Jana Duggar: ACTUALLY Dating Jeremy Vuolo"s Brother?!
If you’re a Duggar fan, we certainly don’t need to tell you that Jana Duggar is single.
And if you follow the family closely on social media, then we may not need to tell you about the growing legend of Chuck Vuolo, Jeremy’s hipster brother.
In case you’re unaware, every time Jinger and Jeremy visit his family in Texas, fans absolutely lose their minds over older brother Chuck.
This week, Jeremy posted the above photo in honor of Chuck’s birthday:
“Happy Birthday, big brother! I admire you in so many ways and am grateful to God for you,” Jeremy captioned the pic.
“You’ve already been an amazing uncle to my daughter; I look forward to sharing “’stories of Uncle Chuck’ with her when she’s a bit older. I love you more than I can say. Enjoy the day, bro.”
So we guess Chuck is a bit of a wild card?
Of course, with how squeaky clean Jeremy and his family seem to be “stories of Uncle Chuck” probably include such rebellious behavior as the time he put his lunch money in the collection plate.
Anyway, you may be asking yourself, what does this loose cannon Uncle Chuck have to do with Jana?
Well, you see, Duggar fans are oddly obsessed with the idea of Chuck entering a romantic relationship with Jana Duggar.
It all began when Jeremy posted some pics from a mini family reunion last month.
“Set him up with Jana?” one fan asked.
“I was thinking the same thing too,” echoed another.
“I hope so she’s so sweet!” wrote a third commenter, adding:
“How cute would they be?!”
Jana courtship rumors surface at the rate of about one per month, and it seems like October will be entirely devoted to Chuck.
Some fans are now convinced that Jana and Chuck are actually courting — and as far as we can tell this is based on nothing other than the fact that they have yet to publicly state that they’re not.
Maybe those fans are onto something.
After all, with this many members of the Duggar family involved, it seems like someone would clear the air and issue some sort of statement.
Of course, it’s much more possible that Jana is still single and everyone involved is just enjoying a little free publicity.

Molly Roloff Actually Visits Family Farm, Makes Amy One Happy Mama
Molly Roloff may not be a cast member on Little People, Big World.
But that doesn’t mean she isn’t a very welcome member of her own family.
Unlike her brother, Jacob, who quit the aforementioned TLC series last summer in a major huff, Molly has never made any grand statements about the show being fake or phony or silly in any way.
Nope.
She’s simply chosen to live a more private life, one that has taken her away from her family farm and one that includes a very normal and content existence with husband Joel.
Like we said before, however, Molly is on great terms with her parents despite having removed herself from their everyday lives and their most profitable source of income.
And that relationship was on full display this past weekend.
In honor of the beginning of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms, Molly and Joel drove on down and supported their loved ones.
They posed for a photo with the entire family, and they also posed for a photo with just Amy, as you can see above.
“I was so so excited that Molly and Joel were able to drive down for opening weekend of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms Pumpkin Patch,” Amy wrote as a caption to the two images above.
She added:
“It was wonderful to see them. This mom was happy.”
And below is the snapshot that has been making the Internet rounds, with nearly every single Roloff in the same place for a fun change:
As far as Molly goes, she recently hung with her dad as well and does try to come back to the farm when she can.
But she headed off college at Whitworth University and then met her now-husband shortly thereafter, Joel Silvius.
Together, the couple chose to stay in the area and they’re now permanently based in Spokane, Washington, which is about a six-hour drive from where Matt and Amy reside.
(Yes, Matt and Amy are divorced, but they still live on the same large piece of property. It’s a whole thing.)
It’s not a short haul for Joel and Molly to visit the farm, but pumpkin season is THE huge event for this family.
At least professionally speaking.
“The first weekend of pumpkin season has officially come and the whole family came out!” the Roloffs shared on the farm’s official Instagram page.
“Thank you to everyone who has come out despite the rainy Oregon weather!”

Shauna Sexton Actually Visits Ben Affleck in Rehab
All across the Internet these days, there are cries of concern over Ben Affleck.
That’s what happens when you sadly enter rehab for a third time.
But if you listen closely enough, there’s another sound starting to make its way around the Web.
Or at least the possibility of a sound.
By which we mean the following:
Might wedding bells be ringing down the line for Shauna Sexton and Ben Affleck?!?
This is not anything we could have imagined writing back when the actor started dating the Playmate this summer. It seemed at the time like the epitome of a fling.
