Paparazzi

Scott Disick and Sofia Richie have something in common with Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian -- silence.

We got the new couple Tuesday at The Commons at Calabasas and asked them about the huge baby news TMZ broke -- about Khloe and Tristan Thompson, and Kylie and Travis Scott. No, we don't THINK Scott and Sofia are in the same way ... but their response to Kardashian baby questions is very similar to their answers about their relationship.

Our guy even pivoted -- digging about Scott and Sofia's recent celebration down in Miami.

Audrina Patridge was cool, calm and collected while meeting up with estranged husband Corey Bohan for the second time in a day -- despite accusing him of domestic violence.

Paps got Audrina picking up her and Corey's 1-year-old daughter, Kirra, after a 7-hour visitation with him. She had come face-to-face with him at the drop off earlier Sunday ... but this time it looks like she actually exchanges words with Corey in close proximity.

Surprisingly, she keeps it together ... even smiling at him at one point. We're told the two met at a local police station for the exchange.

We broke the stories ... Audrina filed for divorce as well as a temporary restraining order against Corey after she says he shoved her while holding Kirra and called her a "f***ing c**t." She also claims he planted cameras to monitor her. He denies planting the cameras.

North West is her father Kanye's daughter when it comes to dealing with photogs, but she's also a mini Kim because she can sure steal the spotlight.

Kim, North and one of North's little pals were leaving an ice rink Thursday in the San Fernando Valley and were swarmed by paps. North chirps with her usual "no pictures, please" until mom steps in and reminds the kid what her dad told her to say ... "No questions!!!"

Blocked by a 4-year-old.

Kevin Hart's sex tape partner, Montia Sabbag, doesn't look the least bit concerned about the extortion investigation ... in fact, she's taking a totally casual approach as she kicks it in L.A.

Montia was at a home in the L.A. area Wednesday just hours after she held a news conference with celebrity attorney Lisa Bloom to publicly deny any wrongdoing, and declare she was also victimized by the sex tape recording.

She was rocking a far more casual look -- a midriff-baring pink sweatsuit -- than the all-business blouse she wore at the newser. As for her weekend in Las Vegas with Kevin ... seems mum's the word, at least when her attorney isn't present.

Kanye West is definitely back to his old self, but with a twist -- he's shutting down questions from paparazzi again ... only now, doing it as a gentleman.

We got 'Ye Wednesday night coming and going from Matsuhisa in Bev Hills, and he quickly reminded our photog he doesn't take questions ... sans any hands on our gear.

He seems to be in on the "no questions" joke with himself, 'cause he shuts down an even bigger group of paps again as he's leaving with a grin and a chuckle.

Kanye was mum on the looming peace summit with Jay ... but at least he's got his sense of humor back. Still ... can't tell him nothin'.

Gisele had no time for questions about her husband, Tom Brady, possibly being stopped from visiting the White House because of Ivanka Trump ... her mind was worlds away.

Paps got Tom's Brazilian model wife beelining it Tuesday to a car that was on its way to the United Nations Headquarters building in NYC, where she attended a meeting of the Global Pact for the Environment. She's big on protecting Mother Earth.

She was mum on Anthony Scaramucci's strong intimation she blocked Tom from visiting Donald Trump because he might've dated his daughter back in the day ... sources close to Ivanka say she was tight with Tom but they never hooked up. For his part Donald wished back in 2004 the 2 would get together.

Bella Hadid nearly opened a can of whoop ass on a security guard protecting her when she thought the guy took his job too far with a female photographer vying for her pic.

Bella was leaving the Michael Kors Fashion Show Wednesday morning in New York when she was swarmed by a gang of paparazzi while getting into her ride. Bella's security detail was deep ... we counted at least 5 people escorting her and, in her defense, the guy comes through like a bulldozer.

You can't blame her for being on high alert, especially after her sister, Gigi, was manhandled leaving a Milan fashion show last year.

Modeling ... not just about good looks. You need muscle too.

Brian Austin Green is incredulous at people who have gone after his 4-year-old son who routinely goes out in public wearing dresses.

Brian was interviewed by TMZ alum Dax Holt, who now runs Hollywood Pipeline, and the former 90210 star says choosing to wear dresses, goggles ... who cares?

And then Brian gives a rare, candid peek into controlling the paparazzi by actually tipping them off to where he, Megan Fox and their brood are heading. He says the trade-off is a no-brainer, especially on vacay ... 5 minutes of posing, in return for 2 weeks of peace.

