Lady Gaga Highlights Striking Resemblance To The Late Amy Winehouse

Posted on Mon Aug 18th, 2014 9:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


We all knew Lady Gaga looked a lot like Amy Winehouse -- but the resemblance is uncanny!

Over the weekend, a black-haired Mother Monster posted a sexy selfie, and fans couldn't help but notice the striking similarity between Gaga and the late Winehouse, who died of an overdose in July 2011.

Along with snap, Gaga, who was sporting Winehouse's signature cat-eye and bouffant for the pic, wrote, "Off to Australia. Will be dreaming of my Aussie Monsters."

The physical similarities between the two have long been noted -- but to see it so clearly is surprising. The "Do What U Want" singer, who naturally has dark hair, has said in past interviews that she dyed her hair blonde at the beginning of her career because so many people mistook her for the British soul singer. It's the nose!

Despite the mistaken identity, Gaga has said she was emboldened by the singer's popularity when she was an up-and-coming artist, looking for a place in the music industry.

"She was my only hope when I was up and coming," Lady Gaga said to Rolling Stone after the British singer's untimely death. "Nobody knew who I was and I had no fans, no record label and everybody, when they met me, said I wasn’t pretty enough or that my voice was too low or strange. They had nowhere to put me. And then I saw her in Rolling Stone and I saw her live. I just remember thinking ‘Well, they found somewhere to put Amy…’"

In other Gaga news, the popstar jumped on the ALS ice bucket challenge earlier today. Clad in a black leotard, a stoic-looking Gaga traded in her bucket for a silver bowl and dumped the bowl of ice over her head without saying a word. Really we'd expect nothing less from the always bizarre 28 year old!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Justin Bieber Drives Selena Gomez Home After A Sexy Sleepover

Posted on Mon Aug 18th, 2014 9:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


Justin Bieber and Selena are officially back together (they're just as bad as Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran!) and on Sunday the singer dropped his lady love off at her Tarzana home after the two spent the night at Bieber's Beverly Hills condo. He could have called her an Uber, but he was gentleman enough to drive her back all by himself. But maybe part of it was him wanting to show off his new red Ferrari?

The on-again/off-again couple reportedly attended a bible study on Wednesday night at the City Church in Los Angeles, and though Biebs posted a photo on Instagram of the two, he quickly deleted it. We're thinking there will be a new snuggly selfie of the pop supercouple by the end of the week though...

We can't even keep track of how many times the two have broken up and gotten back together over the last few months, but it does seem like Selena's always the one going to Justin's place. We think she should listen to her own song and let HIM come and get it -- she's just throwing herself at him! But have you seen his abs? We kinda get it...

Posted on Mon Aug 18th, 2014 8:49am PDT       By X17 Staff


Chris Brown and pal Quincy Combs had a charity football game over the weekend, and at the end of the event, the boys and their famous friends got the hundreds of fans and participants to raise their hands as a peaceful (but somewhat noisy) protest over the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Missouri native Nelly, along with Brown, The Game, Trey Songz, Wale and Lil Mama put their arms in the air and posed for photos while the crowd cheered them on.

Nelly tweeted, "all for protest and rally's were solution are strategically place for future Not for looting.That's what they want to justify there moves," and earlier today The Game Instagrammed a photo of a cop macing a young African-American girl and wrote, "President Obama.... What if this was one of your daughters ??? #SpreadThisPost #Ferguson #2014Racism…"

And they weren't the only ones who had something to say about the events Ferguson. On Saturday Russell Simmons went to dinner in Beverly Hills, and when we caught up with the music mogul, and he told our X17 videographer, "A community should not have 50 white cops and 3 black cops in a 65% black community. The reason that happened is because the lack of communication between police and community -- so we should do police sensitivity training." When asked about Wall Street Journal editorial board member Jason Riley criticizing Al Sharpton, Simmons responds, "It's Al Sharpton's job to create awareness about injustice."

This isn't her best look!

