Justin Bieber Does Some Soul Searching With His Pastor's New Book

Posted on Mon Dec 17th, 2018 12:20pm PDT       By X17 Staff


You can't pay for this kind of publicity!

Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share a screenshot of his pastor Judah Smith's new religious book "How's Your Soul," and the singer has 130 million followers that probably jumped on Amazon to score their own copy.

The book promises to "explore what it looks like to cultivate a healthy soul in the midst of a busy life and points readers to the soul's only true home and place of rest and fulfillment: God," according to its description.

The "Sorry" crooner has been focusing on his faith this past year while taking a break from music, but he recently hinted that he's going to hit the recording studio and come out with some new tunes sooner than we think.

In other JB news, a new report claims he's in regular contact with ex Selena Gomez as he's concerned about her mental health.

"Turns out that Justin Bieber is still contacting Selena. It's not as shady as it seems because he's actually just really worried about her mental health after her breakdown, where she entered a rehab center. She's now out and things are looking good. He's still really concerned for her," a source told The Herald Sun.

We doubt his wife Hailey Baldwin would be cool with him being in constant communication with his ex, but who knows!

 

Khloe Claps Back At Commenter Who Says Chicago Isn't Kim K's Biological Child

Posted on Mon Dec 17th, 2018 11:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Don't come for her family or you're going to get burned!

Khloe Kardashian wasn't going to let one silly Instagram commenter start rumors about her niece Chicago West, so she switched into auntie bear mode and let 'em have it!

"Omg Chicago would either look MORE like Kanye or the surrogate mother," the commenter wrote on a side-by-side snapshot mom Kim Kardashian shared.

That's when Khlo stepped in.

"If you don’t really know about someone’s situation then maybe you should not comment. Try informing yourself first before you make such silly statements doll. Your passive wanna be petty comment is simply uneducated. Chicago is completely Kimberly’s biological child. Praise the lord she was able to have a surrogate and that we are blessed with sweet gorgeous Chi Chi," the Revenge Body star responded.

"I am saying you must be more informed before speaking on something that you don’t know anything about apparently. Chicago is Kimberly’s DNA. Her and her husband made embryos and then they were blessed enough to have a surrogate carry their child for them since Kimberly is unable to. God bless modern medicine," she added.

The troll eventually apologized and said the 11-month-old was "beautiful."

We love her fierce protectiveness!

 

Report: Ariana Grande "Feels Horrible" About Pete Davidson's Breakdown, But Refuses To Accept The Blame

Posted on Mon Dec 17th, 2018 10:35am PDT       By X17 Staff


Everything that's happening we could see coming from a mile away!

Ariana Grande is upset that her ex Pete Davidson is struggling so deeply and publicly with his mental health, but she refuses to allow people to blame her for his problems.

"She feels horrible and will be there for him if he needs someone to talk to, but Pete is not Ariana’s responsibility anymore," a source dished to Radar.

"Ariana will not be guilted into believing she is the cause of Pete’s pain. His pain existed long before her and his mental issues are something he should deal with with a doctor, not social media," the source added.

This all began when the SNL admitted he was having suicidal thoughts on Twitter.

"I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. I’m doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don’t know how much longer I can last. All I’ve ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so," he wrote.

The minute the "Sweetener" songstress caught wind of his distressing comments, she rushed to the SNL building in hopes of talking her former fiance off the ledge.

"I’m downstairs and I’m not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything. I know u have everyone u need and that’s not me, but I’m here too," she tweeted to him.

The drama never ends with these two!

 

Halsey Shows G-Eazy What He's Missing In An Orange Bikini

✴️ staycation ✴️

A post shared by halsey (@iamhalsey) on


This is one way to get your ex's attention!

Halsey showed off her unbelievable bod in an orange bikini on Instagram over the weekend, and we'd be willing to bet she's trying to show G-Eazy what he's missing! "Staycation," she simply captioned the snapshot.

The couple broke up a couple months ago, and they've both been spotted moving on with other people since. The rapper was caught making out with artist Christina Ray on a romantic dinner date, while the "Closer" songstress has been heating up with British rocker Yungblud.

"Halsey is not dating anyone seriously at the moment. Her and Yungblud have known each other through friends and have been recently hanging out. It's very casual," a source dished to E! News.

"She is really hurt by G-Eazy, and is still trying to get over the breakup. Halsey is definitely putting herself out there and is keeping busy, but is not ready to be in a serious relationship. She is focusing a lot on her music and wants to have a really successful album and isn't rushing to be with anyone right now," the source added.

We wouldn't be surprised if she got a call from G after he sees this!

 

Offset Speaks Out After Crashing Cardi B's Performance, Pair Denies "Breakup" Is A Publicity Stunt

Posted on Mon Dec 17th, 2018 8:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


This whole thing is starting to feel a little phony...

Offset took to Twitter yesterday to explain why he crashed Cardi B's Rolling Loud Festival performance last week, as chatter about this whole thing being a publicity stunt reached a fever pitch.

"All of my wrongs have been made public, I figure It’s only right that my apologies are made public too. A n—a was just trying …..thank god I ain’t got no balloons sheeesh," he tweeted.

The "Bodak Yellow" songstress is choosing to take the high road, however, to avoid the Migos star going down the same road as troubled comedian Pete Davidson.

"I see a lot of people bashing me because they feel that because I’m defending my baby father, they think that I’m gonna get back together with him. I’m not saying that I’m gonna get back together with him. I just don’t like that bashing online thing," she said in an Instagram video.

"Just earlier, you just saw how Pete Davidson was talking about how he don’t even want to be on this earth because mad people be coming at him every single day. I wouldn’t want my baby father to have that feeling because of millions of people be bashing him every day. That’s a nasty feeling, and I wouldn’t want that," she added.

Are we being duped, though?

Video has surfaced of Offset being led to the stage by Cardi's publicist Patience Foster, and many fans think it's proof that they're taking us for a ride just for attention. The estranged couple claim Foster is as much family as an employee, and she just wanted to give them a chance to work things out. Hmm...

 

Ariana Grande, Pete Davidson, Kanye West, Drake, And Travis Scott Are ALL Wrapped Up In A Twitter Sh*tstorm

Posted on Sun Dec 16th, 2018 7:38am PDT       By X17 Staff


This is a battle royale! All of these grown adult A-listers above are going at each other on Twitter -- making social media a veritable battleground/confessional/therapy session. What the heck?!

It started with Kanye dissing Travis Scott for participating in Drake's undercover messages about Ye on "Sicko Mode." On Thursday, Kanye posted a text he received from someone named "Free" (probably a music producer), acting as a middleman between Ye and Drake to request that Kanye clear the rights for Drake's single "Say What's Real" which appeared on West's 2009 album 808s and Heartbreaks. Kanye used it to illustrate how "fake" the rappers' beef is with each other -- "faker than wrestling." Then he Tweeted that he's still waiting for Drake to apologize for his lyrics in "No Stylist" that reference Drake not wanting his girlfriends to wear Yeezys. "Been trying to meet with you for six months bro. You sneak dissing on [brother-in-law Travis Scott] records and texting [mother-in-law] Kris [Jenner] talking bout how’s the family." He went on to address his self-admitted mental issues: "Sending purple emojis when I’m dealing with mental s—. I need my apologies now. Not through Scooter [Braun] either. Not through Travis."

Enter Travis Scott -- Kylie Jenner's baby daddy -- who's in the middle of this mess for collabing with Drake on the single "Sicko Mode." The track "sneak disses" Kanye in the lyrics, "Jesus Christ (Yeah), checks over stripes (Yeah) / That's what I like (Yeah), that's what we like (Yeah) / Lost my respect, you not a threat" -- checks being a reference to Nike and stripes to Adidas. Drake slammed Travis, writing: "I used to bring Travis with me everywhere with me Im an inspiration to both him and Drake." He went on: "I heard Drake had more bars dissing me that were removed,' and then reminded, 'Trav is my family and let this met throw sneak disses at me for clout." He went on to say, "F*** that sickomode song Family first and always."

Drake responded with a series of laugh/crying emojis on his Instagram story. And apparently Trav called Kanye to which Ye responded on Twitter: "I hit Trav earlier today. Now he just hit me. More threats. I have a problem with sneak dissing. All positive energy I got love for everyone. Just don’t sneak diss or diss at all. I paid the dues for all weirdos. I love everybody all positive energy. No one that is a musician should ever diss me. My existence is for the rights of all artist."

Then Kim Kardashian jumped into the mix to defend her man, posting: "Never threaten my husband or our family. He paved the way for there to be a Drake."

Whew! Now who could possibly be LESS involved in all his mess than ... Ariana Grande?! Well, she injected herself, Tweeting: "Guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight,” she tweeted. “If y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u." Kanye replied, "I know Ariana said this to be cool and didn’t mean no harm but I don’t like even slightest level of slight commentary from someone I know loves and respects me." And he went on: "All of this foolishness weighed on my mental health so @ArianaGrande you know I got love for you but until you’re ready to really make sure everyone’s ok don’t use me or this moment to promote a song."

Ariana promptly deleted the Tweet but it had already trickled down to her ex Pete Davidson who also injected himself into this by writing: "We need people like Kanye. No one should ever point fingers at you for your bravery in speaking about mental health. I’m seriously disgusted."

Grande apologized, but with a twist: "with all due respect, i don’t need to use anyone to promote anything. period,” she wrote. “i was making a comment ab what men were doing at the time vs. women ... it was a joke which i understand now was probably insensitive. i apologize if i was in any way triggering and hope u feel well today."

Davidson, who's been open about his borderline personality disorder wrote on Saturday: "i really don’t want to be on this earth anymore. i’m doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don’t know how much longer i can last. all i’ve ever tried to do was help people. just remember i told you so." Whoa! Calm down, Nelly! You're not even involved in this!

But that didn't stop his ex from rushing to his side, for fear she could lose another boyfriend. The pop star apparently went to the SNL studios in New York and even Tweeted about it from the sidewalk outside the building: "I’m downstairs and I’m not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything. I know u have everyone u need and that’s not me, but i’m here too." She went on: "man i’m so sorry i told a dumb joke. i really didn’t mean any harm. all i want everyone to be healthy and happy. so desperately. please. my god."

Ariana's now deleted all of this and Pete's deleted his Twitter account (again). Meanwhile, Kanye says he's now met with Travis and all is good. He's also still Tweeting like crazy ... and saying he's not crazy ... or that he IS crazy and it's a good thing because he's off meds and off alcohol and feeling like himself again.

Let's run through the day yesterday -- a Friday in the life of Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin.

The young married couple started with a boxing workout together -- the couple who punches together, stays together!



Then they visited Justin's manager Scooter Braun -- probably to visit his new daughter Hart -- his third with wife Yael. we know they loooove babies!


Then Hailey went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for some reason ...


And then the couple met up to take a private jet to who knows where! But first, the couple shared an intimate moment on the steps up to the airplane -- they hugged and perhaps joined in prayer before taking flight?

 

Kanye, Justin Timberlake, And Childish Gambino To Headline Coachella

Posted on Fri Dec 14th, 2018 10:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


We're not sure how to feel about this.

Kanye, Justin Timberlake, and Childish Gambino are set to headline this year's Coachella, and the music festival certainly seems like it's evolved over the years. It used to be about indie bands and unique acts like Bjork, but now it seems to just be about the most popular musicians of the moment.

You know what this means, too...

All the Kardashian-Jenner clan will be out in full force, rocking their festival looks and hitting all the biggest parties. We can't even imagine what 'Ye has up his sleeve, as we all know he'll want to be the talk of the town and best Beyonce's performance from last year.

The full lineup has yet to be released, but we're dying to know who else will take the stage.

Dust off your flower crowns and cut off jean shorts, it's going to be a spectacle!
