President Obama Says He Doesn't Call Kanye West On His "Home Number"

Posted on Fri Mar 13th, 2015 8:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Yeezy apparently likes to stretch the truth!

President Obama appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and he took the opportunity to clear up the rumors that Kanye West started when the rapper claimed Obama made personal calls to him.

"I understand that I’m a servant. And with my voice, with my ability to build relationships with amazing people, speak to amazing people, call Elon Musk out of the blue or call Obama out of the blue — Obama calls the home phone, by the way," Mr. West told Oxford University students at a recent meet-and-greet.

"I've met Kanye twice. The first time when I was a senator. He was with his mom [the late Donda West]. He had just gotten big. He's from Chicago, so they wanted to meet. He was very soft-spoken, very gracious. He was a young guy. He hadn't quite... come into his own," the President revealed to the talk show host.

"About six months ago, he came to an event. Look, I love his music. He's incredibly creative. I don't think I've got his home number," he added.

Yeezus isn't as as good of a friend with the POTUS as he would like us to think!

 

Kathy Griffin Quits Fashion Police!

Posted on Fri Mar 13th, 2015 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kathy Griffin is bailing after just seven shows!

The funny lady was hired to replace Fashion Police hostess with the mostess Joan Rivers after the comedienne's untimely death in September, but the gig wasn't right for her, she said in a statement, Thursday.

    "I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show and now it's time to move on," Griffin said on Twitter. "When I chose to step into the shoes of my beloved Joan Rivers…I was thrilled to continue her legacy as a woman being brash and eccentric on television. I am a freedom-loving female and gay rights activist who loves to find the funny in all people, attitudes, beliefs, and appearances, but only when the context permits intelligent humor. My brand of humor, while unrepentant and unafraid, is all about CONTEXT…Listen, I am no saint…But I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference. I want to help women, gay kids, people of color and anyone who feels underrepresented to have a voice and a LAUGH!”


Speaking of laugh, we think it's funny that Kathy herself seems bitten by the bug of unattainable perfectionism, in that she's had five million different plastic surgery procedures, so she herself, clearly thought she didn't live up to society's standards and tried to "fix" that through nipping and tucking. Does she regret it? Is she hinting that public scrutiny about looks hurt her and drove her to drastic measures? We wonder ...

Meanwhile it seems like other not-so-perfect celebs are backing the funny lady's move. Lena Dunham tweeted a photo of Griffin wearing a pair of Minnie Mouse ears. Along with the snap she wrote, "Congrats to my beautiful friend Kathy Griffin for bravely saying enough is enough to intolerance of all kinds on television. She's modeling a better way for the youths (and working those ears.)"

 

Kim Kardashian Arrives Back In L.A. With Her Favorite Accessory, Nori

Posted on Thu Mar 12th, 2015 3:05pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Fresh off a jam-packed trip to France for Paris Fashion Week, Kim Kardashian landed in Los Angeles carrying her daughter, North West, who looked rather unenthusiastic about being carted around the world like a Saint Laurent bag.

For the flight, Kim, who donned an all-black ensemble, dressed her wee one in an all-black ensemble, complete with little oxblood red Doc Martens. If we aren't mistaken -- those are tiny versions of the Docs that Miley wore in the "Wrecking Ball" video! That is one trendy baby!

The 34-year-old is back in her hometown after setting Paris alight with her newly blonde mane.

Lori Goddard, one of the two colorists who treated Kim's tresses, told Us Weekly the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star's foray into blonde town cost a whopping $500!

The colorist from West Hollywood's Goddard + Bragg salon says the transformation took place on March 3 at Kim's house and took about four hours. However just four days later, Mrs. West decided she needed to go even blonder -- so she stopped into L'Atelier Blanc while in Paris, and colorist Frédéric Mennetrier, "fully got the color right."

Kim explained the reason behind her dye job, "I was like, 'Why not have a fun new look?'"

Maybe because with your coloring, bleach blond does nothing for you?! JUST AN IDEA!

 

Kourtney Kardashian Keeps Her Hands Full As Scott Disick Is Nowhere To Be Found

Posted on Thu Mar 12th, 2015 1:34pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Kourtney Kardashian had her hands full with mom duty as she carried daughter Penelope after her dance class. But here's the big question -- Where's Scott Disick?! That's what we want to know!

