Team USA's Heather O'Reilly Adidas Hooked Up Yeezys ... For Free!
Memba when we told you Team USA soccer star Heather O'Reilly was rockin' a pair of Yeezys when she got off the team jet at LAX? Turns out she got 'em for free .. courtesy of Adidas.
O'Reilly was leaving the victory rally at L.A. Live today when she told us the super-exclusive (and expensive) kicks were gifted to her. Teammate Becky Sauerbrunn also had a pair -- we're guessing they were also free.
It's a pretty brilliant move by Adidas ... which got some major sneaker exposure while every single member of Team USA was rockin' championship shirts made by Nike.

Women's World Cup To the Winners ... Go the Yeezys!
Nothing goes better with a brand new World Cup ... than a slick new pair of YEEZYS ... just ask the ladies from Team USA.
Christie Rampone got off the team jet with the trophy in her hands ... and the new ultra-exclusive Yeezy Boost sneakers on her feet. Teammates Heather O'Reilly and Becky Sauerbrunn also had the shoes.
The kicks are still super hard to get ... and selling for hundreds of dollars (some in the thousands) in the secondary market.
No word if the champs bought 'em themselves or got 'em as a congratulatory gift -- but either way, they look good.
Congrats!

Donald Trump Blasts Macy's for Backing 'Illegals' After Clothing Line Yanked
Donald Trump's clothing line has been hung out to dry by Macy's -- but he's firing back at the company for caving to pressure, and claiming it backs illegal immigration.
Macy's made it short and sweet, saying it doesn't "believe the disparaging characterizations portray an accurate picture of the many Mexicans, Mexican Americans and Latinos who have made so many valuable contributions to the success of our nation."
Trump immediately blasted his former biz partners -- saying Macy's and NBC dropped him at the first sign of trouble ... and he sees that as a sign they "support illegal immigration, which is totally detrimental to the fabric of our once great country."
Trump added one financial dig ... that his Macy's deal was a "small business" worth much less than his principles.
He was heavily involved with Macy's since his line was launched in 2004, even appearing in commercials.

Kim Kardashian Meet My TWINS
Kim Kardashian touched down in New York City flaunting the must-have maternity accessory of the season -- all seasons, really -- enormous boobs.
Although she doesn't typically sport the same style twice, we've seen this look on Kim before -- in 2013, when she was pregnant with North.
Kim is apparently going through morning sickness, tweeting Tuesday morning, "Wait wait wait I thought this nausea thing was supposed to be gone by now!!!! UGHHHHHH"
KK isn't due until some time in December. As a famous fisherman once said, "We're gonna need a bigger bra."

Our resident Jersey Shore fashion expert (Babcock) says it looks like someone fired paintballs at the shirt and it sucks.
Our resident hipster fashion expert (Brian McDaniel) says it looks like something a millennial would wear. So pretty much it sucks.
But we can all agree on one thing -- he probably paid A LOT of money for it.

Madonna's Son Fast Times For Rocco Ritchie
Surf's up for Rocco Ritchie ... Madonna's son has found his spirit animal, and it looks like it's Jeff Spicoli from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
Rocco was out in London with his dapper pop Guy Ritchie Thursday night, and the 14-year-old was rocking some long blond locks. Looks like he's been letting it grow since last summer ... when he was hanging with older sis Lourdes in the South of France.
We'd say like father like son, but this pic proves otherwise.
All Rocco needs are some tasty waves, a cool buzz ...and he'll be fine.

E.J. Johnson I'm a Knee High Kind Of Guy
The only thing E.J. Johnson wants for his birthday is for everyone to recognize his fierce, new physique and his black on black fashion sense.
E.J. finished up his birthday lunch at The Ivy on Thursday with a fab stroll in leather shorts and a gold encrusted Mo$chino sweater. The "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills" star is totally slayin' it after dropping more than 100 pounds -- but still taking full advantage of black's slimming nature.
Remember ... E.J. inherited some of Magic's height, so at 6’2” -- you can't pick up this kinda couture at your local Big & Tall.
