Not long after she married Jeremy Vuolo, Jinger Duggar began establishing herself as her famous family’s resident rebel. The most obvious act of defiance was Jinger’s decision to start wearing pants , a violation of her parents’ dress code that reportedly didn’t sit well with patriarch Jim Bob. But that’s not the only way that Jinger has taken to publicly flouting the Duggars’ famously strict code of conduct. Jinger waited to get pregnant for more than a year after she got married, thus tossing out generations of family tradition. She became the first of her generation to leave the Duggars’ home state of Arkansas when she and Vuolo relocated to Laredo, Texas. There have even been rumors of Vuolo clashing with Jim Bob over major differences in religious doctrine. And now it looks as though Jim Bob may have finally become fed up with Jinger’s rebellious tendencies. As In Touch Weekly points out, eagle-eyed Duggar fans have noticed that Jim Bob and Michelle recently traveled to Texas … and there’s no indication that they took time out to visit the Vuolos in Laredo. Just last week, Jinger and Jeremy stopped by Magnolia , a Houston food and home goods market owned by Chip and Joanna Gaines. Interestingly, Jim Bob and Michelle visited the same store just days later, but it doesn’t look as though they spent even a few hours with Jinger and Jeremy during their time in the Lone Star state, Many have already jumped to the conclusion that this is all an indication of a major rift between Jim Bob and his headstrong daughter. When Duggar women get married, it’s their husbands, not their fathers who determine the rules they’ll live by. That’s one of the reasons potential suitors are so thoroughly vetted by Jim Bob. But every so often, someone like Jeremy slips through the cracks. A pro soccer player turned baptist preacher, Jeremy no doubt impressed Jim Bob a great deal when they first met. But it wasn’t until after he and Jinger said “I do” that the extent of Jeremy’s relative liberalism was revealed, and it’s not hard to see how Jim Bob might feel threatened. In the months since Jinger started wearing pants instead of skirts, two of her sisters have followed suit, which means her rebellious spirit might be proving infectious. Sources close to the couple tell us that Jinger has essentially instructed Jinger to forget about Jim Bob’s rules . He’s even taken to the pulpit to denounce Jim Bob’s outdated ideas about “modest attire” and the “woman’s work.” But has the situation gotten so bad that Jinger and Jim Bob are no longer on speaking terms? If that’s the case, you can expect the Duggars to do their best to keep the situation a secret … but knowing the obsessive nature of their fans, the truth likely won’t remain hidden for long.

Believe or not, Amber Portwood will become a mother of two sometime very, very soon. Believe it because it’s a fact, the “or not” part is just in there in case you need a little more time to prepare yourself for the mess that is Amber caring for another human life. Yep, Amber is due to give birth on May 13th — Mother’s Day — with her second child, her first with boyfriend Andrew Glennon. They already know they’re having a boy, and she’s said that they’ll name him James Andrew Glennon. This will be her second time giving birth, and she’s also suffering from gestational diabetes, so there’s a decent chance James will make an appearance before his due date. And when he does … well, we’ve got some concerns, we’ll say that much. It’s been several years since Amber had her daughter Leah, but as we saw on those first few seasons of Teen Mom, she just wasn’t that great at caring for her. She left her crying in her crib regularly, or so it seemed on the show, and sometimes she’d throw in a bottle of Kool-Aid to comfort her. When Leah cried, it always seemed to overwhelm Amber, much more than the average mother. Which isn’t great, because in case you haven’t heard, babies tend to cry quite a bit. The big thing that got her in trouble though was how she just wasn’t able to control herself around Leah. We all saw her beat Gary right in front of her, not to mention the countless times she screamed at him in her presence. There’s just been so, so many examples of Amber’s questionable parenting skills, even recently , that it’s hard to be hopeful that things will be any different this time around. And when you consider the things that she admitted during last night’s Teen Mom OG reunion special … it’s just not looking great. Amber did her segment via Skype, since presumably she wasn’t up to flying to New York, and things started out rough when she got angry after watching a recap of her scenes from this season. Once