Couples

Pete Davidson appears to be a lot closer to Kim Kardashian and her brood than previously known -- because he's got a new tattoo that seems to suggest he loves her kids.

The comedian did some standup Friday in L.A. as part of the 'Netflix is a Joke: The Festival' event -- which has been ongoing for a few days now -- and for this particular set ... he was at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood.

Afterwards, he and Kim were seen spilling into a waiting SUV ... where PD's neck was exposed, and where some fresh ink was flashed for the cameras featured on his collar bone.

Internet sleuths zoomed in on this and made a big leap that may or may not be far-fetched ... a lot of people *think* they see initials there -- namely, KNSCP ... which has led many to think they stand for Kim, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm.

We'll be honest ... it's hard to make out exactly what these letters say, but sure -- they certainly could be those initials in that order, and they certainly could stand for exactly what folks seem to believe they do. IF that is true, well then ... that's certainly interesting.

As you know, Pete is always adding more tattoos to his body -- while removing some at the same time -- and he's already gotten tatted up at least a couple different times that we're aware of to proclaim his love for Kim.

One new tat reads "MY GIRL IS A LAWYER" ... and another simply has her name. That one isn't even a tattoo though -- as Kim said, Pete branded himself (aka, burned it into his skin).

That's one thing, but if the guy went ahead and got ALL of Kim's kids' first name initials etched onto his body too -- in descending order of age -- that's a whole different story ... and it would actually be quite revealing on how familiar he actually is with them.

We already know he's hung out with North -- having her sit on his lap to drive around, no less -- but if this theory holds up ... it'd lead one to believe he's met all of the kids at this point, and seems to care deeply about them. Deeply enough to get a tattoo in their honor.

Here's another element that can't be forgotten ... Kanye West. He's been silent for weeks now, and has kinda been invisible in the public lately. We know he was making a big fuss about introducing the kids to Pete, so it's unclear how he might feel about this now.

Rihanna wants to make it clear to everyone ... she and A$AP Rocky are solid.

A$AP headlined at the Smokers Club Festival Saturday night in WeHo, and RiRi was backstage showing her support.

She's reportedly just weeks away from giving birth to her first child, but showing up at the club was clearly important to her.

There's been lots of drama over the last few weeks. As we reported, A$AP was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon last month in connection with a shooting last November in Hollywood. A$AP and Rihanna were blindsided by cops who met them at LAX and hooked Rocky up. They then searched his house for weapons but did not find the gun used in the shooting.

Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian are back in D.C. -- only this time, they're in the company of some of the most powerful people in the world ... including President Biden.

The couple were among many celebs on hand Saturday for the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton ... where upwards of 2,500 guests total are expected to plop down, chow down and listen to jokes, courtesy of the MC for the night -- Trevor Noah.

As you can see ... PD and KK were shoulder-to-shoulder as they made their way in, all smiles. They were also dressed to the nines, like everyone else attending for the night.

This will be Pete's first time at the dinner, but Kim's been a couple different times -- once in 2010 and again in 2012, during the Obama years. She was one of the many people who got roasted ... and we expect this year to be no different. Ditto for Pete, in all likelihood.

They're no strangers to the nation's capital lately -- they were just here for Jon Stewart.

Anyway, what most everyone is really stoked about -- besides the fact this is the first dinner to happen in person since 2019, pre-pandemic -- is that the Prez himself will show up. Indeed, after years of Trump snubbing the event ... Joe's gonna make remarks in the flesh.

Amanda Bynes has tried to clarify what happened that caused 2 911 calls to her home a few days ago -- when she accused her fiance, Paul Michael, of using crack and doing other things -- but her clarification is alarming.

Amanda jumped on Instagram late Friday night and wrote, "To clarify: I said what I said about Paul relapsing because he did. I don't know when he got clean and because of the disturbing porn he was watching, I assumed he must be on drugs now. Also Paul did vandalize his mom's home 2 weeks ago."

