Kanye West has lost his appeal with a lot of people and companies ... but that doesn't mean he's stopped creating, as evidenced in a recent trademark filing.

Ye's Mascotte Holdings Inc. recently filed for "YZY SOCK SHOES." The documents, obtained by TMZ, were submitted May 4 -- and while there's not a whole lot of detail -- there is an identification that reads, "Socks; socks with leather soles."

Of course, Kanye's no stranger to shoe design ... and he was actually spotted wearing what appeared to be a sock shoe-type design back in 2019, so it's possible he's bringing the product to the masses.

As for a retail partner, that's where Ye might have some troubles ... as you know, Adidas cut ties with him after his countless attacks on Jewish people and his praise of Hitler.

He could always sell through his Yeezy brand, but it's currently unknown what sort of infrastructure still remains behind the scenes of the company.

Johnny Depp is being paid a record amount to be the face of Dior's Sauvage men's scent.

The actor's three-year deal with Dior is worth north of $20 million ... according to Variety. It's the most lucrative men's fragrance deal of all time.

TMZ broke the story ... Johnny signed back on with Dior in August, following his big-time legal win over Amber Heard. At the time, we were told Johnny and Dior agreed to a multiyear deal worth at least 7 figures ... and now there's more clarity on the contract details.

With his $20 million deal, Johnny overtakes Robert Pattinson as the highest-paid spokesman for a cologne. Robert set the mark in 2012, when he signed a 3-year, $12 million deal to promote Dior Homme.

Johnny's nearly tripling the amount Chanel paid Brad Pitt to be the first ever men's face behind Chanel N°5 perfume, Brad reportedly signed for $7 million in 2012 for a series of ads.

As we first reported ... Johnny's new deal with Dior was cemented last summer after famous fashion photog Greg Williams and honchos from the French fashion and cosmetics giant attended one of Johnny and Jeff Beck's rock concerts in Paris.

We were told Johnny did a photo shoot with Greg before and after the Paris show, and the content will be used in JD's new Dior ad campaign.

Johnny's got a long history with Dior ... he first signed with the company in 2015 as the face of the scent.

Beyoncé's highly-anticipated "Renaissance" world tour is officially off and running, and the first stop in Sweden is packed with a ton of surprises!!!

Her big debut show is going down at Stockholm’s Friends Arena, and fans are buzzing with excitement -- even those who aren't there -- as it is the first time Beyoncé's been on tour in the last 4.5 years.

The early review is well-worth all the hype -- Bey opened the concert singing her throwback hit "Dangerously in Love".

She went on to perform songs from last year's "Renaissance" album, which she dedicated to her Uncle Johnny ... bringing out several well-known vogue-style dancers, including Honey Balenciaga. The performance included several nods to the LGBTQ+ community.

As you know, Beyoncé released 'Renaissance' -- her 7th no. 1 album -- back in July. And, it earned a Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album.

During the show, Bey also brought back the Les Twins, who she worked with a lot in the past and who became known as her onstage dancing twins. They appeared in her Homecoming Coachella documentary. And, she wouldn't be Queen B without many different wardrobe changes and props, which she had plenty of!

Kanye West's political team members are dropping off one by one after Milo Yiannopoulos took over as his political director ... who tells us they're "cleaning house."

TMZ's obtained a letter filed to the Federal Election Commission, from Kanye's 2020 campaign committee treasurer, Patrick Krason, saying he resigned Monday morning. For context, Ye hasn't officially said he's running for prez in 2024, so it seems "Kanye 2020" is still being used as the name of his political action committee.

Krason says he notified higher-ups of his resignation, and "they have been made aware of the requirement to name a new treasurer within 10 days." He also says he made the rest of the team aware they can't raise or spend any funds until they find a new treasurer.

The move seems like it may relate to the bigger picture ... Kanye's political director Milo Yiannopoulos tells TMZ they are, "Cleaning house and professionalizing Ye's political team."

