Kanye West Parties in L.A. with Travis, Drake ... And New Kim K Look-Alike!!!
Kanye West might have more people in his corner than some anticipated -- including Travis Scott ... and yet ANOTHER Kim K doppelganger.
Ye had a huge get-together Monday night in L.A. with tons of stars coming out for the listening party he held to celebrate his forthcoming album "DONDA 2" -- and the event ended up producing two big stops around town.
First, everyone chowed down at Nobu in Malibu ... with KW walking in wearing a tank top that showed off his toned physique. Not long after that, model Chaney Jones followed him in as well ... and no, you’re not crazy. She's nearly a dead ringer for the rapper’s estranged wife -- from the makeup, down to her outfit.
Anyway, Jones was far from the only person who showed up for Kanye -- like we said, Kylie’s baby daddy also rolled through, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ye on the way out. French Montana was on hand, as was Offset -- and, eventually, they all left for their next destination in West Hollywood.
The gang hit the Sunny Vodka party at the Nice Guy next - which was thrown by Stas Karanikolaou - and that's where the party really got started -- with the likes of Drake, Hailey Bieber and even Kendall Jenner rolling through for the good time. Mr. West’s new Kim clone also went, BTW ... although they were never photographed together at any point.
A couple things we can glean from this -- one, it would seem Kanye’s still got mad love and support from some very famous people in Hollywood ... including a good handful who are very much in the Kardashian inner circle -- this even after recent public and ugly spats with Kim.
Second, and perhaps more importantly, it would appear Ye’s moved on to another woman ... or at the very least, roped another one into his orbit.
There was no sign of Julia Fox anywhere here, and there have been rumors they've gone their separate ways. Not just that, but Kanye was apparently seen hanging with Chaney last week too -- so yeah, seems he’s already on to the next.
Next Kim 2.0, we mean. 😅

"Khamzat is fighting all these little ass guys, but I'd like to fight him next."
That's rising star Nick Maximov talking to TMZ Sports at Planet Hollywood in Vegas hours after his UFC Fight Night win, calling out one of the most feared guys in the UFC ... undefeated 27-year-old, Chechen-born fighter Khamzat Chimaev.
But, it's not just Borz who's never lost ... 'cause Maximov, a Nate Diaz protégé, is a perfect 8-0, and has fought some super tough prospects -- something Nick says Chimaev has NOT done.
"Why are people scared? He hasn't shown anything to be scared about, cause he hasn't fought any wrestlers. He's a wrestler that hasn't fought any wrestlers. So, I'm like, 'what the f**k, fight me then!'"
Speaking of tough fights ... Nick was the co-main event on Saturday, and defeated Puna Soriano by split decision.
"It's my second UFC fight, I'm the co-main event. Second UFC fight, I'm fighting all these top prospects with either zero losses or 1 loss. I'm like, 'why am I fighting all these hard-ass guys?' No one else is doing that. Not Paddy Pimblett. Not Sean O'Malley."
But, Maximov continues to win ... and believes he will be champion inside a year.
We asked ... can you beat Adesanya?
"Easily. I think I can take anyone in the top 5," Maximov says.
We also got footage of Maximov celebrating the dub at Drais Night Club ... where he popped bottles with the boys.

Super Bowl party season is right around the corner ... and one of the most hyped events of the weekend is looking to one-up itself -- with a nearly $3 million budget!!
TMZ Sports spoke with David Spencer of Talent Resources Sports, which helps put on the annual Sports Illustrated bash during Super Bowl Weekend ... and he tells us the S.I. bash will live up to its reputation this year -- especially after COVID-19 prevented the party from happening in 2021.
"We've been known to throw some premiere events in our 15-year history, and super honored to be back in L.A. and doing something bigger than ever," Spencer tells us.
This season, the event is slated to have names like Kygo, Jack Harlow, Frank Walker and more on board to get the vibes going ... and the crowd will be filled with the biggest celebs, athletes and models like years past.
With all that being said, tables for the party come with quite the price tag -- we're talking 5 figures -- but it's for good reason.
"It's an expensive event to produce," Spencer adds. "We're almost up to the $3 million mark for that event alone, so it's a tough ticket."
On top of the S.I. party, Spencer tells us about the Super Bowl viewing party at Jimmy Goldstein's iconic L.A. mansion ... and he says the event (which comes with a $1,500-$2,000 ticket) will be super COVID-19 safe ... and catered by local hotspot Craig's!!
But, Spencer warns everybody trying to attend the Goldstein watch party -- good luck finding a ticket.

