Thaddaeus McAdams/Getty Images Cardi B Says She And Offset Are Picking Wedding Songs The date of Cardi B and Offset’s holy hood love union is drawing nearer and nearer — provided these two can manage to make it to the altar — and it looks like the engaged duo has been making some serious strides in their wedding planning. As Cardi revealed in a new interview with Beats 1 Radio’s Julie Adenuga, she and her YRN Offset have narrowed down their list of possible wedding jams for the ceremony. At first, Cardi played coy, hesitating to spill the beans on her possible love jams at the risk of “sounding sensitive.” But she eventually revealed that it was now between Al B. Sure! (we’re guessing ‘Night and Day’ because…well what other song did he have?) and a selection from Grace Jones, though she didn’t reveal which song from each artist she was considering. Take a look: You think these are two good options? We were picturing something a little trappier for their ceremony… Splash/Getty
For months now, the biggest story surrounding the Duggar clan has had to do with Joy-Anna Duggar’s pregnancy and its timeline. Rumors that the family is misleading fans with regard to her due date have been running rampant ever since the announcement. Reports of Joy-Anna’s “shotgun wedding” have been circulating non-stop, and to be fair, there’s a good deal of evidence to support the theory. The idea that Joy secretly became pregnant prior to marrying Austin Forsyth would obviously not go over well with her family. At all. And the proof just keeps piling up. Joy-Anna and Austin have admitted to breaking the “courtship rules” that her family holds dear, and that was before any of this. Then, the soon-to-be newlyweds rather suspiciously moved their wedding date up by several months without any explanation. Just last week, Joy further raised eyebrows when she commented on the news that Jinger Duggar is expecting her first child . The 20-year-old remarked that Jinger would be giving birth just six months after her, which, as many fans pointed out, is some fuzzy math. That doesn’t quite match up with the timeline offered by the Duggars themselves, and it doesn’t take an expert to see why. The family claims Joy got pregnant at the start of her honeymoon, which began shortly after her wedding on May 26. If that were true, the Counting On star’s due date would be sometime at the end of February or the beginning of March. Earlier this week, Joy and Austin made an online baby shower registry, in which they revealed that her due date is February 22, 2018. The revelation has Duggar fans split. Some claim it’s evidence that Joy got pregnant before her due date, and others claim it reveals the exact opposite. How does that work, you ask? While it’s true that Joy-Anna’s “official” due date is less than nine months after her wedding, it certainly isn’t by much. The news thus puts to rest the rumor that Joy got pregnant in March, thus prompting the rescheduling of her nuptials. Skeptics point out, however, that even if Joy got pregnant on her wedding night, her due date would likely be later than February 22. Obviously, the matter is far from resolved. If she gives birth around the time she says she’s due, it probably won’t be completely settled even after she welcomes her baby. If Joy delivers before her due date, the nay-sayers will insist its solid evidence that she was lying about her conception date all along. Duggar loyalists will point out that every pregnancy is different, and that babies arrive well ahead of schedule every day. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar Pregnancy Raises One Huge Question Who’s right, and who’s wrong here? Possibly both, possibly neither. At least based on what she’s saying, assuming that’s true, it’s hard to conclusively know. In fact, we may never know for sure. Either way, though, it’s one more controversy – and a pretty big one, at that – for a family that’s known little else in recent years.
