Jinger Duggar: Are Her Sisters Mad About Her Courtship?!

If you watched last night’s episode of Counting On, then you witnessed a rare sight:




An openly annoyed Duggar.


Yes, during a camping trip that was intended to strengthen the bonds of sisterhood, Jinger Duggar’s siblings got noticeably ticked that she was clearly more concerned about spending time apart from her fiance than she was with spending time with her family.


Okay, maybe “noticeably ticked” is too strong a description.


They got mildly annoyed and handled it in classic Duggar fashion – by passive-aggressivley laughing it off.


“I don’t know how long Jinger’s going to last without cell service, but it’s good to have her back,” Joy-Anna giggled at one point.


Not exactly the kind of heated confrontation that you might find on other reality shows, but Jinger picked up on her sisters’ concerns nonetheless.



At one point, she acknowledged that her preoccupation with Jeremy Vuolo might be “driving people nuts,” but she rationalized it thusly:


“It’s just when you’re in love, everybody knows about it.”


Yeah, we suppose that’s true.


But it doesn’t mean you have to rub everyone’s noses in it.


Obviously, Jinger deserves some slack.


She’s young, and she just started courting Jeremy a few months ago.


And for the most part her siblings seem happy for her.


But we can’t help but think that there’s an occasional twinge of jealousy or resentment – especially from her older, still unattached sister.



Yes, despite those hilarious rumors that she’s courting Tim Tebow, Jana Duggar remains single.


At 26, she’s the oldest Duggar girl, and while she’s known for her easy-going demeanor, it can’t be easy for her to watch her sisters get married off while she’s stuck at home helping her parents raise their many, many other kids.


The situation has led to Jana being dubbed “the Cinderella Duggar,” and it’s made her an underdog favorite among fans.


But as the third of her younger sisters prepares to walk down the aisle, will Jana finally begin to show signs of strain?


Doubtful.


She didn’t earn her reputation as the Duggar with the most unbreakable perma-grin by showing signs of emotion.


Watch Counting On online to decide for yourself if Jinger’s sisters are happy for her – or mildly annoyed.

Abby Lee Miller: Sentencing Delayed!

Abby Lee Miller’s sentencing will be dragged out a little longer. 


The Dance Moms star pled guilty to bankruptcy fraud in June, but it seems like she’s doing everything in her power to evade going to jail. 


Abby was meant to remain in the country, but she managed to cut a deal to on multiple vacations before her sentencing. 



Yes, she went on at least TEN getaways this summer. Maybe she knows she could be going away for a long time. 


There were some reports saying she could spend 24-30 months behind bars, but her attorneys are trying to find a way for Miller to spend just six months inside. 


Abby will probably be struggling to adjust to the fact that she’s going away. 



Being a prominent reality TV star, it probably makes her even more nervous. 


Things will either go really well on the inside, or really bad. 


That’s even if she gets time in jail. 


If she somehow manages to escape jail, the below GIF would probably sum up her reaction. 



The star will be recognized by other inmates, but she might only serve a fraction of her sentence. 


That seems to be the craze with celebrities when they get sent down. 


Her sentencing was meant to take place on October 11, but it has now been delayed all the way to December 2. 


There’s a good chance there will be more delays down the line. 


It’s delay after delay with this case. 


It’s getting a bit ridiculous that it’s still ongoing. 


If you watch Dance Moms online, you’ll know that Abby is not known for being the nicest person. 



She’s very brutal with her feedback and it has caused multiple arguments throughout the show. 


We have no idea what the heck Lifetime are going to do if Abby really goes to jail. 


The network will be worried that they’ll lose one of their top shows. 



If her stint in the slammer is short, they could use the prison stay as a storyline on the show. 


It would be a ratings bonanza for the network that has so few hits. 


Granted, it would take away from the current formula of the show. 


Miller took to Twitter earlier this week to promote the new season of her reality show. 


She also made it clear she didn’t get to see the show until it aired. 




Abby Lee Miller Tweet



It’s hard to imagine Abby not having a lot of input into the editing process. 


Then again, she isn’t exactly perceived in the best light. 


If there was no drama, there would be no show. 


Abby arguing with the moms on the show has got to be the best part. 


She really has no filter when people talk smack about her.


What do you think will happen?

Gavin Rossdale and Elin Nordegren: Random New Couple Alert!

While Gwen Stefani is all loved up with Blake Shelton, her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale is dipping his toes back in the dating pool.



It’s unlikely anyone would have guessed who Rossdale would date next, because they would have been way off the mark.


