Jay Z I'm Puff Daddy Through All the Becky Buzz
Jay Z ain't the least bit worried about "Becky" or any alleged affairs ... as long as he can light up a Cuban.
Jay was chilling in Miami, smoking a cigar with a friend on the eve of Beyonce's Formation World Tour kicking off down there.
It's the first time we've seen him since Bey dropped "Lemonade," and while the Beyhive wonders if he cheated -- Jigga looks every bit like a guy who's relaxed and comfortable knowing his wife's bringing in HUGE money. Even if she's airing their dirty laundry to do it.
He'll smoke to that!

Kim Kardashian Public Reunion with Rob ... Blac Chyna Too
Kim Kardashian is back to hanging out with her baby bro and his fianceé/her former BFF.
Kim was hanging with Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna Tuesday morning in Bev Hills -- only the second time we've seen Kim and Rob together since before her wedding ... 2 years ago!
We broke the story ... Kim played peacemaker in the family rift over Rob's shotgun engagement by having a sit down with her old pal Chyna.
So who's the third wheel? We'll call it one big happy family. For now.
Chris Hemsworth Shreddin' with Kelly Slater ... While Lil Bro Videos
It was surf god meets Norse god in Australia ... when "Thor" star Chris Hemsworth hit the beach with Kelly Slater for a celeb surf session ... while Chris' famous bro Liam played the role of photog.
Chris and Kelly paddled out together Monday in Byron Bay -- where they caught waves, shot the breeze and escaped the clutches of the great white sharks that frequent the area.
The entire surf sesh was caught on video by Chris' lil bro Liam Hemsworth -- who's not exactly small potatoes ... he's starring in the upcoming 'Independence Day' sequel.
Can't afford to get mauled by a shark right before the promotional tour!

Kelly Ripa I'm Not Looking Forward to This
Kelly Ripa left her swanky Upper East Side townhouse as she ends her boycott of her show ... and her expression tells it all.
There's an air of dread looming over her 'Live' show as she prepares to sit next to co-host Michael Strahan. The 2 haven't gotten along for several years, and the last week has only made things worse.
As we reported, Michael reached out to Kelly by text ... hours after he told her he was leaving for 'GMA.' She didn't respond until Saturday, and only superficially.
BTW ... this time she's clutching "The Rainbow Comes and Goes" by Anderson Cooper ... pretty clearly telegraphing he's a front-runner to replace Michael.
Makes for good TV.
Prince Ashes to Ashes
The ashes of Prince were gingerly carried away from the mortuary where he was cremated.
Prince's nephew, Pres Nelson, did the honors as his mom, Prince's sister Tyka, cleared the way. We don't know the identity of the woman walking behind Pres.
Pres shielded the urn by placing it underneath his jacket.
So far, the family hasn't said where the ashes will be strewn.

Ariel Winter Coachella Rage ... Underboob
Ariel Winter ditched flower crowns and chokers and started a whole new Coachella trend on the final day of the festival.
The "Modern Family" star's top kept getting smaller throughout the weekend. To her defense, it gets hot in the desert and it doesn't hurt to always be pool ready.
Too bad the fest's only 3 days long.

Erin Andrews Call Me 'Emmy Bean'
Erin Andrews attempted to fly under the radar with an alias -- but a photog broke the code.
The "Dancing with the Stars" and FOX Sports host was spotted at LAX with her limo driver, who clearly failed Covert Operations 101 -- since her fake name, "Emmy Bean," was in clear sight after they met.
If nothing else ... she managed to dodge creepy taxi drivers.

Ariel Winter Hangin' Out At Coachella
Ariel Winter got right into the Coachella spirit ... combining some lace and ripped shorts for a barely-there outfit.
Winter was spotted strolling through the Californian festival grounds Friday with boyfriend Laurent Claude Gaudette.
We can't speak for Gaudette ... but we're guessing he'd give his gf two big thumbs up.

Rory McIlroy Hits Beach with Hot Fiancee
Hope someone remembered the SPF 3000!
Here's golf superstar Rory McIlroy catching some rays in Barbados with his fiancee Erica Stoll ... trying to carefully fill in some of that t-shirt tan he got on the links.
Rory and Erica -- who works for the PGA -- got engaged back in December. No word on when the wedding will be.
But seriously, apply sunscreen generously ...

Bruce Springsteen Born to Surf
Bruce Springsteen caught a wave in Baltimore to celebrate the 35th anniversary of his classic album "The River."
Bruce & the E Street Band treated the Royal Farms Arena to a four-hour marathon, playing "The River" in its entirety and a ton of other hits. Fans showed their gratitude by giving Bruce major props ... passing him around for a crowd surfing sesh.
That's more than a little of that Human Touch.

Nick Young & Iggy Azalea Who Let The Dog Out?
Nick Young came home to Iggy Azalea -- baggage and all.
The Lakers star returned to their pad Tuesday after a boys trip to Vegas ... so it looks like he's still living with Iggy at this point. After Iggy checked the mail, we're guessing there were at least 20 questions about his weekend.
Maybe he was just out of town, respecting Iggy's privacy.

Guy Ritchie and Madonna From Whining to Wining
Guy Ritchie and Madonna have both done a 180 since Rocco bailed on her ... they're now co-parents who can share a bottle of wine.
Guy arrived at Madonna's house in London Monday night, armed with a half-full bottle of wine. Guy and Madonna would have called it half empty just a month ago, when they were at war over Rocco.
The judge told them to work it out like adults. They clearly have, and Rocco has responded well. His relationship with both mom and dad seems good.

Blake Shelton I Drink, Get Over It!
Blake Shelton sent a message to his fans -- and possibly In Touch magazine -- about his boozing habits during his latest concert.
Blake played the Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale this weekend ... and while onstage he took several healthy swigs from a cup that read, "I drink, get over it" -- and he made sure cameras captured the phrase.
Blake recently filed a defamation lawsuit against In Touch for its cover story about him hitting "rock bottom" and going to rehab. In Touch says there's no defamation, since Blake's proudly created a hard drinking image.
We suspect these pics might end up in court.
As Blake puts it (in song) ... "Cause the more I drink, the more I drink."

Prince William Chokes Up At Taj Mahal
Prince William clearly was overrun with emotion retracing his mother's iconic 1992 visit to the Taj Mahal.
William -- in tow with Kate Middleton -- paid a visit to one of the Wonders of the World, just as Princess Diana did. William was wiping away tears as the royal couple wrapped the tour.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also took a photo on the same bench in front of the marble landmark like William's mother once did ... by herself.
