Khloe Kardashian leads a busy lifestyle, so she's making sure her first child is equipped to be a baby-on-the-go as well ... TMZ has learned.

We're told in the week leading up to Khloe giving birth, she was stocking up on items for the baby, but panicked when she realized she was low on luggage and other travel items for her daughter.

Our sources say she loaded up with about 20 items from Bev Hills baby boutique Petit Tresor -- it's a fave stop for the Kardashians. We're told Khloe dropped just under $4,000 to get a BabyZen Yoyo Travel Stroller, a Medela Pump On-The-Go Station, and a Storksak Travel Diaper Bag ... to name a few gems off her list.

It's interesting -- at the time of her purchase, we're told Khloe was anticipating a lot of back and forth trips from L.A. to Cleveland to be with her boyfriend and baby daddy, Tristan Thompson.

Scott Disick might not be keeping up with the Kardashians as much these days, but he's keeping up with the rappers he hangs out with, and the proof is hanging around his neck.

The bling spells out "Disick" in bubble letters with 2,291 diamonds, weighing in at 33.87 carats. We're told lord D dropped $80k on the pendant alone, and another $170k on the white and yellow gold chain ... which has 66.56 carats of ice!

Scott hangs with rappers like Quavo and Future, and we're told they inspired him to link up with Icebox Diamonds & Watches in Atlanta to get his own custom piece.

We're told Scott was thrilled with the final product. He better be after spending quarter of a mil!

Zsa Zsa Gabor fans are dropping some major dough on over 450 of her personal belongings -- from the most glamorous to the most ordinary ... and there's still time to spend more.

The late Hungarian beauty's property is being auctioned off at her Beverly Hills home Saturday, and a few of the featured big-ticket items have already raked in big bucks.

So far, a diamond and 14-karat gold necklace with her iconic "Dah-ling" catchphrase has fetched $20,000 ... and her Steinway piano -- featured in the film "Behind the Candelabra" -- sold for thousands more than expected at $23,750.

More of Gabor's normal possessions -- like her 1961 American passport and her 1989 California driver's licence -- sold for around $4k each.

12:00 PM PT -- Sources close to Cardi B tell us ... she ultimately decided not to hire any additional dancers and is going with her original crew to back her up.

Cardi B went on a hiring spree just days before her Coachella performance, and made a primo score -- a bunch of Beyonce's fired backup dancers.

Our Coachella sources tell us Beyonce fired about 20 of her backup dancers earlier this week. It's unclear why Bey axed the dancers -- as we told you, she's got plenty to spare -- but we're told about a dozen or so hit up Cardi's team to get into her highly-anticipated Sunday show.

Our Cardi sources tell us she already had about 16 backup dancers when the new crew came calling. We're told Cardi mulled it over, and liked the idea of making her act even more grandiose. The plan is now to hire 4 to 5 of Bey's ex-dancers, and confidence is high they'll be able to nail the choreography in time.

The set should be a huge spectacle. Cardi recently said she plunked down about $300k of her own money to cover production costs, but we're told costs swelled to as much as $450k.

Alex Rodriguez ain't no dumb jock -- he's a legit business mogul who should be a ROLE MODEL for pro athletes who wanna STAY rich after their playing days are over ... so says Kevin O'Leary.

The "Shark Tank" star says he was REALLY impressed with A-Rod when he appeared on the show last season ... saying, "The guy is, for an ex-athlete, very savvy on business."

In fact, Mr. Wonderful heaped all sorts of praise on the guy for figuring out how to invest and run a company while he was still playing ball ... so the transition was easy.

"He's kind of a model of what should happen to athletes," O'Leary says ... "Learn something while you're in the game, you've got your cash to reinvest it."

Martellus Bennett has bad news for Kanye West ... because in the battle to be the "Black Walt Disney" there can only be one, and according to Bennett HE is that one.

You might remember it was a couple of years ago that Kanye West proclaimed that it was HE who was the Black Walt Disney -- really just the next Walt Disney -- during an interview with Sway.

Bennett CRUSHED West's dreams when we got him out in NYC, telling our guy his new career as a children's book author is going to put him over the top in the race to build a chocolate Magic Kingdom.

Now we don't think he was taking a direct shot at West -- he didn't mention his name except to say that Kanye was "cool" -- question is, how will 'Ye take it?

Steve Harvey and his talk show producers are being accused of tarting up a hardworking single mom, who also happens to be a fitness model ... according to a lawsuit.

The "Steve Harvey" episode aired in April 2016, and the woman, Dominique Collier, says she had responded to a casting call for "single professional women who like to show off their looks."

She claims producers told her the show would highlight her being a professional single mom, who's also a fitness model. In her lawsuit, she says that's not how it all went down. Dominique showed up for the taping in a conservative outfit -- a long-sleeved blouse and pencil skirt -- but producers put her in a halter top and form-fitting skirt ... according to the suit.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, she says the segment included an audience vote on her looks, and responses included ... "whore," "slut," "ratchet" and "daddy issues." Dominique says she fired off a cease and desist to the show to remove the audience poll from the segment before it aired -- and even though producers obliged, she says the damage was done in front of the live audience.

She also claims they altered pics of her to make her look more provocative.

She says she felt demeaned and was backstage crying when Harvey walked up and handed her the clothing she arrived in, including her bra and undergarments.

The Game's been dabbling in the cannabis biz for a few years now, but he's about to get people even more lit with his own line of vape pens ... TMZ has learned.