Mere weeks after talk of the romance spread throughout the globe, Affleck entered rehab because it had become clear that he fell hard off the wagon while partying with Sexton.
But… well… Sexton is still around.
She and Affleck may be about more than bumping proverbial uglies after all.
Last week, we reported that Affleck actually left his treatment center for a brief period of time in order to hang out with Sexton.
And now comes the news that Sexton paid Affleck a visit in rehab on Sunday morning.
The 22-year-old was spotted leaving the Malibu treatment facility at which Affleck has been staying at for the last three weeks, according to People Magazine and other outlets.
She was even driving Affleck’s Ford SVU at the time.
This seems like a big deal for two reasons:
FIRST, because a man does not just lend a woman his wheels unless things are very serious.
SECOND, because this means Affleck is letting Sexton see him at his most vulnerable… and that she wants to see him at his most vulnerable.
The previous assumption had been that she was just sticking around for the booze and the wealth and the Hollywood lifestyle. But here she remains. Still around.
Sexton recently clapped back at a fan on Instagram who accused her of getting Affleck “thrown in rehab.”
She made it clear that she isn’t about to take misguided flak from a bunch of strangers.
“Never drank around or with him for the record,” Sexton wrote in a number of responses in the comments section of a photo of her drinking red wine, adding:
I love to drink and party! Absolutely dude. Most 22 year olds do…
“Do these mistakes mean I would disrespect someone’s hard-earned sobriety by drinking with them or in front of them? Hell no. I have limitless respect for those who take action and actually do something about it.
“With that being said, Ben is a grown ass man, baby. He makes his own decisions. Blaming a 22-year-old for someone’s 3rd time in rehab is just ridiculous.
“He is human. I am human.”
Amen. Well said, Shauna.

Demi Lovato"s Drug Dealer Actually Speaks on Near-Fatal Overdose
The man who allegedly sold Demi Lovato the drugs that nearly ended her life has actually stopped on the sidewalk and given an interview.
And he’s talked rather openly about the entire situation as well.
Over the past week or so, reports have identified Brandon Johnson as the dealer with whom Lovato had supposedly worked since April.
The two had developement a pretty close relationship that some outlets even claimed cross over from professional… to plutonic… to sexual.
Jacobs had just recently gotten arrested prior to meeting Demi — and has been under fire (even more fire than comes the way of most drug dealers, that is) because there’s a rumor floating around that Lovato took tainted drugs.
This is to say, Demi may have been unaware that the substance she was given had been laced with fentanyl.
Was this the case, TMZ asked Johnson when the website grabbed a few moments with him over the weekend?
The artist “100% she knew what she was taking,” Johnson tells TMZ, adding:
“I disclosed to her that these were not pharmaceutical. There were after market drugs, they were much stronger. She understood fully.”
Johnson would very obviously be an example of the kind of toxic acquiantance that Demi let into her life since she fell off the wagon this past spring.
He says the two had a “flirty friendship” that did, at times, becomes a “sexual” relationship and that they occasionally “messed around.”
Why did she text him at 4 a.m. the night of July 23, after going out with some friends to celebrate a birthday and then going back to her home with a select few of them?
“Cause she’s a girl and she wanted to kick it,” he said.
What did he and Lovato during at this late hour?
“We hung out. We watched our detective shows as usual… she sometimes has such long days, stressful hours and a stressful job” and she needs to relax.
Johnson admitted that he and Demi also took drugs together, but he didn’t get into any specifics and he claimed to not even have known what the drugs were mixed with.
Moreover, Lovato was a “little drunk” when he showed up, this shady individual confirms, but he tucked her in and left around 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. after she appears to be safely in bed, asleep.
“I’m not here to hurt anybody. I care for her very much,” the drug dealer told TMZ, concluding:
“I care for her a lot. I hope she comes through this better than she was before she got into it.”
Last we heard, Lovato was doing pretty well in rehab.
She is at an undisclosed location and she will remain there for an extensive period of time; the rest of the year, at minimum, according to various insiders.
When she gets out, she’d be wise to continue therapy in some fashion; to rely on her family members and long-term friends; and to never contact anyone such as Johnson ever again.
Hang in there, Demi. We’re thinking of you.

The Hills Reboot: Will Anyone Actually Watch This Thing?
MTV’s reboot of The Hills sure made a lot of headlines at last week’s VMAs, but whether the buzz ends there remains to be seen.