Hasn’t it been such a joy having Mackenzie Standifer on Teen Mom OG? Not because she’s like some great person or anything like that, it’s just that she’s been making for some really, really great TV. She’s been in Ryan Edwards’ life for a little over a year now, and that may sound crazy, considering all they’ve been through in that time, but it’s true. She filed for divorce from her first husband in the summer of 2016, the divorce was finalized that winter, and a few days later, Ryan proposed. Then, though they’d been planning a big wedding for November, they got married in an awkward, rushed ceremony last May so that, as Mackenzie explained, they’d have some sort of advantage in Ryan’s custody case for Bentley. It didn’t make sense then, it doesn’t make sense now, but that’s what happened. They got married in a parking lot down by the river, Ryan was high out of his mind, and very shortly after the wedding, he went off to rehab . Even though he’d been doing heroin, he felt comfortable leaving rehab early, and a couple of months after that he was caught talking to other women on Tinder. And by “talking,” we mean “propositioning and asking very graphic questions about their genitals .” Still, after all that, Mackenzie stood by him, and they even went ahead and had that big wedding they’d planned for November, With Ryan, we’ve seen him on the show for nearly a decade now, so we know that he doesn’t usually feel too many feelings, and he rarely seems to care about anyone but himself. So his reasoning for staying with Mackenzie … well, it’s pretty whatever. But Mack is new to the show, so we don’t know nearly as much about her. We know that she’s 21 years old and she already has a son and she’s already on her second marriage. What’s her motivation for sticking with Ryan? Does she really love his immature ass that much? Is she just trying to get that Teen Mom money and/or fame? It’s hard to tell, but one thing is for sure: whatever she’s doing, she’s really going for it. And what better way to cement your questionable relationship with a reality star than by having a baaaaaaby?! She hasn’t come out with a pregnancy announcement just yet, but Mackenzie has come out with approximately a million ads on Instagram. It’s starting to look like she’ll advertise the hell out of anything and everything, and her latest product is some sort of fancy scientific bracelet. In the caption, she explained that “One of my resolutions for 2018 is to become more in tune with my body,” and that she’s going to get that done with this bracelet. She said that it “works while you sleep to gather insights on your monthly cycle, and tells you when your 5 most fertile days are.”‘ This way, she added, “We’ll be ready to go if we ever decide to try for Baby #3!” Girl. Girl . Suspiciously enough, this isn’t the first time she’s hinted at having a baby with Ryan. In a Q&A she posted on her website last month, she wrote that ” We both want ONE more . God’s plan is good enough for us. We will have one in His timing!” Usually when people say things about leaving their family planning up to God, they mean that they aren’t using any kind of birth control, and whatever happens, happens. View Slideshow: Mackenzie Standifer: I Saved Ryan Edwards’ Life!!! That’s not to say that this is what Mackenzie is trying to communicate with all of this, but considering everything … Well, we’ll just say that we wouldn’t be surprised to hear a pregnancy announcement from these two sometime soon.

Life is tough for a Duggar woman. Like, real tough. You get married as young as possible most of the time, and from then on out you’re pretty much just a baby factory. Yep, if your last name is Duggar and you have a uterus, you best believe that uterus is going to do some hard time . Oh, and definitely be prepared to be judged for each and every choice, valid or terrible, you make while parenting your gaggle of kids. One of your “duties” is to make yourself available to your husband at all times — meaning if he wants sex, well, then you better get to sexin’. If you like fashion and beauty, you don’t have too many options, because you have to dress modestly and haircuts should be few and far between. (Apparently perms are OK though? Whatever, Michelle.) The Duggars believe so strongly in their fashion choices that it’s been actual news when one of the girls has worn pants . For real. Now that we’ve gone over all that, let’s take a gander at this new photo of Joseph Duggar’s wife, Kendra Caldwell, with Amy Duggar: With the rules of Duggar ladies fresh in your mind, there’s a good chance you see a few issues with the picture already, right? If you don’t though, don’t worry — Amy posted this photo on Instagram, and you know her followers were ready and willing to tear this apart. First, let’s take a look at Kendra’s attire here. Because yes, she is wearing a skirt while tubing! “Is that a skirt in the snow?!” one concerned citizen asked. Another said “It’s weird to me to be sledding in a skirt — it’s actually hilarious to me.” For the Duggars though, the skirt does make sense. Kendra’s wearing pants underneath the skirt, but the skirt’s purpose is to hide any of her figure that might have shown through the pants. Modesty, get it? The bigger issue here for most people is that Kendra and Joseph just announced that they’re expecting their first child , so for Kendra to do a physical activity while pregnant, that’s not OK. One person called this “not something you should do while pregnant,” and another said “Kendra um aren’t you pregnant not very wise.” “I’m not her doctor but I do care about a precious unborn baby’s safety,” someone else wrote. “I don’t think people should intentionally do things that could cause harm to their unborn baby.” “I would just not risk getting a injury to myself or my baby if it wasn’t a must,” yet another cautious commenter said. “I’m sure there is safer activities she can do while she’s pregnant that are fun and less risky.” “She can flip on the tube or hit a bump or tree. I just don’t think it’s the best idea.” View Slideshow: Joseph Duggar & Kendra Caldwell Wedding: First Kiss (and More) Revealed! The thing is, and many of Amy’s followers pointed this out, Kendra is barely three months pregnant, if that. Doing some tubing down a hill like this isn’t going to hurt anything. What do you think: should Kendra take her skirt and her fetus inside, or is she fine?
