Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: Jinger Duggar is Courting!!!

On Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 , Jeremy Vuolo enjoyed his first meal with the Duggars and Jinger revealed her courtship rules. Or lack thereof, as it turned out. Watch Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 Online Jinger, quite clearly, is smitten. “Jeremy Vuolo is my best friend from Laredo, Texas, and he recently asked me if I would enter into an official courtship with him,” she said. Jeremy, clearly, is smitten too. “It’s a big next step, and it’s an exciting next step,” Jeremy added, as they went to Jessa and Ben Seewald’s house for ice cream and conversation. With Jessa’s father Jim Bob sort of awkwardly there too, Ben asked the new couple they had discussed any of their “courtship guidelines.” The response? “I have a desire to save the physical for marriage,” Jeremy said, noting that he “understood the temptations” in rushing into the sex. Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo Reveal Courtship Rules … or Lack Thereof Pastor Vuolo reiterated that the duo would “enjoy each other” in the physical way another “season,” but not right now. Because #courting. Joseph Duggar then broke down for viewers at home the list of Duggar courtship rules and other things banned by the famous family. As we all know if we watch Counting On online , side hugs are okay, but frontal hugs are not. You just don’t want to touch fronts. Yet. Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 was a refresher course in Duggar courting awkwardness, which also forbids holding hands or kissing. Is Jinger ready to rebel against this nonsense? View Slideshow: 13 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family “You don’t have to it all listed, like a set of rules,” she told the cameras. “It’s more the general idea and letting people around you know.” Jessa Duggar weighed in that there is obviously the natural, physical pull to be close, which is why you needed to “let people help you.” In other words, chaperone to stop full-frontal hugs. Ben and Jessa offered to do just that, chaperoning Jinger and Jeremy, who later went to dinner at the Duggar compound and held his own. Jana Duggar, the eldest daughter of the family, could see them getting married, but her twin, John David, was still “checking him out.” Joseph reiterated that the brothers are “not going to just hand over” their sister to anybody, and would be watching Vuolo like a hawk. Such an intimidating bunch of virgins. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Photos: From Childhood to Courtship! Jill and Derick Dillard, who witnessed the couple’s first meeting on a mission trip, noticed them paying special attention to each other. Having done the long distance thing, they certainly know how it goes and how challenging it can be, but Jinger seems up to the task. Meanwhile, a bunch of the siblings decided to go on a trip to learn survival prowess; Jinger attended with a Vuolo jersey-wrapped pillow. Yes, she made a pillowcase out of one of the former soccer pro’s old jerseys. Kinda tells you all you need to know right there, right? Naturally, love-struck Jinger spent most of the car ride to the survival camp on FaceTime with Jeremy and worrying about losing reception. Ah, love in the 21st Century. Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard on Missionary Life: So Much Rape, Kidnapping & Murder! In non-Jinger-related updates, Jessa, Ben and baby Spurgeon hit the gym, where Ben talked about one of the latest big ideas he has. With the aid of trainer Steve Conley, a family friend, he’s thinking of establishing a football camp to help at-risk youth. Would be cool. As for their workout, Seewald seemed to exert himself slightly more than Jessa or Spurgeon, but we’ll give the latter duo a pass on that. Meanwhile, Jill’s parents gave her air conditioning units so she and Derick could keep their windows and doors closed, which was huge. Not only for the obvious climate control and creature comforts involved, but because violent crime happens all the time in El Salvador. “You have to strike a balance,” Derick said of managing safety risks and isolating themselves from the people they were there to help. Derick said sexual assault is prevalent in Central America, along with kidnapping and murder, and that as Americans, they are targets. Yikes.