Kourt gave birth to son Reign back in December and since then we've barely seen the unmarried couple together.

Last week, the oldest Kardashian reportedly put her foot down and made Disick cancel a few of his UK club tour gigs. Instead, the Lord joined Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in Paris.

On March 5, the father of three was supposed to appear at club Switch in Southampton, UK but pulled out at the last minute. The club posted on its Facebook page, “Due to circumstances beyond control of both the club and the organizers of tonight’s event, Lowercase Events, Scott Disick will be unable to appear in Bournemouth tonight, having decided at the last minute today to travel to Paris, instead of meeting his contractual obligations to attend nightclubs in both Southampton and Bournemouth.”

In addition, the LD was scheduled to appear at Tiger Tiger in Croydon, England -- but bailed at the last minute. The venue tweeted, “The Lord has let us down.”

We have a feeling he's been letting Kourt down too!

The 35-year-old may have demanded her man back at her side -- but we still haven't seen him back in LA!

 

Gigi And Bella Hadid Spend Some Of Their Modeling Money Shopping In Paris

Posted on Thu Mar 12th, 2015 1:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Ahhh to be young, rich, and beautiful!

Gigi Hadid and her younger sister Bella ventured out for some shopping in Paris today, and life is clearly good for two of the biggest models of the moment! Gigi just wrapped up walking in a bunch of designer shows during Paris Fashion Week, and Bella just landed her first major campaign with Botkier New York.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster must be so proud of her daughters! A lot of girls that grow up with super wealthy parents end up having no career aspirations and just live off their family money, but not these two!

They already have legions of fans, too! Among them? Pop star Miley Cyrus! The "Wrecking Ball" singer is close with both ladies, and even posted a silly Instagram the other day that was meant to be a sign of admiration. "Juz tryin 2 b as kiewt as a Hadid sister," she captioned the below snapshot.

Team Hadid!

 

Khloe Kardashian Plumps Her Rump And Her Pucker

Posted on Thu Mar 12th, 2015 12:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Damn gurl!

Khloe Kardashian hit the gym in L.A. this morning, and we couldn't help but notice that her lips look crazy puffy! Did the reality star get even more lip injections? We think she's naturally beautiful, so whatever she's doing to her pucker is totally unnecessary. When we caught her grabbing frozen yogurt yesterday, her booty looked just as plump!

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has a lot on her plate lately! The new season of her show is getting ready to premiere, she's caught in a love triangle between French Montana and Lamar Odom, and her stepfather Bruce is transitioning into a woman. The 30-year-old bombshell has been standing by the former Olympian, though, and even dropped by his new Malibu pad yesterday for a visit.

We wonder what she and Brucey chatted about during their meet up? There's no shortage of topics to discuss, that's for sure!

 

Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez And More Get Gussied Up For Louis Vuitton Show During Paris Fashion Week

Posted on Thu Mar 12th, 2015 10:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


Oooh ... aaah ... fashion!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been causing quite the commotion during their flock of appearances at Paris Fashion Week -- and last night's stop at the Louis Vuitton show was certainly no different. The proud pair sat front and center as they checked out the catwalk.

For the show, Kanye wore a ripped shirt, black jeans and his favorite pair of suede boots. Blondie Kim opted for a sexy black dress and a pair of killer heels. They certainly know how to make a style statement!

In addition to Kimye, pretty young things Selena Gomez and Chloe Moretz, who were decked out in the brand, also attended the runway show.

On Tuesday, Gomez dropped her new "I Want You To Know"music video with rumored boyfriend Zedd. And even though it's burning up the charts -- we think it's kind of a dud!

 

Renee Zellweger Has Never Looked Better At Paris Fashion Week

Posted on Thu Mar 12th, 2015 10:05am PDT       By X17 Staff


Just gorg!

Renee Zellweger looked picture perfect in a red coat at the Miu Miu show at Paris Fashion Week yesterday, and we can't get over how good the actress looks! Those bangs are really flattering, and we don't normally feel that way when people get fringe.

The Jerry Maguire star caught a lot of criticism this year for reportedly getting so much plastic surgery that she looked unrecognizable, but we just think her new and improved look is the result of her hairstyle and a lot of happiness! A couple years ago, the blonde beauty (right pic) just had an unfortunate haircut and was way too skinny, which aged her face.

Shine on Renee, you look amazing!
