Rachel Dolezal Says There Is "No Biological Proof" That She's White

Posted on Wed Jun 17th, 2015 6:44am PDT       By X17 Staff


Rachel Dolezal may have stepped down as the president of the Spokane, Washington NAACP chapter after allegedly lying about her race, but she still claims to be African American. Dolezal's latest bombshell? During an interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie on last night's Nightly News segment she proclaimed that there's “no biological proof” as to who her real parents are.

“When someone asks, 'Are you black?’ — which I actually don’t get asked very often until recently, since a few days ago — I say, ‘Yeah, I am black,’” she said. “I know who raised me. I haven’t had a DNA test. There’s been no biological proof that Larry and Ruthanne are my biological parents. I’m not necessarily saying that I can prove they’re not, but I don’t know that I can actually prove they are. I mean the birth certificate was issued a month and a half after I’m born. Certainly there were no medical witnesses to my birth. It was in the woods.”

Ummm, on a scale of 1-10, just how batsh*t crazy is this woman?!

“I definitely am not white,” Dolezal continued. “Nothing about being white describes who I am. So, you know, what’s the word for it? The closest thing that I can come to is if you’re black or white, I’m black. I’m more black than white. On a level of values, lived experience currently. In this moment, that’s the answer. That’s the accurate answer from my truth. But I hope the dialogue continues to push against, ‘What is race? What is ethnicity?’”

When asked about her appearance, Dolezal said, “I don’t know necessarily if my skin color has changed. It depends on the season, right?…Some days I’ll have bronzer or a glow or other days, I don’t.” Dolezal also told Guthrie she’s “experimented” with her hair while living in Mississippi, but that she’s never had any “surgeries or anything like that” to darken her skin.

So what's next? Dolezal said she’s going to “need to do a little regrouping and be able to process the implications now as I move forward.” We're curious to see how many more interviews she agrees to do during this regrouping period...

 

Kim, Khloe And Kourtney Do It Up For A Visit To Dash

Posted on Tue Jun 16th, 2015 5:49pm PDT       By X17 Staff



A pregnant Kim Kardashian -- just barely showing a tiny baby bump, joined sister Khloe and Kourtney at an in-store appearance at their West Hollywood Dash boutique, on Tuesday.

Kim looked amazing in a matching fringed top and mini-skirt, topped off with a denim jacket, while Khloe looked like a goddamn Dash doll, y'all! I mean, a literal DOLL! The big, curly blonde hair, sleek, monochromatic black outfit and bright red Hermes Birkin bag made her look like the best damn Barbie doll we've ever seen!

And let's not forget Kourtney -- sporting a black jumpsuit with sexy cut-outs, the mother-of-three looking pretty amazing after giving birth to son Reign only months ago.

The trio had the E! camera crew in tow, as usual, for the visit. The girls were shooting a scene for an upcoming episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, continuing the storyline about finding new Dash dolls for the store. Hmmm ... do we feel a spin-off coming???

Based on her social media activity, it seems like she's doing quite well -- can't wait to see more pics of their little guy!

 

BFFs Taylor Swift And Selena Gomez Are Leggy Ladies Who Lunch

Posted on Tue Jun 16th, 2015 2:39pm PDT       By X17 Staff


They may have had a falling out in their past, but Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are once again thick as thieves. The two besties did some shopping together and then grabbed a light lunch in Los Angeles today.

Taylor showed off her serious stems in a pair of tiny shorts and a graphic t-shirt with the words, "This Is My Fight Shirt." The stylish star also carried Louis Vuitton x Christian Louboutin bag, which is a favorite accessory for Angelina Jolie. And umm is Tay wearing sexy lederhosen or a sex harness?

Selena highlighted those bodacious curves of hers with some form-fitting white leggings and a cropped '50s-style button-down shirt.

We love these gals, but definitely not our fave looks for either of these ladies!

 

Leonardo DiCaprio Smokes On His Rechargable Vapor Pen At Art Basel

Posted on Tue Jun 16th, 2015 2:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff


The only thing he loves more than supermodels is nicotine!

Leonardo DiCaprio is currently in Switzerland for Art Basel, and the actor can't seem to go anywhere without his Mod vape box! The Wolf of Wall Street star was puffing away on his rechargeable device as he checked out the exhibits, and while we applaud the fact that he's given up traditional cigarettes, we feel an obligation to tell him that it's been proven that vaping is no better for his health!

