Gypsy Rose Blanchard to Fans: PLEASE Help Me Get Out of Prison!

The strange saga of Gypsy Rose Blanchard has been back in the news lately.

In 2015, Blanchard was arrested for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.

Gypsy 6

Dee Dee suffered from Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, and during the first decade of Gypsy's life, her mother had subjected her to painful and unnecessary medical treatments.

Dee Dee convinced the world that Gypsy suffered from leukemia, asthma, muscular dystrophy and brain damage so severe that as an adult, she had the mental capacity of a 7-year-old.

Gypsy was not actually afflicted with any of these ailments, but at her mother's insistence, she was confined to a wheelchair, fed through a feeding tube. and forbidden to leave the house without Dee Dee.

When the abuse became too much for Gypsy to bear, she recruited her then-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, to murder Dee Dee.

These days, Godejohn is serving a life sentence, and Gypsy is locked up until at least 2024.

There's been renewed interest in Gypsy's case in recent months thanks to a number of film and television projects focusing on the case.

Most recently, the HBO documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest, and the scripted Hulu series The Act have made millions aware of Dee Dee's murder and Gypsy's abuse.

Gypsy 4

Last week, the world learned that Gypsy had gotten engaged through a prison pen pal program.

And now, the long-suffering 27-year-old is asking for the public's support in getting out of prison so that she can truly begin her life.

In a newly-released email sent to her father and addressed to her many supporters, Gypsy asked the public to contact Missouri governor Michael L. Parson on her behalf.

“Hello friends and supporters,” she begins.

“I appreciate the continued encouragement throughout my prison sentence. Many of y’all have signed the Free Gypsy Blanchard Petition created by my father, Rod Blanchard, Blanchard continues.

"Now, I must ask a favor.”

“I am respectfully asking all who wish me an early release to please aid my father in his efforts for my freedom, and write a letter expressing support for my early release to either the Missouri State Governor, Michael L. Parson, and/or the Division of the Missouri State Board of Probation and Parole,” she adds.

Gypsy 1

“I am scheduled for a parole hearing in December of 2021. However, any and all letters of support are helpful. Please remember to add my first and last name and DOC# in the letter. Thank you,”

If you wish to join the campaign to help free Gypsy Rose, you can reach out to probation.parole@doc.mo.gov using the subject line, “P&P Inquiry," or write to Governor Michael L. Parson at P.O. Box 720, Jefferson City, MO 65102.

Be sure to include Gypsy's full name, as well as her inmate number, #1302048.

No doubt this is a morally complex situation -- but there's certainly a case to be made that Gypsy has suffered enough.

Louis Tomlinson has opened up for the first time since losing his beloved sister, Félicité.

As previously reported, the 18-year old collapsed suddenly in mid-March and died of an apparent heart attack.

Louis Tomlinson, Sister

The former One Direction member did not speak up initially after his sibling passed away, with sources saying the singer was simply inconsolable over this shocking and sad development.

On Wednesday morning, however, about a month after this family tragedy, Tomlinson wrote a message on Twitter that reads as follows:

"Just wanted to thank everyone for their lovely words over the past couple of weeks. Back in the studio today to vocal something I wrote a few months ago. Sending you all loads of love x."

Félicité made her living as a model and social media influencer.

She died of a suspected heart attack at her apartment in London on March 13.

The Metropolitan Police Service told E! News that local authorities were called by London Ambulance Service to a residential address following reports of a female in cardiac arrest.

By the time paramedics arrived, however, it was too late -- Félicité was announced dead at the scene.

Her final Instagram post featured a photo with her brother and sisters Lottie, 20, and twins Daisy and Phoebe, 14. It was shared in December of 2018.

“Family,” she captioned the snapshot, along with a heart emoji.

By all accounts, Louis was very close to his late sister.

The loved ones would hang out any time the artist was in London.

Félicité's death also came just over two years after her and Louis' mom, Johannah Deakin, passed away after a lengthy battle with leukemia. 

In early March, just before losing his sister, the 27-year-old One Direction star released an emotional new track about his mother's death titled "Two of Us.

"You'll never know how much I miss you/The day that they took you, I wish it was me instead," Tomlinson sings on the track, adding:

"But you once told me don't give up/You can do it day by day/And diamonds they don't turn to dust or fade away."

Just so sad all around.

Félicité Tomlinson

“Johannah was first and foremost a truly amazing mother to seven children, whose individual talents and success are testament to the principles and beliefs she instilled in them,” her husband, Dan Deakin, told Us Weekly in a statement shortly after his wife died.

As for Félicité, her passing prompted an outpouring of love and support for the Tomlinson family from various celebrities around the world.

"Such incredibly sad news today," James Corden Tweeted last month. "You're not on your own in this @Louis_Tomlinson So many people are pulling for you and your family right now x."

"Prayers to Louis Tomlinson," Charlie Puth echoed. "I can't imagine how hard it is right now. Love to you brother I'm so sorry and my prayers are with you."

We continue to keep the singer and his relatives in our thoughts.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Midseason Trailer Teases PuppyGate Drama

After Kyle Richards turned against Lisa Vanderpump, many viewers wondered if the #ByeKyle meme also heralded the end of PuppyGate drama.

Alas, that is not the case.

The midseason trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills makes it clear that, unlike puppies at a kill shelter, this drama may never die.

Lisa vanderpump feels mistreated

The Season 9 midseason trailer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills shows that the fallout from PuppyGate continues.

The story is that Dorit's puppy ending up at a kill shelter was deliberately leaked to the press by Lisa.

But Denise Richards still has Lisa's back.

"Those women still love you," Denise affirms to her.

While that is probably true, Lisa herself isn't quite so SUR anymore.

"You don’t treat people you love like that," she points out.

Denise richards they still love you

Lisa has a bit of a point, especially after the trailer cuts to another scene.

Despite the lack of context, it is heavily implied to Kyle Richards is discussing Lisa.

Kyle openly predicts that Lisa is going to try to "make herself the victim" of the PuppyGate fallout.

"She’s gonna turn it all around," Kylie states. "As if everyone else is wrong."

She doesn't seem to be wrong about that.

Kyle richards and lisa vanderpump fight

Kyle was recently the subject of the #ByeKyle meme after she clashed with Lisa and Lisa's husband, Ken Todd.

Ken yelled those words -- among others -- during an argument.

To say that things were heated is an understatement, but fans took the conflict and ran with it.

