Drake Gushes About Love for 1-Year-Old Son, Adonis
Drake took a break from his creepy AF friendship with Millie Bobby Brown to talk about a different child.
This time, he’s talking about his previously secret son, 1-year-old Adonis.
And Drake is gushing over his baby boy.
Drake fathered Adonis with former adult film star and current French artist Sophie Brussaux.
Speaking ot LeBron James on LeBron’s new HBO series, The Shop, Drake could not hold back his paternal affection.
“[He has] crazy blue eyes,” Drake gushed, adding: “Baby blue eyes.”
They’re called baby blue for a reason — a lot of babies have blue or gray eyes as infants and then develop other colors as the age.
“He’s already in the pool shooting the basketball,” Drake brags.
Once he starts on the subject of his son, he can’t hold back, saying: “I’m just excited.”
We could roast Drake for the layers of hubris required to have a son named “Adonis.”
But honestly, what he has to say is just really heartwarming.
Drake admits that he has been drawing upon “all of the things I’ve learned from and through my father” about being a good parent.
“And,” Drake adds, he credits: “the incredible things I’ve learned through my mother.”
He says that they have taught him so much “about patience, about unconditional love.”
A 1-year-old requires a great deal of patience.
It was not until June of this year that Drake confirmed that he had a secret son.
He revealed this information on his album, Scorpion.
Though he was thrilled to ultimately learn that he had a son, Sophie first had to get attorneys and prove paternity.
“I am a single father learning to communicate with a woman who,” Drake says, rephrasing to: “We’ve had our moments.”
“I do want to be able to explain to my son what happened,” Drake admits.
Drake wants to be honest, he says, “But I don’t have any desire for him to not love his mother.”
In fact, Drake says: “I don’t ever want the world to be angry at his mother.”
“We have found ourselves in a situation and we are both equally responsible.” Drake explains.
That is, generally speaking, how sexual reproduction works!
“Now,” he says. “I’m just really excited to be a great father.”
“No matter what happens,” Drake affirms. “I have unconditional love for the mother of my child”
He says that he feels that way “because I want him to love his mother and I have to project that energy.”
“I didn’t come from that [peace],” Drake admits.
“I came from my mother being like, ‘Your dad is this."”
“My dad would never speak ill of my mother — ever, ever, ever,” Drake says. “My mother is the nicest, kindest, sweetest woman.”
“But,” he adds. “She’s a woman scorned and a woman who is exhausted.”
“I was really hard on my parents for giving me sort of a childhood that I had to wrap my mind around as I grew,” Drake says. That’s totally fair.
“Multiple times,” he says. “I sort of suggested that they could have done a better job at co-parenting, sticking together, not being so divided.”
There is such a thing as too much unity between parents, but Drake’s not suggesting that, either.
Drake even went into how difficult it was to break the news to his parents that he was becoming a father.
“I think I was more scared to tell my mom,” Drake admits.
“Because,” he explains. “My mom has had real relationships with women in my life over the course of my years that I’m sure she would expect or be elated if I were to have gotten one of those women pregnant.”
Instead, he had a child with a woman with whom he was not in a relationship.
Drake concludes: “It was tough for me to tell her that it was somebody that she never met.”

Chris Lopez Gushes About Kailyn Lowry, Her Skills as a Mother
In the months before baby Lux was born, things had seemed to fall apart between Kailyn Lowry and her newest baby daddy, Chris Lopez.
Now, however, Kailyn and Chris are spending time together with their son. They’ve come a lon way from Chris burning Kail’s book.
In fact, Chris is taking to social media to gush about Kailyn’s parenting skills. Take a look:
Chris Lopez shared a sweet photo of baby Lux toddling across the grass, and had a lot to say about Kail.
“Sitting back,” Chris writes. “I got a lot of respect for his mother.”
That is such a welcome change to their co-parenting dynamic!
He says that he is impressed by how she manages “raising not only my son but her other boys as well.”
“I don’t know how she does it,” he admits. “Lol.”
Chris continued, confessing that people who see children in photos and videos on social media are not getting the whole story.
“Bruh this lil’ man is a handful,” Chris admits.
“He not as sweet and innocent as y’all think,” he claims.
To be clear, Lux is definitely innocent. But babies and toddlers are still developing, which means that their emotions are out of control and their impulse control is almost non-existant.
