Couples

Tyga and Travis Barker are linking up again and it has nothing to do with any old family ties ... the duo's actually getting ready to drop some new music.

Witnesses tell TMZ ... Tyga and his buddy, Alexander "AE" Edwards, strolled into Travis' studio Tuesday in Calabasas ... something that's become a common sight lately.

Sources familiar with the situation say the rapper and drummer have been spending a lot of time together in the studio, and the tunes they're cooking up will be for an upcoming EP.

They plan to drop the project in the coming months.

The collab isn't all that surprising ... considering Tyga and Travis have worked on music together in the past. There's also some family history, of course.

You'll recall, Tyga dated Kylie Jenner many moons ago -- they were first linked when she was 17 and he was 24. As you know, TB married Kylie's sister, Kourtney Kardashian back in April 2022.

Travis has been rocking out with Blink-182 as of late, after sharing the stage at Coachella with his bandmates Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus -- their first shows in 9 years.

Kanye West celebrated his birthday with two very important people by his side, and it appears those same two people are getting along just fine ... as North West and Ye's wife, Bianca Censori, strolled hand-in-hand into his birthday bash.

Check out the pics taken from outside Kanye's party Saturday night in Los Angeles to celebrate his 46th birthday. You see North, wearing her dad's signature black boots and fingers locked with Bianca as the two made their way inside.

It's not the first time North's spent time with Bianca, but she's clearly getting more comfortable with Ye's new wife.

It also appeared North had a series of painful-looking scrapes on her face ... but we're told it's just makeup -- as the 9-year-old likes to experiment with FX looks.

Inside the bash, a DJ played a bunch of Kanye's greatest hits, there was sushi served on models and minimal lighting, mostly by candlelight.

One guest also captured a cute moment between North and Kanye where she recorded him lip-syncing to his song "Off The Grid" while Bianca watched on.

As for other celebs in attendance, it wasn't the A-list filled roster of Kanye parties in the past -- but Chloe Bailey and Ty Dolla Sign both showed face.

DC Young Fly is turning to his faith to help move his family through an incredibly tough time after the death of Jacky Oh! ... delivering a powerful message during a beautiful service for the mother of three.

DC spoke Saturday at Jacky's celebration of life as family, friends and loved ones gathered in Atlanta to remember Jacky. His message was clear and powerful -- he's a God-fearing man and isn't questioning God's plan.

Throughout his words, DC continued to tell Jacky how much he loved her and praised her as an incredible mother to their kids. The comedian also thanked those in attendance for their posts and messages of support -- saying many of them helped him through.

Looking to the future -- DC says when you see him out with a smile, interacting and carrying on, it's because of the spirit helping him through ... as his journey forward is unimaginable.

And, of course, in true DC fashion -- he had everyone cracking up at one point of his message ... saying God granted him the strength to have three children, thrusting his hips and saying, "You know I wanted 7 more."

The audience burst out laughing, and so did the comedian, before pointing to Jacky's casket and joking she was gonna beat him up for the joke.

Finally, on a more solemn note ... DC says he knows Jacky didn't leave her family, she's in heaven and her spirit is with all of them.

Naomi Watts is a married woman for the first time in her life -- 'cause she said "I do" to Billy Crudup ... who also walked down the aisle as a newbie.

The actress announced their marriage on social media Saturday, posting a photo of what appears to be her and BC standing on the steps of a courthouse -- where he's in a blue suit and she's in a white dress of some sort ... complete with a bouquet and everything.

Photos of them heading back to their NYC apartment Friday made the rounds ... everyone suspected they might've tied the knot, on account of their matching wedding bands.

Amid all the speculation, NW finally confirmed it ... simply writing, "Hitched!" She's been dating Billy since 2017 -- they met on the set of their shared Netflix show, "Gypsy." Like we said, neither Naomi nor Billy had ever actually been married before this ... although they did each have long-term relationships with other people, which resulted in children, etc.

Billy had been with Mary-Louise Parker and Claire Danes before this. Meanwhile, Naomi was with Liev Schrieber for a long time. Now, at their shared age of 54, they're man and wife.