Some tweets were funny, but others were downright nasty, using the meme to pile on with criticisms towards Kyle.

That's social media and Real Housewives for you, we suppose.

Camille grammer marries david meyer

But PuppyGate fallout wasn't the only tense moment during the trailer.

The midseason teaser shows a major high and a major low in Camille Grammer's life.

A highlight? She got married to David C. Meyer, as we reported last year.

Unfortunately, the wildfire that devastated Malibu and reduced entire neighborhoods to smoking ruins struck her home.

Even after seeing Camille inexcusably defend the likes of Brett Kavanaugh, that's sad to see.

Rhobh s9 midseason trailer camille grammer visits her ruined hus

But one of the best moments of this trailer was also all about Camille.

As she prepares to go up a climbing wall and is strapped in to a harness, she jokes about having worn a strap-on in the past.

Pegging can be a delightful sex act, though her "used to" line makes too many people think of her most famous ex.

Picturing Kelsey Grammer in the midst of any sex act is a curse that we would not wish upon our greatest enemy.

This is hardly the first time that Camille has dropped her filter and potentially embarrassed her ex.

For no reason at all, we just want to remind everyone that wall-climbing should not be done while under the influence of alcohol.

Kim Kardashian to Taylor Swift: Our Feud is Back On, You Snake!

So, you thought the bad blood between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift was over?

You believed this delicate situation had been put to bed and both sides had shaken off all hard feelings?

HA, in your wildest dreams perhaps.

swift v. kim

About five weeks after Swift and Kardashian both commented on the long-simmering feud, which had at least been placed on the back burnder by each party for a couple years, the latter appears to have stoked the flames once again...

... by issuing a clear challenge to her hated foe.

On Tuesday, Kim announced that a joint fragrance project between herself and sister Kylie Jenner would be released on April 26, writing simply:

"KKW FRAGRANCE X KYLIE launching 4/26 at NOON."

What's the significance here?

Swift has been teasing this same exact date for several weeks now, dropping images such as the one below on her Instagram page:

4.26

The strong assumption by all followers is that Swift will be releasing new music on that date ahead of her seventh studio album.

Now, Kim and Taylor aren't really professional rivals, of course.

One could easily spray some of Kim's new perfume on one's neck while downloading Swift's new track, meaning Kim isn't direct competition for Taylor in any legitimate regard... but come on.

No way is this just a coincidence, right? Kardashian is clearly trying to stir some $hit up.

And we aren't the only folks who think so.

“So shady of them to launch the same day as Taylor Swift,” one Instagram user wrote, while another added:

“LIKE ON THE SAME DAY AS TAYLOR SWIFT NEW SINGLE LIKE YOU ARE NOT OVER IT LIKE YOU SAY YOU ARE."

Morning from Kim

Back in 2016, of course, Swift acted angry and aghast after Kanye West rapped about her in the song "Famous."

But Kardashian then released a recording of a phone call between her husband and the artist in which Taylor learned ahead of time about the lyrics West would sing about her, basically giving him permission to do so.

Kimye used this recording to paint Swift as a liar, a manipulator and, famously, a snake.

It prompted Swift to eventually release a famous statement in which she asked to be "excluded" from Kim and Kanye's "narrative."

Just a few weeks ago, meanwhile, Swift addressed this feud after remaining silent about it for a very long time.

“In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously,” Swift told Elle in March, never naming Kardashian but making it clear about whom she was referring.

Added Swift:

“A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the Internet. The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life.”

Pretty candid, huh?

"It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it," Swift also said at this time.

Taylor Swift in Sydney

How did Kim feel about Taylor trashing her a bully last month?

"Taylor can talk all the s--t she wants because Kim is done with her and her petty games," a source close to the reality star told Radar Online in response, concluding:

"Taylor only brings Kim and Kanye's name up when no one is paying attention to her and it is just sad...

"She just really thinks that Taylor needs to grow the f-ck up and stop bringing her back into her narrative."

Respectfully, we disagree.

We think this feud should never die. Keep the claws out, ladies. They make for terrific content.

Farrah Abraham Accused of Being a Prostitute, Showing Off Botched Butt Injections

Another day, another reminder that Farrah Abraham is one of the most ridiculous human beings on the planet.

As you may have heard, Farrah appears to be broke these days.

That hasn't stopped her from taking lavish vacations or spending all her time on social media, but it has led to some wild rumors about how she's paying the bills (and affording all her cosmetic procedures).

Of course, this is Farrah we're talking about -- which means no theory should be counted out as too bonkers to be true.

Take a look at the latest:

1. Farrah Being Farrah

Farrah has been a trainwreck from the time she first entered the spotlight. But to be fair, she usually keeps it fresh.

2. A True Artist

There's really no predicting what sort of batsh-t behavior she'll engage in next. It's almost impressive. Almost.

3. On Her Grind

As usual, Farrah is doing all kinds of desperate things in her never-ending quest for money -- but even fans who have been observing her behavior for years couldn't have predicted that Farrah would get THIS hard-up.

4. The Master Is In

For one thing, Farrah is offering online lessons in business management as part of the formerly-reputable Master Class series.

5. Child Management -- Not the Best Idea

She landed the gig despite the fact that at least three of businesses ventures have failed in the past 18 months, including the children's boutique that was managed by Farrah's daughter, Sophia.

Hilariously, it looks as though several class "modules" were filmed at FroCo, Farrah's now-defunct frozen yogurt chain.

Beyonce Details "Extremely Difficult" Pregnancy, Dangerous Delivery

It's always a big deal when Beyonce talks about her family.

And it's an even bigger deal when Beyonce reveals photos of her family.

So you can imagine the excitement that swept the Internet and the nation at large after Netflix released Homecoming today, the documentary that took viewers behind the scenes of Beyonce's legendary Coachella performance in 2018.

Beyonce and Twins

While talking about the rehearsing and general lifestyle changes she needed to make in order to take the stage at that festival last spring, Beyonce also opened way up about her second pregnancy for the first time.

She spoke in stark and very personal detail about growing Sir and Rumi in her womb.

"My body went through more than I knew it could," the beloved artist said, noting she grew to 218 pounds toward the end of her pregnancy and that she developed high blood pressure and toxemia along the way.

(Toxemia, also known as preeclampsia, is a pregnancy condition that causes high blood pressure and can lead to serious complications.)

When it came time to deliver, one of the baby's heartbeat paused several times, Beyonce says in the film, spurring her to have an emergency C-section.

