UPDATE - Rio Authorities Claim Ryan Lochte's Teammates Confessed To Fabricating Robbery

Posted on Thu Aug 18th, 2016 12:40pm PDT       By X17 Staff


The truth seems to be slowly coming out...

Ryan Lochte is caught up in a major scandal amid rumors he lied about being held up at gunpoint during a robbery at the Rio Olympics, and now Brazilian authorities are claiming his witness pals Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz, who were pulled off a plane for questioning Wednesday, have confessed that the story is fabricated, People reports.

"Their story was not right. We knew on Sunday that their story was not right, because it didn't make sense. The stories that the two men told us were not the same. The other two men would not speak to us. So we knew that they were lying," the Brazilian police source dished to the mag.

"Everything they said was a lie and not true. When [Lochte] went on American TV and said his story, it made Brazil look bad when he was the one who had been doing the wrong thing. The video shows a completely different story than what we were told by the athletes. It's very disappointing to all of us. We are reaching out to Ryan to ask him to set the record straight and be completely upfront with what happened, whatever it was. Nothing happened that can't be fixed, but everyone needs to be on the same page, and we all need to know exactly what happened," the source added.

"All four of them need to be completely honest right now. This affects the safety of everyone who is still down here," the source concluded.

Lochte sources, though, tell TMZ the smoking gun gas station video was edited and the hold up was cut out. That source also debunks reports that his teammates confessed.

Time to come clean, guys!

Kylie Jenner Gets Locked Out Of Her Car After Shopping Spree

Posted on Thu Aug 18th, 2016 11:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


What's a girl to do? If you're a Kardashian, you hire someone to handle it!

Kylie Jenner ran into an unexpected problem when she got locked out of her car after a shopping spree at Maxfield yesterday, but she didn't seem too upset about it. Perhaps she accidentally brought the keys to her new $4.5 million Calabasas mansion into the store with her instead of the keys to her ride?

In other Ky news, the teenage reality star is still rocking that huge diamond ring on her wedding finger, and reports are surfacing that her famous family is petrified she may have already secretly tied the knot with her deadbeat boyfriend Tyga!

"Kylie’s quietly putting this rumor out there, which she’s spread before, but this time it has more plausibility. Apparently her main motivation for wanting to get hitched is to help Tyga, who’s getting hell from Blac Chyna over custody of King," a source dished to Radar.

"The two wouldn’t mind beating Rob and Blac to the punch," the source added, noting that, "Kylie’s absolutely nuts if she exchanged vows with Tyga” and that “everyone’s trying to get to the bottom of what’s really going on.”

There's no shortage of drama and plot lines for Keeping Up with the Kardashians, that's for sure!

 

Simone Biles May Be Heading To Season 23 Of Dancing With The Stars

Posted on Thu Aug 18th, 2016 11:18am PDT       By X17 Staff


Is the Olympics' golden girl, Simone Biles, gearing up to take the floor on the 23rd season of Dancing with the Stars? It sounds like it.

Apparently both Simone and the DWTS producers have set their sights on the other. The 19-year-old, who has nabbed five medals at the Rio games, is the producers' top pick among the Olympians to two-step into America's heart.

An insider for the ABC show tells Us that, "They would love to cast some Olympians if possible."

The source also says that the ABC competition series' team has been waiting until after the games to nab who they wanted.

A rep for DWTS says the show doesn't comment on rumors. But Simone is!

Simone told Us that she would love to be on DWTS if her busy schedule allowed. After winning the gold in vault, she said, "I think Dancing With the Stars would be so cool! I can't dance, but that's what it's for. I don't know — we'll be so busy, we have tour, and if that happens, and I can do it, that would be amazing."

The little darling certainly has had a whirlwind few weeks. She's become America's most decorated gymnast, winning four golds in all-around, vault, floor exercise and the U.S. team's overall win. She won bronze in balance beam. To add to the excitement, Simone aldo got a kiss from her celeb crush, Zac Efron, on Tuesday's episode of the Today show.

What a cool summer!

😘🌹

Rob Wants More Babies With Chyna, This Baby Will "Probably Not" Have A 'K' Name

Posted on Thu Aug 18th, 2016 10:50am PDT       By X17 Staff


Maybe he should see how it goes when the first one gets here? Just a thought!

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna did their first Facebook Live chat to promote their upcoming reality show Rob & Chyna yesterday, and the couple dished on everything from their first date to their plans to expand their family. Among their revelations? Kimmy K's little bro already wants more kids, they might not stick with the 'K' naming tradition, and the sock designer has dropped a small fortune on Philly cheesesteaks for his pregnant bride-to-be!

The pair dished that they first met at Kendall Jenner's Six Flags birthday party, and their first date was actually at Khloe Kardashian's house, where they drank "a lot of Hennessy" and cooked. Interesting, because we know how much Khloe flipped out when she learned the family nemesis had spent time at her pad!

So when's the wedding?

"S--t, if it was up to Rob we would have been at the courthouse long, long ago," the makeup line founder exclaimed. Rob noted that that was true, but that he understands "every woman deserves to have a beautiful wedding.” Aww! Chy wants to be able to "snap back" before the nuptials and "turn up"/drink at the ceremony.

