Travis Scott Happy To Be On Tour To Stay Clear of Jordyn Woods Drama

Published | Updated

Travis Scott is as far away from the Jordyn Woods scandal as he can be without leaving the United States ... and we're told he couldn't be happier.

Our Travis/Kylie sources say the rapper, who's currently in Buffalo for his Astroworld tour, does not want to be caught in the quicksand of controversy that in many ways revolves around his baby mama.

We're told it's like a powder keg back home, where Kylie's sisters have declared war on Tristan Thompson and have been hammering Kylie to break all ties for good. Kylie's on board for now, but everyone believes she's torn because of her incredibly strong bond with Jordyn.

Short story ... home ain't a peaceful place to be these days, and Travis, who's always tried to avoid controversy, is happily 2,500 miles away.

That said, our sources say Travis has been fully supportive of Kylie and has been lending an ear whenever she needs it. But, the way he sees it ... he doesn't have a dog in the fight and he'll go along with whatever Kylie wants.

BTW ... Travis has spent a lot of time with Jordyn since he and Kylie got together nearly 2 years ago. Nevertheless, it's her friend and he's just going along for the ride.

For now ... Jordyn has been blackballed from the Kardashians. They cut all future business ties with her, and she's persona non grata at Kylie's home, where she had been living in the guesthouse.

Khloe Kardashian Silent on Split with Tristan ... As He's Spotted with Basketball Team in NYC

Published | Updated

5:29 PM PT -- Khloe was out in Los Angeles Wednesday, doing some retail therapy and hitting up a spa -- but when asked about the situation with Jordyn and Tristan -- she kept quiet.

TRISTAN SURFACES

Thompson was in NYC, arriving at his team hotel where the Cleveland Cavaliers are getting ready to play the Knicks. It's the first time we've seen him since TMZ broke the story ... Khloe split with him since he was caught making out with Jordyn at a house party on Valentine's Day weekend.

He walked head down and with purpose ... and, unsurprisingly, kept it zipped.

HE GETS AROUND

You'll remember ... the last time the Cavs were in NYC to play The Knicks back in April -- just days before Khloe gave birth to True -- Thompson was spotted bringing a woman back to his hotel room.

Jordyn Woods sat down for Jada Pinkett Smith's "Red Table Talk" on Tuesday, but so far everyone's mum on what she said. The episode will run Friday, and the Kardashians will be watching, along with their lawyers ... because Jordyn signed an NDA.

R. Kelly Investigated for Criminal Failure to Pay Child Support

Published | Updated

10:58 AM PT -- R. Kelly's attorney, Steven Greenberg, tells TMZ, "In 30 years of practicing criminal defense law, I have never seen anyone prosecuted for non-payment of child support. Maybe it happens, but I've never seen it done in Illinois."

10:25 AM PT -- Drea Kelly's management team tells TMZ, "We are aware that they are bringing criminal charges for non-payment of child support and we support any and all efforts that will make sure that his children are taken care of."

R. Kelly's freedom may be short-lived because we've learned prosecutors in Chicago are looking at charging him with the CRIME of failing to pay child support.

Sources connected to the case tell TMZ, the State's Attorney is investigating the over $160k he owes ex-wife Drea Kelly. We're told Drea has been in touch with prosecutors who are now looking to charge R. Kelly with the offense of failure to support. Any amount over $20k can be filed as a felony.

If he's charged, he can be immediately arrested and will land right back in jail.

CHAOTIC RELEASE

As you know, the judge has ordered the singer to pay the $161,663 by March 6 or else he'll go back to jail. But, our sources say the State's Attorney does not want the singer out of custody and is now looking at accelerating things by filing a criminal case.

R. Kelly clearly had problems posting bond in the sex abuse case. He sat in jail for days until a friend posted the $100k.

Jordyn Woods I Was Blackout Drunk During Tristan Hookup ... Please Forgive Me!!!

Published | Updated

8:18 AM PT -- Sources close to the Kardashians say the family is calling BS on Jordyn's story -- citing the fact party-goers were told to put their phones away when Jordyn arrived -- which shows Woods wanted her rendezvous with Thompson private. Our sources say Jordyn also drove herself home from the party ... something she wouldn't have done if she was wasted.

Jordyn Woods can't handle her booze and that's why she was down to make out with Tristan Thompson and blow up her relationship with the Kardashians ... that's her story, anyway.

Sources close to Jordyn tell TMZ ... she has been begging her ex-bestie, Kylie Jenner, for forgiveness ... ditto with Khloe. And, while she admits she made a stupid decision ... we're told she's blaming it on the a--a-a-a-a-alcohol, as they say.

We're told Woods was wasted before she even went to the house party where witnesses say she snuggled up to Tristan. She's saying she was actually blackout drunk ... as in, she doesn't even remember how she got to the party or anything that happened there.

Our sources say Jordyn started crying when she was told what she did and as we told you, Kylie also couldn't fathom the news. We're told Jordyn rarely drinks, but when she does ... it usually ends badly. Although, this time it's next level.

