This PDA comes on the heels of Pete sharing a shot of them side by side in 'Harry Potter' cloaks. Nothing screams official couple like 'Potter' gear!
Both just broke up with long-term partners too. Ariana dated Mac Miller for almost 2 years, but they called things off shortly after Coachella. Davidson was dating Cazzie David, daughter of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator Larry David.
For those wondering ... Ariana last hosted and performed on the 'SNL' in March of 2016.

Johnny Manziel's Canadian Football League coach told reporters Thursday the former Heisman Trophy winner has ZERO chance of being the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' Week 1 starter next month.

Jones: "[Laughs] Absolutely, absolutely."
Q: "So there's no scenario that --"
Jones: "No."
FYI ... this ain't a surprise, at least not in Vegas. Johnny's odds of being the starter were +200.

NOFX Vegas Massacre Remarks Were 'S****y and Insensitive'
10:55 AM PT -- A rep for the Camp Punk In Drublic Festival in Ohio -- where NOFX was scheduled to perform this weekend -- tells TMZ the band has been replaced in Saturday's lineup. The rep also tells us the band Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies (featuring Fat Mike) is also getting the boot. The rep says producers for the festival are shocked and disappointed by the band's recent statements.
NOFX is working its way up to an apology for saying at least it was only country fans killed in the Las Vegas massacre -- but, for now, the band is just admitting the comment was real shitty.
We're guessing frontman "Fat Mike" wrote the message ... "I can't sleep, no one in my band can. What we said in Vegas shitty and insensitive and we are all embarrassed by our remarks."
If you missed it, the group was performing Sunday in Vegas and, at the end of a song, a band member said ... "I guess you only get shot in Vegas if you're a country band." Another band member said, "At least they were country fans and no punk rock fans" killed.
Mike's message, posted on FB Thursday, said "We decided we will all get together to discuss and write an in depth, sincere, and honest apology because that's what the people we offended and hurt deserve."

Meanwhile, Ben's ex-GF, Tinashe, is also moving on ... she hit a nearby club where NBA star Donovan Mitchell happened to be partying too.

Oakland Raiders Owner Hits Golden Knights Game Commitment to Vegascellence
Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis was sitting right up on the glass at the Vegas Golden Knights game Wednesday night ... and even though the team lost, it's probably another big win for him.
The Raiders have been on a PR push to win over Vegas fans before the Silver and Black move into town -- they've taken out newspaper ads and put up billboards.
But, having Davis with his face pressed against the glass (sitting next to Jim Gray) is another good look for the Raiders ... especially since he's been to a TON of Knights' regular season games.
He's also supported other Vegas teams -- attending the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces game on Sunday night. That's commitment!
Don't worry Bay Area teams ... Mark's been courtside cheerin' on the Warriors this season -- he just likes Vegas better now.
And you would too, if this was your future home!!

Nikolas Cruz Recorded Himself Planning Parkland Mass Shooting 'You Will All Know Who I Am'
Nikolas Cruz recorded a chilling video of himself meticulously plotting how he was about to carry out a deadly attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
The Broward State Attorney's Office released the video Wednesday as prosecutors prepare to possibly ask for a death penalty trial. In one of the videos, Cruz looks into his cell phone and says, "With the power of my AR you will all know who I am." Prosecutors would not say when exactly the videos were made, though Cruz suggests in one video he was going to carry out the mass shooting later that day.
Cruz killed 17 people on February 14 ... a deadly outcome that triggered massive nationwide protests for better gun control spearheaded by the Parkland kids.
In another video, Cruz said his goal was to kill at least 20 people and said, "You're all going to die. Can't wait." Cruz faces 17 counts of first-degree murder and 17 counts of attempted first-degree murder.