Bryan Cranston recently made it seem like he was hanging up his Hollywood career as he approaches age 70 -- but that's not quite the case ... as he just clarified himself.

The actor posted an IG that attempted to set the record straight on comments he made in a GQ interview -- which strongly suggested he was going to retire from showbiz, and maybe even every other endeavor he's involved in professionally too ... including his tequila brand.

Of course, people were freaking out over the prospect of him leaving the spotlight -- but now, he's saying it won't be a full-blown retirement ... more so a long pause. BC writes, "I am not retiring. What I am going to do is hit the pause button for a year after I reach my 70th birthday in 2026." He says he's not sure what pausing means, but adds he'll take at least a year off to focus on other things in his life ... like his marriage, for example.

Bryan explains ... "First, it will allow me to spend time with Robin (my beautiful wife of 34 years now) in a way that I haven’t been able to in the last 25 years…not as a wife of a celebrity, but as a loving married couple entering into - well, let’s be honest, our latter years, with new hopes and goals and experiences."

Another thing Bryan's hoping to achieve with his career pause ... a newfound approach to acting. He says he's out of fresh ideas on how to play certain characters and feels as though he needs to replenish his soul to figure out another way to get into roles.

Plus, the dude wants to read and stuff -- so he says he's unplugging from all social media and business he's involved in to recenter and refocus. In the meantime, Bryan says there are more film and TV projects of his that'll be coming out before the 2026 deadline.

Lala Kent has no doubt the flame between Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss will die out sooner than later ... and she's confident Tom will be to blame for their eventual breakup.

We got the "Vanderpump Rules" star at LAX, where she echoed what many fans have said about Tom and Raquel -- the whole "Scandoval" was a fun, sneaky fling for them, but that doesn't mean they'll stand the test of time.

Lala thinks Raquel would be down to turn their affair into a long-term, committed romance -- but Tom's a different story. She adds, "Whoever marries Sandoval, I feel really bad for them."

As for Ariana, Lala says her big discovery on Tom's phone -- which exposed the affair -- was truly a blessing in disguise.

After nearly a year of dating, LaMelo Ball and his girlfriend, Ana Montana, went Instagram official on Friday ... and things appear to be serious -- 'cause the model says she's in love!!

The Charlotte Hornets star and influencer certainly haven't been hiding their romance ... exchanging mushy social media messages and featuring each other on their stories over the past few months.

While everyone assumed they were the real deal, the two never really came out and confirmed they were "official" until Friday ... when Melo and Montana shared each other on their IG grids.

Montana -- real name Analicia Chaves -- captioned her pics "The ONE😍🥰💕" and ... Melo wrote "1 of 1's 😘🛸💕" on his post.

Montana left a sweet comment on Melo's page ... saying, "I love you baby 💕😍🥰" ... and their fans went crazy.

"Happy looks so good on you 😍😍," one fan said ... while another said they look like a great couple.

Ball has made a splash in the NBA so far in his short career ... but his 2022-23 campaign was cut short due to a bad ankle injury. It's safe to say Ana did her part in helping him recover off the court.

Doja Cat looks like she's the woman in J.Cyrus' life ... because they're down in Mexico together, making out on a yacht.

The "Woman" singer slipped into a super skimpy orange bikini Thursday in Los Cabos and packed on the PDA during a day on the water.

Doja showed off her curves and her pearly whites ... busting out a huge smile on the boat, where she stayed cool with an ice cold beverage ... which is super important on a hot Cabo day.

She soaked up the sun, and sucked face with J.Cyrus, who dabbles in comedy, music and acting.

When they weren't kissing or laying out on the yacht, Doja Cat and J.Cyrus were tooling around together on a jet ski ... he was at the controls, and she was holding on tight.

Check out the gallery ... Doja Cat is showing us why Cabo is a favorite destination for celebs looking to have a little fun in the sun.

Bill Murray and Kelis are apparently Hollywood's newest couple ... at least according to a new report that says the two are dating.

