Transgender Orange Is The New Black Actress Laverne Cox Poses Nude For Allure

Posted on Thu Apr 16th, 2015 9:11am PDT       By X17 Staff


You go, girl!

Trail-blazing Orange Is the New Black star Laverne Cox took it all off in a spread for Allure magazine's "Nude Issue."

The transgender actress said that at first she said no to the mag but ultimately decided she would take it all off in hopes it would help the trans community.

“I said no initially, thought about it, and said no again. But I’m a black transgender woman. I felt this could be really powerful for the communities that I represent. Black women are not often told that we’re beautiful unless we align with certain standards," the 30-year-old said.

Cox is hoping her choice to go naked will help inspire others "Trans women certainly are not told we’re beautiful. Seeing a black transgender woman embracing and loving everything about her body might be inspiring for some folks. There’s a beauty in the things we think are imperfect. It sounds very cliché, but its true," she added.

We think she looks great and can't wait to see her on the small screen when Orange Is The New Black's third season premieres on June 12.

 

Tom Brady Pens Gushing Love Letter For Wife Gisele After Her Retirement

Posted on Thu Apr 16th, 2015 8:44am PDT       By X17 Staff

How sweet!

Tom Brady posted a loving message to his wife Gisele Bundchen on his Facebook page after she walked her final runway at Colcci's show at Sao Paulo Fashion Week on Thursday, and it sounds like he's still smitten with his model love after all these years.

"Congratulations Love of my Life. You inspire me every day to be a better person. I am so proud of you and everything you have accomplished on the runway. I have never met someone with more of a will to succeed and determination to overcome any obstacle in the way. You never cease to amaze me. Nobody loves life more then you and your beauty runs much deeper then what the eye can see. I can't wait to see what's next. I love you. ?#‎GOAT? ?#‎thebestisyettocome?," he wrote.

The Brazilian stunner announced earlier this week that she would be retiring from the catwalk, and gave her best explanation as to why she would walk away when he career is still red hot. "Automatically my body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop. I respect my body, it's a privilege to be able to stop. Stopping will leave room for other projects I have for myself," she told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo.

She will be missed!

 

Shia LaBeouf Is Still Rocking His Rat Tail

Posted on Thu Apr 16th, 2015 8:03am PDT       By X17 Staff


He may look like Lisbeth Salander's long-lost redneck brother with this latest 'do, but we still love him...

Shia LeBeouf debuted his rat tail several weeks ago, but this week he shaved even more hair off the sides of his head to complete this bizarre cut. The 28-year-old actor hit the gym in Los Angeles on Wednesday with a giant jug of water, and if you divert your eyes from the funky hair and eyebrow piercing, you have to admit that he does have a pretty impressive set of guns.

Still no word on why Shia is sporting this particular hairstyle, but he is set to start shooting American Honey soon, so perhaps he's prepping for that character? According to a plot synopsis on IMDb, the flick is about "a teenage girl with nothing to lose [who] joins a traveling magazine sales crew and gets caught up in a whirlwind of hard partying, law bending and young love as she criss-crosses the Midwest with a band of misfits." Shia definitely looks like a hunky Midwestern misfit, so we're curious to see if that's for this role!

 

Newly Engaged Nicki Minaj Flaunts Her Massive 15-Carat Diamond Ring

Posted on Thu Apr 16th, 2015 7:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Nicki Minaj posted a pic of some serious bling on Instagram last night (her caption simply read: 💛💎💍😍😍😍😍😍🙌🙈 💛), and the 32-year-old entertainer is reportedly engaged to rapper Meek Mill, who she's been dating for about 3 months.

"Both Meek and Nicki have been spending amazing quality time together lately and have gotten extremely close these past few months," an insider tells E! Online, confirming the engagement news. "It may seem like it all is happening very quickly but Nicki and Meek are in this 100. They truly love each other." The site adds that the ring is about 15 carats and estimated the cost to be a cool $500,000.

