Beauty

Before this Philippines native in his sweater vest and bowtie turned into a beauty influencer and social media personality, he was just playing sports like volleyball, track and soccer ... and growing up in Hawaii.

Getting his start on Vine and YouTube, he would later create meme-worthy content with vlogs and beauty tutorials, and his success has been featured in several magazines ... not to mention gracing the covers of Forbes and Vogue. Both Talia Joy and Patrick Starr are two of his biggest inspirations.

Need one more clue? He had his own reality show on MTV.

Megan Fox is firing back at the people who are blasting her for sharing a GoFundMe for her friend's cancer-stricken father ... saying the haters don't understand the full story or her relationship with the friend.

The actress took to social media Thursday to explain why she is helping crowdfund for her nail technician's ailing father ... instead of ponying up the money herself, as some folks online think she should.

Megan says her nail tech didn't want her money because it would create an uncomfortable dynamic in their working relationship ... and ditto for the woman's other celeb clients.

In her IG story, Megan also questions her haters' emotional intelligence ... and ends by calling them psychos.

As we reported ... after Megan shared the GoFundMe, donations started to pour in ... but some folks questioned why Megan was asking other people for money instead of just covering all the medical expenses herself.

Kylie Jenner says she doesn't want her daughter, Stormi, to go under the knife to get breast implants ... but also admits she had that very surgery years ago and now regrets it.

KJ got candid about her boob job on the season finale of "The Kardashians," telling her pal Stassie Karanikolaou she got her breasts done at 19 -- something she's never confessed before -- just before having her first kiddo.

It's a decision she's definitely looking back at differently now, and really hopes her 5-year-old daughter doesn't follow in momma's footsteps as the years go on -- saying she'd be "heartbroken" if she did, because she's beautiful as she is.

ICYMI, Kylie addressed a long-running rumor on last week's episode that she got a lot of surgery on her face ... saying she's gotten fillers, but that's about it.

The reason that was even addressed on the show is because the Kardashians, in general, have been criticized for inspiring millions of Americans to get cosmetic surgeries, for better or worse, often attempting to achieve the same look as Kim, Kylie and co.

So, it's interesting Kylie's turning her boob job confession into a teachable moment for her daughter, and possibly for young women everywhere.

Megan Fox is offering a helping hand to a friend in need -- this after the girl's father was diagnosed with cancer ... and it seems her good work is doing wonders for the cause.

The actress and model shared the link to a GoFundMe Monday, made for 64-year-old Michael Boyce by his daughter, Brittney -- who's Megan's nail tech.

M.F. says Michael was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and is asking her fans to help chip in towards his medical expenses ... and on the site, Brittney says her dad wasn't planning on retiring and had already missed a lot of work, and will likely be missing more.

Brittney says his new prescription isn't covered by insurance, and he already had to pay $1k out of pocket -- and that's not even a month's worth -- so she's hoping the money raised for her pops will help relieve the money pressures so he can focus on getting better.

Megan's reposting seems to have boosted Michael's donations quite a bit -- in just 3 days, the GoFundMe has climbed past $7,600 -- the goal's been raised to $60k.

While Megan's sharing certainly helped, she's been facing some backlash online ... with folks saying the "millionaire" is off base to ask others to pitch in when, in their minds, she could just cough up the loot herself.

Selena Gomez just turned 31 -- and with this turning of the page, the internet's also adorning her with some big alleged news ... namely, that she's almost a billionaire.

The singer is being celebrated left and right on Twitter right now because on Saturday ... she hit the big 3-1. But more than just sending her well-wishes on her special day -- it seems like people are also congratulating her on this huge purported spike in her net worth.

The number being floated is $800 million. The site CelebrityNetWorth.com is the one that's putting this figure out there, citing the sales of her makeup line Rare Beauty as the X factor.

This new (unofficial) inflated net worth seems linked to a recent Bloomberg report, which says Selena's Rare Beauty blush, on its own, generated around $70 mil last year ... while also claiming RB is expected to fetch at least 3x that amount on this one product in 2023.

If true, it would certainly seem to somewhat back this notion that SG's net worth has, indeed, jumped significantly. Last year, her empire was valued at about $95 million, all told.

