Joseph Duggar & Kendra Caldwell: Slammed For Seeking Wedding Gifts From Fans!

If you watch Counting On online , you know that the Duggar family is in the midst of what folks in the business world call aggressive expansion. It’s a full-blown flurry of births, pregnancies, and weddings, and things are progressing so rapidly that the big events are starting to overlap. In fact, Joy-Anna Duggar’s recent wedding was the scene of a major milestone for one of her siblings: Joseph Duggar proposed to Kendra Caldwell during the reception and, as is customary for members of the Duggar clan, only a few months will pass between the proposal and the exchange of vows. Last week, we learned the date of Joseph and Kendra’s wedding , and to the surprise of no one, it’s coming right up. The couple will say “I do” on October 7, in Rogers, Arkansas. It’s unsual for Duggar couples to be so forward about the date and location of their nuptials, but Joseph and Kendra might have ulterior motives for sharing their  Several members of the Duggar family, including Joy-Anna, have taken to social media to confirm the date of the wedding. Presumably, Joseph and Kendra would’ve posted the news, too, were it not for the fact that the Duggars frown on the idea of their children posting on social media prior to marriage. So what’s wrong with sharing wedding details online? Well, nothing, per se. The problem in this case, is that Joy-Anna and others also decided to share the couple’s wedding registry online, and to many fans, the move seems like a desperate cash grab. There’s nothing unusual about the items on Joseph and Kendra’s registry . It’s mostly common household items and gift certificate to chain restaurants. The problem is that posting the wish list publicly seems like away to solicit gifts from fans. Not surprisingly, some fans expressed their disapproval on Joy-Anna’s Instagram page: “Very, very uncool. There are ways to circulate this info to the guests. This a gift solicitation for the FANS,” wrote one follower. “Why would complete strangers who aren’t even invited to the wedding purchase wedding gifts for them?” commented another. Some were so surprised by the move that they assumed Joy-Anna had been hacked: “Were you hacked, cause this would be a great scam for someone trying to take advantage of the couple and get their gifts. Also, if not hacked, still a scam. Maybe ask people to donate to a charity in honor of your wedding? Ridiculous,” wrote one fan. The post hasn’t been deleted, so a hack seems unlikely.

This isn’t the first time that a controversy has erupted aroung the Duggars asking for money from fans, and as in previous cases, the family seems unapologetic in their desire for more stuff. But hey, we’re sure they can point to a Bible verse that they’ve interpreted as a paraphrasing of Michael Douglas’ “greed is good” speech from Wall Street .

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd: Married!

It’s wedding season, y’all! This particular time of year, people seem to like to get married, celebrities and normal folk alike. And it seems like Dancing with the Stars power couple Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are those kind of people. Yesterday, Maksim and Peta got married in an absolutely gorgeous ceremony at an actual castle in Long Island. And, unlike most celebrities, they allowed their guests to take photos throughout the ceremony and reception, and to share those photos on social media. That’s how we have that beautiful photo of Maksim and Peta dancing during their wedding reception, and photos of … well, you’ll see! Since both the bride and groom are professional dancers on Dancing with the Stars, it makes sense that many, many stars of the show were there — both in attendance and in the wedding party. Not all of them though, because Julianne Hough also got married yesterday . See what we mean about it being wedding season? Val Chmerkovskiy, Maksim’s brother and another dancing pro, was the best man, and Tony Dovolani was one of his groomsmen. Meanwhile, Peta chose Sharna Burgess and one-time celebrity contestant Rumer Willis as two of her bridesmaids. Nyle DiMarco and Candace Cameron Bure were guests to the couple’s big day — Candace and Maks even shared a dance during the reception! Peta was walked down the aisle by her father, and her dress was an ivory ball gown fit for a princess. Maksim chose a stylish white jacket for his wedding ensemble — doesn’t he look so handsome? After the wedding, the couple spent some time outside with their guests before moving indoors for the reception. For their first dance, they didn’t show off like you might think a couple of people famous for their dancing skills would. Instead, they kept things simple. Simple and adorable. Speaking of adorable, Maks actually sang to Peta at one point. Can you even handle how precious this whole thing sounds? At one point during the reception, Peta left to change into her second gown of the night: a feathered dress that looked to be a bit easier to move around in. It’s also worth noting that both Peta and Maks looked painfully happy in each and every photo from their wedding. Sounds like a lovely day for lovely people, right? It’s also pretty special since the wedding comes six months, nearly to the day, after they gave birth to their first child, a boy named Shai Aleksander Chmerkovskiy. It was nearly a year before Shai was born that his parents got engaged, too — Maksim proposed to Peta in December of 2015. There’s no word on if little Shai had a role in the wedding, nor are there any photos of him, but still, it all sounds very cute. Congrats to the happy couple!