Hey, so, remember how Prince Harry kind of threw shade at Meghan Markle’s family ? Apparently, his offhand comment about how well his fiancee was getting along with his family managed to enrage all of his in-laws. Including Meghan Markle’s father, who is reportedly “extremely hurt.” Recently, the Ginger Prince himself spoke about how well Meghan Markle was getting along with the royal family. Unfortunately, Harry may have gone a little too far in his praise. At one point, he said this: “She’s getting in there and it’s the family that I suppose she’s never had.” That seems like a tremendous insult hurled at Meghan’s family — his future in-laws. And it’s not going over well. Thomas Markle Jr. reports to The Daily Mail that his father, Thomas Markle, is “extremely hurt” by Prince Harry’s words. He spoke up in defense of his father’s family skills. “He dedicated the majority of all his time and everything to her.” Thomas Jr. is 51; 15 years older than Meghan. That tremendous age gap makes us wonder just how close they were. “He made sure she had what she needed to be successful and get to where she’s at today.” Having what you need to become successful isn’t all there is to family. Thomas Jr. continues to defend his dad and Meghan’s upbringing. “She’s had a really good family.” Wendy Williams has pointed out that Meghan Markle’s family has had its … troubles, to say the least. “We were as close as we could be, as tight as we could be, that’s what we were.” Those are some interesting qualifiers for Thomas Jr. to use. “We’d get together on Christmases, on holidays, on birthdays, on Thanksgivings.” That sounds like the relationship that most people have with cousins who live out of state, not with their immediate family. “It was always somewhere, even though we lived in different parts of [Los Angeles], we still all got together.” We should probably mention that Thomas Jr. hasn’t actually spoken to his sister since 2011. That’s nearly 7 years, folks. “Obviously, she had a family. She was very privileged. She got everything she ever wanted.” It’s always suspicious to hear one person say that another always got whatever they wanted. No one can speak to that but the person in question. “We did the best that we could in terms of getting together for holidays and whatnot.” Thomas Jr. follows up his defense of the Markle family by adding that he’d really love an invitation to the royal wedding. “I don’t know if she gets to invite who she wants. But she’ll reach out if she wants me there, she’ll call me.” That seems less likely after this interview, don’t you think? “She knows where to find me. But that’s up to her, there’s no pressure.” By virtue of saying this in an interview, he’s applying pressure. But he also makes it clear that his interest in attending the wedding is hardly personal: “I wouldn’t mind seeing my little sister have the biggest wedding in the world. That would be incredible. … If my dad doesn’t walk her down the aisle, then I will.” Before Thomas Jr. talked about how neat it would be to see his estranged sister get married, another Markle had already weighed in. Meghan Markle’s half-sister clapped back at Prince Harry . Apparently, that’s just Samantha Grant’s style, as she said: “She has a large family. She always did. Our dad is amazing and completely self sacrificing. We made it so that she had two houses. How fun it was!” Look, you can put a positive spin on divorce all that you like. Sometimes, a divorce is the best thing that ever happens to a family. But just because you’re happy with the way that things were doesn’t mean that everyone was. If, as appears to be the case, Meghan has told Harry less-than-happy feelings about her family growing up, those are her experiences to share. It’s wildly uncool for her siblings to “correct” her feelings just because they want their names in some headlines. View Slideshow: A Royal Christmas: Meghan! Harry! Kate! William! Together!
