'L&HH' Star Dream Doll Hard Core Homage to Lil' Kim ... During 'Funeral' Shoot

Lil' Kim's legacy is alive and well, even during a funeral ... just check out "Love & Hip Hop" star Dream Doll's living tribute to her hip-hop idol.

The 'L&HHNY' MC recently did a photo shoot recreating many of Kim's iconic looks as part of a music video she's doing for her new track, "Funeral," which features Lil' Kim.

Check out the pics -- they're a dead-on impression of some of Kim's most stunning shoots and visuals, including her blue outfit and wig for the "Crush On You" music vid, Kim's "Got D***" campaign from '03, her "How Many Licks" album cover, her 1999 Interview Magazine Louis Vuitton cover shoot, and more. Lucky for DD, there was no shortage of inspiration.

Dream Doll's manager KD McNair tell us production for the photo shoot and the music video -- which is still in the works -- ran her team upwards of $10,000 and took 12 hours to complete. We're told DD looks up to Kim and wanted to pay homage to her in this project.

She was styled by Looks by Lunden, BTW. Helluva job if we do say so ourselves.

Arianny Celeste Rocks Valentine's Day Lingerie ... Will Engorge Your Heart

It's now time to reevaluate who your Valentine is this year ... because UFC star Arianny Celeste is doing a super hot lingerie shoot for Lovers Day ... and she doesn't know you exist.

Celeste and her best pal Alejandra Boggiano dropped new smokin' hot images of their Valentine's Day shoot for their company Girlfriend Box ... and TMZ Sports has them.

The company offers a service to guys who want to get their GFs sexy outfits, by offering them a subscription program.

Good idea ... and a better way to sell the idea is Arianny serving up a variety of scantily clad looks to promote the company, and we gotta say ... DAMN.

BTW -- GF Box subscriptions range from 69-89 bucks ... and in case you were wondering, Arianny DOES NOT come with your first month, but you do get a Valentine's Day card, an outfit and jewelry for your girl.

Who, once again, isn't Arianny ... sorry guys (and some ladies).

What's The Big Frigin' Difference?!

Hugh Hefner's Widow Sells Home He Left Her ... For $5 Million

Crystal Harris just unloaded the home Hugh Hefner left her for $5 million.

Hefner bought the 4 bedroom pad in the Hollywood Hills back in 2013. The backstory is interesting. Hef married Crystal in 2012, and the next year he wanted to make sure she had a roof over her head when he died. You'd think the Playboy Mansion would have been enough, but the fact is Hef didn't own it ... it was owned by Playboy Enterprises, and he was worried it might be sold and his wife would be displaced.

So, in 2013, he bought the house which was held in trust for the 2 of them. When he died in September 2017, she became the sole owner.

As for how much the house appreciated in value ... it didn't. Crystal listed it for $7.2 mil, but it didn't sell. She just sealed the deal on the 5,900 square foot home for $5 mil -- the price for which it was purchased.

L.A. realtors Jason Oppenheim and Christine Quinn represented the buyer.

Hugh died peacefully at the Playboy Mansion in September 2017 at age 91, surrounded by loved ones. The mogul's health had been deteriorating for years, and was barely seen in public in the months before his death.

Kevin Durant Opens After-School Facility In Maryland

Kevin Durant blew off practice with the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday -- BUT IT WAS FOR A GREAT REASON -- the guy just opened his new after-school facility in Maryland!

KD had made a $10 MILLION donation to the project last year -- to cover "construction and operating expenses" for the center in Prince George's County ... where Durant is from.

Durant had teamed up with College Track to create the facility. The mission is to help kids from low-income areas get the resources they need to get to college.

On Wednesday, Durant met with some of the kids from the inaugural 69-person class -- and everyone seemed super excited!

The NBA superstar talked about the project to the Washington Post ... describing it as the "full circle stuff that you dream about."

He added, "So many people that meant so much to me at that time, and to see my name on the building ... Hopefully, that inspires kids in the area."

Ansel Elgort Ripped & Rubio en México ... With Smokin' Hot GF

Ansel Elgort and his high school sweetheart escaped the bad L.A. weather over the weekend with a trip south of the border ... where they both gave off muy caliente vibes.

The "Baby Driver" star -- who'll soon be the new "West Side Story" star -- was spotted hitting a beach in Mexico Sunday with his longtime girlfriend, Violetta Komyshan ... and they both looked incredible in their swimwear as they packed on the PDA.

Ansel was also sporting a new 'do -- bleaching his normally brown hair blond, and definitely pulling it off too. Violetta, of course, looked hot as hell too au naturel.

The couple has been dating since their high school days at Fiorello H. LaGuardia School in NYC -- and they've been going strong for seven years ever since.

Winter love at its finest.
