This again?

Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry were reportedly all kinds of cozy at the Los Angeles after party for his new movie, The Rover, and this comes on the heels of rumors that the pop star recently split from DJ Diplo. Hmm....

The NY Post reports that Perry "sneaked into a Loft & Bear vodka-sponsored bash at Whiskey Blue at the W through the kitchen just before midnight and headed for a patio," and later on Rob joined her! “They were heavily flirting," an eyewitness added. "At one point, Robert sauntered to the bar with a pal and was heard saying, ‘She’s so f*cking hot,’ nodding in Katy’s direction.”

Sure she's hot, but these two have been friends for ages, and last fall Katy told Elle UK that their relationship is strictly platonic, citing her flatulence as proof. "Okay, so here's the proof there was never anything going on with me and Robert Pattinson," she said. "I fart in front of him, properly fart. And I never, ever fart in front of a man I am dating. That's a rule."

Always a bridesmaid but never a bride? Seeing as Eva Longoria has already been married twice, that's not totally true...

Over the weekend Eva and her hunky beau Jose Antonio Baston attended a gal pal's wedding in Los Angeles, and the Mexican media mogul couldn't keep his hands off of his lady! The two have only been dating for about 8 months, so we doubt they'll be walking down the aisle anytime soon, and Eva recently revealed that she's not looking to start a family either.

When asked about having kids, the actress recently told People magazine, "It's just not in my future."

 

Kate Major Pregnant With Her Second Child With Michael Lohan ... In Jail!

You can't even make this stuff up...

Kate Major is currently in jail due to a DUI conviction that resulted in a probation violation, but she's trying to get out of the slammer early because she's three months pregnant with her second child with Michael Lohan!

A source told the UK's Mirror Online, "She is considered a high risk pregnancy because of her history of seizures and she is not receiving the proper medication in jail." A hearing has been scheduled on Tuesday to negotiate an early release for the former celeb reporter.

A Florida judge revoked Major's probation (which stemmed from her 2012 assault on a police officer) after she allegedly assaulted Lohan and fled the scene back in March. Major, who was intoxicated (she reportedly blew a 0.243 in a Breathalyzer test), then crashed her car into some nearby bushes and police took her into custody and booked her for DUI.

The couple already have 16-month-old son together, who Lohan currently has sole custody of.

 

BREAKING NEWS - Radio Legend Casey Kasem Passes Away At Age 82

Legendary radio personality Casey Kasem has passed away at the age of 82. His daughter Kerri announced his pasing on Facebook this morning, saying, "Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken."

Kasem is best known for being a radio host of American Top 40, American Top 20 and American Top 10 from 1970 until his retirement in 2009. The 82-year-old also voiced Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the beloved cartoon, Scooby-Doo.

Kasem retired from AT20 and AT10 on July 4, 2009; both shows ended on that day. In 2009, Kasem also retired from voicing Shaggy in 2009 after 40 years.

Kasem, whose birth name is Kemal Amin Kasem, was born on April 27, 1932 in Detroit, Michigan. Kasem was born to Lebanese immigrant parents, who worked as grocers. Kasem graduated Northwestern High School in Detroit and went on to Wayne State University.

Kasem began his TV career hosting Shebang, a weekly dance show that aired afternoons on Los Angeles station, KTLA, in the mid to late 1960s.

Kasem then went on to become a prominent voice actor. Other than Shaggy, he voiced the role of Robin in the Batman cartoons, three episodes of Sesame Street, voiced the drummer Groove from The Cattanooga Cats (1969), Alexander Cabot III from Josie and the Pussycats (1970) and Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space (1972), Merry from The Return of the King (1980) and many more roles.

Kasem was married to Linda Myers from 1972 to 1979. The couple had three children together -- Mike, Julie, and Kerri Kasem. Since 1980, Kasem has been married to actress Jean Kasem; they have one child, Liberty Jean Kasem.

Prior to his death, Casey Kasem was in critical condition in a Washington hospital and had not received food or fluids since Friday.

His daughter, Kerri Kasem wrote on her Facebook on Wednesday, "For people who do not understand the natural dying process: Giving food and water to a dying body creates pain and further suffering. The body does not want or require food or water anymore in the dying process. My father can no longer digest foods and fluids fill his lungs up and will suffocate him. My Dad IS on pain meds."

A judge ruled on Wednesday that Kasem's daughter had the authority to stop feeding and giving water to the ailing octogenarian. On Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy reversed a ruling from two days earlier that allowed Kasem to receive food, fluids and certain medications until the time when a court-appointed attorney could meet with the former radio host and his doctors and report back to the court.

