Bad Bunny, Kendall Jenner Leave Oscars After-Party Together ... The Courtship Continues

Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are still going strong ... rolling their now-confirmed romance into one of the biggest nights in Hollywood, and once again telegraphing they're a legit couple.

The supermodel and Latin pop star were on the list for Jay-Z and Beyonce's Oscars after-party Sunday in L.A., and while it's unclear if they showed up as a unit ... they certainly left as one, getting into the same car at the end of the night.

Check it out for yourself ... the new couple slipped into the same waiting town car. They still managed to dodge photogs trying to get them in the same frame. Clearly, they're still trying to keep it on the DL, but failing more with each date night.

Kendall was covering her face as they drove off ... BB seemed a little more casual about it all. Fact is, we've seen them together already, and everyone knows what's going on.

Remember, we just saw Kendall and Bunny on a group date last week ... where they hit up a celeb hot spot in West Hollywood. They were caught on camera embracing each other as everyone parted ways.

Anyway, just further proof these 2 are the real deal and currently seeing each other ... on a somewhat serious level, at the very least.

Oh, and take a gander at all the other celebs who were at Bey and Jay's blowout. We'd say it's a who's-who -- but, frankly, the pie was split pretty evenly throughout the weekend. With that said, there was some talent on hand ... Bieber, RiRi, Tyler, just to name a few.

Stars everywhere you look ... that's Oscars weekend, baby!

Vanity Fair, Elton John Star-Studded Oscars After-Parties ... 'Erbody Else Not At Show

Just about everyone in Hollywood was at the Oscars on Sunday, and just about everyone else was at one of these two after-parties ... courtesy of Elton John and Vanity Fair.

These were the biggest shindigs in town post-award show -- and as you see, they were absolutely packed with star power. Not just actors, BTW, but musicians, comedians, models and socialites were dressed in their best getups.

Check out who showed up where ... over at the VF bash in Bev Hills, we saw faces like Jessica Alba, Jennifer Coolidge, Donald Glover, Trevor Noah, Naomi Watts, Tracee Ellis Ross, Dwyane Wade, Gabrielle Union, Michael Keaton, Queen Latifah, Olivia Wilde, Sarah Paulson, John Legend, Chrissy Teigen ... and even 2 politicos, Nancy Pelosi and Monica Lewinsky.

Meanwhile, out in WeHo, the Rocket Man himself was hosting an Oscars viewing party through his AIDS foundation ... and that, too, was flowing with glamorous A-listers.

Elton was able to get a solid crowd together himself ... people who swung by include Heidi Klum, Kathy Hilton, Christina Hendricks, Tiffany Haddish, Brooke Shields, Patricia Arquette, Smokey Robinson, Zooey Deschanel, Hilary Duff, Emma Watson and many more.

Of course, everyone there was also dressed to impress ... rocking gowns, suits, tuxes and everything fancy in between. Elton himself was in his traditional heart-shaped shades.

It's just the cherry on top for a pretty great night all around ... everybody seemed to be on their best behavior and was certainly having a ball as they celebrated filmmaking.

Like we told you, all the nominees were in quite the touchy-feely mood behind the scenes at the Dolby Theater itself -- but in a good and respectful way ... meaning, they were just bringing it in for hugs and kisses as they congratulated each other. No slaps or swings.

And, naturally, every person that made their big entrance in front of the cameras was also in their best Sunday 'fits ... with most everybody rocking fairly traditional, elegant outfits.

Not only were the nominees looking pristine ... but so were the presenters, all 40+ of 'em.

As for the highlights of the actual broadcast itself ... well, there were a lot. Ke Huy Quan (the kid from "The Goonies" and 'Temple of Doom') won an Oscar, as did Jamie Lee Curtis and Michelle Yeoh ... as did Brendan Fraser. They took home the top acting honors of the night.

Speaking of "Everything Everywhere All at Once," that movie swept just about every major category it was nominated in ... including Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Director(s) and Best Picture

Bust out the googly eyes ...  'cause 'EEAAO' is the champ, y'all. Well deserved, too!

