Kanye West Gets Early Pass at Wyoming Resort

Published | Updated

Kanye West has turned the Wyoming resort he's staying at into Kanyeville ... because he and his team are the hotel's only guests.

Our sources in Jackson Hole, Wyoming tell TMZ ... the luxurious resort is currently closed to the public because it's off-season. But get this ... the resort opened its doors when Ye's team came a-calling. As we first reported ... Kanye hit up the Cowboy State to apply the finishing touches on his 5 upcoming albums.

We're told the hotel -- which features suites and private homes -- had zero problem accommodating Kanye since he's one of the resort's most loyal and high-profile clients.

Sources tell us Kanye's staying at one of the several stand-alone homes that costs about $5k per night. The pad has its own private entrance and is separate from the suites, which btw aren't staffed ... save for a maintenance crew and some managers.

As we've also reported ... Kanye will get a stream of visitors who will help him complete his albums. It appears Kim's also there ... making this much clear -- work comes with a spectacular view.

Paris Jackson BLASTS Paparazzo ... Don't Call Me Doo-Doo Head!!!

Published | Updated

Paris Jackson furiously went after a paparazzo for calling her a nickname reserved only for those close to her late father, Michael Jackson.

The encounter went down as she was leaving a Met Gala event Thursday night in NYC ... with an entourage in tow, a throng of fans in the distance and horde of paps waiting to get a shot of her.

Check it out ... one photog tries getting her attention by calling her "doo-doo head," a nickname the King of Pop held for his kids, nieces, nephews and even Macaulay Culkin. The use of the nickname clearly conjured up some deep feelings for Paris ... as she tore into the pap.

It kinda gets worse ... after the encounter, other photogs start referring to her as "apple head," another term of endearment MJ also used for those close to him.

For what it's worth ... our guy only called her beautiful.

Josh Rosen Honors Todd Heap's Daughter ... with $300 Tip!

Published | Updated

Arizona Cardinals rookie QB Josh Rosen left a fat ass tip after a sushi date with his mom ... and it's all to honor the late daughter of ex-Cardinals tight end Todd Heap.

Tragically, Heap's 3-year-old daughter Holly passed away last year after a car accident at the family home in Arizona.

To honor her memory, the Heaps started Hugs From Holly Day on May 3 -- and encouraged people to spread love and joy in their community with a random act of kindness.

The Heaps also asked people to wear pink (Holly's favorite color).

Rosen answered the call and after a $94 sushi meal in Manhattan Beach, CA -- he dropped a $300 tip for the staff. Pretty cool.

And he also wore pink.

Heap played for the Arizona Cardinals in 2011 and 2012 after spending 10 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens.

He's also from Mesa, AZ and became a college football star at Arizona State.

Michael Blackson If Slavery Was A Choice Then Kim's Paris Robbery Was Too!

Published | Updated

Comedian Michael Blackson says he's seen firsthand how slavery wasn't a choice after visiting the Slave Castles in his native Ghana, but he's still willing to give Kanye a pass for his controversial comment.

We got Michael at LAX Thursday and he gave us -- but mostly Kanye -- a lesson about how African slaves were captured at gunpoint. He says Kanye couldn't possibly have meant what he said about slavery being a choice. MB says that would be the equivalent of saying Kim Kardashian chose to get robbed at gunpoint in Paris.

Michael, like many people, thinks Kanye's speaking without fully forming his ideas -- but he has a suggestion for him to snap out of it. Hint: think sunken place.

Bill Cosby's Wife Camille Guilty Verdict is 'Mob Justice'

Published | Updated

Bill Cosby is the victim of a lynch mob and straight-up got a heavy dose of mob justice in his sexual assault case ... this according to his wife.

Camille Cosby lashed out and viciously defended her husband of 54 years after he was found guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand back in 2004. Camille

... accusing the media of "frenzied, relentless demonization of him" and accepting Bill's accusers allegations without any proof.

For what it's worth ... a juror in the Cosby trial said what sealed the disgraced comedian's fate was his own admission. Camille went on to accuse the District Attorney's office of an unethical campaign to destroy Bill and called for a criminal investigation of "that D.A. and his cohorts."

Kanye West Heart-to-Heart with Photog ... We Are All Important

Published | Updated

Kanye West's relationship with the paparazzi has changed a lot over the years ... case in point -- his interactions with them now end with a hug.

Kanye was in Calabasas Tuesday afternoon -- apparently talking to Kim on the phone after his visit to the TMZ newsroom -- when he was approached by a photog. Ye answered his question ... then opened up a dialogue.

Check it out -- Kanye asks the guy about his personal life and fatherhood, and explains how his respect for dads has grown after starting his own family ... especially for dads who provide for their family.

The rapper's words definitely struck a chord with the cameraman ... and the 2 ended in a warm embrace.

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Paradise Vacay Forecast: Cloudy Skies & Stormi Conditions

Published | Updated

Kylie Jenner had one helluva way to kill 2 birds with 1 stone -- celebrating Travis Scott and Stormi's birthday with one baller getaway.

Kylie posted these pics of her brood enjoying a paradise vacation to celebrate Travis and Stormi hitting another milestone -- Travis turned 26 Monday and Stormi turned 3 months Tuesday.

Stormi can't even walk and already she's proving the lap of luxury suits her well. Last time Kylie and Travis were on a boat it was an adults-only adventure ... but this shindig was all about her (and sure, Travis too, but daddy's little girl trumps all else).

