Birthdays

Kevin Hart is firing back at critics who slammed his decision to throw his son a "Cowboys and Indians" party on Thanksgiving, because the comedian doesn't see anything racially insensitive about it.

Kevin weighed in on the controversy on his SiriusXM show "Straight from the Hart," shutting down critics who felt the Native American-inspired clothing was culturally inappropriate and offensive.

Kevin says the backlash is "dumb s**t," because it shows "how stupid our world is becoming with opinions."

Kevin says there was nothing malicious about the theme -- as he points out, the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins played on national TV the same day -- and the idea came from movies and games that have been around for years. He says kids played "Cowboys and Indians" when he was growing up, so he disagrees with people who think the outfits perpetuated racial slurs.

As for his NFL defense ... Kevin's ignoring the fact many people have issues with the Washington DC team's name.

The party controversy started on Thanksgiving, when Kevin's wife Eniko posted an Instagram picture from Kenzo's first birthday bash, showing attendees dressed in traditional Native American garb. Many of Kevin and Eniko's followers called it shameful and ignorant.

Kaley Cuoco took a break from saving wild animals to party like one ahead of her 33rd birthday.

The "Big Bang Theory" star threw on some Mickey Mouse ears Sunday and hit up Disneyland to kick off her birthday week. She turns 33 on Friday and brought a bunch of friends and family members to celebrate early.

Kaley was there with her hubby, Karl Cook, who had a pretty sweet tongue-wagging pose for the camera on the way down Splash Mountain. Kaley screamed her ass off. Can't blame her ... it's a steep fall.

It's been an eventful week for Kaley already. As we reported ... she tried her best to save a distressed baby sea lion while spending the first Thanksgiving with her in-laws in Santa Barbara.

Kevin Hart and his wife Eniko thought it was all good to throw their son, Kenzo, a "Cowboys and Indians" party on Thanksgiving for his first birthday.

Many people disagree.

The Harts are getting slammed for going the culturally inappropriate and offensive route with their kid's bday bash theme, in which the attendees wore either cowboy gear or Native American-inspired clothing.

Eniko captioned a pic from the party ... "Zos cowboys & indians party was nothing but amazing! Thanks to everyone for coming.. we love you guys!"

But, many of Kevin and Eniko's followers don't find it amazing at all and are blasting the couple, calling the idea shameful and ignorant instead.

We will say this, though ... Kenzo looked pretty adorable in his cowboy costume.

Just last week, Kevin and his ex-wife Torrei threw their 11-year-old son Hendrix a Fortnite party ... without a whiff of controversy.

Hailey and Justin Bieber celebrated Thanksgiving together, as well as Hailey's 22nd birthday, along with friends and family.

Justin's mom, Pattie Mallette, posted the vid ... capturing the fam singing to Hailey as Justin holds a cake with candles. The second video shows how they did it up with a larger cake that Justin shoves into Hailey's face.

As Hailey blows out the candles, someone happily yells out "First married birthday!" They hug, and Justin says, "I just want to say, she's the love of my life, she's amazing..."

Hailey's cousin Kahlea Baldwin was also there.

Justin and Hailey secretly tied the knot in September at a New York City courthouse after taking out a marriage license. Still unclear why they wanted to keep it so under the radar.

They're expected to have a big ceremony sometime early next year ... possibly in Canada.

So far, so good.

Tyga made sure everyone at his 29th birthday bash got involved in the festivities, and that required some hands-on therapy with booty-shaking dancers in g-strings!

The rapper celebrated Monday night at Delilah in WeHo with some of his besties ... including several limber dancers with pole skills. We got video of Tyga enjoying himself, but from the looks of things ... no one had a better time than model Josie Canseco.

She was hanging all over her BF, rapper Mike Stud, while contributing to the dancers' college funds.

Dana White wants to put Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier in the Octagon and lock the door ... but DC's people don't want him to fight "Bones" -- they want him to retire.

TMZ Sports talked to the UFC honcho outside the Montage in L.A. ... and asked him for the lowdown on the DC and Brock Lesnar fight.

Dana told us he ain't sure if the Lesnar fight will happen ... but he does have a massive fight in mind.

