The Kardashians

Robert Kardashian may be gone, but his memory burns bright, because almost the entire Kardashian brood turned up to celebrate what would have been his 72nd birthday.

Kris Jenner hosted the bash at her Calabasas home. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie were all there, dining on traditional Armenian food, including, hummus, pita bread, stuffed vine leaves, bulgur wheat, string cheese and baklava.

Interestingly, we're told Lamar Odom and Scott Disick were also there.

Blac Chyna is warning Kylie Jenner to stay the hell off her corner -- there's only room for one celebrity chef in the family.

KJ dropped her debut episode of "Cooking with Kylie" Monday morning ... which probably sounds very familiar to her bro Rob Kardashian, since his gf's been doing the same damn thing!

BC's been doing "Cooking with Chyna" on social media for a few months. In fact, Rob was a fan of the page even before he hooked up with Chyna.

Kylie's new venture didn't go over well. Minutes after her 'Cooking' announcement, Chyna posted this not-so-cryptic message: "Bitch Bye Follow @cookingwithchyna #InfatuatedWitChy."

They've got 9 months to sort out who cooks Thanksgiving dinner.

Saint West just made his public debut in honor of his grandfather, Robert Kardashian's birthday ... but there's a whole lot of daddy Kanye West in his face.

Kim Kardashian just posted the first shot of the nearly 3-month-old tyke. Kim captioned the pic: "Today is my dad's birthday. I know there's nothing more in the world he would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren. So I wanted to share this pic of Saint with you all."

Speaking of dads ... Kanye's been sleeping on the job. Kim also posted a pic of 'Ye and North passed out in the middle of a shopping trip for baby stuff at Bel Bambini.

Shop till you drop, right?

Rob Kardashian is sticking to a strict diet -- no fast food, regular workouts and lots of Blac Chyna ... and friends think it's already helped him shed about 40 lbs.

We're told Rob's also cut out red meats and carbs while hitting the gym 5 times a week with a trainer ... plus additional workouts with Chyna.

We're told the couple made a "no cheat days" vow, and they're motivating each other to stick to it.

It's hard to say the program isn't working, based on recent pics. Some home cookin' from Blac Chyna doesn't hurt either ...

Kris Jenner was roundly and thunderously booed off stage at the iHeart 80's concert Saturday night.

Kanye West is stepping up his pool game so much ... he's building a freakin' lake!

TMZ has learned Kanye and Kim Kardashian said screw it, and tore up a perfectly fine pool that used to sit in their backyard -- and will upgrade to a body of hot ice that's more like a small lake, or at least a really big pond.

We're told man-made Lake Kimye will be fully filtered upon completion and at least 5 times the size of any other backyard oasis in the Hidden Hills neighborhood. It's part of the sweeping changes Kim and 'Ye are making to the estate they purchased in 2014.

Of course, Drake recently took a shot at Kanye in his track "Summer Sixteen," saying:

I used to wanna be on Roc-A-Fella then I turned into Jay
Now I got a house in LA, Now I got a bigger pool than 'Ye
And look man, 'Ye’s pool is nice, mine's just big is what I’m saying

Two things come to mind -- 1. Time for a remix, Drake, and 2. So much for being broke, Yeezy!

Blac Chyna finally planted her lips on Rob Kardashian for everyone to see, but something might be missing here.

Considering Rob and Chyna have been almost inseparable for about a month now -- you'd probably expect something more passionate than a BFF-like peck on the cheek for their first Instagram kiss.

No doubt, BC's been great for Rob's confidence and his workout regimen, but c'mon -- where is the love? Where's the passion?

On the other hand ... this is the happiest we've seen Rob in years.

Kylie Jenner beat a hasty, silent retreat at LAX late Wednesday ... still wearing her Adidas as a faint show of support to Kanye.

Kylie was returning from NYC, hours after PUMA announced she is becoming the face and feet of the brand. As we first reported, Kylie blindsided Kanye and Kim ... never telling them she was cutting a PUMA deal.

Kanye was pissed but says he's over it, but you gotta think secret deals between members of the brood won't create warm feelings.

Caitlyn Jenner seems to be taking a page out of daughter Kylie's playbook by getting into the cosmetics biz.

We've learned Caitlyn recently filed a trademark for exclusive rights to hawk makeup under her name.

It's not just cosmetics ... Jenner's application covers fragrances, makeup remover, nail polish, and skin care.

