Josh Duggar Is Breaking the Law Again: Will He FINALLY Go to Jail?!
When Josh Duggar molested five young girls, he avoided arrest and prosecution with the help of his parents.
In the years since the scandal came to light, many Duggar fans have hoped that the long arm of the law would eventually catch up to Josh.
According to a new report from Radar Online, Josh has once again been caught breaking the law.
But it doesn’t look as though he’ll be imprisoned for his most recent infractions.
The site claims that Wholesale Motorcars in Washington County, Arkansas — which Josh has managed since 2015 — has been operating without a permit for the entirety of his tenure.
“We have one zoning designation in the county to allow single-family residential or agricultural uses,” a planning official in Washington County told Radar.
“Anything else requires a conditional use permit to request a zoning change.”
Officials claim Josh just started a business on non-commercial property without notifying the proper authorities.
When a local fire marshal noticed Josh’s failure to obtain the proper licensing, he reported the father of five.
As we’ve reported in the past, Josh is hated in his hometown, but his father, Jim Bob Duggar, still enjoys a tremendous amount of clout.
As such, Josh was given a second chance to comply with the law.
“The fire marshal wasn’t going to issue any more extensions,” the planning authority told Radar.
“He was requiring that Josh make a good faith attempt, or make effort, toward receiving a review and permit approval, so that’s what he did.”
And so, Josh was given time to apply for the mandatory permits and make the necessary repairs — of which there were many.
Reports indicate that Josh didn’t display the building’s address anywhere on its exterior (a shady detail if ever there was one)/
Also, his property had no smoke detectors and was generally in a state of disrepair.
Of course, the Duggars have violated local zoning laws before, most recently when Jim Bob attempted to open a “luxury RV park” without notifying local officials.
Like Josh, Jim Bob was in no way held accountable for his violations.

Teresa Giudice Finally Responds: Will She Divorce Joey G?
You’ve likely heard the rumors.
You’ve probably read the headlines.
But now we have the answer.
About four months after Joe Giudice was told he was going to be deported next year after he gets released from jail, his famous wife has answered the question that continues to hang over her and her family.
Will she or won’t she divorce Joe in light of this troubling development?
Joe, who has been featured prominently on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, pleaded guilty years ago to multiple counts of financial fraud.
He was subsequently sentenced to over 40 months behind bars, a stint he is currently serving.
In late June, a judge decreed that Giudice (who moved here from Italy as a child, yet never became a United States citizen) must move back to his native country once he’s a free man because he’s an immigrant who committed a felony.
It’s as simple as that.
But Teresa and Joe’s relationship seems complicated.
Can it survive such a traumatic jolt as one half no longer being permitted to live in America?
Is Teresa devastated by this news or secretly celebrating her upcoming freedom?
Asked by Entertainment Tonight over the weekend when she would ever divorce her husband, Teresa answered succinctly:
“No. We’re going to be a family, and we’re going to fight this and get through this.”
Teresa and Joe pleaded guilty to numerous charges of fraud in 2014.
The mother of four was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison and started her sentence in January of 2015, but was released early.
Then, earlier this year, 31 months into his sentence, the U.S. Department of Justice confirmed that Joe had been ordered to leave the United States at the end of his prison sentence.
(He has fewer than 30 days to appeal the decision.)
But will he be going alone? Or might the entire Giudice clan uproot their lives to keep him company?
“We are not even thinking about [whether we’d move to Italy] right now. We’re going to take it day by day. We’re going to take it one step at a time,” Teresa told ET, adding:
“First, we’re going to process the paperwork to do an appeal, and we’re going to get through that.”
Continues Giudice:
“I can’t predict the future, and I am not going to be… I am going to be positive about it,” she said. “Joe starts talking about [the deportation order] and I don’t want to talk about it yet…
“I shut him down. I don’t want to talk about it, and what comes first is our daughters and we’re going to fight this.”
The embattled couple has four children:
17-year-old Gia, 14-year-old Gabriella, 13-year-old Milania and 9-year-old Audriana.
In response to her dad’s situation, Gia recently tried to rally support for her imprisoned father.
“My father is no threat to society,” she wrote as a caption to a throwback photo of dad and daughter, adding:
“He is one of the most warm hearted people I know…
“My father did his time. And learned from his mistakes. Isn’t being in there supposed to make you realize your mistakes so you can become a better person?”

