Family

Khloe Kardashian is having early contractions and her family is jetting to Cleveland to be by her side and lend support in the wake of the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the contractions just started and, although there's no way to know, it may not be a coincidence it happened just hours after videos surfaced of Tristan hooking up with other women. We're told her due date is late April, but it looks like the baby is coming soon.

Our sources say Kris Jenner flew out Wednesday morning and Kim, along with other family members and friends are scheduled to fly out Thursday and Friday.

We're told the family is extremely upset over the revelations about Tristan ... they say they were in the dark until Tuesday.

As for Tristan ... he has a game tonight in Cleveland, on the heels of his team's NYC trip ... which included his apparent rendezvous with a side chick. As we first reported, he was also with 2 other women last Fall in a D.C. area club.

11:55 AM PT -- Pauly tells TMZ ... "Looking back on my mom’s life, the one word that comes to mind is giver. She gave her heart, her soul, and her stages. So Mom, on behalf of myself and all of the other comedians, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us develop our craft at the Store. Not only were you our comedy Godmother, you are my mother. We’d be nothing without you and your guidance. While you’re up in heaven, we will be down here on Earth making sure the Main Room, Belly Room, and Original room stay sacred. I love you. You will always be in my heart. Love Pauly, your baby."

Comedy Store founder and owner Mitzi Shore has died ... TMZ has learned.

Mitzi, the mother of Pauly Shore, died in L.A. Wednesday morning after battling an unknown neurological disorder for years.

Mitzi's Comedy Store was the launching pad for some of the biggest comics in the world, including Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, Arsenio Hall and Roseanne Barr.

Mitzi had been in hospice for a while, and Pauly took her to the Comedy Store Monday afternoon to say goodbye.

The Comedy Store opened its doors in 1972 on the Sunset Strip, where it has become a landmark for tourists as well as locals in Los Angeles. The huge names who got their start there would famously return unannounced to test out material.

Case in point ... imagine seeing Richard Pryor do a 2 minute set, before introducing an up-and-comer named Robin Williams.

Comics who performed at the venue recently knew the end was near, because over the last few weeks they would tell the audience to pray for Mitzi. Pauly said Mitzi was not in pain in her final days.

She's survived by 4 children.

Mitzi was 87.

RIP

Cardi B is striking gold with her debut album, "Invasion of Privacy," and from the looks of it, nothing can stop her from celebrating ... not even being pregnant.

Cardi danced on couches with her sister, Hennessy Carolina, and Janelle Monae Tuesday night at NYC's Moxy Hotel. Ne-Yo, Yo Gotti and Cardi's dad was also there -- rocking a blue suit to match his daughter's. Noticeably missing was her bf and baby daddy, Offset.

Hank Baskett is definitely keeping his cool when it comes to Kendra Wilkinson filing for divorce ... and the proof is in the pudding.

Hank filed his response just hours after Kendra filed for divorce and it looks like they're on the same page because his docs mirror what Kendra said in hers.

TMZ broke the story ... Kendra pulled the trigger to end her marriage when she filed for divorce last week. She listed the date of separation as January 1, 2018 and asked for joint and legal physical custody of their 2 kids, 8-year-old Hank IV and 3-year-old, Alijah.

Things got very real for Ronda Rousey during a session with Tyler Henry -- when the "Hollywood Medium" made a connection with her father ... who took his own life when she was only 8-years-old.

Henry -- a self-described "clairvoyant medium" -- told Ronda he was seeing imagery connected with a a vehicle and someone's final moments.

Ronda instantly become emotional and revealed that her father took his own life inside of a car after suffering from a debilitating medical condition for years.

The UFC legend (turned WWE superstar) began recalling memories of her father and started to tear up during the episode which airs Wednesday on E!.

Khloe Kardashian is taking another stab at television -- but she's doing it behind the cameras, and focusing on family with a sick twist ... sisters who kill.

