Duggars: Still Filming TV Series, Jana"s Still Babysitting

On January 7th, TLC executive producer and general manager Nancy Daniels had this to say in response to the fate of 19 Kids & Counting:

“We are still considering doing more but haven’t made a decision yet,” she told a group of reporters at the network’s Television Critics Association press tour panel. 

Meanwhile, twins John David and Jana Duggar took some of their younger siblings to Ridout Lumber, a short drive from the family’s Arkansas home.

According to Radar Online, the group was purchasing wood for a tree house, and they were joined by a film crew.

“The production company from Nashville called me last week, It was the day before they wanted to come in and film,” manager Jim Logsdon told the publication.

“Then the normal camera guy for the family called me and then John David did.”

“He [John David] sent over a list of things they needed to build a tree house. He wanted to make sure we have the stuff. We got it all together.”

Jana was the troop leader, it seems.

“Jana was really the one in charge. We asked her if she needed 4″ grooves or 8″ grooves and she knew the answer,” Logsdon recalled.

“She was the one giving all the instructions.”

While the family has shopped at Ridout several times in the past, this is their first time filming at the lumber yard.

Alrighty, so what’s up your sleeve, TLC?

Alan Rickman Dies; Iconic Actor Was 69

Alan Rickman – the British actor best known for his villainous roles in such blockbuster films as Die Hard and the Harry Potter series – has passed away at the age of 69.

According to a statement, Rickman had been battling cancer. He reportedly passed away at his home in London this morning.

“The actor and director Alan Rickman has died from cancer at the age of 69. He was surrounded by family and friends,” the statement from his loved ones reads.

RIckman found success as an actor relatively late in life, winning a Tony Award for his work in Les Liaisons Dangereuses in 1988.

That same year, Rickman struck box office gold with his role as Hans Gruber in the action classic Die Hard.

Between that oft-quoted performance (“Now I have a machine gun…Ho, ho, ho.”) and his role in Love Actually, Rickman’s one-of-a-kind voice has become a Christmastime staple in homes all over the world. 

Of course, it was his role as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films that would enable the master of the deadpan delivery to frighten a whole new generation.

Just last year, Rickman revealed that he had married Rima Horton – his partner since 1965 – at a small civil ceremony in 2012.

Truly one of the most beloved and influential character actors in movie history, Rickman has already inspired thousands of social media tributes from friends, fellow actors, and his generations of fans.
