Duggar Family To Vacation At Dollywood!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 18:09:00 GMT

The Duggar family of TLC's 18 Kids & Counting fame are taking their giant brood on vacation! Can you imagine planning a trip for that many children? True, there's only 17 at home now- oldest son Josh is married and expecting a baby with wife Anna - but still, that's a lot of preparation.

The family will be heading to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood next month - and will participate in the annual Dolly Parton parade - and they will also shot scenes for their reality show on TLC. The honorary parade float that has been designed for them has been kept secret, but whatever it is, I'm guessing it's HUGE. The dates for their visit are May 5 - 9.

The trip will have them traveling 750 miles from their hometown of Springdale, Ark and they'll feature highlights of their journey, their time at Pigeon Forge and Dollywood for a summer edition of their show.

The Duggar clan will visit Parkway attractions, enjoy live comedy and musical theater performances, and go to Zorb, the mountain-side free-fall inside a gigantic ball. Does that sound safe for kids?

I just keep picturing the amount of crap they'll have to pack and the laundry that will need to be done when they get home! I go nuts if our family of six goes away - can't even imagine 19 or 20 people!

Another Duggar Baby On The Way! (VIDEO)

Sassy Smith — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:32:00 GMT

TLC's 18 Kids & Counting family, the Duggars have some exciting news - there is another Duggar baby on the way!

Video link after the jump!

Before you have a stroke, believing it's Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar expecting their 19th child - it's not. However, Michelle and Jim Bob are soon-to-be grandparents! Their oldest son Josh and his new bride Anna are pregnant with their first baby.

The family broke their happy news on Monday's TODAY Show.

Anna found out she was pregnant on Feb. 2 and is due Oct. 12.

She said, "I am three months right now and feeling great. Morning sickness is pretty much all gone. I'm looking forward to having my baby."

Josh said he was the one to tell Anna she was pregnant.

Anna said, "I took the pregnancy test, but I couldn’t bear to look at it because I didn’t want to be disappointed." Josh was able to keep the positive test a secret and made the announcement to the whole family, including Anna, later that night. "I said, 'You’re going to join the Mommy team,'" said Josh.

You can watch the TODAY Show video clip here.

Congrats! I wonder if Josh and Anna have plans to have a huge family?

Update: Jon & Kate Gosselin Talk About Their Marriage Rumors!

Chris Brown & Rihanna Married!? She Wants Two Babies!?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 18:06:00 GMT

Chris Brown, who has now been charged with two felonies stemming from an argument with Rihanna, apparently begged his 21-year-old girlfriend to take him back, forgive him and, surprisingly, asked her to marry him!

After Chris allegedly beat Rihanna, both she and Chris laid low for a few days. However, the couple soon met at Diddy's million-dollar mantion for some fun and sun. Seemed slightly inappropriate under the circumstances (that photo of Chris on a jetski was disturbing) and why on earth would Rihanna want to take Chris back?

It gets worse.

The couple apparently had a tearful face-to-face and Chris begged Rihanna to take him back. She did. Then, he proposed. Did she say yes? That's unclear, but according to sources, the young singer has always wanted to get married and have babies before she turns 25.

An insider said, "All she's ever wanted was to be with him forever. Rihanna is looking for the husband-and-two-kids deal before she turns 25. She believes in fairy tales, and she wants to live hers with Chris. She was totally up front and confessed to him, 'I can't live without you.'"

The source said that a minister was called to the mansion - does this mean they actually tied the knot? I certainly hope not!

Chris has been charged with assault likely to cause bodily injury and making criminal threats and is currently out on $50,000 bail.

I hope Rihanna isn't pregnant, as rumors suggest. This is not a time to be bringing a child into the situaton - and probably a situation that Rihanna should run, far, far, away from!

Say It Ain't So: Rihanna and Chris Brown are Back Together

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 14:35:00 GMT

Three weeks after Chris Brown reportedly beat the crap out of the Rihanna, the couple is said to have reunited and are currently holed up in Sean "Diddy" Combs' house on Star Island near Miami. Next to finding out that Nick Mitchell got voted off American Idol, this is the worth news I've heard all week.

