The Xbox One version of Rockstar’s GTA V Online Heists update will require 4.8GB of storage space, a recent report from GameSpot can confirm. While there has been no official word from the developers themselves, a Twitter user uploaded a screenshot of the update prompt in which the file size can be seen.

Hmm, Heist update spiked from 4.2 GB to 4.8 GB. Seems they’re finalizing a few things pic.twitter.com/PrToCVq1Qi

— V7X3 (@S7_V7X3) March 8, 2015

Other users have also been posting their screenshots showing they have received the Heists Online update earlier than expected.

However, according to the EuroGamer, the file size will be significantly lower for previous gen consoles, such as the Xbox 360, weighing in at around 1.2GB.

The GTA V add-on will feature five online heist missions, as well as an array of new weapons and some armored vehicles. The game will come packed with a new player-versus-player mode, new free roam activities, daily missions, and more. EuroGamer says that, “you’ll also be able to dress up and look the part with a wardrobe full of boilersuits, balaclavas, costumes and masks.”

Other sources indicate that the game will come loaded with nine new achievements, which are worth 250 Gamerscore. Achievements will be unlocked for finishing missions without taking damage and spending in-game money to update cars, among other things.

Recently, it was announced that the PC port of GTA V will also receive new music, including a radio station. The new music is set to be created by the original Grand Theft Auto composers, The Alchemist and Oh No.

GTA V was released September, 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 before a new-gen version was launched the following year on November 18, 2014. It is considered one of the biggest video game franchises of all time, with the latest sequel selling around 45 million copies worldwide in store and digital transactions.

Grand Theft Auto 5 follows the lives of three criminals: Trevor, Franklin, and Michael. Players can switch between any of the characters during play, which adds a new dynamic to the series not originally seen in previous GTA games.

The game was released to massive critical acclaim, with aggregate game site Metacritic giving an average score of 97 out of a hundred. Edge magazine declared it a “remarkable achievement” while the UK’s Daily Telegraph newspaper said it was a “colossal feat of technical engineering.”

Xbox One and other console users will receive the GTA V update on March 10 with the Heists feature being available for the PC on release day this April.

Chris Soules of ABC’s The Bachelor 2015 season admits that he was a wreck heading into his final rose ceremony. While he struggled with some decisions leading to his final two, it seems that last decision was the toughest of all. Monday night, fans will see if he chooses Becca Tilley or Whitney Bischoff, and Bachelor spoilers indicate that he didn’t have an easy time of it.

Us Weekly shares that Chris Soules admits he was a stressed-out wreck heading into that final rose ceremony airing Monday night in the 2015 season finale. Chris says that as that big moment neared, he struggled with sleeplessness, a racing heart, and even moments of hyperventilating. Host Chris Harrison adds that Soules truly was a wreck and there were both temper tantrums and tears.

Chris struggled in choosing to let Kaitlyn Bristowe go in Bali, worried that he had made the wrong decision. Viewers know that Soules had some similar struggles in letting Jade Roper go after the hometown dates as well. Sources say that Soules dealt with a lot of conflicted feelings in those final eliminations and that he was genuinely in love with both Becca and Whitney.

Viewers have seen that Whitney feels ready to commit to Chris and a life in Iowa, while Becca hesitates. The families will meet with both women in Monday’s finale, facing tough questions. Bachelor spoilers from Us Weekly claim that ultimately the runner-up just wasn’t all that into Chris and that may well have paved the way to that final rose decision.

Will there be a happy ending? Chris says that he is in love and he and his final lady are developing their relationship outside the show. He’s reportedly headed to DWTS after the finale, so fans will be curious to see how that goes.

Reality Steve’s spoilers have said for months now that Soules’ final rose and an engagement ring go to Whitney Bischoff and fans can’t wait to see if that is indeed true. Despite the doubt of some fans, Steve is sticking by his Bachelor spoilers heading into this final episode.

Does Chris Soules propose to Whitney Bischoff and does she accept? What will Becca Tilley have to say about it all at the live “After the Final Rose” special? Who will be The Bachelorette 2015 lead for Season 11, as the show has confirmed an announcement will be made Monday?

Fans will get answers to all of those questions and more when ABC’s The Bachelor 2015 finale with Chris Soules, Whitney Bischoff, and Becca Tilley airs on Monday, March 9.

‘Bachelor’ Chris Soules Spoilers: Conflicted Feelings Ahead Of Final Rose Ceremony, He Admits is an article from: The Inquisitr News

A recent Black Lives Matter event at the Oak Park and River Forest High Schools in Illinois has sparked quite a debate. According to the Chicago Tribune, the event which took place on Feb. 27 was organized to commemorate the conclusion of Black History Month. While such an event seems quite befitting for the occasion, there’s one aspect of it that has raised concerns – the white students at the schools were not allowed to attend.

The publication reports that several white parents, who have opted to remain nameless, recently expressed their concerns about the controversial directive and the message it sends. White students who expressed desires to attend the event were reportedly turned away at the door. Based on the schools’ population, which is reportedly comprised of approximately “55 percent white, 27 percent black, 9 percent Hispanic, 6 percent multiracial and 3 percent Asian,” more than half of the population was denied entry to the event.

A statement addressing the basis of the event was posted on the schools’ website. It provided specifics about the event and the purpose it was initially suppose to serve. Here’s an excerpt from the school news statement:

“The forum used a racial affinity group model to engage participants in a deeper conversation around the national theme “Black Lives Matter.” This event, which was planned by the school without a review by the Board of Education, was part of OPRF’s ongoing efforts to look at issues of racial equity in the high school, the school community and around the country. Racial affinity groups are often used in learning communities to help facilitate positive identity exploration and provide people with similar experiences a space in which to pose questions and process topics. According to Principal Rouse, the conversation was an opportunity for students who identify as Black to speak openly, honestly, and productively. “I believe that the discussion will help us as a school begin talking about race in a deeper and more meaningful way than ever before—and most important, produce change,” Mr. Rouse said. One of the goals of the district’s strategic plan is to look at ways it can address disproportionate student outcomes that are predictable by race.”

