Virgin Becomes Pregnant at 29 - Here"s How and Why
A 29-year-old virgin is pregnant with her first child. No, this isn’t one of those things where someone reclaims their virginity — she has genuinely never had sex in any form.
A number of people are asking how, exactly, this came to be.
Even more are asking why.
The how is fairly obvious:
Lauren, who hails from a fairly conservative Manitoba community, found a fertility clinic and a sperm donor.
It was a little trickier than just that, however.
“I was born with hypopituitarism, which means my pituitary gland is not formed properly. It doesn’t send the right hormonal messages to the other glands in the body, like the adrenaline gland or the ovaries.”
That meant that she started puberty late. It also meant that she faced some obstacles when it came to fertility.
“The hardest thing was probably getting pregnant,” Lauren the 29-year-old virgin tells VICE.
“Initially my endocrinologist said it won’t happen, that I’ll need to get an egg donor and spend tens of thousands of dollars on IVF. I felt really shut down.”
Eventually, though, she had success using a sperm donor from the fertility clinic. Unlike most she didn’t try the “old fashioned way” of getting pregnant first, but she had her reasons.
For starters, she says that dating is … the worst.
“People say horrible stuff. I remember when I had an online dating profile the first comment I got was ‘Do you want to come sit on my face?’ For one, does that actually work on anyone? And two, no thank you. People like that turn me away.”
You gotta respect people’s boundaries, folks. Just because you would love a direct message (or maybe an unsolicited nude) doesn’t mean that various strangers are up for that as an icebreaker.
Lauren, who is due in June, talks about how she’s toyed with the idea of sex, despite not being super interested in dating.
“Since I’ve been pregnant there have been a few times where I’ve felt like maybe it would be nice to have someone for that — to go out and have sex…”
Not with anyone specific, mind you.
“Sometimes, out of curiosity, I think maybe I could try a random hookup, but that feeling very quickly passes — I realize I’m not acting like myself.”
hey, some folks aren’t big on hookup culture.
“The best possible situation would be with someone I’ve known for awhile. No dinner or anything like that. I’d be strictly seeing what this sex thing is all about.”
A lot of people try things like that. Maybe she’d be into it or maybe she wouldn’t. But it doesn’t sound like she’s planning on trying it.
“I feel like I would chicken out if there was a big lead-up to it. I’m a fairly anxious person, so I feel like going out to dinner with someone, I would either try to find reasons why I don’t like this person, or try to talk myself out of it.”
We’d never tell anyone else what to label themselves, but we can’t help but notice that some of what this woman describes sounds like what you’d expect to hear from someone on the asexual spectrum.
Your typical asexual may not particularly desire sex. Some have sex drives, which may strike them as a cosmic joke. Others do not.
She says that she has engaged in kissing, much to her chagrin.
“I’ve been kissed, very awkwardly. It’s not something I want to relive.”
Her interviewer asks her about masturbation, and got a similar answer.
“I tried it, and I didn’t really like it. Never did it again.”
Some people can’t fathom someone not being interested in sex. Even more people can wrap their heads around finding dating and hookups both equally troublesome, but can’t imagine life without masturbation.
If you’re wondering if her virginity is religiously motivated at this point, Lauren says that you couldn’t be further off.
“I make jokes about it but basically this is me giving a middle finger to the people who told me I couldn’t do it because I’m not married yet.”
It sounds like some people in her life have some very traditional views of how and when you’re supposed to have a child.
“It’s the opposite of a religious reason. If you’re telling me I can’t do this, I’m going to do it anyway.”
So, if we’re reading that correctly, she may come from one of those religious communities where they’d rather someone have a shotgun wedding than not get married and have a traditional family at all.
Hey, good for Lauren for living life by her own terms. As fertility technology improves, people can be awarded greater independence with their reproductive choices.