The soon-to-be mother announced Monday she's partnering with the Investigation Discovery network to develop a new true-crime TV show called "Twisted Sisters." Khloe will executive produce the 6-part series, which for now is set to debut sometime in 2019.

In a statement to TMZ, Khloe says, "I am so excited to be bringing you ‘Twisted Sisters.’ As a self-proclaimed ‘true-crime addict’ there is no better way to tell these tales about the bonds that sisters possess and how they can go so terribly wrong."

The show is said to be about sisters who either kill each other, or team up to kill other people. ID exec Henry Schleiff said the company is happy to be working with Khloe, and looks forward to her unique perspective on the extended sister saga.

Yeah, she'd know a thing or two about that.

Here's Conor McGregor trying to convince you he's a not a monster who savagely attacks innocent people ... he's just a family man doing the best for his kid.

You buyin' it?

Clearly aware that his image is in the garbage right now ... McGregor went to social media and posted a photo with his girlfriend, Dee Devlin, and their 11-month-old son, Conor McGregor Jr.

Conor is calculating -- so don't think for a second there isn't a plan behind the posting ... he wants to convince you he's not the wild animal he appeared in the bus attack video.

You know ... this bus attack video -- where he threw a dolly at a UFC bus at Barclays Center, injuring Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg so badly they had to pull out of their fights.

12:07 PM PT -- We've obtained the declination, and it says Brandon allegedly told Tommy, "Get up old man and fight me" before punching Tommy out cold. The doc says Brandon allegedly then said, "Look at you, motherf*****, you are knocked-out." Tommy's GF then called 911.

Tommy Lee is first and foremost a dad, and that may be why he chose not to cooperate with the criminal investigation targeting his son ... so the L.A. County D.A. has officially rejected the case.

As TMZ reported, Tommy Lee's 21-year-old son, Brandon, coldcocked his dad during an argument last month. Tommy had gone on social media trashing ex-wife Pam Anderson for reliving his domestic violence case during an interview.

Brandon went ballistic, barging into Tommy's bedroom and knocking him out with a sucker punch to the mouth. Brandon told cops he believed Tommy was about to strike him so he punched in self-defense.

Cops launched a battery investigation, but Tommy had a change of heart and wouldn't cooperate. One possible reason ... TMZ got Brandon out after the fight and he talked about how much he loved his dad.

10:40 AM PT -- We've confirmed the hospital Dr. Aliabadi posted from is, in fact, just outside of Cleveland ... guess it's almost baby time.

It looks like Khloe Kardashian may be having her baby ... at least that's the way it appears when you connect the dots.

Khloe is in Cleveland waiting to have her daughter with Tristan Thompson. Now here's what we know. We've been getting tips Monday morning that she's in labor. That said, you can't just rely on tips.

But there's more ... Khloe just posted this ... "We are ready whenever you are little mama."

And then there's this. Kylie's OB/GYN, Dr. Thais Aliabadi, posted a photo over the weekend with the caption, "I have the best job in the world.... #mysaturdaynight #lovemypatients #allbymyself #doctorswhotravel." The doc is from L.A. so she's flown somewhere. As for where ... the pic she posted is in a hospital but she blurred out the name.

On the other hand, we're told she's due in the third week in April.

Blac Chyna's ready to fight Rob Kardashian to keep things status quo when it comes to custody of Dream ... Six Flags stroller scuffle be damned.

Chyna's lawyer, Walter Mosley, tells TMZ ... BC and Rob still have a valid custody agreement in place, and Chyna protecting her daughter shouldn't affect it in any way. We're told any attempts by Rob to alter custody stipulations will be defended "by any means necessary" ... legally speaking.

Our Chyna sources say she stands by her claim she was simply doing what she had to do to protect her kids -- both Dream and King Cairo -- in the Six Flags incident ... and doesn't think her stroller swinging should be held against her.

We broke the story ... Rob's livid Chyna put Dream in harm's way and plans to take her back to family court. We're told he's also concerned about her bringing new men -- like current 18-year-old bf YBN Almighty Jay -- into her home when their child is there ... and wants restrictions put in place.