“If anybody think parenting is easy is trippin,” Chris adds.
Chris affirms that he is not planning on fathering any additional children.
“No more for me,” Chris vows.
Chris then jokes: “He my birth control.”
Just to be clear, actual birth control is a pretty effective tool, also. Perhaps thoughts of Lux will prompt him to “bundle up’ during future dalliances.
(And, not for nothing, but vasectomies are reversible and have relatively short recovery times)
It’s wonderful to see that Chris Lopez and Kailyn Lowry are getting along well enough to co-parent.
In fact, based upon her social media activity, fans suspect that she’s banging Chris Lopez again.
(She teased fans with the implication that they’re banging again, while Chris, who is more privacy-oriented, was dismissive of the rumor)
But whether or not they’re flicking the light switch or whichever ridiculous euphemism for sex you prefer, even getting along as friends who share a son is a huge improvement.
We all remember how bad things were last year. …
Chris burned Kailyn’s book in an alarming display of anger on social media, claiming that she was keeping Lux from him.
She accused him of effectively ghosting her during her pregnancy and then being a deadbeat dad after Lux was born.
Oh, and she accused him of cheating on her. Overall, it did not paint a pretty picture and it didn’t seem like the two were ever going to make up.
This would have been sad for baby Lux. Having two parents whose relationship is deeply toxic is absolutely worse than having one parent. Children need stability and love.
We’re glad that they’re managing to get along and we hope that it lasts.
It’s also nice to see Chris posting very realistically about parenting. Kailyn recently bashed Kylie for making young motherhood look easy. Being a good parent, at any age, is the hardest job in the world.

Anna Duggar Gushes Over Josh, Makes Internet Barf
Poor, Anna Duggar.
Correction: poor, poor, POOR Anna Duggar.
The mother of five remains married to her husband despite Josh Duggar having been involved in two of the more disgusting scandals we can recall.
We can"t imagine she has any kind of support system around her — and we can imagine that her in-laws have all laid on extreme guilt trips about her leaving her gross husband and trying to start over without his terrible influence.
This is relevant once again because Anna made a surprising return to Instagram in early July of 2018, actually writing nice things about Josh in honor of a milestone for the couple.
Get out that barf bag and scroll down to find out what she said…
1. Yes, Anna Duggar is on Instagram
But she rarely posts messages or photos. The last time she shared a picture of Josh Duggar was on March 1, 2017. It was the picture above and she wrote as a caption: “Happy Birthday Josh! I’m so thankful for the 30 years of life God has given you – I love you!”
2. The Last Time Anna Posted Anything at All?
You need to go back to May 1, 2018. She asked if anyone would be watching the film “Love Arrows” and included with this question the quote above.
3. So, Why Did She Return on July 5?
Because “June was an exciting month for our family,” Anna wrote as a caption to multiple photos, explaining why as follows: “Marcus, Michael and I are are officially a year older + Josh and I celebrated our 10 year engagement anniversary!” It was this last statement that got the attention of fans, especially when you consider how she followed it up.
4. She Followed It Up with This Photo
And also with this conclusion to her caption: “The past 10 years have been a wonderful adventure. So thankful for God’s redeeming grace and His blessings to us along the way, especially our 5 M’s!”
5. A Wonderful Adventure, Huh?
That’s one way to look at it. Fans had a mixture of responses to this description, from those who thought Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have pressured Anna to remain married… to those who thought it was no one’s business… to those who believe Josh had been redeemed.
6. Wait… Redeemed for What?!?
In case you aren’t aware, let us refresh your memory here: Josh admitted in May of 2015 that he molested two of his sisters and five girls overall. It was also revealed that his parents were aware of these actions, yet did not go to the authorities.

Josiah Duggar Gushes About Lauren Swanson On Her 21st Birthday!
It’s been two months since Josiah Duggar got engaged to Lauren Swanson, and while there’s been no public talk of wedding specifics, Josiah and Lauren would like the world to know that they’re still very much in love.
Lauren turned 21 over the weekend, and Josiah made it clear that he’s more in love with her than ever in a heartfelt Instagram post.
“There are not enough words to express what you mean to me and how much I love you!” Josiah wrote alongside the photo above.
“You are the best gift God has given to me. Happy Birthday, Lauren!” he added.
