Birthdays

A father in Texas has a daughter who truly loves him ... because she took him to see some strippers to celebrate a century on Earth.

Gioacchino "Jack" Poma recently celebrated 100 trips around the Sun, and to mark the special occasion, his daughter Dina took her dad to a Dallas gentlemen's club, The Lodge.

Jack's daughter says her father loves two things in life ... women generally and boobs specifically ... so a strip joint made perfect sense for his 100th bday.

Dina says her father hadn't been to a strip club since his youth ... and when he showed up to The Lodge Halloween night, he was like a kid in a candy store.

The dancers were awestruck Jack's daughter would take him to the club ... but she says her dad only gets one life, so he should enjoy it while he can.

Sounds like it was a two-way street ... we're told the dancers adored Jack, with one feeding him pepper pasta as others brought out the birthday cake.

It's hilarious ... Dina was guiding her father around the dancers, cautioning Jack gets a little out of hand when he's excited.

Jack deserved the night out ... his wife died 12 years ago, and he had been seeing another woman ever since, but last year she died as well.

The folks who own the club tell us Jack's welcome back anytime ... they loved hosting his birthday bash!

Leonardo DiCaprio turned 48 this week -- and anyone who's anyone swung by to party.

The A-lister threw a massive bash Friday to celebrate his birthday at a private mansion in Beverly Hills, where a lot of famous faces were seen coming and going throughout the night. Truly, it was a classic who's-who of Hollywood ... something only a select few can pull off.

Among the high-profile guests ... LeBron James, Bradley Cooper, Sir Mick Jagger, Tobey Maguire, Adrien Brody, Jamie Foxx, Rami Malek, Casey Affleck, Wesley Snipes, Stella Maxwell, Nicky Hilton, Sommer Ray, Jennifer Meyer, Caylee Cowan and many, many more.

This shindig was pretty private -- Leo reportedly had folks throw their phones into secure bags before entering, so you might not be seeing many photos posted on anyone's Story.

Definitely on par with the type of pomp and circumstance we'd expect from LDC -- after all, the guy played the Great Gatsby ... so he knows how to throw a good rager, it seems.

French Montana's birthday checklist is complete -- celeb guests, fancy mansion party and exotic animals chillin' with said celebs ... check, check and check!!!

The rapper rang in his 38th at his Hidden Hills mansion Wednesday night, surrounded by Jamie Foxx, Vin Diesel, Soulja Boy and Swizz Beatz.

Tiffany Haddish was also there, and she came ready to party ... as she spent most of the night at the center of the dance floor, alongside her pals Jamie and the birthday guy.

BTW, Swizz gets credit for arriving with the most "Unforgettable" gift for French -- dude pulled up with a damn camel!! They joke around about it spitting, but for real -- where ya gonna put that thing?

As we reported, French was honored last month at the 2022 Pencils of Promise Gala ... for helping raise more than $226 million for healthcare in Africa.

Diddy went above and beyond to make sure his guests were safe at his birthday party ... making sure security was on point after a gun issue caused a scene the last time he hosted a shindig.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the legendary rap mogul had super tight security Friday night for his 53rd birthday bash, with everyone in attendance passing through a metal detector before being allowed inside.

The party went down at Diddy's Los Angeles mansion and we're told one of the streets by his estate was shut down. Our sources say guests were shuttled up to the house, and if they weren't on the list, they were turned away ... no exceptions.

It appears Diddy wasn't taking any chances after what happened this past summer, when he hosted a BET after-party at the same property -- as we first reported, a woman trying to make her way into the after-party was arrested outside Diddy's house after allegedly flashing a gun at other partygoers.

The beefed-up security also follows some recent fatal gun violence involving rappers Takeoff and PnB Rock, who were both shot dead.

Diddy's security seemed to work too ... we're told there were no issues surrounding the party.

As we reported ... Diddy's bash was crawling with celebs, including Travis Scott, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Chris Brown, French Montana, Machine Gun Kelly, Teyana Taylor, Tinashe and Jermaine Dupri and Kehlani.

Justin Bieber got down and a little dirty with his wife Hailey on the dance floor at Odell Beckham Jr.'s star-studded 30th birthday bash Saturday night ... and TMZ caught it all on camera!!!!

