Report: Janet Jackson Converted To Islam, Celebrated Son's Birth With Religious Ritual

Posted on Thu Jan 12th, 2017 10:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


She's got a new faith.

Janet Jackson secretly converted to Islam for husband Wissam Al Mana, and when she gave birth to son Eissa on Jan. 3, the little one was "baptized" into the religion with a spiritual ritual, Radar reports.

"As soon as the child was born, Wissam whispered in the boy’s right ear the word, ‘Adhan,’ which inculcates into the child that Allah is the only god and Muhammad is the only messenger,” a source dished to the outlet. The Qatari businessman then rubbed a soft fruit on his son's tongue, which is meant to signify that the infant will inherit the positive traits of his parents.

"We were told that a goat or a sheep was sacrificed, which is the case with every true Muslim birth when the parents wish to please and show thanks to Allah,” the source added.

So how is the legendary singer doing since giving birth?

"Nurses are waiting on them hand and foot," a source dished to Us Weekly about the songstress and her new addition, adding that they are living a "lavish life."

We want to see a pic of the little cutie!

 

Ashton Kutcher Responds To Natalie Portman's Gender Pay Gap Revelation

Posted on Thu Jan 12th, 2017 9:40am PDT       By X17 Staff


He's in her corner!

Ashton Kutcher has responded to Natalie Portman's revelation that she was paid significantly less than he was for their movie No Strings Attached, and he had nothing but encouraging and nice things to say.

"So proud of Natalie and all women who stand up for closing the gender pay gap!” he tweeted, along with a link to the actress' Marie Claire UK cover story.

"Ashton Kutcher was paid three times as much as me on No Strings Attached. I knew and I went along with it because there’s this thing with ‘quotes’ in Hollywood. His [quote] was three times higher than mine so they said he should get three times more. I wasn’t as pissed as I should have been. I mean, we get paid a lot, so it’s hard to complain, but the disparity is crazy," she confessed to the mag.

The Oscar winner went on to point out the unfairness towards women is especially brutal in Tinseltown.

"Compared to men, in most professions, women make 80 cents to the dollar. In Hollywood, we are making 30 cents to the dollar," she added.

She's the latest starlet to speak out on the issue, following on the heels of Jennifer Lawrence, Mila Kunis, and others. Bravo!

That's one way to keep a new boo's attention!

Selena Gomez made headlines yesterday after pics of her kissing The Weeknd hit the Internet, and the "Come & Get It" songstress has clearly gotten a boost in confidence over this new romance, because she just posed naked in a thong and had the photographer tag the "Starboy" crooner on Instagram!

The Grammy winner's ex Bella Hadid is none too pleased with the fact the brunette beauty moved in on her man, and decided to unfollow the Spring Breakers star on social media after she learned of the betrayal.

Miss Gomez should really be a little more sensitive, as she knows how it feels to have your heart broken in a million pieces. After all, she was d*cked around by Justin Bieber for years!

We've said it before and we'll say it again... Bella, stick it to her and go after The Biebs!

 

Kim Kardashian Doesn't Have To Go To Paris For Robbery Case, Judge Will Come To Her

Posted on Thu Jan 12th, 2017 8:15am PDT       By X17 Staff


Lucky break for Kimmy K!

Kim Kardashian won't have to travel to France to testify against the suspects in her Paris robbery case, TMZ reports.

Rather, the way the judicial system works in the country, the judge conducts interviews with the victims outside the courtroom, and will sometimes even travel to meet with the victim if they're located outside the region. Sources tell the outlet the reality star's case is the type a judge will travel for, presumably due its high profile nature and high value losses.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star won't ever need to come face to face with her attackers, as French law prohibits criminals from having the right to cross-examine the victim. Basically, the E! starlet can tell her side of the story to authorities in private.

According to French network TF1/LCI, some of the 17 suspects have already confessed, and cops have narrowed down their focus to five of the men, as well as one that drove the getaway vehicle. Several of them were known to authorities for previous crimes, including cocaine and counterfeit trafficking, as well as diamond theft.

We finally believe this actually happened!

 

Paris Jackson On Casting Of Joseph Fiennes As Her Late Father Michael: "I'm So Incredibly Offended"

Posted on Thu Jan 12th, 2017 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Paris Jackson is so unhappy with the casting of the white British actor Joseph Fiennes as her late father Michael in the TV special Urban Myths, she took to Twitter to say: "It honestly makes me want to vomit."