Farrah Abraham says she's been a wreck since her arrest for allegedly slapping a security guard at a club ... it's gotten so bad she's had suicidal thoughts.
We got Farrah in Hollywood Saturday where she was packing up her stuff and putting it in a U-haul. She says she's moving out of California ... that's how upset she says she is over the arrest, where she ended up face down in the dirt outside the club.

Farrah tearfully says she now has no body function on her upper right side and she's afraid to go out in public.
TMZ broke the story ... Farrah was having dinner at Grandmaster Records in Hollywood January 15th when there was some sort of confrontation inside and a security guard claims Farrah slapped her. The club made a citizen's arrest and security took the former star of 'Teen Mom' outside while police were on the way, and Farrah ended up in the dirt.
She says she's doing physical therapy and hopes surgery is not in the cards.
Farrah is now going the way of a bunch of other celebs, who are done with L.A. and have moved on to other parts of the country or world.

In addition to AB, we're told Nelly, Timbaland and French Montana were also in the house.
Brown and Ross are both Florida natives ... and have been friends for years. In fact, Ross made a cameo in AB's "Whole Lotta Money" music video.
Of course, AB pulled up in grand style ... sporting a grey suit and black turtleneck and lots of jewelry to accompany the drip.
Since his unceremonious departure from the Bucs ... Brown's been jet-setting across America. He's hung out with some of the most well-known, A-list stars like Kanye West, Floyd Mayweather and Madonna.

Antonio Brown celebrated the demise of Bruce Arians and the Buccaneers in style on Sunday -- partying hard at a Miami nightclub just hours after his former team was booted from the playoffs.
TMZ Sports has learned ... the ex-Bucs wideout watched his old squad lose to the Rams in Tampa -- and then he made his way down to Miami to celebrate.
We're told the 33-year-old hit XXIII Club ... and copped around $15,000-worth of bottles while there!!
Brown rocked a huge fur coat ... and was the life of the party at the packed venue -- which, at one point, played his new "Pit Not The Palace" song for the crowd.
Of course, Brown was in great spirits ... because, after all, the team that he says screwed him over earlier this month finally fell in heartbreaking fashion to L.A. earlier on Sunday.
— AB (@AB84) January 24, 2022 @AB84
In fact, Brown was so pleased with the result on the field, he trolled Tampa Bay on his social media page with an edited "Bucs eliminated" meme, and later tweeted that Arians was a "barbarian."
It seemed Brown had been moving on from his beef with the Bucs -- remember, he told us recently he and Tom Brady had hashed things out, and said just before that that his shirtless exit from the team was not very professional.
But, based on the looks of his Sunday night celebration, it's clear the guy's grudge ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

Farrah Abraham Threatens to Sue Venue for Detaining Her ... Alleged Victim Shares Injury Photo

