Chester Bennington's family and closest friends gathered for a private funeral near his home in Palos Verdes, CA.

A couple hundred people attended the service Saturday afternoon at South Coast Botanic Garden -- many of the guests were musicians who'd played or toured with Chester and Linkin Park. A full stage, including a drum kit, was set up for musical tributes to be performed.

Police provided tight security at the event. As TMZ first reported ... the family opted for a private funeral, instead of a massive open service. Instead, fans have organized numerous memorials around the globe for the frontman, who hanged himself just over a week ago.

Fittingly, all funeral attendees had to have wrist bands and an access pass -- similar to most concert VIP passes.

Chester was 41. #RIP

Great news -- Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez woke up with even more chiseled bodies! Now back to your doughnut.

The couple got in a yoga workout Friday in NYC, and based on this glimpse of their abs ... it was a good one. Not that it shows -- even a little -- but this was the day after Alex celebrated his 42nd birthday ... and a few days after J Lo's 48th!

As the saying goes: couples that sweat together ... make other couples super envious.

Kate Hudson has pulled a G.I. Jane (and countless other badass Hollywood heroines) by completely shaving her famous golden locks ... and like all of them, she looks great.

Kate was seen on set Tuesday in L.A. for a new flick she's working on with Sia, and she's rocking a new shaved 'do for the role.

Gotta say, as well as she wears it ... we almost didn't recognize her here at first.

Going bald seems to be back in style in Tinseltown. Cara Delevingne recently did the same for a movie, as did Kristen Stewart and, of course, Millie Bobby Brown for her role as Eleven in "Stranger Things."

Keep on buzzing, ladies.

Forget steroids, Jose Canseco's legacy is his smoldering daughter, Josie Canseco -- who set Miami Beach on fire this week during a trip with her boyfriend, Mike Stud.

The two showed some serious skin during a jet skiing session this week ... but all eyes were on Josie and the white hot bikini.

The fashion model and the rapper have been dating since 2015 -- with Stud even featuring Canseco in some of his music videos.

Can you blame him?

Robby Hayes and Amanda Stanton are now a thing, thanks to "Bachelor in Paradise." Oh, and ... spoiler alert.

Amanda and Robby were hand-in-hand for a weekend stroll in WeHo. We're not judging, but seems like they're already coordinating their wardrobes (Ok, we're judging).

They were both down in Mexico shooting the upcoming 'BiP' season ... and maybe the third time will be the charm for Amanda. She finished fourth on Ben Higgins' 'Bachelor' season, and was briefly engaged to Josh Murray before calling it off in December 2016.

Robby was the runner-up on JoJo Fletcher's season.

If at first you don't succeed ... get recast!

Jessica Alba's got her third bun in the oven ... and she's making sure it gets plenty of sun.

Alba's currently enjoying summer in Hawaii on the heels of news she's having another kid. She's already mom to 2 daughters -- 9-year-old Honor and 5-year-old Haven -- with husband Cash Warren.

Justin Bieber always marches to the beat of his own drum, and that beat's telling him to free his nipples ... in convenience stores ... apparently.

Justin looked like your typical teenager in Arizona or Florida when he hit up a 7-Eleven Saturday night. Of course, the Biebs was in Beverly Hills ... where ya don't typically see topless folks ... famous or not.

We're pretty sure no one complained about topless Bieber. Still, we'd implore him to not just observe all posted rules, but -- "Learn it. Know it. Live it."

Jeremy Meeks has a super tight grip on his gf Chloe Green ... so tight, it's like she stands to inherit a $5 billion fortune or something.

The ex-con and the Topshop heiress were out in Bev Hills Friday running the typical errands -- drug store run, smoothies and totally 100% authentic, impromptu make out session for the paparazzi.

Jeremy -- who just filed for separation from his wife, Melissa -- told us last week things are getting serious with Chloe.

Blac Chyna might not be on Nicki Minaj's level, but she came close Wednesday night on the set of a new music video.

They were both in Miami to shoot cameos in Yo Gotti's "Rake It Up" vid, and they looked like they were cut from the same cloth -- and by cloth, we mean latex.

If ya don't know ... Chyna got her start in Hollywood stepping in as Nicki's body double on Kanye West's "Monster" video -- so this was kind of a reunion, but now she's getting face time too ... and she got a shout-out in Gotti's lyrics.

The times, they are a changin' ...

Jessica Alba's now tanning for 2 ... and has no problem flaunting it either.

The actress put her baby bump on full display as she lounged at the beach in Hawaii Tuesday. Alba's on a babymoon getaway after announcing Monday she's expecting her third child with husband, Cash Warren.

Although she's a mom these days, and expecting another, ya can't see Jessica sunbathing without reminiscing about her most famous beach pose ... from more than a decade ago.

It really is like a fine wine.

Eva Longoria and her husband's honeymoon phase still seems to be in full swing after more than a year of marriage -- boobs in the face will do that!

Eva and her media mogul hubby, José Bastón, hit the beach in Marbella, Spain Tuesday ... and he had a particularly nice view as she helped him up from the water.

The couple tied the knot in May 2016 and show no signs of slowing down with the fun activities.

Now this is effective marriage counseling.

Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper's baby girl is showing off her genes.

While Bradley was taking in Roger Federer's Wimbeldon victory, Irina and 4-month-old Lea de Seine got in their own sports action in L.A. with a hike. Well, Mom did the hiking, Lea was just the super cute window dressing.

This is our first glimpse of the infant, and can't say we're too surprised at her adorableness. As they say ... consider the source.

Shia LaBeouf's mugging for the camera, but no police involvement this time -- instead, he's spreading the love on the J-O-B.

Shia's still shooting "The Peanut Butter Falcon" in Savannah, GA ... and took a bunch of selfies with fans, and hugged it out with his co-star, Zack Gottsagen.

Despite the violent and racist rants he made during his arrest for public intoxication ... people on set tell us Shia's remained a model actor while shooting. Looks like he's letting the rest of the town see that side of himself. As we told you, Shia also says he wants to make good with Savannah cops.

Baby steps.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are back to power coupling in public, and had a night out in L.A. minus the baggage ... as in no diaper bags, strollers, etc ...

The Carters were out Thursday night at Mack Sennett Studios in L.A. where they attended Vic Mensa's album listening party. It's our first good look at Bey in street clothes since giving birth to Sir and Rumi, and of course ... she looked flawless. Jay looked ... like Jay, repping for Roc-Nation, naturally.

Yes ... she had TWINS a month ago.

Jennifer Garner is following Ben Affleck's lead, parading around town with another woman, although it's just her longtime pal, Chelsea Handler.

The gals did dinner Wednesday night at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica ... one of Ben's favorite restaurants.

There could've been an awkward run-in -- they both live nearby. He was there a few days ago with new gf, 'SNL' producer Lindsay Shookus.

Handler's known as a loyal pal, so doubt Ben would sweat that.

Christina Milian and Karrueche Tran are a little late to get on the "hot babes eating burgers" train ... but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate the effort.

Christina and Karrueche got their bikinis on and hit the beach Tuesday in Miami, where at first they got all wet ... and then dried off and chowed down on some cow.

Their burger bikini fest wasn't for any type of Carl's Jr. commercial -- in fact, the company ditched that whole concept earlier this year ... sad as it may be.

Still ... it's good to see an homage here to the good ol' days -- intended or not.

Don't bother them, they're eating.