On Tuesday Minaj posted a photo of the duo in Miami, and when fans noticed that the "Super Bass" singer was rocking a diamond ring, she responded and commented, "I'll post it later." While Minaj's new tune (which features Meek Mill) is titled “Buy A Heart," we can't imagine she'd punk us just in an attempt to drum up some publicity. Hmm, or would she?

Last year Minaj split from her boyfriend of 11 years Safaree Samuels, and at the time there were reports that she chased him out of her home with a baseball bat following an argument. A few months later Safaree chatted with The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 and said, "Everyone around her works for her, you know? And it got to the point where I was being treated like an employee, instead of like her man." Nicki may be a babe, but it sounds like Meek is in for a wild ride!

 

Oh Look! It's Our Favorite Surgically Enhanced Train Wrecks!

Posted on Thu Apr 16th, 2015 6:55am PDT       By X17 Staff


Seeing as Farrah Abraham is a teen mom turned anal porn queen and Courtney Stodden is a former teenage bride, we think we're allowed to give both of them a hard time! And the amount of silicone pictured above is kinda blowing our minds...

The young and plastic starlets attended the Star Magazine party at The Argyle in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening, and even though we don't have a whole lotta respect for them, we were surprised to see how demurely they dressed at the bash.

While Courtney and hubby Doug Hutchison kept it boring and posed for photos on the red carpet, Farrah recently revealed that she wants to become a doctor. Yes, really. Farrah announced that she will be shadowing Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Sergio Alvarez this summer, and she told Gossip Cop, “From seeing the best and the worst in the industry and experiencing it as well, it has me wanting to pursue and achieve the best in education to help men and women from trauma scenarios to reconstructive and aesthetic surgeries ... I hope to inspire and help others fulfill their best selves as I do my best to become the top doctor in the nation in my future.”

I mean, her face looks presentable now, but her botched lip job earlier this year was pretty gruesome!

 

Kendall Jenner Poses Topless For GQ Magazine

Kenny is looking fab!

Kendall Jenner graces the cover of the newest issue of GQ magazine, and flaunts her unbelievable bod by going topless. At least the model of the moment was modest enough to cover her boobs with her hands!

The 19-year-old's sister Kimmy K must be fuming that she was only offered to pose for the British version of the men's mag, while her younger prettier sister landed the American cover. It's kind of crazy how quickly the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star's cat walking career took off! She's been featured in Vogue, Allure, Elle and a million other glossies, as well as walking the runway for Chanel, Balmain, and all the hippest designers.

Kris Jenner has a new cash cow!

 

Report: Nicole Richie And Joel Madden "On The Brink Of Divorce"

Posted on Wed Apr 15th, 2015 12:27pm PDT       By X17 Staff

This doesn't surprise us!

Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden are "on the brink of divorce," In Touch reports. The couple have been together eight years, but in recent months they have been fighting non-stop and it's only getting worse.

"Nicole and Joel are at odds over everything," a source dished to the mag. "They’ve been spending more time apart because all they do is fight when they’re together. Nicole can be very forceful when she doesn’t get her way, and Joel doesn’t respond well to that,” the source added.

The only thing keeping them together is their children Harlow and Sparrow. "If it wasn’t for the kids, they’d be divorced already. Nicole’s trying to hang on for their sake, but she’s at her breaking point,” the insider explained.

From Good Charlotte to bad marriage!

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel welcomed son Silas Randall Timberlake earlier this month, but aside from a possible Instagram post and/or a magazine spread, don't expect to see the celebritot anytime soon!

While Jess and JT will stay in Los Angeles part of the time with their newborn son, they plan on raising him at their home in Big Sky, Montana. "Their house is all set up for the baby," the insider tells Us Weekly. "They want to raise him out of the spotlight." Another source added that "Jessica is happiest when she's in the mountains."

"Jess is opening her kids' restaurant, Au Fudge, near L.A. in five months and has tons of meetings," a pal tells the mag, adding that the actress will be spending a significant amount of time in SoCal as well. Good thing they have a mansion down here too!

"Jessica sees herself as a mom of boys, so it worked out perfectly," the source continued. "Justin is so excited, he doesn't know what to do with himself!" Awww!
