Leslie Jones REALLY likes Dwyane Wade -- or maybe she's just an undercover sneakerhead??

Probably both -- 'cause check out the 'SNL' star fangirling out like a teeny bopper at a Britney concert when D-Wade hooks her up with his game-worn shoes ... after his Cavs took the Knicks' souls Monday night at MSG.

Wade gets down on a knee for the proposal ... and Leslie LOSES IT.

"It's my shoooeees! I get my shoooeees!"

"Will you accept my shoes?"

"YES!"

FYI, Leslie gave away 1 of Wade's Li-Ning kicks -- but NO WAY she was saying bye to both.

Kim Kardashian's frightening experience of being robbed at gunpoint in Paris last year has a silver lining ... it inspired the bottle design of her brand new fragrance.

Kim's launching her highly anticipated line of perfumes Wednesday, and says the crystal look of the bottle is a shout-out to friends who helped her recover from the terrifying Paris ordeal by bringing her healing crystals.

She tells WWD her line of fragrances is about "being calm and healing" ... which Kim says has been her main focus the past year.

Kim's officially launching 3 variations of her fragrance -- Crystal Gardenia, Crystal Gardenia Citrus and Crystal Gardenia Oud -- and only 300k units will be sold ... once they're gone, they're gone.

We're told if Kim's fragrance sells like her makeup line ... it could haul in more than $14 million in minutes.

A former Banana Republic employee says the company is racist because her bosses complained about her "urban" hairstyle.

Destiny Tompkins says she was hired as a sales rep at the BR in White Plains, NY -- and shortly after starting the job, the 19-year-old says she began wearing her hair in braids. According to a discrimination suit, that pissed off her managers.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, she says the store manager, who is white, approached her and told her that her braids were "too urban" and "unkempt" and didn't go with BR's image. Destiny interpreted that as "too black."

Destiny says she refused to change her hairstyle, and was taken off the store's work schedule. While she wasn't officially fired, she effectively was because she didn't get any shifts.

After she vented on Facebook ... Destiny says BR honchos fired the store manager.

Destiny's suing BR's corporate office, as well as the store and regional managers, for at least $1 million.

LiAngelo Ball has got 2 powerful forces trying to secure his release from China ... UCLA and Alibaba founder Jack Ma ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Ball and 2 other UCLA basketball players are currently under house arrest after allegedly stealing sunglasses at Louis Vuitton.

Our UCLA sources tell us, the University has deep ties with China for various reasons, and school officials are using their influence to try and secure the release of the 3 players. As for the nature of the influence ... UCLA is a prize school for Chinese students, many doctors have won research projects at the various UCLA medical facilities and UCLA sports has become popular in China.

We're also told Jack Ma -- a Chinese citizen worth an estimated $40 billion -- is also working to help free the 3 players. FYI, the team visited Alibaba headquarters Monday ... the day before the arrests.

Our UCLA sources also say there is no question the players pilfered the sunglasses so there's no attempt to prove them not guilty ... they are trying to use their considerable influence to ask for mercy. As once source put it, "UCLA and Ma are pulling out all the political stops to resolve this."

Beyonce and Pharrell are a bunch of overachievers ... the items they donated for a charity auction fetched 19 TIMES MORE than anticipated.

TMZ broke the story ... Bey and P. Willy donated items auctioned off at Heritage Auctions to help raise money for The Lung Transplant Project... a non-profit that raises money and awareness to reduce transplant waiting list times.

Beyonce's "Formation" tour hat was supposed to bring between 1 and 2 G's ... but after Monday's auction closed it brought in a whopping $27,500!!!

Pharrell donated two pairs of adidas Originals ... the first pair featured the hit-making producers' John Hancock and an inspiring message, while the second pair will be custom-made for the winning bidder.

The kicks -- which were estimated to haul in about a G -- sold for $11,375. Score!!!

If you don't think 'Star Wars' and fashion go hand-in-hand, step back and watch Disney's marketing geniuses go to work ... with the likes of Kendall Jenner and the Hadid sisters!

Kendall, Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber all dropped into a galaxy far, far away for a spread in the November issue of Harper's Bazaar.

It's actually pretty cool -- Harper's Bazaar hooked up with longtime 'Star Wars' illustrator Brian Rood for the feature. Rood turned a Millennium Falcon landing port into a catwalk for the Hadids, and had Kaia strike back on the planet Hoth.

Kendall's lightsaber shot seems like an homage to Rey and R2-D2.

Expect 'Star Wars' promotions to keep coming at lightspeed for the next 6 weeks.

Michael Irvin says fans worried about Steve Smith beating his ass can chill -- 'cause Steve ain't actually pissed about Mike ROASTING his plaid pants on "Thursday Night Football."

"Steve's fine, man. Steve's my guy. He was just having fun," Mike told TMZ Sports.

FYI, a straight-faced Smith said he was gonna bust up Irvin the next time they cross paths ... but Mike claims they were just putting on a show for the cameras.

It's been a pretty compelling story on social media -- especially after Irvin made a personal video for Steve asking for forgiveness.

Bonus: Irvin dropped some big news on his son, Michael Irvin Jr., who was suspended from the University of Miami's football team last month.

Kate Hudson's online retailer just cleared one of its legal headaches by settling its lawsuit against her.

