Hook Ups

When the dots get connected ... it seems like Ben Simmons is in Kendall Jenner's rear view and she's fully hooked up with Anwar Hadid.

Kendall and Anwar showed up in Malibu. There are no shots of them together, but they were both at the Malibu Chili Cook-Off on Friday and at Nobu Sunday night, where the pics were taken.

We haven't seen Kendall and Ben together in several weeks.

You'll recall back in June Kendall and Anwar were seen making out at the CFDA Awards after-party at Socialista nightclub in New York City. The pic is especially interesting because Kendall almost never shows PDA. She later said they were just friends ... but the image tells a different story.

9:25 AM PT -- Drake just followed Kim on Instagram.

8:06 AM PT -- Kim just put the rumor to rest herself, commenting, "Never happened. End of story." on a social media post about the theory with Drake.

Kim Kardashian never hooked up with Drake, despite what Drizzy seems to be insinuating in his new song ... sources very close to Kim tell TMZ.

Drake definitely started the rumor with his song, "In My Feelings" where he refers to Kiki. That's her family nickname, and also the color of one of her KKW Beauty lipsticks.

The other clue people on social media are using to connect the dots is from Drake's collab with Kylie's baby daddy Travis Scott -- "Sicko Mode." Drake's home is pretty close to Kim's and the lyric goes ... "I crept down the block, made a right, cut the lights, paid the price."

We're told the two do have some mutual friends and are cordial when they have run into each other at events in the past, but they've never had a personal friendship or relationship.

As for the hooking up thing, our Kim sources say it's all BS ... that she's never slept with Drake. Didn't happen while she was married and didn't happen before.

Kirstie Alley opened up about her love life ... and she's got some big-name celebrities in her fantasies.

Kirstie revealed on "Celebrity Big Brother" over in the UK she wanted to run off and marry John Travolta ... AND have an affair with Patrick Swayze!!!

Get it, girl!!!

The actress was asked by another housemate if she ever had an affair with a celebrity ... she says she never consummated one, but cops to kissing Swayze and then dives into her crush on Travolta.

Kirstie and Swayze starred on the 1985 TV series "North and South." She was married to actor Parker Stevenson at the time, so she didn't go all the way with Swayze ... 'cause she's a good girl who values fidelity.

Of course, Kirstie said it's REALLY hard not to fall in love with a costar ... and, let's be real, Swayze was a dreamboat.

As for Travolta, Kirstie says they almost ran off together ... and she's still IN LOVE with John. Kirstie believes they would have gotten hitched if she wasn't already taken. They starred in "Look Who's Talking" together in 1989.

Kirstie divorced Parker in 1997 ... Travolta's been married to Kelly Preston since '91.

Ray J says the reason his beanie seemed to have a mind of its own this week on 'Love & Hip Hop' has more to do with Hollywood magic than any real hat trick.

Ray broke down the 50 seconds of the episode everyone's talking about -- not for anything he or Safaree Samuels said, but because Ray's hat seemed to have a mind of its own!! In the brief scene, the knitted hat was in at least 6 different positions.

Fans of the show noticed, then made sure the Internet noticed. Viral video and meme hilarity ensued.

Ray gently put the blame on editing, as he revealed exactly how long they were actually shooting the scene. Hint: It's MUCH longer than what you saw on VH1 or the web.

Considering the hat has stolen the spotlight, Ray tells us it could be getting a bigger role in upcoming episodes. As he puts it ... the hat's in negotiations.

If Faith Evans knows one thing about Stevie J it's that he's good -- really, really good -- at making babies, and the newlyweds definitely have baby fever.

We got Faith and Stevie talking for the first time about their surprise Las Vegas wedding. They insist the hookup is NOT a publicity stunt, and explained why they decided to go all the way.

The R&B duo's heard some of the negative reaction to their marriage, but say they're ignoring all the haters. As we reported, some family members are pissed they didn't get a heads-up.

They got really excited though when we asked if they plan to have babies. You gotta see Faith declare her baby factory is open for biz.

As she put it, we all know Stevie can make it happen ... with 6 kids of his own already.

