Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr. have said they're just friends, but there's plenty of smoke that it's more than that ... and this video is adding fuel to what has become a fire.

Kim and Odell were at The Wynn in Las Vegas Saturday night, ahead of Super Bowl LVIII. Kim was shepherded through the hotel with Odell staying close.

You see them both in a crowded elevator, with Kim seemingly hiding in the back.

The duo had just left Michael Rubin's Fanatics Super Bowl party which had tons of stars, including Ice Spice, Khloe Kardashian, Tiffany Haddish, Karrueche Tran and many others.

K&O have never confirmed the relationship, but the dating rumors have been circulating since the Summer ... after his breakup with LoLo Wood.

They were also spotted at a pre-Grammy party last weekend thrown by Jay-Z.

Kim Kardashian y Odell Beckham Jr. han dicho que son solo amigos, pero hay muchos rumores de que es algo más que eso y este video está dando de que hablar.

Kim y Odell estaban en The Wynn en Las Vegas el sábado por la noche, antes del Super Bowl LVIII. Kim se paseó por el hotel con Odell bastante cerca.

Se les ve a ambos en un ascensor lleno de gente, con Kim aparentemente escondida en la parte trasera.

El dúo acababa de salir de la fiesta Fanatics Super Bowl de Michael Rubin que tenía toneladas de estrellas, tales como Ice Spice, Khloe Kardashian, Tiffany Haddish, Karrueche Tran y muchos otros.

Kim y Odell nunca han confirmado la relación, pero los rumores circulan desde el verano, después de su ruptura con LoLo Wood.

También fueron vistos en una fiesta pre-Grammy el pasado fin de semana organizada por Jay-Z.

Jelly Roll is hyped to have his own Super Bowl commercial, but he still can't believe it -- and he told us how much he would've demanded to do the spot!

Jelly Roll, who's getting mobbed by fans in Vegas this weekend, teamed up with Power to the Patients to "demand transparency in healthcare" ... alongside Lainey Wilson and Valerie June.

The ad will air sometime during the big game today. The cost of a 30-second commercial this year is about $7 million. On top of that, the sponsor has to pay the talent, and folks like Ben Affleck are raking in $10 mil for a spot. As for JR ... well, watch the clip.

Jelly Roll clearly believes in the importance of the message, saying the coolest part of the whole experience is that people are already responding to his message.

Power to the Patients previously teamed up with hip hop legends Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Method Man, Rick Ross, and French Montana to combat "hospitals and insurers rigging a system to make profits off of people that are in struggle."

Kaskade is setting the music mood for the Super Bowl ... but he says the NFL hasn't called on him to shine a light on Taylor Swift -- telling TMZ Sports he has no specific orders to rock Travis Kelce's girl's songs during the Big Game.

We spoke with the league's first-ever in-game DJ before the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs take the field for the championship in Las Vegas ... and naturally, we had to ask if Roger Goodell's org. specifically requested to make the night Swifty-friendly.

Kaskade says he was given free reign on the night -- as long as the content is clean, obvi -- but no one put a bug in his ear to go out of his way to include anything from the Grammy award-winning artist's discography.

David Kaufman no se está quedando callado en la conversación sobre quién debiese interpretar a Danny Phantom en una película live action y le dice a TMZ que tiene algunas ideas claras del casting.

El actor, que puso voz al personaje titular en los 53 episodios de la serie de televisión y repitió su papel en las películas posteriores y en los videojuegos, nos dijo que está a favor de que Tom Holland interprete a Danny aunque cree que con Spider-Man podría ser suficiente con los roles de superhéroes por un tiempo.

Esta es la cuestión, Butch Hartman, creador de un montón de programas de televisión para Nickelodeon en los 2000, habló recientemente con MegaCon en Orlando y dijo que si alguna vez hubiera una película de acción real de "Danny Phantom", solo querría a Tom Holland en el papel.

Para aquellos que no lo saben, "Danny Phantom" seguía a un adolescente llamado Danny Fenton que adquiría habilidades fantasmales después de que explotara un portal a otro mundo y lo convirtiera en un ser mitad humano, mitad fantasma.

Un gran pero, sin embargo, es que nada de esto ha entrado en producción o ha sido anunciado por lo que podemos decir, pero sigue siendo algo en la mente de Kaufman y piensa que Tom Holland estaría bien si él quiere hacerlo.

David señaló que Tom se dirige al West End para una producción de "Romeo y Julieta", algo que considera muy bueno para él, ya que significa un salto hacia otros papeles, distintos de los superhéroes que Holland ha interpretado hasta ahora.

