The Kardashians

Ben Simmons wasn't texting Tinashe while partying with Kendall Jenner, despite what the singer told photogs ... TMZ has learned.

Ben, Kendall and Tinashe were all at Delilah in West Hollywood Thursday. Ben and Kendall left together, and Tinashe took off with some friends. Our photog asked Tinashe if she and Ben exchanged greetings inside the club and the singer took it one step further, claiming Ben was texting her.

Sources close to Ben tell us Tinashe's texting claim was a flat-out lie. We're told Ben called Tinashe out after seeing our video Friday morning, she admitted she made it up and created unnecessary tension.

Kim Kardashian kinda sorta mastered wakesurfing her first time out, and it's tricky ... to say the least.

Kim spent the 4th out on a lake in northern Idaho with fam and tried her hand at the water sport with the help of a watchful instructor.

Kim Kardashian West arrived in style Saturday at her pop up shop, with her mom Kris close by.

After the event, as Kim walked out of Spago in Bev Hills, she told our photog she and Tristan Thompson were besties. Sounds like she buried the hatchet because she was furious at him after the cheating scandal.

Kim showed up at the Westfield Century City mall in L.A. -- which carries products from both her KKW Beauty and KKW Fragrance lines -- to hang out with 50 lucky fans and their guests at a private event Saturday evening with her makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic.

Kim first went to her pop up where a few fans who were shopping got to meet her and take pics with her. Then she headed to a private rooftop venue to do one-on-one photos with a line of fans. The venue included an open bar and a candy station.

We broke the story ... Kim held a raffle for a chance to attend the celebration with her and Mario for free, and 50 winners were invited to attend. It's a pretty big deal, too ... fans usually pay hundred for Mario's makeup tutorials.

Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima are continuing their vacation overseas, and her children have joined them ... so Kourt's 24-year-old boyfriend is taking on some daddy duties.

The couple was spotted out on a boat in Portofino, Italy Saturday with Kourt's 3-year-old son Reign -- her youngest of 3 kids with Scott Disick -- and Younes looks pretty natural in the role of protective parent.

As we reported ... Younes and Kourtney were on a private boat last week in Capri -- just the 2 of them -- showing off their hot bods while soaking up the sun.

Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons haven't confirmed they're an item yet, but they're already eating from the same fridge, apparently.

Sources tell us the two have been holing up in a $25k/month rental in L.A. It's unclear whose name is on the lease, but they've both been spotted coming in and out of the ultra modern crib frequently, and we're told the lease term is for several months.

The 5 bedroom, 6 bath home has a pool and is centrally located near the Grove and trendy Fairfax area, which explains why they've been spotted around town so much.

Kendall recently purchased Charlie Sheen's old Beverly Hills home, but she's putting some of her own touches on the crib, so this could be her crash pad in the meantime.

Kim Kardashian doesn't seem to have the word awkward in her vocabulary, 'cause she asked the guy who cheated on her sister to unblock her on social media ... right to his face.

Kim was celebrating Khloe Kardashian's 34th birthday Wednesday evening in L.A., with none other than Tristan Thompson in attendance. As you'll recall, Khloe and the NBA star seem to have moved past his cheating scandal while she was pregnant with their kid.

Same goes for Kim too, actually. She straight-up asked Tristan to unblock her on Instagram ... and recorded him doing it as well. Talk about Queen of Confrontation, sheesh.

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye's old Bel-Air pad -- the one they transformed and sold for nearly $18 mil -- is back on the market ... and we've obtained never-before-seen pics in and around the palace.

TMZ broke the story, Kimye sold the 10,000 square foot home for $17.8 million back in November. It was scooped up by Ukranian billionaire Marina Acton, who also struck a friendship with Kim in the process.

The crib's full of marble floors, gold fixtures and a complete chef's kitchen. Doesn't look like Marina did much with the walls Kim and Kanye left her ... just a lot of white. And we're told asking price is a totally reasonable -- relatively speaking -- $18 million. The Altman brothers at Douglas Elliman Real Estate Co. will rep the sale.

Acton tells us she's still in love with the home, but is expecting a baby in a few months, so she needs more space ... 10,000 sq. feet more!

Marina -- who says she's having a girl -- tells us her parents plan to join her when she moves, and a new place in Miami or West Palm Beach with a guest house would be ideal.

As for a budget on her new place? Marina said what you'd expect from someone flipping 8-figure mansions ... "The sky is the limit."

Khloe Kardashian's flashing a massive rock on her left ring finger which might have ya thinking she's engaged to Tristan Thompson ... but don't go buying a gift yet.

Khloe and Tristan had dinner Sunday night at BOA Steakhouse on the Sunset Strip ... and from the look of things, it wasn't the most exciting date night. Khloe seemed to be giving Tristan serious side-eye while he looks at something other than her -- maybe his phone or the menu.

