Ryan Seacrest Is Pissed About Katy Perry's American Idol Paycheck

He feels snubbed.

Ryan Seacrest isn't happy about Katy Perry's reported $25 million American Idol paycheck, and he's considering not returning to the show because of it. Apparently, execs offered him $10 million to host the upcoming reboot, and he was giving it serious thought before he learned how much the "Chained to the Rhythm" songstress was set to bank.

"[He] was suddenly asking himself why he would come back for a 16th season at a salary [much smaller than that] of the newcomer judge,” Richard Rushfield, author of American Idol: The Untold Story, wrote in his email newsletter, the Ankler.

"Ryan isn’t pleased with the protracted negotiations. But he is hopeful that a deal can be reached given his affection for the show," a source dished to Page Six.

KP, on the other hand, is thrilled she's breaking the glass ceiling.

“I’m really proud that, as a woman, I got paid. And you know why? I got paid, like, more than like pretty much any guy that’s been on that show," she bragged on 03.5 KTU last week.

It's time to show him the money!

 

BREAKING NEWS - Tiger Woods Arrested For DUI

Posted on Mon May 29th, 2017 9:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


This guy makes some pretty bad decisions!

Tiger Woods was arrested for DUI early Monday morning in Jupiter, Florida. The pro golfer was taken into custody around 3am and released from the Palm Beach County Jail around 10:50am. Details of the situation, like if there was someone else in the car, have yet to surface.

This isn't the first time the athlete has been under suspicion of driving under the influence. Back in 2009 when he had his blowout fight with then-wife Elin Nordegren, he smashed into a tree after allegedly taking Ambien, but he was not charged.

He doesn't look too thrilled in this mugshot!

 

Kim Talks Kylie And Tyga's Split, Her Failed Marriage To Kris Humphries, And More On Watch What Happens Live!

Posted on Mon May 29th, 2017 8:20am PDT       By X17 Staff


Juicy!

Kim Kardashian appeared on Watch What Happens Live last night, and dished all the family dirt to Andy Cohen. During a round of Plead the Fifth, the reality star got candid about Kylie and Tyga's split and Kris and Caitlyn Jenner's estrangement. She also touched on her failed marriage to Kris Humphries, but something she wouldn't really discuss? That much-buzzed about feud with the K clan's former stylist Monica Rose.

The E! starlet admitted that she knew soon after her wedding to Humphries that the marriage was doomed. So why did she go through with it?

"I just thought, ‘Holy s—, I’m 30 years old, I better get this together. I better get married. I think a lot of girls do go through that where they freak out thinking they’re getting old and have to figure it out, all their friends are having kids. It was more of that situation," she explained.

As for her younger sister and her rapper beau, the brunette bombshell confirmed their breakup, but in the most diplomatic way ever.

"You know, I feel like [there was] a lot of drama, and it doesn't mean he's a bad person at all. And what was great was that it was so easy, that split. There has not been any drama with her since," she revealed.

That's not the case for her mom and former stepdad. When Cohen asked if Kris and Caitlyn would ever speak again, Kimmy made it clear that relationship is dunzo.

"Zero. No, one. No, I would say two percent. And those are Kendall and Kylie. That's their percentage. All fair, I think," she sniped.

She was in such a chatty mood for this sit-down, they really should have asked her about Kanye's mental breakdown! She would have probably given us answers!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Kate Hudson And Boyfriend Danny Fujikawa Get Frisky At The Playground

Posted on Sun May 28th, 2017 8:52am PDT       By X17 Staff


Look away, kids! Kate Hudson and rocker boyfriend Danny Fujikawa got frisky in a neighborhood park on Saturday, as Kate's son Bing played on the playground. Fujikawa grabbed the actress in a strong embrace and Kate caved, giving her boyfriend a smooch as they stood in the sandbox.

The pair have been dating since March, when we spotted them sharing a romantic dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. They've kept their relationship pretty low key, but they did appear on the red carpet together, in their first official appearance as a couple, at the LA premiere of Goldie Hawn's film Snatched earlier this month.

