Neil Patrick Harris To Host The 2015 Academy Awards

Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2014 1:55pm PDT       By X17 Staff

It's the big time for Neil Patrick Harris ...

Broadway baby, TV actor and film star Neil Patrick Harris is taking his singing, dancing, triple-threat talent straight to the Academy Awards stage as next year's host. The How I Met Your Mother star is slated to helm the 87th Annual Academy Awards, to be held on Feb. 22, 2015, reports Variety.

"It is truly an honor and a thrill to be asked to host this year's Academy Awards. I grew up watching the Oscars and was always in such awe of some of the greats who hosted the show," Harris said in a statement. "To be asked to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, and everyone else who had the great fortune of hosting is a bucket list dream come true."

You may think that Harris has hosted the most watched awards show before -- but you'd be wrong. The Gone Girl actor has hosted the Tony Awards four times and the Emmys twice -- so the Oscars seem like a natural fit. We can't wait for a rousing song and dance number!

 

Jennifer Lawrence Returns From London With Boyfriend Chris Martin's Love Button

Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2014 1:50pm PDT       By X17 Staff


It's getting serious, guys!

On Tuesday Jennifer Lawrence landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and while she covered her pretty face with her sweater, we got a full view of the Love Button Movement pin on her bag. As you know, J. Law's boyfriend Chris Martin has a handful of these pins (and he literally wears them every day), so we have a feeling he gifted her with this one! First comes love, then comes marriage...

But really, the Love Button Movement is a nonprofit organization which is a "good old fashioned, boots-on-the-ground, grassroots effort to bring people together in loving ways throughout the real world."

The 24-year-old actress attended the premiere of Serena on Monday at the BFI London Film Festival, but she left for the U.K. last Friday, so it looks like she had plenty of down time with her man. Chris is reportedly working on new music in London, so hopefully he'll come back to the states to hang with his sweetheart before she kicks of a crazy promotional tour for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 next month.

And just how serious are these two lovebirds? Apparently the 37-year-old singer recently met Jen's mom and she wants him to come celebrate the holidays with the family! Jennifer's grandmother, Carolyn Kloch, reportedly told The Sun, "Jennifer's mum flew to Los Angeles to meet Chris. We will have to get another chair for the dinner table at Christmas! The family is getting so big we might have to split up for gatherings."

 

X17 EXCLUSIVE - Justin Bieber's All-Night Party Was Last Hurrah Before Ditching Condo

Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2014 1:20pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Take that, tenants!

Justin Bieber threw such a wild party at his Beverly Hills condo last night that the cops were called and we have the story behind the story! X17online can report exclusively that the reason he wasn't worried about upsetting neighbors and his landlord is because his six-month lease is set to expire in a matter of days. Seems like this was a big F-you to all his neighbors!

    "Justin's lease is up in October, and since none of the fellow residents want him to be allowed to renew it, it was his chance to throw one last rager with no consequences," our source revealed.


Although The Biebs was rumored to have moved into a new home in the Hollywood Hills already, his leopard Audi A8 is still parked at his former pad, so he hasn't completely moved out or surrendered the keys just yet.

We would have died for an invite to the sizzurp soiree!

 

Snoop Dogg Calls Iggy Azalea "C*nt," Says She's "F*cking With The Wrong N****"

Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2014 12:34pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Eff the claws, the guns are out! Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea have been firing shots at each other via social media for the past few days -- and things seem to be escalating! On Tuesday night, Snoop posted a horrific vid, bashing the 24-year-old. And we have to say things are turning really ugly.

Late last night, Snoop shared an expletive-filled Instagram vid slamming the Aussie rapper, calling her a "c*nt," a "b*tch" and saying that she's "f*cking with the wrong n****." Wow. Just wow.

Given his haphazard Instagram account, we weren't sure if Snoop actually had control of his account during the initial feud -- but this video confirms that the "Gin and Juice" rapper is in full control and full-steam ahead in the Iggy attacks.

The hubbub all started on Monday when Snoop posted a photo of a woman with cornrows that had a caption reading "Iggy Azalea with no makeup," which Iggy took offense to and fired back. The Long Beach superstar then upped the game with yet another offensive meme (a split pic of Iggy and Marlon Wayans in the film White Girls. Of course -- not one to let things go, Iggy retaliated on Tuesday by posting a pic of of the rapper with the caption ... "When your drug addict aunt gets clean."

Iggy's pic may have been not so nice, but we think Snoop deserved it after his cruel tactics. We usually love the weed-smoking star -- but we aren't down with any of this, especially calling a strong woman, who wasn't taking being publicly bullied lying down, a "c*nt" and a "b*tch." Not cool, Snoop!

Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2014 11:50am PDT       By X17 Staff

This reeks of a pity story planted by Kris Jenner to make her youngest daughter feel important!

Kylie Jenner is apparently the fan favorite of the Kardashian family, and her star is rising at a rapid rate. So what exactly is this based on?Fashion website Polyvore released a graph based on Google searches of the K clan, and although Kim K's been getting attention for her wedding and Kendall's been getting attention for her modeling career, it is Kylie who has seen a steady increase in hits over the past several years. Has it ever occurred to anyone that people Google the 17-year-old to look at plastic surgery pictures of her rapidly changing face? We know we have…

Other feathers in the teenager's cap include her $5000 an episode salary for KUWTK, lucrative modeling gigs and magazine shoots, various endorsement deals, her new hair extension line, and her legions of followers on social media.

Next thing we know, Time magazine is going to name her one of the 25 Most Influential Teens… oh wait, that happened!

Well Scott Disick certainly seems to be keeping up his high profile, luxury lifestyle. The 31-year-old has been tooling around the valley in his new ride -- a Bugatti Veyron, priced at $1.7 million, making it one of the world's most expensive cars.

Earlier today, the Keeping Up With the Kardsashians star zoomed about is the extravagant toy. And last night, the too-cool-for-school reality star ushered his pregnant lady love to a dinner date in the fancy ride. There's nothing too luxe for an unofficial member of the Kardashian klan!

The car is believed to be on loan from the car dealership Calabasas Luxury Motorcars. Let's hope he doesn't get a scratch on it!

 

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO - Mickey Rourke Opens Up About Depression And Weight Gain, Compares Himself To "Fat Elvis"!

Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2014 10:39am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's not that we have a crush on Mickey Rourke, but we find him so interesting, we'd love to sit down for a chat over coffee. Er, make that chamomile tea!

After going swimming with a gym buddy, Mickey grabbed some tea at Starbucks in West Hollywood, and the 62-year-old actor was in a great mood when he gabbed with our X17 videographer. And not only was he super nice, but he opened up about his changing physique and make a joke about his spandex!

On putting on some pounds following the success of The Wrestler, for which he received an Oscar nomination in 2008, Mickey tells us:
    "I got myself up to about 250 pounds a year ago ... then sh*t hit the fan, a little bit of this, a little bit of depression, and next thing you know I was Fat Elvis."

On a lighter note, when asked to pose for a photo, Rourke quipped, "I ain't got my tights on so we're ok today."

Paris Hilton took her teacup Pomeranian Prince Hilton to Barneys New York in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, and while she looked fantastic in a short skirt and sky-high Louboutin pumps, our attention was mostly focused on her adorable pup!

Paris posted a pic of the tiny dog on Instagram and wrote, "Being such a good boy while mommy shops ... Cruising around town in my baby blue with my baby love." Last night P hopped on a red-eye to New York City, and the heiress and her fuzzy companion landed early this morning. While P tweeted that Prince was a bit jet lagged, she was clearly ready to conquer the Big Apple!
