EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Is Kanye On The Phone With His Lawyer Discussing Taylor Swift's Alleged Copycat Merch?!

Posted on Sat Aug 26th, 2017 9:24am PDT       By X17 Staff


All anyone's talking about this weeks is Taylor Swift's new album Reputation and all the hype leading up to the release of the first single "Look What You Made Me Do." So is that what Kanye's talking about, too?

We caught the rapper/producer/designer/Mr. Kardashian on his cell phone in an intense discussion Friday as he left his office as literally EVERY SINGLE web site that gives even a single F about Taylor and/or Kanye and many of those that don't, were reporting that Taylor's Reputation merch uses the same gothic font that West used for his insanely popular Life of Pablo merch.

Obviously we all know about the two performers' longstanding beef with each other after Kanye took to the MTV VMA's stage back in 2009 to rant about how Beyonce was robbed of the Best Female Video award in favor of TSwiz's "You Belong With Me." Well, they eventually kissed and made up, but there's always been a bit of tension there -- which isn't uncommon for Swift and her frenemies -- I mean her single is "Look What You Made Me Do." She's singing (barely) about how her enemies have screwed her over and that seems to be the ongoing theme for Ms. Swift these days -- her vs. Katy Perry, her vs. the dude that grabbed her ass, her vs. Nicki Minaj, her vs. Kanye ... and on and on.

So were Taylor and her team intentionally ripping of Kanye? YOU decide!

Yes! Obviously!
No way; Kanye doesn't have a copyright on the gothic font!

 

Kylie Jenner Goes Super Nude For V Magazine

It's like Kris Jenner caught word that Taylor Swift's new single was about Kimye and was like, 'Quick Kylie, get naked!'

We are used to seeing Kylie Jenner's curves all over the place, but never this much of them! The reality star stripped down for V magazine for her first fully nude photoshoot, and her implants boobs take center stage! The LipKit queen has an impressive set of knockers, so why not show them off?

The Life of Kylie star hides behind colorful sheer bandages in the images, but she says this is the most exposed she's ever been for a pictorial.

"That was actually my first super nude shoot. I always post sexy pictures, but have never really gone nude," she told the mag.

The cosmetics mogul continued to whine about fame in the interview, but what does she expect when she puts stuff like this out there?

"I don’t know what it’s like to not be in the spotlight. That’s normal to me. There’s nothing you can do about it. There are so many great things about life, I’m just trying to focus on that," she said.

See what you're missing, Tyga?!

 

The Weeknd Whips Around In His $1 Million McLaren

This star boy has a fancy ride!

The Weeknd cruised around town in his $1 million McLaren sports car yesterday, and life is certainly good for the crooner! Not only is his career on fire, but so is his relationship with girlfriend Selena Gomez.

In fact, the couple are collaborating in the studio!

"[They] are talking about working on projects and songs together. They’re having a great summer, are happy, and there have been no breaks or major arguments in the relationship," a source dished to E! News.

The "Come & Get It" songstress has never been happier, and a lot of that has to do with her beau.

"Selena and Abel’s relationship is so much more grown-up and healthy, and grounded in respect and trust—they really are best friends as well as girlfriend and boyfriend. When they have a disagreement, they talk it out and resolve it straight away. They don’t allow any bad feelings or misunderstandings to linger and fester," a source dished to Hollywood Life.

"Abel puts a lot of work into their relationship. He’s always thinking of ways to spoil Selena, and to let her know he’s thinking of her," the source added.

We wonder if Bella Hadid ever feels like she let a good thing go?

 

Are We The Only Ones That Think Ben Affleck Looks Super Rough These Days?

Posted on Fri Aug 25th, 2017 10:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


What is happening?!

We caught Ben Affleck puffing away on a cig outside a business office in Santa Monica yesterday, and we couldn't help but wonder what's wrong with the A-list former hunk? He looked sad, puffy, and nothing like his movie star self.

The stress of his divorce, his career, and his new controversial relationship with girlfriend Lindsay Shookus must be catching up with him. Then there are the rumors that he's boozing again after his trip to rehab earlier this year.

His ego is undoubtedly bruised after losing his Batman role. He was supposed to write, direct, and star in the new flick, but then he was replaced by Planet of the Apes director Matthew Reeves, who revealed the Oscar winner's script had also been scrapped. Now it's being reported that he's been dropped entirely!

