Vanessa Bryant surprised the UConn men's basketball team with some Kobe kicks ahead of its Sweet 16 matchup with SDSU ... gifting the unreleased "Italian Camo" Protros to the squad -- and the players loved them!!

The Huskies got the amazing gifts on Wednesday, some 24 hours before they take on the No. 5 Aztecs in Boston as part of the NCAA tournament's next round.

In video posted by the team, you can see the Big East champs had no idea they were going to get the presents from Vanessa ... and the players went nuts when they officially got to unwrap the Nike sneakers -- which won't be available to the public 'til April.

"I just wanna say thank you to Vanessa Bryant and the Bryant family. We appreciate you," senior guard Hassan Diarra said after getting his pair. "We're gonna show out in the NCAA tournament!"

The shoes have been dubbed the "Italian Camos" ... and they were created to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant's Italian background.

This, of course, is not the first time UConn's gotten some custom Bryant footwear ... during last year's tourney, the team -- which is part of the Nike Mamba Program -- was gifted custom Huskies Kobe 8 Protros.

Remember, Kobe always had a soft spot for UConn ... he was famously a big fan of the school's men's and women's basketball teams when he was alive -- as was his daughter, Gianna, who went to several games with Dad during her life.

Kim Kardashian sorprendió a varios de sus fans esta semana cuando se convirtió en una réplica casi idéntica de la actual esposa de Kanye West, Bianca Censori, o al menos eso dicen sus fans en Instagram.

Kim subió una foto suya a IG luciendo medias marrones sin top, exponiendo parcialmente sus pechos bajo un abrigo de piel gigante, algo que parece haber estado usando mientras estaba en París hace un par de semanas, pero que acaba de estrenar ahora.

También se puso gafas de sol negras con el pelo peinado hacia atrás, haciéndola casi la viva imagen de Bianca. Las similitudes entre ellas sorprendieron a algunas personas, quienes escribieron un montón de comentarios sobre el parecido de Kim con Bianca.

Estos fueron algunos de los comentarios: "¡¡¡Kim censori!!! Kim ¡¿qué estás haciendo?!?" "Está dando Censori", "Cuando le estás mandando un msg a tu ex 👀😂", "Inspirado por Censori", "¿Por qué intenta parecerse a la mujer de Kanye?".

Como saben, Bianca ha estado paseándose por todo el mundo últimamente mientras presume públicamente sus partes íntimas con Ye a su lado. La pareja ha sido inseparable desde que se casó en 2022.

Sin embargo, Kim, que estuvo casada con Kanye durante 7 años antes de divorciarse, parece llevarse bien con Bianca, al menos en apariencia. Las mujeres recientemente fueron vistas juntas en la fiesta de escucha de Ye en San Fran.

Kim Kardashian stunned several of her fans this week, 'cause she nearly turned herself into a near replica of Kanye West's current wife, Bianca Censori. ... so say her IG fans anyway.

KK uploaded an IG photo of herself sporting brown tights with no top, partially exposing her breasts under a gigantic fur coat -- something she seems to have been wearing while in Paris a couple weeks ago ... but which she just debuted now.

She also donned black sunglasses with her hair slicked back, making her almost the spitting image of Bianca. The similarities in their appearances shocked some people, who wrote a series of comments about Kim's Bianca look-alike pic.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

Rebel Wilson took to social media and teased who the "a**hole" celebrity was who threatened to block her new memoir, who is now denying those claims.

Kate Middleton's uncle is apologizing for slamming Meghan Markle amid Kate's cancer diagnosis.

Bianca Censori appeared to unusually cover up from head to toe while out to dinner with Kanye West and his daughter North.

Plus, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were finally spotted in Los Angeles together out on a lunch date at Nobu Malibu.

Welp, Bianca Censori wasn't hiding her body for long ... going back to minimalist clothing for an outing with Kanye West -- after covering up big time at dinner with Ye's eldest.

Ye & BC hit up The Grove for a movie date in Los Angeles Sunday ... apparently, checking out "Dune: Part 2" -- and Bianca's style was far more in line with what we've seen in the past.

Check out the pics ... Bianca went with the strapless, backless baby blue top and sheer white leggings during the flirty outing with her man -- who kept it simple in his usual all-black ensemble.

La esposa de Kanye West -Bianca Censori-, se cubrió el sábado por la noche, ocultando su cuerpo bajo un abrigo de piel, presumiblemente porque estaban comiendo con North West.