When Snooki and Jionni LaValle got married back in 2014, they truly defied the odds. No, not because of that dumb “don’t look for love on the Jersey Shore” mantra that some of Snooks’ roommates tried to make happen back in Season 1, but because of the circumstances under which their relationship began. Usually, when romances start with one party telling the world that the other has a small penis while doing her best to cheat on him, it doesn’t bode well for the future. Add to that the fact that Jionni bailed after just a few hours when he attempted to visit Snooki during her time in Italy, and it’s pretty clear that the smart money would have been on these two never making it to the altar. But to the utter shock of many, Snooki and Jionni tied the knot, and they’re currently raising two kids together. Of course, for a while now, the LaValles relationship has looked more like an amicable co-parenting partnership than an actual marriage. And now fans are starting to suspect that the lack of romance is putting a strain on the couple. Rumors of Snooki and Jionni living separate lives have been circulating for years. Only in the past few months, however, have the LaValles stopped trying to hide the growing distance between them. Fans have noticed that Jionni is nowhere to be found on Snooks’ social media page. The couple is seldom seen together in public, and Jionni didn’t attend Deena Cortese’s wedding or any of the recent Shore reunion events with his wife. “How come your husband is never in anything ever?” one fan recently asked on Snooks’ Instagram page. “No more Jionni?” echoed another. “Jionni never goes out with her and she seems to be going out a lot, ” a source close to the couple tells Radar Online. “He can’t say he has to take care of the kids because they live a few minutes away from his entire family.” It’s not hard to see why fans are so curious. According to Radar, Jionni and Snooki were spotted attending a comedy show together earlier this year, but they haven’t been photographed together with their kids since 2015! Until today (seemingly in response to the latest round of rumors) the only pic Snooki had posted of Jionni in the past month was a throwback to their wedding day. But who’s to say? Maybe they’re one of those couples that can contentedly live separate lives and stay together for the kids. Fans are a bit taken aback, of course, as Snooki … never struck as the unemotional type.

Back in August, Joy-Anna Duggar announced that she’s pregnant and ever since, fans have been regarding her claims about her conception date with serious skepticism. According to Joy, she got pregnant just days after marrying Austin Forsyth . When she made her announcement, the 20-year-old newlywed stated that she was roughly three months along. Fans cried foul and began speculating that Joy had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and was misleading the public in hopes of concealing that fact. To the theorists’ credit, there’s an awful lot of evidence to support that claim. Before their wedding, Joy-Anna and Austin admitted to breaking her family’s “courtship rules,” but did not go into detail with regard to the extent of their violation. (Joy’s family is so strict that they may have broken the rules simply by holding hands for too long.) So from the start, fans suspected Joy and Austin of defying her parents by engaging in premarital sex. The fact that Joy sported a sizable baby bump in her announcement photo only added fuel to the fire. In the months since, speculation has only grown, with several tabloid outlets speaking with doctors who examined photos and confirmed that Joy is further along than she claims . Now, we’re being presented with perhaps the most compelling evidence to date that the Duggars have something to hide, thanks to a family insider who’s confirmed to Radar Online that Joy’s due date is being kept under wraps . “They don’t really want the due date shared,” the insider says. “They prefer to keep it private.” Joy’s mother and several of her sisters and sisters-in-law have gotten pregnant in the public eye, and this is the first time that any of them has made any effort to keep their due date a secret. Earlier this week, we learned that Joy will not reveal the gender of her baby, and many fans believe the reason is that Duggar gender reveals are typically accompanied by dated sonogram photos. Obviously, if Joy is misleading fans about her date of conception, it would be difficult for her to post any such medical information without giving herself away. It’s impossible to say with absolute certainty that the Duggars are being less than truthful with regard to when Joy’s pregnancy began. But each new day seems to bring new evidence to that effect.

