Halsey My New BF and I are Smokin'

Halsey's relationship with her new rocker boyfriend doesn't look like a drag -- the 2 seem to be totally into each other ... even when they're just standing around smoking.

The singer was spotted out in WeHo Thursday night with British musician Yungblud, enjoying a cigarette and some PDA while they waited for their ride. We're told the couple had just left a dinner date at Jones Italian restaurant.

Halsey's been hanging with her slightly younger beau since at least November, shortly after breaking up with G-Eazy ... for the second time.

Looks like they're still going strong well into the new year.

Chicago's Polar Vortex Straw Bins to Rescue 200k Stray Cats!!!

Even 9 lives can't withstand 20 degrees below zero -- which is why Chicagoans are on a mission to save hundreds of thousands of stray cats ... with the help of tons of straw.

A grassroots community in Chi-Town called "Chicago Community Cats" has been bracing for a week for the polar vortex temperatures by prepping makeshift shelters for stray and feral cats. Erica Roewade, who runs the group, says about 200 people have been working around the clock to build straw-stuffed bins to keep the kitties warm.

It's a huge undertaking. Chi-Town reportedly has roughly 200k feral cats roaming its streets and alleys.

Roewade says the group has also purchased about 100 "Snuggle Safe Disks" (which also keep pets warm), heated water bowls and other supplies to distribute throughout the city.

Considering temps are expected to stay in the negative all week -- Roewade says the most important thing is to keep the frigid wind and airflow off the kitties.

Tom Brady All Smiles At Patriots' SB Practice

Doesn't seem Tom Brady's got too many nerves heading into his NINTH Super Bowl ... 'cause the G.O.A.T. was nothing but smiles at Patriots practice Wednesday!!!

New England hit the field at Georgia Tech for the first time since landing in Atlanta earlier this week ... and Tom was as cool as ever during the workout.

In fact ... the 41-year-old seemed downright giddy -- laughing and smiling throughout the practice.

Begs the question ... what is he so thrilled about just a few days before yet another pivotal game in his 19-year career??

Perhaps it's that Rob Gronkowski was healthy and on the field practicing ... or maybe he's just that confident about a victory over the Rams????

You've been warned, McVay!!!

25th SAG Awards A Fashion-Forward United Front ... Behind the Scenes

The 25th SAG Awards is in full swing, and if you take a peek behind the scenes ... you'll see everyone was dressed to the nines and beyond for this thing.

Tons of actors were on hand Sunday for the award show honoring folks in the SAG-AFTRA union, and nobody skimped on the swank -- including Michael B. Jordan (who wore a colorful Louis Vuitton harness over his tux), Lady Gaga who dazzled in a white gown, Viggo Mortensen who killed it with maroon ... and lots and lots of other stars who brought out their best outfits.

Some other standouts ... Chris Pine in the classic all-white tux, Sandra Oh who donned a gorgeous red gown, Darren Criss who sizzled in silver and, frankly, the entire "Black Panther" cast ... who looked absolutely incredible together in the front row.

Statuettes are still being handed out ... but take a gander at what's been going on backstage so far.

Mark Consuelos Ditches 'Riverdale' Tie in Mexico ... With 'Mistress' Ripa!!!

Mark Consuelos has mastered the double life ... living it up on vacay with his wife AND mistress.

The "Riverdale" star is down in Mexico with his wife, Kelly Ripa, who will costar alongside him later this week on the hit CW show when she plays his TV mistress, Mrs. Mulwray. It's a role Kelly said she's excited about because it was "23 years of auditioning for a role I was born to play."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Know what other roles they were born to play? Making all of us jelly of their ridiculously hard bods ... in matching white swimwear, no less.

We'd say #couplesgoals ... but let's keep it real. Most of us don't have a chance.

'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).