Jon Jones vs. Daniel Cormier III.

"I'd obviously like to see Jones and Cormier fight again at heavyweight," White tells us ... "Cormier's team wants him to retire now. They want him to retire right now. I hope we can get 3 more fights out of him."

Remember, DC's repeatedly said he's gonna retire on his 40th birthday -- but that's still 4 months away -- and walking away before was seemingly never an option ... 'til now.

We also talked to Dana about Yair Rodriguez's INSANE last-second KO of the Korean Zombie ... and White says there's never been a better finish -- in MMA, boxing or anywhere else people hit each other.

"I think it's the best knockout in combat sports history. All of combat sports."

The Harts pulled out all the stops for their son's 11th birthday -- 'cause Kevin and his ex-wife, Torrei, threw the kid a SICK party that was worthy of pretty much all the Fortnite dances.

Hendrix Hart was treated to a full-blown Fortnite party Saturday to celebrate the big 1-1, which his folks aptly called "Hartnite Birthday Royale." They might as well have been in the digital fray themselves because Kevin's studio near L.A. got fully decked out to reflect the game.

We're told Torrei was behind a majority of the planning for the shindig, and that she used bDASHd Events to bring the place to life ... or "heals," if that's more your speed. Torrei's brand manager, KD McNair, tells us Kevin was super impressed with the set-up ... and the whole fam had a great time together -- including their daughter, Heaven, and his current wife, Eniko.

Kevin and Torrei are no strangers to epic birthday parties for their kids. They did a video game blowout a couple years back for Hendrix, and a "Black Panther"-themed bash last year for Heaven.

Kylie Jenner's video from Dream's second birthday party proves Auntie Kylie is the hostess with the mostest ... the mostest cockroaches.

Jenner hosted her niece's 2nd birthday party Wednesday at her Hidden Hills home ... and there was at least one uninvited guest patrolling the sweets table. The 6-legged party guest can be seen scurrying for cover underneath Dream's decked out bday cake.

As for how the critter may have entered the bash -- there are a ton of plants and foliage intertwined with the dessert spread -- so you gotta imagine he hitched a ride inside.

Dream Kardashian clearly doesn't buy into the terrible twos theory ... not after having a magical birthday to celebrate.

Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and the rest of the brood threw an impressive birthday party for Rob and Blac Chyna's kid ... though we're guessing BC was nowhere in sight (more on that in a sec).

There was also a LOT to snack on. Seriously ... check out the spread. The fairy-themed party had it all -- 2 fairies, a teepee, tons of balloons ... and even a shiny Bentley.

As for Chyna ... she wasn't there, and that's not surprising. She and Rob do NOT get along, even though they've managed to co-parent. A year ago, they threw dueling birthday parties for Dream. They're also locked in a bitter fight over child support. For now, the judge has suspended Rob's obligation to pay Chyna $20k a month.

The Royals just released a family portrait for Prince Charles' 70th birthday, and HEY NOW, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT STEAMY COUPLE GETTING COZY IN THE BACK!!!

Check out Prince Harry with his left hand firmly on Meghan Markle's waist ... that's a super intimate pose as far as Royal Family portraits go.

Our palace sources tell us the photos were snapped this summer at Kensington Palace ... which would have been right around the time Harry and Meghan learned she was pregnant, and Harry and Meghan's facial expressions make it look like they've been getting it on.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking pretty risque compared to the rest of the Royals ... Prince William isn't anywhere close to Kate Middleton's hip as she holds newborn Prince Louis.

In the front row, Prince Charles bounces Prince George on his lap as he sits next to Camilla and Princess Charlotte.

Harry kept his hands-on approach in the fun pic, with Meghan leaning in and laughing.

Diddy's birthday celebrations got so out of control over the weekend, police had to shut down a wild rager at the music mogul's mansion.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police received multiple calls around 2 AM Monday for a disturbance at Diddy's L.A. home, and when cops arrived, they spoke to security and told them to call it off.

Before throwing an epic rager, Diddy had another party for his 49th bday at Ysabel in West Hollywood ... where he celebrated with LeBron James, Usher, Wiz Khalifa, Kodak Black and tons of other celebs.

