Zayn Malik Opens Up About His Anxiety, Reveals Taylor Swift Once Made Him Blush

Posted on Wed Jun 15th, 2016 6:30am PDT       By X17 Staff


Zayn Malik covers the latest issue of Dazed magazine, and the 23-year-old pop star chats about everything from fame to his personal life. Last weekend Zayn pulled the plug on a concert in the U.K. due to his anxiety, and he's received all kinds of praise for speaking so candidly about his mental health.

On how he prefers staying out of the limelight, Zayn said:
    “I don’t tend to go out much. I stick to my own bubble as it is. Creatively and socially, I think, as I’m getting older, that’s just the way I am. I haven’t done much acclimating. I’m just staying the way that I am. I think that’s the best way to keep your sanity. You’ve got to hold on to what you are and not let things get to your head, because if you do, that’s when everything comes crashing down terribly.”

So what about his fangirl moment with Taylor Swift?
    “I don’t get much feedback from my peers. I spoke a bit to Taylor. At Gigi’s house we briefly spoke and she told me she really enjoyed the album. It was nice to get some feedback. She said she thought I was cool, and I kind of blushed a bit and didn’t know how to take it.”

Zayn also commented on his departure from One Direction. “I just knew it was my time,” he explained. “I knew I wanted to do something different and start expressing the way I felt about certain things.”

Zayn and girlfriend Gigi Hadid broke up earlier this month, only to get back together within a matter of days. She has been by his side since he cancelled his appearance at the Capital Summertime Ball on Saturday night, and she even tweeted a message of support on Sunday.

"Z - I’ve seen the battles you go through and the way you fight to get to a place that allows you to get up there for your fans," she wrote. "Your bravery in those times makes me proud, but your honesty last night proved what you’re all about, being real. Human recognizes human. You made the best of the situation and have given your fans an opportunity to understand you better as a performer. Those who can find compassion now are the ones that deserve to watch you continue to grow. We are all here to support you and make each experience easier. Your talent and good heart will never lead you wrong. Love you and so proud of you always :) xG."

 

Richard Simmons Denies He's Transitioning Into A Woman, Speaks Out About Orlando Shooting

Posted on Wed Jun 15th, 2016 6:00am PDT       By X17 Staff

After the National Enquirer reported that Richard Simmons was transitioning into a woman named Fiona and getting breast implants, he took to his Facebook page to deny the story -- and speak out about the Orlando shooting.

In a statement posted on Tuesday, the fitness guru wrote:
    “Some tabloids have recently falsely reported that I am transitioning. In response, I feel compelled to set the record straight and refute these lies. Although I am not transitioning, I have and always will be supportive of those who are going through their journey. We should not lose focus on showing love, strength and compassion to all of the LGBT community during these tragic times. My broken heart and healing thoughts are with the people of Orlando and all other victims of prejudice, bigotry and hate.”

Simmons was hospitalized earlier this month at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after reports that he was behaving erratically. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and concern after hearing I was in the hospital,” Simmons later said in a statement. “I was dehydrated and needed some fluids and now I am feeling great! Summer is here — drink plenty of liquids. Big hugs and kisses for caring.”

Posted on Tue Jun 14th, 2016 2:42pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Back from their 24-hour whirlwind trip to Paris, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West caused total chaos as they arrived at LAX on Tuesday.

Despite all the insanity -- the 35-year-old was able to keep quiet when asked about Amber Rose's recent digs in the media at her expense. Not that again! Amazingly enough, Kim was able to take the high road even though she was prompted to fight back. Good on her!

Kimbo and her hubby were in the City of Lights to do a photoshoot with Karl Lagerfeld for a secret project they are working on with Carine Roitfeld. Oh la la!

Wearing the same ensemble she flew out of France in, Kim donned a suede duster coat, python bag, white jeans, a white tank and barely there shoes for her flight. Kanye opted for his usual all-black ensemble with desert boots.

It's been a big day for Yeezy -- the rapper just announced his first North American tour in three years, the Saint Pablo tour. The tour, which is produced By Live Nation, launches at Banker’s Life Arena in Indianapolis, IN on August 25. West's tour will hit 40 cities across the U.S. and Canada including New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, Montreal, Detroit, Washington DC, Miami and more. Tickets go on sale on Saturday, June 18.

Smokin!

Kylie Jenner took to Instagram to promote her new lip kit color Majesty yesterday, but who even cares about her cosmetic line when she goes braless in a white tank top for the photoshoot?!

