Kate Spade's Husband We Lived Separately ... Still Acted as a Family for Daughter

Published | Updated

Kate Spade's husband has finally spoken on the fashion designer's suicide -- confirming the two were living apart -- and saying her death came as a total shock to their whole family.

In a statement to the New York Times, Andy Spade says, "Kate suffered from depression and anxiety for many years. She was actively seeking help and working closely with her doctors to treat her disease, one that takes far too many lives. We were in touch with her the night before and she sounded happy."

He continues, "There was no indication and no warning that she would do this. It was a complete shock. And it clearly wasn’t her. There were personal demons she was battling."

Spade confirms the two were living separately for the last 10 months, but says they still took vacations and had dinners together for the sake of their daughter ... he says they never discussed divorce.

Spade also told the NYT Kate didn't abuse alcohol or have any business problems ... however, we know that's what he told cops investigating her death.

Rita Ora Toe-Sucking in Italy ... That's Amore!!!

Published | Updated

Here's Rita Ora and her musician boyfriend, Andrew Watt, strolling along a beach in Italy -- and while she might be there for the sun and fun ... he'll just have the toes. Grazie!

Andrew appeared to be getting a healthy helping of Rita's little piggies as they lounged on the beach somewhere in the Tuscany region. We gotta say ... this takes the cake for best celeb PDA of the week.

Apologies to Kendall and Anwar, ya just got bumped.

No doubt, Rita's earned herself a good toe-job. She just released her music video for "Girls" ... featuring Cardi B, Bebe Rexha and Charli XCX. Pretty hot vid, and not only because she kisses Cardi. But, mostly because she kisses Cardi.

Looks like Andrew's ready and willing to shoot a follow-up music video -- but less about girls, and more about girls' toes.

Some people settle for sticking their toes in the sand while on vacay, but Rita -- and Andrew, really -- went that extra mile.

Beyonce Shows Off The Twins ... During Tour's Opening

Published | Updated

Beyonce just gave the world an updated baby pic of her and Jay-Z's new twins during opening night of the couple's tour.

Bey and Jay kicked off their On The Run II Tour in Cardiff, UK ... and a visual of Beyonce holding Sir and Rumi made the crowd go wild. It's some of the only images we've had of the latest additions to the Carter family since July of last year, when Beyonce announced she'd given birth.

The couple also shared a pic of Jay-Z holding the twins -- the first that's been made public.

The tour will hit cities all over the world ... making stops throughout Europe before coming to the United States in July.

The show is Beyonce's first since her show at Coachella, which featured a Destiny's Child reunion.

No sign of Blue Ivy yet, but you gotta imagine their older sis is along for the ride too.

Tommy Lee's Fiancee Oh, We've Made Sex Tapes ... But, Not For $ale!!

Published | Updated

Tommy Lee's fiancee ain't hiding it, they've recorded themselves bangin' ... you're just not gonna see it. At least that's their plan.

We got Brittany Furlan at the Topanga Mall Tuesday, and she spilled some tea about their relationship -- about their wedding fake out, when they're REALLY tying the knot and, uh, yeah ... sex tapes.

Brittany copped to it, but the long (ha ha) and short of it is ... sounds like it's something they've done more than once. She assured our guy, the recordings won't be for sale.

Not to burst her bubble, but the famous Tommy and Pamela Anderson tape wasn't for sale, either -- it was reportedly stolen out of their home safe.

One more deet ... Brit tells us where she and Tommy definitely did NOT record their sex.

Girl's got limits.

Published | Updated

The only rocks Scott Disick and Sofia Richie's relationship is on are the ones on the beach in Malibu, because that's where they stepped out to show the world they're still going strong.

The couple hit up Nobu Monday for lunch. Definitely for the food, and also for the cameras. It's where ya go when you wanna be seen ... together. Remember, Scott himself made it seem they were dunzo -- we know he was telling people last week at Kanye's party he's a single man. Plus, he was photographed getting close to a mystery woman.

We broke the story ... Sofia wasn't happy about the incident, but she's basically over it. Proof positive -- they left Nobu together in his drop top Rolls.

Nothing says we're back on like make-up sushi and sashimi.

Kenya Moore Shares Ultrasound ... Now, Do You Believe I'm Pregnant?!

Published | Updated

Kenya Moore is shutting down any haters who doubt she's preggo at 49 by sharing the ultrasound.

The Atlanta 'Housewife' first hinted about pregnancy during the season 10 reunion episode back in April. She said she and her husband, Marc Daly, "will definitely be welcoming a boy or girl in late this year."

