Report: Luann D'Agostino's RHONY Co-Stars Think She Timed Divorce Filing To Stay On The Show

Posted on Fri Aug 4th, 2017 10:40am PDT       By X17 Staff


We wouldn't be surprised!

Luann D'Agostino announced her decision to divorce husband Tom yesterday, and her Real Housewives of New York co-stars think her filing came at a very calculated time! Why? Apparently, Bravo execs are currently hammering out who to re-cast and who should get the boot, and the former Countess wants to make sure she gets asked back.

"They are right now deciding which ladies to invite back and which one to fire. This split will almost guarantee that Luann is back. She has outplayed and out-maneuvered all the other ladies,” a source dished to Radar.

"Each season Luann comes up with the best story line just at the right moment. Some think the whole wedding was a press stunt. Luann has previously been demoted from being a full-time Real Housewife cast member to being a friend of the housewives. No one is ever going to remove Luann’s apple!” the source added.

Besides Tom's reported serial cheating, Luann's kids allegedly "hated" the businessman and had a blowout fight with him just weeks before the split.

Money can't buy you class, but divorce can get you ratings!

Justin Bieber Rolls With His Pastor To His White T-Shirt Launch

Posted on Fri Aug 4th, 2017 9:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Music isn't his top priority anymore!

Justin Bieber attended his Hanes x Karla white t-shirt launch at Maxfields in West Hollywood last night, and had his entourage of church buddies on hand for moral support. The singer collaborated with his stylist to make the perfect tee for only $30, and we guess fashion and God are more important than performing at this point in his life.

JB left the event with his pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. and headed over to Catch to dine with pastor Carl Lentz. Both Wilkerson Jr. and Lentz are part of Hillsong church, which has taken The Biebs under its wing and guided his spiritual awakening in recent months.

There's a lot of speculation that the "Sorry" crooner was urged to cancel his Purpose tour by the church, but they say that's totally false. Rumors are also swirling that the Canadian pop star is fast becoming the Tom Cruise of Hillsong, but sources tell us Bieber's dedication to religion is solely his own.

A source tells X17:
    "Justin has always been religious, but he went through a period of years where he lost connection with God. He was hanging out with bad influences like Lil Za, egging his neighbors homes, and acting like a total brat. He recognized it, and turned to people like Carl and Rich to guide him. He feels like they're his genuine friends who could care less about his fame, and he looks to them for advice. Being famous can be incredibly isolating, and he feels like he's found a home in the church."

We're surprised his church services haven't been flooded by Beliebers, since we all know where to find him these days!

 

Chris Cornell's Daughter Sings Tribute To Late Father And His Pal Chester Bennington On GMA

Posted on Fri Aug 4th, 2017 8:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


So sad!

Chris Cornell's daughter Toni paid tribute to her late father and his pal Chester Bennington with a moving performance on GMA this morning, and we have no idea how the pre-teen found the strength just months after losing her dad. Cornell committed suicide three months ago, and Bennington took his own life just two weeks ago on what would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday.

The 12-year-old sang Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” alongside OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder on the morning show, and a lot of the audience was moved to tears. "It’s an honor to perform this for my dad and Chester and to sing for them," she told the hosts.

The little girl has been dealing with the tragedy in surprisingly adult ways. Just a month after the Audioslave frontman hanged himself in his hotel room, Toni penned a letter to him for Father's Day.

"Let me start by saying how much I love you and how much you mean to me,. You are my idol, someone I’ve always looked up to. You were always there for me. You pushed me forward every day, and you still do. Whenever I cry or feel like there’s no way I can go on, I hear your voice, ‘Don’t sit worrying peanut. Worry is a waste of time, I’m ok.’ I always took what you said to heart. Probably because everything you said was so smart," she wrote.

Such grace amid unbelievable loss.

Posted on Thu Aug 3rd, 2017 1:30pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Everyone saw this coming except for her!

Real Housewives of New York star Luann D'Agostino, commonly known as The Countess, has filed for divorce from husband Tom after just eight months of marriage.

"It's with great sadness that Tom & I agreed to divorce. We care for each other very much, hope you respect our privacy during this sad time!" she tweeted this morning after the news broke.

Their rocky relationship has been a major plot line on the Bravo series, and all of her co-stars tried to warn her about D'Agostino's wandering eye before they tied the knot on New Year's Eve in Palm Beach. D'Agostino has been caught cheating on multiple occasions, but Luann chose to turn the other cheek.

"He screwed up. What he did was wrong ... he did the wrong thing, and he totally recognizes that. I know in my heart of hearts that he loves me," she told People at the time.

Who is she going to make eggs a la francais for now?!

Posted on Thu Aug 3rd, 2017 11:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


Here's your daily dose of awfulness.

