Obama's Charlottesville Tweet Becomes Most Liked In History

Posted on Wed Aug 16th, 2017 9:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


The former POTUS is clearly more popular than the current one!

Barack Obama's tweet following the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday has become the most "liked" in the history of Twitter. Obama shared a Nelson Mandela quote after the violence broke out, which killed three people.

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love. For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. - Nelson Mandela," the tweet read.

Donald Trump is getting MAJOR backlash for refusing to condemn white supremacists and saying that "both sides" are equally responsible for the incident, and a lot of people are saying his sentiments during his press conference at Trump Tower are the beginning of the end of his presidency.

"What about the alt-left that came charging at, as you say, the alt-right, do they have any semblance of guilt? What about the fact that they have charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs. Do they have any problem? I think they do. So as far as I’m concerned that was a horrible, horrible day. Wait a minute, I'm not finished, fake news," he told reporters.

"I watched those much more closely than you people watched it, and you had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent. And nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say that right now. You had a group on one side that came charging in, without a permit, and they were very, very violent," he added.

And to think qualified, measured Hillary Clinton could be running the country right now...

 

Chris Brown Tells All On The Night He Beat Rihanna In New Doc Welcome To My Life

Posted on Wed Aug 16th, 2017 8:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


Hasn't he ever heard of the fact you're never supposed to hit a woman?

Chris Brown explained every detail of the night he savagely beat Rihanna in his new documentary Welcome to my Life, and while we believe some of his story, he basically tries to say that both of them were abusive towards each other. Victim blaming at its finest!

The rapper says it all started when he confessed to Riri that he had slept with a woman prior to their romance, and she just couldn't get it over it.

"My trust totally was lost with her, she hated me after that. I tried everything, she didn’t care. She just didn’t trust me after that. From there, it just went downhill because there were too many verbal fights, physical fights as well. Mutual sides. It is the first time I get to say anything. We would fight each other. She would hit me, I would hit her and it never was OK," he explained.

The pair recognized they had a problem, yet it persisted.

"There was always a point where we’d talk about it like, 'What the f—k are we doing?’ Like, 'I don’t like you slapping me.' If I go on stage I got a scratch on my face and I gotta explain it like, ‘Oh, no I fell.' If you got a scar or a bruise you gotta put makeup on. I’m not ever trying to put my hands on any female. I felt like a f-ing monster," he continued.

Things reached a breaking point when that unidentified woman showed up unexpectedly at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party.

“The ceremony’s about to start, she’s just crying. She got over it. She started drinking a little bit, we both was drinking a little bit. We was tipsy, laughing and then we left," he said about the singer's reaction.

Clearly the "Wild Thoughts" songstress wasn't over it, and when she saw a text message from the woman on Breezy's phone as they were driving home, all hell broke loose.

"She starts going off, she throws the phone...'I hate you.’ She hits me a couple more times. I remember she tried to kick me, but then I really hit her, with a closed fist, I punched her. I busted her lip. When I saw it, I was in shock. I was like, ‘F—k’ why the hell did I hit her? From there she just spit in my face, spit blood in my face and it enraged me even more. She takes the keys out of the car and fakes it like she throws them out of the window. I get out the car and I’m looking for the keys and somebody yelled and she yells out her door, ‘Help, he’s trying to kill me,'" he confessed.

At least it's over now!

 

MUST-SEE PHOTOS - Kendall Goes Braless And Kylie Dresses Down For Dinner Date

Posted on Wed Aug 16th, 2017 6:44am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kendall Jenner bares all! The young supermodel followed the latest trend and left her bra at home for a night out at Pace restaurant with sis Kylie and her pal Jordyn Woods. Kendall's fellow model pals Bella and Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevigne and others have been ditches the chest support undergarments as of late and frankly, we LOVE this trend! She wore a see-through white tank with ripped grey jeans -- with a strategic hole just under her booty crease, and light grey ankle boots with a snakeskin belt.

Meanwhile, sis Kylie dressed down and way less sexy in a red Dodge jacket, which was weird. The billowing windbreaker had an 80s vibe but also appeared to be covering up a bit of a belly on the younger Jenner, who paired it with tight black leggings, another black sweatshirt underneath and velvet Fendi slides. Not her best look ...

A crowd of fans and paparazzi circled the gang as they entered and left the restaurant and our videographer got in a few questions ... to Kendall: "Are you dating Blake Griffin?" (See our pix of the two of them partying together after Kendrick Lamar's concert last week.) And to Kylie: "Are you worried about your show's ratings?" See how it all went down AND see the hot mystery dude driving them home! Who dat?!

 

Nicest Ex Ever! Jen Garner Buys A Cake For Ben Affleck's Birthday

Posted on Tue Aug 15th, 2017 2:20pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Someone give this woman a medal!

Jennifer Garner swung by a bakery in Brentwood this afternoon to pick up a cake, and we think it's no coincidence that it's Ben Affleck's birthday! Is she some sort of saint?

The Batman actor cheated on her with girlfriend Lindsay Shookus for years and broke up their marriage, and he's been parading his new lady love all over town in recent months. We guess this is Jen G taking the high road! It's also possible the actress was buying the sweet treat so her kids could surprise their dad with it.

She might be doing a great job at keeping things civil with the Oscar winner, but she's relieved to be done dealing with his problems, amid rumors he's back to boozing after his stint in rehab earlier this year.

"[Jen] feels like Ben’s drinking is Lindsay’s problem now. Of course, Jen worries about Ben’s health because is the father of her children [Violet, 11, Seraphina, 8, and Samuel, 5], but she feel slike she’s done everything she can to help him over the years. It’s Lindsay’s turn," a source dished to In Touch.