“Some students and parents expressed confusion and concern about the event being for Black students only. Information about the event lacked clarity about this aspect of the conversation, and the high school is committed to improving communications in the future. Further conversations among and across other racial affinity groups shall take place at the high school in the coming months and into next year.”

The school’s principal, Nathaniel Rouse, who organized the controversial event, stated that the purpose was not to exclude the white students.

“I found it has been far easier for me to talk about my experiences with racism with individuals that look like me,” Rouse said. “I still struggle myself with talking about my experiences with people who don’t look like me. Unfortunately, the stories that they shared weren’t new to me. They were experiences I had in high school and experiences I had in college.”

White Students Not Allowed To Attend ‘Black Lives Matter’ Event At Illinois High School, Sparks Controversy is an article from: The Inquisitr News

It seems that Nicki Minaj and Kanye West have decided to form a mutual admiration society. Just last week West praised Nicki Minaj whilst addressing an audience of students. West claimed that Minaj was “one of the best things” about his 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy which he modestly described as the best album in the last 25 years. According to the Mail Minaj has responded in kind by heaping praise on West.

In an interview with the Mail Nicki Minaj expressed how thankful she was for the opportunity west gave her to appear on his 2010 hit “Monster.” According to the Mirror Minaj told Capital FM that she will always be grateful for the opportunity to appear on the hit track.

“He’s done something that I’ll never forget, you know, he’s given me one of the best opportunities that I’ve ever gotten in my career. I adore him, he gave me a great opportunity, there’s no way I could ever outshine him, I mean he’s just brilliant. ”

“He puts people in a position to do better. When you are an artist and you can do that for people, then you are The Kind, you are The One, and that’s how I look at him.”

It is beyond doubt that Nicki Minaj made the most of the opportunity that West afforded her. Since 2010 Minaj has gone on to become one of the most successful hip-hop artists in the world. In an interview that West would no doubt have been proud of there was no sign of false modesty when 32-year-old Minaj explained that she thinks she has inspired a whole new generation of female rappers.

“I have always pushed the envelope with lyrics and I always want people to say and talk about a dope Nicki line and I have always been that way.”

“I think that I have inspired new female rappers to not only talk about your vagina but to also say witty things that dudes say and put it in our own words and just be lyrical.”

Nicki Minaj is currently out on her Pinkprint tour but according to Metro she almost abandoned the tour when her tour manager De’Von Pickett, was murdered last month in Philadelphia. Minaj has told her fans to expect the unexpected when the European leg of the tour kicks off in Stockholm, Sweden on March 16. Minaj says that fans will see her at her most “truthful and honest.” Nicki says that her new album has allowed her to really open up and experience a whole new level of freedom.

If Nicki Minaj’s past antics are anything to go by it could be quite a show.

Nicki Minaj And Kanye West Form A Mutual Admiration Society is an article from: The Inquisitr News

ESPN commentator and Sirius XM radio host Stephen A. Smith found himself the subject of speculation today after multiple sports and social media outlets made accusations that his statements on First Take suggested Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly was a racist.

Stephen A. Smith had joined First Take host Skip Bayless and fellow commentators Cari Champion and Ryan Clark in discussing Kelly’s release of running back LeSean McCoy and receiver Jeremy Maclin.

“Chip Kelly makes decisions over the last couple of years that, dare I say, leave a few brothers feeling uncomfortable…. I think that’s fair to say.”

Though Smith was the one to say it, all of the others in the discussion agreed in unison that the moves by Kelly were questionable. Stephen A. Smith, however, has been the one to bear the brunt of the fallout from the discussion with multiple headlines stating he was “playing the race card” while users of Twitter and Facebook run with it. Smith says those accusations simply aren’t true and he’s furious.

Stephen angrily responded to critics with his radio broadcast on Mad Dog Sports Radio Sirius XM later this afternoon saying that assumptions were being made regarding what he was trying to say:

“…a bunch of idiots in the world of Twitter and beyond saw me on First Take today speaking about Chip Kelly, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and essentially are trying to create storylines or headlines by accusing me of calling Chip Kelly a racist. Ladies and gentlemen, I did no such thing. But if you are uncomfortable with what I had to say on First Take this morning with my man Skip Bayless on ESPN 2, let me say this to you: I don’t give a damn.”

Stephen A’s sixteen minute long monologue to open his show explained in more depth his reasoning for statements regarding Kelly stating that he was concerned about the ‘culture’ of certain types of players the coach is fostering while other talented and elite players are traded or given up to free agency. Smith discussed the reality of salary caps but the inconsistency of the release of extraordinary players like DeSean Jackson, McCoy, and Maclin over other less formidable players like Riley Cooper.

About halfway through the tirade, Smith re-iterated that he was not crying “racism” with his remarks but that these were assumptions made by others:

“I come on here. I say what the hell I want to say. And I mean what I mean. And if I thought for one second that’s what Chip Kelly was, I would say so. And then I would back it up. I don’t know Chip Kelly to be that kind of man.”

Stephen A. Smith then also encouraged listeners to call in to discuss the matter if they needed more clarification, hoping that he could nip the racism rumors in the bud, reminding listeners that his time on First Take is limited because he is a guest but on his radio show he has the ability discuss things more freely and in depth.

