Hollywood seems torn about who they’ll be rooting for this Super Bowl Sunday … literally, this thing’s split right down the middle. We got a handful of celebs and athletes this weekend and asked them the same thing that’s on…

Duggar Family 2018 Predictions: A Baby For Jinger & So Much More!
Well, a new year is upon us, which means new goals, new opportunities and–if you"re a member of the Duggar family–lots of new marriages and babies.
Yes, not a year goes by that the Counting On clan doesn"t get a little larger, and this year, they"re off to a hell of a start.
Just today we learned that Jinger Duggar is pregnant with her first child, and she won"t be the only member of the extended Duggar fam to bring a little one into the world in 2018.
Jump in for a full rundown of what you can expect in the months to come from reality TV"s most controversial family:
1. A Baby For Jinger!
By Duggar standards, it’s been a long wait! Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo were married for well over a year before they announced that she’s expecting. No word yet on when the bundle of joy is due, but Jinger won’t be alone in shopping for maternity clothes…
2. A Bundle of Joy For Joy
Joy-Anna Duggar is expecting her first child VERY soon. She hasn’t revealed an exact due date, but some fans believe Joy will deliver before the end of January.
3. Kendra and Joe’s Become Mom and Dad
Yes, Joseph Duggar and wife Kendra Caldwell also have a little one on the way. And believe it or not, the list of Duggars who may be expanding their families in 2018 still isn’t done.
4. A Third Baby For Jill?
Some folks believe Jill Duggar will be making a pregnancy announcement any day now. it would be the third child for Jill and husband Derick Dillard.
5. A Courtship For Jana?
It’s widely believed that after years of searching for Mr. Right, Jana Duggar is involved in a courtship with Caleb Williams. Fans are hoping she’ll make a big announcement sometime in the next few weeks.
6. And What About John David?
You heard it here first! Our Duggar insider says John-David is involved in a low-key courtship with a woman who lives in Texas. (Fortunately, JD owns his own single-engine plane for easy traveling.) Will he announce his romance in 2018? Only time will tell! And of course, that would be far from the biggest surprise the Duggars have in store this year…

2017 Oscar Predictions: Will La La Land Set a Record?
La La Land is one of the most successful movies of the year.
It"s evident that it"s going to be a force to be reckoned with at the 2017 Academy Awards.
But will it win EVERYthing? Scroll down for our predictions.
1. Best Picture: La La Land
La La Land has been critically and commercially successful since it was released and for good reason. It has already racked up a string of awards and nominations. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone have this one in the can.
2. Best Director: La La Land
Damien Chazelle is up against some stiff competition in this category, but there’s no denying that La La Land was a visual masterpiece. He should have no trouble eking out the win.
3. Best Actor: Casey Affleck
The only real competition in this category is between Casey Affleck and Denzel Washington. With Casey’s continued praise, he seems poised to take the win.
4. Best Actress: Emma Stone
Emma turned in a riveting performance in La La Land. In fact, she turns in a perfect performance whichever movie she appears in. Trust us, this one is as slam dunk as they come.
5. Best Supporting Actor: Dev Patel
Patel has come a long way since his days of playing an angsty teen on Skins. He should win this award for his performance in Lion.
6. Best Supporting Actress: Viola Davis
Viola is an awards darling who continues to move from a successful movie to another. Her career has been great and her performance in Fences shows that she is showing no signs of slowing down.

9 Psychic Predictions For 2017: Brad Pitt Rebounds With WHO?!
In case you somehow missed the approximately 20 bajillion jokes on social media, 2016 was a rough year.
We lost far too many beloved entertainers; famous celebrity couples dropped like flies, and the American people decided to give the nuke codes to a Flamin" Hot Cheeto with a rage-tweeting problem.
Anyway, 2017 has gotta be better, right?
Well, maybe not according to the world"s leading psychics.
Here"s what the best-known crystal ball-gazers have to say about the year to come:
1. R.I.P. Queen Elizabeth II, Long Live King Charles!
The psychic community believes the Queen will pass on and leave the throne to her eldest son. A fairly safe bet, considering she’ll turn 91 next year.
2. Oprah Goes Blonde
One in demand palm-reader tells Page Six that Oprah will pull a Kanye and go blonde. Now THERE’S a specific prediction!
3. Trump Gets Impeached
Several of the world’s top psychics made this guess. Of course, they may be confusing their sixth sense with wishful thinking.
4. Hillary Clinton: Not Finished Yet!
HRC may be at an age when most folks are thinking retirement, but the psychic community says she’s got at least one major goal left to achieve.
5. Jimmy Kimmel Might Want to Invest in a Hat
“A monkey who is a guest on his show will pull Jimmy’s hair out,” a psychic who goes by the name Nikki tells the Toronto Sun, “but he will be alright.” Sorry, Jimbo. The stars have spoken.
6. Pam Anderson’s Love of Animals Will Come Back to Bite Her
Nikki also predicts that Pamela Anderson will be bitten by some sort of wild animal. We’re starting to think Nikki just fantasizes about celebs being attacked by animals.

