Hook Ups

If Robin Wright and Ben Foster are broken up ... somebody outta tell their hands -- 'cause the couple walked through LAX Saturday hand-in-hand like a couple of love birds.

They reportedly split back in November ... but it looks like they've patched up the problem.

No word whether the engagement's back on -- they're both pretty private -- but things look good.

Rapper Kevin Gates was having sex with a woman for nearly 2 years after finding out she was his cousin, and he tells us he'd do it again because there's nothing wrong with it.

Kevin just went on TMZ Live to clarify what he posted a few days back ... that he was dating a woman a few years ago and after 3 months his grandma told him the lady was his cousin.

Kevin told us ... they began dating in 2006 and continued dating for nearly 2 years after finding out. He says he never found out whether it was a first, second, third cousin or even more remote.

The rapper and the woman are still close, and he has no regrets and feels no weirdness about their relationship.

Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels each went out of their way Wednesday night to send clear signals to the other and the world ... they're with other people now.

First you had Safaree, who went to Boa with his new chick, a model named Candice Brook. As if Boa wasn't already a place to be seen ... Safaree pulled up in a ridiculous red car.

Then we have Nicki ... who popped up in a selfie with Meek Mill ... whom Nicki has been linked to for months, but she never owned it until now.

Messages received.

Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy gave everyone a big fat clue about their relationship status ... by doing something a freshly broken up couple doesn't do ... grocery shopping.

It sure looked like they had broken up last month ... Matt seemed downright giddy about being single. But things took a dramatic turn Sunday at a Brentwood supermarket, when the 2 shopped together, loaded their groceries in the same car and drove off.

It could be a co-parenting thing -- they have a 3-year-old son together -- but a shopping trip sure seems super domestic.

There were reports Hudson was hanging with "Dancing with the Stars" star Derek Hough ... but lately it seems it's all about Kate and Matt. They were in Aspen together over the holidays with their son.

Either the holidays have rekindled that flame ... or they found a REALLY good deal on macaroni and cheese.

The daughter of Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé tells TMZ Sports ... yes she's tight with Tyga -- but there's absolutely ZERO boot-knockin' going down between them.

As we previously reported, Tyga has been spending a LOT of quality time with Anjali Ranadivé (aka Anjali World) ... who happens to be an aspiring singer. The two were seen getting off a private jet together earlier this month leading to speculation they were romantically involved.

But Anjali tells us, "We're just friends and working on music together."

We're told the two met through her manager ... and Anjali says they hit it off (in a platonic and professional way) -- and have been hitting the studio together ever since.

They've already recorded one song together which they performed at a recent Kings game (see video below.)

"I look up to him musically," Anjali says ... "and I can't wait to make even more music with Tyga in the future."

Like a cheesy holiday romantic comedy ... Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran flipped their relationship back to "on" -- all because of a run-in on the eve of Christmas Eve.

Sources close to the couple tell us Chris had been trying to reconnect with Karrueche following their nasty public break-up ... but KT wasn't having it until Tuesday night at Playhouse.

We're told they chatted politely inside the nightclub until Chris asked her to go somewhere more private to talk about giving the couples thing another shot.

Karrueche agreed ... and we actually shot them on the way out of the club to go have that convo.

The final nail in the coffin came Thursday when they went to Sean Kingston's "Christmas with the Kingston's" party -- together. Based on this photo ... the talk went well. Again.

Chris Brown has gone from venomously putting Karrueche Tran on blast ... to giving her what looks like a small diamond mine.

Karrueche coyly posted the pic of her latest acquisitions ... courtesy of CB.

She's not saying if either is an engagement ring, but it's doubtful given that it's on the wrong hand.

It's certainly a major about face ... we spotted them the other night leaving Playhouse nightclub in Hollywood, the first time they've been publicly seen since their nuclear breakup.

Looks like he also gave her a pooch.

Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran loved, hated, loved, hated ... and apparently the pendulum has
swung again.

We got video of the feuding exes leaving Playhouse early Wednesday morning. The two of them walk out of the club together, but appear to leave separately.

Karrueche was hosting a holiday party and toy drive at the club and there were flyers with her mug promoting the vent, so it's not like Chris didn't know she was there.

It actually seemed like this was a split for good, after CB went on stage and screamed "F*** Karrueche!"

Will this be the final chapter? Not a chance.

She's hooked up with jocks before, but the new rumors about Khloe Kardashian dating NBA star Robin Lopez seems like BS ... so says Kim's BFF Jonathan Cheban.

Cheban -- who's super tight with all of the Kardashian sisters -- was leaving Craig's in West Hollywood last night when we asked about reports that Khloe and Robin have become an item.

"I was with her yesterday, I didn't hear anything about that," Cheban told us.

The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star said he wouldn't be shocked if Khloe eventually began dating another famous athlete ... explaining that a relationship with a normie can get pretty boring for someone on Khloe's level.

