EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Kanye West Cuts Short LA Concert Due To Sore Throat, Tells Fans: "I'll Do Better Next Time"

Posted on Fri Nov 4th, 2016 6:39am PDT       By X17 Staff




After an hour of belting it out during his sixth LA date on the Saint Pablo tour, Kanye West gave up ...

The rapper's voice was giving out and he stopped singing, took a knee, and told fans the show couldn't go on. He said, "I'll do better next time."

The crowd booed and Kanye left the stage. Many concert-goers demanded a refund, though it's unclear whether Ticketmaster will offer any compensation. The set was only ten minutes shorter than planned -- for an extra concert date that was added only six days ago. Kanye's next stop is San Jose on Nov. 17, so he has a little time, now, to go home and relax and eat chicken soup with wife Kim K.

Speaking of Kim -- she was THERE! Kim went back to see her fourth LA show, with sis Khloe. But they stayed for only 45 minutes and then had their driver take them home. Weird!

Meanwhile, celebs like DJ Khaled and Usher seemed surprised by the shortened performance, heading out early from the Forum. New dad DJ Khaled left his baby boy and fiancee at home to fly out to LA to see the show ... guess he'll have to catch another show if he wants the full Saint Pablo experience!

 

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS - Kim And Kanye Fired Longtime Bodyguard Pascal Duvier To Replace Him With Armed Security

Posted on Thu Nov 3rd, 2016 1:53pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West let go their longtime bodyguard Pascal Duvier within days after the robbery of the reality star, according to an X17online source. Reason? - Kim now needs armed security after the life-threatening scare. It was a month ago today that KK was held at gunpoint in her Paris apartment and robbed of $10 million in jewelry.

A source tells us: "It was nothing personal; Pascal was just reassigned to another client by his parent company. He doesn't carry a gun, so Kim needed someone else to take over her security staff, to make sure all the bodyguards have gun permits."

E! Entertainment agreed to pay for the new staffing -- but the bills are racking up! Round-the-clock armed security for Wests is costing the network an arm and a leg and the show's producers are warning the family it won't go on forever: "The price of having these people constantly following Kanye around, sitting outside in a car while he's in a meeting, escorting Nori to the park -- it's insanely expensive. It's not going to last," our source tells us.

Still, despite the claim Duvier's firing wasn't personal, it certainly is curious that the Swiss bodyguard had filed for bankruptcy right before the robbery, due to the fact his company, ProtectSecurity, had racked up debts totaling around $1,226,205.

The 43-year-old first started working with West in 2012 and then later with Kardashian in 2013.

This is 47, people!

Jennifer Lopez singlehandedly made big booties a thing, paving the way for Kim Kardashian and a host of other enhanced starlets, so she took to Instagram today and showed off her enviable bum just to remind everyone who the queen is!

Clad in a skimpy black bodysuit, the singer flashed some serious sideboob and her perfect bubble butt while posing on a bed. Caliente!

Someone should rename her ex Casper Smart to Casper Stupid, because he cheated on this!

 

Kim Comes Out Of Hiding For Kendall's Birthday Party As She Inks Multi-Million Dollar Deal To Stay On KUWTK

Posted on Thu Nov 3rd, 2016 12:45pm PDT       By X17 Staff


She's slowly creeping back into the spotlight...

Kim Kardashian quietly attended Kendall's 21st birthday with Kanye last night at Delilah's in West Hollywood, and we have a feeling she's trying to have these low-key "spottings" get written about before she's fully back on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Kimmy K is definitely returning to the family reality show despite her Paris robbery, thanks to a fat payday!

"It wasn’t clear to the rest of Kim’s sisters how much of an impact Kim really has until she was gone. Their personal apps are plummeting and paparazzi on the entire family is half of what it was prior to Kim’s robbery. Everyone in the family has been aware of the fact that if Kim did not return, their show would be done after this season. So Kris had no other choice than to offer Kim a deal that she could not refuse," a source dished to Radar.

So how much dough are they throwing at her to keep the hit E! program alive?

"Kim is getting a $20 million bonus to return and she is also getting more control over the show in terms of production and direction. In addition, Kim insisted that she get her own camera crew instead of sharing one with her other family members, as well as her own team of personal security to make sure that she is safe. Kim knows her value now more than ever and she loves her fans," the source added.

This is all so calculated, in true K clan fashion!

