Party All The Time

It's a new year, but the same concerning habits seem to continue dogging Lamar Odom, who was seen partying it up in the Dominican Republic to ring in 2018.

Lamar was spotted hitting up a local hot spot on the island nation called Club 59, where he hung out with some girls he met up with there ... one of whom eyewitnesses tell us he kissed at midnight. We're told he smooched the woman in black seen standing by him here.

The problem ... sources tell us Lamar was seen knockin' back beers and tequila shots -- which you can clearly see in these pics. We're told the green bottle he's got in hand is called Presidente, a Spanish beer featured in breweries around the Dominican Republic.

As you'll recall ... he collapsed at a club in L.A. last month. His rep said he was simply dehydrated, but eyewitnesses told us he'd been drinking that night too.

Diddy played the hero at his own New Year's Eve party -- waking up a woman who had apparently passed out drunk ... and yacked on her coat.

The Bad Boy honcho hosted a mega NYE shindig Sunday at his house in Miami, and late into the night ... he came across a woman slumped over on some furniture.

He almost let another guest handle it, but then jumped into the mix himself ... rousing the the lady from unconsciousness and holding her steady as she came to.

Luckily, the rest of the night looked like something out of F. Scott Fitzgerald's imagination. Al Sharpton rolled through, so did DJ Khaled and plenty of other celebs. Yeah ... Gatsby would be proud.

Kylie Jenner missed out on watching Travis Scott perform for New Year's Eve -- but she probably got a full report, 'cause she had a couple proxies there in her place.

Travis took the stage Sunday night at LIV nightclub presented by Monster in Miami, where some his baby mama's crew were in attendance. Kylie's friends, Justine Skye and Anastasia Karanikolaou, were seen dancing in the crowd, as was Kendall's gal pal, Hailey Baldwin.

Eyewitnesses tell us all three girls, and the groups they were with, ended up in the DJ booth together at one point in the night -- where Travis raged a bit himself though his set.

Preggo Kylie wasn't seen at LIV, which makes sense -- she's pretty far along as far as we know. And despite rumors she and Travis split, we're told they're still together.

Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel pulled the ultimate billionaire move -- shutting down an iconic portion of L.A. to throw his employees the most baller New Year's Eve company party at L.A. Live.

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... Snapchat and its CEO are plunking down approximately FOUR. MILLION. BUCKS. to rent out Microsoft Theater and virtually every venue facing Microsoft Square -- Katsuya, Lucky Strike, Tom's Urban, Conga Room and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill.

We're told Spiegel's also planning to fly in SC employees from around the world.

The planning's been months in the making -- the ice rink usually at Microsoft Square through the New Year was removed just last week. We checked, and Snapchat secured proper permits to host as many as 5,000 guests who will be treated to a 105-foot DJ tower and pyrotechnics. There are also 2 full street closures to secure the area.

And get this ... there's gonna be a surprise performance and we're told it's Drake. Oh, snap!

Kim Kardashian and krew proved they'll party it up on a Wednesday for tacos and good company -- provided their hosts are Jennifer Lopez and A-Rod.

Kim, Kris Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian were 3 of the celeb guests hangin' at J-Rod's house in Bel-Air for a "Taco Wednesday" shindig this week.

Kim was bustin' out of her black halter top and pink coat, while J Lo shimmered in a glitter dress. It's a tough call, but we'll say the host mighta outshined everyone. Among some of her other guests -- Leah Remini and Carole Bayer Sager, at least from what we could see.

Josie Canseco was TURNED UP on Wednesday ... with the model showing off her butt and talking about getting hammered on the way into a nightclub ... and it's all on video.

Jose's daughter (who's dating rap star Mike Stud) was with some friends outside of Delilah in West Hollywood where Drake was hanging out and they planned on joining the fun.

One problem ... the side door was locked.

Don't worry, the boozy bunch eventually figured out a Plan B and got into the party -- after telling TMZ Sports their NYE resolution is to get "f*cked up!"

Hey, she's 21. Like you were any better?

Can't say we've heard this before -- a woman is suing Marriott for allegedly kicking her out of one of their hotels 'cause she was a non-swinger on a swingers' floor ... yup.

Hale Lewis says she booked a 3-day stay at a Marriott in Atlanta last year for a New Year's Eve party, and before she knew it ... she claims she was hauled out in cuffs because of a mix-up over the floor she was on ... which was apparently restricted to swingers.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, Lewis says she ran into a guy on her floor who thought she was part of "Swingers of Atlanta" ... and after allegedly attempting to get her to pay extra to be on the floor, she says he got hotel staff and police to boot her.

Lewis claims she went through the normal process of booking a room, and says the hotel had no right to kick her out -- let alone get cops involved. The lawsuit doesn't say specifically what she did, but we're guessing she pitched a fit after being told to leave. She says she was taken out in her PJ's.