We're told the hookup seems to be a one-off -- Jordyn and Tristan don't follow each other on social media, and even Kylie doesn't believe they had secret texts or DMs. As one source put it, there'd be NO way for Jordyn to hide it ... she and Kylie were that tight.

Woods seemed to address the situation at a launch event for her new eyelash line Thursday night, saying ... "It's been real."

So are hangovers.

Tristan Thompson Cheating Scandal Advice ... From Nick Young

Published | Updated
022119_nick_young_kal
SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE

Tristan Thompson, listen up ... Nick Young is giving away one of his secrets for getting over a massive cheating scandal!!!

Of course, Swaggy P is an expert in what TT's currently going through ... the ex-Lakers star famously cheated on Iggy Azalea when the two were dating in 2016.

So, when we got Nick leaving Pretty Little Things on Wednesday night ... we asked how Tristan should deal with his latest Khloe Kardashian drama -- and Young delivered!!!

There's more ... Nick also spoke with us about Zion Williamson's shoe-blowing incident against North Carolina -- saying the play showed Z-Dub is legitimately like the Hulk!!!

But, Young says the freak play that caused a knee sprain shouldn't end Williamson's NCAA career ... and ya gotta hear why he's all for Zion returning to Duke to finish out the season.

R. Kelly Owes Nearly $200k in Child Support ... Pay Up or Go to Jail!!!

Published | Updated

If R. Kelly wasn't about to surrender to police, he might end up in jail anyway ... because a judge is fed up with his failure to pay a ton of child support to his ex-wife.

A Cook County judge found R. Kelly in contempt earlier this month -- according to docs obtained by TMZ -- because he owes Drea Kelly $169,996 in support. The court says he was supposed to be paying her $20,833 per month as of January 2009 -- but he's obviously fallen off schedule in the last year.

The court order states R. Kelly needs to pay up by March 6, or he'll be locked up in County Jail. Obviously, the singer may see that as a moot point ... after he was hit with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse on Friday. As we reported, Kelly is expected to surrender Friday night.

Make no mistake, it's no longer just raining ... it's an all out downpour in his world.

For what it's worth ... he actually owes even more -- $194,045.70. That number includes interest and education and health care costs for the 3 kids he and Drea have together.

Blac Chyna Soulja Boy's Thirsty, Immature ... His Breakup Response Proves It!!!

Published | Updated

Blac Chyna is blasting Soulja Boy for trying to sex shame her after their breakup ... and she's hitting him where it hurts!!!

Sources close to Blac Chyna tell TMZ ... Soulja Boy's an immature, thirsty clout chaser who was begging to get with her, and she's glad their relationship is dunzo!!!

We're told BC's anger stems from SB's response to TMZ breaking the news of their split. In a since-deleted tweet, Soulja Boy said he "just wanted to see what the p***y felt like."

Yeah, Draco really went there.

Our Chyna sources say she's happy Soulja Boy's out of her life because the tweet showed his true colors. We're told she felt his reaction was the lowest of the low, and utterly ridiculous.

As we reported ... Soulja Boy was super romantic and sweet while lavishing Chyna with $20,000 in gifts during a Valentine's Day shopping spree ... but it appears he left his manners in Beverly Hills.

Kylie Jenner Jordyn Who??? Steps Out with Other Bestie

Published | Updated

Kylie Jenner's already moving on from Jordyn Woods, and hanging with a different BFF.

Kylie stepped out Thursday for the first time since TMZ broke the story Khloe was kicking Tristan to the curb for allegedly cheating (again) ... this time with her sister's BFF, Jordyn.

KJ was all bundled up and trying to cover her face next to her pal, Heather Sanders.

We might've buried the headline here, but it's snowing in parts of L.A. right now! So, Kylie and Heather were definitely dressed for it out in Calabasas -- and they even recorded a video to commemorate the oddly chilly occasion.

As for Jordyn ... we're told she's moving out of Kylie's pad and back into her mom's house for now.

It's unclear where exactly things stand between Kylie and her -- but it's safe to assume it ain't great.

Or even good.

Blac Chyna & Soulja Boy Calling It Quits ... After Dating For A Couple Weeks

Published | Updated

Blac Chyna and Soulja Boy are breaking up after dating for only a couple weeks ... ending a relationship that will go down as one of the fastest flings in hip-hop history.

Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ ... the relationship started to fracture after Soulja and Chyna got into a huge argument about Tyga. During the argument, we're told SB and BC started bickering about each other's true intentions in their relationship.

We broke the story ... the reason Soulja and Chyna started dating in the first place was revenge on Tyga. Tyga is Chyna's ex, and he just had major beef with Soulja. Now, it seems Tyga is part of the reason why they're throwing in the towel.

There are other factors involved in the breakup ... we're told Soulja and Chyna just weren't on the same wavelength, with Soulja looking for group hangs and Chyna preferring the Netflix and chill vibe. As a result, we're told BC felt SB wasn't ready to commit.

Say this for Soulja and Chyna ... they squeezed as much out of their abbreviated relationship as they could. They hit up some Grammy parties together, spent a day getting mani-pedis, and went on a huge Valentine's Day shopping spree!!!

