Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker aren't taking any risks when it comes to the safety of their home ... requesting local police keep a close eye on their pad.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the reality TV star and the blink-182 drummer, who own multiple properties across Southern California, requested extra patrols for their marital home earlier in the week.

We're told the couple has made the request due to past trespassers who've made their way onto the property ... though, there isn't a current threat they're concerned about.

Diddy and Justin Bieber hung out back in the day ... but it was hard to gauge just how close the two celebs were ... until now.

TMZ has obtained rare archived photos of the music legends kicking back at two events ... the 2010 Haiti Benefit Concert at American Airlines Arena in Miami and the 2016 after-party for the 58th Annual Grammy Awards at 1OAK in L.A.

Reviewing the images, one thing becomes abundantly clear ... Diddy and the much younger Bieber were super tight.

Lana Del Rey's new husband Jeremy Dufrene has a dark sense of humor ... which takes center stage in his alligator act down in the bayou.

Check it out ... the airboat captain faces off against a massive alligator during one tour down in Louisiana. Jeremy proves to be a pro at handling the large reptile ... though, he jokes he's less skilled in his personal life -- taking a jab at his ex-wife in the process.

He tells the tourists aboard his boat ... "Me and [the alligator] have been pretty tight ever since I fed him my ex-wife. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding."

Ex-NFL star Reggie Bush says he would've attended a Diddy party back in the day if it weren't for a blacked-out friend puking before entering the bash ... but he believes his obliterated plus-one was a "sign."

The Heisman winner detailed the past experience in an interview with Robert Griffin III ... saying he was invited to a rager at Diddy's Star Island mansion around 3 or 4 in the morning, so he headed over with a group of friends and a Red Bull rep -- as he was sponsored by the energy drink at the time.

As his crew waited to get into Diddy's crib, Bush said the RB rep started blowing chunks on the front lawn ... right in front of a slew of security guards.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's Halloween decor appears to be as horny as they are ... the couple has put up a NSFW blow-up display in their front yard.

The reality TV star got into the Halloween spirit Friday, posting a number of seasonal photos in honor of her favorite month. However, it was her and Travis' festive display that sent fans into a tizzy ... with the PDA-loving couple putting up skeleton inflatables, which appear to be boning.

Fans are torn over the X-rated display ... with some getting a hoot out of the setup, while others declaring Kourtney needs "help" for her inappropriate decorating decisions.

Lil Durk and the cast of "Power Book II: Ghost" bang out the series finale in epic fashion -- and take it from LaToya Tonodeo, the Chicago rapper's acting skills are the real deal!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked with LaToya, who also has a big role in the grand closing as her long-standing character Diana Tejada in 50 Cent's hit show ... and she says Durk has the acting chops to go far in this biz, after seeing him pull off drills on-screen for her loved ones!!!

Durk posted up with "Power II" costars Michael Rainey Jr. and Gianni Paolo on-set ahead of his scenes and they echoed the same sentiment.

Aries Spears makes a living speaking his mind even when the public doesn't agree -- but he's not hopping on the Diddy joke train before all the facts have been displayed!!!

We caught up with the comedian at LAX Thursday en route to his upcoming Apollo gig, and he's siding with Dr. Umar Johnson's recent viral comments ... Diddy's an innocent man until the courts rule that he's guilty!!!

Johnson has set ablaze several fiery rants in favor of Diddy, questioning the lack of evidence while claiming America is running a successful Black man through the wringer to distract from the presidential election.

Will Smith blended the old with the new, treating a crowd to a mashup of the beloved 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' theme with some new material Thursday.

The party kicked off at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, where Will pumped up a small but hyped audience with the iconic tune and the classic "Summertime" before dropping his new jam, "You Can Make It."

As you can see, Will was totally in his element, dancing up a storm with a lucky fan onstage and having a blast.

Diddy and Justin Bieber are seen together in a resurfaced 2011 video ... and their little hangout sesh on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" will totally shock you.

Check out the clip from February 2011 ... Diddy was sporting dark shades and sitting side by side with the much younger Biebs, with host Jimmy Kimmel parked behind his desk, chatting with the famous duo.

The convo started off with Jimmy asking Diddy and Justin what their relationship was about and if they were collaborating on music.

Rich Homie Quan's first posthumous album, "Forever Going In," was released Friday -- a month after his death ... the day the star rapper would have turned 35.

The album looks to capitalize on RHQ's growing streaming numbers while also memorializing his life -- it clocks in at 35 songs!!!

2 Chainz, Lil Tjay, Sukihana, Skilla Baby and more help round out the guest list -- RHQ's family dedicated the project to all the supporters.

Garth Brooks was all about the love just days before being slapped with a sexual assault lawsuit ... posting a sweet pic with his wife, Trisha Yearwood.

In the IG post shared Monday, Garth and his wife of almost 19 years are seen hand in hand in St. Paul, Minnesota, heading to a Habitat for Humanity building site to help out their pal Jimmy Carter's charitable venture -- the 2024 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project.

The singer clearly had a great day, writing in the caption, "As they say, Home is the key and love never quits! To everyone building with us, today was a GREAT Day 1!!!"

Garth Brooks has responded to a claim he allegedly raped a makeup artist 5 years ago ... calling the shocking allegation a straight-up shakedown.

Here is the deal ... the country star is being sued by a woman who claims she was his wife Trisha Yearwood's makeup and hairstylist for years ... before he allegedly raped her in a hotel room in 2019.

GB responded to the allegation Thursday not long after news of her lawsuit broke ... saying he's been "hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars.  It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face."

George Lopez doesn't buy the idea that Melania Trump is a pro-choice supporter one bit, gauging from her choice in picking Donald Trump as a husband -- but he isn't giving the same scrutiny to the ongoing Diddy saga!!!

TMZ caught up with GL in NYC and the comedian couldn't help but scoff at Mrs. Trump's grand revelation that there should be no restrictions against abortion in the U.S. -- which totally contradicts DJT's ongoing presidential campaign.

Switching gears, George says he doesn't side with the nonstop wave of Diddy jokes on social media since the allegations started ... well, sort of.

Transgender model Sidney Starr and "Family Matters" alum Darius McCrary have been putting on a strong public front for months, and their union just got a whole lot tighter ... and Sidney says it's all thanks to gender-affirming surgery!!!

The two lovebirds recently paid Adam22 a visit at "No Jumper" ... where Sidney jumped at the chance to reveal Darius slapped down big bucks for her member to get the permanent snip!!!

Adam asked to be gifted Sidney's removed penis for safekeeping, but it looks to be long gone.

Garth Brooks cornered his makeup artist in a hotel suite and raped her so violently she felt like he was going to break her body in two ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

The country star is being sued by a woman who claims she was his wife Trisha Yearwood's makeup and hairstylist for years before he hired her to work for him in the same role.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman claims in May 2019 Garth took her with him to Los Angeles for a Grammy tribute to Sam Moore, but when she boarded his private plane in Nashville she noticed they were the only ones traveling, which was unusual.

Diddy's got a club inside one of his Los Angeles homes and he had a strange request during a shindig after he won a big award ... telling the crowd to make sure they had lotion on.

TMZ obtained video from a party at Diddy's Holmby Hills home in June 2022, the night after he was presented with a BET Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards, and Diddy grabs the mic and makes the bizarre lotion comment.

Diddy says ... "Ayo, everybody make sure your breath is fresh, make sure you're lotion'd up." He says people need to use mouthwash if they're smoking weed and encourages ladies to hit the dance floor even if their date doesn't want to dance.
