No One Can Stop Lady Gaga And Her Ratchet Wig

Posted on Wed Oct 15th, 2014 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Wearing an ill-fitting dress and one ratchet weave, a braless Lady Gaga gave onlookers quite the eyeful when she arrived at LAX on Tuesday afternoon! We'd ask what the hell she was thinking when she opted for this odd Grecian ensemble -- but we never know what the "Applause" singer is thinking -- so we won't even bother.

We have to say, Mother Monster looked pretty bored when she arrived at the airport, and we can't blame her -- we're bored of the constant parade of different ensembles. Just pick one aesthetic (that fits) and stick to it -- at least for a week!

Despite the lack of success of Lady G's Artpop, the big-voiced songstress has teamed up with Tony Bennett to create an album of jazz standards, Cheek to Cheek. On Monday, the unlikely duo recently released a video of their recording session for the song "But Beautiful."

Bennett first sang the song, which was originally recorded by Bing Crosby, on his 1975 album, The Tony Bennett and Bill Evans Album. In the video below, Gaga and the 88-year-old icon play off each other while they are accompanied by a jazz band and an orchestra. Upon its release, Cheek to Cheek went straight to the top of Billboard's 200 album chart as well as the Top Jazz Albums chart.

We love Gaga but we just wish she'd try to wow us with her voice instead of how many wigs she can wear in a month!

Earlier today the news broke that Kesha was suing former producer Dr. Luke for sexual and physical abuse, but now Dr. Luke (nee Lukasz Gottwald) has filed a counter suit and shot down the singer's accusations.

In his suit, which was filed just hours after Kesha's, Luke says the allegations are lies created by both Kesha and mother, Pebe, along with Kesha's new management firm. Luke's lawyer, Christine Lepera, tells TMZ Kesha's abuse suit is part of "a campaign of publishing outrageous and untrue statements," adding that Kesha and her mom have already admitted the statements are false.

Luke claims he's had a copy of Kesha's abuse lawsuit for several months now, and she was threatening to file it if he didn't release her from her recording contract. Additionally, Luke claims Kesha tried extort him by threatening to release false stories to a blogger who started a "Free Kesha" website as well.

Hmm, who do you believe?

 

Orlando Bloom Goes Hiking In Flip Flops

Posted on Tue Oct 14th, 2014 12:50pm PDT       By X17 Staff


That's quite the odd choice of fitness footwear!

Orlando Bloom took advantage of the warm weather by heading out for a hike in Hollywood yesterday, and the actor opted to wear flip flops rather than a traditional athletic shoe for his workout. The Pirates of the Caribbean star was sporting a huge smile, and we have a feeling it's because he's finally found romance since his split from Miranda Kerr.

Apparently, the British hunk has been pulling out all the stops to woo Margot Robbie! "Orlando has been bombarding her with flirty text messages and phone calls," a source told Women's Day. Not only that, but he has allegedly been showering her with gifts in an attempt to grab her attention.

He certainly loves his Australian ladies!

 

Time Magazine Slammed For Naming Kendall And Kylie Jenner To Their 25 Most Influential Teens List

Kendall and Kylie Jenner earned the number seventeen spot on Time Magazine's 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 list, but a number of critics and youngsters alike are slamming the mag for including the reality stars with youngsters like Malala Yousafzai, who is the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. And for the record, Yousafzai was behind the Jenner girls on the list at the number eighteen spot. Sigh.

Time notes that the girls have "hosted red-carpet events, released clothing and nail polish lines and even published a dystopian young-adult novel this past summer." Well, lets not forget that the girls had another writer helping them, and the only reason their apparel and beauty collections got picked up was because they are reality TV stars!

And we're not the only ones who feel this way! As far as comments on the social media, one Twitter user wrote, "What’s wrong with this magazine?" and another teen wrote, "If I live in a world where Time names Kendall & Kylie Jenner as the most influential ppl of 2014 I don’t want to be a part of it any longer."

Martha Stewart Mocks Gwyneth Paltrow's "Conscious Uncoupling" With A Delicious Dig

Posted on Tue Oct 14th, 2014 11:58am PDT       By X17 Staff


Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow have had a bit of a lifestyle brand battle lately, but as far as we can see, Martha has emerged as the victor every time the ladies have an exchange. And her latest jab at the Oscar winner has us rolling on the floor and grabbing our sides, because we doubt Gwynnie will EVER find a way to top this!

In case you needed a run down of their history, about a year ago, Bloomberg TV asked Stewart what she thought of Paltrow's Goop brand. "I haven't eaten at Gwyneth's house, and I've never seen how she lives," Martha said. "But if she is authentic, all the better. I mean, I certainly hope she is. She really wants to be part of the lifestyle business. [She] has a book on the best-seller list. She must be doing something right. She's a charming, pretty person who has a feeling for lifestyle. She wants to be a lifestyle arbiter. Fine. Good. I think I started this whole category of lifestyle."

But then last month Net-a-Porter had a chat with M. Stew, and she was a bit less kind. "[Paltrow] just needs to be quiet," she said. "She's a movie star. If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn't be trying to be Martha Stewart." Burn! And after that, Paltrow finally commented on Stewart's remarks and told Real Simple, "No one has ever said anything bad about me before, so I'm shocked and devastated. I'll try to recover. If I'm really honest, I'm so psyched that she sees [Goop] as competition. I really am."