Exclusive
- 2.2K shares
Farrah Abraham is apparently gearing up for a lawsuit against the venue whose guards made her eat dirt — but at the same time, her alleged victim is also showing off what she says are licks she claims Farrah inflicted.
The "Teen Mom" star's attorney, Kia Feyzjou, tells TMZ that she and their team are, at the very least, exploring a civil suit surrounding the events from last weekend ... which ended with Farrah arrested for battery. The reason, we're told, is because Farrah and co. believe she was wrongfully placed under citizen's arrest in the first place by the lounge's staff.
1/15/22
Feyzjou says that the initial citizen's arrest was unlawful so the real cops shouldn't have taken her into custody.
Not just that, but Feyzjou says the venue's security guards who had her pinned to the ground used excessive force in restraining her ... allegedly leaving Farrah in a lot of pain and distress after the fact. That's something else Feyzjou thinks might give her client grounds for a lawsuit.
Farrah, of course, has already spoken her piece in this ... insisting she was unfairly singled out and mistreated.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
On the flip side, the security guard whom Farrah is alleged to have hit that night is also speaking out ... sticking to her story that Farrah, indeed, did strike her -- and posting photo evidence she says backs up her claim.
The woman, Megan Armstrong, has thrown up a few different posts on Instagram to air her grievances against Farrah, and the one photo she has of her mug appears to show her rocking a shiner.
No word if this gal herself is considering legal action, but we know Farrah certainly is. To be continued, we're sure.

A wedding party in Southern California turned into an all-out brawl with police -- a melee that started with a simple noise complaint ... and the video is wild.
Check out this footage, obtained by TMZ, which we're told shows what occurred after a wedding ceremony at a Quality Inn in Barstow, CA Sunday night, into early Monday morning.
Sources say cops were called over an apparent rowdy group of guests. We're told there was wrestling going down, as a bunch of the guests were MMA trained.
It looks like, when officers arrived, things escalated into violence, with what appears to be one of the cops punching a guy on the ground, who also gets tasered. We're told the cops came upon the group in a common grass area ... and saw 2 guys wrestling. Eyewitnesses tell us the crowd was trying to tell them it was a friendly match, but that the police didn't listen.
We're told the guy who's seen getting punched on camera was zapped 3 times while on the ground. We're told the bride, who is pregnant, was also tased/detained in the mayhem ... and that there were kids present.
Barstow PD tells us the call came in as a report of 4 males fighting in the courtyard, and that a use of force investigation has been opened ... while noting the clip is just a small part of what happened. BPD says the investigation will determine why the officer was punching.
We're told in total, 3 people were arrested for the incident.

10:07 AM PT -- Farrah tells TMZ ... "I’m tired of being maliciously battered, attacked, conspired against while having dinner at Grand Master Records, this was a private person's arrest my lawyer is handling from here. It is terrifying and traumatizing that people attack me and I can not even enjoy dinner as I’m the only person out of 3 attacked and harassed when. I look forward to court as always, warning this place is a danger to public figures."
She claims that the establishment's workers attacked her, and further alleges they filmed the whole thing to leak to the media. Farrah also insists she was singled out, pointing out that her two friends were not hassled ... only her.
Farrah Abraham was arrested Saturday night, after allegedly slapping a security guard at a club ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources say, Farrah allegedly slapped a security guard at Grandmaster Records in Hollywood, where she and a friend were partying. An eyewitness tells TMZ someone in the club allegedly assaulted them ... someone described as a Farrah "hater."
Farrah allegedly got belligerent and was asked to leave the club but refused. At some point, she allegedly slapped the guard.
We're told initially cops weren't called. Rather, someone called for paramedics and when they arrived they say someone -- presumably Farrah -- was so belligerent they called the cops for backup.
Someone made a citizen's arrest -- we're assuming it's the security guard but we haven't confirmed. Farrah was taken into custody and released shortly thereafter.
No one was injured. No word on whether Farrah will be charged.
JUNE 2018
BTW ... it's not the first time Farrah was arrested for allegedly hitting someone who asked her to leave. Back in 2018, she was busted after allegedly striking an employee at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She has been banned from there as a result.

