CARDI B & OFFSET ENJOY V-DAY DINNER DATE IN MIAMI ... But, Still Not Together???

Cardi B spent Valentine's Day with her estranged husband, Offset -- and while they don't look very estranged here ... they have yet to definitively confirm they're back together.

The rapper's been keeping fans guessing about her relationship status with her hubby lately --- spending time with him on key dates such as Xmas and New Year's ... and even letting everyone know they've banged as of late -- despite having announced their split in early December.

DINNER DATE
MEGA

Well, this is just the latest confusing curveball -- they were at it again with mixed signals for Valentine's Day ... hitting up Carbone in Miami Beach for the lovey-dovey holiday Wednesday.

Check it out, the pair arrived at the Italian eatery together ... and Offset went inside a few minutes after Cardi, seemingly trying to stagger themselves.

He was clearly taking his time to greet fans/onlookers, even sharing a hug with one of them. In the end, however, they emerged together after midnight, with Cardi holding her phone up to her face while signing some autographs before they headed into their vehicle together.

So, yeah ... they're together -- no questioning it now at this point, especially on V-day.

Of course, we know Cardi's gone off on people speculating on where things stand between them -- she's gone on online tirades on Twitter randos, at times suggesting they are NOT, in fact, together. Yes, it's all very confusing -- and they haven't provided much clarity.

Whatever the hell is going on -- obviously, they're on good enough terms to hang on a very special day in the year that's for lovers ... so you can draw your own conclusions.

Matisyahu Shows Canceled for Political Reasons ... Workers Bailed Last Minute

021524_matisyahu_kal
CONCERNED FOR THE FANS
TMZ.com

Two of Matisyahu's recent concerts got canceled ... and he's theorizing the cancelations might've been caused by some workers making a political statement against Israel.

The singer-songwriter joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday ... telling us his sold-out show in New Mexico was canceled just hours before the curtain was set to go up -- something he learned about very last minute.

As Matisyahu -- a very vocal supporter of the Israeli cause in Gaza -- explained it ... a fan approached him after he'd already performed a sound check in the Meow Wolf venue and said they had received an email saying the concert was called off because of security threats.

When his team approached the event organizers about it, Matisyahu says they told him workers were afraid to come to work because of possible protests outside the building and that they wouldn't have time to hire more staffers for the event.

BTW ... the protest didn't exactly take off -- with just about five people showing up, apparently, to voice their displeasure according to Matis. So, hardly a threat, really.

It's not the only show that's been canceled, as it turns out ... Matisyahu says his show tonight in Tucson, Arizona, is also not happening because employees there are also allegedly calling out.

The possible reasoning behind this ... Matisyahu says he thinks workers might've realized the event would have to be called off if they decided not to arrive for work -- adding social media posts of some of the New Mexico staff made it clear they stood against Israel.

Matisyahu insists he's not pushing his politics at his shows ... admitting he sometimes makes statements against Hamas but keeps political division out of his performances for the most part.

If boycotters are hoping to discourage Matisyahu ... it's not working so far, with him saying he's willing to play at any venue willing to host him and his group. He even mentioned his cousin who goes to school in Tucson -- and said he'd put on a show at a frat house if they're interested!

Of course, tensions have been especially high between Israeli and Palestinian supporters since a surprise attack by Hamas on a music festival on October 7 sparked a full-on war in the region.

A spokesperson for Meow Wolf tells TMZ ... "Yesterday, we canceled a concert at the House of Eternal Return. Two hours before the show was set to begin, we found ourselves without adequate staff to safely manage the sold out crowd. Meow Wolf will always prioritize the safety of our employees and our guests. We are in the process of refunding all ticket holders."

Patrick Mahomes Attended Private Party with Travis Kelce at Restaurant Other Teammates Also Attend Post-Shooting

Travis Kelce was only playing follow-the-leader when he walked into a restaurant to keep on celebrating after the Kansas City shooting -- 'cause we've now learned Patrick Mahomes planned the whole thing, and was there as well.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us the get-together at the Granfalloon Restaurant And Bar in K.C. Wednesday evening was actually spearheaded by the Chiefs QB -- and, according to our sources, he had the idea shortly after the Super Bowl win.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

We're told Pat was the one who rented the place out. Cops were on hand for crowd control. Travis obliged when several cops asked him for selfies.

While we only got pics of Travis rolling into the establishment hours after the shooting ... our sources tell us Patrick was also in attendance, as were other Chiefs players.

Unclear who else was there at the Granfalloon -- but we spoke to the restaurant owner ... and he said a few other players had rolled in, and that it was a private event. Unclear exactly what the guys were doing inside -- presumably, eating, drinking, etc.

The question, of course ... why would Pat, Travis and other teammates go out in public and keep their good time rolling after a massive tragedy?

It's something many have been wondering since we broke the story of Travis attending this gathering ... with a beer in hand.

