The Kardashians

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott went shoe shopping in NYC the day after the Met Gala, and it was a very hands-on experience for him ... just ask Kylie's ass.

The couple hit up Stadium Goods, which sells rare sneakers, and they couldn't keep their paws off each other, especially Travis ... who got a solid hold of Kylie's rear during the PDA sesh. KJ opted for the more traditional hugs and kisses.

They attended the Gala together Monday night hand-in-hand, and have been pretty much inseparable since their daughter, Stormi, was born.

Khloe Kardashian's family is not happy she's getting back with Tristan Thompson -- and that's a major understatement -- but they're not going to lobby her to kick his ass to the curb.

TMZ broke the story ... Khloe was spotted with TT at a Cleveland restaurant Friday having lunch with friends and then showed up at the Cavaliers' game Saturday to support her baby daddy.

Our Kardashian sources say Khloe's family is outraged he humiliated and betrayed her right before she gave birth to their daughter. We're told they WISH she'd remain civil with him for the sake of their daughter, but move on. That said, they have enormous respect for Khloe and think she's capable of making decisions for herself.

We're told the family is somewhat surprised by the turn of events, because not long ago it looked like she was done with Tristan ... and the family was down with that decision. She was staying in Cleveland because Tristan was on the road and the baby wasn't able to fly.

And this is interesting ... we're told the family privately feels they may never forgive Tristan, but they're not going to attempt to torpedo the relationship.

Thanksgiving should be interesting.

Kim Kardashian West drew inspiration for her new lingerie line from a place just a tad outside of Hollywood ... give or take 5,520 miles.

The company Kim's charged with spearheading her new lingerie line filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- to trademark "Kimono Intimates." The plan is to brand her line with the name and slap it on bustiers, nightgowns, breast shapers, pasties (yeah, pasties), leotards and socks, among other things.

As we first reported ... Kim wasted no time last month getting back into the clothing industry after closing DASH. She teamed up with the same group behind Khloe's successful Good American brand as well as FRAME.

It's interesting ... Kim, Kourtney and Khloe hit up Japan back in February, perhaps getting a head start on Kim's new line. As for the name ... Kimono is a wide-sleeved robe customary in Japan.

Khloe Kardashian has gone public in her support for baby daddy Tristan Thompson ... cheering him on Saturday night as the Cavaliers squeaked past the Raptors by a score of 105 to 103.

Khloe showed up at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland -- escorted by security -- in what is almost certainly a showing that she and Tristan are together ... despite the cheating scandal that rocked her as their baby was being born.

Kylie Jenner isn't letting a little thing like motherhood cramp her style, 'cause Saturday night she hit the Big Apple in a big way.

Kylie was leaving The Mercer Hotel decked out in Alexander Wang ... lookin' motorcycle ready.  She's in town for The Met Gala Monday night.

No sign of Stormi or baby daddy Travis Scott.  They were all in Turks and Caicos celebrating Travis' 26th birthday and Stormi's 3 months BD.

Blac Chyna's value has plummeted at clubs across America, and the reason is simple -- her wagon has been unhitched from the Kardashians.

BC's turning 30 next week, and we're told she's spread the word to promoters she's available for club bookings. We did a little digging and turns out Chyna's earning power has fizzled since breaking up with Rob Kardashian (unless waging courtroom war counts).

The numbers are staggering -- BC went from booking gigs that paid her up to $30k not too long ago in her heyday with Rob & Co. ... to now struggling to snag more than $7k per gig.

That's what several top club promoters in Cali told us, and it gets worse. One promoter said he wouldn't pay her a penny more than $5k because Chyna without Rob is like Sonny without Cher.

A top Miami promoter said the max he'd shell out is $2k because she's not relevant anymore.

Comedian Michael Blackson says he's seen firsthand how slavery wasn't a choice after visiting the Slave Castles in his native Ghana, but he's still willing to give Kanye a pass for his controversial comment.

We got Michael at LAX Thursday and he gave us -- but mostly Kanye -- a lesson about how African slaves were captured at gunpoint. He says Kanye couldn't possibly have meant what he said about slavery being a choice. MB says that would be the equivalent of saying Kim Kardashian chose to get robbed at gunpoint in Paris.

Michael, like many people, thinks Kanye's speaking without fully forming his ideas -- but he has a suggestion for him to snap out of it. Hint: think sunken place.

Kim Kardashian West is in heavy talks with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner to pardon imprisoned grandmother Alice Marie Johnson ... TMZ has confirmed.

Our sources say KKW has been working with Jared and Ivanka for several months on Johnson's freedom and has gotten her attorney, Shawn Holley, involved as well ... we're told Johnson's file is now on President Trump's desk for review.

Johnson was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges -- her first offense. The 62-year-old gained national attention last year when Kim tweeted out a story about her case.

Alice wrote a thank-you note to Kim -- obtained by TMZ -- expressing her "deep and heartfelt gratitude" for shining a light on the unfair situation. She added, "Ms. Kardashian you are literally helping to save my life and restore me to my family. I was drowning and you have thrown me a life jacket and given me hope."

Kanye West thought he'd get killed while being hospitalized at UCLA after suffering a mental breakdown.

