Taylor Swift Drops Lover Music Video Just Hours Before Album Release

Posted on Fri Aug 23rd, 2019 7:55am PDT       By X17 Staff


Here's the title track off Taylor Swift's new album Lover and we're ... loving it!

Swift told fans during an online chat yesterday that the music video's concept was inspired by lyrics from "You Are in Love" off her 1989 album: "And so it goes / You two are dancing in a snow globe ’round and ’round." And while she doesn't refer to beau Joe Alwyn by name, the words were clearly inspired by their relationship: "I’ve loved you three summers now, honey / But I want them all."

And while we kinda wish Alwyn starred as her love interest in "Lover," TSwiz explained the casting during her YouTube Live session, on Thursday: "The leading man in this video [Swift's backup dancer Christian Owens] is someone I have performed on stage with for years. [He was the] leading man in the ‘King of My Heart’ performance every night on the reputation tour. Every night I could see how expressive he is and just how heroic and what an amazing actor he is as well.” Good choice!

In other Swift news ... she'll open the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards which broadcast live on Monday!

In other OTHER Swift news, Scooter Braun, who recently bought up Swift's ENTIRE six-album music catalog, congratulated the singer on Lover with the below Tweet. Tay was PISSED that Justin Bieber's manager, whom she accused of bullying her for years, bought Big Machine Records for a reported $300 million and along with it, her entire life's worth thus far. She's now signed with Republic Records. But wow!

 

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO - Justin Bieber Uses A Rubik's Cube As Anxiety Relief

Posted on Thu Aug 22nd, 2019 1:06pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Under TWO MINUTES! Justin Bieber's a long-time fan of the Rubik's Cube -- he even solved the puzzle live on Spanish-language TV back in 2009 AND on the James Corden's Carpool Karaoke back in '15.

Dude is genius level! He says he even does Sodoku which is like ... mentally HARD!


Meanwhile, it looks like wife Hailey Baldwin is forcing Biebs to return his beloved Drew House custom motocross bike. The motorcycle was loaded onto a truck, on Wednesday, and taken away. Unless maybe it just needed a tune-up?

And speaking of boys and their toys, Justin hit the DogPound gym yesterday and carried in his change of clothes, including his $1700 Off-White Jordans which he dropped on the street TWICE! Watch out for those suckers, JB! They're an investment!

 

MUST-SEE VIDEO - Angelina Jolie Drops Off Son Maddox At College In South Korea

Posted on Thu Aug 22nd, 2019 11:52am PDT       By X17 Staff


She's just like any other mom -- dropped your oldest off at college is super emotional and it's no different for Angelina Jolie!

Angie took son Maddox Jolie-Pitt, 18, to Yonsei University where he plans to study biochemistry. When asked how long she's staying she says, "I leave today; today is the day I drop him off. I'm trying not to cry." Awwwww!

But watch 'til the end -- there's one thing NOT typical of this mother-son rite of passage which is when Maddox's fellow students ask to take pix of Angelina and poor Mad steps back out of the frame!!! It's actually so sad!

 

We Wanna Know What Orlando Bloom's Whispering In Fiancee Katy Perry's Ear!

Posted on Thu Aug 22nd, 2019 11:13am PDT       By X17 Staff



Wonder what THOSE sweet nothings were! Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom showed some serious PDA on the red carpet of his new Amazon Prime series Carnival Row Wednesday night. Now we're just waiting for the wedding date for these two!

Orlando recently spoke about his sexual connection with Katy, saying, "I would say that sex is a really important part of life because it’s a way to connect, it’s a way to show intimacy. Intimacy is an incredibly important part of life because if you can be intimate with somebody, then you’re blessed, right?"

Interestingly enough, Orlando -- going into MARRIAGE -- says the cards are stacked against it working out between him and Katy! "Being engaged is a lot of work, but we’re building a castle that we can inhabit. For both of us, we feel old enough and wise enough to know that the odds are stacked up against any relationship," he said in a recent interview. Ummm, we bet Katy's not to happy to hear this!

Meanwhile, Bloom's co-star Cara Delevingne talked to reporters at the premiere about Katy's rift with her pal Taylor Swift, saying she's SO glad it's over! "I hate it when people hold grudges — not that either of them have grudges. I just think that it was hard for people to literally conquer geography and meet at the same time, and just sit and chat. That is what people forget, just sitting and chatting will just fix everything. I think, nothing, no grudges, nothing should ever be held onto. So, I’m just glad," she said.

Cara looked FIERCE on the red carpet -- channeling a butterfly in her Iris van Herpen couture gown. Check her out!

 

Miley Cyrus And Kaitlynn Carter Send Hills Star's Ex Brody Jenner Weed For His Birthday

Posted on Thu Aug 22nd, 2019 10:22am PDT       By X17 Staff


We kinda think Miley and Kaitlynn are inviting Brody Jenner into a threesome ... if they haven't done the deed already!

