Diddy Surfaces After Cassie Settlement Solemn Amid Dramatic Saga

Published | Updated

Diddy just officially put this whole Cassie saga to bed, but it seems it's all still at the forefront of his mind -- that is, if these pictures of him looking stressed are any indication.

The hip hop mogul and Bad Boy honcho was photographed Saturday outside of his Star Island mansion in Miami ... where he was dressed casually and sipping on a beverage of some sort as he plopped down next to what appears to be his longtime chief of staff.

She was in comfy clothes too, and the two of them chatted for a bit in what looked like a pretty serious conversation. Diddy even buried his face in his hands at one point.

Eventually, he got up and went back inside ... but yeah, he certainly appears solemn.

Makes sense, considering everything that's been going on over the past 72 hours or so -- namely, him being accused of horrendous things by his ex in court ... all of which he's vehemently denied. Just as quickly as she filed, they both reached a settlement.

SHOCKING SETTLEMENT

While Diddy's attorney was adamant in saying that his client settling did NOT mean he was admitting wrongdoing -- people online have been chatting about this nonstop regardless ... and, by and large, public sentiment seems to be mostly against Puff in the aftermath.

Time will tell how Cassie's claims end up affecting his life -- fact is, he's got a lot of business ventures he's involved in ... not to mention charitable endeavors he heads up quite often.

Of course, Diddy still dabbles in music as well ... and is fresh off an album release earlier this year. He also tends to hit the town a lot for parties and get-togethers, but something tells us he might be keeping things on the DL for a while.

As for Cassie ... she's been out the spotlight since filing/settling -- so she, too, is laying low.

Jackson Mahomes was partying his face off to kick off the weekend ... and he had the best seat in the house to watch a DJ do his thing.

Patrick Mahomes' little brother was front and center Friday night at Mosaic Ultra Lounge in Kansas City, MO -- where James Kennedy was handling music for all the club-goers ... and putting on a pretty good set, if Jackson's reaction here is any indication.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Check it out ... in footage obtained by TMZ, you can see the 23-year-old influencer raging as Kennedy spins his records, and even got on his feet at one point and cheered JK on.

Looks like Jackson was also making it rain behind James too ... with confetti, that is.

JM might've been having a blast here, but he's got some very serious issues to deal with in the near future ... including a preliminary hearing in his sexual battery case.

As you know ... he's been charged with 3 felony counts over an incident earlier this year -- in which he's alleged to have planted an unwanted kiss on a restaurant owner there in town.

Of course, no one is griping about having the ladies attend -- who wouldn't enjoy their company -- but there has been some side-eye this year over the fact that quite a few women are being mixed in as winners, etc.

It goes without saying, though ... there's room for all, and sometimes -- even a woman can be the man. Let's hear it for the ladies and gents of GQ -- they left their mark, big time.

Drake & J. Cole Our College Fans Never Disappoint ... This Blur's For You!!!

Published | Updated

Drake and J. Cole are looking to rack up A+ reviews for their expanded "It's All a Blur" tour ... they intentionally selected towns with booming college campuses!!!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Hip Hop both Drizzy and Cole wanted to dedicate their stage energy to the fans who truly drive up their numbers -- the younger generation!!!

There's also the addition of dates in Lexington, KY where Drake's beloved Wildcats play ... and State College, PA, home to Penn State, but Cole won't be at that one.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

They also set out to pay homage to the communities that embraced them early in their careers ... Drake has proclaimed Columbus, OH to be his 2nd home since his debut "Away from Home" tour and the city's Schottenstein Center now has TWO dates after being shut out from the 'Blur' tour's first leg.

Memphis also gets a make-good date after the FedEx Forum reportedly wasn't prepared for all the tour's glitzy decorations, but the stage should be ready to go come March!!!

Canadian fans were initially upset the tour was announced without any dates in their area but we're told the 2nd leg is designed primarily to service cities who missed out last time.

Ditto for Cole's North Carolina hometown -- his Dreamville Festival kicks off April 6-7, a week after Blur II comes to a close!!!

Drake & J. Cole Nuestros fans de college nunca fallan ... Esta gira es para ustedes!!!

Published | Updated

Drake y J. Cole están buscando acumular críticas A+ para su gira ampliada "It's All a Blur" ... ¡¡¡han seleccionado intencionalmente ciudades con campus universitarios en auge!!!

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ Hip Hop que tanto Drizzy como Cole querían dedicar su energía escénica a los fans que realmente impulsan sus números, ¡¡¡la generación más joven!!!