Cait doesn't have a clear plan on how or when she will break into the beauty business. She wanted to secure the trademark before anyone else got the idea.

It's a smart move considering Kylie's insanely popular lip kit line sold out in seconds.

Kanye West acknowledged Kylie Jenner blindsided him by secretly signing with PUMA and he WAS pissed off ... and he says PUMA's competition, Adidas, saved him.

Our photog asked Kanye a slew of questions Wednesday at LAX, and Kanye's choice of words is interesting ... "It's possible to go under and still make it out." Kanye was talking about him sinking $53 million into his fashion biz, and getting no bites from investors.

Kanye has lots of love for Adidas ... which sounds like his peace treaty with Kylie could get problematic.

Kylie Jenner just confused everyone by stepping out in Adidas kicks, almost at the exact same time PUMA announced she's the feet of their brand ... and TMZ now has the real story behind the deal.

Our sources say Kanye -- who has a big deal with Adidas -- was pissed off when he got wind Kylie was negotiating with PUMA and vowed it would never happen because it would be like a family betrayal.

We've learned by the time Kanye got wind of a deal between PUMA and Kylie, the contract was already signed. We're told Kanye was initially angry, but he spoke with Kylie and she explained she got a "carve out," and PUMA agreed to let her wear Adidas in addition to PUMA.

Our sources say Kylie explained to Kanye she got the carve out for him, and at this point couldn't back out or she'd be sued. She added the deal was only for 6 months.

We're told Kanye's now actually ok with the deal, and Kylie's supporting him by stepping out today in Kanye's brand.

Kylie Jenner is a spokesperson for the direct rival of Kanye West ... PUMA.

It's a stunning development ... because remember, just a week ago Kanye tweeted, "1000% there will never be a Kylie PUMA anything."

We're told Kylie will be in the Spring/Summer women's training campaign, which launches in April.

PUMA says Kylie represents, "a fresh and exciting new era for fashion and we couldn't think of a more fitting and influential female to headline this campaign."

Remember, Kanye called out PUMA, telling them, "PUMA, we gone give you your measley million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!"

Family divided.

Alfonso Ribeiro did some serious fame shaming on Scott Disick ... saying being Kardashian-adjacent isn't enough to land a spot on "Dancing with the Stars."

Alfonso, who won 'DWTS' in 2014, went on a bizarre rant about Lord D outside Madeo Tuesday night -- first claiming he doesn't know or care about Disick, but then ripping his celeb status for a good minute.

He flat out says Scott is "not a star," and adds that Kardashians haven't done much to boost 'DWTS' ratings in the past. His point seems to be Disick isn't worth the half a million bucks he's demanding.

There's a lot more haterade, including a shot at Scott's lifestyle.

The only thing more obvious than Rob Kardashian's confidence coming back ... is that Blac Chyna does a body good!

Rob made a rare public appearance with his GF on Tuesday -- looks like the couple was out in L.A. running errands in the tight confines of her Audi R8 sports coupe. As we've reported, Chyna got her man back in the gym where he's been working out regularly and dropping the lbs.

Undeniable proof Kanye West is a changed, more patient man ... he actually sat through a freakin' magic show with Kim Kardashian and North.

Audience members at magician Dan White's small NYC show tell us Yeezy even seemed impressed with the tricks on Sunday night -- so much so, he stepped up when White asked for a volunteer to help with the final card trick.

Check out the video ... Kanye looked totally baffled by White's sleight of hand.

The magician's only mistake was asking Kanye what his magical hand gesture would be. He quickly replied with a double bird salute.

Rob Kardashian's Valentine's gift to Blac Chyna wasn't just romantic and thoughtful -- it was pricey and literally dripping in diamonds ... TMZ has learned.

We found out Tonia Calderon is the artist behind the portrait Rob bought for BC. As we reported, the piece includes lyrics from John Legend's song, "The Beginning."

Sources connected to Rob tell us he dropped $35,000 to commission the artwork ... which took Calderon 2 days to complete. If you're wondering why a 7 foot by 7 foot painting costs $35k -- we're told Calderon covered all the lyrics with diamond dust, which is the residue left after diamonds get cut.

Diamond dust goes for $50 per ounce.

Our sources say Rob and Tonia met through mutual friends a while ago, and he was impressed by her work. She's made similar pieces for Lady Gaga, Dr. Dre and Diddy ... who ordered a Biggie portrait.

We reached out to Tonia Calderon and she had no comment.