Beyonce Rehearses

Scary stuff.

And also very real stuff to which numerous women around the world can relate.

In another candid segment of her documentary, Beyonce says she was scheduled to perform at Coachella in 2017.

What happened? Why was she forced to skip this concert at the time?

"I got pregnant unexpectedly,” she says in Homecoming, as footage of her showing off her baby bump plays in the background. “And it ended up being twins which was even more of a surprise.”

We think this is the first time Beyonce has confessed that she wasn't planning on giving Blue Ivy any siblings -- but that, hey, even global superstars make these sorts of "mistakes."

Beyonce in Homecoming

Following the birth of her twins, Beyonce's Coachella performance marked her major return to the stage, but it did not come easily.

"There were days that I thought I'd never be the same," she explains, adding that she cut out carbs, sugar, alcohol, dairy, meat and fish in order to get back into shape.

"My body was not connected. My mind was not there," she goes on to say of preparing for last year's Coachella performance. "My mind wanted to be with my children."

In the documentary, the celebrity notes she would breastfeed in her trailer in between rehearsing and bring the kids when she could.

"What people don't see is the sacrifice."

Beyonce with Sir and Rumi Carter

Beyonce also acknowledges that it takes a "village" to make a production such as her Coachella set come off as well as it does.

She knows she's lucky. She knows she's rich and famous and as popular as nearly anyone on the planet.

But she also has the same concerns as other parents and set out to perform at Coachella for one key reason:

"I feel we made something that made my daughter proud, made my mother proud, my father proud, all of the people that are my brothers and sisters around the world and that's why I live.

"I'm so lucky and grateful that I'm able to take all these crazy ideas and actually make it into something that heals people and that may spark vision in people, that shows them to dream big, that shows them that they are limitless.

"It's possible. If my country ass can do it, they can do it."

Mom FLIPS OUT After Not Being Allowed to Pet Service Dogs [Video]

A ridiculous mom went ballistic in a mall after she was told that, no, her small child could not pet the service dogs.

The woman's bizarre meltdown was caught on video.

But she didn't stop with an angry lecture. She went crying -- literally -- to mall security.

A woman named ML Leigh, who is decidedly not pictured here, shared a video to Facebook and provided context.

"Had this crazy experience yesterday at the mall," Leigh's post begins.

She found herself in a situation "where some lady asked if she could pet the dogs."

"People ask us all the time," she laments. "So I just said, 'no.'” 

"All the dogs are working," she explains. "So it’s my go to answer."

As it should be.

Service dogs should never be distracted by other people because they have literal jobs to do -- sometimes, these jobs are life-saving.

"And they walked away," Leigh narrates. "No big deal right?"

Leigh reveals: "This lady went out of her way to come back with her child."

"And," she writes, this woman proceeded to "yell at us for saying 'no.'"

Apparently the woman chided her for her answer "and for not saying, 'nO iM sOrRy ThEy’Re TrAiNiNg.'"

We love that she adopted a Spongebob meme to convey her tone of mockery.

"And," Leigh writes, the woman insisted that "we should 'have a sign or something.'"

While that's an absurd request, Leigh makes it clear that she has already done so.

"You mean the 20 patches on my dog that say don’t pet?" Leigh asks rhetorically.

She then accuses: "Entitlement these days is real."

There we have to disagree with Leigh. This kind of weirdness has always been around.

It's just that now we all have cameras an an internet with which to share our different tales of it.

Ballistic mom over service dog petting 04

Leigh recorded the encounter, which also included another woman.

"They even got mall security," Leigh announces.

She marvels at the fact that they contacted security "because we said they couldn’t pet the working dogs."

"Security said that the lady was crying," Leigh reveals.

We have to wonder if that woman is always like this, or if she was just at the end of a crazy day.

Ballistic mom over service dog petting 05

Regardless of possible explanations, there is no excuse for her behavior.

"So much harassment," Leigh laments. "For just saying no."

"This video is public," she writes. "And is shareable."

The video ended up going viral.

"There was no common sense here," she concludes.

Ballistic mom over service dog petting 06

Despite a lot of whining about service animals, they serve a vital role.

Some provide comfort for people with sensory issues or PTSD.

(For example, a service dog can help someone distinguish between delusional experiences, unimportant background noises, and emergencies)

Others monitor people for seizures or for blood sugar levels and begin barking if they detect a serious medical problem.

They must never be distracted from doing their jobs.

But even if these weren't service dogs, if someone says "no," just go "okay" and keep moving like a normal person, you weirdo.

Khloe Kardashian Roasted By Fans: How Can You Name Your Baby True When Her Dad's a Liar?!

We probably don't need to tell you that Khloe Kardashian has not had an easy year.

Sure, Khloe welcomed her first child, and insiders say she's taken to motherhood like a fish to water.

Khloe Kardashian Holds 11-Month-Old True Thompson

But she's faced many challenges that most first-time moms are not forced to endure.

(As a millionaire who gets to make her own work hours, she also hasn't been forced to endure many of the challenges that most first-time moms do have to endure, but that's a conversation for another time.)

The trouble began when Tristan Thompson was first caught cheating on Khloe -- just days before she gave birth to his baby.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson on Halloween

And the trouble continued when Tristan was caught cheating on Khloe again, this time with Kylie Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods.

If you're somehow new to this nauseating saga, you may be just figuring out that Tristan is something of a human trash pile.

And apparently, you're not alone in only coming to that realization recently.

Though the joke has been staring them in the face for over a year, many of Khloe's followers are only beginning to recognize that Khloe's daughter True is somewhat ironically named, given her parentage and the circumstances of her birth.

Khloe Kardashian and True Thompson, Cleveland Botanical Gardens

"I just find it so ironic that her name is true and her daddy is full of lies,” one fan commented this week.

"He should be called Lie Thompson, wat do you think," another comedian quipped on a separate post.

While we're all for roasting Tristan at every opportunity, we can't help but wonder why this joke is suddenly so popular.

The timing is particularly strange, as the dust is finally beginning to settle.

Khloe and Tristan's Thanksgiving

Khloe has even partially forgiven Jordyn, remarking in an interview that the 21-year-old is "not to be blamed" for Tristan's infidelity.

The answer to why a new round of Tristan hate seems to be gathering momentum could have to do with reports that Thompson would miss True's first birthday.