Jill Duggar’s latest baby shower venue might shock a few 19 Kids and Counting fans — she and hubby Derick Dillard recently broke breadsticks at Olive Garden.

On Sunday, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard celebrated the coming of Baby Dilly at one of the Italian-American restaurants near their home in Arkansas. Most people wouldn’t see anything weird about a married couple spending time with their friends and family at an Olive Garden, but one of Jill’s Instagram followers was surprised to see the 19 Kids and Counting star and her husband at the eatery.

“Doesn’t Olive Garden donate to Planned Parenthood?” the commenter wrote after Jill Duggar shared the photo below.

Olive Garden is a subsidiary of Darden Restaurants. According to xoJane, Darden is one of the companies named in “The Boycott List,” a document created by an anti-abortion organization called Stop Planned Parenthood (STOPP). The document lists companies that donate money to Planned Parenthood, and STOPP asks anti-abortion activists like the Duggars to boycott these companies.

It’s no secret that Jill Duggar’s family members aren’t fans of Planned Parenthood — evidence of their hatred of the organization can be seen in the Washington Post video below. During a 2012 appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Michelle Duggar called Planned Parenthood “the leading organization that performs abortions.” She struggled to keep a smile plastered on her face while expressing her disappointment that the Susan G. Komen Foundation had decided to continue funding the non-profit organization that provides breast cancer screenings and reproductive health services for women.

19 Kids and Counting fans might find it strange to see a Duggar at a restaurant with a connection to Planned Parenthood because the family sometimes uses their choice of eatery to send a message about how they feel about a big social or civil rights issue. As the Inquisitr previously reported, the family likely frequents Chick-fil-A because the company’s chief operating officer, Dan Cathy, supports anti-gay marriage groups. Jill Duggar even thinks that there will be Chick-Fil-A in heaven.

However, Jill’s Olive Garden outing isn’t the first time a Duggar has enjoyed the services of an establishment that supports a cause that the family actively fights against. Even though Michelle Duggar and Jim Bob Duggar are against same-sex marriage, they’ve gone on Starbucks dates. The Facebook photo below is evidence of their love of the coffee chain.

According to CNN, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is an avid supporter of gay rights, and he and his company backed a Washington State bill to legalize same-sex marriage. The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) responded by calling for a boycott of the company. According to E! News, the Duggars were part of the anti-gay marriage “Faith, Family, Freedom” bus tour that was co-sponsored by NOM.

It’s possible that Jill Duggar knew about Olive Garden’s Planned Parenthood connection before attending her baby shower, and there could be a simple explanation for why she decided to eat at the restaurant, anyway — she probably wasn’t paying for the meal. According to her Instagram, Derick Dillard’s church threw the shower.

“Thank you @OliveGarden and Derick’s church family for the baby shower today!” Jill wrote. “We were so blessed! #babydilly #OliveGarden #babyshower.”

The event was Jill and Derick’s second baby shower. As the Inquisitr previously reported, Derick’s Wal-Mart coworkers also helped the Dillards prepare for Baby Dilly’s arrival by showering them with gifts. However, Jill still hasn’t received that Dr. Pepper that she asked for.

Do you think it’s odd to see Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard eating at a restaurant that supports Planned Parenthood?

The Pump Rules season three reunion begins airing tonight on Bravo, and while many fans expected Stassi Schroeder to stay silent about the series, as she has in recent weeks, the fashionista posted a reunion-themed tweet on Monday.

Although Schroeder didn’t promote the Monday, March 9 episode of Pump Rules in the message, she did mention her Pump Rules reunion outfit, telling fans she had detailed the look on her style blog, Style By Stassi.

“I’m breaking down my reunion look on http://stylebystassi.com today :),” Schroeder wrote on March 9.

In her blog, Schroeder revealed the following of her Pump Rules reunion look:

“When I saw this dress, I just about died. Gingham is my favorite spring trend right now, and I just HAD to wear this dress. I paired it with my ‘Sultana Collar Strand Necklace’ from my new S by Stassi collection with Shop Prima donna. How great is my hair and makeup? I wish I could take credit for being this pretty, but I can’t. I pretty much don’t look anything like this in real life. My glam squad is the absolute best. Trace Henningson is my long time hair girl, and Stevi Christine is the MASTER of makeup. It really does take an army.”

For the first two seasons of Pump Rules, Schroeder was featured as a main cast member, along with Scheana Marie, Jax Taylor, Katie Maloney, Kristen Doute, Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz (who was seen in a guest role during season one, and a full-time role during season two).

Then, for season three, Schroeder was downgraded from full-time to part-time after quitting her job at SUR Lounge.

Although Schroeder worked at SUR for seasons one and two, she moved to New York City after filming season two, noting her desire to take a break from the drama in Los Angeles and get closer to her boyfriend, Patrick Meagher. At the time she left, she hinted she would not return to the show, but did so ahead of filming on Pump Rules season three.

As the Inquisitr previously reported, Schroeder has also hinted season three of Pump Rules would be the last, and according to Andy Cohen, he wouldn’t be surprised if she left the series ahead of Pump Rules season four.

“I don’t know… Would I be surprised if she left? No… I think she was kinda done [by the end of the reunion filming],” he said during a recent episode of Ask Andy.

For more Pump Rules, tune into part one of the season three reunion, airing tonight at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

Apple released the very first Apple Watch late last year, but it only started at $349 to start. On Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook included a pricing structure for the Apple Watch, saying that the high-end Apple Watch Edition models would cost a pretty penny. The Inquisitr previously reported that the watches would range from $349 to $10,000, until now. Cook also revealed that there were larger version of the Apple Watch that will cost more than $10,000.