As for Robin, he also shot down the rumors this weekend ... and says the media made up the story.

"Obviously they were looking for two people with a lot of influence on popular culture, on the youth, and they were looking for two movers and shakers," Lopez said.

Kylie Jenner and her bf Tyga tried to make a quick exit during their first date night in front of the paparazzi -- but the valet ... and Tyga's fancy car had other plans.

Tylie (yeah, we said it) have been all over Instagram together, but have never been out together at a big L.A. hot spot ... until Thursday night.

Kylie tried to bolt for the passenger door, while covering her face ... but unfortunately for her ... the valet could not figure out how to open the doors on Tyga's Lambo.

They do eventually make their getaway -- but you gotta see the keystone cops routine while they try to figure out how to get in their ride.

Oh, and she's still 17 and he's still 25. Just for the record.

The ex-boyfriend of Nicki Minaj is taking their break-up INCREDIBLY hard ... to the point he's having suicidal thoughts.

Safaree Samuels is confiding in friends that he's an emotional wreck over his breakup with Nicki after a 12-year relationship. He's become a shut-in, spends days and nights smoking weed, and has talked openly about suicide.

Safaree is telling friends he won't get in touch with Nicki because she's now hooked up with Meek Mill. He says it's torture for him, because he believes Meek Mill destroyed his relationship with Nicki over false claims he cheated.

Safaree's friends say they're scared these are more than idle threats. They've urged him to see a shrink. The problem ... he's seeing one whom he says has been giving him meds that make him even more emotional.

Rihanna just got a huge gig with Puma -- and aside from maybe Puma stockholders ... no one is more excited about this than the fastest man in the world.

First, RiRi's gig -- she's been named creative director of Puma ... and a company rep says she'll not only work on designs, but also serve as a brand ambassador. She celebrated her new job by posting pics in some Puma kicks.

Now, the good stuff -- Puma's other big spokesman is, of course, Usain Bolt ... and we know the Olympic sprinter's been jonesin' to hookup with Rihanna because he told TMZ Sports about his crush last year.

We're guessing Usain's on the phone to Puma brass right now with all kinds of new promo ideas.

Rosario Dawson is here to help you kick off your weekend the right way -- by sucking serious face with "Obvious Child" star Jenny Slate.

Not that anyone requires an explanation ... but the make out sesh was set up by New York Times Magazine as an awesome year-end celebration of great acting.

They actually shot 9 different kissing scenes -- including Kristen Stewart and Chadwick Bozeman, Laura Dern and Steve Carell, and Reese Witherspoon and Benedict Cumberbatch.

But Rosario and Jenny's scene wins hands down ... as they go at it in the back seat of a convertible.

Derek Hough isn't ready to admit he's banging Kate Hudson -- but he's definitely not denying it either.

The "Dancing with The Stars" pro was in Boca Raton Thursday -- at a Tony Robbins seminar of all things -- when a photog popped the question about rumors he and newly single Kate are hooking up ... and his response is a little weird.

Hough and Huds were reportedly making out at an L.A. hot spot last Friday night -- he left out the front door, and she was spotted sneaking out the back -- sans engagement ring.

So, Derek ... if you're NOT with her ... why not just say so? Just sayin'.

Ex-NFL great Keyshawn Johnson is caught in the middle of a model's break-up with her husband -- who thinks she's been cheating with Johnson ... and has filled his court papers with lurid messages.

Alicia Tarry's husband just filed docs seeking an annulment of their 6-month marriage based on fraud. The docs include scores of Twitter direct messages Johnson and Tarry allegedly sent to each other.

The DMs include some racy language about arranging possible hook-ups between Alicia and Johnson. One DM says, "Send me a p**** shot." The response, "I'll get one in a few sorry have a guest over."

It appears Tarry's husband got hold of her phone or her Twitter account ... because one of the alleged DMs to Keyshawn -- says, "Please leave my wife Alicia alone."

Alicia tells us she did not cheat with Keyshawn, and further ... she says the DMs "appear suspicious" and were illegally obtained.

Ray J's ex-girlfriend who threatened suicide Wednesday was pushed over the edge after she found out Ray was nuzzling up to the modern day Helen of Troy ... Karrueche Tran.

Cops were called after Princess Love called Ray and threatened to shoot herself. A short time later she called him back and said she would not go through with it.

As we reported ... Ray broke up with Princess Love Tuesday night after a big fight. Now we know where he went afterward.

Ray went to a studio to shoot a New Year's Eve special for BET. Karrueche was also on the show and Ray hung out with her until 4 AM. We got a couple of pics which show they were definitely getting along.

Unclear if there's a relationship, but it's definitely a good start.

Looks like Ray J's doing some damage control ... he posted a pic with Princess Love late Wednesday night with a very poor choice of words in the caption.
