BREAKING NEWS - Former ESPN Reporter Erin Andrews Awarded $55 Million In Peeping Tom Trial

Posted on Mon Mar 7th, 2016 4:05pm PDT       By X17 Staff


ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was awarded $55 million in damages today after a jury found the sports show host suffered significant distress damage to her reputation and career after an illegally-recorded video was posted online in 2008.

Andrews had a stalker, Michael Barrett, who rigged a camera in the keyhole of her Nashville Marriott hotel room and recorded video of her nude and put it on the Internet. Barrett pleaded guilty to stalking in 2009 and served prison time. An estimated 16.8 million people have watched the video and a psychologist who testified in the case, says Andrews suffers from mild post-traumatic stress disorder. On the stand, she told jurors, "One of the worst thoughts I have is when I walk around a stadium ... there's always that thought, as I walk right by the stands, and I think, 'My God, everyone in this stadium has seen that video.'"

The case hinged on the hotel staff's culpability in the case. A staff member told Barrett where Andrews was staying and allowed him to book a room next to hers. About half of the settlement will come from Barrett and the other half from the investment group that manages the hotel.

Andrews, 37, thanked jurors for their decision in a Tweet posted today: "I would like to thank the Nashville court, the court personnel and the jury for their service. The support I've received from the people of Nashville has been overwhelming. I would also like to thank my family, friends and legal team. I've been honored by all the support from victims around the world. Their outreach has helped me be able to stand up and hold accountable those whose job it is to protect everyone's safety, security and privacy."

Rob Kardashian Has Lost A Ton Of Weight!

Love does a body good!

Rob Kardashian caught a flight out of LAX this afternoon, and we barely recognized the reclusive reality star because he's lost so much weight! The Arthur George sock designer wasn't traveling with girlfriend Blac Chyna, but earlier today he made it fully clear that they are still together despite pesky breakup rumors.

"Chy and I are not broken up we just feel like it would be a lot healthier for our relationship if we kept a lot more to ourselves. It's impossible to have a positive relationship with so much negativity from the media and outsiders and we would appreciate it if everyone respects that -ChyRo," he wrote on his Instagram account.

His new relationship seems to be the catalyst for his on-going slim down, with his lady love cooking him healthy meals at home in an effort to help him get back into fighting form. He's really adhering to his new eating regime, too, because he brought along an orange as a snack for his flight.

The Kardashian clan may hate their brother's girlfriend, but there's no denying that she's helped him come out of his depression!

 

Kelly Clarkson Said Her Record Label Blackmailed Her Into Working With Dr. Luke

Posted on Mon Mar 7th, 2016 1:36pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Kelly Clarkson is not holding back!

The first American Idol winner just said that the only reason she continued to work with Dr. Luke was that her record label forced her to work with him. Yikes!

In a radio interview with Australia's KIIS FM on Monday, Kelly said, "the last time I worked with him I only worked with him because literally I got blackmailed by my label."

The pregnant singer, who worked with Luke on her 2004 hit single "Since U Been Gone" and in 2005 for the song, "Behind These Hazel Eyes," continued, "It was a really hard time for me. ... They were like, 'We will not put your label out if you don't do this'."

The big-voiced songstress said that she caved to the record label's demands because she knew her touring crew was financially dependent upon her.

Kelly added, "We have a whole crew to support...people that depend on us for their livelihood so sometimes you have to make decisions that you just have to swallow that pill."

The "Mr. Know It All" singer said that while she couldn't talk about what happened with Kesha, she could "remark on his character."

Kelly was quick to mention that nothing like what Kesha is claiming happened to her but the two did not get along -- "he never did anything like that [alleged sexual assault] to me." But Kelly did say, "We've clashed before... He's difficult to work with, he's kind of demeaning."

"Unfortunately when you have that poor a character that so many artists don't like you, that's not normal," she added.

Kelly also said, "Obviously he's a talented dude but he's lied a lot. ... Musically it's been really hard for me because he will just lie to people and it makes the artist look bad."

Looks like Kelly C ain't a fan of the doc!

 

Kendall Jenner And Chris Brown Ignite Romance Rumors By Partying Together In Paris

Posted on Mon Mar 7th, 2016 12:20pm PDT       By X17 Staff


From a boybander to a girlfriend beater!

Kendall Jenner caused quite the stir over the weekend by partying with Chris Brown in Paris for fashion week, and even though pal Hailey Baldwin was there as well, we still think it was a date! After all, the supermodel was rumored to have the biggest crush on the R&B star back in the day. "She's obsessed with Chris," a source previously dished to Us Weekly.

