It was apparently "Trademark Day" on Valentine's Day for 2 big stars in Hollywood ... 'cause Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber put love aside and got down to business.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Kylie filed to trademark "Kylie Body" and "Kylie Body by Kylie Jenner" and the hope's to slap those names on tons of products including hair and beauty products, creams and perfumes.
This, of course, is nothing new with Kylie. She's filed docs to register trademarks for just about everything under the sun ... including her famous wake-up call "Rise and Shine." Her expanding empire also includes "Kylie Baby" and "Kylie Hair."
As for Hailey ... docs show she's looking to register the trademark "HB Beauty by Hailey Bieber." Seems she's ripping a page out of Kylie's playbook cause she wants to slap those names on beauty and wellness products.
She's no stranger to the trademark game. She filed docs back in October 2018 to lock down her own name, Hailey Bieber, which she wants to use on a possible clothing project.
Proving yet again, the heart wants what the heart wants ... money.

Steve Madden Loses it on Fashion CEO ... 'You Can Go F*** Yourself!!!'
Steve Madden unleashed a profanity-laced tirade on the founder of a clothing company who's accused him of stealing her design ... after accusing her of being rude to him.
Alice + Olivia CEO and creative director Stacey Bendet posted her tense exchange Monday with Madden, saying the famed shoe god launched "a verbal assault on me in a hotel lobby."
She called it an "example of bullying, copying, and overall disrespect toward creativity and women," and claims Madden lost his temper after she called him out for allegedly copying her trademarked designs.
In the vid, Madden's heard telling Bendet ... "Honey, if you're going to be rude, you can go f*** yourself." He repeats it after she says he once told her if she's not copying people she's not doing a good job ... and then he accuses her of copying people.
Bendet and Madden have history -- her company sued one of his companies, Betsey Johnson, back in 2018 for allegedly ripping off Alice + Olivia's "StaceFace" design, which consists of a stylized woman's face featuring large black framed sunglasses appearing above red lips.
Madden's company was accused of using a face design similar to Bendet's StaceFace on its products, and it appears the 2 sides reached a confidential settlement in June 2019.
Clearly, Bendet's not over it ... and neither is Madden. Making his outburst even worse -- Bendet says her 4-year-old daughter was present and can be heard yelling in the background.
Most of the comments on Stacey's post admonish Madden's behavior, including one by actress Michelle Trachtenberg, who wrote ... "He is just appalling !! Good for you for showing that evil vile excuse for a man."

Damon Dash My Ex is a Fraud!!! Sues Rachel Roy for Cut of Fashion Biz

Damon Dash says his ex-wife, Rachel Roy, has been hiding stacks of cash that are rightfully his -- the fruits of her fashion company's labors -- so he's suing her for fraud.
Dame is pissed off about the Rachel Roy Brands of clothes -- which include several lines Rachel sells in Bloomingdales and similar department stores. In his suit, he says the company is FLUSH ... earning profits in the millions each year. His issue is his cut of that pie.
According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Dame claims Rachel conspired with several other companies involved in keeping RRB afloat ... to hide the amount of money that was due to go in Dame's pockets.
He's pretty colorful and complete with his allegations, claiming they "manipulated, diverted, misappropriated, transferred, concealed and embezzled funds."
Rachel and co. allegedly submitted fraudulent accounting, withheld payments, and undervalued Damon's share of RRB. Dame says he was an original member of Rachel's company when she formed it in 2008 -- they were still married then -- and as such he's entitled to royalties.
Far as Dame can tell, the alleged shell game with his money started in 2014 when a royalty payment of $175,000 was withheld. He claims that happened again in 2015 with a $200,000 check.
In the suit, Damon says he had a verbal agreement with Rachel that she would re-purchase his interest in RRB for $1 million -- but she reneged with no explanation.
He's not only suing Rachel, her companies and more than a handful of others -- accountants, lawyers and such -- he claims conspired against him.
As for how much? Dame says they need to open up the books, so he can see exactly what he's owed.

