One of the nice things that we can say about Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard is that they break Jim Bob’s rules.
Now, Jill is letting her sons watch a Christmas movie that’s about as secular as you can get while, you know, being about Christmas.
She’s having the...

Kate Middleton Defies Dress Code, Actually Garners Backlash
It has happened, folks.
It has finally happened.
The celebrity most impervious to criticism is actually on the receiving end of a few harsh rebukes…
… and it’s all due to the color of a dress Kate Middleton chose to wear in public over the weekend.
On Sunday night, Middleton and husband Prince William attended the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), which are the British equivalent of the Academy Awards.
As always, the eyes of a nation turned to Middleton not only because she’s beautiful and fashionable and beloved – but also because she’s seven months pregnant.
What sort of outfit would she wear? Would her baby bump be visible?
The brunette bombshell chose a deep green cap-sleeved gown by Jenny Packham, and she looks gorgeous in the dress.
No one on social media dared to debate this point, as Kate also accessorized with emerald jewelry, suede Prada heels and a black clutch.
But nearly everyone else at the event went with black tuxedos or gowns.
You see, just like the Golden Globes in January, attendees of this year’s BAFTAs were strongly encouraged to wear this color in support of the Time’s Up initiative, which stands against harassment, assault and mistreatment of women.
Specifically, the organization is a legal defense fund meant to provide monetary support to those who wish to take legal action.
It was started after the #MeToo movement swept Hollywood, exposing sexual predators such as Harvey Weinstein and Matt Lauer.
Even though the Royal Family famously stays away from hot-button political issues, many fans assumed Middleton would at least show support for this cause, simply considering how non-controversial it is.
Or how non-controversial it should be, at least.
As a result of Middleton’s decision to don green, therefore, these folks felt let down by their duchess.
“Disappointed in #KateMiddleton #DuchessofCambridge not wearing black to the #EEBAFTAs It’s not a political thing. It’s a woman thing!” wrote one disgruntled Internet user.
Added another:
“I know the Royals aren’t supposed to get involved with “protests” or anything… but would it really have been THAT bad for Kate Middleton to wear black??? #BAFTAs2018.”
Middleton, of course, has a lot going on these days.
She’s due to give birth in just a few weeks, possibly to a PAIR OF BABIES.
It’s conceivable, albeit unlikely, that she was unaware that stars had been asked to wear black in honor of this initiative.
Without citing any specific cause, she has spoken up in the past about motherhood and feminism.
“Personally, becoming a mother has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience,” she said in a speech last year, adding at the time:
“However, at times it has also been a huge challenge. Even for me who has support at home that most mothers do not.
“It’s full of complex emotions of joy, exhaustion, love, and worry, all mixed together.”
The crux of this speech wasn’t really political, but it did tackle the subject of mental health, proving that Middleton isn’t afraid to at least touch on topics that mean a lot to her.
“It is right to talk about motherhood as a wonderful thing,” she said.
“But we also need to talk about its stresses and strains. It’s okay not to find it easy, and asking for help should not be seen as a sign of weakness.
“If any of us caught a fever during pregnancy, we would seek advice and support from a doctor. Getting help with our mental health is no different.”
These words were met with strong virtual applause across the Internet.
Many just wish Kate, when faced with the opportunity, had said something similar about the ongoing female empowerment movement taking over the film industry as well.

Kylie Jenner Defies Kanye West, Signs Deal With Puma
The last few weeks have seen so many insane Kanye West Twitter rants that it’s tough to keep track of them all.
But amongst all the usual Kanye bluster and BS, one of the more memorable tirades was directed at Puma, and featured Kanye informing the sneaker company that he basically owns Kylie Jenner.
Apparently, Kanye caught wind of the fact that Kylie had been offered a seven-figure endorsement deal by the popular brand.
As you may know, Kanye designs hideous sneakers that are manufactured by Adidas, and he saw Kylie’s new opportunity as a conflict of interest.
So, as he does when he feels he’s been publicly disrespected (or when he gets mayo on his BLT, even though he TOTALLY SAID NO MAYO, BRUH!!!”), Kanye took to Twiter to express his seething outrage:
“1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That’s on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!” quoth Yeezus.
“Puma we gone give you your measly million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!”
Yes, the man went full-Don Corleone over some freakin’ sneakers, and apparently his over-reaction did not go over well with the Kard clan.
Maybe it was Kylie’s way of asserting her independence, or Kris’ way of reminding Kanye that she owns Kylie, but for whatever reason, Kylie reportedly went right ahead and signed with Puma.
We would give Kylie props for making Kanye look stupid, but it was more like an assist.
As usual, he did a fine job of making himself look like an idiot.

Blake Lively Bikini Body Defies Comprehension
Blake Lively has unveiled her post-baby bikini body, and if a picture is worth 1,000 words, there are about a million that go without saying.
The former Gossip Girl cast member flaunted her figure on the beach on Lord Howe Island in New South Wales, Australia, on Wednesday.
Nine-month-old James" mom sported a cleavage-baring orange string bikini top and teamed it with blue bottoms that left tongues wagging.
She is filming a new movie on location there, but we"ve already forgotten which one, because the current distractions are just too robust.
Apologies for the minor programming inconvenience, though we"re guessing if you"re reading this, you could not possibly care less anyway.
Lively is no stranger to showing off her assets. She previously slipped into a two-piece while feeding her baby girl (James is female) in July.
"The PERKS of breastfeeding," the stunning star captioned an Instagram picture of herself nursing at the time, without showing James" face.
Naturally for a woman who may be a cyborg, Lively didn"t hit the gym after birthing her first child, instead employng "gentle" diet and exercise.
"[It"s] not something I have spent much time focusing on. With a new baby, it"s just about eating well for her," Lively told You magazine.
"There"s pressure to lose [weight], or women are supposed to look like they did when they were 19 right after you give birth to your child."
"I think it"s silly. We don"t have red carpets in our house, or glam squads and people making us look awesome and making it look easy."
While Blake shut down Preserve earlier this year, admitting her venture"s failure, it"s safe to say she is still winning at life in other ways.
