Tim McGraw Reveals the 'Secret' Behind His Happy Marriage to Faith Hill

Post by Jenny Erikson.

Tim McGraw, Faith HillTim McGraw got real recently when asked what his secret to a long and happy marriage was. He's been married to fellow country superstar Faith Hill for 18 years, and in celebrity world that's basically forever. McGraw knows that it takes work for any marriage to endure, and it's especially true when you're in show business and everyone is all up in your business.

The singer sat down with E! News recently to dish about his 13th studio album Sundown Heaven Town, but what we're really interested in is how he and Faith manage to keep the love in their marriage after all these years (and three kids!) together.

When asked what he thought the reason was behind his and Faith's happy marriage, he responded with the sweetest answer ever. "I got a great wife," he replied without hesitation. "That's the main thing."

Awww! You know what they say, happy wife equals happy life, and it's obvious that Tim likes to make sure his woman knows she's appreciated.

He also talked about the importance of family, and not letting the glitz and glitter of show biz get in the way of their home life.

"I think, for us, being as normal as possible and raising our family and being in a family situation as much as possible," he said. "Certainly it's different because of what we both do, but we try to keep it as much of a family environment that we can."

"And most of the time ... we try to make that the priority and the primary time that we spend," he continued. "For us, we leave the front doors when we go to work, but when we're home, we don't talk about none of the music that much ... It's a whole different world."

It sounds like this couple really has their priorities straight. They don't try to pretend like the careers they've chosen don't lead to special relationship challenges that us commonfolk don't have to deal with -- they do their best to keep them at bay and keep their focus on their family. 

Do you think celebrities have it harder when it comes to relationship challenges?

Justin Bieber Rudely Tells Fans to 'Calm Down'

justin bieberThere aren't many people who love Justin Bieber's 'stache. Selena Gomez may be one of them. Personally I think it makes he look older. More mature. Goodbye baby face, hello little stray hairs growing above your upper lip. The Biebs also seems to threatens to shave it often, but it keeps reappearing. 

And so when he posted a new picture of himself with a full 'stachio, he got a little mouthy, too. Bieber told his fans to "calm down." A bit rude, don't you think?

Smart mouth there, Biebs. Calm down. Hmm. Maybe it's just me, but I can't believe Justin is old enough to grow a moustache. No offense, Justin. I know you are. But maybe you will just be eternally 16 to me. Maybe this is what this is all about. A little rebellion. A little "hey look at me, I'm a man. I have tattoos and can grow a moustache. You all need to take me seriously."

Fair enough. If I tried to put myself in Bieber's shoes maybe I would understand. I also don't mind the moustache. Calm down though ... okay. Will do.


What do you think of Justin's moustache? Do you think he was a little too harsh by telling fans to calm down?

'Desperate Housewives' and 'Sopranos' Actress Polly Bergen Dead at 84

Polly BergenCelebrated actress Polly Bergen died of natural causes on Saturday, September 20. The Broadway star also made a name for herself on the screen -- both big and small -- and had a career that spanned decades.

According to reports, she was surrounded by family and close friends at her Southbury, Connecticut home. She was 84 years old.

The actress and singer was best known for playing terrorized wife Peggy Bowden in the original Cape Fear in 1962, and her portrayal as the first woman president in 1964's Kisses for My President.

More recently, Bergen captured a new generation of fans by playing Felicity Huffman's mother on Desperate Housewives, and Tony Soprano's late father's past mistress on The Sopranos.

The Emmy winner's last big role was playing Chris Colfer's grandmother in his movie Struck By Lightening in 2012. The Glee star took to social media on Saturday after he heard the news, to pay tribute to his friend and co-star.

Alongside a vintage picture of Bergen looking glamorous and gorgeous, Colfer wrote, "Farewell to my dear friend, Polly. I'm so blessed to have had you in my life. No one could make me smile or laugh like you. I will miss you with all my heart. 'Grandma' for a movie, but family for life."

It's obvious Bergen touched lives everywhere she went, and more than accomplished her goal of making it in show biz. She said in a 2001 interview, "I was fanatically ambitious ... all I ever wanted to be was a star. I didn't want to be a singer. I didn't want to be an actress. I wanted to be a star."

What's your favorite Polly Bergen role?

Post by Lisa Fogarty.

