Rebecca Lo Robertson: Pregnant with First Child!

Rebecca Lo Robertson has some rather exciting news to share.


You may have guessed it based on our headline above, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth repeating:


The Duck Dynasty alum is pregnant with her very first child!



Robertson tells Us Weekly that she’s nearly 15 weeks along and is due on January 15.


She also explains why she told her 15-year old sister Bella about the impending baby before she even told her husband, John Reed Loflin.


You see, she needed her sibling’s help to surprise John on his birthday.


“I bought a little baby denim jacket cause me and my husband both love denim jackets and we always wear matching stuff,” the Duck and Dressing boutique owner revealed.


However, when Rebeca presented John with the item, he thought it was for their well-dressed and quite fancy French bulldog. HA!


 It wasn’t until he saw the pregnancy test that he realized what was actually happening.



“He was shocked and like, ‘Wait, what!?’” Rebecca tells the tabloid, adding:


“He was just crying then, of course, I was laughing the whole time.”


For those unaware, Rebecca has an interesting story:


She arrived to live with the Robertson family as an exchange student from Taiwan when she was 16 years old.


She has not been legally adopted by her famous relatives, but that’s just a nit-pick or a technicality. She is very much considered a family member.

Robertson’s parents, Willie and Korie Robertson, were just as shocked as Loflin to learn about their grandkid on the way.


“My mom was like, ‘Oh my god! Ah! Ah!’ And then she started crying and she was like, ‘Are you feeling okay?’” Rebecca Lo relayed to Us Weekly.


Rebecca and John got married in December of 2016 — and they do plan on learning their baby’s gender.


The test results will be in on July 30. 


Both mom and dad just want a healthy boy or girl, of course, but…



“I think John Reed is thinking like, he wants to show his boy how to play draws and go hunt and you know,” Rebecca says, being sure to add:


“But of course girls can do all of that too.”


Duck Dynasty aired on A&E from 2012 to 2017 and centered around the Robertson family and their duck call business.


Rebecca did not play a major role, although she was definitely known over the years to viewers.


Rebecca’s sister, Sadie Robertson, told Pop Culture.com at one point that the likelihood of a Duck Dynasty reunion in the near future is slim.


But not none!


“Right now, for sure not,” she said in February. “We are totally on break. My little siblings are growing up, and my parents just wanted to be parents, and raise them up in a normal way, and try to get that normal capacity back.


“For me, I moved to Nashville. We’re all around right now, doing our thing. Maybe one day, but it would have to be a while.”

Phil Robertson to "Reject Political Correctness," Anchor New Show

About a year after Duck Dynasty went off the air, Phil Robertson is set to make his return to the small screen.


But he isn’t plotting his comeback by himself.


He’s bringing his firestorm of controversial opinions with him!



According to The Hollywood Reporter, the reality star some have dubbed Redneck Dumbledore has landed his own show on CRTV.


This is a $ 99-a-year digital network whose most popular programs are hosted by conservative commentators Mark Levin, Steven Crowder and Michelle Malkin.


Robertson’s series will be titled In the Woods With Phil and he explains why in a sneak peek from one of the installments.


“What does a man do when they try to run him out of town for quoting a Bible verse?” Robertson asks. “I tell you what he does; he goes deep in the woods.


Robertson, of course, has quite a history of speaking his mind.


The ex-Duck Dynasty patriarch was suspended by A&E in 2013 for making rather strong anti-gay comments.



“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there,” he told GQ a few years ago, adding at the time:


“Beastiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.”


He then paraphrased a Bible passage and also said the following:


“It seems like, to me, a vagina – as a man – would be more desirable than a man’s anus, that’s just me.


“I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying?


“But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”


Regarding his upcoming show, Robertson says that he plans on rejecting “political correctness,” explaining:


“For far too long we have been told to shut up. No more. Here’s the deal, America. These are my woods. Out here, I call the shots.


“Out here, we reject political correctness, or as I like to say, ‘pontificated crap’.”



When we last heard from Robertson, he was slamming Miley Cyrus and The Discovery Channel.


“America is floundering in sin,” he said in May of last year, citing Miley as someone who promotes “decadence” and who is ruining this country.


Robertson will provide a preview of his show on Friday at the Values Voters Summit in Washington, where speakers include President Donald Trump and his former White House adviser, Steve Bannon.