“I will love and cherish you all the days of your life. -Your man, Si.”
Needless to say, fans loved Josiah’s kind words.
Josiah and Lauren are currently keeping a tight lid on their wedding plans, but fans expect them to tie the knot sooner rather than later.
After all, these two have been moving very quickly since day one of their relationship.
Just six weeks after the world learned that Josiah and Lauren were courting, the young couple revealed that they had gotten engaged.
The Duggars were just as effusive in their praise for Swanson when they announced the engagement on Facebook:
“We are so excited to announce that Josiah and Lauren are officially engaged!” they wrote.
“We have known Lauren and her family for a very long time and have seen how she has grown in her knowledge and understanding of the Lord,” the statement continued.
“She is a wonderful, caring, compassionate young lady, full of zeal for Christ. We are very thankful for her.”
The Duggars went on to state that Josiah and Lauren are eager to tie the knot:
‘We are looking forward to another Duggar wedding soon!”
Josiah’s in an unprecedented position, as he’s the first Duggar of his generation to engage in multiple courtships.
The vast majority of romantic relationships result in marriage in the Duggars’ community, so Josiah no doubt found it difficult to find someone to confide in after his breakup.
Fans were stunned when the 21-year-old abruptly ended his courtship with Marjorie Jackson back in 2015.
The couple never made a formal announcement.
Instead, Duggar watchers arrived at the conclusion that they had broken up based on the fact that Josiah removed every photo of Marjorie from his Instagram page.
It was an unexpected move, but those who know Josiah best say he’ll likely continue to toss out his family’s traditions in favor of doing things his own way.
Like his sister Jinger, Josiah is a bit of a rebel, and a source close to the family tells us that he’ll likely “be the next one to bust out.”
Sources close to the family say there are concerns that Josiah will reject his family’s belief system once he’s married and out of the house.
We guess that’s just one more reason to look forward to the next Duggar wedding!

Amy Roloff Gushes Over "Wonderful" Chris Marek, Sticks It to Haters
Note to all Chris Marek trolls:
Go ahead and slam the reality star all you want.
Call him insincere and homosexual and whatever else you’d like.
Just don’t think for one second that your misguided insults and labels are causing Amy Roloff to miss a single wink of sleep.
As we’ve documented several times over the past few months, many Little People, Big World fans out there appear to have a problem with Marek.
And we really have no idea why.
The real estate agent has been dating Roloff for over a year now and has shown no signs of being anything but loyal and good to her.
No, Marek is not using Roloff for her money, as some haters have insinuated, nor does he simply suck as a person, as others have basically come out and stated online.
Marek makes Amy happy. Full stop.
Thankfully, this is all Roloff is focused on these days, as she just shared an especially sweet photo of herself and her boyfriend (above) and wrote the following caption along with it:
This guy is wonderful!
Thanks for being awesome fans and your support and encouragement here on my FB and IG. Keep smiling – you may help someone else want to smile too!
#tlc #lpbw #amyssecondactcontinues #secondchance #lovesurprises #godisgoodallthetime #allaboutfamily #lovemykids #agoodguy #lotsoflove.
On this past episode of Little People, Big World, viewers had a chance to witness Marek truly caring for Amy.
Not only did he organize a surprise party for his lovely lady friend… he even conferred with her ex-husband, Matt Roloff, for advice on how to hide the cars of his guests in order to keep them inconspicuous.
“I don’t know him real well and it’s awkward – especially knowing Amy is a little dicey with him and I talking. But hey, he is reaching out to me, so we are going to run with it,” Matt said of Marek’s request.
But that’s sort of our whole point.
Marek knew it would be awkward, but he still talked with Matt because he wanted to make sure his party for Amy went as smoothly as possible.
He thought of her before all else.
“Chris is very respectful,” Matt later told the camera on this episode, adding:
“I think Chris is good for Amy. If Chris wasn’t in Amy’s life, Amy would be thrashing around and I’d be on that receiving end of that thrashing. I was for 30 years!
“He’s keeping her calm and relaxed, she’s not all angry.”
Yikes. Talk about a backhanded compliment, huh?
Or not even a compliment. Matt basically just insulted the mother of his four kids, while at least praising Marek a little bit we guess.
What’s crazy, however, is that fans are STILL giving Marek a hard time.