También sumaron fechas en lugares como Lexington, Kentucky, donde juegan los amados Wildcats de Drake y en el State College, hogar de Penn State, pero Cole no estará presente en esa fecha.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

También se propusieron rendirle homenaje a las comunidades que los abrazaron al principio de sus carreras. Drake ha proclamado a Columbus, en Ohio, como su segundo hogar desde su gira debut "Away from Home" y el Schottenstein Center de la ciudad ahora tiene DOS fechas después de haber sido excluido de la primera etapa de la gira "Blur".

Memphis también tiene una fecha de compensación después de que el FedEx Forum no estuviera preparado para toda la decoración de la gira, ¡¡¡pero el escenario debiese estar listo para marzo!!!

Inicialmente, los fans canadienses también se molestaron por no tener ninguna fecha durante la gira, pero nos han dicho que la segunda etapa está diseñada principalmente para atender a las ciudades que se perdieron la última vez.

Lo mismo ocurre con la ciudad natal de Cole, Carolina del Norte: su Dreamville Festival comienza el 6 y 7 de abril, una semana después de que Blur II llegue a su fin.

Russell Westbrook Dances W/ Wife At 35th Bday Bash ... 'The Birthday Boo!'

CUTTIN' LOOSE

The Clippers might've lost Sunday, but that didn't stop Russell Westbrook from having a blast celebrating his 35th trip around the Sun ... dancing the night away at his birthday party with his wife, Nina!

Nina shared video of the special moment with her 9x NBA All-Star hubby on Instagram on Monday ... showing the two hand in hand, twirling on the dance floor, celebrating Westbrook's bday.

You can hear Russ's family and friends, including L.A. rapper/singer Blxst, cheerin' them on while Nina, who claims to not be the dancing type, gives it all she has.

"The birthday boo gets one dance outta me," Nina joked.

Russ and Nina have been together since they met in 2007 when both of them played college ball at UCLA.

Of course, Westbrook went on to be the 4th pick in the NBA Draft in 2008, while Nina hit the books hard, graduating with her bachelor's in psychology and master's in clinical psychology.

She is now a licensed marriage and family therapist.

The couple tied the knot in August 2015 and welcomed their first son, Noah, in May 2017. They had two more kids, twin daughters Skye and Jordyn, in 2018.

"Happy Happy Birthday Suga!," Nina said in an IG post. "You’re so loved and appreciated! Never forget it! I love you!"

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Unfortunately, the bday shenanigans come after the Clippers 5th consecutive loss ... putting them squarely in 11th place in the West with a 3-6 record.

Westbrook had 12 points and 5 assists in the loss ... and a dope party!

Happy birthday, Russ!

Johnny Manziel Miles Teller's My Johnny Football ... If I Had A Biopic

Published

Johnny Manziel's rise to superstardom was nothing short of a movie ... and if Hollywood ever decides to actually turn his story into a real flick, the Heisman winner knows exactly who he wants to play him!!

Of course, Johnny's journey to becoming a household name as a college quarterback was filled with plenty of drama and excitement during his time at Texas A&M -- from partying and arrests to huge victories and hanging out with celebs like Justin Bieber and Drake, the guy couldn't keep out of the headlines if he tried.

Manziel's ups and downs were covered in a popular Netflix documentary ... and given that project's success, it wouldn't be surprising if a studio gives the green light on a feature film about Johnny down the line.

If that day comes, the former NFLer already has a guy in mind to take on the role -- Miles Teller.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

"We've met a couple times in L.A. and stuff," Johnny told Broadcast Boys. "It's been talked about before. So, we'll go Miles Teller. It's safe to say."

While Teller is an accomplished actor, it's worth mentioning he's already about 15 years older than Johnny was when he tore it up in College Station ... but hey, it's Hollywood. Stranger things have happened.

Johnny had some other interesting answers ... saying if he were to go back and play for Texas A&M right now, he'd have them heading to the College Football Playoff ... and if NIL deals were a thing during his time, he would have made a couple million.

French clearly had a ball ... he and Offset dapped it up and posed for photos together as the bottle service was flowing -- Travis Scott made a cameo and we're told Chrisean Rock stopped through to help lead the "Happy Birthday" serenade.

Chris Brown was also in the building, and in good spirits... he dropped his 11:11 album last night but still made time to swoop in to show French love.

The crowd was partying around a candlelit pool, and a violinist armed with a glowing neon violin also performed to spice up the festivities.

The event also doubled as a teaser for French's upcoming mixtape "Mac & Cheese 5" ... a continuation of the series that helped boost his path to becoming the highest-streamed African-born artist of all time!!!

Taylor Swift Debuta en el Instagram de Brittany Mahomes ... Sin problemas con la champaña!

Published | Updated

¡La amistad de Taylor Swift y Brittany Mahomes es oficial en Instagram! La esposa del QB superestrella de los Chiefs finalmente compartió una foto personal de su fin de semana en Nueva York, donde la cantante lo pasó muy bien con algunas amigas de los Kansas City.