Introducing the 38mm 18-Karat Rose Gold model for $17,000. This watch has an 18-karat rose gold case with a rose gray modern buckle. It’s currently the most expensive watch that Apple is offering at the moment. The tech giant is also offering a 38mm 18-karat yellow gold case with a bright red modern buckle, if don’t like rose gold or you find that watch too feminine.

There is very little information about the watch on the Apple website. It comes in three sizes: small (135-150mm), medium (145-165mm), and large (160-180mm). You can’t just wear it for looks, though. This new Apple Watch requires the use of the iPhone 5 with the latest version of iOS.

There are a total of eight Apple Watch Editions, according to the GSM Arena blog. The pricing range for these luxury watches range from $10,000 to $17,000. The gadget site includes a full list of the luxury Apple Watches, including sizes and colors.

• $10,000– 38mm, 18k rose gold, white sport band
• $12,000– 42mm, 18k rose gold, white sport band
• $10,000– 38mm, 18k yellow gold, black sport band

• $15,000– 42mm, 18k yellow gold, midnight blue classic buckle
• $17,000 – 38mm, 18k rose gold, rose gray modern buckle

Cook said that the watch will last for 18-hours “across a range of activities.” It will also include a few popular apps such as Instagram, Shazam and Uber. Users can look forward to some news on other third-party Apple Watch apps that will be made available in the next few days.

The steep price of this 18-karat Apple Watch proves that the company is looking to compete with luxury watchmakers, not smartwatch makers like Pebble, Samsung or Sony. It’ll be interesting to see if this new strategy will make or break Apple in the end. As previously mentioned, Apple currently has the most expensive smartwatch on the market, while Google is on the lower end of the market, says The Guardian.

The Apple Watch line goes on sale on April 24, with a preview beginning on April 10.This new device is expected to go on sale in the following nine countries: “Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK and US,” as reported by The Guardian.

Would you ever pay $17,000 for an Apple Watch, if you had the money?

Last week on The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Amy almost took a giant leap forward by planning to buy a turtle. The couple’s delight quickly turned sour when Sheldon casually mentioned he’d applied to go to Mars. Amy, unaware of his extra-planetary ambitions, wanted confirmation that her relationship with Sheldon was actually going somewhere.

Mayim Bialik wrote about that episode, “The Colonization Application,” on her Kveller blog, and revealed what went into the end-of-episode moment when the rarely physically affectionate couple had a moment of intimacy. Sheldon said that if he’s going to Mars, he would like Amy to come too, and they hugged.

“I made the decision to not pause at all before hugging Jim once it is clear that Sheldon understands and wants Amy as part of his life, because I wanted there to be that sense of how much on the verge of needing him she was. I wanted to convey that her affection and love for him was always just a breath away, and that she was waiting for him to meet her in the middle. I hope that’s what came across.”

Bialik also revealed that in the scene where Sheldon and Amy go to the pet store, she and Jim Parsons had to work around the turtles. Although the animals were chosen for their supposed personality traits, their activity level didn’t always match what was needed according to the dialogue. Bialik said the script was changed because of the “turtle variability.”

The Big Bang Theory always seems to get mileage out of tender moments between Sheldon and Amy. In this week’s new episode, “The Leftover Thermalization,” there is bound to be some tense moments between Sheldon and Leonard, as only Sheldon gets authorship credit for a scientific paper they wrote together.

Big Bang Theory fans can expect some tears and more tugs on the heartstrings this Thursday, as the gang spends some time in Mrs. Wolowitz’s house. The death last year of Carol Ann Susi, who played the voice of Howard’s mother, resulted in the passing of her character. The upcoming plotlines will continue to address Howard’s grieving process.

The cast’s real-life remembrance of Carol Ann Susi included an “impromptu memorial” on-set and the inclusion of a wallet-sized photo of the actor on the fridge in Leonard and Sheldon’s apartment.

The Big Bang Theory airs on CBS.

Is Rihanna taking the next step and moving in with Leonardo DiCaprio? If reports are true, it looks like RihCaprio is not only still living, but they’re thriving!

There’s been some debate over whether or not Rihanna and Leo are a thing. Some people think Rihanna is dating DiCaprio’s friend, and others think his friend is just a scapegoat so they can remain hush-hush about their romance.

How are Rihanna and Leo reportedly taking things to the next level? http://t.co/Q2PXhRqQWi pic.twitter.com/VRfy5Rsxx5

— HuffPost UK Ent (@HuffPostUKEnt) March 9, 2015

According to a source that spoke with Boston Herald, Rihanna is practically living with DiCaprio. “It’s like she’s practically moved in. Leo has been sweet and cordoned off little areas for her in the home that are just for her, like a smoke room.”

As rumors go, Rihanna is planning to take DiCaprio home to Barbados next month. The two will go back to Rihanna’s home for her cousin’s wedding, which DiCaprio plans to attend as the “FourFiveSeconds” singer’s plus-one.

According to the Sun, Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna are already planning on making a great escape to enjoy some alone time together in Barbados. “Afterwards Rihanna and Leo are going to spend a few days by themselves on a yacht.”

“@ComplexMag: FINALLY. There are pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio and Rihanna as a couple. http://t.co/bv8TSCB6ld pic.twitter.com/orcT9aCoMk” lmfao — Alaska Young (@Soul_viving) March 6, 2015

Recently, the Inquisitr reported about the photos that surfaced of Rihanna and DiCaprio at the singer’s birthday party. At that point, TMZ reported that it was a one-sided relationship, calling Rihanna “clingy” and more into the relationship than Leo was.