Francamente, no es difícil imaginar a Tom queriendo perseguir diferentes tipos de papeles en el futuro, ya que el tipo es un tour de force de talento.

Kaufman no solo estaba contrarrestando la idea de Butch, sino que también tiene sus propias ideas para el elenco, como el actor de "Stranger Things", Noah Schnapp, como Danny y Billie Eilish como su amiga y luego amor de Sam.

David felicitó a Noah por su sentido de la comedia y piensa que ese es un gran sello del carácter de Danny, por lo que cualquier actor que lo interprete tiene que saber cómo hacer una broma. Y basta ver algunas fotos de los personajes para advertir que es un casting bastante perfecto, al menos en apariencia.

Billie no tiene mucha experiencia como actriz, pero eso nunca ha sido un problema en Hollywood. Es candidata, además, a su segundo Oscar por Mejor Canción Original, así que tal vez ella se inspire para darle una oportunidad a la actuación.

David Kaufman's not going ghost on the conversation about who should play Danny Phantom in the live-action movie ... telling TMZ he's got some clear casting ideas.

The actor -- who voiced the titular character in all 53 episodes of the television show and reprised his role in subsequent movies and video games ... told us he's all for Tom Holland playing DP though he thinks Spider-Man might be all done with superheroes for a while.

Here's the deal ... Butch Hartman, creator of a whole bunch of well-known animated shows for Nickelodeon in the 2000s, recently spoke at MegaCon in Orlando and said if there ever was a "Danny Phantom" live-action movie, he'd only want Tom Holland in the role.

For those who don't know, "Danny Phantom" followed a teenager named Danny Fenton who gained ghost-like abilities after a portal to another world exploded and turned him into half-human, half-ghost.

A big if of course ... nothing like this has gone into production or even been announced as far as we can tell -- but it's still something Kaufman really put his mind to, and he decided TH is fine by him if he wants to do it.

DK pointed out Tom's headed to the West End for a production of "Romeo & Juliet" ... a fact David thinks is great for him since it's a departure from the superhero roles Holland has nailed to this point in his career.

Quite frankly, it's not difficult to imagine Tom wanting to pursue different kinds of roles moving forward either since the dude's a talent tour de force.

Kaufman wasn't just countering Butch's idea though ... he also came up with a couple casting calls of his own -- "Stranger Things" actor Noah Schnapp as Danny and Billie freakin' Eilish as his friend-turned-love-interest Sam.

David complimented Noah on his comedic timing, saying he thinks that's a huge part of Danny's character -- so any actor playing him needs to know their way around a joke. And, just look up some pics of the characters ... pretty perfect casting, at least appearance-wise.

Billie doesn't have much acting experience, but that's never stopped Hollywood before ... and she's up for her second Best Original Song Oscar, so maybe she'll be inspired to give acting a try.

The parents of Courtney Clenney -- the OnlyFans model charged with murdering her boyfriend -- say she told them he nearly killed her a few weeks before his fatal stabbing.

We interviewed Kim and Deborah Clenney for a new 'TMZ Investigates' airing Monday at 9 PM ET/8 Central on FOX  -- examining Courtney's case and their volatile relationship -- and they say she told them she feared Christian Obumseli might kill her.

Courtney's parents say their daughter told them Christian once strangled her to the point she started passing out, and a scary thought ran through her mind ... "Oh my gosh, my mom's going to have to plan my funeral."

The Clenneys say the alleged incident happened only a few weeks before Courtney stabbed Christian to death.

Courtney's parents admit she was abusive towards Christian, but they say he abused her too ... made worse by the fact he heavily outweighed her and was much bigger in physical stature and strength.

The Clenneys say that's all on display in the elevator video from the Miami apartment complex where Courtney fatally stabbed Christian.

Courtney's parents say the footage shows Christian manhandling her, easily throwing her in a headlock and being unaffected by her trying to shove him out of the elevator.

Remember ... Courtney's maintained she killed Christian in self-defense.

Los padres de Courtney Clenney, la modelo de OnlyFans acusada de asesinar a su novio, dicen que ella les dijo que él estuvo a punto de matarla unas semanas antes del fatal apuñalamiento.

Entrevistamos a Kim y Deborah Clenney para un nuevo especial de "TMZ Investiga", que se emite el lunes a las 9 PM ET/8 por Central FOX, en donde examinamos el caso de Courtney y su volátil relación, incluyendo que temía que Christian Obumseli la pudiera matar.

