As if they need more money!

George Clooney and Rande Gerber, along with their partner Michael Meldman, just sold their Casamigos tequila for a whopping $1 billion to Diageo PLC, a British distiller of spirits.

Clooney and Gerber launched the brand just four years ago, and the idea was more of a passion project than a business venture.

"Casamigos really started by accident as far as a company. As you do in Mexico, we would drink a lot of tequila. We'd go out to bars and restaurants, and bartenders would recommend them. Some were good, some not so good, and some expensive. There came a point where George turned to me and said, 'Why don't we create one that's perfect for us?'" Gerber told Business Insider this past March.

The actor and Cindy Crawford's husband will still be involved with Casamigos, though.

"This reflects Diageo’s belief in our company and our belief in Diageo. But we’re not going anywhere. We’ll still be very much a part of Casamigos. Starting with a shot tonight. Maybe two," Clooney said in a statement to Deadline.

Casamigos sold 120,000 cases of tequila in 2016, and the brand is on track to reach over 170,000 cases by the end of this year.

Clooney's newborn twins Ella and Alexander just got a whole lot richer!

Owning up to the tough stuff.

Makeup vlogger Jeffree Star is known to love a little online controversy, but a series of videos from 12 years ago have surfaced, and now he's apologizing for the racist comments he made in them. He shared the emotional clip on Tuesday, and it has garnered almost two million views since.

"This video is something I feel like I owe to my entire audience. Every time that I get into an online conflict or confrontation or some crazy feud, whether it is with my ex-best friend or a celebrity or other YouTubers, a lot of stuff from my past constantly gets dragged up," he began.

"Those videos were 12 years ago and I look at them and it just makes me sick to my stomach because I don’t know who that person was. In these videos I say some really disgusting, vile, nasty and embarrassing things. The past can never be erased. It is always going to be there. The person who said those horrible, vile things, that person was depressed, that person was just angry at the world, that person felt like they were not accepted, that person was seeking attention. But does that make it okay? Absolutely not," he continued.

He blames his mistakes on his troubled childhood and struggle to fit in.

"I started wearing makeup in 10th grade. The world was not what it is today. 10 years ago, when I left the house people would spit on me, they would scream f—–t at me, they would scream freak and what did I do? I fought back with rage. I come from a family of chaos, alcoholism and abuse. When I discovered makeup, that was my happy place. I got to escape the horrible reality that was my life," he explained.

"I want to go on the record and let you know that is not okay. But sometimes that is how we handle things. We are human beings. I am nowhere near perfect. The intent behind my words back then, it was not about race. Racism does not live inside of me. I said really horrible vicious things back to people to hurt them, to harm them, to shock them and to let them know, ‘You’re gonna call me something? I am gonna cut you back because you made me feel low.’ And that is not okay," he concluded.

At least he's taking responsibility!

Kimye probably gave her strict orders to keep the details under wraps!

Khloe Kardashian touched down at LAX today after one of her countless trips to Cleveland to spend time with boyfriend Tristan Thompson, and the reality star was asked about the recent reports that Kim and Kanye have hired a surrogate to have a third child. Naturally, the Revenge Body star kept quiet on the subject, but if it wasn't true, we're sure she would have taken the opportunity to shoot down the rumors.

The couple are reportedly willing to shell out $45K to the surrogate, and they have a TON of rules they want followed. Among them? The obvious no smoking and drinking. Some of the more random ones? No changing cat litter or taking jacuzzis!

Kimmy K suffered from a condition called placenta accrete during her first and second pregnancies, and her doctor told her on a recent episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that getting pregnant again could put her life in danger.

We're just surprised she didn't take sister Kourtney or pal Chrissy Teigen up on their offers to carry her baby. It's so unlike Kim to be able to give up this much control!

Life is good for the former boybander.

Zayn Malik is one of the most famous popstars in the world, but in a new interview with the Evening Standard, he revealed what he enjoys most is just his private life and relationship with girlfriend Gigi Hadid.

The British hunk admitted during the sit-down that it's nice to have a supermodel lady love that understands fame and everything that comes with it.

"Oh yes, definitely — she gets it, she’s very understanding. But I can understand how it can look, that you’ve got these two people in a ‘power couple.' That’s not something I want to be a part of. I’m with her because I like her and I hope she’s with me because she likes me. When we come home, we don’t really talk about that s**t. We just spend time together as a normal couple, cook food, watch TV, have a laugh," he gushed.

The "Pillowtalk" crooner also discussed his Muslim faith, and how the religion is often misunderstood and feared.

"I’m not currently practising but I was raised in the Islamic faith, so it will always be with me, and I identify a lot with the culture. But I’m just me. I don’t want to be defined by my religion or my cultural background," he mused.

He proceeded to share a story about being profiled at the airport, and was surprisingly understanding about the incident in light of recent terror attacks.

