Raven-Symone Joins The View As A Permanent Host

Posted on Wed Jun 10th, 2015 9:30am PDT       By X17 Staff

After a handful of guest hosting appearances, Raven-Symone has been named a new permanent co-host of The View!

Raven-Symone said in a statement:
    "The Disney Company has made another one of my dreams come true! Being a part of The View family will be a wonderful growing experience for me. The cast and crew are warm and welcoming and has made the transition into daytime talk easier. I have a lot to learn within this new arena, but being the apprentice of these spectacular women will only make me a better person and talk show host."

Raven-Symone got her start on The Cosby Show and the Disney Channel comedy That’s So Raven, and she's been in a number of other shows recently, including black-ish and Fox’s Empire. Last year the 29-year-old starlet made the news when she came out and revealed that she was "an amazing, happy relationship" with her girlfriend.

"Raven-Symone is a welcome addition to The View,” creator/co-EP/former host Barbara Walters said. “She is happy, amusing and well informed, and has already brought a unique perspective to the program that has resonated with our audience.” Co-EP Bill Wolff added, "Raven is smart, funny and genuine. We’ve loved getting to know her, and we’re all thrilled she’ll be part of The View every day. She brings a fresh perspective on the hot topics of the day, and she’s a lively, welcome addition to our conversations and interviews."

Raven-Symone will sit alongside moderator Whoopi Goldberg and co-hosts Nicolle Wallace and Rosie Perez.

 

Courtney Stodden's Mom Krista Keller Plans On Adopting a 42-Year-Old Man

Posted on Wed Jun 10th, 2015 9:26am PDT       By X17 Staff


Courtney Stodden and her "mumager" mom, Krista Keller, are on the outs -- and it appears as though Krista is trying to fill the giant, bombshell-sized hole in her heart left empty by her big-boobed progeny by adopting -- a 42-year-old man. What? Yeah -- a grown dude.

"Courtney and I are estranged," the 55-year-old told Us Weekly. "We're not speaking. It's not good."

The "orphan" in question is John Kerwin, who has a talk show on JLTV (for those of you who are unfamiliar with JLTV -- that's Jewish Life TV) and whose career is also being managed by Krista. Apparently, two two have have quite a special mother-son relationship -- so much so that Krista wants the 42-year-old to be in her family -- like for realsies.

"John's mother passed away four years ago. I feel like he's my son, he feels like I'm his mother," she says. "I can't say 'momager' anymore because of Kris Jenner, so we're going to be using 'mumager.' He's going to be my son!" We should note that the age difference between the two is only 13 years -- so it sounds more like a creepy May/December relationship than a maternal one if you ask us.

The TV host's own mother died four years ago and as a result has "felt so alone" ever since. Hey dude, get a dog -- not a new "mom."

The 55-year-old pumped up the creep factor even more when she said, "I totally love this person, and he loves me as his mother. I'm going to have the son I've never had before. I'm so excited. He's so funny."

We wonder how Court's going to feel about getting a new brother?

The mumager said, "[Courtney] totally really got upset with me about the timing when I stepped [down]... and I feel with this particular situation I am going to be so much more appreciated and so much more loved."

Looks like it's out for her ice-cream blowing daughter -- and in with a 42-year-old son!



 

Kelly Ripa Is The Latest Celeb To Jump On The Pink Hair Bandwagon

Posted on Wed Jun 10th, 2015 9:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


We're not sure if she's simply copying Nicole Richie or if she's trying to find a way to stay relevant, but either way, we're not digging Kelly Ripa's new 'do!

On Tuesday the pint-sized TV host Instagrammed a pic of a horrendous pink dye job, and she wrote, "for the love of P!NK @ryantrygstadhair you are boss!" In addition to Richie, other starlets who have recently rocked pink tresses include Kesha, Kaley Cuoco, Julianne Hough and Iggy Azalea.

"They call me pinkie galore,” Ripa said on today’s Live! with Kelly and Michael, and co-host Michael Strahan pretended not to recognize her at the start of the show. But why did she take the plunge into a pool of hot pink? “Every time I go on vacation I dye my hair a different color,” she said. “It usually washes out and this will wash out. It’s part of my tradition — I like to have fun for a few weeks. I literally sat there with pink hair dye, multiple shades of pink on my hair for hours. I get very bored. I’ve had the same color for six months at least, and that’s a long time for me.”

"I think I might go red next," she added. "When we first put it on it looked really red and I was like, ‘I like it!’ I tried a red wig once and I was drunk with power."

 

Kris Jenner Laughs Off Caitlyn Jenner Questions After A Double Date

Posted on Wed Jun 10th, 2015 8:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kris Jenner and boyfriend Corey Gamble went to dinner at Craig's in West Hollywood on Tuesday night, and the duo were joined by Babyface and his lady love, Nicole Pantenburg. Based on the pictures, it seems like this was the perfect group!

On the way out of the eatery, Kris was peppered with questions about ex Caitlyn Jenner's transition, and when asked if Cait has better legs than her, the reality TV momager simply laughed. While Kris appeared very upset on the special in which Caitlyn (formerly known as Bruce) revealed that she was transitioning, let's keep in mind that Kris and Corey have been dating since last October, which was clearly well before that segment was filmed.

