The Family Research Council responded on Friday to reports that Josh Duggar had two accounts on Ashley Madison, a site dedicated to cheating spouses. Council president Tony Perkins wrote on the organization’s website, “Last night we learned from online reports about allegations concerning Josh Duggar and then read his confession today. We are grieved by Josh’s conduct and the devastating impact of his pornography addiction and marital unfaithfulness.”

The Family Research Council statement continued, “Our hearts hurt for his family, and all those affected by Josh’s actions. His deceitful behavior harms his family, his friends, his former coworkers, and the cause he has publicly espoused. Those of us who advocate for family values in the public square are held to a higher standard, and Josh’s failures serve as a painful reminder of the destructive effects of not living with integrity. We are praying for the family.”

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Duggar released a statement of his own earlier this week, saying he was the “biggest hypocrite ever” for cheating on his wife, Anna. According to Duggar’s paid profiles on Ashley Madison, he was looking for women who were interested in “one-night stands,” “sharing fantasies” and open to “experimenting with sex toys.”

This recent backlash for Duggar came just one month after he apologized for molesting a number of minor girls when he was a teen, including his sisters Jill and Jessa. As Gossip Cop noted at the time, Duggar resigned as the head of the Family Research Council as a result.

Jared Fogle is still allowed to see his two young children, but was given restricted access to other children and any person under 18 years old, Gossip Cop has learned. The former Subway spokesman, who is under house arrest, signed a court agreement that limits his interaction with any minor other than his kids with wife Katie McLaughlin.

According to Fogle’s agreement, he cannot have unsupervised visits with minors and he’s banned from using a computer or a device that has Internet capabilities “without written permission of the probation office.” Fogle is also not allowed to possess pornography. Any online activity Fogle does engage in will be closely monitored.

The four-page court document also states Fogle has to wear a GPS device, give up his passport and avoid eye contact with any person involved with his case. Additionally, the former spokesman is also not allowed to travel anywhere outside of Southern Indiana, unless granted permission by a court.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Fogle agreed to plead guilty after he was charged with possessing child pornography and having sex with 14 underage girls. After Fogle enters his guilty plea, according to the court agreement, his wife will be the one who determines if he can have contact with their children. As Gossip Cop noted, McLaughlin announced earlier this week she’s planning to divorce Fogle.

The Making Of One Direction “Drag Me Down” Video – WATCH!

One Direction Drag Me Down

(Good Morning America)

One Direction released on Friday its brand new music video “Drag Me Down,” in which Harry Styles and his band mates are seen preparing for an outer space mission, and now Gossip Cop has a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at how it was made. Watch below.

In the music video, One Direction filmed scenes in different parts of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, though never actually lifted off into space. However, they did get to drive cool NASA vehicles and meet robots. One location the singers filmed at was the NASA WB-57 High Altitude Research Aircraft, which is used for high atmosphere research work. The band also got to hang out in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, which is where astronauts train.

The boys also got to visit some cool places on their own to film solo scenes in the video. Styles met Robonaut, a robot that mimics human movement and is currently on the International Space Station (ISS) 250 miles above Earth. Liam Payne actually boarded a replica of the ISS, while Louis Tomlinson got behind the wheel of the Space Exploration Vehicle rover, which could eventually be used to study the surface of Mars. And Niall Horan was seen in the Partial Gravity Simulator, which makes you feel like you’re actually floating in outer space.

One Direction also got to wear orange spacesuits for the video, and film a scene aboard the Orion Spacecraft, which can travel deep into space. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below of the making of “Drag Me Down,” and tell us what you think.