As we reported ... the shooting left one person dead, and 22 others injured with gunshot wounds. Cops have said this didn't appear to be a terror attack -- but rather a dispute between parties.

Now that we're learning Patrick was in the mix for this party -- it makes ya wonder what sort of thought process went into their decision to go through with the party ... especially since they were all well aware of the shooting.

DJ Khaled Cops Pull Him Over In Golf Cart ... Yabba Dabba Doo!!!

Major key alert ... DJ Khaled got pulled over by police while driving around his Miami neighborhood ... where he came across a little Fred Flinstone-y in a golf cart.

The "We The Best" mogul was tooling around in his golf cart Thursday morning when a cop on a motorcycle lit him up on the road.

As you can see, Khaled pulled off to the side of the road and it looks like the motorcycle cop may have ended up writing him a ticket -- although it's unclear what exactly happened.

Fact is, we don't know for certain if Khaled got dinged here or for what, if anything ... but it does appear he isn't wearing a seatbelt in any of the photos ... and in one shot he's got one hand on the steering wheel and a phone in the other hand.

Oh, and Khaled's barefoot here BTW ... so, that's an interesting tidbit. The good news for Khaled, whatever this was seems to be pretty minor -- so no harm, no foul really.

Millie Bobby Brown Cannolis and Shopping In NYC ... V-Day With Jake Bongiovi

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi enjoyed a low-key Valentine's Day in New York City ... doing some window shopping and chowing down on pastries.

The "Stranger Things" star and her fiancé strolled arm in arm through Chinatown on Wednesday night, stopping to browse around a few shops ... including a fun-looking arcade.

Millie and Jake, the son of Jon Bon Jovi, bundled up with jackets and a colorful scarf ... but she still got cold ... and Millie ended up buying a pair of gloves.

After walking around Chinatown, the couple hoofed it over to Little Italy and picked up a box of cannolis from Ferrara Bakery. Millie smiled before taking a bite, and Jake captured her excitement with a selfie. We gotta say, it looks pretty damn yummy.

Millie and Jake have been engaged almost a year now -- and their romance reportedly first popped off sometime in 2021, when they first started posting pics together.

Cannolis go great with coffee, and these longtime lovebirds ordered some java and then hopped in a cab. Simple, yet effective ... and definitely romantic, no doubt.

Cops: SB Parade Shooting Not Act Of Terrorism ... Likely 'Dispute Between Several People'

STARTED AS A DISPUTE
Fox 49 Ozarks

Cops say the shooting at Wednesday's Super Bowl parade does not appear to have been an act of terrorism ... instead, authorities believe it was simply a dispute between multiple parties that escalated.

Kansas City Police Department Chief Stacey Graves made the revelation at a news conference with reporters Thursday morning ... explaining detectives have obtained no evidence that shows the gunfire at Union Station was a planned attack.

UTTER CHAOS

"This appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gunfire," she said.

Graves also revealed that 23 people in total were struck by bullets during the incident. One, 43-year-old Elizabeth "Lisa" Lopez-Galvan, has been confirmed dead. Eight others, law enforcement added at the news conference, are currently in critical condition.

Graves also said that of the 22 victims who are still fighting to recover ... at least half were under the age of 16 years old. The youngest of the victims, she said, was 8 years old.

Two of the people detained in connection with the shooting are juveniles, Graves added.

As we previously reported, the gunshots erupted just minutes after Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce wrapped up speeches at a rally following bus rides through Kansas City streets.

Both stars -- and their org. -- released statements following the tragedy ... expressing their thoughts and prayers for the victims.

Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck Postponed Wedding Beginning of End ... Too Immature To Figure Out

We Weren't Ready
Apple Music

Jennifer Lopez says she and Ben Affleck didn't break up the day they postponed their wedding in 2003 ... instead, they split well into the aftermath of the stunning delay.

The singer-songwriter spoke with Zane Lowe during an Apple Music interview and revealed the couple may have been headed down the path to breaking up when they called their wedding off, but they stayed together for a while later ... trying to make their coupling last.

JL said the wedding delay sparked doubt in both herself and BA about "what our relationship was and where it was going" and -- even though she knew she wanted to be with him forever -- she felt their marriage wasn't going to make it the distance.

Lopez explained they weren't "mature" enough to make the relationship work despite their repeated attempts ... and she added they were under the impression people broke up when "things get hard" -- so they went their separate ways.

021524_tmz_live_jlo_kal
HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED...
TMZ.com

Good thing too ... 'cause Lopez says they both needed to go find love and make families with other people before they could really work at being a couple again.

Remember ... in the time after "Bennifer" broke up and before they reconciled, Lopez married singer Marc Anthony and had two kids while Affleck hooked up with his "Daredevil" costar Jennifer Garner leading to a trio of children.