Check out this video we obtained showing a bare-chested Justin nuzzled up behind Hailey, clad in a skin-tight outfit, as they shimmied their hips and shuffled backward together. The lovebirds were each holding longneck bottles, hoisting them to the beat of the music. They seemed to be in great spirits, not to mention totally in love.

Of course, the Biebers weren't the only celebs having a blast at the party, several A-Listers showed... Kim Kardashian, Tristan Thompson, Idris Elba, Kendall Jenner and her boyfriend, Devin Booker.

Other bold-faced names included ... Saquon Barkley, Tyga, Chantel Jeffries, Teyana Taylor, Chris Brown, Josie Conseco, Dennis Graham, Stassie and Lori Harvey.

Kris Jenner's 67th birthday provided another chance for her daughters to get into costume ... Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Kylie celebrated by dressing up in some of their mom's iconic looks.

The birthday bash went down Friday night, with Kim explaining the theme ... "Dress up as your best Kris."

For Kim, that meant mimicking her mom's signature hairdo with a black, pixie cut wig ... and a teal sequin dress recreating Kris' outfit from an old family Christmas card.

Khloe's take on Kris -- platinum blonde, oversized sunglasses, floral pantsuit and red heels -- pays homage to a 2017 Instagram post of her mother.

Meanwhile, Kourtney brought back Kris' look from her appearance in Ariana Grande's "Thank You Next" music video ... rocking a pink jumpsuit.

The youngest of the bunch, Kylie went with a super throwback version of Kris ... wearing a long black sequin dress with red lipstick, a la Kris from the 1980s.

Kris had a front-row seat to her daughter's creative costumes ... and judging from the videos, it looks like she was having a great time, even singing some karaoke.

Kendall Jenner was noticeably absent ... but it's her birthday week too.

The Kris-themed party was Friday, and her 67th birthday is today ... with Kim posting a bunch of black-and-white photos from the bash and wishing her mom happy birthday.

Diddy rang in his 53rd year on the planet in true Diddy fashion Friday night ... Big party!! BIGGER names!! Lotsa liquor!! And dancing galore!!

The legendary rap mogul threw his fancy Bday bash at his L.A. mansion ... and the stars came out mostly dressed to the nines to lap up all the fun.

Travis Scott, in a sleek black suit, showed Diddy some love, hugging him as they chatted with excitement. The icons also pounded their fists against a table before everyone sang happy birthday to Diddy.

Jay-Z was also there, but he decided to go a little more casual in blue sweats with a matching blue hat. Jay toasted Diddy with Mary J. Blige, raising their shot glasses and downing the booze.

Other celebs in attendance ... Chris Brown, French Montana, MGK, Teyana Taylor, Kehlani, Tinashe and Jermaine Dupri.

Of course, Diddy was on the receiving end of gifts and several cakes that spelled out the word, "Love." To top things off, partygoers climbed onto a huge mattress in the backyard and danced their butts off ... with Diddy!!

Absent from the festivities was Diddy's new biz partner Elon Musk. As we reported, Diddy invested more than $10 million to help Musk buy Twitter.

Khloe Kardashian is putting her foot down with Tristan Thompson when it comes to footing the bill for their daughter's lavish parties ... something she made clear on True's 4th birthday.

Khloe's approach -- basically, "thanks but no thanks," Tristan -- comes through loud and clear in the latest episode of "The Kardashians." She was throwing a huge birthday bash for their daughter when Kris pulled Khloe aside to let her know Tristan had paid for the whole party behind her back ... and KK wasn't having it.

Khloe immediately shut down the idea, and was adamant she's paying for the entire baby banger by herself.

She told her momager .. "No, he's not taking care of the whole party."

Kris actually defended Tristan, and insisted Khloe should let him pay -- but after going back and forth, Khloe said, "That's nice, but I won't let that happen."

As you know, their relationship has seen a lot of turmoil before they split.

We broke the story ... they had a baby boy via surrogate, but Khloe later found out Tristan had cheated on her again, and had gotten another woman pregnant -- all behind her back.

In recent episodes of the show, she called TT a "liar." They've since been focused on co-parenting and denied rumors about rekindling.

As for the party, he apparently had a game and couldn't attend, but Khloe still wasn't about to let him pay for the whole party.

In her confessional, she said, "I work really hard to do elaborate things for True and I don't need anyone's help."

Russell Wilson turned into William Wordsworth for Ciara's birthday -- gushing over his wife in an emotional post on Tuesday ... and praising her as the perfect mother, businesswoman and partner.

