Report: Kanye West Settles Battery Case With Teenager For More Than $250,000

Kanye West has reportedly settled with the 18-year-old man he beat up at a chiropractor's office earlier this month for a sum of more than $250,000, reports TMZ.

The District Attorney has not yet decided whether to charge the rapper with battery, but since the alleged victim has agreed to the civil settlement and won't be moving forward with a criminal prosecution, the chances of West actually getting charged with anything are pretty slim.

West allegedly attacked the young man at Hill Chiropractic in Beverly Hills, and after the incident, the teen was photographed heading to the hospital for reported head injuries. The victim attempted to chat with West's fiance Kim Kardashian by calling photographers the N-word, but when the reality star scolded him for his language, he turned on her and screamed, "F*ck you b*tch. Just trying to help you. Shut up n****r lover, stupid sl*t." An irate Kardashian then called West, who arrived on the scene shortly thereafter, ran into the chiropractor's office and punched the kid in the face.

Though West snuck out the back of the building before talking to police, it sounds like he gave them a statement at some point, because that hasn't been mentioned since they initially confirmed his involvement. Given that the victim allegedly hurled a series of racial insults at Kanye and Kim during the incident, his chances of winning over a jury were also pretty slim, so it sounds like this was a good deal for him.

West's lawyer Shawn Holley has yet to make a formal statement about the case, but TMZ reports that during negotiations the victim's settlement demands "soared to the upper 6 figures." However, West is also facing charges from another incident over the summer in which he assaulted a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport...

 Justin Bieber moving trucks arrest

What lucky neighbors will he torture next?!

Justin Bieber is movin' on out ... of his Calabasas mega-mansion. And X17online can report exclusively, the pop star had already made up his mind to ditch his Valley digs BEFORE he headed to Miami, where he ... well, you know.

The Biebs has spent the last couple days in Panama with new gal pal Chantel Jeffries after his arrest on suspicion of DUI in Miami last week. And X17online is letting you know that with JB returns to LA, he'll likely already be in a new home!

X17 photographers spotted moving trucks at Justin's Calabasas home early last week, hauling the pop star's belongings to a new crib -- before his DUI arrest in Miami!

It's no wonder The Biebs wants to relocate after the egging incident and multiple other confrontations with residents of his posh gated community, but he better make it a priority to find a pad that's a little more secluded, so as to avoid any more lawsuits!

What's going to happen to JB's housemate Lil Za? After his arrest for drug possession earlier this month, we're going to guess the "Baby" crooner's management team is making sure the aspiring rapper finds another place to live.

Home owners everywhere better pray the Canadian sensation doesn't end up in their 'hood!

Kate Hudson Slips Into A Sexy Outfit To Promote Wish I Was Here

Kate Hudson took a page from the fashion book of Kate Moss!

Hudson made an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show on Tuesday, and the 34-year-old actress embraced her inner rocker chick with a pair of stiletto boots, coated skinnies and a black fur jacket. Hudson is currently promoting her new film Wish I Was Here, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last weekend.

Hudson plays Zach Braff's wife in the film (which he also directs), and when asked what drew her to the project she told The Hollywood Reporter, "We've been wanting to work on something together for a little bit. The script hit me on so many levels, just in terms of relatability to my own family, to my own struggle with my family at times."

And speaking of family, Hudson added during her appearance on Live With Kelly & Michael that she has no plans to walk down the aisle with Muse rocker Matthew Bellamy. "I'm planning nothing right now," she replied when Michael Strahan asked about wedding bells. "I'm so busy, we've been so busy and it's been great. I come from an unconventional family -- they're not married, my parents aren't married. So there's a part of me that goes, if I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right. And I'm going to take the time to really plan it right ... And it's a lot. Planning a wedding is a lot! I mean, I did a movie about planning a wedding and that was a lot, let alone actually planning a wedding! So, no. Not anytime soon, no."

Gwen Stefani pregnant leather sunglasses blonde singer

Even when she's crazy pregnant Gwen Stefani manages to look sexy! When people say "I don't know how she does it," the "she" they must be referring to the No Doubt frontwoman/designer/wife/soon-to-be mom of three -- because we have no clue how she does it and manages to look so fabulous whilst doing it!

Outfitted in leather leggings, Gwen layered a black dress over the the rockin' pants. The trend setter paired the pieces with a slim fitting denim jacket and suede ankle boots. This woman could not look bad if she tried!

After months of keeping mum, the songstress recently confirmed her pregnancy and revealed she was having a boy via Instagram account. Two weeks ago, Gavin Rossdale's 44-year-old wife wrote, "I was ready to hand over the crown. but I guess I am still queen of the house. #itsaboy #surroundedbyboys."

We had our fingers crossed she'd have a girl -- but we know baby boy Rossdale is going to be one well dressed little guy!

