They're taking this commitment seriously.
Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin dropped by their pastor's house yesterday afternoon, and the couple has been taking their premarital counseling very seriously ever since they got engaged. The pair don't plan on tying the knot until 2019, but they want to make sure they're good and ready when they finally walk down the aisle.
A lot of people were shocked when The Biebs popped the question to the model after just a couple months of on-again dating, and one of those people was his ex Selena Gomez, but the "Come & Get" songstress has reportedly never been happier after closing the door on their romance.
"Selena’s on-again, off-again relationship with Justin left her a nervous wreck. Now that she’s accepted that it’s over for good, she actually feels relieved to close that chapter of her life. For the first time in years, she feels free," a source dished to Life & Style.
"She’s distanced herself from her old Hollywood life and the fake friends that came with it. She only surrounds herself with genuine people who love her for who she is. Selena has grown up a lot and feels so much more comfortable in her own skin," the source added.
Hailey probably wants to make sure JB's feelings for Selena are truly gone before she becomes Mrs. Bieber!

Lucky break!
Real Housewives of New York star Luann De Lesseps just struck a plea deal for her drunken Christmas Eve arrest, and the reality star managed to escape jail time despite some pretty serious charges.
TMZ reports she plead guilty to battery, trespassing and disorderly intoxication, and agreed to the court's terms. The Bravo star will have to do 50 hours of community service, in addition to attending two AA meetings a week and abstaining from drugs and alcohol. She will also be randomly drug tested throughout her yearlong probation.
The Countess reached completed her second 30-day stint in rehab, so hopefully she's learned her lesson!

Just call her super woman!
Jennifer Garner looked like a total knockout on the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie Peppermint last night, and you'd never in a million years be able to tell that this is a woman who has been dealing with quite a lot in the past week.
The actress forced ex Ben Affleck into rehab just one week ago, and apparently the situation was more dire than many people realized.
"Ben had been drinking alone for days. He was in bad shape. He had barely been eating and had not showered. It didn’t take much convincing. He wanted to go, and he cooperated," a source dished to People about the days leading up to the Oscar winner's intervention.
"He’s battled addiction for a long time now. He was constantly working on himself, but after his breakup with Lindsay he went into a darker and darker place until he had to reach out for help," the source added.
She makes balancing a career with motherhood and many life challenges look effortless!

She didn't say no!
We caught Hailey Baldwin grabbing lunch with a female pal in Beverly Hills today, and our videographer was brave enough to flat out ask the model if she was pregnant! There have been rumors swirling around for weeks that the blonde beauty and Justin Bieber are secretly expecting, so we thought we might as well be direct with our question!
JB recently lost his temper when a paparazzo asked him if he popped the question because Hails had a bun in the oven, but it came on the heels of the couple's crying episode in NYC, which many fans think was over a possible miscarriage.
A source tells X17:
"Both Justin and Hailey want to be young parents, so they're definitely going to start a family soon. They're both deeply religious, and think there's nothing more beautiful than a baby born out of two people's pure love for each other. It would be a gift from God, and they've both been praying for it."
A baby Biebs is going to be the cutest thing ever!

He's an open book.
Pete Davidson discussed everything from his battle with mental illness to his recent engagement to Ariana Grande in Variety's annual Power of Young Hollywood issue, and the most shocking confession was that he tried to take his own life in the pool at a young age!
"I’ve been in and out of mental health facilities since I was 9. I tried to drown myself in the pool when I was in the fourth or fifth grade. I was trying to get my head stuck in the ladder in the deep end, so I would not be able to get up," he admitted.
Losing his firefighter father in 9/11 totally changed the course of his life.
"If my dad didn’t die, I wouldn’t be a comic. I’d be a construction worker in Staten Island or a basketball coach. I learned what death was. To learn how anything can just be taken away from you early gave me this sense of ‘F— it. Whatever, dude.’ I’m able to do stand-up and f— around because hopefully the worst thing that has ever happened to me happened," he revealed.
Turning to a happier subject, he explained how he popped the question to Ariana Grande, and how grateful he feels to have found his soulmate.
"I didn't want to do something corny. We were in bed hanging, after watching a movie. I was like, 'Will you marry me?' It was really dope," he gushed.
"I'm still convinced she's blind or hit her head really hard. Something is going to happen, and she's going to be like, "What the f— is this thing doing around?" For right now, it's rocking. I never thought I'd meet anyone like her. I can't even put into words how great of a person she is. I could cry. She's the f*cking coolest, hottest, nicest person I've ever met. I'm f*cking living the goddamn dream. I feel like I'm living in a fantasyland," he added.

The longtime co-stars are back together!
Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler held hands while strolling through the streets of Milan filming their upcoming Netflix comedy Murder Mystery, and this is probably the only time a guy has come within 10 feet of the Friends star and not been accused of dating her!
The flick is centered around a couple accused of murdering a billionaire, and it's already getting major buzz, much to the annoyance of none other than Angelina Jolie! According to reports, Angie isn't thrilled that Brad's other ex is moving over to Netflix, since she thought she was the queen of the streaming network after releasing First They Killed My Father.
Jen and Adam previous co-starred together in Just Go With It, and they're friends offscreen too. In fact, they recently dropped by George and Amal Clooney's Lake Como villa for a dinner party after they wrapped on set!