Malamute Goes on Tinder, Becomes Most Sought After Dater EVER
Not everyone has success on Tinder.
It really can be a hit-or-miss platform, considering the subjectivity involved in members of the opposite sex simply looking at one"s picture and choosing on the spot to swipe left or right.
But this isn"t the case for Phil.
Phil is outright OWNING Tinder at the moment, earning positive responses from nearly everyone who comes across his profile.
What"s his secret? Well… Phil is an Alaskan Malamute.
His owner made Phil an actual Tinder profile and the replies have gone viral – because they"re hilarious!
That"s what happens when you"re the one online dater who can get away with asking to lick someone on a first date.
Scroll around below to get an idea of what Phil"s life is like on Tinder:
1. First, This is Phil:
Who would NOT want to go home with him, right?!?
2. This is A Lot of Negotiating
But the two sides arrive at an amicable resolution.
3. Illegal?!?
What, are they gonna put me in doggy jail?
4. Dog WALKER?
Lady, walking isn’t the action I’m looking for here.
5. You Know When People Ask "Who’s a Good Boy?"
The answer is me.
6. A Little Tit for Tat, Please?
Or belly rubs for commands, I should say?

Kendall Jenner Debuts Super-Short Haircut, Becomes Kris Jenner Doppelganger
Kendall Jenner has been in the news quite a bit in recent months, but not for reasons that have anything to do with her modeling career.
First, there was the uproar over Kendall’s ridiculous Pepsi commercial that attempted to use racial unrest and the historic Black Lives Matter movement as gimmicks to sell carbonated sugar water.
Shortly thereafter, Kendall’s relationship with Blake Griffin (and the attendant rumor that she’s been banned from the Staples Center) made tabloid headlines.
And then there was the epic social media roasting that ensued after Kendall was named “Fashion Icon of the Decade” as part of some New York Fashion Week publicity stunt.
Needless to say, it’s been a rough year for the only member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan with a real job.
(We’re sure there are many who would argue that modeling doesn’t really qualify as a real job, but it certainly comes closer than reality TV star or “social media influencer.”)
Kendall has endured a string of PR nightmares that would leave many celebs plummeting toward the D-list.
Usually, Kenny would turn to her mom to get her out of a tight spot like this, but now that she’s grown and rocking Fashion Week on her own, it looks like she’s decided to take the reins of her career by literally becoming Kris Jenner.
Okay, she didn’t literally become Kris, but Kendall’s looking a lot like the world’s most famous momager, thanks to the dramatically shorter pixie cut she’s rocking these days.
Kendall debuted her new look on the NYFW runway last night, where she presumably stopped strutting long enough to accept her Most Important Person in the History of Ever Award.
She posted the above pic on Instagram as a means of sharing the moment with us plebes who weren’t able to attend the Tom Ford show.
Because this is 2017, the internet has much to say about KJ’s new ‘do.
Remarkably, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
We say that’s remarkable not because it’s an unattractive look, but because Twitter has reveled in dogpiling Kendall lately.
But the knives have apparently been put away for this one.
Naturally, many are reading way too much into the look, speculating that it may mark the beginning of a new era for Kendall.
We don’t know about all that.
We think she just looked in the mirror, asked herself what Kris Jenner would do, grabbed the scissors and started chopping.
Then she called 75 publicists because that’s Kris’ answer to everything.

Polish First Lady Disses Donald Trump, Becomes Internet Hero
We don"t know Agata Kornhauser-Duda. We"ve never met Agata Kornhauser-Duda. But we"d like to shake her hand.
Which is more than Agata Kornhauser-Duda wants to do with Donald Trump.
The Polish First Lady posed for a photo opportunity with the President, fellow First Lady Melania Trump and Polish President Andrzej Duda on Thursday, standing side-by-side with the aforementioned trio in front of the Warsaw Uprising Monument on Krasinski Square.
Just moments before the quartet gathered for the picture above, Donald Trump delivered a speech during the Three Seas Initiative Summit in Duda"s native country.
After the cameras stopped clicking, however, and it was time for the wives and husbands to part ways, Duda got in what can only be interpreted as a parting shot at the controversial Commander-in-Chief.
In the video below, you"ll see the Presidents shake hands and utter a few pleasantries.
You"ll then see Trump extend his hand out to Duda, only for her to walk right past it and embrace Melania instead!
HA!
As far as we know, she never circled back and acknowledged The Donald, who was left standing with an embarrassed, angry and stunned look on his face.
In Duda"s defense, it"s possible that Trump"s hand was so small she didn"t even see it there.
But watch the video for yourself and decide: Was this a purposeful dissing of our President?