As if Jessica Simpson doesn't have enough going on with two children under the age of 3, she decided to spend this weekend debuting a new clothing line she created for Nordstrom. And Jess is no fool -- she knows darn well the best model she has is the one living under her roof -- her 2-year-old cutie, Maxwell.

The singer-turned-clothing-designer proved she has been blessed with a strong family unit. Her husband Eric Johnson, Maxwell, and her little brother Ace, 14 months, joined Jess on the red carpet at an event celebrating her new line -- and Maxwell totally rocked one of her mom's adorable new frocks.

Jessica's line includes everything from sweet fit and flare dresses to fitted jeans to faux fur vests. But the lovely lady has also mastered children's wear -- my mom bought my daughter a Jessica Simpson candy cane-striped ruffled bikini that is to die for -- and she would be smart to start employing Maxwell as her mannequin immediately. Check out this cuteness:

Do they not have the same exact smile? They're mirror images of one another!

And here's the entire beautiful clan looking happy and totally supportive of mom:

We know that all kids are cute, but you have to admit: Jessica's family is amazingly, ridiculously, beyond cute-cute.

Do you think Jessica will let her daughter model her children's clothing when she gets a bit older?

Prince William Calls Daddy Duty 'Hectic'

Post by Michele Zipp.

prince william george kateOur favorite royal couple is expecting baby number two, and poor Kate Middleton has been experiencing quite the bout of morning sickness. I can relate -- I had that all day long when I was pregnant. So of course Prince William being the prince that he is has stepped up his daddy duty to give Kate a break until she starts to feel better.

He's also stepping in for her other Princess duties as well.

Kate was supposed to visit the Agenzija Appogg Youth Club in Malta to speak with students, but had to cancel because she wasn't feeling very well. Prince William stepped in for her and that's when he met 17-year-old Janet Desira who was studying child care. "You can come and do some babysitting for me," the Prince told her. "He's busy. They're very hectic at that age." Prince George is now 14 months old. And he's just started pulling himself up and walking so that's when things really do start to get more hectic.

When Mama is sick, it's all on Daddy, and that seems to be exactly the kind of pressure William is feeling right now. Who are we kidding? When Mama is sick, Mama is still doing just about everything. Except flying to Malta, I suppose.

But are you sensing a little bit of stress when the Prince noted right away that he could use a babysitter? I think we can all sympathize. Feel better, Kate! Hang in there, William.

Do you think Kate and William have a lot of hired help? Or do they seem like hands-on parents?

kendall jennerThe beautiful Kendall Jenner has been making her mark in the modeling world, most recently she walked the runway during Fashion Week, It was during that time that she was reportedly bullied by other models who put cigarettes out in her drink. Disgusting. And cruel.

But one supermodel has shown great support for Kendall -- it's just the kind of camaraderie a young model needs.

That's Alessandra Ambrosio, most famous for her work with Victoria's Secret. Alessandra posted this pic with the caption: "With the beautiful @kendalljenner #backstage at the @bottegaveneta show #milanfashionweek !"

This is exactly the kind of support Kendall needed after being bullied. I love that Alessandra posted this. I really hope there aren't any more incidents for Kendall. Whatever happened seemed to happen out of jealousy. Some feel the Kardashian sister's rise in the modeling industry is thanks to her famous family. But she sure walks the runway beautifully and designers are hiring her. Let's wish her the best.

What do you think of Alessandra showing support for Kendall?

The Bachelorette's Trista Sutter LOVES her hubby Ryan -- whom, you may recall, she actually met and chose ON the show back in 2003. And she doesn't just adore him, she knows him really well -- which is the vital ingredient needed to select perfect birthday presents.

It seems like only yesterday these two were crazy kids who met and fell in love on TV. But Ryan recently celebrated his 40th birthday and the Colorado firefighter got the surprise of his life when Trista treated him to one heck of an amazing birthday gift.

You won't find Ryan driving around in a flashy car or sporting the latest tech gadget. Instead, Trista arranged an elaborate family and friends camping trip for her sporty husband at Twin Lakes, Colorado.

The 41-year-old mom says staying in a new Airstream RV with kids Maxwell, 7, and Blakesley, 5, was a "dream come true" for Ryan. And she took to Instagram to prove they had a blast:

Is it any wonder this couple is in incredible shape considering they're out there biking, hiking, and enjoying the great outdoors?