Wow! Just wow!
Rose McGowan has broken her silence on pal and fellow #MeToo activist Asia Argento's sexual assault scandal, and she's basically forfeiting their friendship in the name of justice.
The Charmed star revealed that her partner Rain Dove was told by Argento that she had indeed had sex with underage co-star Jimmy Bennett, and so Dove decided to give McGowan the heads up before going to authorities with the information.
Argento has issued a series of denials ever since the New York Times piece came out, and McGowan just wants her to come clean with her misconduct, rather than lying and covering it up like their shared nemesis Harvey Weinstein did.
Here's McGowan's full statement:
"I would first of all like to start off this statement saying thank you for your patience. A lot of people have been demanding answers and a response to the recent events surrounding Asia Argento’s sexual assault case. Many people believe that because we have been close in each other’s lives over the past year that perhaps I am affiliated with this incident or being complicit. I am not.
I first met Asia on a red carpet, but it’s only been the past year through our shared experience of the HW case that we have bonded. Asia was a person who understood my trauma in a way that many others didn’t. We were able to talk through them together and champion each other’s voices. We even got matching dot tattoos! Something I had posted on my IG just about a month ago. It’s no secret to anyone that Im a blunt, candid, brazen individual vocally- and I think that’s what I really related to Asia the most with. They were edgy, confrontational, and strong willed with very little care about how much other’s liked or disliked them. Rare things to find in women in this industry or the world.
But then everything changed. In an instant. I received a phone call and series of messages from the being I’ve been dating- Rain Dove. They said that they had been texting with Asia and that Asia had revealed that she had indeed slept with Jimmy Bennet. Rain also shared that Asia had stated that she’d been receiving unsolicited nudes of Jimmy since he had been 12. Asia mentioned in these texts that she didn’t take any action on those images. No reporting to authorities, to the parents, or blocking of Jimmy’s social media. Not even a simple message “Don’t send me these images. They are inappropriate.†There were a few other details revealed as well that I am not at liberty to mention in this statement as investigators do their job.
Rain Dove said that they were going to go to the police with these texts once we were done speaking no matter what. But that they wanted me to be aware of them so that I may be able to take further actions. I responded with “You have to. You must.†I wasted no time. It wasn’t hard to say or support. What was hard was the shell shock of the realisation that everything the MeToo movement stood for was about to be in jeopardy. An hour after our conversation was finished Rain Dove confirmed that they had turned over the texts and were in conversation with officers. Almost 48 hours later the texts were in the press.
I had introduced Rain Dove to Asia Argento last month, three days after the passing of Anthony Bourdain. I was with Asia to comfort and support her. Rain Dove came to support us both. It was an emotionally chaotic time and Rain Dove suggested we go to Berlin for a couple days to take the mourning out of Asia’s home and into a neutral space. So we did. While in Berlin Asia had mentioned that she was being extorted for a large sum of money every month by someone who was blackmailing them with a provocative image. No one in the room knew who the extortionist was. Now we know it to be a reference to this case.
Rain Dove continued on communicating with Asia occasionally after meeting her- and their conversations have been their own. I know Rain is a person to whom many high profile entities consult when they are experiencing social pressures because Rain is good at guiding them through the research confrontation, rehabilitation, and solution process. While they are a person who is good at keeping a secret for those dedicated to making things right- they are also justice driven. So it was not a surprise to me that I received that call and the messages from them. I’ve referred to Asia in the past as “My Ride or Die†and said very clearly that their friendship comes first. I know that coming to me with those messages must have been hard for Rain because of that so I commend them for their bravery.
To the people who have checked in with me to see if I’m alright- the answer is thank you and Yes. I’ll be fine. Its sad to lose a friend connection, but whats even more sad is what happened to Jimmy Bennet. Whether or not the extortion case is true- it wasn’t fair and it wasn’t right. It is the type of thing I fight against alongside so many. The reason I haven’t released a statement is because I’ve frankly been extremely humbled by this event. I had to take a step back and realise that in my own activism while I fight hard with passion- I need to evolve. In the past I have been occasionally angry. As a victim I was justified in fiery feelings. But I know that those accused are the friends, parents, and family members of other people. There absolutely should be no leeway or tolerance for sexual assault. Hard stop. NONE. Victims also shouldn’t be told how they should react or what they should say about their abusers. However as allies to the victim and voyeurs of an event we should find a better way to balance support of the victim with due process for the accused. I’ve never claimed to be perfect. This week especially has made me come to terms with the fact that we all have a lot of growing to do, including myself.
At this current moment it may be easy to focus on the drama of the situation. The conspiracy. But the real focus should be on supporting justice. Supporting honesty. And supporting each other. We can not let this moment break the momentum of a movement that has freed so many people. We must use it to allow us to become stronger. More compassionate. More aware. And More organised.
Asia you were my friend. I loved you. You’ve spent and risked a lot to stand with the MeToo movement. I really hope you find your way through this process to rehabilitation and betterment. Anyone can be be better- I hope you can be, too. Do the right thing. Be honest. Be fair. Let justice stay its course. Be the person you wish Harvey could have been."

She's giving us major Barbie vibes!
Kylie Jenner put her perky boobs on display in a white crop top and pink leather pants to promote her newest LipKit collection on Instagram, and it certainly got everyone's attention!
"Just wrapped shooting my new collection with @jordynwoods dropping next month. Can't wait for [you] guys to see this!" she captioned the photos.
She looks unbelievable, but did she do something to her face? We've been noticing lately that her eyes are a bit wonky, almost as if she got some bad injections.
As if she wasn't busy enough, the young billionaire just signed up to be the new Adidas ambassador, joining sister Kendall and brother-in-law Kanye.
