Gossip / Rumors

Christie Brinkley is still with the band.

The uptown girl had dinner with rocker John Mellencamp Monday night in downtown Manhattan ... fueling rumors they've hooked up.

She's hasn't been linked to anyone since 2008 when she divorced her 4th husband. Mellencamp recently broke it off with longtime GF Meg Ryan and also has 3 marriages under his belt ... so lots in common to talk about at dinner.

Travis Scott is a real kiss and tell kind of guy ... or he's just under Rihanna's spell.

Scott had a show in Santa Ana, CA Monday night when he let the entire sold-out crowd know just how lucky he's getting with Rihanna. Scott cleverly switched up the lyrics to his track, "3500."

The original lyrics are, "One time for the trill bitches that'll let me touch it.”

But watch at about 13 seconds you'll hear ... "One time for the RiRi that'll let me touch it.”

This video ... combined with their recent make-out sesh at NY Fashion Week ... should convince doubters RiRi and Travis are the real deal -- or maybe it just looks like a giant PR stunt.

One little U.S. Open loss isn't gonna break Serena Williams and Drake -- they went extremely public with their relationship at her fashion show in NYC.

The PDA went down right after Serena's Fashion Week event ... and not only did they share a kiss on camera -- his lips to her hand -- but she also used a bunch of his songs during the show.

Here's the thing though, you really gotta see how these 2 are staring into each other's eyes backstage.

Actress Sanaa Lathan -- who has the #1 movie out right now -- is #2 this year on the people French Montana has dated.

Our photog got the star of "The Perfect Guy" out at Mastro's in Bev Hills Monday night, and her reaction to Khloe Kardashian's ex was coy but revealing.

Lewis Hamilton took a Rihanna detour (it's the thing to do, after all) ... but ended up right back with Kendall Jenner -- 'cause they were spotted out in NYC together looking pretty cozy.

The Kendall/Lewis rumors started swirling earlier this year when she was walking around the Monaco Grand Prix wearing what looked like his chain.

But then hurricane Rihanna started blowing in August, and it sure as hell looked like Lewis had moved on ... but you know how RiRi romances go.

Cut to NYC ... where it's now Fashion week. It's a huge event for KJ, so it's interesting that Lewis is hanging with her again. Kinda like when she showed up in Monaco for him.

Rihanna has pretty much connected the dots ... she's dating Travis Scott.

RiRi and Travis left the Gramercy Theatre Wednesday night where he had just performed. It's the third time they've been together this week.

Side note: Check out how Rihanna air kisses her fans. She has the antiseptic greeting down pat.

Here's Drake's dad ... trying to play it cool when asked how he feels about his son gettin' up close and personal with the greatest tennis player who ever lived recently -- but what does it all mean?!!?

It's an interesting clip ... and not just because Dennis Graham hit up 1 OAK on a Tuesday.

Look, we all know Drake and Serena had a thing a few years ago -- and seem to have reconnected again recently, as evidenced by these pics of the two all over each other at an Italian restaurant.

But when we asked Dennis about his son's relationship with Serena -- it was all about deflection, deflection, deflection.

So, is this Dennis trying hard not to say anything to tick off his son ... or do you really think he doesn't know what's going on with the two?

Check out the clip ... and notice the OVO owl chain he's wearing.

Drake is taking this SWOLL patrol thing very seriously, especially in the arms department ... and it might have something to do with impressing his lady friend Serena Williams.

Champagne Papi hit the gym -- it was a curls-for-the-girls day ... and you gotta think all that upper body strength will come in handy on date night. Fact is, Serena's physique is world class -- so you'd expect Drizzy to step up his game too.

When Serena's the gain, you don't mind the pain.

The Weeknd and Bella Hadid made it photographically official Tuesday night ... leaving a club hand in hand.

They've been dating on the down-low for 4 months but last night clearly wanted it known ... they're together as they locked hands leaving Up and Down Nightclub in NYC.

A little background ... she's 18, he's 25.

Good looking couple for sure.

Fred Durst is being credited for getting Slash and Axl Rose talking again -- possibly for a reunion -- and he not-so-coyly hinted that Guns 'N Roses are about to go on tour.

Fred was leaving Craig's in West Hollywood Monday night when our photog invited him to take credit for what could be one of the most awesome reunions in years.

Don't let this photo fool you ... Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are not getting back together.

The pic was taken Thursday, and it looks like the former couple is simpatico. But sources closely connected to the couple tell TMZ, there is no reconciliation and no chance for one.

We're told Ben has actually moved out of the family house, where he was staying in the guest quarters. He's currently living in a Pacific Palisades home.

As for the photo, our sources say Ben and Jen are civilized, especially when dealing with issues involving their 3 kids.

As one source says, "The damage is already done. They're leading separate lives."

Kris Jenner just schooled us and anyone else who thought her "fat lip" excuse for cancelling a TV appearance was fake ... she says it was real, and serious.

We got this pic of Kris taken Monday morning, around the time she called producers of "Bachelor In Paradise: After Paradise" and cancelled her scheduled appearance, saying her lip blew up and she was not camera ready.

Kris says the culprit was most likely a spider so she had her room sprayed by an exterminator. The swelling was serious enough for a doctor to prescribe 4 different meds.

As for showing up Tuesday night at Nobu and looking just fine, Kris made it clear to friends and family it took 18 hours for the swelling to go down.

It's not the first time Kris' lips blew up ... she had an allergic reaction to food in the Dominican Republic a few years back.

Rosie O'Donnell and Tatum O'Neal are NOT a couple ... so says Rosie.

A report Wednesday claimed the two had been dating for weeks, but that's just not the case.

Rosie's rep tells TMZ ... Rosie and Tatum have been friends for several years and met in Chicago when they both were working on shows for OWN.

"Bachelor In Paradise" star Ashley Iaconetti did not serve Jared anything with a cherry on top -- not her's anyway, because Monday's episode was just a tease, or at least that's her story.

TMZ has learned Ashley I.'s telling friends ... producers fed her those lines about possibly losing her famous virginity. If you missed it, Ashley's chastity seemed up for grabs when she drunkenly slurred that she dug Jared enough to give it up to him.

Sources close to Ashley say she knows virginity is the thing that's made her famous, so she'd never blow it on a one-night stand.

We're told she's holding out for Mr. Right -- who, as we all know, rarely pops up on reality shows.

NBA star Markieff Morris could be on his way to the Houston Rockets … if Common’s Instagram is to be believed … and if the photo he posted is actually of Markieff and not his twin brother Marcus.

Common worked out in Los Angeles Tuesday with a few members of the Rockets … and one of the Morris twins. The problem is … we can’t tell which one (they are twins, after all).

What makes this photo (possibly) a big deal ... Markieff has requested to be traded from the Phoenix Suns (because they traded his brother to Detroit) and the Rockets are seemingly a preferred landing spot.

So, if this photo really is Markieff -- it would appear to be pretty strong evidence he got his wish and will join the Rockets next season.

NBA sharpshooter Sasha Vujacic is pulling a Taylor Swift ... saying that him and his tennis superstar ex-fiancee Maria Sharapova are never, ever, ever getting back together.

Vujacic -- who just recently signed with the NY Knicks -- was at LAX when we tossed some questions at the former Laker ... most notably, if he ever thinks he'll get back on serve with Sharapova.

The two used to be quite the sports couple -- dating for years until they called off the engagement in 2012 ... but with Drake rekindling his romance with Maria's chief rival Serena, we had to know if reconciliation was on Sasha's brain.

The short answer? Hell no ... Vujacic bristles at the very mention of Sharapova, maybe because there is another lady in the clip who he may or may not be connected to.
