Kanye Boycott Picks Up Steam With #MuteKanye Following Rapper Calling Slavery A "Choice"

Posted on Fri May 4th, 2018 2:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff


The backlash has begun!

Kanye's controversial comments about slavery being a "choice" has angered the public, radio DJ's, celebrities, and everyone in between. In fact, the hashtag #MuteKanye is trending, and people want society to basically turn their backs on him and refuse to give him any more attention.

"How do we get @kanyewest removed from all the streaming services?!?! He won't know how WRONG he is until he feels it and no one listens to him!!!" one Twitter user wrote.

"#MuteKanye I need everyone to keep this same energy when new yeezys & the album drop He won't be getting a dime of my money.. but he never has anyway so. Stop buying his shoes, stop streaming his music, stop going to his concerts...he is out of touch with reality and the millions of fans that have supported him! It's time for his peers to do the same #BlackoutKanyeWest #MuteKanye,' another added.

A petition is also going around to have Adidas drop their sports partnership with 'Ye, and it already has over 13,000 signatures. That said, the company is standing by him.

"We neither comment or speculate on every single comment that our external creators are making. Kanye has been and is a very important part of our strategy and has been a fantastic creator. And that's why I'm going to leave it. I'm not going to comment on every comment that he or someone else is making," Adidas AG Chief Executive Officer Kasper Rorsted said in a statement to Bloomberg News.

The Louis Vuitton Don better be careful!

 

Report: Khloe Kardashian And Tristan Thompson Are "Fully Back Together"

Posted on Fri May 4th, 2018 1:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff


She doesn't need to work on her revenge body, because she's not going to dump him!

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are "fully back together" following his explosive cheating scandal, Us Weekly reports.

"[Khloe] feels the whole world is against Tristan. No one in her world is supporting Tristan and she’s still in love with him," a source dished to the mag.

Although the reality star has seen all the photos and videos of the NBA player being unfaithful with over five different women, she's chosen to forgive him for his indiscretions.

"Those around Khloé are trying to be as supportive to her as they can. It’s hard because if everyone distances themselves from Tristan, they’ll risk losing Khloé. Luckily there’s this buffer time. She always planned to stay in Cleveland the first three months. Now with Tristan in the playoffs for possibly another month, no decision needs to be made right now," the source added.

The couple were spotted out to lunch together the other day in Cleveland and TMZ obtained footage of the on-again parents ...

 

Blac Chyna Sues Kylie Jenner, Claiming The LipKit Mogul's Reality Show Stole Her Spot On E! And Cost Her Lost Wages

Posted on Fri May 4th, 2018 11:55am PDT       By X17 Staff


Is she serious?!

Blac Chyna is suing Kylie Jenner, and claiming that the LipKit mogul's reality series Life of Kylie stole the Rob & Chyna spot on E! and cost her lost wages.

"The money paid to defendants for their services on Life of Kylie was acquired through the unlawful means of intentionally interfering with her contract for a second season of Rob & Chyna," the documents read according to The Blast.

This latest tid bit is part of the ongoing lawsuit BC has launched against Kylie, Kris, Kim, Rob, and Khloe for torpedoing her TV deal. She maintains that a second season of Rob & Chyna had already begun filming, but after her breakup with Rob and the drama that ensued, the K clan worked to sabotage her business dealings.

"Reality television thrives on colorful personalities engaging in conflict. If anything, the E! network saw more potential in a second season given the success of season one and the new, unpredictable co-parenting relationship between Chyna and Rob," the lawsuit states.

"The unwritten rule no one told (her) when she began her relationship with Kardashian is that the entire family will come after you if you leave, using their fame, wealth and power to take you down, including getting your television show cancelled (despite great ratings), spreading lies about you, and even funding a bogus lawsuit about a crumbled gingerbread house," it was added.

She's just mad she can't piggy back on the Kardashian fame anymore!

 

Gigi And Bella Kill It On The Catwalk For Chanel

Posted on Fri May 4th, 2018 11:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


These supermodel siblings are taking over!

Gigi and Bella Hadid worked the runway like true pros at the Chanel cruise show in Paris yesterday, and if her recent Vogue Italia blackface controversy was bothering her, G certainly didn't show it as she strutted her stuff in the name of fashion.

In other news, rumors are flying that the stunner and ex Zayn Malik are back together following a brief split after they were spotted making out in NYC , but it's not as cut and dry as it sounds.

"Zayn really wants to be with [Gigi] and has made it clear. He misses her and can't stand being apart. Gigi's a little bit more hesitant. They broke up because it wasn't working and nothing has really changed. She does love him, but she isn't completely sure this is where she wants to be right now. They are both so busy with their careers and traveling the world. It makes it very difficult to be in a relationship," a source dished to E! News.

"They aren't officially back together but they are talking and hanging out. They both needed the space to clear their heads. Zayn reached out to Gigi after a week and they decided to see each other and see how things go. No love was ever lost between them," the source added.

One couple that IS rock solid? Kristen Stewart and Stella Maxwell! The actress attended the show to watch her Victoria's Secret lady love at work. She must feel proud to have such hot arm candy!

 

Kanye Raps About His Opioid Addiction On Travis Scott's New Song "Watch"

Posted on Fri May 4th, 2018 10:00am PDT       By X17 Staff



He's ready to come clean!

Kanye West raps about his opioid addiction in Travis Scott's new song "Watch," and it sounds like he really struggled with prescription pills before his 2016 mental breakdown and hospitalization.

"Wanna know how pain feels? I got off my main pills / Bet my wifey stay close, she know I’m on my Bezos/ Opioid addiction, pharmacy’s the real trap / Sometimes I feel trapped, Jordan with no Phil Jack," one of his verses goes.

Kylie Jenner does the outro on the track, too!