It also serves as another testament to the success celebs have found in the cosmetics game. Of course, Kylie Jenner herself became a billionaire with her highly profitable brand -- and now, it would appear Selena is following in her footsteps ... and perhaps even catching up!

Speaking of Rare Beauty, Selena shouted them out explicitly in a birthday post. She writes, "I am thankful for so much in my life and one of the things I am most thankful for is the work we’ve been able to do with the Rare Impact Fund through @Rarebeauty. Because of YOU we’ve been able to raise awareness and increase access to mental health services for young people. This is my true passion in life."

She continues, "People keep asking me what I want for my birthday, and I tell everyone the same thing please do not get me anything but if you want to do something for my birthday, please donate to the Rare Impact Fund."

Jordyn Woods and Kylie Jenner might be mending their relationship, but fans for both women aren't shy in voicing their opinions on the whole thing ... with some all for the rekindling and others totally against it.

The comment section on Jordyn's IG has become a very active chat room, where folks are expressing concerns over the model's rekindled friendship growing with Kylie. Kylie's comments are taking off too -- with a pretty mixed bag of reviews.

While some fans are supporting the move to be friends again, there's also a large portion who aren't ... in Jordyn's comment section, one user is bummed about her taste in pals, while another feels downright betrayed, commenting ... "Girl wtf was you doing out with Kylie after we fought vehemently for you." One fan even declared Jordyn's "better and happier" without Kylie by her side.

Kylie's comment section doesn't look much different than Jordyn's ... with fans offering up warnings on taking Jordyn back -- considering what happened the first time around.

While it's obviously not how either KJ or JW feels, the consensus among their fans is each is doing just fine after losing her former besties in the fallout of the Tristan Thompson drama.

TMZ broke the story ... Kylie and Jordyn had been hanging out for over a year, prior to their public sushi outing -- working on getting their friendship back to where it once was.

Vladimir Putin travels all around Russia by train, but no one really knew just how lavish and secure his rides are ... until now.

New photos, obtained by CNN, show what is purported to be the Russian president's 22-car "ghost train" that acts as his private chauffeur as he tours cities and towns throughout his country.

The perks are eye-popping, and they include luxurious bedrooms, opulent dining cars, a Turkish bath steam room, a state-of-the-art health club and a massage parlor with anti-aging machines.

Plus, if Vlad wants to take in a movie, he can kick back in his own private theater. And, if he chooses to speak to his staff at the Kremlin or stay up-to-date on the news, he can do that too with the high-tech communications systems right at his fingertips.

But, that's not all ... Vlad is totally protected from any assassination attempts or military offenses while he's rolling down the tracks. The train is fitted with heavily armored doors and bulletproof windows along with medical facilities and equipment just in case something goes wrong.

Furthermore ... the train reportedly costs $74 million with an additional price tag of $15.8 million in annual upkeep.

CNN received the never-before-seen train images, with apparent Russian documents, from the Dossier Center, a London-based group devoted to investigating Putin. The cable news outlet published all the information Tuesday morning.

Maria Menounos is proving her pancreatic cancer battle isn't keeping her down ... going online to show off her surgery scars, which she says actually make her smile.

The entertainment reporter and host shared the revealing pic Sunday night, showing 4 healing scars across her stomach -- saying her surgery earlier this year is something she's extremely grateful for ... sending love and thanks to everyone that helped her along the way.

She adds, "Now I see the scars that I sunscreen up carefully to protect and I smile." And, as you can imagine, she was met a lot of praise in the comments.

You'll recall, Maria announced her stage 2 pancreatic cancer diagnosis in January, but said last week that her doctors missed her tumor during an initial exam -- resulting in it doubling in size in only 2 months.

Maria said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast she's since learned an MRI could've spotted the growth ... but is still remaining hopeful as she looks into how docs missed the lump.

Dennis Rodman's girlfriend says the NBA legend's new face tattoo featuring a portrait of her was not her idea at all ... explaining to TMZ Sports that when he first told her he wanted to get it, she thought he was "crazy!!!"