We guess he's having a better reaction to the Mod box than Nicorette patches! The Hollywood lothario previously admitted that he had an adverse reaction to the smoking cecessation aid when he first tried quitting. “When I take nicotine patches I have blood curdling nightmares of murder. Mass murders. I wake up in the middle of the night and have to take them off. I don’t really remember my dreams that much apart from then. I don’t know what that means about me from a psychological point of view but that’s the truth," he told media outlets in 2010.

At least Leo's honest about his addiction, unlike the hundreds of other celebrities that we could out as secret smokers. Anyways, moving on...

Leo recently donated a John Gerrard installation to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the artist is showing a similar piece at Art Basel, via London's Thomas Dane Gallery. With Leo's name attached, we bet it will fetch a pretty penny. That is, if the actor/humanitarian hasn't already snapped it up!

One thing the bearded hunk has snapped up? His hot new Sports Illustrated swimsuit model girlfriend Kelly Rohrbach!

 

Kate Hudson Goes Nude In Greece

Kate Hudson looks great in the nude -- well in a nude bikini that is!

The Grecian goddess displayed her fit form while sunbathing during a family tip to Greece this week -- and hot damn does she look good!

The newly single star slinked around in a skimpy skin-toned Acacia bikini, which she accessorized with on-trend body jewelry.

The Almost Famous is vacationing with superstar mom Goldie Hawn and sons Bingham, 3, and Ryder, 11, on the Greek isle of Skiathos. The gorgeous brood is off soaking up the sun to celebrate the end of the school year and the start of summer.

Can Kate and Goldie adopt us?

 

Dolph Lundgren Calls Caitlyn Jenner "Hot"

Posted on Tue Jun 16th, 2015 11:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


You've got an admirer, Cait!

When we think of macho man Dolph Lundgren's ideal type, we picture a Playboy model or a body builder. Which is why we were taken aback when we caught up with him at LAX and asked about his opinion on Caitlyn Jenner.

"I used to see him on the Wheaties boxes when I was a kid. He looks hot. I'll put him in my next picture," he told our videographer. We're not sure if he means his next movie or if he's asking to a photoshoot with the former Olympian, but either way we love his response!

Now that Caitlyn has made her big debut, we are just waiting until she starts dating! We know she said it's the last thing on her mind right now, but she's gotten such a positive response from the public, we don't see her staying single forever!

 

Kim Kardashian Pens Letter To Future Self, Hopes She's Still "On Fleek"

Posted on Tue Jun 16th, 2015 10:40am PDT       By X17 Staff


We're curious to see where Kim Kardashian will be in 10 years, and apparently she is too!

Kim's Glamour magazine cover was released earlier this month (you know, the one where she confirmed her pregnancy), and now the publication has released a video of the 34-year-old reality TV starlet penning a letter to her future self. And lucky for us, Kim actually reads the letter to us while she types it out. You know, in case you didn't get enough of her nasal and whiny voice on Keeping Up With The Kardashians...

So what does present-day Kim have to say to future Kim?
    "When you read this, you'll be 10 years older in the year 2025. I hope this is where you are. When it comes to how you feel about your body, remember to be kind to yourself and enjoy how you look now because you're not getting any younger. May you continue to feel blessed and grateful. Since North is now 12, I hope you remember that preteens are going through a lot. I know junior high is really tough, so remember to have a lot of patience!"

Kim then goes on to talk about her sisters, and it's a little bit sweet, but a little bit salty, if you catch our drift.
"I hope Khloe finds her happily ever after and falls madly in love because she really deserves it," she says. "I hope Kourtney is maybe done with having babies. She has a lot on her plate and I know she doesn't want to stop anytime soon. I hope Kendall will continue to be modeling and doing whatever she loves to do. Kylie better just be doing whatever she wants because she's not usually one to take any direction."

But will she still be married to Kanye? And what about Bruce? And Rob, for that matter. So many unanswered questions!

Kim then turns things back to herself and writes, "We both know that there are always so many haters out there and I just hope that you continue to ignore them and focus on everything positive." Kim wraps things up by asking, "Are selfies still a thing? Are the terms bad and on fleek so 2015? If not, am I still on fleek?"

We're sure she will be!
