Kim Kardashian and Kanye West showed up for their son Saint's basketball game Friday night – and the former couple came together and did their best to hide the multitude of issues between them.

Kanye arrived separately from Kim and their daughter, Chicago, at the sporting event in LA Friday night. While rooting on Saint during the match-up, Kim and Kanye had an interaction, which was photographed by paparazzi.

Check out the images, obtained by TMZ ... Kim is standing beside Kanye with Chicago between them, talking to the rapper about something. What they discussed is anyone's guess.

Other pictures captured the exes sitting in the same row but several chairs apart with Kanye texting on his phone and Kim chatting with Saint. Their other kids -- North and Psalm — did not attend the game.

As we reported, Kim and Kanye finalized their divorce in 2022 after 7 years of marriage and have been co-parenting ever since. The pair have reunited before at various gatherings, but only in support of their children.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... behind the scenes there have been problems with various child-rearing issues ... where Kim and Kanye don't see eye to eye. And, we're told, Kim is super upset over Kanye's latest torrent of antisemitic rants, praising Hitler and the Nazis.

Kim y Kanye Tienen una fría interacción... Durante un partido de Saint

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian y Kanye West se presentaron para el partido de básquetbol de su hijo Saint el viernes por la noche e hicieron todo lo posible por ocultar la gran cantidad de problemas que hay entre ellos.

Kanye llegó por separado de Kim y su hija, Chicago, al evento deportivo de Los Ángeles. Mientras animaban a Saint durante el partido, ambos tuvieron una interacción, que fue fotografiada por los paparazzi.

Echa un vistazo a las imágenes obtenidas por TMZ. Kim está de pie junto a Kanye con Chicago entre ellos, hablando con el rapero sobre algo. Lo que discutieron es una incógnita.

Apoyando a Saint

Otras imágenes capturaron a los ex sentados en la misma fila, aunque había varias sillas de distancia entre ellos. Kanye estaba enviando mensajes de texto en su teléfono y Kim estaba charlando con Saint. Sus otros hijos, North y Psalm, no asistieron al partido.

Como informamos, Kim y Kanye pusieron fin a su divorcio en 2022 después de 7 años de matrimonio y desde entonces han criado a sus hijos juntos. La pareja se ha encontrado antes para otras reuniones, pero solo para apoyar a sus hijos.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que detrás de cámaras ha habido varios problemas respecto a la crianza de sus hijos, en los que Kim y Kanye no se ven cara a cara. Y nos dicen que Kim está súper molesta por la última diatriba antisemita de Kanye, alabando a Hitler y los nazis.

Están haciendo todo lo posible, pero es claramente un desafío.

Published | Updated

Paris Fashion Week is currently going full steam ahead ... and several of hip hop's flyest are illuminating the City of Light with their flashiest drip!!!

Chris Brown, Quavo, Rich The Kid, Pharrell, Pusha T, and IDK were among the artists hobnobbing at various events and runways for brands such as Amiri, Kenzo, Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton ... style sold separately, of course.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Breezy actually didn't need a catwalk to pull off a modeling look ... he looked snackable in the streets.

Pharrell has been earning rave reviews for his role as LV's men's creative director and gaining celebrity support all across the board ... Venus Williams, Lil Yachty, Bradley Cooper all supported him at his latest show.

Westside Gunn told TMZ Hip Hop going to PFW was a pivotal moment for his career ... the rapper network overseas is strong, and he was able to forge partnerships with the likes of the late Virgil Abloh and Pop Smoke.

Lupe Fiasco Can't Wait to Beat Cudi's Ass!!! 👊🏾 Lil Bitch Don't Live Like Me

Published

Kid Cudi's latest interview might have cemented his reunion with Kanye West -- but it also opened up a new can of worms with Lupe Fiasco, who's spiraling with thoughts of beating up Cudi!!!

Cudi recently poked the Lupe bear while talking to Apple's Zane Lowe -- he was revisiting his pre-fame days when he was just a lowly employee working at the Bape store.

NOBODY'S DISS TRACK

One day, Lupe came in to shop and Cudi admits he hid in the stockroom until the "Kick, Push" rapper skedaddled. He was banking on becoming a bigtime rapper, and never wanted Lupe to hold that encounter over his head.

