They keep such a low profile that we almost missed them!

Robert Pattinson and fiancee FKA Twigs caught a flight out of LAX over the weekend, but just a few days earlier, they were partying with Drake at The Nice Guy. For people that guard their privacy so fiercely, that was quite a Hollywood move!

Rumors have been swirling for months that these two had split, but they're clearly very much together. Not that the nuptials are going to happen anytime soon, though! "Twigs is still enormously happy with Rob, and they aren’t rushing to have the wedding. Things couldn’t be better," a source previously dished to Us Weekly.

It feels like just yesterday that R-Patz was dating K-Stew, but now they're both happy in love with new ladies!

 

Ben Stiller Reveals He Had Prostate Cancer

Posted on Tue Oct 4th, 2016 10:12am PDT       By X17 Staff


Wow! That's scary!

In an interview on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show, Ben Stiller revealed that two years ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 48.

The 50-year-old revealed the shocking news on Tuesday, explaining that his doctor was able to catch and treat the cancer.

"It came out of the blue for me. I had no idea," Stiller explained to Howard Stern. "At first, I didn't know what was gonna happen. I was scared. It just stopped everything in your life because you can't plan for a movie because you don't know what's gonna happen."

The Zoolander actor also explained his decision to announce his cancer battle was to help other men."I wanted to talk about it because of the [PSA] test ... I feel like the test saved my life," revealed the funny man.

The PSA test, aka prostate-specific antigen test, is a blood test used to screen males for prostate cancer, which is, "The second most deadly cancer, but it's about one of the most curable," according to Stiller.

When the actor was first diagnosed, he made a call to his Meet the Parents co-star who beat prostate cancer several years ago. Stiller said, "The first thing I did when I got diagnosed was get on the internet to try to learn. I saw De Niro had had it. I called him right away."

Stiller and wife Christine Taylor told their two children, daughter Ella, 14, and son Quinlin, 11, about what was going on. "I told them I had something I had to deal with," he said. "They were pretty cool with it."

We're glad Stiller is okay and has pulled through. The Emmy winner said to Stern that he has a new lease on life, "Afterwards, it just gives you an appreciation for life ...Every six months I'm taking my PSA test to make sure I'm clear."

Bud Light

This is the most amazing news ever.

Lady Gaga announced that she's going to be performing at a string of local watering holes to promote her upcoming album, and little monsters everywhere are totally freaking out!

"My first performances were in dive bars in New York City and around the country, so working with Bud Light to go back to my roots to perform songs from my new album, Joanne, is such an exciting way to connect with my fans and share this music with them for the first time,” she explained of the Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar tour, set to kick off this week.

She also followed up the exciting announcement with a tweet to her fans. "Can't wait to sing new songs from my album #JOANNE for you on my #DiveBarTour with @budlight! First show Oct 5!" she wrote.

So who is Joanne, and why is Gagaloo's album named after her?

"When Mark [Ronson] and I wrote it, the decision to name the album that was in tribute to my father's sister, who died when she was 19. He was younger than her. She was very sick with Lupus. The death of her in his family and life left a scar that never healed. [The album is] everything about Joanne, which also happens to be my middle name. It's all the toughness of the pain of losing her that made us all strong and made us who we are. She is the woman of my past who is becoming and helping me bring more of my honest woman self into the future," she revealed during an interview with Zayn Lowe on Beats 1.

The first show, set to take place on Wednesday in a still-undisclosed location, will be streamed live via Facebook.

 

Melissa Etheridge Defends Brad Pitt, Calls Abuse Allegations "Completely Unfounded"

Posted on Tue Oct 4th, 2016 9:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Melissa Etheridge is definitely Team Brad! The singer was not subtle at all defending her boy Brad Pitt in his divorce battle with Angelina Jolie.

Doing an interview with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show, the 55-year-old singer, who has been a longtime friend of Brad, said she was “heartbroken” for her pal, calling the accusations of verbal and physical assault “completely unfounded.”

Etheridge said, “It breaks my heart that anyone would take something as personal as your marriage and your relationship and your rights to your children and do it as purposefully as I see it’s being done."

The rocker — who sang at Pitt's wedding to ex Jennifer Aniston -- has been through her own ugly split with ex Tammy Lynn Michaels in 2010. In the interview, the "Come to My Window" singer slammed Jolie, Laura Wasser and her legal team for the calculating moves they are making regarding the divorce.

The singer recounted her own experience: “I’ve gone through family courts. I've been twice around this block, and I know it really well, and I know when there's some forethought to just how mean and just how you're going to put disinformation out there first.”

Etheridge also said that she’d love to reconnect with the 52-year-old actor, whom she said pretty much ghosted on her when he hooked up with Jolie.

Etheridge added, “I really hope that he reaches back out … There are a lot of us who haven’t seen him in 10 years.”

To play devil's advocate, people change a lot over 10 years and there's a chance Pitt has changed a lot -- so maybe Etheridge doesn't really know who he is today … But let's get real, we totally agree with Missy! We're totally Team Brad too!

 

Kim's Assailants Still At Large; Paris Cops Think It's An Inside Job - Reports Claim Star Was Followed By Assailants Just Before Break-In

Posted on Tue Oct 4th, 2016 8:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


You just know they're working overtime to solve this crime...

The assailants who stole millions of dollars in jewelry from Kim Kardashian still haven't been caught, and cops believe the crime was an inside job, reports claim. Investigators think it's more than suspicious that the criminals knew just when to strike, just minutes after her bodyguard Pascal Duvier left for the night to protect Kourtney and Kendall at a Paris nightclub.

