Gwyneth Paltrow Looks Defiant As She Calls Jessica Alba, Blake Lively Lifestyle Brand Comparisons "Misogynistic"

Posted on Fri Jun 5th, 2015 11:40am PDT       By X17 Staff



Looks like someone needed to blow off some steam!

in a new Time interview, Gwyneth Paltrow hi the sexist way in which the public pits powerful women against each other , and she makes an excellent point that men are never compared and rather allowed their individual successes. After sounding off on the comparisons, the leggy blonde hit the gym in Los Angeles this morning.

Her response was prompted when the interviewer asked if the Goop founder ever checked out fellow actress' Blake Lively, Jessica Alba, and Reese Witherspoon's lifestyle brands. "This is a very interesting question, because I wonder if George Clooney would be asked about Puff Daddy’s ancillary liquor line. I’m fascinated how the media in particular are so confounded by entrepreneurial women doing something outside of their box," she explained.

She's such an easy target to make fun of, but this time we kind of agree with her!

The Oscar winner also pointed out that none of their brands are exactly the same. "Jessica [Alba], especially, who’s a friend of mine—our businesses could not be more different. There’s not a lifestyle piece to her business. The fundamentals of our sites are very different," she stated.

Although Reese's recently launched Draper James is slightly more of the same vibe, there are still aspects that differ. "Our businesses have similarities, but hers has retail. People are grasping at straws to tie us together and I get it, because it makes a good story, but I’m slightly offended by this sort of generalization that happens with myself and Jessica and Reese and Blake. Yes, there are similarities. But there aren’t stories in TIME written saying, 'Wow, look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, who did x, y, and z!'," she noted.

"I feel there’s something slightly misogynistic about it. This is a common theme. I think Reese and Jessica and I—I don’t know Blake Lively, and I don’t know if Jessica and Reese know each other—I’m friends with both of them and I speak to both of them and I want to do everything I can to support their businesses. I’m not articulating it well, because I haven’t completely worked out what it is, but I feel very proud when Jessica was on the cover of Forbes. I think that’s amazing. You can quantitatively say, 'Look what she’s done, she’s been able to conceive of a business and scale it to that size, in that amount of time.' But we have such different businesses," she gushed.

So what does she think is causing this way of thinking, and what is the solution?

    "I think you just put your nose to the grindstone and build your business and scale the best way you know how. You just keep going in hopes the story becomes not people pitting women against each other, which is not founded in truth. There’s no competition. None of us think we’re in each other’s space. I don’t know how you do it! You just get to f—ing work! I think we’re in a funny time for women. We are more and more the breadwinners in families across America or contributing equally; there’s a shift happening sociologically and psychologically. People are wrestling with this new archetype of being a woman with a brain who’s also sexual and trying to do more than one thing at a time. I also feel proud. Why would I not want to do that, if it’s a passion?" she theorized.


Let's hear it for the girls!

 

Louis Tomlinson Jets Back Across The Pond Last Minute For 1D Concert

Posted on Fri Jun 5th, 2015 11:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


Let's hope he's up to performing, because he looks exhausted!

Louis Tomlinson caught a flight out of LAX yesterday on the way to London for his band One Direction's concert in Cardiff on Friday, and jet lag appeared to be catching up with the boybander, who was dressed down in a hoodie and sweats for his journey across the pond. No wonder he was tired! The hunky singer spent just one day in the City of Angels!

There are rumors circulating that 1D plans on taking a break following the promotion of their fifth album next year, but at this point it's still pure speculation. "The band are to go on a break after promoting the fifth album next year, possibly with a number of live tour dates around the world. At some point they have to take time off to step back and consider what they want to do next. What's almost certain is there will be no 1D music next year," a source told The Sun.

Reports claim Harry Styles is keen to embark on a solo career, while Louis would like to be an X-Factor judge. Could it be that Zayn Malik's departure really is cracking the world's favorite pop group? We guess we'll have to wait and see!

 

George Clooney Cause A Stir When He Takes Amal Clooney Home To Kentucky For Family Reunion

Posted on Fri Jun 5th, 2015 9:56am PDT       By X17 Staff


If Augusta, Kentucky was holding on for a hometown hero -- it certainly got one!

Superstar George Clooney brought his British bride Amal Clooney back home to Augusta, Kentucky, (a town of 1,000) for his annual family reunion. And it certainly threw the tiny town into quite a tizzy!

George visits from home from time to time, so his presence isn't a shock but the townsfolk seemed to go crazy for his blushing bride. The A-list couple stopped by local restaurant Caprioni's, attended a private party at the Augusta Pub with the actor's journalist father Nick. The cute couple also stopped by one of Georgeyboy's favorite places, Magge's Bakery in Marysville, to pick up some pies.

The 54-year-old went to high school in the sleepy Kentucky town so he showed his lady love his former teenaged stomping grounds, including the basketball courts he used to play on.

Locals couldn't stop taking pics with the couple and posting the starry snaps on social media. It looks like everyone back home loves the Cloones!

George may be a box-office dud, but he's certainly a hometown stud in Augusta!

Justin Bieber Pleads Guilty To Assault, Careless Driving In Canada

Posted on Fri Jun 5th, 2015 9:00am PDT       By X17 Staff

The Biebs is fessing up!

Justin Bieber has pleaded guilty to assault and careless driving related to an incident with a paparazzo during a visit to hometown of Ontario in August of last year with then girlfriend Selena Gomez.

The "Boyfriend" crooner appeared in court via Skype on Thursday to face the charges, his lawyer Brian Greenspan confirmed to reporters. JB got off pretty easy, though! The assault charge was dismissed, and he ended up getting smacked with just a minimal fine of $750 for the reckless driving.

