Daily Rap Wrap: Offset Gives It Up For Travis Scott's New Album; Trippie Redd Says His Dream Collab Would Be Kanye

Posted on Sun Aug 12th, 2018 9:09am PDT       By X17 Staff


We decided to do something a little different today and bring you two of our favorite musical talents here in one post ... a little rap wrap, if you will.

We caught up with Migos' Offset Friday on Fairfax Blvd. in LA, doing a little shopping at Aape and elsewhere and he was super-cool, answering questions about fatherhood and his new baby girl Kulture with wifey Cardi B, and he even weighed in on Travis Scott's new album Astroworld, which he called "hard."

Later in the day, we spotted Trippie Redd who was all too happy to comment on rival Tekashi 6ix9ine's diss of his new album Life's A Trip. See what he had to say ...

 

Ben And Jen Better Finalize Their Divorce ... ASAP!

Posted on Sun Aug 12th, 2018 7:53am PDT       By X17 Staff


After all the headlines, emotional morning-show interviews, hounding by the paparazzi, could Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner just give up on their divorce filing and stay married?!

That's what could happen if they don't seal the deal soon, according to an LA judge in charge of the matter. After ten years of marriage, the couple filed for divorce last year, but neither has shown up in court to handle the proceedings since then.

Garner received a third notice for case review Friday which says the divorce won't be final until a judgement is filed and entered -- that means Garner has to send a declaration of disclosure to Affleck and file that service with the court. If these things aren't done, the divorce is off! The court didn't give a deadline for this to happen, however, but the general rule is that if a divorce proceeding isn't diligently pursued within two years of filing, it's OFF!

Some speculate that Jen's taking it slow to piss of Ben because he's ready to tie the knot with his possibly-pregnant girlfriend Lindsay Shookus. That said, Lindsay's still gotta divorce her hubby Kevin Miller. Jeez! It's all so messy!

 

Travis Scott Gifts Kylie Jenner A Vintage Rolls Royce For Her 21st Birthday

Posted on Sat Aug 11th, 2018 8:52am PDT       By X17 Staff


That's a HYPE birthday present! Travis Scott may have topped his previous gift to baby mama Kylie Jenner, a $1.4 million Ferrari LaFerrari that the rapper gave to his lady as a push present following the birth of their child Stormi. Now, Scott has gifted Kylie with a vintage Rolls Royce for her 21st birthday and this ride is INSANE!

We think the real story here is Travis' adorable Snapchat of the big reveal, in which he says to Kylie, "I love you, Mommy, Stormi!" You've gotta watch it!

Bethenny Frankel's On-And-Off Boyfriend Dennis Shields Found Dead Of Suspected OD

Posted on Fri Aug 10th, 2018 12:35pm PDT       By X17 Staff

Bravo

Bethenny Frankel's on-and-off boyfriend Dennis Shields was found dead at his Trump Tower apartment this morning from a suspected overdose, The New York Post first reported.

The 51-year-old banker allegedly asked his assistant to administer Narcan, an emergency medication to reverse an opioid overdose, shortly before he lost consciousness. He was pronounced dead at the scene around 9am EST. Sources told the outlet he overdosed on the powerful painkiller OxyContin.

"We are all heartbroken. Dennis was, and will always be, the love of my life. His spirit lives on in our children. Please respect our family’s privacy at this time," his former wife Jill Shields said in a statement to People.

The SkinnyGirl founder and Shields first began dating in 2016, before breaking up and getting back together numerous times. He made multiple appearances on Real Housewives of NYC, and was a fixture in the reality star's life even when they weren't together romantically.

Frankel has yet to issue a statement on the heartbreaking news.

 

Kanye Chats About Porn, Donald Trump, and Being Bipolar On Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Posted on Fri Aug 10th, 2018 11:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


He's certainly an open book!

Kanye West appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night and talked about everything from porn to his love for Donald Trump, and we have a feeling the Kardashian clan was cringing as they watched.

The rapper expanded on why he likes the POTUS, and went into detail about why he isn't afraid to let it be known.

"As a musician, African American, guy out in Hollywood, all these different things — you know, everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me. And then told me every time I said liked Trump that I couldn’t say it out loud or my career would be over. I’d get kicked out of the black community because blacks, we are supposed to have a monolithic thought, we can only be Democrats and all," he explained.

For this reason, he chose to wear a "Make America Great Again" hat and post the pic on social media.

