Dating

Chris Brown has gone from venomously putting Karrueche Tran on blast ... to giving her what looks like a small diamond mine.

Karrueche coyly posted the pic of her latest acquisitions ... courtesy of CB.

She's not saying if either is an engagement ring, but it's doubtful given that it's on the wrong hand.

It's certainly a major about face ... we spotted them the other night leaving Playhouse nightclub in Hollywood, the first time they've been publicly seen since their nuclear breakup.

Looks like he also gave her a pooch.

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran loved, hated, loved, hated ... and apparently the pendulum has
swung again.

We got video of the feuding exes leaving Playhouse early Wednesday morning. The two of them walk out of the club together, but appear to leave separately.

Karrueche was hosting a holiday party and toy drive at the club and there were flyers with her mug promoting the vent, so it's not like Chris didn't know she was there.

It actually seemed like this was a split for good, after CB went on stage and screamed "F*** Karrueche!"

Will this be the final chapter? Not a chance.

The ex-boyfriend of Nicki Minaj is taking their break-up INCREDIBLY hard ... to the point he's having suicidal thoughts.

Safaree Samuels is confiding in friends that he's an emotional wreck over his breakup with Nicki after a 12-year relationship. He's become a shut-in, spends days and nights smoking weed, and has talked openly about suicide.

Safaree is telling friends he won't get in touch with Nicki because she's now hooked up with Meek Mill. He says it's torture for him, because he believes Meek Mill destroyed his relationship with Nicki over false claims he cheated.

Safaree's friends say they're scared these are more than idle threats. They've urged him to see a shrink. The problem ... he's seeing one whom he says has been giving him meds that make him even more emotional.

Ray J's ex-girlfriend who threatened suicide Wednesday was pushed over the edge after she found out Ray was nuzzling up to the modern day Helen of Troy ... Karrueche Tran.

Cops were called after Princess Love called Ray and threatened to shoot herself. A short time later she called him back and said she would not go through with it.

As we reported ... Ray broke up with Princess Love Tuesday night after a big fight. Now we know where he went afterward.

Ray went to a studio to shoot a New Year's Eve special for BET. Karrueche was also on the show and Ray hung out with her until 4 AM. We got a couple of pics which show they were definitely getting along.

Unclear if there's a relationship, but it's definitely a good start.

Looks like Ray J's doing some damage control ... he posted a pic with Princess Love late Wednesday night with a very poor choice of words in the caption.

Notre Dame WR Justin Brent -- the guy who dated porn star Lisa Ann -- has moved on to thicker pastures ... and is now dating one of the most famous booty models in the ass game ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Of course, Brent's brief relationship with the 42-year-old porn Hall of Famer made national headlines earlier this year ... since the 19-year-old goes to a Catholic university which frowns upon pre-marital sex.

But now it seems Lisa Ann is out ... replaced by Elke the Stallion -- whose 36DD-30-50 measurements have made her an Internet superstar ... and recently scored her a major part in Major Lazer's "Bubble Butt" video.

We spoke with Elke who says she first met Brent through social media ... but the cyber-flirting escalated to the point where she decided to attend the USC-ND game in L.A. last month to meet Brent in person.

Elke says the two hit it off ... "He's a mad cool dude. Very respectful. Not an Idiot like the rest of them."

So how serious are they? Elke claims it's too early to tell ... but says "you never know" where things could end up.

Justin Brent -- the legend continues ...

Ryan Seacrest has broken up with his girlfriend -- so we've learned -- and is out on the town with a new, attractive blonde chick.

Ryan was leaving the GQ Men of the Year party Thursday night at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood and his GF of more than a year-and-a-half, Shayna Terese Taylor, was nowhere in sight. That's because we're told Seacrest said bye bye.

As the saying goes ... where there's smoke, there's Miley Cyrus -- and this time her bf Patrick Schwarzenegger was there too for a suspicious-looking toke break in Miami Thursday.

Miley and Patrick stood on a hotel balcony ... smoking his and hers blunts in plain view of cameras.
No way to tell from the pics exactly what they lit up -- so draw your own conclusions.

The couple's down in South Beach for the Art Basel show ... where clothing is optional. At least for Miley.