Oh my goodness -- cuteness! And little Blakesley's boots are fantastic.

Trista also posted this delish-looking cake, along with the sweetest message in the world: "40 yrs ago today, the world welcomed the man who continues to show me the true meaning of love. On your 40th birthday, I wish for you the kind of love & friendship & support that you have so lovingly shown me & our 2 beautiful babies for your next 40 years & beyond!!! Ilu @ryansutter"

I loved this couple when they got together more than 10 years ago and I'm so happy for them that they've managed to create a successful union with two beautiful children.

What do you think of Trista's gift for Ryan? What are some other great 40th birthday presents?

Miley CyrusI suppose it all started a few days ago, when Miley Cyrus posted an adorable photo of herself as a small child on Instagram. She appears to be rolling her eyes back in her head so far that she might have a good idea what the inside of her skull looks like. She captioned it simply, "Exactly."

But then on Saturday, the singer posted a series of her most shocking selfies, with that sweet little girl's face photoshopped over her grownup face. Sure, it's the same person ... but the results are ... disturbing.

Here's the original photo. Sweet, huh?

[code][/code]

Then there's this one, captioned, "hoochie coochie."

[code][/code]

Remember when she spoofed Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" cover art? Would that make this picture a spoof of a spoof?

[code][/code]

Oh Lord. Have mercy.

[code][/code]

I just can't even with this one. It's not child pornography, of course, but it's still ... it's ... let's go with inappropriate. Yeah, that word works. See also, disturbing, unsettling, disconcerting, creepy, discomforting, and just icky. And that's without even consulting my thesaurus.

'Real Housewives of New Jersey' Recap: Jacqueline Laurita Gets Big-Time Diss From Teresa Giudice

Post by Nicole Fabian-Weber.

jacqueline laurita

Whoa, lots of things happening on Sunday night's episode of RHONJ. To begin with, Amber Marchese, thankfully, found out that everything was okay with her bloodwork and her health is good, so that was a big relief. But then we had two more plotlines, if you will: Dina Manzo (almost) spilling the beans about hearing that Teresa Aprea's husband, Rino, cheated on her with her mother; and the return of Jacqueline Laurita.

Sh*t's about to get real, people.

Let's start off with Jacqueline. Many of us knew that the original RHONJ cast member was going to be returning to the show since it was all over the Internet, but I, personally, was under the impression that it wasn't going to happen until Teresa and Joe's trial (which Bravo will be filming) in a couple of weeks. In Sunday's ep, though, we got a little sneak peak of Jacqueline and found out that she reached out to Teresa after she was indicted. Jacqueline read Kathy Wakile a long, heartfelt text message that she sent Teresa ... as well as the super curt response Tre sent back. It sort of sounded like Jacqueline was willing to put all of their differences behind them in order to be there for Teresa when she was down, but Teresa wanted no part of it. Or, as Kathy said, maybe she just wasn't ready.

It isn't exactly a surprise that Teresa responded to Jacqueline's text the way she did, being that she's never been one to easily forgive, and, clearly, she hates seeming vulnerable, but it's kind of sad. She and Jacqueline were good friends at one point, and it probably wouldn't be the worst thing in the world right now for Teresa to have an extra friend or two to vent to. But, whatevs. Classic Teresa.

Then there was Dina and Teresa Aprea. Whilst in Florida for a little sun and fun, Dina, for whatever reason, felt that she ought to tell Teresa that Amber and Teresa Giudice heard that her husband hooked up with her mother. But before she could get anything out, Teresa asked Dina if what she was about to say had anything to do with her family. When Dina said, "Yes," Teresa immediately said that she didn't want to know ... which obviously leads many of us to believe that she knew exactly where Dina was going, and Rino did in fact cheat on her with her mom. Gross!

It looks like we're going to learn a lot more next week when things seem to come to a head, but what I want to know is: Why was Dina, more or less, placing a good portion of the blame on Amber when Amber never opened her mouth to her? Yes, she (weirdly) talked about it to Teresa Giudice last week, but Teresa Giudice was the one who said something to Dina. Why isn't she the one getting blamed?

Like I said, it seems like we'll find out a lot next week, but man, talk about drama. I feel bad for all the ladies who are going to get caught in the crossfire, but it's about time. I was starting to get seriously bored with this season. Bring on the drams!

What did you think of tonight's episode? Do you think Rino hooked up with Teresa's mom?

