Kim Kardashian: Planned Parenthood is Awesome, People!

Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian will arrive at an important conclusion this Sunday night. On the next episode of their family's reality show, the sisters will visit a Los Angeles-based Planned Parenthood and come to the realization that the organization actually does a lot of good. Contrary to what some politicians or people may tell you. “The perception of Planned Parenthood is that it's like this abortion clinic, that's nothing like what it's like,” Kim explains in the following footage, adding: “Hearing that firsthand really made it real for me.” It's true. Not only does Planned Parenthood help women with MANY health issues, but it does not take government funding for abortions. Just stating some facts here. One of the stories the soon-to-be-VERY-rich siblings heard came from a woman named Kelly, who said she and her boyfriend chose to get tested there after having unprotected sex. Within 15 minutes of getting their finger pricked, the couple learned they were both HIV positive. Scary stuff. “Planned Parenthood, they were compassionate and understanding and they told me you know you're life isn't over. This is manageable,” Kelly said. “You can live a normal life with this. Planned Parenthood basically kept me alive.” This certainly isn't the sort of serious topic Keeping Up with the Kardashians takes on. But good for the show for doing so. The trip left Khloe especially altered when it came to her thoughts towards the organization, which has become a hot button topic for conservatives. Many politicians on that side of the aisle want to cut off funding to it entirely. “I'm a big fan of Planned Parenthood now,” Khloe says below. “Meeting all the girls and hearing their stories and seeing how many women have been helped by some of the services they have to offer. “I think people need to be more educated before they form opinions and that's what I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to do today.” Watch the interesting clip below:

Jeremy Roloff on Baby Daughter: She Can Do THIS Now!

Jeremy Roloff is here with an update on his relatively new daughter. A few days after Ember Jean turned one month old, the Little People, Big World star first shared the following precious picture of his infant on Facebook: Altogether now: AWWWWW ! Jeremy also included a caption with the snapshot that gave fans an idea of both how he is doing and how Ember is doing. “The first month has been full of learning, and reacting. Haha,” Roloff wrote, referring (we think) to both Daddy and Daughter. He added: “Ember Jean has us on our toes and awake. (All night long) haha. We’re starting to learn her cries (I mean singing) and have been taking her on a lot of walks.” Concluded the TLC star, making a point to shower his wife with a compliment: “She’s starting to smile and loves tummy time. And this photo is by my beautiful wife!” Jeremy shared this picture and this message a week after Audrey Roloff did basically the same thing . “Our baby girl is 4 weeks old today!!! I feel like we just came home from the hospital yesterday… wow,” wrote Audrey as a caption to a photo of her bundle of joy last Sunday. The first-time parent went on to say that Ember “eats and wiggles by day, and eats and cuddles by night. She likes to pull out our hair, does not like footie pajamas (she kicks her feet right out of the legs), she loves the bath, and she prefers sleeping up right or on our chests.” Also: ‘She smiles a lot and we swear it’s intentional. Some “firsts” include: first time to the farm, first mule ride, and first public blow out.” Prior to this post, Audrey had been a tad quiet on social media. Considering how often Zach and Tori Roloff talk about life with their baby son online, followers had been curious and concerned over Audrey’s silence, eventually learning she has been suffering from some postpartum depression . She’s been experiencing a lot of pain while breastfeeding due to a condition known as mastitis, and she’s just struggling a bit in general with a baby who rarely sleeps. “The pain that I’ve experienced while breast feeding has been comparable to unmedicated labor contractions,” she admitted a couple weeks ago, adding: “Inevitably, all of this has left me feeling like I am failing my baby, frustrated, discouraged, and heart ached.” Thankfully, Audrey has a loving and helpful husband at home, along with strong faith and the right attitude overall. “But even though the tearful sleepless nights persist, so will I,” she also wrote. TLC has not yet announced a return date for Little People, Big World – but new episodes will focus on Jeremy and Audrey’s journey to parenthood. We admire how candid Audrey has been throughout the process and we’ll keep her in our thoughts over the next few weeks. It really can be challenging to become a parent, as you’re suddenly in charge of a helpless tiny person’s well-being 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But it’s so very much worth it in the end. Hang in there, Jeremy and Audrey. View Slideshow: Ember Jean Roloff: All Her Precious Pictures!

