Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez look damn comfortable in the country and in the city -- $160 billion will do that for ya -- as they posed for a western-themed spread in Vogue ... but also partied with their celeb pals in Bev Hills.

Their latest engagement party went down Sunday night ... a private affair at the home of Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg with a serious who's who guest list.

The guests of honor mingled with Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble, Mick Jagger, Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris Rock, David Geffen and Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse.

TMZ has learned the couple invited Jewel to perform at the event, and guests partied in a throwback disco dancing room. BTW, a few more from the mega guest list -- Jessica Alba, Salma Hayek, Rita Wilson, Scooter Braun, Barbra Streisand and James Brolin, Bob Iger and Lauren's ex, Tony Gonzalez. They're cool like that.

As for Lauren and Jeff's wedding day ... she talked to Vogue about planning the massive event, but sounds like they don't have a ton of details yet. They've only been engaged for 5 months, after all.

However, the couple was happy to strike several poses for multiple photo shoots ... one on his Western Texas ranch, and another with a glossy, futuristic theme that looks kinda spacey.

Makes sense, as Lauren says she's getting ready for her trip to space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard capsule. She also talked about their $10 billion philanthropic efforts through the Bezos Earth Fund -- as she put it to Vogue, "This is the most important work I’ve ever done, ever.”

The King of Jungle briefly became the Emperor of Rome this weekend after a lion escaped from an Italian circus and prowled around in public.

The jailbreak happened Saturday evening in the seaside town of Ladispoli -- where a traveling circus was passing through, and the big cat somehow got out of its cage and began roaming the streets, with a lot of eyewitnesses and cameras rolling.

Several bystanders captured video of the lion walking around residential neighborhoods ... casually cruising along sidewalks and in between parked cars, minding its own business.

Eventually, the circus owners and local vets were able to track it down and sedate it -- bringing it back to where it belonged -- and nobody was harmed while it was out and about.

As far as what led to the escape in the first place ... it's a bit of a mystery, but the owner of the circus suggested to local media that somebody might've let the animal out on purpose, insisting he'd double checked the cage and locks before turning in for the night.

In terms of fears for public safety, the guy said he actually was more afraid for the lion.

Donald Trump's older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, has died at her home in Manhattan.

The exact circumstances surrounding her death are not clear right now, but Maryanne's body was found Monday morning ... according to multiple reports. No foul play is suspected.

The elder Trump was a longtime attorney, and even served as a federal judge in New Jersey before she retired in 2019.

She was reportedly a close confidant of Donald's back in the day, and some have suggested he once took her advice and counsel very seriously -- that is, until they had an apparent falling out once he was elected President in 2016.

This all came to light in 2020 when Don and Maryanne's niece, Mary Trump, started trashing her famous uncle ... not to mention releasing tapes that appeared to show Maryanne also dogging her younger bro.

In some of those recordings, she could be heard accusing Donald of "lying" and having "no principles." Maryanne was one of Donald's 2 last living siblings -- his brothers Fred and Robert had already died.

Now, he just has his other older sister, Elizabeth, who's still alive.

Maryanne was 86.

Taylor Swift is the latest performer to chastise audience members for throwing crap onstage during a show ... but her warning was sweetly laced.

The pop star was doing her thing Sunday night in Buenos Aires, when she stopped singing after fans began throwing "presents" at her.

That's the word Taylor used to describe the unwanted gifts -- although she made it clear it wasn't cool she still said she appreciated the gesture.

More to the point, she made it clear hurling objects freaks her out, and she explained why, and then ended with a gesture of love.

She's far from the first artist to have to deal with this -- in fact, stuff getting thrown onstage has been a thing all year for artists like Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerini, Maluma and Drake.

Lucky for T-Swift, nothing made direct contact with her, so the fact she's getting in front of the problem shows.

Considering how loyal the Swifties, we're guessing they'll follow her orders.

Ben Affleck and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, haven't always been on the best terms after divorcing, but lately -- including this weekend -- they're 2 peas in a co-parenting pod.

