Lauren Sanchez was looking fresh-faced and ready to take on the day during a hand-in-hand stroll with fiancé Jeff Bezos in St. Barts ... after some wild celebrations for her 54th birthday.

The soon-to-be billionaire wife paraded her curves Sunday ... opting for her signature engagement-ring flashing look in a barely-there Chanel crop top and teeny-tiny shorts.

She was clearly lovin' the spotlight ... pouting away during the excursion with Jeff.

The media personality's birthday is Tuesday -- though she was clearly intent on starting festivities early -- no doubt hoping to ring in her milestone year, which included her engagement and a Vogue spread.

Lauren's been painting the town red, almost literally, sharing an IG snap of herself and pals dolled up in sexy scarlet 'fits.

She expressed gratitude at celebrating her birthday with her girl gang ... saying she considers them family and loves them deeply.

Lauren added she always has a lot of fun with them, which seems clear based on reports of her squad letting their hair down Fri night ... with LS busting out her best dance moves on top of a table.

They add that other notable figures were present ... including movie producer Brian Glazer, media mogul David Geffen, IAC head Barry Diller, MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor -- and Lauren's sister Elena.

During their stay at the Caribbean island, Lauren is hunkering down with Jeff aboard this $500 million superyacht, Koru.

One auctioneer is royally out of pocket ... shelling out a record-breaking $1.1 million on an evening dress once worn by Princess Diana.

Diana famously took the Jacques Azagury-designed evening gown out for a spin in Florence, Italy, on April 23, 1985 ... and close to 4 decades later, the frock has been sold for a whopping $1,148,080.

The final figure was 11 times more than what it was expected to rake in ... having been initially listed for an estimate of $100,000 - $200,000 on Julien's Auction.

It was the top-selling item of the auction house's 4-day "Hollywood Legends" sale -- also breaking the world record for the most expensive dress worn by the late Princess sold at auction.

It's a stunning gown ... complete with celestial-print embroidery, a large bow, and on-trend shoulder pads -- and long before Kate Middleton became the queen of recycling, Princess Diana wore it again to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra in 1986.

This dress was so influential it was also displayed at London's Kensington Palace for their Fashion Rules exhibit from July 4, 2013, to July 10, 2015.

Un subastador dio un gran salto al pagar la cifra récord de 1.1 millones de dólares por un vestido de noche que lució la princesa Diana.

El famoso vestido del diseñador Jacques Azagury de Diana, fue utilizado por la célebre princesa durante la noche para dar una vuelta en Florencia, Italia, el 23 de abril de 1985. Cuatro décadas más tarde, el vestido se ha vendido por $1.148.080.

La cifra final fue 11 veces más de lo que se esperaba. La oferta inicial era de $100.000 - $200.000 en la subasta de Julien.

Fue el artículo más vendido de la casa de subastas de 4 días llamada "Hollywood Legends". Además rompió el récord mundial para el vestido más caro usado por la fallecida princesa vendido en una subasta.

Es un vestido completo con bordados de estampado celestial, un gran lazo y hombreras de moda, y mucho antes de que Kate Middleton se convirtiera en la reina del reciclaje, la princesa Diana lo llevó de nuevo a la Orquesta Sinfónica de Vancouver en 1986.

Este vestido fue tan influyente que también se exhibió en el Palacio de Kensington de Londres para su exposición Fashion Rules del 4 de julio de 2013 al 10 de julio de 2015.

"Squid Game: The Challenge" winner Mai Whelan, AKA Player 287, was always destined to kick butt in the high-stakes series ... given her status as a decorated navy vet.

Mai briefly touched upon her 20-year service on the show ... but the 56-year-old was humble with her achievements -- and now we can reveal the full extent of the prestigious military awards with which she's been honored.

Mai has bagged a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal ... given to those who've served on active duty during a designated anti-terrorism operation for a minimum of 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days.

She's also in possession of 5 Joint Service Achievement Medals ... awarded to those below the grade of captain in the Navy ... who, while assigned to a joint activity, distinguish themselves by outstanding achievement or meritorious service.

Meanwhile, Mai's Navy "E" Ribbon is a nod to her permanent duty aboard a U.S. Navy ship or in a unit that won a battle efficiency competition. She also has 5 Good Conduct Medals for 3 consecutive years of "honorable and faithful service."

If that wasn't impressive enough, Mai has also been honored with a Meritorious Unit Commendation, two National Defense Service Medals, 4 Sea Service Deployment Ribbons, 5 Overseas Service Ribbons, a NATO Medal and is an Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist.

