Do you, girl!
Ariana Grande got fans all excited when she teased a video clip for her new single "Breathin," but it wasn't what they thought it was! Instead, the pop princess shared a video montage of her pet pig Piggy Smallz set to Aerosmith's tune by the same name.
One particular commenter was outraged, and called her new album a "joke" and her lack of new material "lazy."
That's when the pint-size princess fired back.
"This era is beautiful to me but idk. Been thru hell and back and I’m doing my best to keep going (sic). Thought this would make u laugh while u wait for the real one bc i took a break to take care of myself for a lil while. My b (sic)â€, she responded.
After the terrorist attack at her Manchester concert and ex-boyfriend Mac Miller's tragic death from an overdose, we'd say she's entitled to a little personal time to heal.

Is this really happening?! This feels like the Twilight zone!
Kanye is in the Oval Office right now meeting with President Trump, and we're really at a loss for words. The rapper, wearing his MAGA hat, is spewing knowledge and opinions, and our POTUS is carefully listening in.
'Ye is ranting about Chicago, the prison system, American jobs, and how great a job the Commander-in-Chief is doing, and he's even discussing his bipolar disorder "misdiagnosis" and the bullying he's receiving for supporting the Prez. He's also moving for the abolishment of the 13th amendment.
After this meeting, Yeezus and The Donald are set to dine on a lunch of caprese salad and roasted chicken with fingerling potatoes and asparagus, the White House told reporters. They will be joined by Ivanka, Jared Kushner, Kid Rock, and NFL star Jim Brown. Wow!
Trump was clearly impressed with Kimmy K's husband, as he revealed after the sit-down that he would consider The Louis Vuitton Don as a running mate! Not only that, but he appreciates what KW is doing for his approval rating in the black community.
"I've known him a long time. He's a very different kind of a guy, I say that in a positive way. He is a very different kind of a guy. Those in the music business say he is a genius. That's OK with me because, as far as I'm concerned, he is. When Kanye came out [a] couple months ago, something happened, my polls went up like 25 percent. Nobody [had] ever seen it. He has a big following in the African-American community—a big, big following. I think he has in a lot of communities, but the polls went through the roof," Trump boasted in a Fox News interview earlier in the day.
"[Kanye] can speak for me any time he wants. He’s a smart cookie. He gets it," Trump told reporters.
Before their celebratory meal, Trump signed the Hatch-Goodlatte Music Modernization Act, which is a bipartisan bill that ensures artists who released records prior to 1972 are paid royalties for digital services. It also aimes to streamline the process for those services to obtain music licensing rights. Translation? More money for Kanye!

She's going to have a hard time saying ciao!
Teresa Giudice was dealt a hard blow on Wednesday when an immigration court ruled that her husband Joe must be deported to Italy when he finishes his prison sentence.
"[Teresa] never imaged Joe would really get deported. This is going to break her. She always knew that this was a possibility, but she put it out of her head. That’s the only way she could go on living day to day," a source dished to People.
"That’s why she hates going to see him in prison, too. It’s just like, ‘Keep busy and don’t think about the bad stuff.’ [It’s] a very Italian way to be. Joe encourages Teresa to be this way. He feels a lot of guilt over what happened and would rather she just remained focused on their girls and things at home than have to worry about another one of his problems. It’s sad but this one will be too hard to ignore," the source added.
Joe is currently serving out a 41-month prison sentence for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud that began in March 2016. He is set to be released in 2019, and he has 30 days to appeal the decision.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is determined to keep it together for the sake of their daughters Gia, 17, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 12, and Audriana, 9.
"Teresa is incredibly strong, and whether she admits it or not, I think she had secretly prepared for this. Since Joe’s been gone, Teresa’s grown into her independence. She’s taken control of her life, and she’s raised those girls well. It’s sad, but she’s going to handle this just as well as she’s handled everything else. She’ll push her own feelings aside to make sure her daughters are being taken care of. Teresa’s a big girl. She’ll put on a brave face throughout it all," the insider revealed.
Tre and Juicy Joe really got themselves into a gigantic mess!

