Duggar Family Prays For Nation’s "Wicked Ways" in Wake of Gay Marriage Ruling

As you’ve probably heard, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of nationwide gay marriage yesterday in a landmark decision that’s being celebrated in all 50 states. Countless celebrities have spoken out in favor of the SCOTUS decision , and president Obama hailed the ruling as a ” victory for America .” But not all public figures are pleased with yesterday’s developments. Just moments after the decision was announced, members of the famously conservative Duggar family made their feelings known with a Bible quote posted on their official Facebook page: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways,” the message reads. “Then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” While the family has not addressed the court’s ruling directly, the timing and content of the above message leaves little doubt that this is the Duggars’ way of admonishing the justices who voted in favor of gay marriage and chastising the nation for its “wicked” ways. Many of the commenters on the Duggars’ post expressed support for the family and its views, while others accused the 19 Kids and Counting clan of hypocrisy for commenting on the sexual preferences so soon after news of the Josh Duggar molestation scandal  went public.

NBC Issues Statement on Donald Trump: He Pretty Much Sucks!

Here is something you almost never see: A television network admonishing a Presidential candidate. In the wake of  Donald Trump announcing he’s running for the highest office in the land, however, NBC has felt a need to distance itself from The Celebrity Apprentice host. “Donald Trump’s opinions do not represent those of NBC, and we do not agree with his positions on a number of issues, including his recent comments on immigration,” the network said on Thursday. This statement comes on the heels of Univision confirming it is dropping Trump and NBC Universal’s co-produced Miss USA pageant due to the candidate’s recent remarks. Among Trump’s more controversial/totally insane quotes? He said at a press conference this month that Mexico is “sending [America] people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” In response, J Balvin pulled out of performing at the Miss USA Pageant, while Roselyn Sanchez has now pulled out of hosting the event. On Facebook, the actress says she will “not tolerate the so disrespectful and hurtful words out of the mouth of Mr. Trump.” View Slideshow: Donald Trump Announces Presidential Run; Twitter Reacts! On Thursday, meanwhile, Trump  defended himself on Twitter. He also declared he’s going to sue Univision for violating its contract. “Univision wants to back out of signed @MissUniverse contract because I exposed the terrible trade deals that the U.S. makes with Mexico” and “Mexican gov doesn’t want me talking about terrible border situation & horrible trade deals. “Forcing Univision to get me to stop—no way!” Ummm… Vote Trump?

Jim Bob and Josh Duggar: Caught Lying Under Oath?!

In recent weeks, it began to seem as though the worst of the Josh Duggar molestation scandal was over. Josh’s parents and two of his victims broke their silence in interviews with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, and in the surest sign yet that the Duggars are doing their best to put the ugliness of recent weeks behind them, Jill and Jessa Duggar were spotted in public for the first time since the world learned of their family’s dark secret. It now looks as though it may not be as easy for the Duggars to move on and reclaim their place as reality TV’s favorite family as their fans had hoped. Earlier today, we reported that Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are still under investigation by local police in Tontitown, Arkansas. Now, Radar Online is reporting that Josh and Jim Bob allegedly lied under oath during the course of a 2013 civil suit. It seems that Josh and Jim Bob are the co-owners of a used car dealership, and together, they filed suit against an insurance company for a deal gone wrong. Court documents show that Jim Bob and Josh were both asked about any prior arrests or police investigations in which they were involved. Both men answered all such questions with, “The Plaintiffs state that no such records exist.” The case is already settled, and Josh and Jim Bob are unlikely to face any legal consequences for their false statements, but this latest allegation serves as yet another indication that there may be more skeletons in the Duggar’s closet than we initially thought.

Hannibal: Canceled By NBC!

You may want to sit down and pour yourselves a nice Chianti for this one, Hannibal fans. Entertainment Weekly reported moments ago that the acclaimed drama has been canceled by NBC . In a statement, showrunner Bryan Fuller expressed his gratitude to the network for allowing him so much creative freedom, and more than a few second chances: “NBC has allowed us to craft a television series that no other broadcast network would have dared,” Fuller said. “[They] kept us on the air for three seasons despite Cancellation Bear Chow ratings and images that would have shredded the eyeballs of lesser Standards & Practices enforcers. “Hannibal is finishing his last course at NBC’s table this summer, but a hungry cannibal can always dine again. And personally, I look forward to my next meal with NBC.” The remaining episodes of the show’s third season will continue to air Thursday nights at 10 pm. Devoted fans remain hopeful that another network or streaming service will pick up the cultishly adored series, just as Hulu picked up The Mindy Project after it was canceled by Fox last month. Fortunately, if the worst-case scenario comes to pass, and this is really the last meal for TV’s favorite (only?) cannibal, Fuller assures fans that he was prepared for the possibility, and the final episode of season 3 finale also functions as a suitable series finale. As always, you can watch Hannibal online at TV Fanatic to relive your favorite moments. View Slideshow: 9 TV Shows That SHOULD Be Canceled

Whoopi Goldberg Compares Confederate Flag to Nazism

Whoopi Goldberg has taken another strong stance on another hot topic. In the wake of last week's horrific Charleston shooting , which claimed nine lives inside a church, a debate has raged on over South Carolina still flying the Confederate Flag over its Capitol Building. Where does Goldberg stand on this controversial topic? She made it very clear during a segment on The View. “It should not be flying anywhere,” the panelist said. “The only argument you can make against having this flag be as spectacularly shown as it is around the South is the Nazis. It would be like having the swastika flag flying on your next-door neighbor.” Co-host Rosie Perez did not use this comparison, but did say she doesn't comprehend the “pride” associated with this Civil War symbol. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, meanwhile, just came out and said it's time for the flag to come down. Check out Goldberg's take and then go see her compare Rachel Dolezal to Caitlyn Jenner .