Mai came to the States in 1975 after escaping Vietnam as a young girl during the communist regime ... joined the US Navy at 18 and served for 20 years between 1985 and 2005. She spent time stationed in Florida, London, Italy, Hawaii, Mississippi, and South Carolina.

Kim Kardashian has her medulla oblongata at the forefront of her mind for the holidays -- and the reason is she got a wacky gift ... a life-sized replica of her noodle!

The reality star posted a couple videos over the weekend showing off this Christmas present she says she received from a company called Prenuvo -- which does full-body scans, and which actually hosted Kim and some other family members to do a diagnostic screening.

Looks like they used the imaging they got of her brain, and sent her a 3D model of it for the holidays ... and from what we can tell, Kim's impressed with the thoughtful gesture.

Kim actually worked with Prenuvo earlier in the year, and encouraged people to plunk down for the company's scan ... noting it could detect something you might not normally catch. The only problem, for some, is that it's pricey -- about $2,500 per scan.

Might not be something everyone can afford, but Kim sure sounds thankful she got it done.

Las zapatillas llevan los logotipos de Nike Swoosh oscurecidos y el famoso logotipo Cactus Jack del rapero, además de la marca Air Jordan y el reciente álbum de Travis "Utopia".

Las zapatillas están a la venta en la subasta de cultura pop de Goldin Auctions del mes de diciembre y la puja durará hasta el 20 de diciembre, así que podría ser un buen regalo de Navidad. La casa de subastas estima que podrían llegar a costar unos 10.000 dólares.

The stage-worn shoes feature blacked-out Nike Swoosh logos and the rapper's famous Cactus Jack logo, plus branding for Air Jordan and Travis' recent "Utopia" album.

Travis wore the shoes for his set at the 2023 Rolling Loud Festival in Munich, Germany, where he brought a fan onstage and gifted him the custom Jordans.

The kicks are up for sale through Goldin Auctions' December Pop Culture Auction ... and the bidding runs through Dec. 20 ... so they could make for a cool Christmas gift. The auction house estimates that they could go for around $10k.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's valuable assets could be on the auction block soon ... in order to satisfy a nearly $10 million judgment against him by a stripper who claims he hit her in the head with a bottle of champagne.

According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, a receiver has been appointed to take control of the rapper's assets -- items like his Rolls-Royce and his Florida mansion -- and sell off whatever is necessary to pay the $9.825 million judgment.

Dancer Alexis Salaberrios got the hefty judgment back in July ... more than 2 years after she initially filed the lawsuit ... but it hasn't been paid, which is why she got the judge to appoint a receiver to liquidate Tekashi's stuff.

The receiver has lots of power-- allowed to "break any locks necessary to gain access to any real property."

TMZ broke the story, Tekashi was sued by Alexis in 2021 after allegedly hitting her in the head inside Gold Rush Cabaret in Miami. Her attorney told us he tried hitting someone else for calling him a rat, but he missed and clocked Alexis instead.

According to Salaberrios, the injuries resulted in a trip to the ER, and she had to get several staples to close the wound.

Tekashi's attorney, Lance Lazzaro, scoffed at her claims, saying "It’s an attempt to shake him down."

We've reached out to Tekashi's camp for comment ... so far, no word back.

Tekashi 6ix9ine va a tener que desembolsar una gran suma con el fin de satisfacer una sentencia de casi $10 millones contra él por una stripper que afirma que la golpeó en la cabeza con una botella de espumante.

Según los nuevos documentos, obtenidos por TMZ, un administrador ha sido nombrado para tomar el control de los activos del rapero. Artículos como su Rolls-Royce y su mansión de Florida, y vender lo que sea necesario para pagar la sentencia de $9.825 millones.

La Bailarina Alexis Salaberrios tiene la sentencia en julio, más de dos años después de que presentara la demanda. La demanda no se ha pagado, por lo que consiguió que el juez asignara a un administrador para vender las cosas de Tekashi.

El administrador tiene mucho poder, se le permite "romper cualquier cerradura necesaria para acceder a cualquier propiedad".

TMZ publicó la historia, Tekashi fue demandado por Alexis en 2021 después de supuestamente golpearla en la cabeza dentro de Gold Rush Cabaret en Miami. Su abogado nos dijo que trató de golpear a otra persona por llamarlo rata, pero falló y golpeó a Alexis en su lugar.

Según Salaberrios, las lesiones provocaron un viaje a urgencias, y tuvo que recibir varias grapas para cerrar la herida.

El abogado de Tekashi, Lance Lazzaro, se burló de sus afirmaciones, diciendo: "Es un intento de hacerlo caer".

Nos hemos puesto en contacto con el campamento de Tekashi para hacer comentarios, hasta ahora, no hay respuesta.

