Tom Hanks' Troubled Son Chet Hanks Admits He Went To Rehab For Cocaine Addiction

Posted on Thu Oct 1st, 2015 9:08am PDT       By X17 Staff


Tom Hanks' son Chester "Chet" Hanks is coming clean on his battle with drugs. The 25-year-old posted a series of videos in which he talks about being addicted to cocaine, smoking crack and even dealing drugs.

Taking to his Instagram, the troubled rapper said, "I've been in rehab. I've been trying to get my s**t together and I'm doing pretty damn good."

He added: "A couple months ago I was selling coke [and] doing coke until I couldn't even snort it up my nose anymore because it was so clogged. I even smoked crack." Wow! Hearing the son of America's most beloved film star publicly admitting he smoked crack is pretty jarring.

In addition to this video, Chet posted 10 more confessional videos chronicling his struggles. In another vid, he also explained that some of his behavior was rooted in being in the public eye. "It's been a long journey discovering who I am because all the pressures that I've dealt with in my life -- you know, being the son of my dad and everything."

Chet's big admission comes three months after an incident in which he reportedly smashed up a four-star hotel outside of London.

We think it's great that Chet's sobered up, found a higher power and is trudging the road of happy destiny, but maybe he forgot the "Anonymous" part of Alcoholics Anonymous, which stresses keeping your anonymity at the level of press, radio, film and TV? Instagram counts!

How adorable is this?!

Kim Kardashian appeared on Ellen on Wednesday, and she shared this backstage pic of the talk show host playing My Little Pony with her daughter North West. The toddler looks super into brushing the toy's hair as the funny lady holds it for her, and we can't help but think what a great mom Ellen would be if she and Portia decided to start a family!

It won't be long before little Nori is a big sister. Her reality star mom is due on Christmas Day, so Santa will be delivering presents and a baby brother for the 2-year-old this holiday season!

Our ears!

Honey Boo Boo has been out of the spotlight for nearly a year since Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was cancelled, but she's attempting a comeback by releasing a new rap music video! The former pageant princess shows off her impressive dance moves in "Movin' Up" along with her family Mama June, Sugar Bear, and Pumpkin.

"Started out as a pageant queen / then on TV doing my thing / now movin' up in the world / new fun times with my girls," go some of the lyrics.

The rest of the world must be scratching their heads as to why America finds this entertaining!

Why is Damon naked in this new Vampire Diaries Trailer...?

A video posted by iansomerhalder (@iansomerhalder) on



This may not be Twilight, but it's still pretty hot!

Ian Somerhalder posted a snippet from the new Vampire Diaries teaser on Instagram this week, and in it we see the 36-year-old actor totally in the buff! “Why is Damon naked in this new Vampire Diaries Trailer…?” Somerhalder captioned the post.

But Somerhalder's clothes aren't the only thing missing from the show this season. Nina Dobrev, who has played Elena Gilbert on the show since it premiered in 2009, is also noticeably absent. Elena hasn't been killed off, but rather, she's asleep in a coffin for the next few decades.

Maybe by then she'll have forgiven Ian for shacking up with her former BFF, Nikki Reed?

 

Miranda Kerr Is Easily The Hottest Mom At The Park

Miranda Kerr took her son Flynn to the park on Wednesday, and the duo were also joined by their pooch. The only thing missing was Miranda's boyfriend Evan Spiegel! The 32-year-old Aussie model showed off her hot bod in a crop top and a pair of printed pants, and little Flynn held hands with a lady friend his age. Aww!

If she didn't fly to Paris last night, she'll be en route soon, as she confirmed to Vogue the other day that she'll be walking the runway for the Louis Vuitton show -- and only the Louis Vuitton show.

Kerr and LV designer Nicolas Ghesquiere are besties, and apparently he's the only one she wanted to work with for the latest Paris Fashion Week. “I just feel like not only is he an incredibly talented designer, he’s a really wonderful person and he’s very genuine and very authentic,” Kerr gushed to the fashion glossy. “I have so much respect for him and his work. So I’m always very excited to see what he’s coming out with.”