The 18-year-old reality star is clearly making some serious dough off the makeup, because she bought herself a new mansion in Calabasas with all of her earnings. She also has her clothing line with sister Kendall, the family show, her bikini line with TopShop, her endorsement deal with Puma, and countless other projects. Girlfriend is making bank!

In other Kyls news, she and rapper PartyNextDoor are still going strong! "Kylie and PND are still dating. They are super attracted to each other. Kylie is really into PND, and it's taken her mind completely off Tyga. Kylie is happy right now, she feels very drama free without the constant arguing with Tyga. It was always so up and down and with PND it's very laid back. She likes that a lot," a source dished to E! Online.

Tyga who?

 

Bella Thorne Bizarrely Instagrams Her Colonoscopy

Posted on Tue Jun 14th, 2016 1:49pm PDT       By X17 Staff


TMI, gurl!

Bella Thorne kept cameras insanely close when she Snapchatted and Instagramed her colonoscopy on Monday. Umm ... gross ...

For some unknown reason, the redhead, who was outfitted in a blue hospital cap and gown, decided to post her very invasive colonoscopy on social media.

The 18-year-old posted several videos and snaps before and after the procedure, which is usually a routine test to check intestinal health for people over the age of 50.

She was quick to post several unflattering snaps and tell the world she was having the painful and uncomfortable procedure -- but we're a little confused about what teenager needs it.

When not showing the world about the journey of her colon, the busy starlet will be starring in three movies, You Get Me, Midnight Sun and Amityville: The Awakening.

Wrapped up extra tight!! Love my fairy god mother @sarajaye212

Police Called To Johnny Depp And Amber Heard's Home

Posted on Tue Jun 14th, 2016 12:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff


The drama isn't stopping ...

Reports are saying that the law enforcement was called to Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s apartment in downtown Los Angeles on Monday -- but it appears as though a mountain is being made of a mole hill ...

Officer Tony Im of the Los Angeles Police Department said that Heard’s attorney called police after people from Depp’s camp showed up to claim some of his belongings, reports Us Weekly.

The officer also says that the events were not in violation of the restraining order that the Rum Diary actress has on the actor. Im says that officers responded for a civil standby to “ensure that only the items listed in the court order were being removed."

The officer, who explained that neither Heard nor Depp was present at the home, clarified: “A representative for Johnny responded to retrieve some of his personal belongings. Johnny is not in any kind of violation."

Sounds like the "incident" was no big deal ...

One thing we do know is that the exes are expected in court on June 17 for a hearing about Heard's restraining order.

We bet he's glad he put a ring on it!

Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo are expecting a daughter in September, and the Maroon 5 frontman clearly loves the model's changing shape, because he posted this beautiful photo of her topless and showing off her baby bump on Instagram. "Yowl," he captioned the snapshot.

This is the first child for the couple, who tied the knot after a brief split in July 2014. The singer is a busy man juggling everything from music to his judging job on The Voice, but he might want to clear his schedule because parenthood is no joke!

 

Jimmy Fallon Stops The Jokes To Address Orlando Shooting On The Tonight Show

Posted on Tue Jun 14th, 2016 10:44am PDT       By X17 Staff


Like Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon gravely addressed the audience at The Tonight Show on Monday nighty, after a gunman opened fire at a gay club in Orlando, FLA. on Sunday, killing 49 people and injuring 53 others.

A solemn Fallon said, "As you certainly know by now, early Sunday morning there was another senseless shooting, this time at a dance club in Orlando, Florida. A dance club. It left 49 people dead, which is the largest loss of life due to a terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9/11."

The host continued, "I know everyone is angry right now and doesn't know how to react, and this is a time when people are looking to us as a country and how we will react," he told the audience. "This country was built on an idea that we don't agree on everything; that we are a tolerant, free nation that encourages debate, free-thinking, believing, or not, in what you choose."

The funny man continued, "I, as a new father, am thinking, 'What do I tell my kids?'" the father of two young daughters continued, his emotions bubbling to the surface. "What do I tell them about this? What can we learn from this? What if my kids are gay? What do I tell them?"

The 41-year-old said that there are lessons to be learned, explaining, "Maybe there's a lesson from all this. A lesson in tolerance. We need to support each other's differences and worry less about our own opinions. Get back to debate and away from believing or supporting the idea that if someone doesn't live the way you want them to live, you just buy a gun and kill them. Bomb them up. That is not OK."

No, no it is not ...

Meanwhile Anderson Cooper began Monday night's episode of Anderson Cooper 360 with a tribute to the 49 people that were murdered.

Cooper said, "In the next two hours we want to try to keep the focus where we think it belongs, on the people whose lives were cut short."