Los padres de Courtney dicen que su hija les dijo que una vez Christian la estranguló tanto que empezó a desmayarse y tuvo el aterrador pensamiento de que iba morir en su mente. "Dios mío, mi madre va a tener que planear mi funeral".

Los Clenneys dicen que el presunto incidente ocurrió solo unas semanas antes de que Courtney apuñalara a Christian hasta provocarle la muerte.

Los padres de Courtney admiten que ella abusaba de Christian, pero dicen que él también abusaba de ella, lo que se veía empeorado por el hecho de que él pesaba mucho más que ella y era mucho más grande en estatura física y fuerza.

Los Clenneys dicen que todo queda en evidencia en el video del ascensor en el complejo de apartamentos de Miami, donde Courtney apuñaló mortalmente a Christian.

Los padres de Courtney dicen que las imágenes muestran a Christian maltratándola y lanzándola fácilmente en una llave de cabeza. También se ve cómo ella intenta empujarlo fuera del ascensor, sin recibir ningún efecto.

Recuerden, Courtney ha dicho que mató a Christian en defensa propia.

You can catch Sam Hartman on a football field, in a weight room, or in a quarterback meeting ... but one place you won't find the former Notre Dame superstar is a barbershop -- 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he knows he simply cannot cut his luscious locks.

The Fighting Irish star spoke with us while out in Las Vegas for Super Bowl week ... and he explained that one thing he's learned since he's risen to stardom -- both on the field and off of it -- is that his hair has to be here to stay.

"People are adamant about that," Hartman said with a laugh. "And my mom likes it."

Of course, the 'do has certainly opened up a lot of doors for the 24-year-old in the past year or so. While his play on the field has obviously garnered him a lot of attention in the sports world -- his looks have turned him into an internet sensation.

In fact, an ad he just recently appeared in has already gained over 20 MILLION views on TikTok ... with most of the watchers droolin' over his mane in the comment section.

Hartman is clearly aware of it all ... telling us jokingly, "Shoutout to Mom for giving me the hair and giving me the good genetics."

But, the signal-caller has his eyes slated on far more than being a heartthrob ... he's gunning to make the NFL -- working his tail off this offseason so a team will select him in April's draft.

Kelly Stewart is one of the best when it comes to sports betting, and she wants to help you earn a little extra cheddar this Super Bowl Sunday!

TMZ Sports talked to Stewart -- the co-host of OutKick's The Fade with Clay Travis -- about some of her favorite bets heading into the Chiefs vs. 49ers game.

"I think if you like either team you bet them on the money line," Stewart said.

"A 2-point spread, slight implied odds that the Niners are a little bit better on a neutral field than the Chiefs, which I would agree with here. But I don't know how we see these last few seconds playing out. I think for me, the last I want holding a Niners ticket is Patrick Mahomes to have 2 minutes left on the clock. That would make me a little uneasy come Sunday."

Despite that terrifying thought ... here's the bet Kelly made for herself.

"I did lay -$125 with the Niners, so if you like the Niners, I think you bet them on the money line."

If you're interested in over/unders ... Kelly has some advice.

"What I always tell people, before you bet, think about your game script. How do you think the game is gonna play out? I think we're gonna see a higher-scoring first half here. I like the first half over. I know some really good friends of mine that agree with me," Stewart told us.

"I think the second half is gonna be lower scoring. I think we're gonna see Steve Spagnolo's defense step up, we know the Niners defense has been one of the best second half defenses over the last two seasons," KS said ... pointing out that San Fran's D has won a lot of people money of late.

Cynthia Bailey says her friend Kandi Burruss is gonna be just fine after leaving "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" ... but she adds the show itself needs some help.

We spoke to the 'RHOA' mainstay outside WeHo hotspot The Henry, just days after her friend and longtime costar Kandi announced at the Grammys she was exiting 'Housewives.'

CB says she's a little surprised, but noted she talks to KB a lot when cameras aren't rolling ... so, she kinda saw this coming.

Cynthia's not worrying about her pal -- who joined the show before its second season in 2009 -- adding Kandi does so well while still juggling the show, and Bailey can't wait to see how high the "badass bitch" will fly without it on her plate.

She also thinks Kandi has a safety net, telling us she's on great terms with Bravo ... so, returning to 'RHOA' will always be an option. As Cynthia sees it, the show's OGs can "come and go" as they please.

However, she does say the show could use a few fresh faces to improve ratings -- not a complete blow-up of the cast, but a little something ... a notion former 'Housewife' NeNe Leakes also thinks needs to happen.