Kate and Danny bonded over Bingham, helping him on the slide, watching him as he climbed the fire truck play structure and admonishing him for kicking up sand. As the trio left the park, they looked every bit the happy family. Of course, Kate's tried twice before -- with Black Crows frontman Chris Robinson, with whom she shares son Ryder, 13, and with Muse rocker Matt Bellamy, Bing's dad. Perhaps third time's a charm?

 

Miranda Kerr Marries Snapchat Billionaire Evan Spiegel In Small Home Wedding

Posted on Sun May 28th, 2017 7:57am PDT       By X17 Staff


Here comes the bride!

Model Miranda Kerr and Snapchat founder-billionaire Evan Spiegel were married Saturday in an intimate ceremony at their Brentwood home and X17 was there to take a peek into the chic affair!

Kerr, 34, and Spiegel, 26, announced their engagement in July 2016 and since then, Kerr's been flashing a huge rock on her ring finger from the tech mogul. It's the second marriage for the Victoria's Secret model who was married to Orlando Bloom from 2010-2013. The former couple share son Flynn, 6, who dressed up in a black vest and tie for the big day.

The event was low-key, with mostly family in attendance -- the wedding party was fewer than 50 people. A reception was set up on the tiered terraces behind the couple's expansive Brentwood home, with a long white table to seat all the guests, surrounded by flowing white drapes.

We snapped a woman priest heading into the event, but she also had a robe in her hand that appeared to be a rabbi's gown. Maybe she was pulling double-duty for the Christian (Miranda) - Jewish (Evan) couple?!

There was tight security, with a German Shepard sniffing at guests and a security guard patting down all staff and delivery people. Miranda's Malibu home was the target of an intruder last October, which ended in a security guard being stabbed in the eye and the eventual shooting of the intruder.

But now that the wedding went off without a hitch, the two can head off on a romantic honeymoon and seal the deal ... yep, that's right! Miranda said they were waiting until marriage to have sex! In February, Kerr told The Times of London, “My partner is very traditiona ... We can’t . . . I mean we’re just . . . waiting.” Well, the wait is over!

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS & VIDEO - Whoa, Papa Joe!

We love us some Papa Joe, but Jessica and Ashley's dad looked a little worse for wear after a night at the club, on Friday.

The talent manager/man-about-town was excited about launching a new singer he's repping but he was having a hard time getting the words out as he chatting with our photographer. Granted, on-camera interviews aren't the Simpsons' forte ... Jessica on Ellen earlier this week was, well, disastrous but amazing to watch! Now, Joe Simpson is proving the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ...

 

Kourtney And Kendall Return From Cannes; Watch Us Ask Kourt About Scott's Fling With Bella Thorne!

Posted on Sat May 27th, 2017 8:33am PDT       By X17 Staff


Back from paradise! And now it's time for Kourtney Kardashian to face questions about baby daddy Scott Disick's tryst with 19-year-old Bella Thorne. While Kourt was sharing a stateroom with male model boyfriend Younes Bendjima on a yacht with half-sis Kendall Jenner, Scott decided to take his teenage f-buddy to the South of France. As soon as he sobered up slightly, he realized he had made a massive mistake and kicked her to the curb ... or back to the Nice airport, as it were, and traded up for last-summer's POA Chloe Bartoli.

As the two put on a sexy display for photographers, making out in the pool of Scott's luxury villa, ass-grabbing for the cameras, pathetic Bella was Tweeting, "Yo this #cannes fancy life isn't for me." Uh, yeah -- it's not for you because you got dumped and didn't have a choice. And because teens with septum rings and zits don't play well with the chic Cannes crowd -- you're not going to Gotha with rainbow hair, darling.

So back to Kourt -- she, with her shiny travel skin -- didn't feel like talking about Scott's vacay hookups, plural; she simply made her way to the car with a smirk on her face. Kendall, meanwhile, looked like she was ready for Aspen -- apparently she forgot that, while LA isn't the French Riviera, it's not glacial! Why all bundled up, KJ?