Cara Delevingne Opens Up About Substance Abuse ... Disturbing Pics Pushed Her to Get Help

Cara Delevingne is finally speaking out about her struggles with substance abuse ... something she claims she's battling with the help of a support group.

The actress is on the April cover of Vogue and in an interview with the magazine says her world practically came crumbling down in the midst of the pandemic and her 30th.

She says she'd even lock herself in her house before realizing she desperately needed some help.

Cara explains the true wake-up call was pictures taken last year, showing her looking really bent out of shape. She says, "Sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way, those pictures were something to be grateful for."

Cara says she reached out to some of her closest friends in September after that -- with them coming over, crying, and telling her "You deserve a chance to have joy."

As we reported, Margot Robbie was spotted visibly distraught while leaving Cara's home the same month, although it's unclear if this was the same meeting.

Soon after her group discussion, Cara says she entered rehab and the 12-step program ... adding "This process obviously has its ups and downs, but I've started realizing so much."

Dwyane Wade's Daughter Zaya Makes Runway Debut In Paris ... Dad Sheds A Tear!!!

HITTIN' THE RUNWAY
Instagram / @thomaschristos

Dwyane Wade's daughter, Zaya, made her runway debut in Paris on Tuesday -- crushing it in a green wool ensemble -- and Dad couldn't have been prouder, cheesin' on the sidelines ... and even shedding a tear!!!

The 15-year-old hit the catwalk at Miu Miu's Paris Fashion Week show ... and looked as cool as ever -- while struttin' in a jacket, skirt and brown high-heeled shoes.

Wade, alongside Gabrielle Union, had a front-row seat for it all ... and check out video posted to Instagram by Zaya's stylist -- the Miami Heat legend looked like he had just won another NBA championship.

Wade said on his social media page he was "proud" of it all -- while adding, "I'm not crying, you're crying."

030723_zaya_wade_hug_kal
LOTS OF LOVE

The entire time that he watched Zaya go to work, the 41-year-old was seen grinning ear-to-ear ... and afterward, he gave her a big hug and words of encouragement.

He also took to his Twitter page to share a photo of the fam at the event ... writing in the caption, "Just an icon living. Zaya’s @MIUMIUofficial debut."

Zaya has been an up-and-comer in the fashion world for a few years now -- scoring modeling gigs here and there -- but if Tuesday was any indication of her potential ... she's well on her way to being a mainstay at big shows for years to come.

Victoria's Secret Iconic Fashion Show Returning ... But Gonna Be a Lil' Different

Victoria's Secret hasn't hosted its annual fashion show in years, but it's coming back soon ... except now -- brace yourselves, cancel culture vultures -- it might return in a "woke" form.

Indeed ... the news came down Friday in an earnings call for the company, where CFO Timothy Johnson announced VS was bringing back their Angels to hit the runaway again -- this after a 4-year hiatus -- only this time around, the look and feel will be different.

Johnson is quoted as saying, "We're going to continue to lean into the marketing spend to invest in the business, both at top-of-funnel and also to support the new version of our fashion show, which is to come later this year."

The company further said their new "brand projection and mission" will be their guiding light -- although it's unclear what exactly that is. VS adds, "This will lead us into new spaces like reclaiming one of our best marketing and entertainment properties to date and turning it on its head to reflect who we are today. We're excited to share more later this year."

Considering Victoria's Secret has been mired in controversies for the past few years -- with everything from alleged toxic, misogynistic work environments being fostered to execs being tied to Jeffrey Epstein and a general convo about modern beauty standards -- it's probably a safe bet to assume that Victoria's Secret is aiming to be more inclusive going forward.

We've already seen VS change up the types of women they employ as models ... they've brought on transgender women and even women with disabilities onto the roster. With that said, it's not quite clear what folks can expect to see on the runway from here on out.

While it remains to be seen when this is all gonna roll out, it seems the days of old are done. The 2017 and 2018 VS fashion shows can be seen here ... where the ladies are adorned in the traditional bra/panties/wings getups. That might be getting scrapped too.

If that comes to pass -- namely, losing the scantily-clad outfits -- it'll be interesting to see how VS finds the right balance in representing their models ... and more importantly, their products. Fact is, they're a lingerie company ... and they gotta move merchandise somehow.