They are now reviewing other tenants in the building's phone records, as well as the people who knew Kimmy K's schedule and whereabouts the night of the incident. They are also looking at the surveillance footage from cameras surrounding the apartment. Has it not occurred to them that the thieves could easily have just been checking the reality star's Snapchat?!

In a disturbing twist, French authorities are now saying that the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was trailed by two men for days before the robbery, and they have their suspicions that they were involved in the heist.


"We know there was one man who pretended to be a photographer who followed the American celebrity on a motorbike to find out her whereabouts. Another man pretended to be a plain-clothed detective to try to get a seat next to her at the exclusive Ferdi restaurant on Thursday night. But both men were fakes. The photographer tried to listen in to the conversations by other snappers but he was challenged by the genuine ones. And the so-called policeman fled when staff at Ferdi asked to see his credentials," a source dished to the DailyMail.

"We know the licence plate of one of the vehicles used, a Fiat 500, and a photograph of one of the suspects. They both appear to be French and highly professional. But this kind of robbery could only have been carried out by a sophisticated international criminal organisation. It would have to be if they had any hope of re-classify the stolen jewels and sell them again," the source added.

The fact that this happened is still so insane to us!

 

Demi Lovato Tears Down Taylor Swift For "Tearing Katy Perry Down" In New Interview

Posted on Tue Oct 4th, 2016 8:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Demi Lovato is once again speaking out, slamming her rival Taylor Swift -- for slamming Katy Perry. Is this the pot calling the kettle black? Probably -- but we're definitely appreciating all the anti-Tay comments!

In a new interview with Glamour magazine, the "Confident" singer basically said that Tay wasn't a real feminist.

Glamour's Emily Mahaney asked, "You’ve said before, in regard to Taylor Swift, 'Don’t brand yourself a feminist if you don’t do the work.' How do you see yourself doing the work?"

The 24-year-old replied:
    "Just speaking out … I’m not afraid to talk about the fact that women get paid less than men in the United States and how unfair that is. Talking about it at all is doing the work. And I think every woman does her part in some way. But I think in certain situations, certain people could be doing more if they’re going to claim that as part of their brand. To be honest, and this will probably get me in trouble, I don’t see anybody in any sort of squad that has a normal body. It’s kind of this false image of what people should look like. And what they should be like, and it’s not real."

Demi also tore down the "squad" in the Glamour interview, noting that the skinny ladies were all a specific (very slim) size. "It’s not realistic," Wilmer Valderrama's ex told the mag.

The singer went on saying, "I think that having a song and a video about tearing Katy Perry down, that’s not women’s empowerment. We all do things that aren’t, but I have to ask myself, 'Am I content with calling myself a feminist?' Yes, because I speak out."

Previously, Demi came down on T-Swift in February after the Grammy winner donated $25K to Kesha during her sexual assault case against Dr. Luke. Demi criticized Taylor for throwing money at the problem instead taking "something to Capitol Hill."

She also made sure to tweet how much she loved Kim Kardashian amid the T-Swizzle/Kimye dispute.

 

Rihanna Debuts Super Long Dreadlocks On Instagram

Posted on Tue Oct 4th, 2016 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Rihanna just loves to switch up her hairstyle, and this week's look is a set of butt-length dreadlocked extensions. As Tim Gunn would say, that's a whole lotta look!

RiRi captioned the shot “buffalo $oldier,” and while it could be a look for Paris Fashion Week, it seems like it's for her character in Ocean’s 8, the all-female reboot of Ocean’s Eleven. “Rihanna tries to have a lot of input in the film,” a source told Us Weekly. “Recently, she requested that her character should have dreadlocks.” How fun! We definitely want to see that! And be friends with her, and hop on a yacht with her...

And get this -- RiRi even commented back to her fans on Instagram! One asked if the extensions were heavy, to which she replied, “as Goliath’s balls," while another asked how long she's been wanting to do this. “Since I was 14, but mama Fent’z wasn’t havin it!" she responded. "Hehe."

 

Kanye West Reschedules Concerts After Wife Kim Kardashian Was Held At Gunpoint And Robbed

Posted on Tue Oct 4th, 2016 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Kanye West has rescheduled two of his concerts after wife Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in their Paris apartment.

Live Nation said in a statement on Monday night, “Due to family concerns, this week’s Philadelphia and Detroit dates on the Saint Pablo tour have been rescheduled." The new dates for those shows are December 13 and December 22, respectively, and the company added that the rapper's tour would resume as planned on Friday, October 7.

Kim was held at gunpoint and millions of dollars of jewelry were stolen from the couple's Paris apartment on the morning of October 3, and Kanye learned of the incident when he was onstage in New York at the Meadows Music & Arts Festival. Just seconds into performing "Heartless," the rapper told the audience, “I’m sorry, I have a family emergency. I have to stop the show." Kim then jetted to New York to be with her hubby and their two children, Saint and North.

Five intruders dressed as police officers broke into the couple's posh Paris residence and escaped with an estimated $10 million of jewelry, along with personal electronics. Kim's rep said the starlet was “badly shaken, but physically unharmed,” and E! added in a statement, “[We] are incredibly thankful that Kim Kardashian West is safe, and we send her and her family our love and support. Keeping Up With the Kardashians was not filming at the time of the robbery. Our focus right now is entirely on Kim’s well-being.”