Blac Chyna is dating another teenager -- pro boxer Devin Haney -- and has been banging him for a good while now ... which might be a surprise to YBN Almighty Jay.

Sources close to the 19-year-old athlete tell us he first hooked up with Chyna 2 to 3 months ago, hitting her up on IG after learning they had the same lawyer. We're told Chyna was into him ... and started seeing him regularly soon after.

Chyna isn't dating Devin for any type of "clout" -- as many have speculated online after she tagged him in a photo and said "Hi babe" on IG. On the contrary, we're told BC simply likes the dude. He's successful, mature for his age ... and ain't bad looking either.

As for the messy timeline on how long Chyna's been with Devin, it's clear she was seeing him while dating her ex, Jay, while he himself was pursuing different women ... and allegedly knocking up at least one while linked to BC. The pair officially broke up last month.

All's fair in love and DM slidin'.

Jesse Williams and sports journalist Taylor Rooks are trying to keep their relationship low-key, but did a terrible job of it Tuesday night as they slipped out of a strip club together!

The "Grey's Anatomy" star and 26-year-old SportsNet New York reporter -- who's made her name landing interviews with huge athletes -- started the night with dinner in Bev Hills at Matsuhisa, before hitting up Crazy Girls in Hollywood.

They did that thing where they walked out the door separately -- around 3 AM, btw -- but ultimately got in the same ride.

Pretty splashy public debut for the couple ... who've been rumored to be together for about a month now.

Our sources say Jesse's finally enjoying the single life -- despite the fact he's now paying just over $100k per month in child and spousal support to his ex-wife, Aryn Drake-Lee.

We're told Jesse's just focused on being happy. We're guessing Taylor will help him achieve that goal.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin reunion is now complete after an intense make out session in a Brooklyn park ... which looks like it's straight out of a Nicholas Sparks movie.

Biebs and the Baldwin were overlooking the NYC's East River on Saturday while their lips got totally reacquainted up against a railing. After the PDA in BK's Domino Park they didn't exactly come up for air. They crossed the river into lower Manhattan in the evening, and kissed some more in Rockefeller Park.

All this romance tops off more than a week of non-stop contact between the former exes.

The couple spent all last weekend together in Miami, before jetting off to NYC ... where Justin's been in a ridiculously great mood.

Heidi Klum, her kids and her guy all hit Disneyland, and it's a toss up as to who had more fun -- although we're giving bf Tom Kaulitz the early lead.

The German super couple -- Tom's the guitarist for Tokio Hotel -- was all over each other Saturday in Anaheim. She even got Tom to slip on a pair of polka-dotted Minnie Mouse ears while they strolled around. The things we do for love, right?

Heidi's kids already look totally comfortable with Mom's new dude -- they were all smiling with him on Splash Mountain and several other rides. One small crisis, though ...

Looks like Heidi got a little something on her lips at one point. Luckily, Tommy-on-the-spot was there to handle the situation.

Whatever Nick Jonas has going with Priyanka Chopra appears to be the real deal, because she was his date for a wedding, and not just any wedding -- it was a family affair.

The youngest JoBro and Priyanka were arm-in-arm at his cousin's wedding near Atlantic City over the weekend. She was draped in a gold dress, and Nick was suited and booted ... but no socks with his white sneakers. So chic.

While they haven't made any official announcement ... all the "new couple" signs are there. They even traveled together for the wedding -- we got shots of them arriving at JFK airport.

We're told Nick introduced Priyanka to his older brother, Kevin, and his wife, Danielle. Yeah, ya know it's beyond just banging when family meet-and-greets are going down.

Alexander Ovechkin wishes he knew how to quit Lord Stanley can't quit -- but he just can't, and now his wife knows it, too.

The Washington Capitals superstar took the Stanley Cup to bed with him, 2 nights after his team secured the trophy. Ovechkin's wife, Anastasia Shubskaya, shot video of her husband cozying up to his new love ... just days after Anastasia and Alex announced she's expecting their first kid.

Let's hope Alex used protection with Stanley, who, as we've learned over the years ... definitely gets around.

The couple -- Alex and the Cup, that is -- had a very busy Saturday around the DC area.

