Justin Bieber Weighs In On God And Forgiveness: "Imagine, Like, Someone Killing Your Son"

Posted on Fri May 9th, 2014 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff




Justin Bieber is featured in a video for Brandon Burke's #iPledge campaign, and though he only gives a brief interview after Burke's song, it's definitely the highlight of the four-and-a-half minute clip! The subject matter is obviously very serious and close to Bieber's heart, and he almost seems at a loss for words when trying to explain the concept of divine forgiveness.

“God loved the world so much he gave up his own son, right?” Justin says. “Imagine, like, someone killing your son. Like a bunch of people killing your [son]. These are your people, right? It’s like, how are you killing my son? That’s my son. It’s gonna be hard for you to forgive. God forgave everyone and they killed his son. That shows how much grace God has.”

We think it's great that the 20-year-old pop star is backing a campaign he believes in, especially if this keeps him out of trouble. The #iPledge campaign is trying to raise one million pledges for God, and over the past few months, it seems like Bieber has made more of an effort to get back to his Christian roots.

Back in 2011 he told Rolling Stone that he believes he has a relationship with Jesus and he talks to him regularly, adding that "he's the reason I'm here." While Bieber is covered in tattoos, he has several that have an obvious connection to his faith, including praying hands and a portrait of Jesus.

And back in February the Biebs attempted to get baptized at Hillsong Church in New York, but he was unable to find a pool in time. Apparently Bieber is a fan of Hillsong, and back in September he tweeted at Pastor Carl Lentz and wrote, "Amazing sermon at church this morning. Love you man. I broke down today."

 

Kylie Jenner Hides Under Her Teal Hair At The Airport

Kylie Jenner

From the colorful streaks in her hair to the insane manicure (seriously ... at what point are nails classified as claws?), Kylie Jenner wasn't exactly able to go undercover when X17 photographers snapped her at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday afternoon.

The 16-year-old reality TV starlet was returning from New York City, where she did a shoot for her and Kendall's line for Steve Madden's Madden Girl collection. From beauty products to shoes to clothes, it's pretty safe to say that Kylie and her 18-year-old sister are raking in so much money, they might be able to retire by the age of 25.

Kylie tweeted the photo below and wrote, "another sneak peak #kendallkyliemaddengirl," but uhh, we doubt anyone was looking at her shoes. The better question is, where were her pants?!

Lady Gaga Slams Katy Perry For Alleged Copycat Moves

Katy Perry kicked off her Prismatic World Tour in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Wednesday, and on Thursday Lady Gaga tweeted a jab at the singer when she wrote, "It looks like green hair and mechanical horses are the thing now."

During her show Katy rides a mechanical horse, and as you all know, the pop star recently dyed her hair bright green. Gaga apparently took offense to this as she recently colored her tresses green as well, and as for the horse reference, Gaga arrived at the AMAs last year on a giant mechanical steed. As far as we can tell, she hasn't used one as a prop onstage and uh, HOW many times has Gaga changed her hair over the years? From Kelly Osbourne to Kylie Jenner, at any given week any celeb could be accused of stealing her hair color, so we call BS on that.

And this isn't the first time Gaga has said something nasty about Katy! Two months ago Mother Monster performed at the Austin Convention Center and told the crowd, "I don't know what the f*ck all I have to do with Katy Perry … Our music is so completely different. I couldn't be more different, really."

After that happened, Gaga tried to sweep it under the rug when she told Ryan Seacrest their was no feud, adding, "I really like Katy Perry and I like her fans."

But is she telling the truth? Seems like she has it out for the "Roar" singer!

 

Justin Bieber Goes Panda Chic

Justin Bieber Four Seasons

Eat your heart out Selena Gomez!

Justin Bieber left his hotel in Beverly Hills today to hit the town, and the singer is really taking his love of black-and-white ensembles to a whole new level! He looks like a mix between an adorable hip hop panda bear and Buddy the elf!

The Biebs has been spending a lot of time with model Yovanna Ventura lately, and if the rumors are true, it's because he's trying to get under his ex-girlfriend's skin!

"Justin is just trying to make Selena jealous by hanging out with Yovanna. He knew it would get to her if he posted a pic with Kylie too. He’s just acting like a jerk because Selena majorly deflated his ego when they broke up. She told him she wanted nothing more to do with the song they were working on and he just flipped and said she was overreacting,” a source dished to Hollywood Life.

We wish the Canadian sensation would just date one of the Jenner girls, if only so that Kanye would be forced to hang out with him!

 

Jada Smith: There Is "Nothing Sexual" About Daughter Willow, 13, Posing In Bed With Shirtless Moises Arias, 20

Posted on Thu May 8th, 2014 3:29pm PDT       By X17 Staff



Um, WHAT?! This is just where this story didn't need to go!

On Wednesday night Jada Pinkett-Smith arrived at the airport, and when asked about her 13-year-old daughter posing in bed with 20-year-old actor Moises Arias, Jada flipped it around on the media and said we were all making too much of a fuss about it!