Cudi also acknowledged Lupe had a deep hatred for him, so he doesn't regret ducking him.

Lupe wasn't feeling story time with Cudi, and angrily hopped on X to call Cudi all types of bitches and other names, most of which Oprah would disapprove.

According to Lupe, the two used to be chummy, but when Cudi questioned his motives for offering fans featured verses for a discounted rate, Lupe felt Cudi exposed his true colors. Ever since then, Lupe's been looking to serve him a fade.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED

It's crazy how the same interview also pushed peace ... Cudi explained that Ye's apology to him was enough to soften his heart, and kids very well might see ghosts once again.

We're sure Celebrity Boxing would make Cudi and Lupe a generous offer to settle their differences. They could also battle rap for a big bag like Jim Jones is doing.

Kanye West Rocks Burzum Shirt ... Neo-Nazi Singer's Face Plastered

Published | Updated

Kanye West seems to be embracing Nazi sentiments yet again -- this time wearing a shirt with the face of a self-proclaimed neo-Nazi who's very well known in the metal scene.

Rapper JPEGMAFIA posted a pic Friday showing him standing next to Ye ... with the latter flashing his new platinum "teeth" and JPEG just muggin'. Just a few days ago, JPEG was publicly griping that KW wasn't acknowledging his talents in the studio ... now, this.

On its face, it looks like he and Ye made peace and came together for this photo-op -- but the bigger takeaway is Yeezy's wardrobe here ... specifically, what he's wearing up top.

It's a band T-shirt for the Norwegian black metal group BURZUM, and a photo of their lead singer Varg Vikernes plastered right below. The problem ... Varg is a known antisemite, something that's been well-documented in his career, for which he's faced legal trouble too.

The question ... why the hell is Ye wearing a shirt with a known neo-Nazi on it???

Of course, Kanye himself has been embroiled in nonstop controversy over the past year and change as it pertains to antisemitism -- and while he has attempted to walk those statements back of late, here he is within the past day or so rockin' a freaking BURZUM shirt.

It's possible Ye doesn't know about Varg's neo-Nazi ties -- but frankly, it's way too much of a coincidence considering the timing of everything. There's also an album cover connection.

When Kanye revealed the cover art for his new album "Vultures" ... folks quickly noticed that it looked very similar to BURZUM's album cover art over the years -- like, down to a T almost.

Now, if Kanye is aware who Varg is and what his ugly history entails -- which many suspect to be the case -- it would certainly seem to lend more credence to the notion that his apology in Hebrew last month was ... well, kinda meaningless.

We already shed light on the fact that his mea culpa may well have been generated by AI -- and remember, we just reported that he was said to have recorded some lengthy new apology on camera quite recently ... which we're told was rambling and all over the place.

With this latest development ... we're not really sure Kanye where stands on all this. On its face, though ... it would appear not much has changed in terms of how he feels about Jews.

Kanye West Usa una camiseta con la cara de un neonazi confeso

Published

Kanye West parece estar abrazando sus sentimientos nazis de nuevo, esta vez usando una camiseta con la cara de un autoproclamado neonazi muy conocido en la escena del metal.

El rapero JPEGMAFIA publicó el viernes una foto en la que aparece de pie junto a Ye, con este mostrando sus nuevos "dientes" de platino. Hace apenas unos días, JPEG se quejaba públicamente de que Kanye no estaba reconociendo su talento en el estudio y ahora esto.

Por sus caras, parece que él y Ye hicieron las paces y se reunieron para esta foto, pero lo más importante es el vestuario de Yeezy, específicamente lo que lleva en la parte superior.

Esta es una camiseta del grupo noruego de black metal BURZUM y una foto de su vocalista Varg Vikernes justo debajo. El problema es que Varg es un conocido antisemita, algo que ha sido bien documentado en su carrera y que le ha causado problemas legales también.

La pregunta es, ¿por qué demonios Ye lleva una camiseta con un conocido neonazi?

Por supuesto, el propio Kanye ha estado envuelto en la controversia sin parar durante el último año en lo que respecta al antisemitismo y sus cambios de opinión. Aunque ha tratado de retractarse de esas declaraciones en el último tiempo, aquí está de nuevo, usando una camiseta de BURZUM.