That didn't prove to be the case, and Tristan was, in fact, in attendance -- but perhaps the damage has already been done.

Tristan Thompson Kisses Birthday Girl True Thompson

Those in attendance say there was no ugly confrontation between the exes, though several onlookers noted that Tristan was mostly ignored by Khloe and the rest of the Kardashians.

So he gets a few lame jokes lobbed his way on social media, and his ex and her family give him the cold shoulder?

We'd say Tristan got off remarkably easy in all of this.


Chip and Joanna Gaines Announce New TV Network and Streaming App!

Back in November, we reported that Chip and Joanna Gaines were returning to television.

Now, we know which TV network they're taking over and they've announced their very own streaming service.

But some fans are feeling a little put out -- and see this as nothing but a calculated business move designed to enrich the Gaines brand.

Joanna and Chip Gaines on TV

The Wrap reports that Allison Page of HGTV has been named the president of an exciting new project.

That project will be a "multiplatform joint venture between Discovery, Inc. and the Gaines’ Magnolia brand."

The Fixer Upper stars will be taking over what we currently know as the DIY Network, which falls under the Discovery umbrella.

Though we do not yet know the names of this new channel, TVE app, and SVOD service, we do know one thing.

The world has been told to expect to see "Magnolia" somewhere in there.

Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines Arrive

Discovery CEO David Zaslav released a statement on this new venture.

"Chip and Joanna Gaines have become trusted, household names since the debut of Fixer Upper," Zaslav notes.

"And through this joint venture," he continues. "Discovery is proud to extend our relationship with them."

"They’ve got authenticity and relatability," he observes.

Zaslav describes those traits as forming "that special something that is so difficult in our business to find."

Joanna Gaines and Chip Gaines at a Table

Zaslav goes on to explain why Discovery knows that investing in the Gaineses is the right move.

"People love them, their taste, their businesses," he points out.

"They’ve built an ecosystem that aligns perfectly with our vision at Discovery," he adds.

Zaslav points out that Discovery has a lot of motivation "for fueling people’s passions."

So it seems like the brands are a natural fit for each other.

Chip and Joanna Gaines Photograph

Chip and Joanna Gaines also released a joint statement about this exciting new development.

"Our intention with this network," the statement begins.

The Gaineses continue: "is to create and curate content that inspires, encourages, and helps to build bridges across our communities."

"We want honest, authentic programming," the statement affirms.

They want to create content "that brings families together."

Chip and Jo

"We believe David Zaslav and the team at Discovery are the perfect partners for this ambitious joint venture," The Gaineses express.

"And," their statement continues. "We know Allison Page is the right person to lead this charge."

She's certainly going to have her hands full, but she's proven herself already at HGTV.

"We’re ready to get started," Chip and Joanna's statement concludes. "And are expectant for all that’s ahead."

We're still waiting on the names that all of these things will have, however.

The Gaines

So when is all of this going down?

The launch is scheduled for the summer of 2020.

As exciting as this is for fans, others feel a little put off.

It seems clear that Chip and Joanna have made a number of business decision with the aim of raking in as much cash as possible.

Some of us would say that there's nothing wrong with that, but others feel that this is a betrayal of their wholesome family image.

Maybe those fans will get over their feelings of unease once all of the nice new Magnolia content rolls out.

Brandi Glanville Admits to Mixing Booze and Pills Following Release of Unflattering Photos

Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville doesn't make many headlines these days.

That's not surprising, given that Brandi was fired from RHOBH way back in 2015, and life after reality fame usually isn't very kind to those who have been chewed up and spit out by the Bravo machine.

Brandi Cleavage

But Brandi has never been one to relinquish the spotlight without a fight, and so, she's clung to relevance in the usual ways -- snarky comments about her former co-stars, a sporadically-produced podcast, etc.

Of course, none of that has helped Brandi retain household name status (if she ever reached such heights to begin with) and these days, it seems she's very much in danger of fading into obscurity.

The good news is, Brandi is once again garnering major attention on social media this week.

Brandi Glanville in Glasses

The bad news is, it's all because of some unflattering photos and her facepalm-inducing response.

The images below appeared on Twitter and Instagram earlier this week.

They appear to show Brandi during a night out, and as you can see, she looks somewhat worse for wear.

Glanville quickly took to Twitter to offer an explanation:

Brandi Unflattering Pics

"I’ve been VERY open about Suffering from depression and having recently switched antidepressants," the mother of two wrote.

"So please please stop these negative comments unless you really just want to send me over the f–king edge. I’m sad and ashamed isn’t that enough?"

She later added:

"Sorry for my tweet I just realized the only people I owe explanations to are my family.

Brandi Glanville Looking Comfy

"I’m not 25 my body isn’t perfect and I got wasted i’m sure it’s happened to plenty of you however you don’t have people taking your picture and putting on the internet."

Sad stuff, to be sure, but did Brandi really think she would lessen the negative attention by revealing that she's in the habit of binge drinking while experimenting with new psychiatric medications?

That's simply not a good look at any age, and not surprisingly, Brandi received even more blowback from her explanatory tweets.

And here's how she responded:

“I’m telling you I’m embarrassed,” Brandi tearfully admits, as she pleads for compassion.

She also admits to struggling as she watches her friends enjoy lives with their "perfect husbands."

(You may recall that Brandi's ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, left her for LeAnn Rimes following a very public cheating scandal.)

Brandi Glanville On Hollywood Today Live

It's hard not to feel sympathy for Brandi, but many Instagram users commented that they don't feel bad for her in the slightest, as Brandi has rarely shown compassion to others who are suffering.

It's a complex situation, but we say a good rule of thumb is to always ease up on those who appear to be suffering.

Here's hoping Brandi will eventually get whatever kind of help she needs.

Mercedes Javid has done it, folks.

The veteran Shahs of Sunset star has not just given birth to her very first child...

... she has done so at the age of 46!

Mercedes Javid Pic

The Bravo personality and her husband, Tommy Feight, welcomed a baby boy on Wednesday, MJ's rep confirmed exclusively to E! News.

The child's name? Shams Francis Feight.

The child's measurements? He weighed in today at six pounds and nine ounces and was born in Los Angeles.

The little boy was also born via C-Section, with MJ feeling "eternally grateful and blessed" following this development, according to her rep.

mj snapshot

The name is unusual, of course, but it has a meaning: Shams is in honor of MJ's father, who passed away; while Francis is in honor of Tommy's mom, who is also no longer with us.

