Couples

Ariana Grande's got the only accessories she needs to live her best life ... her smile, her boys and a brand new album.

The "7 Rings" pop star was rollin' deep Thursday night as she was leaving Nobu in Malibu ... where she, along with friends and family, celebrated the release of her new album, "thank u, next."

The highly-anticipated 12-track collection -- her second in the last 6 months -- has been out less than 24 hours and it's already being dubbed a masterpiece and, arguably, her most mature and revealing album to date.

There's a track on it called "Ghostin'" and many fans believe it's about her longing for Mac Miller while she's with Pete Davidson. One of the verses goes, "Though I wish he were here instead. Don't want that living in your head. He just comes to visit me. When I'm dreaming every now and then."

Of course, the first single -- the title track -- became a huge hit when Ariana dropped it back in November. Despite all the success ... Ariana's still dealing with drama over the Grammys.

As we reported ... she called out the show's producer, Ken Ehrlich, for lying about why she's not performing at the Grammys. He said she was too frazzled to pull it together in time for Sunday's broadcast -- but AG called BS, saying Ken stifled her efforts to perform "7 Rings" ... so she said deuces.

More Jeff Bezos related news ... his girlfriend's estranged husband seems to be moving on with a hot young model.

Patrick Whitesell, the husband of Lauren Sanchez and co-CEO of William Morris Endeavor talent agency, hit up The Nice Guy nightclub in WeHo Thursday night, along with Keir Alexa.

Whitesell, a former close friend of Bezos -- who introduced the Amazon honcho to Lauren -- was mum on Bezos' attack on the National Enquirer, claiming the outlet was trying to blackmail him.

Whitesell, who reps Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Amy Schumer, Michelle Williams, John Krasinski and many others, had security who made sure he and the woman could separately beeline it to their waiting ride.

As for Sanchez and Bezos, they've been laying low -- we haven't seen them together for a month.

Justin Bieber says he was celibate for a year before getting back together and eventually marrying Hailey Baldwin -- and it sounds like he did it (or didn't do it) for the man upstairs.

The Biebers are featured in a new interview with Vogue, where JB revealed that he'd decided to keep it in his pants for a full 365 days prior to reconnecting with his ex last year as a way of "feeling closer to God." He says he thought it would be a good way of bettering the condition of his soul ... and thinks God rewarded him with Hailey as a result.

Even when they got back together, Justin says they refrained from sex until officially tying the knot in September during their NYC courthouse visit.

Bieber also says he had a "legitimate problem with sex" ... citing it as his remaining vice that didn't provide pleasure anymore. Speaking of vices, Justin also says he abused Xanax in his youth, adding ... "Drugs put a screen between me and what I was doing" -- namely, his promiscuity. He also says his security would sometimes check his pulse at night to see if he was still breathing.

Welp, the Biebers are legally hitched now -- so it's safe to assume they've been busy between the sheets. They say one of their motivations in getting married last September was because of a desire to have sex.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are back in the luxury real estate market, because the couple is pulling out of a $14 million deal for a super exclusive Miami Beach condo.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Kim and Kanye are no longer going through with the deal after deciding their money would be better spent on a piece of property that's more private and secluded.

We're told Kim and Ye are looking into real estate in the Bahamas and other tropical destinations ... and they want something the whole family can enjoy.

There aren't exactly gift receipts for $14 million condos ... and we're told Kim and Kanye are losing their $600,000 down payment.

As we reported ... Kanye surprised Kim with a condo in an uber-exclusive building, dubbed "Billionaire Beach Bunker," as a Christmas present.

But, after they were photographed on their new condo's balcony, we're told Kim and Kanye realized the place wouldn't be right for them, because it lacked privacy for them and their fam.

J.Law is about to inherit some I-Laws -- 'cause she's newly engaged ... and not afraid to show off the ring on a date night with her fiance.

Jen was spotted flashing her new rock Monday night in NYC while grabbing dinner at Raoul's French bistro with art gallerist and soon-to-be-hubby Cooke Maroney -- who popped the question after 8 months of dating. Her rep confirmed they're set to be hitched.

Based on how much this thing shines ... something tells us it's a beaut up close, and probably pretty damn big. And, clearly, she's happy to flaunt it.