"The first time I came to America, I had three security checks before I got on the plane; first they said that I’d been randomly selected, and then they said it was something to do with my name, it was flagging something on their system…Then when I landed, it was like a movie. They kept me there for three hours, questioning me about all kinds of crazy stuff. I was 17, my first time in America, jet-lagged off the plane, confused. The same thing happened the next time too," he recounted.

"I understand the level of caution that needs to be taken, especially now, in the light of certain events at home. I don’t think there’s any benefit to getting angry — it’s something that comes with the climate. I understand why they’ve got to do it," he added.

As for his famous struggles with anxiety? Breaking off from One Direction and going solo helped with the condition, he says.

"It’s not a thing that you just get rid of overnight but it’s getting to a much more manageable place. I think it came from a lack of confidence, just a sense of disbelief [sic] in myself. You have a certain sense of control, which is nice. And I’m more confident in my ability and what I want to give to my fans. I can think of people coming out to see me perform as a positive thing now, rather than something I am dreading,” he explained.

Sounds like he's got it all figured out!

It's almost time!

Kim Kardashian hosted a launch party for her KKW beauty line at her Bel Air mansion last night, and we're slightly shocked she would allow so many people into her home after her Paris robbery last October. Tons of friends and family were on hand for the event, as well as hoards of reporters and photographers from media outlets.

Kanye and daughter North got in on the fun, as well as Kris Jenner and a ton of her A-list pals. The reality star set up a flower room to showcase her products, and the whole space was covered in real roses and mirrors. We wonder how much that cost? Then again, who cares... she's projected to make $14 million in less than five minutes once her contouring kit goes on sale!

A lot of people think she's stealing sister Kylie Jenner's LipKit thunder, but the brunette bombshell recently explained that they made sure not to overlap on their ideas.

“I am older than Kylie. We definitely have a different audience. We do have a lot of similar things — but we aren’t doing the same products so we won’t run into that overlap. We’re really cautious of that. We work together to make sure that we don’t overlap like that," she told WWD.

"A lot of my stuff is going to be for skin. [I’m] trying to mirror skin care with makeup," she added.

Add cosmetics mogul to her impressive resume!

She might as well be wearing underwear!

Ariel Winter headed out for some retail therapy with a friend yesterday, and she was wearing the tiniest jean shorts we've ever seen. Her butt cheeks were peeking out, but we're sure nobody minded! The actress fully embraces her curves and loves to be sexy, even though her estranged mom Chrystal Workman recently criticized her for it!

"I would not do that. She needs to grow up. I would tell her to dress properly, be the beautiful person she is. I feel sad that she feels the need to expose herself when it’s not necessary,” Workman told In Touch.“Ariel is smart, beautiful and talented. She is a legitimate actress. She does not need to do this. She is beautiful with her clothes on," she added.

The Modern Family star didn't take those comments too well, either.

"What’s sad is that you lie consistently. Also, why is it that you only choose to talk to me through the press? I’m doing just fine. Toxic," the 19-year-old tweeted.

She certainly has lovely lady lumps!

Kim and Kanye are trying for baby #3 ... but the effort involves a test tube and a surrogate!

The Kardashian-Wests have hired a gestational surrogate to carry their third child, according to TMZ and they're paying $45K for this woman's work. Kim has placenta accreta, a condition that makes pregnancy potentially life-threatening for her. She had minor complications during her pregnancies with Nori and Saint and she doesn't want to risk it again.

According to TMZ, the contract reads as follows:

• $45,000 in 10, $4,500 monthly installments
  
• $5k for each additional kid if there are multiples
  
• $4,000 compensation in the case of loss of organs of the surrogate
  
• surrogate must refrain from smoking, drinking and drugs during the pregnancy
  
• surrogate shall restrict sexual activities in the weeks leading up to the pregnancy, including foregoing sexual intercourse for 3 weeks following embryo implantation
  
• surrogate cannot go in hot tubs or saunas, cannot handle or change cat litter, apply hair dye, drink more than one caffeinated beverage per day or eat raw fish

Keeping up with tradition even after their split.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are currently vacationing together in the Bahamas with their three kids, X17online can exclusively report.

The family takes this trip to Baker’s Bay, a secluded private resort community in the Abacos where they own a home, every year, and they aren't about to stop just because they've decided to go through with the divorce. If you'll recall, the pair retreated to the island paradise the day after they announced their separation in June 2015.

A source tells X17:

"Both Ben and Jen feel it's important to maintain a level of normalcy for their kids. They're staying in separate bedrooms, but other than that nothing has changed. They all hang out on the beach, have family dinners, and just relax away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. The kids are out of school for summer, and they always look forward to the trip."

As for their brood, they're still adjusting to their dad moving out of the Pacific Palisades family home. The Batman actor is living just down the road in a Brentwood rental (pictured below), and they have started spending the night there. The Oscar winner has been doing everything he can to make it feel familiar and comfortable, including having Jen come over for meals and letting his girls pick out their room decors.

Breaking up is never easy to do, but they're doing it in the best way possible.
