This makes the whole situation even more tragic.

Bethenny Frankel and late boyfriend Dennis Shields secretly got engaged back in April, Us Weekly reports. The businessman popped the question to the SkinnyGirl mogul after four years of on-and-off dating, but she wasn't wearing the ring as to not attract attention.

"They were very back and forth. They were definitely making plans to move forward with things and trying to make it work. Dennis really loved her," a source dished to the mag.

Just five days before Shields overdosed at his Trump Tower apartment in NYC, he gushed about the reality star on the Listen Up Show With Mitchell Chadrow.

"She’s great. She’s a great mother. She’s a great person. She’s really, really smart. She is terrific in every way," he said.

"I’ve known Bethenny a very, very long time. I met her when we were both still in college, and my ex-wife [Jill Schwartzberg] and her were friends in high school. We remained friends the whole time that I was married — nothing but friends. And then right after Jill and I got separated, Bethenny and I started dating and we’ve been together on and off now for I think it was almost four years. That’s what she told me … but we do break up a lot," he added.

We can't even imagine the pain she's in right now.

 

EXCLUSIVE - Ben Affleck Goes Back To Rehab After Jennifer Garner Demands He Get Treatment In Order To See The Kids

Posted on Tue Aug 14th, 2018 9:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


We caught Ben Affleck heading to his Buddhist rehab center in West Hollywood yesterday, and we were wondering what's up since we haven't seen him there since January, but an insider just gave us the full scoop!

Apparently, Jen Garner recently demanded the actor recommit himself to treatment and sobriety, after she became worried that he was slipping back into old habits. She also issued an ultimatum - stay sober or you can't see the kids!

A source tells X17:
    "Jen got back from Sweden with the kids and didn’t like what she saw with Ben. When the kids aren’t around and Lindsay’s in New York, Ben sometimes isn’t as healthy as he should be. The very next monday, Ben was back in rehab.”


The Batman star is working off a Buddhist-based philosophy of treating his addictions. The center is "the premiere Buddhist informed addiction treatment center in the United States. Our treatment program utilizes a unique blend of Buddhist philosophy and evidence-based clinical approaches, including attachment theory and EMDR therapy. As clients move through our program they gain clarity and learn to take refuge in transformational practices, supportive community, and their own potential," according to the center's website.

Maybe this is why Ben and Jen's divorce is taking so long to finalize?

 

Kylie And Travis Spend Hours At The Jewelry Store Amid Wedding Rumors

Posted on Tue Aug 14th, 2018 8:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


Getting some important accessories, are we guys?

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott hit up Polachek jewelers in Calabasas yesterday afternoon, and the couple spent hours looking at baubles before leaving with a simple bag. Could they have been picking out wedding bands?

Rumors have been swirling that the rapper wants to walk down the aisle with the LipKit queen, and it would be the perfect ending to her whirlwind 21st birthday extravaganza!

A quickie wedding wouldn't be that unexpected from the spontaneous young billionaire, but her momager is hoping she takes her time!

“Kris is a little worried that Kylie might elope with Travis. He’s planning a special surprise for Kylie’s 21st birthday and Kris fears he might whisk Kylie off and marry her without any warning. Kris loves Travis and wants him as a son-in-law but she definitely wants to be there for the wedding," a source dished to Hollywood Life.

"Kris also wants to protect her billionaire daughter. She wants lots of advance notice of any wedding to get that prenup locked into place. The problem is Kylie’s very unpredictable and cannot be told what to do. If Travis asks her to elope for her birthday she may just say yes," the source added.

If we were him, we would have put a ring on it a long time ago!

Chill out, girl!

Halsey touched down at LAX after a flight from South Korea yesterday, and the singer was less than thrilled that her car wasn't on time to pick her up!

The chart topper shouted at photographers to stop taking her picture, and then gave the airport employee a mouthful about doing their job. Yikes!

The "Bad At Love" songstress has had a rough couple months following her breakup with G-Eazy, but it looks like they might be reconciling. Why do we think that, you ask? Well, he just Instagrammed a pic of himself getting a tattoo, and the ink looks A LOT like his ex!

Turn that frown upside down!

Report: Kim "Furious" Over Kanye's New Song About Sex With Her Sisters

Posted on Mon Aug 13th, 2018 1:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


We would be, too!

Kim Kardashian is more than a little pissed at Kanye over his new song “XTCY," because he raps about having sex with all of her sisters in the tune.

"You got sick thoughts? I got more of em’. You got a sister-in-law you would smash? I got four of em," the controversial verse goes.

Kimmy K is NOT amused!

"Kim was livid. He did not run the lyrics by any of them before he dropped the song. It really grossed them all out. The whole family was shocked that he would sexualize them like that," a source dished to Radar.