Lopez said she and Ben both felt more confident in themselves as individuals when they got back together ... and this time the relationship seems permanent with the two officially tying the knot in 2022.

Taylor Swift absolutely gushed over Travis Kelce down on the field after the Super Bowl on Sunday ... at one point telling him, "You are so magical!!"

The adorable comment was picked up on a hot mic as the two embraced at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas following the Chiefs' 25-22 win over the 49ers.

Swift also could be heard in the audio -- which was just released by the NFL -- telling Kelce, "I've never been so proud in my life."

"I can't believe you," she added. "How did you do that? How did you do it?"

Kelce then returned the compliments Swift's way ... praising her for somehow appearing totally normal despite taking a lengthy flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles in order to make it to the Big Game.

"How do you not have jet lag right now?" he said ... before she responded, "Jet lag is a choice."

Bill Skarsgård Arrested For Drug Possession ... Fined $4,000 in Sweden

Bill Skarsgård was arrested in Sweden for marijuana possession ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the 33-year-old actor was arrested in October for possessing 2.43 grams of cannabis at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm and was sentenced Wednesday.

We're told Bill was ordered to pay a fine of 40,000 Swedish krona -- approximately $3,825 USD and will not face jail time, probation or parole -- meaning it’ll all be behind him once he forks over the cash.

We’re told Skarsgård pled guilty to the crime and submitted paperwork to the court … and a judge sentenced BS based on that paperwork.

Bill -- who's starred in Stephen King's "It" and "Atomic Blonde" along with other well-known movies and TV shows -- is acting royalty in Sweden with his father Stellan and brothers Alexander, Gustaf, Valter, Ossian and Kolbjörn also members of the trade.

RIHANNA, A$AP ROCKY Trolled by Parisian Paps ... Baiser, Baiser on Valentine's Day!!!

VERY SPECIAL V-DAY
BACKGRID

It was just Rihanna and A$AP Rocky on Valentine's Day ... plus, of course, a whole bunch of paps who trolled the hell out of the couple as they tried having some alone time.

Check out this hysterical video ... the couple shares several cozy hugs while blissfully unaware they're being watched inside the swanky César restaurant Wednesday in Paris -- all against the backdrop of hilarious French commentary by the photogs.

Now, we're not exactly fluent in French over here ... but by their tone, it definitely looks like they're poking fun at them for a while before A$AP realizes quite the crowd has gathered behind him.

Safe to say, with the glass window between them, he probably didn't realize they were being mocked ... choosing to wave and smile at the paps, so he was a good sport about it all.

He was apparently on cloud nine, and the reason why is obvious -- he's dating Rihanna, who looked incredible in a silk slip dress and a furry bolero ... so it's clear why he couldn't keep his hands off her.

The couple have been spending a lot of time in France recently. Just last month, they met up with French President Emmanuel Macron, and Rihanna also attended PFW -- who can forget that meeting with Natalie Portman?!

It's unclear if they'll stay in Paris for Rihanna's bday on February 20. But, no matter where they'll be ... looks like the singer's gonna be showered with lavish gifts from her boo.

A$AP told TMZ Hip Hop earlier this month that finding the right gift for his lady is easy peasy 'cause he has good taste and knows what to look for.

Megan Fox I'm No Ukrainian Blowup Doll!!! Dragged for Joke About Pic with Taylor & Travis

You'd think Megan Fox is Vladimir Putin the way Ukrainians are comin' for her -- they're pissed off about a self-deprecating comment she made, but Megan thinks everyone just needs to lighten the hell up!

Megan decided to respond to the torrent of social media comments on a pic she and MGK took Sunday night in Vegas with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Haters blew her up with claims she'd surgically altered her face, so she fired back by posting a different angle of the foursome, and insisted she didn't look all that different.

She quipped in her caption, "turns out it was just a shadowy cell phone pic of me looking like a ukrainian blowup doll. when in REALITY i look one of those super expensive silicone real sex dolls you can only get in japan."

Welp ... Megan's "joke" didn't land with thousands of Ukrainians, who've left comments like, "Wtf? I'm from Ukrainian ...Am I looking like a blow up doll?" ... "I guess xenophobia towards Eastern European is still a thing in Hollywood" and "Ukraine is being annihilated in a war unprovoked. Pls can we just focus on that."

Megan's not taking the backlash quietly, as she's responded to a few of the comments, and clearly wants people to know they've got it all twisted -- she wrote, "dear god. that is NOT what i meant. ukrainian women are hot af and so in my imagination the blowup dolls would also be hot. let a girl make a joke for f***s sake."

Jackson Mahomes Caught Up in K.C. Shooting ... Helped Out Child, Says Eyewitness

Jackson Mahomes was caught up in the chaos during the Kansas City parade shooting -- at least according to one eyewitness ... who says she saw him going above and beyond.