According to the source the party was all for Rihanna but she only had eyes for Leo, and made sure that he was the only person he was checking out. A source told the outlet, “She’s the baddest b***h in the party, but she’s following him everywhere.”

When the pair were first rumored to be an item, it was reported by OK! Magazine that Rihanna had all the control over the relationship. Back then, she wanted Leo to lose some weight and get a six pack fast. That said, DiCaprio wasn’t moving that fast to the gym and thought her demands were cute. “Leo thinks it’s all highly amusing. He’s never had a girl tell him what to do, so you can imagine how much he’s loving it.”

RihCaprio Lives: Rihanna Moving In With Leonardo DiCaprio? is an article from: The Inquisitr News

Jana Duggar has had enough of playing nanny, so she’s reportedly leaving 19 Kids and Counting to make her own way in the world. Two of her younger sisters have already left the nest, so she feels like it’s her turn to experience life without another Duggar tagging along. However, she’s breaking family tradition in a big way — Jana is moving out as a single woman.

According to OK! Magazine, Jana Duggar decided that she’s not going to follow in Jill and Jessa Duggar’s footsteps by waiting until she’s married to move out. Instead “Cinderella Duggar” is trying to talk her parents into letting her attend college. Perhaps Jana decided to push her luck after Joseph Duggar became the first member of the family to leave home for a higher education at a brick-and-mortar school. As the Inquisitr previously reported, Joseph is currently taking classes at The Crown College of the Bible in Knoxville, Tennessee.

A source told OK! Magazine that 25-year-old Jana Duggar finally realized that she’ll never get to live her own life if she continues to let her parents use her as a live-in babysitter. Perhaps her final straw was finding out that her parents still want to have a 20^th child — in a video that the Inquisitr recently shared, Jim Bob tells a crowd of people that he and Michelle are still trying for the big 2-0.

The OK! source claims that Jana has let her parents know that she’s about to start applying for Christian colleges. The Crown College of the Bible has a music program, so perhaps she’ll end up going there. Duggar family friend Erin Bates attended the school, and, according to The Bates Family website, she earned a “bachelors degree in music ministry.” Jana is a talented pianist just like Erin, so the school might be a good fit for her.

Unfortunately, Jim Bob Duggar is reportedly trying to talk his daughter out of going to school, and Jana might eventually back down. The OK! source claims that this is the first time Jana has really “stuck up for herself,” so it might be hard for her to stick to her guns when facing off against her father.

It’s entirely possible that the OK! story is completely fabricated. However, Jana Duggar’s “Family Scrapbook” entry on The Duggar Family website seemingly provides evidence of a family dispute about her future. As you can see, she has no “Future Plans” listed right now. This might because her family is trying to talk her into changing her mind about leaving 19 Kids and Counting and going to school.

Jana’s other family members also have a different vision for her future. During an interview with PEOPLE, Ben Seewald said that he wants Jana to marry Tim Tebow. Obviously he was joking, but Jana’s lack of a love life is no laughing matter — getting married may become the only way she can escape her family’s home if Jim Bob forbids her from going to college. She won’t be able to pay for her schooling herself, so she needs her parents’ financial support.

Do you think Jana Duggar will really leave 19 Kids and Counting to go to school, or will she give in to her parents’ wishes and stay at home to babysit, cook, and clean?

Game Of Thrones actor Hafthor Bjornsson has broken yet another world record, this time at the Arnold Classic, which is held annually in Columbus, Ohio.

Bjornsson has appeared as Ser Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane on HBO’s much loved drama. In the show he has gained a reputation as one of the fiercest and most destructive characters in television history.

But in real-life he has also showcased that he possesses almost super-human strength too. And just a month after he broke a 1,000 year-old world record, Bjornsson has now achieved another historic feat with a world-record throw at the 2015 Arnold Sports Festival, which is named after Arnold Schwarzenegger and has been run since 1989.

Bjornsson somehow managed to throw a 56-pound kettle bell 19 feet and three inches up into the air, just with one arm.

He then took to Instagram to upload a video of his achievement, which you can view by clicking on this link. You can check out another angle of his effort here.

Bjornsson added to the clip with the description, “I had ups & downs at the Arnold Strongman Classic this past weekend. I did an awful mistake in the deadlift which cost me alot of points! Yesterday made me feel a bit better though. I did a weight for height event on the main stage. I went over 19’3 with a 56lbs weight and that is a New World Record!!”

Last month, Bjornsson, who has previously been named as Europe’s strongest man, carried the 650-kg log, which was 10 m long, further than any man has been able to for 1000 years.

Bjornsson carried the log five steps, which is made even more remarkable because it took 50 other human beings to lift it up and place it onto his back.

After his achievement, Bjornsson declared, via Iron Mind, “Well, today my friends, I made history. As well as winning the title of The World’s Strongest Viking for the second time in a row, I carried this Monster Log 5 steps! My back held up fine!”

Bjornsson also made it clear that his next goal is to win the World’s Strongest Man event, which will be held in April in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

Bjornsson made his debut as Gregor Clegane, otherwise known as The Mountain, in Game Of Thrones last season when he took part in one of the most brutal, bloody and gory scenes in television history as he took on Oberyn “The Viper” Martell in battle, and crushed his skull with his bare heads. Something, it would appear, Bjornsson could easily do if he so pleased.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Hafthor Bjornsson Breaks Another Insane World Record is an article from: The Inquisitr News

Any pet owner can relate to this video, which is going viral this week, because everyone who loves a pet tries constantly to talk to the animals, but whether anything humans say can actually be understood by a cat or a dog is anyone’s guess.

Enter the human-to-cat translator app. Cat lovers can actually download this app to their smartphones. Now, according to the description of one such “translation” app, “This app is intended for entertainment purposes only and does not provide true Human-to-Cat Translating functionality.”