Ryan Edwards Drug Use Shocker: Was He Caught Shooting Up?

If you watch Teen Mom: OG online , then by now you’re likely familiar with the ongoing drama surrounding Ryan Edwards’ substance abuse issues. Edwards checked into rehab last month, but not before creating some of the most appalling scenes in the franchise’s history as a result of his addictions. The most recent TM:OG season finale offered viewers a glimpse at Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer’s wedding – a grim, rushed affair that was attended only by Edwards’ parents. Even more surprising than the sullen nature of the occasion, of course, was the manner in which Edwards and Mackenzie arrived at the chapel. A visibly intoxicated Ryan drove himself and his fiancee to the church. He was so high that he frequently nodded off behind the wheel, and Standifer switched off the dash camera, so as to prevent viewers from seeing just how inebriated Edwards really was. On social media, there was a wild uproar from fans over the decision to let Edwards drive under the influence . (Both Standifer and MTV have taken considerable flak for the scene.) Now, eagle-eyed viewers have noticed that further cause for concern was captured on camera in the controversial episode. In several screen grabs from the finale it appears as though Edwards may have recently used intravenous drugs. During the controversial scene in the car, Standifer accuses Edwards of taking Xanax before his wedding ceremony, but now it looks as though even those whom he’s closest to did not realize the severity of Ryan’s drug problem. Dr. Pawan Grover, an addiction specialist who has not treated Edwards tells Radar Online that footage from the show seems to indicate that Ryan had been injecting some sort of substance , most likely of the opioid variety. “Based on Edwards’ history with addiction issues on the show, the images are consistent with track marks,” says Dr. Grover. “Which is a tell-tale sign of chronic intravenous drug use.” Fortunately, Edwards conpleted treatment for his addictions earlier this month. Unfortunately, he remained in in-patient care for a scant four weeks and announced his release with a brutal social media attack on his son’s mother, Maci Bookout. Many fans are taking that as an indication that Ryan has yet to address all of his demons. We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Teen Mom Fans to Mackenzie Standifer: Why Did You Let Ryan Edwards Drive High?!

If you watched last night’s episode of Teen Mom: OG then you know that Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer tied the knot in a ceremony that was captured by an MTV camera crew. And you also know Ryan and Mackenzie’s wedding was one of the saddest in reality TV history, with more cameramen on hand than actual guests. The wedding was a rush job, planned with the goal of giving Ryan a leg up in upcoming custody negotiations with his ex, Maci Bookout. Just days after tying the knot, Edwards checked into rehab to receive treatment for persistent substance abuse issues. At the time of the wedding, however, it appears he was still using. And to the shock of many viewers, he drove to the ceremony while visibly intoxicated. Fans of the show took to social media to express their outrage that no one intervened to stop Ryan from operating a vehicle and getting married, all while so high that he struggled to keep his eyes open. “Ryan was wasted, his mom was crying, and Mackenzie was standing there the whole time without a care in the world right before they got married,” wrote one fan on The Hollywood Gossip ‘s Facebook page . “Seems she’s in it for the fame and the money and doesn’t care how it’s affecting anybody in Ryan’s family. Everything about her that they showed last night was sad and desperate on her part.” Others blamed MTV for allowing the potentially deadly scene to continue: “I was absolutely stunned that MTV kept filming when Ryan was driving under the influence of drugs, putting other people’s lives at risk but as long as they get their ratings,” one viewer commented, adding: “Unbelievable, the show is a joke now.” Other fans focused on the fact that Ryan made one of the most important decisions of his life while high out of his mind, and there’s a very good chance he doesn’t remember his own wedding day: “He is in rehab, but honestly I wouldn’t want to marry anyone who isn’t sober at the times our vows are made,” wrote one viewer. “I felt bad for his parents and Kenzie seeing it his mom wasn’t crying bc other people weren’t there it was bc of the state of being her son was in.” Some fans accused Mackenzie of enabling Ryan along with his parents, Others encouraged Maci to continue to fight to limit Ryan’s visitation rights. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Couples: RANKED From Worst to First! One viewer may have summed up the sentiments best, writing: “I was in total shock and seriously couldn’t believe what I saw. I’ve watched EVERY episode for YEARS. This…by far… was the craziest.” Watch Teen Mom online to relive the many struggles that brought Ryan to where he is today.

