We're glad to see that Paris is on the road to recovery!

Despite having a rough year, Paris Jackson was all smiles when she posted a photo with her mother, Debbie Rowe, while vacationing with her family in Hawaii.

Along with the Instagram photo, the 15-year-old wrote the caption, "Momma : ).'' In the pic -- the two both look healthy and happy.

The media has caught very few glimpses at Paris after her June suicide attempt and subsequent rehabilitation.

While taking time off from her $14,000-per-month therapeutic private school in Utah, the King of Pop's middle child spent Christmas in Hawaii along with her brothers Prince and Blanket, as well as her cousins. And it appears as though her biological mom accompanied her children to the island.

Paris, who is wearing a black and white sweater and choker necklace, and Debbie, who is pictured in an oatmeal-colored sweater, spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day together, according to Radar Online. The two have spent significant time together during Paris’ break from school," reported the media outlet.

We love hearing that Paris is doing well!

LeAnn Rimes, Eddie Cibrian and his two sons, Mason and Jake, jetted out of LAX on Monday morning, and this was after LeAnn squeaked in an early morning workout and posted a selfie of her hot bod. Whew!

Last night LeAnn tweeted, "Rolling 9 bags deep tmrw Snowboarding vacay w/ kiddos, there’s a lot of stuff 2 pack Packing for warm weather is A LOT less cumbersome. Gonna try to sleep. We’ve got an early morning & 2 sick little boys to get up & going. Hopefully, they’ll feel better tmrw. Tweet Dreams.”

Poor little guys! Hopefully they don't get even sicker in the cold! We're sure Jake and Mason's mom Brandy Glanville will have something to say about this...

 

Beyonce Called "Insensitive" After Sampling Audio From Challenger Explosion In "XO"

Posted on Mon Dec 30th, 2013 2:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff

Uhh who thought that was a good idea?!

While both fans and critics alike have been all about the surprise visual album that Beyonce dropped on Dec. 13 -- one song has caused quite the controversy. Queen B's song about a troubled relationship, entitled "XO," shockingly features a brief vocal sample of retired NASA public affairs officer Steve Nesbitt as he comments on the space shuttle Challenger explosion, which killed all seven crew members shortly after lifting off from the Kennedy Space Center on Jan. 28, 1986.

"Flight controllers here looking very carefully at the situation. Obviously a major malfunction," Nesbitt said at the time of the explosion and in the sample.

June Scobee Rodgers, who is the widow of Challenger Commander Dick Scobee, said she was "disappointed" at the pop star's use of the clip since it brought back painful memories of the fateful day she lost her husband, reports ABC News.

"The moment included in this song is an emotionally difficult one for the Challenger families, colleagues, and friends," she said. "We have always chosen to focus not on how our loved ones were lost but rather on how they lived and how their legacy lives on today."

"For the words to be used in the video is simply insensitive, at the very least," said retired astronaut Clayton Anderson.

Yep -- we'll definitely agree with that assessment!

On Christmas, the pop diva released her third informational YouTube video titled "Part 3 Run 'N Gun," in which she explained she had recorded about 80 songs to make the visual album.

"When I started picking the songs that I gravitated towards, because I recorded about 80 songs, it was the songs that were more effortless to me that stuck around," she explained in the YouTube video. 

Hey Bey -- maybe you should have picked one of the other 65 songs that didn't have live commentary on people's deaths -- instead of "XO"?!

On Monday, the "Single Ladies" singer gave a statement to Us Weekly, saying:

    "My heart goes out to the families of those lost in the Challenger disaster. The song 'XO' was recorded with the sincerest intention to help heal those who have lost loved ones and to remind us that unexpected things happen, so love and appreciate every minute that you have with those who mean the most to you. The songwriters included the audio in tribute to the unselfish work of the Challenger crew with hope that they will never be forgotten."


Well if that's an apology it's not a very good one! We agree with the song's critics and definitely think Beyonce (and her songwriters) choice to sample the heart-breaking audio was both "disappointing" and "insensitive."