Of course, we are living in a time of body positivity and all ... so maybe they'll just trot people across the stage from all walks of life and continue to bare it all. Time will tell.

Anyhoo, old VS was fun while it lasted -- and certainly introduced us to some mega stars who, hopefully, stand the test of time. In any case, sentiments are a-changing, folks.

Oscar Pistorius Up For Parole ... Early Release From Prison Coming???

Oscar Pistorius could be released from prison at the end of this month ... the ex-Olympic sprinter is now up for parole in South Africa -- 10 years after he killed his girlfriend.

A hearing will go down on March 31, according to Pistorius' attorney, Julian Knight ... who added that if parole is granted during the proceedings, the convicted killer could be out from behind bars that same day.

Pistorius has completed more than half of the 13-year, 5-month sentence that he was given for shooting and killing 29-year-old Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day in Feb. 2013.

You'll recall, Pistorius, a double-amputee nicknamed "Blade Runner," admitted to shooting her in his South African home -- though he claimed it wasn't on purpose ... saying he thought she was an intruder. He was eventually convicted of manslaughter, which was later upgraded to murder.

According to The Independent, Steenkamp's family is against Pistorius' early release ... though South African law will allow Pistorius to seek it nonetheless, as offenders in the country can apply for parole once they've served at least half of their sentences.

Pistorius' lawyer said if parole is denied at the hearing, they will appeal.

Michael B. Jordan Teams with Calvin Klein (Finally) ... For Underwear Campaign

Michael B. Jordan has done the inevitable -- linking up with Calvin Klein for a good old-fashioned underwear campaign, and all we can say ... yeah, it's about time.

The actor is the new face of the famed clothing brand's Spring 2023 collection, posing for a series of photos where he's stripped down to nothing but a pair of boxer-briefs (in a variety of colors, it seems) ... and looking chiseled in all black and white, a classic CK aesthetic.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As you can see, MBJ is in great shape (per usual) ... and the timing of this is actually perfect -- right ahead of his third "Creed" movie, where he's also bulked up and shirtless a lot.

Like we said, this was probably a long time coming ... and, frankly, we're surprised the collab didn't happen sooner. Mike's been a Hollywood hunk for years now -- and Calvin's always flocking to the latest hot body in town for a photo shoot.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Here's the thing, though ... as good-looking as Michael certainly is, he might not actually be the best new thing (eye candy-wise) around anymore. His boxing costar, Jonathan Majors, is taking the town by storm lately in equally steamy shots -- and the dude is blowing up.

JM is the face of a lot of campaigns these days ... often in as little clothes as possible. Makes sense -- his physique is top-notch (body-builder status, actually) -- and it seems movie studio execs can't get enough of him. Jon's been cast in a lot these past few years.

The good news for everyone else is that you can catch these two lookers on the big screen soon -- their film is hitting theaters this weekend .... so it's all Jordan and Majors, all day.

Erika Jayne Chrissy Teigen Doesn't Need Us ... But She'd Be an Amazing 'Housewife'

INTERESTING IDEA

Erika Jayne is keeping her lips sealed on potential new 'RHOBH' cast members -- now that they've started shooting -- but she's open about wanting Chrissy Teigen in the mix.

We got the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star out in WeHo and asked about the upcoming season of the show, which is gonna be very different without Erika's partner in crime, Lisa Rinna.

We raised the subject of Chrissy, Kyle Richards' top choice to join the cast, and Erika lit up ... saying she really likes CT, but added there's one big hiccup -- "Chrissy doesn't need this show!!!"

Erika couldn't even contain her laughter at the suggestion ... even if Kyle's throwing full support behind the idea of Chrissy being the perfect replacement.

Remember, Rinna recently announced she was leaving the show after 8 seasons.

IRREPLACEABLE
BACKGRID

Naturally, Erika told us her pal was simply irreplaceable. However, she's found some comfort in knowing she and Lisa remain friends outside the 'Housewives' universe ... aka IRL.

As for how the change is impacting the whole cast, she says everyone's dealing with it professionally.

