David Foster Defends Estranged Wife Yolanda Over Claims She's Faking Her Lyme Disease

Posted on Tue Dec 22nd, 2015 11:05am PDT       By X17 Staff


They might be divorcing, but he still has her back!

David Foster is breaking his silence over the rumors estranged wife Yolanda is faking her Lyme disease, and the legendary record producer sounds like he has the utmost respect and admiration for the Dutch beauty despite their split at the beginning of this month.

"Over the past few weeks, a great deal of inaccurate or baseless information has been reported claiming to represent my thoughts and feelings. It is painful to watch this happen repeatedly – especially while trying to cope with the personal nature of the challenges surrounding the breakup of our loving marriage," he told People in a statement. "I have always had and continue to have the utmost respect and love for Yolanda, which is why it is so frustrating to see headlines questioning her chronic debilitating illness," he added.

He also wants to make sure the public knows he did not pull the plug on their marriage solely because of her deteriorating condition.

"I have been by Yolanda's side over the past four years to the best of my ability as she battled with the complexities of her Lyme diagnosis. I am incredibly proud of Yolanda's determination and mission to find a cure, and how brave and open she has been by sharing her story in the hopes of changing the future for others," he concluded.

We wonder what Yo has to say about his comments?

 

Steve Harvey's Wife Supports Husband After Miss Universe Gaff

Posted on Tue Dec 22nd, 2015 10:00am PDT       By X17 Staff



It was the flub heard around the world!

Many people all over the planet may be mad at Steve Harvey for accidentally announcing the wrong name at the Miss Universe pageant -- but there's one person who isn't -- his wife Marjorie. His wife of eight years is standing by her man!

Marjorie posted a photo of her Instagram which said, "You are a Stand Up Man and A True Class Act the way you went back out on the stage on live TV and took full responsibility alone. I am so proud to be your wife! I love you 😍😘🙏 "

On Sunday, the funny man announced the new Miss Universe was Miss Colombia, who quickly put on her crown, however moments later Steve cut in to announce that he'd made a mistake and that the real winner was Miss Philippines. The clip has gone viral since and the whole thing is causing quite a stir!

Moments later Steve blamed the teleprompter, however we think it was just an honest mistake, that was possibly bound to happen since he ditched rehearsals. A source told Entertainment Tonight that, “Steve went to the beginning of rehearsals, but missed the last hour, at least." The sourced added, "The name of the winner is not in the prompter [because] they don’t want the girls to see it."

We think it's an honest mistake -- but don't blame the cue cards, Steve! Take responsibility -- and then let's move on to more important stuff!

 

Chelsea Clinton Expecting Second Child With Husband Marc Mezvinsky

Break out the cigars! Or maybe don't if grandpa is around...

Chelsea Clinton is expecting her second child with husband Marc Mezvinsky, she announced Monday on Twitter. "Next summer, Charlotte is going to be a big sister! Feeling very blessed & grateful this holiday season," she tweeted along with a photo of her 15-month-daughter.

Shortly after the big news broke, grandparents Bill and Hillary sent their well wishes to the little family. "Your dad and I could not be happier for you, Marc and Charlotte. We’re so excited to meet our second grandchild!” the Democratic hopeful tweeted, while the former President added, "Christmas comes early! Hillary and I are thrilled for Chelsea, Marc and Charlotte’s growing family in 2016!”

Clinton and Mezvinsky married in July 2010.

 

R. Kelly Storms Out Of HuffPo Live After Combative Interview

Posted on Tue Dec 22nd, 2015 8:53am PDT       By X17 Staff


Is it just us or does R. Kelly just not like women?

On Monday, the controversial singer was promoting his new album on HuffPo Live and after a tense and combative interview with host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani, the performer stormed out. Awkward doesn't even cover how uncomfortable this sit down is!

The host attempted to ask Kelly about his provocative and sexually charged lyrics and whether or not he had a healthy view of sex. The "Ignition" singer was upset by the questions and asked Modarressy-Tehrani whether or not she drank, if she knew what a deposition was (clearly he does!), and even questioned her intelligence.

