Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's $11 million love shack is still under construction -- it has been for months -- and Thursday they put some pressure on the contractors ... by personally inspecting the quality of their work.

K&K dodged piles of scrap lumber and plywood as they did a walking tour of the 10,000-square-foot Italian-style villa in Bel Air, CA ... making sure the builders didn't leave out any details... like the bowling alley. Or the hair salon. Or the gym. Or the baby's nursery.

Hopefully the walls of the house are really, really thick ... 'cuz Kanye likes to yell. And everybody knows ... if the baby don't sleep ... nobody sleeps.

Ominous sign for Lamar Odom's battle with drug addiction -- he scooped up a household cleaning product that doubles as a vital part of homemade crack pipes ... and TMZ has the photos.

Lamar and his driver walked out of a San Fernando Valley pharmacy on Tuesday with a bag full of items ... most notably ... Chore Boy copper scrubbing pads.

How commonly are the pads used for drug abuse? Type it into Google ... and "crack" is the first auto-fill topic besides the product name. Also, Forbes magazine wrote an article about its use as a filter in makeshift crack pipes.

Oh, and Urban Dictionary defines it like this: "Brand name of scouring pad used also by people smoking crack to retain some of the cocaine vapors."

As TMZ first told you, multiple people in Lamar's life -- like his estranged wife -- are saying he desperately needs to get in to rehab for many addictions, especially crack.

So, it's possible the NBA star had some kitchen cleaning to do, but we gotta ask ...

Tyson Beckford IS TERRIBLY ILL ... succumbing to a powerful strain of the Justin Bieber virus that's been wreaking havoc on the nation.

Beckford was photographed out in NYC Tuesday, showing the telltale symptom of the gruesome disease ... a shirtless, hairless torso.

Beckford kept a smile on his face despite his condition, but if Bieber's any indication, the prognosis isn't good. It's not good at all.

Tyson Beckford ... we hardly knew ye.

It was only 71 degrees on Staten Island yesterday, but Ashley Greene made it seem a whole lot hotter ... flashing some side boob in a teeny yellow bikini during a movie shoot in NY.

A pink and white beach blanket just barely managed to conceal the goods ... as Ashley filmed a scene for "Staten Island Summer" at the Great Kills Swim Club ... where some of the locals were used as extras.

The movie's about a couple of dudes who take jobs as lifeguards while trying to figure out what to do with their lives.

Why would you ever do anything else?

Gwyneth Paltrow might be the worst driver in all of Los Angeles (and that's saying a lot) 'cause she CUT OFF A SCHOOL BUS ON HER VESPA WITH HER KID ON THE BACKSEAT ... and it was all caught on tape.

Paltrow and husband Chris Martin were picking up their kids from an L.A. school last week on their respective Vespas ... when Paltrow (with one of her young kids on the back of her scooter) darted out into traffic ... right in front of an oncoming school bus.

The bus driver had to slam on the brakes to stop from plowing into the actress ... and GP scooted away as if she didn't just put a bunch of people's lives in danger.

FYI -- school buses are giant and yellow and generally pretty hard to miss ... so we can't really understand why Gwyneth didn't just wait the 2 minutes for traffic to slow down before leaving the school.

We called Gwyneth for comment -- so far, no word back.

A nocturnal Lamar Odom wandered the streets of Downtown L.A. just after midnight Monday ... returning home at 6:30 AM.

According to the photo agency that took the pictures, Odom hit up Wokano sushi restaurant shortly after midnight. He stayed for only 5 minutes, according to the agency, and then meandered to a convenience store where he picked up a banana.

Odom returned to his downtown apartment building -- located about 1 mile from Skid Row -- then reemerged at 3:15AM, when he jumped into someone's car.

Lady Gaga did her best Rorschach yesterday while strolling around NYC for Fashion Week in some weird face mask.

The 27-year old singer hit the streets of Greenwich Village Saturday in what looked like chic hospital scrubs, the mask and freakishly tall high heels.

It's unclear who she's holding hands with in the pic ... but he clearly has no shame walking around with someone wearing that.

So much for Dennis Quaid's divorce ... a judge has officially DISMISSED the case after the couple reconciled earlier this year and now they appear to be one happy family again.