"We got bust down Rollies, bust down Rollies / And I told him I wanted to have a bust down baby,” the LipKit queen says as the tune fades out.

Apparently, 'Ye's experience made him so gun-shy of popping pills, he's now decided he's going drug-free, whether his doctors and his family like it or not, and that's what's contributed to a lot of his recent controversial comments.

"He’s refused to take his meds, and that’s where he’s been, for the last couple of weeks leading into last week, so almost a month now that it’s been. It’s sad," a source dished to People.

At least he doesn't have to hide this secret anymore!

 

Britney Spears And Boyfriend Sam Asghari Show Off Their Impressive Workout Skills

Posted on Fri May 4th, 2018 9:05am PDT       By X17 Staff


Why exercise alone when you can do it together?!

Britney Spears and boyfriend Sam Asghari showed off their couples workout in a new Instagram video, and it looks like the fitness trainer is doing most of the heavy lifting, with Brit Brit on his back!

The pop princess is in the best shape of her life, but a new report claims she's gotten a little too obsessed over her body ever since she started dating her buff beau.

"Britney looks amazing and she’s got her best body ever, but she’s letting her obsession with diet and fitness rule her life to an unhealthy degree. She’s so self-conscious and can’t go five seconds without talking about cleanses or weight training," a source told Radar.

"It’s as if she’s on a weird mission to constantly look picture perfect. She’s always scrutinizing her reflection in the mirror and sometimes takes 50 photos before she’ll post one to Instagram. People are happy that Britney is taking care of herself, but now it’s getting in the way of her having fun," the source added.

We say if you've got it, flaunt it girl!

 

Kris Jenner Talks Kanye And Khloe On Ellen

Posted on Fri May 4th, 2018 8:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


There is certainly no shortage of topics to discuss!

Kris Jenner dropped by to chat with Ellen Degeneres on her daytime talk show, and she couldn't get around addressing the recent behavior of son-in-law Kanye West, or the heartbreaking cheating scandal daughter Khloe is caught up in.

The TV funny lady cut right to the chase, and gave the momager the opportunity to say her piece.

"We’re going to get this out of the way. There is so much going on right now. Two questions: What’s going on and is he okay? Those are my questions," Ellen said.

"You know, Kanye has a lot of love for all of you, all of his fans, and everybody who’s been there to support him forever. And, I know that he will explain himself in his own way. And, I think that anything he does – and I just think this is important to say is – he always does things with really good intentions. So, I’m going to let him explain himself when the time is ready and… I just keep rolling on. Trying to keep up," the K clan matriarch responded.

“People have often said to me, ‘Do you guys have scripts? What are you doing? What are you going to say?’ And I go, ‘What am I going to say?’ I wake up and I need a vodka. You know it’s like, I can’t keep up," she added.

When talk turned to Khloe and how she's doing since finding out Tristan Thompson cheated on her throughout her entire pregnancy, Kris fought back tears as she tried to answer.

"I’m so proud of that kid. I get choked up because she’s such a good mom and honestly I get so emotional. I was in Cleveland last week, it was snowing, and she was all nestled in the nursery and the baby. She’s just concentrating on that, just being a mom, her baby and that’s what her sisters are doing as well. She’s so excited about motherhood and trying to get the nursing thing down, which is a little tricky. She’s trying, she’s really trying. That was a little bit tricky when I was there. She’s figuring it out one day at a time, she’s just the best mom already. That baby is so cute, little True," she explained.

KJ basically shied away from discussing the infidelity, but did hint at it while detailing how they rallied around Khloe in the wake of the bombshell news.

"I think we do what we always do and that’s spring into action with love. We all hopped on a plane and flew to Cleveland because that’s what we know to do. I’m there to support my kids no matter what happens. I just do the best I can, just like anybody else would for their family. There’s a lot of us and we all get together and we do things together and we’re a force to be reckoned with," she noted.

We bet Ryan Seacrest could never have dreamed of such juicy story lines when he gave them a reality show way back when!

 

Gigi Hadid Fights Back After Being Accused Of "Blackface" On The Cover Of Vogue Italia

Posted on Thu May 3rd, 2018 2:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff


In our humble opinion, people are getting really carried away with this!

An overly bronzed Gigi Hadid graces the cover of the newest Vogue Italia, and fans are taking to social media to slam the images, claiming that the supermodel looks unrecognizable and appears to be doing "blackface."

"THAT's Gigi Hadid? I could have sworn it was Beyonce. Guess it's the blackface they gave her," one user wrote. "Photoshop fail! How about instead of altering her face, they just hire a black model instead?" another posted.

The cat walker heard the criticism loud and clear, and took to Instagram to defend herself.

"This is a photo of me returning home from shooting my Italian Vogue cover on April 3rd…you can see the level I had been bronzed to on set that day. Please understand that my control of a shoot 1. is non existent in terms of creative direction. 2. ends completely when I leave set, and anything done to a photo in post if out of my control fully. The bronzing and photoshop is a style that S. Klein has done for many years and I believe was what was expected from the shoot (to show me in a different way creatively), BUT, although I understand what Vogue Italia's intentions were, it was not executed correctly, and the concerns that have been brought up are valid," she wrote.

"I want to address this for those who were offended by the editing/retouching/coloring of the cover. Please know that things would have been different if my control of the situation was different. Regardless, I want to apologize because my intention is never to diminish those concerns or take opportunities away from anyone else, and I hope this can be an example to other magazines and teams in the future," she continued.

"There are real issues regarding representation in fashion—it's our responsibility to acknowledge those issues and communicate through them to work towards a more diverse industry," she concluded.

Since when is art supposed to be taken so seriously?! This all doesn't seem to be upsetting Gigi too much, though, because we caught her out in Paris this afternoon with sister Bella just going about her day and living her life, as she should.