Exclusive

COVID-19 can't stop Los Angeles from partying before Super Bowl LVI ... 'cause several event planners tell TMZ Sports the show will go on -- with precautions, of course.
As COVID-19 cases surge throughout the country, many questions have been raised about whether the traditional bashes leading up to the big game will go on as scheduled.
We've learned at least three of the biggest parties will continue as planned -- including the event put on by sports agent Leigh Steinberg -- AKA the real Jerry Maguire -- at Sony Studios.
We're told Steinberg's invite-only bash will be filled with celebs and current/former players -- featuring tons of food and drink ... as well as a cool brain lounge with insane technology, a silent auction and more.
FYI -- Sony can host up to 5,000 people, but we're told the event will only be about half capacity ... and all guests must be vaxxed or have a negative test within 48 hours of arrival.
"It is 90% outdoor," LeeAnn Adams, the VP of Special Projects for Leigh Steinberg Entertainment, tells us.
"We only have one indoor space where our brain lounge is because we have very valuable equipment in there."
"We're as COVID-safe as possible and indoors, obviously, you have to wear a mask. You're in Los Angeles and it is mandated."
Hall of Famer Terrell Davis and Babes and Ballers will be hosting their own SB bash as well ... with rapper Lil Jon and the Los Angeles Rams cheerleaders set to attend at the Academy Hall.
Davis' shindig will also follow Los Angeles' COVID-19 protocols -- in fact, they're adding extra hand sanitizer stations at the venue ... as they're expecting 1,200 guests.
"The club has some already fixed to the wall," Steve Fowler of Babes and Ballers said. "But we'll have a couple more at every entrance, bathroom, VIP room and patio."
For NAAB Radio's event, the station is anticipating 500 party-goers at the Taglyan Complex ... and will also stick to the city's guidelines.
"We plan to follow all CDC protocols and to have our guests show proof of vaccinations/test results while having a memorable Super Bowl 2022 Party," NAAB Radio co-founder Denise Darrell tells us.
Now that the safety concerns are out of the way ... it's time to party.
That is, as long as you're COVID-19 negative/got the vax and have a mask handy!!!
Univ. Of Georgia Fans Rush Athens Streets, Climb Poles ... To Celebrate Title Win

Just minutes after UGA capped off its 33-18 national championship win over the Tide at Lucas Oil Stadium ... people rushed into huge crowds near the Georgia campus.
Fans danced, chanted and cheered -- with video showing thousands of people crammed into tight spaces following the Dawgs' victory.
Several people threw traffic cones -- and some even climbed light poles to celebrate the occasion too!!

But, a spokesperson for the Athens-Clarke County Police Department tells TMZ Sports everyone was largely behaved, saying there were only "a handful" of arrests made for misdemeanor offenses.
Back at the stadium in Indiana ... the players partied with cigars to celebrate the W -- and they even got some love from big UGA fan Quavo in the postgame locker room.
The rapper rubbed elbows with team ... all while they blared Migos over the speakers.
And, if you think it all might be a little excessive -- it isn't ... 'cause it's been 41 years since the school last won a natty.
So, yeah, party on!!

'L&HH' Moniece Slaughter ALLEGED VICTIM GETS PROTECTION ... She Attacked Me At Cardi B Party!!!
5:55 AM PT -- 1/12 -- Slaughter's attorney, Joseph Adeife, tells us, "The allegations made against Ms. Slaughter are completely baseless and false. Temporary restraining orders are issued as a form of protection before the court can hear an individual’s case."
He continues, "Ms. Slaughter’s hearing is set for January 28, 2022. The judge will determine, based on the merits of the evidence presented, not allegations, whether to issue a long-term restraining order at that time. Therefore, none of the allegations made against Ms. Slaughter possess any merit or evidentiary proof."
Moniece Slaughter is being ordered to stay away from a person who claims the "Love & Hip Hop" star attacked them at a birthday bash for Cardi B.
According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... the partygoer claims Moniece went on the offensive at the event, trying to punch them before throwing a drink at them and striking others with the beverage.
10/11/21
In the docs, the person also says Moniece has been using her fame to harass them ... smearing their name with false allegations.
The partygoer beelined it to court last week, and a judge signed off on a restraining order against Moniece.
Tons of celebs were at the party ... including Offset.
The protective order requires Moniece to stay at least 100 yards away from her alleged victim ... and MS is barred from contacting or harassing them, although the judge stopped short of barring all social media comments.
We reached out to Moniece's camp ... so far, no word back.