“They’re together again. They care for each other,” a source tells People magazine about Rihanna and Brown's reconciliation. “While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves.”

“He called to wish her happy birthday,” the source continued. “They’ve reached out to each other. It’s been mutual.”

According to US Magazine, Brown was seen smiling and flexing his muscles as he rode a jet ski around the island. (The part about "flexing his muscles"? Really makes me sick.)

Even more surprising is the fact that Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, supports his daughter's decision to take the batterer back. “I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I'm behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that's the road she wants to choose, I'm behind her. I hope to see her soon. I talked to her after her birthday, and she told me she's OK."

Um, seriously?

I get it, she's an adult and can do whatever she wants. But as a parent, I think to come out publicly and say that you support your daughter's decision to continue in a relationship with someone who is abusive is unfathomable. Doesn't Fenty fear for her safety?

Let's hope Rihanna's got a bodyguard or two hovering around in case Brown has one of his temper tantrums again. And if the rumor is true that Rihanna's pregnant, let's hope she's also considering the safety of her unborn child.

Shocking Secret: Rihanna Pregnant With Chris Brown's Baby?

Sassy Smith — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 17:03:00 GMT

According to reports, Chris Brown brutally beat (allegedly) girlfriend Rihanna and while details are sketchy - some reports say he was defending himself (doubt it), others claim they were fighting because Chris was cheating and Rihanna confronted him, and there are rumors that Rihanna was the one cheating (um, even if that's true, no one deserves to be beaten). However, there's a secret that Rihanna is apparently hiding...she's pregnant.

From Star:

We exclusively report that days before the terrifying incident, Rihanna consulted an ob-gyn at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after confiding to close friends that she suspected she was pregnant with Chris' baby.

Wearing sunglasses and dressed in all black, she appeared nervous and upset. "She was extremely fidgety. She seemed totally uncomfortable," an eyewitness at the doctor's office tells Star.

With their relationship already on rocky ground, Rihanna feared a pregnancy could be the last straw and Chris might dump her.

"She was scared he would react badly," says an insider.

But Rihanna did not get the chance to tell her boyfriend of a year about her trip to the doctor. Before she got a chance to say anything, Chris beat her black and blue after she tried to grab his cellphone to read a text message he had just received.

I hope she's not pregnant. She needs to get as far away from Chris Brown as possible! He absolutely needs (if he's guilty) to take anger management classes and suffer the consequences of what he's (allegedly) done.

Video: Duggar's 18th Baby On The View & Is Michelle Pregnant Again?

Sassy Smith — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 12:09:00 GMT

Those fun-loving 'let's have babies until we just can't have any more babies' Duggars sat down with the ladies of The View last week to talk - what else - babies. Michelle and Jim Bob also brought along their newest edition to the family - baby number 18, daughter Jordyn-Grace, 5 weeks.

Video after the jump!

You have to hand it to Joy Behar - she actually asked Michelle if she still has to push when she's giving birth. I sort of wondered that myself considering Mrs. Duggar has had only 2 C-sections and 16 vaginal births. Sure, babies don't just fall out per se but after that many pregnancies and births...well, you get the picture. And I think that concludes our discussion on Michelle Duggars nether regions.

The Duggars were asked if they were planning on more kids - Jim Bob said he leaves that up to Michelle, who said, yes, she's just crazy enough to have another. (Okay, she didn't say she was crazy but, oh my, I can't even imagine). Do you suppose she's pregnant? Nah, but I'm betting by the time that precious little Jordyn-Grace is walking, Michelle will have another in the oven.

Dad David Arquette had fun with Coco in the pool and looks like a good time was had by all.

Sheryl had her son Wyatt along and Laura's husband Ben Harper was there as well. No word on, if Dern's two kids were present (Ellery, 7, and Jaya, 4).

