Caitlyn Jenner attended the Culture Club performance at the Greek Theater on Friday night, and not only did she work it in a sexy dress and knee boots, but the transgender star received standing ovation when she introduced the band onstage!

The former Olympian strutted across the stage and yelled, "Caitlyn Jenner in the house for her first Culture Club concert! This is going to be a good group. Thank you so much. Enough about me. Thank you for being here. This is so much fun for me." After that, Boy George grabbed the mic and said, "I expected a standing ovation for her and I wasn't disappointed. We need to celebrate the kinds of changes that are happening."

When Cait first revealed her transition, Boy George publicly applauded her, and at the time the singer told Yahoo, "It’s that world I was fighting for in 1984. That was what I wanted. I wanted people not to care about whether you were gay, straight, black, white, transgender, whatever it may be." And he's really putting his money where his mouth is! The previous day Boy George attended Caitlyn's religious naming ceremony in Malibu, and he even sang at the event. Aww!

 

Kim Kardashian Flashes Her Baby Bump While Kanye West Debuts His Latest Art Project

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian made an appearance at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Friday, and not only did Yeezy crack a smile, but we got a peek at Kim K's growing belly! The duo were there to debut the rapper's short film collaboration with Steve McQueen, "All Day / I Feel Like That," which is a nine-minute short film shot in a single take at a historic dockyard near London.

So how did this collab come about? A few years ago West cold-called McQueen, and after a 90-minute phone conversation, the two became friends. And get this -- McQueen even came to Kimye's wedding a few years ago! So what were some of the quotables from Kanye and Steve's chat with the audience and reporters?

“Me and my wife have extreme forms of beauty—her visual beauty, and my sonic beauty,” Kanye gushed, explaining that this is what truly allows them to connect with the world. Oh right, because they're just like the rest of us! Still, the rapper was very blunt when asked about the meaning behind some of his lyrics. "They come from anger management," Kanye said. "When you go to anger management, they ask you a series of questions to see if you are truly angry. And I am. That's why I embrace racism. At least it means you have a f*cking opinion." Um, wow!

So what does Kanye have the say to critics who think he should stick to music? "Remember, there was a time in civilization when people were allowed to do more than one profession," he said. Hey, he's got a point!

 

Oh Mickey, You Used To Be So Fine...

Posted on Sat Jul 25th, 2015 11:33am PDT       By X17 Staff


...but after countless plastic surgery procedures, we're not really sure what's happened to Mickey Rourke's face!

On Friday Mickey hit the gym in Beverly Hills, and while the 62-year-old star's body looks great, his face is fifty shades of f*cked up! And why are his sunglasses on over his hoodie? So weird!

When he's not pumping iron or visiting the plastic surgeon's office, Mickey is still a working actor, and he has a new film coming out later this fall. Rourke plays a WWII Colonel in War Pigs, and he stars opposite longtime pal Dolph Lundgren. Lundgren recently chatted with Yahoo Movies about working with Rourke, who he's known since the 1980s.

Lundren told Yahoo Movies, "I play this guy (Captain) Hans Picault. Rourke's giving me and Luke Goss, who plays this American lieutenant, orders on how to go after this German gun. 'Oh Hans, what was the name of that little French girl you used to bang down in Marseille?' It wasn't in the script. I say [in character, French accent], 'Oooh, I'm sorry, I can't remember.' At the end of the scene, I say, 'I think her name is Marie Louise.' So, that was our first ad lib together. I don't know if they used the word 'bang' back in 1944 but I guess he did." In case you missed it (and let's be honest, you probably did!), here's the trailer for War Pigs:

 

Scott Disick Gets Pissy With Photographers Before Jetting Off To Party In Las Vegas

Posted on Sat Jul 25th, 2015 10:05am PDT       By X17 Staff


Scott Disick was in a mad rush to leave his house on Friday, but rather than stopping by Kourtney's pad to visit with the couple's three kids, he went to Las Vegas to host a party. Before LD headed to the airport and hopped on a jet, X17 photographers caught up with the reality star, and he dropped a number of f-bombs on our guys before speeding off in his silver Rolls Royce.

Scott screamed and threatened to call the police, but our photographers were most definitely NOT on private property. Unless of course Scott thinks the Los Angeles county street in front of his house is private! Talk about a temper tantrum...

Kourtney and Scott met at the Beverly Hills Hotel the previous day, and it seems like he still hasn't seen their three children. But is there any chance Kourt will let him back in? It certainly seems that way! "Scott is not totally out of the picture," a source close to Kourt tells People. "She hasn't made a final decision. Right now, she's just living day to day. She's not begging him to see the kids, but she also hasn't definitively said 'I'm never letting him back again.'" We smell a reconciliation coming -- and you KNOW reality TV cameras will be rolling!

When Scott landed in Sin City he headed to Mirage's 1OAK nightclub, and when asked how he was handling his split from Kourt he told reporters, "You gotta take every day a day at time I guess, right?" When someone on the red carpet asked if he was OK, Scott replied, "Sure." When LD walked into the club he was heard saying, "I'm excited. I haven't been here in a while so I'm excited to be back. I got to have dinner at Stack, which I love so, yeah, I'm excited."