Por supuesto, la pareja de Patrick estuvo en la Gran Manzana con Swift y sus amigas VIP, Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner y Gigi Hadid hace unos días, tomada del brazo con la nueva novia de Travis Kelce fuera del restaurante Bond Street.

A juzgar por los nuevos mensajes de Brittany en las redes sociales, parece que Taylor se hizo un tiempo para sus nuevas amigas el sábado, incluyendo a la esposa del quarterback de los Chiefs Shane Buechele, Paige, y la pareja del tight end Blake Bell, Lyndsay.

Como informamos anteriormente, Paige y Lyndsay fueron vistas saliendo del apartamento de Taylor en TriBeCa después del partido de los Chiefs contra los Miami Dolphins (que fue en Alemania), con las chicas emperifolladas con ropa de juego.

El cuarteto posó para las fotos mientras disfrutaban de un poco de champán (sabemos que Brittany ama a las burbujas) y está claro que congenian muy bien.

Estamos adivinando que no todo el mundo va a amar la sesión de fotos. Probablemente, este es el motivo por el que la ex de Travis, Kayla Nicole, decidió dejar de seguir a su amiga, Brittany, explicando que era necesario para ella proteger su salud mental.

Al parecer, este será el último hurra para el grupo, al menos en el futuro previsible. La gira internacional de Swift comienza el jueves en Argentina.

La pregunta es, teniendo en cuenta que Taylor se presentó a cuatro de los partidos de Trav, y con los Chiefs en su semana de descanso, ¿estará Kelce en sus conciertos?

Taylor Swift Debuts On Brittany Mahomes Instagram ... No 'Champagne Problems' Here!

Published

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes' friendship is Instagram official ... 'cause the wife of the Chiefs superstar QB finally shared a personal pic from their weekend in NYC where the singer spent some quality time with a few fellow K.C. WAGS!

Of course, Patrick's partner hit the Big Apple with Swift and her VIP gal pals Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner and Gigi Hadid a few days back ... locking arms with Travis Kelce's new boo outside the Bond Street restaurant.

Judging by Brittany's new social media posts, it looks like Taylor made some time for her new friends on Saturday, too -- Chiefs backup quarterback Shane Buechele's wife, Paige, and tight end Blake Bell's partner, Lyndsay.

As we previously reported, Paige and Lyndsay were spotted leaving Taylor's TriBeCa apartment following the Chiefs' matchup with the Miami Dolphins (which was in Germany) ... with the ladies decked out in gameday gear.

The foursome posed for photos as they enjoyed some champagne (we know Brittany loves her bubbly) ... and it's clear they've already hit it off.

We're guessing not everyone's going to love the photo sesh ... this is presumably why Travis' ex, Kayla Nicole, unfollowed her once-bestie, Brittany, explaining it was necessary in order to protect her mental health.

It was seemingly the last hurrah for the group ... at least for the foreseeable future. Swift's international tour kicks off on Thursday in Argentina.

The question is, considering Taylor showed up to 4 of Trav's games, and with the Chiefs on their bye week, will Kelce be in the building?!

Katy Perry had the time of her life after closing the curtain on her Las Vegas residency ... living it up with her boo, Orlando Bloom, at The Chainsmokers' concert.

Orlando and Katy were groovin' Saturday night at the DJ duo's residency at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas ... the "Firework" singer was really feelin' the music, grabbing the mic and singing along to the track -- even if she didn't totally nail the lyrics.

It appears KP had a couple of drinks in her, having some playful fun with 1/2 of the Chainsmokers crew, Drew Taggart -- but hey, she's earned it after closing a big chapter in her musical career.

For those unaware, Katy kicked off her Vegas residency at the end of 2021, putting on 80 shows at Resorts World Theatre. At her final show on Saturday, Katy called Orlando an amazing father and said her 3-year-old daughter, Daisy, was her "best friend."

Katy also teased the crowd after her last show ended -- a screen lowered that read, "See ya next year ..." hinting at more exciting things to come not just for the singer, but for the fans!

Katy Perry tuvo el mejor momento de su vida después de cerrar el telón de su residencia en Las Vegas. Asistió con su novio, Orlando Bloom, al concierto de The Chainsmokers.

Orlando y Katy estaban gozando el sábado por la noche en la residencia del dúo de DJs en el XS Nightclub en el interior del Wynn Las Vegas. La cantante de "Firework" estaba realmente sintiendo la música, agarrando el micrófono y cantando a todo pulmón (a pesar de que no le atinaba totalmente a las letras).

Parece que Katy había tomado un par de copas, y se posó el rato con la mitad de Chainsmokers, Drew Taggart. Se lo ganó luego de cerrar un gran capítulo en su carrera musical.

