Taylor Swift Talks Drinking, Dating, And Her Squeaky Clean Reputation With Barbara Walters

Posted on Wed Dec 10th, 2014 10:40am PDT       By X17 Staff

Don't call her a good girl!

Taylor Swift sat down to chat about drinking, boys, and her role model status on Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People, and the singer almost made herself sound likable!

The veteran host started out the sit-down by remarking on the chart topper's squeaky clean reputation, but T-Swizzle was quick to correct her. "I mean, I do drink, I am 25. So it's not like, I mean… Yeah, I was at a Knicks game and I had a beer and everybody was like, 'Ohhh!' I was like, 'Tsk,'" she confessed. Not that the Grammy winner is going wild, though! "I did wait until I was 21 to drink. I was so paranoid about getting in trouble or setting the wrong example or sending the wrong message," she added.

The "Trouble" songstress then went on to explain how her fans keep her behavior in check. "I put every one of my actions through a filter before I do them because that's the way my life is. That the reality… If I do something reckless or thoughtless or careless, or I treat someone badly, that doesn't just affect me; it affects that person. Then, if that story gets out, or some 10-year-old sees that I did that in a news article… my actions do have ripples," she mused.

Not that she minds being an idol! In fact, the 25-year-old quite likes the responsibility of being a public figure. "It's kind of a nice thing to keep you in check to live a good life. It's not like some gilded golden cage that people make it out to be. Living your life the 'right way' and trying to make 'good decisions' is not necessarily some horrible penalty," she revealed.

The blonde beauty's dating life has been the subject of countless rumors, which is why she has chosen to take a step back and focus on things other than romance. "I don't see a scenario right now, the way my life is, in which it could work. So I don't think about it because I don't like to think about things that I can't solve," she stated when asked about being in a relationship.

We think Tay Tay is a little liar liar with her pants on fire, though, because Us Weekly is reporting that she is dating musician Matt Healy. "It's very new and they're having fun. They're seeing where things go," a source dished to the mag.

She's just shaking off her haters!

If we didn't know better we would have thought it was a pajama party!

Lindsay Lohan and her sister Ali attended the Sunday Times Style Christmas party in London last night, and the actress wore a festive red satin jumpsuit that made it look like she just rolled out of bed! We barely recognized her little sister! From the dark hair to the bangs, she looks totally different than the last time we saw her!

Apparently, the siblings are lending their talents to Duran Duran's new album, and spent some time with the band in the studio just yesterday. "Lindsay was in the studio with the boys from 6:30pm right through to 1am. Lindsay's contribution is more of a spoken word part, while Ali is singing on the track - the sisters will feature on the same song which they thought was really cool. She [Lindsay] has been thinking of giving music another shot recently after recording with Kate Moss' husband Jamie Hince from The Kills, last year," a source dished to The Mirror.

Now that her play is over, she's got nothing but time! It's not like she has any roles lined up on the big screen!

 

Angelina Remains Unbroken Amid Sony Leak Calling Her "Minimally Talented Spoiled Brat"

Posted on Wed Dec 10th, 2014 9:31am PDT       By X17 Staff


Taking a break from promoting her film Unbroken, Angelina Jolie was a beauty in black during an Difret screening and party in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night. Wearing a silk black ensemble, the stunner signed autographs for fans while at the event. While it appears as though some were delighted by Jolie's presence, it seems like not everyone's a fan -- namely Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Social Network producer, Scott Rudin.

In the recent wake of the Sony hacking scandal, attacking emails from the super producer to Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal have surfaced in which he slams the Oscar winner for trying to make an update of Cleopatra which would cause his own film about Steve Jobs to be pushed back.

In the email he calls Jolie, “a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this [Cleopatra movie] off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie [Unbroken]... She’s a camp event and a celebrity and that’s all and the last thing anybody needs is to make a giant bomb with her that any fool could see coming.”

Umm ... well tell us how you really feel Scotty Boy!