Khloe Kardashian's BFF May Have Sent 'Inappropriate Texts' to French Montana

Post by Nicole Fabian-Weber.

khloe kardashian malika haqq

Anyone who's ever seen Keeping Up With the Kardashians knows that Khloe's BFF isMalika Haqq. Malika, who once had a flirty relationship with Khloe's brother Rob, has always been there for Khloe and was even one of the few bridesmaids in her wedding to Lamar. But now it looks like there may be trouble in paradise with the besties: According to reports, Khloe caught Malika and French Montana texting and that's the real reason behind the couple's breakup.

A source told gossip website Media Takeout that, after growing suspicious of his behavior, Khloe broke into French's phone and found numerous inappropriate texts exchanged between he and Malika. "That's why they broke up," the insider said. But, apparently the discovery (if it's true) isn't going to affect Khloe's relationship with her friend of years. "Khloe has been down with Malika since forever," the source said. "They have the kind of friendship that even if Malika was f*cking Khloe's man, they'd still be friends. Besides, I don't think Khloe was into [French Montana] like that." Oh. Okay.

Who knows how much of this story is true, but it is a little curious that, shortly after the news broke,Malika Instagramed the message, "We cannot change our past...We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we have, and that is our attitude." The 'gram, of course, could pertain to anything, but the timing of it is a little strange.

I doubt we'll ever get the full story of what's really going on here -- and I wouldn't be surprised if this was another publicity stunt, compliments of Kris Jenner -- but I'm having a little bit of a difficult time buying this story hook, line, and sinker. Not only has Malika always seemed like a nice person and good friend to Khloe -- French Montana? Really? It was hard enough to see what Khloe saw in this guy; how is it that two women would be into him at the same time? Just ... no.

Do you think Malika was texting French behind Khloe's back?

Kourtney Kardashian Shares Weird Prenatal Beauty Secret (PHOTO)

The minute Kourtney Kardashian announced her third pregnancy, her glow was unmistakable. Kourtney, like most women, has always looked extra beautiful during her pregnancies, but there's something different about this one: She looks, well ... unbelievable. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star's hair has been incredibly shiny this go 'round; her skin extra dewy; and she just looks so happy. She's like the poster child for the pregnancy glow.

Of course, when you're Kourtney Kardashian and are drop dead gorgeous to begin with -- and have got boatloads of money (and ample free time) to boot -- it isn't the hardest thing in the word to look amazing when you've got a bun in your oven. But if she's willing to share one of her (unconventional) prenatal beauty secrets -- hey, we're listening.

Kourtney recently posted a photo to Instagram the healthy smoothie she starts her day off each morning, and while it may not look like the most amazing-tasting concoction in the world, it definitely explains her fantastic complexion:

[code][/code]

It's not exactly surprising that Kourtney's go-to breakfast is a nutrient-packed shake, being that she's a card-carrying health nut (most of the time), but love that she's sharing her ingredients with us. Let's see, we've got flaxseed, bee pollen, dates, rose water, what looks like maca powder, and a semi-rotten banana. Yum? Again, doesn't look particularly appetizing (especially if you're pregnant), but who wouldn't down three of these to get Kourtney's luminous complexion?

Kourtney really seems to be enjoying this pregnancy, which is the opposite of what we heard about her pregnancy with daughter, Penelope. Maybe it's because it's her third baby, so she feels like she can relax and not stress? Or hey -- maybe it's because of these weird shakes? I mean, they certainly can't hurt.

Do you think Kourtney is having a boy or girl?

Colin Farrell Spills the Beans About 'True Detective' Season 2

Colin Farrell True Detective

After all the crazed speculation over who will star in the hugely-anticipated second season of True Detective, it looks like Colin Farrell has let the cat out of the bag. I really would have expected the series creator and HBO to make the announcement, but in an interview with Ireland’s Sunday World over the weekend, Farrell confirmed he's nabbed what must have been one of Hollywood's hottest casting opportunities.

It's hard to imagine anyone filling Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's shoes after they pretty much set our televisions on fire in season one, but I'm excited about seeing what Farrell can do. After a so-so early career, I think roles like his character in In Bruges show he can pull off the gritty, deeply weird True Detective vibe.