"Jen is very surprised that Lindsay is drinking around Ben. But she feels that ultimately it’s up to [Lindsay] how she wants to handle the situation,” the source added.

Jen is a class act, that's for sure!

 

Orlando Bloom Jets Out Of Town After Reuniting With Katy Perry

Posted on Tue Aug 15th, 2017 1:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


He probably wants to get out of dodge before KP catches wind of him hanging with another chick!

Orlando Bloom caught a flight out of LAX this afternoon and was peppered with questions about his reconciliation with Katy Perry, but he kept quiet on the romance. Maybe that's because just one day after he attended Ed Sheeran's concert with the songstress, he was photographed frolicking at the beach with rumored flame Lindsay Friedman!

It sounds like the Pirates of the Caribbean star technically didn't do anything wrong, though, as he and the pop princess aren't back to being exclusive just yet.

"[Orlando] and Katy have been in touch since they broke up. They ended things as friends. They continue to be friends. Katy and Orlando aren’t back together, but they have history and are open to seeing what happens,” a source recently dished to People.

We guess it just depends on who you believe, because E! News says it's more serious than that.

"They have never cut communication since they broke up. They just took a break because it was the best thing for them at that time, [but they] are seeing each other again. Katy and Orlando want this to work this time, so they are working on mending their relationship. They've had some really good talks and have a better understanding on their needs. Time will tell at this point, but [things are] looking very positive," a source told the site.

Just one week ago, we caught Lindsay landing in LA with Orlando, but they separated when they spotted the cameras. You can't have your cake and eat it too, Orly!

 

Kim Apologizes For Defending Makeup Artist Jeffree Star Over His Past Racist Comments

Posted on Tue Aug 15th, 2017 12:20pm PDT       By X17 Staff



Well this was a terrible idea.

Kim Kardashian felt compelled to apologize this morning, after getting major backlash for defending makeup artist Jeffree Star over his past racist comments.

It all started when Star criticized Kimmy K for her makeup "swatching" techniques, and she acknowledged that she needed some practice. Fans pointed out Star's past use of the N-word and other slurs, and the reality star basically told everyone to get over it because he had apologized and shouldn't be held accountable for past mistakes.

"Guys, I see you being so petty and bringing up things in [Star's] past where he was negative, but he has also apologized for those things. I get [that] it's a serious deal if you say racial things, but I do believe in people changing, and people that apologize, I will give them the benefit of the doubt and accept that people change and move on," she said in a Snapchat video.

"I know better than anyone that I hate when people bring up my past or mistakes that I've made in the past. So let him live. I want to make one last thing clear: I do not defend people that are racist and I am very against it. But if someone claims that they have changed, I would love to give them the benefit of the doubt and I pray to God that they do change for the sake of my children and my friends," she added.

Needless to say, her followers were outraged! "Kim has black children but is telling us to "get over" someone being a racist," one user wrote. "Bye girl... I'm sure your kids are proud," wrote another. Ouch!

The KKW beauty founder quickly noticed that she was in hot water, and took to social media this morning to try and clear up the mess.

"I really wanted to apologize to you guys and my fans for defending a situation yesterday that I really didn't know enough about. I just feel a bit naïve and I do want to really apologize for me feeling like I had the right to say, 'Get over it,' in a situation that involves racism. I don't really feel like I have the right to speak on that. ... I really am sorry and I just want to move forward and be positive," she said.

We bet she wishes she had kept her trap shut! In case you missed it, here's why everyone is so pissed...

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Are NOT Getting Back Together, Contrary To Reports Of Reunion

Posted on Tue Aug 15th, 2017 11:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


We knew it was too good to be true!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are NOT calling off their split, despite multiple reports to the contrary. TMZ claims their divorce is going full speed ahead, and the only reason they haven't finalized it yet is because they're still working out custody and property settlements.

The main reason they will never reconcile? The actress permanently damaged their relationship by alleging the War Machine star was an abusive father. We'd say that's pretty unforgivable!

We guess someone at Us Weekly talked to a bogus "insider," because they swore things were headed back in a romantic direction.

"She’s still so in love with him. He got sober to try and win her back. He knew he had a problem that he had to take care of. And that’s all she ever wanted. Everyone thinks they are going to get back together. It wouldn’t be surprising if they announced that they’re calling it off and trying to work things out," a source dished to the mag.

Brangelina will never be Brangelina again, and we have to get used to it.

 

Blac Chyna Acts Panicked When She Learns Kim Kardashian Posted About Dream On Instagram

Posted on Tue Aug 15th, 2017 10:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


No need to freak out, girl!

Blac Chyna looked ready to pounce into fierce mama bear mode when our videographer told her that Kim Kardashian had posted about Dream on Instagram, but as soon as she realized it was something cute, she relaxed and seemed flattered.

Kanye's wifey took to social media yesterday to poke fun at her own crying face, and used BC and brother Rob's baby girl as an example of how crying is actually done. "Even her cry face is pretty! I'm gonna take notes!" she captioned a photo of herself holding the distraught little princess.

The former stripper claimed she hadn't seen the post, but we ALL know that she follows the K clan's every move.

Things have been shockingly quiet between the video vixen and the sock designer lately, as they work out a custody agreement. Still, rumor has it Dream spends the majority of her time with her father and nannies, and that's probably for the best. Chy is too busy trying to stay famous, make money, and add notches to her bedpost!

Even her cry face is pretty! I'm gonna take notes!
