R. Kelly's 14-year-old transgender son Jay made the news last week when he revealed that he was no longer going by his birth name Jaya and that he now identifies as a "transguy," but it seems as though his famous father is just brushing this off.

During an interview with Chicago's WCGI radio station, the R&B singer got defensive and said, "You don't really wanna open it up by saying that my daughter is becoming my son. Because if that were true..." The interviewer then interrupted the singer and explained that it was all over the web (and came directly from Jay), to which R. Kelly replied, "Don't even give the blogs that kind of credit. You know what I'm saying? Real talk. But as far as that is concerned. Always believe what you see with your own eyes that is. Always believe what you see. That is the best way to go about this business. And I've heard a lot of things about a lot of people and it was never true. You gotta know there's a back story. There's a background. That's why you can't judge nobody."

Hmm, he's really not listening, is he? Kelly then switched the subject and said, "You save money so your kids can go to college - no matter what they are or who they are. They're your kids, you gotta support them. I have three lovely, lovely kids that I am in love with and that's in love with me."

Earlier this month Jay replied to a number of questions on his Ask.fm profile and said that though he was born a girl, he has identified as a boy since he was "6 or 7." (Jay lives with his mother Andrea Kelly, who divorced the singer in 2009 after almost 13 years of marriage.) "My mom was like, "Baby, you know I love you if you were bi, gay, lesbian, you name it and I would still love you so much,'" Jay wrote. "She was very proud of me, I was like, 'Thank you mom for accepting the fact that I'm a transgender.' And same with my sister, she told me that she was proud of me, and respects me by calling me handsome and calling me her little brother now, and I love her for that, so you know it was great for me."

He added that he will have to wait several years, but he will go through with gender reassignment surgery. "I believe I am a boy and want surgery, and the medication to help me (be) who I was supposed to be," he added. At the age of 11, "I would look up like boy changes to girl, and girl changes to boy, and im like wow, theres people who feel EXACTLY the way i feel and then i knew like thats what transgender is," he continued.

And get this -- it sounds like he hasn't even spoken to his father about this! Noting that his sister is his best friend, Jay said, "I absolutely love my mother... and yea my dad has not reached out."

Like mother, like daughter!

Lourdes Leon is going to college! Madonna's daughter with Carlos Leon will be attending the University of Michigan as a Freshman this coming fall.

The talented teen has enrolled as a student in the undergraduate music, theatre, and dance program, in pursuit of a bachelor's degree in fine arts in musical theatre.

Madge posted a pic on her Instagram from the outside of the University of Michigan's bookstore,

"I think I'll stop in here!" Madonna captioned the photo. "#unapologeticbitch"

In November 2013, the popstar was spotted touring the UMich campus with Lourdes. Back in 2012, the 50-year-old said, "I want my daughter to go to school there. I keep telling her, Ann Arbor is an awesome place."

The Grammy winner attended the University of Michigan in the '70s on a dance scholarship, but left before graduating for NYC to pursue a career in entertainment.

Hopefully, Lola can fulfill her dreams!

On Tuesday Jonah Hill cruised around West Hollywood, and we couldn't help but notice that the 30-year-old star was looking a little bit fuller figured. The actor famously shed 40 pounds back in 2011 after he appeared in Moneyball opposite Brad Pitt, but by 2012 he had gained most of it back.

Maybe he should get back on the low-carb, high-protein diet he tried a few years ago? Then again, maybe not! Last year a report came out that the food plan had left him with rancid breath, and pals had even nicknamed him "meat mouth" because of it!

“Jonah has basically cut out carbs to keep his weight down, and the staple of his diet is meat,” an insider told the National Enquirer. “To add flavor, he piles on garlic and onions, so his breath is toxic! He smells like a big garlic beef ball!” Oh dear.

But we know of at least one person who loves him just the way he is -- his 22 Jump Street co-star Channing Tatum! Tatum recently told Entertainment Weekly that “If I wasn’t with my wife and Jonah had lady parts, I would probably ask him out.”

Really?

She's finally making it to the altar!

Jessica Simpson will wed fiancé Eric Johnson at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara over Fourth of July weekend, In Touch reports.

"Jessica wants it to be the hugest, grandest event of the year. She’s calling it a ‘supersized wedding!” a pal tells the mag.

Guests will enjoy a barbecue menu and a fireworks display at the beautiful wine ranch.

As for the dress? The blonde beauty will walk down the aisle in a custom pale pink Marchesa gown!

We bet children Maxwell and Ace will have a special role in the ceremony!

Protective mama bear!

Kim Kardashian caught a flight to NYC at LAX last night, and while the reality star is usually tolerant of photographers, this time she got a little temperamental because she was afraid all the chatter would wake her daughter Nori!

"Could you guys just not say anything? My daughter's sleeping," she told photographers as she pulled her baby carriage out of the SUV she arrived in.

We never thought we'd see the day Kimmy K cared more about her child than media attention!

On Tuesday evening Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross stepped out in New York City for a date, and we still can't believe these two are getting ready to walk down the aisle later this summer!

As expected, Ash is planning a bohemian-style wedding, which will take place at Diana Ross’ Greenwich, Connecticut estate on August 31, and get this -- the legendary singer is set to perform at the couple's nuptials, according to E! News.

So how excited is Evan about marrying his sweetheart of nearly one year? "Honestly, we could go and get married right now, wherever," he said at SXSW earlier this spring. "We just want to be married. We're in love. This is the most incredible time I could ever think of in my life and I'm young, but the same time, I've lived a different life than most and I can't think of a happier moment."

Thankfully she changed out of her too-tight pants from earlier in the day before she hopped on her flight ... we can't imagine how uncomfortable that would have been!

On Tuesday evening Khloe Kardashian arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, and she was headed back to the Hamptons to film her reality spin-off show. While she was in a pretty good mood at LAX, there's a new report out claiming she's become a bit of a diva on set. Say what?!

Ever since filming began, "Khloe has been showing up late for call times, and has offered no explanation for the delay," according to Radar Online. "The crew has been left in the lurch because they can't get any work done until Khloe decides to show up. This is very atypical of Khloe, who previously would often turn up early for shooting!"

The source added, "Khloe has been complaining about being in the Hamptons, and doesn't understand why the locals are so angry about their arrival in town. She is acting like a real diva, and says the Hamptons should be lucky to have her in town, as it's a boost to the local economy."

Hmm, do you believe this?!

Solange Knowles, 28, and her boyfriend of five years, Alan Ferguson, 51, reportedly got engaged on Monday June 23, according to MediaTakeOut. Solange celebrated her 28th birthday yesterday evening, so clearly her week is off to a great start!

The singer posted this photo with the caption, "Today couldn't have been more perfect. I couldn't have smiled harder. Thank you for all of your lovely and wonderful wishes. They warmed my heart and I simply feel grateful for all of the love."

Solange was previously married to Daniel Smith from 2004 to 2007, and the couple have a 9-year-old son Julez together.

Congrats! Wonder if Jay Z will be sending them a gift basket?