Rodman and his GF, Yella Yella, spoke all about the new artwork roughly 24 hours after the former Bulls star got it done ... and the two made it clear to us, The Worm wasn't influenced by anyone other than himself when he decided to get the ink put on his cheek.

"I actually told him not to do it," Yella Yella said. "I'm like, 'What're you doing!'"

Rodman, though, said he was full-go on the idea once it popped into his head ... explaining, "This is my last dance with a woman."

"She's very lovely," he added. "And I thank her for loving me the way I am -- and that's why I did it for her."

Yella Yella says initially Rodman wanted the portrait to be even bigger than what it ultimately ended up being ... leading her to call him both "crazy" and "a wild boy."

Trinidad James is a big fan of Drake getting a fresh coat of pink for his fingernails before heading out on tour -- and he's offering to help take Drizzy's manicure to the next level.

We got the "All Gold Everything" rapper Wednesday at LAX, and asked him about Drake's unveiling of his new look.

Trinidad's been getting his nails painted and bejeweled for years ... and he's thrilled to see another mainstream artist like Drake joining the ranks. We've seen Lil Yachty and Machine Gun Kelly do their nails, but Drake's the biggest hitmaker to jump on the wave.

The way TJ sees it ... there's a gender stigma around manicures, and he says it's good for Drake to break out of the box.

As we reported, Drake showed off his pink nails Monday on social media ... right before starting his highly anticipated tour with 21 Savage.

Get this ... Trinidad says some of his nail sets cost $7,000 and he gets his nails done 4 times a month. We're confident the cost wouldn't scare off Champagne Papi if he were inclined to do that kinda upkeep.

Drake is about to hit the road on his highly-anticipated tour -- and he's doing his best to make sure he looks damn good in doing so -- stopping to get his hair and nails done.

Drizzy and 21 Savage are scheduled to kick off the "It's All a Blur" tour on July 5 in Chicago, and Drake's been teasing the whole thing with some pics from rehearsal on his social media accounts.

Well Sunday night, he also teased fans by showing off his new look -- some freshly styled hair and pink fingernails.

Unclear if Drake will keep the look for the road, but fans are certainly eating it up ... praising him for the nails and hyping up the upcoming tour.

Jon Hamm finally tied the knot -- and he did it with a former 'Mad Men' costar, no less ... with a lot of other nods to the show that made him super famous.

The actor married Anna Osceola Saturday after getting engaged last year ... and after dating for 2 years. They'd actually met on the set of 'Mad Men' in 2015 ... and apparently circled back with each other after Jon split with his longtime partner, Jennifer Westfeldt.

Now, as for the nuptials themselves ... absolutely stunning. Jon and Anna got hitched at beautiful Anderson Canyon in Big Sur -- so, yes, it was a seaside wedding of sorts.

The reason the Big Sur location is significant isn't lost on fans of 'MM' -- the series ended with Don Draper there having a rediscovery of himself ... and the final shot shows Jon's character stumbling across an epiphany for the iconic "Hilltop" Coke ad of 1970.

Nice little nod, obviously -- but the guest list was just the cherry on top for a "Mad Men" flashback. John Slattery showed up to congratulate his old costar, and there was even a hint of "Mad Men"-themed cocktails on hand as an homage. Lord knows those boys drank!

Other A-listers in attendance ... Billy Crudup -- who just recently got married himself -- plus Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, and others. Their walkup song was James Bond-linked too ... with a band playing the theme to "You Only Live Twice." Indeed, it was all 1960s fare here.

As for the bride and groom ... they looked great. Jon was incredibly dapper in his tux -- and Anna wowed with her flowing gown. Everyone else was dressed to the nines as well.

Celebs came out in force Friday for the Dior Fashion Week Show in France ... and the futuristic event dazzled the Hollywood luminaries.

A bevy of stars showed up at Ecole Militaire in central Paris for the kick-off of the summer spectacle by Dior men's artistic director Kim Jones.

Among the bold-faced names were Winnie Harlow, Demi Moore, Pharrell Williams, Offset, J Balvin, Gwendoline Christie, Amber Valletta and Caleb McLaughlin.