Ye, Bianca y su hija de 10 años fueron a Nobu. Bianca llegó con un abrigo de piel y leggings.

North llamaba la atención, sonriéndole a los paparazzi. Kanye y Bianca... no tanto.

Es curioso ver a Bianca vestida de manera convencional... la verdad es curioso ver a Bianca vestida.

Bianca Censori y Kanye West fueron a comer a Cheesecake Factory en The Grove en Los Ángeles.

El padre de Bianca no está muy contento con la manera en que su hija se expone públicamente. Según el Daily Mail, él la llamó una "mujer trofeo".

Kim Kardashian ha interactuado con Bianca en algunos eventos últimamente, y tal vez le ha dado algunos consejos...

Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, engaged in a shocking coverup Saturday night, hiding her body under a fur coat ... presumably because they were chowing down with North West.

Ye, Bianca and his 10-year-old daughter hit up Nobu. and BC arrived in a full, furry coat and leggings to boot!

North was into the attention as they arrived, smiling at the paparazzi. Kanye and Bianca ... not so much.

Bianca's fit is in sharp contrast to what she has not been wearing lately -- namely, clothes.

She stopped shoppers dead in their tracks a few days back, wearing very little as they grabbed some grub at the Cheesecake Factory at The Grove in L.A.

Bianca's dad is none too pleased about what's happened to his architect daughter, who almost never utters a word in public. According to the Daily Mail, he called her a "trashy naked trophy pony."

Kim Kardashian has been interacting with Bianca at a few events lately, and maybe KK got in her ear.

Kim Kardashian mantuvo la paz con su ex Kanye West el viernes, a pesar de su evidente tensión sobre cómo criar a sus hijos.

KK y Ye aparecieron en el partido de baloncesto de su hijo Saint en Los Ángeles la noche de ayer, y actuaron como si todo estuviera de maravilla entre ellos.

Echa un vistazo a estas imágenes obtenidas por TMZ, Kim y Kanye estaban sonriendo mientras posaban para las fotos tomadas por sus fans. Kanye fue un paso más allá e incluso puso su brazo alrededor de Kim en un momento dado.

Un movimiento bastante atrevido teniendo en cuenta que su matrimonio de 7 años terminó con un amargo divorcio en 2022. Sus cuatro hijos pequeños han provocado gran parte de las tensiones entre la ex pareja.

TMZ dio la noticia, Kim y Kanye no se han podido poner de acuerdo sobre cómo criar a sus hijos Saint, North, Chicago y Psalm. El principal problema tiene que ver con el colegio la que irán los pequeños.

Kanye quiere que dejen la escuela Sierra Canyon, mientras que Kim quiere que sigan matriculados allí. Además de eso, está la tensión por los desplantes antisemitas que ha tenido Kanye alabando a Hitler y a los nazis.

Pero ahora parece que Kim está siendo amable con Kanye y su actual esposa, Bianca Censori. Como recordarán, Kim apareció recientemente junto a Bianca en la fiesta de escucha del nuevo disco de Ye, "Vultures 1".

Kim Kardashian was keeping the peace with her ex Kanye West on Friday ... despite their obvious tension over how to raise their kids.

KK and Ye showed up at their son Saint's basketball game in LA last evening, and they acted like everything was hunky dory between them.

Check out these images obtained by TMZ ... Kim and Kanye were smiling as they posed for photos snapped by their fans. Kanye went one step further, putting his arm around Kim at one point.

Pretty bold move considering their 7-year marriage ended in a bitter divorce in 2022. Their four young children created much of the tension between the former couple.

TMZ broke the story ... . Kim and Kanye are not seeing eye to eye on how to raise Saint, North, Chicago and Psalm. The main issue has to do with where the youngsters are going to school.

Kanye wants them out of Sierra Canyon School, whereas Kim wants them to stay enrolled. There's also the added stress of Kanye's antisemitic rants praising Hitler and the Nazis.

But now it seems Kim is playing nicely with Kanye and his current wife, Bianca Censori. You may recall, Kim recently showed up alongside Bianca at Ye's listening party for his new rap record, "Vultures 1."

Rihanna seems to be putting an age-old theory to the test ... finding out if blondes really do have more fun -- 'cause she's rocking a short, light new hairdo!

