A$AP Ferg I Got a Colorful Smile ... Thanks to the Pope

Self-described "Hood Pope" A$AP Ferg is trying to one-up the real Pontiff with a crucifix-inspired grill with just about every color in the rainbow.

Dave Bling and Big Will of NYC-based DWS Jewelry tell us Ferg dropped $10k this week on a new mouthpiece that spells out "Hood Pope" in multicolored diamonds.

It's pretty dope ... Bling used white diamonds for the top part's "Hood," plus green, pink, yellow and blue diamonds to spell out "Pope" on the bottom. He threw in some rubies, pearls and pink diamonds to fill out the design.

Bling says Ferg was inspired by an old photo he remembered of His Holiness rocking a bejeweled crucifix. No official papal blessing for Ferg's grill. Not yet.

Drake Jewelry Thief Gets a Year in Jail

Drake can finally close the book on the $3 million tour bus heist that had him fuming -- the perp's been sentenced to county jail for a year.

The Maricopa County D.A. tells us Travion King will also be on 5 years supervised probation after his time in lockup. You'll recall Drake went BALLISTIC after finding out a briefcase full of jewelry was lifted from his tour bus during a September stop in Phoenix.

Travion was later busted for breaking into a woman's dorm room at Arizona State, and that's when cops found the briefcase.

Drizzy MIGHT be calming down now. Maybe.

Celebrity Burglaries Just Part of L.A. Crime Explosion

Hollywood celebrities are being hit left and right by burglars ... but as far as the crooks are concerned they're nobody special, because high-end break-ins are out of control this year.

TMZ broke the story, Dodgers star Yasiel Puig was the latest to be hit, with thieves making off with more than half a mil in jewelry. Other celebs hit include Alanis Morissette, Cesar Millan and Derek Fisher.

Law enforcement tells us ... they believe the celebs were not targeted because they flaunted their jewelry and other riches on social media. The sources say these celebs all live in ritzy areas of L.A., and there has been an influx of criminals because California has recently opened the prison doors.

Recent laws have addressed terrible prison overcrowding by ordering the release of a number of non-violent criminals. There are also drug offenses that have been reduced from felonies to misdemeanors.

Our sources say a number of the people released are burglars, and now that they're out they're going back to what they know. As a result, there has been an explosion of burglaries in the L.A. area.

And there's something else. We're told a number of people who were hit, including some of the celebs who have become victims, did not turn their alarms on because they assumed it wasn't necessary since they live in what they believed were safe areas.

Kim K.'s Stolen Ring Similar Massive Stone Surfaces ... Not So Unique After All?

Kim Kardashian West's stolen $4 mil diamond may not be as rare as once thought -- a VERY similar stone surfaced in Italy, and it raises questions about what REALLY happened to Kim's bling.

After the robbery in France, one of the suspects told officials the stone was likely chopped up because it would be easier to move tiny diamonds than one big one.

But look what's up for sale in Italy ... a 22 carat cushion cut diamond ring that looks identical to Kim's piece.

We're not saying it's Kim's ring -- she said hers was only 20 carats -- but the point is, maybe Kim's diamond isn't the once-in-a-lifetime piece everyone thought it was.

And the more massive look-alikes on the market, the easier it would be for Kim's diamond to get lost in the shuffle IF someone tried to fence it.

Calls to the Pink Panther haven't been returned.

Kendall Jenner Lil Somethin' in Her Teeth ... And It's Blinging!

Kendall Jenner was all smiles Monday night in London because that's the only way people could see her double cap gold grill.

Kenny hit up the Love and Burberry party at Annabel’s Club. It's London Fashion Week over there, so anything goes, even if it looks like a piece of leftover salad caught in a molar.

First rule of grill club -- if ya got it, flaunt it!

Master P $320k of V-Day Joy! His/Hers Rolls-Royce from Sugar Mama

Master P is living a life of luxury -- not on his own dime, but thanks to his new girlfriend ... who dropped six figures to lace him up on Valentine's Day.

Sources close to the situation tell us P's been dating Simin Hashemizadeh -- CEO at South Pacific Surgery Center in Bev Hills -- for several months, and she hooked him up with a white 2016 Rolls-Royce Ghost for $270,000. We're told the new whip matches hers, and btw ... P already had a black one.

Cars 911 dealership tells us Simin's gift was a total surprise to Master P, and that was just the start. We're told she also got him a $50k pair of diamond earrings from VHS Diamonds in L.A.