Once they all got inside, they were treated to an innovative performance by a rotating continuum of models who rose up from under the floor onto a metallic catwalk to strut their stuff.

The models paraded around the room, wearing androgynous suits with funky glasses and hats topped off by pearls and sequins, giving the performance a very modern feel.

Offset made the most of his time at Paris Fashion Week ... which he capped off by burning down the runway with a surprise performance!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of Offset blazing through the perfect song for modeling ... his Metro Boomin-produced classic hit "Ric Flair Drip," which he performed Tuesday during the Li-Ning Menswear Spring/Summer 2024 show.

The collection is designed by Oscar Wang and titled "My-Verse" ... which Offset ripped through his on the track.

Offset virtually managed to be in 2 places at once for the evening ... Pharrell also had his debut fashion show as Louis Vuitton's Men's Creative Director, and Offset was also among the many celebrity guests to support. He even dapped up Jay-Z at the event.

Sounds like Meghan Markle's rumored megadeal with Dior might be a 'lil more fiction than fact ... because new reports say the previous claims are just bogus.

According to a spokesperson for Meghan and Prince Harry, who spoke to The Telegraph, the "Duchess of Dior" isn't getting to any finish line with the fashion line -- and a similar denial came from Dior itself after this weekend's alleged news.

One of The Telegraph's sources claims they were "nonplussed as to how the story came about."

For what it's worth, Page Six sources say MM's hoping to work out a deal with a luxury brand at some point ... but she's allegedly eyeing Cartier as the business of choice -- a company that's got its own ties to the royal family, ironically.

For those unaware, Caroline Graham of the Daily Mail cited her sources this weekend, saying Meghan was on the brink of inking a huge deal with Dior ... claiming, "If she pulls that off, then no one will remember that her silly little podcast got canceled after one season."

The brand made sense -- she's been spotted in Dior quite a bit over the years, as has Harry ... and with the news coming just days after their podcast deal with Spotify fell apart, the move sounded legit.

Maybe that rumor mill's just workin' overtime.

Meghan Markle may be on the outs with Spotify, but she's supposedly about to be in with Dior -- that is, if you buy what a British columnist has to say about it.

Caroline Graham of the Daily Mail reported this weekend that the Duchess of Sussex might just be on the verge of signing a massive deal with the famed French couture house ... at least that's the buzz around Hollywood, as she cites her sources as saying in her piece.

Here's how one of the sources puts it ... "There have been rumors for weeks that she's about to sign a deal with Dior which has put the gossip mill into overdrive. If she pulls that off, then no one will remember that her silly little podcast got canceled after one season."

Not just that, but per the report ... MM's management team at WME has apparently been working overtime toward a major rebrand for their Royal client, with one source saying the Spotify news was a surprise to some ... but small potatoes to them based on what's coming.

As far as what sort of partnership this might be ... DM says sources are claiming Dior wants Meghan to be the "face" of the company -- similar to Charlize Theron and Jennifer Lawrence.

Of course, another recognizable face of Dior is none other than Johnny Depp -- but he's heading up the men's fragrance department ... so kinda at arm's length from anything Meg would presumably be involved in. No word on a dollar amount for this would-be signing ... but just for reference, JLaw's Dior deal is said to be around $15M, and JD's was $20M.

Considering how big a name Meghan is ... ya gotta figure hers would be well north of that.

While this news is unconfirmed, it is certainly interesting. The reason being ... Meg actually low-key wears Dior all the freakin' time -- or at the very least, a lot of the time. She's been pictured in Dior outfits several different times over the years ... as has Prince Harry.

The dude was actually rockin' Dior at King Charles' coronation last month -- so perhaps they've been telegraphing something this whole time. The brand makes sense for them.

Now, as far as podcast stuff ... DM also reports other platforms are blowing up Meg's people for a bite at the apple. And, of course, they still have their Netflix deal intact -- although, there've been rumblings that the streaming giant ain't quite happy with that either.

In any case, it sounds like Meg and Harry are far from strapped. They've cleaned up well since leaving the Royal family -- and while some deals are falling through, other doors seem to be opening at the exact same time. We'll see if this Dior thing comes to pass.