I don't know if he spoke out of turn or if this is in fact how HBO decided to officially release the first bit of casting news, but over the weekend Farrell said,

I’m doing the second series. I’m so excited ... I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot. I know very little about it, but we’re shooting in the environs of Los Angeles which is great. It means I get to stay at home and see the kids. These are early days and all the powers that be are working out locations and schedules and trying to lock down the cast.

The reason it's a little odd that he just sort of mentioned it in an interview -- surprise! -- is because there have been so MANY rumors about who will play the lead. Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain, and Christian Bale have all been mentioned at one point or another, along with several other A-listers.

We don't yet know what role Farrell will play, although it's believed he's been cast as the older policeman in a detective trio working to solve the grisly murder of Ben Caspar, a corrupt city councillor whose death leads them into an occult underworld tied to the city's transportation system. The other detectives are a young man and a hard-drinking female, and word on the street is that we may be learning those roles belong to Taylor Kitsch and Elizabeth Moss. (What's the fourth central role? I'm not sure.)

In addition to the new cast and storyline, season two of True Detective will see a changed creative process: while Emmy winner Cary Fukunaga directed all eight episodes of season one, creator Nic Pizzolatto and Fukunaga have confirmed that the new season will feature a few different directors.

It remains to be seen if all these changes will add up to an amazing viewing experience that's distinct but not inferior to season one -- or if we're all going to be savagely disappointed, wishing for the return of Rust Cohle, and crying into our Big Hug mugs. I'm hopeful about the addition of Farrell, though, and I can't wait to see if he's going to be saddled with some of those brilliantly bizarre lines from the first season. After all, things that labor under the illusion of having a self, an accretion of sensory, experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody, right? *inhales cigarette* Also you gotta be able to spot crazy pussy when you need to.

What do you think about Colin Farrell in the next season of True Detective? Yay or nay?

New 'Better Call Saul' Teaser Has Us Dying for More (VIDEO)

Better Call Saul teaser

The diabolical folks at AMC are determined to keep teasing us with the very briefest of glimpses at the upcoming Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul. I can't wait to see a full-length trailer, but since that's not in the cards yet, I'll have to make do with this brand-new clip of Bob Odenkirk in action.

The good news is that it doesn't take much Saul to convince me that I'm going to enjoy seeing this character's return to the small screen. The new 10-second teaser, called “Amen,” shows a younger Saul in a Judge Judy-style courtroom, and he does more with a single throat clear than most actors can do with an entire monologue.

Better Call Saul is scheduled to air in February 2015, and as you know, it's set before Saul began working with Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. In the teasers released so far, Saul's got more hair than he did on Breaking Bad, and it looks like he's working to get clients in his early career as hustling lawyer Jimmy McGill.

The show will be more comedic in tone than Breaking Bad, and you definitely get a feeling for that in this new teaser. Take a look:

See this video on The Stir by CafeMom.

Ahhh, the awkward pause before he asks, "You with me, ladies and gentlemen?" The pitch-perfect throat clear when the room remains silent. Odenkirk was born to play this role, wasn't he?

Odenkirk told E! that while the prequel will have its funny moments, we can definitely expect that it will be more than a goofy sitcom:

Everything is new to me, I didn’t know any of this story about the character. I’m learning a lot about this guy, and everyone’s going to learn a lot about him because it’s all new story. [Executive producers] Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould have brought what everyone loved about Breaking Bad to Better Call Saul, all those cliffhanger moments, the tension, it’s all there and I think the fans are going to be super glad to have that back in their life.

In addition to Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks will be returning as the amazing "fixer" Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad, and the show will also include Michael McKean, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, and Michael Mando. Here's our first look as Michael McKean as Saul's brother Chuck:

Chelsea Houska Reveals a Side We've Never Seen Before

Post by Suzee Skwiot.

teen mom 2 chelsea houskaIf you've been following the up and down love life of Chelsea Houska's ex, Adam Lind, you know that he and his second baby mama, Taylor Halbur, have recently called it quits. But apparently, as we saw on last week's episode of Teen Mom 2, that doesn't mean that Taylor and Aubree, Chelsea's daughter, are done spending time together.

Apparently, during Adam's weekend with Aubree, he brought his daughter over to Taylor's home, where she took a picture with Chelsea's daughter and posted to social media. Chelsea, understandably, was not too happy to see pics of her adorable kiddo up online with her ex's ex. Still following? So rightfully, she called Taylor out on it. And one week after the episode aired, she's still not backing down from her stance.