She wasn't done ... "His brother Mark called the cops on him but Paul left before they got there. When I saw the mom and son porn on Paul’s phone, I got upset and kicked him out. When he left I was worried he would vandalize my home because he still had the keys. That's why I called the police."

And, then there's this ...  "At any rate, I shouldn't have said he's currently using, because he's been sober for 2 weeks. Also, he told me he searched milfs and the other content auto filled the search engine."

The couple reconciled the morning after cops came to their house, but, as we reported, friends and family are alarmed and worried Paul has anger issues that make for an unhealthy living situation. We've spoke to people who say Paul flies off the handle way too much.

Don't let these two nearly identical Chrissy Teigen and John Legend shots impair your cravings ... see if you can spot the differences in these two similar snaps of the stylish and dynamic duo.

The Sports Illustrated model and the grammy-winning singer were recently photographed strolling the streets of NYC on their way to lunch in the big apple ... of course holding hands and serving up some cute couple PDA.

In my your mind, do you have what it takes to discover the minor changes executed on these images?

Pete Davidson joined Kim Kardashian and the rest of her famous fam inside the courthouse for the closing arguments in the Blac Chyna defamation trial.

The 'SNL' star slipped into the back of the courtroom Friday, sitting in the back row and wearing a black long sleeve shirt and pants. Kim and the rest of the brood sat in the front row.

Pete let out a laugh and put his head down to keep the chuckles to himself when the Kardashians' attorney said Chyna smashed a gingerbread house during an argument with Rob.

The lawyer's line that elicited a giggle from Pete ... "Why break a gingerbread house? It's like the happiest thing."

When Kris Jenner left the courtroom following closing arguments, she seemed very excited to see Pete and almost looked surprised, opening her mouth, smiling and hugging him.

Kylie Jenner also came up to Pete, hugging him just like her mother did.

Pete met Kim in the hallway ... where they shared an embrace and a kiss before being whisked away through a back exit, escorted by Sheriff's deputies.

Pete's been hanging out in L.A. this week ... driving one of Kim's luxury cars around Malibu ... but this is the first time he's shown up to court.

Joe Exotic is getting ready to serve looks while he's serving time ... because a fashion designer is creating a getup that is perfect for tying the knot behind bars!!!

Odain Watson of Odaingerous tells TMZ … Joe's attorneys reached out to him to talk design options for Joe and his fiancé John Graham. The all-white tuxedos will be crafted in Italy and run $11.5K a pop.

Each jacket has a custom silk tiger print lining -- Joe gets the pink version while fiancé John will be sporting a more traditional style.

Unclear if Joe will be able to get his measurements taken -- you know, prison and all --  so Odain will probably have to work off a model of a similar height and weight.

The two have worked together in the past ... the 'Tiger King' star signed a deal with Odaingerous in 2020, releasing streetwear, custom shoes and even a line of underwear. The top seller was the limited edition "Casket Baskin" boxer briefs ... which depict blood-red ice cream in a cone reminiscent of Baskin-Robbins.

The wedding can't go down for 4 to 6 weeks ... that's the length of time it takes to make the tuxes. Hopefully, there won't be supply chain issues.

As we reported, John met Joe while serving time at FMC Fort Worth in Texas ... the bond they have could only be described by Joe as similar to the one in "Twilight."

Sharon Osbourne is just 3 days into her new TV show, but a family health emergency has forced her to put things on hold ... Ozzy has COVID-19.

In a tearful interview with Talk TV -- the new network Sharon's joined -- she says Ozzy was only recently diagnosed, but she's "very worried" about him. Saying she'll fly back to L.A. to help him recover and "hold him and kiss him with about 3 masks on."

You can tell Osbourne is not only feeling for her husband, but also disappointed she'll need to pump the brakes on her new show. It's only the first week of her new UK show called "The Talk."

Sharon says it's the first time her 73-year-old husband has gotten COVID, so obviously, the timing is tough, but she's optimistic, saying, "It'll take me a week to get my old man back on his feet again, and I will be back in a week."

Ozzy's also been battling Parkinson's Disease ... and Sharon recently revealed he's got another surgery on the horizon.