As we reported, Kanye re-hired Milo last week, and he instantly gave the boot to the rapper's right-hand man, Nick Fuentes, and Ali Alexander, one of Ye's political advisors.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were on the same Formula One turf this weekend -- and seeing how they didn't cross paths ... it would seem Miami's big enough for the two of them.

The mega-billionaires paid a visit Saturday to the 2023 Formula One Miami Grand Prix at the Miami International Autodrome ... where they visited different garages and took in the sights -- separate from one another -- for the final practice laps ahead of the main event Sunday.

Jeff and Lauren Sanchez hit up the McLaren pit wall... and looked very much like the power couple they often seem to be. The pair was hand in hand and rocking orange lanyards.

Elon, meanwhile, also brought along some company for his trip to Red Bull squad's station ... looks like his young son, X, was the special guest of honor -- and could be seen hanging on tight to his pops while getting an up-close view of the race cars and drivers. Lucky kid.

Now, as far as 'fits go ... you might argue Jeff was looking a little more stylish than his Tesla counterpart -- who was wearing a straight-up dad hat, sans any other accessories.

It's just one more sleep until King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla's coronation ... and royal superfans waiting patiently for the big day are getting campy as the royal fam goes through its final rehearsal.

Charles, Camilla, and Prince William were back at Westminster Abbey Friday -- while the folks looking forward to Saturday's ceremony have already started to camp out ... and it's clear a little rain won't stop them!

There are some unique costumes in the mix -- from one dude puttin' the British flag everywhere to another rockin' a shiny jacket with Charles and Camilla's mugs on it!

Another royal subject shut out the rain with a Union Jack-themed poncho!

And it ain't just the UK showing up in support -- First Lady Jill Biden also arrived in London Friday ahead of tomorrow's festivities.

As we reported, William, Kate Middleton, and their kiddos have been driving to and from Westminster all week for rehearsals. Harry hasn't been seen yet, but he's likely there by now, with less than 24 hours before his father's big day.

And, here's a quick reminder the ascending monarch wasn't always 74. Get it, King!!!

John Legend is firing back at Megyn Kelly for going after his wife, Chrissy Teigen ... he says Megyn is desperate to get conservatives back on her side.

We got John at MÍRAME in Beverly Hills Thursday, and asked him about Megyn's negative reaction to Chrissy's outfit for the White House Correspondents Dinner ... and the singer didn't hold back.

John says Megyn's critique is a gross attempt for attention, which he says she needs now that she's no longer working for FOX.

What's more, John thinks Megyn is going after Chrissy in an attempt to win back Donald Trump supporters.

ICYMI ... Megyn ripped Chrissy's dress, labeling Teigen "elitist" for having "minions" and "serfs" holding the train of her dress. Megyn also chided Chrissy for exposing her underwear with a sheer fabric gown.

John says Megyn sounds desperate and should just shut up ... and he defends his wife as being kind, loving and down to Earth.

While John admits it's not normal to have people carrying someone's dress train down the street, he says it's just part of the deal when Chrissy goes to a big event.

Kanye West is full steam ahead on his presidential campaign, bringing his former collaborator Milo Yiannopoulos back into the mix, and their first order of business ... firing Ye's controversial right-hand man, Nick Fuentes.

TMZ obtained emails sent from Milo -- now officially YE2024's Director of Political Operations -- to Nick, and in one he says, "Your services on Ye’s exploratory team are terminated ... and will not be required for any possible future campaign."

You'll recall, Nick is the white nationalist who accompanied West during his trip to see Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago last fall.

Milo also fired off an exit email to Ali Alexander, another one of Ye's political advisors, who was recently forced to apologize after being accused of asking teenage boys for sexual pictures.

We reached out to Milo, and he confirmed the details in the e-mails. He also says he's been in L.A. for the past week, talking to Ye about his presidential aspirations.

You'll recall, Milo was reportedly removed from the campaign team last year after Ye's controversial interview with Alex Jones ... and he reportedly blamed Nick and Ali for his firing.

Now that Milo's back in the saddle, it would seem his next mission is finding out just how serious Ye is about running for the White House -- and, after that, addressing the antisemitism West spewed for months.