“Mom and baby are doing great. The baby is happy and healthy," the rep adds.

This is so great to hear... because Javid has documented her difficult pregnancy on social media.

She has been very open about her struggles.

Two months ago, for example, the star revealed that she was hospitalized after her cervix “measured too short,” which is considered a “high risk” for a miscarriage.

As Shahs of Sunset fans know well, MJ chose to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) in hopes of expanding her family with Tommy.

Moreover, she went through numerous surgeries to remove uterine polyps in preparation for an embryo transfer. Simply put: She REALLY wanted this baby.

"The truth is that I have a lot of ups and downs, moment to moment, especially on the hormones from IVF stuff," she told Us Weekly last year, adding:

"You retain a lot of water. You feel really great one moment and then terrible another moment.

"That’s the reason why I share because, in my Instagram Stories for instance, I’ll say, ‘I don’t feel good today, but I want everyone else to know not to beat themselves up, to be kind to yourself and know that those days happen to everyone."

mj husband

Keeping followers apprised of her status, MJ also wrote the following after a recent hospital visit:

"Feeling overwhelmed with excitement, gratefulness, and hopeful about what lies ahead.

"My husband and I are very grateful and hopeful and appreciative of this journey and what is to come.

"We wouldn't have made it this far without my doctors. My favorite thing throughout this journey is going to the doctor to see the baby on the ultrasound."

Earlier this week, former Shahs of Sunset star Jessica Parido announced that she secretly gave birth to a baby boy, telling folks on Instagram:

“I contemplated never posting about it and carrying on but IM A MOM. I have a son, a beautiful little miracle who I’ll cherish the rest of my life and to not share this would be not sharing me.”

Hey now!

Congrats to Jessica and MJ!

The tragedy was confirmed late Wednesday evening by CBBC, which released the following statement:

We are so sorry to have to tell you that Mya-Lecia, who you will know from ‘Mille Inbetween’ and ‘Almost Never’, has very sadly died.

Mya-Lecia was a much loved part of the BBC Children’s family, and a hugely talented actress, singer and dancer.

We will miss her enormously and we are sure that you will want to join us in sending all our love to her family and friends.

It remains unclear at this time just what caused the death of this rising British star.

In a statement of her own to E! News, Alice Webb, Director at BBC Childrens said the following:

"We are distraught and so terribly sad to hear the news about Mya. She has shone so brightly on our screens, both in Millie Inbetween and Almost Never, and it's unthinkable that she won't be part of our journey going forward.

"She was hugely popular with our audience, a very talented actress, dancer and singer, and a real role model for her young fans."

All we can verify at the moment, courtesy of Naylor’s agents, A&J Management, is that the young actress collapsed prior to her passing.

Aside from her acting credits, Naylor was an aspiring model and singer.

She got her start as a toddler on the beloved British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous.

From there, Mya-Lecia booked roles in television movies and miniseries before landing her biggest role on the CBBC series Millie Inbetween.

Following four years on the show, she transitioned over to the CBBC comedy/drama Almost Never.

The official Instagram account for this latter series also mourned Naylor's death last night, sharing the photo below along with a heartfelt statement that reads:

Our thoughts are with Mya-Lecia’s family, friends and everyone that loved her at this very sad time. RIP Mya-Lecia.

Many other tributes have also been posted online.

For example, this is what I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here star Emily Atack, who previously worked with Naylor, wrote:

She was a beautiful and talented girl. A complete joy to be around on the set of Almost Never. Sending all my love to her family & friends. Rest in peace beautiful girl.

Writer Matt Leys, who worked on Millie Inbetween with Naylor, referred to the news as “absolutely heartbreaking” on Twitter and added:

“Goodbye our brilliant, funny, lovely Fran. You were a miracle. Watching the cast of Millie Inbetween grow with their characters, inform them, let us write it around them, has been an absolute joy. This is such awful, devastating news.”

As you can see here, he also tried to comfort fans who were stunned and saddened over the news:

In an April interview with TresA Magazine, the late actress noted that she had “some amazing projects” on the horizon.

Such an awful tragedy.

May Mya-Lecia Naylor rest in peace.

The Real Housewives of New York Recap: Tinsley Mortimer Cries Over 'Controlling' Boyfriend

Never play "Truth or Dare" if there are reality TV cameras in sight.

Wednesday's episode of The Real Housewives of New York was filled with drama, and it was all thanks to that game that millennials probably still play.

Tinsley Mortimer wound up in tears by the end, and it was all thanks to Bethenny Frankel daring her to call her boyfriend Scott and cause some drama.

Tinsley Mortimer Cries on RHONY

"I dare you to call Scott and tell him he's the love of your life and that if you're not engaged by the end of the year, you're dating other people," Bethenny said to a confused Tinsley.

Tinsley wanted to leave the game behind because she felt like the dynamic changed the moment Scott's name was brought up.

"My dare was to call your boyfriend," Bethenny said, getting frustrated by the way Tinsley was acting toward her.

Tinsley didn't know what the game was about. Either that, or she was happy to laugh at others, but not herself.

"I'm not doing that because he'd be mad at me for doing that. Stop, you guys. I'm not doing it!" Tinsley shouted as she got up to leave the room for a cigarette.

These ladies were really taking it out of her, so Luann de Lesseps followed.

"He would kill me. Do you understand? He'd kill me!" Tinsley complained to a shocked Luann.

"I know my boyfriend," Tinsley said in a confessional, adding:

"And I know that making this call to him -- all of a sudden there are gonna be giggles and laughter in the background, and he will be really upset. He does not like to be embarrassed, and I don't wanna do that to him."

Tinsley was asked when she returned to the table about her feelings, and she wanted to move on from it.

"We don't have to talk about it," Tinsley complained.

"But then why are we all friends if we don't talk about it?" Bethenny asked as though she was Andy Cohen fishing for answers at the reunion.

Barbara Kavovit

"I don't get it."

"She doesn't wanna be friends. Maybe that's what it is," Barbara Kavovit said, and that was enough for Dorinda Medley to step in.

"No, Barbara. Don't say that! Don't be an instigator!" Dorinda shouted.

"You're always instigating! She didn't say she didn't wanna be friends. You always have to go there," she continued.

"Stop being a busybody. Stop being an interloper. Stop doing it!"

Dorinda wanted Barbara to stay out of the argument, but Barbara was not about that.

"Make me!" Barbara shrieked.