In other words, will it lead to any actual viewers?
Here, The Hollywood Gossip staff debates whether or not this latest, shameless effort to reboot and recaputre nostalgia will be a hit.
IN ONE WORD, YES by Hilton Hater
Yes, The Hills revival will be a hit.
And I need just two words to explain why: Heidi and Spencer. Better yet, I need just one nickname to explain why: Speidi.
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag entered the celebrity mainstream over a decade ago, initially appearing on The Hills as your basic wanna be A-Listers who would do anything for attention.
But that’s the thing: They would do ANYthing for attention, whether that meant trying to make it as a singer (Heidi) or stirring up every type of scandal or controversy imaginable (Spencer).
These two were Donald Trump before he became President Donald Trump: they had no shame.
They sky-rocketed to stardom just as social media was taking off, squeezing every millisecond out of their 15 Minutes of Fame and milking every comment on that platform for Likes or Dislikes.
They didn’t care and they still don’t care. Speidi was simply after attention.
That was back in 2007, however. There are millions of current MTV viewers who were too young at the time to watch or appreciate the couple’s antics.
So now that Twitter, Instagram and Facebook dominate absolutely everything at all times, we can’t fathom the heights that a rebooted Spencer and Heidi will be able to reach.
We can’t comprehend how popular (or, at least, how DISCUSSED) the duo will become in this second incarnation.
Oh, and here’s the final thing: They’re still together! They have a son! The couple that came across all those years ago as faker than Heidi’s boobs have somehow managed to find real, lasting love.
It’s sort of amazing. And it makes The Hills definitely worth watching.
NO, IT’S A BRIDGE TOO FAR by Tyler Johnson
Reboots are all the rage these days, and no one at MTV has had a fresh idea since the Clinton administration, so it should come as no surprise that the network is repackaging all its old hits.
But with The Hills, they may have gone too far.
After all, a second iteration of Jersey Shore makes sense – the original series was a cultural touchstone that made household names of its most colorful stars.
But The Hills?!
The closest thing that show ever had to a colorful star was Spencer Pratt, and that’s only because dude likes to wear tie-dye while fondling his collection of crystals.
If you’re lost in a fog of nostalgia, it might be easy to lose sight of the fact that The Hills overstayed its welcome well before it wrapped up its initial run.
The show’s best-loved star, Lauren Conrad, famously saw the writing on the wall and quit before the final season and split.
Not surprisingly, she won’t be back for the reboot.
Hell, one could argue that the concept behind The Hills was played out before the show even premiered. It was a spinoff of Laguna Beach, which was itself a lazy attempt to capitalize on the popularity of The O.C.
Despite all that the show became a hit, but that was likely due in part to the fact its target demo had far fewer entertainment options in those days.
So for the moment, The Hills are alive … but my guess is they won’t be for long.
THE HILLS HAVE A YES by Simon Delott
Reboots are so often reviled, fairly or unfairly.
But technically what we’re talking about here is a revival, where people can wax nostalgic about a show from yesteryear and see some of their returning favorites.
So … is The Hills: New Beginnings going to be a success? Maybe so. Heidi and Spencer, who are new parents, will be returning.
You know that people are going to want to check in on two of the world’s most famous hot messes in this new chapter of their lives.
Other familiar faces will be there, too, and we also should look at another revival from a similar era. Jersey Shore‘s comeback has been a hit.
It’s not dominating our culture the way it once did, but it’s making a splash in a big way, no doubt paving the way for this latest effort.
Some would say that bringing back The Hills without Lauren Conrad is like bringing back Jersey Shore without Snooki. And they’re not wrong.
But while people will surely miss Lauren, who is too busy being a mom to relive her reality television days, producing a reality series has fewer expenses than traditional television.
If there’s any entertainment value that these famously entertaining disasters can offer, this new series could run for a while.
GO HOME, 2007, YOU’RE DRUNK by Free Britney
Look, I don’t blame MTV for wanting to revive The Hills, nor can I blame the cast members for wanting to jump on board.
There’s very little risk, and what the hell else are they gonna do, come up with fresh ideas, or get real jobs, respectively?
With all due respect to the lovely Whitney Port (above) and company, obviously not. They don’t exactly have a lot going on.
Availability and opportunity doesn’t mean there’s enough nostalgia or new, capitvating material for this to stick, though.
The Hills dates back to when Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton were tabloid mainstays and reality TV was a novel concept.