But that never stopped a devoted cat owner from trying — because sometimes wanting to believe is as good as believing. And as this video makes clear, the translation app is saying — something.

In fact, as the human in this video, Penny Adams, says, “Who knows what the app was really saying in cat voice, but he sure didn’t like it.”

As you’ll see in the video, the app seems to be delivering some serious smack talk to the kitty, whose name is Flam, because after staring up at Penny in disbelief, as if to say, “What did you just call me?” Flam lets her have it.

The app must have unleashed some serious fighting words.

“It worked, but it also got an unusual reaction from Flam, who proceeded to walk up slowly and pop me in the head,” said Penny, who is a professional photographer and part-time volunteer at The Cat Shoppe in Nashville, Tennessee. “We laughed so hard.”

In addition to selling cat supplies, The Cat Shoppe also runs a non-profit cat rescue operation.

In reality, cat behavior experts say that kitties do, actually, have a language, and a rather complex one at that consisting not only of numerous, distinct meows, but also of equally important body language, including tail movements, facial expressions, body positions and ear-wagging.

Scents also play a vital role in cat communication. No app, at least one made so far, can act as a real translator for ever nuance of cat language.

And of course, purring is also an important way that cats communicate their feelings and thoughts.

It’s also worth noting that vocal communication between cats is virtually non-existent. Cats save their meows for talking to humans, and they learn which type of meows get specific responses for their human companions.

In other words, the lesson is, if you want to talk to your cat, you’re better off observing your feline friend closely and remembering how the kitty responds to certain words, sounds and gestures. A translator app, as this viral video proves, can get you in big trouble.

Woman Talks To Cat In Cat Language With Translator App — But What Did She Say To Get This Reaction? is an article from: The Inquisitr News

San Andreas is set to be a constant thrill-ride of perseverance and dexterity, an epic display of events to come. Too, the movie’s extended trailer is awesome!

Afterward, feel free to comment at end of the article. Be the one to spark conversation within Inquisitr’s movie community.

See the trailer for “San Andreas:” http://t.co/VVHffdVr3T pic.twitter.com/miXH6iHKqN

Andreas’ first trailer, the official one, did wet the viewers’ taste buds. The movie shows just how horrible things could get in California. Due to a series of earthquakes of unimaginable magnitudes, San Andreas shows the state being ripped to shreds, and those shreds ripped to shreds by succeeding tremors. Check out the movie’s official trailer from the Internet Movie Database (IMDb). Then, you’ll see how San Andreas’ extended version differs in the next video.

For years, seismology experts have waged that such an event isn’t a question of “if” but one of “when”. They say it’s going to happen at some point in the future. The San Andreas fault is one of the world’s longest fault lines and could ideally separate California from the mainland, as says Stanford University. Well, that’s exactly what happens in the movie. Pretty much, the Pacific Ocean welcomes itself onto the mainland — or rather, the separated land begins sinking into the waters. It’s a horrific sight and thought, regardless of swimming abilities or the lack thereof.

The trailer for @TheRock‘s new movie “San Andreas” looks INSANE: http://t.co/yfCuWhwKgI pic.twitter.com/pGy5kJu9VE — Complex (@ComplexMag) March 10, 2015

Just to clarify, one should note a brief technicality of the San Andreas fault line, as deemed by the University of Oregon.

“The San Andreas is what is termed a Transform Fault: a place where sections of the earth’s crust slide side-by-side past each other. As mentioned in the background information, they are usually associated with spreading centers, and represent horizontal offsets due to the reality of trying to fit a linear zone of faulting onto a spherical earth…

…The San Andreas Fault of California is THE classic example of one of these “strike-slip” faults, and will surely shake the juice out of the state sooner or later. Because there is no ripping apart or subduction taking place, there isn’t any magma formation to lead to volcanos. However, the intensity of the faulting easily makes up for this apparent lack of natural disasters.”

The juice will be shaken out? That just doesn’t sound good at all. Neither does it sound good for Dwayne Johnson’s character, Ray. He actually has to fly clear across the state to find his daughter, Blake, played by Alexandra Daddario.

Take a look at the new, extended trailer. Imagine being a Californian and having to fight against Mother Nature in such an event. It wouldn’t be a good day.

With the San Andreas release date set for May 29, 2015, anticipation is already in play for opening night.

Epic ‘San Andreas’ Movie Trailer Screams Must-See Catastrophe is an article from: The Inquisitr News

Siblings were able to stop the kidnapping of a toddler that could have had a far worse outcome. ABC News reports that 22-month-old, Owen Wright, was playing at a Sprague park with his 8-year-old sister, Delicia, and 10-year-old brother, Breden, when everything happened. All three of them were reportedly unsupervised while in the park that was near their babysitter’s house on Sunday. The children’s father — Michael Wright — was working at the time.

In surveillance footage obtained from a grocery store near the park, a suspect runs up and flees with Owen. The boy’s brave brother and sister jumped to their feet and ran after the kidnapper. Thanks to Delicia’s loud screams, others heard her and suddenly two teenage boys helped in pursuit of the abductor.

Realizing he was in trouble, the kidnapper left Owen in a vacant lot before he continued off in his run.

Although the siblings stopped this kidnapping, the suspect is still at large. Anyone who recognizes the suspect is urged to contact the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office at 509-725-3501.

Witness, Dorothy Giddings, was working close by when the harrowing events unfolded before her. She saw the toddler’s sister going after the kidnapper when she heard all the commotion.

“This little girl come running around the corner screaming her head off,” Giddings tells KXLY News.

