Ben Affleck Gets Help From His Mom While On Daddy Duty

Posted on Wed Jun 3rd, 2015 12:20pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Batman is in charge of his brood while mom is away!

Ben Affleck is currently watching the kids while Jennifer Garner is away filming, and the actor's mom Christine is helping her son hold down the fort. The duo took son Samuel to lunch in Santa Monica, and it looked like a great time was had by all!

The Gone Girl star and his actress wife have been the subject of divorce rumors lately, but he's still wearing his wedding ring! Reports claim the pair are on the brink of a split, and they plan to announce it this month. "He's told Jen he wants the official statement to come out before their ten year wedding anniversary on June 29," a source dished to Radar. The Bostonian hunk's gambling addiction and alleged cheating is what apparently drove the mother-of-three over the edge.

If Ben is about to be back on the market, then we would put money on J.Lo dumping Casper Smart!

 

Report: Chris Brown Verbally Harasses Flight Attendants On Private Jet, Blows Pot Smoke At Them

Posted on Wed Jun 3rd, 2015 11:50am PDT       By X17 Staff

Can we ship Chris Brown off to another planet? Because after reading this latest story about the 26-year-old R&B singer, we don't even know what to do with him...

While Brown has made numerous statements lately about how he's trying to be a better human, it sounds like he's not practicing what he preaches. According to a source for Us Weekly, the bad boy was “smoking a ton of pot” during a recent trip on a private jet.

But what's worse than the singer breaking the law (the FAA doesn’t allow smoking on planes) was the fact that Chris was a megadouche to the flight attendants! Apparently when one of them tried to inform Brown that he probably shouldn't be smoking, he "blew smoke at a flight attendant and said, ‘I paid $60,000 for this jet, so I own it and everyone inside.'"

It gets worse. According to the source (we're dying to know who it was, BTW), Brown lit up AGAIN before the plane landed and harassed another flight attendant. “He told her, ‘What is your old ass doing here anyway? I like to have the help be people I’d actually like to f*ck,’” the source tells the mag.

Well that's an interesting slice of news! Jessica and Ashlee Simpson's mom Tina is engaged to her gardener (and boyfriend) Jon Goldstein, reports Us Weekly.

No wonder Jessica needed a drink last night?! We're kidding … Goldstein isn't just any old gardener -- he is a high-end landscaper who owns Johnny Appleseed Landscaping, a company that has many A-list clients and has landscaped the Bel-Air Hotel, Stella McCartney stores and the Sunset Plaza.

Tina was previously married to Joe Simpson, who is rumored to be gay, for 34 years. Tina and Jon were first photographed together at Jessica's wedding last summer at the San San Ysidro Ranch, where they stayed together in a cottage.

A friend of the landscaper says, “He’s a really nice guy. … He’s always cared about Tina…He’s known them for 15 years and has been a part of their family. He's so happy she said yes! I know he had been planning on asking her for a while."

Jon's list of celebrity clientele includes Anna Faris, Ashlee Simpson (obvi), Jessica Simpson (super obvi), Babyface, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Jenna Fischer, Mark Wahlberg, Sam Raimi, Tom Cruise, Sheryl Crow and more.

If Tina Simpson is going to marry a gardener -- at least he's a gardener to the stars!

Well that's what we call a destination wedding!

Nicky Hilton is set to wed James Rothschild at Kensington Palace, reports Us Weekly. Not that we'd expect the socialite to get married to the British banking heir at the local banquet hall -- but Kensington Palace?! Now that is one show-stopping wedding venue! Cue older and single Paris Hilton's wailing and gnashing of teeth!

The privileged duo will be saying their vows at the home of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s home on July 10. According to a source, Nicky will marry in the Orangery, which is located within the Kensington Gardens.

The extravagant venue can hold up to 300 people, although the Duke and Duchess won't be among the distinguished guests in attendance. The royal couple are currently residing at Anmer Hall, Queen Elizabeth’s estate in Norfolk, England.

Hilton and Rothschild have been dating since 2011 and engaged since August 2014. The pair met at Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt’s wedding. This will be Hilton's second wedding, she was briefly married to Todd Meister in 2004.


 

Kesha And Her Electric Green Hair Stop Traffic At The Airport

Posted on Wed Jun 3rd, 2015 9:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


We love Kesha and we're fine with most of her wild hair colors, but this neon green hue has GOT to go!

On Tuesday evening the singer arrived at Los Angeles International Airport after spending the last few days in China, and she was kind enough to pose for pictures with fans before hopping in her car. As soon as she got home K Money Instagrammed a pic of herself and wrote, "sometimes bein a fancy ho is fun but sometimes I like bein a grungy kitty." She def nailed the grunge look!

So what's going on with that lawsuit Kesha filed against former producer Dr. Luke? As you may know, in 2014 she filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke for battery, abuse and violation of California business practices. Luke then filed a counter suit, and last week a judge took Luke’s motion to dismiss Kesha’s suit. Judge Barbara Scheper of the Los Angeles Superior Court said she will make a decision after seeing a formal complaint by Kesha’s attorneys, so who knows where this is going...

Oh, and what did Kesha have to say about the Caitlyn Jenner news? She's definitely a big supporter of the former Olympian's transition ... Check out the video below to see her reaction!

 

Jon Stewart Mocks The Media's Obsession Over Caitlyn Jenner's Looks

He makes a good point!

Jon Stewart has always had a knack for highlighting the absurdities of our society, and this time he's calling our attention to how much the media is obsessing over Caitlyn Jenner's appearance.

"Caitlyn, when you were a man, we could talk about your athleticism, your business acumen. But now you're a woman and your looks are really the only thing we care about," he said on the Tuesday episode of his show.

He also highlighted how all we're doing is focusing on her looks, and using other women as the barometer of how attractive she is. "Look, we want to give a woman a compliment here. We just need to make sure another woman gets taken down a peg," he noted.

"Caitlyn Jenner, congratulations. Welcome to being a woman in America," he concluded.

Maybe Justin Bieber really is cleaning up his act?!

The unruly performer took his little brother, Jaxon, out shopping in Los Angeles yesterday -- and it looks like the Bieber boys were having a ball!

The 21-year-old "Boyfriend" singer treated his five-year-old half brother, who was wearing an adorable Spiderman shirt, on a little jaunt to shoe store, Sportie LA on trendy Melrose Avenue.

The adorable twosome caused quite a commotion on the busy Los Angeles street. We guess it's good that JB doesn't go anywhere with out his team of bodyguards!

Justin is clearly still on another stop on his Good Guy 2015 Tour -- and we are into it. Justin held the his little bro's hand as the two looked like the coolest kids in town!

The Canadian singer has also been showing love for his bro, who is dad Jeremy's youngest son, on Instagram. On Monday, the "Never Say Never" posted a too-cute pic of the duo with the caption, "Love you more than anything Jaxon." Yesterday, the Biebs shared a pic of tough stuff Jaxon making a "sign of the beast." Uh oh! Bad boy in training?!

And based on these photos, it looks like Jessica Simpson hit the club HARD!

On Tuesday evening Jessica and hubby Eric Johnson stopped by the Sayers Club in Hollywood to catch brother-in-law Evan Ross' performance, and when it was time to leave, Jessica had a bit of trouble tiptoeing around a puddle and getting into her car. Luckily she had a little bit of assistance from her hubby, and she had a few laughs with her friends once she got inside the car. And those faces? Priceless!
