Last updated on: August 26, 2013 at 3:35 pm By Lilit Marcus

After the well-known polygamist family the Dargers appeared on Sister Wives last season, it seemed like TLC was introducing them to the audience as prep for a show of their own. However, according to family patriarch Joe Darger says that it isn’t happening. According to Joe, TLC rejected their show My Three Wives, saying that it was too similar to Sister Wives. That’s pretty weird, considering the network had already filmed and aired commercials for the show before making the... Read more

Watch Ke$ha’s Backup Dancers Crash a Westboro Baptist Church Protest

Last updated on: August 19, 2013 at 2:35 pm By Lilit Marcus

The Westboro Baptist Church sometimes likes to take pop songs and rework them so that the lyrics are about WBC faves like hating gay people. However, their attempt to Weird Al-ify Ke$ha‘s song “We R Who We R” as “God H8s Who U R.” Rather than get mad, the singer decided to get even: she sent her backup dancers to a WBC protest in Nebraska, where they busted their best moves during the song. Well played, team Ke$ha! Read more

Last updated on: August 12, 2013 at 12:59 am By Lilit Marcus

Well, now we know what Josh Duggar is expected to do in exchange for that Family Research Council money.