The guy goes out of his way to create a special occasion for his girlfriend and some viewers still drag him on Twitter.
“Why does Chris look so uncomfortable with Amy?” asked one viewer this week out of nowhere, while another added:
“I cannot watch Amy and Chris! Something just isn’t right about that guy or their relationship. Amy is definitely into him more than he is into her.”
SIGH. Will these types of comments ever end?
Whatever, though, we suppose.
If Amy isn’t going to let these trolls bother her, then we won’t them bother us, either.
We’ll just continue to send the reality star our best wishes and to wonder when Marek will propose.
We want to see these two walk down the aisle! Wouldn’t that be terrific?!?

Sommer Ray Gushes About Sophodes Clothing Line, Tantalizes in Hottest Photos Ever
Sommer Ray is a gorgeous model whose careful fitness routine and body sculpting has given her a dynamite figure.
This Denver resident was born in 1996 and has achieved early success as a model, and her jaw-dropping photos explain exactly why that is.
Her older sister is a social media star and her parents were both bodybuilders. The apple — or, as you"ll see from her pics, the peach — doesn"t fall far from the tree.
Sommer loves a grungy, "80s vibe and she also enjoys comfortable clothing, and she sings the praises of the Sophodes clothing line by Sophia Hodes.
To date, Sommer has over 18 million followers on Instagram … and that number continues to grow.
When you look at these tantalizing photos, you"ll see exactly why she"s so irresistible — and why her nascent career is destined for even greater heights.
1. Meet Sommer Ray
While there are many more examples to come of Sommer Ray’s modeling, check out her gorgeous face. She’s a fan of comfy yet stylish shirts, and this Sophodes top is exactly what she likes.
2. Sommer loves clothing that makes a statement
Before Sommer was modeling for the Sophodes line, she and designer Sophia Hodes were friend. “I see her vision and I think she’s so creative,” Sommer says. “I want to see her win”
3. She’s selective about which brands she’ll model
“I feel like the clothes match my style and my 80’s vibe, which I love. I stand behind Sophodes because I will wear these clothes all the time,” Sommer Ray says. “Plus, it’s not a trend, it’s a statement, it’s a lifestyle.”
4. Check out this behind-the-scenes glimpse of her modeling work
Sommer says that she wears Sophodes off-camera because it feels right for her. “The brand makes you feel so creative to yourself, it’s unique to you, special for you.”
5. Not all fashion is glamour, and that’s a good thing
Sommer Ray says that she likes fashion that fosters independence. “My goal is to inspire/empower women and girls out there to feel secure in themselves.” This Sophodes attire creates a unique and powerful look.
6. More than anything, Sommer wants to see people be themselves
The stunning Sophodes model says: “We live in a world where everyone wants to be like everyone else, but you don’t have to. Just be yourself.”

Isabel Rock Gushes About Jacob Roloff, Reveals Wedding Details
While on their romantic trip to Iceland a few months ago, Jacob Roloff and Isabel Rock became engaged.
It’s wonderful and happy news for the one-time black sheep of the Roloff family. And for his bride-to-be.
Isabel is clearly over the moon, and can’t help gushing about Jacob … in fact, she’s revealed the venue for their wedding.
Beside this beautiful photo of the couple, Isabel gushed in her captions about Jacob Roloff.
“I love this guy. I’m so proud of him.”
And she went on to brag about his work.
“He’s currently finishing up his second book in less than a year. What?! Who does that.”
People with time on their hands and inspiration do that, mostly.
Fans don’t know every detail of Jacob’s life, but his parents are very wealthy, and it’s wonderful that they can apparently afford him the opportunity to pursue his passions.
Isabel continues to brag about her fiance.
“Self published, too.”
Self-publishing takes more work and often gets less money, but it gives authors more personal control.
Isabel then moved on beyond Jacob’s professional and artistic accomplishments to talk about what he means to her.
“He continuously inspires and encourages me.”
She, of course, is an artist — she paints.
“His energy is calming and he is so sure of himself that he leaves others feeling comforted.”
That sounds so wonderful!
“I was lucky enough to not only meet him, but be his lady for three years and now his fiancee.”
She follows that line with a yellow heart emoji.
We’d point out that being Jacob’s “lady” for three years may have what got Isabel shaded by Audrey Roloff right after the announcement. She’s, um, not a fan of pre-marital funtimes.