Who Will Be President? Election 2016 Polls, Predictions & Analysis Say ...
After a long and tumultuous campaign season, the question of who will be President will finally be answered in a little over 24 hours.
Either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be the 45th President of the United States. That much we know. The rest is up to the voters.
Let’s break down where things stand on the final day before an election unlike any other in history, and with so much at stake for America …
As of Monday morning, polls show a modest but not insurmountable lead for Hillary Clinton, the baggage-laden Democratic nominee.
She’s ahead of controversial Republican Donald Trump in both two-way matchups and a four-way race against Trump, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.
Aggregators of polling data agree that her lead is somewhere in the range of 2-3 percent nationally, with similarly close races statewide.
Is 2-3 percent within the margin of error?
Indeed, and we can guarantee you Clinton is not measuring the Oval Office drapes yet. Nevertheless, she remains a modest favorite Tuesday.
A few weeks ago, a more comfortable Clinton win seemed likely, and a landslide victory even felt like something within the realm of possibility.
So much for that.
Clinton led in national polls consistently by 6-7 points, benefiting from three strong presidential debate performances and Trump … being Trump.
The recent reopening of the FBI’s probe into Clinton’s private email server helped galvanize Trump’s base, however, and tighten the race.
How much impact the FBI had – as opposed to reliably Republican voters “coming home” to the Donald as they would anyway – is unclear.
It didn’t help her, however; Clinton’s once-safe lead dwindled down to toss-up territory, even as the FBI didn’t change its findings ultimately.
Clinton probably never thought she’d be sweating it out at this point in her second White House bid, but she undeniably (and wisely) is.
No candidate in 2012, 2008 or 2004 improved their national polling by more than two points in the two weeks prior to Election. Trump has.
Still, it may not be enough to overcome his own ceiling with independents, and the Clinton campaigns superior’s organizational structure.
If Clinton and Trump perform at current polling levels (or if Clinton does better than expected), she will win, either by a little or a lot.
There are still real paths to a Trump victory, via polling errors and/or a late uprising of previously undetected support for the businessman.
How great are those odds really, though?
Predictive models at FiveThirtyEight, the Upshot (New York Times) and the Huffington Post all project a Clinton win … of varying degrees.
The HuffPost model cites a ridiculous 1.6% chance of a Trump win, while FiveThirtyEight is more bullish, giving him once chance in three.
In fairness, Trump does have a real shot.
See the map above. With 270 Electoral Votes needed to win, Clinton would claim 301 – more than enough – if every state’s polling is accurate.
It’s more complicated than that, however.
Margins in Florida in particular are razor-thin, while Trump is gaining ground in New Hampshire. Take away their 33 combined Electoral Votes?
You could be looking at President Trump. On the flip side, Clinton is competitive in 5-6 red states above, so he has no margin for error.
This second map (both courtesy of Real Clear Politics) offers a better indication of the extent of both candidates leads in the polls, if any.
Using only leads determined to be safe or reasonably safe, Clinton’s lead in the Electoral College shrinks to 203-164, with 171 in play.
Still, Trump’s battle is more uphill than Hillary’s.
North Carolina and Florida are very close – within a percent – but if she can pull out either one, it’s pretty much curtains for the Donald.
Even if Trump wins both of those states as well as Ohio, Iowa, Georgia and Arizona, he’ll be at 259 Electoral Votes – very close, but not quite there.
Unless he can outperform his polling across the nation and “steal” a Pennsylvania or Michigan (he trails in both), he will come up short.
It’s just a matter of how short.
In the end, we would bet on a Trump victory based on this analysis. However, we’ve also learned never to count out Donald or his supporters.
The central tradeoffs of Trump’s candidacy – his outsider persona and populist stances widely appeal to a wide swath of the electorate.
They also alienate an equally wide swath.
Turning off Hispanics, women, and even traditional Republican groups in his brash run for the Republican nomination put him in a hole.
One has yet to show he can climb out of.
For all of Clinton’s many flaws, and her own widespread unpopularity, she seems poised to eke this one out and make history Tuesday.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Finale Predictions: Will Winter Finally Come to Westeros?
For six seasons now, we"ve been hearing the words of House Stark so often that they"ve become an unofficial tagline for the show:
Winter is coming.
Ned Stark promised the change of seasons before he lost his head, and Catelyn Stark warned of a snowy future before she was cut down at the Red Wedding.
As Game of Thrones Season 6 has taught us time and again, anything goes in post-book Westeros, and trying to predict what will happen next on the show is an exercise in futility.
That said, Sunday night"s season finale is entitled "The Winds of Winter," so it"s a safe bet that temps will start dropping from King"s Landing up to the Wall (where it"s already pretty damn cold).
As the episode is the longest in the show"s history (69 minutes), and it shares a title with the forthcoming novel in George R.R. Martin"s A Song of Ice and Fire series, you can bet that it"ll be an eventful one.
Will it top last week"s Battle of the Bastards?
We"re not sure any show could accomplish that – but here"s a roundup of what folks on the web think will happen.
Check out the full list below and watch Game of Thrones online to get caught up in time for the Season 6 finale.
You"ll want to be able watch it live. After all, spoilers are coming.
1. Satisfaction From the Tower of Joy
Following the death of Hodor (Sorry, the moratorium on spoilers for that one is long expired.), the show abandoned Bran and Meera’s storyline. Expect a return to warging this week, along with some closure on Bran’s Tower of Joy flashback.
2. The Death of a Major Character
In the past, the GoT season finale has often been devoted to tying up loose ends, but several insiders have stated that won’t be the case this year. In fact, it’s been reported that the show has at least one more big surprise up its sleeve in the form of the death of a major character. It probably won’t be Tyrion or Varys. In fact, it DEFINITELY won’t be Tyrion, as the writers probably aren’t looking to start riots.
3. The North Will Rally Around Jon
Kind of a foregone conclusion following last week’s decisive victory in battle. But an interesting development nonetheless, as it brings Jon one step closer to joining forces with Daenerys to fight for the Iron Throne. Of course, her new alliance with the Greyjoys may complicate that.
4. A Return to Dorne
The episode’s promotional material promises a return to down south to Dorne. Not a favorite storyline for most fans, but maybe something interesting will FINALLY develop there.
5. King’s Landing Will Burn
The tension between Cersei and the High Sparrow has been building all season. Expect the Faith Militant situation to come to a head this week – with deadly consequences…
6. A Fallen King?
We’re not sure why everyone wants the Iron Throne so badly. King of Westeros is one hell of a dangerous job. Many fans believe this week’s war with the High Sparrow could mean curtains for King Tommen.

