Josh Duggar a frontrunner for Hypocrite of the Year

TATTLE COULDN'T NAME YOU too many Duggars, except we'd guess a lot of "J" names, but there's no question Josh is our favorite.

Or should that be least favorite?

And should he change his name from "Josh" to "Jerk"?

Calling himself "the biggest hypocrite ever," the ex-reality star has apologized for a "secret addiction" to pornography and for cheating on his wife.

"While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife," he said in a statement posted to, and later removed from, the family's website yesterday.

The statement was apparently spurred by Duggar's name appearing among millions exposed in a data breach of customers of the Ashley Madison website, an online service that caters to people looking to cheat on their spouses. Leaked data showed that a Josh Duggar, whose address was the same as the reality TV star's, was a member of AshleyMadison.com from December 2012 to October 2014.

In his statement, Duggar did not address whether he had used AshleyMadison. com, nor did he detail the exact nature of his infidelity. A family rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the statement or its removal.

Duggar's admission comes several weeks after his exposure that, as a teen, he molested four of his sisters and a babysitter. Those revelations led to the cancellation of "19 Kids and Counting," the hit TLC reality on which he appeared with his 18 siblings and his parents.

"I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him," Josh said in his statement.

"The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings," stated Duggar, who in his website testament sought the public's forgiveness and their prayers "for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time." The couple's fourth child, a daughter, was born a month ago.

In an accompanying statement on the family's website, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar said, "When we learned of this late last night our hearts were broken." That statement too was removed.

* In other "J" name news, Jared Fogle of Subway fame and underage sex infamy, will be single again.

People magazine reported that Jared's wife, Katie, officially filed for divorce from her husband of five years on the same day he agreed to plead guilty to charges of sex with minors and possession of kiddie porn.

There's a dealbreaker.

Katie cited "an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage." The couple have two children.

On Wednesday, Jared admitted that between 2007 and 2013 he had sex with at least two minors and obtained child pornography of 12 other children as young as 6 years old, according to federal court documents.

Thanks to "The Hunger Games" she won't be going hungry.

Jennifer Lawrence topped Forbes' list of Highest Earning Actresses with an estimated $52 million in pre-tax earnings between June 2014 and June 2015.

Here's the rest of the Top 10:

2. Scarlett Johansson, $35.5 million

3. Melissa McCarthy, $23 million

4. Bingbing Fan, $21 million

5. Jennifer Aniston, $16.5 million

6. Julia Roberts, $16 million

7. Angelina Jolie, $15 million

8. Reese Witherspoon, $15 million

9. Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart, $12 million (tie)

10. Cameron Diaz, $11 million.

In case you couldn't guess, Bingbing Fan is the most popular actress in China and finishes so high thanks to her billion-person Bingbing Fan base.

* Caitlyn Jenner could face a vehicular manslaughter charge in the chain-reaction crash that killed a woman last February.

Sheriff's investigators found she was driving "unsafe for the prevailing road conditions" when her Cadillac Escalade, towing an off-road vehicle, rear-ended a Lexus, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said.

Trying to avoid cars approaching a red light, Jenner was unable to stop. She smacked into two cars and the Lexus was pushed into traffic where it was pulverized head-on by a Hummer.

If convicted, Jenner could face up to a year in jail. That's unlikely since she has no prior record.

* Chris Harrison of ABC's "The Bachelor" is this year's host of the Miss America pageant in Atlantic City.

It's the seventh time he has handled the duties.

If he can pretend he cares who wins "The Bachelor," he should be able to pretend he cares who wins "Miss America."

But why not raise the stakes and make Miss America the next "Bachelorette"?

Or better yet, take the Miss America contestants and put them all in a house with the next "Bachelor."

The one who gets the final rose wins the tiara and the sash.
