Grammy Nominations Announced, Jay-Z Leads The Pack

Posted on Tue Nov 28th, 2017 8:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's almost here!

Grammy nominations were announced this morning, and Recording Academy President Neil Portnow must have heard the cries about the lack of diversity at the award show, because this year it's quite a grab bag of different musicians up for the big categories.

Jay-Z leads the pack with eight nods for his album 4:44, and Kendrick Lamar follows closely behind with seven of his own. Both rappers are vying for Album of the Year, which should create a little friendly competition!

Justin Bieber is in the running for Song of the Year for his Spanish hit "Despacito," as is Bruno Mars for "That's What I Like."

Kesha should be happy with her comeback, as her tune "Pray" is up for Best Solo Pop performance and her album for Best Pop Vocal Album. Take that, Dr. Luke!

The 60th Grammy Awards will take place at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Sunday Jan. 28. The telecast will be broadcast live on CBS at 7:30 p.m. EST.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Sit Down For Their First Post-Engagement Interview

Posted on Mon Nov 27th, 2017 2:05pm PDT       By X17 Staff


We're so excited for this wedding we can barely stand it!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sat down for their first interview together just hours after announcing their engagement, and they shared details of the proposal, their courtship, the ring, and everything else everybody wants to know about!

The royal popped the question to his lady love earlier this month during a cozy night in while roasting a chicken. How very British!

"It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got down on one knee. As a matter of fact, I could barely let you finish proposing. I said, 'Can I say yes now?'" Markle revealed. "There was hugs and I had the ring in my finger. I was like, 'Can I give you the ring?' She goes, 'Oh, yes! The ring!' It was a really nice moment. It was just the two of us, and I think I managed to catch her by surprise as well," Harry added.

So how did they first meet? On a blind date set up by a mutual pal!

"I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw her. There she was sitting there. I thought 'I'm going to have to up my game,'" Harry gushed. They had only been on two dates before he invited her to join him on a camping trip in Botswana.

"Then we were really by ourselves, which was crucial to me, to make sure that we had a chance to get to know each other," he revealed. "We were able to really have so much time just to connect, and we never went longer than two weeks without seeing each other, even though we were obviously doing a long-distance relationship. We made it work," Markle noted.

The prince wishes his late mother Princess Diana could have met his bride, but he knows that she would absolutely approve.

"They'd be thick as thieves, without question. I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, so excited for me but then, as I said, would've probably been best friends with Meghan. It is days like today when I really miss having her around and miss being able to share the happy news, but with the ring and with everything else that's going on I'm sure she's with us, jumping up and down somewhere else," he said.

They are so cute together!

Sunday brunch #modernfamily

A post shared by Gwyneth Paltrow (@gwynethpaltrow) on


There's certainly no bad blood between all of them!

Gwyneth Paltrow isn't your average woman and doesn't do things the normal way, and she proved that by brunching with ex Chris Martin and new fiance Brad Falchuck.

"Sunday brunch #modernfamily," she captioned an Instagram of her former and current love acting all cozy. we've gotta hand it to the Coldplay frontman for being so cool with this!

The Glee producer recently popped the question to the Goop queen after more than three years of dating.

"They both knew it would happen, but it wasn’t a big thing to them because they were both in long marriages before. There wasn’t a rush," a source dished to Us Weekly.

The father of her children, however, is still single, after brief romances with Jennifer Lawrence and British actress Annabelle Wallis. Rumors swirled recently that he was getting cozy with Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson, so we'll have to wait and see if that turns into a real relationship.

We can't even begin to imagine how over-the-top Gwyneth's wedding is going to be!

Of course they saved it for the show!

The Kardashian holiday special gave us our biggest confirmation yet that Khloe and Kylie are indeed pregnant, but unfortunately it didn't give us a glimpse at their baby bellies!

Kris Jenner couldn't help but gush about her expanding empire brood in one scene.

“I used to pray that one of you guys would have a baby and now it’s like a faucet that we turned on that won’t turn off," she told Kylie. "The fact that I have all these grandchildren. It’s been the most amazing journey to watch your kids — because it’s truly the meaning of just life," she added.

We shouldn't hold our breath for too many details about the LipKit queen's pregnancy, as it's been reported that she plans to stay in hiding until after the baby is born.

"Kylie wants to disappear and be out of the spotlight and focus on her health and happiness. Kylie isn’t going to publicly address her pregnancy until she gives birth. She’s not doing any public appearances and just wanted to take six months off," a source dished to People.

