The Kardashians

Lionel Richie didn't answer immediately when we asked him if the rumor was true that he's Khloe Kardashian's dad ... but he answered definitively.

Khloe's paternity made headlines again when a tabloid claimed the "Dancing on the Ceiling" crooner was actually her pops.

But as he left Madeo Monday night, Richie laughed it off ... though he does care for KK very much.

Of course he isn't, everyone knows it's really O.J. Simpson ... We kid.

Kylie Jenner and Tyga still deny they're a couple -- smart since she's 17 and he's 24 -- but that's not stopping them from flying together all over Europe, where it just so happens the age of consent would be more favorable for them to ... y'know.

Tyga and Kylie were spotted together at England's Gatwick Airport on Friday ... then traveled on to Bordeaux, France and Geneva, Switzerland ... before landing in Athens, Greece where Tyga had a gig Sunday night.

Seems odd that Kylie would go on tour with Tyga -- if they're just friends -- but then we noticed the age of consent for sex in those countries:

England -- 16
France -- 15
Switzerland -- 16
Greece -- 15

The consent age is 18 under Federal and California law. Of course, there's still no evidence they're banging -- and Tyga's been adamant they're NOT -- but ya gotta wonder if they read up on international laws before departing ... just in case.

NBC News is HILARIOUS ... pretending to be above "tabloid" celebrity news and then not-so-coyly jumping into that pool.

Hoda Kotb interviewed Kris Jenner on "Today" Monday ... pretending to care about her new cookbook -- but you gotta hear how she transitions into transsexual talk. Hysterical.

It's also interesting. Kris calls reports about Bruce Jenner becoming a woman "silly" ... saying there have been rumors since the '70s. But when it came to our story about Kris being furious that Bruce is now dating her former BFF ... she pretends she doesn't know who he's dating. She does.

Nice cooking segment.

Dammmmmmmmmmnn .... is pretty much all you can say about Kim Kardashian's ass-entuating outfit for a Sunday afternoon outing with Kanye West.

The couple hit up a theater in Calabasas for a movie date and on the way out Kim proudly displayed her trademark in cutoff jeans and a back-baring top -- then they hit up a Taco Bell drive-thru.

You can tell from the photo ... Kanye gives this rearview two thumbs up. Way up.

Not to be a buzzkill -- but rubbing your bare back on a movie theater seat? Risky business.

Bruce Jenner can't be contained ... well, not by his shirt anyway.

B.J. hit up Starbucks Saturday afternoon in Calabasas after a round of golf, and got all crazy -- untucking his shirt on the way in for a more casual look.

As we previously reported ... Bruce is dating one of Kris Jenner's best friends named Ronda Kamihira -- and we're told his ex-wife has been crying every night over it.

Bruce and his ponytail ... seem okay with the single life.

Kris Jenner has been crying every night over Bruce Jenner's new date ... who happens to be Kris' former best friend for the last 20 years.

We're told Kris feels utterly betrayed by Ronda Kamihira ... who to this day has not said a word to her about seeing Bruce. Kris has seen photos of Bruce and Ronda in public, including the Elton John concert on Oct. 4th in L.A. She feels humiliated and played.

We're also told Kris has not confronted Bruce about Ronda -- and doesn't care if they're banging or not. She feels Bruce being out with Ronda on dates -- even casual ones -- given that Ronda was a family friend with whom they vacationed and shared holidays -- is just appalling.

One source said Kris is "torn apart and angry."

Bruce Jenner is dating one of Kris Jenner's best friends ... TMZ has confirmed.

Our Jenner sources tell TMZ ... Bruce has hooked up with Ronda Kamihira ... a divorced, 51-year-old mother of 2.

We're told Kris is "extremely upset" that Bruce is dating Ronda, and -- as one source puts it -- "It really stings because Ronda never told Kris she started seeing Bruce."

And get this ... for years Ronda and the Jenners have been neighbors in Hidden Hills, CA, even spending holidays at each other's homes.

The daughters on both sides have become friends. Ronda's daughter, Spencer, took this pic with Kendall and posted it on her Twitter page.

A Jenner source tells us the talk within the family was that Ronda was weirdly becoming "Kris' single white female." The source says Ronda mimicked Kris right down to her hair.

This pic was taken at Staples Center in L.A., when Bruce and Ronda went to Elton John's concert.

And here's how awkward this is ... the pic (above) shows Ronda and Kris on vacation together in Dubai just a few years back.