Kate Middleton Gives Us Royal Wedding Flashbacks

It isn’t just that Kate Middleton looks stunningly royal in this white outfit for the Royal Ascot. Though of course she does. But her outfit seems perfectly tailored (literally) to be a callback to her wedding dress. Her white lace ensemble isn’t identical to her wedding dress, but come on . The similarities can’t be accidental. She and William had one of the most famous weddings on the whole planet. Ever. So no, we don’t imagine that a tailor was just sitting around trying out different designs and produced this by accident. Or even unconsciously. Whatever the motivation behind it, though, it’s a gorgeous design. White can be a bold choice in the spring, but it tends to contrast better with rich greens and floral colors and helps you to stand out. Not that Kate Middleton could ever just fade into the background. There is one major difference that sets this apart from her wedding dress, and we don’t mean the lack of a veil. She’s wearing a nametag. Obviously, she wasn’t wearing anything of the sort on her wedding day. That would have been silly — she was the bride! Though … she’s still the Duchess of Cambridge … she’s married to Prince William. She’s Kate Middleton . Surely a name tag is just as ridiculous now as it was then. Who on the planet, let alone who there at the Royal Ascot, is going to fail to notice? But, if you think about it, maybe Kate was wearing one so that others wouldn’t feel discouraged about wearing theirs. If Kate Middleton’s wearing a name tag, no one in the world should feel silly wearing one to the same event, you know? And that seems in keeping with her character. Though let’s not rule out that maybe she just thought that it would be hilarious if she wore a name tag. Wearing white has traditionally been a bold statement. And no, it has nothing to do with virginity — that association came in later. No; wearing white was historically a status symbol. Basically, it meant that you could have your clothing cleaned whenever. Think back to times when clothes getting washed meant that they were scrubbed by the river. Yeah — it’s hard to picture them getting as white as they first were, ever again. Royal colors came from expensive dyes — that’s a different thing. How white came to be part of wedding dresses is its own long story. But Kate’s wedding dress is one of the world’s most famous. And her Royal Ascot outfit is letting us relive that signature look. The monarchy’s continued existence is controversial at best. But wearing white is no longer indicative of wealth — or poverty. Or anything silly like virginity — there aren’t many virgin brides around. We just think that it looks nice on Kate. But then, doesn’t everything? She’s come a long way since the days when she was known as Squeak . View Slideshow: 15 Things You May Have Missed From Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Royal Wedding

Jessa Duggar on Joy-Anna’s Wedding: It’s Finally Her Turn!

Last month,  Joy-Anna Duggar married Austin Forsyth in a surprisingly secretive ceremony. Usually, the Duggars aren’t quite so clandestine about their nuptials. In fact, news of past Duggar weddings was pretty much shouted from every rooftop in Arkansas. This time around, the Duggars even posted a fake wedding registry for Joy-Anna online in an effort to throw fans off the trail. So why was Joy-Anna and Austin’s wedding shrouded in such secrecy? Why, because a new season of Counting On premieres tonight, of course! Yes, now more than ever, the Duggars are reliant on weddings and pregnancies to bring viewers back to their reality show, which has seen its ratings decline steadily over the past two seasons. Joy-Anna and Austin shared certain details on social media, but fans will be forced to tune into tonight’s premiere in order to get the full run-down. And naturally, the rest of the family is in full-blown promo mode at the moment. Earlier today, People magazine published a transcript of a scene from tonight’s episode in which Jessa Duggar gushes about her soon-to-be-married younger sister and. “Being here in the bridal suite while all the girls are getting ready, definitely takes me back to my wedding day,” Jessa says in the episode. “It makes me reminisce about all the sweet memories just hours before my own wedding. I know the excitement that Joy is experiencing right now; the anticipation. It’s a big, big day.” Jessa goes on to describe Joy-Anna’s mindset in the moments before saying “I do”: “Joy is just staying relaxed, she’s not getting worked up,” she says. “She’s just focusing on one thing at a time and getting ready … before we know it, the wedding will be here.” And Jessa’s not the only one feeling nostalgic. It was just a few months ago that Jinger Duggar married Jeremy Vuolo , but Jinge is already fondly reflecting on those days like she’s the old lady from Titanic or something: “It really does seem like it was just yesterday that Jeremy and I were walking down the aisle and about to get married,” she says. “I just can’t believe it’s Joy’s time to kiss. I still remember her as the little girl that I would help out with things … it’s crazy that it’s her wedding day, but we’re so excited for her.” “Joy’s time to kiss” is kind of a creepy description, but our creepiness tolerance is pretty high when it comes to the Duggars, so we’ll let that one slide. We will say that someone should shoot Jessa and Jinger an email reminding them that Jana Duggar exists. It can’t be easy to hear your younger sisters gush about how it’s finally time for your even younger sister to start her life while you’re still cooped up at the compound helping to raise your small army of siblings. But hey, this is the life she’s chosen. Yes, we just quoted The Godfather in reference to Jana Duggar. Jana is gangsta and we refuse to back down from that stance. Watch Counting On online in order to get caught up in time for tonight’s premiere. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar Wedding Photos Released: Check Out Mrs. Forsyth’s Big Day!
