NBC Reportedly Cancels Megyn Kelly Today After Blackface Controversy

Posted on Thu Oct 25th, 2018 12:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

Megyn Kelly's morning show has been canceled by NBC just days after her controversial blackface comments, multiple reports are confirming.

"They’re contacting the staff and reassigning everyone today. Everyone’s being told that they still have a home here, but it won’t be on Megyn’s show. They haven’t made an official announcement about the show, but everyone knows what it means when they’re being moved somewhere else. The show is clearly over," a source dished to People.

Rumors have long swirled that Kelly was disliked by her co-workers and the Today show family, so it's doubtful that anybody is fighting to keep her. That said, another source insists that the anchor has yet to be notified about any decision regarding the future of her show.

In case you missed it, on Tuesday's show, she basically said that blackface was no big deal during a discussion panel on Halloween costumes.

"But what is racist? Because truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a character," she told the shocked audience.

She tried to backtrack and issue an on-air tearful apology the next day, but at that point the damage had been done.

"I want to begin with two words: I'm sorry. You may have heard that yesterday we had a conversation about political correctness and Halloween costumes. ... I defended the idea (of blackface), saying that as long it was respectful and part of a Halloween costume, that it seemed OK. Well, I was wrong, and I am sorry. I have never been a PC kind of person, but it is not OK for (blackface) to be part of any costume, Halloween or otherwise," she said during her opening monologue.

"This past year has been so painful for many people of color. The country feels so divided and I have no wish to add to that pain and offense. I believe this is a time for more understanding, more love, more sensitivity and honor, and I want to be part of that. Thank you for listening and for helping me listen too. For my part, I have been listening and learning, and I am grateful to both of you to have this conversation here on this set today. And to those who reached out to me via Twitter, I've heard you, too," she added.

Craig Melvin later called her comments "indefensible," while Al Roker said she “owes a bigger apology to folks of color around the country.”

Matt Lauer must be loving this!


 

Was Kim's Butt Photoshopped Smaller In Her Latest Sexy Instagram?

It certainly looks like it!

Kim Kardashian is famous for her butt, so why is she trying to downsize it? The reality star posted this Instagram to promote her new KKW beauty products, and fans were quick to notice that her booty looked noticeably smaller.

"You pay all that money for butt implants and then Photoshop it smaller?" one user wrote. "Her butt looks too normal here, we all know you have a fat ass and cellulite in real life," another wrote. Brutal!

Personally, we think her derriere is less shocking than her face... what is happening?! Is this some new fillers? Why does she look totally unrecognizable?

Do you think Kim's butt was Photoshopped in this pic?

Cardi B Addresses Rumors That She Has A Nicki Minaj Diss Track Coming Out

Posted on Thu Oct 25th, 2018 10:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


Cardi B addressed rumors that she has a Nicki Minaj diss track coming out during an interview with Ebro Darden on his Apple Music Beats 1 show today, and it really seems the rapper is trying to put their beef behind her.

"The way that I came up, it was never about dissing nobody, and I still feel like I don’t need to diss anybody for nothing. My music was never about that. I have a short temper, so that’s like doing things that I don’t stand for. I don’t like when people be subbing me. So why would I subbing you on music?" she explained. We're not sure we're following...

"And any problem that I have, I always address people face-to-face. I don’t care. It’s whatever the energy’s like. I don’t care," she added.

In case you forgot, the two hit makers got into a brawl during New York Fashion Week, and the "Bodak Yellow" songstress threw her high heel at Nicki in a fit of rage, after she thought NM dissed her parenting of daughter Kulture.

She's such a hot head, we love it!

He managed to get a KarJenner out of Calabasas!

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have plunked down a whopping $13.45 million for this new Beverly Hills mansion, and they went halfsies on it, which indicates to us that they clearly see their relationship going the distance!

The pad, built in 1971, was sold in 2012 for just $6.3 million to a development firm, who then turned around and rehabbed the whole thing before putting it back on the market. There's a massive pool, huge kitchen, and multiple car garage, but the coolest feature is definitely the 2,300 square foot master bedroom, which makes up the entire second floor!

The 9,680 square-foot place boasts 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, as well as a library, gym, wine cellar, and home theater. Just in case you were wondering, the couple's average monthly payment will be around $55K!

The LipKit mogul is amassing quite the real estate portfolio!

 

Robert De Niro Is The Latest Trump Critic To Receive A Bomb Package

Posted on Thu Oct 25th, 2018 8:55am PDT       By X17 Staff


A suspicious package was sent to Robert De Niro in Manhattan yesterday, and the New York City Police Department bomb squad was sent in to remove it. The actor is the latest prominent Democrat to receive threatening mail, after Hillary Clinton, Obama, George Soros, and others all were mailed pipe bombs ahead of the midterm elections.