Kim Kardashian shared some Instagram pics of herself in a variety of provocative outfits sporting cornrows over the weekend, but thank goodness this hairstyle was just temporary for her new HYPE Energy drink campaign.

This isn't the first time Kimmy K has sported braids, and we're sure it won't be the last, but we hope it is! The reality star looks much better with long flowing locks. We wonder what Kanye thinks of this hairstyle?

It has a ring to it!

Christina Aguilera and fiance Matt Rutler have named their newborn daughter Summer Rain Rutler, the singer announced on Twitter Sunday.

"So proud to welcome our beautiful daughter Summer Rain Rutler into the world," the new mom wrote. The Grammy winner gave birth via C-section on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. This is the second child for the songstress, who also has son Max, 6, from her previous marriage to Jordan Bratman.

Xtina and her beau became engaged on Valentine's Day of this year and shortly after revealed they were expecting. The pair met on the set of her 2010 film Burlesque.

Congrats to the happy family!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Halle Berry Shows Off Son Maceo!

Posted on Mon Aug 18th, 2014 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Halle Berry proudly propped up her baby boy Maceo, on Sunday, as she made her way to the Malibu Country Mart with some friends.

It's significant because it's the FIRST TIME the 48-year-old mom-of-two has shown off her adorable son in public.

The move comes amid recent reports she and French hubby Olivier Martinez are having marital trouble. "The whole family was supposed to go on a make-or-break holiday, but that fell apart because neither Olivier nor Halle wanted to make it happen. They have drifted apart and only get together for the sake of Maceo. They’re just delaying the inevitable - announcing their split," a source reportedly told OK Magazine.

Berry just celebrated her birthday last Thursday and strangely, no photos emerged of a happy couple enjoying a romantic meal in Beverly Hills -- no luxe vacation in the Caribbean, no sign of Olivier jewelry shopping ahead of the big day. So what gives? Is Halle on her way to becoming a single mom?

Poll

Are Halle and Olivier headed for divorce?
Are Halle and Olivier headed for divorce?
For sure -- we haven't seen these two together in a while. It's over!
No way -- they have a baby together; they're in it for the long-haul.
Who knows -- these Hollywood types are unpredictable!

 

What Marriage Trouble?

Posted on Mon Aug 18th, 2014 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Ben Affleck flew home from Detroit to celebrate his 42nd birthday with the wifey and kids ... and low and behold, he found Jennifer Garner was pregnant! Just kidding ... not really ...

Could it be that even though Ben's out of town working on Batman, he somehow knocked up Jen? Or is it that she's not pregnant? Or is it that someone else ...

Kidding again ...

The happy couple celebrated Ben's big day with daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel and stepped out in the morning to grab a coffee (probably decaf for Jen) and then Ben gassed up the ol' Chevy.

There's just something about a hot guy, and a hot car ... we just MELT. Can you image how many girls must throw themselves at Ben? It must be SO difficult to stay faithful!

 

Chris Brown Gets Back Together With Girlfriend Karrueche Tran At His Flag Football Charity Event

Posted on Sun Aug 17th, 2014 2:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Chris Brown and pal Quincy Combs hosted a star-studded flag football charity game on Saturday, and while Chris was quite animated on the field, it was what he was doing off the field that caught our attention. Yup, that's on-again/off-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran giggling in his arms! And it must be serious again, because Chris posted a photo of them together on Instagram shortly after that...

The couple reportedly split two weeks ago after Chris liked two Instagram fan photos of ex-girlfriend Rihanna, and when Chris took one of Karrueche's friends with him to St. Tropez, she was so pissed she deleted his phone number, according to TMZ. Guess she found a way to forgive him!

A portion of the proceeds from yesterday's event are going to Brown's Symphonic Love charity, which supports and creates art programs for youth. Kendall and rapper The Game were among the celebs in attendance, and the two supported Brown's Black Pyramid team. Kendall hung with pal Shamari Maurice, but she was also spotted with a skinny mystery man AND another guy with several face tattoos. Way to make the rounds, girl:
