Drake & Adele Hey, Best Friend ... Let's Go Bowl and Vape!!!
Here's a blossoming celeb pairing we're all here for ... Drake and Adele!!!
We're told the music superstars kicked it last weekend for one fun night ... galavanting around L.A.'s San Fernando Valley. Try this on for #SundayFunday -- we're told Drizzy and Adizzy (??) chowed down at Jerry's Famous Deli before moving the party next door to Pinz Bowling.
Sorry, no photos ... the dynamic duo rented out the entire joint for themselves and a couple friends.
Then, it was off to Chill N Vape Lounge, where we're told Drake bought a Juul and some pods -- mango and peach. Flavor matters to Aubrey.
You can stop thinking what you're thinking ... we're told the evening was purely platonic.
As for the root of the friendship ... Adele hit up one of Drake's concerts back in October, and we're told they met after the show and bonded.
No word on who said "Hello" first.

The Currys sat down with 44 for a serious power dinner Monday night in San Francisco at Ayesha's restaurant, International Smoke. Her collaborator and chef, Michael Mina, posed with the smiling trio and shouted out Barack, saying ... "No greater privilege than to cook for this man on Presidents Day. Thank you for the highest honor @barackobama!"
The star power at the dinner table didn't stop there -- John Legend and Chrissy Teigen showed up to make it a fab fivesome. Chrissy also shared a shot of herself enjoying a drink with Chef Michael.
You'll recall, Steph set up a meeting last month in Washington, D.C. between his BFF and his Golden State Warriors teammates ... who opted out of meeting President Trump to celebrate their NBA Championship.
As for why they're all in the Bay Area ... Barack, Steph and John are all taking part in the My Brother's Keeper conference in Oakland, aimed at supporting boys and young men of color. It's being hosted by the Obama Foundation.
Good eats, good cause ... good times!

Miranda Lambert Pics & Vids of Confrontation ... In Salad Dumping Incident
1:25 PM PT -- We just got video of the incident ... and you see Miranda's millennial friend getting screamed at by the guy whose wife ended up with a salad on her lap. The video was shot after Miranda dumped the salad on her.
The last part of the video shows Miranda walking out of the steakhouse.
And, check out the photos ... in one you see Miranda being held back by her millennial friend ... that's how heated it got.
Postscript ... we found the salad in question was NOT Miranda's. Turns out the singer grabbed the salad the woman was eating and rearranged it on her lap!
Miranda Lambert had a heated exchange with a couple dining at a Nashville steakhouse, and things got so nasty she dumped a salad on a woman she says was provoking her ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Miranda say the food fight went down Sunday night at Stoney River Steakhouse, where the singer was dining with her mother and a family friend. We're told an older man started beefing with Miranda's buddy, and things started spiraling out of control.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops responded to a call about 2 men fighting, but by the time police arrived at the scene, Miranda and her party were gone. We're told cops didn't file a report.
As for why Miranda felt compelled to dump her dinner on the woman ... we're told the woman's husband picked a fight with Miranda's friend, which started in the men's restroom with a wisecrack about millennials and their phones.
Eyewitnesses say Miranda had to be held back after the man came up to her table and started screaming ... we're told Miranda started mouthing off and eventually walked over to the man's wife, got feisty with her and dumped a salad in her lap!!!
We reached out to Miranda's team, they had no comment. We also reached out to the restaurant's corporate office ... so far, no word back.

Jennifer Aniston Brad Pitt Attends Big 5-0 ... No Hard Feelings
Jennifer Aniston is turning 50, and what better way to celebrate than inviting your ex-hubby Brad Pitt to the shindig?
It's kinda a big deal ... because their 5-year marriage fell apart when he hooked up with Angelina Jolie and eventually married her.
Brad snaked around most of the paparazzi Saturday night at the Sunset Tower hotel on the Sunset Strip but you see him from behind as he enters the building. BTW, it's Jen's favorite spot in town ... she's there all the time and, in case you're interested, loves the chicken salad.
Brad was in a holy custody war with Angelina, but this doesn't seem to be a case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." From all appearances, Brad and Jen remained on friendly terms.
A bunch of other celebs showed up, including Robert Downey, Jr., Reese Witherspoon, Rande Gerber, Pharrell Williams, Keith Richards, Gwyneth Paltrow, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, George and Amal Clooney, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Barbra Streisand and many others.
BTW ... Brad used to date Gwyneth, so he knew the room!
Jen turns 50 on Monday. Happy BD!!!