Duggar Family Church Becomes Site of Anti-Trump Protest
Though it was the size of their seemingly ever-expanding brood that first landed Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar in the national spotlight, it’s the couples ultra-conservative religious and political views that have made them enduring subjects of both derision and fascination.
That fascination has come at a significant price, as the family has been beset by a string scandals ever since it was revealed in May of 2015 that eldest son Josh Duggar molested four of his sisters when they were young girls.
So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that the Duggars recently found themselves at the center of an uproar involving both their controversial religious beliefs and one of the more widely criticized policies of the Trump administration.
On Sunday, protestors gathered at the Cross Church in Springdale, Arkansas to protest Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement – a global initiative designed to combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions.
The reason for the location may not have had anything to do with the Duggars, but rather with the church’s founder, Ronnie Floyd, who was reportedly a valued “spiritual advisor” to Trump during his campaign.
The peaceful assembly was covered by a local reporter named Katie Davidson:
“Protestors have assembled in front of Cross Church in Rogers to ask Ronnie Floyd, who was a member of a spiritual advisory panel for President Trump during the campaign, to help the poor and the climate,” Davidson wrote on Facebook yesterday.
It is not known if the fact that the Duggars attend the church was a factor in the protestors’ choice of location, though some have speculated that they might have been motivated by the additional media attention they would receive at the Springdale Cross Church, as opposed to one of the other places of worship presided over by Floyd.
Like Bill Gothard, founder of the “Quiverfull movement” that forms the basis for many of the Duggars beliefs, Floyd has been wrapped in numerous scandals over the years.
Most recently, Floyd has come under fire the excessive “tithing” demands he makes of his parishioners, as well as for homopohobic views expressed in his book The Gay Agenda: It’s Dividing the Family, the Church, and a Nation.
While the Duggars political beliefs have long been a source of controversy, TLC has consistently attempted to separate the family from the ideology, so as not to alienate viewers or advertisers.
It’s a task that’s become increasingly difficult over the years and may soon prove impossible.
Watch Counting On online to try and pick out all the scenes that have been carefully edited so as not to reveal the Duggars’ most far-right wing beliefs.

Kailyn Lowry Graduates College, Becomes First Teen Mom to Do So!
Kailyn Lowry gets a lot of hate, and honestly, some of it is justified.
She can be cold, almost cruel, and she’s made some questionable life choices, there’s no doubt about that — but today, we’re not going to focus on the negative.
Today, we’re going to congratulate her for graduating college.
Yesterday, Kailyn graduated from Delaware State University with a bachelor’s degree in mass communications.
Pretty amazing, right?
Kailyn just turned 25, and she’s got two kids and is heavily pregnant with her third, so for her to earn her degree is honestly super impressive.
Not to mention the fact that, as of now, she’s the only Teen Mom with a bachelor’s degree.
Not too shabby for one of the most hated members of the franchise.
Kailyn has been very excited about her achievement, and understandably so.
She’s been sharing lots of pictures from yesterday, including a photo of herself in full graduation garb.
And an especially sweet one of her two sons, Isaac and Lincoln, at the ceremony, holding gifts for their mom.
In a blog she posted a couple of weeks ago, she wrote that she’d “been struggling to get through school and earn my bachelor’s over the last 6 years … Yes, 6 years.”
“Between teen motherhood, financial hurdles in the beginning, then moving to a new state, marriage, babies and divorce …”
“And then of course just wanting to give up, I (barely) held on and I’m FINALLY graduation May 13!”
She added that it’s been “an extremely long and emotional road for me and for my family.”
Earlier this week, she gave an interview explaining more about the struggle to graduate.
“It’s been a long and emotional journey,” she said, “especially without any support from my parents. But I’m so happy and relieved!”
Kailyn also revealed in that interview that after she gets her bachelor’s degree, she’ll move on to grad school.
So not only will she be the first Teen Mom to have a bachelor’s degree, but if she keeps up the hard work and adapts to to being a mom of three, she could be the first Teen Mom to have a master’s degree, too.
As she tweeted yesterday, “There’s beauty in the struggle.”
Congrats, Kailyn!