Khloe Kardashian: FINALLY Ready to Dump Tristan Thompson?!
Another NBA season is upon us, which means Tristan Thompson will be spending much of the next several months traveling with the Cleveland Cavs.
And it seems Khloe Kardashian is not too keen on the idea of spending her winter wondering if her husband is sleeping around.
As you’re no doubt aware, Tristan spent much of last season cheating on Khloe while she was pregnant with his child.
Against all odds, the couple patched things up over the offseason, but it seems the peace they reached was tentative at best.
Now, with Tristan returning his attention to basketball, it seems Khloe is harboring some serious doubts about the future of her relationship.
“She very much seems over Tristan,” a source close to the situation tells People magazine.
“Not sure how they went from fine to being apart for weeks, but Khloe is doing great.”
The source adds that Khloe has not followed Tristan back to Cleveland, as was expected — but for the time being, everyone seems content with the current living situation:
“It doesn’t seem to bother her that she isn’t with Tristan in Cleveland,” the insider says.
“She seems to know what she wants in her life right now. And it definitely doesn’t seem like she wants to be with Tristan.”
As for whether or not Khloe and Tristan have officially broken up, it seems the couple is remaining mum in the issue for now:
“Khloe isn’t saying that she and Tristan split. It seems she hasn’t decided yet what she wants to do about their relationship,” the source tells People.
“And she seems fine about this.”
For months, we’ve been hearing reports of the Kardashians pressuring Khloe to dump Tristan, so it should come as no surprise that Kim and company are quite pleased by this development:
“Her family is happy that she is still in L.A. and wants her around for as long as possible,” the insider says.
“No one is pushing for her to go back to Cleveland to be with Tristan. This will be her decision to make.”
But despite the dissolution of both her relationship and the dreams of a traditional nuclear family that have been with her since childhood, those her know her best say Khloe has never been happier:
“It’s amazing to see what a great mom she is and how much she enjoys it,” says the insider.
“She is very much just focused on the happy things in her life. True, of course, makes her the happiest.”
Sounds like Khloe is once again focused on doing what’s best for her baby — and for herself.

Jenelle Evans: Is She Finally Getting Fired from Teen Mom 2?!
Can you imagine working with Jenelle Evans?
Seriously, just take a moment to sit back and really let yourself think about what it would be like to go to work and have to deal with this girl.
It would be absolute madness, right?
And that"s what MTV has been putting up with for years.
It"s honestly kind of shocking that she hasn"t been fired yet, considering everything she"s done and how she behaves and just who she is as a person.

Ryan Edwards: Leaving Rehab Early to Finally Meet His Son?
Last week, we reported on the news that Ryan Edwards had checked into rehab after struggling with an opioid addiction for several years.
Shortly thereafter, the world learned that Edwards" wife, Mackenzie Standifer, had given birth to a son.
Jagger Edwards is the couples" first child together, but sadly, Ryan missed the birth due to his continued treatment.
As painful as the thought of missing his son"s first weeks on the planet must have been, it was widely assumed that Edwards would remain in treatment in order to ensure that he receives the kind of help he needs.
Sadly, it doesn"t look like that will be the case …

Mackenzie McKee: My Mom Is FINALLY Done With Chemo!
There was a time when it looked as though Mackenzie McKee would replace Farrah Abraham on Teen Mom OG.
Ultimately, the show’s producers decided to go in a different direction, casting Bristol Palin and Cheyenne Floyd instead.
But fan interest in Mackenzie and her family remains at an all-time high.
Fortunately, we’ve been able to keep up on the latest developments with the McKees thanks to Mackenzie’s social media posts and a recent Where Are They Now? Teen Mom special that checked in on the family.
As you may recall, Mackenzie’s mother, Angie Douthit, suffers from stage 4 cancer.
Both Angie and Mackenzie have made the courageous decision to offer regular updates during this intensely difficult time in hopes that they might serve as an inspiration to others who are struggling.
And this week, Angie was finally able to share some good news with fans in the form of the video below.
In the clip, Douthit triumphantly rings a bell to celebrate the end of her intravenous chemo treatments.
“I got to ring the bell!” Angie wrote on Instagram.
“I wore my Wonder Woman shirt because I wore it to my first chemo treatment and thought it only fitting to wear it to my last IV chemo treatment.”
She went on to demonstrate the humor and optimism that have endeared her to so many Teen Mom fans over the years:
“(Yes, I wore it to school all day too!) I was the first one to ring the new bell that wasn’t even mounted to the wall yet. Ringing the bell signifies that I’m finished with all my rounds of chemo.
“Although I’m still taking a chemo pill everyday, I’m through with IV chemo.”
Proving once again that she’s an almost impossibly selfless person, Douthit stated that one of her favorite parts of completing this stage of treatment was seeing how happy it made her husband:
“Brad and I celebrated last night with dinner at his favorite restaurant,” she wrote.
“Watching him be so relaxed and celebrating brought joy to my heart. God has been so good.
“I haven’t been very sick from the chemo, I’m still working, and I still have my eyelashes lol,” Angie continued.
“It was 18 weeks of being carried by the love of God… I have no control over my future,” she added.
“None of us do. But, we can relax and be calm knowing our big God is in control because he loves us so much!”
The post is a far cry from the one Angie wrote back in June, in which she opened up about how much she was dreading the chemotherapy process.
“This morning we leave at 7:30 to begin another new journey,” Douthit wrote at the time.
“IV chemo… As I’ve shared before, I dread chemo. However, God revealed to me that if I never had to go through IV chemo I would never fully understand cancer.”
Sadly, Angie is not out of the woods yet, but the thoughts and prayers of millions are with her as she completes her recovery.
Here’s hoping for another upbeat update in the very near future.

