlines in the 1960s (and ’70s). Betty’s diagnosis and Don’s beat-down were both classic Matt Weiner plot developments – the kind of surprises that you realize you should have seen coming only after they blindside you. But what now? We’ve likely seen the end of both Betty and Pete (His happy ending may have been more of a shock than her tragic illness.), and while we could spend days discussing whether or not those characters deserved more or less from the writers, the really important question at this point is, What about Don? The last we saw of Mr. Draper/Whitman, the once-imposing ad man was at an Oklahoma bus stop, a rumpled Sears bag his only luggage. Many fan theories went out the window (no pun intended) following the death of Betty, as while Don wasn’t always the most attentive parent, he’ll likely man up when it comes time to care for Bobby and Gene. Some feel that his newfound single-parenthood will prevent Don from reaching his West Coast Shangri-La. (A recent episode was titled “Lost Horizon,” which is also the name of the novel that gave us that term for an Edenic paradise.) Others think he’ll shirk his duties and keep right on drifting. One interesting theory has the Draper boys relocating to Europe , and as absurd as it might sound, the move would actually make a fair amount of sense, if only because it would enable Don to resume living his life as Dick Whitman. View Slideshow: 9 Memorable Mad Men Moments It’s tempting to try to cobble together the clues and toss out the red herrings in search of a clear indication of what’s to come, in much the same way that we’d love to see our own futures with crystal ball-clarity. However, in both cases, it’s highly unlikely that the major events will be wrapped up in a neat little package that perfectly makes sense of everything it encapsulates. All we know at this point is that Don is heading West, just like unmoored Americans have for centuries. Like the pioneers of yore, his future is uncertain and he’s guilty of more than his fair share of atrocities, but despite the destruction the ad man of mystery has left in his wake, many of us still hope he’ll find some modicum of contentment wherever he lands. And we hope for our own sake that the future of television will offer characters just as frustrating, baffling, and strangely identifiable as the farm-boy-turned-corporatized-creative-genius-turned-beatific-drifter that we met first in a smoke-filled Manhattan bar back in 1960. If you still need to get caught up in time to avoid those Monday morning spoilers, you can always watch Mad Men online at TV Fanatic.
