Giuliana Rancic Leaves E! News, But Stays On Board With Fashion Police

Posted on Thu Jul 9th, 2015 8:25am PDT       By X17 Staff

Giuliana Rancic is stepping down as the anchor of E! News next month, though she will stay on as co-host of Fashion Police and Live from the Red Carpet, the network confirmed in a statement.

Rancic added:
    "For more than a decade, I was fortunate enough to play a role in the success of E! News and will miss my family at the show. At the same time, I am excited to not only continue as host of two major franchises on E! but also executive produce the aspirational new show Rich in Faith for Oxygen as well as take my wine and clothing lines to the next level. This is such a thrilling time for me and I thank the gang at E! for understanding my desire to embark on this next chapter in my life."

Earlier this year Rancic was slammed for making controversial remarks about Zendaya's dreadlocks hair at the Oscars, when she said the singer looked like she smelled "like patchouli or weed." That incident led to a very public feud with Fashion Police co-host Kelly Osbourne, who quit the show shortly afterwards. Kathy Griffin, left as well, and though Rancic apologized, the show was postponed until this September.

Earlier this year Rancic was also attacked by critics for her weight loss, which she attributes to the cancer-suppressing medication she's been taking since her battle with breast cancer in 2011. "It's really hurtful," Rancic told People at the time. "Some people were saying, 'The cancer is probably back,' and they were accusing me of every eating disorder."

Wonder where she'll go next? Or will she focus on spending more time with husband Bill and their kids?

 

Police Investigating Ariana Grande Donut-Licking Incident

Posted on Thu Jul 9th, 2015 7:59am PDT       By X17 Staff

After Ariana Grande was caught on camera licking pastries at Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, California, police are investigating the incident.

Grande, 22, is not being investigated, but cops have teamed up with public health officials to look into why the food was left out and if the shop has a history of leaving food out, according to the Associated Press. Per California health laws, restaurants are required to keep food protected from the public.

"During the investigation, the manager did state they normally don't leave donuts out like was shown in the video," a spokeswoman for the Riverside County Department of Environment said in a statement. "The employee went to the back to retrieve freshly made donuts by request of the customer and left the trays out while getting other trays."

Grande also caused drama when she said, "What the f*ck is that? I hate Americans. I hate America," after seeing a tray of donuts in the shop. So what does she have to say for herself? "I am EXTREMELY proud to be an American and I've always made it clear that I love my country," she said in a statement Wednesday. "What I said in a private moment with my friend, who was buying the donuts, was taken out of context and I am sorry for not using more discretion with my choice of words."

We think she should get in trouble for this though! But maybe the video leaking is punishment enough?

 

Tyga Claims Nude Pic, But Denies Texting It To Transgender Actress Mia Isabella

Posted on Wed Jul 8th, 2015 1:55pm PDT       By X17 Staff


He's admitting it was his junk, but not copping to who he sent it to!

Pictures popped up on the Internet this week of Tyga's manhood, and because his tattoos are fully visible in the image, he was forced to confirm that the XXX snapshots are indeed him, but he is refuting reports that he was sexting them to transgender actress Mia Isabella. Is he pulling a Hank Baskett?!

According to transgender TV personality and blogger B. Scott, the rapper and Miss Isabella have been engaged in a secret sexual relationship for over three years. That means that the hip hop star was cheating on baby mama Blac Chyna and current girlfriend Kylie Jenner throughout both those relationships. A series of screenshoted texts show the "Rack City" crooner flirtatiously exchanging messages with the recipient, and he even throws in some shots of his face to prove it's him on the other end of the phone.

The 25-year-old is vehemently denying he sent them, and is suggesting that someone is out to "maliciously shame" him. His lawyer has told multiple media outlets that he never sent the photos to Mia Isabella. "The devil is working hard today," Tyga wrote on Twitter amid the allegations.

Tyga's legal team enlisted the help of the FBI on Wednesday to nail down the culprit responsible for leaking the images, and Mia Isabella is denying that she had nothing to do with sending any evidence of their affair to the media. Tyga's camp now believes the dick pics were hacked.

We're not so sure we're buying your story, T-Raww!

Scruffy And Scrumptious Ryan Gosling Flexes His Guns

Posted on Wed Jul 8th, 2015 12:45pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Hubba hubba -- hot dad alert!

Ryan Gosling stepped out near his Los Angeles home to run errands on Tuesday, and from the scruff to the guns, we're swooning. While we haven't seen Ryan out with his 9-month-old daughter Esmeralda, we can definitely create a mental image of it -- and it's making us melt even more.

In between diaper duty and spending time with lady love Eva Mendes, Ryan has begun shooting La La Land, which is about a jazz pianist who falls in love with an aspiring actress in Los Angeles. Ryan will be starring opposite Emma Stone, and this is now the third time they've worked together on a film and played one another's onscreen love interests. (As you may remember, the duo were in Crazy, Stupid, Love and Gangster Squad.)