The singer-songwriter stepped out in Santa Monica Friday, and her new look was instantly noticeable -- RiRi's usually lettin' her long locks flow, but now ... she's trimmed most of it off.

Just check out the pics ... her hair's not even touching her shoulders at this point -- a pretty sharp contrast to the Rihanna we normally see these days ... who lets her hair fall all the way to her hips. That's the 'do she's been sporting lately, anyway.

Also, peep the jewelry ... Rihanna's iced out with a necklace, earrings and bracelets -- shining bright like a diamond while on her way to an important meeting. It definitely accentuates the blonde hair up top ... and we gotta say, she's pulling the whole look off and then some.

Rihanna's look is noticeably different from one of the last times we spotted her ... as she was leaving Mukesh Ambani's son's pre-wedding bash in India with a swag bag and at least $6 million for her performance on the special day.

No word on how A$AP Rocky feels about the fresh cut ... but when your lady's RiRi, it's hard to imagine you can criticize much about her -- 'cause she's a beauty through and through.

Rihanna parece estar poniendo a prueba una vieja teoría: averiguar si las rubias realmente se divierten más, pues ha decidido teñirse el cabello y, ¡llevarlo muy corto!

La cantante y compositora anduvo por Santa Mónica el viernes, y su nuevo look se notó al instante. RiRi suele dejar que sus largos mechones fluyan, pero ahora se ha recortado la mayor parte.

Solo echa un vistazo a las fotos. El nuevo corte ni siquiera le llega a los hombros, un contraste bastante grande con la Rihanna que solemos ver por estos días, quien suele llevar su cabello largo hasta las caderas. Al menos ese es el peinado que ha estado luciendo últimamente.

Miren también las joyas que llevaba. Rihanna lució un collar, pendientes y pulseras, brillando como un diamante mientras se dirigía a una importante reunión. Definitivamente, se acentúa el rubio con el cabello corto.

El look de Rihanna es notablemente diferente al de una de las últimas veces que la vimos, esto es, cuando actuó en la fiesta pre-boda del hijo de Mukesh Ambani en India, donde recibió al menos $6 millones por su actuación.

No se sabe qué pensará A$AP Rocky de este nuevo corte, pero cuando tu señora es RiRi, es difícil imaginar que puedas hacer muchas críticas porque ella es una belleza al 100%.

Kanye West is changing things up when it comes to showing off his wife Bianca Censori, ... instead of parading her around in public, he's got her laid out on their massive ass bed.

The rapper uploaded a short video Thursday of Bianca wearing a sheer milk-colored lace bodysuit with a pair of stiletto heels -- and as you can see ... she's very comfy as she maintains a frozen position with her leg bent, and her phone covering her face.

It feels like part-art installation, part-portrait subject ... it's also a little weird, to be honest.

Bianca is simply lying back on a gigantic white bed -- which is extra wide, and fit for a freaking emperor -- while holding her phone in front of her face. Ye, meanwhile, is just standing over her and recording in silence ... with car noises outside and low breathing.

His IG post was a departure from his usual antics with Bianca. Not that Ye hasn't filmed her posing half nude indoors before – but lately the two have been on the move bringing their risque act to a city near you.

Just this week ... Ye showed off Bianca's incredible bod all around Los Angeles, hitting The Grove, a tanning salon and an ice cream shop. Bianca sported various tight, revealing outfits while Ye, fully clothed, stayed right beside her, protectively holding her hand.

At one point, the couple headed to a private business meeting that wasn't so private. Bianca put her assets in full view, rocking a tight nude tube top that pushed out her cleavage and neon nylon stockings that accentuated her butt.

As you know ... the two have taken their eye-popping display around the world and as far away as France and Italy. And, there doesn't seem to be any end in sight.

Whether it's out in the street, or in the bedroom ... Bianca's on a pedestal!

Kanye West está cambiando las cosas cuando se trata de mostrar a su esposa Bianca Censori, en lugar de desfilar con ella en público, la tiene acostada en su enorme cama.

El rapero subió un video de Bianca el jueves con un body de encaje de color blanco con un par de tacones de aguja, y como se puede ver, ella está muy cómoda, con una pierna doblada y los hombros hundidos en la almohada mientras revisa su teléfono.

Se siente como una instalación de arte, lo que también es un poco raro, para ser honestos.

