Birthdays

Elton John turned 70 over the weekend ... holy crap.

As you might imagine, Sir Elton's birthday party Saturday night drew a HUGE celeb crowd at Red Studios Hollywood, as well as some kick-ass performances.

Stevie Wonder played ... so did Lady Gaga. Meanwhile the crowd was full of stars like Katy Perry, Neil Patrick Harris, Rob Lowe, Kelly and Sharon Osbourne, James Corden, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Tilly, David Foster, Dakota Johnson, Matthew Morrison and Ryan Phillippe.

Even at 70 ... Elton's still standing ... and playing.

Bow Wow celebrated his big 3-0 two weeks ago but that hasn't stopped his party train from rolling into strip club after strip club with stacks to blow.

Bow Wow's latest stop was Club Onyx in Dallas Wednesday. It was thrown together last minute but Bow Wow still managed to shell out over $15k on the dance floor and even got a FaceTime call from Snoop!

You'd think 9 parties deep into celebrating his birthday he'd be done, but he's got 2 more coming up this weekend.

Robin Thicke made sure his 40th birthday was literally fun for the whole family -- adults and his 6-year-old son alike.

Robin hosted a luau-themed bash at his Malibu pad Sunday, and Julian was in the thick of it with some cousins and friends there too.

The adult guests included Adrien Brody, Angelica Bridges, Russell Simmons, Orlando Bloom and his son ... and, of course, Robin's gf April Love Geary.

As for the party -- magic show, 2-story water slide, mechanical shark, petting zoo, face painting ... in other words every kid's dream. They had hula dancers too ... fun for kids and adults.

Sources close to Robin tell us he was thinking "family first" when he planned the event.

Paula Patton was not there, but as we reported ... she and Robin are getting close to settling their custody war.

Model Hailey Clauson is all about the plus-size model movement, but only from the sidelines ... based on what she told us about her birthday celebration, anyway.

We got Hailey at LAX -- she turned 22 on Tuesday -- and she made it clear she wouldn't be indulging too much ... due to work. Translation: I don't wanna look fat for a photo shoot!

Still, she's clearly happy hers isn't the only body type killing it in modeling these days.

Bottom line? Hailey's gonna have her cake, and eat it too. Later.

Danielle Bregoli's now getting true star treatment ... huge paydays for showing up at events and just being herself.

We're told Danielle is making more than $40k to do a meet and greet in May with fans at the Rolling Loud Music Festival.

The owner of the company throwing the festival tells us he also cut a deal to throw Danielle's 14th birthday bash in March, and she'll get a cut of the ticket sales.

Danielle's reps -- yeah, she has them -- tell us this is their new norm -- $30k minimum for appearances in the U.S. and $40k if she has to leave the country.

Floyd Mayweather wanted one gift for his 40th birthday in L.A. Thursday night ... not to have to talk about Conor McGregor... the question is, did he get it?

TMZ Sports got Mayweather leaving Roku in Hollywood, the first stop on his weekend-long massive 40th birthday blowout celebration.

Floyd talked to our cameras about the chinchilla floors in his whip, the RIDICULOUS watch on his wrist, even about his nephew, who he says is gonna run all his companies.

What he wouldn't talk about? Conor, saying he wanted to take his bday off from all the madness.

Happy birthday, champ (please, please get the fight made).

Selena Gomez missed out on The Weeknd's 27th birthday bash ... even though she picked up the nearly $30,000 tab for her bf.

The Weeknd's surprise party went down Monday night at Dave & Buster's in Hollywood, and his pals French Montana, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Travis Scott, Migos and Bryson Tiller were all there. They enjoyed open bar and open games. Sources inside tell us Travis was tearing up Dance Dance Revolution.

We're told Abel and co. had the run of the place from 11 PM to 2 AM. Meanwhile, Selena was in NYC for Fashion Week ... but made sure to leave her credit card to handle all charges.

Ellen DeGeneres turned 59 ... and she can certainly draw a crowd.

Ellen celebrated at her Bev Hills home with lots of famous well-wishers, including Jimmy Kimmel, Bruno Mars, Channing Tatum, Gwyneth Paltrow, John Legend, Michael Keaton and Jessica Alba.

60 should be a blowout.

Future and Big Bank Black blazed their own party trail for a friend's birthday -- including a pit stop to rage with a busload of hot chicks -- but predictably ... it ended at the strip club.