Jamie Foxx knows silence is golden when it comes to talking about Katie Holmes ... but he still wants everyone to know they're all good as a couple.

Jamie was in Malibu Wednesday morning when a photog asked him all about Katie and their very first PDA on the beach. TMZ posted the first pics ... showing them strolling on Monday -- and, as we reported ... the relationship has been the worst-kept secret for years.

So, why go public now and what does her ex and his pal, Tom Cruise, think?

Jamie kept his response brief ... and mostly nonverbal.

Prince William and Kate have another reason to smile this week ... they just scored more than $200k in a lawsuit over topless pics of the Duchess of Cambridge.

A French court imposed maximum fines Tuesday against Closer magazine -- as well as its editor and owner -- for publishing topless photos of Kate in 2012. A judge ordered the magazine to pay $119,000 in damages. The editor and owner also have to cough up $53k each in fines.

The lawsuit stems from photos taken of Kate while she was sunbathing topless at a private villa in France. The royal family deemed the magazine spread an invasion of privacy, and Wills and Kate sued.

The court's ruling comes one day after the couple announced baby #3 is on the way. This oughta help cover that kid's college tuition.

Rachel Lindsay must know it's just a matter of time before the world loses interest in her season of "The Bachelorette" ... so she's milking the spotlight.

Rachel and her new fiance, Bryan Abasolo, were swarmed by paps Tuesday as they arrived at the BUILD studio in NYC ... and they took their sweet time to suck face for the cameras.

In her defense, Rachel's season finale was Monday night -- so it makes sense she'd be making the rounds, posing at all the stops along the way.

Still, this display of affection is a bit too on the nose for us not to cringe. Congrats, though ... here's hoping they're couple #6 to actually tie the knot for 'Bachelor' Nation.

The green umbrella Britney Spears unleashed on a paparazzo after shaving her head in 2007 is hitting the auction block ... and at a decent price, if you've got thousands of dollars laying around.

Daniel Ramos, the pap whose car Britney clubbed with the thing, says he's ready to part with the piece of pop culture history since he thinks Brit Brit's in a good place. Plus he's making a movie and needs the dough. He has floated the idea of the sale in the past, and now it looks like he's ready to make the move.

He had it on him when we ran into him at LAX Tuesday, and it looked to be in good shape although Ramos wouldn't recommend it being used in the rain. The umbrella is listed online with RR Auction and hits the block August 10th.

As for how much it could fetch, Ramos is thinking in the $50k ballpark, and has a favored spot for it to land.

Prince Harry became Mr. Brightside at The Killers' concert this weekend -- throwing on a hat and guzzling beer with the common folk at a British music festival.

Harry was seen hangin' with some friends Saturday at Hyde Park in London, where he caught the band's headlining set for British Summer Time.

His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, wasn't with him -- but that didn't stop His Highness from having a damn good time. He was snapping some selfies, throwing around thumbs-up signs and downing Heineken like nobody's business ... all from what appears to be a private booth. The guy's royalty, after all.

Safaree Samuels couldn't care less about Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill, Nas or anyone else even arguably connected to Friday's ambush that sent him running ... at least that's what he wants us to think.

We got Safaree outside Catch Tuesday night and he became a master of obfuscation ... using the paparazzi that peppered him with questions as an avoidance foil.

Catch is where people go to be seen and Safaree seemed to be lovin' the attention. He even took a page out of DJ Khaled's playbook.

George Lucas will begrudgingly sign autographs for those shoving posters and pictures in his face -- but don't push it ... 'cause he'll tell you to get a J-O-B.

We got George in Bev Hills, where he talked about Ron Howard taking over directing for the new Han Solo movie, as well as the L.A. City Council voting on his proposed $1.5 billion museum ... all while dealing with pushy "fans" looking for his John Hancock.

Kanye West was super pumped after the BET Awards Sunday, holding court outside a WeHo club.

Kanye joined the Kardashian klan to celebrate Khloe's 33rd birthday at the Blind Dragon. Tristan Thompson and Khloe arrived together to the club.

Before joining the group inside, Kanye chatted up one of his friends on the phone, and then met up with some guys on the street.

He was oblivious to the paparazzi ... if anything, they were clowning the photogs.

A good night was had by all.