Check out the vid ... Kodak tries to pull a fast one and sneak a drink out of the club, but he gets caught red-handed.

Seems the after-party spilled over to Diddy's and, as you can image, it was the place to be ... we're told there were about 50 cars parked outside his home, and about 200 people inside in full party mode.

Things went pretty smoothly once cops showed up ... police told security to shut it down or they would have to enter and disperse the crowd, and the guards obliged.

The Lakers got smoked by the Toronto Raptors on Sunday night -- and LeBron James didn't exactly play great -- but he was still in the mood to party afterward.

TMZ Sports spotted James on the way into Diddy's 49th birthday party at Ysabel in West Hollywood ... where he celebrated with the likes of LLCOOLJ, Kourtney Kardashian, Usher, Mary J Blige and Kid Capri.

James pulled up with his wife, Savannah, in his $340k Rolls Royce but made it clear he didn't wanna talk basketball.

Here's why ... Bron and the Lakers lost to the Raptors 121 to 107 ... and LeBron only put up 18 points (he didn't even play the 4th quarter).

In the locker room, Bron told reporters it felt like the team got "hit in the mouth" and they didn't have a response.

Too bad, because there were a TON of big stars who came out to see the Lakers at Staples Center including Denzel Washington, Odell Beckham, Brian Ortega, Canelo Alvarez, Chris Bosh and more.

Lakers don't play again until Wednesday ... so, why not go out and party?

Diddy took a page straight out of Will Smith's birthday playbook to celebrate the big 4-9 ... jumping out of a plane that's more than 10,000 feet above ground.

The Bad Boy honcho went skydiving Sunday to celebrate his 49th birthday and, luckily, he made it down in one piece! Looks like he was well-prepared for the jump too -- Puff was bumpin' some old-school hip-hop as hype music before getting to the diving venue.

As for the landing ... it looks like dropped into the backyard of the Playboy Mansion. Earlier in the day, he'd expressed interest in landing there, and he later confirmed he did, in fact, get the okay. He posted a caption that read ... "I DID IT!!! Thank you to my neighbors at the Playboy Mansion for letting me use their house to land. NO FEAR!!!!"

Daredevil feats are kinda in right now. You'll recall ... Will bungee-jumped out of a helicopter into the Grand Canyon for his 50th birthday, and his wife, Jada, followed suit with her own nosedive.

Rihanna wasn't about to miss her grandfather's birthday -- be it in Barbados or elsewhere -- and he wasn't about to let her take the lead on the dance floor ... even at age 90.

RiRi flew down to her native homeland this weekend, where she and her fam celebrated Lionel 'Bravo' Braithwaite's 90th birthday at a restaurant called the Cliff in Durants. Clearly, Grandpa B's still got moves to spare despite his age, as Rihanna can attest.

He was spinning his granddaughter around and leading her steps like a spry 20-something --apparently, island living has treated him well.

While good times with fam was a top priority for Rihanna this weekend, she also found time to chime in on the upcoming midterm elections on Tuesday ... sharing a message on IG that encouraged Floridians to vote for gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum.

Kendall Jenner got turnt for her BD Saturday night ... rockin' some birthday paraphernalia on the streets of NYC, with best bud Bella Hadid along with Tyler, the Creator, and then going to a friend's apartment where everyone cut loose.

Kendall is in the middle of a full-blown 23rd birthday weekend celebration.

Check out the video. Everyone was having a super fun time, but it didn't end there. They left and hit up the Sing Sing Karaoke bar until the wee hours of the morning.

She actually had a few moments of anonymity earlier in the day, when she tooled around on a Citi Bike in Soho.

Kendall Jenner's taking a stand in NYC ... no taxis, Ubers or subways on her 23rd birthday, at least while the sun's out, anyways.

Kendall was all smiles riding a Citi Bike while sporting a green coat in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood. She turned 23 Saturday ... so you can expect supermodel to have quite the party in store.

She kinda got things started early Friday ... with a trip to Philly and hitting up Ben Simmons for some round 2 action. No word if Ben's coming along for the birthday weekend ride. The 76ers are in town right now ... they play in Brooklyn Sunday so ya never know.