You go, girl!

Chelsea apparently got a lot of flak for how she handled the situation, so she took to Twitter to let everyone know what's up. And we completely love it.

People before: "oh my god, Chelsea has no back bone" blah blah People now: "oh my god, Chelsea is being such a bitch" blah BLAH

— Chelsea Houska (@ChelseaHouska) September 18, 2014

Girl just can't win, can she? Damned if you do, damned if you don't, amirite?

She even followed up with this message:

I say how IIIIII feel. Not what others think I should feel. �

— Chelsea Houska (@ChelseaHouska) September 18, 2014

Clearly, she's let some things go, and hasn't wanted to start confrontations with Adam or his other ladies before. This time around, that resolve broke. Is she being a "bitch?" Um. No.

Good for her for standing up! It was great to see Chelsea defend herself and her daughter, especially when she even made it so easy: she doesn't care if Aubree and Taylor hang out together, but there's no need to post a picture. Simple as that.

Not a hard rule to follow, and if there's anyone whose rules should be obeyed, it's mama's.

Do you agree with Chesea's reaction to Taylor's picture?

Kim Kardashian's Stance on Spanking Isn't What We Expected

Post by Kiri Blakeley.

Kim KardashianDespite the fact that Kim Kardashian has had her mothering skills criticized since the birth of North, especially since she travels so much and often without her daughter, you just know that Kim is an indulgent mother. Can you imagine her saying no to Nori about anything? Or Kanye for that matter? So you know they're not going to spank her -- just, no way.

A source told RadarOnline:

Kim and Kanye decided before North was born there would be no spanking, ever. It’s not how they want to raise their daughter. As North gets older, and when she acts up, there will be time outs, taking away a favorite toy, but absolutely no physical discipline.

I don't believe in physical discipine, so I agree with this, however it IS easy to promise when Nori is still so young. What about when she's a toddler and screaming, yelling, throwing tantrums? Oh wait, then Daddy will join her! Haha.

I hope that Kim and Kanye at least do discipline her, and she doesn't grow up to be a total spoiled brat -- but there's a decent chance she will. The source continued:

North will be given clear boundaries that a child needs, and there will be consequences that won’t involve any hitting or spanking. It’s all about rewarding the positive behavior, and dealing with the naughty tantrums with patience and love.

Hmm. Sounds too good to be true, but let's hope so.

Meanwhile, it's a good thing Kim never settled down with Reggie Bush, because he recently admitted that he "harshly" disciplines his one-year-old daughter -- though he tries not to leave bruises on her. Gee, thanks, Dad.

I definitely prefer Kim and Kanye's version of parenting. Pro-spankers be damned.

Do you think they should spank North?

Jenelle Evans' Bragging About Baby Kaiser May Come Back to Bite Her

Jenelle EvansJenelle Evans had better knock on wood -- and fast. The Teen Mom 2 star has had a much different mothering experience with Kaiser than she did with her firstborn Jace (i.e. she's actually parenting him instead of relying on her mom Barbara Evans to raise him) so maybe she isn't aware of the cardinal rule of parenting.

Never ever ever brag about  how much your baby sleeps at night. Jenelle tweeted to her fans on Sunday about Kaiser's sleep schedule, and apparently the two-month old gets enough shut eye to make any mom jealous.

Kai is now on a great sleeping schedule! 10pm-6/7am for three nights in a row!!! ��� yayayayayayayyyy!

— Jenelle Evans (@PBandJenelley_1) September 21, 2014
[/code]

You guys. That's eight to nine hours. In a row. That's the parenting dream. I mean, I haven't done any scientific studies or anything, but I'm pretty sure less than 0.001 percent of babies consistently sleep through the night at not quite three months old.

Too bad Jenelle broke the rule about bragging on your baby's sleep habits. You know what that means -- Kaiser is going to be up wailing tonight. Babies have a magical way of psyching parents out like that. They'll go three nights in a row, just enough time to let you relax and think the worst of the baby insomnia is over, then bam! Hello, 2 A.M. And 3 A.M. And 4 A.M. You get the picture.

But here's to hoping it's not a fluke, and Kai really has started a new routine of sleeping through the night. We're just not holding our breath is all.

Do you think Jenelle just jinxed herself tweeting about Kaiser's great sleep habits?