Miss Cyrus and Miss Carter are being plenty flirtatious and overly-friendly with Kait's ex Brody on social media and now Miley's even using him to promote a line of legal marijuana she's invested in! The new couple sent Jenner a weed bouquet for his 36th birthday and he showed it off on his Instagram Story, tagging Lowell Herb Co, the cannabis company Miley has $$$ in.

"WEED like to wish you a Happy Birthday! Love you! Miley + Kaitlynn,” the card read. Body says, "I have never seen one of these in my entire life. Oh my God. That’s the kush too. Happy birthday to me!" Hey, you've gotta give props to Miley for using her split from Liam Hemsworth and subsequent hookup with Kaitlyn -- who was recently split from Brody -- for some pretty good PR!

Meanwhile, further evidence of Miley's fond memories of her trip in Italy where cameras first spotted she and Kaitlynn making out on board a boat on Lake Como, her tattoo artist Dr. Woo posted a snap of the singer's tribute to the vacay. Miley got ink of the Visconti of Milan coat of arms -- a snake eating a person, framed in a baroque pattern. It's not unlike the matching Vegemite tattoo she copied from Liam, but we see how that went ... paging Dr. Tattoff!

 

Bethenny Frankel Quits Real Housewives Of New York!

Posted on Thu Aug 22nd, 2019 8:02am PDT       By X17 Staff


We are going to SERIOUSLY miss her! Bethenny Frankel - the biggest bitch of the Real Housewives of New York who you love, love to hate, hate to love and everything in between is QUITTING the show!

She brings SO much drama and so much intelligence and so much real estate porn to the show, we don't know what they'll do without her, but the casting peeps at Bravo must be on it, because they've got big stilettos to fill!

Andy Cohen must have been in a panic when he learned the news, presumably before Ms. Frankel released this statement yesterday: "I have decided to leave the ‘Housewives’ franchise to explore my next chapter. It’s time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women. With the changes in modern culture, I want to highlight the strength, confidence and unstoppable power that women have. My experience at Bravo has been an incredibly magical ride. I am so grateful to them for highlighting my entrepreneurialism and allowing me to pave the way for many women to achieve their goals. I am excited for my future. The best is yet to come.”

More Bethenny TV! Hey, maybe she'll get her own network -- she should!

In March, Frankel signed a deal with MGM Television and Mark Burnett to develop unscripted projects that she will executive produce and potentially appear on camera. Of course she also has her Skinnygirl brand food and beverage products and her B Strong charity group.

We can't wait to see what she does next because we are THERE for it, with our Skinnygirl margarita in hand!

 

BREAKING NEWS - Liam Hemsworth Files For Divorce From Miley Cyrus

Posted on Wed Aug 21st, 2019 12:07pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Liam Hemsworth has officially filed for divorce from Miley Cyrus 11 days after the couple announced their split. He's repped by famed Hollywood celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser who cited "irreconcilable differences" in her client's filing. The couple had a pre-nup, which will dramatically simplify the separation.

Miley and Liam dated off-and-on for ten years and married last December in an intimate home ceremony at the Cyrus compound in Nashville.

Reports claim Miley was the one to end the relationship just before she was photographed making out with gal pal Kaitlynn Carter -- Brody Jenner's ex -- on a boat in Italy. Various tea reports say Miley's camp leaked that the singer was fed up with Liam's hard-partying ways including over-indulgence in alcohol and drugs, while Liam leaked to the press that Miley had cheated.

What do YOU think the truth is?

MUST-SEE VIDEO - Justin Bieber Pulls Over On The Side Of The Road To Jump Out And Give The Paps Drew House Stickers!

Posted on Wed Aug 21st, 2019 10:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


This is reason #15,289 why we love Justin Bieber!

The pop star literally pulled over in his car, jumped out and started giving out sheets of stickers promoting his clothing label Drew House to the paparazzi. He told us no one has these bad boys yet and our paps were are the first to get their hands on these collectable items! And for free!

Justin is so awesome, he just has an idea like this and goes with it, being so real and so human and treating these photographers like his pals -- his partners. We can't even express how cool we think that is ...



Meanwhile, Hailey was looking awesome for a trip to her stylist's showroom -- which happens at least twice a week! The supermodel wore an oversized white-washed denim jacket that completely covered a neon green mini-dress we could see peeking out from the top. She had on unreleased Adidas velcro Stan Smiths with a matching neon green gum sole. She's always super nice with photographers but at this particular moment, she wasn't havin' it -- she politely asked them to leave ... which we think is very distinguished and classy of her! At least she doesn't yell and scream like some people!

After, the two went for a quick sushi lunch -- Hailey finally showing off her curves in that sexy green dress!