2016 Oscar Predictions: Will Spotlight Outshine The Revenant?
It"s that time of year again.
On Sunday night, millions will tune in to watch pretty people take home gold statues, and Hollywood will expect us to take it all very seriously.
This year, that"s harder than ever as ignorant snubs for films like Straight Outta Compton, Creed, The Hateful Eight, Carol, and Diary of a Teenage Girl make it clear that the average Academy voter is more concerned with nominating films that fit the bill for traditional Oscar fare than with honoring the year"s best and most memorable films.
As a result, we"re left with one of the least populist, most awards-bait-stuffed Best Picture fields in years.
Sure, the Academy threw the average Joe Popcorn Bucket a bone with Mad Max: Fury Road, but with the exception of the film doesn"t stand a chance in any of the major categories (it might not even take home any technical awards).
So while there are many strong contenders this year (For the love of God, see The Big Short, Brooklyn, and Room, if you haven"t already.), there are probably more than a few big nominees you haven"t seen, and there might be a few you"ve never even heard of.
Regardless, many of us will drunkenly toss a $ 20 into the pot and fill in some bubbles before hunkering down to see if anyone trips on the red carpet. (Don"t let us down, J-Law!)
That"s why we"ve assembled the list below to provide you with all the information you"ll need to fleece your friends on Hollywood"s biggest night.
Of course, if you really want to play it safe, just find some uninformed sucker and bet him that all the night"s acting prizes will go to white people.
Unlike minorities working in the film industry, you"re sure to win big!
1. Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio
Perhaps the biggest lock of the night. Leo’s over-the-top work in The Revenant (the Academy loves man tears) coupled with a relentless PR campaign designed to remind us how grueling the shoot was (the man ate A REAL BISON LIVER…for some reason) all but guarantees him his first Oscar. Plus, voters are probably sick of all the memes about how he hasn’t won one already.
2. Best Actress: Brie Larson
Brie Larson’s tour-de-force performance as a kidnapping victim in Room is one for the ages. Expect the Academy to get it right with this one.
3. Best Supporting Actor: Sylvester Stallone
Creed proved that old Sly’s still got some fight left in him. The performance is deserving, but it’s his status as the sentimental favorite that’ll win Rocky the gold.
4. Best Supporting Actress: Alicia Vikander
Alicia Vikander was the best part of The Danish Girl. Most critics have rightfully dismissed the film as beautifully-shot fluff, but Vikander’s star-making performance sticks with you.
5. Best Original Screenplay: Spotlight
Once a favorite for Best Picture, Spotlight seems to have lost some steam in recent months. Expect the Academy to toss the critical darling a bone in the form of a screenplay prize.
6. Best Adapted Screenplay: The Big Short
The Big Short accomplished the nigh-impossible feat of making the nitty-gritty of the 2008 housing market collapse accessible to the average viewer. Even more impressively, the adaptation of Michael Lewis’ nonfiction best-seller is legitimately laugh-out-loud funny. Any film with the audacity to have Selena Gomez break the fourth wall to explain collateralized debt obligations to the audience deserves a writing award.