SOULJA GENTLEMAN

We're told Soulja showered Chyna with $20,000 in gifts on V-Day and they had a fun night ... but it wasn't enough to keep the relationship alive.

The good news ... we're told the breakup is totally amicable, and there's a chance they might try their luck again in the future.

It's funny ... Brendan McLoughlin made it clear to his friends ... one of his goals was to meet Miranda.

SO FLAGRANT

As for the rest of the Kardashians -- our sources say none of them are the least bit surprised Tristan did it again. We're told the family warned Khloe about taking Tristan back after last year's cheating scandal ... but ultimately backed off because it's Khloe's life and her decision.

HE GETS AROUND

What they weren't expecting, much like Kylie, is Jordyn's role. We're told it would've been less painful if it was a random chick, like the times before.

Even if Khloe's done for good, everyone thinks she'll still maintain a civilized relationship with Tristan for the sake of baby True.

Lady Gaga A Star is Single ... Donzo with Fiance

Published | Updated

Lady Gaga and her fiance have called off their engagement ... ending their two-year relationship ... TMZ has confirmed.

The singer and Christian Carino started dating back in February 2017 around the time she performed at the Super Bowl halftime show and just months after she called off her engagement to Taylor Kinney. Her relationship heated up fast with Christian ... wasting no time kanoodling with him in the Hamptons.

It's unclear when exactly the 50-year-old agent proposed ... but during a speech at Elle's 25th annual Women in Hollywood Celebration in October 2018, LG revealed the engagement when she thanked "my fiance, Christian."

There were signs the relationship was on the rocks ... fans noticed Christian was nowhere in sight when she hit up the Grammys. He was also absent from Gaga's Instagram feed on Valentine's Day.

People was first to report the news.

Kourtney Kardashian Runs Into Younes ... Gets Handsy With Her Ex

Published | Updated

Kourtney Kardashian looks like she's on great terms with her ex-boyfriend, Younes Bendjima ... because the former couple was super flirty when they bumped into each other while out grabbing drinks.

We got these pics of Kourtney and Younes at Alfred Tea on Melrose Place, where they randomly crossed paths over the weekend. Yeah, Los Angeles can have that small-town feel sometimes.

The person who snapped the photos tell us, Younes was in line ordering when Kourtney and her girlfriend approached her former flame. We're told Kourtney and Younes got handsy with one another ... and she kissed him on the cheek when they said goodbye.

The best part ... we're told Younes paid for Kourtney's matcha latte. Who says chivalry is dead?

As we've reported ... Kourtney dumped Younes back in July, amid reports he was cheating on her.

It's interesting ... a couple months after the breakup, Kourtney was spotted at the Alfred's in WeHo -- grabbing the same drink with a Younes look-alike!!!

Looks like Kourtney's still thirsty.

Miranda Lambert Wades Into a Commuter Marriage ... Between TN & NY

Published | Updated

Miranda Lambert's new hubby is NOT dropping his life in New York and hightailing it to Nashville -- quite the contrary, she'll be going to him and vice versa.

Sources close to the newly-married couple tell us, Miranda and Brendan McLoughlin will be splitting their time between Nashville and NYC -- regularly going back and forth. She's got a sprawling 400-acre estate in Tennessee where her music career is based, and he's an NYPD cop.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Considering Brendan's got a 9-5 gig on the force, it sounds like she'll be the one taking to the skies more often than him. However, we're told this travel arrangement will probably only hold up for about a year. We're told Brendan plans to be on the job for at least that long and will reassess after that.

Brendan's also got a new bundle of joy to consider. Our sources tell us he recently welcomed a kid from a previous relationship this past November, which is right around the time he met Miranda. They were first introduced on November 2 during her 'GMA' appearance.

We're told Brendan was single when he got with Miranda. His baby momma learned she was pregnant after they'd broken up ... so there was no overlap. For now, we're told he's got 50/50 custody.

Miranda announced her secret wedding this past weekend, saying she'd met the love of her life. They tied the knot late last month.

Jenna Dewan New BF Shows Off Stepdad Chops During Disneyland Date!!!

Published | Updated

Jenna Dewan's boyfriend is stepping up to the plate, proving he's daddy material by enjoying/surviving a day at Disneyland with her 5-year-old girl.

The actress hit up the Happiest Place on Earth Saturday with BF Steve Kazee and Everly, her daughter with Channing Tatum. Everly got the cush stroller ride around the park with potential-future-stepdad Steve on push duty.

Jenna, Steve and Everly seemed to have a great time riding rides and goofing around, and looked totally comfortable with their new family dynamic ... in the wake of Jenna and Channing's split.

That's not to say Channing and Jenna can't get together from time to time for the sake of their daughter -- they did exactly that this past Halloween, posing together for a selfie while taking Everly trick-or-treating.

Successful post-divorce co-parenting has become a thing in Hollywood -- Chris Pratt and Anna Faris most recently got it down pat ... and Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow have been at it for years.

We're all here for this trend.