Talitha Peters -- a former exec at Fabletics -- filed new legal docs obtained by TMZ to have her lawsuit against the retailer thrown out after striking a settlement for an undisclosed amount.

Kate is an owner of Fabletics.

As we reported ... Peters sued Fabletics and parent company JustFab last October claiming Fabletics gave her the ax because she went to rehab to treat her Ambien addiction.

Peters said the retailer was all good with her taking time off at first, but then stuck their nose in her biz and 86'd her the day she was supposed to return.

Case closed.

Beyonce was Lil' Kim for Halloween but she didn't just have one costume in her closet ... she had 5!

Bey shared the looks on her Instagram Friday, a few days post-Halloween, and it's impressive.

There's 1997 Lil' Kim in a fluorescent fur from her "No Way Out" tour, and Lil' Kim's signature blue Chanel wig from her Manhattan File Magazine cover, plus the costume Bey was pictured in at a Halloween party where she went as Kim from Missy Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" video.

Noticeably missing, though, was Lil' Kim's 1999 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet look, but the admiration is real.

You might not recognize him without his hat and gloves ... but you're looking at WWE legend The Undertaker ... proudly putting his conservative views on display in Texas.

52-year-old Mark Calaway was spotted leaving a Best Buy on Thursday -- rocking an "American Gun" shirt which features the American flag in the shape of an assault rifle.

The shirt is made by a company called Centurion -- which touts itself as a "USMC Veteran owned and operated business dedicated to promoting traditional conservative values."

Taker isn't the only WWE superstar with a conservative alter ego -- his old wrestling pal, Kane (real name Glenn Jacobs), is running for County Mayor in Tennessee as a Republican.

How do you celebrate Halloween when you're hot, rich and insanely fit??

You suit up (or strip down) with a baller costume -- kinda like women's tennis star Genie Bouchard, whose Bae-watch look gave us prime Pam Anderson flashbacks.

Tons of other sports stars showed out too, including Steph Curry, Danica Patrick, Giancarlo Stanton, and Floyd Mayweather -- who had a trifecta of get-ups for his hallo-weekend parties.

Who wins the costume contest?

We do. Kick back with some candy and enjoy the pics.

Nothing scary about these pooches in their Halloween costumes ... they're all doggone adorable!

The Haute Dog Howl'oween Parade went down Sunday in Long Beach with canines turning up in some creative costumes which upstaged their two-legged owners.

There was everything from a Paw-casso to a Pee-wee Herman. And while Trump was a popular costume last year, Pennywise from "It" dominated this year with the canines.

Special shout-out to the dog and his paw-rents who recreated "The Shining."

A Sephora cosmetics store in Hollywood cared more about peddling lipstick than the oral health of customers, and now a woman is stuck with a lifelong disease ... according to a new suit.

A California woman claims she visited the store in October 2015 and sampled a lipstick from one of the "common use" tubes on display ... and ended up with herpes on her lip. She says the infection was diagnosed by medical pros and she claims she never had herpes or cold sores before this Sephora visit.

According to the docs ... Sephora failed to clearly warn the woman and other customers of the risk of getting herpes or other diseases from trying on the lipstick samples. She says if she would have known ... she would've avoided them like the plague.

The woman claims other lipstick companies have proven methods of avoiding herpes exposure -- like individual samples or assistance from trained professionals -- but Sephora cared too much about making a quick buck to bother.

She's suing the cosmetics chain for the emotional distress over an "incurable lifelong affliction" she says she now has to deal with as a result of using its lipstick samples.

Kourtney Kardashian's launch party for her collection at PrettyLittleThing was a who's who of Hollywood -- except for one of "America's Next Top Models" ... who had security saying "who?".

A flock of A-listers arrived to Poppy in WeHo Wednesday night to support Kourt's launch of her PrettyLittleThing collection, and there were lots of familiar faces -- Diddy, Wiz, Christina Milian ... you name it.

No one was down to chat a whole lot -- not even about George H.W. Bush's alleged groping -- except for Don Benjamin ... who says he got the boot from security at the entrance.

Don tells us he apparently wasn't famous enough to attend, even though he got invited. That's too bad ... looks like it was lit inside with Diddy taking the mic.

Cate Blanchett took a not-so-subtle jab at Harvey Weinstein and other sexual harassers by pointing out women who wear sexy clothes don't necessarily want to have sex -- but in much fewer words.

Cate was speaking at the InStyle Awards Monday night in L.A., and although she never said Weinstein's name -- the message was clear when she started talking about women's fashion choices.

Cindy Crawford, Selena Gomez, Zendaya and Brie Larson were all in the crowd when Cate unloaded with her awesomely blunt declaration: don't assume we're dressing up for you, and, most importantly, don't touch!

"Project Runway" finalist Mychael Knight was still hard at work one month before his death, but an intestinal disorder was already taking a visible toll on his body.

TMZ obtained a video of Mychael at what's believed to be the last fashion show he attended ... on September 8 in NYC. While the beloved designer was posing with models ... irritable bowel syndrome left him looking incredibly fragile.

As we reported ... the season 3 sensation died Tuesday morning in a Georgia hospital where he'd been getting treatment for IBS ... which he said was destroying his immune system.

He was 39.