Pretty Little Liars Season 7 Episode 13 Recap: Death Becomes... WHO?!?
Well, now we know what A.D. stands for.
Maybe. Possibly. But probably not.
Still, we’ll get to that nugget of information in a bit.
First, let’s go over what happened when Hannah played television’s most dangerous game on Pretty Little Liars Season 7 Episode 13, “Hold Your Piece.”
The difficulties for Hannah got started after fashion blogger Runway Rebel accused her of stealing Claudia’s designs in order to dress Katherine.
These allegations really could not have been hurled at a worse time, either, as they flew just hours before Hanna and Lucas were scheduled to meet with their investors.
And then there was this little problem:
A.D. picked out an overly revealing look for Hanna to wear, one that would most definitely offend her conservative Japanese bankrollers.
Not that this mattered.
Because Hannah never even made it to the meeting.
Prior to stepping onto the elevator with Lucas, she received word (via a text message, of course) that Caleb was in the hospital; he’d been gassed while attempting to take apart A.D.’s board game.
Therefore, even though Caleb remained part of the land of the living, Hanna didn’t receive the special prize she would have gotten had she attended the meeting.
What would that prize even have been?
Gotta figure the severed finger Detective Furey received in the mail during the episode’s concluding scene. (Side note: EWWWW!)
Elsewhere on a fast-paced and intense installment of Pretty Little Liars Season 7:
Yvonne awoke from her coma… and got married to Toby!
Unfortunately, these ended up being not only the last vows she could exchange, but some of the final words: during a heartbreaking chat about her future with Toby, his brand new bride took her last breath.
May she rest in peace.
Aria and Emily tracked down Sydney, who they believed to be Runway Rebel’s anonymous source.
Upon finding her, they discovered that she and Jenna are both being manipulated by A.D. (Heck, Sydney actually believes these initials stand for Anonymous Donor, hence our opening to this recap.)
Spencer and Marco spent the hour bonding over ping pong. That’s about it.
Aria caught the very end of a television interview with Nicole.
During this Q&A, she said that the mere thought of seeing Ezra again was what helped her survive.
Needless to say, she was therefore bummed out, yet this disappointment quickly turned to panic and shock when Aria arrived home to find Nicole sitting all alone in the dark.
YIKES!
That’s a lot to digest in one hour of television; some good, some bad, a whole lot sad.

Man Breaks Up Fight, Imparts Wisdom, Becomes Viral Hero
We sometimes toss around the word "hero" too loosely at The Hollywood Gossip.
We"ve used it to describe the person who started a GoFundMe page to keep Betty White alive in 2016.
And we also used it to compliment a woman who went undercover to spy on her best friend"s date.
But the following video really does feature someone who can appropriately be talked about in heroic terms.
We don"t know his name.
But footage of this man walking up to two boys who are engaged in a fight in the middle of the street has gone crazy viral; it"s been viewed over 3.5 million times.
In the video below, we see the stranger do his best to talk sense into these young men, telling them they actually aren"t so young after all and it"s about time they started to act like adults.
He points to so-called friends of theirs, standing around and laughing and recording their actions, egging them on, wanting them to be enemies.
And he refuses to leave until the combatants stop their immature silliness and shake hands.
Among those who have seen and praised the video? LeBron James.
"So dope!!! #Salute the homie who stepped in and spoke real to our young generation. We all need a word or 2 to help," wrote the NBA superstar in response to the footage.
Added professional wide receiver Torrey Smith on Twitter:
"This is a REAL man right here! Y"all youngins need to watch and learn from this video about your "friends"…salute to this dude!."
And former Major League Baseball utility man Jerry Hairston, Jr. chimed in as follows:
"More MEN are needed in this world like this. #RealTalk."
Go ahead and see what all the excitement is about.