Josh & Anna Duggar: Premarital Sex

Sassy Smith — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 13:05:00 GMT

Oldest Duggar son, Josh, 20, married his sweetheart, Anna, 3 months ago and the young couple is telling other young people to save themselves for marriage.

The newlyweds wrote on their website:

"Many of you have contacted us asking when our wedding will be shown on TV. We have just been informed that it is scheduled to begin airing in mid-January on TLC (The Learning Channel) and is likely to air also on Discovery Health (and internationally on Discovery Home & Health). We will try to place more specific information here when we receive it. You can check TLC's website for additional show info & airtime schedules.

The show is part of a new reality series entitled "17 Kids & Counting!" featuring the Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Family. Our Wedding Show is entitiled "A Very Duggar Wedding" and will include preparing & planning, the Rehearsal, Wedding Ceremony & Reception.

It is our goal in sharing with you that your children will be encouraged to wait for God's best in their life partner, having purity before marriage and trusting God to direct in His perfect timing! We encourage you to embrace the lifeline of honesty & accountability between husband and wife that will bring total oneness & lasting fulfillment in your marriage.

God Bless You & Happy New Year 2009!

Josh & Anna Duggar"

I guess if, you as a parent, are having a tough time convincing your teens to wait to have sex until marriage, then maybe get them to watch this TLC special. I'm not sure how inspiring the Duggar family is, but maybe they will be to some?

Also, I wonder if Josh will follow in his parents' footsteps and have a ridiculously huge family?

The Duggars: God-Lovin' Family-Values Folk, Or Child Abusers?

HerBadMother — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 00:13:00 GMT

Are the Duggars - that happy-go-lucky, home-schoolin', Jeebus-praisin', birth-control rejectin' family of 17 that just became a family of 18 - really the models of good Christian family values (every child a blessing!), or are they, in fact, child-abusers?

Gawker raised the question last week, and I gotta say, having watched a few episodes over the holidays, it's kind of a good question. Obviously, nobody is suggesting that the Duggar mere and pere beat their children or whatever, but still - doesn't having so many kids that you couldn't, as a parent, possibly have a close relationship with any single one of them (18! How do they even remember their names?) count as a kind of benign neglect? You can't tell me that those children aren't effectually raising each other - there simply aren't enough hours in the day for the parents (especially seeing as they have multiple businesses and a TV show) to provide attention to each kid. Maybe it's not abusive or negligent, but there's a case to be made, as Gawker says, that it's at best disturbing and at worst terrifying.

Which, whatever. There are a great many children in the world that deal with much worse. But still - these people are cashing in on their apparent devotion to the principles fo family and the cherishing of children as God-given gifts. Gifts, shmifts - back in the day, when I was insisting to my parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles that there was no such thing as too many Barbies, a whole lot of those dolls ended up ignored, under my bed or stuffed in boxes. The first few were cherished, the first half-dozen, even, were doted upon - but once I had a crowd, they all kinda started looking the same and I couldn't remember their names and it just got a bit boring.

Children aren't Barbies, I know, but still - moderation has long been considered a virtue for a reason. Excess is excess. Just sayin'.

Photos: Duggars Are Sort Of Normal, Let Son Play With Toy Guns

Sassy Smith — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 12:04:00 GMT

Those wacky and 'we'll keep on breeding until we can't breed anymore' Duggars might not be the norm when it comes to how many children they want, but they sometimes do normal family things. For instance, their boys play with walkie-talkies and toy guns, like I'm sure do a lot of boys from other families. And their girls like to take silly photos while on family outings and then they get posted on Facebook - see, totally normal, like regular folk!

More pics after the jump!

I've never really watched a full episode of the Duggar's TV show on TLC, which is now called 18 Kids & Counting, but they apparently have a cousin Amy who takes pics of the family doing family things and then posts them on Facebook.

So without further hesitation, here are a few photos of the family doing 'stuff'. Click the source below to see the full album.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed daughter Jordyn-Grace Makiya last Thursday, December 18 and baby and mom are back home with the rest of the family.

Photos after the jump!