We're told BC's not down with that either.

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett aren't letting their pending divorce get in the way of their kids -- 'cause the two of them reunited just days after she filed for divorce.

Kendra and Hank both attended their 3-year-old daughter Alijah's soccer game Sunday, which Kendra documented on social media. At one point she points the camera at her estranged hubby, who's almost within arm's reach, standing next to their kid.

The two parents even shouted words of encouragement to Alijah as she dribbled around on the field. It would seem, based on this video, they're on the same team when it comes to their little ones, even in the face of a very public breakup and eventual divorce filing.

We broke the story ... Kendra officially filed for divorce from Hank Friday, citing irreconcilable differences. She's seeking joint legal and physical custody of their two kids.

Beyonce and Jay-Z have their sights set on an impenetrable security compound ... and a comfortable one at that.

Bey and Jay wanna build a new 10-car carport and 2-car garage, complete with living quarters and security guard rooms at their baller Bel-Air property ... this according to building permits the Carters submitted, and obtained by TMZ.

The additions will each include a half bath and the garage will be a 2-story structure. They'll be strategically placed, too -- the carport will face the back road and the garage will face the road closest to the front of the house.

Tiffany Haddish will introduce a man who needs no introduction, but will get it anyway, because he's the late, great and legendary Richard Pryor.

We're told Tiffany's writing the intro to the highly-anticipated 'Richard Pryor Diaries' ... a project spearheaded by Richard's wife, Jennifer Lee Pryor. The book's due out in October, but there's been tremendous buzz since TMZ broke the story that Richard did, in fact, bang Marlon Brando.

The book, of course, will dive into Richard's bisexuality, his home life and storied career.

We're told Tiffany jumped at the opportunity because Richard's one of her heroes. Tiffany, of course, attended a Laugh Factory camp back in the late '90s when she was in high school, which Pryor visited. He also mentored Tiffany, whose career skyrocketed since "Girls Trip."

Unclear what Tiffany's gonna let outta the bag -- she's good at that -- but pretty sure it'll be hilarious.

Richard's wife will be at a book signing Sunday for the reissue of Richard's book, "Pryor Convictions And Other Life Sentences" at Book Soup in WeHo.

October can't come soon enough.

Travis Scott's mom is throwing her grandbaby, Stormi, a welcome party -- for his side of the family -- and the rapper's making sure the floral arrangements are on point ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the storm-themed shindig tell us Travis picked up the bill for 6 floral sculptures and stands, which display lightning bolts going through clouds of roses, orchids and hydrangeas. The raindrops are Swarovski crystals!

We're told Travis dropped $7,145 on the whole thing.

Our sources say Kylie will be there for Stormi's first meeting with the Webster fam -- and the celebration's going down at the Missouri City, TX house Travis bought his mom for Christmas.

Blac Chyna ain't sweating her Six Flags fight or any potential custody issues with Rob and the rest of the Kardashians ... in fact, it's all a laughing matter to her.

BC was out Wednesday night in Bev Hills and, of course, was asked about Rob setting up a showdown in family court. TMZ broke the story, he wants the judge to school Chyna on how to take care of their 1-year-old daughter, Dream. It was a reaction to seeing her slinging a baby stroller Sunday at the amusement park.

It also got Chyna dumped as brand ambassador to a baby stroller company.

Chris Hemsworth is teaching Matt Damon what it means to be a true beach dude, Down Under, and lesson number one appears to be ... ditch the shirt, bro!

Matt and his wife, Luciana Barroso, have been hanging with Chris and his missus, Elsa Pataky, all week down in Byron Bay, Australia. Wednesday was a beach day -- the wives were rocking bikinis while Chris, Matt and another friend checked out the surf.

Check out the pics ... the Damons handled the PDA this time around, although Matt was way more subtle than Chris in that department.

No doubt, this pairing of couples makes for a super fit looking double date, but, c'mon -- hanging next to shirtless Hemsworth can't be easy. We're with ya, Matty!
