YG & Kehlani We're Dating!!! First Public Appearance
SEPTEMBER 2019
YG and Kehlani are ready to let the whole world know they're officially an item ... the new couple just made their first public appearance together.
The rapper and R&B singer were holding hands Thursday night as they strolled arm and arm into the Kith show at New York Fashion Week.
It's the first time we've seen YG and Kehlani together since rumors of their relationship started swirling ... and they told our guy they're definitely dating.
The timing is interesting ... because YG recently had another child with his baby mama, Catelyn Sparks, who gave birth to their second baby girl in July. Kehlani became a mother back in March, welcoming a baby girl into the world.
Kehlani's no stranger to getting in high profile relationships. The former "America's Got Talent" finalist used to date NBA superstar Kyrie Irving.
Congrats and good luck!!!

Ariana Grande Not Grateful for Forever 21 ... Sues Over Look-Alike Ad Campaign
-
Exclusive
- 4.4K shares
Ariana Grande said thank u, but no thank u to Forever 21 when they pitched her an endorsement deal, but the clothing store went and launched a ripoff Ariana ad campaign anyway ... according to a new suit.
The singer alleges Forever 21 and her team were in talks for a deal in December 2018 into January, but the company wouldn't pony up enough dough to use her name and likeness.
Instead, Forever 21 allegedly stole it from Grande for a campaign across their website and social media ... and also hired a look-alike model to make it seem even more like the real deal.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, F21 published at least 30 unauthorized images and videos misappropriating Ariana's name and likeness, and did so by piggybacking off of the huge success of her "Thank U, Next" album.
Grande claims the company stole imagery from her album to create a false perception Ariana was backing the Forever 21 brand. The suit alleges F21's look-alike model also reenacted scenes and shots from the album's singles and music videos ... specifically "7 Rings."
The store Riley Rose, which was launched by the daughters of Forever 21's founders, was also allegedly involved in the ripoff campaign.
Grande is suing for at least $10 MILLION in damages.

Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Love, Italian Style Don't Come Cheap!!! (Psst ... We Can Afford It)
Jeff Bezos isn't just about showing off his bod, he's also down to show off the fact he's the richest man in the world, and that means ... shopping spreeeeee!!!!!
The Amazon founder and his GF, Lauren Sanchez, are all over each other in Venice, and their romantic strolls, naturally, ended up at some primo shopping spots. Of course, what we call a spree is more like any Saturday at the mall ... when ya got $110 billion to blow.
The couple's looking stylish during a working vacay. They attended the Venice Film Festival a few days ago -- which might explain the more conservative attire. While Lauren wore a flowing white mini-sundress, Jeff's shirt was almost fully buttoned and tucked into belted shorts.
Nothing like his midriff baring look a few weeks ago in St. Tropez.
Lauren and Jeff have been chilling all week on the mega-yacht reportedly owned by Barry Diller and Diane Von Furstenberg.
Soooo ... we're saying there's still a chance Jeff busts out his abs and guns.

Jay-Z & NFL Launch Inspire Change Apparel ... Meek & Meghan Playing Kickoff Concert
9:52 AM PT -- Concepts for the Inspire Change apparel are still being developed ... according to sources familiar with the deal. We're told the line will be available to the public in October.
For Jay-Z, the best defense is a good offense -- he's wasting no time putting his controversial NFL partnership to work by launching a new apparel line to fund social change ... and enlisting his pal, Meek Mill.
The NFL and Jay's Roc Nation just announced a new Inspire Change apparel line and a music showcase called Songs of the Season. The music part of that deal will begin with Meek, Meghan Trainor and Rapsody performing at the NFL Kickoff Event in Chicago on Sept. 5.
Meek and Rapsody are Roc Nation clients, but Meghan is not ... which shows that despite facing a wave of criticism, Jay still has plenty of entertainers willing to support his NFL venture. All 3 artists are the first Inspire Change advocates.
The bigger part of the deal, though, is the apparel line -- because it seems to have Jay's fingerprint all over it. After successfully launching his Rocawear and Paper Planes (that Roc Nation logo you see everywhere) ... he knows there's big money in clothing and caps.
Roc Nation and the league say the revenue from Inspire Change apparel will fund Inspire Change programs across the U.S. -- with a focus on "economic empowerment, police and community relations, and criminal justice reform."
As you know, Jay-Z took a ton of heat after a meeting with Roger Goodell to announce their partnership. Many critics, including athletes and entertainers, felt like Jay was turning his back on Colin Kaepernick and the kneeling protest he started for social justice.
Coming just 2 weeks after that firestorm, the Inspire Change initiative plays like Jay's clap back to the haters.

