A New Nightmare For Angelina! Zahara Jolie-Pitt's Birth Mother Wants To Re-Establish Contact With The 12-Year-Old

Posted on Tue Jan 17th, 2017 2:20pm PDT       By X17 Staff


This would make any adoptive parent uncomfortable.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's adopted daughter Zahara's biological mother wants to re-establish contact with the 12-year-old, she revealed in an interview with Daily Mail.

“I just want her to know that I am alive and here and long to be able to speak with her. I do not want my daughter back but just to be in contact with her and be able to call her up and talk with her,” Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, 31, who lives in Ethiopia, told the outlet.

The Oscar winner adopted the little girl at six months old in 2005, and the World War Z star filed to be her legal father a year later.

"Angelina has been more of a mother to her than I have ever been. She has been with her since she was a baby, but that does not mean I do not miss her. I miss her all the time. I think about her every day and long to hear her voice or see her face. I know when she has a birthday but I am sad because I can’t celebrate it with her. I would so much want to celebrate with her on her birthday and other special days. … I long to be able to have regular contact with her," Lebiso added.

So what does she want the middle schooler to know?

"I would like Zahara to know she has a mother who loves her as much as Angelina. Before I die I would like her to know about me and that she has family here in Ethiopia. I would ask Angelina to let me speak with [Zahara]. I do not think it is too much to ask," she noted.

Zahara was conceived when Lebiso was 19 after she suffered a brutal rape, but if she could make the decision over again, she would have chosen to keep her child.

"My baby was sick, and I was very weak and sick after birth. I agreed that she should be put up for adoption but if I had my chance again I would have kept her," she confessed.

Brangelina were initially under the impression that Zahara was an AIDS orphan whose mother had passed away, so they probably never thought in a million years they'd be dealing with a situation like this.

 

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Khloe Kardashian Jets To Cleveland Sporting Cornrows

We love love love her, but we don't love this hairstyle!

Khloe Kardashian arrived at LAX today to catch a flight to Cleveland, and the reality star was sporting some serious cornrows! Perhaps she put her tresses in braids because her hairstylist couldn't join her for the trip? The Revenge Body star has been making her long distance relationship with boyfriend Tristan Thompson work, but it's gotta be hard when your glam squad is based in LA.

The E! starlet is totally smitten with her NBA star beau, which is going to make Lamar Odom's plan to win her back even more difficult.

"I hope [he’s the One]! I mean, I think that’s why we are in relationships — to find the One. And, I mean, I am in love with him. I think he’s, like, the best. And yeah, so I hope so. Only time will tell," she gushed to Extra about Thompson recently.

In case you missed it, Lammy went on The Doctors and revealed just how much he misses his former spouse. "I just want my wife back," he told Dr. Travis Stork during the sit-down.

"Khloe is important to me. She's been through all of this with me and she stood right by my side so I just wanna repay her," he admitted. As for the rest of the K clan? "I just want to tell them I'm sorry for all that wasted time and wasted energy that in my addiction I didn't know who I was ... so I couldn't take care of myself. I damn sure couldn't take care of anyone else," he added.

We always thought Khloe and Lamar were soul mates, but this whole situation is more complicated now that Tristan is in the picture. We'll have to wait and see how this plays out!

Yeezy's name is not on the program!

Kanye West will not give a surprise performance at his "friend" Donald Trump's Inauguration, despite rumors to the contrary.

"We haven't asked him [Kanye West]. He considers himself a friend of the President-Elect, but it's not the venue," the chair of Trump's inaugural committee Tom Barrack confirmed.

"The venue we have for entertainment is filled out, it's perfect, it's going to be typically and traditionally American, and Kanye is a great guy but we just haven't asked him to perform. We move on with our agenda," he added when speaking to CNN's Erin Burnett.

Instead, America's Got Talent's 16-year-old singer Jackie Evancho and country star Toby Keith are slated to perform. Who?!

Is this real life?!

