Kobe Bryant Announces His Wife Vanessa Is Pregnant With A Third Daughter

Posted on Wed Jul 13th, 2016 9:02am PDT       By X17 Staff


It's a third daughter for Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa!

The recently retired basketball star announced the happy news on Instagram on Tuesday with the caption of a onesie, red sneakers and a red bow that reads "Baby Mamba." Along with the telling pic, the 37-year-old wrote, “Beyond blessed and excited to share that we are expecting our third baby girl!!! #Blessed #BabyMamba #Thankful.”

The former Los Angeles Laker met Vanessa back 1999 when she was only 17. A mere two years later, the longtime couple in 2001. They welcomed their first child, daughter Natalia, in 2003, then they had daughter Gianna in 2006. It appears as if thirteen years after having their first daughter, Vanessa is pregnant one more time!

While things may be all bows and babies now, things haven't always gone so smoothly. Kobe was accused of rape and has admitted to cheating in 2003. The two stayed together through that. In December 2011, the model filed for divorce from her husband, citing irreconcilable differences.
 In January 2013, the 34-year-old revealed that the duo had reconciled. “We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled,” Vanessa shared on Instagram at the time. “We are looking forward to our future together.”


It looks like now that Kobe's retired from the floors -- he's ready to be a dad again!

 

Jennifer Aniston Slams People Like Us For Speculating That She's Pregnant

Posted on Wed Jul 13th, 2016 9:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


Normally she never comments on rumors, so this time she must mean business!

Jennifer Aniston just denied reports that she's pregnant in the most epic way possible, by penning an essay on societal expectations and body shaming of women.

"For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up. I’m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body-shaming that occurs daily. … If I am some kind of symbol to some people out there, then clearly I am an example of the lens through which we, as a society, view our mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, female friends and colleagues. The objectification and scrutiny we put women through is absurd and disturbing," she began.

"The message that girls are not pretty unless they’re incredibly thin, that they’re not worthy of our attention unless they look like a supermodel or an actress on the cover of a magazine is something we’re all willingly buying into," she added.

While we think the Friends star's points are valid, she seems to be forgetting that she has appeared on at least a half dozen magazine covers wearing unbuttoned shirts that expose her breasts, she's the picture of perfection in her SmartWater ads, and she's given countless interviews about her diet tips to media outlets. If she doesn't want us to focus on her appearance, maybe she should draw less attention to it? Just a thought!

The subject of motherhood has plagued her for years, and she's sick of women being made to feel inadequate for being single or childless.

"Here’s where I come out on this topic: We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child. We get to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. That decision is ours and ours alone. Let’s make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples. … We don’t need to be married or mothers to be complete. We get to determine our own ‘happily ever after’ for ourselves," she continued.

The Emmy winner noted that she hasn't ruled out having kids, but that she won't let the pressure get to her.

"I may become a mother some day, and since I’m laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know. But I’m not in pursuit of motherhood because I feel incomplete in some way … I resent being made to feel ‘less than’ because my body is changing and/or I had a burger for lunch and was photographed from a weird angle and therefore deemed one of two things: ‘pregnant’ or ‘fat.' Not to mention the painful awkwardness that comes with being congratulated by friends, coworkers and strangers alike on one’s fictional pregnancy (often a dozen times in a single day)," she concluded.

Her hubby Justin Theroux was clearly proud of her for putting her foot down. "WCW... and here's just one reason why," he captioned the below photo of her on Instagram with a link to her piece.

You tell 'em, Jen!

Britney Spears Shows Off Her Hot Body In "Private Show" Sneak Peek

Posted on Wed Jul 13th, 2016 7:00am PDT       By X17 Staff


She's baaaack!

Britney Spears released a clip of her upcoming single “Private Show” on Entertainment Tonight last night, and from the dance moves to the sexy outfits, this is a side of the pop star we haven't seen in a while! I mean, her Vegas shows are pretty wild, but she hasn't released new music in over a year, so this is quite exciting!

In typical Britney fashion, this song is of course tied in to some more serious business -- that being her TWENTIETH perfume. "'Private Show' is inevitably a sexy song and it promotes feeling sexy and girls feeling alive and I think that’s fun for girls," Spears told the show. "I think the scent definitely has a combination of all those things."