People reports that Scott was on his best behavior in the club, sipping on water and "giving no attention to attractive females sitting at the table near him." Well, maybe he knows he's being watched? Or is he really going to try to patch things back up with Kourtney when he comes home? He actually looked pretty sharp last night:

 

Newly Divorced Blake Shelton And Miranda Lambert Start Tweeting At Each Other

Posted on Sat Jul 25th, 2015 9:25am PDT       By X17 Staff

After announcing their split on Monday and finalizing their divorce just hours later, Blake Shelton and ex-wife Miranda Lambert were awfully friendly on Twitter yesterday! What gives?!

Blake started off by tweeting:
    "Hey @mirandalambert can u believe there's people who haven't bought @ashleymonroe new album? Isn't that shocking?!"

Lambert then broke her Twitter silence and replied:
    "@blakeshelton no I can't because it is the best work she has ever done! I love it! We love you @ashleymonroe."

Ashley Monroe is Lambert's best friend, whose new album, The Blade, was released on Friday via Warner Music Nashville. Lambert gave a surprise performance with Monroe in Nashville, on Wednesday, marking her first public appearance since the divorce announcement. Shelton tweeted at Monroe again and she finally replied, "Awwww THANKS GUYS. 😆 love you both. ❤️." So was this some sort of PR stunt? Nope! When a fan wrote that she was "losing respect because of this whole charade," Shelton fired back, "Well rest assured not one sh*t is given."

But that wasn't all -- the former couple continued to tweet at each other, and it seems like they're either still very friendly -- or getting back together! The exes joked about recent photos of Shelton pushing a baby stroller around the Voice studios and Lambert wrote, "I knew it.... You WERE pregnant! This calls for a drink!" Shelton re-tweeted her message and wrote, "Ha!!!!! Busted... I wasn't JUST a fat ass. Drinking shall now begin..."

Interestingly enough, Shelton's drinking was reportedly a factor in their split, so we're not sure why the former couple is joking about it in front of the world! When the two announced their split they said in a statement, "This is not the future we envisioned. And it is with heavy hearts that we move forward separately. We are real people, with real lives, with real families, friends and colleagues. Therefore, we kindly ask for privacy and compassion concerning this very personal matter." We're curious to see where this goes...

 

The Kardashians Squeeze Themselves Into Sexy Outfits For New Promo Shoot

Posted on Sat Jul 25th, 2015 8:40am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kim and Khloe Kardashian are known for posting sexy selfies (after all, Kim made a BOOK out of hers!), and lately 17-year-old Kylie Jenner has been giving her big sisters a run for their money with her cleavage-baring snapshots.

Kim, Kourtney and Kylie posted for a group snap the other day and Kourt captioned the pic, "Yeah, photo shoot fresh, lookin like wealth." You'd never know that she just split from baby daddy Scott Disick -- she looks like a million bucks! All of the ladies wore an insane amount of makeup, but we were shocked to see that Kim, who is four months preggers, kept it relatively demure in the wardrobe department. Kourt's boobs were totally out on display, and Kylie showed off her own rack in a lace-up Balmain dress.

Khloe opted for a solo selfie on her Instagram page, and we're not sure where Kendall was, but as usual Rob was MIA. Sigh ... will we ever see the sock designer again?

 

Kylie Jenner Looks Scary Without Makeup

Posted on Fri Jul 24th, 2015 12:45pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Eeek!

Kylie Jenner dared to go bare in a recent Snapchat, and without all the makeup and lipstick, she's barely recognizable! We're usually all for the natural look, but her big injected lips look swollen and painful without cosmetics. If she didn't have this pout, she would be way prettier!

The 17-year-old can barely close her mouth because of how far she's gone with lip enhancements, and it looks freakish. When the Botox finally wears off, we would suggest she cool it with her duck face!

If she's insistent on sporting this plump pucker, she should at least get veneers to even out her face!

 

Jake Gyllenhaal Grilled By Howard Stern About Relationship With Ex Taylor Swift

Posted on Fri Jul 24th, 2015 12:25pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Awkward alert!

Jake Gyllenhaal appeared on Howard Stern's Sirius radio show on Wednesday, and the shock jock took the opportunity to discuss the actor's failed romance with Taylor Swift. He transitioned the convo to T-Swizzle when he asked the Hollywood hunk if he had noticed that Good Morning America had played her song "Bad Blood" when he was on the show earlier this week.

First of all, I did not hear that," Jake replied. "When I'm doing an interview when you're up at 5 a.m. and you can't really make sense of words, you're not thinking about the background music that's playing behind you. I'm sure they have so much music on that show playing all the time. It's just one of those things," he explained. We're not buying it!

Then the curly haired radio personality revealed he's "super attracted" to the songstress, and the Nightcrawler star replied: "She's a beautiful girl."

The most cringeworthy moment? When Howie told the heartthrob he should have put a ring on it! "You should have married Taylor Swift. What a power couple!" he quipped.

Listen to hear what else Jake had to say about proposals, being in love, and his fear of commitment. Calvin Harris has got to be fuming!