The 64-year-old grandmother whom Kim Kardashian West helped free from prison is now the face of the launch campaign for Kim's SKIMS Solutionwear.
Alice Marie Johnson is making her on-camera debut, pushing Kim's new product ... and the theme is freedom. Alice talks about her experience in prison and how Kim went to war to get her out -- she calls KKW her "war angel."
Johnson says Kim's product is a metaphor for freedom ... it allows her to go to the store and pick up something she'd normally never wear, thanks to SKIMS.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Alice was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges ... her first offenses. Kim made headlines after meeting with President Trump, who then championed her cause and Alice was released shortly afterward.
The two developed a serious friendship ... and Alice has praised Kim's efforts ever since. This is a big moment for Kim ... she's found a way of merging her beauty brand with her social activism.
Alice's testimonial will kick off the SKIMS campaign, and we're told Kim's sisters Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie have also all shot for the brand.
Looks like they picked a winner. SKIMS will launch September 10.

Nas If I Ruled the World, This Damn Mic Would Work!!!
-
Exclusive
- 472 shares
1:21 PM PT -- Sources close to Nas tell us the rapper isn't pissed about the glitch ... we're told he's just happy it was resolved quickly. The pair have been on tour for quite some time now, and this is the first time it has happened.
Nas had the beat, the crowd and the stage, but one critical thing was missing -- at least for a good portion of his performance -- and still, he never skipped a beat.
The legendary rapper suffered a technical difficulty Wednesday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn during his performance with Mary J. Blige. The duo was performing her track, "Love Is All We Need" featuring Nas, who, BTW, was rocking a Louis Vuitton Monogram Admiral Jacket.
It's a pricey piece of leather ... a cool $6,550. Those pockets tho!!!
Anyway ... the music was poppin' and Mary was dancing. But, as Nas begins, there's an audible silence. For a good 30 seconds you can see Nas rapping but can't hear him. Finally, he's like, "what the hell?!"
Someone in the crowd even yelled about the dead mic. Just as Nas realized the issue, his sound finally came back to life.
He kept the beat flowing like a pro, but someone on the crew got a lotta 'splainin' to do!

Blac Chyna Like My Dress, Kylie? It's Just a Coincidence!!!
3:07 PM PT -- Chyna's stylist, Deno Just Deno, tells TMZ ... there was nothing malicious about her dress choice -- it was neither Kylie-inspired or directed at Kylie.
Deno says BC didn't decide to attend the VMAs until 3 days ago, so he picked up several dresses for her at the last minute and they both loved the pink, feathery getup. Deno tells us it was just a coincidence it was the same dress as Kylie's -- they didn't know she wore it because they don't follow her.
He adds he wasn't aware there was a hubbub about Chyna's wardrobe until he woke up today, and he doubts she's caught wind of it ... yet.
Blac Chyna might have ruffled a few feathers with her wardrobe choice at the MTV VMAs ... because Kylie Jenner just wore it a couple weeks ago.
Chyna opted for a hot pink feathered mini dress for the awards show Monday night, which would normally be no biggie ... except for the fact Kylie rocked the exact same dress during her 22nd birthday trip.
As you know ... Chyna and the Kardashian/Jenner crew don't get along too well. There's a lot of bad blood stemming from her soured relationship with Rob, sharing an ex with Kylie, and oh yeah ... Chyna's suing the entire family.
So, ya gotta think they won't be tickled pink with her attempt to one up Kylie in a duplicate strapless frock, which BTW ... goes for about $4,600 by Attico.
Still, we gotta ask ...

Yung Miami is making sure her City Girls counterpart JT gets some love when she leaves prison ... because JT's gonna score some custom diamond jewelry!!!
We're told Yung Miami plunked down some serious cash for JT in the form of a pendant and chain to match her own City Girls bling ... $52,000 to be exact.
We're told Yung Miami hit up Jewelry Unlimited about a month ago, and the bling took two weeks to fully craft. As you see, the pendant and chain sparkle with baguette and VS+ diamonds set in yellow gold.
The only difference from Yung Miami's matching bling ... hers is rose gold.
JT has been locked up at the Miami Federal Detention Center since June 2018, after turning herself in to authorities on fraud charges. We're told she's getting released in the next few weeks.
Gotta hand it to Yung Miami ... she knows how to welcome a girl back from the inside.

