Report Slams One Direction Breakup Rumors: "Nothing Has Changed"

Posted on Thu Jan 14th, 2016 2:04pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Dry your tears, One Direction may not be breaking up after all! THANK GOD!

Reports have been circulating that the boy band's hiatus has turned into a permanent break, but Billboard is alleging that the rumors are not true. A source told the publication that, "nothing has changed regarding hiatus plans for the group, and all will be revealed in due time from the band members' own mouths."

We just couldn't take it if their 18-month hiatus was a forever split!

In other 1D news, a new single from the band's Made in the A.M.  album is expected.

 

Celine Dion's Husband Rene Angelil Dies At 73

Posted on Thu Jan 14th, 2016 2:02pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Sad news ... Celine Dion's husband Rene Angelil died on Thursday. He was 73 years old.

The French Canadian music manager, who managed Dion's career when she was 12, died at the couple's home in Las Vegas, a rep told People.

In 1999, Angelil was diagnosed with throat cancer and eventually had surgery that removed part of his tongue in December 2013. In August 2014, the singer announced that she was postponing her career “indefinitely” to care for the man whom she's been married to since December 1994. Angelil, who was Dion's manager for 30 years, stepped down in June 2014.

At the time, Dion said, “I want to devote every ounce of my strength and energy to my husband’s healing, and to do so, it’s important for me to dedicate this time to him and to our children."

In August 2015, the singer returned to residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Before her first show back, "My Heart Will Go" singer told USA Today, “I didn’t want to be here at first, I don’t need it, Don’t get me wrong, I love singing for people, but I have priorities." She continued, "Rene really gave me a gift. All my grieving, it was during this last year. I think I've got this. For now. When it hits me, it’s going to hit me. But my biggest job is to tell my husband, we’re fine. I’ll take care of our kids. You’ll watch us from another spot.”

The couple have three sons, Rene-Charles, 15, and 5-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson.

 

Kim Kardashian Says She's The Business Mastermind Of The Fam, Not Her Mom Kris

Posted on Thu Jan 14th, 2016 1:40pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Leave it up to Kimmy K to take all the credit!

Kim Kardashian is known for her keen business sense, and she just revealed that, contrary to popular belief, it is her and not her mother Kris Jenner who makes the majority of business decisions for the Kardashian family. During a photoshoot and interview for Editorialist, the reality star also discussed her decision to create her own content for her app, and we have to hand it to her for having such a strong work ethic.

"I'll hear stories like, 'Kris Jenner is the puppet master, having all of her kids do this and that,' and I'm like, 'If they only knew!' I'm the one that will be like, 'Kylie, do this. Kendall, you should do this,'" she explained to the mag.

It sounds like Yeezy's wifey was the one who convinced the rest of her sisters to launch their respective apps!

"I definitely see the shift from magazine to digital, and that's exactly what I envision. I did want my own avenue to tell my story, to show my fashion pics, to offer my beauty tips, my secrets. I was doing so many interviews with so many different magazines, and I would find that it wouldn't be written right or maybe the product was off or I didn't feel it was truly representing me," she added.

And all this time we thought her momager was calling the shots!

Taking a break from banging Hailey Baldwin, Justin Bieber is banging on the ivories at the Montage. And he's good!

Kourtney Kardashian Gets Back To Parenting After Filming A Pointless KitKat Eating Tutorial

Posted on Thu Jan 14th, 2016 12:45pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Seriously, she should just stick to being a mom!

Kourtney Kardashian brought son Reign to a play date in Beverly Hills today, and the reality star seemed completely content having some downtime with her baby boy. Or perhaps she was just embarrassed that while other celebrities are making PSA's to help starving children or abused dogs, she is releasing video tutorials on how to eat candy bars!

In case you missed it, the mother-of-three made brains everywhere hurt yesterday with a video she posted to her app, which was all about the slowest possible way to devour a KitKat. The genius who came up with the trick? None other than sister Kimmy K!

Seriously, we know Bieber has moved on with Hailey Baldwin so she's probably pretty bored lately, but Kourt really needs to find better ways to spend her time!

 

Rihanna And Drake Team Up In L.A. To Shoot Riri's New "Work" Music Video

Posted on Thu Jan 14th, 2016 11:02am PDT       By X17 Staff


Are Rihanna and Drake reuniting?! It looks like it! The pair, who have been hooking up on and off since 2009, are back in Los Angeles working together while filming Rihanna's new music video "Work" in Los Angeles -- but we wonder if there's more going on?!

The two have been hanging out again as they collaborate on Riri's new album "ANTI," according to the Daily Star.

The "Hotling Bling" performer is supposedly helping her complete her her highly-anticipated album, which was due out last February, and apparently Drake is on three songs. Despite Rihanna's romance with rumored boyfriend Travis Scott, it's possible that things are heating up again with the former two some as they film the vid.

An alleged casting call surfaced online last week, which called for horseback riders and policemen -- and the set photos seem to confirm that. DJ Khaled also posted a Snapchat with Drake, in which he says, "I'm up to something. Major Key. Cloth alert."

We have a feeling Khaled is producing the new music video in which the pair apparently ride horseback through a shopping mall video -- on top of Louis Vuitton horses -- because of course!

We wonder what Travis Scott thinks of this collab?!

According to the newspaper, Drake's pals are worried about a reunion as he's been given the runaround by RiRi before.

Well isn't this adorable!

The happy couple welcomed him to their table, and even posed for a funny Instagram photo. "Awesome dinner with mom and dad," the kid captioned the snapshot.

Things seem to be getting more serious by the day between these two. Over the holidays, the Scottish DJ joined T-Swizzle's family vacation in Colorado, and they rang in New Years together in Las Vegas. Maybe Tay Tay has finally found a guy that she trust and write happy songs about for once?