11:34 AM PT -- 2/14 -- Mya told us she'd reveal her wedding partner on Valentine's Day ... turns out it was herself! She just dropped a music video for "The Truth" where she plays the bride x2.
Mya's been holding a big secret for months ... we've learned she said "I Do" in a super-secret wedding down in Seychelles.
Sources close to the singer tell TMZ ... Mya walked down the aisle back in December in a very intimate ceremony on the island nation off the African coast. We obtained these pics of her on the beach in her gown ... looking absolutely stunning.
If the wedding seems like a shock to you, it is to us too. It's unclear who Mya's spouse is -- and she hasn't publicly dated anyone in years.
In the past, she's been linked to NFL stars DeSean Jackson and Larry Johnson, plus rappers Jay-Z and The Game. So, her partner's got big shoes to fill.
This was Mya's first walk down the aisle. As for the 40-year-old singer's mystery ball and chain? We've got a call in to her people.
We know this ... they had killer weather! Always a toss-up with beach weddings.
Congrats!!!

Jessica Simpson Making Amends Fur Her Past??? This Coat's FAUX, Y'all!!!
Jessica Simpson's sending a message to the angry anti-fur protesters who've been crashing events on her book tour -- faux fur's just fine with her.
In a possible attempt to get in the good graces of the animal rights activists who've been calling her out for wearing fur, the "Open Book" author shared a series of pics of herself rocking a Stella McCartney belted, vegetarian leather and faux fur coat.
Of course, it's also possible the protesters had an impact on Jessica. The faux-fur move comes after we broke news extra security measures are being put in place at upcoming stops on her book tour to keep protesters at bay.
As we reported, Simpson was accosted at a book signing and outside a restaurant in NYC last week, and earlier this week at an L.A. book signing.
Jessica doesn't address wearing fake fur explicitly in her posts, but says ... "I pray every day that I can use my platform for good. I promise to continue to be open and to lead with my mistakes."
Sounds like she's suggesting she's heard the animal abuse accusations from the protesters about her history of wearing fur, and instead of laughing it off ... she's learning from her mistakes. Or, maybe she just likes Stella's design.

Miley Cyrus Can't Be Tamed!!! at New York Fashion Week
Miley Cyrus damn near brought New York Fashion Week to a halt with a surprise runway appearance ... thanks to a super-hot ensemble.
Miley closed out Marc Jacobs' fall/winter 2020 runway show Wednesday night in NYC ... much to everyone's delight. The crowd had no idea she'd be making an appearance ... strutting her stuff in a black bra-top and pants. She also wore long, black leather gloves ... not that anyone needed reminding who's in charge.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Naomi Campbell thought the performance was fire based on the comment she left on Miley's Instagram post. Hailey Baldwin summed it up with three words .. "YUP. STOMP QUEEN."
That Miley got the honor to close out the show should come as no surprise. She's known Marc Jacobs since she was 16, starred in his 2014 spring/summer show and collaborated with him last year for a special hoodie.
Taking New York by storm's one helluva way to countdown the days before she's officially single. As we first reported ... Miley and Liam Hemsworth's divorce becomes official on February 22.
Cue the band Europe!!!

Jessica Simpson Laughs Off Animal Rights Protesters ... Her New Normal

Jessica Simpson was confronted by animal rights protesters who crashed her book signing Monday night -- and she came off as pretty patronizing.
The singer was on stage with Katherine Schwarzenegger at the Aratani Theatre in L.A., where she was talking about her new memoir, "Open Book," when a swarm of PETA peeps jumped up from out in the crowd with signs and chants against wearing fur.
It looks like they were escorted out by security, but check out the way JS responded to all the noise ... she says it's beautiful they stand up for what they believe in, but does so in a sarcastic tone. It comes off as pretty condescending.
Jessica actually tells Katherine she's used to this by now, and she's absolutely right. We know of at least two other anti-fur confrontations she's had as of late ... on the same day.
There was a large protest at a Barnes & Noble in NYC where Jessica was doing a book signing, and later as she was leaving a restaurant -- confronted yet again. She never engaged with them about a week ago when this all went down -- but now, she is.
Jessica's known for having worn fur in the past -- it's unclear if she still does, or what the anti-fur folks seek to gain at this point. If it's awareness, they're winning there.