Jada told our photogs:

    "Here's the deal. There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it. You're acting like covert pedophiles and that's not cool."


Well, when we polled our X17 readers yesterday, 57% of you thought the photo was wildly inappropriate, 24% of you said it's not a big deal, and 17% of you say it's pretty bad but think there could be an explanation.

Sure, Jada says there's nothing sexual about this, but we say the proof is in the picture, and this is still VERY inappropriate:

Poll

How inappropriate do you think this picture of Willow and Moises is?
How inappropriate do you think this picture of Willow and Moises is?
So inappropriate! Where the heck are her parents?!
It's pretty bad, but maybe there's some sort of explanation behind this?
So not a big deal! Stop making a fuss out of this...

 

Dean McDermott Gets A Break From Tori Spelling And Gets His Nails Did

Dean McDermott gas Macy's Nail Elegance

Caught ya!

Our cameras caught secret bad boy Dean McDermott get pampered at Nail Elegance in Tarzana, Calif., on Thursday afternoon. The philandering reality star look less than pleased to be photographed looking less than stellar.

Dressed casual in jeans and a gray t-shirt, the father of four first stopped at the mall before he got his talons worked on at the nail salon. We wonder if Tori knows where he is -- if we were here we wouldn't let that cheater our of our site!

The twosome has been working hard at their marriage after scandal broke that Dean had cheated on his longtime love, even though some critics are saying that the duo have been fabricating the drama just for their TV show True Tori. But we think no one would put themselves through this kind of criticism just for ratings.

On a recent episode, the 47-year-old said, "I have a brain that wants to kill me. I have a brain that wants me dead. That's how the alcoholic mind works and thinks. It thinks 'I'll have a couple cocktails, do a couple lines and shut it down after three lines. You can do that Dean.' But it just never works out that way."

Well Dean may have a brain that wants him dead, but he has toes that want a pedicure!

 

Leggy Blake Lively Is On Serious Winning Streak With Her Style

Blake Lively multi colored coat heels

From the Met Gala to the Chime for Change event the other night, Blake Lively has been killing it on the red carpet this week -- and her street style is pretty perfect too!

On Wednesday the 26-year-old starlet stepped out in New York City, and she showed off her lovely legs in a multicolored coat and pumps. While we looooooved her Gucci gown at the Met on Monday, Ryan Reynolds' wifey revealed that she still gets self-conscious when she has cameras in her face.

"I hide behind [my hair] a bit because red carpets can be intimidating," she explained. "And when my hair is in my face, I feel less exposed. I am so not confident on the red carpet. I just sit there thinking, 'What would Gisele do?' It is such a sensory overload." Funny, seeing as Blake and Gis both dated Leonardo DiCaprio, you'd think the former Gossip Girl starlet might be intimidate by her, but apparently that's not the case and she's got plenty of love!

Blake continued, "I've seen Solange [Knowles] perform in front of 90,000 people and I saw her [at the Met Gala] and was thinking, 'Oh, why do we do this? This red carpet is always so scary.' I saw her take a deep breath and put her performance face on, and you really have to do that. I'm not comfortable as me standing in front of 500 photographers, so I have to go somewhere else and pretend that I'm the confident person you hopefully expect me to be."

Whatever! We think she's doing a fine job!

 

Jennifer Lawrence Says: "I'm Way Too Annoying" On The Red Carpet, I "Need to Calm the F*ck Down"

jennifer-lawrence-marie-claire-cover-050814.jpgJennifer Lawrence is Jennifer Lawrence's biggest critic.

The 23-year-old is all to aware of the fleeting power of stardom. In a new interview with Marie Claire, the Hunger Games actress got candid on her overwhelming fame. "Nobody can stay beloved forever … I never believed it, the whole time. I was like, just wait: People are going to get sick of me. My picture is everywhere, my interviews are everywhere."


"I'm way too annoying because I get on red carpets and I'm really hyper, most likely because I've been drinking, and I can't not photo-bomb somebody if it's a good opportunity,"
the Kentucky native admitted. "But it's something I always tell myself: 'You need to calm the f*ck down. You don't want to constantly be a GIF.'"

J.Law might find her red-carpet ways to be "annoying" -- but we find her devil-may-care attitude a breath of fresh air!

On the colorful cover shot by Jan Welters, the Oscar winner smolders with an intense look. J. Law dons a magenta and kelly green dress from Christian Dior's Fall 2014 collection.

In another pic, the X Men: Days of Future Past star donned a bold tailored Dior coat and paired the look off with white Michael Kors sneakers.

In the interview, the actress also dished about her relationship with her X Men co-star and boyfriend Nicholas Hoult.

"When we’re busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other," she said. "Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn’t text back or call. Life’s super-busy."

As for living in different cities, Lawrence added, "Obviously you know what they’re doing, and you trust them. We’re so young that it would almost be like if we lived in the same city, what would happen? We’d be living together. At least this way he’s in the same boat as I am: We can go out and have our own lives and know that we have each other."

Marie Claire's June issue hits newsstands on May 20th.
