X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Chaz Bono sat down with Good Morning America to discuss his new life as a man, and even though he's going through gender reassignment in the public eye, he seems to be handling it quite well. Bono, who is eight months into his transformation tells GMA, "This was a very difficult decision to make, but it was the best decision I've ever made. I feel great ... I feel so much more comfortable that I've ever been. I've felt male as far back as I can remember." Click here to watch the video of his interview with GMA Chaz Bono was born Chastity Bono, and he says he always identified more with boys. "I felt like one of the boys. My friends were boys," he said. "In school I related to boys ... As you get older it's more confusing. Suddenly, there's more pressure to fit in to your assigned gender." Bono has received hormone treatments that have caused his voice to deepen, and he's already at the point where he can shave his face. While the whole process is a very private matter, Bono says he knew it was what he wanted. "Then it came down to realizing that I have to live my life for myself and that life is short and life is precious." Looking back, Bono said, "it would almost be easy to say, 'Why did I wait so long to do this?'"

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - This morning on The Today Show, Robert Pattinson admitted to Matt Lauer that he and Kristen Stewart are engaged. In a playful game of "True or False," Matt Lauer on the Today Show asked Pattinson about a series of rumors. "You're dating a costar whose name rhymes with Tristan Blewart," Lauer asked. "Yes" Pattinson responded, trying not to crack up. "You got engaged?" "Ahhh, yes," Rob responded after a pause. But Rob also admitted that he got into a "butt accident" and had a "drug overdose," so this is clearly British sarcasm at work, but there's no denying that Rob's running out of ways to deny the relationship!

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - While the rest of us were drooling over photos of Robstener at the LA premiere of New Moon, Miley Cyrus was busy telling Cleveland radio station Q92 that "I don't want anything to do with it!" When an interviewer asked her what she thought of the Twilight mania, Cyrus responded, I've never seen it and nor will I ever." Cyrus continued, "I don't believe in it. I don't like vampires. ... I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm watching my TV at night. I don't like it. I don't want anything to do with it. I don't like the shirts. I don't like any of it," the popstar said emphatically. Harsh words considering she's set to work with Twilight's producers on a new fantasy film called Wings, which is somewhat like Twilight, but with fairies! But I bet the Twilovers aren't too put off by Miley's comments. It's not like they've ever seen an episode of Hannah Montana either!

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - In a new interview airing this Wednesday, Janet Jackson blames Dr. Conrad Murray for her brother's death this past June, and she added that she feels he should no longer be allowed to practice medicine. In a sit down with Robin Roberts on the ABC News special, In the Spotlight, Janet says, "He was the one that was administering. I think he is responsible." Janet recounted the events on the day Michael died, telling Robin, "I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call ... [my assistant] said, 'Your brother's been taken to the hospital. It's on CNN right now.' I called everyone's. There's a line busy or - someone wasn't picking up. I spoke to mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya. I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking nobody's calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that's how I found out that he was no longer ... I couldn't believe it." Jackson said that she and the entire family were in a state of disbelief. "It just didn't ring true to me. It felt like a dream," she said. "It's still so difficult for me to believe. It's, you know, you have to accept what is. But it's hard. You have to move on with your life. You have to accept what is and I understand that."

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are designing a collection of snake-inspired gold and silver jewelry and accessories with Asprey, and according to company officials and Women's Wear Daily, the line will go on sale at Asprey stores later this week. The aptly titled limited edition "Protector" collection was in the works for more than a year, and all net proceeds from sales will go to Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which Jolie co-founded in 2006. As you may recall, the charity raises awareness and money to help and educate child victims of war, conflict and natural disasters. Click here to see the gallery of the jewelry in Brad and Angelina's new Asprey collection So why the snake? According to WWD, Angelina was given a snake ring while she was pregnant with Shiloh, and she considers the serpent to be a protector of her family. Prices start at $525, and though Brangelina wouldn't comment on the collection itself, they did discuss the goals of the charity, saying, “These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place - to just be children. Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school.” Click here for all of X17online's Brad Pitt stories Click here for all of X17online's Angelina Jolie stories]]> tag:x17online.com,2009:/news//8.28081 2009-11-13T18:49:26Z 2009-11-13T20:05:11Z

