WENN.com Tiger Woods Pleads Guilty In Court On Friday Tiger Woods pleaded guilty to reckless driving on Friday afternoon in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, as part of a program that will likely keep him from serving any prison time. The professional golfer largely remained silent in court and only spoke in order to answer “yes” when asked several questions about his plans to plead guilty. Woods was arrested in Florida on Memorial Day under suspicion of driving under the influence after police discovered him in his car stopped on the side of the road. Tiger had pain, anxiety, and sleeping medications as well as THC in his system at the time of his arrest according to the toxicology report. Shortly after his arrest, Woods released a statement saying he did not realize the mix of medications “had affected me so strongly.” In August, he entered into a DUI first-offender program, under which the state dropped the DUI charge, which allowed him to plead guilty to the lesser charge of reckless driving. There is no jail time in the plea deal unless Woods violates probation in a major way. The deal calls for 12 months of probation, standard court fees, a $250 fine, $250 charity donation, 50 hours of community service, an online class and completion of DUI school.

It’s been five months since Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth got married , and the despite their youth, the couple has wasted no time in taking on all the responsibilities of adult life. At 19, Joy-Anna is currently pregnant with her first child, and while she has yet to reveal any solid information about her due date, some fans believe she’ll be welcoming a little bundle of joy before the year is out. (If you crunch the numbers on that prediction, you’ll see why the rumors about Joy-Anna’s “shotgun wedding” have gained so much traction on social media.) The official explanation is that Joy-Anna got pregnant on her honeymoon and learned she was knocked up shortly after she returned home. Speaking of “home,” fans have recently taken an interest in the question of where exactly Joy-Anna and Austin are laying their heads these days. If you’re a fan of Counting On , then you may remember that Austin flips houses for a living and has eagerly spoken of his desire to find the perfect home for his new family. (In one of the series’ most random scenes, Austin was advised by his father to hold off on proposing to Joy until he’d flipped his fifth home because … that’s what Jesus would’ve done? We’re still not quite clear on the reasoning.) Forsyth eventually decided that the perfect home didn’t exist–and thus, it was up to him to build it. Yes, depending on who you ask, Austin and Joy-Anna’s dream home is either under construction or soon to be under construction. Whatever the case, it’s a long way from being completed. So where are Austin and Joy-Anna residing in the meantime? Well, the most popular theory amongst fans seems to be that they’re living with her parents and several of her siblings at the storied Duggar compound. What’s the big deal? you may be asking. She’s freakin’ 19 years old! The average Millennial lives with his parents until he’d 47, and that’s an absolute fact I just made up! Here’s the thing, short-tempered hypothetical reader–we absolutely agree with you. We firmly believe there’s nothing wrong with a 19-year-old living at home for a while. But by all accounts, the Duggars don’t share that belief–at least not in cases where said 19-year-old has already been married off. The Duggars are almost as big on self-reliance and refusal of handouts as they are on the Bible and procreation. Yes, it’s extremely ironic, considering they’ve famously begged for money from fans on numerous occasions, but the Duggars pride themselves on long hours and rugged individualism. Which is probably why Joy-Anna’s continued residence at casa de Duggar is being treated like the family’s biggest secret. Well, maybe like its fourth or fifth biggest secret.

Justin Bieber spent time with Selena Gomez this week, fueling speculation that he and his famous ex-girlfriend are back together. This doesn’t seem to be the case, however. Partly because Selena is in a committed relationship with The Weeknd; partly because we can’t imagine she would take Justin back after the way he treated her; and partly because Bieber is also in a committed relationship… … with Jesus Christ. We don’t mean to sound sarcastic or disrespectful. It’s been reported for several weeks now by several outlets that Bieber is more focused on his faith than ever before. Back in July, Bieber canceled the remaining dates on his world tour, allegedly due to his religious beliefs. The artist has been growing especially close to Hillsong Church leader Carl Lentz for awhile, so much so that fans are worried Bieber will actually give up music for the church. Referring to Bieber calling off a bunch of concerts this summer, an insider told TMZ the following at the time: “He made his decision based on spiritual soul-searching and his own view of the path in life he should be taking.” Hey, if Bieber is happy…whatever, right? That’s what matters. Earlier today, meanwhile, the superstar made another reference to his faith and the journey he’s apparently on, thanking another church leader, Josh Mehl, for seemingly playing a role in turning his life around. “I have learned so much from you, I’m a better man because of you,” wrote Bieber as a caption to the photo above, adding: “I’m a better friend because of you. You have been a true example of what Following Jesus looks like and I’m so grateful I get to walk through this life knowing you!” Pretty powerful stuff. Just a few weeks ago, manager and close friend Scooter Braun gave an interview in which he detailed just how far Bieber really had plummeted following his drunk driving arrest and other run-ins with the law/paparazzi. “It was worse than people realized,” Braun said . “I failed him day after day. We were living in hell because he was in such a dark place.” The music insider said others in the industry told him to give up on Bieber because “the kid was done,” making it clear that Bieber perhaps really did need to change paths. He was drinking a lot and partying all the time and his career was in danger. So don’t get mad at Bieber for taking a break now. Don’t pressure him to make new music. It sounds as though he needed the guidance of a church and various religious leaders to turn his life around and it sounds as though he’s found that. Just go ahead and wish him luck on his journey in that case. That’s what we’re choosing to do. View Slideshow: Justin Bieber: A Chronological List of 31 Women Who Slept With Him For Some Reason