So what's the latest? Check out page 116 of the November issue of Martha Stewart Living, in which she talks "conscious coupling" between the "perfect marriage" of crust and filling:


There's NO WAY this made it in Martha's mag without her approving of it, and giving how much negative attention Gwynnie got for her "conscious uncoupling" from estranged hubby Chris Martin this year, this has to sting even more. Point Martha!

Sofia Vergara Looks As Good Coming As She Does Going

Posted on Tue Oct 14th, 2014 11:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


She doesn't have a bad angle!

Sofia Vergara paid a visit to her dermatologist in Beverly Hills yesterday, and the actress managed to make simple jeans and a white t-shirt look sexy. When you have a booty like that, though, it's not all that difficult!

The Modern Family star's skin is so flawless that she must be getting some sort of miracle treatment at the facility. The brunette bombshell isn't ashamed of being pro-plastic surgery, either. "If it makes you happier and more confident, then why not? But I also think you need to do your research, so you know what to expect - that you'll look fresher but not necessarily younger. I don't want to age, but hey, what can you do? It's a natural process. I'm trying to do it gracefully," she recently told InStyle.

Joe Manganiello is one lucky guy!

 

Iggy Azalea Calls Snopp Dogg An "Ass" After He Posts Mean Tweet

Posted on Tue Oct 14th, 2014 10:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's a Twitter war! Iggy Azalea and Snoop Dogg are in quite the Twitter battle after the "Drop It Like It's Hot" rapper tweeted a pic attacking the Aussie singer's appearance, which said,"Iggy Azalea No Make Up."

In response to the photo, Iggy wrote on Monday, "@SnoopDogg why would you post such a mean pic on insta when you send your body guards to ask me for pictures every time we are at shows together?"

The "Fancy" singer also added: "My bodyguard stopped the fire truck that saved your friends life in canada when he almost burnt down the hotel. and every time I've ever spoken to you you've always been nice as hell, I'm disappointed you'd be such an ass for no reason."

Snoop, who is notoriously nice, may have had too much reefer and thought this was funny in the moment because he has since taken the pic down, but has yet to publicly comment on the public slamming. Azalea has also since deleted the tweets.

Let's hope this tiff between rappers is dunzo!

UPDATE: Looks like the rap battle is not over. Just after our post went up, a pic showed up on Snoop's Instagram which features a split image of Iggy and Marlon Wayans in White Chicks, comparing the two. Along with the no-so-nice juxtaposition, Snoop (or whoever's handling Snoop's Insta) wrote "Ok last one. Hahahahaha I didn't make this sh*t up I jus post smoke n chill Hahahahahahah. So says Todd." Seems a bit cruel -- but the whole thing sounds like a bunch of dudes stoned out of their minds having a little too much fun at Iggy's expense on social media. Either way, we can't really disagree with the White Chicks comparison -- we've been saying it around the office for months!

 

BREAKING NEWS - Kesha Sues Former Manager, Dr. Luke, For Sexual And Physical Abuse

Posted on Tue Oct 14th, 2014 10:12am PDT       By X17 Staff

In a shocking turn of events, Kesha is claiming that she was sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused for 10 years by her producer, Dr. Luke, reports TMZ. The singer/songwriter is striking back -- suing the music man, claiming that she almost died as a result of the years of abuse.

In a new lawsuit, the "Tick Tock" singer alleges that the super producer was abusive to her from when she signed on with him at the age of 18. The 27-year-oid claims that he repeatedly made sexual advances toward her, forcing her to use drugs and alcohol to render her defenseless.

The lawsuit alleges that Dr. Luke forced Kesha to snort something before getting on a plane and then during the trip, he forced himself upon her while she was drugged.

Kesha also alleges he forced her to drink with him, which led to a her waking up naked in Dr. Luke's bed, sore, sick and with no memory of what happened.

Kesha's complaints towards the not-so-good doc are not new. The unruly singer alleged earlier this year that Dr. Luke's emotional abuse is what led to much talked about eating disorder. She claims Dr. Luke said, among other things, "You are not that pretty, you are not that talented, you are just lucky to have me."  She claims he called her "a fat f***ing refrigerator."

This news is the first time we've heard of any physical and sexual abuse.

Kesha's lawyer, Mark Geragos, told the website, "This lawsuit is a wholehearted effort by Kesha to regain control of her music career and her personal freedom after suffering for ten years as a victim of mental manipulation, emotional abuse and an instance of sexual assault at the hands of Dr. Luke." 

Geragos adds, "The facts presented in our lawsuit paint a picture of a man who is controlling and willing to commit horrible acts of abuse in an attempt to intimidate an impressionable, talented, young female artist into submission for his personal gain. Kesha is focused on moving her life and her career beyond this terrible time."

X17online can report EXCLUSIVELY, that Kesha is in hiding right now, trying to stay out of the spotlight as the news made headlines. She returned to the States from Shanghai October 7, arriving in Newark, and has been hiding every since. On October 10, she tweeted, "I think people forget I'm from Nashville." On October 11, she tweeted a graphic reading, "Salt water heals all wounds" and captioned it "Tears sweat or ocean." Does this offer us any clues as to her whereabouts? Where in the world is Kesha?