"It represented overcoming fear and doing what you felt, no matter what anyone said. Liberals can’t bully me; news can’t bully me; the hip-hop community, they can’t bully me. Because at that point, if I’m afraid to be me, I’m no longer Ye. That’s what makes Ye. And I actually quite enjoy when people actually are mad at me about certain things," he added.

The topic of conversation then switched to mental illness and Yeezus' battle with bipolar disorder.

"I think it’s important for us to have open conversations about mental health. Especially with me being black. Because we never had therapists in the black community. We never approached, like, taking medication,” West said. “I think it’s good when I had my first complete blackout at age 5, my mom didn’t fully medicate me. Because I might have never been Ye," he revealed.

By far the most awkward part of this sit-down was when the late night host put KW on the spot about Trump's immigration policies and separation of families at the border. Or maybe it was when Kimmy K's husband admitted he loves watching black-on-white porn?

This interview is so all over the place, you've gotta watch the whole thing!

 

Will Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine Go To Jail?

Posted on Fri Aug 10th, 2018 10:55am PDT       By X17 Staff


It looks like it!

Tekashi 6ix9ine is facing up to three years in prison for a sex video he posted of a 13-year-old back in 2015. The rapper was hauled into court on Thursday for breaking his probation by getting arrested twice, once for choking a 16-year-old back in January and another time for unlicensed driving in May.

The Soundcloud star pled guilty to Use of a Child in a Sexual Performance, because the underage girl was filmed performing oral sex on his friend while he simulated sex with her from behind.

As punishment, he was ordered to obtain his GED and not commit another crime for two years, which he couldn't do. If he had, he would have been given probation for three years and not have to register as a sex offender.

Way to blow it, bro!

 

Khloe And Kim "Dream" About Kourtney And Scott Getting Back Together

Posted on Fri Aug 10th, 2018 9:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


Sofia Richie might want to look away now!

Kim and Khloe were feeling nostalgic last night at Kylie Jenner's birthday dinner, and they couldn't help but post about how they wish Kourtney and Scott would just get back together. The exes sat next to each other at the table and kept it cordial, but it didn't look like there was much flirting going on.

"A girl can dream," Khloe wrote on a photo of the pair. She might be dreaming for a good while, because apparently the mother-of-three has no desire to reconcile with her baby daddy.

"Kourtney will never get back with Scott. She’s happy that he’s doing well and spending a lot of time with the kids. She’s happy about co-parenting with Scott, but that’s it," a source dished to People.

As for her breakup with Younes Bendjima?

"It didn’t end well. As soon as their long European vacation was over, they started having problems. Younes was in L.A. recently, and things were not great. He and Kourtney didn’t get along. They decided to take a break, but were not officially over. Now with the pictures of Younes in Mexico, they are definitely not getting back together. Kourtney doesn’t play games. She seems okay with [the breakup]. Younes was always supposed to be a rebound," the source added.

We're wondering if Sofia gave him strict rules to abide by when they were at Best Buy earlier in the day?

 

Kylie Jenner Celebrates Her 21st Birthday With A Blowout Bash

Posted on Fri Aug 10th, 2018 8:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


A bash fit for a billionaire!

Kylie Jenner celebrated her 21st birthday last night with a blowout soiree at Delilah in Hollywood, and the whole Kardashian came, as well as celebrity guests including Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Bella Hadid, French Montana, and The Weeknd.

The whole place was decorated in pink, and there was a ball pit, photo booth, and surprise performance from both Travis Scott and Dave Chappelle. Guests were gifted customized denim jackets, and the pink champagne flowed as all her nearest and dearest hit the dance floor.

Kim brought Kanye along, and Kendall attended with beau Ben Simmons, but Scott Disick ditched girlfriend Sofia Richie for the night.

"All of the girls were drinking together. Everyone was letting lose and having a great time. Even Kim was drinking and everyone was surprised," a source dished to E! News.

"Kanye and Kim were kissing and holding hands the entire night. They were super affectionate. Kanye didn't keep her out of sight and was super protective. They didn't leave each other's sides. Kim was grabbing him while dancing to the music and seemed super happy," the source added.

Caitlyn Jenner was there with her rumored girlfriend Sophia Hutchins, but the whole K clan basically ignored her, other than her biological daughters. Ouch!

Where was our invite?

BIRTHDAY BEHAVIOR! WERE ALL TURNING 21!!