At this rate, maybe for Bey's next album she will croon some heartfelt lyrics over a sampling of the voicemails left by people in the Twin Towers? That would serve as a great companion piece to "XO."

Sunday may be a day of rest for many -- but not for Josh Duhamel! The Safe Haven star headed to his office with a script for a new film called Lost In The Sun on Sunday in Los Angeles. Oooh we hope Lost in the Sun contains a lot of steamy scenes where Josh has to take off his shirt -- a lot!

Josh and wife Fergie had a family-pact week, celebrating son Axl's first Christmas. On Wednesday, the new parents took their darling little son Axl to a Christmas party at Fergie's parents' home in Pomona, Calif.

The Black Eyed Peas singer said to to People that this Christmas, "It's all about baby Axl this year."

It certainly seemed like that's what the proud parents did! However, on Saturday night Josh and Fergie took some time to themselves and had a date night, leaving their four-month-old son at home. The twosome grabbed dinner at Hillstone in Santa Monica and caught a showing of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

Sounds like a great week to us!

On Sunday Kaley Cuoco stopped by the nail salon in Thousand Oaks, and after that the 27-year-old starlet stopped by a private estate in Malibu. And today X17 photographers snapped Kaley hitting the gym, so she's really cramming it all in before walking down the aisle!

The Big Bang Theory actress and fiance Ryan Sweeting are getting married on New Year's Eve, and according to Us Weekly, and "the event will double as a fire-and-ice-themed holiday bash."

Given how fast she got engaged to Sweeting (after just ten weeks of dating!), we weren't at all shocked to learn that the lovebirds are getting hitched so quickly ... the only question is how was she able to get all of this planned on the fly? She might want to consider a career as a wedding planner on the side, because we're impressed!

Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift And Demi Lovato Have A Facetime Slumber Party

Girls do just want to have fun! Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato had a whole lotta good, clean fun on Saturday night when they had a FaceTime party.

Instead of a wild night out at a club, Selena and Taylor came together for a tea time -- and brought friend Demi into the action via iPhone's FaceTime feature. Technology -- bringing popstars together, one tea party at a time!

The 21-year-old "Come and Get It" singer posted a screen grab of the convo on Instagram with the caption, "Just a Saturday night. Taylor's tea, Demi's laugh. Honestly, can't complain."

Despite it the low key night, the girls were clearly having a blast. In the pic, Selena is letting out a big laugh, Taylor is enjoying her big cup of tea and Demi is smiling widely.

However, Justin Bieber's former flame had quite a different Friday night. Selena partied down in Las Vegas for the opening night of Britney Spear's Pieces Of Me stage show. After the glittering concert, the young star danced the night away with Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry at Beacher's Madhouse.

Looks like a great weekend to us!

On Sunday Gwen Stefani departed from Los Angeles International Airport with sons Kingston and Zuma, and the trio were headed to their cabin in Big Bear for some fun in the snow! We're not sure where daddy Gavin Rossdale was -- perhaps he's joining them up there later to ring in the new year?

Later in the day a chipper Gwen, who is at least six months pregnant, stepped out with her boys to grab some essentials at the store.

And this is the second time in the last week she's put King and Z in matching outfits:

Kylie Jenner Goes Big And Bold With Her Brows And Makeup

Kylie Jenner is 16 going on 25! And she's really taking cues from big sis Kim...

Over the holidays the youngest Kardashian family member must have been bored, because she posted a bunch of selfies and it appears as though she's gotten a bit of a mini makeover!

In one Kylie wore a heavy application of eye makeup and dark lipstick and wrote, "@robscheppy was on his makeup game yesterday" and a few days later raised her eyebrow (and ours) with a very different look.

Last night she posted yet another snapshot of her face and quoted one of Kanye West's songs for the caption, and after that she uploaded a picture of herself wearing one of his Yeezus shirts. Teenage girls who are obsessed with cosmetics are totally Kanye's target audience, right?
