Charlie Hunnam Says Leaving 50 Shades Of Grey Was "Heartbreaking," Beyonce Posts Sexy Teaser For The Film

Posted on Mon Jul 21st, 2014 8:35am PDT       By X17 Staff


Beyonce Knowles posted a quickie teaser for Fifty Shades of Grey on Instagram over the weekend, and while it seems a bit odd, it turns out that the clip is set to a slowed-down version of her “Crazy in Love” song. Guess that explains the uh oh!

Another version of her tune "Haunted" was used in a teaser for the movie that screened at CinemaCon in March, so it seems as though Queen Bey will have a heavy hand in the erotic thriller's soundtrack. Who would have guessed that?! The full trailer will hit the web on Thursday -- don't worry we'll post it as SOON as it becomes available...

In other news, Charlie Hunnam recently opened up about his choice to leave the film, and it sounds like he was super bummed to drop out! At a Television Critics Association event for Fox, the Sons of Anarchy said, "I was just really, really invested and wanted to work with [director] Sam [Taylor-Johnson] and play that character. I'm really, really curious."

Despite rumors that he clashed with producers over creative differences, he noted that he "couldn't do it because of the schedule," adding that it was "pretty heartbreaking" to pass on the role. So what does he have to say about Jamie Dornan? Hunnam joked that the star is "probably a lot better looking and a lot smoother .... I would've brought a certain rugged charm to [the role] ... but believe me -- he's going to do just fine."

This married lady is a skinny minnie!

Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson have already returned from their Mexican honeymoon, but the fashion mogul must have been reminiscing because she decided to share some more pics from their vacay on her Instagram account.

In one snap, the blonde beauty posed with her hand on her hip in their hotel room in a floral maxi dress, and we've never seen her waist look so tiny!

In another photo, the couple looked lovingly into the camera and the mother-of-two captioned it, "I love this man, our marriage, and everything in between." The pair also showed off their silly side by sticking their tongues out at what looks to be the hotel restaurant.

Maybe we're naive, but we think these two will last!

 

Jessica Alba Gets A Boost From Daughter Haven

Nothing like a little pick-me-up from a cute girl!

Jessica Alba seemed flustered over all the wonderful produce choices at the Beverly Hills Whole Foods, but after stacking a few bottles of rose wine in her cart and joking with daughter Haven, the multi-talented mom was back on track!

The gorgeous gal is well-rested after a mini-vacay with hubby Cash Warren and her girls in Cancun, Mexico and we caught the actress-entrepreneur out to dinner the other night with America Ferrera, grabbing sushi at Katsuya, Brentwood. Ahhh, the glamorous life!

 

Former King Of Hip-Hop Kanye West Says Drake Stole His Throne And He's Contemplating Whether He Wants It Back

Posted on Mon Jul 21st, 2014 5:57am PDT       By X17 Staff


So just who is Kanye West? Well, according to what he told GQ for the mag's August issue, he defines himself this way: "I am a black American male from Chicago who had my rehearsal dinner at Versailles and then got married in Florence with a view of the entire city."

And while he may be a king who just married his queen (Kim Kardashian, of course -- in case you've been living under a rock), he admits he's not at the top of his hip-hop game. Kanye admits to GQ Drake currently holds that spot: "Yeah. He got last summer. And I'd never given it up till last summer." Surprisingly, he's not sure he wants to take that top spot back: "It's a real question for me. Do I want to?"

Dang! If not the top of hip-hop, then what else? Well, fashion, of course. We know West, with his guest-designer gigs for Nike and A.P.C. fancies himself more an artist that a "singer." Apparently he'd also like to design amusement parks, according to the article, but we have a feeling we'll see more shearling-lined heels from Yeezy before we'll see a roller coaster.

But besides Kanye's top-ten must-have picks for every man's wardrobe (which includes a white Lanvin seersucker tuxedo jacket), West gave the mag a quote about his perfectly-Kanye, over-the-top, 45-minute wedding toast (to himself):

    "... What I talked about in it was the idea of celebrity, and celebrities being treated like blacks were in the '60s, having no rights, and the fact that people can slander your name. I said that in the toast. And I had to say this in a position where I, from the art world, am marrying Kim. And how we're going to fight to raise the respect level for celebrities so that my daughter can live a more normal life. She didn't choose to be a celebrity. But she is. So I'm going to fight to make sure she has a better life.


How very Kanye ...

 

Tori Spelling And Dean McDermott Work On Repairing Their Relationship

Posted on Sun Jul 20th, 2014 2:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Glad to see they're working things out!

On Saturday, the Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott saga took a happier turn as the couple looked amicable as they went shopping at Aahs gift store after a massage in Sherman Oaks. There was even some PDA!

The two have been working out their issues after the revelation of Dean's infidelity last year came to light, with their reality show True Tori adding fuel to the fire subsequently. The 47-year-old actor was even surprised to get another chance.

"I wake up every morning and I'm just so blessed that she's in my life still," he told E!'s Giuliana Rancic. "She's such a strong lady, and when this happened I was like, ‘Why don't you just leave me?'"

As it stands, Tori and Dean are on the mend and are even prepping for a new reality show, Tori & Dean: Cabin Fever.

Best of luck to them both!

She's ready to ride!

Paris Hilton has plenty of toys but none looked as cool as her Can-Am Spyder motorcycle she whipped around Hollywood last night.

The 33-year-old socialite turned DJ has been busy with the release of the video for her song Come Alive but showed she's still down for the cause as she joined Chris Brown during his celebrity kickball game yesterday. Always good to look good while you're doing good!

 

Salma Hayek Loves Holding Her Precious Puppy

She's a dog lover!

Salma Hayek had lots of love for her cute puppy as she made her way through LAX after arriving from Paris yesterday.

The 47-year-old actress, who still looks as stunning as ever, is an animal advocate and has confessed to owning quite the number of creatures.

Back in 2012, the Frida told Conan O'Brien that she has 20 chickens, nine dogs, five horses, five parrots, as well as rabbits, alpacas, turkeys, guinea pigs, fish and a cat. Wow!

We're sure her and hubby Francois-Henri Pinault must have their hands full with them!

 

Reese Witherspoon Gets In Some Serious Skin Care

Posted on Sun Jul 20th, 2014 12:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Reese Witherspoon likes to keep a youthful look as well as anyone else but instead of heading to certain doctors, she takes her epidermis to the dermatologist of the stars!

On Saturday, the 38-year-old actress dressed casually as she paid a visit to Dr. Harold Lancer in Beverly Hills for a little upkeep. Jennifer Lopez, Renee Zellweger, Denise Richards, and Victoria Beckham are just some of the A-list clientele the dermatologist keeps so it only makes sense the Legally Blonde star joins the club.

Reese is back in town after shooting her latest movie, Don't Mess With Texas, alongside Sofia Vergara in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Guess being down south can make a girl yearn for a little maintenance!
