Playboy Model Katie May Estate Sues Chiropractor ... Your Treatment Killed Her
Playboy model Katie May literally died at the hands of a chiropractor who had no idea what the hell he was doing and suspiciously tried to hide it ... so claims her estate in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Alex Maimon -- the executor of Katie's estate and father of their 8-year-old daughter, Mia Eden -- is suing Dr. Eric Marc Swartz. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Maimon says a reasonable chiropractor would never have given Katie the "aggressive neck adjustment" that ultimately caused her death in February 2016.
Ronald Richards, the estate's lawyer, says Swartz should have sent Katie to the hospital for a CT scan instead of treating her ... given the severity of a neck injury she'd suffered during a photo shoot.
TMZ broke the story ... the coroner determined Katie's cause of death stemmed from a chiropractor's adjustment -- a blunt force injury tore her left vertebral artery, and cut off blood flow to her brain.
According to the suit, Swartz wrote Katie's patient report 4 days after she died. Her estate thinks it's fishy he didn't write it immediately, and ... "it begs the question whether Swartz went back to change his report after he was notified May was hospitalized and died because of his treatment."
Katie's estate is suing for malpractice and negligence ... as well as wrongful death.
We've reached out to Swartz's office, but so far no word back.

Gisele 'Taxi' Getaway Car Owner Wants It In Museum After It Saved His Life
Gisele Bundchen's baller ride from her co-starring role in the 2004 movie, "Taxi," has a shot at history after saving its owner's life ... at least that's what the owner wants to see happen.
Gisele made her acting debut as a bank robber -- opposite Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah -- and drove a bad ass 2003 BMW 760 Li for the role. 10 years later, Zach Schwatz from NY bought the whip for $14,500 from a production staffer. He got it with a new white paint job.
Cut to last week, when Zach crashed his prized beamer into a tree. He suffered 2 broken feet and banged his head around, but believes it would've been way worse in a lesser ride. He's expected to make a full recovery, but the car's dunzo.
Zach wants his baby to be preserved in the Museum of the Moving Image -- instead of ending up on a scrap heap. He's contacted the museum about making the donation, but hasn't heard back yet.
Maybe they saw the movie. Just sayin' ...

Ryan Seacrest seems like a man headed for a church, because he's in a relationship ... hook, line and sinker.
Seacrest and GF, Shayna Taylor, were showing full-blown PDA poolside in Miami Saturday, and it's apparent why she floats in his boat.
Shayna and Ryan broke up a while back but got together again,and are now living together in New York ... where he moved to do "Live" with Kelly Ripa.
We're smelling a joint tax return in the not too distant future.
Hailey Baldwin Bikini Sunbathing ... With NBA Star
NBA star Chandler Parsons continues to surround himself with some of the hottest women in Hollywood -- this time, he was out sunbathing in L.A. with model Hailey Baldwin.
The two caught some rays at the pool at the Montage in Beverly Hills -- and we're told the poolside tourists couldn't take their eyes off 'em ... probably due to the fact he's 6'10" and she looks insane in a bikini.
So, let's get to the point -- are they banging? Our sources say no -- they're just good friends who've known each other for a while and hang out when they're in the same city.
Too bad ... for both of 'em.

Model Izabel Goulart Thongs Out on Yacht ... w/ Soccer Star BF
Here's something for everyone ... a smokin' hot model in a bikini with her equally attractive soccer star boyfriend on a baller yacht in Spain.
The model is Izabel Goulart -- an international fashion model who famously worked with Victoria's Secret.
Her boyfriend is Kevin Trapp -- a German soccer star who plays for Paris Saint-Germain.
The two just took a trip to Cannes for the big film festival -- and apparently needed to blow off some steam with a yacht vacation off the coast of Ibiza.
Goulart even busted out some yoga for good measure.
Namaste.

Scott Disick Flirty with 18-Year-Old Sofia ... Whatever Floats His Boat
1:14 PM PT -- Sofia has some choice words for folks making a big fuss about her hanging out with Scott Disick. In her own unique way, she says they're just "homies."
Just so everyone can get their panties out of their asses, Scott and I are just homies #relax
@sofiarichie
Scott Disick may have decided Bella Thorne was actually too old, because now he's hanging with an 18-year-old.
Scott was cruisin' the South of France on a yacht with Sofia Richie this weekend. They were super flirty, as he lifted and carted her around.
Scott brought 19-year-old Bella over to the Cannes Film Festival last week, where we believe he hasn't watched a single flick. She's back in L.A. now, and he's on at least his 4th chick.
BTW, it looks like one of the other women on the yacht is Chloe Bartoli ... one of the 4.

Miranda Kerr Sings Karaoke at Wedding ... You're Still the One, Evan!
Miranda Kerr wanted to do more than tell Evan Spiegel on their wedding day that he was the one ... she wanted to sing it.
We were there Saturday when the supermodel and the billionaire tied the knot at their Brentwood home ... well, we were outside. And truth be told ... we couldn't see much, but we did hear Miranda karaoke a somewhat shaky version of Shania Twain's "You're Still the One."
As we reported, the wedding was super secret. Guests were shuttled up to the house from a secret location ... but it sounds like a good time was had by all.

