Liza Minnelli's Ex David Gest Found Dead At 62 In His London Hotel Room

Posted on Tue Apr 12th, 2016 9:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


Liza Minnelli's flamboyant ex David Gest was found has found dead in his hotel room at the Four Season in London at the age of 62.

The over-the-top music producer, who had been married to Minnelli from 2002 until 2003 (but officially divorced in 2007), had recently gained a following in the United Kingdom after appearing on the the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.

Gest's friend Imad Handi said in a statement earlier today, "It is with great sadness that I can confirm that David Gest has died today. David was truly larger than life. He was not just a huge talent and a dear friend but a showbiz icon."

On Tuesday morning, police were called to the Four Seasons hotel after there reports of a "an unexplained death," reports Daily Mail

A Scotland Yard spokesman said, "Police were called at 10.17 on Tuesday 12 April to the Four Seasons hotel, in Westferry Circus, E14, to reports of an unexplained death of a man in his 60s. London Ambulance Service were called to the scene. Life was pronounced extinct at the hotel. A post-mortem will be held in due course. Next of kin are in the process of being informed."

Oddly enough, this comes just three months after the memorable moment when Celebrity Big Brother's Tiffany Pollard (whom you may know as "New York" from Flavor of Love) mistakenly thought Gest had died because housemate Angie Bowie (who was married to the late David Bowie) merely told her that, "David is dead," upon finding out that her ex husband had died. Pollard had a hysterical reaction when she thought her housemate had suddenly died -- and the whole thing was captured on camera.

Gest was a very popular cast mate on the show, but had to leave early after only 13 days due to health problems. Another odd twist is that Gest, who was famous for his close friendship with Michael Jackson, was preparing for his UK tour of his one-man show David Gest Is Not Dead But Alive With Soul, which was set to begin in July.

Last month said he ominously said he was through with the United States and wanted to die in England.

He said: "I will never go back to LA; I will die here and want to be buried in York. I love this country much more than my own."

We guess he got his wish ...

They love the spotlight!

Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, and Zendaya worked the red carpet at Marie Claire's Fresh Faces party in West Hollywood last night, and the teenage reality star couldn't help but plant a smooch on sister Kendall's bestie. Is it just us, or does Zendaya look super uncomfortable having to rub shoulders with these two?

The girls, along with Ellie Goulding and Gugu Mbatha-Ra, grace five different covers of the latest issue and gave great interviews to accompany them. Baldwin dished on dating Justin Bieber, and made it clear she wants to keep that part of her life private. "I don’t want attention out of dating somebody. Texts started coming through, crazy phone calls…it’s hard to date somebody in this industry. You have to have really thick skin and be very strong. You have to focus on the person and nothing else," she confessed.

Ever the narcissist, Kimmy K's little sister thought it was a good idea to take credit for making wigs trendy, and received more than a little backlash over the comment. "I started wigs, and now everyone is wearing wigs. Kim [Kardashian] just used my wig guy last night. ... I just do whatever I want to do, and people will follow,” she boasted to the glossy.

Nobody can deny these ladies know how to command attention!

 

Megan Fox Is Pregnant With Her Third Child

Much to our shock, Megan Fox is knocked up with her third baby! What?!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actress made the big baby bump reveal when she wore a sexy bodycon dress to CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Monday night. The actress made sure all eyes were on her and her growing belly when she stepped out with Will Arnett at the event.

There's no doubt that the leggy display was intended to catch the attention of the press -- and it certainly worked!

Our real question is: who's the dad?! We of course think it's her estranged ex, Brian Austin Green, who are parents to two sons Noah, 3, and Bodhi, 2.

The news comes as a surprise because Fox filed for divorce from Green in August 2015 after five years of marriage. In September, BAG filed for spousal support from his more successful wife. But since then, we've seen the couple around town and it seems like they never really did separate.

So we have a feeling that baby No. three's daddy is the Beverly Hills, 90210 star. Well if a relationship isn't really working -- it always seems to help to throw another kid into the mix!

Good luck, guys!

 

EXCLUSIVE - Kim Kardashian Rushes To New Orleans To Visit Pal Raquel Smith, Wife Of Slain NFL Star Will Smith

Posted on Tue Apr 12th, 2016 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kim Kardashian has worn a lot of hats over the years, but today the reality starlet is taking on the role of a loyal friend, as X17online can report exclusively, by hopping on a plane to New Orleans to visit Raquel Smith, who just lost her husband, former NFL star Will Smith.

Kim took the opportunity to sport her hubby's Life of Pablo limited edition custom-inked denim jacket (with some really weird sh*t written on it -- check it out) and some Yeezy Season 3 see-through PVC heels. She had on her uniform of all-black -- jeans, tight tank and choker.