Khloe Kardashian raiders lamar odom divorce sunglasses sweat pants gym reality tv

Well, there's lots of things we love about Khloe Kardashian, but when she's rocking skintight spandex at the gym, we can't help but stare at her famous fanny!

Khloe busted her butt working out on Tuesday afternoon, and it seems like this has been the number one way for her to relieve stress over the last few months. And now that Kaley Cuoco has reportedly bought the reality star's Tarzana home, it looks like she has one less thing to worry about!

On the most recent of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe admitted that she was basically homeless because she couldn't stand being in the home she once shared with Lamar Odom alone together. "I’ve basically thrown all my bare necessities into some suitcases and I’m kind of living out of my car right now," she said. Kaley Cuoco and hubby Ryan Sweeting reportedly dropped $5.5 million for the mansion, which Khloe and Odom shared for several years.

 

Selena Gomez Isn't Winning Justin Bieber Back With This Outfit

On Tuesday Selena Gomez and a pal stepped out in Encino to grab coffee, and we know the singer has a hot bod, but this outfit is doing nothing for her! From the color of the pants to the granny panties to the overall fit ... yikes!

With the coverage that Justin Bieber and his new lady friend Chantel Jeffries have been getting in Panama, we have to wonder if Selena was trying to sex it up in an attempt to get her man's attention...

Selena hasn't commented on her ex-boyfriend's recent D.U.I. bust, but we're guessing she's on the same team as Scooter Braun and everyone else who thinks the 19-year-old pop star needs to check in to rehab.

 

Justin Bieber To Be Arraigned On Valentine's Day For D.U.I. Charges

Justin Bieber's legal team will face Miami-Dade Judge William Altfield in the County Criminal Division on February 14 on charges of DUI, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license. Happy Valentine's Day!

However, "Justin doesn't have to be there," Ed Griffith, a Miami state attorney's office spokesman, said in a statement. "He will plead [not] guilty and the process will begin." Bieber is represented by Roy Black, who has yet to comment on his client's case.

Bieber was arrested for driving under the influence last Thursday when Miami Beach police busted him for speeding on a residential street just after 4am. Bieber admitted to police that he had been drinking, smoking pot and taking prescription medication.

Bieber is currently in Panama with current flame Chantel Jeffries and his entourage, and though his manager Scooter Braun and mentor Usher have attempted to get him back to the states and in a rehab facility, the 19-year-old pop star has yet to agree to seek treatment. Braun and Usher flew to Panama a few days ago, and on Monday Bieber was reportedly shooting footage for a new music video on the beach.

 

Vin Diesel Posts Awkward Video Of Himself Lip Syncing And Dancing To Katy Perry And Beyonce

Posted on Tue Jan 28th, 2014 11:35am PDT       By X17 Staff





Drunk in love is one thing -- but umm is Vin Diesel drunk and Facebooking?

Taking a page from the Taylor Swift School of Dance, the action star showed off his moves when he posted a sort of bizarre, sort of hilarious, all sorts of awkward 7-minute, 29-second long video on his Facebook page of himself dancing and lip syncing and to both Katy Perry's hit "Dark Horse" and Beyonce's "Drunk in Love." Who knew he was such a fan of pop divas?!

There's over seven minutes of Vin posing and moving for the camera -- which means this is pretty much the most epic selfie of all time!

Vin looks totally sober -- and yet we are perplexed by both his "moves" and his desire to share this awkward clip with millions upon millions of people. But at least we get to see some of 46-year-old's patented moves. Our personal favorites are: "The Awkward Hunched Over Running Man," "The Awkward Pumping Up the Basketball," "The Awkward Robot Surfboard," "The Awkward Snip Snap, Double Clap," "The Awkward White Guy Head Bop," "The Awkward White Guy Sway," "The Awkward Twirl to You Fall Over," "The Awkward Lick the Camera," "The Awkward Picking Up the Loose Change" and the "OHMYGOD VIN DIESEL STOP DANCING AROUND BY YOURSELF, IT'S REALLY AWKWARD AND YOU ARE MAKING US UNCOMFORTABLE."

Along with the dance-tastic post, Vin wrote the caption, "You know I love music ..." The only thing it looks like buff star loves more than music is videos of himself dancing to music!

Midway through the vid, the "Fast and the Furious" star stops his dance party for one to share a heartfelt message with his 63 million Facebook fans: "Guys, I'm excited, I'm happy. Universal just called me and said Riddick is number one on the DVD charts." He continued, "It's a win for all of us. Really really want to thank you so much…" adding, "Of course Universal said they want to develop the next one." Way to multi-task! We applaud Vin's ability to combine lip syncing and self-promotion together to make one killer vid!

Vinny, while we love a free spirit, we aren't sure that lip syncing to Beyonce and Katy Perry probably the best way to squash those gay rumors -- but whatever your floats your boat! It definitely looks like you are having fun!