“Our culture and values are being overrun and progressives are hell bent on purging traditional values from media,” says CRTV senior vp Gaston Mooney. “Phil is a Christian and CRTV is proud to have him proclaim from our platform.”

Jase Robertson: Duck Dynasty Star Shaved! Unrecognizable!

Duck Dynasty might be over at long last, but the Robertson family is still around.


Seeing a member of the Duck Dynasty family without their beard might sound like seeing a turtle without its shell. Except … alive.


But, if you check out the video below, that"s exactly what you"ll see: Jase Robertson, shaved clean for the first time in nearly a decade.



As a general rule, the Duck Dynasty folks are worlds away from most Americans.


Their lifestyle, their beliefs, their facial hair choices, and their net worths are all pretty far removed from American culture.


That"s what made them such a source of entertainment … or whatever … for so long.


Phil Robertson, the family patriarch, has been decidedly less "entertaining" lately, having gone to bat for Ted Cruz and Cruz"s dominionist theology (a belief that Christians should take over every branch of government … even more so than is the case currently … and rewrite laws based upon their religious beliefs).


Certainly not the first controversial move by Phil Robertson and it won"t be the last.


Every now and then, you can find something relatable about them.


For example, Sadie Robertson thirsting after Justin Bieber is something that isn"t a universal experience, but we all know someone like that.


And then there"s that interview where Jase and Missy Robertson strongly suggested that Anna Duggar could leave Josh Duggar.


(Sensible!)


Beyond that, we absolutely support Jase pledging to do something for such a good cause — and keeping his word.



So, Jase"s daughter, Mia, was born with a cleft palate and lip.


Mia has had eight surgeries so far to correct this, but the Robertsons are aware that not all families can afford to foot that kind of bill.


In 2014, Jase and Missy started the Mia Moo Fund for, well, children with cleft palates and lips.


The fund"s name might be all kinds of goofy, but that"s a great cause.


A condition doesn"t have to be life-threatening to need to be addressed, you know.


So, Jase had made a pledge that if the Mia Moo Fund raised its goal of 100,000 dollars, he would shave his beard.


This created a situation where everybody wins, because the money is for a good cause but also Missy prefers Jase when he"s shaved.


(And you know how some charity money goes to administrative costs? Jase and Missy paid the administrative fees themselves, so all of the money raised could go directly to kids in need)


Well, they raised the money.


And then Jase, who hadn"t shaved in 8 years, got shaved by Missy.



As you can see in the video, a lot of family members gathered to bear witness.


There are pictures around the house of Jase Robertson without his beard — which, again, is how Missy prefers him.


(Shocking, we know, that she"d prefer that he look like a human who"s either cleanshaven or has a normal beard instead of looking like an Ent from The Lord of the Rings)


Mia herself hasn"t seen Jase like this since she was very young.


Apparently she found his beardlessness frightening because he looked unfamiliar (that"s just a basic survival instinct in children, but they tend to still recognize their parents" voice).


As you can see, Jase looks … positively unrecognizable.

Sadie Robertson: Justin Bieber, Hit Me up!

The horror that was Duck Dynasty finally came to an end last March, but the Robertson family still exists and some still have careers on camera.


20-year-old Sadie Robertson has an upcoming Hallmark movie and gave an interview, which you can see below.


In it, when asked about her celebrity crush, she names Justin Bieber … and explains why. She also suggest that he "hit her up."



Okay, so if you are in the enviable position of having forgotten about Duck Dynasty. …


It was a reality series that followed an aggressively conservative Louisiana family, some of whom sport some very prominent beards, who have their own business.


(It"s not the same as Swamp People, but we totally understand your confusion)


Duck Commander is the name of their hunting supply business (which involves duck calls — thus, the name). Many found that the family, despite their wealth, had a degree of rustic charm.


Hunting is controversial, but for the most part the very devout Christian family might seem eccentric but innocuous … until you get into politics.


They famously came under fire and one of the show"s stars, Phil Robertson, was temporarily banned from airing after espousing some seriously anti-gay views in an interview.


After the show"s fans — not hate-watchers but genuine fans — raised hell about it, A&E decided that apparently he was worth the controversy, and reinstated him.


Phil Robertson was a vocal supporter of Ted Cruz during the 2016 GOP primaries, doubling down on his anti-LGBT beliefs and his support for dominionist theology — that is, that Christian conservatives must control every aspect of government.


