Prepare to Cry Over This Father"s Support for His Son

In 2015, Gabriel Marshall was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

There"s simply no way to fathom what a father goes through when such a tragedy strikes his son.

Below, however, we document the incredible steps taken by Gabriel"s father, Josh, in order to show for his ailing child…

1. Close from the Beginning

Family members say Josh and Gabriel have been very close ever since the latter was born.

2. The Diagnosis

In 2015, doctors found a tumor in Gabriel’s brain. Surgery would be required. He was six years old at the time.

3. A Touching Gesture

“My son was very self-conscious after he got his surgery. He felt like a monster,” Marshall told ABC News of the resulting scar. So Josh did something that few father would ever consider: he got a matching tattoo on his head.

4. A Road to Recovery

Gabriel is on the mend, and Josh is being hailed as a hero. He received an outpouring of praise after he entered a photo to the St. Baldrick Foundation’s #BestBaldDad competition, in which 55 dads who shaved their heads in support of their children with cancer submitted photo entries. Marshall’s image was captioned: “Me and my son at this year’s St. Baldrick’s event in Wichita, Kansas. Got my son’s scar tattooed to help his self-confidence.”

5. Heroic Father and Cute Son

The Marshalls won first place in the aforementioned competition, prompting Josh to tell ABC: “I never intended for it to be this big. It was just a friendly competition between fellow cancer dads and people showing support for their loved ones who have fought cancer.”

6. A Happy Ending

Gabriel is now eight years old and still has some of the tumor in his brain, but his scans are currently stable, BuzzFeed News confirms. “He’s been doing good and he’s been off treatment about nine months now,” Josh says. We are so happy to hear it!

Suri Cruise Spent Father"s Day Alone, Where Was Tom Cruise?

Suri Cruise may be grateful to her father for the wealth and life of privilege he’s provided her, but it likely ends there.

Tom Cruise has reportedly not seen his ten-year-old daughter in over 1,000, which may or may not be true.  What is true is that Suri was with her mom on Father’s Day.

Sources told Page Six that Katie Holmes took Suri to Italian eatery Serafina in East Hampton, where the youth “caused a fun ruckus” with her friends.

“They were there with a woman and two other kids. Suri and her friends were playing, and running around the restaurant,” a source recalled

“It looked like they were playing tag . . . Running from table to table, but the customers didn’t mind. They were just laughing and happy running around the patio.”

Suri didn’t just keep to her crew, either.  

The source noticed that she became friendly “with kids who were sitting at the next table. I don’t think they knew they were ‘famous.’”

From reading the story, it appears that Suri displays superb social skills, something that would shock anyone who has witnessed the rise and fall of her mom’s marriage to the Top Gun star.

“She was so chatty,” the source said of Suri.

“Suri and Katie were very friendly and said goodbye to the staff and a few customers on the way out.

Earlier this month, In Touch alleged that Tom doesn’t keep in touch with his daughter.

“They used to Skype and text, but that trailed off drastically,” a source told the tabloid, pointing out that the actor “uses his film commitments as an excuse” not to see Suri.

“The truth is that doesn’t hold much weight with Suri anymore,” the source added.

“Tom eats, breathes and sleeps Scientology,” another source said of Tom’s religious beliefs.

“He’s disconnected from Katie, and then de facto from Suri, because of her connection to Katie. He hasn’t seen her since she was 7.”

Tom is in Morocco shooting The Mummy with Russell Crowe.

Jessa Duggar Pens Father"s Day Tribute, Reveals Controversial Money-Saving Measures

Yesterday was Father’s Day, and like every year, the day saw countless celebs paying tribute to their pops on social media. 

But for all that online love, it’s possible that no one penned a lengthier ode to dear old dad than Jessa Duggar.

Jessa took to her blog to post a list of 101 reasons that she’s grateful for Jim Bob Duggar.

As you might guess, Jesus’ name comes up more times than in the New Testament.

But in addition to the usual endless Bible-thumping, Jessa shares some interesting revelations about the cost-cutting measures necessitated by raising 19 freakin’ kids.

She lists one of the things she’s thankful for as:

“The special times when we went out to eat (yes, we most definitely took advantage of kids-eat-free, the modern day policies of “2 children per paying adult” probably happened because of us??)”

It was clearly meant to be a lighthearted reminiscence, but a lot of commenters on social media have taken it as another indication that the Jim Bob and Michelle had more kids than they were able to support and milked the system as a result.

The Duggars have boasted about taking advantage of loopholes and corporate offers in the past, particularly in the months after  TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting, thus cutting off the family’s primary means of support.

For instance, back in September, Krispy Kreme offered a free box of donuts to anyone who came into one of their locations dressed like a pirate.

The Duggars put on their seafaring garb and hit up one store for fourteen boxes of donuts.