At one point, Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin were considered one of the most stable couples in the Teen Mom franchise. Oh, how times have changed. These days, Kailyn and Javi have been divorced for over a year, but they seem unable to stop rehashing what went wrong in their marriage. Part of the problem is that fans are still intensely interested in learning every detail of Lowry and Marroquin's drama, which means there's an extensive market for their tales of marital woe. It's a state of affairs (no pun intended) that's led to some very surprising revelations… 1. Kailyn and Javi In Happier Times Even after their divorce, Kailyn and Javi briefly managed to maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship. Sadly, those days are long over… 2. Cheating Rumors Allegations of infidelity led to the dissolution of Kail and Javi’s marriage, and it seems those suspicions are still preventing the former couple from reaching a place where they can be civil with one another. 3. Another Deployment Javi is soon to be headed overseas for another tour of duty with US Air Force. No doubt he and Kailyn would like to iron out their differences before he leaves, but it’s a task that may prove impossible. 4. Briana Drama Part of the problem, of course, is that Javi is currently dating Kailyn’s rival and Teen Mom 2 co-star, Briana DeJesus. 5. Boot Camp Blues Javi and Kailyn appear on the current season of Marriage Boot Camp, despite the fact that their marriage is long over. Their stated goal was to improve their co-parenting relationship, but that doesn’t appear to be happening. 6. The Truth Comes Out On tonight’s episode, Kailyn and Javi will both submit to lie detector tests. Needless to say, the interrogations did not go smoothly… View Slideshow
When Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth got married back in May, fans of Joy’s famous family were full of questions. The biggest mystery surrounded the date of the nuptials. For some reason, Joy and Austin moved their wedding from October to May, and never offered an explanation as to why. Three months later, Joy-Anna announced her pregnancy, and everything started to make sense. Fans reasoned that Joy and Austin had violated the famous Duggar courtship rules by engaging in premarital sex. The rescheduled wedding was viewed as an attempt to conceal the fact that Joy had gotten pregnant before saying “I do.” The fact that Joy-Anna has all but disappeared from public view in recent weeks hasn’t helped her family’s efforts to convince Counting On viewers that she waited to have sex until after she was married. Joy and Austin were both absent from this year’s Duggar Thanksgiving photo , but it’s possible that they simply decided to join Austin’s family for the holiday. Whatever the case, the effort to keep Joy out of the spotlight has done little to silence suspicious fans, many of whom have done some digging to unearth what they believe is solid evidence of Joy’s premarital conception: That’s a photo from Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell’s wedding that took place back in September. As many fans have pointed out, Joy would have been about four months pregnant at that point, but it looks as though she may be further along here. “That bump is NOT 4 months,” tweeted one viewer. “She’s at least 6 months pregnant!” Duggar defenders have repeatedly used the “every pregnancy is different” argument to explain what appear to be discrepancies in the timeline of Joy’s pregnancy. But the evidence that Joy isn’t being entirely truthful does seem to keep piling up. Some skeptics point to an October Instagram post in which Joy stated that she could already feel the baby kick. Doctors say first-time mothers generally don’t “until closer to 25 weeks.” Again, not exactly solid evidence that Joy got pregnant out of wedlock, but it’s not hard to see why so many are suspicious. Several medical professionals have stated that Joy-Anna is further along than she claims , but their opinions are based only on photos of the 20-year-old mom-to-be. Whatever the case, you can be sure that if Joy and Austin did engage in premarital sex, the Duggars will continue to do their damnedest to cover it up.
