Birdman, Selma And Nightcrawler Lead Independent Spirit Award Nominations

Posted on Tue Nov 25th, 2014 11:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


The nominees for the 2015 Independent Spirit Awards were announced by Rosario Dawson and Diego Luna at the W Hotel in Hollywood on Tuesday, and we're thrilled to see some of our favorite films and actors nominated in the top categories.

Birdman had the most nominations with six, including Best Feature and Best Director. Nightcrawler, Selma and Boyhood each earned five, and the latter of the three are also up against Birdman in the Best Feature category.

Jake Gyllenhaal earned a Best Male Lead nom for Nightcrawler, and other nominees in that category include André Benjamin (Jimi: All Is By My Side), Michael Keaton (Birdman), John Lithgow (Love is Strange) and David Oyelowo (Selma).

The actors in the Best Female lead category are Julianne Moore (Still Alice), Tilda Swinton (Only Lovers Left Alive), Marion Cotillard (The Immigrant), Rinko Kikuchi (Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter) and Jenny Slate (Obvious Child).

Interestingly enough, Foxcatcher will be given a Special Distinction Award, but the drama starring Steve Carell and Channing Tatum didn't get a single nomination. Given how much Oscar buzz the film has been getting over the last few months, we find that rather surprising. Last year, all four Academy Award winners in the acting categories earned the same honors at the Spirits, so the show is seen as a good predictor for the Oscars.

The Indie Spirit Awards are on Saturday, February 21 in Santa Monica ... Click thru to see the complete list of nominees!

Jay Z is one lucky guy!

Beyonce just released her "Haunted" music video, and the singer turns up the heat in a creepy yet sexy hotel setting as she belts out her latest tune.

Queen Bey's track is used in the second official trailer for the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey, which follows up her slowed down version of "Crazy In Love", which was used in the first one. It's a big week for the songstress, who dropped two new surprise singles on Friday and then made the rest of the videos from her visual album available on Vevo.

She just keeps upping the game!

 

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow Spit Out All Sorts Of Swear Words On Jimmy Kimmel Live

Posted on Tue Nov 25th, 2014 9:53am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's only Tuesday, but we have a feeling this is going to be our favorite celebrity video of the whole week!

Jennifer Aniston and BFF/former Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to promote their newest projects, but who cares about that when you have both of the ladies pitted against one another in the Celebrity Curse Off game?!

We'd never seen the segment before, but it's pretty simple: Each contestant is given five seconds to come up with an obscene word/term, and if it can't be bleeped (or if they can't come up with one in time) they lose.

From everyday f-bombs to terms that made us scratch our head, the ladies swapped quite a few foul phrases, but out favorite might have been from Aniston in the last minute of the clip. We're not going to tell you what it was, but we never thought we'd hear her say something so dirty!

 

Kendall Jenner Spends Her Modeling Money With Kylie And Hailey's Help

Posted on Tue Nov 25th, 2014 9:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


Might as well spend some dough if you've got it!

Kendall Jenner went shopping at Curve in Beverly Hills yesterday, and she brought along sister Kylie and bestie Hailey Baldwin to help her pick out some purchases. The model of the moment donned a tight tan pencil skirt and black crop top that showed off her stunning bod, but she didn't wear the most practical shoes for a bunch of dressing room outfit changes.

The 19-year-old cat walker has more than enough cash to drop, considering she just became the new face of Estee Lauder and the star of the latest Chanel campaign. It's kind of sad to watch Kylie and Hailey attempt to hold their own in Queen Kenny's presence!

Later on in the evening, the ladies and a couple pals grabbed dinner at Mastro's steakhouse. Check out the video to see what Kendall had to say about Justin Bieber and what Kylie had to say about those pregnancy rumors!

 

Michael Lohan Weds Kate Major, Doesn't Invite Lindsay Lohan

Posted on Tue Nov 25th, 2014 9:05am PDT       By X17 Staff


Michael Lohan got hitched to baby mama Kate Major. Sorry if we aren't sending a cookie bouquet to the on again/off again couple -- we just mostly feel sad for that kid of theirs.