Playboy's Shannon Twins Knock Each Other Silly in Brawl ... Double BUSTED by Cops
Playboy twins Kristina and Karissa Shannon -- 2 of Hugh Hefner's former 'Girls Next Door' hotties -- were arrested after they allegedly busted each other up.
Law enforcement sources tell us police were summoned to the Shannon twins' WeHo home Wednesday morning around 3:30 AM.
Cops say Kristina and Karissa had gotten into a violent brawl after a night of drinking. We're told Kristina punched Karissa in the face, and Karissa picked up an ADT security monitor and threw it at her sister ... knocking out teeth.
The twins were arrested for domestic violence on the spot, since they both had visible injuries.
Karissa was booked for felony domestic violence, and Kristina for misdemeanor domestic violence. As for the difference ... Kristina's injuries were way more serious.
Seems like they oughta live up to their TV titles and get their own places.

Miranda Kerr, Evan Spiegel Richer than S*** But We're Cool with Backyard Wedding
Miranda Kerr and Snapchat co-founder Evan Spiegel are together worth around $5 billion, but there's no need to blow a bunch of loot on an exotic destination wedding when a backyard affair will do the trick.
We've learned the couple will tie the knot Saturday in the backyard of their Brentwood home. The trucks are already showing up and the backyard is a buzz of activity.
Miranda's cool as a supermodel ... no last-minute jitters. In fact, she was even out Friday grabbing a cone with her grandparents in her Brentwood hood.
Congrats!

Bella Hadid Nearly Naked 'Cause She Cannes
Bella Hadid hit up a huge Cannes fundraiser in an outfit that definitely raised ... spirits. And other stuff, we're sure.
Bella and her beaded, see-through gown made a ridiculously head-turning entrance -- and exit, no doubt -- at the annual amfAR Gala. It's like the biggest who's who event every year in Cannes ... but the lady knows how to stand out in a crowd.
As for Bella's mystery admirer -- it's not polite to stare.
But we can't blame ya.
Elsa Hosk Blending In
If Elsa Hosk thought she could blend in with her surroundings by matching the colors of a fancy French pool deck ... well, she was sadly mistaken.
The Victoria's Secret Angel was seen taking in the sights -- and providing some, too -- at the Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc Hotel in Antibes, France Wednesday ... where her bikini and the deck she was on were almost one and the same.
Keyword ... almost.
Fortunately, she's way too hot to camouflage in the background here, especially when she steps away. Cool off with Elsa on the rocks.

Emily Ratajkowski Cannes Do No Wrong in This Bikini
Emily Ratajkowski is in the South of France with a ton of other celebs this week for the Cannes Film Festival, but she's already stealing the show.
Emily took a dip Wednesday in a bikini that looked like it crept up onto her body and wrapped itself around her ... because what bikini wouldn't want to do that?
She's staying at the hoity-toity Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes where the pool hovers right over the Mediterranean, so the views are epic ... especially when Emily's getting out of the pool.

Kendall Jenner Eats Dirt After Falling off Bike!!!
Don't tell Kendall Jenner anything is just like riding a bike, 'cause she's got issues there ... based on this near face-planting wipeout.
The model was decked out in a hot pink coat and cruising along until she tried coming to a stop on the bicycle. Keyword: TRIED.
Instead of using the brakes, looks like she tried to do it 'Flintstones' style ... with her feet. The outcome will add a little joy to your day. Looks like there was a camera guy -- probably for 'KUWTK' -- getting all the action ... hopefully in super slo-mo.
Khloe posted the vid with the caption, "My work here is done."
Ditto.

'Big Little Lies' Twins Score Modeling Gig ... TV Wardrobe Pays Off Big Time
Two of the youngest stars of "Big Little Lies" are still riding the HBO miniseries' wave of success ... and they have the show's stylist to thank for their latest gig.
Twins Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti just wrapped their debut modeling campaign for Ralph Lauren. We're told they shot last week in L.A. and this week in NYC, and we can expect to see their work in the winter.
Sources close to the bros tell us ... a Ralph Lauren honcho was a fan of the show and took notice of their wardrobe -- the boys were always decked out in RL. We're told it was just a coincidence -- not a pre-arranged deal with HBO. The RL exec just like how the kids rocked their clothes.
Our sources say Cam and Nic enjoyed being first-time models and want to do it again ... along with acting. Good to have options at 9.

Priyanka Chopra Adriana's Bikini Bod Is Soo My Jam
Now we know Priyanka Chopra is the super affectionate type when she's around her BFF, Adriana Lima, on the beach ... and ya can't blame her!
The gorgeous "Quantico" star couldn't keep her hands off the Brazilian supermodel during some serious gal paling Friday on Miami's South Beach. Adriana flaunted her tiny black string bikini, while Priyanka covered up a little more.
Still, she couldn't resist getting all over Adriana while they frolicked -- 'cause that's what smoking hot girlfriends in swimwear do.
Or so we've always imagined.
