I nominate Tom cruise and Hailey Bieber

A post shared by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on


Justin finally joined the fray, showing off his roundhouse skills in his version of the #BottleCapChallenge. He took that opportunity to nominate his wife AND his silent nemesis Tom Cruise.

So here goes Hailey's ... looks like she's in the same back yard with the same bottle as Justin and we're assuming this is their house in Canada. She's riding a lawn mower and literally NO ONE in Beverly Hills owns a riding lawn mower so she must be abroad (which means anything outside of the 90210 zip code for people who live in the tony neighborhood) ...


Hailey nominated fellow model pal Kendall Jenner and girlfriend took it to the next level! On a yacht in the Mediterranean, Kenny jumped on a jet ski and, as she passed by the bottle, knocked the cap off with he toe -- a little bit like Hailey, but Hails' was more hillbilly and Kendall's totally VIP BUT she's getting BLASTED in the comments for knocking the bottle cap in the ocean! We're pretty sure the deckhand of the yacht retrieved it ...

Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds took a different angle on the challenge -- he turned it into a commercial for his Aviation Gin. And he put a little spin on his very viral video ...


And the winner is! She doesn't even have to use her hands ... or feet ... just her DIVA super powers!


 

Billie Eilish's Response To The Whole Sexualized Tank Top Photo Thing Is An Instant Classic

Posted on Tue Jul 9th, 2019 9:35am PDT       By X17 Staff


Billie Eilish IS gonna do it her way because ... it's the only way! The alt-pop star took to social media to defend herself against online trolls who criticized, fetishized and made every other sorta comment on a photo of her in a tank top that circulated online (which we can no longer find, by the way). And this is how she did it ... with the above meme and the below Instagram Story video ... of her laughing ... and laughing ... and laughing ...



In the Calvin Klein ad she did, she "spoke her truth" about how her famously baggy clothing liberates her: "That’s why I wear baggy clothes -- nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what’s underneath. Nobody can be like, ‘she’s slim-thick,’ ‘she’s not slim-thick,’ ‘she’s got a flat ass,’ ‘she's got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don't know.” Watch ...



Well, in a random pairing of the day, we know Camila Cabello's a supporter!

 

Ariana Grande Says She's "A Basket Case" After Breaking Down Crying On Stage

If there's one thing Ariana Grande is ... it's honest! (And a million other things like beyond talented and funny and sweet and charming and cute, etc., etc.)

The singer spoke to Vogue magazine recently and, of course, was asked about her incredibly tough time as of late, making it through Mac Miller's death, a broken engagement with Pete Davidson, and of course all of that coming off the Manchester disaster the year before. She tells the mag, "I'm a person who's been through a lot and doesn't know what to say about any of it to myself, let alone the world. I see myself onstage as this perfectly polished, great-at-my-job entertainer, and then in situations like this I'm just this little basket-case puddle of figuring it out."

She said, of being on tour after all of this immense hardship, "... it's hard to sing songs that are about wounds that are so fresh. It's fun, it's pop music, and I'm not trying to make it sound like anything that it's not, but these songs to me really do represent some heavy sh*t."

And that's what caused her to break down during a recent performance of the single "R.E.M." in St. Louis -- watch ...



Before putting her head in her hands she has difficulty making her way through the lyrics, "Before you speak, don’t move / ’Cause I don’t wanna wake up.”

Fans were, of course, concerned, so Ariana released a statement on Twitter but for some reason, ended up deleting it. It read ...

    “I feel everything very intensely and have committed to doing this tour during a time in my life when I’m still processing a lot…so sometimes I cry a lot! I thank you for accepting my humanness. I’m not sure what I did to deserve to meet so many loving souls every night / to feel so much love, but I want you to know that it really does carry me through. I feel it and appreciate it. and all of you [so] much. I want you to know that if you are hurting, you can push through and are not alone. It is hard to balance taking care of the people around you, doing your job, and healing / taking care of yourself at the same time…but I want you to know, you aren’t alone and I think you’re doing great. love you.”

Stay strong, Ariana and if you can't ... Arianators are right there for you!

 

Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Release Their First Single

Posted on Tue Jul 9th, 2019 7:09am PDT       By X17 Staff


How cute is this couple? Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis must have learned this in mommy-and-me class and clearly Mila was paying more attention in class that Ashton because he hardly knows the lyrics to "La Vaca Lola," a rendition of which he posted to Instagram yesterday.

Parents to Dimitri, 2, and Wyatt, 4, the celeb couple don't often post photos or videos of themselves but they recently shared a hilarious video in which they went along with a tabloid headline claiming they were breaking up. Who knew they were such a funny pair?1

 

Kardashian Pal Larsa Pippen Says There Was Evidence Of A Jordyn Woods/Tristan Thompson Hookup Before Cheating Scandal Broke

Posted on Tue Jul 9th, 2019 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


More tea! Kardashian bestie Larsa Pippen is spilling it and it's goooood!

The Basketball Wives star, estranged wife of baller Scottie Pippen, says she could see the cheating scandal between Khloe's baby daddy Tristan Thompson and Kylie's BFF Jordyn Woods brewing ...

Pippen spoke with Hollywood Unlocked and explains but saying, "... there were other situations where [Jordyn and Tristan] were in the same room together and it was like, a weird feeling. And Kourtney was in that room ...I called Kim. She didn’t believe me — she was like, ‘No way. There’s no way,’ ” Pippen said. “Then we called Kourtney and Kourtney was like, ‘Yeah, I believe it."

Whoa!

Woods, 21, denied having sex with Thompson, 28, when she spoke to family friend Jada Pinkett Smith on the actress' Red Table Talk back in February, just after the scandal broke. She claims the two just kissed and that Tristan made the advances and that she was shocked when it happened.

When Unlocked was about to publish the story earlier that month, the site's Jason Lee contacted Larsa to let her know what was about to go down which is why she was the one charged with calling the family the break the news. Not a fun situation! We're curious to see if Larsa's got more info she'll drip drop piecemeal to the press to draaaaawwwww this story out ...

💘I have so much fun with her 💘

A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on


Khloe Kardashian is fighting back after haters called her "materialistic" and out of touch for posting this video of daughter True playing in a toy Bentley. One commenter wrote, "Great, another Kardashian in a Bentley. You guys are so oblivious to how your excessive spending looks to the outside world. I really loved your family’s story and now just can’t bare to watch as you spend all this money on worthless materialism. It’s so sad."

Khloe went on the defensive, responding, "Yes, I do choose to my spoil my daughter. I want to spoil her with love and as well as material items. She will also be raised with values, responsibilities, chores, respect, self love… We all work hard and we are able to spend our money in the way that we choose. I hope that’s what comes across to "the outside world," to lead with love about anything else."

Speaking of love, Khloe talks about loving her body the way it is -- after some hard work! -- on the Season 3 premiere of Revenge Body, featuring a guest appearance by non other than mom Kris! Check it out in case you missed it last night ...