The altercation happened when the pop star's ATV collided with the photographer's minivan, which resulted in a fight. Greenspan explained that they're pleased with the fact a judge "recognized the fact that it was an incident that was somewhat provoked and that it lasted less than a minute."

"The assault was described even by the photographer as a couple of slaps -- certainly three at the most -- that he deflected with his shoulder," he added.

Sounds like he got off easy!

 

Sarah Palin Calls Lena Dunham A "Pedophile" Amid Josh Duggar Molestation Scandal

Posted on Fri Jun 5th, 2015 8:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


Can Sarah Palin just go to the Alaskan tundra and stay put?

Amid the Josh Duggar molestation scandal, the sorry excuse for a politico (and her equally deluded daughter) just went on a rant about Lena Dunham due to a contra excerpt from her book Not That Kind of Girl, in which the Girls creator talks about touching her younger sister, Grace, when the actress was seven years old.

"HEY LENA, WHY NOT LAUGH OFF EVERYONE'S SEXUAL 'EXPERIMENTS' AS YOU HAUGHTILY ENJOY REWARDS FOR YOUR OWN PERVERSION? YOU PEDOPHILE, YOU," the 51 wrote via Facebook on Thursday.

Earlier in the week, it was revealed that two of Josh Duggar's five victims were his sisters Jill and Jessa. The former VP candidate seems to be outraged by the fact that Dunham wasn't skewered by the media (which she was) for recounting an experience from her childhood and that the Duggar is a media pariah. The two situations seems very different to us -- but we probably don't see eye to eye with Palin on a lot of things.

The always controversial Palin continued, "I’m not defending the Duggar boy's obvious wrongdoing over a decade ago. The main victim in any story like this isn't the perpetrator, it's the innocent ones so harmfully affected," she continued. "I’m not an apologist for any sexual predator, but I’m sickened that the media gives their chosen ones a pass for any behavior as long as they share their leftwing politics." 

Oh and she kept going: "Case in point, they suggest Lena Dunham's sexual assault on her sibling is cute, and she's rewarded for it with fame and fortune. Meanwhile, they crucify another, along with an entire family."

Hey Sarah, what does Lena Dunham's past have to do what a teenaged Josh Duggar did to his sisters? Not a lot, if you ask us.

 

Selena Gomez Sips On A Green Smoothie While Rocking Sexy Grey Jumpsuit

Posted on Fri Jun 5th, 2015 7:05am PDT       By X17 Staff


Is this her secret to staying slim?

Selena Gomez grabbed a green smoothie in Woodland Hills yesterday, and the "Come & Get It" singer looked adorable in a grey Free People jumpsuit with matching booties and a strong red lip. Although she received a lot of body shaming back in April for her fuller figure, it appears she has already shed most of that weight. You go girl!

After she was spotted hanging out at a Bible study with ex Justin Bieber, rumors ran wild that the pair were getting back together. The Spring Breakers star has ominously tweeted about "lies" and "truths" so we have a feeling something is brewing!

"Sometimes I get frustrated when I hear lies about who I am. The Internet is meant to keep you "updated" but it just takes old news and freezes it like it's now. You have watched me in pain and I've owned up to it through my music and actions. I grew up with you," she wrote on Instagram recently.

"I am beyond excited to show you the next chapter, the TRUTH. I've been keeping so many secrets... I'm reborn in every moment so who knows what I'll become.. As long as I'm happy with me. #strongisbeautiful #healthyperspectiveonthemfools," she added.

We guess we will wait for her big reveal!

 

Kendall Jenner And Hailey Baldwin Go On A Sushi Run

Posted on Thu Jun 4th, 2015 3:02pm PDT       By X17 Staff


She couldn't get her sushi fast enough!

Now we know how Kendall Jenner gets that perfect tush of hers -- she runs to her meals! Decked out in workout gear, the model was in hot pursuit of a Sugarfish sushi situation when she scurried into the trendy Los Angeles sushi spot.

Kendall is a busy bee! This morning, the 19-year-old was geared up for the red carpet, outfitted in Topshop culottes and a Sass & Bide shell, for the Kendall + Kylie for Topshop launch at the Grove. But in a blink of an eye, the reality star was in her off-duty wear, wearing no make up and grabbing some sushi with friend Hailey Baldwin. When you are a Kardashian -- your life is all about go, go, go!

Hailey also accompanied Kendall to her big launch event earlier in the day. It looks like the gals are making a day of it together! These two ladies are attached at the hip!

After the quick bite, Kendall Jenner stopped by health food store Erewhon in West Hollywood for some healthy snacks. Gotta bulk up on nature's best to keep that tight tush of hers! We tried to ask about her dad (can we still say "dad" even though we use the feminine pronoun now for Caitlyn?), but she didn't exactly feel like commenting ...

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Rob Kardashian Isn't In Rehab, Spotted Driving Around Calabasas Neighborhood

Posted on Thu Jun 4th, 2015 12:55pm PDT       By X17 Staff


We can't believe he's managed to stay hidden for so many months!

Rob Kardashian had reportedly checked into rehab in Florida this month, but that's definitely not the case, as we caught the reclusive reality star driving around his Calabasas neighborhood in a white Range Rover yesterday. Although it was tough to get a good look at him, it appears he is still quite hefty and has grown a mustache.

The last time we saw the former DWTS pro was way back in March! Multiple media outlets were reporting that Kimmy K's brother had finally decided to seek help at an undisclosed facility, but momager Kris Jenner dismissed the chatter as pure nonsense. "Completely fabricated," the family matriarch told ET.

He has struggled with massive weight gain, depression, and alleged substance abuse for some time, so we would advise him to stop chilling at his sisters house and get his life back on track!