It was last month when it was revealed Sharon would be joining friend Piers Morgan on the newly founded Talk TV.

Lizzo put on a show Tuesday night, celebrating her 34th birthday with her boyfriend, and she was in the mood to clown her fans and paparazzi.

The "Rumors" singer hit up Craig's in WeHo and left on a party bus with friends. She was all smiles as she walked hand-in-hand with her man.

She's hilarious as she gets on the bus, first talking seriously about what she wants for her birthday, and then cracking an off-color joke ... well, maybe it's not a joke!!!

ICYMI, during an interview with Andy Cohen, she confirmed last week she was off the market.

Lizzo has yet to ID her boyfriend ... but the Shade Room says it's Myke Wright, an actor. She's making it clear they are very much together.

This is not a super new relationship ... Lizzo and Myke were spotted back in February ... enjoying a dinner for Valentine's Day together.

Her birthday is April 27, so she got a jump on the festivities. BTW ... she's gearing up to release her 4th studio album on July 15.

Machine Gun Kelly has Megan Fox's lifeblood steadily coursing through his veins these days ... and the veteran artist says he's ready to return to making hip hop music.

MGK, who just topped the Billboard 200 with his 2nd consecutive rock album, "Mainstream Sellout," was recently a guest on Audacy's "Check In" podcast with Kevan Kenney where he expressed he missed the art of rapping and rhyming.

"I'm going to make a rap album for myself," MGK exclaimed. "For no other reason, no point to prove, no chip on my shoulder. If I keep doing things to prove things to people, I'm going to one, drive myself crazy and two, not make a good product. I made 'Tickets' and "Mainstream Sellout" because I wanted to make them ... I'm gonna step into where I left "Hotel Diablo" and expand on my storytelling as a rapper and find a new innovative sound for the Hip Hop Machine Gun Kelly. That's where my excitement is and where me as a music archaeologist wants to explore."

The aforementioned "Hotel Diablo" album served as MGK's last crack at a rap album, coming fresh off his highly publicized rap battle with Eminem.

In January, MGK also expanded on his relationship with Megan by asking for her hand in marriage, and revealing to the world they celebrated with a ritual guzzling of each other's blood.

In a new interview with Glamour UK, the "Night Teeth" actress clarified while they weren't exactly as vampiric as people think, opting to just indulge in "a few drops" ... she did admit MGK is always willing to take shards of broken glass to the chest to prove his love.

The engaged couple are also set to star together in the upcoming comedy film, "Good Mourning," proving their work-play relationship can exist outside the dungeon.

A$AP Rocky has resurfaced for the first time following his arrest, and Rihanna was right by his side.

The expecting parents hit up RiRi's favorite joint Saturday night -- Georgio Baldi in Santa Monica. The dinner reportedly was a baby shower of sorts with fam and friends. It looks like a combo of casual and fancy.

As TMZ reported, Rocky was arrested Wednesday when he and Rihanna touched down at LAX from Barbados. Cops booked the rapper on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly firing a shot at a man and grazing his arm during an argument in Hollywood back in November.

At the same time, police cuffed A$AP ... they executed a search warrant at his home, presumably looking for a gun that matched the one in the shooting. Cops carted out several boxes of stuff.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra recently welcomed their baby girl, and now TMZ has learned her name ... Malti Marie!

According to the birth certificate, obtained by TMZ, baby Jonas' full name is Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. She was born just after 8 PM on January 15 at a hospital in San Diego.

Unclear exactly why they picked the name -- but 'Malti' generally means small fragrant flower or moonlight and it's of Sanskrit, Indian origin.

As we've told you, the two shared the exciting news back in January, saying Malti had arrived via surrogate. Priyanka wrote, "We are overjoyed to confirm we have welcomed a new baby girl via surrogate".

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are doing the ultimate love bird thing that an expecting couple could while on vacation -- soon-to-be Mama Bear looking on as dad takes on Mother Nature.