Jackson Roloff is Dressed Like a Pumpkin and We May Just Die of Cuteness Overload

We don’t know whether this story about a feud between Matt and Amy Roloff is legitimate or not. It could be an example of fake news. But we do know one surefire way of making us forget that some tension may exist between family members on Little People, Big World. And that is this: Dress Jackson Kyle Roloff up like a pumpkin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As previously reported, Roloff Farms opened for pumpkin-picking business this past weekend in Oregon. The event brought with it thousands of visitors from around the state, all of whom stopped by this famous location to gather up some supplies and decorations for the fall. We’re just focused at the moment on one of those visitors, however. Probably the youngest one of the bunch. And definitely the cutest. As documented by his parents and his grandparents on Instagram, Jackson clearly had an adorable blast at his family’s compound, posing not just alongside a pumpkin (below), but also as a pumpkin (above). How ridiculously precious is that picture?!? “I’d say Jackson’s first weekend out at the patch was a success!” Tori Roloff wrote at one point on Instagram, adding: “thank you so much to everyone that came out! #rolofffarms #storyofzachandtori #ZandTPartyofThree #babyjroloff.” As if the excitement of picking pumpkins wasn’t enough, meanwhile, Jackson also helped grandpa Matt Roloff celebrate his birthday a couple days ago. Naturally, Tori captured this moment on social media as well. “Happy birthday Grandpa Roloff! We love you! If you guys are out at the patch today make sure and wish the old man a happy birthday,” she captioned the image below. TLC is yet to announce a premiere date for the new season of Little People, Big World, but it’s safe to assume cameras were on hand for the farm’s big opening. We also assume fresh episodes will air some time this fall, but we’re still awaiting confirmation from the network. Fortunately, members of this fun family have been busy on Instagram, sharing pictures of new baby Jackson and even newer baby Ember, who was born to Audrey and Jeremy Roloff last month. Heck, there’s even a picture of Jackson AND Ember together . There are also constant snapshot of Tori, Zach and their five-month old, such as the one featured here: Look for the upcoming season to focus on how Zach and Tori have been raising Jackson, along with a a chronicling of Audrey and Jeremy’s path to parenthood. Will Jacob be featured at all this fall? Will we see footage of Molly Roloff’s wedding ? While you ponder those questions, check out memorable pictures below of little Jackson Kyle. We love him so much. View Slideshow: Jackson Roloff Baby Photos: OMG! He’s So Cute!

Michael Phelps and Nicole Johnson: Expecting Baby #2!

Olympic legend Michael Phelps and his wife Nicole are expecting their second child, the duo announced in dueling social media posts. Phelps and the former Nicole Johnson are already parents to a little boy named Boomer … who seems pretty hyped to be a big brother! The greatest swimmer ever wrote, alongside the photo above: “Number 2 on the way!!!! So excited!! Wonder if it’s a boy or a girl??” We too wonder this, but there’s no debating that Boomer is about as precious as it gets as he holds his mom’s pregnancy test. (Which we presume is positive, hence the post.) Added Nicole in her own Instagram post featuring the same photo of herself and her son, “Lil mans going to be a Big Brother!!!” The couple met in 2007, started dating in 2009 and temporarily broke up prior to the 2012 Summer Olympics before reuniting in 2014. Michael’s been with her through a lot of ups and downs in life, but never has he seemed happier than right here, right now. Not to be left out, Boomer, 15 months, says he’s looking forward to big brotherhood as well, according to his personal Instagram. “So excited to see what mama is having!! Do I get to have a brother or a sister?!?” Phelps and Johnson’s son “wrote” earlier. Nicole and Michael welcomed Boomer in May 2016, just months before he capped off his historic Olympic career in Rio that summer. They also got married last year – two times! Michael and Nicole, both 32, tied the knot in June and then wed again in late October during a larger event in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Clearly, parenthood suits them, as he said earlier this year they were already thinking about number two in terms of when, not it. “Nicole has recently brought up that she would like a girl!” Phelps told People. “We definitely want more kids, it just depends on when.” “I’m sure I’m getting pressure.” Hey, at least she knows the swimmer’s boys can … sorry, that’s not even that funny at the end of the day, but we couldn’t resist. Phelps said Nicole’s pregnancy with Boomer wasn’t planned, but this time around revealed, “[We’re] trying to get moving on some things!” “We are so fortunate to have a healthy and happy baby and hopefully more coming soon, but we don’t know when,” Michael added. “We’re going through life everyday happy and blessed with what we have. But I hope to have more kids in the future,” he said. Now in retirement, the winner of an eye-popping 23 Olympic medals from 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 combined is quite content. View Slideshow: Nicole Johnson: 19 Photos of Michael Phelps’ Fiancee! He may miss the competition sometimes, but having devoted his whole life to the sport, extra time at home with the kid is great as well. So many milestones, every day. “I think that is the coolest thing, watching him grow,” he said of his adorable young son. “Just watching him figure out new things.” Congrats to the whole family!