Kylie and Travis looked like they enjoyed the beach all to themselves, which really isn't that surprising. Over the weekend, Kylie said she rented out Six Flags Magic Mountain for Travis' birthday and brought with them Kendall, Kim, Kourtney and Kylie's bff, Jordyn Woods. She said they'd never been.

Of course ... no ocean shot's complete without a glimpse of Kylie's other assets.

Mame June & Honey Boo Boo Family Affair in Vegas ... Pumpkin Got Married!!!

Published | Updated

Mama June's family has officially expanded by one -- because Honey Boo Boo's big sis just got hitched!

June's 18-year-old daughter, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon tied the knot with her fiance, Joshua Efird, Monday night in Vegas ... and then the whole crew hit the Strip for a dinner at Buca di Beppo.

We broke the story a couple years ago when Pumpkin got engaged to her then 19-year-old BF. They'd only been dating for 9 months, and she was only 16. Despite the age gap, June approved of the engagement because the kids were taking things slow.

The plan then was to wait 'til Pumpkin was 18 before getting married ... and that's exactly what they did. They didn't take it slow in the baby department though -- the couple had a daughter in December.

We're told TV cameras were shooting Pumpkin and the wedding party, so it's a good bet the happy event will be on the new season of "Mama June: From Not to Hot."

Congrats!

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS ...

John Gotti Jr. I'm Not A Tough Guy ... My MMA Fighter Son Is

Published | Updated

John Gotti Jr. -- a guy known as one of the toughest guys ever -- says there's actually one person in the family even tougher than him ... his MMA fighter son, John III.

If you don't know who John Gotti Jr. is then we're assuming you don't know who John Gotti Sr. was ... and to be honest, we're not sure if we can tell you (google it, and let them be the rat).

John Gotti III is an MMA fighter whose first pro bout is May 4 at a Classic Entertainment & Sports show in New York -- and at a recent workout at Powerhouse Gym in NYC said he's got a clear dream opponent.

"Who wouldn't wanna fight Conor McGregor?"

John Jr. was on hand for the workout and said it's actually tough to watch his kid get in there and bang -- but was quick to give it up to his son, saying he and other MMA fighters are the "real" tough guys.

"I have an immense amount of respect for anyone who climbs into that cage, those are the tough guys. Because those are the guys that gotta get in there in front of all these people and inflict harm, and be harmed."

Did you google it? Yeah, told you, now keep your mouth shut.

Ball Family Returns From Lithuania ... Lots Of Long Faces

BALLS ARE BACK

LaVar, Lonzo, LaMelo and LiAngelo are officially back in L.A. from Lithuania -- but it ain't exactly the triumphant return they envisioned when they left in the first place.

As we previously reported, LaVar just announced 'Gelo & 'Melo wouldn't be continuing their seasons overseas, citing injuries and disagreements with the coaches.

The boys are back now ... and even though the cameras from their "Ball In The Family" reality show were shooting, the guys weren't putting on much of a show -- with Lonzo munching Pringles and LaVar uncharacteristically quiet.

Have they been humbled? We doubt it, but the silent treatment is extremely interesting considering the family's recent number of setbacks.

Still, if you're expecting the LaVar silence to last ... don't hold your breath.

Sasha Obama I'm Tight with Cardi and Offset

Published | Updated

Sasha Obama looked super comfortable kicking it backstage with Cardi B and Offset at a huge D.C. music festival.

Cardi B and Migos headlined the Broccoli City Festival in Washington D.C. Saturday and Sasha made it out to the fest for a photo opp many music fans would kill to have.

The festival was worth the trek ... it's the last performance Cardi's doing before she gives birth.

Crazy to think Sasha's 16, now ... she was only 7 when her dad, Barack, became POTUS. She's clearly becoming her own person because she does festivals way different from her big sister, Malia.

Derek Fisher & Gloria Govan It's Time to Plan for Family Expansion

Published | Updated

Derek Fisher and Gloria Govan aren't just tying the knot, they're blending 2 families together ... which means adjustments need to be made to their house.

The couple has already laid out plans to make more room for their soon-to-be blended fam ... according to L.A. City docs. The 2 got a permit in January for Derek's Tarzana pad to remodel 2 bedrooms, and build an additional bathroom on the second floor.

Fisher's home is already 5,110 sq. ft with 5 beds and 5 baths, but when you take into account he's got 4 kids and Govan has 2 ... the more space (and bathrooms) the merrier.

Estimated cost -- $10k.

We broke the story ... Derek popped the question to Gloria earlier this month surrounded by their kids. Obviously, she said yes. Her ex and father of her sons, Matt Barnes, even weighed in on the engagement ... saying he was happy for everyone.

HE'S A RESILIANT MAN

Billy Bush says George H.W. Bush probably isn't going anywhere anytime soon -- 'cause he's been to the hospital bed and back before ... plus, he's got jelly jars to mug for.

We got Billy hanging with his kids Sunday at Pacific Park in Santa Monica, where we asked how his uncle was doing after being hospitalized just a day after Barbara Bush's funeral.

He says the POTUS 41 is "solid" -- noting he was hospitalized 5 years ago, and came back from that just fine. Billy also makes a prediction about H.W.'s short-term and long-term life goals -- namely, a potential plan to be the (literal) face of Smucker's. Give it 7 years.

Speaking of his late aunt ... Billy's got a hilarious story about Barbara, too. Just listen.