Many didn't believe her due to her age, but the ultrasound appears to be proof it's on the up and up.

Kenya has been struggling to get pregnant since marrying Daly in 2017. She flew to Barbados in November for IVF treatment at a world-renowned fertility center.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Kenya's not saying yet how far along she is right now. She says the ultrasound was captured earlier in in her pregnancy.

You can hear the doctor call the baby "Barbie," but Kenya insists the doc meant to say "baby" and it's too early to tell the gender.

Sofia Richie & Scott Disick Still Together Despite Him Saying He's 'Single'

Published | Updated

Sofia Richie and Scott Disick aren't over yet -- despite multiple reports saying otherwise, and a photo of Scott cozying up with another chick last week ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us Sofia and Scott have not broken up, and are still very much together -- contrary to what other outlets are reporting ... that they'd supposedly split.

We're told Sofia certainly wasn't happy with the photo of Scott getting handsy with a mystery chick at Kanye's album listening party Thursday night in Wyoming -- but she hasn't pulled the plug on their relationship. As for Scott and that girl ... they're just pals.

Sources say Scott has known the woman for years, and that holding her at the party was nothing sexual ... and only lasted a few minutes. They also did not go home together. Regarding him telling people at the party he was single ... we're told that was the booze talking.

Long story short ... Scott and Sofia are still an item. So, don't count 'em out quite yet.

Supreme Court Sides with Baker ... Who Refused to Make Wedding Cake for Gay Couple

Published | Updated

The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled in favor of the Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a same sex couple.

The Court ruled "The laws and the Constitution can, and in some instances must, protect gay persons and gay couples in the exercise of their civil rights, but religious and philosophical objections to gay marriage are protected views in some instances protected forms of expression."

The Court said the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had shown hostility toward the baker, based purely on his religious beliefs. The ruling wasn't even close -- 7 of the 9 justices sided with the baker.

Justice Kennedy criticized a member of the public who lashed out at the baker during a hearing in Colorado. Kennedy pointed to what he said were comments that called the baker's religious views as despicable and comparing his views to slavery and the Holocaust.

"I WOULD LOVE TO BE A DAD"

John Cena says he doesn't just want to have kids to win Nikki Bella back -- telling TMZ Sports he's had an epiphany about wanting to have a family outside of his career.

The 41-year-old WWE superstar says he KNOWS his new outlook is a complete "about-face" from what he's been preaching publicly for decades ... but insists it's because he's grown as a person.

"I would love to be a dad," Cena says ... "and I realize very much that I have been steadfast in saying that I don't want children."

So, why the change of heart?

"Because I dedicated my life to my work and now I'm realizing that there is life and life exists and it's beautiful and I think part of that is being a parent."

As for his future with Nikki, John says they're still "best friends" -- but stopped short of saying they've reconciled. He clearly still wants to be with her.

Shaunie O'Neal Gloria Govan & Derek Fisher's Wedding? IT'S A NO FOR ME

I'LL BE SKIPPING THAT ONE

Seems there's only one way Shaunie O'Neal would attend Gloria Govan & Derek Fisher's wedding ... OVER HER DEAD BODY ... telling TMZ Sports that's one party she ain't down for.

Derek & Shaq won 3 rings together as Lakers and were tight bros, so one might assume Shaunie could possibly want to attend the nuptials.

Hell no. We got Shaunie at LAX and asked her if she plans on attending, and if the words out of her mouth didn't tell the whole story, the look on her face CLEARLY did.

"No, I don't so. No, I don't think I'll be going to that."

If you didn't know, the ladies have deep issues, stemming from Shaunie's belief that Gloria's sister, Laura, was messing around with Shaq while Shaunie was married to the Diesel.

It led to a HUGE blowup on a past episode of 'Basketball Wives' where Shaunie confronted Gloria ... and it's clear the whole thing isn't water under the bridge.

We're not sure whether it'll be chicken or fish at the wedding ... but, in this case ... it's clearly beef.

Kendall Jenner & Ben Simmons Dating an NBA Player ... It's Like Riding a Bike

Published | Updated

It's been about six months since Kendall Jenner was linked to a rumored NBA BF, but as her biking date with Ben Simmons shows ... you never forget how to date one of 'em.

Kendall was seen getting her ride on this weekend with the 76ers star point guard -- on a bicycle, folks ... relax. Eyewitnesses tell us they were cruising near The Grove in West Hollywood Sunday -- and we gotta say ... Kendall looks like the pro out of the two.