 

Maybe The Paps Should Get Their Questions Straight Before Busting Matt Damon's Balls?

Posted on Wed Sep 30th, 2015 1:37pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Our photog tried to nail Matt Damon to the wall about his recent gaffs -- but the 44-year-old turned the tables on the paps and made us look like fools. Nice one, Matty!

The actor, who has come under fire and been accused of making homophobic and racist comments, stepped out for a workout with wife Luciana Barroso in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Of course our photographer couldn't resist asking/yelling at the Oscar winner about his controversial comments on race and sexuality in the industry. When asked about all the hubbub, Damon smartly played dumb, and then answered our question with another question, "What do you think I said ... who said that?" Then our man on the street came on with this beauty response: "The Internet!"

Point, Damon.

Meanwhile, the The Martian actor talked about his famous friendship with Ben Affleck and going through trying times together -- namely his relationship with Jennifer Lopez -- in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

"There’s nobody who’s more misunderstood. Ten years ago, the public image of him could not have been farther apart from who he actually is. It was like he was being cast in a role, that he was a talentless kind of meathead, with his whole relationship with Jennifer Lopez."

"He just got cast as this person that he wasn’t. It was just really painful. It was painful to be his friend, because it wasn’t fair, you know? To my mind, nobody really got him at all."

It appears as though the public is getting him now. Despite the media coverage over the destruction of his marriage and cheating scandal, Ben's been a fan and critic darling for years -- cementing his elite status with Gone Girl and Argo.

Looks like 17 years after Good Will Hunting debuted, these two BFFs are still crushing it!

 

Caitlyn Jenner Will Not Be Charged With Vehicular Manslaughter

Posted on Wed Sep 30th, 2015 11:52am PDT       By X17 Staff

We are pretty shocked by this development! The L.A. County D.A. has rejected Caitlyn Jenner's vehicular manslaughter case, and will not charge the reality star with vehicular manslaughter or any other crime from the fatal car crash on PCH that killed Kim Howe.

The D.A. rejected the case because the 65-year-old was not speeding, and although she hit the brakes belatedly, her delayed reaction was not "unreasonable" based on all the facts, reports TMZ

On Feb. 7, Caitlyn (who was then known as Bruce) slammed into a Lexus, which sent the car into an oncoming Hummer.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. investigated the accident for almost 6 months and submitted a 161-page report to the D.A. The case was overseen by the D.A.'s Major Crimes Unit.

Jenner's lawyer, Blair Berk, told TMZ, "We believed from the start that a thorough and objective investigation would clear Caitlyn of any criminal wrongdoing. We are heartened the District Attorney has agreed that even a misdemeanor charge would not be appropriate."

Berk added, "A traffic accident, however devastating and heartbreaking when a life is lost, is not necessarily a criminal matter."

 

Real Housewives of Orange County Villain Brooks Ayers Films Tell-All Interview With Andy Cohen

Posted on Wed Sep 30th, 2015 11:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


Well this should be interesting!

Real Housewives of Orange County villain Brooks Ayers has reportedly filmed a tell-all interview with Bravo's Andy Cohen that will air with the reunion special next month, Radar reports. As cast member Vicki Gunvalson's boyfriend, Ayers has been accused of faking his cancer by all the ladies on the reality show.

Gunvalson and Ayers have split since filming, so she allegedly has no idea what he revealed to the Watch What Happens Live host. She better hope he keeps her secrets! "Andy interviewed Brooks about his cancer diagnosis and all of the questions surrounding it. Vicki was completely blindsided by Brooks’ decision to do the interview with Andy. She has no idea what was said, or if he threw her under the bus!" a source told the website.

For a guy with cancer, he certainly knows how to "whoop it up," as his ex says. He was spotted partying at a club in Florida this past weekend, and seemed be in high spirits according to Us Weekly.

This is an entertaining story, but you know what's more entertaining? The time Vicki paid for Brooks' veneers because he didn't have teeth!
