Hook Ups

Justin Bieber was the one who pursued Selena Gomez, not vice versa, and it took some convincing on his part to prove to her reigniting the relationship would be a good thing.

Sources connected to both Justin and Selena tell TMZ, Selena's life-threatening medical emergency -- which ended successfully with a kidney transplant -- refocused Justin. As one source put it, Bieber didn't know how much she still meant to him until he realized she could die ... and that made all the difference.

Justin pursued Selena while she was still in a relationship with The Weeknd, although that relationship had been fizzling for months.

As TMZ reported, Selena's family was adamantly against her getting back with Justin, calling him "vile" and blaming him for Selena's severe bout of depression that landed her in rehab.

As one source put it, "Selena had to be won over." She had her doubts, but Justin was persuasive.

There have been some reports that Justin's relationship with Selena is rooted in music and not romance ... in other words, it's good business for the 2 of them to get together and collaborate on songs. Our sources says Justin and Selena are not collaborating in any way.

One thing's for sure ... they're full on back together.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber sealed the deal -- 'cause nothing screams we're back together like a chick happily slipping into her guy's sweaty jersey!

Selena was beaming on the ice as she watched Justin's hockey scrimmage Wednesday night in Los Angeles. While they haven't made any official announcement ... c'mon ... no woman's sitting through a guy's glorified practice, unless she's banging him.

Right afterward, the couple left the rink together -- Justin still sweatin' and Selena sporting a hoodie and the jersey.

They're in full-time inseparable mode now. Earlier in the day, they took a bike ride together too. Not to mention their day-into-night date on Sunday.

Next she'll be wearing his varsity jacket. Oh wait, Bieber probably didn't get one of those. Too busy making a gazillion bucks and stuff.

When Katharine McPhee likes what she sees, she grabs ahold -- and what's not to like about David Foster's ass at an ATM?

The actress/singer and the legendary producer/composer were out for what looks like a date night Sunday in Brentwood. Although they've repeatedly denied dating and claimed to just be friends, all the signs are there.

- Walking arm-in-arm? Check.
- Butt grab during a cash withdrawl? Check.
- Kiss on the cheek during a cash withdrawl? Soooo check.

Just a few months ago 68-year-old Foster was all over town with Christie Brinkley.

As they say in David's biz ... the hits keep coming.

Ewan McGregor reportedly split from his wife, Eve Mavrakis, as early as 5 months ago ... which became clear after he was seen sucking face with his TV co-star.

Ewan and Eve quietly separated back in May of this year, according to People ... but the news wouldn't have come out if it wasn't for pics taken of him kissing his "Fargo" co-star, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, at a London cafe over the weekend.

Ewan and Mary Elizabeth play love interests on the show ... looks like they took the romance off-camera too.

As for the now-exes, they've been married since 1995 ... and have 4 daughters together. We reached out to Ewan for further comment ... so far, no word back.

Scott Disick's moved on to his next fling, but he's keeping things consistent -- she's another hot young celeb still in her teens.

Scott and 19-year-old Sofia Richie chilled on the beach in Miami Thursday after arriving together earlier in the day for an apparent couples vacay. The 2 soaked up some sun ... and shared a kiss by their waterfront hotel.

We've seen them hanging out around L.A. for weeks now, but there's never been any PDA. These Miami pics make it clear Scott's found the perfect follow-up to also 19-year-old Bella Thorne -- who he was dating over the summer.

Well played, sir.

Leonardo DiCaprio leads a well-balanced life -- a date with one hot chick before dinner ... and a date with another hot chick for dinner and beyond.

Leo was spotted with rumored girlfriend Lorena Rae -- a 23-year-old German model -- in the early evening Wednesday walking around NYC's Brookfield Place shopping center. We're told the 2 parted ways around 8 PM and DiCaprio got on the phone ... to arrange date #2.

Within minutes, Leo once again hooked up with ex-gf, Toni Garrn -- a 25-year-old German model -- for dinner at the North End Grill. Their date wrapped up with a romantic bike ride to her place, we're told around 10 PM.

Leonardo DiCaprio's still holding on to old flames ... until he notices he's been spotted by the paps.

Leo was seen leaving 1 Oak in NYC early Saturday morning -- around 5 AM -- tightly holding hands with ex-gf and Victoria's Secret model Toni Garrn. We're told he arrived at the club earlier with a couple other gal pals, but left with Toni ... and a bodyguard.

We're told the 2 quickly separated once they saw their pic being taken ... but got back together later.

Leo and Toni starting dating back in 2013, but broke it off after about a year ... then she started dating NBA star Chandler Parsons. Garrn and Parsons split in November.

Nice rebound for Toni.

Kendall Jenner and Blake Griffin are playing it cool in the midst of an L.A. heatwave ... and also with what sure as hell looks like their new relationship.

For the third time in a week, Kendall and the hoops superstar hung out together -- this time they were beating the heat on the beach in Malibu. She was laughing and looked smitten, but still no PDA ... on camera, anyway.

Just like their other dates ... Blake and Kendall were with a group of friends. Neither's confirming they're a couple, but the "just hanging with our pals" cover only works for so long.

Something's cooking ... besides Blake's balls. Jeans on the beach in 90 degree temps, playa??!!

Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson hooked up again -- literally -- and DeMario said something during the encounter that registered in a big way on our BS detector.

The "Bachelor in Paradise" stars were leaving Nightingale Wednesday night in L.A. where Corinne and DeMario were ALL OVER each other. She hugged, climbed and kissed him.

Listen closely as DeMario says, "My PR is gonna hate this in the morning."

As you know ... Corinne claimed she had no recollection of a sexual encounter she had with DeMario during 'BiP' filming, and that triggered a sexual assault investigation. Warner Bros. concluded she was lucid the entire time.

The guy who played Dickon Tarly on "Game of Thrones" ain't bothered by Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen's incest in the finale ... 'cause it was inevitable.

We got Tom Hopper at LAX -- but before we got to Jon and Dany, we had to know ... why no shirtless scenes from his buff character before meeting his fate ... courtesy of dragon's breath.

Tom has an explanation for that, and also some thoughts on why the King of the North and the Dragon Queen hooking up isn't that big of a deal ... even if she's his aunt.

His theory has more to do with the plot leading up to that big reveal, but still ... Tom seems down.

Corinne Olympios finally spoke out about her "Bachelor in Paradise" scandal with DeMario Jackson, and wanted it known ... he did nothing wrong.

Corinne sat down with Chris Harrison on Tuesday's 'BiP' tell-all episode and confirmed TMZ's story -- she mixed meds with booze and suffered a hard blackout when she hooked up with DeMario.

Chris also confirmed our reporting about Corinne appearing very with it during the ordeal that eventually shut down production-- so much so producers thought she was fine.

The bigger takeaway ... Corinne officially exonerated DeMario of any wrongdoing and said there's no ill will on her end. She also said she never blamed him for anything.

Tommy Lee won't be busted for possibly busting with his girlfriend in an American Airlines bathroom, because what the 2 did inside is nobody's business but theirs ... TMZ has learned.

Our American Airlines sources tell us ... there were no complaints filed with the company about Tommy and his gf Brittany Furlan joining the mile high club. We're told it's NOT against policy for 2 people to use the same lavatory at the same time ... and what they do in there is private.

Our sources say typically, when 2 people use the same bathroom, it's the elderly or someone who needs medical assistance ... but Tommy and Brittany both appeared to be in good health.

The rocker and his gf didn't create a disturbance on the short flight from Nassau to Miami, so we're told Tommy's off the hook -- he won't face a ban.

We reached out to a rep for American Airlines ... the company officially has no comment on this matter.

What's funny, though -- even though AA seems to be cool with Tommy and Brittany's hookup, she's not happy with them ... because she claims the airline lost their luggage.

Tommy Lee can vouch for American Airlines, because he definitely got something special in the air.

The Motley Crue drummer and Brittany Furlan had one last hurrah as they left Nassau by slinking into the first class bathroom of an AA jet, and lingering for a long, long time ... passengers say at least 20 minutes.

The passengers were pissed off, but there was clearly no pissing in the lavatory ... just a little turbulence.

They tried to make a discreet exit, with Tommy walking out first and Brittany lingering inside for around 25 seconds before emerging with a s***-eating grin.

Here's what makes it even better. The flight to Miami took a grand total of 65 minutes.

The remaining cast of "Bachelor in Paradise" made it clear whose side they're on after the hookup between Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson that shut down production ... and it ain't really hers.

Chris Harrison had a sit-down with the rest of the cast members on part 2 of the "BiP" premiere Tuesday night, and after a lot of beating around the bush, Taylor Nolan finally spat it out ... everyone there is responsible for themselves and how much they drink.

Most of 'em seemed to piggy-back on the sentiment, which was clearly aimed at Corinne -- who, as we reported, blacked out in a hookup with DeMario and felt she lost the ability to consent. She later went on to call herself a victim in the ordeal.

The cast also made it clear that the backlash DeMario caught during the controversy was in part due to him being a black man ... and Corinne being a white woman.

While some cast members did defend Corinne for the slut shaming she experienced, the bigger takeaway here from these folks is ... poor DeMario.

Corinne Olympios looked more than willing and fully conscious when she led DeMario Jackson into a pool as they started to hookup while shooting "Bachelor in Paradise."

A scene that appears to be part of the controversial incident -- where Corinne essentially claimed sexual assault because she says she was not conscious -- was teased Monday night during the 'Bachelorette' finale. It shows Corinne leading DeMario into the pool in the daylight, with some of her fellow cast members close by ... and cameras rolling.

It seems Corinne's speaking coherently and looks very with it ... much like we reported. It's unclear, though, how much time passed between this pool scene and the alleged sexual misconduct. Her legal team says the footage that alarmed a 'BiP' producer -- which eventually shut down production -- took place in a hot tub, not the pool.

We've confirmed that's accurate, and Warner Bros. says that hot tub footage will not be aired.

Liam Hemsworth and Rebel Wilson's makeout sesh got sloppy ... even in a tux and gown.

Liam and Rebel were on the set of "Isn't it Romantic" in NYC ... making out for a scene under drenching rain and a green screen as their backdrop. It's unclear what the green screen was needed for ... but the flick's about a woman who mysteriously gets sucked into a romantic comedy. So, use your imagination.

Rain, rain go away? Not if you're in a movie.