"God blessed the world on this day with you," the Denver Broncos quarterback said on Instagram. "I love you so much. You inspire the world!"

"Every morning your mission is to make the world a better place and you have a perfect score."

Seriously ... dude poured his heart out for Ciara's 37th birthday, sharing some special moments of them together as well.

He continued ... "But most importantly, you are God's beautiful child and HE is wildly obsessed with you. Keep Shining my Love. Thank you everyday for loving me, encouraging me, and joining forces with me everyday to do what God called us to do! That’s to LOVE & SERVE."

"May this year bless you with all of your heart's desires! Happy Birthday my Queen."

While it was a really touching post, some trolls decided to take to the comments to rip the QB for his rough 2-5 start to the 2022 season ... telling him to focus on throwing touchdowns.

Drake celebrated his 36th birthday in true Drake fashion ... bringin' a bunch of big names to the club to party -- and even raffling off some HUGE prizes to the crowd!

Drizzy's big shindig went down Monday night at Sexy Fish in Miami ... and the rapper was giving partygoers the chance at $5k gift cards, $10k in cash, Chanel bags, and even a Rolex!!!

Of course, some people in attendance weren't really in dire need of freebies -- DJ Khaled, 21 Savage, Lil Baby, and Chaney Jones were just a few of the celebs partying with Champagne Papi. "Love Island" stars Emily Salch and Genevieve Shawcross were hangin' too.

Drake ripped a page outta Usher's big money playbook for his big night -- Drake bucks, featuring his face on $500 bills -- were circulating around the venue throughout the night.

The place even changed its name to Sexy Gyal for the night, just for Drake.

Kim Kardashian knows how to roll with the punches ... even if the punch is dangerously high winds forcing your private jet to get outta Las Vegas, thereby derailing your birthday party plans!

Yeah, Kim's 42nd birthday was dealt a blow from Mother Nature Saturday night, but the story has a happy ending ... in the form of the most bougee late-night burger run you'll ever see.

But, the night started with Kim, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner and a bunch of Kim's friends boarding Kylie's private jet -- Kim's must be in the shop -- for a quick flight to Las Vegas where the gang planned to take in Usher's residency.

But when they got close to Vegas, air traffic control said it was unsafe to land due to extremely high winds -- gusts up to 60 MPH -- so, the pilot had to bang a U-turn and land back in Los Angeles.

Kim's party didn't stop though ... after hopping on a party bus, someone busted out the jello shots again -- looks like Kim had plenty -- and they ended up at an In-N-Out, naturally, for burgers.

And, wow, what a scene inside! Kim in a bikini top, and Khloe in a nude catsuit ... with the whole glammed-up crew standing at the counter ordering, just like normies. As everyone knows ... there's no VIP in the late-night fast food game!

The birthday girl looked, and sounded, very pleased with a burger to cap off her night -- blame it on the shots. It wasn't Usher in Sin City, but Kim seemed alright with the change of plans.

Kim Kardashian's 42nd birthday is all about the fam -- family memories, family videos, a family-filled party ... and even a close encounter with her ex, Kanye West.

Kim capped off her big day Friday by throwing a low-key party at her office space in Calabasas -- Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble, Kendall Jenner and a few close friends all showed up to celebrate.

As for gifts ... we know she got a couple really sweet videos -- one from her mom. Kris posted vintage (aka VHS) footage of Kim from one of her 1st birthday parties ... and added a pretty complete montage that tracked Kim from a toddler, right up to present day.

She also got a pretty creative shout-out from her firstborn, North West.

Kim's daughter posted a TikTok of herself and her mama lip-syncing Becky Hill and David Guetta’s “Remember.” North included a pretty simple caption ... "Moms birthday tik tok."

Let's face it, even for a 42-year-old, your b-day ain't lit if it ain't on TikTok!!!

The only potential wrinkle on Kim's birthday came at North's basketball game. Before her party, Kim was courtside for the game, but so was North's papa, Ye.

Just as at previous games ... the exes weren't sitting far from each other, but they had no interaction. Sooo, birthday crisis averted.

Doja Cat knows how to make an exclusive Hollywood event feel even more elite -- her 27th birthday brought out a huge list of big names, who were reminded this is as inside as inside gets.

The bash went down Friday night in WeHo at the Raspoutine on Melrose -- and the guest of honor arrived rocking an elaborate gold mask adorned with more feathers than your average peacock.