Timothée Chalamet va camino a convertirse en el número 1 de taquilla este fin de semana con su nueva película "Wonka", y aunque las cifras hasta ahora son impresionantes Johnny Depp sigue reinando.

Los números del primer día se inclinan para la última película de Timmy y como hemos dicho son bastante sólidos y prometen ver al actor y a Warner Bros. recaudar entre $35 y $40 millones a nivel nacional cuando llegue el domingo.

Entre los preestrenos del jueves y el día completo de proyecciones del viernes, "Wonka" ha ganado unos $14,4 millones hasta el momento, lo que sitúa a la película muy por delante de la competencia. Francamente, no hay mucho en su camino, solo un montón de películas independientes y filmes de semanas anteriores, por lo que Tim tiene el camino relativamente asegurado para dominar la venta de entradas.

Por supuesto, algunos querían saber cómo le iba a ir en comparación con las otras películas de "Wonka", concretamente con la versión de Johnny Depp, que es la más reciente.

Como era de esperar, las cifras de TC (reales/proyectadas) no logran acercarse a las de Johnny y Tim Burton. "Charlie y la fábrica de chocolate", de 2005, hizo bastante más dinero en su momento, tanto en su primer día oficial como en su fin de semana de estreno a nivel nacional.

Las cifras del primer día de la película de Johnny Depp fueron de unos 20 millones de dólares, y durante el fin de semana, de unos 56 millones. Durante toda su proyección en cines, el filme arrastró más de $206 millones.

En otras palabras, el Wonka de Johnny sigue siendo el rey en términos de dinero en efectivo e incluso críticamente se mantiene bien. Lo mismo ocurre con Timothee, por cierto, su última película "Wonka" tiene un respetable 84% en Rotten Tomatoes, similar al 83% de Johnny Depp en 2005.

Ahora, hay un contexto de por qué los números de taquilla de Tim podrían no ser tan fuertes como en 2023 y es el hecho de que la gente simplemente no va al cine de la misma manera que antes. Así que considerando todo, la nueva "Wonka" está bastante bien para esta era moderna, especialmente en esta economía.

Ah, y si se están preguntando dónde queda el Gene Wilder original en toda esta historia, a su versión de 1971 no le fue muy bien en taquilla en ese momento. Solo recaudó unos $4 millones en todo el país ($22 millones ajustados a la inflación).

Timothée Chalamet is on his way to #1 at the box office this weekend with his new "Wonka" movie -- and while the figures so far are impressive ... Johnny Depp still reigns supreme.

The first-day numbers are in for Timmy's latest flick, and like we said ... they're quite solid heading into the weekend and promise to see him and WB raking in somewhere between $35-$40 million domestically by the time Sunday rolls around.

Between Thursday previews and Friday's full day of showings, "Wonka" has earned about $14.4 million thus far -- which, again, puts the family-friendly film well ahead of the competition. Frankly, there isn't much standing in its way -- just a bunch of indie films and leftovers from weeks prior ... so Tim has a relatively clear path to dominate ticket sales.

Of course, some wanted to see how he'd fare compared to the old 'Wonka' movies -- specifically, against JD's version from back in the 2000s, the most recent iteration.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, TC's numbers (real/projected) don't hold a candle to Johnny and Tim Burton -- '05's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" made quite a bit more money at the time ... both in its first official day as well as what it earned in its opening weekend domestically.

First-day numbers for JD's movie were about $20 mil at the time, and through the weekend ... about $56 mil. Through its entire theatrical run, 'CATCF' hauled in more than $206 mil.

In other words, Johnny's Wonka is still king in terms of cold hard cash -- and even critically ... it held its own in the reviews. Same goes for Timothee BTW ... his latest "Wonka" flick has a respectable 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, similar to JD's 83% for his 2005 offering.

Now, there is context for why Tim's box office numbers might not be as strong in 2023 -- fact is, people just aren't going to the movies the way they used to ... so all things considered, the "Wonka" haul is actually pretty damn good in the modern era, especially in this economy.

Oh, and if you're wondering where the OG Gene Wilder fits into this whole box office juxtaposition -- his 1971 version didn't do all that great at the box office at the time. It only made about $4 million domestically through its whole run ($22 mil adjusted for inflation).

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are back to their squabbling ways ... with things so toxic their marriage is now completely beyond repair ... so say sources close to them.

Our sources tell TMZ, the pair's latest falling out doesn't have anything to do with the newly released police body cam footage emerging of their explosive fight from Nov. 20 -- instead, it's over their continued money woes, their home, and the overall state of their marriage.

The pair appeared to have reconciled after the explosive incident at their home ... even enjoying a hibachi lunch date ... though, it didn't last long.

