Stanley kept a pretty neutral expression as he went about his errands ... though he expressed heartfelt condolences earlier this week at the passing KISS' former guitarist.

King Kylie Jenner's court came out in full to support her cosmetics pop-up Friday night ... with her sisters leading the charge.

KJ showed off her curves in a bright pink latex dress and a matching pink wig ... really putting the HOT in hot pink.

The private investigator hired to probe Celeste Rivas' death case has made a harrowing revelation -- he thinks there was a "sadistic" plan made to "get rid" of the teen.

Check out Steve Fischer's interview on "Law&Crime Sidebar with Jesse Weber" -- he says the purported "scary" plan didn't have to do with how she died, but how her body was to be dumped following her death.

He says he can't spill much ... but thinks the original plan went wrong at some point, and that the Tesla where her dismembered corpse was found in early September was supposed to be a holding spot.

The "Only Murders in the Building" star went on ... "She can say whatever she wants. Doesn’t affect my life whatsoever. It’s just about relevance not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone. And hopefully we can all stop."

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Gucci in NYC for his big day and he admits -- despite all the hot tea that was spilled in the paperback form of "Episodes" -- he didn't need approval from any of his friends and fam for some of the juiciest bits ... they already knew the deal!!!

Gucci has lived one helluva life, emerging as one of the most stylish rappers ever, so we had to ask what his favorite fashion-week city is -- which he shamelessly answers New York City. But, you know, when in Rome ...

Bad Bunny’s been getting slammed for sitting through "God Bless America" at Yankee Stadium recently -- but "Marlins Man" tells TMZ everyone needs to calm down... because the guy didn’t break any rules.

The sports superfan (real name Laurence Leavy) says he’s pissed people are ripping Bad Bunny for this ... insisting the rapper had every right to sit, it’s not against the law, and honestly, the world’s got way bigger problems than this.

Marlins Man says he was sitting right next to BB when it all went down and, sure, he told him to stand -- but Bunny’s camp had their own reasons. His handler even brought up that 'SNL' monologue where BB joked about Americans needing "4 months to learn Spanish before the Super Bowl.”

On Friday, Saweetie sent out a firm statement, which reads ...  “The recent accusations made about me are false, defamatory, and deeply disturbing. These claims misrepresent the facts and are solely aimed to damage my reputation."

"This person never managed me. She was simply introduced to me by family. Her motives are now obvious. I’ll let the lawyers take it from here.”

Brian McKnight is already declaring a victory in his defamation case against ex-wife Julie McKnight ... after she didn't appear in court.

The R&B legend posted a video of himself smoking a cigar, saying, "The verdict is in" -- it isn't -- "according to the courts, trying to ruin my name and trying to bring harm to my family in a book filled with lies equals $8.8 million."

KISS guitarist Ace Frehley was riding high on optimism earlier this year ... thanks to a psychic who swore he’d be shredding till he hit the big 1-0-0.

In the interview, Ace also gave props to his family tree ... bragging about the great genes that kept his dad going to 96, his mom to 86, and his sister to 99 ... so he was clearly thrilled to be following suit.