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Lindsay Lohan partied at a private Hollywood Hills residence until 6:40AM this morning, but what's even more shocking than the late hours is the fact that she hung out with former friends-turned-mortal-enemies Paris Hilton and Brandon Davis, along with her former flame and Hilton's ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos! Lindsay started off the evening at a Kitson event and then headed to Voyeur, where she stayed until 1AM with Paris and Nicky Hilton and several other friends. The group then headed to a private house party off Sunset, and while Paris and Nicky left around 4AM, Lindsay wasn't seen walking out the door until 6:40AM. Click here to see X17online's gallery of Lindsay Lohan leaving the party at sunrise this morning! During the early morning festivities, we spotted Brandon Davis and Lindsay Lohan hanging out in a bathroom, and an X17 photographer tells X17online exclusively, "I couldn't believe these two were hanging out. After the Firecrotch incident, I thought Lindsay would never even look at Brandon without punching him in the face, but they seem to have found some common ground." Click here to see X17online's video of Brandon Davis and Paris Hilton insulting Lindsay Lohan! Later on, Stavros donned an interesting disguise and chucked everything from eggs to salsa at photographers, and our X17 lensman told us, "Stavros was going crazy. He grabbed everything he could from the kitchen and went out on the balcony and started throwing things at us. But he was laughing and having fun. I guess he hasn't been in the spotlight since he and Paris broke up so he was clearly enjoying the attention." Paris, Nicky and Stavros left separately just before 4am, but Lindsay showed no signs of slowing down. Our photographer tells us, "It seemed like Lindsay was having a standoff against photographers to see who could stay up the longest! Lindsay was totally partying like a rock star. She can outlast all the others, that's for sure. She's Queen of the Night!" We finally caught Lindsay leaving at 6:40am, and one of her girlfriends picked her up in a black Mercedes.

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber are going after the man (left) who allegedly attempted to extort $100,000 from the famous couple over a photo of their daughter Kaia "bound and gagged."

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber are going after the man (left) who allegedly attempted to extort $100,000 from the famous couple over a photo of their daughter Kaia "bound and gagged." The photo was allegedly taken by a former nanny during a game of "cops and robbers," and was apparently stolen later by her friend, German male model, Edis Kayalar. Kayalar met with Rande Gerber to return the photo, saying he wanted to make sure it was kept out of the tabloids, but after Gerber supposedly paid him $1,000 dollars, the couple alleges that Kayalar demanded a hundred grand, saying he had a second copy of the photo. Crawford and Gerber filed a criminal complaint in a Los Angeles federal court yesterday, and released a statement through a rep:

A criminal complaint was filed today in federal court in Los Angeles by the U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI stating that Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have been the victims of an on-going extortion scheme. This crime has been committed by Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of a former nanny employed by the family. Mr. Kayalar threatened to sell an image taken of the couple's then-seven-year-old daughter. There was no previous awareness by Mr. Gerber and Ms. Crawford of the existence of the photograph when they were contacted by Mr. Kayalar. The photo was taken by the former nanny as part of a purported game without the knowledge of the parents. The couple reported the extortion threat to the police and the FBI began a criminal investigation in the matter. Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter.

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - X17online has spoken with an eyewitness on the scene of last night's altercation between Mike Tyson, 43, and a videographer trying to capture the fighter on tape at LAX and here's the story we get ... Tyson arrived at the international terminal Tom Bradley at Los Angeles International Airport. He was returning to the States after a four-date Come Back To The Fans Tour in England. Tyson's luggage was lost and he was sent to United Terminal 7 to file a report. Our source says he was with his wife Lakiha Spicer and their daughter Milan. Our source tells X17online exclusively:

"Mike was really getting upset the longer this paparazzo kept following him. It's a long walk from the international terminal to Terminal 7 where he was sent for his luggage and he was so mad that he had to walk there with his wife and daughter and this annoying guy following him the whole way. You could see the rage building."

A videographer named Tony (not from X17) was following Tyson throughout the ordeal. Tyson was upset about the luggage situation and was further infuriated by Tony following him. The eye witness tells X17online Tyson went to the restroom at one point and the videographer followed him in there! Our eyewitness says:

"When this photographer followed Tyson into the bathroom, it was insane. You could literally see steam coming out of Mike's ears. With those tattoos on his face and that look in his eyes, it was really, really scary."

That caused the altercation and the police were called. The photographer was knocked out, we're told; but apparently it couldn't be established who threw the first punch so both Tyson and the photographer were arrested. It is unclear whether the photographer was treated for injuries or not and if so, where. Mike Tyson was charged with misdemeanor battery and released not long after his arrest.

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Twilight co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been careful to avoid any admissions that they're a couple offscreen as well as onscreen, but last night they proved they were romantically involved when photogs caught them in an intimate moment, holding hands at Le Bourget airport in Paris. Fans of the films have been speculating about their relationship ever since their steamy connection onscreen in the first film, but Rob and Kristen have gone to great lengths recently to hide it, making sure they're never photographed together and talking around the relationship in interviews. But yesterday, they seemed to be sending a message of a different kind. Says one photog on the scene, "Kristen almost never smiles when she's photographed, but from the minute she arrived in Paris, she seemed lighter, happier. Maybe being in the most beautiful city in the world relaxed her, and she became tired of hiding." The photog continued, "She looked so calm and content with Rob's hand in hers, I think she finally decided not to fight it anymore and let her relationship live out in the open!" With the Twilighters on a press tour of Europe for New Moon, perhaps Rob and Kristen will be even more inspired to stop fighting the rumors and reveal what fans have known from the beginning: that they're definitely a couple!