It's no secret that Kailyn Lowry is all about breastfeeding her baby son, Lincoln. The Teen Mom star has gotten heat from numerous people in the past about her decision to share breastfeeding photos online and the fact that she nursed her son while he was in his carseat. And now recently, Kailyn got crap again from people when she fed 10-month-old Lincoln during a book signing. Kailyn told Life & Style that, initially, people who were at the signing applauded her decision to nurse Lincoln in public and normalize breastfeeding. But apparently the next day, a whole lot of criticism was lobbed her way via, where else, the Internet.

Kailyn told the mag, "They wrote, 'Oh my God, that’s so disgusting. Why would you do that?'" (Yes, people actually wrote that about a mother nursing her baby.) But Kailyn's response to the haters? "I’m feeding my kid. Who cares?" Kail also added, "I think it’s crazy and unbelievable that anyone would be offended by breastfeeding." Agreed.

Like I said, this certainly isn't the first time Kailyn's been criticized for deciding to nurse her baby in public (or post photos online), but she seems to be on a mission to help educate others on breastfeeding, and, well, feed her baby! I mean, who wouldn't nourish their child if they were hungry -- regardless of where they were?!

One of the biggest take-aways from all of this, though, is the way Kailyn has managed to handle all of the negative comments she's been on the receiving end of. Instead of fueling the fires by going tit for tat with people, she's remained cool, calm, and collected -- and there's something to be said about that. I don't think all Teen Moms would handle things this way.

At the end of the day, nothing anyone says is going to stop Kailyn fron breastfeeding her son where and when she wants to. So, if people want to hate, let them hate. Clearly, it's no skin off her back.

What do you think of Kailyn nursing in public?

sean loweAfter watching Sean Lowe romance two dozen women on The Bachelor, it's hard seeing him as much else. However, the reality star is primed to prove that he is so much more. His next big gig? It's not starring on Couples Therapy (like Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell) nor does it seem he's headed back to a career as an insurance salesman. Now Sean is has become ...

 ... an aspiring New York Times Bestseller. That's the right. The reality star has penned the memoir For the Right Reasons: America's Favorite Bachelor on Faith, Love, Marriage, and Why Nice Guys Finish First.

sean loweYou can probably guess what it's about. He goes into detail about his journey to true love, offering bits of advice along the way for all those lovelorn fans out there. He also takes readers behind the scenes of the television show that made him famous. Though, I wouldn't expect any big sexy reveals like that of Courtney Robertson, who dished on having sex in the ocean with Ben Flajnik in her tell-all I Didn't Come Here to Make Friends: Confessions of a Reality Show Villian. However, it still may be an interesting read if you are a die hard fan of Sean. He also shares details about being sent home on The Bachelorette, what it was like on Dancing With the Stars, and what it was like to have a televised wedding. And who knows, his advice about love may be working listening too. Sure, he found his wife on a reality show, but it seems as though they are a solid couple. Not many other Bachelor and Bachelorette alums can boast the same luck.

Will you read Sean's book?

Jessa Duggar, Ben SeewaldYou know ... there might be something to this whole courting thing. While the idea of waiting until your wedding day to share your first kiss with someone may seem completely weird to most of us, you can't argue with the fact that Jill Duggar and Jessa Duggar are both smitten with their men.

Newlyweds Jill and Derick Dillard are of course expecting their first child together, and she hasn't been shy about gushing over what an amazing dad-to-be he is. And Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are in full-on wedding planning mode for their upcoming nuptials on November 1, but that doesn't mean the 19 Kids and Counting stars don't have time for sappy Instagram posts arguing over who loves the other one more.

Over the weekend, Jessa shared this sweet snap with the caption, "Love you to the moon and back!"

At the same time, her intended Ben posted this one of the two of them saying "I love you" in sign language. He added, "I love you more!!"

Just a couple days before that, Jessa showed that she definitely has love on the brain when she found a leaf that reminded her how she feels about Ben. She captioned this cute couple selfie, "Aw, it's a heart-shaped leaf! Ain't that cute?"

[code][/code]

Could these two possibly be any cuter? And hey, they say conflict resolution is good for a marriage, but if you're going to be in constant disagreement with your spouse over something, arguing over who loves whom more is a good one to have.

Do you think Jessa and Ben are on the right track for a happy and healthy marriage?