NBA hooper Kelly Oubre Jr. and smokin' hot Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jasmine Sanders are taking things to the next level ... hitting up a West Hollywood hot spot together and packin' on the PDA!!
There have been reports the 2 gorgeous humans have been dating recently ... and judging by these pics of them holding hands while leaving Bootsy Bellows, it's safe to say they don't care to keep things under wraps.
It's one of the hottest new couples as of late -- 23-year-old Oubre is one of the swaggiest athletes in all of sports ... and 28-year-old Sanders was voted SI's Rookie of the Year earlier this month.
No word on how they met, but considering the Phoenix Suns baller is big into fashion ... it seems like a perfect fit to get boo'd up with the model.
And, FWIW ... Oubre just signed a 2-year, $30 million deal a month ago ... so yeah, it's been a good off-season for the guy.

Billie Eilish Tarred & Feathered ... Music Vid From Hell!!!
Billie Eilish has a vision of what hell is really like ... tarring and feathering herself on the set of her upcoming music video ... and the images will stick with you!!!
The 17-year-old alt-pop singer got down and dirty filming the video for her track, "all the good girls go to hell" ... throwing on a huge set of feathery wings and completely covering herself in heavy black makeup that looks just like sludge.
The imagery is pretty powerful ... you see Billie slowly rising up from the ground, bogged down by the tar and feathers, as she sings for the cameras. At one point, she switches into a pure white look with some perfectly clean feathers for some serious angel vibes.
If you paid attention in history class, you might recall learning about tarring and feathering ... an old form of public humiliation used in feudal Europe, and even here in America.
But, history lessons are boring, so Billie's music video also has FIRE ... massive flickering FLAMES and a HUGE EXPLOSION!!!

Kylie Jenner Mystery 'Wedding Dress' Revealed ... On Bday Getaway
Kylie Jenner ruffled some feathers making people think she was getting married on her birthday trip -- but now, the cat dress is out of the bag ... and it's clear there's no wedding.
The mystery "wedding dress" that was seen being loaded onto Kylie's jet last week made its full debut Saturday on Kylie's Instagram story, where she revealed it was merely a birthday outfit (her 10th so far, apparently). It's a flowing, feathery white gown, nothing more.
Kylie filmed herself getting done up in the dress, and then posted another clip of her running down a hallway in it -- seems like she can move that thing!!!
On the way up to the upper deck of her multi-million dollar yacht, she showed off the garment in all its glory. It's easy to see why some folks thought it actually was a wedding dress -- it's got a train, and looks a lot like something a bride might wear.
As we first told you ... Kylie ain't getting hitched on this trip -- despite the possibly well-planted red herring. Two of her older sisters -- Kim and Khloe -- aren't expected to attend ... and it was suggested to us they wouldn't miss Kylie and Travis' nuptials.
Kris Jenner is there though, as are a bunch of Kylie's closest pals ... plus Travis Scott and baby Stormi too, of course. They're all partying and making the most of Kylie's $250 million rental.
As for the mystery "wedding dress," a classic case of mistaken embroidery. Carry on with the Tranquility!!!

Kylie Jenner She Pasta Time Shopping ... Before Boarding Mega-Yacht!!
Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott and the rest of the brood arrived on Italian soil, but before they traded land for sea, they did what every self-respecting tourist does in Italia ... they shopped.
Kylie and Co. arrived in Positano ... where they joined Scott Disick and Sofia Richie, Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble and Kylie's friends just days ahead of her 22nd birthday.
The group beelined it for a couple stores before boarding a tender that chugged its way to their floating palace ... the $250 million mega-yacht, "Tranquility."
TMZ broke the story ... Kylie & Co. boarded a private jet Tuesday filled with family and close friends to begin her big bday celebration. It's gonna be extravagant ... with a little help from the 29-person crew.
TMZ broke the story ... Kylie boarded the private jet with the train of what looks like a wedding dress poking out of the garment bag as it was dragged along the tarmac. It could have been fully covered up, but we're guessing it may have been a gag ... which Kylie often pulls. We're told they're not getting hitched on the trip.
Arriverderci!!!