Justin Theroux Finally Speaks on "Gentle" Jennifer Aniston Split
No one told Justin Theroux his life was gonna be this way.
His job isn’t a joke. The guy definitely isn’t broke. And his love life, when it comes to Jennifer Aniston, was not DOA.
But the marriage was put to sleep back in February of this year, as the famous couple ended their union after two and a half years.
Did it die a slow and painful death, though?
The former Leftover lead has said next to nothing about his split from America’s Sweetheart, remaining almost entirely mum on the topic until speaking to The New York Times for an article that went viral on Saturday.
“The good news is that was probably the most – I’m choosing my words really carefully – it was kind of the most gentle separation, in that there was no animosity,” the 47-year old told the publication.
He added:
“In a weird way, just sort of navigating the inevitable perception of it is the exhausting part.”
That perception, of course, is that someone cheated.
Or there was some huge and ugly falling out.
Or, of course, that Aniston just wants to get back together with Brad Pitt and this romance was destined to fail.
Theroux and Aniston must have known that this is the sort of stuff people would say once they announced their divorce, so at least they were prepared to deal with the fallout.
In reality, however, Theroux says here that the break-up did not come about due to any one significant issue.
Rather, there were many small cracks that eventually led to an unfixable fissure.
“These are actually in reality small events that take place,” he said, explaining as best he could to The Times:
“But everything can feel like 10 on the Richter scale if you make the headline big enough and salacious enough.”
Sources at the time mostly blamed the split on different lifestyles and different visions of the future.
Aniston wanted to live full-time in Los Angeles, for example, while Theroux preferred New York.
Now, seven months later, Theroux says he’s adjusting well, noting that breakups in Hollywood are different because of what he refers to as a “kind of carny lifestyle” with frequent scenery changes.
“[It] doesn’t have that seismic shift of an ordinary couple, where everything is, like, you have to tear a baby in half,” he said.
“Neither one of us is dead, neither one of us is looking to throw hatchets at each other. It’s more like, it’s amicable. It’s boring, but, you know, we respected each other enough that it was as painless as it could be.”
That really is pretty boring.
Yet it also makes sense.
It must be challening to keep a spark lit when each half of the couple has such a busy schedule and is traveling so often.
“It was heartbreaking only in the sense that the friendship would not be the same, as far as just the day to day,” he concluded.
“But the friendship is shifting and changing, you know, so that part is something that we’re both very proud of.”
For her part, Aniston has clapped back against most of the BS out there.
“It’s pretty crazy,” she said in August. “The misconceptions are ‘Jen can’t keep a man,’ and ‘Jen refuses to have a baby because she’s selfish and committed to her career.
“Or that I’m sad and heartbroken.”
Having dealth with rumors about her womb and her love life forever and ever, Aniston rightfully went off this summer as follows:
First, with all due respect, I’m not heartbroken.
And second, those are reckless assumptions. No one knows what’s going on behind closed doors. No one considers how sensitive that might be for my partner and me.
They don’t know what I’ve been through medically or emotionally.