They were at the Washington Nationals game, where Ovechkin threw out the first pitch, and then later he was seen doing modified keg stands ... drinking beer out of the Cup.

1:58 PM PT -- Turns out Blake's mystery blonde is none other than Francesca Aiello -- the owner of Frankies Bikinis. Good choice.

Even in the off-season, Blake Griffin's rebound skills are on point -- just ask the blonde chick he was sucking face with in his Land Rover.

The NBA star and his mystery woman are definitely living on the edge. Saturday's date night included riding around on Bird scooters in L.A. ... which, considering Blake's history of injuries, might not have been the smartest option.

A better, safer idea? Sitting in Blake's whip and making out ... which they also did.

No clue yet who the lucky lady is, but she's the first woman he's been spotted with since he and Kendall Jenner broke things off.

1:40 PM PT 6/6 -- Our sources say the two aren't dating or anything serious ... they were just having some fun while out with friends. We're told there's no bad blood with Kendall, Bella and Gigi.

Kendall Jenner is living her best (single) life -- kickin' it with NBA star Ben Simmons one day ... and locking lips with Gigi and Bella Hadid's brother the next.

Kendall was spotted smack-dab in the middle of a heavy makeout sesh early Tuesday morning with Anwar Hadid at a CFDA Awards after-party in NYC. You can tell it's him from the bleach blonde hair he was sporting at the event. Plus, Kendall took a photo of his tattooed hands herself.

Eyewitnesses tell us Kendall was hangin' with Anwar at Socialista New York for about 2 hours -- kissing, cuddling and drinking with the youngest Hadid sibling the whole time. She ended up heading back to her hotel by herself around 4 AM or so ... no Anwar in sight.

Remember, Kendall was on a bike riding date with her rumored new flame, Ben, the day before in L.A. They've been hanging together a lot lately ... post-Blake Griffin. As for Anwar, we're told he and his gf split last month.

And, get this ... nearly two years ago, Kendall posted a pic with Hadid -- when he was just 17 and Kendall was 20 -- and the caption, "dibs?"

Scott Disick has been tamed by a woman close to half his age.

Scott turned 35 Saturday and he spent it with 19-year-old gf Sofia Richie on St. Barts. For her part, Sofia is in hook, line and sinker, telling the world, "Happy Birthday babe! Thank you for being you. Love you."

The 2 have been together now for a year and word is they've gotten super serious.

It also looks like Scott and Kourtney Kardashian have made peace ... if only for the sake of their 3 kids.

Scott has a pilot in the works where he's flipping houses in the L.A. area with super realtor Tomer Fridman ... and guess who's behind the project? If you guessed Kris Jenner you would be correct!

Coachella is reviving an almost forgotten talent of Leonardo DiCaprio -- being able to mix former and potential current lovers alike in the same backyard ... just ask Rihanna.

Leo was seen hanging out under a cabana at RiRi's FentyxPuma Coachella party Saturday with 20-year-old Argentinian model Camila Morrone clinging to his neck in an affectionate manner. Leo and Camila have been rumored to be an item since at least December.

Rihanna was there, too, obviously ... making quite the entrance in her smokin' hot pink bodysuit. All we can say ... good Lordy ... we see you, girl!

Here's why their mutual company matters -- in case you don't remember, Leo and RiRi used to be a thing, if only for a short time. As we reported ... they were banging back in 2015 after getting hot and heavy at a Playboy Mansion party that January.

Eyewitnesses tell us Rihanna and Leo did, in fact, talk at her shindig -- but it was brief, and appeared to be mere pleasantries. Luckily for Leo, he's handled a very similar situation with his old flame before ... being under the same roof with her and then-GF Nina Agdal.

The Weeknd appears to be swooping in on more of Justin Bieber's leftovers at Coachella -- this time getting cozy with Chantel Jeffries.

Abel was spotted Saturday night at Day 2 of the festival with his arm around Chantel, as they strolled around the closed-off VIP area ... drinks in hand, and all smiles. They were also seen hugging at one point, and she even leaned her head on his shoulder.

We've been down this road before -- as you might recall, Weeknd dated Selena Gomez for the better part of 2017, and they had themselves a PDA-filled Coachella last spring as well.