"The package was similar to the other suspicious packages and appeared to be from the same sender. A report about the suspicious package was called in at 5:00 a.m. local time, and authorities removed the package via the NYPD bomb truck at 6:30 a.m," an NYPD rep told People.

A similar package was sent to the CNN headquarters and caused an evacuation of the building, and so far no suspects have been identified.

"I just want to tell you that in these times we have to unify. We have to come together and send one very clear, strong, unmistakable message that acts or threats of political violence of any kind have no place in the United States of America," Donald Trump said on Wednesday.

Scary!

 

Justin And Hailey Head To Their Nightly Church Session

Posted on Thu Oct 25th, 2018 8:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


They are dedicated to their faith!

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin headed to church last night, and they're certainly putting on a united front amid all the rumors that the singer is still in love with Selena Gomez and struggling with his guilt over her recent mental breakdown.

"[Justin} won’t stop blaming himself for her breakdown. Deep down, Justin knows she still has feelings for him and that his marriage to Hailey would’ve upset her. Selena was Justin’s first love and everyone can see that he still cares for her," a source dished to Life & Style.

The Biebs' model wife is doing her best to support him through this tough time.

"Hailey is one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet and is doing her best to support Justin. But the whole Selena situation is putting a strain on their marriage," the source added.

In an effort to deal with all the drama, the young newlyweds have decided to get professional help in couple's therapy.

"Justin and Hailey want to ensure that they deal with any hiccups like adults, rather than letting them drag out and develop into something bigger," the insider revealed.

We'd love to be a fly on the wall for their private conversations!

 

Justin's Mom And Hailey's Dad Are In Town... For A Pre-Wedding Powow?

Posted on Wed Oct 24th, 2018 2:11pm PDT       By X17 Staff


It's high time their families meet!

We caught Justin Bieber and wife Hailey Baldwin picking up his mom Pattie Mallette from her $120-a-night Holiday Inn hotel this afternoon in LA, just one day after the couple grabbed lunch with the model's father Stephen, and we have a feeling the parents are getting involved in the wedding planning!

Of course, we all know that JB and HB secretly tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in September, but they're still planning a blowout ceremony, and they probably want Pattie and Stephen's input on their big day.

A source tells X17:
    "Justin loves Hailey's dad and actually spends a fair amount of time with him. His mom Pattie lives far away, so he wanted her to visit and spend some time really getting to know his new wife and her parents. Pattie was close with his ex Selena Gomez, but she just wants what's best for her son, so she's very friendly with Hailey as well."

The Bieber clan and the Baldwin clan are bound to spend holidays together in the future once a baby Bieber arrives, so it's good they're bonding now!

 

Ariana Grande's Manager Scooter Braun Claims Their Brief Falling Out Was Due To A "Sh*tty Boyfriend" Of Hers

Posted on Wed Oct 24th, 2018 12:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff


We're dying to know who it is!

Ariana Grande's manager Scooter Braun opened up to Variety about being briefly fired by the singer, and he claims she was heavily influenced at the time by a "sh*tty boyfriend."

Grande and Braun went their separate ways in February 2016 before reuniting in September of that year, which was right after she broke up with Big Sean and right before she got together with Mac Miller. We have a feeling Big Sean might be the culprit!

Braun decided to keep his silence during their break, in hopes that she'd come to her senses eventually.

“I watched this other manager get fired, and I saw him defend himself instantly and put out a lot of truths. And I watched the artist see those truths, not want to deal with it, and then forever hate that manager. And with Ariana, I could have said a lot of stuff, and in fact my team wanted me to, because they were pissed. But I said, ‘We’re not gonna say a word, and this is gonna come back around.’ They were like, ‘Never take her back!’ but I just said, ‘Let’s stay quiet and let our truth be our actions," he explained to the trade mag.

"And when s—tty boyfriends leave, she starts to see the light on some stuff, and one day I got a phone call. She said, ‘Can I see you tomorrow?’ and I said, ‘No, I’m busy’ — I actually couldn’t, so I said, ‘I could see you Thursday’ or whatever and I went over there and we had a very honest conversation. It made me and her really tight, because now when we get into those fights and she’s coming at me, I just go, ‘Woah, do you want to go back to where we were?’ and then it kinda calms down," he added.

Their bond was solidified after the terrorist attack at her Manchester concert.

"That relationship we had, from being fired to getting back together, really gave us the strength for what we never imagined would come that following year,” he revealed, referencing the horrific ordeal.

We're glad they managed to find their way back to each other.
