Ye Kim is Still My Wife ... Divorce Not Final, Yet

IT AIN'T OFFICIAL
Revolt TV / Drink Champs

As far as Kanye West is concerned, Kim Kardashian is still his wife ... and while that might still be true legally, it doesn't seem like a long-term possibility.

Ye sat down with the guys on Revolt TV's "Drink Champs" Thursday in an interview that, based on Kanye's haircut, was recorded several weeks ago. Ye talked music, money, fashion and family ... but the part about his relationship with Kim seemed to cause the most buzz.

The former Mr. West says Kim is still his wife because there "ain't no paperwork" to say otherwise. Of course, the two have been going through a divorce -- which has remained very amicable -- for several months now ... it hasn't yet been finalized, so technically Kim and Kanye still are married.

We've seen both support each other in recent career endeavors -- Kim at Ye's "Donda" listening events and Kanye joining Kim in NYC when she hosted 'SNL.'

However, through all of those things -- the divorce was still moving forward -- and most recently, Kim bought the couple's Hidden Hills estate from Kanye for $23 million ... a sure sign the divorce won't be called off.

Of course, Kim has also been hanging with Pete Davidson in the last week ... first hitting Knott's Berry Farm in CA before joining him twice in NYC for dinner.

Kanye has still not spoken publicly about Kim and Pete.

Khloe Kardashian Sends Tristan For Delish Deli Run

Khloe Kardashian sent her fiancé Tristan Thompson into a deli for a sandwich run Saturday afternoon while she sat tight in her Range Rover.

Khloe, who's about 7 months pregnant, was behind the wheel as Tristan made the trek into Lovi's deli in Calabasas.

Tristan is strictly a spectator for NBA All-Star Weekend this year. He's not playing at any events. He was wearing a pair of throwback 1996 All-Star shorts.

As for Khloe, she's due sometime in late March or early April.

As far as we know, the couple didn't hit up any of the festivities over the weekend, although Tristan did hit up a Rémy Martin MVP Weekend Party Friday night at The Avenue nightclub to watch Travis Scott perform.

BTW ... word on the street -- Lovi's is delicious.

Shots Fired?

It's no secret ... there's no love lost between Kim Kardashian and Reggie, so it's pretty interesting Brody chose to go.

Brody took a plus one ... GF Kaitlynn Carter.

So, we gotta ask ...

Kanye West on Paparazzi Why I Hate Them ... Why I Attack Them

JULY 2013
DON'T TALK TO ME!!
TMZ.com

There's a reason Kanye West hates the paparazzi so much -- it's a terrible reason -- but a reason nonetheless ... and it stems from a few rotten eggs, TMZ has learned.

It's no secret Kanye's been running on a short fuse since at least 2008, when he smashed a TMZ camera at LAX. After that, he vowed to have a more peaceful relationship with the media ... but that all changed in 2012.

Sources close to Kanye tell TMZ ... after he started getting serious with Kim Kardashian, he felt a couple of paps would cross the line and ask him inappropriate questions about their relationship in public. We're told he started to feel like certain paps were "heckling" him.

Things escalated in October 2012 during a trip to Miami ... when a local photog -- not a TMZ guy -- asked Kanye and Kim if they would be inviting Kris Humphries and Reggie Bush to their wedding.

Kanye was pissed ... and, rightfully so, felt the photog was just trying to antagonize him.

Things got worse a few months later, after Kim announced she was pregnant -- when another pap started hammering K&K about whether they would invite Ray J to the baby shower.

That, we're told, was the breaking point -- and from that moment on, Kanye decided to impose his "DON'T EVER TALK" policy on anyone with a camera.

Here's the problem ... if Kanye doesn't want to talk to a pap, that's fine -- he has that right. But when he starts attacking people and smashing camera equipment ... dude, you crossed the line.

Take this example, Kanye -- if a white person walked up to you and said the N-word, would you hate all white people??? Would you try to ATTACK every white person you encountered???

Bottom line -- we get why he's upset ... but seriously, GET OVER IT.

Kim Kardashian Bruce Is Losing It He's Met Kanye A BUNCH

Bruce Jenner's memory is disappearing faster than Kim's figure ... because the Kardashian patriarch has met Kanye West SEVERAL times, despite claiming he's only met the rapper once -- and Kim is pissed at her stepdad for saying it.