The Duggar family appeared on camera for Monday's Today Show (minus married son Josh, 20):

When asked how things were going, dad Jim Bob said that everyone was "sleeping very well," to which mom Michelle interjected, "It's Mommy's the one who's awake." See? Dad has it easier than Mom - and yet they both would go for baby number 19.

But she added, "She is doing wonderful, [and] I feel good.... We're enjoying our sweet little girl."

How did they choose the name Jordyn? The one requirement was that baby's name would begin with 'J' of course.

Jim Bob said, "I wanted Julie Grace," but others favored Jordan Makiya. So they compromised and Jordyn-Grace Makiya it is.

When asked by Ann Curry if there's such thing as too many children (seeing as the Duggar parents would go it again), Michelle replied with, "I would say, saying there's too many children is like saying there are too many flowers."

Seriously, are these people always this calm, and collected? I mean I have four kids, two of them grown, and yet I stilll manage to have chaos in my home. They're a family of 20 and everything is so organized!

Their TLC show 17 Kids & Counting will officially update on Monday night, becoming 18 Kids & Counting.

You can see video of the interview HERE.

Duggar Mom Pops Out # 18, Will Go For Baby # 19

Sassy Smith — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 14:01:00 GMT

TLC's Seventeen and Counting parents, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar welcomed their 18th child on Thursday, December 18 - my uterus is cowering as I write this, just so you know - and yet, they would love to keep going. Yes, they would absolutely go for baby number 19!

Proud papa Jim Bob said of their new daughter, Jordyn-Grace Makiya, "The ultimate Christmas gift from God. She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters."

Jim Bob adds, "We both would love to have more."

Please tell me Michelle was still high on pain meds when she agreed to baby # 19. I mean sure, it's easy for Jim Bob to say they'd love to have more - he gets to make a deposit and that's about it. Michelle is the one who has to carry that baby for 9 months, go through all of the physcial changes, the mood swings, the weight-gain, the heartburn, the ridiculous cravings, water retention, swollen hands, feet and ankles, and then the birth. Isn't her body tired yet? I'm tired just thinking about it.

I suppose whatever makes them happy, but honestly, when will they stop? I have to go make sure my womb is locked up - be back later.

Wow! Michelle Duggar Gives Birth To 18th Baby!

Sassy Smith — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 00:50:00 GMT

Arkansas parents Michelle & Jim Bob Duggar have welcomed their 18th baby! I guess they'll have to change the name of their TLC show to something other than Seventeen and Counting!

*Edited* with more information!

Baby Jordyn-Grace Makiya arrived by Caesarean section Thursday, December 18 and weighed in at 7 pounds 3 ounces and was 20 inches long. Jim Bob said Michelle started having contractions on Wednesday evening. The baby was transverse thus the need for a C-section.

Chris Finnegan from the TLC network said that Michelle was tired (well heck yes!) but was resting comfortably.

Jim Bob said, "The ultimate Christmas gift from God. She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters." He added that they'd both love to have more.

The proud dad said, "Our whole family is excited about Jordyn’s addition to our family. She’s just perfect in every way."

Monday's show will show the baby's delivery. And they will be updating the show's title to reflect the new addition.

Jordyn joins: Josh 20, twins Jana and John-David, 18, Jill 17, Jessa, 16, Jinger, 14, Joseph, 13, Josiah, 12, Joy-Anna, 11, twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 9, Jason, 8, James, 7, Justin, 6, Jackson, 4, Johannah, 3 and Jennifer, 1

Congrats to all of the Duggars!

The Duggar's 18th Baby

Sassy Smith — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 17:05:00 GMT

Arkansas family, The Duggars, have 17 children and are expecting their 18th, a girl - and one would wonder, with that many children, where would a couple find the time to make another kid? And how to do they keep things interesting in the romance department? I would think they'd both be very tired! I'm tired just thinking about that many children!

The Duggar Family: 17 and Counting, which airs on TLC, shows how such a big family lives day to day. The parents, Michelle and Jim Bob, certainly have their hands full with that many children and it's amazing they found time to get pregnant with baby # 18. So how does this couple keep the romance alive? Speaking with ParentDish, the couple gives a bit of insight as to how they keep things fresh and how they are raising so many kids.