Interestingly enough, we also spotted Stone leaving the studio yesterday, and she seemed to be having a rather odd exchange with a crew member:

 

Demi Lovato Replacing Ariana Grande At MLB All-Star Game Concert

Posted on Wed Jul 8th, 2015 12:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Demi Lovato is replacing Ariana Grande at the MLB All-Star Game concert at Cincinnati’s Great American Ball Park this Saturday night, Billboard confirms. Speculation is running rampant about what caused the "Break Free" songstress to pull out of her performance.

The pint size singer tweeted Monday that she is having her wisdom teeth removed, so we bet that will be her excuse, but we have to wonder if her "I Hate America" rant at a donut shop with her new backup dancer boyfriend Ricky Alvarez might be the real reason? The chart topper is receiving backlash for her anti-American comments, and she probably wants to lay low until the scandal blows over.

In case you missed it, the brunette beauty was caught on camera licking donuts on display when store employees weren't looking, and then when she spotted a giant tray of pastries, she seemingly fat shamed our whole nation! What the f**k is that? I hate Americans. I hate America," she sniped.

Whatever the reason, Demi is way better anyways!

 

Nicole Richie FINALLY Returns To A More Natural Hair Color ... And We Love It!

This is not Nicole Richie's natural hair color, but it is a HUGE improvement over the unbearably bad pink and purple hues she's been rocking over the last few years. In fact, we absolutely LOVE it!

On Tuesday Nicole shot scenes for her VH1 show at the House of Harlow 1960 pop-up shop at the Grove in Los Angeles, and not only did she show off her new dye job, but she snuggled up to hubby Joel Madden too! We love that he's so supportive -- and this definitely helps quash those pesky split rumors!

Nicole is hosting a series of events in conjunction with her pop-up shop opening, and she tweeted a promo image and said, "This week is full of fun events at the @HouseofHarlow1960 pop-up shop at The Grove! I'm bringing my amazing and talented friends listed above. TAG WHO YOURE BRINGING! See you there bb's 😘#HOHxGROVE."

Good to see these two looking so lovey dovey -- we'd hate to see them become the next Ben and Jen!

 

Kylie And Kris Jenner Grab Lunch Before Hitting The Gallows Premiere

Posted on Wed Jul 8th, 2015 11:05am PDT       By X17 Staff


Mother-daughter day!

Kris and Kylie Jenner coordinated their outfits to grab lunch at Craig's in Hollywood yesterday, and the ladies weren't too pleased about getting peppered with questions about Scott Disick's cheating on Kourtney Kardashian. They maintained their cool like pros, though!

Later on in the day, the momager and the teenager walked the red carpet at The Gallows premiere to support Kathie Lee Gifford's daughter Cassidy, who has a role in the horror flick. What's the connection here, you ask? Cassidy is Kris' goddaughter and Kylie's god sister!

Kylie should just be glad we asked about Scott and not about her boyfriend Tyga sending penis pics to a transgender model!

 

Brody Jenner Wants To Play Matchmaker And "Find A Chick" For Dad Caitlyn!

Posted on Wed Jul 8th, 2015 10:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


Brody Jenner was in a chipper mood when he landed at LAX on Tuesday evening, and earlier in the day he stopped by Sway Calloway's "Sway in the Morning" show on SiriusXM channel Shade 45 for an interview. He's still promoting his upcoming E! show Sex With Brody, but naturally all anyone wants to talk about is dad Caitlyn's gender transition.

Brody has been very open how the family is handling the change, but it looks like he's already thought about who his dad might date! So would he play matchmaker?
    "I mean if she needed it, yeah, I mean whatever, of course. That is a tough question. I mean, if Caitlyn really needed it, yeah of course. Caitlyn likes women so it would be, you know, it wouldn't be that hard to find a chick for Caitlyn. You know? Why not?"

Brody noted that he still calls Caitlyn "dad," adding, "You know, honestly, you've gotta have a little humor with it. I mean we joke around about stuff and we have fun with it, and I think that’s the way to make it easy, and even Caitlyn says that. 'I’m still your dad; I’ll always be your dad. It’s just now I’m Caitlyn.'"

While Brody has actually admitted that he gets along BETTER with Cait than he did Bruce, apparently he's not even speaking to stepmom Kris Jenner:
    "Kris and I, honestly we never talk. It’s not that we have a bad relationship, and it’s not that we have a good relationship. We just don’t have a relationship, really,' he said, of the Kardashian matriarch. I will say this, there’s just been a lot of family drama that doesn't even involve me. It involves my parents; it involves the divorce way back when, when that happened. There’s just a lot of moving parts in our family, and it’s a big family, and Kris and I, we just don’t talk. That’s all I’m going to say."

Well, that wasn't actually all. Brody seemingly made sure to cover his ass by saying, "I think Kris is a very smart woman," but then he added, "I think she's an incredible mother to HER children." Um, meow! Check out the audio below to hear it for yourself!