But the bling on her hand was a definite bright spot. Khloe's dressed up that finger before, so we're not jumping the gun on engagement news.

Kim Kardashian was ready to pull the plug on her marriage to Kanye West after his "slavery" remark on TMZ Live ... or so, Kanye thought.

Turns out the biggest backlash Kanye faced after saying 400 years of slavery "sound like a choice" ... was at home. He says, "There was a moment where I felt like after TMZ, maybe a week after that, I felt like the energy levels were low."

Ye told The NY Times, he actually called several family members and asked, "Was Kim thinking about leaving me after TMZ?"

Obviously, they've worked things out.

BTW, the Times asked Kanye if he wanted to rephrase the statement about "slavery." He refused, saying ... "I never said slavery itself -- like being shackled in chains -- was a choice. That's why I went from slave to 400 years to mental prison to this and that. If you look at the clip you see the way my mind works."

Kourtney Kardashian and boyfriend Younes Bendjima have taken their love fest overseas ... literally.

The two were spotted on a private boat in Capri, Italy Friday soaking up some sun and enjoying the scenery too. The pair even got in the water for a quick dip.

Kardashian and Younes have been dating for well over a year. Younes -- who is just 24 years old -- was Kourtney's first serious relationship since officially cutting ties with baby daddy Scott Disick.

As for Scott, he's been steady -- for the most part -- with Sofia Richie who, like Younes, is very much his junior at just 19 years old.

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye just wrapped up a couple days in Paris -- full of high fashion, luxury hotels and fancy food -- but nothing hits the spot like some Popeyes fried chicken.

The couple touched down in L.A. Thursday night to attend Teyana Taylor's album listening party ... a project Kanye produced. Kim whipped out her phone at the pre-party to reveal a table of treats that was completed by a box of Popeyes.

As we reported, Kim and Kanye hit up the Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris Thursday. They were joined by Kylie, Travis Scott and tons of other celebs.

If there was any doubt Khloe & Tristan have put the whole "cheating and embarrassing her in front the world" thing behind them, we have video of the couple doing something they'd never do if they were fighting.

Working out together.

Khloe just had baby True a couple months ago, and Tristan is trying to keep his world-class NBA physique in peak second-place form, so they hit a session together and posted the whole thing.

The couple's been seen all over town recently, hitting up hot spots and showing off a united front for the paparazzi, letting everyone know it's all good, so the joint sweat session shouldn't be a surprise.

As for the workout ... KK opted for cardio with light resistance, while TT went for strength.

The buff hottie Kendall Jenner encountered at the grocery store -- wearing a shirt suggesting her family should be killed -- has been ID'd ... and his contempt for the Kardashians is real.

TMZ has learned the guy with the jacked arms is Jason Christopher, and he tells us he had the shirt custom made a few years ago ... because he's not down with the Kardashian crew's affinity for wearing fur.

Jason says he's a vegan and an animal lover, and his shirt is simply a way to protest the family's values.

As we reported ... Kendall was out to grab some milk at the market Wednesday when she saw Jason and his "Kill the Kardashians" shirt and shared a video of him on her IG, which quickly went viral.

Kim Kardashian West is back in Paris for the first time since her traumatizing 2016 robbery there ... and it's obvious it's still fresh in her mind.

Kim and Kanye were surrounded by their muscle -- and some fans and paps, of course -- on their way to the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer show. It's Paris Fashion Week, so it's clear why Kim's there ... but still hanging over her is the petrifying heist.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim feared rape when masked men stormed into her 2-story apartment in October 2016 and zip tied her hands with plastic handcuffs. The masked men also made off with more than $10 million in jewelry. Kim vowed to tone it down ... and she's done that ever since. Notice she's not wearing jewelry.

Imagine going to the grocery store and running into a dude wearing a shirt that says he wants to KILL YOUR FAMILY!

That's what happened to Kendall Jenner on Wednesday ... but, there's one twist -- the guy with the grudge happens to have a body that SLAAAAYS.

Kendall says she was going out to get some milk when she ran into a super jacked dude sporting a "Kill The Kardashians" shirt at the market.

So, Kendall did what anyone in her situation would do ... she posted the video on IG.

No word on who the dude is ... but, good lord. #ArmsArmsArms

North West was just like any other kid enjoying a day at the beach, except she was there under the watchful eye of two nannies and a bodyguard.

Nori, who just turned 5, looked like she was having a swell time Wednesday in Malibu after spending her birthday earlier this week in the Big Apple with mom and dad.

Kim and Kanye weren't at the beach ... they're in Paris currently supporting Kanye's BFF, Virgil Abloh, at his first Louis Vuitton runway show.