The judge reviewed documents on Wednesday and concluded that the star would be forced to endure prolonged pain if he was additionally given food and fluids. Attorney Troy Martin, who represents Kasem's daughter Kerri, gave the information to Murphy during an emergency hearing.

However, Kasey's wife has had some issues with the ruling. "It's just flat-out wrong," said Steve Haney, an attorney for Kasem's wife of 34 years, Jean. Jean pleaded for the judge to restore food and fluids to her husband, who has a form of dementia. Following the ruling, Mrs. Kasem fled the courtroom after Murphy issued his ruling.

Kerri Kasem and stepmother Jean have been battling in court since May, when Kasem went missing in Oregon, over the icon's care. The judge ruled that Jean should no longer have authority over deacons and Kerri Kasem should have temporary authority to make medical decisions for her father.

 

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Return From London With Their Kids

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie LAX

Well, one third of their kids, anyway!

On Saturday afternoon Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie returned from London with Zahara and Maddox, where the actress was serving as the co-host of the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict this past week.

Jolie, who is a special envoy of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), was in the UK for four days for the conference, working with British Foreign Secretary William Hague to raise awareness over sexual violence in war zones. "It is a myth that rape is an inevitable part of conflict. It is a weapon of war aimed at civilians .. done to torture and humiliate people and often to very young children," Jolie said. "We need to see real commitment and go after the worst perpetrators, to fund proper protection for vulnerable people, and to step in to help the worst-affected countries."


 

Kelly Clarkson Gives Birth To A Baby Girl

Kelly Clarkson and husband Brandon Blackstock welcomed a baby daughter on Thursday.

"Our baby girl River Rose Blackstock arrived on June 12th!" Clarkson tweeted on Saturday, June 14. "Thank you everyone for all of your well wishes! Brandon and I are on cloud 9!! :)"

Clarkson and Blackstock got married in October 2013, and the following month they confirmed that they were expecting their first child together. Prior to that, the American Idol alum was very open about wanting to expand their family. (Blackstock has two children from his previous marriage.)

"More than anything, next I want a baby. Lots of them!" she told Us Weekly last fall. "My record label is freaking out because all I can talk about now are babies. We're really excited and want to get our family started." Clarkson added in an interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show back in October, "I want two kids. Two more, that is. I've already got two!"

 

Lana Del Rey Comes Across As Ungrateful And Depressed In Strange New Interview

Posted on Sat Jun 14th, 2014 9:55am PDT       By X17 Staff

Summertime sadness, much?

Lana Del Rey recently chatted with The Guardian UK, and rather than expressing gratitude towards her fans and discussing her new album, she went to the dark side when talking about the late Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain, both of whom died when they were Lana's age.

"I wish I was dead already. I don't know. Ummm, yeah," the 27-year-old singer told writer Tim Jonze. Jonze told her not to say that, but she countered, "But I do. I don't want to have to keep doing this. But I am. That's just how I feel. If it wasn't that way, then I wouldn't say it. I would be scared if I knew [death] was coming, but…" And she says it's about "everything," not just her music. Umm, should we be preparing an obit for her? Or arranging for someone to smack some sense into her?

Lana grew up in Lake Placid, New York as Elizabeth Grant, and though her father is a millionaire and it sounds like she had a pretty privileged upbringing, she doesn't seem grateful for that either. Lana said that when her family comes on the road with her, they're in awe of her lifestyle, but she's clearly not. "[They say], 'Wow, your life is just like a movie! And I'm like, 'Yeah, a really f*cked-up movie.'"

When asked about her rise to fame, she added, "I never felt any of the enjoyment. It was all bad, all of it." So what does she think about other pop stars getting slammed by the media? "Well maybe those people are true provocateurs," she says of Miley Cyrus, Lily Allen and Lady Gaga. "But I'm really not and never have been. I don't think there's any shock value in my stuff – well, maybe the odd disconcerting lyric – but I think other people probably deserve the criticism, because they're eliciting it."

Ummm ... we love her music, but this interview makes us want to boycott her entirely...

On Friday LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian took a stroll in Santa Monica, and the happy couple looked like they didn't have a care in the world when X17 photographers snapped their photo.

Maybe one reason they're so chipper is because they're excited about the premiere of their new reality TV show, LeAnn & Eddie? Earlier this week the first teaser for the series hit the web, and as expected, there were quite a few digs at Eddie's ex-wife, Brandi Glanville. The show premieres on July 17, so we're curious as to how much the couple plan on trash-talking Brandi -- and how she reacts!

Meanwhile, the Real Housewives hottie showed off her skinny legs while grabbing a bite to eat at Del Taco:
