We can't imagine what Lea Michele must be going through. A little over a month after the loss of her boyfriend and co-star Cory Monteith, the Glee star celebrated her 27th birthday on Thursday -- her since the death of Monteith. But despite what we imagine to be a difficult day, Lea took time to thank her fans for their support during the trying times.

“Thank you guys for all the birthday love today:) So beyond thankful for all of you …,” tweeted Lea.

The New Year's Eve star has been putting on a brave face since the news that Monteith had died of a overdose from a mixture of heroin and alcohol in his Vancouver hotel room on July 13. At the 2013 Teen Choice Awards on Aug. 11, the brunette singer/actress made an emotional and heartfelt speech when she dedicated the her Choice TV Actress -- Comedy award to her fallen love.

“I wanted to dedicate this award to Cory,” Lea said onstage at the awards show. “For all of you out there who loved and admired Cory as much as I did, I promise that, with your love, we’re going to get through this together.

We are amazed at Lea's strength during this ordeal and wish her the best birthday. The fifth season of Glee comes back to FOX on Sept. 26.

Her housemates wish she would cover up!

Courtney Stodden has only been in the Celebrity Big Brother house seven days and already she's managed to ruffle feathers by parading around in skimpy outfits and showing off her ample assets. Most recently, the teen bride decided to lay out and get a tan in a small black bikini that didn't do a very good job keeping her implants covered.

The blonde bombshell turned 19-years-old yesterday and won a challenge on the show that rewarded her with a birthday party complete with cake, pizza, and champagne, and she chose to share her celebration with fellow castmate Dustin Diamond.

When is this girl going to learn to put on clothes?!

Christina Aguilera Shows Off Adorable Son And Hot Bod In New Music Video

Posted on Fri Aug 30th, 2013 9:30am PDT       By X17 Staff




She really is a fighter! Despite the fact that her 2012 album Lotus was considered a flop, Christina Aguilera is refusing to give up on it. The Grammy winner is releasing a new single, "Let There Be Love," off the album as well an accompanying video that features her adorable son and famous friends Nicole Richie and Christina Milian. And lucky for us all, Xtina also shows off her newly fit form in a few revealing bathing suits.

At the start of the video, the "Fighter" singer opens up with a personal message to her fans, saying, "Hey everybody Christina here, just thanking you guys so much for filling my life and my heart with so much love continued throughout the years. Standing by me, I appreciate all your support, this one is just for you."

In the music video, fan clips are spliced with home videos of the 32-year-old songstress and her pals, including Nicole Richie, who is seen joking around with another friend as they make the "L" sign for love with their hands. Throughout the music morsel, people fans and friends are pictured making the L, as well as holding pro-tolerance signs like "Racism sucks," "Respect," "Accept" and "War is not the answer."

Viewers can even glimpse the sexy lady's too-cute son, five-year-old Max Liron Bratman rocking out to his mom's music (he's the wee one wearing burgundy pants, a Batman shirt, converse and a fedora). Oh my gosh -- we think it's beyond adorable!

While we love the positive message of the fun-filled video -- we wonder if anyone mentioned to the crooner that the "L" sign stands for Loser? Either way, we are digging this song and hope Xtina turns this tune into a chart winner!

Lady Gaga leather glasses singer hotel psychedelic kaleidoscope Black Sheep Syndication

Is she headed to the chocolate factory?!

Lady Gaga left her hotel in London yesterday, and the singer opted to wear a leather pants suit and crazy kaleidoscope glasses to hit the town.

Mother Monster is across the pond to perform her new single "Swine" on Monday at London's Roundhouse as part of the month-long concert series.

The chart topper released a clip of herself rehearsing for the show, and we think she has another #1 hit on her hands!

The video shows the Grammy winner banging on the drums and keyboards as she sings the lyrics, "I know, I know, I know you want me/You're just a pig inside a human body."

After donning that skimpy outfit at the VMA's, we're sure a lot of people want her!

 

Was Robin Thicke Caught Grabbing A Female Fan's Butt At The MTV VMAs?

You tell us!

Robin Thicke posed for a photo with a fan at the MTV Video Music Awards, and while it seems innocent enough, look at the mirror behind them!

The day after the show Twitter user Jen Leadley tweeted at Robin's wife Paula Patton and wrote, "@PaulaPattonXO look at the reflection girl." It's not known who snapped, but neither Paula nor Robin has released a comment about it -- they're too busy vacationing in Miami with their son Julian!

Paula was Robin's date to the VMAs and they attended the afterparty at 10AK in New York City, so it's not like he was totally doing this behind her back. That would be pretty ballsy ... but still! What do you make of this photo?

 

BREAKING NEWS - Lamar Odom Arrested For D.U.I.

Lamar Odom was arrested for "driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs" in a white Mercedes at 3:54am on Friday on the 101 freeway in the San Fernando Valley.

California Highway Patrol pulled the troubled NBA star over after noticing that he was driving in a "serpentine manner" and going only about 50 miles per hour. Lamar drove past 3 exits before he finally pulled over, and law enforcement sources tell TMZ he showed "obvious signs of intoxication."

Lamar failed several field sobriety tests, and he was then taken to a nearby station, where he was booked and held on $15,000 bail. The website also reports that when Lamar was booked, he refused all chemical tests.

Lamar has been in the news lately for his marital drama with Khloe Kardashian and his alleged drug addiction, but just two days ago we snapped him driving his Mercedes SUV to a Taco Bell drive-through, and he seemed to be in good spirits. After grabbing some grub, Lamar returned home to the Tarzana pad he shares with Khloe, so we were under the impression that things were getting better. Guess not!

UPDATE:
Lamar was released from custody at 8:33am this morning and he is set to appear at Van Nuys Municipal court on September 27 to face charges. He's still at the police station though -- stay tuned for pix and video of him leaving!

 

Jay-Z Debuts Holy Grail Music Video With Justin Timberlake

Posted on Fri Aug 30th, 2013 7:30am PDT       By X17 Staff



He's taking to social media quite nicely!

On Thursday, Jay-Z debuted his latest music video Holy Grail featuring Justin Timberlake on Facebook, making it the first vid by a major recording artist to premiere on the social network.

With the rapper's 17 million fans to go with JT's 25 million, this strategy seemed to be a smart one that appropriately utilizes their massive reach potential within the social media sphere.

"What we’re doing with Jay Z today is really exciting and we think emblematic of the evolution for music and how musicians can connect with their fans," says Nick Grudin, head of content partnerships for Facebook.

Jay is no stranger to innovation, with his most recent being the $30 million marketing partnership with Samsung for his album Magna Carta Holy Grail earlier this year.