In fact, our sources say their close friends say no amount of therapy will fix things between them ... they just need to accept that and move on with their lives separately -- adding it's the healthiest thing that can happen for them and their kids.

One of their kids actually made the 911 call alerting cops to their infamous fight weeks at their home earlier ... and recently released footage showing police struggling to calm down a fuming Kroy.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están de vuelta con sus peleas, pero las cosas son tan tóxicas que su matrimonio ya es completamente irreparable, o eso dicen fuentes cercanas a ellos.

Nuestras fuentes dicen a TMZ que la última pelea de la pareja no tiene nada que ver con el reciente registro policial que se publicó y muestra su explosiva pelea del 20 de noviembre. Las discusiones son sobre sus continuos problemas de dinero, su casa y el estado general de su matrimonio.

La pareja parecía haberse reconciliado después del explosivo incidente en su casa, incluso disfrutando de un rico almuerzo hibachi. Sin embargo, la paz no duró mucho tiempo.

De hecho, nuestras fuentes dicen que sus amigos cercanos dicen que ninguna terapia puede arreglar las cosas entre ellos y solo tienen que aceptarlo y seguir adelante con sus vidas por separado, añadiendo que es lo más saludable para ellos y sus hijos.

Uno de sus hijos, de hecho, hizo la llamada al 911 para alertar a la policía de su fuerte pelea en casa, y recientemente imágenes que publicamos muestran cómo la policía intenta calmar a un Kroy evidentemente exaltado.

Diddy is wishing his late partner Kim Porter a happy birthday amid his growing legal troubles involving multiple sexual assault allegations.

In an Instagram post Friday night, Diddy wrote, “We miss you so much Kim! Happy Birthday Beautiful! Love forever.” He accompanied the caption with an old photo of him giving Kim a big smooch on the cheek.

As you know, Kim died from pneumonia after she became bedridden due to a lung infection at her L.A. home in 2018. She was 47.

Diddy and Kim dated on and off for 13 years, sharing three children: son Christian and twin sisters D’Lila Star and Jessie James. Over the years, Diddy has spoken passionately about his love for Kim and, after her death, he revealed his regret for not tying the knot with her.

Meanwhile, Diddy is dealing with a ton of legal issues around claims that he sexually assaulted several women. His former girlfriend, Cassie, was first to file a bombshell lawsuit against the music legend in November, accusing him of years of rape and sexual abuse. The two quickly settled the matter.

But then Diddy was hit with other civil suits containing similar allegations. Those suits are still winding their way through the courts.

Diddy le deseó un feliz cumpleaños a su difunta pareja Kim Porter en medio de sus crecientes problemas legales relacionados con múltiples acusaciones de agresión sexual.

En un post de Instagram del viernes en la noche, Diddy escribió: "¡Te echamos mucho de menos, Kim! ¡Feliz cumpleaños, preciosa! Amor para siempre". Acompañó el pie de foto con una vieja foto de él dándole un gran beso a Kim en la mejilla.

Como se sabe, Kim murió de neumonía después de quedar postrada en cama debido a una infección pulmonar en su casa de Los Ángeles en 2018. Tenía 47 años.

Diddy y Kim salieron de forma intermitente durante 13 años, compartiendo tres hijos: Christian y las hermanas gemelas D'Lila Star y Jessie James. A lo largo de los años, Diddy ha hablado apasionadamente sobre su amor por Kim y después de su muerte reveló que se arrepentía de no haberse casado con ella.

Mientras tanto, Diddy está lidiando con un montón de problemas legales por las denuncias de agresión sexual contra varias mujeres. Su ex novia Cassie fue la primera en presentar una demanda contra la leyenda de la música en noviembre, acusándolo de años de violación y abuso sexual. Ambos llegaron rápidamente a un acuerdo.

Sin embargo, desde entonces Diddy ha sido golpeado con otras demandas civiles que contienen acusaciones similares. Estas siguen su curso en los tribunales.

Darius McCrary was arrested last month for failure to pay child support ... this according to jail records obtained by TMZ.

The "Family Matters" star -- who is dad to two daughters and one son -- was booked on November 27 on a felony count of failure to pay child support.

According to court docs, he had an outstanding arrearage of $52,788.04 as of March 12, 2019.

McCrary pled not guilty at his arraignment, and the judge set his bond conditions at $13,197.01 and being monitored by a GPS device.

Online records show he still remains behind bars.

This isn't the first time Darius has been accused of failing to pay child support ... he was arrested back in 2015 on a similar charge before coughing up around $5,500 in back support.

Two years later, the struggling actor claimed he only made $500 during the previous year ... rendering him unable to pay child support to help out his then-estranged wife, Tammy Brawner.