This is kind of ironic since the 39-year-old starred as one bad-ass elite hacker in a movie called Hackers back in 1995. We wonder what Acid Burn or Zero Cool would have to say about all this hubbub?!

HACK THE PLANET!

Breezy knows how to groove!

Chris Brown treated the kids from Dorsey High School to an epic dance battle during a LAPD charity basketball game benefitting the Symphonic Love foundation last night, and the R&B bad boy has serious moves!

The "Loyal" singer began dancing on the court as people crowded around, and there was even a tiny toddler that got in on the action! It's nice to see the music making trouble maker being a good example for the youth, rather than a terrible one!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Makeup-Free Kate Hudson Looks Better Than Ever After Split From Fiance Matt Bellamy

Posted on Wed Dec 10th, 2014 8:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kate Hudson may have just split from fiance Matt Bellamy, but she certainly doesn't have the breakup blues!

On Tuesday night the 35-year-old actress visited with BFF Sara Foster, and we also spotted Nicole Richie arriving at Foster's Los Angeles home. Girls' night in!

Even minus the makeup, Kate was totally glowing -- might this have something to do with the fact that she has been hot and heavy with Dancing With The Stars pro Derek Hough since splitting from her baby daddy?

Kate and Derek were spotted making out at The Nice Guy in Hollywood last Friday, and on Monday her rep confirmed what X17 first reported -- that Kate and Matt had parted ways. But given the Almost Famous starlet's track record with men, will this rebound romance with Derek last?

With all the coats Kate Middleton has been wearing over the last few days in New York City, we practically forgot that she's pregnant with her second child!

On Tuesday night Prince William and Duchess Kate attended the St. Andrews 600th Anniversary dinner at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and she showed off her royal baby bump in a navy Jenny Packham gown, which she's worn a number of times before.

The St. Andrews bash marks the end of their three-day tour of NYC and Washington D.C., and seeing as the university is where the two met, it's only fitting that they'd save the best event for last. In a letter to the guests, Prince William wrote, "For Catherine and me, it will always be a very special place and we have the warmest of memories of our time as undergraduates and the friends we made there." Awww!

The anniversary celebration supports scholarships for students from under-privileged communities and helps raise funds for the school. Other attendees included Anna Wintour, Mary-Kate Olsen and her fiance Olivier Sarkozy.

Earlier in the day Will and Kate visited the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, and in between attending the Creativity is Great reception and the St. Andrews dinner, they also made time to stop by The Door, an educational center that has teamed up with the CityKids foundation, providing support to disadvantaged youth.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Ashton Kutcher Takes A Break From Daddy Duty And Heads To The Studio

Posted on Wed Dec 10th, 2014 6:35am PDT       By X17 Staff


Ashton Kutcher stopped by the studio in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, and though he's now a dad (and 36 years old!) he still dresses like college punk! Well, a very handsome one, but you know...

Since welcoming daughter Wyatt Isabelle with fiance Mila Kunis in October, Ashton hasn't been out much, but it seems like the couple are finally getting into the swing of the whole parenting thing. Mila made her first appearance last month, and a source told Us Weekly that the actress is "back to doing yoga and working out several times a week," adding that she and Ashton are "really happy and adjusting to having a baby."

Ashton echoed that sentiment when he appeared on The Talk the other day, telling the show, "Everybody says what you get a child, they don’t come with an owner’s manual, but that’s kinda not true because Google’s kind of like an owner’s manual. You can pretty much Google anything and it’s there. For me, I go to my partner, you know? I talk to Mila, and we make choices. We did a lot of research -- we both did like, a lot of research."

"I'd been a parent to teenage girls before in my life, and so I have experience with girls, and experience with that like, from age seven to 25," he continued. "But infants, it was like a whole new thing. So, we really started studying what it is to take care of a baby and how you do it, and the whole thing. It's all on Google, it's kinda there."

He's joking, right?!