Isabel says that she’s still growing accustomed to the idea that Jacob is not just her friend and not just her boyfriend, but also her fiance and future husband.
“Still so not used to that, but I adore that this is now our reality.”
And this is when, again referring to the photo that we shared at the top of the cute couple standing on the grass, that she reveals their intended wedding venue.
“Cannot wait to marry you right here in this spot one day, handsome.”
To be clear, it’s possible that she means that they’ll marry on Roloff Farms property, but … she may literally mean the ground on which they were standing at that moment.
Things weren’t always so close between Jacob and his family.
Jacob stormed off of Roloff farms when he was 18, decrying Little People, Big World for being “fake” and “scripted.”
Reality shows pretty much all come with outlines and storylines. Some shows have more or less guidance than others before cameras start rolling.
A larger issue for Jacob had been ideological conflicts with his family and the feeling that he’d had very few choices growing up.
In 2017, however, Jacob began reconnecting with his family in the months leading up to his 21st birthday.
And, of course, in the months leading up to his proposal to Isabel Rock.
The Roloffs are embracing Jacob and his fiancee. They’ve smothered her with love on her birthday (she’s a year older than Jacob).
Even before the proposal, fans saw Amy Roloff promoting Isabel’s art showings.
Isabel says that what first drove her to paint was a desire to heal. That’s such a healthy creative outlet.
2017 was full of good news for the Roloffs. They reunited with Jacob, welcomed a future in-law, and embraced two beautiful Roloff grandbabies.
Soon, we’ll get to see more of their adventures, because TLC has announced the Little People, Big World return date.

Millie Bobby Brown Gushes Watching Boyfriend Jacob Sartorius from Backstage
Millie Bobby Brown became the definition of “young love” while watching her pop star BF from backstage — and after watching this … you’ll be saying AWWWWW. TMZ obtained video of singer Jacob Sartorius’ Wednesday night concert in Atlanta, where…

Josah Duggar GUSHES About Lauren Swanson!
It’s been barely over a week since Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson confirmed that they’re courting.
Though this is not Josiah’s first courtship — which is practically scandalous for the Duggars — the couple already seems to be over the moon about each other.
In fact, Josiah seemingly can’t stop gushing about Lauren. Which is very sweet … though some fans wonder if it’s an act.
Josiah Duggar is in a courtship with Lauren Swanson, a longtime friend of the Duggar family who is the oldest of eight children.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are eager for all of their offspring to start churning out fundamentalist babies — who, like their parents, are supposed to be nearly-mindless clones of Jim Bob Duggar in terms of beliefs and lifestyle.
But they only want their children making babies … or having sex … or kissing … or “front-hugging” (hugging like a normal person) … or even spending one-on-one time with each other under the auspices of marriage.
That’s what courtship means to the Duggars. It’s not just a whimsical word for dating, it’s a path to marriage.
For the Duggars, it’s a means of ensuring that they can control every facet of their children’s lives until they’re married off to someone whom Jim Bob and Michelle hope will keep them “honest.”
But though that might sound like the Torment of Tantalus to most of us, Josiah appears to be loving every minute of it. Just look at these photos he shared from the family’s trip to New Zealand.
In addition to the cozy photos, of what we imagine was a long walk on a New Zealand beach, Josiah used the captions to shower Lauren with affection.
“I’m really enjoying the beauty in New Zealand.”
And then a heart-eyes emoji.
“Oh, and the landscape is pretty nice too I guess.”
That line is followed by a winky-face emoji.
Finally, Josiah tags the post “#mygirl #lauren.”
When most people envision long walks on the beach, they don’t really picture a chaperone along to make sure that they obey courtship rules that would have seemed shocking even during the Middle Ages.
The family may be keeping an extra close eye on Josiah, in part because apparently Josiah and Lauren have been caught breaking courtship rules.
Holding hands (the devil’s grabbers!). Hugging from the front (the devil’s embrace!). Even kissing (the devil’s … kiss? I don’t know).
Of course, what’s characterized as a hug could simply be Josiah helping Lauren up and down or keeping her from falling.
But for two touch-starved people living in a cult that denies them their basic humanity? Touching each other’s arms while facing each other is like, third base.