The 2 exes -- who share 3 children together -- were hanging out Sunday in Santa Monica, where their son Samuel had a basketball game ... and while they were waiting for their kid so they could all leave, BA and JG were laughing something fierce in the lobby.

Take a look ... mom and dad chatted each other up and smiled ear to ear as they talked. Eventually, Sam wrapped up the game and they all left together ... in real good moods.

BTW, it's just the 2 of them here -- no J Lo or the other kids in sight -- so it seems this was just a day for the father-mother-son trio, which is a cool thing to see.

We already know Ben and Jen (and Jen) have a blended family these days ... and they're always in and out of each other's lives, especially for big events and holidays. The fact Ben and Jennifer can meet up like this without any issues is sort of a rarity in Hollywood.

That's not to say these two haven't had their issues post-divorce.

We've seen them argue in public before, including one instance from 2019 where they got testy on the street. With that said, they're on the same page more often than not ... and seem to care a great deal about each other in the years since their marriage ended.

In fact, it was Garner here who took Ben to rehab in 2018 ... so she's certainly there for her ex when he needs it.

She also appears to get along with BA's new wife and her own children ... JG has been seen taking the whole kid troupe out and about in public, and vice-versa obviously.

Bart Simpson has not escaped cartoon discipline by choking at the hands of his papa ... despite Homer Simpson's words to the contrary.

It seemed Homer had turned a new leaf, but co-creator James L. Brooks told PEOPLE, nothin's gonna change ... Homer will continue to have a stranglehold on Bart.

Word spread quickly after an episode aired a few weeks back, where a new neighbor told Homer he had a firm handshake, to which Homer responded, "See Marge, strangling the boy has paid off!" But then he backtracked, saying, "Just kidding. I don't do that anymore."

It seemed the P.C. Police may have infiltrated the production, but Brooks has set the record straight, saying, "Don't think for a second we're changing anything."

Brooks revealed an illustration of Homer with his hands on Bart's neck, as the never-aging boy clutched his smartphone displaying a story that said, "Simpsons: No more strangling."

But Brooks was clear ... "Nothing's getting tamed. Nothing, nothing, nothing." He'll continue to be strangled—[if] you want to use that awful term for it. He'll continue to be loved by his father in a specific way."

Adam Driver got testy during a Q&A session for his upcoming film delivering an F-bomb to someone in the audience for asking a question he found annoying.

The actor was sitting in a chair next to a host onstage at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland after a special Sunday screening of "Ferrari," which is scheduled to be released Christmas day.

While fielding questions about the movie, Driver got into it with the crowd member who inquired about the crash scenes, describing them as "harsh, drastic and, I must say, cheesy for me."

Check out the video ... Driver calmly takes a sip from his water bottle before dressing down the person, saying, "F**k you. I don’t know? Next question."

The audience bursts out in laughter, clearly loving his blunt response. But Driver didn't seem amused, though he kept his cool.

Aaron Rodgers is doubling down on his targeted return to the football field ... revealing he's hoping to make his big comeback from his Achilles injury in mid-December.

The New York Jets quarterback -- who said last week he was eyeing suiting up in "a few fortnights" -- made his intentions crystal clear in a pregame interview with NBC's Melissa Stark, who relayed the news during the Sunday Night Football broadcast.

"He said, 'I know it sounds insane, but you do a good surgery, you have a good patient, it makes this possible,'" Stark told Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth.

Rodgers also stated he was working out on a weight-limited treadmill at 50% of his body weight ... and planned to bump up to 75% this week.

The update lines up exactly with what TMZ Sports reported just a few days ago -- our sources told us Rodgers is recovering at a historic rate ... and he's basically in uncharted territory with how he's improving by the day.

If he does come back before Christmas, it will be much faster than the usual 9+ months it tends to take for an athlete to get to 100% before returning to action.

Rodgers has shown he's busting his ass in rehab -- he's been slinging the pigskin prior to Jets games recently ... and has been walking without assistance or any sort of limp.