If our brother-in-law was fantasizing about us, we'd be a little creeped out! Then again, it's just 'Ye being 'Ye...

 

Bethenny Frankel Attends Boyfriend Dennis Shields' Funeral And Finally Breaks Her Silence Following His Overdose

Posted on Mon Aug 13th, 2018 10:51am PDT       By X17 Staff


This is so heartbreaking.

Bethenny Frankel attended her late on-and-off boyfriend Dennis Shields' funeral today in Long Island, and according to sources, the reality star is having trouble coping with his sudden passing.

“Bethenny has been struggling to make sense of Dennis’ death, and no matter how hard she tries she just can’t. For him to die that suddenly with no warning, at least that she’s aware of, it’s just unfathomable. Of course, Bethenny has wondered if she could have done anything to prevent his death, anybody would do the same in her situation, even though, rationally, she knows that she isn’t to blame," a source dished to Hollywood Life.

Cruel Internet trolls are blaming the SkinnyGirl mogul for Shields' death, saying that her recent comments about their relationship on Real Housewives of NYC pushed him over the edge.

"The press reports that the recent episode of Real Housewives might have tipped Dennis over the edge are ludicrous, and extremely hurtful to Bethenny. The show isn’t filmed in real time, so it’s not like her conversation about Dennis not being ‘Mr. Right’ would have come as a great shock to him. He knew exactly where he stood with Bethenny, and what the status of their relationship was, weeks ago," the insider explained.

"When people are grieving they often look for somebody to blame for the death of their loved one, and Bethenny is the obvious scapegoat here, but it’s totally unfair to put that on her. Things may have been complicated between Bethenny and Dennis, but she still loved him, and she utterly heartbroken and traumatized over his death," the source added.

Meanwhile, a new report says Shields death was accidental, that he would never have tried to take his own life and that he was on medication for back pain. Gregory Broccoli, a friend and colleague of Shields' for 20 years, tells Radar: "There's no way that this was intentional. It's impossible. There was too much on his agenda."

Frankel finally broke her silence after the memorial service, by posting this pic of Dennis and her beloved late dog Cookie. "Rest In Peace my sweet babies who gave me endless unconditional love. #nowandforever," she captioned the image.

Rest In Peace my sweet babies who gave me endless unconditional love. #nowandforever

Report: Justin Bieber And Hailey Baldwin Will Wait Until 2019 To Get Married

Posted on Mon Aug 13th, 2018 9:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


No quickie nuptials here!

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin aren't rushing down the aisle, even though they got engaged just a month after reconciling back in June.

TMZ reports the couple will wait until sometime next year to have a wedding, but it's not because they're unsure about their relationship. Actually, it's quite the opposite... they're very committed to each other, and see no reason to hurry, as they plan on being together forever.

The site says that even when JB was with Selena Gomez, he was tormented over his feelings for Hailey, and she was always in the back of his mind. Translation - he was in love with two women, and Hails eventually won him over.

"This is not a joke to him. He proposed because he truly feels Hailey is the love of his life. He had a rough time last year, but he worked very hard to change and find more meaning in his life. Hailey couldn’t make him happier," a source dished to People.

She must be over the moon to become Mrs. Bieber!

 

Khloe And Tristan Vacation In Mexico With Kendall And Ben Simmons

Posted on Mon Aug 13th, 2018 8:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


Everyone needs some R&R once and a while.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are currently on vacation with Kendall Jenner and her beau Ben Simmons in Mexico, and it looks like the whole group is enjoying their time south of the border.

Pix surfaced of the group relaxing by the pool, and partying it up in a Puerto Vallarta nightclub with family pal Joe Francis.

The Revenge Body star and her baby daddy couldn't keep their hands off each other and were kissing and cuddling, so she must not believe - or care! - about those reports that the NBA star was reportedly cheating on her again during a recent visit to Toronto.

"There was a woman in Tristan’s entourage and it wasn’t Khloe. They looked like more than friends because he had his hand on her lower back when they arrived. There was definitely something there," a source dished to Radar.

"She was a beautiful, young girl who looked as if she could be a model. She, along with one of his security detail, stayed in the locker room while he taught camp. He appeared to be in a hurry to get back to his female companion because he jetted out of the center the minute it was over," the source added.

Unfortunately, it sounds like it's going to take a very embarrassing public scandal to get the reality star to dump her unfaithful beau once and for all.

"She simply can’t cut the chord and always seems to find a way to talk herself out of leaving him, even though her head tells her all day every day that it’s not right. She even tried to pack her bags on numerous occasions and make arrangements to move in with her family, but when push comes to shove, she never goes through with it," an insider revealed.

Kenny might be the only one of the K clan that can tolerate spending time with Tristan these days!
