Yuck!

Khloe Kardashian has been forced to cancel two public appearances on her Strong Looks Better Naked book tour because she has contracted a nasty staph infection while tending to Lamar Odom at the hospital, TMZ reports. Earlier today, she chalked it up to an unidentified illness, but we now know the cause. The New York Times bestselling author was scheduled to be in Houston on Friday.

"Dolls! So sorry I needed 2 re schedule my book signing. I'm sick & dr's orders are that I need to lay low until we narrow down what's wrong. I'll be going for more testing today. I'm very sorry again. Stress can run our bodies down so please everyone take care of yourselves," she wrote on Twitter earlier before learning of her diagnosis.

Her symptoms include a painful boil on her leg, a high fever, swollen glands, and uncontrollable sweating.

The reality star has had a tense month and a half, which began when estranged husband Lamar Odom overdosed at a Nevada brothel on October 13. Since then, the E! starlet has been by his side as he attempts to recover, all while trying to maintain her relationship with boyfriend James Harden and promote her latest project.

"It is very weird to be selling something or telling everybody 'go buy my book' when there's very serious things happening in my life. Real life happens and nothing is going to stop. Your work can't just stop. So we have to learn to juggle it all and still make time for yourself," she recently told the AP.

The things you do - and get! - for love.

 

Zayn Malik Slams One Direction: "That's Not The Music That I Would Listen To"

Posted on Wed Nov 18th, 2015 2:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Ungrateful little brat!

Zayn Malik didn't hold back at taking a swipe at his former band One Direction in a new interview with Fader magazine, and you'd think he would be slightly more kind to the guys that helped him become famous and make millions!

"That’s not music that I would listen to. "Would you listen to One Direction at a party with your girl? I wouldn’t. To me, that’s not an insult, that’s me as a 22-year-old man. As much as I was in that band, and I loved everything that we did, that’s not music that I would listen to," he sniped.

The British boy bander then went on to explain how he left the mega group because he wanted to make music that was more in tune with his personal vibe.

"A big part of why I left the band is I made the realization that it wasn’t actually about [being the biggest] anymore. It wasn’t about the amount of ticket sales that I get. It was more about the people that I reach. I want to reach them in the right way, and I want them to believe what I’m saying," he revealed.

Malik blames the band's management for stifling his vision and leaving him no choice but to walk away. "I’m actually quite easy, a happy-go-lucky sort of guy, but there was a lot of situations that were almost created to make me be portrayed as the mysterious or quiet one… It’s a product that’s already designed, and it sells. There was never any room for me to experiment creatively. If I would sing a hook or a verse slightly R&B, or slightly myself, it would always be recorded 50 times until there was a straight version that was pop, generic as f—k, so they could use that version. Whenever I would suggest something, it was like it didn’t fit us," he complained.

This little snot better hope his solo album doesn't tank, or else he's gonna look like a real idiot!

Josh Duggar really made a mess of things. The troubled reality star has another sex scandal on his hands. The 27-year-old is being sued by porn star Danica Dillon who is claiming that during consensual sex Duggar, "assaulted her to the point of causing her physical and emotional injuries," reports People.

The mag obtained court documents which allege that the the father of four propositioned her in a Philadelphia strip club in March.

Apparently Dillon, who is married and has two children, is asking for $500,000 in damages. She claims that she suffered emotionally and physically since the rough sexual encounter and has been seeing a psychiatrist for severe anxiety.

In the documents, Dillon says she was stripping at The Gold Club in Philadelphia and Duggar paid her about $600 for lap dances. Later she claims he invited her to his hotel room to have sex for an agreed upon $1500 "for her company." She claims he "manhandled" her and she "felt as if she were being raped."

Duggar is currently in a faith-based rehab center called Reformers Unanimous in Rockford, Illinois. Following an Internet scandal in which he was outed for cheating on his wife through the website Ashley Madison, Duggar checked himself into the rehab in August.

At the time he said, "I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him."

She's ready to pop out her little turkey!

Kim Kardashian was originally due to give birth to her baby boy around Christmas, but now the reality star is moving up her due date and will deliver him closer to Thanksgiving, Us Weekly reports. What's the rush, you ask? While we would assume she's just tired of being preggo, it's actually because of concerns for and her unborn child's health.

“Kim’s doctors want to get the baby out early because of her medical history," a source dished to the mag. The E! starlet struggled with high blood pressure during her pregnancy with daughter North West, and this time around she has excess fluid in her placenta that can lead to gestational diabetes.

If the littlest West is going to be here soon, they better pick a moniker for him! "It’s like the last thing that Kanye and I did when [2-year-old daughter] North was born. We didn’t name her for like seven days. I feel like it will just come to us," the 35-year-old told People.

Having a bun in the oven is no cakewalk for Kimmy K!