Willie Robertson supported Trump — as with so many families, support for Trump was a source of division in the Robertson family.


And Sadie Robertson, though she was only 19 at the time, was also a Trump supporter. So … yikes.


(To be fair, she"s very young. And Trump isn"t the only, uh, questionable support that she"s expressed. Sadie also thinks that Josh Duggar just made a mistake)



Sadie Robertson still has a public career after Duck Dynasty, through acting and modeling.


She was also on Dancing With The Stars, of course.


So, in a recent interview about her upcoming Hallmark Channel movie, Sadie was asked about her celebrity crushes.


Her answer, like the reason behind it, was not super surprising.


"Now that Justin Bieber is going to all these Christian conferences, I"m like: "Hit me up, Biebs.""


Like, she"s 20 and Justin Bieber is 23. 


She"s in exactly the age range of the people who were the wildest for Bieber when he first came out.



The "Christian conferences" to which she refers include the Hollywood megachurch where Justin Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian have been spotted.


Recently, of course, Justin Bieber canceled his tour for vague religious reasons, after falling under the influence of a charismatic pastor from a globe-spanning megachurch that caters to celebrities.


Basically, he was advised to reconsider some of his choices in a religious context, and he apparently decided that he shouldn"t continue his tour. Hey, it"s his faith and his life.


Clearly, that got some people"s attention — and not just the fans who worry about him or the hopeful concert-goers who were disappointed and not the hundreds of workers who had to scramble to find new work after he abruptly canceled.


(Big stars insure their shows for just such an occasion, but local people who work those events are left hanging when stars cancel on a whim)


But Sadie Robertson was obviously someone who took notice and took an interest.


Though, let"s be real — she probably took an interest a long time ago.



Is Justin going to take her up on it?


Like, he might — especially now that he"s fallen under the sway of this celebrity-catering megachurch and its charismatic pastor.


But in the past couple of years, Justin has seemed to prefer girls who are professed and genuinely devout Christians, as he is …


(Remember that his mom has been known to post End Times stuff on Instagram, so this is the culture that he knows)


… But who aren"t super big on, say, any degree of modesty culture or chastity.


He"s also been known to send DMs, inquiring after random attractive women he sees online.


Just recently, the Biebs was hilariously rejected after doing just that.


Sadie is from a much more conservative family.


So we don"t think that Justin and Sadie would quite match up.


What we don"t know is if Justin will realize that.

Adrian Grenier on Courtney Robertson Penis Claim: She Ain"t Wrong!

Adrian Grenier of Entourage fame says former flame Courtney Robertson isn’t wrong when she said his package is … well, a package.



The actor, 40, dated Robertson, 33, before the model went on to appear on – and win – ABC’s The Bachelor during Ben Flajnik’s season.


Robertson turned Season 16 (airing in 2012) into her own personal juicy melodrama, seducing Flajnik and alienating everyone else.


She and Ben stayed engaged for a decent length of time, but ultimately called things off – with no love lost between them, as it turned out.


Courtney then went on to wrote I Didn’t Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show villain, and put the all in tell-all.


In addition to talking about reverse cowgirling Flajnik (seriously) in the Fantasy Suite, she dished on her past lovers, including Grenier.



The “‘sweet but non-committal” actor, she wrote, “had the biggest dick she’s ever seen,” and well, Adrian says at least she spoke facts.


In interview on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, when host Andy Cohen reminded him of that memorable quote, he addressed it.


“I was just glad she got the size right,” Adrian quipped.


“And she’s seen a couple of them, huh.”


Oooh, burn. She asked for it, though.



While other celebrities may have been embarrassed by that kind of exposure, the fan favorite hunk says he tries to take it all in stride.


His rationale for that is pretty simple:


“You’re always on the edge of your seat waiting for something bad to be revealed about you and then every once in a while, it’s not so bad.”


It’s true. Could have been a lot worse.


Robertson also dated actor Jesse Metcalfe, who she called an “alcoholic” and nothing special in bed. Yup, just plain mediocre, she says:


“I wish I could say that we were the greatest lovers since Christian Grey and Ana Steele. But I can’t lie. The sex was pretty average.”


“Jesse needed a lot of reassurance.” 



A makeout sesh between Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams on Dawson’s Creek was her sexual awakening, in case you were wondering.


“I put my hand down south and went to town,” she says. “Emboldened by erotic discovery, I masturbated every night for the next – well forever.”