The singer/fashion mogul was taking in the sights Tuesday down in her native Barbados -- notably, the sight of her baby daddy ripping and roaring through the ocean just outside their vacay home while mounted on a jet ski.

Check it out ... Rihanna is surrounded by some friends/fam, checking in on A$AP with a pair of binoculars as he navigates the choppy waters solo. Seems like she was impressed by what she was seeing, and likewise ... he was pretty happy too. Each of them were all smiles.

Of course, RiRi is heavily pregnant -- it looks like she could pop any day now -- so she definitely wasn't going to join on this particular excursion.

No worries, because A$AP was able to manage just fine on his own ... and before long, he reunited with his lady on land and they headed back inside together. If you didn't believe your eyes before this weekend, you can believe this -- they're very much together.

We'd already been told there was no truth to them splitting over alleged cheating -- it was nothing more than a Twitter rumor that took off like wildfire -- but the proof is in the pudding now that they're in each other's company again, looking super boo'd up, per usual.

Like we said, the future parents aren't just putting on a united front in paradise ... they very much are a united front, for realsies.

Vanessa Bryant is remembering her late husband, Kobe, on their wedding anniversary, posting a throwback photo of the two with a heartfelt message on what would've marked their 21st year as a married couple.

On Monday, Vanessa shared a photo on her Instagram of her and Kobe from their younger days, paying homage to the love the two shared over the years.

"I love you forever, baby. Happy Anniversary @KobeBryant #21" she captioned the pic.

The Bryant's were married on April 18, 2001 ... so this would've been 21 years Kobe and Vanessa celebrated their matrimony.

It's been over two years since Kobe (along with eight other people including his daughter) tragically died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, CA ... and Vanessa has been doing everything in her power to keep Mamba's name and legacy going.

She recently announced the longstanding partnership between Kobe and Nike -- which temporarily ended last year -- was repaired, paving the way for the release of the "Mambacita Sweet Sixteen" shoe under the Swoosh brand.

Their kids might've been in search of plastic colored eggs this AM, but Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are on a different hunt ... pounding the pavement for their new home.

The couple -- who are newly engaged (again) -- was checking out different properties all throughout Easter weekend ... including on Sunday itself, when they popped up in Bel Air on what appears to be a site that was very much so under construction.

We can't see any actual house here -- it might be getting built as we speak -- but Ben and Jen were out and about taking a look around before heading back to their SUV.

On Saturday, it was more of the same ... only that time, they were in Brentwood looking at a mansion -- and seemed to be taking in the views from up on an elevated portion of the home, where they didn't really seem all that impressed -- at least outwardly.

These are just the latest stops Bennifer's made in their real estate search -- which has been kickstarted again after their deal for the coveted Bel Air estate fell through last week.

Since then, they've perused the Holmby Hills area as well as Bev Hills proper ... peeping massive compounds -- one owned by the ex-wife of Mr. Chow and another designed by Mohammed Hadid -- but it seems they haven't been able to make up their minds yet.

This, of course, comes after they walked away from the would-be $55 million purchase -- which they apparently felt wasn't right for them after entering escrow.

While these fancy abodes are sitting around for the picking among the rich and famous in L.A. -- there's probably a lot that's going into their decision beyond the crib ... especially with their kids in the picture still. So, they wanna make sure they choose correctly here.

Then again, they are set to get married ... so maybe there's a little urgency on the table. Don't wanna drag this out too long -- the engagement or the house-hunt, that is.

Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 has great cause to celebrate, because he's cancer free!!!

We got Mark Saturday night leaving Craig's in WeHo, and he and his wife, Skye, seemed like a heavy weight was just lifted from them ... this, after Mark's oncologist gave him the news, which he says is a great blessing.

Mark handled his cancer battle privately ... he revealed he was dealing with it back in June and was always hopeful, and his optimism paid off. Not to say he didn't struggle ... Mark went through a round of chemo for lymphoma.

Well, now things are good, and he's looking forward to getting back in the studio with Travis Barker and co.

Speaking of Travis, you gotta hear Mark's wife when our photog asks about Travis and Kourtney tying the knot.