As for more babies, the former stripper says her man has big plans to add to their family. "Rob wants me to have, what, four more?” Chyna asked him during the livestream. “You can do, like, three more, so four total, plus King, so that’s five,” Rob said. For a guy that could barely leave his bedroom due to depression just last year, he might want to slow his roll a bit!

When a fan asked if they plan to "carry on the tradition of the K names," Chyna teased that they would have to "stay tuned" before adding, "I'm not trying to give no more details on the baby." Of course she isn't, those are her meal ticket! Rob, though, seemed eager to shoot that rumor down before it even got started. "But probably not," he jumped in.

We can't even believe we are giving them this much attention. Their show will go the way of I Am Cait, we know it!

 

A$AP Rocky Is All Smiles As He Hangs With Kendall And The Kardashians In Los Angeles

Posted on Thu Aug 18th, 2016 10:11am PDT       By X17 Staff


A$AP Rocky just couldn't stand to be away from Kendall Jenner!

The rapper was back in Los Angeles on Wednesday and hanging out with his new lady in no time. Our cameras caught the 27-year-old smiling wide as he pumped some gas before his night out with the supermodel.

Kendall and her new man hit up West Hollywood in his white Ferrari on Wednesday. Ever since they decided to take their casual fling to the next level -- it seems like things are cruising along nicely!

Last week we reported that the reality star's romance with rapper A$AP Rocky is "the real deal."

The two first sparked romance rumors when he attended Kendall’s PacSun launch in NYC on February 8. We first spotted the pair hanging out in November after Tyga’s concert.

It seems as though they’ve stayed in contact since then.

In June, they were spotted on a dinner date at L'Avenue restaurant in Paris before partying into the wee hours at Cartel Club. On July 13, the 27-year-old, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, took Kendall out for a meal at Mr. C in Beverly Hills. Rumors flew for months until we confirmed that the two were definitely hooking it up. Previously a source said, "He thinks Kendall is hot as hell. He's just having fun.”

Clearly it's more than just fun -- it looks a lot like love to us! And according to Hollywood Life, that's just what's going on between the two.

According to the site, A$AP‘s stepmom recently made negative comments about that Kendall was “not good enough” for her step son. The words apparently "shocked" and "rocked" Kendall, and caused her to have some second thoughts about the relationship. The outlet reports that A$AP did his best to calm down the leggy brunette, assuring her that he loved her -- and vice versa.

An insider tells the site, “It’s looking like his stepmom just brought them closer. He even told Kendall the magic three words — I love you — and he really meant that. She said it back to him, too."

Cuteness!

 

Watch Bethenny Frankel Tell RHONY Star LuAnn De Lesseps Her Fiance Is Cheating On Her

Posted on Thu Aug 18th, 2016 9:25am PDT       By X17 Staff


This is painful to watch!

Bethenny Frankel was tasked with the difficult job of telling Real Housewives of New York co-star LuAnn De Lesseps that her fiancé was cheating on her during Wednesday's episode, and watching The Countess react to the news was heartbreaking.

"Something was dumped on my lap, and I don't want this to be happening right now. I have to show you something and I have to tell you something, I don't want to be the one to have to tell you this. It's true… and it was Wednesday night," the Skinnygirl mogul admitted while armed with pictures of Tom Agostino Jr. "making out" with another woman at an NYC bar.

De Lesseps was so caught off guard by the revelation that she ran out of the room and begged crew to stop filming as she processed the betrayal. The multimillionaire cocktail founder doesn't regret what she did, though.

“It wasn't like this person was in a back alley doing a drug deal. [Tom was] in the Regency Hotel Midtown on their popular night, making out at the bar for two hours the night before [LuAnn’s] engagement party a week and a half after her engagement. That's the story, and I don't know what else to say. To each their own," she told Us Weekly at the launch party for her Watermelon Lime Skinnygirl Margarita.

"I suck at relationships. I'm not giving her any advice. I'm saying these are the facts, and the question remains, 'Would you want to know?'... I do have the receipts to prove it. Well, I've got dates and time stamps, so yes, I've got the receipts to show LuAnn," she added.

The second part of the big showdown airs next week. We can't wait to see what goes down!

Miley Cyrus And Liam Hemsworth Cancel Their Honeymoon Trip To Bora Bora

Posted on Thu Aug 18th, 2016 8:35am PDT       By X17 Staff


Miley Cyrus came in like a wrecking ball on her previous plans to honeymoon with Liam Hemsworth in Bora Bora. Apparently the mercurial songstress canceled the couple's flights as well as their lodging, according to Us Weekly.

“They had the entire trip planned, but Miley just decided she didn’t want to go there anymore,” says an insider. “They have yet to pick a new locale.”

There's been a lot of back and forth in regards to this wedding. At first they were allegedly going to do a small summer beach ceremony in ­Australia, but the 23-year-old threw out that idea.The new plan is to marry this fall in an unknown destination unknown.

A pal has said that Miley “is still very erratic with her decision-making."

While many of the details have changed it sounds as if there's one thing the "Party in the U.S.A" singer has not budged on -- and that's keeping the wedding small.

The insider says, “Miley is pretty adamant about having a small, private ceremony. But Liam wants a really big wedding, so I’m sure they’ll come to a compromise.”

We hope so! Otherwise they may break up again! The on-again/off-again couple were once engaged before -- in 2012, but parted ways in September 2013. They spent two years apart, but got back together in December 2015.