She also shouted out Phaedra Parks' role on "The Traitors" -- a reality competition/murder mystery show taking the TV world by storm, and said she should definitely come back to 'RHOA' now that Kandi's eyeing greener pastures.

Remember ... Kandi and Phaedra had an epic falling out during their time on the show -- with Phaedra even going as far as starting a rumor Kandi wanted to drug and sexually assault Porsha Williams during season 9. PP was fired at the end of the season.

Cynthia says any issues between Phaedra and Kandi are their business, she just knows Phaedra is "great TV" ... so she wouldn't be opposed to her return.

Cynthia also touched on Kim Zolciak-Biermann potentially coming back ... and while she thinks Kim is also must-see TV, Cynthia says it hurts to watch the downfall of Kim's marriage to Kroy.

We'll have to wait and see which, if any, OG cast members get tapped for a homecoming.

Kane Hodder está molesto porque Kanye West esté usando una máscara de Jason, pero no porque no quiera ser asociado con Ye, ¡sino que porque quiere ofrecerle una mejor!

Hablamos con Kane, quien ha interpretado a Jason Voorhees en varias películas y juegos de "Viernes 13", en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles y dice que es genial ver al polémico rapero representando al legendario personaje, pero no cree que la máscara esté a la altura.

Hablándole directamente a Kanye a través de nuestra cámara, Kane le imploró que le permita darle una mejor máscara, diciendo que la que lleva puesta es "cursi" e insistió en que puede conseguirle una "bonita".

Kane dijo que incluso tiene algunas máscaras de películas en su casa, aunque parecía un poco reacio a desprenderse de ellas. Sin embargo, se hizo la idea, así que siempre y cuando Ye no se quede con ellas, él lo consideraría.

También le dio algunos consejos, como que amplíe sus ojos en el escenario cuando esté con la máscara porque realmente va a sorprender a la audiencia.

Kane también dijo que no está preocupado por las controversias en torno a Kanye. Dice que no le hace daño a la marca, sino que solo le eleva el perfil, ya que hace que las personas se acuerden de la legendaria serie de terror.

Kanye realmente ha interpretado el papel de Jason recientemente. El fin de semana pasado llegó a usar una máscara de Michael Myers durante el rodaje de un extraño video musical.

También la ha utilizado en algunas actuaciones sobre el escenario e incluso casualmente alrededor de Los Ángeles, como cuando recientemente se detuvo en uno de los partidos de baloncesto de su hijo Saint con ella puesta.

Y es una buena cosa que Kane no esté preocupado de que Ye manche la imagen, porque su nuevo álbum "Vultures" recibió un lanzamiento suave el viernes y comenzó una tormenta de fuego absoluta en línea

Ye hizo más referencias a los judíos e incluso nombró a Taylor Swift. No es una disidencia directa, pero incluso menciona su nombre, lo que llevó a los Swifties a golpear contra la pared dada su complicada historia.

Y en la portada del álbum está usando la máscara de hockey junto a su esposa Bianca Censori, quien aparece básicamente desnuda, por lo que el estilo va a ser asociado con Kanye durante mucho tiempo.

Ye también está siendo acusado por múltiples artistas y sus herederos por utilizar samples de sus canciones sin permiso. No está claro si estas reclamaciones pretenden perseguirlo.

5:12 PM PT -- Kane may want to hold on to his masks for now ... 'cause Ye's seemingly moved off the whole Jason theme already. He just posted a new version of his album cover to IG -- and he blacked out the mask!

Kane Hodder's upset about Kanye West wearing a Jason mask ... not because he doesn't want to be associated with Ye -- 'cause he wants to get him a better one!

We spoke with Kane -- who has played Jason Voorhees in several "Friday the 13th" movies and games -- at LAX and he says it's great to see the controversial rapper repping the legendary character, but he doesn't think the mask is up to snuff.

Speaking directly to Kanye through our camera, KH implored KW to let him give the rapper a better mask, calling the one he's wearing "cheesy" and insisting he could hook Ye up with a "nice" one.

Kane said he's even got a few movie-worn masks at his house ... though he seemed a bit reluctant to part with one of those. However, he came around to the idea a bit -- so long as Ye doesn't piss him off by trying to keep it, he said he'd consider it.

He also gave some advice to Kanye ... telling him to really widen his eyes onstage when in the mask -- 'cause it'll really shock the audience.

Kane said he's not worried about any controversy surrounding Kanye ... he says it doesn't hurt the brand -- instead saying it just raises the profile because it makes people remember the legendary horror series.

Kanye's really played into the Jason mask style recently ... even going as far as to wear it over a Michael Myers mask during a bizarre music video shoot just last weekend.

