Khloe Kardashian, Caitlyn Jenner No (Bday) Bad Blood ... It's All Rosy, Baby!!!

Settle down drama queens and pot stirrers, 'cause everything's coming up roses between Khloe Kardashian and Caitlyn Jenner ... literally.
There have been rumors Khloe and Caitlyn are beefing and that's one of the reasons why Khloe was NOT part of Caitlyn's 70th birthday dinner entourage Tuesday night. But, sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... it's all gravy, baby.
For starters, Khloe didn't make it to Caitlyn's dinner -- which included Kendall, Kylie, Brandon, Kim and Kourtney -- because she was shooting a commercial all day. Our sources tell us Caitlyn knew Khloe wouldn't make it 'cause Khloe herself called and told her.
Then there's this ... our sources say Khloe sent Caitlyn an exquisite flower arrangement. In fact, Khloe's pink and white rose arrangement was front and center when Caitlyn posted a picture of the bountiful blossoms Tuesday on her Instagram. She captioned it "Birthday today! So blessed to have so much love in my life from family and friends."
Oh, and there was some buzz Caitlyn canceled an appearance last week at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, FL after she found out Khloe was gonna be there too.
However, our sources say Hard Rock actually canceled Caitlyn's appearance at the last minute due to budget constraints.
So, yes, Khloe and Caitlyn have had their issues in the past, but that had nothing to do with Khloe missing Caitlyn's dinner ... or them missing each other in South Florida.
Much ado about nothing ... said family spokesman William Shakespeare.

Kim K's Pal Jonathan Cheban No More The Name's Foodgod, Legally!!!

Jonathan Cheban -- Kim Kardashian's longtime friend and frequent guest on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" -- just turned his Instagram handle into his legal name. Chow down!!!!
JC filed legal docs in Florida -- his primary residence, it seems -- asking a judge to sign off on the name change from Jonathan Cheban to .................... wait for it ...
...
...
.... just a little bit more
........... FOODGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's actually just Foodgod, but you get the idea. And yes, there's no capital G in the name, and the words aren't split up either as some media outlets have stylized it in the past. Sorry about that, holy folks and grammar nerds. Unfortunately for you, the Foodgod has spoken.
TMZ got a hold of the official judgment that was entered last week. It ain't all that fancy -- a name change isn't complicated. But, for Jonathan Foodgod, it carries significant weight.
If you don't know, FG's been all about the eats for a while now -- being a bonafide foodie is kinda his thing, and he proudly showcases it all over his social media pages. Literally, it seems like just about every post is related to good grub ... he even sleeps with food.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
And, of course, Jon's been rockin' the @foodgod handle for a minute too. But, if you check out his IG today ... you'll see he's got the registered trademark symbol next to it.
Next stop ... the DMV!!!

Exclusive
- 8.5K shares
Kanye West says he's ready to hit the road "right away" and give fans a chance to hear "Jesus is King" live ... in what will be his first tour in 3 years.
We got Kim and Kanye taking a not-so-quiet stroll in NYC Friday, getting mobbed by fans. Kanye was super cool, talking about his album and upcoming plans. He seems to have a stage design in mind -- no floating one this time around.
And, get this ... Kanye's chartered a two-story bus to cruise the streets of NYC and blast his album. Fans chased it down to get a listen, and one even wore a king's crown.
The last time Kanye was on a headlining tour was back in 2016 for the Saint Pablo Tour. The whole thing was slated to run until late December but was stopped in late November when Kanye was hospitalized to get treatment for mental health issues.
Of course, he's been holding his now famous Sunday Service events complete with a band and live choir every week for almost a year ... but you gotta assume he's itching to get back inside arenas for a headlining gig.

Kim and Kanye Hit Gala in NYC ... But Where's The Album?!!!
9:05 AM PT -- "Jesus is King" just dropped ... the project is 11 songs and 27 minutes long.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West hit the town in NYC as the second deadline for Ye's "Jesus is King" came and went ... but he says he won't sleep til it's out.
The couple attended the 2019 FGI Night of Stars Gala at Cipriani Wall Street Thursday -- earlier in the day, Kanye told fans his album was to drop at midnight -- and Kanye took to Twitter to address the missed release time.
Ye tweeted, "To my fans. Thank you for being loyal & patient. We are specifically fixing mixes on 'Everything We Need' 'Follow God' & 'Water.' We not going to sleep until this album is out!"
You'll remember ... back in August, Kim tweeted out a tracklist and said "Jesus is King" was to drop September 27 ... that date came and went without an album as well.
Kanye revealed a much different tracklist Thursday, with only 4 song titles still remaining from Kim's original list.
Yeezy held a massive listening party Wednesday in Los Angeles at The Forum where fans got a screening of his "Jesus is King" IMAX film. He then previewed the album for fans ... that -- nearly 10 hours post-deadline -- still has not come out.

