POTUS could always be a comedian, because he's hilarious in this!

Either Hillary or Donald is set to take over his job in November, so Barack Obama enlisted the help of Stephen Colbert to brush up on his job interview skills in this hilarious new sketch, which aired on The Late Show on Monday.

The TV host played "Randy the Office Manager" as he looked over the Prez's resume and attempted to offer him some tips. The funnyman noted that, for the 55-year-old politician, it was "a tough time to be starting over for a man" and inquired about why he had never been given a promotion.

"Honestly there wasn’t a lot of room for advancement in my last job. The only one with a more powerful position was my wife," Obama quipped.

You have to watch the full thing, it's great!

 

Gwen Stefani Returning To The Voice As Season 12 Coach Alongside Boyfriend Blake Shelton

Posted on Tue Oct 18th, 2016 11:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


The couple that works together, stays together!

Gwen Stefani is returning to The Voice as one one of the four main coaches for season 12, the network announced. She will be joined by boyfriend Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Alicia Keys.

The No Doubt front woman first signed onto the show for season 7, and then returned for season 9. She served as an "adviser" on season 10, and that's when sparks flew between her and the country crooner. Both were newly single after their marriages crumbled, and their romance began on-set.

Miley Cyrus is currently serving as a coach on season 11, and will sit out season 12 before returning for season 13. Christina Aguilera has gone back and forth between seasons as well, so this seems to be a pretty common thing.

"We can’t wait to experience the unique chemistry and energy Gwen, Alicia, Blake and Adam will bring to season 12. With Miley returning for season 13, we’re truly ecstatic about the unmatched musical know-how and talent coming together in our coming seasons," Paul Telegdy, president, Alternative and Reality Group, NBC Entertainment, told Variety .

The Voice season 12 is set to air February 2017. We bet Gwen and Blake are engaged by the time it premieres!

 

Russell Crowe And Azealia Banks' Fight May Have Been Caught On Tape

Posted on Tue Oct 18th, 2016 11:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


There's video!

It looks as if the hubbub between Russell Crowe and Azealia Banks was caught on tape, so says TMZ.

The outlet is reporting that the alleged drama spilled into the Beverly Hills Hotel's hallway and was most likely caught by surveillance cameras. Amazingly enough, both sides apparently think that the footage will back up their version of events.

Banks claims the Aussie choked her, spat on her and used the n-word while getting her out of his hotel suite, which was filled with guests. On the other hand, the Oscar winner's rep claims Banks threatened to cut his guests with a glass while at the dinner party/music listening party last Saturday night. Russell's peeps say the actor “bear hugged” Banks to get her out of the room.

We don't know how much of the incident was caught on camera -- maybe just Banks being left out in the cold, but Beverly Hills law enforcement says they will be checking the footage since Banks filed a battery report about the matter.

The site also claims that Crowe's camp would be thrilled if the scuffle was recorded because the video would show that their client was wrongfully accused and that the rapper is lying big time.

Umm we can't wait to see this video!

 

Tobey Maguire And Jennifer Meyer Split After Nine Years Of Marriage

Posted on Tue Oct 18th, 2016 10:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


2016 is the year or celebrity deaths and break ups ...

Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer have bitten the dust after nine years of marriage. Oh no!

On Tuesday, the pair released a statement to People: "After much soul searching and consideration we have made the decision to separate as a couple. As devoted parents, our first priority remains raising our children together with enduring love, respect and friendship."

While Maguire is known for his spin as Spider-Man, Meyer has her own clout in Hollywood -- she's a successful jewelry designer to the stars and the daughter of famed entertainment executive Ron Meyer, the former agent who created CAA.

The two met in early 2003 and got married four years later in Hawaii. They have two children together: Ruby, 9, and Otis, 7.

Despite the announcement, the couple was out and about with their kids on Sunday, so it appears as if they are still getting along …

 

Concierge At Kim's Paris Hotel Says There Was "No Real Security" At Luxury Building

Posted on Tue Oct 18th, 2016 9:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


How did her trusty bodyguard Pascal Duvier overlook this glaringly obvious detail?

The concierge involved in Kim Kardashian's terrifying Paris robbery is breaking his anonymity and speaking out about the night of the crime, and the most interesting part of his story is the fact he claims there was absolutely no security in place at the luxury building! The 39-year-old man, named Abdulrahman, revealed that he had sent an email to his bosses in 2010 warning them of the dangerous lax security measures.
    "There was no real security at all. It’s a choice. The hotel doesn’t mind about security. We told them years and years before, you have to make a camera, you have to put [in place] a security process, about keys. Nothing was locked, there was no proper security there. I told the hotel years ago, you need better security and they didn’t mind. If you look at that big door, it wasn’t locked, it was open. We talked about it and nobody cared. The code of the door was never changed and everybody knew it. There is a camera in the main wall of the hotel, behind the big red [front] doors, but it didn’t work for years," he told Daily Mail.

The Algerian national is traumatized and living fear following the ordeal, and he plans to take legal action against the No Name hotel.
    "Immediately afterwards, I was very angry, and the first one I blamed was the hotel. They are responsible, I think. And I still blame them now. I told them, look what you did! What I told you for six years? Security cameras and other things are meant for days like today, to prevent these things from happening. If you have good guards, electronic systems to lock the doors, it can be possible to secure the hotel. One day, someone might be killed. That is more important than a robbery of rocks and metal," he explained.