Crazy Canadian Flight Passengers Still Stranded Organizer Says They Took COVID Precautions
The organizer of the Canadian party flight says passengers are still stranded in Mexico, and he understands why millions -- including PM Justin Trudeau -- are pissed off.
James Awad, the founder of 111 Private Club -- who put the trip together -- says everyone was tested for COVID prior to getting on the flight, and the only travelers on that plane were from his group ... he chartered an entire Sunwing Airline plane solely for the event.
Awad states, "As I thoroughly reviewed the current situation, I understand why many fellow citizens are upset about the current situation."
He goes on to explain he's worked tirelessly to try to get passengers back to Canada, discussing a plan with the airline which included no food or beverage service, masks, no standing in the aisles as well as proof of a negative PCR test.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
However, Awad said he couldn't come to an agreement with Sunwing because he felt passengers would need a meal on the 5-hour flight. Awad says he's attempted to charter a plane from other airlines but is also hitting a wall.
As we reported, the flight -- from Montreal to Mexico filled with Canadian partiers featured vaping, open container drinking and loud music.
Canadian PM called the event a "slap in the face" to citizens who had followed the rules and worked to try and stay healthy.
To that, Awad says, "I have significantly learned, and I am still learning from this experience. Learning from them is what makes the difference."

Oh, Canada Flight to Cancun Goes Off the Rails Passengers Rage in Aisles
10:04 AM PT -- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just spoke on the incident, calling it a "slap in the face" to all Canadians who had followed the rules up until this point in fighting the pandemic.
A group of rowdy Canadians are gonna have to find another way home after partying their faces off aboard a flight from the Great White North to Mexico ... which got out of control.
Check out this video ... it's a bunch of what appear to be 20-somethings throwing down in the cabin of a Sunwing Airlines plane as they jet down to Cancun for New Year's Eve. This was shot a day before NYE, BTW, so they've been there almost a full week now.
As you can see, it's pure mayhem in the aisles ... with folks smoking vapes, drinking booze and hoisting each other up for a little crowd surfing in the tightly packed area. Of course, nobody seems to be wearing masks ... or abiding by any sort of protocol whatsoever.
Indeed, it looks like a college frat party -- and if you're wondering where the flight crew was and how they could let things get this out of hand ... word is, the attendants actually gave up trying to establish order with this raucous bunch, and hid away toward the front and/or back, letting the passengers have their way -- this per local reports, citing a union rep.
There's also this ... a lot of these airplane partiers are apparently somewhat famous, as some of them have been described as social media influencers or reality TV stars in their homeland -- although, no specific names have surfaced just yet.
The health and safety of on-board personnel as well as passengers during a flight is a top priority. Passengers on Sunwing's flight to Cancun will be held accountable for their actions. Our statement: https://t.co/vtvHiTUnnA
— Omar Alghabra (@OmarAlghabra) January 5, 2022 @OmarAlghabra
The bad behavior didn't go unnoticed in the end ... in fact, it's actually being thoroughly investigated by the Canadian federal government, with its own Minister of Transport explicitly calling for accountability against these folks -- calling their actions "unacceptable."
Sunwing itself has also launched an investigation ... and took further steps to punish 'em all, by canceling their flight back to Montreal which was scheduled for Wednesday.
In addition to being left stranded south of the border, the unruly crowd also faces potential hefty fines -- up to $5,000 for each violation -- and if they do this again on a returning flight home ... they could even get jail time, as Canada is super strict on COVID rules these days.
As you might imagine, cases are sky-high up there right now ... just like elsewhere across the world -- and the government has advised people to avoid international travel if they can.
Not saying this would solve the problem here, since the mob clearly overtook the situation. But ... maybe the Canadians can take some pointers from American flight attendants, who've been getting resourceful, of late, to restrain disorderly dissenters in the skies.
A little duct tape and some zip tie action goes a long way when you need it ... and so did air marshals once upon a time. The heck ever happened to those guys anyway??? 😅