In other words, it was a long ass time ago, and the show was more noteworthy in pioneering a genre than anything else.
A dramatized, quasi-scripted series about a real, likable person (Lauren) and her telegenic friends, frenemies and enemies (Speidi)?
That was something new and different.
Endlessly dramatic and fascinating, and just real enough to be relatable on some level, it became a pop culture staple.
Looking back, it’s no surprise that this became a hit, or that it spawned hundreds of shows following that same basic formula.
But therein lies the issue:
What made The Hills groundbreaking TV has essentially become ALL TV, and too many other shows (Jersey Shore included) do it better.
A lot of the time, Hills episodes were like watching paint dry. Its chief protagonist had enough and bailed. Even Speidi’s act got old.
No one has thought about The Hills or its stars in years. Years. After this initial buzz dies out, that will be the case once more.

Ashley Jacobs Actually Apologizes to Kathryn Dennis in Open Letter
Ashley Jacobs says she is very sorry.
But critics still say she is full of it.
Scroll down, read the latest piece of news about these Southern Charm stars, and try to decide for yourself on which side of this debate you fall.
“To all the Southern Charm fans, in general. And to Kathryn, in particular. I owe you all an apology,” Jacobs wrote in a note posted to Instagram on Tuesday, August 21.
Seems like a strong start, right?
Jacobs and Dennis engaged in a tense relationship throughout Southern Charm Season 5.
At the time, Jacobs was dating Thomas Ravenel, Dennis’ ex-boyfriend and the father of her two kids.
This created some understandable awkwardness, but perhaps now Jacobs has seen a bit of light after she broke up with Ravenel late last week.
(And after Ravenel was accused of rape by two different women.)
Continues Jacobs in her unexpected mea culpa:
“I’d like to apologize for how I treated Kathryn, and how badly I disrespected her. I’m not sure what made me think it was okay to speak to a mother that way.
“It wasn’t.
“It was not my place to say anything at all, much less the reckless comments I made. I crossed a line and hurt people who don’t deserve it.”
What are the sort of “reckless comments” to which Jacobs is referring here?
Well… she once called Dennis nothing but Ravenel’s “egg donor,” saying her kids “weren’t planned on.”
She also slammed her parenting style, suggesting Dennis was on drugs, and alleging she sees Ravenel’s children more than Dennis does.
You know, that sort of stuff; the sort of stuff ripe for a reality TV rivalry.
But now that Jacobs is no longer with Ravenel, and now that she maybe sees him for the monster he appears to be, Jacobs has seemingly come around.
“After many chats with my friends and family with children, I never understood the unbreakable bond a parent has with their child,” the 33-year-old writes here, adding:
“I can listen and learn and be more respectful in the future but until I’m blessed with a child, I can never truly understand the sacrifices a parent makes on behalf of their children.
“Some children may not truly get it until they have their own baby.
“It makes me feel horrible that I may have taken my own parents for granted and thus I’ve learned a tremendous lesson from all the good parents out there.
“I can’t rightfully describe how sorry I am, but I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t at least try.”
Wow, huh?
Jacobs started to appear on Southern Charm last year after she got together with Ravenel, who sahares four-year-old daughter Kensie and two-year-old son Saint with Dennis
It’s unclear if she’ll play a role on Season 6 now that Ravenel has announced his departure from the show.
It’s also unclear, to some, whether Jacobs is even sincere in writing all of these very kind words.
“Ashley just wants attention,” a critical insider tells Entertainment Tonight, adding that these women have not had any contact since the fiery Season 5 reunion.
“Kathryn is focused on more important things,” the source concluded when asked whether Dennis will respond.
Jacobs swears she means all of this, though.
“I have tried to ask her to lunch/coffee so I could apologize to her person to person,” Jacobs replied to one comment before revealing that she “attempted to apologize to her person to person a few months ago” to a different user.
No other Southern Charm cast member has remarked on this attempt to end the nasty feud, but we can guess what Patricia Altschul thinks about Jacobs.
Actually, we don’t need to guess.
“My new favorite word is ‘famewhore,’” she told Entertainment Tonight in July of Jacobs.
“I love to use it whenever possible, so… famewhore! Famewhore! Famewhore! I think it’s hard to fall in love after five dates.
Call me a skeptic, and the fact that she was so adamant about getting a ring, getting clothes, getting jewelry, getting Vuitton luggage.
“I mean, it seemed a little too obvious to just be love.”