Smith, 34, was shot to death by Cardell Hayes following a car accident in New Orleans on Saturday night, and Raquel, 33, was shot in the leg twice during the road rage incident. Hayes has since been charged with second degree murder.

Smith played for the New Orleans Saints at the same time as Kim's former fiance, Reggie Bush, and a source tells X17online exclusively that the ladies have remained very close over the years.

"Kim knows this is absolutely breaking Raquel's heart," our insider told us. "The Smiths have three kids, and Kim wants to try and do everything she can to console the family. She knows Raquel would have done the same for her."

As soon as Kim heard the news, she tweeted a photo of herself with Smith and wrote:
    "My heart breaks for my sweet friend Rockie. I'm deeply saddened by your loss. Will, you were an angel to your family on earth and you will continue to be in the life after. May God bless you! Sending so many prayers to her and her family!!! May the Lord surround her and her children with love and protection during this devastating time."

"We are thankful for the outpouring of support and prayers," the Smith family said in a statement. "We ask that you continue to respect the family’s privacy as they grieve the loss of a devoted husband, father and friend."

 

EXCLUSIVE - Kesha Will Be Surprise Performer At Coachella This Year!

Posted on Tue Apr 12th, 2016 5:59am PDT       By X17 Staff

Kesha may still be embroiled in a nasty legal battle with producer Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, but X17online can report exclusively that the singer, who turned 29 in March, will perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this month. Surprise!

A source close to Kesha tells X17online exclusively, "Kesha is beginning to realize that she needs to take her career into her own hands, and this is her way of doing just that." No word on who organized the gig, but it certainly sounds like a better deal than having to work with Gottwald.

In her suit, which was filed in 2014, Kesha alleges that Gottwald sexually and emotionally abused her, and she asked to be released from her contract with both Gottwald and Sony Music, which is set to run through 2017. In February a judge ruled that Kesha would NOT be freed from her contract, and though it was reported that Gottwald was going to be let go from Sony, that has yet to happen.

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Rob And Chyna Hit In-N-Out After Visiting With Khloe Kardashian

Posted on Mon Apr 11th, 2016 1:40pm PDT       By X17 Staff


We have so many questions!

Rob Kardashian and fiancee Blac Chyna swung through the In-n-Out drive thru this afternoon after popping by Khloe Kardashian's house for a two hour visit, and we're so confused by entire outing. First of all, since when did Khloe become cool with her brother and the family nemesis? Last time we checked, the reality star was posting cryptic messages about loyalty and family on Instagram, and hadn't even commented on their engagement.

Also, what happened to the sock designer's five week diet and fitness routine? We're pretty sure cheeseburgers don't count as a health food, but if he's getting his protein-style than that technically adheres to a low-carb regime.

Later on, the controversial couple stopped by the bank, which is what they're doing practically every time we catch them out in public. First they hit Chase and then Bank of America... Is the former stripper forcing her man to open joint accounts with her? Or is she cashing checks for an upcoming TV wedding special? Either way, it's bizarre!



 

Caitlyn Jenner Fakes An Orgasm And We Can Never Unsee It

Posted on Mon Apr 11th, 2016 12:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


You've seen her shopping, wearing a bikini and now she's doing the ultimate womanly thing -- faking an orgasm!

Caitlyn Jenner is really going out on a limb for an upcoming episode of I Am Cait. The former Olympian, her gal pal Candis Cayne and their crew visit a gender-free orgasm workshop -- and they are instructed to fake orgasms in their group session.

At one point the instructor says to the gender-bending crew: "A gender-free orgasm means an orgasm without genitals."

The whole thing is 50 shades of awkward!

We guess now that Caitlyn is a woman -- she's got to learn the important stuff!

 

Bella Hadid Teases Her Hot Body And A Super Secret Project In A Thong

Posted on Mon Apr 11th, 2016 10:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


Bella Hadid pulled out all the sexy stops when she teased a secret new project that she's posing for -- and she looks sexy AF in it.

In the photo, the 19-year-old has a curly faux bob and is wearing only a teeny tiny black thong, along with a sparkly body chain and choker.

Along with the racy snap, Bella wrote, “💥💥Sorry mama 😇 Secret project with my dream team @nomadrj and @elizabethsulcer 😻😻😈😇😇 #BTS”

We have a feeling the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star isn't going to mind -- that fame-seeking lady has been milking her looks for ages!

And in case you were wondering about what Bella's taking it all off for -- we're thinking that looking at her dream team's credentials that she's most likely doing a shoot for an international edition of Vogue.

Oh la la!
