Her wedding won't be quite as big a deal as her sister's, but this is still big news!

Pippa Middleton is engaged to her boyfriend James Matthews, and she told reporters outside her London home on Tuesday that she "couldn't be happier." Aww!

"Miss Pippa Middleton and Mr. James Matthews are delighted to announce they became engaged on Sunday, July 17 and plan to marry next year," the pair said in a statement.

"They make a wonderful couple and we wish them every happiness together," her dad Michael Middleton said in his own statement. "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are absolutely delighted with the news," a Kensington Palace spokesperson added.

Matthews popped the question on a romantic vacay in the Lake District in northwest England. The pair first began dating in 2012 before splitting, and then the socialite went on to date Nico Jackson for three years before rekindling the flame with Matthews in 2015.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are getting a new uncle!

 

Taylor Swift Can't File Claim Against Kanye And Kim For Recording Phone Call

Posted on Tue Jul 19th, 2016 10:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Taylor Swift just has to sit back and take it ...

Taylor Swift won't be filing charges against Kim Kardashian and Kanye West for secretly recording and leaking her phone call with "Yeezy" -- because it appears as though Tay had NO expectation of privacy.

TMZ reported that Taylor's lawyer threatened Kanye with prosecution for taping the now-infamous call and the outlet reported that Taylor has been considering filing a police report. But here's the thing: if someone records a "confidential communication" in California and the other person in the conversation doesn't know that they are being taped, it's a crime. However, "confidential communication" does not include conversations that "may be overheard" -- which Taylor knew.

Tay knew that the convo with Kanye was on speaker phone because Rick Rubin spoke up several times. In addition, there are a number of Kanye's crew who can be heard speaking during the call -- which means that Taylor was aware others were listening in -- which means Kanye didn't violate the law by recording the conversation. But he definitely skated by the law on some majorly thin ice.

Many are taking sides over the controversy, including Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" director, Joseph Kahn, who tweeted some shocking comments in an attempt to defend the singer during her feud with Kimye.Kahn launched attacked the Kardashians on Twitter, comparing the couple's Internet attack on the pop star to Robert Kardashian's involvement in family friend Nicole Brown Simpson's murder trial during in the 1990s.

The director wrote, "Ain't the first time the Kardashians supported the murder of an innocent blonde woman."

Kahn pushed the boundaries even further when she wrote, "People always ask me how to be famous. My answer is simple. Have your dad defend murder of a woman. Release sex tape. That's it. Good luck."

But Kahn wasn't the only one going for the Kardashian's jugular. Taylor Swift's bestie Abigail Anderson took a major swipe at the couple when she tweeted some majorly passive aggressive comments. The BFF wrote (and then deleted) “Lord, hear my prayers. … I pray God helps your daughter understand, that despite how many times she’ll hear daddy reference all women as ‘b*tches,’ she isn’t one."

"I pray she understands her father actually IS faithful to her mother, despite all the adulterous comments she will hear her father making. … I pray that she will understand ‘adultery and bitches’ are just daddy's form of art and not to worry because not every man thinks like him. … Lastly, I pray for forgiveness. May God forgive you & your wife for doing to others the very things you pray are NEVER done to your daughter.”

No wonder she deleted those tweets -- they're nuts!

Posted on Tue Jul 19th, 2016 9:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


You know the romance is heating up when you're borrowing your man's ride!

Kendall Jenner showed up to check on construction at her new West Hollywood pad yesterday in boyfriend Jordan Clarkson's pricey Mercedes McLaren, and that wasn't the only place she went in her beau's whip.

After overseeing her home repairs, she headed over to film scenes for KUWTK with sister Khloe. The ladies lunched at Mr. C in Beverly Hills before heading to the dentist's office, and they had their fair share of topics to discuss over salads. The supermodel's relationship with the Lakers star seems to be going strong, as she was spotted in the audience at his game on Sunday night.

The pair were first rumored to be dating around Coachella, and they most recently celebrated the Fourth of July together at a Malibu rental property. We still can't believe a member of the KarJenner clan actually wants to keep her private life private!

 

BREAKING NEWS - Lady Gaga and Fiance Taylor Kinney Break Off Engagement

Posted on Tue Jul 19th, 2016 9:10am PDT       By X17 Staff


We guess it was a bad romance!

Lady Gaga and fiancé Taylor Kinney have called it quits after more than five years of dating, TMZ reports. They reportedly separated earlier this month, although it is still unclear who initiated the split.

Signs of trouble were present in recent weeks, so this doesn't come as a total shock. The TV actor celebrated his birthday without the songstress, and she was spotted in Malibu last week without the engagement ring he gave her.

The Chicago Fire hunk popped the question with a giant heart-shaped diamond on Valentine's Day 2015. The two met on the set of her "You & I" music video in 2011, and after about a year of dating, they split, only to get back together. Guess they should have stayed broken up the first time around!