Chrissy and John AOC's Too Busy for Margherita-Ville ... On Grammys Night
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend don't seem to be holding out much hope Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will chow down on pizza with them on Grammys night.
John and Crissy were on their way into Spago Saturday night in Bev Hills, when our photog asked about their overture to AOC ... where the Mayor of Twitter said, "hello my hero, do you wanna come over and watch the grammys with us? there will be pizza."
AOC responded and didn't say no, tweeting back, "yes! we can live-tweet me burning something in the kitchen."
Chrissy and John seem to telegraph AOC's got other stuff to do. Well, maybe they'll FaceTime each other burning crust!

Fear of God Founder Jerry Lorenzo No Excuse, Gucci ... Blackface is Unacceptable!!!
Fashion designer Jerry Lorenzo says Gucci's got a serious problem -- either the brand's too dumb to realize it's promoting hateful imagery ... or it's doing it on purpose.
We got the founder of streetwear label Fear of God outside Delilah in Weho Friday night, who compares the Italian fashion house's recent blackface sweater blunder to a popular scene in the 1995 film "Casino" ... and it's pretty great.
Jerry's take is Gucci's at fault no matter how you slice it, because it's either not socially conscious of how an item like this would be perceived ... or it's flat-out being racist intentionally.
And, it's a bad look regardless.
Lorenzo thinks Gucci will recover, though -- despite calls for a boycott by Spike Lee and T.I. -- because that's just the nature of the news cycle these days.
BTW -- Fear of God's got a huge following, with celeb fans like Cardi B and Justin Bieber.

James Harrison Clowns Trump Gonna Feed the Patriots Hamburgers?!
Wanna see a very scary NFL star mocking President Trump? Well, here ya go ...
James Harrison -- the monster pass rusher who played with the Patriots last year -- says the thought of his former team visiting the White House is hilarious ... and he's pointing to that burger debacle with Clemson.
Remember, when Clemson won the National Championship in January, Trump treated the players to cold hamburgers and pizza from his favorite fast food joints ... including McDonald's, Burger King and Domino's.
So, we asked Harrison if he had any inside info on if the Patriots would be visiting Trump to celebrate the Super Bowl ... and out came the jokes!!!
"They got some Carl's Jr. waiting on them I think," Harrison goofed.
"I don't know what [Trump's] gonna do for them. He did McDonald's for them other boys or something right? Or Burger King?!"
"They might get some Burger King, they can have it their way then!"
Harrison says he doesn't really think the White House visit is a big deal -- he had 2 opportunities to go during his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and passed both times.
"Once when Obama was in (2009). Once when Bush was in (2006). I just didn't feel the need to go."
"It wasn't gonna make or break my day if I went to the White House. It was another house."
We also talked to Harrison about his big debut in "S.W.A.T." airing Thursday night ... and he talks about starring alongside Shemar Moore and what's coming up next!!!

Jimmy Kimmel Pal's Arrest at Beach Home Caught on Video
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 1.1K shares
We got video at Jimmy Kimmel's beachside rental home when his friend was taken into custody. You can see from the video the friend surrenders quietly, and we now have information that seems to show he did NOT make the threatening 911 call.
Adam Perry Lang, famous chef and best-selling author, was handcuffed and placed in the back of a police vehicle after an 8-hour standoff stand-off. Police arrested him for felony criminal threats, for allegedly calling 911 and saying he had explosives in the house and had assaulted his girlfriend with a rifle.
Lang was taken to the police station last Sunday morning and booked. Jimmy Kimmel went to the station to make bail for him -- $50,000. Lang, who was released, is adamant ... he did NOT make the call.
Sources connected to the investigation tell TMZ, Hermosa Beach cops checked Lang's cellphone and it showed he did NOT make a 911 call. We're told police want to do more checking to see if Lang had a scrambling device on the phone so he could make a 911 call undetected. It seems implausible someone would go through the trouble of scrambling the call yet giving the address where he's at.
TMZ broke the story ... Lang says he was sound asleep when cops roared over to the house last weekend and he had his ringer off so he didn't hear they were calling him. When he turned the ringer on the cops got through and told him to come out of the house ... which he did.
Ultimately, the case will be referred to the L.A. County D.A., who will decide if the case will be dropped.

Bill Maher More 'Real Time' Racism? Makes Popeyes Joke to Black Politician
Bill Maher's at it again -- he made yet another joke on his show many people are calling racist ... but this time he said it right to a black congressman's face.
Bill was interviewing Rep. Will Hurd from Texas during the one-on-one segment of 'Real Time' Friday night when he challenged Hurd to explain why he's a member of the Republican Party ... especially since he came from the CIA.
Hurd replied, "I was in the CIA for almost a decade. I was the dude in the back alleys at 4 o’clock in the morning collecting intelligence on threats to the homeland," ... to which Maher commented, "That's where they'd collect them, huh?"
It got some laughs, but then Bill added ... "Wow, by the Popeyes chicken."
Neither the audience nor Hurd seemed to really react to the comment, but it's getting a lot of backlash online. Of course, this isn't a first for Maher -- in June 2017 he dropped the n-word on his show while making a joke ... and later apologized.
So far, no sorry from Bill for this joke.