Of course, while we’re happy for Josiah at the idea that he might attain some freedom from his parents’ controlling clutches, we should acknowledge that some fans worry that this is all a front.
See, Josiah has been followed by gay rumors for a while, and they’ve naturally resurfaced following the news that he and Lauren are courting.
The gay rumors started when Josiah ended his last courtship — for the Duggars, that’s tantamount to divorce. (Which, for the Duggars, would also be shocking)
Right after the breakup (is it still called a breakup if they weren’t doing what anyone would consider “dating?” Right after the split), Josiah was shipped off to one of the IBLF’s “training programs.”
Plenty of Duggars go through training (we’ve spoken about the Duggar family church in detail and what ex-members have to say), but the Duggars are known for shipping their kids off to scary cult programs if they show the slightest hint of, you know, being a sexual being.
Some fans wonder if he was caught in what might be considered a gay situation.
Even if the breakup was Duggar-ordered, though, it may be that Josiah was doing something else.
If he were caught masturbating, his parents might have decided that their son wasn’t ready for marriage or courtship (too overstimulating, tempting him to sin, etc) and shipped him off for more cultish lessons.
Now, with 19 kids, plenty of fans figure that at least a couple of the Duggar children have to be gay or bi.
Maybe so (and we wouldn’t wish a Duggar childhood on anyone, least of all an LGBT child), but jumping to conclusions because one guy ended a courtship and sometimes wears pastels is a bit of a stretch.
Just because he’s gushing about Lauren doesn’t mean that he’s trying to cover up his true feelings.

Tori Roloff Gushes Over Precious Baby Jackson Roloff!
While we all wait with bated breath for TLC to announce when Little People, Big World is coming back, we don’t have to wait for news of the Roloffs. Because social media exists.
And Tori Roloff is making use of it to tell us exactly how much she loves her precious baby, Jackson Roloff.
Or, as the family has taken to calling him: Baby J.
Awwww!
If you’re finding yourself overwhelmed by Jackson’s cuteness, you’re not alone.
Not even Jackson’s own mother is immune.
In fact, if anything, Tori Roloff is
“I have such FOMO when it comes to this kid.”
Before you start googling things or, worse, trying to come up with your own guesses for that achronym, it means: fear of missing out.
“I am so obsessed with every move he makes.”
That’s human instinct in a nutshell, right there.
(Tori Roloff’s post continues, but first, let’s remember exactly how inescapably adorable Jackson Roloff is)
He’s. So. Cute.
Tori can only begin to list his most precious attributes:
“His little fingers. His coos. And I can’t even with his gummy two tooth smile.”
We can’t even, either.
“He literally breaks my heart (in a good way) every time he moves.”
That’s, again, human instinct. Your whole system gets flooded with oxytocin. (This doesn’t just happen with babies; making your favorite person laugh or looking at videos of puppies can do the same thing)
“I love being this kids mom.”
A lot of parents like to gripe about their kids (totally unfair), so it’s so nice to hear this from Tori.
“God has blessed me in such a way. He’s made me realize things don’t matter — people do.”
Different people have different views of materialism, but we can probably all agree that your children should come first.
Tori ends the beautiful note by reiterating her affection for her infant son, and referring to him by his nickname.
“Love you so much baby j.”
That’s followed by a cyan heart emoji and the tag: “#babyjroloff”
We like the name Jackson, but you know what? “Baby J” is sweet and has the same number of syllables as Ember Jean.
That’s probably not why they came up with the nickname — those tend to crop up organically — but it’s a cute little coincidence.
Jackson is adorable and, now that Jackson’s over 6 months old, it might not be long before he’s talking. Like, for-real talking.
(Different babies develop at different rates — some don’t talk until they’re over a year old, and that’s okay!)
For now, though, his parents and the rest of the Roloff clan can just enjoy how precious and sweet he is.
Baby J doesn’t need words to show them how much he loves them.
Ember Jean recently passed a couple of “milestones,” herself.
Not, like, developmental milestones — she’s still only a few months old.
But she went to “help” pick out a Christmas tree. And she had her first trip to the beach!
Right now, the developmental gap between Ember Jean and Baby J might as well be the grand canyon — just a few months, at their age, make a world of difference.
But, in just a few years, their age difference will seem almost meaningless. These two precious cousins will get to grow up, side-by-side.