Hilariously, Courtney reveals in cringe-worthy fashion, “I was paddling the pink canoe so much my hand was getting cramped.”


She had slept with about 15 men at the time of her memoir’s publication. Who knows how many (un)lucky souls have paddled that canoe since.

Willie Robertson, Scott Baio Support Donald Trump at Republican National Convention

Willie Robertson, Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr. were among the so-called celebrities who opened the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on Monday night.


Each expressed his reason on stage for supporting Donald Trump.



“Are you cheering because we’re ugly?” the Duck Dynasty star said to kick off primetime coverage of the event from Cleveland.


Robertson went on to note similarities between himself and Trump, namely that both are successful businessmen who have anchor hit reality programs, “though I flew commercial here,” Willie joked.


That’s not a bad line actually.


Robertson then took aim at “media experts” who were dead wrong about Trump’s candidacy, assuming he would lose early on in the GOP primary and adding that “it must be humbling to be so wrong about so much for so long.”


We’re not sure how slamming reporters from both sides of the aisle gets Trump votes, but hey.


Robertson proceeded to play the divisive card, talking about southern roots and saying “they don’t know how to talk to folks like us,” people who “hunt, fish, pray and actually work for a living.”


He concluded that Trump “may not be politically correct,” but he “always tells you the truth as he sees it” – and that’s why the Duck Commander CEO believes “Donald Trump will have your back.”



Scott Baio also shared his thoughts live from Ohio, getting quickly to his main point in a speech that was short and not sweet.


Not when it came to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at least.


She’s a a woman who feels she’s “entitled to the presidency,” Baio argued, while describing Trump is “a man doing this out of the goodness of his heart,” who “says what he means. and means what he says.”


Once again, it’s not really clear why either of those statements are a reason to vote someone in to the Oval Office, but hey.


Baio’s final message to attendees and viewers? “Let’s make America America again!”


We don’t know what that means.



Then there was Antonio Sabato Jr., who did not address the crowd in only his underwear, much to the chagrin of the women and gay men in attendance.


(JUST KIDDING! There are no women or gay men in support of Donald Trump.)


“My belief in this country and my faith in Jesus Christ have compelled me to speak now,” said the model and former Dancing with the Stars contestant.


“Our rights have been trampled and our security threatened,” added Sabato, who detailed his decision to move to the United States from Rome in 1985 and who become a naturalized citizen in 1996.


“Others who want to come to the U.S. to live and work should follow the same rules!”


Sabato’s speech, which claimed that America is “weaker by almost every measure,” was short on specifics, yet heavy on passion.


“Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton promote division,” he said with a straight face, adding:


“Don’t be fooled: Donald Trump is for unity. Donald Trump believes in one America with liberty and justice for all.”

Phil Robertson Slams Miley Cyrus, The Weather Channel

Phil Robertson is at it again.



Over the years, the Duck Dynasty star has made his feelings very well known when it comes to atheists and also when it comes to homosexuals.


He got himself suspended by A&E back in 2013 for remarks he made regarding the latter group of individuals.


And now Robertson is back in the news for saying some very mean stuff about a wide variety of people and… television networks?!?


Later this week, Robertson’s religion-themed documentary, Torchbearer, will debut at the Cannes Film Festival later.


In anticipation of the release, a trailer has hit the Internet that implies Miley Cyrus is actually one of the film’s subjects, as she appears on-screen while Robertson talks about “moral decay.”


What, exactly, is this a reference to? Why is Cyrus being cited as an example?


“Our [Founding Fathers] said once your religion goes, then your morality goes, then your freedom goes, and you see with Bernie Sanders they’re wanting to get rid of the Republic and replace it with socialism,” Robertson told The Hollywood Reporter in response to a question about Miley.


And he was only getting started.


“America is floundering in sin, and I know that’s a unique word in your part of the country,” he added, speaking of Tinseltown.


Robertson went on to say that Miley promotes “decadence,” as do many others in Hollywood.


He doesn’t have time for anyone who can’t see the problem with this lifestyle.


“If you got an argument in favor of decadence, then give it to me,” he says.



With what else does Robertson take issue?


“Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshall – ‘Gunsmoke,’ and John Wayne and the Western Channel.


“Also the Weather Channel to see what the Doppler radar is telling me.”


What? What? Why?!?


You have to remember, I’ve never turned on a computer and I don’t own a cell phone,” Robertson notes. “So, dude, you’re reaching way down in the woods.”