Kanye West just revealed the tracklist for his highly anticipated album, "Jesus is King" ... and it's a radically different version than the one Kim shared back in August.
Though there has been some skepticism based around previously missed album deadlines, Kanye is assuring everyone 'JiK' will hit at midnight.
The 11-song tracklist Kanye revealed is one song less than what Kim put out ... but there are a whole lot of song titles that have changed. In fact, only 4 of the titles Kim shared remain on Kanye's list.
Of course, the songs themselves may have stayed the same -- with only a title change -- but it's also possible Ye scrapped 8 records altogether.
Some of the new track names include ... "Follow God," "On God," "Everything We Need," "Use The Gospel," and "Jesus is Lord."
As we reported ... Yeezy held a massive album listening event at The Forum in L.A. Wednesday night. Fans were treated to a screening of his "Jesus is King" IMAX project and then a full preview of the album.
Kanye promised the new project would be fully immersed in religion, and that's exactly what "Jesus is King" is ... with lyrics about God, being saved and minimal cursing.

Kanye West Brings Jesus to Los Angeles
Kanye West turned one of L.A.'s most famous indoor venues into an outdoor oasis as fans gathered to hear his new album, "Jesus is King."
Yeezy faithful flocked to The Forum Wednesday to get a listen to Ye's latest project ... the floor of the arena was covered in long grasses to resemble the field where he first started Sunday Services.
The event -- which was a no-phone zone (except for Kim) -- started out with a screening of Kanye's "Jesus is King" IMAX film ... a 30-minute glimpse inside the Roden Crater with sounds from a gospel choir.
Then, Kanye appeared on a makeshift stage in the middle of one of the patches of long grass to play his album. Fans went nuts, crowding around Ye to vibe to the new music.
As for the album ... the production is top-notch, as expected, but the lyrics are noticeably different than Kanye's other stuff. It's totally gospel-based, with mentions of Jesus and being saved throughout ... there's also minimal -- if any -- cursing.
And yes, there was merch ... fans lined up deep to grab $170 sweaters and $45 hats.
Ye promised a gospel album, and that's exactly what he will deliver for Friday's release of "Jesus is King."

Exclusive Details

Rob Kardashian's been using his time out of the public eye to focus on his health and drop some pounds ... and a lot of it's thanks to saying no to alcohol.
The Kardashian bro was spotted in Kim's Instagram Story from her birthday celebration Monday night, clearly looking a lot leaner than he used to.
Sources close to Rob tell TMZ ... he quit drinking recently and has been focusing on making better diet choices -- including cutting down on fast food. We're told he's also exercising on the reg and playing a lot of basketball to get in shape.
All of this combined has led to him shedding a lot of weight -- our sources say in the ballpark of 20 lbs. ... maybe more compared to a couple years ago.
We're told Rob's in the best place he's been mentally in a long time too ... fully devoted to raising his daughter, Dream, and making sure she's growing up happily.
Along with this positive development, Rob's also managed to avoid any dust-ups with his baby mama, Blac Chyna, for the past several months ... and that's good for everyone's health.
As for Rob's sister's 39th birthday party ... it was pretty sweet. The fam got a "home cooked meal" from Carousel Restaurant -- which cooks up Middle Eastern cuisine -- and Kim was showered with gifts.
The best one, though, came in the form of a million-dollar donation from Kanye in her honor ... to support some of her favorite charities.

Blac Chyna Turned Deposition into Photo Shoot ... Say Kardashian Lawyers

Blac Chyna allegedly used her time with Kardashian family attorneys to change outfits, strike poses and take photos ... when she was supposed to be answering serious questions.
According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... BC was scheduled to appear on September 24 for a deposition in her lawsuit against the Kardashians. The Kardashians claim it got off to a bad start when Chyna showed up more than 90 minutes late for what was already scheduled to be a 7-hour session.
But, what REALLY pissed off the Kardashians' legal team was BC allegedly holding up the deposition by engaging "in a photoshoot during the lunch break."
That's right ... in docs, team Kardashian says Chyna brought a suitcase filled with several wardrobe changes and snapped off a not-so-quick photo sesh for Fashion Nova while at her lawyer's office.
One of the outfits included a black trench coat/dress. She captioned that picture, "Stepped into the office to handle some business."
The Kardashians' lawyers beg to differ. According to docs, Chyna did everything but handle biz. They claim she was uncooperative, and her lawyers had to coach her throughout the deposition.
As we've reported ... BC's suing the Kardashians claiming they threatened to pull 'KUWTK' from E! and take it somewhere else if the network didn't put the kibosh on Chyna's spin-off reality show.

