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.

 

Report: Khloe Kardashian "Seems Over" Her Relationship With Tristan Thompson

Posted on Wed Oct 24th, 2018 11:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


This is the best news we've heard all week!

Khloe Kardashian sounds like she's gearing up to kick cheating baby daddy Tristan Thompson to the curb, and rather than being devastated over the imminent end of her relationship, she seems to be doing just dandy.

"She very much seems over Tristan. Not sure how they went from fine to being apart for weeks, but Khloé is doing great," a source dished to People.

The reality star is choosing to focus on motherhood, rather than her romantic life.

"It’s amazing to see what a great mom she is and how much she enjoys it. She is very much just focused on the happy things in her life. True, of course, makes her the happiest," the source added.

The Revenge Body star has spent the months since the NBA player's cheating scandal figuring out what she wants for their future.

"It doesn’t seem to bother her that she isn’t with Tristan in Cleveland. She seems to know what she wants in her life right now. And it definitely doesn’t seem like she wants to be with Tristan," the insider revealed.

Khlo deserves SO much better, and we're thrilled she's finally seeing the light!

 

Meghan Markle's Fiji Market Tour Cut Short Over Security Concerns

Duchess in danger!

Meghan Markle was scheduled to spend up to 20 minutes touring the Suva market in Fiji yesterday to learn about a UN Women’s project, “Markets for Change,” which promotes women’s empowerment in marketplaces throughout the South Pacific, but her visit was cut short due to security concerns.

Her security detail grew concerned about the large crowds and decided to whisk the pregnant royal back to her car and away from the venue. Prince Harry, meanwhile, was off visiting a local rainforest, which the former actress couldn't do with him due to the Zika virus risk in the nation.

Earlier in the day, the Duchess of Sussex delivered her first royal tour speech at the University of the South Pacific, and spoke to the crowd about the importance of higher education for women.

"As a university graduate, I know the personal feeling of pride and excitement that comes with attending university. From the moment you receive your acceptance letter to the exams you spend countless late nights studying for, the lifelong friendships you make with your fellow alumni to the moment that you receive your diploma, the journey of higher education is an incredible, impactful and pivotal one," she said.

"I am also fully aware of the challenges of being able to afford this level of schooling for many people around the world, myself included. It was through scholarships, financial aid programs and work-study where my earnings from a job on campus went directly towards my tuition – that I was able to attend university. And, without question, it was worth every effort,” she continued.

"Everyone should be afforded the opportunity to receive the education they want, but more importantly the education they have the right to receive. And for women and girls in developing countries, this is vital. When girls are given the right tools to succeed, they can create incredible futures, not only for themselves but for all of those around them," she concluded.

This American princess is smashing it out of the park!

 

Report: Ariana Grande's Family And Friends Are "Relieved" She Split From Pete Davidson

Posted on Wed Oct 24th, 2018 9:55am PDT       By X17 Staff


Everyone's breathing a sigh of relief.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson shocked everyone when they announced they were engaged after just a month of dating last summer, and those closest to her were hoping she would come to her senses before making things permanent and walking down the aisle.

“She threw herself into the relationship with Pete. She is young, but at least mature enough to realize this wasn’t the right relationship or the right time to get married. [Her loved ones] always thought the engagement to Pete happened way too quickly. They didn’t want her to get married to Pete. And Ariana never got to the wedding planning stage. It was all way too soon,” a source dished to People.

"Ariana has had several stressful situations in the past couple of years. She really isn’t in a position to make huge life decisions. Her family thinks she should just focus on work and not stress about other stuff,” the source added.

The "Sweetener" songstress returned her $100K engagement ring, and the SNL funny man moved out of her $16 million NYC penthouse apartment.

"Pete’s no longer at the house because why would he be? They broke up. He has no reason to go there. Everyone on both sides are relieved it’s over. Pete has moved out. They are in contact, but not dating. Ariana is doing pretty well. Actually much better than expected," the insider revealed.

This is why they say to take things slow!

Jen G's got her groove back!

Jennifer Garner has been secretly dating businessman and tech CEO John Miller, and it's been going on longer than you think!

"They’ve been together six months — and it’s getting pretty serious. Jen brings out the best in John, and he is the happiest he has probably ever been. It’s a loving, healthy relationship," a source dished to Us Weekly.

Her 40-year-old beau is the CEO of CaliGroup, a company that owns Miso Robotics and a chain of about 50 CaliBurger restaurants. He's a father to a 12-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter with his ex-wife, and they are still waiting on the final paperwork from their divorce to be finalized.

Proof this isn't just a fling? Miller has already met her three children with ex Ben Affleck!