We broke the story ... Dennis and Kimberly Quaid had reconciled back in March but the divorce petition was far enough along in the court system that they couldn't just withdraw it -- they had to go to a judge. So they did ... and now we've learned their wish was granted.

The couple -- which married back in 2004 -- have 2 children together -- but the kids were nowhere to be seen on Friday, when D & K grabbed their road bikes and peddled through Brentwood.

First Carrie Underwood ... now this -- Sofia Vergara ALSO fell down hard yesterday ... landing squarely on her ass during a lunch run in Beverly Hills.

Sofia was entering the back of a restaurant when she slipped, tripped and crumbled ... right in front of someone with a camera.

Don't worry ... Sofia appeared to be OK and went shopping after the fall.

Now, here's a picture of Sofia in happier times ...

Are you planning to marry Kate Upton one day???

Well, good news ... she's probably gonna stay hot ... at least judging by this photo of her mother.

21-year-old Kate took a little stroll with her mom Shelley yesterday after the two lunched at super-pricey, celebrity eatery, Nello in NY.

Good genes in that family.

There is a blonde woman in Hawaii who has a job MILLIONS of people would kill for -- OFFICIAL PAUL WALKER SIX-PACK OILER-UPPER!!!

Paul is in Oahu to star in an ad for Cool Water cologne ... and during the shoot, the photog decided the actor's stomach needed a little more shine.

Enter, the oil lady.

Besides the grease, the woman also got to feed Paul water from a bottle ... and then poured some H20 on his body .. 'cause, why not?

So how does one get that job? If we knew, we wouldn't be here.

Brad Pitt got behind the wheel of a giant death machine over in the U.K. ... and we've got the BAD ASS pics

Pitt was tooling around the English countryside Wednesday while preparing for his new film "Fury" ... a flick about a tank crew in the final weeks of World War II.

The 49-year old "World War Z" star listened intently to an instructor while cruising in the hatch of the machine ... which can't be any louder than a minivan filled with six kids. We think Brad can relate.

Justin Bieber may -- or may not -- have pulled a major stoner faux pas in Calabasas yesterday ... 'cause someone inside the singer's van dumped BONG WATER on the side of the road.

MAJOR STONER NO NO!!!!!

It's unclear WHOSE HAND is attached to the bong ... but we do know it's Bieber's ride. He's been toolin' around L.A. in the pimped out Mercedes party van all week long.

Here's what we know ... the bong dumper is definitely NOT Lil Za or Lil Twist ... 'cause, well ... the hand is white. Duh.

We're also told the van was en route to Jim Henson Studios ... and later that day, JB snapped a photo of himself inside a record studio.

Still, since there are no shots of the bong dumper's face ... it's impossible to tell if the perp is Bieber ... or one of Bieber's white friends.

Actually, does Bieber even have white friends anymore? Hmmmmm ...

Sporting his and hers hot pink shirts, golf superstar Rory McIlroy and his tennis superstar girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki hit the streets of NYC together yesterday for a couples shopping spree ... packed with PDA.

They held hands ... they sucked face ... she put his hand on her ass ... it was actually kinda cute.

There's only one problem -- he's got a Nike contract ... and she's an Adidas girl.

Deal breaker?

Catherine Zeta-Jones is now making her OWN powerful statement in response to reports she's split from husband Michael Douglas ... proudly wearing her wedding ring in Connecticut Wednesday.

Douglas himself shot down the rumors over the weekend in Berlin, telling reporters he was still wearing his wedding band because ... surprise, surprise ... he's "still married."

You'll recall, reports surfaced last week that Douglas and Zeta-Jones were taking some time apart after 13 years of marriage ... partially due to the stress from Douglas' battle with cancer and Catherine's struggle with bipolar disorder.

But by the looks of it ... there's still hope yet.

He ain't just into S&M, "Fifty Shades of Grey" star Charlie Hunnam is also into THC ... at least judging by the guy's wardrobe.

Hunnam was spotted at LAX wearing an Alternative Herbal Health Services shirt ... a popular marijuana dispensary in West Hollywood that has a marijuana vending machine and sells weed soda ... seriously.

Fun Fact -- Charlie once sparked a bowl for Snoop Lion during an Internet show (scroll to 11:38).