Chris Brown: Released from Jail, Defended by Attorney

Chris Brown has been released from prison. But his latest legal ordeal is only just beginning. As previously reported, Chris Brown was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon on Tuesday night. He has been charged with a felony. We’ll get to the details of the case against him in a moment, but the most immediate update on this controversial artist is that he’s been released on $250,000 bail. It was posted at 11:19 p.m. on Tuesday, according to Los Angeles Sheriff Department inmate records, with Brown’s attorney Tweeting to fans around 2 a.m. “Thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes,” Mark Geragos wrote, adding: “Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are demonstrably false #TeamBreezy.” We’re not sure if a lawyer should really be hashtagging “TeamBreezy” if he wants to be taken seriously, but then again.. … we’re not sure about a whole lot when it comes to Chris Brown. The 27-year-old artist was taken into custody last night after a nearly 14-hour standoff at his Tarzana, California home. It started after a woman named Baylee Curran claimed she and a friend stopped by Brown’s house just to hang out. In subsequent interviews, Curran says Brown was acting strange all night, culminating in him pulling a gun on her after she took a close look at an expensive piece of jewelry that was being held by a member of Brown’s entourage. Speaking to Extra (below), Curran describes the events as follows: “Chris came in, pulled out his gun and said, ‘I’m getting so sick of you people,’ pointed the gun at me, (and told me) to get the f—- out of the house.” Baylee Curran on Chris Brown: He Knows What He Did! She has since told several media outlets that she feared for her life, adding to E! News of the diamond piece in question: “I did not pick it up, I did not touch it, take it or grab it, anything to that sort.” Curran fled from the premises and called the cops. They arrived around 3 a.m., but Brown refused to let them inside his house. While they were in his driveway, the singer unleashed a tirade of profanity on Instagram, filming three separate videos that cursed off the police and proclaimed his innocence. “You’re going to walk right up in here and you’re going to see nothing,” he said in one message after verbally attacking the cops for making him out to be a villain. He then said he was “asleep half the damn night” and that “it’s always gon’ be f-ck the police.” A video posted by 1 YOU ❤️ 2 HATE (@chrisbrownofficial) on Aug 30, 2016 at 9:16am PDT Soon after sharing the above footage, Brown reportedly taunted the authorities outside his Los Angeles mansion. “Come and get me,” sources say he yelled to them upon dropping a duffel bag full of weapons and drugs out the window. Eventually, of course, the cops obtained a search warrant and they DID go and get Brown. A little after 5 p.m. PST, they took the singer into custody. We don’t know at the moment exactly what evidence they found at the scene, but one has to assume they came across at least one gun. Earlier in the night, Brown had entertained such guests as Ray J. An initial report claimed the former Kim Kardashian sex tape partner was actually getting a tattoo inside of Brown’s home before the chaos ensued and he got the heck out of there. According to TMZ, Ray J was actually handcuffed by police and had his BMW confiscated while they tried to figure out what the heck was going on. After Brown’s arrest, Ray J came to his friend’s defense with the following video: A video posted by 1 YOU ❤️ 2 HATE (@chrisbrownofficial) on Aug 31, 2016 at 1:15am PDT That’s all we know at the moment Is Baylee Curran a reliable witness? We can’t say for certain. She’s a recent beauty pageant winner and an aspiring model. She allegedly stole a Louis Vuitton purse from The Plaza Hotel in New York City in 2013, although no charges were brought up against her at the time. More details will likely come out in the near future about Curran, about this weird night in question and about Chris Brown’s role in it. But if you’re asking us whether we give Brown the benefit of any doubt or if he’s earned out trust in any way, shape or form, then we can only respond with a question of our own: Are you insane? This guy is a violent agitator who thinks he’s above the law.

Britney Spears: G-Eazy Did Not Try To Kiss Me!

Britney Spears returned to the VMAs on August 28, 2016 with an energetic performance.  It was a long time coming for the singing sensation, who was previously slammed for stumbling her way through a performance in 2007.  If you recall, that performance was under a year after her very public 2007 meltdown.  She looked uncomfortable all the way through. She was a shell of her former self.  Thankfully, her big return was met with positive response from viewers.  Viewers took note of a particular part of the performance in which G-Eazy leaned in for a smooch with Spears.  It sure looked like Britney declined his request and G-Eazy followed it up by winking at the audience.  The chemistry between the pair was undeniable, so it was only natural that viewers would start talking about the moment on social media.  The pair were also all over each other on the red carpet before the career defining performance.  They really look like they would be a great couple, but Britney doesn’t believe G-Eazy leaned in for a kiss with her. View Slideshow: 13 Craziest Things Britney Spears Has Ever Done In fact, she shut it down pretty quickly while chatting with 92.3 AMP Radio co-hosts Shoboy and Nina on Tuesday, August 30.  “No, I don’t think so,” she said. “He has a girlfriend!” There you have it. It was just a false alarm.  Britney also chatted about why they were so close during the performance.  “In rehearsals, there wasn’t really anything planned for us to do, so when we got there … I didn’t honestly really know what I was doing, and I kind of do something similar to that in my show in Vegas, so I went on automatic with what I do performing live, and I just did what I do to the dancers in Vegas,” Spears explained. “We did rehearse. We had one rehearsal. We didn’t really touch each other. It was just like, ‘Hey, OK, you do your thing. I’ll do my thing.'”  What do you think of all this? Was their performance too flirty?