We're guessing his estranged wife will find this very interesting.

Alanis, Kim Sitting Ducks for Thieves Cops Say Social Media is Criminals' Bible

Alanis Morissette, Kim Kardashian and a bunch of other celebs have turned their social media accounts into a Thomas Guide for criminals who are looking for the most expensive jewelry in town.

Law enforcement sources tell us they believe Instagram and other platforms have become the undoing of famous folks who show off expensive bling. TMZ broke the story, Alanis was just hit by burglars who made off with $2 mil in jewelry.

No surprise ... Alanis has been posting photos of her bling on various social media platforms and her blog. Some of the rings, bracelets and other jewelry go for thousands and thousands of bucks.

Kim learned her lesson, but a slew of celebs continue to flaunt their wealth on social media.

Cops tell us it's simple for thieves to find out where people live, and by posting pics of jewelry in the home it becomes a roadmap for a quick hit. They say the problem is compounded when celebs post vacation photos in real time, because it's like a neon sign to break in.

Lil Yachty at the Grammys I Dropped $35k To Taste the Rainbow

Lil Yachty paid more to put a fresh grill in his mouth on Grammy night than most women spend on designer gowns for the event.

Icebox Diamonds & Watches tells us Yachty reached out last Tuesday and requested a grill to match his vibrant personality. That's exactly what he got. We're told each tooth is a different jewel -- white, blue and yellow diamonds, red rubies, and green emeralds.

It was $35,000 for the pair of grills ... and yes, that includes delivery. Icebox says a rep flew to L.A. on Sunday to hand off the rainbow-colored grill to Yachty just a few hours before the show.

He was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Performance but lost to Drake.

It wasn't a Grammy, but he still got some nice hardware out of the evening.

Drake New Bling Cost A Small Fortune

ICED OUT

Drake's been fitted with a new chain ... and the price alone could send someone into a pretty comfortable retirement.

Sources close to the rapper say Drizzy's new bling from jeweler Ben Baller hovers right around the $100k mark. We're told the piece features black, green, and canary yellow diamonds with 880 grams of gold. The pendant reads, "Stone Island" ... the company responsible for his current tour.

By the looks of the vid, Drake's pleased.

Kim Kardashian I'm Bling-Less Again ... In My Gaming World

Kim Kardashian's video game character is now just like the real deal ... missing the giant rock on her finger.

Animated Kim -- on her mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood -- relaunched sans ring ... and it was no accident. Our sources say the game always tries to maintain a similar story line to the happenings in Kim's real life -- so the diamond ring on virtual Kim just didn't make sense.

As we told you, Kim spent 3 days in NYC talking to a French judge about the ring and the whole robbery. We're guessing that won't be included in the game.

PUBLIC RECONCILIATION

Looks like RECONCILIATION for Scottie Pippen and his estranged wife, Larsa -- the two had a pretty big date night in Hollywood together Monday night ... with Larsa sporting a FAT new diamond ring.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Scottie filed for divorce back in October following a series of domestic incidents at their Florida home. Larsa had called 911 multiple times but no arrests were ever made.

But that was then ... now, it seems they've made up -- because last night they looked very couply as they hit The Nice Guy in West Hollywood.

Inside the restaurant, Scottie was all smiles as he sang with David Foster. Kourtney Kardashian was also inside.

As for Larsa's new ring, she posted a pic calling it her Valentine's present. She wouldn't say who gave it to her when we asked ... but it seems pretty obvious now.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Fisher's L.A. home was burglarized on Monday and the ex-NBA star claimed $300k in jewelry was stolen including his 5 NBA Championship rings he won with the Lakers.

We spoke with a Lakers rep who tells us it IS possible for Fisher to get replacement rings and the team would be happy to work with the companies that made the bling to get new ones for Derek.

It doesn't mean the Lakers would pay for the new jewelry ... but they would essentially authorize the companies to manufacture brand new keepsakes for Fish.

Hopefully he's got good homeowners insurance.

Kim Kardashian Stolen Jewelry Melted Down for Pennies

Kim Kardashian will never get the jewelry that was stolen from her in Paris ... because almost all of it was melted down.

Paris law enforcement confirms to TMZ ... one of the thieves in the October robbery confessed everything but the ring was melted down ... because the robbers felt they'd be caught trying to sell the pieces.

According to Le Monde newspaper, the melted down bling was worth somewhere between $26k and $30k. Pretty shocking since the value of the melted down jewelry was $1.6 million.