A woman named Jess revealed on X Wednesday that Patrick Mahomes' little brother had actually stuck around in the aftermath of the Chiefs parade -- and was apparently on the scene when shots rang out and people started panicking.

She writes, "I don’t care what anyone says but I have found a new found respect for Jackson Mahomes, Ana and I were stuck hiding with him at union station by the trains and he was taking care of a child who lost his parents and helping him calm down."

Her tweet has since gone viral ... and while she didn't elaborate beyond that, the story about Jackson is being praised and shared -- with many expressing shock Jackson was there.

The Chiefs players/staff had already left by the time gunfire erupted ... so it's shocking to hear JM may have still been around. According to Jess ... not only was he on the scene, but he was helping others -- including the most vulnerable people who were scared/distressed.

What Jess goes on to describe about the moment is absolutely horrifying -- and if she's saying Jackson was right there with her ... then he was experiencing the exact same thing.

She says, "We heard pops and then we saw everyone rushing running crying headed towards where I was standing in panic and we had to jump over the gates by the stage and entrance of union station running for our lives in union station hearing gunshots seeing people HIDING IN OVENS!"

The Chiefs org itself said afterward that all players, coaches and staff members were safe and accounted for -- but on its face, it doesn't sound like that applied to Jackson ... that is, if what this eyewitness is describing is accurate ... though, she seems quite sure.

As we reported ... at least one person was left dead from the shooting, and 22 other suffered gunshot wounds of varying degrees. A few people were detained, but no arrests have been announced just yet ... and police say they're still investigating what exactly happened.

Sharon Stone Cops Protected Me During O.J. Chase ... I Was THAT Famous in '90s

Sharon Stone didn't have any connection to O.J. Simpson back in 1994 ... but when The Juice was loose, Stone was locked up tight -- with cops sequestering her in a hotel room.

The megastar actress talked about how her fame exploded after the 1992 film "Basic Instinct" came out in an interview with InStyle Magazine ... and said she was so big two years later that when O.J. took cops on a low-speed chase, LAPD officers showed up at her door.

According to SS ... while the dramatic pursuit was in progress, officers showed up at Sharon's door and told her to pack a bag in the next 10 minutes.

Stone says one officer specifically told her, "He’s dangerous. And we don’t know how dangerous, and we don’t know what this is."

Worth noting ... Stone had no actual connection to Simpson -- leading some to wonder why the police would show up to her house anyway. Obviously, Stone was one of the biggest movie stars of the time, but tons of famous people live in L.A., and LAPD didn't go to all their houses as far as we know.

One person who didn't question why the police were there ... Sharon Stone, who quickly packed a bag and left with officers who took her to a hotel. Sharon said her life had become so crazy after "Basic Instinct" blew up she didn't think anything of the protection.

They recommended she buy a house with a gate and hire some security -- advice Stone took, and one of many expensive measures Sharon said she paid for to keep herself safe.

Of course, Simpson later returned to his home where -- following a lengthy standoff -- O.J. turned himself in to police. He was charged with the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman ... but, of course, he was found not guilty of both slayings.

One person is dead and 22 others wounded, including at least 11 children between the ages of 6 and 15.

BRUCE WILLIS' WIFE POSTS SMITTEN VALENTINE'S TRIBUTE 'Love Is A Beautiful Thing'

Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming, paid a heartwarming Valentine's tribute to him ... letting the actor, who is battling dementia, know that he'll always have her by his side.

"Love is a beautiful thing ❤️ Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day 🫶🏽," Emma wrote in an IG post Wednesday, which shows the 68-year-old "Die Hard" actor's face pressed up to her while posing at Niagara Falls.

She revealed in the comments it was an old school photo from March 2010, which was two years after they went public with their romance.

Emma's love for Bruce is clearly stronger than her ... proving she'll never leave his side, especially amid his grueling dementia battle. His family announced his aphasia diagnosis two years ago, and his retirement from acting.

Bruce's condition worsened exactly one year ago when he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner Divorce Final

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner have settled their super bitter divorce and finalized the judgment ... TMZ has learned.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Kevin and Christine signed a Marital Settlement Agreement, which they filed with the court. Since more than 6 months have passed since Christine filed for divorce -- the required waiting time in California -- the case is over.

Details of the settlement are not yet available, but we're told the judge validated the prenup that became a big bone of contention during the divorce.

Both parties asked for joint custody of their 3 kids, and, as you know, Christine got $63,000 a month in child support. She was asking for an eye-popping $248,000 a month, but her justification was shaky, to say the least. One of the items she put in her expense declaration -- $100,000 for cosmetic surgery. BTW, before the child support ruling, Kevin offered her $75k a month.

Kevin and Christine personally signed the document signaling the settlement, along with their respective lawyers, disso queen Laura Wasser and Marisa Beuoy.

The document also says the parties waive the typical requirement of co-parenting classes.