In the newly released interview with Charlamagne tha God, West talks about his 8-day hospitalization in 2016. He says Kim was out of town when it happened, so he was only accompanied by friends when he was first admitted. Kanye said he begged his friends not to leave his side, but at one point they were forced to and Ye calls it the scariest moment of his life.

Kanye mentions he thought docs would drug and kill him while he was alone. However, earlier in the interview he mentions the love he felt from several African-American employees in the hospital.

Kanye West and John Legend clearly agree to disagree, because it was all love Friday night at Chrissy Teigen's baby shower.

Kanye and John had been doing some civilized beefing over Yeezy's call to Make America Great Again ... in other words Kanye's support of Donald Trump.

Kanye posted the pic with the caption, "We got love. Agree to disagree."

Chrissy and Kim chummed it up as well. The couples are super close.

Legend is a fierce Trump opponent, who had been calling Kanye out this week and warning him legacy might be tarnished if he doesn't back off.

Kanye fired back, essentially suggesting Legend was trying to squelch free thought. Our Kanye sources say one of the things he's trying to accomplish with his MAGA hat and support of the Prez was symbolic ... that people should not fear expressing and exploring their views.

Kim Kardashian doesn't know how else to say it -- what went down with Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson when Khloe was about to have their child is beyond messed up.

Kim rather bluntly breaks her silence on the Tristan cheating scandal on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"... but says she doesn't want to get too negative about the ordeal because there's a baby involved. She already has experience dealing with that in the family.

Kim reassures everyone her sister is strong and doing her best to get through everything and focus on being a good mom, but still -- as she and Ellen both say ... poor Khloe.

We broke the story ... Tristan was caught on a security video cheating on Khloe with 2 women at a hookah lounge. Khloe gave birth to True Thompson less than 2 days later.

Yep, pretty f***ed up.

Ellen's full interview with Kim airs Monday, April 30.

Kanye West is laser-focused on the release of 5 new albums, and based on a firsthand account, the people claiming he's erratic or in the middle of a meltdown are off base.

Kanye invited Harvey Levin to his offices after taking issue with a TMZ source who told us Ye had been acting erratically, and Harvey took him up on the offer, spending 2 hours with Yeezy and various music executives who were planning the release of the albums.

The execs at times struggled to keep up with Kanye, who was spewing ideas for a multi-platform release, beginning May 25 with the release of Pusha T's album, followed by Kanye's solo album, Kids See Ghost, Nas and Teyana Taylor. Each album has 7 tracks, and Kanye made all the beats.

During the meeting, Kanye played around 10 songs featuring him, Nas, Teyana, Kid Cudi and Pusha T -- a little editorializing ... they're awesome.

He freestyled for Harvey -- unclear if this is on any of the tracks -- but super fun to hear.

The album won't be released or marketed exclusively on Tidal or any other platform ... the plan is for it to go everywhere.

Kim Kardashian is following in the footsteps of Amber Rose with an almost completely exposed shot of her crotch ... but there's one major difference.

Kim posted a VERY risque photo Tuesday of her bottom half, but not the side we're so used to seeing ... this time we got a close-up view of her midsection from the front, and the starting route down to her vagina.

She was advertising her new fragrance line, obviously.

She also shared a topless photo of herself as part of the set -- but, let's be honest ... we've seen all that before.

Kim's slick front shot, however, is quite a sight to behold ... and quite different from Amber Rose's crotch shot last year ... which was more hippie than lippy.

Kourtney Kardashian was just like any ol' senator or congresswoman walking through the hallways of the Capitol Tuesday in a suit and on a mission to change the law ... until she was bombarded for selfies.

The eldest Kardashian didn't say much on her way to talk about regulating cosmetics and other personal care products, but couldn't resist the opportunity to get one pic in with a fan.

The 39-year-old is there with the Environmental Working Group lobbying for environmentally-friendly cosmetic products.

Kourtney Kardashian is about to dip her toes into D.C. politics ... and it's all in the name of cosmetics.

Our Kardashian sources say Kourtney will come face-to-face with several members of Congress Tuesday in hopes of helping to reform the laws that regulate cosmetics and other personal care products. We're told Kourt's teamed up with the Environmental Working Group for the trip.

Kourtney touched down in D.C. Monday, where she was joined by the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" camera crew to capture the meetings. Our sources say the 'KUWTK' staff booked a block of hotel rooms and a conference room, as well, but it's unclear if other family members will join.

Kourtney's been a huge promoter of environmentally safe products in the past -- and she recently teamed up with Kylie for a cosmetics collaboration -- so it seems like Kourt wants to make sure she's putting out a healthy product for users and the planet.

Kendall Jenner's renovating her Beverly Hills home to give it her own special touch -- possibly because Charlie Sheen used to live there ... or she wants to flip it like a pro.

According to L.A. City docs ... Kendall got permits back in October and December to remove and replace the fireplace and remodel the kitchen and bathrooms. She also filed to put a new roof on the house last month.

Kendall bought the mansion, listed by agent Jill Lowy, back in August for $8.55 mil. It belonged to Charlie until 2016, and now Kendall's pumping cash into it for a major remodel.

It's unclear if she's doing all this work on the 5-bed, 6-bath pad -- with a bomb courtyard and pool -- for herself, or to put it back on the market to turn a profit ... but flipping houses does run in the fam.