The *NSYNC boys are attempting some 11th-hour press before the 'Trolls' movie hits theaters -- and one way they'll be plugging the product is with a group powwow in front of cameras.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Justin Timberlake and the other 4 boy band members are planning to attend a premiere, of sorts, later this week in L.A. ahead of the animated film's release ... which drops Friday.

We know this coming-together is happening Wednesday somewhere in Hollywood -- but the exact details are being kept under wraps for now. Our sources do say, however, that all of the fellas started making last-minute travel arrangements for this as late as Thursday.

It probably goes without saying ... this is happening at the behest of the studio, Universal, which we're told wants to try and get *NSYNC out in front of reporters and the public any way they can to promote the film ... they obviously know how popular they are as a unit.

Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, just about every major studio is doing this -- namely, getting their big stars together and attempting to get a little momentum amid some mediocre box office returns lately. Brie Larson tried it this past week ... to no avail.

We're told if the strike would've ended a month or so ago ... Universal would've planned a massive premiere with all 5 members, but instead -- they're whipping up this somewhat smaller event in hopes that it can drum up some buzz for 'Trolls Band Together.'

None of the *NSYNC guys have been able to talk about/plug the flick -- obviously JT voice acts in it, but so does Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, JC Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick. They all have credits on IMDb ... so it seems their work on this goes beyond that nifty new song.

Now, if you think this public outing as a team signals of a larger reunion tour to come -- you're unfortunately wrong ... sources tell us that ain't happening in the near future. Justin's working on a new album/tour, and scheduling remains an issue. Never say never, though.

A collection of rare, psychedelic drawings by Jimi Hendrix is up for sale ... but fans are gonna need a lot more than a couple impressive guitar licks to score this treasure trove.

Ten drawings by Jimi are being sold by Momentsintime.com -- the guitarist's artwork was drawn with a color pen in the late 1960s ... and as fans know, that's exactly when Jimi's fame rose to an all-time high.

The collection has a price tag of $195k and was originally a part of the Bob & Kathy Levine Collection ... 2 people who worked with Jimi back in the day.

Bob and Kathy actually rushed over to Jimi's home and office in 1970 when the musician died to change the locks -- knowing multiple people had keys to both spots. They wanted to ensure none of his stuff got snatched.

They sent most of Jimi's possessions to his family but kept some mementos -- like these pieces of art -- for themselves. They sold this collection at some point, and it's changed hands over the years ... last hitting the market in 2008.

There's another Fielder making his way to the MLB ... and this one's father, Prince Fielder, tells TMZ Sports the youngster could turn out to be the best in the family!

We got Prince and his 19-year-old son, Jadyn Fielder, out at LAX this week ... and when we asked if the young Fielder had potential to be better than Dad and Grandpa (three-time All-Star Cecil Fielder), Prince didn't mince words.

"He sure does!" Prince said.

As for why ... Prince told us his kid has been "practicing every day" -- while spending years in MLB clubhouses soaking up knowledge from him and other Big Leaguers.

While Prince is certainly a proud dad, he also clearly isn't blowing smoke ... Jadyn -- a 6-foot infielder who plays high school baseball in Florida -- is regarded as one of the best prospects in the 2024 class.

And, get this ... Prince says his other son, 17-year-old Haven Fielder, has a chance to make a name for himself on an MLB diamond one day too!!

It's all quite the sight ... considering it was just a few years ago that the boys were little tykes watching Prince mash in playoff games and Home Run Derbys -- something that's obviously not lost on Prince.

Before this adorable baby in her diaper was trying on her momma's high heels, she was just heading to the movie sets to watch her parents act, messin' around with her younger bro and growing up just outside of Paris.

Back in 2014, this beauty of a gal made her film debut in the movie "Tusk" alongside Justin Long, however most recently ... she starred on HBO's "The Idol" with The Weeknd. And, don't be surprised if you see her on the cover of a magazine looking gorgeous as ever!

