Amber Rose IS taking a shot at the #MeToo movement, BUT she wants to make her feelings clear — she’s not against it … she just thinks it ain’t doing a damn thing for women of color. Amber and friends were leaving Argyle Sunday night when we…

Duggars Slammed For Forgetting Birthdays: Do They Even Know Their Kids?!
Having 19 kids presents a number of challenges.
The coupon clipping alone is enough to prematurely turn your hands into gnarled oak roots.
So fans of Duggar clan would likely be sympathetic to the occasional missed recital or forgotten birthday … if only Jim Bob and Michelle would cop to being anything less than perfect parents.
These days, the couple has the added challenge of trying to keep track of the comings and goings of an ever-growing brood of grandchildren.
Again, if they just threw up their hands and admitted that they’re less than perfect, the Duggars would probably receive a lot of sympathy from fans who have firsthand experience with their plight.
But that would mean messing with the narrative they’ve been selling for the past decade and admitting that everything they do isn’t guided by the divine hand of providence.
So what the Duggars do instead is try to cover their tracks and pretend like all of their kids are equal in their eyes, when we all know there are clear favorites.
These days, it seems that the more marketably Duggars (Jill, Jessa, Jinger, etc.) are tops in their parents eyes, while the younger siblings frequently get short shrift.
Last month, the Jim Bob and Michelle were accused of forgetting Jordyn Duggar’s birthday and attempting to make up for their memory lapse with a hastily thrown together party.
Now, the couple is being accused of repeating their mistake with son Joseph Duggar, who turned 23 earlier this week.
Joseph is expecting his first child these days, and with the amount of importance Jim Bob and Michelle place on breeding, you would think that would put him in their good graces.
But it seems his big day slipped their minds, and instead of calling, the couple sent their son a belated birthday message featuring what they describe as a Jay Leno look-alike:
The Duggars were duly roasted for their lame message, with many fans pointing out that they Joseph’s birthday obviously slipped their minds”
“You always give such generic wishes, like you don’t really know your kids,” one fan wrote. “Oh wait…”
“In all seriousness, it really shouldn’t be a surprise that birthdays are all so canned and repetitious,” another commented.
“They celebrate one once every two to three weeks basically. Like, of course, they all will meld together if you let them, and why wouldn’t 19 individuals do the same thing in your mind. Again, just proof that parents can’t be spread between 19 kids and have a relationship with each one on a deep and personal level.”
“One of the oddest birthday messages ever,” others chimed in.
“Whose birthday was it anyway? All they did was brag about their vacation and the weather and meeting a Jay Leno look alike.”
We’re surprised by a lot of things here.
For starters, the Duggars know who Jay Leno is?
We thought they condemned all forms of worldly entertainment.
Jay must get a pass because he loves denim and cars.
And c’mon, this guy doesn’t even look that much like Leno.
If you hired him for a party you’d want your money back, but then again, if you’re the type of person who hires a Leno look-alike for your party, maybe you deserve to get ripped off.
What were we supposed to be ouraged about again?
Oh, right … the forgotten birthday. For shame!

Farrah Abraham Admits to Forgetting Daughter Sophia In a Store
Usually, when we report on bad parenting from Farrah Abraham, it means something truly appalling and inappropriate took place involving her 8-year-old daughter Sophia.
Like the time Farrah talked about Sophia’s future sex tape.
Or the time Farrah allowed Sophia to have a Snapchat account, and she predictably wound up chatting with strangers late at night.
Sadly, we could go on with a list of such incidents, but we think you get the idea.
So it’s almost a relief to share a story of less-than-stellar parenting that other moms might actually be able to relate to.
It’s not the kind of thing we would encourage anyone to try, but it is the sort of thing that could be classified as an innocent mistake … as opposed to whatever the hell talking about your grade school-aged daughter’s porn career would be called.
Anyway, the story comes from Farrah herself, who shared it while she was shilling some memory supplement on her Instagram page.
“Ladies (and men) Ever returned to your car and realized you’ve left your child in the store! Omg, this happened once, but since starting @focus.factor Extra Strength there’s no way that will happen!” Farrah captioned the photo below.
Yes, it seems she once left Sophia in a store.
Not surprisingly, the comments on the photo were amusingly brutal.
“You’re telling the entire world that you NEED some bs pills to REMEMBER YOU HAVE YOUR DAUGHTER WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO OUT TO A STORE?” wrote one follower, adding:
“Wow. don’t have anymore children please until you become an actual responsible adult.”
Others simply threw Farrah’s own words back at her, reminding the reality star-turned-porn star that she once encouraged her co-stars to learn from her parenting example.
Most of the critics had the right idea and didn’t attack Farrah for briefly forgetting her daughter (these things happen), but rather for sharing the story as a means of trying to sell her followers on the virtues of some BS nootropic.
To be fair, we really know nothing about the product she’s hawking, but we generally don’t take medical advice from people who document their vaginal rejuvenation procedures on social media.
Also, gotta love the generous amount of cleavage worked into that shot.
Say what you will about Farrah, the woman understands marketing.