Chrissy Teigen and husband John Legend took their daughter Luna to Jessica Biel's Au Fudge restaurant in West Hollywood yesterday, and the supermodel looked flawless in a sweater dress, boots, and a black duster coat. Her baby girl's rosy cheeks are the cutest thing we've ever seen! The little one looks like a perfect blend of her famous parents.

Luna's daddy recently revealed she's hitting some big milestones!

"She's turning nine months right now. She's crawling, kind of propping herself up with the coffee table. She can stand herself up. She's not walking yet. It's a pretty fun time. We're enjoying this whole period of our lives and of her life," he told Entertainment Tonight.

The singer also dished that he wants more kids with his Sports illustrated stunner wife.

"We want to have more. I don't know the timing, but we definitely wanna have at least a couple more," he added.

They should have a million more if they come out as cute as little Luna Legend!

With her furry friend in tow!

Jennifer Lawrence is currently in Budapest filming her new thriller Red Sparrow, and we caught the actress shooting scenes in the streets of the city on Monday. The Oscar winner plays a Russian spy in the flick, which is being directed by Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence. "A sexy Russian spy falls for a CIA officer and considers becoming a double agent," is the plot summary on iMDB.

After wrapping up for the day, J.Law headed back to her hotel with her beloved dog Pippi. We wonder if boyfriend Darren Aronofsky accompanied her overseas? The pair have been dating for a couple months, and they were spotted packing on the PDA in New York in November.

Her career is on fire these days, and it sounds like her love life is too!

Aww they're in love!

Amber Rose and Dancing with the Stars pro Val Chmerkovskiy are still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship, but the dancer was slightly bashful when the couple got caught on the Kiss Cam at the Knicks game on Monday night. He gave his lady love a sweet smooch on the cheek, but a lot of people thought the SlutWalk founder would take it to the next level somehow. Stars - they're just like us!

"Why is he so cute tho,” the video vixen captioned a video of the moment on Instagram.

So how does Muva feel about her new romance?

"It’s amazing. It’s so good. It’s been four months now, and it’s awesome. I love his family, and everyone’s so great, and he’s great. It's like, you date someone, so you have to be with them for years and forever, and you have to get married. You date people to get to know them, and you either like them after six months or you don't, and you just figure it out along the way. Right now it's absolutely amazing, and I'm super, super happy," she confessed on her Loveline podcast.

They're adorable together!

 

George Michael's Cousin Thinks Singer's Death Was Caused By A Drug Overdose

Posted on Tue Jan 17th, 2017 9:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


We still can't believe he's gone...

George Michael's death on Christmas Day shocked family, friends, and fans everywhere, and although the singer's autopsy was "inconclusive" pending more reports, his cousin Andros Georgiou believes drugs contributed to his untimely passing.

“I think it was an accident. Hard drugs had been back in his life. I just think that he took too much of something, mixed with the anti-depressants and the other drugs he was on, with alcohol. I think his heart just stopped beating. You know if you take — if you’re on Xanax for instance, or Temazepam — your heart slows down anyway," he explained to BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire Show.

Georgiou noted that while "crack was one of [Michael’s] favorite drugs," he never touched heroin. "I know that is the one drug he would never touch," he noted.

Still, the "Faith" crooner would have never taken his own life, according to those closest to him.

"I believe he had suicidal thoughts over the last few years because his mental health wasn’t in the best place. I don’t believe this was suicide in a million years because why would you arrange such a huge dinner with the whole family if you’re going to kill yourself the night before. It just doesn’t make any sense. There’s a lot about this that doesn’t make sense," his friend revealed.

"He was actually getting better. He was planning the Freedom documentary. He had written some new songs. I know he had been out as well. He had been a recluse for nearly four years — I mean he was in rehab for three years. The papers reported it as a year but he was actually in that Swiss Clinic for three years before he came out. But he had stopped all the hard drugs. He was trying to lead a normal life again. I just believe he was dragged back in. You know, to the dark side," Georgiou concluded.

We're still so sad about this. RIP George.
