Melanie Griffith's Face Gets As Much Attention As The Drag Queens'

Melanie Griffith made an appearance at the 9th Annual Best in Drag Fundraiser in LA on Sunday, and she didn't have to do much to steal the spotlight away from the competing queens at the Orpheum Theater.

The 54-year-old actress looked slim in her leather jacket, white button-down and black cigarette skinny jeans, while her face looked a little ... uh, tight?

Mel admitted to getting collagen lip injections as well as a breast lift in 1991, after she gave birth to her second child Dakota (she has three kids). Though it appears she has had a face lift, she has denied getting that and liposuction.

Back in 1998, Melanie told the U.K.'s Mirror:

    "I have been thinking about plastic surgery just lately, but I'm not saying where. Turning 40 is difficult. I often think, 'If only someone could put a zip down the back of me and tighten everything up!'"


Makes you wonder what she's really had done some 13 years later!

David Boreanaz Says Cheating Helped His Marriage

Posted on Mon Oct 10th, 2011 11:00am PDT       By X17 Staff

BoreanazWife230.2.jpgBones star David Boreanaz opened up to the latest issue of TVWeek about his marriage -- and his 2010 affair with Rachel Uchitel.

The actor has some surprising things to say. He says the affair was "a bonding experience, in the long run" for him and wife Jaime Bergman. He continues:

    "In a sacred ground like marriage, you find yourself out of it at certain times for reasons unknown that can be destructive. There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you."


Boreanaz and Bergman (above), a former Playboy playmate, married in November 2001 after nine months of dating.

BradPittWorldWarZRaid230Watermark.jpgA SWAT team raided a Budapest warehouse holding weapons to be used in Brad Pitt's upcoming zombie movie, World War Z on Monday.

Police seized 85 weapons (left) -- all of which were still functioning with live ammunition. Most of the weapons were automatic, military-style assault rifles, including AK-47s and sniper rifles.

A police spokesperson called the arsenal "a disaster waiting to happen," and said a deadly accident could easily have occurred on set.

No word yet from Pitt's camp; his company, Plan B Entertainment, is producing the movie set for a December 2012 release.

The film, which has been shooting in Malta and London since this summer, includes large-scale disaster scenes involving hundreds of extras.

UPDATE: X17online spoke with a representative for Plan B Entertainment, who told us, "We are working with the authorities to resolve the matter and have no further comment at this time."

Beyonce Releases A Clip From Her New Music Video, "Love On Top"!

Posted on Mon Oct 10th, 2011 10:00am PDT       By X17 Staff



Beyonce Knowles released the music video for "Countdown" just last Thursday, but she's already giving us a sneak peak at her next one, "Love on Top." Beyonce recently revealed that she's due to give birth in February, but interestingly enough, there's no sign of her baby bump in this clip.

Essence reports that the new vid will be released this week, so perhaps it will take away some of the heat from the copycat controversy surrounding "Countdown"? As soon as the full video hit the web, Beyonce was accused of stealing dance moves from Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, who reportedly told a Danish blog that no one asked her permission to use the sequences. "I didn't know anything about it," De Keersmaeker said. "I'm not mad, but this is plagiarism."

And this isn't the first time Beyonce has been accused of stealing (er, heavily borrowing?) choreography! Back in May, Beyonce performed "Run the World (Girls)" at the Billboard Music Awards, and she was criticized for mimicking moves from one of Italian dancer Lorella Cuccarini's routines.

In case you missed it, click after the jump to check out the video for "Countdown", along with two clips of De Keersmaeker's moves.

Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie Donate $340,000 To Somali Relief Group

Posted on Mon Oct 10th, 2011 9:30am PDT       By X17 Staff

angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-230.jpgAngelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have donated $340,000 to the Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid, which helps provide healthcare for homeless children in Somalia.

The country is experiencing its worst famine in 60 years, and the United Nations reports that 750,000 people are at risk of starving to death over the next few months. Jolie has been a goodwill ambassador for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees since 2001, and when she attended the UN Refugee Agency Awards in Switzerland last week, she became emotional when she reflected on the work she's done over the past decade.

"Most of all I'm so grateful -- I don't want to cry -- to the refugee families that I have the honor and privilege to spend the last years with," she said. "From them I've learned so much. I've learned to be a better person, a better mother. They've inspired me by showing me the unbreakable strength of the human spirit."

Nicki Minaj Says She Had Suicidal Thoughts

Posted on Mon Oct 10th, 2011 8:30am PDT       By X17 Staff

CosmoNickiMinaj230.jpgNicki Minaj might be on top of her game, but she's revealing to the latest issue of Cosmopolitan that a few years ago, things were completely different.

"I kept having doors slammed in my face," the 28-year-old says. "I felt like nothing was working."

Minaj admits she felt so hopeless that she considered suicide:

    "It was just one dead end after another. At one point, I was, like, 'What would happen if I just didn't wake up?' That's how I felt. Like, 'Maybe I should just take my life?'"


But Minaj is much more confident now when predicting her future. "I will have put out five albums and will have an Oscar and Grammys," she says. "I will be getting married and, a couple of years after that, will have a bun in the oven. My whole life is about being Nicki Minaj now. It's a never-ending saga."