We have to wonder if he feels partially responsible for this?
Justin Bieber was comforted by pals at church last night as he learned of ex Selena Gomez's mental breakdown and hospitalization, and it was pretty suspicious that fiancee/wife Hailey Baldwin wasn't in tow. Perhaps he told her he needed some alone time to process his emotions?
People are blaming The Biebs and his lady love for pushing the "Come & Get It" songstress over the edge with their engagement and secret wedding, and it couldn't have been easy for her to watch him move on so publicly and permanently. Mind you, it was less than six months ago that JB and SG were trying to make their own years long on-off relationship work!
A source tells X17:
"Justin feels horribly. He knows that she's been dealing with her lupus and kidney transplant complications, and all the depression and anxiety that comes with it, and now he regrets throwing his relationship with Hailey in her face. Even though they're not together anymore, Justin will always love Selena. He's in a tricky spot because Hailey has always been insecure and suspicious of Selena, so he doesn't know how to proceed. He wants to reach out to her and have some closure, but Hailey has forbid it."
Why do we feel like the "Sorry" crooner is on the verge of his own mental breakdown?

Unfortunately we knew this was coming.
Selena Gomez is seeking treatment at an East Coast in-patient psychiatric facility after suffering a mental breakdown, multiple reports claim. The singer was secretly hospitalized twice in the last two weeks, after suffering physical and mental health issues.
The "Come & Get" songstress was rushed to Cedars-Sinai hospital in the last week of September after becoming "despondent and emotional over an alarmingly low white blood cell count†in the wake of her 2017 kidney transplant. She was released, but a few days later she was back, and this time she had a "freak out" and tried to rip the IV's out of her arms and leave against medical advice.
Apparently, her friends and family believe her "refusal to live a sober life†is contributing to her health crisis, and they're desperate to have her embrace a clean living lifestyle. "Doctors have all told her she needs to stop. Her family says she needs to stay sober, or she could die," an insider dished to Radar.
This poor girl... Bieber fever is putting her life in danger! We didn't know it at the time, but we caught Selena entering the hospital the first time around. Watch!

They definitely don't shy away from controversy.
Kim Kardashian thinks it's great that Kanye West is heading to the White House to meet with Donald Trump on Thursday, despite all the outrage over his support for the President.
"I’m proud of my husband. He’s going to the White House in a few days to go talk about the city of Chicago and to help with some really exciting things. … I’m really hopeful that the president listens and can make that happen," she told Extra.
'Ye wants to put his head together with the POTUS about manufacturing, prison reform and gang violence prevention, among other topics, but Kimmy K thinks he could use some coaching about how to get his points across.
"I’ll try to help him communicate it. I always say he might not be the best communicator, but he has the best heart and I know what he wants to accomplish. It will be amazing, and I can’t wait to see all that happen," she added.
So is the couple seriously considering moving back to the Windy City?
"I think so. We’ll have a few homes. We’ll go back and forth. But I think that’s happening," she revealed.

Make way for a little heir!
Prince Harry, 34, and Meghan Markle, 37, are "trying for a baby" five months after tying the knot, Us Weekly reports.
"They both want a big family, at least three kids,†a source dished to the mag.
If it doesn't happen right away, though, they're content to let fate take its course.
“The first few months of marriage have been even better than Harry imagined they could possibly be, and he falls more in love with Meghan with each and every day. He is so incredibly happy. After the initial post-wedding craziness, they are now finally settling into every day life, and starting to get their rhythm as a married couple, and they really are blissfully happy together," another source told Hollywood Life.
"Harry would love for them to have children together, but he really is in no hurry, and right now he’s loving having Meghan to himself. In an ideal world, Meghan would fall pregnant next year, but Harry feels under no pressure to start a family, and figures it will happen when it happens," the source added.

Good for her!
Jennifer Garner has stayed single for years while she navigated her divorce from Ben Affleck, but now that it's finalized, she's moving on with a new man.
"[Jen] started dating someone new. She’s ready to start the next phase of her life," a source dished to Us Weekly.
She wanted to wait until her ex was sober and more stable before exploring romance.
"Jen has been wanting to move on and now when the divorce is finalized, she finally can. She has had no choice but to be patient since Ben needed to finish his rehab treatment. But she was ready to sign the papers. Jen doesn’t want to be single for the rest of her life, so she is open to dating. She has been on dates, but it seems she isn’t serious about a guy. As always, she is mostly focused on her kids and her job," another source told People.
Whether she's "serious" with someone or not doesn't matter, Jen G's got her groove back!
