Posted on Mon Feb 15th, 2016 8:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


Ye is headed straight for the looney bin at this rate!

Kanye West has been tweeting up a storm these past couple days about his massive $53 million debt, and now he's publicly begging Mark Zuckerberg for cash!

"Mark Zuckerberg I know it’s your bday but can you please call me by 2mrw...You love hip hop, you love my art... I am your favorite artist but you watch me barely breathe and still play my album in your house...” he began his Twitter rant.

"World, please tweet, FaceTime, Facebook, instagram, whatever you gotta do to get Mark to support me.. I’m this generation's Disney... I want to bring dope s**t to the world... I don’t have enough resources to create what I really can," he added.

"Mark, I am publicly asking you for help...one of the coolest things you could ever do is to help me in my time of need. I will always respect you for that and the world will love you. I know I can make the world a better place… I have done the impossible... I retook the throne of rap... I beat the fashion game.." he continued.

Then, Yeezy went even further by insinuating that he needs assistance more than kids in Africa!

"Hey Larry Page I’m down for your help too. All you dudes in San Fran play rap music in your homes but never help the real artists. You’d rather open up one school in Africa like you really helped the country...if you want to help... help me..." he concluded.

What are the Kardashians going to do about this? Yeezus is bad for their brand!

Justin Bieber sang his heart out for some lucky fans at 1Oak, on Saturday night. He left his usual streetwear at home and donned a pink jacket and newsboy cap in honor of Lovers' Day.

Actor Jamie Foxx was celebrating his daughter Corinne Foxx's birthday. Later, Foxx jumped on the mic to hype up the already excited crowd and invited Bieber on stage to join him. Waiting in anticipation, fans snapped photos and chanted his name in hopes of convincing the recording artist to perform. Giving into the crowd, Bieber broke out into an exclusive performance of his Grammy-nominated hit "Where Are Ü Now."

After the impromptu performance, Bieber made his way back to the VIP section where he continued his night with friends including G-Eazy. Giving a nod to Valentine’s Day, Bieber got in the spirit and bought roses for all the ladies in the crowd Saturday night. Stunned with excitement, all the girls in the hot spot thanked the A-lister and took to social media to post photos of their roses.

Posted on Mon Feb 15th, 2016 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff

Rhymefest, one of Kanye West’s longtime co-writers/collaborators, has quit working for the rapper.

On Friday Rhymefest took to his Twitter account to confirm that he stopped working for Yeezy last month, noting that Yeezy’s “mind and spirit isn’t right.”

And that's not all -- Rhymefest added, “My brother needs help, in the form of counseling. Spiritual & mental. He should step away from the public & yesmen & heal.”

Before debuting his new fashion collection at New York Fashion Week and dropping his new album, The Life of Pablo, Kanye went on a Twitter rant, defending father-in-law Caitlyn Jenner, slamming Taylor Swift and he also dropped the bomb that he owes millions. "I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt," Yeezy tweeted. "Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart..."

Rhymefest, who is based in Chicago, helped West write songs like “New Slaves” and “Jesus Walks."

 

Record Exec/Beats Billionaire Jimmy Iovine Marries Liberty Ross In Valentine's Day Wedding

Posted on Sun Feb 14th, 2016 10:32pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Former record label exec Jimmy Iovine, 62, and model Liberty Ross, 37, tied the knot in a lavish Valentine's Day wedding at David Geffen's Beverly Hills estate, Sunday afternoon.

Sources say about 300 guests were driven onto the property for the big event in chauffeur-drive SUVs. Guests were asked to dress in red for the holiday nuptials. Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks and Pharrell Williams were among the guests -- Oprah and Pharrell even Instagramed pix ...



Liberty Ross, a model, is the ex-wife of director Rupert Sanders who was famously caught cheating on his lovely wife with Kristen Stewart. The pair photographed kissing and making out in his car during the time they were filming Snow White and the Huntsman. Ross quickly filed for divorce and now, just more than two years later, she's tying the knot with one of the richest men in Hollywood! He's the co-founder of Interscope Records with his pal Geffen, and Dr. Dre's partner in Beats headphones, which the pair sold to Apple for a record $3 billion. Talk about trading up!

Posted on Sun Feb 14th, 2016 9:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry attended her pre-Grammys party in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday evening, and the hot new couple were inseparable!

Katy wore a sexy lacy number while Orly rocked a pastel suit, and the two will be hitting the Grammy red carpet together on Monday night. They've only been dating for about a month, and over the last week they've gone to the Adele concert and attended a party at Robert Downey Jr.'s Malibu pad -- and they haven't made any attempt to hide their romance. So much for taking things slow!

Fergie, Ariana Grande, Ellie Goulding and Matthew Bellamy were among some of the other famous musicians at the soiree.

 

Zayn Malik Dyes His Hair Pink

Posted on Sun Feb 14th, 2016 8:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


Uhhh, Happy Valentine's Day?

Zayn Malik posted the photo above on Twitter on Saturday, showing off his freshly-dyed pink locks. Guess he doesn't want us to confused him with Joe Jonas, who recently bleached his locks, in what seemed like a sad attempt to copy the former One Direction star. As much as we love Zayn's tattoos and eyelashes, we're not loving this hue, so hopefully he switches it back up to a more normal shade.

Zayn's lady love Gigi Hadid has yet to weigh in on her man's new hairstyle, but we're curious to see what she thinks of it!

 

Ronda Rousey Covers Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue In Nothing But Body Paint

Posted on Sun Feb 14th, 2016 8:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


We already knew Ronda Rousey was covering Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in body paint, and here it is!

When SI posted a sneak preview of some of the photos last week, fans noticed Rhonda's trademark wrist tattoos, at which point the mag was forced to 'fess up that the UFC champ was their cover girl:



But Ronda wasn't the only cover girl! Sports Illustrated released three different covers for their 2016 Swimsuit Issue, and Ashley Graham and Hailey Clauson pose for the others.

“The three covers of Hailey, Ronda and Ashley celebrate the new SI Swimsuit,” the magazine’s assistant managing editor, MJ Day, said. “All three women are beautiful, sexy, and strong. Beauty is not cookie cutter. Beauty is not ‘one size fits all.’ Beauty is all around us and that became especially obvious to me while shooting and editing this year’s issue.” Love it!

 

Kanye West Claims He's $53 Million In Debt, Releases New Album Online After SNL Show

Posted on Sun Feb 14th, 2016 7:46am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kanye West let it all out on Twitter this past week, and in one of his many rants, he revealed that he's $53 million in debt. What?!

While defending father-in-law Caitlyn Jenner, slamming Taylor Swift and defending his new clothing collection, Kanye also dropped the bomb that he owes millions. "I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt," Yeezy tweeted. "Please pray we overcome... This is my true heart..."

Last year Kanye admitted he went $16 million in debt while trying to launch his Yeezy clothing collection, telling reporters at the 2015 BET Honors, "I was trying to play a sport that’s a billionaire sport. It’s not a millionaire sport and I’m proud of the debt. I don’t care about somebody’s Ghost (Phantom) or somebody’s house. I care about my vision." Seeing as he purchased a $20 million home with wife Kim Kardashian, we're not sure we believe that, but we'll have to take his word for it for now...

After his latest online rant, Kanye performed on Saturday Night Live last night, and sang two of his new tracks, “Highlights,” and "Ultra Light Beams." Last week Kanye played his new album, The Life of Pablo, at his Yeezy Season 3 collection launch at New York's Madison Square Garden, and it's now available on Tidal and kanyewest.com.
