'Vanderpump Rules' Ariana Madix Revenge Hair's Got Me Smiling ... Steps Out with New Look
"Vanderpump Rules" star Ariana Madix has every reason to hide away and feel sorry for herself, but she's doing the exact opposite ... with a big smile and new hairstyle to show off.
Madix was spotted in Los Angeles Thursday, grinning from ear to ear and sporting a lighter hair color as she waved to cameras before meeting up with a friend.
It's not the first time we've seen Ariana since we broke the news of her split with Tom Sandoval after discovering he'd cheated with Raquel Leviss -- she was recently celebrating a friend's wedding down in Mexico ... but she does genuinely look happy in these pics.
Earlier this week, Ariana broke her silence publicly on the "Scandoval," thanking everyone for the "outpouring of love and support i have received from friends, family, and people i’ve never even met in the last two weeks."
She continued, "to say i have been devastated and broken is an understatement." Finally, issuing a warning with, "What doesn't kill me better run."
The show's cast is gearing up to film what's sure to be a wild reunion in the coming weeks, TMZ broke the story, Raquel recently opened up talks with show producers to figure out whether or not she'll participate in the reunion.
One thing that seems certain, Ariana will be ready to roll come reunion day.

Kylie and Travis Legally Changing Our Son's Name ... Bye Wolf, Hello Aire

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott want to make their son's name change official in the eyes of the law ... TMZ has learned.
The famous parents filed new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, asking to switch the kiddo's name from Wolf Jacques Webster to Aire Webster.
The docs say Kylie and Travis are both on board with the change ... and they both signed the petition, which is now making its way through the courts.
In the docs, Kylie and Travis say they "regret the initial name choice of Wolf Jacques Webster. Now that Petitioners have had the chance to spend time with their baby, they believe the name Aire Webster is a better fit."
Remember ... Kylie and Travis announced in March 2022 they were scrapping their boy's original name, Wolf, because they felt like it didn't suit him. He had only been born a few weeks prior to the change of heart.
In January, a few weeks before the boy was set to celebrate his first birthday, Kylie revealed his new name, Aire. The name is of Hebrew origin and it reportedly means "Lion of God."
Kylie and Travis' first child is named Stormi ... so Aire fits in with his older sister's name.
The court has yet to sign off on the name change.

Cardi B Reports Are False ... I'm Not Releasing Beauty Line, Yet

Exclusive

Cardi B is nowhere near ready to release a new line of beauty products ... despite multiple reports claiming she is about to drop a new line with a name to honor her kids.
Sources close to the "WAP" rapper tell TMZ ... the recent flurry of news stories claiming Cardi is set to release a beauty product line called Kulture Wave are totally false, without a single shred of evidence to back up the claims.
We're told Cardi does not yet have a beauty product line ready for release ... though our sources say it's almost a guarantee CB will put something out in the future.
TMZ broke the story ... Cardi B locked up the rights to the phrase "Bardi Beauty" back in 2021, with trademarks covering all sorts of beauty products, including cosmetics, fragrances, haircare, skincare and nails.
As far as we know, Kulture Wave is just a made-up name ... and nothing more than a clever reference to her kids' names.
Of course, with Cardi's influence and reputation as a fashion and beauty-forward celeb, you gotta imagine something big is on the horizon if and when she decides to launch a line.

Jeffree Star is following up on his controversial remarks about people using they/them pronouns -- telling us he has no beef with nonbinary people, but he is accusing them of going overboard with labels.
We got the makeup guru Thursday at LAX, where he stood by the comments that got a lot of folks heated. He's fully aware of the brewing controversy, but insists it had to be said ... and, even further, he says he's the perfect messenger.
For those unaware, Jeffree recently got candid about people who use the gender-neutral pronouns they/them ... calling it "stupid" and some "bulls***" made up when Americans got bored during the pandemic.
While some saw it as a brutal, hate-filled statement ... Jeffree thinks people missed his point altogether. He tells us he recognizes nonbinary people are out there, and respects anyone's labels, but doesn't think he should be put on blast for speaking his mind.
FYI -- Jeffree got dragged online after his comments went viral, but for what it's worth, he also says he's gotten droves of people thanking him for speaking up. He says he's benefitting from the current backlash against so-called "cancel culture."