Michelle said, "We try to be creative and different, and that can add a spark to the relationship. The spark stays because we purpose to keep that spark."

Jim Bob added, "We want to please the other one." Plus, they like to do things for each other in other small ways - Jim Bob leaves love notes for his wife in her makeup bag and she makes him a morning cup of coffee or cocoa.

Jim Bob said, "Her soft voice and sweet spirit melts my heart. And she looks really cute when she's pregnant."

And pregnant she's been! In their 24 years of marriage, Michelle's been preggo for approximately 135 months. Yikes! My uterus just shivered.

Michelle admits she does get more tired when she's pregnant. "Things get busy and exhausting when providing for a family. Having sex when I'm pregnant, I'm a little more tired."

How do they manage such a big family? Everyone seems to get along so well.

The couple and their children, live in a 7,000 square-foot home, the kids are home schooled, each have specific chores and they are all commited to an evangelical Christian lifestyle. They believe in "sharing," and not in the concept of "mine." Their teen kids pledge "TLW" - true love waits.

Michelle said, "The girls love the idea of courtship and saving themselves for the one that God made for them."

The Duggars also have a new book, which may help others, titled, "The Duggars: 20 and Counting!: Raising One Of America's Largest Families - How They Do It."

"We're not professional parents, " said Jim Bob. "With each child it's a whole new ballgame."

Said Michelle, "We're still learning. Because each one is so different."

Mom Michelle admits it's not always easy raising a big family (whew, they're human!). She added, "Right now I've got a lot of little boys who fight or argue with each other. Every 30 minutes there's a major crisis over an owee or a toy. But I don't get involved. They learn to work it out themselves."

Jim Bob and Michelle are parents to: Josh 20, twins Jana and John-David, 18, Jill 17, Jessa, 16, Jinger, 14, Joseph, 13, Josiah, 12, Joy-Anna, 11, twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 9, Jason, 8, James, 7, Justin, 6, Jackson, 4, Johannah, 3 and Jennifer, 1 and baby (girl) # 18, on the way, whose name hasn't been revealed but will start with....you guessed it, "J."

Chris Brown Dumps Pregnant Rihanna?!!?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 14:11:00 GMT

What's going on with Chris Brown and Rihanna? First, it was rumored that the two were dating, although they've never come out and admitted it. Then, it was believed that the couple moved in together - again, they never officially announced anything. And it's been reported that Rihanna is pregnant with Chris' baby - and now comes word that Brown may be stepping out on her with another chick!

According to 'word on the street', Chris is so over Rihanna and has been gettin' cozy with model/wannabe singer CC Fontana (never heard of her)!! A source close to Fontana said that Brown has been "wooing her for some time now."

And Blackarazzi.com reported:

"The news (that we broke!) that Chris Brown has a new beau are seeming more likely! Here is the R&B crooner with the rumored jumproff CC Fontana at her birthday bash which he HOSTED! Why would an R&B superstar host the birthday of a basic nobody! Things that make you go hmmmm......"

Ya, because if you're a somebody, and you're dating a somebody (who you may or may not have impregnated), you don't host a birthday party for a nobody unless you're doing the Tango (code for s.e.x.) with them, right?

So what's the scoop? So many questions; Are Chris and Rihanna dating? Do they live together? Is she really pregnant? And if yes to any of those, is Chris cheating on her with this girl CC Fontana??? Oh the suspense!

Mark Wahlberg, while doing the rounds to promote his flick Max Payne, also talked about raising kids in Hollywood and who would be a good role model for his five-year-old daughter Ella Rae. I'll give you a guess as to who he thinks wouldn't be someone to look up to...actually I'll give you two....

The 37-year-old actor said, "We won't stay there forever but it's very difficult to raise normal kids in an environment like that. And I was thinking there's no real role models for girls [in Hollywood]." I agree - he'd be hard-pressed to find one I'm sure. Wait - Miley Cyrus? I digress...

