Dating

Lonzo Ball will have plenty of time to crush all the celebrity ass he wants -- AFTER he starts to kill it in the NBA ... so, don't go chasing the Kardashians just yet.

This is the wise message from ex-Laker Shannon Brown ... who knows all about dating famous women.

Of course, Brown famously married R&B star Monica back in 2010 -- after Brown had already won 2 NBA titles with the Lake Show.

Brown isn't saying to stay away from Kylie, Kendall or any other K-family member who might be interested (Kris?) ... he's just sayin' wait a minute.

BTW, Lonzo already has a hot girlfriend ... so, in theory, it shouldn't be a problem.

Ex-con Jeremy Meeks isn't just a model ... he's a role model for the likes of O.J. Simpson ... or at least he thinks he can be.

Jeremy and his heiress gf, Chloe Green, drew a crowd Sunday night outside Madeo in WeHo -- and since he's flourishing in post-lockup life, we asked if he had any advice for Simpson ... who could be a free man again within months.

Seeing as how Meeks has been traveling the world, and living it up in Hollywood with the woman who stands to inherit the Topshop fortune, our advice to O.J. is ... listen to this guy.

Charlie Sheen has kicked meat ... and lots of other foods -- 'cause he's now living the vegan life.

Sources close to the actor tell TMZ Charlie's about 2 weeks into his new vegan diet, which is just the latest installment of what he says is a holistic lifestyle he's embraced with gf Julia Stambler.

We're told Charlie's been getting up early to work out -- yoga and swimming are his go-to -- and he's been scarfing down foods like rice, garden burgers and even stuff like coconut water coffee. Charlie's even on vitamin drips for extra nutrients.

Per our sources, Charlie mostly stays away from booze and seems committed to the new health kick. As we reported ... he's on an HIV drug trial, and claims he's been off hard drugs for a year.

Jesse Williams and Minka Kelly were super low key, but still out in public together for a what looks like a very interestingly timed date night.

The rumored couple went to catch a movie Monday night in West Hollywood. They were both sporting ball caps, and Jesse added a hoodie as they left the theater.

They posted photos together in Paris back in January, but at the time said they were only hanging out because they were there working on a video game together.

Ben Affleck is leaving no doubt -- he and 'SNL' producer Lindsay Shookus are in a relationship -- but someone needs to throw in the towel, because as you see from Ben's shirt, L.A.'s super humid.

The couple stepped out for pizza Monday night in the Pacific Palisades. They were also spotted leaving a coffee shop Monday morning.

As we reported Ben had moved on and started dating someone back in April when Jennifer Garner filed for divorce ... looks like Lindsay was that woman. The divorce should be final in a few months. We're told it's completely amicable.

Rachel Lindsay got treated to a harsh truth on "The Bachelorette" from one of her favorite suitors ... with him telling her he won't propose if he isn't ready.

Fan fave contestant Peter Kraus got brutally honest with Rachel on Monday night's episode -- first telling her a super sad story about his last girlfriend, and then saying if he felt any doubt about proposing come game time ... he would let her know.

It's a bold move on Peter's part -- she could've cut him right then and there. Lucky for him, Rachel seemed to appreciate the truth more than the possibility of being left hanging by the end of the show ... and she gave him a rose.

Rachel will be meeting Peter's fam next week ... and those of at least a couple other contestants.

Ben Affleck's looking more and more like he's locking in 'SNL' producer Lindsay Shookus as his new gf ... 'cause they had a coffee/juice date Monday morning.

Ben and Lindsay grabbed Starbucks in Brentwood after apparently spending the weekend together. They reportedly had a dinner date Thursday night at Giorgio Baldi ... one of Ben's fave spots.

We broke the story ... Ben and Jen Garner officially filed for divorce earlier this year. We were told they were already seeing other people.

Hilary Duff has a new young dude in her life, and he's already getting very familiar with her bikini bod.

Hilary was with the mystery man over the weekend on a Malibu beach. Don't know how long they've been together, but they weren't shy about getting physical in the water. Besides a makeout sesh ... they also did some surfing.

She's definitely got his back.

Looks like Hil's moved on from celeb trainer Jason Walsh, who she was dating this past Fall.

Wiz Khalifa is totally cool with 21 Savage hanging around his baby mama, Amber Rose, or their kid.

We got Wiz leaving Tao in Hollywood, arm in arm with Brazilian model Izabela Guedes, who he's been dating for several months. We asked him about Amber getting close with Savage, and he says -- early reviews are good for the new rapper in her life.