This is Jennifer's first engagement after some very public relationships in the recent past. She dated 'X-Men' costar Nicholas Hoult for a few years, and was most recently linked to director Darren Aronofsky ... with whom she also worked in 2017's "Mother!"

She was reportedly introduced to Cooke this past summer through her pal, Laura Simpson, and has been going strong with him behind the scenes since then.

It's like they say ... third time's a charm.

Sixers fans lookin' to use Kendall Jenner as a scapegoat better check the facts -- Ben Simmons' boo is actually GOOD LUCK for Philly ... so says team co-owner Michael Rubin!!

KJ and the NBA stud have been an on-and-off item for about a year ... but things appear to be heating up, with Jenner showing face at A LOT of Sixers games these past few weeks.

TMZ Sports spoke with the billionaire at his Fanatics Super Bowl event in Atlanta about whether he's worried of the popular "Kardashian Curse" ... and it's safe to say dude thinks it's a bunch of BS.

"13-2 since they've been dating," Rubin tells us ... which doesn't make sense if you're looking at Philly's schedule, the team's actually 11-4 in their last 15 games ... but we get what he's saying.

Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale sure seemed like a couple Friday night as they left his stand up shows in West Hollywood.

The 25-year-old 'SNL' star held on tight to 45-year-old Kate as they left the Coronet theater. They then beelined it to their hotel in Santa Monica.

Pete -- who did 2 shows as Kate looked on -- has been doing great.

Davidson's clearly back in circulation ... he's fully back on 'SNL' following his troubling Instagram back in December. He's been out and about with best bud, Machine Gun Kelly.

As for history ... Ariana Grande and Pete called off their engagement October 14. As for Kate, her husband, Len Wiseman, filed for divorce in 2016. It's unclear if the divorce has become final.

Halsey's relationship with her new rocker boyfriend doesn't look like a drag -- the 2 seem to be totally into each other ... even when they're just standing around smoking.

The singer was spotted out in WeHo Thursday night with British musician Yungblud, enjoying a cigarette and some PDA while they waited for their ride. We're told the couple had just left a dinner date at Jones Italian restaurant.

Halsey's been hanging with her slightly younger beau since at least November, shortly after breaking up with G-Eazy ... for the second time.

Cardi B and Offset are showing all the signs of a couple deeply in love (all over again) ... sharing smiles and giggles on FaceTime.

Cardi touched down at LAX Thursday with a big grin on her face and her phone in hand. The person on the other end? Offset! Our photog spotted the Migos rapper on Cardi's screen and asked who it was ... Cardi's response ... "My significant other."

TMZ broke the story ... Cardi's planning on moving back in with Offset in their Atlanta home. She hasn't been back to the crib since December.

You'll remember, Cardi -- very publicly -- split with her husband at the end of 2018 ... but the couple has been on the mend ever since, celebrating Christmas together as a family and taking a wild ride in Puerto Rico.

Cardi B's family is together again -- she and Offset are under the same roof, and the hip-hop power couple is officially back on ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us ... Cardi's returning to the Atlanta home they shared before the breakup. We're told this is the first time she's been back to stay there with Offset and Kulture since December ... when she ripped into her husband for allegedly cheating.

There have been numerous signs lately of a reunion. Cardi posted last week, "I wanna go home" -- but our sources say it's a done deal now, because Offset proved himself to his wife.

We're told one of the key factors was Offset changing his phone number, in order to show Cardi he's serious about being honest and faithful. Our sources say the new digits are strictly for Cardi and business calls.

More importantly, there's a new, "no groupies" rule, which will be in full effect this weekend. We're told Offset's not allowing any female fans near him during his Super Bowl appearances in ATL. He wants Cardi to know he's serious about their marriage.

The Rams and Patriots ain't the only ones with a lot to lose this weekend.

Jerry O'Connell wants to play Billy McFarland in the worst way ... and his impression of B.M. makes him more than worthy.

We got Jerry and his wife, Rebecca Romijn, Tuesday at LAX and asked how they'd feel about a scripted reimagining of the "the best party that never happened" hitting the big screen.

Turns out Jerry and Rebecca are Fyre nuts, who've watched both the Hulu and Netflix documentaries.

We talked to McFarland shortly after his would-be music fest came crashing down, and at the time he explained how he and his team tried hard to make it work.