Peyton Manning on Neck Injury: 'I Couldn't Throw the Same Way'

The NFL legend played with Tiger at PGA's Memorial Pro-Am in Ohio -- when he was asked if he thought Tiger could return to greatness after back fusion surgery.
"I can certainly relate," Manning said ... "It's about being flexible, being adaptive."
"I couldn't throw the ball the same way after my injury, but you learn to use your experience and football intellect. That's what he's doing. He's adjusted his game and his swing and using his experience and using other parts of his body to get some strength and power."
"For a golf fan, it's great to see him back out here."
Manning was also REALLY impressed with some of Tiger's shots -- and judging from the video ... you can see why.

It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.

Before she left the Oval Office, Kim posed for a pic with 45, which he posted. One of them smiled ...
Kim Kardashian West is all business, in a pantsuit, as she arrives at the White House to meet President Trump.
Kim and her attorney, Shawn Holley, entered through the security gate for the West Wing of 1600 Penn ... around 4:40 PM EDT.

Harvey Weinstein Indicted by Grand Jury on Rape Charges
Harvey Weinstein has just been indicted by a grand jury on multiple rape charges.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. announced Wednesday the grand jury handed up charges of rape in the first and third degrees, as well as committing a criminal sexual act in the first degree.
Vance said the indictment brings Weinstein "another step closer to accountability for the crimes of violence with which he is now charged."
As expected, the disgraced movie mogul did not testify on his own behalf during the proceedings. His attorney, Ben Brafman, thinks prosecutors have "unfairly denied access to critical information about this case."
Brafman says Weinstein maintained a 10-year consensual relationship with one of his two accusers.

Offset Thanks for Saving Me ... Here's a New Car!!!
Offset just paid back the good Samaritan who he says saved his life following his accident with a new car, so the guy won't ever have to walk to and from work again.
We broke the story ... the Migos rapper totaled his green Dodge Challenger in Atlanta earlier this month. He said he was swerving to avoid hitting a "crackhead" in the road.
The good Samaritan, Jamar, had been walking to work when he saw Offset climbing out of the wrecked car... at least that's how Offset described it. Offset says now Jamar will be driving around a new whip, instead.
The wreck was so bad Offset had to go to the hospital where his hand was bandaged. It's unclear exactly what Jamar did, but Offset says he got him to his destination safely.
As for Jamar's new whip ... it appears to be a Nissan Altima.

Michael Jackson Estate Sues The Walt Disney Co. You've Got Balls For Exploiting MJ's Kids!!!
The people who manage Michael Jackson's estate say The Walt Disney Co. has some nerve for profiting off the tears of MJ's kids and stealing a bunch of its property ... all to make a shoddy TV special they claim never came close to documenting Michael's 'Last Days.'
The estate just sued The Walt Disney Co. claiming copyright infringement and saying it never had permission to use a bunch of its footage for its "The Last Days of Michael Jackson" TV special ... which premiered last week to more than 5.5 million viewers.
In docs, obtained by TMZ, the estate claims Disney's lawyers told them they were making a documentary, so use of the MJ clips was fair game. But the estate calls BS ... saying the special "did not focus on his last days ... rather it was simply a mediocre look back at Michael Jackson's life and entertainment career."
The estate goes on to claim Disney jacked a bunch of MJ's songs -- including recordings of "Billie Jean" and "Beat It." The estate says Disney even exploited MJ's kids when they aired Paris Jackson's heartbreaking remarks about her father at his 2009 memorial service. The estate says it's never licensed that footage for commercial use.
The estate says it was never approached by Disney about the making of the TV special, much less asked for permission to use its intellectual property. The estate says that's ironic since Disney goes to great lengths to protect its copyrighted characters ... citing how Disney once sued a couple on public assistance for $1 mil when they dressed up as an orange tiger and blue donkey that looked too close to Tigger and Eeyore.
Estate attorney Howard Weitzman tells us, "Can you imagine using Disney’s intellectual property – like Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, Star Wars, The Avengers, Toy Story, and so many other works – without asking Disney’s permission or getting a license? The Estate has no choice but to vigorously protect its intellectual property, which is the lifeblood of its business.”
The estate is suing for profits Disney made off the special and other damages. We've reached out to The Walt Disney Co., so far no word back.