Es posible que Ye no sepa nada de los lazos neonazis de Varg, pero francamente, es demasiada coincidencia teniendo en cuenta el momento en que se produce todo esto. También hay una conexión con la portada del álbum.

Cuando Kanye reveló el arte de su nuevo álbum "Vultures", las personas rápidamente se dieron cuenta de que se parecía mucho al de la portada del álbum de BURZUM en los últimos años, quizás demasiado parecida.

Ahora, si Kanye es consciente de quién es Varg y su historia, que muchos sospechan es el caso, sin duda parece dar más credibilidad a la idea de que su disculpa en hebreo el mes pasado no tenía ningún sentido.

Ya hemos arrojado luz sobre el hecho de que su mea culpa bien pudo haber sido generado por IA y recuerden, acabamos de informar de que grabó una larga nueva disculpa en cámara hace muy poco, donde se dice que estaba divagando y todo eso.

Con este último desarrollo, no estamos realmente seguros de lo que piensa Kanye en todo esto. A primera vista, sin embargo, parece que no ha cambiado mucho en términos de cómo se siente acerca de los judíos.

Buffalo Bills Selling T Swift-Themed Food At Chiefs Game ... Karma Is A Quesadilla!!!

Published | Updated

Bills and Chiefs fans with a blank space in their tummies are in luck this weekend  ... Buffalo's food service partner just revealed it's going to sell some Taylor Swift-themed snacks at the big game Sunday!!

Delaware North -- which has brought tasty treats to Highmark Stadium all season long -- announced this week it's packing two new options for the divisional round playoff game against Kansas City with odes to Swift in them.

One of the meals is called the "Bad Blood waffle fries" ... and it features two feet of fries topped with a grip of Buffalo and Kansas City food staples -- including blue cheese and BBQ pork.

The other option is named the "Karma Quesadilla" ... and it's got chicken tenders, bacon and pork belly all over it.

It's not quite clear if Swift will get the opportunity to enjoy the grub -- it hasn't been confirmed yet if she'll make the trek to Orchard Park to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. But, considering she battled the snow to catch his game last weekend against the Miami Dolphins, it seems like it's a good bet.

What's interesting, the team has yet to make a food option with a nod to Josh Allen's GF, Hailee Steinfeld ... though something tells us if the home squad gets the win over K.C., Bills Mafia will not care less.

Michael Jackson Estate Beefing With Vegas Tribute Show

Published | Updated

update

2:27 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... The Micheal Jackson estate hasn't tried to shutdown "MJ Live" during its run in Nevada due to state laws protecting impersonator shows. However, Michael's estate is now taking action because they view the show as low class and don't want it running in states like California, New York and others. Plus, the estate is already behind "MJ: The Musical" which is currently on Broadway.

A Michael Jackson tribute show in Las Vegas says the late singer's estate is trying to shut down their show ... and now they're duking it out in court.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the folks behind the "MJ Live" show at the Tropicana claim the Michael Jackson estate recently began sending cease and desist letters threatening them with legal action over the show, claiming it's using the estate's trademarks without permission.

Thing is ... "MJ Live" claims they've been doing their thing for well over a decade -- performing for over 2.5 million people -- and the estate has only recently started making legal threats. In other words, they're suggesting this came out of nowhere ... unjustly.

In the docs, "MJ Live" says the act is going on the road and Michael's estate is trying to shut down shows scheduled at venues in California, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin.

Meanwhile, the tribute show points out the estate is starting up a tour of its new Broadway show, "MJ: The Musical" ... suggesting the timing of the legal beef may be related to the estate trying to cash in with their own MJ show.

They even go so far as to claim that the MJ estate is actually the one infringing on their own intellectual property with "MJ: the Musical" ... basically arguing, they were their first doing their own thing -- and that their brand as "MJ Live" has established its own reputation/brand.

Anyway, the "MJ Live" producers want a judge to declare that the art they use to promote their show doesn't infringe on the estate's trademarks because their artwork is distinct and causes no confusion to the public.

A rep for MJ's estate tells TMZ, "This lawsuit -- including the claim that this impersonator show somehow owns a ‘trademark’ in ‘MJ,’ a trademark owned by Michael Jackson’s Estate and long associated with Michael and his Estate -- is beyond frivolous. The Estate, as always, will vigorously defend all intellectual property rights of Michael Jackson."