The song will be featured on Britney's upcoming ninth studio album.

 

EXCLUSIVE -Pregnant Blac Chyna Loads Up On Cheetos, While Making A Statement With "H8" Shirt

Posted on Wed Jul 13th, 2016 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Blac Chyna didn't seem to want her photo taken on Tuesday, but the pregnant reality starlet had no problem showing the world what was in her grocery bag! Blac, who is expecting a child with fiance Rob Kardashian, stopped by a local mall after getting her nails done, and she stocked up on Cheetos, among other goodies.

Perhaps she was feeling camera shy because she was wearing a "H8" jersey? With all the controversy surrounding Black Lives Matter lately, you'd think she'd give more thought to her outfit choice. Either that, or she wanted to make a statement just for attention.

While Blac's ex/baby daddy Tyga is back with Kylie Jenner, it seems like there is still some drama in the Kardashian household. On Sunday night's episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe told Kourtney, “My brother and I have always had such a strong connection and we’ve always been so close. So what bothers me is not that he’s engaged, not that he’s having a baby, but that Rob has completely just disconnected from me. He hasn’t spoken to me since he told us Chyna was pregnant. He’s not including me in his new life, so how could I be happy for someone or something that I know nothing about."

So who better than Lamar Odom to the rescue? Khloe's estranged hubby brought Rob to Khloe’s house so they could chat. Apparently that went well, but still -- you know the Blac/Rob union isn't 100% approved by the family!

We have a feeling he's punking someone...

Zayn Malik sat down for an interview with Glamour magazine, and when asked about leaving One Direction and launcing his solo career, he explained, “An alien spoke to me in a dream.”

Zayn left the band in March 2015, and though he stated that he wanted "to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight," he quickly released some of his own tunes. Seems like he was butting heads with someone!

While he didn't elaborate on the alien dream, he did dish the dirt on all sorts of things, including his first celeb crush: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. “They’re the same, right?” he joked. Zayn also revealed that he loves Michael Jackson and Bob Marley, and that he was 20 years old when he dyed his hair for the first time.

This girl has done everything she can, and she's sick of the haters!

Khloe Kardashian just broke her silence on Lamar Odom's drunken airplane meltdown, and she's clapping back at trolls accusing her of not "helping her husband." The reality star has tirelessly tried to help the troubled athlete recover from his October overdose and stay sober, but he seems unwilling to work on his addictions.

"Instead of running the streets with [Mr. Steal Your Girl] you need to be helping your HUSBAND," tweeted a user, in reference to her new relationship with Trey Songz. "Stay in your f---ing lane little girl. You know nothing about anything. You're a sheep herded by society," the blonde beauty snapped back.

It wasn't all nasty sentiments, though! A number of fans expressed their love and support of the E! starlet, and she took the time to respond to many of them. "You gave him your hand, he didn't take it. Stay strong, you are our role model," one person tweeted, to which she responded: Thank you sweet heart. I love you."

Khloe deserves a medal for all she's done for her estranged husband!

Taylor Swift Is Forbes' Top Earning Celebrity With $170 Million In 2016

Posted on Tue Jul 12th, 2016 12:50pm PDT       By X17 Staff


T-Swizz has one seriously huge bank account!

Taylor Swift made a whopping $170 million in 2016, landing her the top spot on Forbes magazine's Celebrity 100 list. The "Wildest Dreams" songstress' massive 1989 world tour brought in more than a quarter of a billion dollars in total, and her multiple endorsement deals with Diet Coke, Keds, and Apple also fattened her pocketbook.

Tay Tay's ex Calvin Harris landed at No. 21 in the rankings with $63 million in profits, but had they stayed together, they would have bumped Beyonce and Jay Z out of the Top Earning Celebrity couple spot.

Other celebs that made the cut? Adele at No. 9, Madonna at No. 12, and rival Katy Perry, who took the top spot last year, at No. 63.

We wonder if Tom Hiddleston still tries to pick up the tab for his super rich lady love?!