In fact, almost all her guests showed up in masks -- thankfully, not the kind we had to wear during the pandemic -- adhering to what seems to have been a masquerade ball theme.

Adding to the elite air of the event was Doja's birthday cake -- a massive black and gold covered 3-tiered dessert -- which had several Illuminati logos on it.

Inside, guests partied to a lot of hip hop hits, of course, but we're told there was also a lot of 1950's jazz played too, seemingly a nod to the evening's theme -- and DC joked she wasn't letting her age get her down.

'Cause, as we all know, it's all downhill from 27. 😭

Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner and Shawn Mendes all showed up ready to party -- although it doesn't look like Shawn got the memo on the theme.

Paul Pierce continues to be the butt of the joke after his viral raunchy twerking party last year -- his friends trolled him by getting a birthday cake with a picture from the infamous Instagram Live session ... and it's hilarious!!

Pierce, who celebrated his 45th birthday last Thursday, posted a picture of the cake on Twitter ... which poked fun at his NSFW gathering that led to his exit from ESPN.

On the cake is a pic of Paul -- who looks mesmerized -- pictured next to a scantily clad woman with the words, "Monica come through," and "Happy Birthday Habibi."

"My boys got me this cake fa my bday they play to much," Pierce said on Twitter ... seemingly accepting the friendly jab.

Remember ... the former Celtics superstar posted a video on Instagram showing him having a good time as scantily-clad women twerked on the floor behind him.

Pierce was fired from his ESPN job just days later.

Paul didn't seem too phased by his firing at the time ... posting a video of him smiling and laughing, saying, "Big Things coming soon stay tuned make sure u smile."

Shoutout to Paul for being a good sport about it all.

Stephen Curry took a moment to honor Brittney Griner during the Golden State Warriors' championship ring ceremony on Opening Night -- wishing the hooper a happy 32nd birthday and supporting the efforts to bring her home.

"We want to continue to use our platform and the opportunity to shoutout a very special member of the basketball community -- Brittney Griner's birthday is today," Curry said before the Warriors hung their fourth banner in eight years.

"She's 32 years old. We want to continue to let her name be known. And, we pray that ... it's been 243 days since she's been wrongfully incarcerated in Russia. We hope that she comes home soon and everybody's doing their part to get her home."

Griner, who's been in custody in Russia since February, briefly thanked her supporters during what should have been a special day ... saying in a statement, "Thank you everyone for fighting so hard to get me home."

"All the support and love are definitely helping me."

As for the Warriors, their rings (made by Jason of Beverly Hills) are incredible -- they feature 16 carats of yellow and white diamonds set in yellow gold to represent their 16 wins in the playoffs.

It's the first championship ring to be made up of mostly yellow diamonds -- in honor of the team's "golden age."

They also have a special secret compartment ... which reveals the number of trophies each player has individually won over the course of their career.

There are seven carats of yellow cushion cut diamonds on the bezel to mark the team's total championships in franchise history ... and 43 baguettes in the bridge of the logo on top for Curry's 43-point performance in the Finals.

Brittney Griner is spending her 32nd birthday behind bars in Russian prison ... and her wife, Cherelle, is thanking President Joe Biden and his administration for working nonstop in hopes of bringing her home before her 33rd.

Monday marked 8 months since the Phoenix Mercury superstar was detained for having cannabis oil in her belongings at a Russian airport ... and Cherelle says the separation has been beyond challenging.

"I've felt every moment of the grueling seven months without her," Cherelle said in a video.

Despite Griner's ongoing imprisonment, Cherelle is hopeful the U.S. is continuing to fight for her freedom.

"I want to thank President Biden for the Administration's efforts to secure her release."

"As my family and I continue on this journey, I'd like to thank our friends, leaders and supporters who continue to stand with us and advocate for Brittney's swift and safe return."

As we previously reported, Cherelle opened up about Brittney's mental battles while behind bars ... saying her wife feels like her life doesn't matter anymore, and fears she has been forgotten in Russia.

"Let's share a unified commitment to bringing all Americans home to their families and loved ones," Cherelle added.

With Tuesday being Brittney's birthday, Cherelle is calling on her supporters to continue sending support on social media by using the hashtags #WeAreBG and #BringThemHome.

The government has been negotiating with Russia ... and claims it offered a "substantial" proposal to bring her home ASAP.