As for whether the models who were involved in promoting the Fyre Fest -- some of whom are still being indirectly roped in to the story, even now -- should feel bad about their role in all this ... Rebecca -- a former model -- actually comes to their defense.

One thing's for sure ... these two definitely know their Fyre Festival history!

"Bad Girls Club" star Tanisha Thomas couldn't resist a good fight at her friend's wedding reception.

The incident went down over the weekend in Maui after ex-'BGC' star Amber Meade and Alen Aivazian tied the knot. At the reception the bride, rather than throwing a bouquet at all the single ladies, subbed in an Ophidia mini Gucci round shoulder bag -- valued at around $1,400.

Check it out ... the winner at first appears to be Amber's junior bridesmaid/niece, Madelyn Sherod. But, her bounty was short-lived because a woman snatched the bag from behind. That's when Tanisha tries her hand at some street justice ... tackling the woman to get the purse back, to no avail.

After the dust settles ... you see Amber embrace the bag snatcher. We're told the Gucci bag bully woke up with some bruising ... but added it was worth it.

Mark Consuelos has mastered the double life ... living it up on vacay with his wife AND mistress.

The "Riverdale" star is down in Mexico with his wife, Kelly Ripa, who will costar alongside him later this week on the hit CW show when she plays his TV mistress, Mrs. Mulwray. It's a role Kelly said she's excited about because it was "23 years of auditioning for a role I was born to play."

Know what other roles they were born to play? Making all of us jelly of their ridiculously hard bods ... in matching white swimwear, no less.

Trace Cyrus went wild on his female followers after some of them reported him to Instagram as a porn peddler, for posting a pic of his fiancee.

Miley's older brother posted a pic of Lauren Sanders with his hand on her neck, and some clearly took issue by contacting the social media service. Trace launched, saying, "F*** ALL U JEALOUS GIRLS REPORTING MY PIC OF MY BAE!!!"

He went on ... "If you're not happy with your look then f*** do something about it!!! Go to the gym, learn to do your makeup properly, find out about fashions that fit your body type."

Trace didn't stop there ... "There's so much that can be done. But don't go hating on my girl because she's hot!! There was nothing wrong with the picture I had posted."

Instagram deleted the pic from his account and Trace blamed his female critics ... "So many of u miserable girls out there f***ing flagged it so it got taken down!! I believe every woman can be beautiful but JEALOUSLY & lack of confidence in yourselves makes u all look disgusting."

Jake Owen and Luke Bryan are a little bit country and little bit surfer dude -- at least for this weekend -- while they're partying on la playa in Mexico.

The country superstars attempted to catch some waves -- on paddleboards, not surfboards -- in Tulum, near Luke's annual Crash My Playa festival is going down. Looks like Jake had a little more luck than Luke ... but only a little. Hey, they're Nashville bros ... no one's expecting them to hang ten.

Luke's wife, Caroline Boyer, and Jake's GF, Erica Hartlein, hung out on the beach while the guys tried their best to look epic on waves.

In the evening, they returned to their natural habitat ... rocking the stage for the 4-day festival. Luke tried a one-handed floss move while playing, "All My Friends Say."

Good times. Although, not as good as what went down during last year's festival when he got whacked by a fan's bra. A REALLY big bra. 'Memba that?

As Luke puts it ... strip it down!!!

Get those Hikki Cejudella shirts ready ... Nikki Bella just responded to Henry Cejudo's public courting attempts -- and says she's down for a wine date with the UFC champ!!!

ICYMI ... Cejudo's been shooting his shot with Bella all week after meeting her on his flight to NYC for his fight with T.J. Dillashaw last weekend.

In fact -- Cejudo told us he's developed SUCH a crush on the WWE superstar -- he's down to get in the squared circle with her ex-BF, John Cena, to win her love!!

Now, Nikki's responding -- and it's good news for Henry ...

"I said I'd send him some Belle Radici [wine]. Maybe I'll have some wine with him one day -- or, I don't know. We'll see!"

And, hey ... if it doesn't work out -- Brie Bella says her husband Daniel Bryan has the biggest man crush on Henry -- and will take him out if Nikki won't!!!

Speaking of Brie and Daniel -- Bella says they're laser-focused on adding a 2nd child to their family.

"We're working on it -- we're having a lot of fun working on it!"