Jenelle Evans Opens Up: When Did She Miscarry?

As previously reported,  Jenelle Evans is pregnant with her third child. The Teen Mom 2 star is expecting a baby girl with boyfriend David Eason, a development that has led to plenty of jokes and eye rolls around the Internet. But Evans has shared something personal with Us Weekly that is not cause for mockery or derision: She recently had a miscarriage. Say what you want about the troubled reality star, but this a life-changing event that no human being should ever have to suffer through. Speaking to the tabloid, Evans explained that she met with her endocrinologist in April and was alerted that her blood tests indicated that she was pregnant. “I was really, really confused because I was seeing an endocrinologist for my health issues I’ve been having, and she told me that she did blood tests on me to check everything out,” Evans says . ‘She wasn’t even trying to check for pregnancy.” Evans kept the pregnancy a secret, though the news became public knowledge in the most unexpected of ways: Earlier this summer, she was in a car accident. She told the police officers on scene that she was experiencing abdominal pain and that it due to the fact that she was 10 weeks along at the time. The officers included this note in their official report and the report somehow leaked online. Soon afterward, Evans didn’t deny the pregnancy… but instead of confirming the news, she blasted critics for their harsh words . Days after the April appointment, meanwhile, Evans was in California for a Teen Mom 2 reunion and scheduled a meeting with The Doctors’ Dr. Peter Weiss to receive a second opinion. After having an ultrasound conducted, a urine sample run and a blood test taken, Evans was told she was NOT pregnant after all. Huh? View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans and David Eason: Romance Rewind! “I told my endocrinologist [about the negative results], and when I went home, my endocrinologist said, ‘Well, it looks like you had a miscarriage,'” Evans now explains. “So actually instead of it being my period I [thought I] had, I guess [it was] a miscarriage the month before I even got pregnant. “And that’s when everyone thought I was pregnant at first.” Following initially remaining mum on the subject, Evans shared the above Instagram photo of her and Eason this week. She included with it a caption that confirmed her pregnancy AND her due date AND the name of her impending child. “Time to introduce the world to our baby girl soon, Ensley Jolie Eason,” she wrote. “She will be arriving Jan. 28th. We couldn’t be any happier!” Eason, who will be Evans’ third baby daddy, also shared his excitement online, writing the following: “I’m so happy im bout ta cry!!. I love you so much @j_evans1219 and I can’t wait to meet our baby girl Ensley Jolie Eason!!” View Slideshow: 13 Shocking Jenelle Evans Facts Even We Didn’t Know! Evans tells Us Weekly that she and Eason have been talking about settling down at some point in the near future. They may get married. But they were not planning on having a child right now. How did this happen then? Evans says she was not on birth control at that a “cheap” condom burst. Evans is also mother to a two-year old named Kaiser, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Nathan Griffin; and a seven-year old named Jace, whom she welcomed with Andrew Lewis in 2009. In 2010, the MTV personality forfeited custodial rights of her firstborn to her mother, Barbara Evans, who still looks after the young boy. The two often clash over how he’s being raised and the role Evans plays in his life. Eason is the father of a daughter named Maryssa from a previous relationship. In the end, despite this unexpected news, Evans is making the most of it. She’s especially psyched to have a little daughte on the way. “I’ve got my girl now, and I’m very ecstatic, very happy to be actually decorating stuff and all girls stuff, and all my friends are like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re going to be so spoiled!’” she says. “Because all my friends, they just have little boys, so it’s like everyone is just so super excited for me!” So are we. But we just hope Evans has learned some lessons from the past and will apply them to this girls’ future.