The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 13 Recap: Morgan Becomes a Killer
If you were looking for some raw emotion after several weeks of filler drama, you probably did not expect the events that transpired on The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 13.
If you watch The Walking Dead online, you will already know it was only a matter of time before Ezekiel changed his stance on the Saviors and everything boiled over on the latest episode.
When the episode got underway, the King and his men were on their way to delivering some goods to the scary looking people they have been dealing with all season long. The group was presented with a string of shocks along the way.
For a start, their route was blocked off due to a shopping cart blockade. Ominously, there was a grave already dug with “Bury Me Here” plastered across a sign.
When the group finally got to the meeting point, it became apparent there was going to be some trouble brewing. Part of this was down to the fact that one of the melons were missing.
The unnamed dude decided that it was time to commit some murder over some missing melons. This resulted in Ben being shot.
The group took the teenager to Carol’s house because they knew she was the best person to try to save him, but it was too late.
He bled out on her kitchen table, and it resulted in some of the most emotionally charged scenes of the season.
The death destroyed Morgan, who immediately thought about the death of his wife and son. After lashing out, he found the missing melon and realized Richard was the perpetrator.
It all made sense: Richard wanted to join the fight against the Saviors weeks ago, so turning Ezekiel against the evil guys was a good move to start that war.
Morgan went straight to Richard, who was quick to point out that he volunteered himself for the kill.
“Someone had to die. I tried to be the one,” Richard revealed. Yeah, be careful what you wish for, Richie.
When the group returned to the Saviors with the missing melon, Morgan shocked everyone by strangling Richard to death. It was gruesome and shocking, but it successfully raised the stakes.
It also helped Morgan change his stance on the whole killing thing. He was now a cold-blooded killer.
“I wanted to show you that we get it,” Morgan claimed, as he revealed the shocking depths of Richard’s deceit.
The Saviors were taken aback, but happy. It put them in a false sense of security as the group decided how best to proceed.
After a horrible day, Morgan went to visit Carol to bring her up to speed on the events, but also to let her know what happened to Glenn, Abraham, Spencer and Olivia.
Carol was not shocked. When you think about it, these people never get anything good in their lives, so the poor woman probably knew all along that something was not right.
Carol went after Morgan after he stormed off and was there for him when he needed her. It was very similar to the way he was there for her earlier in the series.
Carol then decided enough was enough and turned to Ezekiel to let him know it was ready to join the fight with Rick and his people.
Ezekiel did not even hesitate and agreed on the spot. This was a far cry from his reaction a few weeks back. All it took was young Ben dying.
What did you think of all the latest drama?
Are you ready for the war?

Chris Evans Fights White Supremacist, Becomes National Hero
So just in case you missed the memo, Chris Evans has recently made himself known as the hero this world needed.
The hero this world needed, but not the one it deserved.
Chris has been vocal for the past several months now about his feelings about Donald Trump — they"re negative, by the way.
And then, last week, he commented on the confirmation of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, saying that if David Duke approved of him, he"s for sure a bad choice.
David Duke, by the way, is a big ol" white supremacist and former Imperial Wizard of the KKK.
David got wind of Chris" words, and he didn"t take too kindly to them.
And what happened next … well, let"s just say that Chris Evans may actually be Captain America right now.
1. How It All Began
Chris Evans makes a fair point. The fairest point, possibly.
2. Duke Responds
Aww, somebody’s got hurt feelings, huh?
3. Another Point to Chris
Everyone please congratulate Mr. Evans on all the real talk.
4. Whoa There …
Apparently these photos prove Chris hates white women ….? In some universe?
5. Boom, There It Is
And this is how Chris Evans won everything.
6. And The Reactions Begin …
Needless to say, people were quick to chime in with their views on the Chris Evans vs. Actual Nazi Monster debacle.

Donald Trump Becomes President: Celebrities React!
Hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your friends and family if they happen to be anything other than a rich white man …
Donald Trump is officially the president of the United States of America.
It"s a tough pill to swallow, but look on the bright side: if Trump succeeds in repealing Obamacare, then so many people won"t have any more pills to swallow!
But while we all struggle to accept this new reality (and to avoid the demons and various hellbeasts that will surely start flying out of the underworld any minute now), let"s try to lighten things up, just a little bit.

3. Olivia Wilde

4. Josh Gad
“I am so genuinely grateful that the TV in my trailer is broken today and my wifi doesn’t have the signal to stream. #gooddayforbadtech”
5. Zoe Saldana
“I’m trying to be a respectful diligent American rt now but as I start to watch this inauguration- Regression is the word that comes to mind.”
6. John Legend