And just to drive home the point with Ellie ... Ed brought his new chick, Athina Andrelos to the event. One word -- upgrade.

Ellie, like Ed said ... "Don't f**k with my love."

Khloe Kardashian doesn't care if French Montana has a side piece ... and she thinks her family should stay out of her business.

As TMZ first reported, the Kardashians had a heart-to-heart with Khloe last week ... warning her that French had used Kim as a cover during their recent trip, making it appear he was spending time with her when he was actually dogging around Dubai.

We're told Khloe scoffed at her family's advice ... she fired back, saying she's having fun and there's no expectation of exclusiveness.

The fam is concerned because of the way Khloe dealt with the Lamar situation ... defending him for way longer than most partners would. But Khloe says this is not "a Lamar situation." She's having fun ... end of story.

Michael Phelps is finally out of rehab -- but it seems like he's already picked up an old habit ... Miss California.

Nearly two months after entering a treatment center following his second DUI arrest, Phelps spent his Thanksgiving with family members ... and on-and-off girlfriend Nicole Johnson (Miss California 2010).

Phelps and Johnson have been together ... and then not together ... and then together again ... since 2007. According to Johnson, they're officially back-on ... and even had a movie "date night" last week.

Phelps was joined at Thanksgiving by his mother, sister and other family members -- and it's interesting to note there was wine at the dinner table ... since Phelps is clearly struggling with alcohol.

Mama June is trying to repair her relationship with Sugar Bear, and he's game to give it a second try ... so she says.

June tells TMZ ... Sugar Bear is back living full-time in the homestead and they are "working on the relationship." She admits it was damaged and Sugar Bear is hurt over her decision to reignite her relationship with convicted child molester Mark McDaniel.

June says they don't consider themselves "back together" and it will "take a lot of work" to regain his trust.

She tells us she did see McDaniel after he was released from prison in March ... something she lied about after we broke the story. But now she says, "I'm human, I made mistakes and done wrong, but no one is perfect."

June says she no longer has any contact with McDaniel.

Robin Thicke is clearly thankful for one thing this holiday season ... his super hot new girlfriend.

Thicke was rolling through Malibu Friday with the top down ... showing off 19-year-old April Love Geary -- and the guy looked pretty damn care free.

Robin's had a tough year -- see here, here and here -- so he's gotta be stoked to be moving on.

Plus, April looks really hot naked. That always helps.

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran went clubbing together Saturday night ... which puts to bed the misinterpretation of this week's tweet.

In case you missed it ... Karrueche's tweet about Single Ladies made people think she was just that, when actually she was trying to reference her appearance on the TV show.

On their way out of Argyle Saturday night they were mum ... but being together was the clear message.

Khloe Kardashian needs to run for the hills -- away from French Montana -- and that's exactly what her family told her during a heart-to-heart talk Wednesday.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... the Kardashians believe French has been unfaithful to Khloe, and their evidence centers around his recent trip to Dubai.

We're told the family believes French was hooking up with a very pretty woman during the trip, and tried to use Kim as a cover. We know they told Khloe French sought out Kim during the trip so Khloe would see pics of the 2 of them and think he was just hanging with her sis ... nothing nefarious.

We're told the Kardashians say French's plan unraveled when Kim came home and told Khloe she was literally with French 10 seconds here and there. The family is convinced he used Kim to deceive Khloe.

Robin Thicke must be serious about his new girl ... because she's now hanging out with his kid.

Thicke, his boy Julian and his super young GF April Love Geary were snapped at the USC/UCLA game at the Rose Bowl Saturday night ... where they got a good view of the Bruins whooping the Trojans.

As TMZ first reported, while Thicke has been coy about his dating situation, 19-year-old April has been going full bore, posting photos that were snapped inside Thicke's home.

One thing about April ... she LOVES the spotlight.

Twihards, prepare to be extremely jealous of FKA Twigs ... Robert Pattinson is showing solid PDA with his new chick -- grabbing a heaping handful of her cheeks.

The famous couple went to lunch Friday in L.A. and Edward proudly squeezed his new moon.

Still doesn't excuse his new haircut ... but we're guessing Twigs likes the doo -- and it probably helps RPatz play grab ass with her more often.

Glass is half full.
