Nick Lachey jessica simpson red o restaurant jacket Nick Lachey jessica simpson red o restaurant jacket Whether it was intentional or not, Jessica Simpson and boyfriend Eric Johnson arrived at Red O restaurant within five minutes of her ex-husband Nick Lachey and his current love, Vanessa Minnillo.

Simpson and Lachey were married in 2002, but split in 2005 amid rumors of infidelities and her family's interference. Vanessa is pretty much the only serious girlfriend Nick has had since then, and as we know, Jessica has been through a series of high-profile relationships -- and splits.

Perhaps now that she seems to finally be in a good place in her life, they decided it was time to get back into each other's lives? But if this was an unplanned run-in...Awwwwkward!

Hilary Duff Reveals She Lost Her Tooth On Her Wedding Day

Posted on Fri Oct 22nd, 2010 11:43am PDT       By X17 Staff

duffteef10.jpg Hilary Duff appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this morning, and the actress revealed that her tooth fell out on her wedding day!

Hilary told Ellen, "I bit into a bagel. I was sitting on the bed with my mom and my sister and they're like 'You're an idiot, you did not. Come on!' ... Thank god I didn't swallow it. Not good for a bride on her wedding day."

However, this all went down at 11am, so the anxious bride had plenty of time to get her chompers repaired. As it turns out, Hilary's wedding planner's sister's husband's best friend (whew!) is "a top dentist in Montecito and she called him up," Duff explained. After that, Duff got her perfect smile fixed, and she was able to make it down the aisle just in time to tie the knot with longtime love Mike Comrie. Talk about a fairytale ending!

Rod Stewart has revealed that at the age of 18, he gave up a daughter for adoption.

Stewart's daughter, Sarah Streeter who is now 46 years old, has recently reunited with her rockstar father after the death of her adoptive parents. Stewart, 65, recalls the moment he made the tough decision to give her up. He reveals on the Joy Behar Show:

    "I was absolutely stone broke... and so she was put up for adoption."


The legendary rocker, who is the father of seven ... with one on the way, reached out to Streeter three years ago.

He adds, "I never felt like I was her dad, because I didn’t take her to school, change her nappies, there was no paternal thing there, but I'm trying."

Streeter says that her biological mom, who was an art student, and Stewart had a teenage romance back in the sixties. "There's no anger there. I never was angry about what happened really, just sad," recalls Streeter.

Stewart's eighth baby, with wife Penny Lancaster, is due at the beginning of March.

President Obama Records Anti-Gay Bullying Message

Posted on Fri Oct 22nd, 2010 11:29am PDT       By X17 Staff



President Obama has stepped up and recorded his own "It Gets Better" message to let the gay teen victims of bullying that "you are not alone."

“We’ve got to dispel this myth that bullying is just a normal right of passage, that it’s some inevitable part of growing up. It’s not,” he says in the very presidential looking video. He continues, “What I want to say is this: You are not alone. You didn’t do anything wrong. You didn’t do anything to deserve being bullied.”

Obama has drawn a lot of criticism from his gay supporters as of late, specifically with his approach to repealing the Don't Ask, Don't Tell law. Even though Obama opposes the law, his administration has successfully reinstated the law after it was briefly struck down earlier this month.

But whatever your opinion of his policies, it's wonderful to see the president lending his hopeful message to this important topic.

Russell Brand's Bodyguards Assault A Car Full Of Photographers In India

Posted on Fri Oct 22nd, 2010 10:59am PDT       By X17 Staff

russellbradnapphotgs.jpg Russell Brand's bodyguards assaulted four news photographers this morning at an Indian tiger reserve, reports the Associated Press.

The photographers work for AP, Reuters, Agence France-Presse and the Hindustan Times newspaper, and they said Brand watched as one of the guards "came up to their jeep, punched their driver in the face and grabbed the vehicle's keys." AP photographer Mustafa Quraishi said he jumped out of the car to try to retrieve the keys, but the bodyguard "punched him repeatedly, breaking his glasses, smashing and then taking his camera flash and opening up a cut on his arm."

Two other photographers tried to help Quraishi, but the other guard began hitting them, and it sounds like one man sustained substantial injuries to the head. The bodyguards then left the photographers stranded in the park (which is home to tigers, leopards and hyenas, oh my!) but luckily rangers found the keys and helped the photographers out.

The news photographers were about 330 feet behind two jeeps -- one carrying Brand, a woman who was not his fiancee Katy Perry, a man and two children, and the other carrying two bodyguards.

Brand and Perry are set to get married tomorrow at the Taj Rambagh Palace.

 

BREAKING NEWS - Lindsay Lohan Avoids Jail Time, Judge Fox Sends Her Back To Rehab

Posted on Fri Oct 22nd, 2010 9:23am PDT       By X17 Staff

Lindsay Lohan appeared before Judge Elden Fox at the Beverly Hills Courthouse this morning for her latest probation violation hearing, and it appears as though spending the last month at the Betty Ford Center helped convince the judge to send her right back to rehab rather than jail.