The 54-year-old deadbeat dad wed Kate, who is pregnant with baby No. 2, on Oct. 30th in a private ceremony at Hillsboro Beach, which in the classiest state of 'em all -- Florida. While Michael, Kate and Landon looked pretty pumped at the wedding -- it turns out that Lindsay and Michael's four other children -- weren't on the invite list to dear old dad's nuptials.

While the couple is trying to look like a picture perfect family -- there are some troubled waters in their past. Major, who met Lohan when she was a reporter at Star magazine, was arrested in March for a DUI, convicted and then sentenced to eight months behind bars. The blushing bride was released in late September. And as for Michael Lohan's past -- he's just Michael Lohan.

Major (who changed her Twitter handle to Kate Major-Lohan) confirmed the news via social media -- referring to MiLo as her "hubby."

Umm ... congrats?

 

Harry Styles And Zayn Malik Get Lots Of Love From Their Fangirls At LAX

Posted on Tue Nov 25th, 2014 8:35am PDT       By X17 Staff


The boys of One Direction were mobbed when they left Los Angeles International Airport on Monday night -- well, two of them, anyway!

Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne left town just hours after the band won three major trophies at the American Music Awards on Sunday night, but Harry and Zayn decided to stay for an extra night before heading to Sydney.

Harry showed off his tatted guns in a short-sleeve shirt, and Zayn didn't look like he was about to keel over, though he did appear a bit exhausted. When asked about recent reports that he has a drug problem, the skinny singer declined to comment...

 

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Have A Nasty Fight, She Smokes A Cigarette To Calm Down

Posted on Tue Nov 25th, 2014 7:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had a huge fight in Australia last week, and while we usually question most tabloid reports, In Touch Weekly managed to get pictures of their squabble, and it looks pretty bad!

"When Brad threw up his arms, you could see the frustration on his face," an eyewitness told the mag. "He was clearly exasperated with her. They kept talking over each other and putting their hands up in anger. They were upset but getting nowhere. Angie looked like she was on the verge of tears." Pitt walked away to end the fight, and while the two hit the red carpet hours later for the premiere of Jolie's new film, Unbroken, "you could tell something was wrong -- they were distant with each other."

It all went down on November 17 on the terrace of the couple's suite at the InterContinental hotel in Sydney, and Jolie was also photographed smoking a cigarette. "Brad doesn’t want her smoking — at all," another insider dished to the mag. Seeing as she had a double mastectomy in 2013 to reduce the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers, we can't believe that she would light up.

And that's not all! When they were done with promotional duties down under, the mag reports that the couple took separate private jets home. Yikes! Does that mean a divorce is imminent? Maybe, but maybe not. Jolie sat down with Tom Brokaw on The Today Show just this morning, and she candidly talked about her relationship with Pitt.

"It did change, in just a feeling of that security and comfort that we always had but recommitting after 10 years of being together," Jolie said of getting married. "We were fortunate enough to be in that unusual situation where got married with our children, and they were part of the ceremony and they wrote some of the vows. So, it was all of us agreeing to be together and to just commit to this life together—not because we had to, not because anything was missing in our lives—but because we were absolutely sure."

"I think we have more moments where I'll say, 'I'm going to be a better wife. I'm going to cook,'" she continued. "And he says, 'Oh, honey. Just know what you're good at. Know what you're not.' But I do this, 'No, no, no! I'm gonna get this wife thing down.' But he knows my limitations and where I'm a good wife and a good mom."

So what about working together in By The Sea? "Ten years on, we've learned a lot more about each other, and it's a film about a very troubled marriage. So, it felt like the appropriate thing to do on our honeymoon," Jolie joked. "I think there's also something to…there's so many ideas of what art should be, and this kind of movie or that kind of movie, and we just wanted to be free. We wanted to be free. We wanted to play. We wanted to try things. We wanted to push each other. We wanted to be artists and see what we could make."

Hopefully they won't be making it to a divorce attorney anytime soon!