'Fiji Water Girl' From Golden Globes Sues Fiji Water for Cardboard Cutouts

Exclusive Details
- 2.9K shares
3:04 PM PT -- A rep for FIJI tells TMZ, "This lawsuit is frivolous and entirely without merit. After the Golden Globes social media moment, we negotiated a generous agreement with Ms. Cuthbert that she blatantly violated. We are confident that we will prevail in court. Throughout our history, we have had a sterling reputation working with talent."
The viral sensation that was the "Fiji Water Girl" photobombing every celeb at the Golden Globes is back -- just not in the flesh ... which is why she's suing the water company.
Kelly Steinbach -- who goes by her modeling name, Kelleth Cutbert -- is suing Fiji Water over a cardboard cutout campaign that she says the company launched without her permission. Steinbach claims Fiji used her unauthorized image holding the tray of Fiji water bottles at the award show.
She says they tried coaxing her into signing away her rights, and even though she did a mock video that appeared to be doing just that ... Steinbach claims she never actually put ink to paper on a real deal. It was all for show. Nonetheless, she claims Fiji moved forward.
Steinbach says that cardboard cutouts of herself started to pop up all over L.A., and one of those is pictured in a photo with John Legend from earlier this month.
She says the "Fiji Water Girl" viral moment generated upwards of $12 million in brand exposure, and now she's asking a judge to give her a piece of the pie.

Kylie Jenner Dropped $10k on Postmates in a Year Here's What She Noshes
Kylie Jenner is just like you when it comes to grub on the go -- she orders from Postmates -- but, like, A LOT more than us ... as in $10k a year!!!
Kylie is set to be featured on Postmates' series The Receipt and, based on her order history ... KJ has crept up to be one of its top customers, especially early in the morning. Most of her orders were placed around 10 AM every other day for the past year, or so. We're told she placed 186 Postmates orders in 2018.
Her food runs ranged from a bottle of Don Julio Añejo 1942 Tequila to a lone carrot (more on that later).
Here are a few of Kylie's favorite places to order from:
-- Ralph's
-- Bristol Farms
-- Joey Woodland Hills
And, if you were curious about what she tends to order over and over, peep:
-- Cream cheese bagel (The Bagel Broker)
-- Matcha latte (Cha Cha Matcha)
-- Turkey breast and provolone sandwich (Jersey Mike's)
Apparently, Kylie also once ordered one single carrot from Bristol Farms, which she tells The Receipt she needed for some matzo ball soup.
Whatever she needs ... it sounds like Postmates has Kylie's back.

Joel Embiid Dwarfs Yasiel Puig ... In Beverly Hills Bro Down
How do you make a 6'2", 240-pound man look SMALL?
Stand him next to Joel Embiid ... because that's exactly what happened when Yasiel Puig ran into the 76ers star in Beverly Hills and TMZ Sports cameras caught the whole thing.
Embiid was eating a meal at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills when we got Puig walking up to him to say hi. But, it was when Embiid stood up to take a picture that the size became an issue.
To be fair to Puig, Embiid is 7'0" tall, so it would basically take Yao Ming to make him look small -- but still, it's pretty funny when you see the two guys next to each other.
BTW ... Puig's car is ridiculous ... and he showed it to the cameras after he was done making a new friend ... it's a Dodger blue Lambo, which now that he's been traded to Cincy, makes us all sad.
We're gonna miss you, Puig.

EXCLUSIVE

Geoffrey Owens says his redemption song came full circle Sunday night at the 25th SAG Awards ... but his comeback isn't even close to done yet.
The former 'Cosby Show' star was at LAX Monday after hitting the SAG ceremony where he was one of the actors who got a cameo in the broadcast's "I Am an Actor" intro. He also got a rousing response from his fellow union members.
We asked if he felt redeemed after a customer tried to publicly shame him for working at Trader Joe's a few months ago. It's a resounding yes from Geoff ... and he tells us exactly why.
He says the last few months have been a whirlwind of emotions and mostly a dream come true. He's gotten a lot of acting gigs and opportunities after the photo of him working the register at TJ's went viral.
Geoffrey tells us Hollywood's re-opened its doors for him, and he's eternally grateful to be working so consistently again. As to whether he signed on for any new projects while at the award show ... it sounds like he kept the wheeling and dealing to a minimum.
It might be better that way in the end, 'cause Geoffrey already has some auditions lined up this week. Side note: the dude's still got love for Trader Joe's, and a go-to product.