Spike Lee's instant-classic Oscars suit paying tribute to Kobe Bryant is going to the Hall of Fame ... the Spike Lee Hall, that is.
The famous director was at LAX Monday -- heading back to his beloved NYC, we're presuming -- when we asked him about the night's most talked-about fashion statement.
Spike tells us his purple and gold homage, complete with #24 embroidered across the lapels and on the back, will be framed and hung up at his NY crib. In fact, he says it was shipped back ahead of him ... it's Gucci, after all.
Not a big shocker Spike decided to honor Kobe at the 92nd Academy Awards. The NBA superfan posted several tributes to hoops superstar following the tragic helicopter crash.
Spike and Kobe go way back -- he directed the 2009 documentary "Kobe Doin' Work" -- but it's clear he's not quite ready to talk about making another film about Bryant.
Maybe when the time is right ... like Ron Howard said.

Kim Kardashian is now in a Nordstrom near you -- or at least her SKIMS representatives are, and by that we mean living, breathing mannequins ... sometimes known as models.
The reality TV beauty mogul made a splash Wednesday in NYC, where she rolled out her SKIMS shapewear line in the Midtown Nordstrom store. Her hubby, Kanye West, came to support the launch as well. Kim came armed with a gaggle of models, flaunting a broad range of options and body types.
No one can complain about a lack of diversity -- the human mannequins came in all shapes and sizes ...which is kinda the whole point of Kim's product.
Looks like another Midas touch for the Kardashians ... we're told there was a line out the door for the Nordstrom launch ... with some folks waiting since as early as 2 AM. The first 50 in line got a meet-and-greet with Kim.
Kim didn't just wave and dash, though. She actually stuck around for quite a while and even got behind the register for some purchases, proudly ringing up customers.
Skim (hehe) through the gallery to check out the scene. Lots of model citizens here.

2:09 PM PT -- Kansas City cops say 5 people in total were arrested at the parade ... including 2 in that wild police chase early Wednesday morning.
Cops say 2 of the other 3 arrests included a man riding a horse ... and a "belligerent guy who fell out of a tree."
12:31 PM PT -- Kelce just gave addressed the fans with a speech that would make the Macho Man Randy Savage blush ... going all-out in an epic rant at the Chiefs' rally following the parade.
Kelce -- who was spotted downing beer after beer throughout the festivities -- kept it together and PG-13 (for the most part) ... only letting a few f-bombs fly during the speech.
The fans loved every second of it ... and the whole thing was reminiscent of Travis' bro, Jason, who went OFF when the Eagles won the Super Bowl a few years back. Remember "hungry dogs run faster?"
Travis ended his speech with one Beastie Boys-approved message -- "YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY!!!!"
11:33 AM PT -- Aaaaaaaaand, there goes Kelce's super badass Louis V coat ... the thing just got destroyed when Patrick Mahomes made a beer waterfall mid-parade ... and Trav tried to catch it all in his mouth.

Awesome moment for everyone EXCEPT the coat, which got drenched in brew.
Pour some more out for the coat. RIP.
It's currently 26 degrees in Kansas City, MO for the Chiefs Super Bowl parade ... and Travis Kelce is staying warm in 2 ways -- a beer blanket and a $20,000 Louis Vuitton coat!!!
Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and the boys are braving the cold to celebrate their big win over the 49ers ... and we're expecting a BUNCH of drunken debaucheries. Hey, they earned it!
Kelce and his stunning GF, Kayla Nicole, got the party started early ... with their group belting out Queen's "We Are The Champions" at the top of their lungs while Trav downed a Budweiser.
But, it wasn't the screeching rendition of the song that caught our attention, it was Kelce's threads -- which, after doing some research, are even more eye-popping.
According to the Louis V website, Killa Trav's coat is worth almost a whopping $20k, with an $18,600 price tag.
Other Chiefs players are already poppin' bottles of Ace of Spades and spraying the crowd!!
Mahomes is already joining Kelce in the beer chuggin' ... doing his best Gronk impression as the parade rolls on.
2/5/20
Among others on Kelce's float are Patrick and his biggest supporter, GF Brittany Matthews ... and we'll be sure to update the post with as much of that great content that's bound to happen.
We can already hear the screaming.

Mario doesn't look like he's aged much at all ... and he's still got those famous A.C. jock vibes. Elizabeth's keeping it business casual as Jessie ... the former students are reportedly playing roles as parents in the reboot.
Bayside High School is where it's all going down once again.