 

Mila Kunis Pens Open Letter About Blatant Sexism In Hollywood

Posted on Thu Nov 3rd, 2016 11:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Mila Kunis ain't staying silent!

The Bad Moms actress has written an open letter in A Plus magazine, which is husband Ashton Kutcher's online publication about positive journalism, about sexism in Hollywood -- and it's blowing up the Internet!

    "Throughout my career, there have been moments when I have been insulted, sidelined, paid less, creatively ignored, and otherwise diminished based on my gender," she wrote. "And always, I tried to give people the benefit of the doubt; maybe they knew more, maybe they had more experience, maybe there was something I was missing. I taught myself that to succeed as a woman in this industry I had to play by the rules of the boy's club. But the older I got and the longer I worked in this industry, the more I realized that it's (expletive)! And, worse, that I was complicit in allowing it to happen."

In the letter, the Ukrainian-born actress detailed two specific experiences in her career where she dealt with sexism. In one instance, she says a male producer threatened that if she didn't pose semi-nude on the cover of a men's magazine that she would "never work in this town again."

The former That '70s Show actress wrote:
    "I was livid, I felt objectified, and for the first time in my career I said 'no.'"And guess what? The world didn't end. The film made a lot of money and I did work in this town again, and again, and again. What this producer may never realize is that he spoke aloud the exact fear every woman feels when confronted with gender bias in the workplace."

The actress then noted that a different male producer sent an email in which he called her Ashton Kutcher's "wife and baby momma!!!"

The 33-year-old wrote:
    "He reduced my value to nothing more than my relationship to a successful man and my ability to bear children. It ignored my (and my team's) significant creative and logistical contributions. We withdrew our involvement in the project."

The outspoken lady also made sure to say: "If this is happening to me, it is happening more aggressively to women everywhere." She's right!

She went on, "I am fortunate that I have reached a place that I can stop compromising and stand my ground, without fearing how I will put food on my table."

The brunette continued, "I am also fortunate that I have the platform to talk about this experience in the hope of bringing one more voice to the conversation so that women in the workplace feel a little less alone and more able to push back for themselves."

Hell yeah, Mila!

Who knew she had a little country in her?

Beyonce performed her song "Daddy Lessons" with the Dixie Chicks at last night's CMA awards, and she did surprisingly well considering this isn't quite the genre she's used to!

Rumors that Queen Bey was going to sing at the show started circulating hours before it began, and she didn't disappoint! All the big wigs in the crowd were grooving to her jam, and all we can say is she totally slayed!

Other celebs in attendance included Jennifer Garner, Matthew McConaughey, and Taylor Swift, who presented the Entertainer of the Year award to Garth Brooks. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood co-hosted the event, and couldn't resist making a few Trump - Clinton political jokes.

Looks like a fun time was had by all! Yeehaw!

During a particularly silly stop on Conan, Ryan Reynolds confirmed the sex of his second child with Blake Lively -- revealing that the couple had a baby girl back in September! That means Ryan is surrounded by ladies!

During the sit down, the Deadpool actor joked about living in a house with a "lot of estrogen." The overwhelmed papa added, "Two under two is tough! ... It feels like an American Girl Doll just took a s--t on my life. I’ll pour some cereal in the morning and there’s like a tiny shoe in there. That's a choking hazard for me!"

OMG! Love him!

Ryan and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants alum tied the knot in Charleston, South Carolina in 2012. They have another daughter, James, 22 months.

But that wasn't all that happened during the appearance -- Conan and Ryan also shared a lip lock in a hilarious sketch, The Notebook 2, in which they recreated the iconic rain scene from The Notebook with the two of them. LOOK AT THAT SMOOCH!

The fashion industry's "It" girl is officially a grown up!

Pals including Hailey Baldwin, Chris Brown, Travis Scott, Paris Hilton, Big Sean, and Will.i.Am also came out to toast the b-day girl, who looked stunning in a green fur and bodysuit before changing into a $9000 Swarovski crystal dress by designer Antoine Salameh.

Kim and Kanye arrived late night for a low key appearance, but managed to sneak into the club unnoticed. "They were very chill all night. Kim got on the mic at one point and said something funny and that was about it. She seemed pretty upbeat," a source dished to People.

So what did Kenny get as a gift? Oh no big deal, just a Rolls Royce! Life is good when you're rich, famous, and the legal drinking age!