“Kylie is only trusting her closest friends and her sisters right now. She wants to reveal things on her own terms but she’s, of course, having fun teasing everyone. She knows all the attention is on her and her baby bump, but she won’t share until she wants to," the source added.

We can't wait until their new cash cows arrive!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Ashley Olsen Steps Out With Her New Boyfriend

Posted on Mon Nov 27th, 2017 10:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


This guy's a lot more age appropriate than her last beau!

Ashley Olsen stepped out for breakfast with her new boyfriend at the Brentwood country mart over the weekend, and we're dying to know who this guy is! The fashion designer split from 58-year-old financier Richard Sachs this past March, and has been single up until now. We can't say we're the biggest fan of his Birkenstocks, but other than that he's cute!

Her sister Mary-Kate is happily married to Olivier Sarkosy, and it has made Ash even more eager to find her own prince charming.

"All of Ashley’s friends really want her to find someone to settle down with. She dates guys she meets through work and events, but they’re all casual. She’s definitely ready for something serious," a source dished to Us Weekly.

This dude doesn't seem like her type!

 

EXCLUSIVE - Ben Affleck Introduces Girlfriend Lindsay Shookus To Jen Garner!

Posted on Mon Nov 27th, 2017 9:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


They're making this modern family thing work!

Ben Affleck took his mistress-turned-girlfriend Lindsay Shookus to meet his ex Jen Garner on Saturday, and it seems to have gone off without a hitch! The lovebirds hit up Farm Shop in Brentwood around 4pm for a late afternoon bite, and then headed over to Jen's pad in the Pacific Palisades for a sit-down. Our sources tell us the trio hung out for about an hour, and everything was quite friendly considering the circumstances!

Our source tells us:
    "Ben and Lindsay looked so happy to finally be making their relationship legit with Jen. They've had to tiptoe around and Jen has resisted having the kids hang out with Lindsay. Ben was dressed up and seemed to really want to make a good impression on Jen — like how clean and healthy he looks. Lindsay looked a little nervous but was getting support from Ben."

We're surprised the A-list actress was cool with this, considering Ben left her for the SNL producer after she discovered they had been having a three year affair!

While the Batman star is happily coupled up, his estranged wife is content with focusing on their brood.

"I haven’t been on a date and I am not interested in dating. People want to set me up and I am just like, 'No thank you!' I would not have chosen this life for myself or for my kids. I would not choose to be single or be in this position. It's something that we are working through," she recently confessed.

We've gotta hand it to Jen G, this must have been tough!

Posted on Mon Nov 27th, 2017 8:18am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's official! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are engaged and the soon-to-be princess showed off her sparkly engagement ring today at a London photo call where ravenous media and Royal-watchers ate up the spectacle. An American princess!

The Suits actress, 36, wore a lovely winter white coat and ankle-lace heels while the prince, 33, wore a blue suit for the occasion.

Markle flashed her engagement ring which features diamonds from a brooch that belonged to Princess Diana. Harry told reporters he knew Markle was "the one" from the moment they met and confirmed that his proposal was "romantic."

Earlier on Monday, the Royal family announced the couple's engagement: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle,” read a statement on behalf of Harry’s father, Prince Charles. “The wedding will take place in Spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course."

The statement confirmed that Harry popped the question earlier this month and it has been confirmed that Harry asked Markle's parents for their daughter's hand in marriage as well as seeking the blessing form Queen Elizabeth II.

The couple will live in Kensington Palace's Nottingham Cottage, just a short distance from Prince William and Duchess Kate's home. "We are very excited for Harry and Meghan,” William and Kate said in a statement this morning.

Meghan and Harry met in July 2016 and made their first public appearance together at the Invictus Games this past September in Toronto where Markle was living. The actress recently announced her departure from the show Suits after the series wrapped its final season episode earlier this month. She immediately departed Canada for London to start her new life.

Jenny from the Block has never seemed so smitten!

J.Lo and A-Rod celebrated their first Thanksgiving as a couple this year, and the singer couldn't help but mark the occasion with a cuddly Instagram post.

The Bronx-born beauty is so in love with the MLB legend, she's flat out told him she wants to walk down the aisle sooner rather than later!

"She’s putting the pressure on him. J. Lo flat-out told him, ‘OK, I’m ready. Marry me'. Though he’s wildly in love with Jennifer, he’s feeling a little pressured,” a source dished to Life & Style.

"J. Lo was skeptical about A-Rod’s intentions at first because of his reputation as a lothario. Now, she’s confident that A-Rod, like her, is in it for the long haul," the source added.

We've heard a LOT of rumors about him, so she might want to pump the breaks!
