Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: Did They Cut Mission Trip Short & Return Home AGAIN?!

Earlier this week, we reported that the mosquito-borne Zika virus is causing major concerns for the Duggar family.


The problem is that Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are performing missionary work in Central America, where women have been cautioned to avoid getting pregnant until at least 2018 for fear of the effects the virus might have on their children.



Earlier this week, it was reported that Jill has probably been using birth control or abstaining from sex, despite her family’s belief that it’s God’s will for women to have as many babies as possible.


Now, a new blog post on the Duggar family website indicates that Jill and Derick may have left the region and returned home to Arkansas.


The post seems to be the family’s reaction to frequent questions about where Jill and Derick are living at the moment, and one passage in particular has fans thinking that the young couple is back in Tontitown:


“For the time being, Jill and Derick Dillard wish to keep their location confidential, but please keep their little family, as well as others in Central and South America, in your prayers as they serve in regions where Zika is present.”


The family’s apparent interest in keeping Jill and Derick’s location under wraps and the couple’s recent silence on social media have convinced many fans that the Duggars are back in the States.



Jill and Derick cut their mission trip short without telling fans once before, and were forced to return an undisclosed amount in donations as a result.


So it stands to reason that the couple would try to remain low-key if they were forced to return to Arkansas, particularly if they plan on eventually returning to Central America for a third go-round.


Unfortunately, Jill and Derick will still need to exercise caution, as the Zika virus has now been detected in Arkansas.


The CDC has not yet cautioned against women getting pregnant in any part of the US, but between rabid fan interest in her location and the possibility of disease-carrying mosquitos, Jill might have multiple reasons to stay indoors.


Teresa Giudice Talks Strip Searches & Girl-on-Girl Inmate Action in New Memoir

From the moment she was sentenced to 15 months in prison for bankruptcy fraud, it was widely assumed that Teresa Giudice would release a lurid tell-all about her time behind bars.



As it turns out, Teresa’s memoir is finished and ready to hit stores months earlier than anyone expected.


The reason, it seems, is that Teresa worked at a furious pace while she was locked up.


According to Radar Online, one source who has read the book and is familiar with the circumstances behind its publication says Teresa pounded out pages under tremendously difficult conditions:


“There were concerns inmates would try and steal the book as it was being written,” the source said, adding that Teresa would write 20 or 30 pages at a time and then pass the book off to her lawyer for safekeeping.


The insider says that in the book – entitled Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again – Teresa reveals that the most humiliating part of her prison experience was the routine strip searches that she was subjected to as an inmate:


“The first strip search had Teresa completely rattled. It was humiliating” the source said.


“The prison staff were professionals, and did it very quickly. But after each visit with the family, Teresa would have to go through the process all over again.


“It became routine in the end, and she understood the staff were just doing their job. That’s covered in the book.”


Teresa also goes into detail regarding the love lives of her fellow prisoners:



“Teresa was stunned at the prison romances between the women,” the insider says.


“Obviously, Teresa didn’t hook up with anyone. There were some interested vibes that Teresa got from a couple of the ladies, but Teresa just ignored it.”


Of course, there were dark, lonely moments during her almost 12 months behind bars, and the insider says Teresa delves into her emotional struggle with surprising candor:


“During the first two weeks, Teresa cried every night,” the source says. “There were moments she didn’t know if she was going to make it for almost an entire year.


“Visits from the family and Teresa’s faith got her through the darkest times.”


Teresa’s book will be available in stores and online Februrary 9.


Louis Tomlinson: Did He Demand DNA Test of Newborn?

Louis Tomlinson seems very happy to be a father.


Soon after ex-lover Briana Jungwirth gave birth to a boy, Tomlinson Tweeted confirmation of the news, referring to the tiny bloke as “amazing.”



The handsome singer then went on to share an adorable photo of his son, Freddie.


Prior to doing so, however, In Touch Weekly alleges that Tomlinson wanted to make absolutely sure that the baby was actually his.


“He wanted proof the baby was his,” an insider tells the tabloid. “Louis had [a DNA] test done as soon as the baby was born.”


By most accounts, Tomlinson and Jungwirth were never a couple.


They seemed to have had a brief fling last year that included at least one round of unprotected sex and that’s all it takes to produce a child.


(Remember that, kids. Use protection.)


Tomlinson has since been supportive of Jungwirth and insiders say he plans on playing a role in the baby’s life – but, given these circumstances, it’s still understandable that he may have wanted a paternity test taken.


Jungwirth may not be one of them, but there are plenty of groupies out there who try to trap celebrities via false baby claims.


Moreover, In Touch Weekly writes that Jungwirth (pictured below with her son) was seeing someone else at the time she slept with Tomlinson.



In the end, however, the test came back positive.


Tomlinson is right to celebrate and we’re right to send him our best wishes because he really is a father. Hooray!


Katie Holmes & Jamie Foxx: Planning SECRET Spring Wedding?!

Earlier this month, photos surfaced of Katie Holmes sporting a diamond on her left ring finger, leading many fans to believe it was an engagement ring… from Jamie Foxx.



Rumors of a secret relationship between the Dawson’s Creek star and the Oscar winner have been floating around for about two years now, though neither have confirmed.


And now, a source tells OK! magazine that the two are planning a secret spring wedding to seal the deal on their secret engagement.


The nuptials will allegedly take place on Foxx’s estate in Hidden Hills, Calif. and will be limited to family. 


Celeb Dirty Laundry speculates that Holmes’ daughter Suri, 10, and Foxx’s daughter Annalise, 6, who have become fast besties, will serve as flower girls. 


Will Tom Cruise, Foxx’s good friend and Holmes’ ex-husband, be best man? Uh, doubtful. 


But then again, this story is so outlandish, you never know.


The site also speculates that a baby may be already on the way for the couple, because why not throw that into the mix? Love and marriage have GOT to mean babies, right?


So, this is exciting! How could we not have seen this?


Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx have been involved in a secret two-year love affair then got secretly engaged and are now having a secret wedding and a secret baby together!


They will live together in blissful, matrimonial secrecy and never let anyone in on their clandestine union until their disgruntled, rebellious child writes a tell-all book announcing it to the world. 


And we’ll all say, “OMG, WE KNEW IT!”


If it sounds like we’re skeptical, well, maybe just a tad.


Of course, Katie was in a sham marriage with the world’s most famous Scientologist for years, so really, anything is possible.