Dwyane Wade Mourns "Senseless" Death of Cousin, Calls for End to Gun Violence

Dwyane Wade is in mourning. The NBA superstar lost one of his cousins on Friday when she became a victim of crossfire on the sidewalk in Chicago. According to CNN and other outlets, Nykea Aldridge died while pushing a stroller down a South Side street when a multitude of men started shooting at each other. She was simply an innocent bystander. Tweeted Wade in response to the tragedy: “My cousin was killed today in Chicago. Another act of senseless gun violence. 4 kids lost their mom for NO REASON. Unreal. #EnoughIsEnough.” CNN has reported that one of the bullets struck Aldridge in the head, while another hit her in an arm. She died approximately 45 minutes after the shooting at a nearby hospital. Aldridge’s aunt told an ABC affiliated that she was on her way to an elementary school when she was gunned down.  Two suspects are reportedly in custody. Wade’s mother, Jolinda Wade, spoke on behalf of the family last night while holding her inconsolable sister close outside the emergency room where Aldridge was pronounced deceased. “Just sat up on a panel yesterday, The Undefeated, talking about the violence that’s going on within our city of Chicago, never knowing that the next day we would be the ones that would be actually living and experiencing it,” Jolinda Wade said. “We’re still going to try and help these people to transform their minds and give them a different direction, so this thing won’t keep happening. “We’re still going to help empower people like the one who senselessly shot my niece in the head.” Chicago has been hit especially hard by violence this year. More than 2,600 people have been shot in the city, mainly on the South and West sides. In July, Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and LeBron James opened the ESPYs by standing on stage and addressing this exact topic in front of a national audience. They were responding at the time to the Black Lives Matter movement and the rash of African-American deaths at the hands of police officers. They were also responding to the misguided responses of those who attached members of law enforcement in response to these incidents. ESPYs: NBA Stars Speak on Black Lives Matter to Open Ceremony “The endless gun violence in places like Chicago, Dallas, not to mention Orlando, it has to stop. Enough. Enough is enough,” Waed said on stage. This is not the first time Wade’s family has been touched by gun violence, either. His nephew, Darin Johnson, was shot twice in the leg in 2012 but recovered. We send our thoughts, prayers and condolences to the entire Wade family at this time.

MTV Video Music Awards: 11 Best Performances of All Time!

The VMAs aren't like other award shows.  But unlike when someone you met on Tinder tells you they're not like other girls/guys, in this case, the claim is legit. You never know what might happen at the VMAs. Kanye might interrupt someone's acceptance speech. Nicki Minaj might call out Miley Cyrus . Kanye might interrupt everyone's acceptance speeches. You really never know. In fact, the only thing that's certain is: there will be some amazing performances. Check out the gallery below to relive some of the most unforgettable musical moments from 32 years of the VMAs. 1. Beyonce: “Love on Top,” 2011 Beyonce crushed it with her performance of “Love on Top” in 2011. It didn’t hurt that she capped things off by confirming rumors that she and Jay Z were expecting their first child. 2. Madonna: “Like a Virgin,” 1984 The Material Girl was just exploding onto the scene when the VMAs first started confusing parents in 1984. To give you an idea of how different things were then: Herbie Hancock beat out Michael Jackson as the night’s top winner. 3. Britney Spears: “Slave 4 U,” 2011 Britney Spears cemented her place as a VMA icon with her 2001 performance. Giant live snakes are great for when you’re trying to make a lasting impression. 4. Taylor Swift: “You Belong With Me,” 2009 Later that night, Taylor would become an unwilling participant in the most notorious moment in VMAs history. But when she crooned one of her signature tunes to a subway full of fans, she was still just the country girl with a broken heart full of hits. 5. Eminem: “The Real Slim Shady”/”Way I Am,” 2000 There were thousands of Eminem wannabes in 2000. But as Mr. Mathers proved in his unforgettable 2000 medley, there’s only one real Slim Shady. 6. Diddy, Faith Evans, Sting: “I’ll Be Missing You” Diddy’s tribute to the late, great Notorious B.I.G. became a massive success in 1997. It also made for one of the most unforgettable performances in VMA history. View Slideshow