But honestly ... Wiz seemed to be on cloud 9 about everything -- his new chick, new music, his fans. Basically, it's all good in Wiz's hood.

Amber's too ...

10:03 AM PT -- Looks like Bella was having a little fun with her latest beau, who actually turns out to be Blackbear disguised as DJ Marshmello, not 'mello himself.

While the all-white outfit and square-shaped helmet are typical for Marshmello, the ink on display definitely belongs to Blackbear.

Blackbear and Marshmello have a new collab due out soon and yesterday, Blackbear posted a pic on his Instagram of him wearing Marshmello's helmet.

Bella Thorne is no marshmello ... but she's dating one.

Bella and DJ Marshmello showed up at The Filmore in NYC Saturday night to watch Blackbear.

No one knows who Marshmello really is -- could be Scott Disick -- but she seemed into him .. at least for the night.

He blew up in 2015 when he released remixes of Zedd's "Beautiful Now," Jack U's "Where Are U Now" and other stuff as well.

As for Scott ... they seem to be hooking up, but on both ends it seems pretty non-exclusive.

Drew Carey's new girlfriend is a sex therapist who moonlighted as a model on "The Price Is Right" ... the live touring show, though -- not Drew's TV show.

Sources tell us Carey met Dr. Amie Nicole Harwick just over a month ago at a house party. They started dating soon after and are now official -- they went to a soccer game in Portland, and goofed around on the field. Drew's a huge soccer fan and the good doc seemed impressed with his seats.

The 36-year-old therapist is also the author of the book, "The New Sex Bible for Women."

Carey was previously engaged to Nicole Jaracz, but they split up in 2012 before making it to the altar.

If Drew need some motivation to make this one work out -- check her degree. Not to mention her modeling portfolio ...

Scarlett Johansson has ping ponged back to Colin Jost, if this pic is any indication.

Scarlett and the "SNL" star were super cozy dining at The Palm Friday night in East Hampton. They closed the place down at around midnight. Diners say it got pretty romantic with a smooch here and there.

The actress, who recently filed for divorce, had been dating Colin but just 2 weeks ago it appeared she started dating her lawyer, Kevin Yorn.

Amber Rose and 21 Savage are not only together ... they're on the fast track for "happily ever after."

We're told, since first hooking up several weeks ago, they've been together every day and night for the past 2 weeks.

Get this ... she's already taken him to meet her mom and the rest of the family, and she followed suit by meeting his mom and cousins.

We're told Savage has "bonded" with 4-year-old Bash.

As for their age difference -- she's 33 and he's 24 -- Amber thinks it's both irrelevant and a double standard. Rose and Kanye had a 7 year age gap, and no one threw shade then.

Short story ... this is not just casual dating. They are in a race to the finish.

Amber Rose and 21 Savage haven't said they're official but it ain't hard to read between the lines.

Amber and the rapper broke bread at Catch in WeHo Wednesday night ... the second time they've been seen out in a week.

Side note -- Amber just might've made the perfect audition tape with our camera guy for a role in the 'Fast & Furious' films.

Strap in, Savage, it's gonna be a wild ride.

Rachel Lindsay got rid of all the black suitors on Tuesday's episode of 'The Bachelorette' except one ... but even he doesn't think race had anything to do with it.

We spoke with Eric Bigger, who's the last standing African-American contestant vying for Rachel's heart this week -- and he doesn't think love has anything to do with color ... and thinks Rachel sees it the same way.

Sounds like a big change of attitude from Monday night's episode, where he pointed out most of Rachel's one-on-one dates were with non-black guys. However, he claims producers twisted his words ... and he really doesn't feel like race is a factor.

Check out his rationale on why he thinks Rachel broke down last week over racial pressure. He's got an interesting take.

Rihanna's new beau is certainly up for a new challenge -- whether it's landing a smoking hot chick or lining up hundreds of cars to smash world records.

Hassan Jameel -- the guy RiRi was sucking face with in Spain -- accepted a challenge from Guinness back in 2013 to break the world record for the largest Toyota car parade. Makes sense -- Hassan's the heir to Saudi Arabia's largest Toyota distributor.

But we did a little digging and a rep at Guinness tells TMZ no application's been submitted from Saudi Arabia Toyota since Hassan accepted the challenge. Colombia and South Africa, however, did apply.

The current record holder is Toyota Cyprus ... which paraded 742 whips back in 2015. If you're wondering what the hell a Toyota car parade is ... think your local highway at rush hour, with ONLY Toyotas.