Lindsay will stay at Betty Ford in Rancho Mirage, California until January 3, 2011, where she has been since September 28. Everyone in court laughed when Judge Fox revealed that he set the date for January 3 because he doesn't want Lindsay out partying on New Year's Eve, and her next court date is scheduled for February 25, 2011.

The District Attorney wanted to send Lindsay to jail for 180 days, noting that she's been working on this case since the beginning, and she felt as though the actress "didn't get it" and incarceration was "necessary." However, it looks like Lindsay and her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley were able to make pretty convincing arguments as to why rehab is a better solution for her. Lindsay, who was also accompanied by a woman from Betty Ford, gave Judge Fox a handwritten letter, which was reviewed before proceedings began, and Judge Fox looked over her reports and medical records from the rehabilitation facility as well.

Holley made her case and told Judge Fox rehab is a very important part of Lindsay's recovery, and though he has been strict with Lindsay in the past, he told the court, "I'm new to the rodeo ... there's nothing better than a trainwreck for the media ... everyone's been covering it, but I will not be manipulated by media or by public opinion." Judge Fox added, "You are an addict, you have to change your life and then the future is yours."

Judge Fox was very firm when he told Lindsay she has to stay clean and sober, and she will undergo random drug testing from January 3 to February 25, 2011. If Lindsay follows the rules, she'll get unsupervised probation, and Judge Fox said, "This long episode will be behind her." Lindsay pleaded guilty to the probation violation, and when Judge Fox gave her the sentence, she started crying and thanked him. Dina was praying and she crossed herself after the decision was announced, and a jubilant Michael Lohan yelled out, "Thank you, your honor!"

The last time Lindsay met with Judge Fox on September 24, he put her in jail for violating her probation (she failed at least one court mandated drug test), but shortly after she started serving her 30-day sentence at the Lynwood Correctional Facility, Judge Patricia Schnegg threw out Fox's ruling, set bail to $300,000 and Lohan was set free.

A mini-van from Betty Ford is waiting for Lindsay right now in front of the courthouse, and she will return straight to rehab as soon as she walks out the door, which will be any minute now. Lindsay's SCRAM bracelet has been removed, and she had to turn over her cell phone and all other electronics in court.

UPDATE
9:53 am PST: Lindsay Lohan has just left the courtroom flanked by representatives from Betty Ford:

X17 LIVE - Lindsay Lohan Due To Arrive At Court Any Minute

Posted on Fri Oct 22nd, 2010 7:49am PDT       By X17 Staff





Lindsay Lohan is due at the Beverly Hills Courthouse at 8:30am this morning (Judge Elden Fox said it was mandatory for her to appear), and we are live and waiting for the 24-year-old actress to show up to her probation violation hearing.

The last time Lindsay met with Judge Fox on September 24, he put her in jail for what was supposed to be a 30 day sentence, but Judge Patricia Schnegg threw out his ruling and set Lohan free after just several hours behind bars at the Lynwood Correctional Facility.

So what will happen this morning? Stay tuned ... we'll be bringing you all the latest details as they happen!

8:05 am PST: Lindsay Lohan has just arrived with her mom Dina in tow.

8:06 am PST: Wearing her hair pulled back in a long ponytail and a black blazer, Lindsay smiled and giggled as she went through the metal detector.

8:07 am PST: Michael Lohan has arrived just minutes after his daughter and ex-wife.

8:50 am PST: Our source inside the courtroom tells us Lindsay's mother Dina is behind her massaging her back and comforting her, as she's been crying. Judge Fox is being very tough with her, and though Lindsay's been "very talkative" with him, it looks like she could still be seeing jail time. Her eye makeup is smeared and things are not looking good for her at this point.

Michael Lohan is on other side of room, and though Lindsay isn't speaking to him, she is "making eye contact with him." Lindsay is wearing pink nail polish, but she doesn't have any cryptic messages scrawled on them this time...

9:53 am PST: Lindsay Lohan has just left the courtroom flanked by representatives from Betty Ford. Dina and her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley were not with her.

9:54 am PST: Michael Lohan has left the courtroom. Staying true to his word, Michael has not addressed the media.

9:55 am PST: Shawn Chapman Holley and Dina Lohan were escorted out of the side door.

Michael Lohan Attacked At His Apartment The Night Before Lindsay's Probation Violation Hearing

Posted on Fri Oct 22nd, 2010 7:40am PDT       By X17 Staff

mlohanattacked.jpg Last night Michael Lohan was attacked outside of his Santa Monica residence, and though he was not seriously hurt, he was very shaken when we spoke to him this morning at court. Michael had visible wounds on his hands, and he didn't have much to say about the incident, as he told us just a few days ago that he was going to stop speaking to the media.

Michael reportedly received a threatening phone call last night, and about an hour later he went outside to his car, at which point he was attacked by a man wielding some sort of a blade. Michael sustained cuts on his neck and hands, and he was able to fight off the suspect, who then ran away.

A source tells X17online, "Michael is fine and the police are investigating. He was treated in his apartment because he refused to have a frenzy of paparazzi at the hospital." Hmm, so what's he doing in court today then? And will he really keep quiet?
