Posted on Fri Dec 21st, 2018 7:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


Selena Gomez is keeping busy after completing treatment for mental health issues at an unknown facility on the east coast, according to reports. The singer-actress has been back in LA for at least a week, lying low, until the other day when her friends posted photos of Gomez at a local mountain resort in the snow. She was out with friends Wednesday night getting take-out and then Thursday night we spotted her out at Flybar in Studio City.

Selena hid her face from our photographers with her oversized knit scarf. She wore a long brocade coat with all black underneath.

And as Selena was hitting this local watering hole, her ex Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Baldwin were hopping on a private jet headed out of LA for the holidays. Canada, maybe? To their new home in Ontario? Or maybe to the Caribbean for some sun -- back to the Bahamas where they were engaged? Stay tuned for those EXCLUSIVE pix next!

Posted on Fri Dec 21st, 2018 6:39am PDT       By X17 Staff


Everybody's favorite talk show host/producer/personality Andy Cohen of Bravo is gonna be a dad!

Cohen, 50, made the announcement on Thursday night's Watch What Happens Live with Real Housewives NeNe Leakes, Kyle Richards, Vicki Gunvalson, Ramona Singer, and Teresa Giudice all present.

Bravo Andy said he's doing this with the help of "science" and with a surrogate: "I’ve always tried to be as transparent as possible about my life. I over share and I expect everyone around me to do the same and tonight I want you to be the first to know that after many years of careful deliberation, fair amount of prayers and the benefit of science, if all goes according to plan, in about six weeks time, I’m going to become a father thanks to a wonderful surrogate who is carrying my future,” he told the crowd, who erupted in cheer. “Family means everything to me and having one of my own is something I’ve wanted in my heart for my entire life and though it has taken me longer than most to get there, I cannot wait for what I envision will be the most rewarding chapter yet. To the viewers at home, I call you my friends at home because we are friends. You have supported me through almost 10 years night after night. This has been an incredible, joyous journey with you all. I am grateful to live my dream everyday and grateful to you for coming along for the ride. I don’t take any of it for granted."

Congrats, Andy!

 

Ariana Grande Trolled By Michael Rapaport ... Yeah, Who's He, Again?

Posted on Thu Dec 20th, 2018 2:02pm PDT       By X17 Staff



First prize for dumbest dude on the planet goes to .... Michael Rapaport!

Okay, you may not know who he is -- most people don't. He's a washed up "comedic" actor who decided today was a good day to make fun of Ariana Grande's appears in a ridiculous Tweet. He thinks he's being disruptive but all he's doing is showing the world what a horrible person he is AND that he has horrible grammar.

He writes, along with a throwback pic of Grande: "Ariana Grande is 27 acts 12, you take off those boots she hides her legs in, the cat eye make up and the genie pony tale and I think there’s hotter women working the counter at Starbucks no disrespect to Starbucks."

And then he goes on to plug a new project which we won't even mention here because WE'RE NOT FALLING FOR IT, RAPAPORT!

Clearly this is a BAD attempt at getting cheap PR for his new project which no one would have otherwise heard of, but we have a feeling absolutely NO ONE who cares about Ariana Grande enough to read his stupid Tweet is the kind of person who'd listen to this dude's comedy.

After a million Arianators have come to their queen's defense, Rapaport Tweeted back: " … Talk s—t about Arianna [sic] Grande & I hate Women?”

He added on his Instagram Story: “EAT Dwycks SnowFlakes. Stay Disruptive Stay Disruptive #DisruptiveBehavior @iamrapaport." SO DUMB! There's a difference between being disruptive and being mean. Ariana's going high while he goes low -- we hope she doesn't bother to respond to this mess.

 

Halsey And Her Mom Join Kim Kardashian At Travis Scott's Astroworld Concert As The Singer Defends Her Performance On The Voice

Posted on Thu Dec 20th, 2018 11:14am PDT       By X17 Staff


Who knew they were friends?!

Halsey and her mom Nicole Frangipane hung with Kim Kardashian at Travis Scott's LA concert last night and they documented it on Kim's Instagram story!

The 24-year-old wore her usual head wrap with a sexy red crop top, revealing her sexy abs. Meanwhile Kim was makeup-free in what appears to be a Yeezy jacket at The Forum Wednesday night. The trio were excited to see Kylie Jenner's man hit the stage on his 31-date Astroworld tour. Kylie and daughter Stormi have been on the road with daddy for the past few weeks but the family's back in LA for Scott's extended run in LA.

Meanwhile, Halsey's been defending herself against haters who trolled her online for lip-syncing her performance on Tuesday night's finale of The Voice. She Tweeted on Wednesday: "I don't get why everytime I do TV people say I'm "lipsynching" like it's 2018 are people even allowed to do that anymore? I'm not even sure these programs would allow a singer to do it if they begged to cause they'd be scared of tech difficulties compromising the show's integrity. Like I feel so dumb even having to address this lmao."