While that argument was playing out, Bethenny took it upon herself to apologize to Tinsley.

"I don't want to call my boyfriend in front of everybody," Tinsley replied.

"Don't bring him in in that way. That's all. That's all I'm saying. I'm not calling him because I'm not putting him on blast with girlfriends."

"I get it!" Bethenny fired back. "But we have to know where the line is. You don't tell us anything!"

Tinsley was upset at Bethenny inserting herself into the drama, and said she had the same conversation with Scott every day, and that it was "torture."

"Tinsley, you can't just be happy when it's his terms. It doesn't work that way," Bethenny tried to explain.

Bethenny Frankel on RHONY

"It does in his life," Tinsley said to a shocked Bethenny. Tinsley was in tears, and Bethenny tried to help her out.

"You just don't seem that happy," Bethenny told her frenemy. "And it seems like your relationship is in a box."

"He's a very different person from everybody I've ever dated," Tinsley countered.

"But is he also controlling?" Bethenny wondered.

"Yeah, he has controlling ways about him. Yes," Tinsley replied. "It's a f--king juggling act, and every day is a new f--king headache, but I love this guy, okay? I don't know what else to say."

Whoa There, Bethenny Frankel!

"If you were my best girl friend, I'd say, 'We have to pull you out of this,'" Bethenny replied.

"I am not this bra-burning feminist, but Tinsley sets women back 100 years," she subsequently told the cameras in a confessional.

Yikes, right?

Jenelle Evans: Lying About Being "Crippled" After Getting Tubes Tied?

$

Earlier this week, Jenelle Evans got her tubes tied.

This is objectively a good thing for society.

Jenelle with a Surfboad

But as with everything she does, Jenelle had to go and find a way to be annoying about it.

As usual, Jenelle is posting to Instagram nonstop.

These days, however, she's mostly posting about how difficult her post-surgery recovery process has been.

Jenelle and a Pig

“I’m still crippled, y’all," Jenelle said in an Instagram Story in which she's being pushed around a home repair store in a wheelchair.

As she and David Eason continue to run errands, Jenelle continued to document her infirmity.

"I can’t lift more than 20 pounds for two weeks, so I’m just sitting here while they’re getting the groceries,” she explained.

“I feel helpless.”

Jenelle with David and Ensley

As several fans pointed out, Jenelle probably means "useless" rather than helpless, and very few grocery bags or items weigh more than 20 pounds.

So in all likelihood, Jenelle could be of service to those around her, she just chooses not to.

In other words, it's the typical state of affairs.

In a later video that's since been deleted, Jenelle can be seen strolling around her property without the assistance of her wheelchair and carrying daughter Ensley.

Jenelle Evans and Her Daughter

Like most 2-year-olds, Ensley weighs more than 20 pounds, so either Jenelle made a miraculous recovery -- or she was exaggerating her condition from the start.

We're gonna go out on a limb and assume it's the latter.

“I decided to get this procedure because I had a really bad problem of irregular bleeding, which lead to ultrasounds then lead to my OBGYN suggesting exploration surgery and tubes being tied,” she toldUs Weekly about her decision to undergo the procedure.

Jenelle in Leggings

“I knew I was happy with the number of kids I have now.”

Like we said, it's definitely a good thing that Jenelle won't be having any more kids, as she seems to really struggle with raising the ones she has now.

Hell, Evans doesn't even have custody of all her children, and at this point, that doesn't seem to bother her.

Jenelle Evans: Her Selfie

And as a bonus, Jenelle being hospitalized and us knowing for a fact that David wasn't involved is a nice change of pace.

Still, it's not hard to see why fans are irritated by Evans' apparent compulsion to exaggerate her ailments.

Obviously, she lies about everything all the time.

But Jenelle's frequent, inaccurate claims that she's suffering from serious medical conditions always seem to rub the most people the wrong way.

Geno Doak: Sexting Behind Mama June's Back, Sucking More Than Ever

Call us crazy, but just hear us out for a moment:

We're beginning to think that Geno Doak is not a very good person.

Geno Doak with Mama

Doak, of course, is the long-time, seemingly very shady boyfriend of Mama June Shannon, a reality star who rose to fame as the mother of a child beauty pageant contestant and who has remained famous because she's lost a lot of weight.

That sums her up.

You now know pretty much all you need to know about June Shannon.

The couple made negative headlines back in mid-March after Shannon was arrested for cocaine possession and Doak was arrested for domestic violence after the pair got into a heated altercation while parked at a gas station in Alabama.

According to various outlets, Doak threatned to straight up murder June during this ugly exchange.

Of course, the reality stars were then spotted at a casino within 24 hours of their arrest and their fight, so it doesn't appear as if there's much bad blood between them.

But perhaps that will change on the heels of a bombshell new report.

Insiders close to Shannon and Doak tell the Blast that the latter often sends racy text messages to other women.

He's allegedly been doing this for a majority of his three-year relationship with June -- and he did so again as recently as last month.

How does the aforementioned gossip website know this for certain?

The Blast says it has obtained Instagram messages sent earlier this year by Geno, including one instance where he sent a photo of his penis to a woman.

We're so very sorry for putting that image in your head.

with june

Doak reportedly also went into detail about what he wants to do to a certain woman sexually--  and, on another occasion, told a woman he was chatting with that Shannon was even sitting right there with him while he basically cheated on her.

Again: we really think Doak may not be a great dude.

Or at least not a great boyfriend.

June's loved ones are apparently aware of Geno's sexting and have been urging Shannon to pull the plug on this unhealthy romance.

Thus far, however, such pleas have fallen on deaf ears.

June Kises Geno

The Blast even cites a woman named Tina Harry who confirms that Doak somehow found her on social media and started direct messaging her.

She continued the dialogue because she thought it was cool to speak with someone on television.

But the exchanges soon got out of hand, with Doak hitting her up every 10 minutes and offering to pay for her to make a trip to Alabama.

According to Harry, Geno sent her photos of his private parts and even FaceTimed her after she turned down this request to make a visit... with June asleep in the bed of the hotel room where they were staying.

Doak supposedly told Tina he wished she was there with him instead of Shannon.

Blech, right?!?

Geno Doak with June

As previously detailed, Doak has had MANY run-ins with the law.

He was arrested in 1996 and charged with felony burglary, later pleading guilty to the burglary charge and being sentenced to three years in prison.