The Bachelor Predictions: Are These Picks Spot On?
The new year brings a new season of The Bachelor, and with it a fresh new crop of contestants attempting to shamelessly grab publicity and up their social media following find true love.
The first episode of season 20 premiered Monday, and the internet is already abuzz with predictions of who will receive Bachelor Ben’s final rose.
People magazine revealed their top picks – let’s have a look and see if you agree.
Olivia
The tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed, seemingly real-life incarnation of a Stepford Wife who left her dream job as a news anchor to be on the show is their first choice.
Olivia won the First Impression Rose, and by gum, she loves cuddling, French fries and The Shawshank Redemption, so she’s got to be every man’s dream… right?
Amber and Becca
America got to know these two on the last season of The Bachelor, but ultimately wound up ringless. Could these women have an advantage because they’ve now mastered the system and can totally beat it?
Who knows, but I’m personally rooting for Becca, who says her biggest dating fear is clogging up a toilet in the vein of Dumb and Dumber. Now this is a girl I can identify with.
Haley and Emily
Haley and Emily are identical twins, and isn’t it time this show reach peak cliche by introducing the male fantasy of twincest?
Also, their occupations on the ABC site are listed simply as “Twin,” so clearly their split zygote status is Very Important.
But Ben can’t pick them both. Will one do?
JoJo
Welp, the girl came out of the limo wearing a unicorn head. One doesn’t forget that easily.
The Laurens
There are four contestants named Lauren, so by selecting one of them you automatically have a one in seven chance of picking the winner.
But People is hedging their bets on Lauren B., because, you know, she’s a flight attendant. Evidently, they’re under the impression that Ben is completely unoriginal.
Lace and Mandi
Dubbed “The Entertainers,” Lace and Mandi are the requisite drama queens, and no one would watch if it wasn’t for them.
Mandi, a dentist, showed up wearing a ginormous, blossoming rose hat and gave Ben a literal dental exam while Lace got all up in Ben’s face because he didn’t make eye contact with her during the rose ceremony.
These two may or may not become Mrs. Bachelor, but we have no doubt the network will keep them around for a while, because they’ve probably already agreed (off the record, of course) to pile on the theatrics.
What say you? Who do you think Ben will propose to upon season’s end (then break up with a few months later)?

Back to the Future Day: Which Predictions Came True?
If you"ve so much as dipped a toe into the social media ocean today, then you"re certainly aware that October 21, 2015 has a special connection to a beloved "80s film classic.
Yes, this is the day that this is the day that Charlie Sheen"s character in Ferris Bueller is finally released from prison.
We kid! As you"ve no doubt been reminded by approximately 4,000 memes that have seen more mileage than Marty McFly"s down vest, it"s Back to the Future Day!
Naturally, the question on everyone"s mind is: How accurate was the 1989 sequel that predicted life in the far off future of the 21st Century?
Sadly, we don"t have self-tying Nikes yet, but in many other ways the film was pretty spot-on.
Astrophysicist, snappy dresser and all-around badass Neil deGrasse Tyson gave a rundown of what the film got right (and oh-so wrong) about the technological advancements we enjoy in 2015.
Strap in – because where we"re going, we don"t need roads:
1. Pocket Digital Cameras [Got it]
We’re all carrying tiny, hi-res digital cameras in our pockets. Granted, they look a little different than Doc Brown’s futuristic doo-hickey.
2. Video Chats [Got it]
Video chatting has existed for years. Of course, we tend to do it on much smaller screens.
3. Drone-walked Dogs. [Nope]
Sadly, lazy-ass people aren’t yet walking their dogs with drones. Though can this really be far off?
4. Multiple Home Fax Machines [WTF?]
This might be the film’s most wildly off-base predicition.
5. Double Neckties. [WTF?]
Although this one is pretty bad, too.
6. Thumbprint Locks. [Got it]
Most iPhone owners use one of these every day.