The father-of-one also offered a play-by-play on the how the jewel heist went down.
    "I was behind the desk. The door was closed, but it is glass and they told me to open the door, making a motion behind the door. I saw police [uniforms], the hats, also the police jackets, with reflective badges, like the police have. I told them to open it because it was open, and he asked with gestures, he made me come to open the door. So I came to open it and just when I opened it, he grabbed me and handcuffed me. In the first seconds, I thought they were policemen making an intervention. I told them, I’m working here, what is wrong? After that he questioned me, where is the security video? At that time, I said sh**, it’s a robbery," he recalled.

The robbers even threatened his life!
    "At first I looked at them and one got very angry. He asked me to put my head down and never look at him again. He repeated, never, never look at me, or I will kill you. I saw that two of them had guns, then I just looked down," he noted.

Abdulrahman doesn't feel as if he has been treated fairly by authorities in the days following the crime, and believes his personal safety has been compromised.
    "I ended up having the handcuffs on until almost five in the morning because policemen did not have the ability to open them. It made me upset. The police were not very professional. They did not look after me afterwards, they didn’t offer me any counseling or anything. Psychologically, I have to repair myself. They told the press that I said [certain details] about the robbers’ identities. That was very dangerous for me, as it shows I gave evidence to the police," he lamented.

The suspects are still at large, and if found, face up to 30 years in prison for armed robbery by an organized gang, criminal conspiracy and kidnapping.

 

Rose McGowan Writes Scathing Open Letter To Hollywood Following Rape Claim

Posted on Tue Oct 18th, 2016 9:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Rose McGowan will not be silenced!

Over the weekend, the 43-year-old wrote a series of shocking tweets claiming that she had been raped by a Hollywood exec -- and now she's penned a scathing open letter to Hollywood, imploring the community to "stop rewarding predators."

Over the weekend, Rose made waves when she posted a string of Tweets: "Because my ex sold our movie to my rapist for distribution," "Because it's been an open secret in Hollywood/Media and they shamed me while adulating my rapist," and "A (female) criminal attorney said because I'd done a sex scene in a film I would never win against the studio head." Each comment ended with “#WhyWomenDontReport.”

On Monday, Rose followed up the shocking claims when she wrote a pointed letter, "Dear Hollywood, To the women and men in the entertainment industry who know exactly whom and what I am talking about, I say be brave. Do not work with those you know to be offenders or you are no better than they. Take a stand."

The Charmed actress continued, “You are culpable for your actions. Stop rewarding sociopaths. Every time you sanction abhorrent behavior, you are aiding and abetting a crime, that makes you no better than the criminal."

The outspoken star went on, "How many more stories do you have to hear before you do the right thing and stop rewarding men that are predators? Why are you so cowardly that you would take the softer, easier way out?"

Wow! You go, girl!

I'll miss our stressed out rehearsals more then anything tho 😂 Love Amberony," she captioned a silly throwback photo of the pair.

The sexy dance pro was flattered, and it sounds like he shares those warm and fuzzy feelings.

"My dearest Amberony! Thank you for some of the best weeks of my @dancingabc career! You've not let me down and only made me more and more proud each week. You've become a friend and an older sister (although you're younger....you know what I mean :)), and this is definitely just the beginning of 'Amber and Maks," he wrote.

"This experience got cut short and I wish we would have just a few more weeks, but it happened exactly as it were meant to and I have absolutely no regrets. The world has yet to see what you can really do and I can't wait to be in your corner when it does.... Love, Me," he added.

Maks is expecting a baby with fellow pro Peta Murgatroyd, so now he's got more time to focus on daddy duty!

 

Howard Stern Slams Donald Trump's "Locker Room Talk"

Posted on Tue Oct 18th, 2016 8:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Even shock jock Howard Stern is shocked by Donald Trump's "locker room talk" -- now that's really saying something!

During his SiriusXM radio show on Monday, Stern, who has had Trump on his show on several occasions, talked to sidekick Robin Quivers about Trump's “locker room talk" claims, following the recent scandal involving leaked tapes in which the Republican presidential candidate can be overheard making lewd comments to Billy Bush, using the now-infamous phrase: "grab them by the p-ssy."

Stern, who is known for his own devious behavior and talk, had a number of things to say on his show about Trump's assertion that his inappropriate comments about women were mere "locker room talk" -- and nothing more.

“A lot of the show that I’ve been doing for my entire life, radio show publicly, is an effort to sort of do ‘locker room talk,’ to express all kinds of s--t and just not even care what anyone thinks,” said Stern.

The 62-year-old continued, “But this idea of ‘locker room talk’ … all the times I’ve been around guys — and believe me when I’m around guys 85 percent of the times you’re talking about p--sy — but I have never been in the room when someone has said, ‘Grab them by the p-ssy.’”

The radio host added, “No one’s ever advocated going that step where you get a little bit, ‘Hey, I’m going to invade someone’s space … A lot of [locker room banter is] real kind of desperate talk. The reason it’s in a locker room is because no one’s proud of it.”

Let's get real -- if Howard Stern thinks you've gone too far, then you've really gone too far!

While Stern was quick to slam Trump's comments, he also said he won't replay old tapes from the businessman's past appearances because he doesn't want to “f--k someone over.”

Oh come on, Howie!