A$AP Rocky is apologizing to the woman he leaned heavily on, for just a moment, so he could cut through a huge NYC crowd and get to the Met Gala.

The wild scene went down Monday evening outside NYC's Carlyle Hotel where Rocky pushed through a flood of fans and autograph seekers who didn't recognize the Harlem rap star at first ... until he leaped over the barrier.

But, in order to make it over, he used a woman's shoulder to get a boost.

She was later identified as Long Island native Madelyn Llanes and in an interview she admitted to initially refusing Rocky's request for passage because she was standing at the barricade, which was the end of the road as far as she was concerned.

Obviously, Rocky found a detour and the rest of the story is unforgettable fan history for her!!!

As we previously reported, Rocky and Rihanna were more than 2 hours late to the Met Gala but still maximized the moonlight ... partying all the way to dawn and then some.

Teyana Taylor didn't even give herself a chance to hate the food at this year's Met Gala ... she brought her own meal to the deal, a full Chick-fil-A combo that turned heads at her table!!!

A brazen Teyana plopped the fried food on her supplied dinner plate and the evening's menu which included salmon, asparagus and baby vegetables in lemon crème fraiche ... yummy!!! 😝

The R&B singer was put on blast by her ex-Good Music labelmate Pusha T for her spread of chicken tenders and waffle fries paired with Polynesian Sauce. He jokingly (we think) quipped she was embarrassing the tribe.

Usher later popped up on the table and playfully concealed Teyana's unauthorized eats ... but she continued to munch on unbothered.

As Teyana sees it, the boys were jealous because they were left with a measly-looking pea porridge while the boneless and breaded goodness was all for her!!!

Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner are without question an item ... the two were seen all around NYC together following the Met Gala.

The Puerto Rican rapper and the supermodel showed up arm and arm to a private soiree and then later returned to a swanky Manhattan hotel with Kendall's sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

Check out video, obtained by TMZ, which shows Kendall and Bad Bunny strolling side by side to the party with paparazzi in tow. KJ and BB were obviously enjoying each other's company, smiling and chatting with one another. By the way, KJ was dressed to kill in a sequined black bodysuit showing off her incredible physique.

When the two arrived back at their hotel after the Met, Kendall filed out of their ride first and walked inside the hotel with Bad Bunny several steps behind her. Although the two were not seen in the same frame, they did end up in the same place.

Same thing happened earlier in the day when they both arrived separately at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala.

As you might know, the pair have been spending a lot of time together since February when they were first spotted with one another.

Since then, they have gone out to restaurants and supposedly went on a double date with Justin and Hailey Bieber. They also got close at Coachella, and most recently were seen getting in the same car after a Tyler, The Creator concert.

Kendrick Lamar's breaking from his reclusive ways in a big way ... not only showing up at the Met Gala, but he even stopped to pose for photos with some other MCs.

He wound up kicking it Monday night with fellow rhyme sayers Jack Harlow and Stormzy during the fashion first event. Kendrick was rocking a sleek Chanel fit accented with a red bandana as he was flanked by the other 2 artists.

Jack and Stormyz also cleaned up nicely in their dapper blue suits all the same.

Kendrick is notoriously low on words, but if a picture's worth a thousand of 'em ... his respect for Stormzy and Jack's MC skills runs deep!!!

Jack just released his lyrical-leaning "Jackman" album, and Stormzy is set to headline the Rocking the Daisies Festival in South Africa later this year ... so K-Dot's keeping good company, even if just for a quick photo!!!

Speaking of live shows, Kendrick's 2022 "Big Steppers Tour" recently became the highest-grossing rap tour of all time, raking in $110.9 million from its 73 shows.

The 2023 Met Gala was packed to the brim with stars rocking some incredible outfits ... but they didn't pack it in once the show was over ... they flocked to of the biggest after-parties of the year!