He was taken into custody in 2009 after allegedly stealing a $500 cargo trailer belonging to The Griffin First United Methodist Church in Griffin, Georgia.

Just a month later, while out on bail, he allegedly took 35 Valium pills in a suicide attempt.

Geno Doak Mugshot

In 2010, Doak pleaded guilty to felony theft by and was sentenced to 10 years of probation, 80 hours of community service and fined $2,500

He spent six months in county jail shortly afterward after he violated his probation.

In 2013, Doak's probation was revoked once again after he was charged and pleaded guilty to felony criminal damage to property in the second degree and given a four-year jail sentence.

Based on Georgia Department of Corrections records, Doak served about 15 months at the Coastal State Prison in Savannah, Georgia and was paroled in January of 2015.

All in all, we think Shannon could find a better role model for her kids and a more loving boyfriend overall.

As we sadly know, however, this is someone with truly awful taste in men. She probably has no idea what it means for a man to be good for her.


Joe Giudice Deportation Appeal: Denied!

It is officially time to say ciao to Joe Giudice.

The disgraced former Real Housewives of New Jersey star was informed this month that his deportation appeal was denied, paving the way for Giudice to be sent back to his native Italy.

Teresa Giudice and Hubby

It has taken several days for the news to leak online, but this is what source close to the situation just told E! News:

"The Board of Immigration Appeals ruled against Joe in an April 6 decision."

This same insider explains that Joe had to learn about the board's decision by mail because the process is "done entirely by mail."

Giudice, of course, pleaded guilty to his role in a bankruptcy scheme back in 2016. He was then sentenced to serve 44 months in jail, but was able to postpone this stint under after his guilty wife completed her time behind bars.

Then, last fall, a judge determined that Giudice would be deported because he broke federal law as a non-U.S. citizen.

Teresa Touches Joe

The father of four's legal team filed an appeal, which is what a court just shot down.

However, on Wednesday, this same legal team filed a petition for the federal court to review of the appeals decisions.

This really is the final chance for Joe to avoid deportation -- and it appears to be a long shot.

"We are extremely disappointed that the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mr. Giudice's appeal," the family's attorney James J. Leonard Jr. says.

"We have filed a stay with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and will continue to fight to keep Mr. Giudice in the United States, the only country he knows, and reunite him with his wife and four daughters."

Teresa Giudice Hold Hands

It's true that Joe has four daughters and we legitimately feel terrible for them that their dad is about to be forced out of the country.

On the other hand, perhaps they will be better off with just one criminal raising them at home, as opposed to two.

As for Teresa? She will follow her dear husband wherever she goes and is committed to the man she loves and the life they have built together.

Just kidding. She's already said the marriage is over once Joe is outta here.

Gia and Joe Giudice

Appearing opposite Andy Cohen last month when the topic was broached, Teresa sounded very casual and cool with the impending divorce,

"It's like starting a whole new life," she said of moving to Italy with Joe, adding:

"And [her daughters have] been through so much already. So, I mean, I'm not doing a long-distance relationship. I'm just not doing it. I want somebody with me every day.

"I know exactly what happens, I'm sure he'll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing? It's not going to work. I'll be like, 'bye bye.'"

Heck, there's been chatter that Teresa is already dating someone new and planning her very own Bravo spinoff.

Shocking, right?

By which we mean... not shocking at all.

What happens in Miami stays in Miami. 

At least that's what Teresa Giudice is telling herself when it comes to her recent cheating scandal

Teresa Giudice Pose

Radar Online broke the news of Teresa's Miami hookup with Blake Schreck back in February, exposing shocking photos of the couple holding hands and him sneaking out of her rented condo. 

All while husband Joe Giudice sat in prison. 

The photos were released after the RHONJ reunion taped and according to a close insider, while cameras are starting to roll on the new season the cheating scandal has yet to be brought up. 

T. Giudice

The reality star is keeping her lips tight when it comes to her infidelity reports with her much younger boy toy.

"It is like it never happened," an insider told Radar about Teresa's strict instruction that her castmates not talk about Blake, who is 20 years her junior. 

And to all of our surprise, no one on the show has made a big scene about Teresa cheating on her poor, detained husband. 

Teresa Touches Joe

Joe, 46, is currently in a Pennsylvania ICE detention center awaiting his deportation back to his native Italy, and he is now one step closer, as his appeal against the ruling was denied earlier this month. 

"We are extremely disappointed that the Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mr. Giudice's appeal," family attorney James J. Leonard told People

"We have filed a stay with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and will continue to fight to keep Mr. Giudice in the United States, the only country he knows, and reunite him with his wife and four daughters." 

Teresa Giudice, Children

With Joe's future up in the air and Teresa's cheating scandal being brushed under the rug -- we have no idea what's to come for this couple.

However, we do know it's not going to be pretty.

"No one has ever seen anything like it," the source admitted to Radar about how silent Teresa is staying regarding her affair. 

Teresa Giudice Instagram Pose

"After the reunion, the story was just dead." 

Teresa's secret fling with Blake happened while Joe was still behind bars in a federal prison serving his 42-month sentence for tax fraud. 

His brother Pete Giudice told Radar that he wasn't supporting Teresa in the cheating scandal. 

Teresa Giudice on Season 8

"That's his thing. Let him figure it out," Peter said about the photos of his brother's wife of 20 years with Blake, a local to New Jersey that lives just nine miles away from her home. 

The show insider said that this silence and secrecy comes as a total shock to fans as it is a complete contrast to other scandals that have been covered on RHONJ over the years. 

But Teresa can't run away from her problems forever -- at least not until her husband is far away in Italy. 

Florida Man Goes Shirtless, Gets Arrested for Sloppy Pasta Eating

A Florida man has been arrested for giving Olive Garden patrons far more than they paid for this past Sunday in Naples.

The diners simply wanted to chow down on some never-ending breadsticks, not be subjugated the never-ending annoyance of some inebriated fool.

Allow us to explain...

Ben Padgett

According to a police report from the Naples Police Department, officers were dispatched to one of these restaurants around 3:30 p.m. on April 14 due to an alleged disturbance in the vicinity.

The 911 caller claimed that there was a man outside the establishment, asking customers for money and screaming out a series of expletives.

When the authorites arrived, they came across a shirtless man sitting outside on a bench, shoveling spaghetti into his mouth with his bare hands.

It's unclear at this time whether it was covered in marinara sauce or some other topping.

Identified as Ben Padgett, this individual smelled like alcohol and was acting in an inappropriate manner, the official report states.

