Kanye West. Family Man. Who would ever have thought we’d see the day, huh? But the rapper taped an appearance this week with Ellen DeGeneres in which he debuted the video for Only One – and it stars daughter North West! He also chatted with host at length about his marriage, offering very high praise for wife Kim Kardashian. “I’ve learned how to shut up more,” Kanye joked as a photo of him kissing Kim popped up in the background of the set. “Yeah, I think I’m a better human being because of her, and because of my daughter.” Kanye also said he’s learned to “compromise more” as a husband, while specifying exactly what prompted his attitude adjustment. “I always have someone to think about going home to,” he said. “And, you know, something for me to be brave for what I want to do for humanity, but also to be more protective of myself for my family too. “Cause there are things I’ve done in the past that were considered negative, but I was really jumping in front of the tank for other people or for culture in a way, so now I always have to have that in my mind that I have a family that I have to protect too.” Makes sense. In a Kanye West sort of way. There’s been talk, of course, that Kimye’s marriage is in trouble; that they need a second baby to save the union . But tune in to Ellen and watch this interview with West and decide: does this really look like a man unhappy in his relationship? 41 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos 1.

For fans, the Duggar family of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting fame has long been a symbol for old-school Christian values and the virtues of family life. However, critics claim that there’s something much more nefarious going on behind the family’s wholesome facade, and now they may have found the proof. Testimony from several former cult members does not paint a pretty picture … In the past, the proud parents of those 19 kids, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, have publicly stated that they were followers of disgraced minister Bill Gothard . Before becoming involved in a sex scandal that brought down his career, Gothard was the leader of an organization known as the Institute of Basic Life Principles. Following allegations of harassment and claims that he helped cover up cases of child abuse, Gothard stepped down and several of his former followers have since spoken out about the leader who’s shaped much of the Duggar’s belief system: “I have no problem calling it a cult,” ex-IBLP member Micah Murray tells Radar . “What the Duggars are doing is putting Gothard’s philosophies on display as a positive thing, and they are not positive.” “From my experience, it has all the hallmarks of what makes cults so damaging – abusive authority structures, the way that people’s thinking and behavior is controlled, the way that people aren’t taught to trust themselves and trust their leader unquestioningly.” “I have seen a number of episodes [of 19 Kids and Counting] and it makes me very uncomfortable.” 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their kids on dates in order to maintain “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair. “I think the Duggars are probably very nice people. I think they are very sincere people. But I think that the teachings of Bill Gothard are destructive.” Murray grew up in the IBLP and broke away from the organization at age 21. He says that seeing the Duggars’ method of raising their children brings to mind his own severely strict upbringing, during which he was forced to abide by a dress code and a bizarre set of rules regarding inter-sex interaction, in accordance with IBLP teachings. Kari Underwood is another former IBLP member who founded the organization Recovering Grace in order to expose the Gothard and his more destructive teachings. She says the Duggars are quite clearly victims of Gothard and company’s sophisticated brainwashing tactics. “They seem like a lovely family,” Underwood says. “I see the Duggars as sincere people as my parents were…I believe they have made some decisions for their family that are not healthy.” Underwood points to the Duggars’ strict courtship rules , as famously depicted at length on the popular reality TV program, being particularly problematic: 5 Duggar Family Dating Rules 1. It’s Called COURTING! Dating means you’re shopping around, says Jim Bob Duggar, while courtship is the path toward marriage. Courting is getting to know each other in a group setting, both families spending time together and the couple setting goals together to determine if they are meant to marry or not. “Bringing up your children in such a way that the father makes all the decisions, sons have no choices until they’ve moved on, women have no choices, it’s a hierarchy of protection. But it’s no protection.” She adds that the family’s decision to star in a reality show is the only manner in which they’ve broken from Gothard’s teachings, but that the leader is likely accepting of this choice, as it helps bring in donations. However, such a decision may prove confusing to Michelle and Jim Bob’s children: “The children probably don’t watch much television, yet they’re on a TV show,” Underwood says, adding that right now, “Their life is confusing and inconsistent… It’s important to be consistent when you have that many rules.” Hit the comments below and tell us what you think, and watch 19 Kids and Counting online to decide for yourself if the Duggars are what critics say they are. Are they victims of an insidious cult or simply a devoutly religious family living in an increasingly secular world? We turn the discussion over to you … 13 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals 1. Jessa Gets Strapped Jessa Duggar and her then-boyfriend Ben Seewald began courting controversy almost from the moment they started dating, posing for photos like this one – a picture that now seems tame considering what they’ve been stirring up more recently.

I would never do anything publicly to pull her down.” Nicki herself referenced the intense breakup in the interview for her January Rolling Stone cover, admitting that her ex heavily influenced her latest album.

The end/beginning of the year is always prime time for celebrities to announce things like pregnancies or engagements, but is fine azz MLB baller Matt Kemp up next to take on the role of proud papa? This report started circulating via X17 Online earlier today, claiming that an unidentified “source” confirmed that Matt and his girlfriend of the last year are expecting… Baseball star Matt Kemp, 30, is expecting his first child with stylist girlfriend Nchimunya Wulf, 35, after keeping their relationship on the down-low for the past year, X17online can report exclusively. Kemp previously dated Rihanna and Khloe Kardashian, but his days of being a player seem to be coming to an end! A source close to the expectant couple tells X17online exclusively: “They’ve been living together for about a year and she’s four months along. They’ve gone on a number of trips together, and she’s even traveled with his family too. They may not be super public with their romance, but they’re head over heels and thrilled to become parents.” Earlier this fall the two traveled to her home country of Zambia to work with the Chipakata Children’s Academy Foundation, of which she is the Executive Director. Wulf recently returned to Chipakata, where she debuted her baby bump.