A few shindigs went down after Monday night's festivities, and the big names were spread out ... with some going to Zero Bond, others hitting up the Standard Hotel, while folks like Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny partied it up at a private residence -- and yes, those 2 went together. 👀

Dua Lipa was spotted out at one of the many bashes -- all smiles after being one of the Gala's cohosts, and shocking the crowd with a massive 100-carat diamond necklace!

Olivia Rodrigo went for an Audrey Hepburn look on the carpet ... but took to the Standard afterward to have some fun with other stars like Lil Nas X, Lea Michele, Nick Jonas, and Priyanka Chopra.

The celebs were all having a blast during fashion's biggest night -- Lizzo was twerkin' up a storm and Brian Tyree Henry was cutting loose behind the scenes!

And in case ya missed the celebs debuting their impressive Met Gala fits, we got you covered ... from Pedro Pascal to Kim Kardashian, and EVERYTHING in between!

Diddy and Yung Miami are turning heads once again ... showing up at the Met Gala together, and shocking everyone, because the City Girls rapper just said their dating chapter had come to a close!!!

On their way inside, La La Anthony asked Diddy about his fashionable reunion with Miami, and the Love Records mogul could barely speak. Flustered and out of breath -- with Miami standing right there -- he had to wipe down his brow before finally saying, "We definitely go together, real bad!"

Mind you, the sweat was still pouring down on his face.

To be fair, Diddy had just climbed the gala's famed staircase while wearing a very heavy ensemble. As expected, Diddy went all out to honor both Karl Lagerfeld and André Leon Talley in a custom, king-sized Sean John robe created by June Ambrose.

After catching his bearings, Diddy explained to La La that he and Miami don't want to put labels on their situation, but he called her his "best friend" and said he was "blessed" to have her as his date.

Then he asked for a cloth to mop up his perspiration.

Diddy and Miami were very much in the public eye together until last October when the hit-making producer welcomed a baby daughter with another woman ... a moment Miami admitted fractured their union.

Kim Kardashian could have had an awkward moment when she bumped into her ex Pete Davidson at the 2023 Met Gala ... but the former lovebirds seemed to be in a good space.

Kim and Pete were photographed hanging out with singer Usher at the celebrity-studded event, which kicked off Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.

One picture showed Kim chatting with Pete whose eyes were totally transfixed on the reality star. In another photo, Kim shared a light moment with Usher and Pete, who cracked a broad smile. Clearly, there were good vibes.

All three were dressed to the nines, but Kim was the epitome of glamour. In fact, she looked like a starlet in her corseted Schiaparelli gown with pearl necklaces wrapped around her neck.

But, later she seemed to be dropping pearls ... and we don't mean wisdom. The lower part of the dress was falling apart as she returned to her hotel after the festivities.

Meanwhile, Kim's little get-together with Pete was a coming home of sorts. The two made a splash at last year's Met Gala when they were pictured sharing a kiss on the museum steps while still in a relationship.

As you might recall, Kim started dating Pete after they hit it off on the set of "Saturday Night Live" in October 2021. At the time, Pete was a comedian on the show and Kim hosted one of the episodes.

But their romance fizzled after 9 months due mainly to their busy work schedules, which made it hard for them to see each other.

Pete is now seeing actress Chase Sui Wonders and the two seem to be going strong. Kim, on the other hand, is currently single.

It's been over 2 months since the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, but Patrick Mahomes is still livin' it up, hitting the 2023 Met Gala with his wife Brittany, and they looked fabulous!

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar and his wife walked the red carpet at the world's most famous fashion event in Manhattan on Monday for the "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty" themed night.

Mahomes opted for a classic look, smooth black tuxedo made by Hugo Boss, along with loafers and a pair of dark shades.

Brittany wore an elegant off-the-shoulder gown with silver sequins and a thigh-high slit. As for her hair ... Artistry by LB gave her a natural look, placing her hair in a sleek bun.

Brittany -- who married Mahomes last March -- considered it the perfect "date night".

Fans, friends, and family loved the get up ... including Patrick's brother, Jackson, who said on Instagram, "BEST PHOTO EVER. SO GLAD YOU GUYS WENT!!"