On Sunday, October 1st, Heidi Montag gave birth to her and Spencer Pratt’s first child — a precious baby boy. The first photos of baby Gunner Pratt are slowly trickling in, but the proud parents have shared a brand new photo. Heidi has now joined the ranks of actresses who are sharing breastfeeding photos. During they heyday of The Hills , the very idea of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt becoming parents would have given us nightmares. After the two of them managed to burn through their $10 million fortune in a frighteningly short amount of time, the thought of them becoming responsible for a tiny human being would have caused us to slip into a coma. But this pair of D-listers have come a long, long way since then. Don’t get us wrong — they’re still, uh, “eccentric.” Their feud with Lauren Conrad still seems to be going strong. And yes, Spencer Pratt still loves crystals. But they’ve clearly made strides towards what is at the very least a strong resemblance to personhood since The Hills was a thing. Which is good, because baby Gunner is here! Awwwww! This is great, first of all, because it’s a precious photo of all three members of this small but growing family. But it’s also wonderful because every photo that celebs share of themselves breastfeeding helps to normalize breastfeeding for millions of women. We don’t know how many instances there have been of women being asked to leave or to breastfeed their babies in often filthy public restrooms. ( No one should have to eat lunch in a bathroom, folks) The worst cases are when women in art museums are asked this, since they’re often surrounded by paintings and sculptures of bare breasts but aren’t being allowed to feed their infants. The #FreeTheNipple movement isn’t just about toplessness for toplessness’ sake, though that’s a worthy cause in and of itself. It’s also just about making society less uptight about breasts and their accompanying nip nops. In her own way, Heidi Montag is helping make the world a better place. Every drop in the bucket contributes to the inevitable cultural shift. Precious baby Gunner deserves the best, right? Fortunately, Spencer and Heidi have done more than just grow with age and life experience. Heidi rekindled her relationship with her formerly estranged mother, Darlene Egelhoff. Previously, Heidi had gotten what the medical community refers to as a “horrifying f–kton” of cosmetic surgery, distorting her features into a twisted caricature of humanity and spending a ludicrous amount of money in the process. At the time, Heidi’s mother had expressed concerns. Like the rest of America. Heidi hadn’t liked that, so she and her mother were on bad terms for years. But they both agreed to appear on The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition . The whole purpose of which is to orchestrate reconciliations between mothers and daughters. In some cases, it didn’t work out so well. In some cases, it shouldn’t work out. But in the case of Heidi Montag and her mother, they were actually able to reconnect and soothe some old wounds. In fact, Heidi Montag flaunted her 6-month baby bump while hiking with Spencer and with her mother. The more family that they’re close to, the bigger their support network. Family isn’t the only support network that they’ve set up for their baby, of course. Jen Bunney is Gunner’s godmother , which is not surprising but makes for an amazing The Hills callback, but she’s apparently not his only godparent. We don’t have the complete list or anything, but that’s interesting to know. And comforting. The whole idea is that they would assume responsibility for Gunner if, heavens forbid, anything should happen to Heidi and Spencer. But hopefully the Pratts’ extensive, expensive collection of crystals will bring them all of the good vibes or good luck or whatever that they need so that they can always be there for little Gunner.
You might feel that just about every time you read something about the Duggar family, it’s news of a new scandal or controversy. Especially common are stories that point out the family’s apparent hypocrisy and inability or unwillingness to live in accordance with the values they espouse publicly. It’s not hard to see why critics and former fans would revel in evidence that the Duggars aren’t quite practicing what they preach. After all, it’s hard to think of another famous family that suffered a fall from grace as swift and brutal as the one that befell the Counting On clan in the wake of the Josh Duggar sex scandals . Frankly, Josh’s crimes were horrific, and the efforts to help him evade prosecution were almost as appalling. As a result, nearly 18 months later, many still see the family’s misfortunes as grounds for celebration. Perhaps that’s unfair, as most of the family was not complicit in Josh’s crimes, but it’s certainly an understandable reaction, as many seem to hope that each Duggar scandal will be the last, and the family will finally be forced to leave the public eye. And, of course, it’s not just the Josh scandals that have earned the Duggars such a vocal contingent of critics. The family’s extremely conservative beliefs basically set them up for failure, and as a result, instances of Duggar hypocrisy are remarkably common. And because the family purports to hold a position of moral authority, those instances are gleefully pointed out by the same people who have been condemned to hell by the Duggars’ belief system. We certainly understand it’s appeal, but sometimes, all that anti-Duggar news leaves us with the feeling that we’re living in a bubble. Surely, someone must still be pulling for these people, right? Yes, as it turns out, a quick trip through some popular Duggar fan pages reveals that there are quite a few folks out there who still support Jim Bob and company. Not only that, but judging by the comments on a recent photo of Josh and Anna’s daughter, many of these people are pushing a truly bizarre agenda: “I’m still so upset that they can’t feature Josh,” one fan commented. “How do they get to be a testimony of God’s redemptive power if they can’t show the healing?” “Put Josh back with his family please,” wrote another. “TLC won’t allow them to feature Josh but I’m surprised in the Duggar family page they don’t show the kid’s with their parents,” Yes, there are humans on the internet–the same internet you’re using right now!–who not only support the Duggars, but also want more Josh in their lives. Finding comments like the ones above is like stumbling into a bizarro world full of Trump supporters who wish the Access Hollywood tape was even longer. We suppose we can understand turning a blind eye to the Duggars’ indiscretions so that you can continue to support them relatively guilt-free. Denial is a powerful force, after all. But begging TLC to put a known child molester back on television? That’s something we’ll simply never be able to make sense of.