She was also trolled for her "inappropriate" dance with Jade Chynoweth, which some thought was too much for TV. Halsey respectfully (or maybe not) disagrees: "Very proud of the emotional performance I did with @JadeChynoweth on @NBCTheVoice tonight. And also very proud to have pissed off the homophobic viewers at home who missed the message. Thanks for watching."

Ha! LOVE her!

The Kardashians Are Shutting Down Their Apps As Viewership For KUWTK Plunges! Is The Kardashian Empire Crumbling?

Posted on Thu Dec 20th, 2018 9:57am PDT       By X17 Staff


Is the public's love of everything Kardashian finally waning?!

Haters have been calling the downfall of the Kardashian empire almost since it began yet Kylie's topping Forbes' list of people who make way too much money; Kim keeps selling fragrance; Khloe's denim is on a lotta big bootys out there; Kendall's getting some of the biggest fashion campaigns ever; and Kris Jenner's still managing it all and raking in the dough! So why are the ladies shutting down their apps?

Kim wrote in a statement on her web site: "We’ve had an incredible experience connecting with all of you through our apps these past few years.
But have made the difficult decision to no longer continue updating in 2019 ... We truly hope you’ve enjoyed this journey as much as we have, and we look forward to what’s ahead." No explanation is give, but obviously it's because it wasn't worth their time!

The ladies' apps depended on subscribers and realistically there's just too much FREE Kardashian content out there like THIS, that even the biggest fans don't really wanna fork over $2.99/month to see selfies and have access to recipes and face mask favorites.

The girls launched their apps in the fall of 2015, so the project was relatively short-lived. And that's not the only thing in the Kingdom of Kardashian that's goin' down ... the family's reality show on E!, Keeping Up With the Kardashians has suffered a severe ratings drop with the SEASON 15 (yep, it's been on for FIFTEEN SEASON -- ELEVEN YEARS!) bringing in fewer viewers than Kris Jenner's social media post promoting the show! How's THAT for ironic! The E! Entertainment series finale got 851,000 viewers versus 1.3 million for last season's final episode -- a 37% drop.

We asked Scott Disick if he's worried about the show's ratings -- check out his priceless reaction ...


It's predicted next season's numbers will be even lower, though still fairly decent for the cable network. But what'll become of the Kardashians if they're not on TV? YOU take a guess! Give us your vote here ...

No one will care about them anymore.

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO - Selena Gomez Enjoys A Night Out With Friends While Justin Bieber Goes To Church Without Hailey

Posted on Thu Dec 20th, 2018 9:38am PDT       By X17 Staff



Having just returned from a ski trip to Big Bear just outside of LA, Selena Gomez and friends went to pick up some take-out for dinner after the group returned home.

Selena's actually been back in LA for at least a week following release from a treatment center where she was seeking help for mental health issues. She's been lying low and staying off social media ... until Tuesday, when her friends posted pix of the friends' trip to the mountains.

Meanwhile, her ex Justin Bieber's been exhibiting some strange behavior as of late ... we caught the emotional pop star shaking and bobbing his head back and forth repeatedly in his car yesterday as he was pulled over on the side of the road. It's certainly not the first time we've noticed Justin with this nervous twitch -- something that seems to go beyond a nervous twitch, actually. We're actually worried for him!

After stopping for coffee before an afternoon workout Wednesday, Bieber headed to Compton -- not sure why.

Then Wednesday night he hit up Hillsong's weekly evening service ... without wife Hailey Baldwin. We're pretty sure she's in town but busy working so Biebs hit up the religious revival solo. What if Selena had been there?!!!


 

Justin Bieber Is Battling Some Serious Acne!

Posted on Wed Dec 19th, 2018 1:25pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Time to reach for that Proactiv!

We caught Justin Bieber grabbing coffee this morning while chatting on his cell phone, and we hate to be mean, but the singer really needs to take care of his skin!

We know stress causes breakouts, and he's had more than his fair share of that in the past few months, but still... dude needs a facial to help with this acne!

From what we're hearing, JB has been overwhelmed with trying to be a perfect husband to wife Hailey Baldwin, while also feeling the pressure to make new music. Oh, and there's Selena Gomez's mental breakdown, which took it's toll.

A source tells X17:
    "Justin has had a lot on his plate lately. He's trying to do right by Hailey and make sure she's happy in their marriage, and he's also trying to figure out how to keep his team happy and make new music. It's a lot. Being a celebrity stresses him out, and he wishes he was just a normal guy. He's sick of being followed by cameras and asked about ex Selena Gomez every time he leaves his house. He wants to move forward in life."

Is HE headed for a breakdown of his own? Watch the below video, he's just parked on the side of the street rocking back and forth like he's trying to ward off a panic attack!