The rapper's teaming with LINX Vapor to make the gear, which they're calling LINX x TREES by Game. He already has a brand of cannabis called TREES ... so, pretty easy to follow the name choices. Even if you're high.

Game's scoring $3.5 million for a 3-year licensing deal. And we're told he's projected to make another $15 to $20 mil over that period because he has a 10-percent stake in company profits.

Stan Lee just sued his ex-business manager, alleging the guy swindled him out of more than $1.4 million ... and sources tell us Stan wants $20 million to make him pay.

Stan's lawyer, Jonathan Freund, filed legal docs claiming Jerardo Olivarez set him up in disastrous business deals but more importantly ... Stan's pointing the finger at him as the guy who bought an $850k condo without Stan's permission and also may have forged a $300k check.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Stan also claims Olivarez had a nurse inject Stan with a syringe and extract his blood to sell it in Las Vegas as a collectible. What's more ... Stan claims Olivarez got him into crappy deals to sell his name and likeness. Stan claims that's caused him to get sued for millions of dollars.

TMZ broke the story ... several "Black Panther" comic books had a "Hand-Stamped Signature of STAN LEE using Stan Lee's Solvent DNA Ink" without Stan's approval, and were discovered by his friend and partner, Keya Morgan. We also first reported Stan was missing $1.4 million out of his account ... a huge chunk used for the condo.

Drake's dad is getting a sick new OVO pendant, just in time for Coachella, but it could've been swiped at LAX.

We got celeb jeweler Boodaddy Diamonds after he landed at the airport, and he immediately gave Migos serious props for their jewelry game ... which they'll definitely be rocking this weekend at the music fest.

Boo told us he'll be backstage with several artists, and revealed the special piece he was delivering to Dennis Graham. The pendant is blanketed in diamonds, and pretty stunning. Even more stunning? BD stepped away from it in the middle of the airport!!

Someone had his back, though and in the end, Dennis got his jewelry ... which he bragged on last night.

Cam Newton did a really cool thing in Atlanta on Thursday ... rolling through a DICK'S Sporting Goods store to help a bunch of Special Olympics athletes crush a $200 shopping spree!!!

We're told there were 17 athletes at the store -- all local kids (from the same area where Cam grew up) ranging in age from 5 to 18.

Each athlete got $200 to spend in the store ($3,400 in total) -- from shoes to training gear or jerseys -- and Cam made sure each kid got the best stuff!

In fact, when one of the athletes (a Golden State Warriors fan) was having trouble deciding between a Steph Curry jersey and a Kevin Durant jersey ... Cam helped the guy make up his mind.

Wanna guess which one he chose?

Tekashi69 doesn't need a huge record deal to bring in stacks because we've learned the NYC rapper just scored up to $4.9 million for his own exclusive color of headphones.

TUNES Audio tells TMZ that details are being tweaked, but as part of the deal 6ix9ine will get his own exclusive color of TUNES headphones, which will be red and promoted by the rapper. A percentage of sales will also go to charity.

As for why they're going with 6ix9ine, the company says they think he's the "new proclaimed king of NY" and they're looking to rule the headphones market.

Markelle Fultz's whip game is SERIOUSLY trailing his on-court abilities ... as the 76ers rookie found out on his way outta the arena Wednesday night.

You might've heard -- the #1 pick just dropped his 1st NBA triple-double, cappin' off his awesome late-season return for Philly.

But Markelle couldn't really bask in the moment after the game ... not after his Honda Accord got flexed on by Ben Simmons' $280k Ferrari!!

"I gotta step my game up, fellas. I got a triple-double ... it's terrible," Fultz said.

Also pictured was a near-$500k Lambo and $300k-plus Rolls-Royce. Guessing they don't all belong to Ben ... but ya never know.

The Accord, meanwhile, starts at $24k.

Justin Bieber might be back in touch with the Lord, but he apparently has no patience for would-be swindlers trying to make fake a quick buck.

Biebs was leaving L.A.'s El Rey Theatre Tuesday night -- after "An Evening With Adam Sandler" -- and a strange man was standing at his SUV waiting to hand him something -- a $100 bill, or so it seemed.

JB exchanges words with the guy, and seems to be irritated by the offer ... and then tries squeezing by him to get in his SUV. The dude holds his ground, and Bieber tells him to get the hell out of the way. The guy scrams after that ... leaving Justin with the bill.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg says in a contest with Judge Judy, her job reigns supreme.

We got the Supreme Court Justice Tuesday at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC and asked her squarely ... would she trade jobs with the famed TV jurist.

R.B.G. didn't hesitate ... a resounding no. And then she threw down some TV shade.

Pretty impressive ... Judy rakes in $47 mil a year for her TV gig, while Justice Ginsburg makes an annual salary of $251,000.

Blac Chyna has turned the world upside down ... hoity-toity Architectural Digest is featuring her meeting with a prominent architect to design her dream home.

Michael B. Lehrer, who got his pedigree from Harvard Graduate School of Design, is working with Chyna on an insane pad ... with a 10-car garage, helicopter pad, infinity pool, sex room and a bank vault. She said she got the money-room idea from Macaulay Culkin's "Richie Rich" flick. Seriously.

No mention of a nursery or kids' room for King Cairo and Dream (#priorities).

Unclear if this will just be a dream home or a reality.

The Harvard-educated architect can't be cheap ... is probably what Rob Kardashian's thinking. He's forking over $20k a month in child support ... and it wasn't long ago he was renting from Kylie.