A fellow musician? Nope.


A model? Maybe…but no.


Rossdale went on his first date with Tiger Woods’ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, according to Us Weekly.  


The date, which took place in L.A., went so well that they’re already planning the next.


Nordegren is based in Florida, but “flies to L.A. on her private plane a lot,” a source told the publication.  She has a daughter, Sam, 9, and son, Charlie, 10, with Woods, while Rossdale has three boys – Kingston, 10, Zuma, 8, and Apollo,2 – with ex-wife, Gwen Stefani.


Set up by mutual friends, both Nordegren and Rossdale “want to make it work.”


Nordegren married Woods in 2004, then divorced him 2010 after he confessed to a string of affairs.  The Swedish-born Nordegren walked away with a settlement on $ 100 million.



Prior to her date with Rossdale, Nordegren was in a relationship with on-again/off-again boyfriend Chris Cline, whom she was spotted skiing with back in March.  


Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik and his wife, Mia are responsible for setting Nordegren up with Woods after they brought her to the U.S.A. to work as their nanny in 2001.


At first, Nordegren couldn’t be bothered with Woods, despite his A-List status.


“Being famous, the whole celebrity thing, she really and truly does not care about that,” Mia said of Nordegren in 2004.


When the young couple’s marriage began to crumble, Jesper expressed regret over setting Nordegren up with Woods.



“I’m kind of filled with sorrow for Elin since me and my wife are at fault for hooking her up with him, and we probably thought he was a better guy than he is,” Jesper told the Golf Channel.


Welp, Nordegren is about to emark on another magical journey with yet another (alleged) womanizer.  


I love Gavin, but he’s infamous for being unable to keep it in his pants.


Amanda Stanton: Check Out Josh Murray"s Engagement Ring!

Those who watch Bachelor in Paradise online were treated to an impressive display of true love and affection on Tuesday night.


Three of the four final couples actually got engaged.



That’s an impressive 75% success rate! For now at least!


This included Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton, who had been sleeping in the same bed for most of the show and whose fate seemed the most apparent to loyal viewers.


Prior to popping life’s most important question, though, Murray expressed some hesitation, taking a slight shot at Andi Dorfman when he told the camera:


“On the day I was proposing last time, I definitely had reservations and I definitely don’t want to make the mistakes I made in the past.”


(For the record: Dorfman selected Murray as her winner on The Bachelorette, only for that relationship to fall apart in spectacular fashion.)


But Murray pushed back his fears, told Amanda she was “the best woman in the world” and asked her to be his wife.


Stanton giddily accepted.


“You’re the sweetest. You’re perfect. You’re, like, my dream guy,” she told him.



So there we have it.


Another perfect match set up by The Bachelor franchise, right? No way do these two break up in just a few weeks.


Shortly after Murray and Stanton continued to gush over each other on the Bachelor in Paradise after-show, Amanda hopped on social media and gave followers a close look at her engagement ring.


It’s a a square-cut diamond center stone, set in platinum with a pavé diamond band. It’s approximately three carats total and costs about $ 85,000.


Of course, we doubt Murray actually paid of it.


Jeweler Neil Lane made numerous appearances on Bachelor in Paradise last night, likely exchanging that promotion for a few free rings.


Here is a close-up of the one Josh placed on Amanda’s finger:



“We’re excited to just be out, let everyone know we’re engaged and just enjoy our lives,” Murray said on ABC Tuesday evening.


“I am extremely happy – I couldn’t be more grateful, to be honest with you. … We are so happy.”


Stanton, of course, has two daughters, a fact that Murray admitted at certain points caused him some hesitation.


But “they love him,” Amanda said on the after-show of her girls.



Murray got engaged to Andi Dorfman in the Bachelorette season 10 finale that aired in 2014; the pair then split in January of 2015.


In her memoir, “It’s Not Okay,” Dorfman wrote that her involvement with Murray was “the most volatile and f-cked up relationship of my life.”


Murray has since claimed he was depicted and described in a “false way” by his former fiancee.


In other words: he brings plenty of quasi marital baggage into this new relationship. But Stanton seems aware of it at least.


Stanton, meanwhile, finalized her divorce from ex-husband Nick Buonfiglia in June 2015. 


Do you think Murray and Stanton have what it takes to survive?


Or are we looking at yet another couple set up by producers that has zero chance of making it down the aisle?



While you’re here and we’re talking The Bachelor, why not relive some of the show’s most memorable and shocking moments?