We can’t wait to watch them every step of the way!

Pattie Mallette: Mom of Justin Bieber Gushes Over Selena Gomez!
You don’t have to understand why Selena Gomez took Justin Bieber back. That’s her life and her business. Even if the news of their rekindled nonsense fills some of you with dread.
But you know who really, really loves that Jelena is a thing again?
Justin Bieber’s mom.
It seems like it wasn’t all that long ago that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were just two favorite strangers.
Back in early 2010, we fondly remember when Selena gave an interview about being scheduled to appear on stage beside Justin Bieber.
She mentioned at the time that she’d been asked by someone to not wear heels, but was going to wear heels anyway, and suggested that Justin Bieber should just accept that he’s short.
(For the record, Justin Bieber is currently 5-foot-9 but was almost certainly shorter at the time. Either way, he’s under six feet and therefore short)
The next thing that we knew, though, Selena and Bieber were dating. And, though the couple had their ups and downs, Jelena endured for years.
(You know, the first moment that I, personally, realized that I might actually like Taylor Swift a lot if I knew more about her, was when I saw a gif of her making a face of disgust when she watched her bestie Selena kiss Bieber, her then-boyfriend)
And then Selena and Justin broke up “for good.” It probably had something to with Selena’s failing health. It probably had something to do with Justin’s chronic bad behavior and alleged substance abuse issues.
But, after a sequence of events, Selena and Justin started riding bikes together and, well, doing other things together. Old habits die hard.
So, Justin and Selena are back together.
And it sounds like Mama Biebs herself, Pattie Mallette, is over the moon about it.
At the Justice Speaks Holiday Benefit Luncheon, Pattie spoke to People about her son’s rekindled romance.
“I don’t know so much about their personal relationship because he doesn’t share a whole lot, but I love her.”
Well, yeah. Most sons don’t really tell their mothers everything about their relationships.
“I support anything [he does], if he loves her I love her.”
It’s good to hear about parents being ride-or-die for their children’s choices. Some parents try to pressure their kids to get back with an ex, but it sounds like Pattie is letting Justin decide the direction of his own life.
But she definitely has her own thoughts on Selena:
“And I’ve met her and we have a special bond so I think she’s precious.”
Selena is precious. A national treasure, even.
But we get the feeling that even if Pattie knew the intimate details of Jelena 2.0 (though, honestly, what mother would want to?), she wouldn’t be divulging them.
“I can’t really speak on their relationship, that’s between them.”
Pattie didn’t mind talking about her son himself, though.
“I think he’s just keeping his focus on God, and really trying to figure out what counts and what matters.”
Well, Justin Bieber keeps choosing church over music, so that much is clear.
He’s attending a church with a sort of weird reputation, but Pattie’s been known to post “end times” stuff on Instagram, so maybe Hillsong Church is exactly what she wants for her son right now.
“I think he’s trying to be somehow normal in such an abnormal world, trying to find that balance.”
She could mean almost anything by that, but … sure.
“I feel like he’s growing up and I’m really proud of him.”
Well, we certainly hope that the days of Justin Bieber almost killing himself with alleged substance abuse are behind him.
“I think anyone with real love in their life is more grounded.”
Sure! There are lots of kinds of love, and she could be speaking of the Biebs’ faith here or of Jelena. Or of her love for her son, even.
“I think there’s so much confusion sometimes and facade in this Hollywood world, and so it’s important for us to find the ones that truly care and stick with them.”
Awww, it sounds like she thinks that Justin’s history of bad behavior is Hollywood’s fault. But lots of parents tell themselves that, right?
Justin apparently decided that he wanted to get back with Selena after realizing that he loved her when she almost died.
Honestly, we’ve given the Biebs a hard time (even within this post), but he really does seem to be different than he was, even a couple of years ago.
Maybe they’ll be amazing together, this time around.
We hope so, for both of their sakes.

Mackenzie Standifer Gushes About Ryan Edwards Wedding: No One Passed Out!
Earlier this week, Mackenzie Standifer and Ryan Edwards got married with dozens of their closest friend and family members
Now, you may be yelling at your computer or mobile device, “Hold up a second, THG. Ryan and Mackenzie got married back in May. It was on TV, ya dummies!”
To which we would reply, “You’re right, but there’s really no need for name-calling. Sheesh.”