The pop icon is currently in Cabo focusing on charity work. You can see her ring-less finger as she belts out "Born This Way" to a group of foster kids. We want her to get a happily ever after!

 

Melania Trump Accused Of Plagiarizing Michelle Obama's 2008 DNC Speech

Posted on Tue Jul 19th, 2016 8:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Looks like Melania Trump is a copycat!

Many people have been quick to point out that the Donald’s third wife’s speech at the RNC last night in Ohio was pretty much copied from Michelle Obama’s DNC speech back in 2008.

Last night , the Slovenian native said:
    “My parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect. We want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”

Meanwhile, FLOTUS’ speech in 2008 had much of the same verbiage, and all of the same sentiment:

    And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: That you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them.

    And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children -- and all children in this nation -- to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.

Interestingly enough, before the speech, Melanie apparently told a reported that she’d written the speech herself, but that she’d had “a little bit of help.”

Of course — it looks like she had a LOT of help, namely that a woman far greater than herself had given her the road map of what to say!

Despite all the controversy after her speech last night, Melania boasted to Matt Lauer today that she’d had very little help on the speech.

“I read once over it and that’s all because I wrote it with [as] little help as possible,” bragged the 46-year-old.
Well maybe she should have read it TWICE over (seeing as how this was for the RNC!)

On Tuesday, Trump’s campaign released a statement defending the the Trump campaign released a statement on Tuesday, July 19, to defend Melania’s speech.


“In writing her beautiful speech, Melania’s team of writers took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking. Melania’s immigrant experience and love for America shone through in her speech, which made it such a success.”

Yeah -- the fact that she plagiarized it did too!

Needless to say her hubby was quick to praise his wife, writing on Twitter, “It was truly an honor to introduce my wife, Melania. Her speech and demeanor were absolutely incredible. Very proud! #GOPConvention.”
More like #plagiarism …

 

Caitlyn Jenner Slinks Out Of Starbucks In Her Skinny Jeans

Posted on Tue Jul 19th, 2016 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


And is it just us, or is she totally making sexy eyes with the older gent who passed by her on the sidewalk? Work it, girl!

On Monday Caitlyn Jenner let her hair down and slipped into a pair of skintight pants for her daily Starbucks run, and she looked picture perfect when our photographers caught up with her. When asked whether she'll be joining Donald Trump and speaking out for the LGBT community at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, Jenner had no comment. Interesting, because we thought she'd be there by now!

Rumor has it she's giving a speech, though she has yet to confirm it. Last week she told the Daily Beast, “As a proud Republican and transgender woman, I want to support courageous Republicans who advocate for LGBT freedom. Our country’s nondiscrimination laws must be updated, and this cannot be achieved without bipartisan support. Congress needs to act, along with almost [30] Republican states, to update our nondiscrimination laws. I want to do my part to persuade more Republicans to support freedom for millions of LGBT Americans.”

 

Stylish Traveler Nicole Richie Jets Out Of Los Angeles With Her Kids In Tow

Posted on Tue Jul 19th, 2016 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Nicole Richie arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday afternoon to catch a flight with her daughter Harlow and son Sparrow, and she wore all black with her hair in a tiny bun. Not very summery, but she does work it like a boss!

While she's so bundled up we can't even tell what she's wearing, the reformed party princess recently revealed that she has her eye on a few fashion trends this season. “I love a pair of vintage 501 Levi jeans," she dished at Amazon’s Style Code Live event earlier this month. "Those are a good staple [and] they’re very comfortable. Another staple is a bodysuit. Now, not to plug my own things, but I make them, so you can get them from me. A good pair of slip-ons, a good pair of flats and I love sneakers. I love flat shoes. I’m all of 5’1, so high heels aren’t giving me any real height.”

Nicole also professed her love for coconut oil, and when asked if she had any makeup tricks, she revealed that she usually prefers to keep it minimal, but that she loves "orangey-red" lip color. Who would have guessed?

 

Ariel Winter Lets It All Hang Out For A Night On The Town

Posted on Mon Jul 18th, 2016 8:21pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Ariel Winter knows how to turn heads!

On Sunday the 18-year-old starlet hit the Nice Guy in Hollywood, and she basically let her entire booty hang out of her teeny tiny One Teaspoon shorts. Not that we're complaining though -- the teen TV star is definitely giving us something to talk about!

Earlier this month Ariel appeared on The View as a guest co-host, and the Modern Family starlet took the opportunity to slam body-shamers.

"I think there are so many bigger issues in the world that we should be focusing on than what we're wearing," she said. "I've been body shamed for just about everything I could be body shamed for. And when I got tattoos… every single person on the face of the planet had something to say about it."