Hmm, were Kris' tears all for the show? Or was she upset because Caitlyn was pretty much stealing the show with her gender bending bombshell?

 

Paris Hilton Can't Keep Her Hands Off Of New Boyfriend Thomas Gross!

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


Paris Hilton has a new man, and not only is he a little bit older and worth millions of dollars, but he has an insanely hot body -- score!

Paris and new boyfriend Thomas Gross were snapped sharing a smooch on a yacht anchored off the coast of Formentera, Spain on Tuesday morning, and it looks like these lovebirds can't get enough of one another! According to a source for the Daily Mail, the two met at the Cannes Film Festival last month and "they are having a lot of fun getting to know each other."

After meeting in France earlier this spring, the two enjoyed a romantic getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where Paris' cousin Brooke Brinson got married. After that they traveled to Ibiza, where Thomas owns a villa, and who knows where they're going next! But you can bet that there will be plenty more PDA...

Gross is based out of Zurich, Switzerland and he's estimated to be worth about $200 million. The 39-year-old businessman sold his UK-based company, The Perform Group, for $100 million in 2013, but he's still a majority owner of the global sports media enterprise.

A source added, "She is thrilled she has found a real man who is such a gentleman. Paris loves the way he treats her and they are having a good time. They really hit it off right away." We can't get enough of this couple!

 

Jill Duggar Tries To Distract From 19 Kids Molestation Scandal With Cute Pics Of Her Baby

Posted on Wed Jun 10th, 2015 7:46am PDT       By X17 Staff


When all else fails -- distract them with a baby!

19 Kids and Counting star Jill Duggar finally decided to share some snaps of her two-month-old son Israel Dillard on Tuesday -- just days after sitting with FOX News' Megyn Kelly about talking about how her older brother Josh molested her and her sisters.

Sorry, Jill, your baby is cute -- but not cute enough to make us forget that you told a reporter that you think your parents are "amazing" parents because instead of locking up your brother (or really addressing his issue), they put locks on your door to prevent him from continuing to molest you and your sisters. We don't think that's "amazing" -- we think that's all sorts of messed up.

But more about the baby pic ...

The new mom broke her social media silence to gush about her baby. In one of the snaps, the mom wrote, "Checkout Israel's newest photos from his 2nd month."

Yeah the kid's a cutie patootie -- but we still just wanna talk about how messed up the Duggars are.

 

MUST-SEE PHOTO - Caitlyn Jenner Thanks Her Plastic Surgeon For A Job Well Done

Posted on Wed Jun 10th, 2015 7:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


She's thankful for the man behind the magic!

Caitlyn Jenner is now the world's most famous transgender woman, and she has nothing but gratitude for Dr. Harrison Lee, the man that made her whole transformation happen. The former Olympian gifted her plastic surgeon with an autographed copy of her iconic Vanity Fair cover, and posed for her first selfie with the doc. "To Harrison, Great Job Thank you so much Caitlyn Jenner," she wrote on the magazine.

Lee, along with Dr. Gary J. Alter, performed the facial and body surgeries that were necessary for Bruce to become Caitlyn, and they couldn't be happier with their work. "She's extremely happy with the results, and we are too," Dr. Alter told The Daily News. "We knew it would be a long procedure and everything was planned ahead of time, and we're very fortunate that everything has gone very well," he added.

As for Dr. Lee, he admits he had a few nerves working on such a famous client, who he knew would be critiqued by the masses. "I entered with some trepidation of course. I figured it was gonna be very challenging because of her celebrity status and the fact that she's going to finally expose herself for (who) she is, and it'll be one of the most judged faces on the planet," he explained.

Caitlyn is adjusting nicely to her new identity, and is keeping busy filming her docuseries. We caught her stopped by the LGBT center in Hollywood yesterday, and then stopping for grub at Jack in the Box. Now that she's a lady, she might want to think twice before eating fast food. Gotta fit into those skinny jeans!

 

Report: Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Expecting A Baby Boy!

Posted on Wed Jun 10th, 2015 6:44am PDT       By X17 Staff

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a baby boy!

"Kanye loves Nori more than anything, but to make his world complete he wanted a little boy, an heir," a source close to the rapper tells Us Weekly. “He's overjoyed!" And Kim? "[She's] always wanted two kids. A girl and a boy." Sounds like their wishes have come true!

Kim confirmed her pregnancy on the midseason finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and she opened up about her struggles to conceive. "Kim was really down about it," a source tells the mag. "And she was worried." Kim added, “I'm so grateful to be pregnant when we didn’t even think it was going to happen. I can barely get out of bed. But it’s so worth it. I don’t really care."

The publication also reports that Kimmy K was shopping for boys' baby clothes with her hubby at Trico Field in New York City on June 1. "Just like Nori," says the West source, "this kid will be well-dressed."

UPDATE:
Kim didn't deny that she's having a boy, but after the Us Weekly report came out, she tweeted:
    "so many rumors...we are not having twins, yes I am carrying my own baby lol & we have not told anyone the sex of our baby yet! nothing is confirmed unless you hear it from me!"