Mark added, "You've got Britney Spears, you've got Paris Hilton, they're nice enough people but I don't want my daughter to aspire to be like that." Can't say as I blame him.

Here's a concept for Mark - hopefully his kids will look up to him (and their mom) as their strongest, most influential role models. I'm genius!

Rihanna Pregnant With Chris Brown's Baby?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:11:00 GMT

Billboard Hot 100 artist Rihanna, 20, has been dating R&B singer Chris Brown, 19, for several months now - although they've never really made any big announcements concerning it. They have, however, been photographed being very cozy and do spend quite a bit of time with each other - and it's rumored that they live together (and she's sporting a huge ring on her finger). And now it's being reported that the two are perhaps ready to make an announcement....that Rihanna is pregnant!

According to MediaTakeOut, a celebrity weekly will announce tomorrow that Rihanna and Brown are going to have a baby. The article also states that the young couple will keep the baby.

A source told MediaTakeOut that Rihanna and Chris are heading to Barbados next week to visit with Rihanna's parents. Hmm, to tell them that she's pregnant?

We'll keep you posted!

Denis Leary: Autism Means Your Kid Is Stupid and Lazy

Sassy Smith — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:10:00 GMT

Comedian (I say that term loosely) Denis Leary has written a new book titled Why We Suck: A Feel-Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid. Sounds like a good read. I'm sure he's going to get some fan mail because of it, and by fan mail, I mean hate mail. Why? In his book, he says that children diagnosed with autism, are in fact not autistic - it actually means they're stupid and/or lazy. Oh boy.

This is what Leary wrote:

"There is a huge boom in autism right now because inattentive mothers and competitive dads want an explanation for why their dumb-ass kids can't compete academically, so they throw money into the happy laps of shrinks.... to get back diagnoses that help explain away the deficiencies of their junior morons. I don't give a [bleep] what these crackerjack whack jobs tell you - yer kid is NOT autistic. He's just stupid. Or lazy. Or both."

The Autism Society of America wrote in response:

"For Mr. Leary to suggest that families or doctors conspire to falsely diagnose autism is ridiculous... [His] remarks reflect the same misconceptions of autism being caused by bad or unemotional parenting that were held over 50 years ago."

You know, it takes a lot to offend me. I can take harsh humor, black comedy, and sarcasm with the best of them, but I'm sorry, is that snippet from his book, supposed to be funny? Is that the best he can come up with? That's witty?

As a mother of a special needs child (who, without going into a ten page explanation of his diagnosis, does display characteristics associated with the autism spectrum), I find Denis Leary's comments offensive. I'm not an inattentive, bad mother who shoved her kid at a shrink because I thought he was too stupid to join in with the other children, or whatever the hell it is Leary's trying to say. It's narrow-minded individuals such as Leary who make it hard for us parents of children with special challenges to get the help we need sometimes, and to make others realize, that what we live is real and not something we caused by being "inattentive," or "competitve."

I'm sure Mr. Leary's book will be a big seller, seeing as the 51-year-old is about as relevant as his washed-up comedy is.

Bite me Denis Leary.

The Duggars - you know them - the Arkansas family that has 17 children (and a reality TV show) and one on the way, are pleased to announce the engagement of their oldest son, Josh, 20. Josh and his fiance, Anna, were engaged in late June will marry this month! Why wait to start popping babies out?! They've got a lot to do!

The young couple will marry next week in Jacksonville, Florida - yes, after being engaged for only 3 months, they'll tie the knot (maybe she's preggo now?). The 'almost newly weds' wrote on their website, "Having both been raised in large families, we have agree to trust God in the area of children and the size of it."

Listen, personally I think it's nuts to want to just keep having baby after baby after baby, because you're leaving it in someone else's hands, but to each their own right? I'm tired just thinking about it.

Duggar parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, are due with their 18th child (crazy!) in the new year and are also debuting their new show called "17 Kids and Counting." It will premiere on the Discovery Health channel on October 1.
