Johnny Weir Infamous Orange Birkin Gets Facelift
Johnny Weir's defaced orange Birkin is looking as good as new after finally getting its court-mandated spot treatment.
Weir's ex Victor had tagged a giant "F--- YOU" across the Hermes bag in black marker during their nasty split.
In their divorce settlement, Victor got the Faberge egg and the Birkin ... with one string attached. He was required to remove the "F--- YOU" ... presumably so it could not be associated with Johnny.
The court docs laid out specific instructions for the hand-off and restoration, including a stipulation that Victor cannot use Johnny's name if he resells the bag.
Birkins go for anywhere between $12,000 to $223,000 and a recent study says they're a better investment than gold or stocks, so Vic's going to be just fine.

Ronda Rousey Painted Naked Ass Creates Swimsuit Boom!
Ronda Rousey's swimsuit was painted on for her Sports Illustrated photo shoot, but that didn't stop sales of the actual one-piece it's based on from selling out almost instantly.
Ronda's paint job was a replica of a one-piece made by Australian swimwear brand, We Are Handsome. The company's a fave with celebs ... Beyonce even sported one of their jaguar suits over the summer.
We Are Handsome tells us Ronda's plug made website sales for the suit surge 300% ... so good luck getting it.

Kris Jenner I'm Not Done with Corey Gamble ... And the Fur's Real
Kris Jenner has been out of the dating game so long, the term "single" confounds her.
Kris was on "Bachelor Live" Monday night with Chris Harrison and Chris Soules and she talked about being single with 4 kids back in the day. Harrison asked her if she's single now, and she said "yes."
But our Jenner sources say she's still solid with Corey Gamble. In fact, the 2 were out together Monday night at Craig's in WeHo.
And speaking of being out at Craig's ... our Jenner sources say the fur is fox ... an '80s vintage Dior.
Cue PETA posting videos on how fur coats are made.
El Chapo Felony Fashions ... Capture Launches Craze
El Chapo's got a new side hustle -- modeling loud, flamboyant men's shirts/blouses and pushing sales through the roof.
Okay, he's not getting paid for it, but an L.A. shop is totally capitalizing on the drug lord's capture. El Chapo was wearing a couple of nightclub-ish shirts in the photos that went with Sean Penn's Rolling Stone article -- and one of our guys (from I.T. of all places) recognized the gear from the store, called Barabas.
The store's manager tells us sales skyrocketed when the pics came out. They're even using El Chapo's image now on their website, which crashed from the initial sales surge.
If you're interested:
- the "Fantasy" men's button-down (stripes) is "filled with an abstract design that makes it stand out"
- the "Crazy Paisley" men's button-down is "definitely one to wear on a night on the town"
Also great for crawling through drug tunnels, both shirts go for $128.

Johnny Manziel Nike Considering Dropping QB 'We're on the Fence'
Johnny Manziel is in danger of losing his biggest sponsor -- Nike -- with sources telling TMZ Sports the company is "on the fence" about dropping the QB from its roster this off-season.
In fact, one highly placed Nike source tells us ... "We are worried about him and hope things will turn around in the right direction ... but we are on the fence if [our relationship] will continue."
Just last week, Manziel was dropped from LeBron James' marketing agency LRMR -- with the organization saying Johnny needs to work on "personal growth."
In the past couple of months, Manziel was accused of striking his girlfriend during an argument on the way home from a bar ... and was benched by the Browns after lying about partying.
Losing Nike would be a HUGE blow for Manziel -- who reportedly signed a very lucrative multi-year deal with the Swoosh back in 2014.
Stay tuned ...

T.I. Jewelry Company Sues ... He's a Very Flashy Deadbeat!

Lady Gaga My Wardrobe's More High Maintenance Than Me
It's no secret Lady Gaga is into over-the-top fashion ... but the singer's picky demands for her wardrobe when it's on the road will blow you away.
TMZ got hold of Gaga's hotel rider for her 'artRave' tour, and her clothes get better treatment than most people. For starters, her duds get their own suite.
Gaga's wardrobe room calls for the space to be "completely emptied of all furniture, beds, tables, desks ... anything not permanently attached to the walls or floor to be removed."
The room must be tricked out with 4 rolling wardrobe racks, accompanied by 30 hangers (with and without clips), an iron and board, a Jiffy clothing steamer and four 6-foot banquet tables covered in linen.
Hotel guests and employees who are offended by nudity ... too bad! Gaga's rider makes no bones about it ... "Please ensure the group is not asked to adhere to any dress code which your hotel might have."
Gaga and her clothes also get secret service-level protection. Her team sends security detail to the hotel to sweep it 2 days prior to her arrival.
We read the whole thing ... she does NOT require a meat locker ... so 2010.