She's got solid form, AND she's got a purse on her, too, which looks perfectly in sync with her body. Much improved from 2016, when she ate s*** riding down a dirt road.

GOIN' DOWN

Ben, meanwhile, looks a little too big for his own bike here ... perhaps struggling to peddle, even. The dude is like 6'10", though ... maybe raise the seat next time, yeah?

Either way, it's nice to see Kendall switch up the activity for her 3rd NBA pal. Can't say we ever saw her hit the outdoors like this with Blake Griffin, or Jordan Clarkson either.

Ben must be special.

Laura Prepon Marries Ben Foster

Published | Updated

Laura Prepon and Ben Foster just did what we thought they would any day now -- the two actors announced they got married ... 2 weeks after getting their marriage license.

Laura posted a photo of her and her new husband Sunday, which shows her in what appears to be a wedding gown with a bouquet of flowers ... and Ben in a snazzy suit and hat. She captioned the photo ... "Just Married! Thank you for all the love and support. Wishing all of us the good stuff!"

TMZ broke the story ... Laura and Ben were spotted at the City Clerk's office in NYC a couple weeks ago, presumably to obtain their marriage license. Remember, they only had 60 days to tie the knot after receiving the document ... and it looks like they knew that, too.

Ben and Laura went public with their engagement in the fall of 2016 after having dated only a few months over that summer. They've already had one child together since then.

Congrats to the happy couple!

'Titanic' Actor Busted for Assault After GF Dumps Him

Published | Updated

Mark Chapman -- the guy who arguably saves Rose's life in "Titanic" when she grabs his whistle off his dead, frozen body -- was arrested for allegedly choking his girlfriend after she dumped him.

The incident went down back in March after Tara Pirnia says she ended their 5-year relationship. She also claims Mark -- same guy who lets Cal on the lifeboat with his pretend daughter as the Titanic's sinking -- flew into a violent rage after she asked him to delete intimate material of her on his cell phone ... this according to an affidavit from the Travis County Sheriff's and obtained by TMZ.

In the docs, Tara says Mark, who is 20 years her senior, threw her on the ground and used both hands to grab her around the neck and squeeze her throat. She claims he told her, "bitch f*** you, I want you dead."

Tara says she bit his hand and he let go. She says he moved to California the next day, but she reported the incident to cops because she fears he's going to kill her and then himself.

He was arrested for assault and he's been ordered to stay at least 200 yards away from her.

Pete Davidson It's Written in Ink ... I'm With Ariana Grande!!!

Published | Updated

Pete Davidson's already taking his relationship with Ariana Grande to the next level ... with some permanent ink.

The "Saturday Night Live" comedian got a tattoo on the side of his head -- right behind his ear -- of Ariana's legendary black bunny ears mask from her "Dangerous Woman" album cover ... it's kind of her unofficial logo.

Pete also got Grande's initials inked on his thumb.

As we reported ... the new couple's been sharing pics together on social media, including one of Pete hugging up on Ariana and kissing her on the cheek.

We're told tattoo artist London Reese from The Black Lantern in Dana Point, CA did the artwork for Davidson somewhere in L.A.

Both Ariana and Pete recently split with long-term partners, but it seems pretty evident -- they're happily moving on ... quickly.

Scott Disick Handsy With Mystery Chick Telling Folks He's Single

Published | Updated

Scott Disick was interestingly without Sofia Richie at Kanye's Thursday night's album release party, but he was more than friendly with a mystery chick ... and he was telling people he and Sofia are history.

Disick -- who many at the event say appeared wasted -- had his arms wrapped around a dirty blonde, green-eyed girl while Kanye premiered his new album. We're told Disick and the chick were flirty and touching each other during at least two of Kanye's songs.

Scott showed up the Wyoming album release party with a few friends and security. Our sources say he was rarely without a drink in hand and was, at one point, overheard saying he was single.

19-year-old Richie posted from Nobu in Malibu, some 1,000 miles away from Kanye's party as it was happening.

The possible sudden split seems surprising given Richie was just recently on vacation with Scott.

RIDE WITH ME

Sam Smith and his boyfriend are typically fully engaged with each other, enjoying life ... but from the looks of it, they don't like people making waves for them.

Sam and Brandon Flynn were out at Thorpe Park in London, where they hopped on this water raft ride called the Rumba Rapids. It's the kind of ride that would at least make ya wanna crack a smile, but Sam and Brandon just couldn't stomach it.

Starkly different from seeing them out doing this, this, this and this.
