Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald welcomed their first son on Nov. 5, and on Wednesday night they revealed the newborn's name in a YouTube post: Spurgeon Elliot Seewald. Spurgeon?! Where'd that come from?
“His nickname has been Quincy since we first found out we were pregnant," Jessa said. "We’ve been working on finding out a name, and we finally figured it out!â€
“Charles Spurgeon was a preacher who lived back in the 19th century and he had a big impact on our lives,†Seewald explained. “Elliot, that was the last name of Jim Elliot and Elizabeth Elliot, and Jim Elliot was a missionary.†Of course.
Spurgeon weighed 9 lbs and 11 ounces, and he was 21 1/4 inches long. From baby to mom to dad, everyone in the family looks happy and healthy. Congrats!

Justin Bieber covers the November issue of i-D magazine, and the 21-year-old pop superstar opened up about his relationships with Selena Gomez, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin!
On dating Selena too young:
"I think with that relationship… I put so much of myself on the line with her, because I was so distant with everyone else. So it's like, you have the world who's loving you but it's not like they know my heart — they don't know me. So when I found that love I was just like, 'Woah, I want to hold on to this.' And I just put everything into it and in reality there's just no holding back. You're just like, 'This love feels so good.' It's like, magical. There's nothing like it. So I felt that and I just didn't want to let it go. When it was hard, I was just like, 'I want to stick this out. So it was on again, off again, on again, off again. We were working out how to be in a relationship, how to be ourselves, who we were, in the middle of having people judge our relationship through the media. I think that really messed my head up too."
So who helped him get over SG? None other than Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Hailey Baldwin:
"They are literally the sweetest girls. They have the best hearts. They care about me in the same way that I care about them. When people say mean things about them, I get defensive and when it happens to me they get defensive."
He wouldn't comment on whether they were romantically involved, but we already know the answer to that. He did however talk about getting high, his pet monkey and Kanye West.
On his weed smoking days:
"You just figure out what you want to be and who you don't want to be. You have all these questions and you start answering these questions. I mean, honestly, it's just about perception. At the end of the day, there are people who don't think that's good. And if they don't feel that's good then I don't want to make people feel uncomfortable. So I'm not going to put it in their face. You'll never see me smoking. Because that is not who I am. If it's something I do then it's something I do, but it's not who I am and what I want to put on blast for the world to see. Like, who's Snoop Dogg? That's the dude who smokes a lot of weed. That's become his identity almost. And I don't want my identity to be anything but who I am and what my music is portraying me to be."
On Yeezy:
"Kanye's the best. He just talks. For so long. And it's so dope. Even when it sounds crazy, I know that I'm listening to how he feels because he always puts things into such a different perspective. He makes you wonder. To get that stamp of approval from him made me feel comfortable with the project."
On that monkey business:
"It wasn't a weird thing for me. Obviously people looked at it like, 'Why does he have a monkey?' But if you could get a monkey, wouldn't you want a monkey? I don't see anything wrong with having a monkey. I might get another one."
But that wasn't all! During a recent chat with Us Weekly, the Biebs referred to Selena as his "homie," adding that she still contacts him. Umm, what?!
"We’re friends. We don’t talk every day. But every now and then, she hits my phone up. I hit her phone up, too, I hit her phone up too! It’s not just her," he said. "It goes both ways, I was just f*cking around." Well, wait. Now we're confused. Do they or don't they still talk!?
One thing Bieber isn't confused about is his current love life. "I like a beautiful girl. Who doesn’t? [But] I’m not really ready to date right now. I’m just trying to just focus on my music and stuff right now. I’m happily single. Single life is good. It’s not bad at all."

Is she dressing to commemorate Veteran's Day?
Outfitted in a camp jacket, and army green leotard and tutu, the two-year-old and daddy Kanye West were off to ballet class on Wednesday afternoon.
Many of the Kardashians were in NYC to see Kendall's debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion show -- so it looks like Yeezy is on daddy duty. We love that he's so hands on with his daughter -- but he could look a little happier about it!
We have a feeling Kanye's curating/designing Nori's ensembles -- not just his wife's -- because that outfit looks like it was custom-made for the tiny ballerina. You don't see a lot of olive green tutus at the dance wear store!
Kanye was joined by Kourtney Kardashian and daughter Penelope, who also takes ballet and tap with her cute cuz.