The comments on the above photo were not kind, as most fans seemed to feel that the older Duggar siblings were effectively teaching the younger ones how to take advantage of the generosity of others.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be such an issue if the family hadn’t repeatedly boasted about getting by without welfare or any other form of public assistance.

As it is, in paying tribute to her father, Jessa may have inadvertently re-ignited a Duggar controversy.

Kim Kardashian Shares New Photo of Saint West In Father"s Day Post

In between the gratuitous boob/butt shots she puts on Instagram, Kim Kardashian sometimes posts the most adorable family shots.

Yesterday, Kardashian paid tribute to her husband, Kanye West for Father’s Day.  

The candid photo featured a bikini-clad Kardashian lying on a surfboard as West (holding Saint) and North West (in a white bikini to match mom’s), met her at the shoreline.

“Happy Fathers Day babe!” she wrote.

“Thank you for always putting our family first and being the best dad to our babies! I couldn’t ask for a better husband and more perfect family. We love you so much!”

Saint was born on December 5th, 2015, and North just celebrated her third birthday last week.  

Kardashian also posted a throwback photo of her late father, Robert Kardashian, who died from throat cancer in 2003.

“Happy Father’s Day dad! You were the best dad in the world!” the reality star wrote.

“The last conversation I had with you I told you that I was so lucky to have had the best example of what a dad should be and one day I will have kids and pass on everything you taught me.

“In [sic] so lucky to have had you as my dad. I love you.”

Over the weekend, North and her cousin, Penelope Disick had a mermaid-themed birthday party.  Kardashian got into the swing of things by re-wearing her Splash-inspired mermaid costume from Midori’s 2012 Halloween Party.

Family is important to her, so Kardashian is doing her best to slowly warm up to brother Rob Kardashian’s fiance, Blac Chyna, with whom he’s expecting his first child at the end of the year.

“Chyna’s a sweet girl, and I think we all have so many things going on in our lives that we just want my brother to be happy,” Kardashian said in the July issue of GQ.

Kardashian and Chyna were friends three years ago when West collaborated with Chyna’s ex-fiance, Tyga.  The friendship ended when Tyga started dating Kylie Jenner.

Meadow Walker Awarded $10 Million in Settlement Over Father"s Death

Meadow Walker, daughter of the late actor Paul Walker, was awarded $ 10.1 in a settlement with Roger Rodas’ estate.

Roger Rodas was the driver of the Porsche involved in the accident that killed both Walker and Rodas in 2013, which left fans shocked and devastated.

Jeffrey Milam, Meadow’s attorney, released the following statement:

“The amount paid by the estate of Roger Rodas into a trust for Meadow Walker only covers a fraction of what her father would have earned as an international movie star had his life not tragically been cut short.

“Through his estate, Mr. Rodas, the driver of the car, took partial responsibility for the crash. Meadow’s lawsuit against Porsche AG—a $ 13 billion corporation—intends to hold the company responsibly for producing a vehicle that was defective and caused Paul Walker’s death.”

Earlier this week, Rodas’ widow lost her lawsuit against Porsche, which included allegations of negligence, wrongful death and product liability. 

Speaking on the Rodas case, Milam pointed out that the cases were too different to compare.

“The issues in the cases are very different,” he told E! News. “The federal case was filed on behalf of Roger Rodas, who was the driver of the Porsche Carrera GT and was killed instantly upon impact.” 

“Meadow’s father, Paul Walker, was a passenger in the car. He survived the crash but was trapped and burned to death because of the vehicle’s defects.”

Last Father’s Day, Meadow, who is now 17, shared a sweet throwback photo of herself as a baby embracing her late father.

Justin Bieber Reacts to Father"s Penis Props

Justin Bieber has a few more things to say about his penis.

Last week, a little while after a viral Justin Bieber naked photo nearly broke the Internet, the singer admitted that he felt violated by The New York Daily News invading his privacy while he vacationed in Bora Bora.

He also defended his girth by saying some shrinkage was involved.

Justin’s father, however, took the opposite approach in reacting to his son’s manhood, going online and Tweeting in impressive response:

“@justinbieber what do you feed that thing. #proud daddy.”

The response was viewed by many as wildly gross and inappropriate, with Bette Midler (yes, Bette Midler!) referring to Jeremy Bieber as a dick who abandoned his son.

How did Justin feel about his father’s private part props?

“I thought it was hilarious,” he told Zach Sang and the Gang during a radio interview on Monday “It’s such a dad thing to do.”

Bieber added that he can’t believe anyone has even taken issue with his dad for this:

“When I found out that people were hating on him for saying that, I was like, ‘are you kidding me? What dad wouldn’t be proud of that?’

“It’s not like he’s saying it to an 11-year old. I’m 21 years old.”

We might counter by asking Justin what dad would choose to look at a naked photo of his 21-year old son.

But why start a family feud, right?