Need one more clue ... ask the pirate!

Keke Palmer is holding on tight to her son after getting temporary sole custody of him amid her legal fight with her baby daddy -- this, of course, after accusing him of DV.

The actress appeared to be on set Saturday afternoon in West Hollywood, where two notable things happened -- one, she was photographed carrying her nearly 9-month-old, Leo, while in costume ... and was smiling from ear to ear, while even firing off a selfie of the 2 of them.

There was a woman nearby, whom Keke eventually handed Leo over to -- presumably a nanny of some sort -- while she went back to work. Like we said, KP is beaming here.

The other standout moment from this time on the job ... she received an intricate bouquet of flowers from somebody, courtesy of a local business called La Fleu Eclose ... and this particular arrangement is one of their pricier items for sale -- it's called "My Queen."

The bouquet comes with a crap ton of roses -- between 50 to 100 -- and a nice little crown ornament on top to boot. There was a card attached that Keke was seen reading ... and she looked to be a bit emotional as she went through it. No word on who it was from.

This is the first time we're seeing Keke out in public since her bomb allegations this past week -- namely, claiming Darius Jackson had abused her on and off for well over a year ... including an alleged incident she says happened as recently as last weekend.

Keke also uploaded a bunch of still images taken from in-home security footage that she claims shows Darius roughing her up on a handful of occasions, dating back to 02/2022.

She said she feared for her safety, and as a result was granted a temporary restraining order against Darius. Keke was also granted temporary sole custody of their kid ... a separate filing that came shortly before her TRO hit the court system.

Darius has remained mostly mum through all this ... not having officially acknowledged her claims, other than to say he loves his son and that he'll "see you soon." A hearing to sort all this out is scheduled for early December ... where he'll presumably get a chance to respond.

Keke and Darius had Leo in February ... and had been a couple for a good while before that. He's not famous at all -- but has drawn attention to himself and their relationship.

Bebe Rexha has waded into the never-ending debate over who's the better femcee between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B ... and from her POV, it's no contest when it comes to raw talent.

The singer sounded off -- in a very respectful way, of course -- on an IG Live she did this weekend ... where she and a pal went back and forth on the merits of the argument, and BR ended up landing mostly Nicki's camp in terms of who she prefers as the queen of rap.

Check out how she breaks this down ... Bebe seems to think Nicki's longevity and quality as been top-notch for a long time, plus she admires the fact that she writes her own rhymes.

Bebe's friend here jumps to defend Cardi in the same breath, noting she's quite talented too ... but concedes that it's well-known she doesn't always put pen to paper for her own lyrics, and might outsource that part of the job at times.

Both of them say this isn't meant to pit the two ladies against each other -- which they say happens far too often, for no reason other than to rile up one another's respective bases.

With that said ... Bebe makes it clear, she simply likes Nicki's rapping ability more -- but notes she does appreciate Cardi's personality and authenticity more than anything.

As we all know ... Nicki and Cardi have had beef in the past, and every now and then -- there seems to be jabs taken from either side online ... but more so among their fans.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. let it all hang out during a flight nearly two weeks ago -- and by that, we mean from the ankles down ... where he got very acquainted with a messy aisle floor.

The presidential candidate -- who's running as an independent -- was on an American Airlines plane on Nov. 2 ... where we're told he was traveling from Portland to Dallas for what appears to have been official political business, during which this eye-popping pic was snapped by conservative commentator Justin Haskins.

Haskins -- who works for a think tank called The Heartland Institute -- took this photo of RFK Jr. getting up and walking to the bathroom ... only he did it completely barefoot!

Indeed ... it's a bit surprising, considering the ground he's treading on isn't all the clean -- at least that's what Haskins said when he and his buddies talked about this on their "In The Tank" pod on Friday. According to him, there was a bunch of food and debris down there.

Listen to how Haskins puts it ... sounds like he was pretty surprised to see Bobby pull this as nonchalantly as he did, and he jokes this might even torpedo his campaign prospects.
