Jessa Duggar to Joy-Anna Duggar: CONGRATULATIONS!

The Duggars are officially set to welcome yet another family member.

Which of these reality stars is pregnant now, you may be wondering? No one, at least not as of this writing.

But Joy-Anna Duggar is engaged to Austin Forsyth, with the 19-year old daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle confirming the exciting news herself just a few days ago.

"We just got engaged!" Joy-Anna told Us Weekly in early March. "I’m so excited to be engaged to my best friend."

The two have known each other for 15 years, but only just started courting in mid-November.

"I"m so excited to be engaged because that means the next step is marriage," Joy-Anna added, explaining the engagement concept for those unaware of how it works and adding:

"I’m excited to see what the future holds for us!"

And Joy-Anna isn"t the only Duggar who feels this way.

Jessa Duggar and husband Ben Seewald recorded a sweet video last night to congratulate Jim Bob and Michelle"s fifth-oldest daughter on her new relationship status.

“Hey, Joy and Austin, congratulations,” Ben says in the clip, which features him holding 16-month old son Spurgeon and Jessa cradling one-month hold son Henry.

Jessa then directs her attention to Joy-Anna and Austin, who are even holding hands now, and chimes in as follows:

“We’re super excited for y’all getting engaged, and we are looking forward to the big day – your wedding day. The little boys say congratulations too."

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard had previously sent well wishes to the engaged couple via their own TLC-produced video.

"Hey Joy and Austin, congratulations. We just heard the good news on the engagement,” Derick says in that piece of footage.

"Yeah, we’re so excited for you all!" Jill adds.

Check out Jessa and Ben"s video below and then send along your own congratulatory message to Joy-Anna and the man she may one day kiss now!

The Bachelor Recap: And Then There Were Two!

You don’t need The Bachelor spoilers to tell you that Nick Viall’s journey for love reached its tipping point on this penultimate episode.

With Season 21 of The Bachelor escalating toward its conclusion next Monday, who was eliminated and who advanced to the finale?

Watch The Bachelor Season 21 Episode 10 Online

On The Bachelor Season 21 Episode 10, you knew we’d start with the burning question, the resumption of the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers:

Did Nick make Raven Gates orgasm or no?

We were spared any graphic details, but when Raven and Nick woke up in Finland after a night in the Fantasy Suite, she said the following:

“Nick is really good at what he does.”

“So I’m pretty satisfied today.”

There you have it. Would you expect anything else from Nick Viall, given his level of experience with the winner of The Bachelor franchise?

Next up is Rachel Lindsay, who was announced as The Bachelorette weeks ago, so we knew at some point, she and Nick would split.

This made for an interesting dynamic, especially with Rachel seeming to be on cloud nine in Finland with Nick. Would the other shoe drop?

“You’re rare. And refreshing,” she tells him, beside herself that she’s still on the show with a guy she considers so amazing right now? 

“I might be white, but I’m still a minority,” he says.

Well then. He has a way with words, that Nick.

“Rachel, I am falling for you,” he says, making the inevitable breakup that much worse for Lindsay and her fans at home “100 percent.” 

One hundred percent? Was Vanessa at 110?

Speaking of whom, Vanessa Grimaldi spent much of her romantic date with Nick in an ice bath, because this dude needs a cold shower.

We kid, but he kind of does, are we wrong?

“If we can do this together, we can do anything,” Vanessa says, in a cliche that makes kind of no sense in this context, but we digress.

Shortly thereafter, Vanessa asks Nick about moving to Canada, and this proud American has a difficult time visualizing that scenario:

“Your family’s so traditional. I’m not.” 

Nevertheless, it’s Fantasy Suite time soon enough, and it presumably goes well, because Nick is crying later … that he has to cut someone.

Much as we make fun of the man, and the show, it can’t be easy when one of the three women who did nothing wrong has to get dumped.

Who would it be? As The Bachelor spoilers predicted, Raven Gates gets the first rose from Nick, and Vanessa Grimaldi gets the second.

There was no twist. Rachel is going home.

She’s crushed, and a little surprised, but for the most part, she holds it together as he walks her out into the snow where the limo awaits.

Fortunately, so does her second chance.

If you watch The Bachelor online, you also saw the way she conducted herself on the Women Tell All special, and know Rachel is wonderful.

Here’s hoping that fact, and the extensive time ABC has spent promoting her season in advance, pays off with a great list of contestants.

Ben Carson Said WHAT About Slaves?!?!?!?!?!?!?

In his first official speech as Housing and Urban Development Secretary, Ben Carson made a few controversial remarks while addressing HUD employees in Washington, D.C. on Monday.

What sort of controversial remarks?

The sort that make you wonder how Carson has lasted this long as a human being…

… let alone how he was confirmed as a member of a Presidential administration.

"That"s what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity," Carson said as part of his rambling speech, adding:

"There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less.

"But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."

You may want to read that second sentence again. And maybe again after that.

Because Ben Carson really did refer to slaves – the same slaves who were violently snatched from their homes, chained up, tossed into a ship and then forced to do a white person"s bidding – as "immigrants" who wanted to come to America and who simply worked hard for a low wage.

Shortly after the video below went viral, celebrities jumped on Twitter in shock and the opposite of awe.

“Ben Carson..please read or watch Roots, most immigrants come here VOLUNTARILY, cant"t really say the same about the slaves..they were stolen,” Whoopi Goldberg wrote in response, while Samuel L. Jackson added:

“OK!! Ben Carson….I can"t! Immigrants ? In the bottom of SLAVE SHIPS??!! MUTHAFUKKA PLEASE!!! #dickheadedtom."

We know it"s difficult to believe that anyone would utter these words.

But it really happened!