We miss the Sean Jean sweatsuit wearing, spray tanned Ben from the J.Lo days!

 

Did Nicki Minaj Just Shade Taylor Swift?

Posted on Fri Aug 25th, 2017 9:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


It certainly sounds like it!

Nicki Minaj caused quite the stir on Thursday by tweeting a message that many fans think was directed at Taylor Swift. "N---ga sit down. Be Humble," the rapper wrote just hours after T-Swizz released her new single "Look What You Made Me Do." Remember, the "Pink Friday" songstress collaborated with Katy Perry on "Swish Swish," so it's pretty clear whose side she's on!

While Nicki could have just been listening to Kendrick Lamar's song, we have a feeling she was subtly shading TS via social media.

There's a lot of buzz about who Tay Tay's new tune is about, and we have a feeling it's a bit of a combination!

“I don’t like your little games / I don’t like your tilted stage," she sings in one verse. Well, Kanye performed his Saint Pablo tour on a floating tilted stage, so it's pretty clear she's taking aim at Yeezy with that one!

"Locked me out and threw a feast (what?)," she sings in another part, which seems like a reference to KP's "Bon Appetit" music video.

One thing's for sure - Taylor certainly knows how to get people talking!

 

Kourtney Takes The Plunge In An LBD As She Hits The Club With Younes Bendjima

Posted on Fri Aug 25th, 2017 8:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


She went from keeping things on the DL to going all out!

Kourtney Kardashian sexed it up in a super low cut black dress to hit Poppy nightclub with boyfriend Younes Bendjima last night, and the reality star seems determined to prove to everyone that she's still young and hot. Her man wore some unfortunate camouflage pants, but we forgive him because he's easy on the eyes.

What started out as a casual fling has morphed into something more serious in recent weeks, and we doubt Scott Disick is happy about it.

"Kourtney is having a ball with Younes, he’s exactly what she needed after the hell she went through with Scott [Disick, 34] — he’s like a breath of fresh air. They’re keeping things pretty casual still, and just having fun, neither of them want to be in a a serious committed relationship right now, so it’s perfect," a source dished to Hollywood Life.

"Younes hasn’t met the kids, and Kourtney doesn’t want to introduce him to them at this stage, but if things were to become more serious between them then obviously she would. Right now though, Kourtney is just enjoying letting her hair down, and being someone other than just a ‘mom.’ Dating Younes has given Kourtney a much needed new lease on life, she didn’t realize just how much all the drama with Scott had been bringing her down, until now," the source added.

She seems happier than she's been in years!

 

Taylor Swift Drops First Single From Reputation Album, "Look What You Made Me Do"

Posted on Fri Aug 25th, 2017 6:48am PDT       By X17 Staff


"I'm sorry, but the old Taylor can't come to the phone now. Oh, why? Because she's dead!"

Soooo, whadaya think?! We've been waiting for Taylor Swift's new single and "Look What You Made Me Do" is finally here!

TSwiz' new album, Reputation has been in the works for a long time and the social media buildup, including Swift deleting all previous content on her social media and adding obscure snake videos, plus the sexual harassment lawsuit she just went through, and the long-running beef with Katy Perry have all helped build the hype for Taylor's new music. She's even got a new website with new snake merch, including a reversible terry pullover and a REP pop socket :)

So does it live up to the hype??? Listen and vote!

Taylor Swift And Katy Perry Not Performing Together At The VMAs, Despite Reports

Posted on Thu Aug 24th, 2017 11:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


Not so fast!

Katy Perry and Taylor Swift are not performing together at the VMAs, despite reports to the contrary.

"That’s not happening as far as [I know]. I’ve certainly seen all the rumors flying around, but that’s not happening," Garrett English, a producer, told Entertainment Tonight. "There’s nothing happening right now. But wouldn’t that be great? But no," he added.

It's super not happening once T-Swizz sees KP's new "Swish Swish" video. The pop princess released it this morning, and it contains more than a few thinly veiled references to their longstanding feud.

The "Bad Blood" songstress' retaliation should be coming today, as she's set to release her first single of her upcoming album Reputation. She's posted a million snake videos hinting at the subject matter of her new tune, and you just KNOW it's about her nemesis!