We've done our research -- and came up with at least FOUR different occasions where Bruce and Kanye were both present ... Kourtney's baby shower in May 2012, a taping of "X Factor" in November 2012, a Clippers game in December 2012, and the Kardashian family Christmas party.

The photographic evidence contradicts what Bruce told Extra this weekend ... that he only met Kanye once in his entire life, saying, "[Kanye is] not around."

We're told Kim's upset with her 63-year-old stepdad ... because Bruce makes it sound like Kanye doesn't care about the family.

And here's a clue that maybe Bruce isn't so into Kanye -- back in April, 2012, he said he was "not that excited" when Kim started dating the rapper ... because he felt Kim was rushing into a new relationship too quickly after leaving Kris Humphries.

Bad memory or bad feelings? We report ... you decide.

Rumored Kim K/Reggie B Mistress I'm No Dirty Check Forger!!!

The woman who allegedly broke up Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush is a lot of things ... but a check-forging con artist isn't one of them ... at least that's what she told the judge.

TMZ broke the story ... January Gessert -- who rose to fame in 2010 by allegedly banging Reggie while he was still dating Kim -- was arrested in March after allegedly trying to cash bogus checks.

January was subsequently charged with three felonies relating to check forgery -- but she has since pled not guilty to all of them.

She's due back in court in June.

Rumored Kim K/Reggie B Mistress BUSTED

Ever wonder what happened to the woman who allegedly broke up Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush by spreading her legs? No? Well in case you're wondering ... she was arrested for trying to pass phony checks.

January Gessert's claim to fame was allegedly banging Reggie back in 2010, while he was still dating Kim K. The former blonde denied the home-wrecking allegations and even hired Gloria Allred to clear her name.

Things have only gone downhill ... TMZ has learned a bank manager in Redondo Beach called cops on January in March, after she tried to get some loot with forged checks. She was arrested for a felony and is currently free on bail.

Sources close to January tell TMZ ... she claims it was all a misunderstanding and she's hired a lawyer to handle the situation.

Stop what you're doing ... put down the Cheetos ... and listen to the magic that is Ray J as he sings about banging Kim Kardashian ... 'cause TMZ has the first clip.

Now that you've listened -- and let's be honest it's pretty catchy -- remember why we've gathered here today ... so Ray J can remind Kanye West he's getting nothing but sloppy seconds​.

Kanye WOULD respond with a rebuttal track ... but he's too busy releasing chart-topping albums.

Ray J Serenades Kim K With 'I Hit it First' Lyrics

Ray J wants Kanye West to know ... when it comes to Kim Kardashian, Kanye's getting sloppy seconds ... because he hit it first.

As you know, Ray J famously had his way with Kim in the epic sex tape, "Kim K Superstar."

TMZ has obtained some of the hysterical lyrics to Ray J's new song, "I Hit It First," which will be released next week ... and they're awesome!

She might move on to rappers and ballplayers
But we all know I hit it first.

I had her head going North and her ass going South
But now baby chose to go West

No matter where she goes or who she knows
She still belongs in my bed.

We're told Ray J is making a music video featuring a Kim look-alike -- pre-pregnancy, we presume.

Unless he's into that kinda thing.

Kim Kardashian Sees Doctor After Stomach Pains

Kim Kardashian went to the doctor yesterday because she was having pains in her stomach, and the doc warned she needed to slow down.

We're told Kim was flying home from Paris when she started feeling "severe stomach pains" on the plane. It freaked her out and she started bawling in front of other passengers.

Sources say Kim is "stressed out" ... we're told because she's prepping for her deposition in her divorce case with Kris Humphries and she's moving to a new house.

When Kim landed she went to her doctor, who told her she had flu-like symptoms and it was not a miscarriage warning.

We're told the baby's fine. In related news, we're told Kris Kardashian has already signed her.

Kanye West Selling HUGE Bachelor Pad To Shack Up with Kim

Kanye West has JUST listed his Hollywood Hills bachelor pad ... TMZ has learned ... because he's clearing the decks to move into his new Bel Air mansion with Kim Kardashian.