It would make sense if she dated Breezy, because the rest of the Kardashian girls love rappers! It would be a convenient match, too, because her defacto brother-in-law Scott Disick is besties with CB, as is Kylie's man Tyga.

There's only one small problem here... has everyone forgotten what he did to Rihanna?!

 

Taylor Swift And Calvin Harris Celebrate Their One-Year Anniversary Together

Posted on Mon Mar 7th, 2016 11:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's been one whole year since Calvin Harris and Taylor Swift first fell in love!

The lovebirds took to social media to share some anniversary love on Sunday. Calvin posted a too-cute Snapchat of his 26-year-old girlfriend.

The music man showed off a "one year cake," which featured two frosted hearts atop it.

In the vid, Calvin says, "One year. We got one year cake. We got one year cake. It's one year." Along with the video, he wrote "1 year ... that was easy." And it looks like it was.

Other than a brief time where reports said that the two broke up after Calvin went to a massage parlor -- the two seem to have had a very healthy relationship. We love that T-Swizz seems so happy!

In addition, an equally smitten Taylor posted a photo of a locket on her Instagram with the caption, "3.6.15 One year down!"

If she has one year down -- we aren't sure how many more she has to go with Calvin -- but it sounds like she's in it to win it with the Scottish DJ!

 

Kris Jenner Cozies Up To Son-In-Law Kanye West At The Givenchy Show

Posted on Mon Mar 7th, 2016 10:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


If she's pissed about his recent antics, she's certainly not showing it!

Kris Jenner attended the Givenchy fashion show in Paris with son-in-law Kanye West over the weekend, and we're dying to know what these two talk about when Kim's not around! Rumors have been swirling that the momager has been upset with Yeezy over his Twitter rants, believing they are bad for the family brand, but that actually couldn't be farther from the truth!

"Kris doesn’t believe in the concept of bad publicity — especially when all Kanye’s crazy behavior draws sympathy for poor Kim and the rest of the family. She’s always had this attitude that the girls come first and if these guys,” including Scott Disick and her ex, Bruce Jenner (now known as Caitlyn), “can’t keep up then it’s on them," a source dished to Radar.

We wonder how Kendall feels about having her relatives follow her around while she works? The supermodel has been strutting her stuff on the catwalk, but her famous fam keeps stealing the spotlight!

 

Rob Kardashian Says That "ChyRo" Did NOT Break Up

Posted on Mon Mar 7th, 2016 9:32am PDT       By X17 Staff


Don't worry you guys -- Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian did NOT break up. TRUE LOVE STILL EXISTS.

Despite Rob moving out of the former stripper's house and into his own home (aka paid for by mommy), the 28-year-old and his lady love are still going strong.

Rob posted a close-up snap of the duo on his Instagram, but not before he erased all other photos of the attention-seeking twosome from the his social media account.

"Chy and I are not broken up we just feel like it would be a lot healthier for our relationship if we kept a lot more to ourselves," Kardashian wrote.

He added, "It's impossible to have a positive relationship with so much negativity from the media and outsiders and we would appreciate it if everyone respects that -ChyRo."

We love that he posted a photo of them to let the world know that they needed privacy. Hahahaha typical Kardashian!

Hey Rob, maybe don't post so many damn photos and videos of the two of you guys together?! Also what do you expect when you start boning a woman who used to be married to your teenage sister's boyfriend?! We know that you've been in hiding for the past few years -- but the people of the Internet have opinions and are going to let you know what they are if you keep posting lovey-dovey Instagram photos and Snapchat videos around the clock. Fame-seeking is a double-edged sword, m'friend!

Holy royal cuteness!

Prince William and Kate Middleton took Prince George and Princess Charlotte on their first ski vacation, but they managed to keep the getaway completely private until after it was already over! Usually a group of photographers is invited to capture these kind of outings, but the famous family decided to only invite one shutterbug along and keep the location of their destination in the French Alps secret.

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share new photographs of their family. The images show Their Royal Highnesses enjoying a short skiing holiday with their children in the French Alps. This was their first holiday as a family of four and the first time either of the children had played in the snow. It was very special and fun short holiday for the family, and they are grateful that John Stillwell [The PA photographer] was able to capture the moment so well. The Duke and Duchess hope people enjoy the photos," the Palace explained with the released images.

We can't believe how big these heirs to the throne are getting! Little Char even has two teeth coming in!