He's also worn it onstage during performances and even just casually around Los Angeles ... like when he recently pulled up to one of his son Saint's basketball games with it on.

And, it's a good thing Kane's not worried about Ye tainting the mask ... 'cause his new album "Vultures" received a soft rollout Friday and started an absolute firestorm online.

Ye made more references to Jewish people and even name-dropped Taylor Swift -- not an outright diss, but even mentioning her name drove Swifties up the wall ... given their complicated history.

And, on the album's cover ... Ye's in the hockey mask, and his wife Bianca Censori basically naked, so the look's gonna be associated with Kanye for a long time to come.

Ye's also being accused of multiple artists and their estates of using samples from their songs without permission ... unclear if these claims will come back to haunt him.

All that said ... THE Jason Voorhees is signing off on Ye using the mask -- so, Ye may lean into the look for a long time to come.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's families are getting super close ... taking in Sunday's big game from a suite together TMZ has learned -- and, like a gentleman, Travis is paying.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Taylor's mom, Andrea, dad Scott, brother Austin and his girlfriend Sydney are going to sit with Travis' mom Donna, dad Ed, brother Jason and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce while watching Travis compete for his third Super Bowl ring.

Taylor's gonna be there of course, and we're told some of her friends are tagging along ... though we don't know if any of her famous entourage will join the two families.

Allegiant Stadium sources tell us the suite costs well over $1 million ... and we're told that Travis is covering all of it because he just wants everyone to enjoy Super Bowl Sunday together.

87 sorta said this was the case on his "New Heights" podcast earlier this week when he joked he was "just counting how much money I'm spending on this damn Super Bowl for family and friends to come."

Well, we now know exactly who he spent all that dough on ... and it seems like he'll definitely be staying in the good graces of the Swift family.

There's been a ton of interaction between the happy couple and their families this year ... whether it be pics and videos of Donna cheering alongside Taylor or T-Swift hanging out with her own parents at a game, Travis has been feeling the love and support this season.

Las familias de Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce se están volviendo súper cercanas y mirarán el gran partido del domingo juntas desde una suite, según ha averiguado TMZ, y como todo un caballero, Travis está invitando.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que la mamá de Taylor, Andrea, su padre, Scott, su hermano Austin y su novia Sydney van a sentarse con la madre de Travis, Donna, su padre Ed, su hermano Jason y su cuñada Kylie Kelce mientras ven a Travis competir por su tercer anillo en el Super Bowl.

Taylor va a estar allí, por supuesto, y nos dicen que algunos de sus amigos estarán allí acompañándolos, aunque no sabemos si algún famoso amigo de su séquito se unirá a las dos familias.

Fuentes del Allegiant Stadium nos dicen que la suite cuesta más de 1 millón de dólares y nos dicen que Travis está cubriendo todo porque solo quiere que todos disfruten del Super Bowl juntos el domingo.

El 87 más o menos lo dijo en su podcast "New Heights" a principios de esta semana cuando bromeó que estaba "contando cuánto dinero estoy gastando en este maldito Super Bowl para que mi familia y amigos vengan".

Bueno, ahora sabemos exactamente en quién gastó toda esa pasta y parece que definitivamente quedará como rey con la familia Swift.

Ha habido un montón de interacción entre la feliz pareja y sus familias este año, ya sea con fotos o videos de Donna animando a su hijo junto a Taylor o T-Swift pasando el rato con sus propios padres en un juego, así que Travis definitivamente ha estado sintiendo el amor y el apoyo esta temporada.

Damar Hamlin is pulling for the team that booted the Buffalo Bills from the playoffs on Sunday ... telling TMZ Sports he believes the Kansas City Chiefs will win their second-straight Super Bowl.

But, don't get it twisted -- #3 says he's rocking with Bills Mafia for life ... and he'll be right off that bandwagon after a brief three-hour run.

25-year-old Hamlin weighed in on this weekend's matchup with Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show on FS1 this week ... and he gave us his exclusive take on who he'd like to see hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

It may be a bit surprising to hear ... considering the Chiefs have had the Bills' number in the postseason since 2020.

But, the safety explained Patrick Mahomes is the main reason behind his allegiance ... as it's truly hard to see the two-time Super Bowl MVP not coming out on top against the San Francisco 49ers.

We talked to Hamlin about much more than the Big Game -- he also chopped it up about his incredible return to the football field after nearly losing his life during "Monday Night Football" in Jan. 2023, his appreciation for NBA superstar LeBron James, and his newest partnership with the Don't Quit nutrition brand.