Kelly said, "I did not come here to be interrogated. I didn't come here for a deposition." Kelly then said sarcastically, "Do you know what a deposition is?"

The correspondent tried to continue the interview asking Kelly about his fans who are not buying his new album due to his sexual abuse allegations. FYI: Kelly has been accused of statutory rape in the '90s, as well as earlier this year after it was reported that he hung about Chicago-area middle and high schools looking for "dates." Kelly has settled several lawsuits waged against him, but never admitted guilt. The singer, who was also videotaped urinating on a young girl in the '90s, didn't seem to think those pesky sexual abuse claims were a problem or affected his career, despite his new album The Buffet selling 100K albums less than his 2013 album.

We don't blame Kelly for thinking that the multitude of sexual abuse claim haven't damaged his career since amazingly enough he still has one. The music man is still producing and performing music for RCA, working with other artists as a producer-songwriter, and even performing at the Soul Train Awards in November. Of course Kelly thinks he's untouchable -- except for having to shell out cash to hush some underage girls, it appears as though he's been able to get away with abusing women for decades without many consequences.

Despite his reaction, we are glad that Modarressy-Tehrani was trying to call him out (in a highly intelligent and non combative way), which seems like it needs to happen. Good for her! We hope this interview and people's reactions to it will help shed light on Kelly's behavior.

Leave it up to J.Law to tell it like it is!

Jennifer Lawrence appeared on Watch What Happens Live last night, and admitted that she has kissed Hunger Games co-star Liam Hemsworth off-screen during a round of "Plead The Fifth" with host Andy Cohen.

The Bravo head honcho addressed the rumors that she was spotted snogging with the Aussie hunk at the Waverly Inn in NYC last month, and she basically had no choice but to roll with it. "Liam and I grew up together. Liam's real hot . . . What would you have done? I did [kiss Liam]. At one point," she blurted out.

Some of the Oscar winner's other revelations? She smoked pot before the Oscars and would never hook up with Justin Bieber if the opportunity presented itself!

You have to watch the full clip!

Backdoor's Adopting A Baby!

Posted on Tue Dec 22nd, 2015 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff

Teen mom Farrah Abraham, 24, is expending the family -- she announced she's adopting a child so her 6-year-old daughter Sophia will have a sibling!

"I’m happy to confirm I'm moving forward in my adoption process. This means I will be making some changes in my career to welcome a new addition to my family. Very excited and this feels so right. I'm very blessed for this opportunity," Backdoor told Us Weekly.

The single mom, who's already starred in a top-selling porn film, Backdoor Teen Mom, told OK magazine, it's the right time for her daughter to welcome a brother or sister: "Sophia is in the right frame of mind and is very supportive as well. She is very open and accepting to understanding that someone else had other parents, and we would be their second parent and be a loving family to them."

Sofia's father died in a car accident in 2009, two months before the little girl was born.

 

Caitlyn Jenner Showcases Her Slender Figure While Visiting Kendall At Her Condo

Posted on Mon Dec 21st, 2015 1:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


No holiday pounds for her!

Caitlyn Jenner dropped by daughter Kendall's West Hollywood condo today, and the transgender reality star was looking mighty skinny in jeans and a white tank top. Back when she was Bruce, she had quite the muscular physique, but ever since she transitioned she has become quite willowy.

Cait hasn't been making the best PR moves in recent weeks, so the stress of some bad press might be contributing to her weight loss. First, she was slammed when she refused to sit for an interview with Barbara Walters after being named the TV journalist's Most Fascinating Person of 2015, and then she caught major heat when she prayed with an openly anti-LGBT rights pastor during a visit to the church while filming I Am Cait in Houston.

Maybe all the negative stories are what's motivating her to do another tell-all with Diane Sawyer? The Hollywood Reporter broke the news recently that the 66-year-old will do another special, set to air in April.

At least she has her family to lean on!
