Jessa Duggar Uses Home Remedy to Induce Labor

As she reported to her Instagram followers earlier today, Jessa Duggar is still pregnant.


She’s only one day past her due date, but clearly, Jessa has grown impatient with waiting to welcome #BabySeewald into the world.



Over the weekend, Jessa posted the above photo along with a caption explaining why she doesn’t look too thrilled to taking a produce selfie.


“So has anyone else tried the ‘eating an entire fresh pineapple’ thing for helping to bring on labor? Apparently it doesn’t work for everyone, ’cause I ate the whole thing yesterday… and still no signs of labor!


“(Sure was a tasty pineapple tho!) Guess #BabySeewald still wants to camp out in there a little longer! Patience, Mama, patience.”


Fortunately, Jessa didn’t spend the entire weekend gobbling copious quantities of tropical fruit in hopes of inducing labor.


She took some time to celebrate her first wedding anniversary with Ben Seewald and based on her Instagram pics, it seems the very pregnant Jessa marked the occasion by gorging on fries and ice cream.



But while the anniversary party was a low-key, laid-back affair, it seems there’s some truth to the rumors that Jessa is anxious about the upcoming birth.


Moments ago, Jessa posted on social media, “Wondering if I will have a gigantic child.”


She followed it up with this description of her recent activities:


“We’ve been taking a poll with the Duggar and Seewald families over the past few weeks, and everyone is trying to guess how much they think #BabySeewald might weigh at birth.


“I was the biggest out of all my siblings, weighing 9lbs 15oz– and Ben weighed 8lbs 15oz. Haha! I’d say it’s very possible we could have a chubby little baby!”


Well, we won’t know until the big moment arrives, but based on her diet over the past couple days, we’d say there’s very good chance that Jessa will have a large baby!


Vicki Gunvalson: Real Housewives" Character Assassination F--ked My Business!

Vicki Gunvalson is still fuming after The Real Housewives of Orange County reunion and the non-stop attacks on herself and Brooks Ayers.



Last night marked part three of three for the show’s reunion special, and Vicki and Brooks were the subject of just about every passing second.


Ayers’ controversial claims that he had cancer were slammed by her co-stars and fans alike, but Vicki stood by him and wouldn’t back down.


“I believed Brooks,” she told Radar.


Her own daughter, Briana Culberson, had no such reservations. In fact, she slammed her mother’s former partner repeatedly in recent weeks.


“He would do something terrible when my mom was across the room,” she said. “He hit on me when I was pregnant at a family birthday party.”


Vicki conceded after relentless criticism that “her gut says” Brooks does not have cancer, but that doesn’t change how she felt she was attacked.


Even though they broke up, Gunvalson wasn’t swayed by her co-stars’ claims, and says that the show exploited the cancer saga as a story line.


But ultimately, the attacks hit Vicki close to home, both personally and as a business person, and from that, it may take a long time to recover.


A successful insurance business entrepreneur, Gunvalson said the character assassination she faced dinged her reputation outside of the show.


“I am mad that people are attacking my character because it has a negative effect on my business,” she insisted, digging in her heels a bit.


It’s not clear how this, of all things we’ve seen her do, say and go through over the course of 10 seasons, would bedevil her, but so be it.

Bill Cosby to Testify in Janice Dickinson Lawsuit

Bill Cosby is headed to court. 


No, the disgraced comic isn’t facing criminal sexual assault charges (yet), but he’ll reportedly be forced to testify in a civil suit filed by supermodel and reality TV personality Janice Dickinson.



Dickinson accused Cosby of rape in November of last year.


She offered shocking details of the alleged assault in a series of interviews, leading Cosby’s former attorney Martin Singer to go on the offensive and publicly condemn Dickinson as a liar.


Now, Dickinson’s lawyers are fighting back, claiming that Singer (and by extension Cosby) defamed Dickinson with damaging public statements.


In a hearing held this morning, Debre K. Weintraub decreed that both Cosby and Singer can be deposed and questioned as to whether they knew Dickinson’s statements were untrue before Singer made his remarks.


In other words, Cosby will be asked under oath if he’s guilty of sexual assault.


“A reasonable fact finder could conclude the press statements declare provable false assertions of fact, a factual assertion that Ms. Dickinson is lying,” Weintraub stated today.


“In other words, either the rape did occur or it did not occur, and in this regard Ms. Dickinson is either telling the truth or not telling the truth.”


It’s bad news for Cosby, but the TV legend may be facing much bigger problems. Police in both Philadelphia and Los Angeles are currently conducting investigations into Cosby’s actions to determine if he can be tried in criminal court.
