He put a ring on it! Jennifer Lawrence is engaged to boyfriend of seven months Cooke Maroney.

Lawrence and Maroney, an art dealer, started dating last summer when their relationship was outed as they were spotted in Paris and New York, holding hands and looking lovey dovey. The pair have been quite about their romance, but a source told Us Weekly last month, "They definitely appear to be in it for the long haul," noting the couple had moved in together. "Cooke plays very coy when speaking about her to his friends and colleagues. He is clearly smitten about her," the source said.

Lawrence was last linked the director Darren Aronofsky, to whom she seemed to be engaged at one point during their year-long relationship that ended in 2017.

 

Report: Ben Affleck And Lindsay Shookus Are Seeing Each Other Again!

Posted on Tue Feb 5th, 2019 12:03pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Ben Affleck might actually be making a good decision this time! Not sure we can say the same for Lindsay Shookus ...

The former couple are back ON, according to a Us Weeklynew report. "They’ve been talking and have seen each other again. Ben is in a much better place health-wise and is a lot happier," the source tells the mag. And apparently it was Lindsay who reached out the Ben!

Affleck, 46, and the SNL producer Shookus, 38, broke up in August, right before Ben headed to rehab.

Lindsay even packed up and moved out to LA briefly but returned to New York full time when things didn't work out. In fact, Us Weekly's source says, "They will keep talking and see what happens. It wouldn’t be surprising if they got back together, but with the distance and living on different coasts it’s difficult."

We'll see, indeed! Maybe that's why Ben had a spring in his step this morning ...

This baby will have plenty of Housewives ready to babysit him. Congrats, Andy!

 

Demi Lovato Quits Twitter After Controversial Comments About 21 Savage

Posted on Mon Feb 4th, 2019 10:37am PDT       By X17 Staff


How did THIS happen?

This is the most benign thing ever to cause someone to leave social media, leaving us to believe trolling has gotten WAY outta control. Demi Lovato was live-Tweeting during the Super Bowl and commenting on how boring it was -- which is what we were ALL thinking -- and posted: "So far 21 savage memes have been my favorite part of the Super Bowl." No biggie, right?

Well fans disagreed! Rapper 21 Savage was arrested for overstaying his visa Sunday and when news broke, people were shocked to learn their favorite Atlanta "native" is actually a British citizen.

Well Demi posted to her Instagram story to explain that this is the meme to which she was referring ...


Pretty harmless, right? Well Savage fans didn't think so. Some responded with scathing critiques like: "Go shoot some more heroine [sic] Demi. She’s a hypocrite let’s pull out the heroin memes and see if this bitch doesn’t get emotional." Rapper Wale Tweeted: "Why is somebody freedom funny … I don’t get the joke. A lot of people were sending you love, light, prayers etc. When people were making jokes about u at a rough time. A lot of people. Bless up."

Demi responded: "Wasn’t laughing at anyone getting deported. I know that’s not a joke.. not have I EVER laughed at that. The meme I posted/was talking about was of him being writing with a feather pen. Sorry if I offended anyone. But it’s no excuse to laugh at someone’s addiction let alone their OD.” She went on: "Lastly, I wasn’t making fun on [sic] anything having to do with deportation or even anything against him. I was laughing at who the f—k knew 21 was British? Literally no one. That’s it. It doesn’t go deeper than that. I’m sorry if I upset people truly."

Has hating gone too far, people? Is finger-pointing being cloaked as political correctness or is Demi really at fault?

Jealous much?!



 

Investigation Into Hate Crime On Empire Star Jussie Smollett Continues

Posted on Mon Feb 4th, 2019 8:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Empire actor Jussie Smollett, who was the victim of a hate crime in Chicago last week which saw him beaten, the subject of a racist verbal attack that ended in a noose being tied around his neck and a trip to the ER, gave a performance at LA's Troubadour club Saturday night and tons of fans showed up to support him

As Chicago police continue their investigation into the hate crime, Smollett took the opportunity of being on stage with fans and reporters listening, to make a statement. He told the crowd: "There has been a lot of stuff said about me that’s absolutely not true. I’m sure my lawyer’s sitting up there like, ‘No, Jussie, no! No! Shut the f*** up and sing! I was bruised but my ribs were not cracked; they were not broken. I went to the doctor immediately. . . . I was not hospitalized. Both my doctors in L.A. and Chicago cleared me to perform, but said to take care, obviously. And above all: I fought the f*** back."

Some claim Jussie's story has changed over the brief course of the investigation and have been critical of some details they say are inconsistencies. Immediately after the attack reports said Smollett suffered broken ribs, which the actor now says isn't true. He told the Troubadour audience he went to the ER but was never diagnosed with broken ribs. Others criticize details like his Subway sandwich being intact following the attack and the claim that his cell phone was knocked to the ground but proof that he returned to his hotel with his cell phone intact.

Police reportedly have security camera video of Smollett returning to his hotel after the attack ... so, it seems, more will be revealed in this case soon!

 

Khloe Kardashian Posts About Her "Soulmate" Amid Difficult Time With Tristan Thompson

Posted on Mon Feb 4th, 2019 6:36am PDT       By X17 Staff


Khloe Kardashian is getting DEEP about her feeling for Tristan Thompson or whomever the "right" man for her is -- and it sure as hell doesn't seem to be Tristan!

The Good American denim mogul quoted Bianca Sparacino on her Instagram story in a quote which read: “A soulmate isn’t someone who completes you. No, a soulmate is someone who inspires you to complete yourself. A soulmate is someone who loves you with so much conviction, and so much heart, that it is nearly impossible to doubt just how capable you are of becoming exactly who you have always wanted to be."

Poor Khloe sounds like she's trying to make something work with Tristan that just isn't gonna work ... but they DO have daughter True together. What do YOU think -- should they be lifemates?