again, she took issue with Gary’s totally fair and true remarks about how she’d been an absent mother, and once again, she defended herself by saying she was too depressed to see her daughter . “The main thing is when I was going through everything after me and Matt broke up, people have to understand, I was with that man for three and a half years,” she explained. “It was a really horrible relationship. It was an abusive relationship — mentally and physically.” She said that the relationship “turned me into a really unhappy, depressed person and I couldn’t keep going on with that.” As we saw in the last season, he failed a lie detector test with a question about infidelity, and she said “that was the end because I couldn’t stay with a man who would ever do that to me.” She finally broke up with him for good last May, and — this is the relevant part — after the split, she said she “spiraled out of control.” Dr. Drew asked her if she’d managed to stay sober during that tough time, and she admitted she hadn’t. “I was drinking horribly,” she revealed. “I might not have been doing a lot of drugs and things like that but I was definitely trying to drown my sorrows.” So wait, if she wasn’t doing “a lot of drugs,” does that mean she was doing some drugs? Many viewers seem to think so. On Marriage Boot Camp, Amber has been completely out of control, and some people think that her behavior there is more indicative of drug abuse than drinking. Right after filming, Brandi Glanville even seemed to insinuate that she was abusing pills during filming, which was her drug of choice before she went to prison. View Slideshow: Gary Shirley to Amber Portwood: You’re a Terrible Mom! (But, Sort of Sorry For Calling You Out!) These days, Amber does look and sound a lot healthier and much more stable than she did last year. But if she was drinking this much and possibly dabbling in drugs during the same time she conceived? Amber, why do you have to worry us like this?

Dancing with the Stars announced its full cast for Season 26 on Good Morning America today. A shortened season, upcoming episodes will feature 10 past and present athletes competing for the Mirrorball Trophy, with participants including: The NBA’s all-time leading scorer, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The most famous women’s softball pitcher in history, Jennie Finch. And Tonya Harding. Yes, that Tonya Harding. The very same Tonya Harding whose ex-husband confessed in 1994 to having masterminded an assault of Harding’s chief figure skating rival at the time, Nancy Kerrigan. You can go look it up if you somehow aren’t familiar with this scandal: Harding is VERY strongly believed to at the very least been aware of a plan to break Kerrigan’s kneecap just weeks prior to the Winter Olympics. The former figure skater recently came out and admitted as much . Despite Harding likely having played a role in severely injuring Kerrigan, and despite Harding showing absolutely no remorse in the years since, she has somehow been celebrated of late. Heck, the disgraced ex-sports star even attended the Golden Globe Awards in January because a movie based on her life was nominated for Best Picture. Fast forward a few months and Harding will now be placed in the spotlight on Dancing with the Stars. She’ll be given a platform to resurrect her image… just one year after the show cast Kerrigan as a contestant! We can’t imagine how Nancy must be feeling right about now, but we need not use our imagination when it comes to Twitter. As you’re about to see below, social media users are aghast over ABC’s decision to team up with a basic criminal such as Harding. “Have people forgotten what Tonya Harding did to Nancy Kerrigan? Why is she being celebrated and part of this show? I don’t get it. #DWTS,” wrote one disgruntled individual, while another added: “I won’t be watching DWTS this season, I have no use for Tonya Harding who has no right being showcased anywhere other than in a jail cell.” Shortly after the Kerrigan assault took place, Harding received three years probation and was sentenced to 500 hours of community service. She was also assessed a $160,000 fine. Three years later, she was banned for life by the U.S. Figure Skating Figure Skating Association from all sanctioned events for her involvement in the scandal. What has she done to her a second shot at fame and fortune? She sat back while a studio made a movie about her. Truly, that’s all that has happened in the decades since. This really is pretty disgusting. Where do YOU stand on Tonya Harding going Dancing with the Stars? View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars Athletes Season: Cast Revealed!