Madonna Stop Judging My Grammys Look ... It's 'Ageism and Misogyny'
Madonna is firing back at the haters who made fun of the way her face looked at the Grammys ... she says it's degrading and reeks of ageism and misogyny.
The pop star posted a lengthy social media rant Tuesday, addressing the jokes that were flying online during the Grammys, when she introduced Kim Petras and Sam Smith before they performed their Grammy-winning song "Unholy."
Madonna says the folks judging her physical appearance are focusing on the wrong thing -- Kim was the first trans woman to perform at the Grammys -- and she says the photos were "taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone's face!!"
She says it's just the latest example of her being "caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in."

64-year-old Madonna says anyone making wisecracks are part of a bigger problem ... she says our society refuses to celebrate women over the age of 45 and feels the need to punish women who, like her, are strong-willed, hard-working and adventurous.
Madonna's really digging in her heels ... saying she's never apologized for the way she looks or dresses and she sure as heck isn't going to start now.
While it was mostly Twitter users hurling insults, Madonna adds ... "I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come."
Madonna's also channeling another big winner from the Grammys, saying ... "In the words of Beyoncé 'You won't break my soul.'"
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Don't expect Madonna to shy away from the cameras, long lenses or otherwise ... she says she looks forward to many more years of subversive behavior, pushing boundaries, standing up to the patriarchy and enjoying her life.
Bottom line for Madonna ... "Bow down bitches!"

Kylie Jenner This Hose Will Do ... Single Livin' Ain't So Bad
Kylie Jenner seems to have no problem adjusting to life post-Travis Scott ... living it up and looking smokin' hot while on a recent vacation.
Check out the pics ... the 25-year-old was down in Turks and Caicos with some friends and made good use of a hose while she sprayed the sand off her feet after a day of relaxing in the sun.
Kylie's looking as good as ever, dressed in a pink bikini as she laid out on a reclining beach chair, sipping some sort of drink in the process.
Remember, Kylie and Travis recently split -- though it appears the two are still cordial -- coming together this past week to celebrate their kids' birthdays. The former couple's daughter, Stormi, turned 5 and their son, Aire, celebrated turning 1.
The separate birthday parties came with some controversy though, some fans thought the massive blow-up heads used as decoration were insulting to the victims from Astroworld -- as Travis used the blow-up head imagery to promote his album of the same name.
One thing's for sure ... if Kylie's feeling any stress, she certainly isn't showing it of late.

Kylie Jenner wearing a lion's head to a fashion show is getting positive reviews from an unlikely source ... the world's most famous animal rights group.
Yes, PETA is on board with the billionaire's wild outfit from Paris Fashion Week, with PETA president Ingrid Newkirk telling TMZ ... "Kylie's look celebrates lions' beauty and may be a statement against trophy hunting, in which lion families are torn apart to satisfy human egotism."
As we reported ... Kylie rocked the regal look Monday at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show in Paris and made sure to let everyone know it wasn't a real lion, saying it's a "faux art creation constructed by hand using manmade materials."
The Schiaparelli show also featured Naomi Campbell wearing a black wolf's head, which was most likely also fake.
PETA's president is applauding Kylie for going faux, telling us ... "These fabulously innovative three-dimensional animal heads show that where there’s a will, there's a way."

The back-slapping from PETA is a big turnaround for Kylie ... remember, she's been shamed in the past by animal rights activists for wearing real fur.

Gina Lollobrigida Italian Star Dead at 95
Gina Lollobrigida -- one the last mega celebs of old Hollywood and one of the most beautiful -- has died.
Her attorney says she passed away Monday in a Rome hospital. It's been reported she'd been receiving treatment for some time, but it's unclear for what.
Lollobrigida was a beloved and coveted movie star in the 1950s and '60s -- having costarred in films alongside Hollywood heavyweights like Humphrey Bogart, Rock Hudson, Anthony Quinn, Errol Flynn, Frank Sinatra, Yul Brynner and other leading men of the time.
While her acting career somewhat petered out post-'60s, she had a run for about a decade or so where she was one of the most in-demand A-listers, both here and abroad ... rivaling other starlets such as Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and more.
Some of her most famous flicks include "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," "Solomon and Sheba," "Come September," "Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell," "Beat the Devil," "Beautiful But Dangerous," "Crossed Swords" ... and countless others.
Another element she'll be remembered for ... just how much business mogul Howard Hughes was infatuated with her. He'd signed her to a movie deal early on, but while she was under his employ ... he's said to have proposed to her several times, only to be rebuffed.
Post-acting, Lollobrigida had a successful career in photojournalism, and even tried her hand at Italian politics -- which didn't turn out to be as fruitful. Still, quite the life indeed.
She was 95.
RIP