Danielle "Cash Me Outside" Bregoli landed at LAX yesterday and was her typical disrespectful self, and at one point she even threatened to get physical with the shutterbugs. "If I break one of your cameras you can't sue me," she warned as she made her way thru the terminal. What a classy chick!

The 14-year-old viral sensation should keep her hands to herself if she doesn't want to end up in the slammer.

She just got a lucky break in court and copped a plea deal for multiple charges, including grand theft, possession of marijuana, and filing a false police report. She is now on five years probation, but something tells us she's not going to be able to stay out of trouble!

 

Justin Bieber Addresses Tour Cancellation In Heartfelt Note To Fans

Posted on Thu Aug 3rd, 2017 10:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


Is it too late now to say sorry?! Definitely not!

Justin Bieber explained why he decided to cancel his Purpose tour in a heartfelt Instagram note to fans yesterday, and it sounds like the singer just needed time to focus on being a better version of himself.

"Im grateful for the tours but most of all I am grateful i get to go through this life WITH YOU.! Learning and growing hasn’t always been easy but knowing I im not alone has kept me going. I have let my insecurities get the best of me at times. I let my broken relationships dictate the way I acted toward people and the way I treated them! i let bitterness, jealously and fear run my life.!!!! I am extremely blessed to have people in the past few years help me build my character back up reminding me of who I am and who I want to be!!! Reminding me my past decisions and past relationships don't dictate my future decisions and my future relationships," he began.

"I'm VERY aware I'm never gonna be perfect, and I'm gonna keep making mistakes but what I'm not going to do is let my past dictate my future.. What I'm not gonna do is be ashamed of my mistakes. I wanna be a man that learns from them and grows from them.!! I want you all to know this tour has been unbelievable and has taught me so much about myself," he continued.

"I want my career to be sustainable, but I also want my mind heart and soul to be sustainable. So that I can be the man I want to be, the husband I eventually want to be and the father I want to be," he wrote. "This message is just an opportunity for you to know my heart, I'm not expecting anyone to understand, but I do want people to have an opportunity to know where I am coming from! THIS MESSAGE IS VERY GRAMMATICALLY INCORRECT BUT ITS FROM THE HEART. BUT I THINK THERES SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT IMPERFECTIONS!!" he concluded.

This new, humble JB seems to be the result of all that church going. The chart topper attended services just last night, and snuck out unnoticed with the help of pal Patrick Schwarzenegger. Watch the video!

 

Selena Gomez Talks Rehab, Depression, And The Weeknd In Revealing New Interview

Posted on Thu Aug 3rd, 2017 9:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


No topic was off-limits.

Selena Gomez has had a rough couple of years, but she's finally found the light at the end of the tunnel, and she couldn't be more grateful for the steps she took to get there. The singer dished about everything from her time in rehab for depression to her relationship with The Weeknd in a new interview with InStyle, and she's never sounded more confident.

"It's so weird, how one year can change everything. Last year I canceled my tour and went away for 90 days, and it was the best thing that I ever could've done. I had no phone, nothing, and I was scared. But it was amazing, and I learned a lot. Everything I cared about, I stopped caring about. I came out, and it felt like, 'OK, I can only go forward.' And there are still days. I go to therapy. I believe in that and talking about where you are. But I'm in a really, really healthy place," she explained of her time in treatment, noting that she loved equine therapy and not having to do her hair while she was there.

The brunette beauty also wanted use her return to the spotlight to highlight the importance of getting help when you need it.

"When I came out, I was asked to go to the American Music Awards, and everyone around me was like, 'Do whatever makes you comfortable.' I didn't want my fans to have a negative view of taking care of yourself, so I just went in head-on, and I'll tell you, the first time stepping on that carpet was so overwhelming. I felt like my back was sweating," she revealed.

She tackled the issue of mental health with her new Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, and she likes that it has gotten people talking about the tough stuff.

"I didn't think it would even remotely blow up the way that it did, both positively and, obviously, controversially. So in Season 2, we answer a lot of the questions that were brought up. And I think if our show is able to start a conversation at the dinner table, even if it's just 'That's terrible' or 'That was great,' it's still starting a conversation. It scared people, but it's really important," she noted.

As for her relationship with The Weeknd?

"It's great. I don't depend on one area of my life to make me happy. It's really important for me to love and nourish my friends and family and to make sure that I never get influenced by a guy. I've wanted to be in a strong headspace for years, and I really wasn't. Before, I was so young and easily influenced, and I'd feel insecure. You want someone to add to your life, not to complete you, if that makes sense. I'm lucky because he’s more of a best friend than anything else," she gushed. Sounds like she learned her lesson with Justin Bieber!

You go, girl!