We tried to get her to crack on who, if anyone, has been added -- she's not risking pissing off Andy Cohen, but sounds like she'd love it if he could convince Chrissy to come aboard.

What's The Big Frigin' Difference?!

Model Winnie Harlow doesn't need a catwalk to be seen ... she just has to step out the car and it's all eyes on her! Can you strut your way to finding the minor switch-ups in these two shots? You may want to examine your zipper before taking on this challenge!

The stunning fashionista recently threw a regal wave to the cameras before heading to the Fendi show during Milan Fashion Week. She definitely looks put-together, but some things just ain't right. Can you bag up the discreet changes in the two shots? Good luck!

**HINT: There are THREE differences in the above Winnie Harlow photos!**

Leo DiCaprio, Gigi Hadid Leave Same Restaurant After Split Rumors

If you thought Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid were donezo, you might wanna reconsider -- because the 2 were seen leaving the same place while overseas -- though we're told there's more to the story than what the camera shows.

The actor and the model left Casa Cipriani in Milan separately Thursday night, 10 minutes apart from each other ... just hours after Gigi hit the Prada runway during Fashion Week.

Sources connected to the two tell us they were at a large party with 20 mutual friends to celebrate Edward Enninful's birthday. Enninful works at British Vogue.

Kendall Jenner and Dakota Johnson were also at the party.

DATE NIGHT?

Eyewitnesses tell us the 2 arrived around midnight and were sitting together inside, but things became hectic once they realized they were spotted -- Gigi tried hiding behind her bodyguard at one point.

While the two left at separate times, Leo's exit appears to be rushed.

As you know, Milan Fashion Week's in full swing, with events going down through the weekend ... and it appears Gigi wasn't the only supermodel Leo's spendin' time with.

Leo also apparently dines with another model in London the day before -- this time at the Chiltern Firehouse with model Josie Redmond.

DATE NIGHT??

Unclear if he's back with Gigi, has a thing with Josie, or if there's someone else ... but the actor's certainly living that Gatsby lifestyle.

Busta Rhymes' reaction to a strange woman grabbing his butt is stirring an uproar among fans -- but Claudia Jordan says the rapper had every right to react the way he did after getting violated.

BUSTED SLAP
Newsflare

We got the TV and radio host Wednesday in NYC outside the studio where she's guest hosting "The Breakfast Club" this week ... and she thinks safety is a priority for all artists, no matter their gender.

She's not buying into the ol' double standard that men shouldn't complain if a woman puts her hands on him without consent.

In case you missed it, Busta caught some flack after a clip of him went viral Tuesday, throwing a drink at a woman who ran up behind him, and touched his butt.

Folks online were split on the reaction -- some say he did the right thing, while others think he was out of pocket -- but Claudia's got BR's back, solidly.

She breaks it down, offering some counterpoints for those ripping Busta ... and reiterates there would be zero debate if the genders were swapped in this situation.

Raquel Welch Dead at 82

Raquel Welch, who paved the way as both an actress and international sex symbol has died ... TMZ has learned.

According to family members, Raquel died this morning after a brief illness.

Welch first rose to fame for her back-to-back roles in "Fantastic Voyage" and "One Million Years B.C." -- both in 1966.

Welch only had a handful of lines in 'B.C.' but it was her wardrobe -- a simple and skimpy deerskin bikini -- that catapulted her to sex symbol status.

From there, Welch's profile blew up, and she was one of the most sought-after female stars throughout the '60s and '70s ... taking home plenty of hardware in the process, including a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her 1974 role in "The Three Musketeers."

Welch was named one of the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History" in an issue of Empire magazine in 1995 ... and was ranked #3 in Playboy's "100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th Century."

She also appeared on "The Cher Show" in 1975 and performed "I'm a Woman" with Cher.

Raquel was married 4 times throughout her life -- James Welch ('59-'64), Patrick Curtis ('67-'72), Andre Weinfeld ('80-'90) and Richard Palmer ('99-'04) -- with 2 kids, Tahnee and Damon Welch.

Raquel was 82.

RIP

Valentine's Day Celebs Getting Heart On!!!