“I didn’t really care. There was a kid’s life in danger,” says Andrew Crane, one of the teens who ran after the suspect.

“I don’t consider myself a hero. I consider myself a person doing the right thing,” Isaac Yow, the other teen..

Giddings told Delicia she did the right thing by screaming to stop the kidnapping.

“I told that little girl, I said, ‘Honey, you did exactly what you needed to do scream your head off.’ That’s what saved that baby. Her screaming and us running.”

As for the father of all three kids, Michael Wright “can’t explain” the horrible feeling he had after learning his son was almost abducted. He said you get “nervous and can’t think straight” when such a thing occurs to your child.

“I can’t explain the feeling, the anxiety and everything that goes into finding out your children is missing or something has happened to them.”

Sprague is considered a very safe community with a population of just 500 people. On Sunday, the attempted kidnapping was a brutal wakeup call that predators and abductors are everywhere. If it hadn’t been for the toddler’s brother and sister thinking as fast as they did, the story would have had a whole different ending. Watching these siblings stop the kidnapping of their younger brother shows how determined they were to make sure no one would hurt a member of their family.

Siblings Stop Kidnapping: Toddler’s Young Brother And Sister Chase Down Abductor [Video] is an article from: The Inquisitr News

Duchess Kate may have hinted at her second baby’s gender when she stepped out to celebrate Commonwealth Day with her husband, Prince William, on Monday. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge wore a pink Alexander McQueen coat, and a matching hat to the event, making some people wonder if a bit of “mother’s instinct” was showing through.

Since Kate Middleton and Prince William have said that they don’t know the sex of their second child, people have been trying to guess (and yes, some have been placing bets). Kate has favored the color blue throughout most of her pregnancy, but this quick pop of pink could mean that she’s feeling like she is having a girl. Or maybe she just likes the coat.

Duchess Kate’s baby’s gender has been a topic of conversation for months. With her due date fast-approaching (some say late March, others say early April), some are trying to analyze the shape of her bump. As evidenced by photos posted by the New York Daily News,checking out that bump hasn’t been that easy. There have been a lot of coats, and loose-fitting dresses which really prohibit folks from getting a good look. If you had to guess, Kate looks pretty much the same as she was when she was pregnant with Prince George… so a “boy” would be a safe answer.

And if you were waiting for Kate to truly “pop” over the next two weeks or so, you may not get an opportunity to have another look. According to Celebrity Dirty Laundry, the celebration for Commonwealth Day may have been Kate’s last appearance before giving birth. With just a few short weeks left, Kate may have some last minute things to do to prepare for baby, but it’s also important that she takes it easy too.

Interestingly enough, the pink McQueen coat was last worn by Kate in 2013, when she made her last public appearance before giving birth to Prince George.

Do you think Duchess Kate knows the gender of her baby from a mother’s instinct perspective? Do you think that she and Prince William are going to welcome a boy or a girl?

Once the Duchess gives birth, the palace will make a formal announcement. It won’t take long for Kate and William to introduce their new child to the world, just as they did with Prince George on the steps of St. Mary’s Hospital.

Duchess Kate Baby Gender: Coat Color Could Mean A Baby Girl Is On Her Way? is an article from: The Inquisitr News

The search for missing Virginia coed Anjelica Hadsell is entering its second week — a reality that her loved ones are currently struggling with as they offer what little money they can as a reward for any information leading to her. The Rotunda reports that the reward has grown from $500.00 to $3,000.00 in just a matter of days. The report also shares that the mother is still questioning the authenticity of text messages sent by the missing coed before she was reported missing. Could these text messages be a clue behind what happened to her?

AJ’s mother isn’t sharing the finer details surrounding these texts, but says that something seemed off when she was talking to her daughter. She expressed her concerns to the media recently.

“The conversation, in my opinion, was kind of off. I can’t be 100 percent sure I know that was my daughter I was texting. I know how she talks and I know the type of things she says.”

Nobody in the mainstream media is drawing attention to these comments made by Anjelica Hadsell’s mother, but Nancy Grace might. The official Facebook page associated with this case– maintained by the missing woman’s parents — announced on Tuesday that Grace would be addressing AJ’s disappearance on a segment of her show.

Was Anjelica Hadsell abducted? Or is she otherwise the victim of some other type of foul play? These are fears expressed by her loved ones, especially since there is suspicion surrounding whether or not she was in control of her phone during the last known contact with her loved ones. There is also confusion surrounding when she may or may not have last been sighted. Witnesses may have seen her the morning she disappeared — over seven days ago – at the campus of VCU — but police have not been able to confirm this sighting.

What do you think happened to this missing woman? There are no reports indicating that she’d have any reason to disappear without contacting her loved ones, and no reports indicate whether or not she has a boyfriend or lives any type of lifestyle that would explain any abrupt disappearance. Her loved ones are distraught and the community in which she lives is pulling together by sharing flyers and planning searches for her. Meanwhile, her phone has been turned off and her car is parked in the driveway at her parents’ home. Yet the police investigating her disappearance say there are no signs of criminal activity.

Anjelica Hadsell Update: Text Messages Questioned By Missing Coed’s Mom is an article from: The Inquisitr News

Heather Hironimus did not appear in Judge Jeffrey Gillen’s courtroom today to sign the consent form for her son’s circumcision. Last Friday, the Palm Beach County Circuit judge ordered Heather Hironimus to appear in court Tuesday with her four-year-old son and sign a consent form for his circumcision or face arrest. The judge additionally told reporters to stop using the child’s name in media reports. Heather Hironimus’ case has gained national media attention over the last year, because she and the boy’s father disagree on whether the child should have his foreskin removed. Tuesday, the judge reportedly issued a writ of bodily attachment for Hironimus’s arrest.