The rappers were celebrating big record exec Ricardo's bday in Atlanta Wednesday night. They hit up STK steakhouse, shut it down for a private dinner, and dropped around $37k.

We're told the 3 amigos moved on to Gold Room nightclub -- open just for them -- and bussed in around 20 beautiful women to party. They spent $10k apiece in 2 1/2 hours.

Finally ... they left those hot chicks and met up with a new group at Platinum strip club, throwing down more than $15k for 30 minutes of entertainment.

So, if you're keeping track ... that's around $82k for Ricardo's birthday. Judging by the pics -- it was worth it.

Gabrielle Union made it rain all over Dwyane Wade Tuesday night -- when she threw him a surprise 35th birthday party complete with money that had his face on it!!

The party was sick -- catered by Popeyes Chicken (delicious) and included live performances from Twista and Do Or Die (some of D-Wade's favorite rappers).

The only downside ... the party went down after Wade and the Bulls lost to the Mavericks earlier in the evening.

Betty White hit 95 today and she's still going strong, doing what she's best known for ... working her butt off in Hollywood.

Sources close to Betty tell TMZ ... she's preparing for a guest spot on the sitcom "Young & Hungry" on Freeform TV. So, instead of relaxing on her bday, we're told she's doing a table read and running around on set. Impressive.

As for Tuesday night, our sources say Betty has very low-key plans ... just a small get-together with friends. We're jealous of those friends.

Happy birthday, golden girl!

Kylie Jenner's 20th birthday will be delayed by 10 days this year ... because her own calendar couldn't even get the date right.

The 2017 edition -- sold exclusively on her website -- lists her bday as August 20. Kylie was born on the 10th. On a positive note, there's lots of cake ... on Kylie.

The misprint isn't just a one-off fluke either. We're told it has appeared on multiple calendars since its release a couple weeks ago ... possibly all of them.

As we've reported ... Kylie, inc. was flooded with quality complaints last year, and this ain't a great start for 2017. At least the calendar got her dog's bday right.

Seems like a head or 2 might roll for this -- but Kylie's camp had no comment.

LeBron James ate like true king with prime meats on the menu to celebrate his 32nd birthday.

The Chosen One hit up Fahrenheit Friday night -- the night of his birthday -- in Charlotte with a bunch of his teammates ... including Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson.

We're told he rolled in around 8:30 PM and the group sat in a private room ... where they ordered $3k worth of food and drinks. LeBron specially requested a blackened salmon salad while the rest of the ballers feasted on 60-day aged NY steaks and lobster tails.

They washed it down with some Hennessy and Moscow Mules before the big dessert -- chocolate and vanilla bean cake ... delivered by Chef Rocco Whalen himself.

So, why Charlotte? The Cavs play the Hornets tonight.

John Mayer celebrated Taylor Swift's birthday not by throwing a party, but by throwing MAJOR shade her way.

John tweeted a not-so-subtle diss at his ex Tuesday -- her 27th born day -- calling it "the lamest day of the year." He pulled the classic post-and-delete ... which only makes it more obvious it was a shot at Taylor.

Dear John clearly still has some bad blood with T Swift.

On a happier note -- happy birthday, Taylor? Belatedly.

Kylie Jenner played dress up by putting on much LESS clothing, and it was all for Christina Aguilera. Sorry, Tyga.

KJ made an encore appearance in her Xtina costume at Aguilera's 36th birthday party Saturday night. Kylie dressed like Christina from her "Dirrty" days of 2002 ... just like she did for Halloween.

Normally, it's a serious faux pas to repeat a costume, but Kylie says Christina made a special request. Plus, they kissed on camera.

No tongue, but we're still good. She should wear this every night, actually.

Floyd Mayweather was gonna make $35,000 for 90 minutes of work at a Vegas nightclub ... but blew it off because he didn't feel like leaving Europe ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Mayweather's being sued by the SLS Hotel in Vegas -- which says they had a deal with Mayweather to host his 39th birthday party at their Foxtail Nightclub on February 20.

All Floyd had to do was show up ... host the party and do the red carpet -- and bam, easy $35,000.

The SLS says he even got half the money in advance.

Problem is ... Floyd allegedly bailed at the last minute so he could "stay in Europe for his birthday."

Obviously, the club was pissed ... and demanded the advance back, which Floyd has allegedly refused to fork over.

The SLS is suing for the money back -- plus additional damages.