Tell us how you really feel, Paris!

Seriously, we don't blame her! The show is based on an alleged road trip Jackson took with Elizabeth Taylor (played by Stockard Channing) and Marlon Brando after flights were grounded following the September 11th terrorist attacks of 2001. Weird but intriguing ... but Paris finds the casting of Fiennes deplorable: "I’m so incredibly offended by it, as I’m sure plenty of people are as well."

She goes on to say: "It angers me to see how obviously intentional it was for them to be this insulting, not just towards my father, but my godmother liz as well."

And: "Where is the respect? They worked through blood sweat and tears for ages to create such profound and remarkable legacies. Shameful portrayal,” she continued, concluding, “He made a point of it plenty of times to express his pride in his roots. He would never have wanted this."

The production, Sky Arts, commented on the casting: "It is part of a series of comedies about unlikely stories from arts and cultural history. Sky Arts gives producers the creative freedom to cast roles as they wish, within the diversity framework which we have set."

YOU watch and decide ...

 

Kendall Jenner Denies Facial Reconstruction, Plastic Surgery And Lip Injections Of Any Kind

Posted on Thu Jan 12th, 2017 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kendall Jenner will absolutely not tolerate people suggesting that SHE -- a member of the Kardashian clan -- has had any sort of plastic surgery at all! Where the hell would anyone get that idea?!

The 21-year-old supermodel took to her web site to address rumors she had "facial reconstruction surgery" yesterday. The claims first started when Jenner deleted her Instagram account in November. Kendall wrote, "[P]eople were saying, 'Kendall deleted her account to have full facial reconstruction.'"

Kendall explains away her different look by telling fans her sister Kylie did her makeup the day the two live-streamed a Q&A in November. Jenner writes: "All of a sudden, photos of us came out with headlines like, 'OMG Kendall got her lips done and got full facial reconstruction—look at her cheekbones, look at her nose. I was like, this is CRAZY. I didn't even address it at the time. Because if I address it, people are going to be like, 'Oh, so she's defending herself—she must be guilty.' Kylie saw it all unfold and felt bad, so she went on Snapchat and took the blame.'"

So what Kendall's trying to tell us, folks, is that Kylie lip-lined the sh*t out of her face and Dr. Ourian wasn't involved. Got it!

 

Michelle Obama Makes Final Late Show Appearance As First Lady

Posted on Thu Jan 12th, 2017 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


We're so sad to see her go!

First Lady Michelle Obama made her final late show appearance of her husband's administration Wednesday night on >em>The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and it was everything!!!

Fallon asked the obvious question -- how Michelle feels about leaving the White House, and this is what she said: "It’s nuts, I feel like crying right now. I didn’t think it would be this emotional. It has been surprisingly emotional for all of us."

There were moments of levity, however, when the First Lady participated in Fallon's "Thank You Notes" bit -- reading her own gag notes to her husband: "Thank you Barack for proving you’re not a lame duck, but my very own silver fox. I’m angling for a good gift.” Another faux card read: “Thank you inauguration day or as I like to call it Let’s Move."

Awww ... we're not looking forward to that day!

 

Kim Kardashian Jets To Dubai To Make Her First Public Appearance Since Paris Robbery

Posted on Wed Jan 11th, 2017 3:10pm PDT       By X17 Staff


She's officially back to work!

Kim Kardashian arrived at LAX today with Scott Disick in tow to catch a flight to Dubai, and this trip will mark her first public appearance since her Paris robbery back in October. The reality star is set to participate in her longtime makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic's Masterclass this Friday, and the career commitment couldn't have come at a better time, as her robbery suspects were just arrested.

The mother-of-two looked toned down yet fashionable for her long travel day in a Pony tracksuit, which she accessorized with big black shades and her ever-present lip ring. A new ring we noticed? The simple band on her wedding finger that seems to have replaced her massive diamond that was stolen!

So why did she bring The Lord with her and not Kanye?

A source tells X17:
    "She wanted Kanye to accompany her, but his doctors didn't think the trip was a good idea right now. His mental state is still fragile, and a big event like this could be too much to handle. Kim was capable of going on her own, but Scott offered to accompany her, and he makes her laugh and keeps things light so she agreed."

Kimmy K seems determined to make 2017 her b*tch!