Speaking of her former husband, he reportedly has no hard feelings about Jen moving on and just wants what's best for her.

"Ben and Jen have immense love and respect for one another. They still co-parent together and that will always come first. He will always be supportive of any decisions she makes and ultimately just wants her to be happy," a source added.

This is one lucky dude!

 

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO - Hailey Baldwin's Dad Stephen Playfully Smacks Justin Bieber On The Butt After Lunch

Posted on Wed Oct 24th, 2018 8:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


JB's new father-in-law got a little handsy!

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin took her dad Stephen out to lunch in Toluca Lake yesterday, and after their meal, the actor took it upon himself to joke around with the singer and playfully tap his bum as he walked around to the car. Afterwards, he hugged his daughter goodbye and they went their separate ways.

This isn't the first time the Bio Dome star has spent time with The Biebs, and he's a big fan of his little girl's new husband.

"Justin is not the kid he used to be. He is a man now and I think he is going to start making decisions for himself. He's grown up a lot, quick, and I am very impressed with him already for how he's caring for my daughter," he recently told Daily Mail TV.

"Most people don't know that my daughter has known him for 10 years, long time, so obviously, for these kids, they haven't always had the chance to have people understand the dynamics of their friendship. So I am very happy for them, I am blessed, and I'm looking forward to a great future for the two of them," he added.

No awkward family holidays here!

 

Did Justin Cut His Hair? Nope, It's A Man Bun!

Posted on Tue Oct 23rd, 2018 12:50pm PDT       By X17 Staff


We were jumping for joy when we saw this pix and thought Justin had tamed his wild locks -- alas, it's just a man bun, people.

By the same token, we certainly don't want him looking like every average dude walking down the street ... He and Hailey aren't your average couple!

Biebs and Baldwin (or shall we say Mr. and Mrs. Biebs) wore their comfiest designer street wear to grab some coffee at their local cafe this morning and honestly, every time we see Hailey in baggie clothes we can't help but wonder ... First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby carriage? The two are already legally wed, and it sounds like they're eager to start a family sooner rather than later.

"Justin can’t wait to become a dad. He would be entirely thrilled if Hailey got pregnant tomorrow. As young as Justin is he’s already lived more than most people twice his age so he does feel mature enough to be a dad," a source dished to Hollywood Life.

"Where they’re living together right now is a very family friendly neighborhood so everywhere they go, there are cute kids there. They both get so excited over all the cute kids. Being around all these happy families is making Justin even more eager to have a baby with Hailey," the source added.

If the "Sorry" crooner had any heart, he'd wait to have kids until Selena Gomez was slightly more mentally stable. That would totally throw her over the edge!

Speaking of going over the edge ... Justin hasn't been feeling himself lately either and today he SNAPPED at our videographer. But Bieber doesn't forget when he sins; he makes good and apologizes and that's just what he did here! ...

 

Kendall Slammed For Her "Afro" In Vogue

Fifteen years and 150 finalists later, the @CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize has created global stars, local heroes, a must-watch New York Fashion Week, and, most important, a true sense of community among designers of all ages and backgrounds—all with differing aesthetic and commercial aspirations—who communicate, collaborate, and essentially care for one another through the fun and not-so-fun times. Laura Vassar Brock—one of the founders of 2016 #CVFF winner Brock Collection—says, “We spoke to a few friends who had gone through it, and they all said the same thing: that the Fashion Fund is a life-changing experience. And indeed it was!” Tap the link in our bio to learn more. Photographed by @mikaeljansson, styled by @tonnegood, Vogue, November 2018

We're actually Team Kenny on this one for once!

Kendall Jenner has received a lot of criticism in the past for appropriating black culture, and this time fans are outraged that she sported an "afro" for a Vogue piece. The supermodel rocked the frizzy curly 'do while wearing a Brock collection ensemble, and to say some people are offended would be an understatement.

"I swear baby girl enjoys pissing black people off. I can't even wait for her half baked apology on why she wore afro hair for this shoot," one Instagram user wrote. "First she steals black girls' dudes, and now she has to come for their looks?" wrote another.

The mag caught wind of the controversy and quickly issued an apology.

"The image is meant to be an update of the romantic Edwardian/Gibson Girl hair which suits the period feel of the Brock Collection, and also the big hair of the ’60s and the early ’70s, that puffed-out, teased-out look of those eras. We apologize if it came across differently than intended, and we certainly did not mean to offend anyone by it," they said in a statement to People.

Interestingly, Kendall has yet to issue her own statement, but we have a feeling Kris Jenner is busy crafting it now!