Kanye's listing the 3 bedroom, 4 bath crib for $3.3 million. The house is 4,214 square feet.

Now here's the predicament ... the average list price in the area is $2.54 mil. Kanye tried in vain to sell the house in 2010 for more than $4 mil, so at least he's come down on price.

TMZ broke the story ... Kanye and Kim just bought a $9 million mansion in Bev Hills that has slightly more space -- actually, it's 14,000 square feet.

Kim and Kanye The Rich Just Get Richer

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West just made more than a million bucks in a month, but they're so rich they're not even cashing in ... TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Kim and Kanye bought a $9 million, Bel Air, CA mansion on January 30th. It hasn't even been a month, and they've received 3 offers from people who want the estate so badly ... they're willing to pay A LOT more. The highest offer -- $10.5 million.

Sources directly connected to Kim and Kanye tell TMZ ... the couple turned all 3 offers down -- they're already deep in the throes of remodeling and they plan to move in a few months from now. There's a report out that they sold the estate -- not true.

The main house will be 14,000 square feet. After all, they're having a baby.

Kim & Kanye TSA Investigating JFK Security Breach [Update]

2:00 PM PT -- A rep for American Airlines tells TMZ ... the company is taking responsibility for the incident, explaining, "This was a lapse in judgment by one of our employees."

AA adds, "We’re working closely with the TSA and speaking to the individuals involved to better understand what happened."

But the airline says the 50-minute delay wasn't ENTIRELY due to the Kimye incident ... saying, "It was delayed in part ... because a number of connecting bags were delayed getting to the aircraft."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are at the center of a TSA investigation following a major security violation at JFK yesterday ... but the TSA tells TMZ Kimye is NOT to blame.

We've learned ... K&K had taken a flight from Brazil to JFK on Tuesday, where the plan was to catch a connecting flight to Los Angeles.

But once they landed in NY, the couple met up with an airline greeter ... who, according to the TSA, allowed them to bypass a key security checkpoint to get them to their next flight as quickly as possible.

After Kim and Kanye took their seats on the L.A.-bound plane ... a TSA agent yanked them off the flight ... and made K&K go through another layer of security.

We're told the plane was delayed for roughly an hour while the couple was screened by TSA agents.

Now, the TSA tells us it wasn't Kim and Kanye's fault ...explaining, "An airline employee escorted the two travelers through a non-public area in order to provide expedited access to their domestic flight."

"In doing so, the airline employee violated security protocols by permitting the travelers to by-pass the TSA security checkpoint. TSA officials learned of the violation and conducted a private screening of the two passengers in the area of the jetway."

"The passengers were cleared to board their flight, which departed after a delay of approximately 50 minutes. TSA is actively investigating the incident."

The couple ultimately touched down in L.A. ... where they were greeted by a gaggle of paparazzi ... but seemed incredibly calm considering all they had been through.

Kim K & Kanye West Not on the Same Level as Will Smith

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are definitely below Will Smith ... at the hotel they are all staying at in Rio de Janeiro.

While Kim and Kanye took what appears to be selfies on their hotel balcony on Monday, Will and a pal enjoyed the view from the room one floor above them.

Earlier in the week, Kim, Kanye and Will were all spotted together on a local walking tour.

The three of them are in town celebrating the world famous Carnival festival which ends today on Fat Tuesday.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West First, Bel Air ... THEN THE WORLD!!!

An $11,000,000 mansion in Bel Air might be enough for some people, but not Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ... because TMZ has learned they have their sights set on buying THREE other multi-million dollar mansions across the globe.

As TMZ first reported, KK and KW plunked down a huge chunk of change to build a 14,000-square-foot pad in an über-private, gated community in Bel Air, CA.

But sources close to the couple tell TMZ they aren't stopping there. We're told they plan to buy homes in New York, Miami and Paris too -- and, no it's not a coincidence those are all centers of the fashion industry. Also, the Kardashians have DASH stores in all, but Paris.

Kim and Kanye have been in Brazil the last few days, and there are rumors they're looking to scoop up a home there too -- but we're told that wasn't the plan ... they were just meeting an architect they might hire for their Bel Air pad.

However, our sources say the Brazil trip has been so enjoyable ... they're now open to buying a place there too.

Must be nice.
