Alexi Lalas: Team USA Soccer Players Should Be Required to Stand

Kneeling for the national anthem ain’t exactly an epidemic … but those protests got no place on Team USA — so says American soccer legend Alexi Lalas.  We got Lalas at LAX … and the former USMNT star told TMZ Sports where…

Jinger Duggar & Jeremy Vuolo: Moving to SCOTLAND?!

Shortly after she married Jeremy Vuolo in November of 2016, Jinger Duggar became the first of her father’s daughters to permanently relocate from her native Arkansas.


Jinger and Jeremy moved to Laredo, Texas after their wedding, and it’s been said that Jim Bob Duggar was less than thrilled by that development.


So we’re guessing he’s really not too happy about what the couple may have in store next.



Last week, Jeremy got fans buzzing with a tweet about a potential career change.


Linking to a post about a job opening at an organization called Banner of Truth, Vuolo tweeted the following: 


“Ahhhhh!!! I told you this was my dream job.”


The ecstatic tone led fans to believe that Vuolo had already accepted the position.


Which is interesting, because it would require him to move to Edinburgh, Scotland.


Banner of Truth’s Twitter page describes it as “a Christian organisation which publishes books, organises conferences, and publishes a monthly magazine. You are what you read.”



Currently, Vuolo works as a preacher, and he’s been vocal about his passion for theological research, so it’s not hard to see why the position of editorial assistant at a Christian publishing company would appeal to him.


According to the Banner of Truth website, the job would have Vuolo directly involved in the publication of faith-based books and periodicals:


“The successful candidate will be involved in all aspects of the editorial work, from early manuscript development, to detailed editing, proofing, and page design,” the description reads.


It’s still unclear if Vuolo has accepted or even applied for the job, but fans are speculating that such a move would outrage Jim Bob for a number of reasons.


For starters, if Jim Bob was displeased when Jeremy and Jinger relocated to Texas, we’re guessing he’d really be angry if they up and moved across the pond.



On top of that, Jim Bob and Jeremy differ in their religious beliefs to the extent that Jim Bob was hesitant about giving his daughter permission to marry Vuolo.


It seems the primary point of contention is the fact that Jeremy is a Calvinist, a belief system that fliest in the face of much that Jim Bob holds dear.


Though the movement began in France, Scotland is considered to the the epicenter of modern Calvinism, a designation that Jim Bob is no doubt very much aware of.


A move to Scotland would send a strong message to Jim Bob from both Jeremy and Jinger, who’s been openly rebelling against some of the draconian strictures of her childhood ever since she became a Vuolo.


It’s impossible to predict how Jim Bob would respond, but it will certainly be interesting to see how all of this plays out.

The Bachelorette Season 14: Who Could It Be?


If nothing else, the selection of Arie Luyendyk Jr. to play the leading man on The Bachelor shows that anyone can be in that role. Seriously, anyone.


But who will fill Rachel Lindsay"s shoes in the next season of The Bachelorette?


Obviously, we don"t expect to know right away. And there"s always a chance that a few viable candidates will emerge from among the contestants on Arie"s season of The Bachelor.


That doesn"t mean that we can"t consider the possibilities, though. Because the Bachelor Nation has some very strong candidates already.


Some of these women are beloved by the Bachelor Nation. Others are … we don"t want to say reviled, but they don"t necessarily foster warm feelings with potential viewers. We shouldn"t dismiss their entertainment value, however.


So let"s look at who it might be!


Of course, since showrunners apparently chose Arie Luyendyk Jr. in part because they worried that it was too easy for fans to guess who would be next, maybe we"re disqualifying all of these ladies just by mentioning their names.


We hope not.




1. Kristina Schulman

This girl won a lot of sympathy on Bachelor in Paradise during her love triangle with Dean Unglert. While his reputation sunk, her star has never been brighter. Should she become the Bachelorette?



2. Vanessa Grimaldi

You might be thinking that they’d never cast Vanessa, because she and Nick only JUST broke up. Well, Arie Luyendyk Jr. had a girlfriend until just a couple of days before he was announced as the Bachelor. The real question is, since Rachel Lindsay was just the Bachelorette, would they have two leading ladies back-to-back who hate each other?



3. Corinne Olympios

Hear us out on this one. The scandal on Bachelor in Paradise this summer wasn’t her fault or DeMario’s. She’s still entertaining and seeing her be the Bachelorette would be the stuff of dreams. She has a heart of gold and a platimun vagine — literally what more could you ask for? Plus, there’s a chance that she’s already in talks for it.



4. Ashley Iaconetti

She’s been on The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise and she knows how to stay relevant even between seasons. Some might question her star power, but she could very well have what it takes to be the leading lady.l



5. Andi Dorfman


Andi dorfman beautiful and fun

“But she was already The Bachelorette!” Yes. But, especially given that it resulted in a tumultuous relationship with Josh Murray, doesn’t she deserve another bite at the apple?



6. Amanda Stanton

Amanda dismissed the idea of becoming the Bachelorette, but … that could be a deliberate deflection. She’s gorgeous, she’s a mom, and she’d be great in that role.