Ya gotta hand it to 'em ... some celebs are all in when it comes to Valentine's Day, and they're not ashamed to show it by throwing up heart symbols.💘

Take it from Nicole Scherzinger, Bella Hadid, and Izabel Goulart ... if there's a day to bust out the heart hands, this would be it.

Of course, it's a popular pose year-round on the 'gram, but supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio's version -- on a Mexican island back around the New Year -- is sure to draw even more likes on this holiday.

Hell, even EDM superstar David Guetta's known to give his fans a handful of lovin' during his shows.

'Tis the season, we guess. Happy VD!!!

Gisele Bundchen Celebrates V-Day ... No Tom This Year, But I Love My Dogs!!!

It's Gisele Bundchen's first Valentine's Day without Tom Brady in over a decade -- but she's still showing love for the romantic holiday nonetheless ... shouting out her doggos in a sappy IG post.

The supermodel -- who used to write about her love for TB12 every Feb. 14 -- switched up her message in the wake of her recent divorce from the NFL legend ... this year, choosing to pen a note to her pups.

"Pure love!!" said Gisele, who officially filed to split from Tom in October. "I am convinced they are little angels on Earth. Happy Valentine's Day to all! ❤️❤️❤️"

She added three photos to the post as well -- showing her getting some lovey kisses from the pets.

Of course, on this day just 12 months ago -- before trouble in paradise with the couple brewed -- Gisele and Tom swapped mushy messages about each other on their social media pages.

Bunchden even revealed she was planting trees in his honor to show him love.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The couple had dated since 2006 -- and were married for 13 years.

For his part, Tom also posted a message for V-Day on his IG on Tuesday morning ... sharing a quote that read, "Love is not a transaction; it is a certain exuberance and sweetness of your emotion."

Leonardo DiCaprio Nope, I'm Not Dating 19-Year-Old Model

Leonardo DiCaprio absolutely has a thing for women many years his junior, but his latest reported romantic link, a 19-year-old model just ain't legit ... TMZ has learned.

Rumors about Leo and Eden Polani started to fly last week after the two were spotted hanging out together at a music release party in Los Angeles for Ebony Riley's EP.

A source close to Leo tells us despite a photo showing Eden and Leo sitting next to each other, they're not dating and not a couple whatsoever.

Our source says Leo and Eden just so happen to have been seated next to each other at the party, and were hanging in the same group.

Our source makes it clear ... just because Leo might be talking to or sitting with a girl doesn't mean he's dating her.

Leo ended his relationship with 25-year-old Camila Morrone last year after 4 years together. Since then, he's been linked to multiple women ... including Gigi Hadid and 23-year-old actress Victoria Lamas. Our source says Leo is not in anything serious right now.

As we reported, Leo was recently spotted on a luxury yacht in St. Barts living it up with a ton of hot women in bikinis ... so single life is doing him well.

Tim Allen Flashes 'Home Improvement' Costar In Resurfaced Blooper Clip

012423-tool-time-kal
ACTIN' A TOOL
ABC

Tim Allen says Pamela Anderson's claim he flashed her behind the scenes on "Home Improvement" is a lie ... but there's a newly resurfaced clip showing the actor flashing another costar in a playful blooper.

The scene includes Tim and Patricia Richardson, who played Tim's wife, Jill Taylor, on the popular sitcom. Allen's dressed in a kilt, and Patricia says, "Hangs long, I just wish it was shorter."

Allen then lifts his kilt, and while the camera doesn't show what's under it, Patricia tells TMZ, "People ask me what was under the kilt when he flashed me, he was well dressed under there, I was just shocked that he lifted the kilt, not by a man in boxer shorts."

As we reported, a section from Pamela Anderson's upcoming book 'Love, Pamela' claims Allen flashed her backstage while he was wearing a robe on her first day at "Home Improvement."

Pamela writes, "He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably."

We should say, Allen's flashing of Patricia happened in front of a live studio audience, so there were plenty of other people around ... making it feel all the more light-hearted, and tough to compare to Pamela's claim.

Tim told us of Pamela's allegation, "No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing."