Kylie Jenner Trademarks 'Rise and Shine'
Kylie Jenner's no fool ... when she sees something that's hot, she tries to own it, which is what she wants to do with the catch phrase, "Rise and Shine."
Kylie filed legal docs asking the feds for ownership of a slang version of the famous wake-up call ... "RIIISE AND SHIIINNEE."
The trademark would cover belts, pants, coats, dresses, footwear, gloves, headbands, headwear, jackets, loungewear, scarves, sleepwear, socks, swimwear and undergarments ... as well as cosmetics.
Kylie did a YouTube tour of her office earlier this month, walked into Stormi's room -- where she was sleeping in her crib -- and began singing "Rise and Shine" to wake her up. It exploded online and the Kardashians/Jenners are nothing if not brilliant business people, so what better ploy than to ride the wave and take advantage.
As we reported, the hashtag #RiseandShine hit a billion views on TikTok earlier this week, making it the fastest spike ever on the platform. She's also already selling sweatshirts with the phrase, and they've sold out ... and you have to imagine, a makeup line is in the works.

Kim K Kanye's Gift for My 39th A Milli for Prison Reform Orgs!!!
Kim Kardashian just entered the last year of her 30s and as a gift ... her husband, Kanye, got her something she seems to appreciate more than any one material item.
The middle Kardashian sister hit the big 3-9 Monday, and to celebrate ... it appears she kept it relatively low-key with her closest loved ones -- including Ye and the kids. She posted a few videos of what she described as a "home cooked meal" from Carousel Restaurant ... which cooks up Middle Eastern cuisine. KK and co. also had a beignet truck pay 'em a visit.
The biggest revelation came a bit later in the night though, when Kim posted a photo of a letter she'd received ... which said a million-dollar donation had been made in her name.
Kim says Kanye gave the money to her fave charities -- which focus on prison reform, which she's obviously passionate about -- and got the kids in on it too. The charities included Cut 50, Buried Alive Project, Equal Justice Initiative and the Anti-Recidivism Coalition.
The idea of a donation as a gift may seem a little Costanza-ish -- remember "Festivus?" -- but these orgs are very much real ... and a million bucks goes a long way toward the cause.
She sure has come a long way, huh? Happy birthday!!!

We got the supermodel posing with attitude Monday afternoon right in the middle of the street, surrounded by tons of cameras, crew, and hungry lunch-goers.
While Kendall was working on perfecting her slouch, one very protective crew member was handling security ... to not much success. There are 4 million people in L.A., bro. Good luck.
Didn't bother Kendall, though, who was focused on the shoot at all times. Best unintentional Chipotle ad we've seen in a long time.

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Cohabiting at Kylie's Crib ... Breaking Up is Hard to Do

Exclusive

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott don't seem fully committed to breaking up, because they're spending an awful lot of time together, and it may not just be about Stormi.
Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ ... Kylie and Travis are getting very comfortable together since their split, and he's been spending lots of time at her house -- something we're told will continue.
We broke the story ... Travis dislocated his knee after falling onstage at Rolling Loud, and now we're told the injury is one of the reasons he's been holed up at Kylie's crib in Calabasas, where he's mostly hanging with Stormi.
We're told when he's not at Kylie's main crib ... Travis is spending nights at the home he and Kylie shared in Bev Hills.
Our sources say Kylie and Travis are maintaining a friendship, and over the next few months, they plan on spending even more time together with Stormi because the holidays are fast approaching.
Those plans are already in motion ... as we've reported, Kylie and Travis took Stormi to a pumpkin patch earlier this week from some good ol' fashioned Halloween fun. But, it was telling the parents only took pics with their kid.
As of now, our sources say the plan is to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas as a family, and the goal for Kylie and Travis is to keep things familiar for Stormi with family parties and events including both mom and dad.
And, get this ... while Kylie and Travis aren't currently a "couple," we're told some of their friends believe the exes will get back together by the end of the year. Remember, there's a little bit of a pattern here ... break up, make up, break up, etc.