Joe Alwyn FINALLY Opens Up About Dating Taylor Swift
There was a time when the idea of Taylor Swift stepping away from the spotlight in favor of a more pedestrian existence would have seemed absurd.
Following the release of her 1989 album, Swift was one of the most visible people on the planet, and the adoration from her legion of fans seemed to be mutual.
In those days, it seemed impossible to imagine Swift living a more low-profile existence.
Even if she had wanted to, the idea that the singer would be able to evade the prying eyes of the social media hordes seemed unfathomable.
But somehow, Taylor Swift has managed to execute the world’s most unlikely disappearing act in recent months.
In fact, Taylor’s love life — once a subject of rampant tabloid scrutiny — has been something of an enigma as of late.
We know that Taylor is dating Joe Alwyn, but prior to this week, neither party had spoken publicly about the relationship.
The London-based actor recently gave an interview with British Vogue in which he finally acknowledged that he’s dating Swift.
But if you were hoping for a slew of details about the ups and downs of life with Taylor, you may be sorely disappointed.
Alas, it seems Alwyn is just as keen as Swift on the idea of keeping their romance on the DL:
“I’m aware people want to know about that side of things,” Joe said when asked about Taylor.
“I think we have been successfully very private and that has now sunk in for people … but I really prefer to talk about work.”
Joe’s cryptic comments seem to confirm a longstanding rumor about the couple — namely, that he doesn’t want his private life to distract from his career.
Though he’s certainly not as a big a name as Taylor, Joe has been receiving a lot of attention for his film work in recent months.
While dating Taylor doesn’t seem to have harmed any of her ex’s careers, it makes sense that Joe would prefer to focus attention on his work and not his love life.
As for Taylor, she has ample reason to keep this relationship as private as possible.
After all, the opposite approach has backfired on her on numerous occasions.
So for now, Taylor and Joe are both attempting to keep this thing as quiet as possible.
That said, if they break up, you can be sure Taylor will be quick to deliver a few dozen scathing breakup ballads.

Paola Mayfield FINALLY Answers Those Plastic Surgery Questions!
90 Day Fiance fans are still rejoicing at the news that Paola Mayfield and Russ Mayfield are expecting their first child. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t still have questions on other topics.
Paola is a fitness model, and a lot of people want to know about what work she’s had done on her face and body.
Now, Pao is addressing those plastic surgery questions that fans have been asking — and she’s answering all of them.
Paola shared a new glimpse at her ever-growing baby bump and answered some questions in the captions.
“Hi loves,” Pao’s post begins. “Some people have asked me if I have done something to my face.”
That’s a rude question, right?
Paola says that they keep asking “since I look so different since I got to the USA.”
“And,” Paola replies honestly. “The answer is yes and no.”
Like so many answers, hers is a little complicated.
Paola then begins her list of areas where she has and has not had work done.
“Lips?” she writes. “I fixed only one side of my upper lip that was uneven.”
Hey, all of our meatsuits are purely luck-of-the-draw. There’s no shame in getting yours touched up.
Paola then explains: “My lips look big or small depending on how hydrated I am!”
“So,” she continues. “I need to drink a lot of water for them to look juicy.”
That’s a free beauty tip right there.
“Botox?” Paola continues. “Nope, and I’m really scared of getting into that world.”
Botox of course uses a potentially deadly toxic to change a person’s looks. Many people worry about the long-term effects that it could have, particularly upon the liver.
“If I want it to look younger or to change the shape of my face I will do it,” Paola promises. “But for now I’m good with this face.”
(She should be!)
“I think I have accomplished so much with this face,” Pao writes. “That I’m keeping it!”
“I’m not against it,” she says, referring to changing one’s face. “And probably one day I will try it and I will definitely make a Vlog about it!”
Now Paola gets to the good stuff.
“My Boobs?” Pao says. “I did my boobs way before I came to the USA.”
She then goes on to share that she’s kind of regretting that now.
“And,” she continues. “I regret it as I have big boobs before and now that I’m pregnant my genetics are popping out more.”
“My Butt?” Paola writes. “That is one 100% hard work, dedication, and genetics!”
Good for her for reminding her fans that a huge part of anyone’s looks, including body shape, is always going to be genetics.
In addition to clarifying where she has and has not received a little medical assistance in her looks, she also addresses what technological resources she has or has not used to make her photos even better.
“Face-tune or photoshop?” she writes. “Nope.”
Paola credits any changes to her face to “the magic of makeup and contouring.”
She is absolutely right — it does seem like magic. And to people who don’t understand how makeup and contouring work, it can seem like the person’s face is totally transformed. It really is an art form.
Paola wishes her fans and followers well, signing off by writing: “Have a wonderful and beautiful day!”