In 2012, Heather Hironimus and Dennis Nebus signed a parenting agreement to have the child circumcised. Initially, the boy reportedly was diagnosed with phimosis, a condition that prevents the retraction of the foreskin which, according to NHS, is normal in babies and toddlers. Since the time of that agreement, Heather Hironimus reportedly testified that the surgery is no longer needed, and she has refused to comply with the earlier parenting agreement, appealing earlier court decisions.

Late last week, Inquisitr reported that Heather Hironimus fled with her son in order to avoid the circumcision procedure. Hironimus failed to show up in court on Friday. The judge said Friday that Hironimus could avoid going to jail if she showed up with her son Tuesday to sign the consent form for circumcision.

During the hearing last year, Pediatric Urologist Charles Flack testified that the procedure would only last 17 minutes and patients have few recovery problems. He also testified that it is medically acceptable to circumcise boys up until the age of 10-years-old. He stated that, for boys older than 10-years-old, it can be problematic because an erection can cause tears in sutures. Dr. Flack also testified that the procedure was not medically necessary for the child any longer.

Ultimately, the judge in Florida ordered that the circumcision should be scheduled, according to court documents. According to Nebus, he has not been able to locate his son since February 19. Hironimus and Nebus were never married, but Nebus is reported to be the biological and legal father of the child.

Additionally, attorney Thomas Hunker (who recently began representing Heather Hironimus, according to Local 10 News) filed a motion to have a court-appointed guardian ad litem for Hironimus and Nebus’s four-year-old son. Hunker wanted a mental health professional evaluate the boy’s state of emotions to determine if circumcising him would be an emotionally safe option for the child at this time.

“It’s the boy who’s really going to have to live the rest of his life with the decision,” Hunker said, according to the Sun Sentinel.

“The child is scared to death of the procedure and doesn’t want it,” Hunter explained.

Reporter Neki Mohan now states that Hironimus and the little boy have since checked into a domestic violence center and are consequently not able to be found. According to a post by Intact America, it’s unclear if Heather Hironimus can stay in hiding at the domestic abuse shelter given that the documentation ordered by the judge for Heather’s arrest is a writ of bodily attachment pertaining to a civil suit.

“Judge entered order of attachment, allowing law enforcement to arrest Heather. She is in a domestic violence shelter with [redacted]. It’s unclear whether the order of attachment can allow her to be apprehended in the shelter.”

Heather Hironimus’s case has been followed by genital autonomy activists and some have petitioned the White House to stop the removal of the four-year-old boy’s foreskin, and a protest took place in front of the courthouse Tuesday.

Florida Judge Calls For Arrest Of Heather Hironimus, Mother Fled To Domestic Abuse Shelter To Avoid Son’s Circumcision is an article from: The Inquisitr News

If owning and operating a bed and breakfast has ever been a dream of yours, Janice Sage, owner and innkeeper of the Center Lovell Inn and Restaurant in Maine, totally understands. That’s what she wanted to do when she took over ownership of the beautiful, 210-year-old bed and breakfast 22 years ago.

But now she wants to retire, and before she does, she wants to give someone the opportunity to own the inn, and so rather than selling the property outright, she’s offering up a contest. Write an essay of 200 words or less about why you would be the next great owner for her inn, and send it in with a $125 entry fee, and the place could be yours.

All Sage needs to do to retire with the value of her business in her own pocket is attract 7,500 contestants willing to pay the $125 fee. That would give her the $900,000 the Maine property is estimated to be worth, and allow her to retire after being constantly on the go for more than two decades. And by doing it this way, she’s giving someone who may have the passion for the business but lacking the funds to do it a chance.

“There’s a lot of very talented people in the restaurant business who would like to have their own place but can’t afford it,” said Sage. “This is a way for them to have the opportunity to try.”

And Sage absolutely knows what she is talking about, since the essay contest idea is not her own — although she came by it honestly enough. Writing an essay and sending it an entry fee was how she herself became owner and innkeeper at the Center Lovell Inn. But she won’t be sharing any essay-writing tips, however; her winning entry remains the property of the previous owner and cannot be divulged.

Sage does warn potential entrants that the business of running a bed and breakfast is not for the fainthearted. “Unless you raise 14 kids, you’re not going to be used to this,” Sage said, comparing the need of seven clean, ready, welcoming rooms being needed every day of the week during peak season. “Look, this is something you start when you’re young. It takes a lot of stamina.”

The property, which is a little over three hours from Boston, includes the inn itself, which, according to its website, has ten guest bedrooms with their own sitting areas, as well as outbuildings, all sitting on a total of 12 acres with views of the Presidential Range of mountains and Kezar Lake. And not only does the winning contestant get all of that, Sage is throwing in all the furnishings and a nice monetary cushion of $20,000 to help you get started.

It’s pretty much a BYOB deal, though — all food and liquor will be removed from the property before ownership is transferred.

But if you think you are the right person, all you have to do is explain why you want to run a country inn, in 200 words or less, and send it in with the $125 entry fee by May 17th, 2015. Beyond strongly recommending that all contestants use good grammar and spelling, Sage doesn’t offer any other guidelines.

There are a few strings, but they seem pretty negligible. The winner of the contest and new owner of the inn must agree to keep the property up and running as a bed and breakfast for at least one year, or a total of 185 operating days. In addition to that, the building itself must be kept painted white, with the roof and shutters maintained in either forest green, hunter green, or black.

So, what do you think? Would you be willing to try your hand at an essay that may net you a profitable business?

And click here to read about three guys who took the idea of a bed and breakfast to another level, going from rags to riches in a short matter of time.