The couple did tie the knot several months ago, but if you caught the Teen Mom: OG season finale in which the ceremony was featured, then you know it was a joyless affair, and everyone involved would probably prefer to forget about it.
Things got off to a rocky start when Ryan passed out while driving to his own wedding, and, well … they didn’t get much better from there.
Fortunately, Edwards checked into rehab shortly thereafter, and six months later, he’s reportedly still clean and sober.
So Ryan and Mackenzie decided to call a mulligan and give this whole “getting married” business a second shot.
Needless to say, the results were much better the second time around.
“It was amazing, it was the best day ever,” she told us exclusively.
“Everything went so smoothly. It could not have gone any better.”
Despite a dire forecast, Standifer says, it was nothing but blue skies
“It was supposed to rain, but it held off,” she explained. “It was just so beautiful.”
Most importantly, the nelwyweds’ kids from previous relationships enjoyed themselves:
“They were so cute,” Mackenzie gushed.
“Hudson, at the end of the ceremony, mopped up the floor with himself—he was rolling on the ground, just like a typical 3-year-old. And Bentley looked so handsome. He looked just like his dad.”
As further proof that all is well between Edwards and his famous ex following a succession of rough patches, Maci Bookout was in attendance, and reportedly, she was all smiles.
“[She] was there. Everything was fine,” Mackenzie said.
“We talked a little bit, and she got along with all my bridesmaids.”
So there you have it.’
In the end, love and rehab conquered all, and Ryan and Mackenzie danced into the night, both of them fully conscious.
Or so we assume.
Watch Teen Mom: OG online to relive the many trials and tribulations that brought Ryan to where he is today.

Mike Huckabee Gushes Over Daughter Sarah Huckabee Sanders Like a Kardashian
Mike Huckabee might be better at cheerleading for his kid than Kris Jenner is for hers … ‘cause he was raving about Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the job she’s doing for Trump. We got the former Arkansas gov. and two-time presidential hopeful…

Taylor Swift Releases "Gorgeous," Gushes Over Joe Alwyn
Taylor Swift has released the third single off her upcoming album and it has taken the Internet by storm and the singer’s fans by shock.
How come?
Because this isn’t a break-up anthem.
It’s actually… the opposite?!?
Apparently oh so VERY smitten with current boyfriend Joe Alwyn, Swift gushes over the British stud muffin throughout the course of this song, belting out such lyrics as:
You’re so gorgeous/I can’t say anything to your face/‘Cause look at your face/And I’m so furious/At you for making me feel this way/But what can I say?/You’re gorgeous.
Pretty straightforward, huh?
It’s worth mentioning that Alwyn has blue eyes and that Swift also cites “ocean blue eyes looking in mine, I feel like I might sink and drown and die” in the song.
“You make me so happy it turns back to sad, There’s nothing I hate more than what I can’t have,” she croons at another point.
Go ahead and listen to the single here:
Swift, a 10-time Grammy winner, has of course earned a reputation for often slamming ex-boyfriends in her music.
The most obvious example would be “Dear John,” a song very clearly about John Mayer, along with “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
But Alwyn clearly has a different kind of influence on the superstar.
He and Swift started dating in May and have actually kept their romance mostly on the Down Low, a stark change for a celebrity typically known for flaunting relationships in the media.
“Her decision to keep her relationship with Joe quiet is making her happy,” a source has told People Magazine, adding:
“They have been getting to know each other slowly without any pressure.”
And while the Internet often debates just who the subject is of various Taylor Swift songs, the answer is obvious this time around:
Swift’s upcoming sixth album, “Reputation,” hits stores on November 10.
She debuted the LP’s lead single, “Look What You Made Me Do,” in August; followed by a promotional track titled “…Ready for It?” in early September.
Neither was particularly well received by the listening public.
The video for “Look What You Made Me Do” was especially lambasted. Watch it below.
Of this new record, though, an insider tells Us Weekly that Swift isn’t messing around.
“She’s definitely coming for the Grammys,” the tabloid writes in its latest issue, adding that the disc is “her most experimental work yet in terms of sound.”
Look for her to go after Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry and Calvin Harris on different songs, a second insider tells this same magazine.
Also: look for Swift to be EVERYwhere later this fall in promotion of the album.
Are you ready for her musical comeback?!?