Young Thug Donates To Planned Parenthood With Heartfelt Message

See the rest here:

Young Thug is giving his dollars to a organization he believes in.

Jill Duggar Reveals Name of Second Baby Boy!

New, headline-grabbing revelations about the Duggar family seem to be surfacing every day lately. We suppose it makes sense, considering reality TV’s most controversial stars are in the midst of promoting the upcoming fourth season of Counting On , but it’s amazing that one family could generate so much fresh gossip. Of course, it helps when said family is the size of the Duggar clan. Just last week we learned that Joy-Anna Duggar married Austin Forsyth in a massively-attended ceremony in Springdale, Arkansas. (Naturally, the wedding will provide the basis for the Counting On season premiere.) That same weekend, the family revealed that Joseph Duggar had gotten engaged to Kendra Caldwell . (The only thing Counting On viewers love more than a wedding is the build-up to a wedding.) All the Dugs needed to really work their fans into a frenzy for the big premiere was a perfectly-timed birth. Unfortunately, uteruses aren’t controlled by network execs (yet), so the promo team will be forced to settle for the next best thing: A premature name-reveal! Yes, even though their second child will likely still need a couple more weeks to gestate, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard have decided to share their forthcoming bundle of joy’s moniker with the legion of Duggar obsessives. If you were hoping for another off-the-beaten path Duggar handle like Israel of Spurgeon, we’re afraid you might be a little disappointed. Jill dropped the unexpected bombshell with the following post on their personal website: “We are so excited to announce the name of Baby Dillard #2! Samuel Scott Dillard,” she wrote. “We can’t wait to welcome him to the world and have him join our family very soon!” Yes, Samuel Scott. So they’re sticking with the Biblical theme, but it’s considerably less quirky name than the one they chose for little Sammy’s older brother, Izzy. It’s unusual for Duggars to reveal their kids’ names ahead of the birth, but who says you have to wait for a kid to be born for them to start earning. The Duggars are old-fashioned about everything, and that includes child labor laws, friend-o. Now good put on your most durable overalls or your longest denim skirt and share this news with the masses the way God intended – via Twitter. When you’re done, watch Counting On online to get caught up in time for season premiere on June 12. There should be another 18 or so Duggar news items for you bone up on by then.

Jill Duggar Accused of Faking Grief Over Friend’s Murder

Last week, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard shared some startling news from their temporary home in El Salvador. It seems a friend of Jill and Derick’s was murdered near his home in the couple’s village. Jill reported the news with a lengthy social media tribute to her late friend: “We received a phone call on Monday from a friend here in Central America informing us that one of our other good friends (a fellow Christian) had been murdered the day before and that his family had found his body down by the river earlier that morning,” Jill wrote. “Even though we had spoke [sic] with our friend and his family about the realities of the dangers here, and especially in their area right now, we were shocked when we learned of his kidnap [sic] and murder.” Fans were shocked, and many expressed their concerns for the Dillards safety or offered prayers for the family of their departed friend. However, now it seems that others were doubtful about the sincerity of the Dillards’ grief. Hollywood Life posted the above photo on Tuesday, along with a headline reading: “Jill Duggar Posts Baby Bump Snap After Revealing Her Friend Was Murdered” The site went on to write: “Jill Duggar seems to be in good spirits despite the tragic death of her friend, on May 22. She posted a photo on May 23, with her mother Michelle, where she showed off her growing bump. “The snap came just 24 hours after she learned that her friend had been murdered.” We hate to get all Gossip Cop on you, but Hollywood Life may need to check its facts on this one. Jill posted about her slain friend on May 17. The photo above (which is nowhere to be found on Jill’s IG account) appears to have been posted by a Duggar fan site on May 23. The Dillards just returned to the US on May 20, so Jill couldn’t possibly have posed with her mother within 24 hours of the murder. On top of all of that, we have no way of knowing when that photo was actually taken (It could be from Jill’s first pregnancy!) or when the Dillards’ friend was murdered. (In all likelihood, Jill waited a day or two before posting the information online.) View Slideshow: Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard Photos: A True Love Timeline From Courtship to Parenthood, Twice! In short, we’re calling BS. Dammit, Hollywood Life, you’ve forced us to defend the Duggars. Watch Counting On online to relive Jill and Derick’s tumultuous says in El Salvador.