Some kid put his picture on Kylie Jenner's car and asked her to follow him on Instagram -- and next thing ya know, the guy is a social media star! Is that all it takes these days?

Photobombing a Kardashian/Jenner is a ton cheaper than college!

Tyga is NOT hooked on Kylie Jenner ... at least if you believe what his baby mama just telegraphed.

Blac Chyna just posted a pic of her and Tyga all cuddly ... then almost instantly deleted it from her Instagram. The caption read, "by the way he said I'm not missin no meals" -- a reference to fine asses from "Anaconda."

The message ... he likes Chyna's ass ... NOT anyone else's.

Here's the rub. Tyga's been seen all over town with 17-year-old Kylie ... most recently on Tuesday, and it sure looked like a date.

One of the Kardashian-Jenners is still getting good use out of the Jeep Wrangler Sahara French Montana bought Khloe K for her birthday ... it's just not Khloe, it's Kylie.

Kylie was spotted in the $50,000 whip while cruising around Calabasas -- and older sis, Kendall has also been driving it around town.

As TMZ previously reported, the SUV was part of French's 30th birthday gift to Khloe -- who's clearly no longer riding the gift. Or the gift giver.

Good thing Kylie's driving record is impeccable ...ish.

Retired "Girls Gone Wild" owner Joe Francis and his girlfriend just gave birth to twin Mexican girls -- well, technically, since she gave birth in Mexico -- and the newborn babes already have a fairy godmother -- Kris Jenner.

Joe's partner, Abbey, delivered two healthy girls -- Alexandria Claire and Athena Olivia -- Tuesday at a hospital in Puerto Vallarta ... and since they were born in Mexico, they're automatically given Mexican citizenship.

Sources close to the family tell us ... the babies are already being showered with gifts ... including pink Hermes blankets and Hermes clothing courtesy of Kris Jenner and the Kardashians.

The couple -- who live in Punta Mita -- conceived the girls through in vitro fertilization -- which can allow parents to choose the sex and other characteristics of their child. Francis said they chose IVF to make sure their babies were healthy and free of genetic illnesses.

Tyga and Kylie Jenner were out together Monday night ... and we're told it was a date, but the way "date" is defined is, well, a sensitive issue.

The youngins went to Kabuki restaurant in Hollywood. Sources close to Tyga tell us they are "dating" but are quick to add that does not mean they are physical. It's important, because he's 24 and she's 17.

One Tyga source told us ... if we even insinuate they are having physical contact he will deny he's dating Kylie ... even though the source says Tyga privately says he's dating her.

BTW ... sitting on the same side of the booth is prima facie dating, right?

Baby North West has a couple of interesting toys -- doll versions of her famous parents -- and they are the spitting image of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, right down to her hips.

Bruce Jenner changed his look up for the Elton John concert in L.A. Saturday night.

B.J. went to the show with his son Brandon Jenner and Brandon's wife. Another random girl tagged along ... but no word on who she is ... or if it was any sort of date.

Bruce and Kris Jenner made their split official last month when Kris filed for divorce.

In case you haven't been to an Elton John concert ... that's the place you let your ponytail down.

The man who attacked Jonathan Cheban with a knife 4 months ago was shot and killed by NYPD officers Friday after a tense standoff.

Police say Denis Volchkin had ransacked his mother's home in Brooklyn and when officers arrived he was sitting on a couch with 3 knives next to him. Cops tried to talk him into surrendering, but he eventually lunged at them with one of the knives ... and they opened fire.

Volchkin was hit once in the body, and died later at a hospital.

Law enforcement sources, and Cheban himself, tell TMZ ... Volchkin is the same man who lunged at Jonathan when he was in a Brooklyn sushi joint back in May.

TMZ broke the story ... the "Keeping up with the Kardashians" regular was leaving the restaurant after Volchkin -- who had a knife on him -- tailed JC around the spot. When Volchkin made his move, Cheban's bodyguard punched him in the face and subdued him.

Selena Gomez takes one trip to Paris and suddenly she's a changed woman ... who's apparently settled her blood feud with the Kardashians -- and proved it by giving Kris Jenner a ride home.

Selena was swarmed by photogs late Wednesday afternoon as she came home from Paris Fashion Week -- and just as her SUV was pulling away the big shocker happened ... Mama Kardashian jumped in the backseat with her.

As we told you ... Selena had a major falling out with the Ks after Coachella ... blaming them for her out-of-control partying.

Remember, while she was in Paris she also posed for pics with Miranda Kerr -- who allegedly hooked up with Justin a few years back.