Saweetie clearly wasn't capping about switching her focus to her music after her YG split -- the Icy Girl has laced up her studio cleats for an official San Francisco 49ers stadium anthem!!!

On Friday, Saweetie and her Bay Area bro P-Lo went half on a new song titled "Do It For The Bay," just in time for their squad's upcoming divisional round matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

The track's tailor-made for touchdowns and hurls a shoutout to everything from the coastline to their Bay Area OG, E-40 ... who's also a 49ers diehard.

The 49ers' Sr. Brand Marketing Director Allie Dicken says the rappers captured The Bay's core values with their collab ... any boost they can get is valuable.

The Packers just toppled the Dallas Cowboys after being picked as the underdog ... it's gonna be a tough battle on the field!!!

Earlier in the week, Saweetie and YG revealed they mutually ended their relationship of roughly 7 months, mainly because they're too busy with their careers.

Carving out hits for the NFL will take up most of your time!!!

Richie Rich F*** California ... They're Pimpin' This Place Out To Newcomers!!!

Published

One of Tupac Shakur's closest homeboys isn't feeling much "California Love" these days -- Richie Rich, a seasoned veteran of the rap game, is deflecting from the entire Golden State!!!

011924-richie-rich-kal
BYE-BYE, CALI

In a fiery IG post, Richie totally trashed Cali's politicians -- local and statewide -- for their ongoing programs that fund the pockets of its citizens NOT native to the land.

The Oakland-born rapper says living in Cali has become too expensive for his blood ... the cost of living has gone up while the chances of survival have slimmed -- no reason to stick around any longer.

Cali lawmakers recently passed a bill to allow funding for undocumented senior citizens and also have assistance programs for California's homeless population -- which had the biggest uptick in all the states, reportedly growing 6% in 2023.

Cali's population has dropped for 3 years straight, and Richie says he's too heavy in the game to watch handouts slap him in the face left and right.

He's not the only artist who's been vocal about leaving CA in the dust -- Chris Brown announced last year he was also hidden for someone else's hills ... no word yet if he's actually bounced, though.

Zedd Selling One Of My Encino Estates ... Used To Be Joe & Sophie's

Published | Updated

Zedd is looking to make another real estate splash in Encino ... because he's trying to unload the estate he bought from Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner.

The DJ just listed a 6-bedroom estate in Encino for $18,999,000 ... it's 14,779 square feet and the place is super lavish.

The mansion has all the bells and whistles ... like a gym, sauna, massage room, home theater, pub and wine cellar ... plus an outdoor kitchen, putting green and a swimming pool.

Zedd bought the place from Joe and Sophie back in 2021 for $15.2 million ... and it also features a professional music studio and vocal booth

The primary suite has a spa bathroom, massive dual walk-in closets and a wraparound terrace. There are 5 guest bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathroom.

Zedd's got another sprawling estate in Encino ... so it looks like he's content with owning just one mansion there. Both homes were designed and developed by renowned architect Jae Omar.

TMZ broke the story ... Zedd dropped $18.4 million on a modern mansion in Encino back in November in what was, at the time, Encino's most expensive home sale of the year.

David Kramer and Andrew Buss of Hilton & Hyland hold the listing.

Janis Joplin Compren mi antigua mesa de billar Llega al mercado para su cumpleaños 81

Published | Updated

Hay un pedazo del corazón de Janis Joplin que acaba de llegar a las subastas: una antigua mesa de billar que la cantante guardaba en su casa de California y cuya venta coincide con su cumpleaños.

La Reina del Rock & Roll fue una gran jugadora de billar cuando no estaba sobre los escenarios en la década de los 60. Le gustaba jugar al pool, beber cerveza y pasar el rato en las salas de billar. Por eso, cuando Janis compró una casa en Larkspur, California en 1969, puso una mesa de billar de época en una habitación.

Ahora, en lo que habría sido el cumpleaños número 81 de Janis, Subastas de Julien está anunciando la venta de su mesa de billar, una Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. Monarca Cushion de la década de 1920.

Janis se mudó a su casa de una sola planta en Larkspur en 1969, casi un año antes de su fatal sobredosis en Hollywood, y la mesa de billar ha permanecido en la misma habitación de su casa desde entonces.