A restaurant employee named Ronald Worst also told police that Padgett threatened him and asked him “whether he had male or female sex organs.”

o. garden

Worst went on to say that Padgett was coming in and out of the restaurant, badgering those around him.

"I could beat your ass," he supposedly yelled at Worst for some reason.

Once they arrived on the scene, police officers asked Padgett what he was doing outside on the bench.

According to the arrest report, he would not stop “muttering obscenities” and was eventually placed under arrest for disorderly intoxication.

Prior to being placed in handcuffs, Padgett was given paper towels by the cops, so that he could clean the pasta off of his face.

Despite this kind gesture, Padgett wasn't done acting like a total and complete maniac.

While in the back of the patrol cruiser, the suspect started to twist his body violently, kicking his legs and smashing his head against the metal cage partition, causing his forehead to bleed.

As a result, the drunk 32-year-old was treated at a nearby hospital before being transferred to the Naples Jail Center.

Padgett was also charged with resisting an officer without violence and released on $2,000 bond.

While story does sound kooky, we guess Padgett should just be grateful that he didn't cut off his own penis.

In actuality, this tale sort of pales in comparison to the following Florida Man arrests:

Hailey Baldwin Praises Justin Bieber: I'm So Proud!

Last week, Justin Bieber penned a super romantic poem to his beautiful wife, Hailey Baldwin.

Now, it's Hailey's turn to openly gush about her love.

Hailey's praise coincides with a new photo of the Biebs after he finally, for the first time in their marriage, got a decent haircut.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin: Little Slice of Heaven

"My love," Hailey's romantic Instagram post begins.

She writes what we're sure is meant to be a string of three heart eyes emojis, but is a disappointed face followed by two heart eyes emojis.

"You are an incredible man," she praises.

Hailay adds: "You make me a better human being,"

"You make me happier than I’ve ever been," she raves.

Justin Bieber Got a Haircut

Here is the accompanying photo.

We're not (okay, I'm not) normally the biggest advocate of short haircuts on men, as they're hugely overdone, but this is an exception.

Definitely an improvement over some of the Biebs' other looks during the past year. He no longer resembles a Swamp Person.

"Insanely proud of who you are," Hailey proclaims.

"And," she adds, she's a tremendous fan of "who you’re becoming."

Hailey concludes: "I love you more every single day."

Hailey Baldwin Poses for Maxim

Last week, Justin penneda  moving, heartfelt poem to honor his stunning wife.

After that poem, he switched to prose to heap praises upon her.

"Things all around us Just get better with time," Justin wrote.

Notably, they've only been married for, what, half a year?

They're arguably very much in the honeymoon phase of their marriage, which is very sweet.

Justin gushed: "I fall more in love with you every day!"

Justin Bieber in Vogue

"You have walked hand and hand with me," Justin noted.

She's put up with a lot of his shenanigans over the years.

Justin wrote that Hailey has been by his side "as I continue to get my emotions, mind, body, and soul [intact]!"

That takes a remarkable amount of patience and loyalty.

"You have given me so much strength, support , encouragement, and joy," Justin raved.

Hailey Baldwin Slays in Silver

"I just wanted to publicly honor you," Justin expressed.

In the wise, wise words of Kim Kardashian: it's what she deserves.

"And," he continued, he wanted to be sure to "remind you that the best is yet to come!"

That is very sweet. For both of their sakes, we hope that this is true.

Justin concluded his precious message: "Have a great shoot today my love!"

Justin and Hailey's romance is complicated.

The two rekindled their love last summer ... just a short time after Justin had split with his other most famous ex, Selena Gomez.

Within a matter of weeks, Justin proposed to Hailey in public, in front of a crowd of excited fans. She said "yes."

There were a lot of folks (okay, me) who didn't think that they would make it to the altar. They had dated before. They had baggage.

But these two hotties have managed to power on past every obstacle in their path and tie the knot.

Clearly, they're head over heels for each other. We wish them both a (continued) world of happiness.

Jana & John David Duggar: Did They Make a Pact to Marry For Love?

When John David Duggar married Abbie Burnett back in November of 2018, the ceremony and reception differed from the usual Duggar nuptial events in a number of important ways.

The most obvious departure, of course, was the age of the participants.

Abbie and John David

John David is 29; Abbie is 27.

That's certainly not an unusually old age at which to get married -- unless you're a Duggar.

You see, the Duggars are taught from a young age that their primary objective in life is to marry young and make a whole lot of babies.

John David & Abbie Wedding Day Pic

The family belongs to the Quiverfull movement, subsect of evangelicals who believe that it's every Christians duty to birth as many believers as possible in order to shape governmental policy, create communities, and essentially overwhelm the Earth.

By waiting until his (very) late twenties in order to tie the knot, John David cost himself a solid decade's worth of procreation years.

(It's not uncommon for Duggars to start families while still in their teens.)

John David and Abbie Front-Hug

Of course, John David is not alone in his decision to take much, much longer than his siblings in his search for love.

John's twin, Jana Duggar, is still single, and looks like she'll remain that way as she centers her thirties.

Jana and John David have broken with custom in a big way in their decision not to enter the "courtship" process in their teens or early twenties.

And some fans think it's no coincidence that the famously close twins both made the choice to wait.

Jana and John David

It's widely believed that some Duggar kids marry the first person to come along simply because they know that's what's expected of them.

Many of the fans who subscribe to that theory also believe that John David and Jana made a pact at a young age -- no matter what happened, they would only marry if they actually fell in love.

That brings us back to John David and Abbie Burnett's wedding.

Runway Bride

Many noted that it was a much livelier affair than the typical Duggar ceremony, complete with airplane theme to celebrate John David's love of aviation.

John David and Abbie celebrated five months together last week, and they marked the occasion by paying loving tribute to one another on social media.

They continue to commemorate their romance by posting loving selfies on their shared Instagram page on an almost-daily basis.

What we're saying is, John David and Abbie appear to be very much in love.

John David With Abbie on Instagram

We're not saying, necessarily, that the other married Duggar kids are not in love with their partners, but we are saying it's quite clear that JD and Abbie are not stuck in some awkward arrangement.

It's been widely speculated that Jana is resentful of her brother's marriage because she's now alone as the oldest unmarried Duggar.

But we can imagine a scenario in which she looks at her brother's happiness as a sign of hope and an indication that she made the right call by refusing to settle.