Para aquellos que no lo sepan, Katy inició su residencia en Las Vegas a finales de 2021, ofreciendo 80 shows en el Resorts World Theatre. En su show final el sábado, Katy llamó a Orlando un padre increíble y dijo que su hija de 3 años, Daisy, era su "mejor amiga".

Katy le dio un mensaje a la multitud después de su último show. Una pantalla bajó que decía: "Nos vemos el próximo año..." ¡Insinuando cosas emocionantes por venir tanto para ella como para los fans!

KIM KARDASHIAN Attends ODELL BECKHAM JR.'s BDAY

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian had a busy trip to NYC, also stopping in at Odell Beckham Jr.'s 31st birthday bash ...  after TMZ confirmed they had started "hanging out" thanks to mutual friends.

Making her way to the party following the 2023 CFDA Awards, busy bee Kim stole the spotlight in her black, figure-hugging lace-up gown.

Kim was in good company, with other attendees such as Lil Baby, Saquon Barkley, Saweetie, Stefon Diggs, James Harden, Ashley Graham, Justine Skye and more.

We were previously told Kim and Odell have run in the same circle for years ... but it's only recently that the SKIMS queen fueled romance speculation with the NFL athlete.

It's not clear who KK and OBJ's mutual friends are ... but this isn't the first time she has shown up for Odell's personal extravaganzas. Last November, she rocked up to his milestone 30th at Mother Wolf in L.A., and both attended Michael Rubin's July 4th White Party earlier this year.

Kim has been single since she split from former 'SNL' star Pete Davidson in August 2022 following a whirlwind 9-month romance. Meanwhile, OBJ and his longtime GF, Lauren Wood, split early this year.

While our sources divulged that Kim isn't serious about dating, it was added that she's absolutely open to finding love again if she finds the right person ... so what we're trying to say is that for Odell ... this may be the calm before the score.

Kim Kardashian Asiste al cumpleaños de Odell Beckham Jr.

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian tuvo un ajetreado viaje a Nueva York. Además de sus otros compromisos, Kim se detuvo en el cumpleaños número 31 de Odell Beckham Jr., después de que TMZ confirmara que ambos comenzaron a "salir" gracias a algunos amigos en común.

Kim fue a su fiesta después de participar en los Premios CFDA 2023, donde la estrella de la televisión se robó las miradas con su ajustado vestido negro de encaje.

En el cumpleaños de Odell estuvo en compañía de algunos famosos de la lista A, como Lil Baby, Saquon Barkley, Saweetie, Stefon Diggs, James Harden, Ashley Graham, Justine Skye y más.

Nos habían dicho que Kim y Odell habían estado compartiendo en el mismo círculo por años, pero solo recientemente comenzaron las especulaciones de que la reina de SKIMS está teniendo un romance con el atleta de la NFL.

No está claro quiénes son esos amigos en común de Kim y Odell, pero esta no es la primera vez que aparece en las extravagancias personales de Odell. El pasado mes de noviembre (2022), estuvo en su cumpleaños 30 en el Mother Wolf en Los Ángeles y ambos asistieron a la fiesta de Michael Rubin por el 4 de julio a principios de este año.

Kim ha estado soltera desde que se separó de la ex estrella de 'SNL' Pete Davidson en agosto de 2022, después de un romance relámpago de 9 meses. Mientras que Odell y su novia desde hace mucho tiempo, Lauren Wood, se separaron a principios de este año.

Aunque nuestras fuentes nos han dicho que Kim no va en serio con las citas, también dicen que está absolutamente abierta a encontrar el amor de nuevo si encuentra a la persona adecuada... así que lo que estamos tratando de decir es que para Odell esto puede ser "la calma" antes de la agitación.

Texas Rangers' Nathaniel Lowe Sucks Down Fan's Beer, Loses Shirt ... Epic World Series Parade

Published

Nathaniel Lowe was so giddy during the Rangers' World Series parade Friday, he straight-up downed a fan's beer in seconds -- and then ripped off his shirt in celebration of the achievement!!

The 2022 Silver Slugger award winner was being driven around in the back of a pickup truck to soak in love from Texas fans when the hilarious moment happened.

You can see in video from the scene in Arlington, a Rangers supporter tossed Lowe a Modelo -- before the first baseman cracked it open and drank it 'til the last drop.

But, he wasn't done there ... he then ripped off his jersey and his undershirt -- much to the crowd's delight.

Thousands of people showed up to celebrate Lowe and his Rangers after they won the title over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday ... and one supporter was so thrilled by his team's performance, he actually climbed to the top of a light pole to pump his fists.

Thankfully, he reportedly made it down unharmed.

Following the jaunt around the city ... the Rangers then took the stage to address their fans -- and Series MVP Corey Seager delivered an epic drop-the-mic moment.

Enjoy the day, Texas ... ya'll earned it!!