The veteran actor and "Milkshake" singer recently started hitting it off -- according to the US Sun -- which reports they've been hanging out a lot together, both in the United States and across the pond.

While it may sound like an unlikely pairing at first glance, 72-year-old Bill recently took in a couple of 43-year-old Kelis' shows in London ... posing for a backstage photo together after at least one of the gigs.

Not only that, they were reportedly also seen at the same London hotel, and have been getting close since linking up stateside.

There is a common bond between them, though it's not exactly cheery ... Kelis' second husband died in March 2022 and Bill's estranged wife died in 2021, and that's one of the things they reportedly bonded over.

It doesn't sound like Bill and Kelis are putting labels on their situation ... the outlet cited a friend as saying, "Whatever it is that has brought them together, and however unlikely it seems, they are both single and are having fun despite the fairly big age gap."

Drake's "Search & Rescue" cover star Lilah may be more than just a friend to the megastar rapper gauging from the level of affection his public birthday message displayed!!!

Drake spread a little Gemini love Tuesday, referring to Lilah as his "inspo," "confidant" and "heart" ... not typical terms for someone you only consider a friend.

Earlier in the day, Drake and J Hus dropped a new dancehall ditty titled "Who Told You" where Drake gave her a shoutout ... "So Lilah Pi, don't make my eye cry/Let me hold your controller, I'm not one of the controllin' guys I want you to touch road with the girlsdem, and socialize/Enjoy your life, your backside is so fit, it opens eyes I know the vibes, I know the vibes."

It was just a couple months ago when Lilah's face (part of it, at least) had fans under the impression Drake had linked up with Kim Kardashian ... but turns out, it was Lilah.

Lilah reshared Drake's message while adding a "4L" hashtag of her own to the image.

Scheana Shay is shaming Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss for heating up their affair while they were in Mexico for her wedding ... claiming other guests picked up on the vibes.

We got the "Vanderpump Rules" star and her husband at LAX on the heels of the reunion show, and our photog asked if there were any surprises that came out of part two.

Scheana says they knew all the details of Tom and Raquel's scandal ... but tells us it's still pretty "disgusting" how they hooked up behind Ariana Madix's back at her wedding.

Remember ... Raquel revealed she and Tom banged multiple times during Scheana's August wedding in Mexico, which flies in the face of Tom claiming it was just a "one-night stand."

Scheana says when the cheating scandal broke, wedding guests started reaching out to tell her they noticed something strange going on between Tom and Raquel ... and everyone began connecting the dots.

City Girls are looking to make their third studio album the charm ... and they want the project's first single "I Need a Thug" to provide the spark.

On Thursday, Yung Miami and JT began their summer rollout with the song that samples LL Cool J's "I Need Love" and finds the Florida-based duo clamoring for "money, sex and drugs" ... probably because it rhymes with "thug!"

Miami is linked to Diddy IRL, and JT and Lil Uzi Vert have been going strong for years, but if the new record is to be believed, that may change soon!!!

In a new interview, the City Girls explained how they tried their hardest not to deliver anything "corny" but championed the new album as "elevated p***y rap." As for what exactly that term means -- JT says, "It's still p***y rap, like it'll be fun, but much more elevated."

Okay. 🤔

With 2 albums, 1 mixtape and a handful of platinum and gold singles under their Chanel belts, Miami swears the group has ascended to legendary status and JT thinks their reign has been unprecedented.

As she puts it, "It ain't been two bitches to come in, have this personality, and give people the attitude."

DC Young Fly is breaking his silence on the death of his longtime partner, Jacky Oh!, calling her the greatest mother he's ever known ... and promising to tell their kids how amazing she was for the rest of their lives.

DC took to Instagram, posting a series of photos of their family, and writing, "I wasn’t in no rush to post this because I wanted it to be a dream so bad but every hour I’m reminded of realty so I wanna make sure I applaud you in the proper manner."

He says, "You are the GREATEST MOTHER I KNOW your soul was beautiful Yu always wanted the best for others and I admired how our family love each other!!! Never had to worry about our kids loving each other cause you were on top of Dat!!!"