Janis Joplin y sus amigos fueron fotografiados usando la mesa para una icónica edición de agosto de 1970 de la revista Rolling Stone. Ella estaba en la portada y una copia de esa edición también está incluida en la venta.

La oferta de apertura comienza en $2.500 y la casa de subastas nos dice que esperan que la mesa alcance entre los $10.000 y $20.000 aproximadamente.

Janis Joplin Buy My Antique Pool Table ... Hits Market On 81st Bday

Published

There's a piece of Janis Joplin's heart hitting the auction block ... an antique pool table she kept in her California home ... and the sale happens to coincide with her birthday.

The Queen of Rock & Roll was a big-time pool player when she wasn't rocking out in the 1960s ... playing billiards, drinking beer and hanging out in pool halls ... and when Janis bought a home in Larkspur, CA in 1969 she put a vintage pool table in a room.

Now, on what would have been Janis' 81st birthday, Julien's Auctions is announcing the sale of Janis' pool table ... a Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. Monarch Cushion 9' pool table from the 1920s.

Janis moved into her single-story home in Larkspur way back in 1969 ... about a year before her fatal overdose in Hollywood ... and the pool table's remained in the same room in her house ever since.

JJ and her friends were photographed using the table for a game of pool in a feature from an August 1970 issue of Rolling Stone magazine ... she was on the cover and a copy of the issue is included in the sale.

The opening bid starts at $2,500 and the auction house tells us Janis' pool table is expected to fetch between $10,000 to $20,000 when the dust settles.

Cue "Me and Bobby McGee."

Elisabeth Moss Father Ron Dead at 79

Published | Updated

Elisabeth Moss' dad, Ron Moss, has died ... TMZ has learned.

The actress's father passed away Thursday night in Clearwater, FL after a brief battle with an infection -- this according to his grandson, Max, the executor of Ron's estate. We're told he was surrounded by family, and that his death was peaceful.

Max writes of his granddad ... "Ron made so many friends throughout his rich life and we want everyone to know that you all meant so much to him. Thank you for everything that any of you did for him throughout his life."

Ron was a professional musician, and was a trained trombone player who played in jazz bands throughout his life ... including gigging with none other than the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige. Yes, Ron was also a Scientologist himself ... as is Elisabeth.

He actually served as a manager for some big stars over the years too -- including Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes and others. Chick is Elisabeth's godfather, interestingly enough.

While he was born and raised across the pond, he and his ex-wife, Linda, raised Elisabeth and her brother Derek here in the States ... Los Angeles specifically. While Elisabeth has posed for some shots with her dad ... it doesn't appear they were that close of late.

Unclear if Elisabeth is aware of her father's death at this point -- we've reached out to her camp for comment ... but so far, no word back. Ron was 79.

RIP

Elisabeth Moss Su padre Ron muere a los 79

Published | Updated

El padre de Elisabeth Moss, Ron Moss, ha muerto ... TMZ ha averiguado.

El padre de la actriz falleció el jueves por la noche en Clearwater, Florida, después de una breve batalla contra una infección. Esto, de acuerdo a su nieto, Max, el albacea de la herencia de Ron. Nos dicen que estaba rodeado de su familia y que su muerte fue pacífica.

Max escribe de su abuelo: "Ron hizo tantos amigos a lo largo de su rica vida y queremos que todos sepan que significaban mucho para él. Gracias por todo lo que cualquiera de ustedes hizo por él a lo largo de su vida".

Ron era músico profesional y trombonista de formación, y tocó en bandas de jazz durante toda su vida, incluyendo actuaciones con nada menos que el padre del líder de la Cienciología, David Miscavige. Sí, Ron también era un cienciólogo, al igual que Elisabeth.

En realidad sirvió como manager de algunas grandes estrellas en los últimos años también, incluyendo Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes y otros. Chick es el padrino de Elisabeth, curiosamente.

Aunque nació y creció al otro lado del charco, él y su ex mujer Linda criaron a Elisabeth y a su hermano Derek en Estados Unidos, concretamente en Los Ángeles. Aunque Elisabeth ha posado para algunas fotos con su padre no parece que fueran tan cercanos últimamente.

No está claro si Elisabeth es consciente de la muerte de su padre en este momento. Nos pusimos en contacto con su equipo para que hicieran comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta. Ron tenía 79 años.

Que en paz descanse.
