Give the girl a break!

Fergie has heard the criticism of her NBA All-Star game national anthem performance loud and clear, and she just wants everyone to know she put her all into the song.

"I’ve always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA. I’m a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best," she said in a statement to Us Weekly.

Behind the scenes, the Duchess was taken aback by the backlash.

"Neither Fergie nor her team thought anything was wrong with her national anthem rendition. That’s the way she sings a lot of her songs. She loves adding a little sexiness and being different with her riffs. It was meant to be jazz-inspired. She wanted to stand out," a source told the mag.

Perhaps hinting at the controversy and showing his support, ex Josh Duhamel shared a sweet message from their son Axl. “Love is so strong. Love cannot be broken. Love is so strong nobody can break it not even Hulk. – Axl Jack Duhamel," the message read.

You win some and you lose some!

Holy sh*t - get your earplugs ready. We love us some Fergie but what the hell happened last night?!

The Black Eyed Peas diva put down some crazy jazzy vocal strains with the National Anthem at the NBA All-Star game and basically NO ONE liked it ... probably not even her!

Whose idea was it to arrange the song this way?! Fergie could barely hit half the notes and the players' faces, the crowds' faces were left stunned, shocked, shooketh! Hear and see for yourself ... What do YOU think?

Poll

Did Fergie's version of the National Anthem suck?
Did Fergie's version of the National Anthem suck?

Yes it was horrible! What was she thinking?!

 

Speaking Of Wardrobe Malfunctions ...

Poor Gabriella Papadakis! The female half of the French ice dance duo suffered a serious wardrobe malfunction during their Monday night performance when her halter strap came undone, exposing her breast for a short period during the program.

Her partner Guillaume Cizeron tried to help repair the damage but the distraction cost them a few points and the pair ended in second place with a silver medal -- not bad considering ...

 

Kourtney, Kendall, And Larsa Show Some Skin For Sexy Night Out And Wardrobe Malfunctions Abound!

Posted on Mon Feb 19th, 2018 8:41am PDT       By X17 Staff


So much skin!

Sometimes intentional sexy can lead to unintentional sexy as was the case with Kourtney Kardashian and her BFF Larsa Pippen Sunday night. Kourtney could feel it coming, apparently, so she wore pasties with her LBD and as the opaque satin slipped down her chest to the sheer mesh, a black circle was visible, covering her nipple!

Meanwhile Larsa didn't seem to know the power of her own booty as her black leather micro-mini exposed one of her cheeks as she got in her car to leave. Oops!

Kendall Jenner showed off her model-thin frame in a pink feather bustier, accessorized with a Mona Lisa Louis Vuitton bag and Yeezy PVC heels. She escaped wardrobe disaster but probably by the skin of her teeth ... what if one of her loosely-tied spaghetti straps had come untied!

Good thing, too, because in last night's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the young model revealed she suffers from serious anxiety. She says, "Since I was a kid, I’ve always been a hypochondriac. I’ve always been the worst hypochondriac. But now I have to try and be a big girl ... There’s a lot that happened this past year, starting with like, Kim’s robbery. Then I got robbed, and I had my stalkers. That’s why I don’t really like going out anymore. That’s why I don’t tweet, that’s why I don’t Instagram. That gives me anxiety, too. I swear, it’s the craziest thing."

One thing she doesn't need is a wardrobe malfunction in front of a hoard of photographers! Whew!

Report: Jennifer Aniston And Brad Pitt Reunion Unlikely, They're "Totally Different People" Now

Posted on Fri Feb 16th, 2018 1:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Don't get your hopes up!

People are losing their minds over the possibility of Jennifer Aniston getting back together with Brad Pitt now that they're both single, but it sounds like it's unlikely to happen.

"They haven’t seen each other in ages. For well over a decade now they have lived totally separate lives and so not surprisingly, they have become totally different people than who they once were when they were together," a source dished to People.

"They broke up, and they did it because they had serious issues. They’re not stupid. They remember why it didn’t work. They’ve been over each other for longer than they were ever together. It is such ancient history. Now you add six kids on his side and each of them having their own assorted battle scars into the mix? Forget it. It’s not going to happen," the source added.

The former husband and wife still talk here and there, though.

"They aren’t in regular contact, beyond an occasional text back and forth to wish each other the best when there’s been a new project or big event,” the insider revealed.

And suddenly, our dreams were dashed!

 

Report: Behati Prinsloo Welcomes Baby #2 With Adam Levine

Posted on Fri Feb 16th, 2018 12:15pm PDT       By X17 Staff


There's another little lady in the family!

Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine have welcomed a baby girl named Geo Grace, multiple outlets are reporting. No other details, including the birth date or location, have been disclosed at this time.

The model and the singer are also parents to daughter Dusty Rose, born in September 2016. They've been married since 2014.

It doesn't sound like they plan on stopping at two kids, either!

“I want a lot [of kids], I thrive in chaos. [Prinsloo] was an only child, so she wants like 100 babies. I don’t know if I can do that. That’s a lot of babies," he told Ellen Degeneres last November.

Congrats guys!