DC also shared some details of the couple's last convo, revealing he said he'd pray for her -- though it's not exactly clear why he felt the need to do so.

He continues, "LOVE YOU FOREVER jus know we goinn harder than ever and GOD is in control and he got us covered."

TMZ broke the story, Jacky died in Miami last week.

While her cause of death is currently unclear, online reports said she was in the city for some sort of "Mommy Makeover" cosmetic procedure.

The "Vanderpump Rules" reunion reached its climactic conclusion Wednesday night as Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss professed their love for one another -- doing so right in front of Tom’s jilted ex Ariana Madix.

The dramatic sequence went down halfway through the third and final part of the 'VPR' Season 10 reunion when Bravo host Andy Cohen asked Raquel why she didn't slam the brakes on her affair with Tom.

Raquel said it was "almost impossible" to turn away from their relationship, prompting Andy to explore if she was in love with Tom at the time. After a tense moment, Raquel nodded and said, "Yeah."

Predictably, Ariana lost it and did some name-calling, but Raquel stayed composed and went on to admit she was still in love with Tom.

Andy then turned to Tom and questioned whether he had the same feelings for Raquel. Tom took a deep breath and thought about it for what felt like an eternity ... then he finally blurted out, “I’m sorry. Yes.”

Of course, Ariana reacted with disgust, labeling Tom and Raquel "grody" and their expressions of love as "the most pathetic thing I've ever heard." Earlier, Ariana promised to never see or speak to Raquel again after the reunion and compared her to an evil "Dementor" creature from the 'Harry Potter' films.

The other 'VPR' cast members -- Lala Kent, James Kennedy, Tom Schwartz and Lisa Vanderpump -- chimed in from time to time, but it was mostly the Tom, Ariana and Raquel show.

Jay-Z is at least $7 million richer than he was one day ago, and the money means he can finally put a more than 7-year-long legal battle behind him.

TMZ Hip Hop has learned Paralux Fragrances sent $7,259,061.31 to Jay's team on Wednesday -- that's what the company owed him after losing the lawsuit it filed, way back in January 2016, claiming the mogul hadn't lived up to promotional obligations for the cologne Gold Jay-Z.

As we reported, a jury ruled in favor of Jay more than a year ago, but Parlux had filed an appeal ... which it lost last week. As a result, the company was on the hook for the court-ordered amount of $6.8 million plus interest.

Here's a little perspective on how long the Parlux battle dragged on -- when the lawsuit was filed, Jay-Z was worth about $610 million, according to Forbes. Seven years later, he's more than quadrupled that!!!

While the $7 mil would be like hitting the lotto for most of us, it's a drop in the bucket for someone as successful as Jay.

TMZ broke the story ... he and Beyonce just paid $200 million -- CASH, no less -- for their new Malibu mansion. It's the most expensive real estate deal in California history, and the 2nd biggest in U.S. history, and on top of that, they also have a $100 million Bel-Air home.

Ariana Madix coming face-to-face with Raquel Leviss is absolutely bonkers ... and the f-bomb-heavy rant over the affair with Tom Sandoval finally plays out on tonight's "Vanderpump Rules" reunion finale.

In a preview of the episode, Ariana and Raquel argue back and forth about the 'Scandoval' before Ariana explodes ... "You had already f***ed him at that point so shut the f*** up!"

It doesn't end there ... Ariana gives Raquel this very graphic piece of advice, "Go f*** yourself with a f***ing cheese grater. F*** you. You f***ing suck."

Tom tries to defend Rachel Raquel saying, "We don't live our lives by logic," and that sets off wild laughter in his face from nearly the entire cast.

Round 3 of the 3-part reunion seems to pick up right where it left off ... you''ll recall, Tom got roasted by his castmates over his affair, and clearly they have a lot more to say to him and his partner in crime.

Expect both of them to play the role of piñatas for the rest of the show. Hopefully, Andy Cohen doesn't have too much trouble with the clean-up.