Bianca está tumbada en una cama blanca gigante, extra ancha y digna de un emperador, con el teléfono delante de la cara. Ye, mientras tanto, solo está de pie delante de ella, grabándola en silencio, con los ruidos de los carros afuera y su respiración baja.

Este post es un cambio respecto de las payasadas habituales con Bianca. No es que Ye no la haya filmado posando semidesnuda en interiores antes, pero últimamente los dos han estado en movimiento llevando sus osados actos por la ciudad.

Esta misma semana, Ye mostró el increíble cuerpo de Bianca en el centro comercial The Grove, en un salón de bronceado y una tienda de helados. Bianca lució varios atuendos ajustados y muy sugerentes mientras Ye iba completamente vestido a su lado.

En un momento dado, la pareja fue a una reunión de negocios privada que no fue tan privada. Bianca puso sus activos a la vista, luciendo un top rosa ajustado que dejaba ver su escote y medias de nylon de neón que acentuaban su trasero.

Como ustedes saben, los dos han llevado su llamativo espectáculo por todo el mundo y en lugares tan diversos como Francia e Italia. Y, no parece haber ningún final a la vista.

12:14 PM -- LeBron James was clearly watching every second of the first-round matchup ... 'cause the Lakers superstar was quick to congratulate his former coach on the 71-67 upset win over BYU.

"YEAAAAHHHH @DruOnDemand LFG!!!! Go Dukes @DuqMBB," Bron said on Thursday.

As the saying goes ... it's gotta be the shoes!!

The Duquesne basketball team got a sweet surprise before their first-round game in the NCAA Tournament ... brand new LeBron James XXI kicks -- from the King himself!

The Lakers superstar had the white and light blue sneakers delivered to the 11th-seeded team this week before Thursday's game against 6th-seeded BYU ... in the tourney's East Region.

The players were HYPED when they saw the new shoes ... and were super appreciative of the gift.

FYI, the LeBron 21s "Blue Diver" dropped this month ... with Air Zoom cushioning and a glow-in-the-dark outsole. The shoe was modeled after an Oyster shell.

There's a deeper meaning ... and it's a tribute to Bron's daughter, Zhuri, and how the proud dad protects his daughter just as a shell shelters a pearl.

You're probably asking, why Duquesne? Well, James' former high school basketball coach is their current HC ... Keith Dambrot, who has been the coach of the Dukes since 2017.

The special delivery comes on the heels of Duquesne's biggest basketball game in decades ... they haven't been in the NCAA tourney in 47 years, and last made a trip to the Final 4 in 1940, 84 years ago.

La publicista de Beyoncé no está de acuerdo con Erykah Badu y le responde con pruebas que demuestran que la diva siempre ha llevado las trenzas que Erykah afirma que le han robado.

La publicista de Bey -Yvette Noel-Schure- entró al chat para responderle a Badu, y no perdió el tiempo publicando un álbum de recortes de Bey luciendo el peinado de trenzas a lo largo de su carrera, algunas fotos incluso parecen estar fechadas en su infancia.

Yvette subtitula el post diciendo: "She slays. She slays. Now. Then. Always. act ii COWBOY CARTER 3.29 #criticswithoutcredentials".

Así que, sí, es un ataque directo a Erykah.

Como informamos, la cantante de "Mama's Gun" tiene la impresión de que Beyoncé le está robando su estilo. El año pasado, la selección de sombreros de Bey durante su gira "Renaissance" hizo que Erykah se pusiera roja, ya que ella también ha mostrado ese estilo durante años en sus propios conciertos.

Beyoncé's ride-or-die isn't here for Erykah Badu's copycat shade -- she's firing back with receipts proving Miss "Cowboy Carter" has always rocked the braids Erykah claims she jacked from her.

Bey's longtime publicist Yvette Noel-Schure entered the chat to respond to EB, and wasted no time posting a full-blown scrapbook of Bey wearing the braided hairstyle throughout her career ... some snaps even appear to be dated in her childhood!!!

Yvette captioned the post with ... “She slays. She slays. Now. Then. Always. act ii COWBOY CARTER 3.29 #criticswithoutcredentials.”

So, yeah ... totally a direct shot at Erykah.

As we reported, the "Mama's Gun" singer is under the impression Beyoncé is leeching off her style flair -- last year, Bey's hat selection during her "Renaissance" tour made EB see red as she's also donned the oversized derby for years in her own concerts.