What a piece of garbage!
Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson's ex-boyfriend Brooks Ayers is finally admitting he fabricated medical documents in an attempt to prove he was receiving cancer treatments. The validity of his illness claims had been questioned all season long by the cast members of the Bravo reality show, and Us Weekly confirmed this week with the City of Hope hospital that they have never treated a patient by his name.
"Words cannot express the deep regret that I have in fabricating documents to 'prove' to the world that I, in fact, have cancer. What I did was wrong and inexcusable. I acted alone, without Vicki's knowledge, to produce documents for a reality TV show in hopes of putting doubts about my cancer to rest. I never intended to disclose my actual medical records or details about my private and personal medical history, thus the rationalization of presenting documents that weren't true simply for a 'storyline' for the show," he told E! News.
The pathological liar still can't say he never had cancer, though!
"From this day forward, my own personal journey with this disease will remain private as I initially intended over a year ago. My sincerest apologies to my family, friends, loved ones, and those who are battling this horrid disease for any additional pain and/or stress that I have caused. As [University of Louisville basketball coach] Rick Pitino once said, 'Mistakes can be good. They are fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching [life], I've learned from making mistakes.' I made a mistake yet I have learned a huge lesson as well," he added.

Who knew they were such good friends?!
French Montana celebrated his birthday at 1OAK in Hollywood last night, and Justin Bieber was just one of his many famous friends that came out for the soiree. JB posed in a series of Instagram photos with the Moroccan-born rapper, and it appears a good time was had by all! Other attendees included Snoop Dogg, P. Diddy, and Chris Brown. One person noticeably absent? French's ex-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian!
Even after they broke up, French and Khloe had nothing but nice things to say about each other and appeared to stay in contact, but we bet that has changed now that she's dating James Harden and looking after Lamar Odom.
The "Don't Panic" crooner might not have the Kardashian clan to make him famous anymore, but he's still got The Biebs!

They almost stole their daughter's spotlight!
Caitlyn and Kris Jenner put their differences aside to support daughter Kendall at last night's Victoria's Secret fashion show in NYC, and the exes even took the opportunity to pose for a pic together!
They former married pair didn't sit together at the runway show, but they at least played nice in front of the cameras. The transgender Olympian was sporting some pretty serious side boob, and we have to wonder if the Kardashian matriarch is at all jealous of her ex-husband's good looks?
After strutting their stuff on the catwalk, Kenny and her close pal and fellow angel Gigi Hadid hit an after party in revealing dresses. We guess after you prance around in your undies, it's no big deal to show a lot of skin in your evening wear!

See you next fall, J-Law!
We know that Jennifer Lawrence isn't the picture of grace and elegance, which is one of the reasons why we love her, so we weren't totally surprised that the Oscar winner fell (several times) last night at the international premiere of her highly anticipated film Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 in Madrid, Spain.
The 25-year-old superstar got her heel got caught in the train of her sexy Ralph Lauren frock at the glittering red-carpet premiere.
FYI: Jennifer famously fell while taking the steps to accept the Academy Award for Best Actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook in 2013.
Previously in Paris, France for the European promo tour, the cast has three more stops to make on their whirlwind tour, including New York, Los Angeles and Beijing.
Earlier this week, Mockingjay - Part 2 premiered in Berlin earlier this week. The highly anticipated fourth and final film in the Hunger Games franchise will be released on November 19. We can't wait!

What is with these men and boning the hired help?!
Gavin Rossdale was cheating with family nanny Mindy Mann for three YEARS before Gwen Stefani uncovered their affair, the newest issue of Us Weekly reports.
The No Doubt singer discovered explicit exchanges between her then-husband and Mann on a shared iPad after being alerted by another staff member. The damning evidence? Nude photos of Mann and texts about meeting up for sex!
"The iPad was linked to Gavin’s phone. One of the other nannies discovered the exchange and told Gwen," a source told the mag. When confronted, the father-of-three initially tried to brush off the infidelity as "flirtation" but ended up confessing shortly after. "[The confession] completely devastated her. She was mortified, livid, and embarrassed," the source added.
The Voice coach discovered the truth this past February and filed for divorce in August. She has moved on and is now dating Blake Shelton, while Rossdale has largely stayed off the radar.
Maybe Gwen and Jen Garner could grab coffee and swap stories of betrayal?