She also claims the whole incident ruined her rep, so she's asking for damages.

Here's James Harden proving he doesn't need teammates to shine ... getting his solo groove on after hours at one of the hottest clubs in NYC.

It went down at 1 OAK, where we're told Harden was partying with his crew (and some lovely ladies) until the early hours of Wednesday morning.

We're told the spot normally closes up shop at 4 AM, but James asked they stay open an hour later (which they do all the time for celebs) and the resulting groove is captured in this video.

BTW -- the song is "Heartbreak On A Full Moon" by Chris Brown ... and yeah, it's a jam, even if you don't want it to be.

Work hard? Hot tub hard.

That was Ezekiel Elliott's mentality during his suspension/vacation in Mexico.

TMZ Sports obtained footage of Zeke chillaxin' with friends at the Diamante Resort in Cabo San Lucas.

The video was shot on December 15 -- but we're told Elliott was a regular at the hot tub during his stay in Mexico.

Zeke's camp has said the Dallas Cowboys star was hardcore training in Cabo during his 6-week suspension. He came back looking leaner.

Our sources say in addition to working out, he would party -- with one witness saying he was spotted multiple days popping bottles of expensive champagne with lady friends at the resort.

Beyonce and Jay-Z know an oldie but a goodie when they feel it ... enter the electric slide!!!

Bey and Jay led a group of family members to the popular dance as Frankie Beverly and Maze's "Before I Let Go" blared in the back at a recent family party. Bey's mom, Tina Knowles, posted the video but later took it down. Not sure why, the video is AWESOME!!!

Rihanna's the Wonder Woman of hip-hop, even down to her wardrobe ... slaying the stage with Kendrick Lamar during the day in all white and then later crashing the Jay-Z concert looking stunning in black.

Rihanna started her day in L.A. by performing with Kung Fu Kenny at the packed TDE Annual Christmas Concert in Watts performing "Loyalty." An event aimed at giving back to community youth of Nickerson Gardens, a project in Watts.

She then showed hers by catching Jay-Z's concert at The Forum nearby in a little black leather dress.

In other words, Rihanna's average Thursday... better than everybody else's.

Jay-Z might have 99 problems, but getting famous fans to attend his concert ain't one.

Hova's 4:44 tour made its way to The Forum Thursday night in Inglewood where there was no shortage of celebs. Queen Latifah, James Franco and Charlotte McKinney are some of the actors/models who carved out time to take in the show.

New "Survivor" champ Ben Driebergen gathered his inner circle of pals from the Marines and raised several tiny glasses to his $1 million victory. Oorah!!!

We got these pics of the retired Marine doing shots Wednesday night in Hollywood ... right after he won the 35th season of "Survivor." Ben and co. were celebrating at The Parlor where he was definitely the center of attention.

He posed for selfies with every fan who walked up to him -- including past players Bret and Hannah -- and by all accounts was totally humbled by his victory. While he was rightfully basking in the glory, some fans didn't dig the show's surprise ending -- Ben dodged elimination at final tribal council by winning a fire-making challenge.

David Foster and girlfriend Katharine McPhee seem to know that the couple that plays together one-horse open sleighs together ... hey, it's that time of the year.

Dave and Kat were just two of many celebs that attended singer-songwriter Carole Bayer Sager and her hubby Bob Daly's holiday party Saturday night ... but it appears they were also among the few that actually performed onstage.

Kim Kardashian caught the magic on camera, showing D&K doing a rendition of "White Christmas" with the help of Babyface -- and then pairing off to do Kelly Clarkson's "My Grown Up Christmas List." Dave handled piano -- and, naturally, Kat was on vocals.

Other musicians like Keith Urban and Joe Walsh sang Xmas ditties as well, and were even joined by the likes of Hugh Jackman at one point.

Cardi B twerked like her life depended on it at HOT 97's Hot for the Holidays concert on Thursday -- and got rewarded for her efforts with a Colin Kaepernick meet-and-greet after the show!

You might've heard ... Cardi's been backing Kaep ever since she blew up with "Bodak Yellow" -- saying she was gonna boycott the NFL if no team signed him back in September.

Fast-forward a few months ... and the hip-hop star finally got to meet her favorite football player and his GF, Nessa -- a HOT 97 radio host -- backstage at the Prudential Center.

Nessa even congratulated Cardi for "being the sweetest and for poppin' that booty onstage!!!"

You're welcome:

Jamie Foxx might as well have been turning 35 this week instead of 50 by how many old-school hip-hop acts he booked for his birthday bash ... talk about memory lane.

Jamie rang in the big 5-0 Wednesday night at Paramount Pictures Studios with a straight-up concert, and he brought out the big guns with guys like Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris and Too Short.

The bday boy was onstage for most of the performances -- which included Cube's "Gangsta Gangsta," Luda's "Move B***H," and other '90s/2000s hits ... oldies but goodies in 2017.