In conclusion, Robertson says he’s just trying to be there for his fellow man.


He has no regrets about his past comments or his past behavior.


“I used to get high, drunk and laid with the worst of ’em. I did it for 28 years. It’s not like I’ve never been on the other side,” he says.


“I lived a very sinful life ’til I ran up on Jesus. Now I’m just trying to help my neighbor out. Why don’t we love God, love each other and do what’s right?”

Jep Robertson Adopts a Baby Boy... And Here He Is!

Jep Robertson now has something else in common with Willie Robertson, aside from a love of facial hair and the outdoors.


Just a few weeks after Willie Robertson and Korie Robertson confirmed they are adopting a little boy… Jep and his wife have gone ahead and done the same thing!



Jep and Jessica Robertson introduced the newest addition to their family Wednesday on the premiere of their spinoff program, Jep and Jessica: Growing the Dynasty.


The child is named Jules Augustus and, as you can see above via Jep’s Twitter account, he is quite the looker.


“Thanks for the love! This has been a crazy, awesome ride but so worth it! Me and Gus signing out! #JepAndJessica,” he wrote as a caption to go along with the picture.


This eight-episode spinoff will follow around the television stars as they finalize the adoption process that resulted in them taking home this precious young child.


He joins the couple’s four other children, Lily, Merritt, Priscilla and River, all of whom are well known to those who watch Duck Dynasty online.


“It’s like such a surreal moment, to finally have him in our arms,” Jessica said on the show.


“We waited so long and wanted to happen for so many years, so to actually have him and hold him and know that he’s ours and we’re his forever family, we’re excited.”


We send our best wishes to Jep, to Willie and to all of the celebrities who have adopted a child of late.

Willie Robertson and Korie Robertson: We"re Adopting!

The Duck Dynasty family just added another member.


Korie Robertson took to Instagram Sunday afternoon to explain a certain face in certain pictures on her account of late, confirming that she and husband Willie are in the process of adopting a son.



“We’ve had lots of questions about the cute kid popping up in our photos lately,” Korie wrote.


“We are excited to be in the process of adopting a new son!


“He’s been with us since May, but we wanted some privacy and time for him and our family to bond before telling the world (It’s a bit of an adjustment coming into this big, crazy family, ha,).”


Here is a look at the photo that accompanied this message:



The Louisiana natives – who we often see interacting with their relatives when we watch Ducky Dynasty online – are parents to Rebecca, 27, John Luke, 20, Sadie, 18, and Willie Jr. and Bella, both 13.


Korie and Willie adopted Willie Jr. when he was a baby, while Rebecca was an exchange student who became their foster child in 2004. 


“He’s amazing, and we are all so thrilled to have another kid around the house,” Willie Robertson’s wife added of her new child.


“Couldn’t keep the good news to ourselves any longer! We appreciate your prayers and support for our family! Love, The Robertson’s.”


Duck Dynasty, meanwhile, returns with new episodes at 9/8c on Jan. 13 on A&E.

Jase and Missy Robertson: Anna Duggar Should LEAVE Josh Duggar!

As the other devoutly religious, politically conservative reality TV powerhouse, the Robertsons of Duck Dynasty are frequently asked to comment on the various Josh Duggar sex scandals


Back in August, Sadie Robertson defended the Duggars, but that was before Josh admitted to cheating on his wife and entered rehab to be treated for sex addiction.


Now, Sadie’s aunt and uncle – Jase and Missy Robertson – are speaking out about the Duggars’ troubles for the first time, and it seems they’re not quite as forgiving



Asked if she believes Anna Duggar should leave Josh, Missy responded:



“She certainly has that right, because he interrupted their marriage with those affairs, but forgiveness is not really a choice, you know, if you want forgiveness from God.


“She’s definitely a victim in this whole situation, and, yes, [Josh] made some wrong decisions. But that’s something that, at the end of the day, when the cameras go away, that’s their life.


“They’re going to have to deal with it themselves and get past it and try to savor some of the experiences they had and memories, and also make a new life for themselves — whether it’s together or apart.”


Jase echoed that sentiment, saying, “You can forgive somebody, but that doesn’t mean there’s not consequences for your actions.”


While they may not have explicitly stated that they think the long-suffering mother of four should cut and run, we think you can add Jase and Missy to the long list of people who think Anna Duggar should file for divorce ASAP.
