UPDATE
UPDATE

It's the only picture Rob has of himself on his entire Instagram page, so this is very rare.

Rob Kardashian's stepping back out into the public eye ... for another one of his sister's birthday parties.

Rob was spotted entering Delilah in WeHo well after 1 AM to celebrate Kendall Jenner’s 24th bday, decked out in an orange hoodie and his signature blue baseball cap. As he walked in, he put his hands around the waist of Kylie's current BFF, Stassie Karanikolaou.

We're told Rob was at Blind Dragon for a while beforehand ... along with a massive celeb guest list partying with Kendall on Halloween.

As we told you ... Rob was seen for the first time in a long while last week on Kim's Instagram Story while he was celebrating with the family at her 39th birthday dinner. He's looking a lot slimmer.

Our Kardashian sources told us he'd lost weight by eating healthier, exercising, and most significantly ... quitting alcohol.

It's unclear if Rob abstained from drinking as he was hanging with his sis at the Hollywood hot spots, but at least he's joining the party.

Jenelle Evans Take Me Back, MTV I Didn't Pull that Trigger!!!

Jenelle Evans is desperate for MTV to re-hire her on "Teen Mom," and the reason is simple -- her well has run dry.

Sources close to Jenelle tell TMZ ... she wasn't financially prepared for such a sudden split with the network when they dropped her after David killed the family dog. We're told while she did have a cosmetics line, it wasn't that successful and she needed the cash.

We're told Jenelle -- who has now split from David -- is trying to set up a meeting with the network in NYC.

Jenelle's pitch, we're told, is simple -- she was a ratings grabber when she was on the show, and although it may be for the wrong reasons, her profile is even higher after all the drama and legal troubles with David. People who knew nothing about "Teen Mom" know her.

She also plans to tell the network there should be a measure of fairness here ... she did nothing wrong. David was the problem, and now that she's jettisoned him, all should be good.

She wants back on the show stat ... in time for the holidays. She thinks a Thanksgiving and XMAS sans David would make for good TV.

As we reported ... Jenelle announced Thursday she filed papers to end her marriage to David.

Dog the Bounty Hunter Still Heartbroken on Beth's Birthday ... Alone and Reminiscing

Dog the Bounty Hunter's still very much in the throes of his grief from losing his soulmate ... and he spent her birthday grieving, all by himself.

Sources close to Dog tell TMZ ... Beth Chapman's death hit him especially hard on October 29 ... when he would have been celebrating her 52nd birthday. We're told Dog was back in their hometown of Denver that day and spent the entire time indoors.

Dog sat alone going through photos of Beth and himself, with their family ... reflecting on their lives. We're told it was a tear-filled day, but he wasn't in complete solitude. We're told he called their children and many of Beth's friends to reminisce and talk about the positive impact she had on their lives.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Dog paid tribute to his late wife on Instagram that day too, with a series of video clips of Beth from their most recent reality show. He captioned one, "There will never be another like you. Happy birthday Beth! We [love] you!"

As we've told you, along with trying to recover emotionally, Dog's been focused on getting healthier ... starting with his diet. He revealed to Dr. Oz he was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition -- a pulmonary embolism --  and added he wouldn't be around for long without improving his heart condition.

Our sources say the outpouring of love from fans -- who flooded his IG tributes to Beth with comments -- has helped. Dog took time out to read those well-wishes on his wife's birthday.

Bridget Marquardt
MAKING CONTACT
TMZ.com

Bridget Marquardt and Holly Madison were able to reach Hugh Hefner from the great beyond ... and Bridget says Holly's finally made peace with her famous ex.

Bridget came on "TMZ Live" this Halloween, breaking down her séance at Holly's house -- which she claims is haunted -- and telling us about the girls' paranormal chat with the late Playboy founder.

As we first told you ... the former 'Girls Next Door' stars planned to contact Hef the night before Halloween with the help of "Ghost Adventures" star and Hollywood psychic medium Patti Negri.

Bridget Marquardt, Hugh Heffner Seance
HELLO FROM HEF
Ghost Magnet

The girls accomplished their metaphysical mission, contacting Hef and several other spirits from beyond the grave.

Holly and Hugh had a rocky history before his death -- she claimed he abused her emotionally and verbally while she was in the Playboy Mansion -- but Bridget says Holly was totally okay with getting in touch with Hef's spirit.

It's kinda spooky ... Bridget says during the séance, Holly learned Hef periodically checks in on her from the spirit world, but Holly's happy to know he still cares about her.

Bridget says nothing crazy happened during the ritual -- no chandeliers jingling or curtains billowing in the wind -- but she's got a few ghost stories from Holly's house that will make your skin crawl!!!

Jenelle Evans Files for Divorce ... David's Screwing Up My Business

Jenelle Evans has thrown in the towel on her marriage ... because she's filed for divorce from David Eason.

The former 'Teen Mom' star said, "Nobody gets into a marriage expecting it to end but i know that's what is best for me, and for my kids. Today I've filed papers to start that process."

She doesn't say what caused her to end the marriage, but our sources tell us Jenelle believes she will not have a career in any field if she stays with David. She says she's looking out for her kids, knowing that she must provide for them.

We're told she also has come to realize her marriage to David was anything but healthy. As we extensively reported, David shot and killed the family dog after it nipped at their 2-year-old child, Ensley.

Children's Services investigated, the kids were temporarily removed from the home and there were challenges to custody in court. They eventually got the kids back, but MTV dropped Jenelle and she's had a hard time making her next business move ... in part because of her relationship with David.

They married in Sept. 2017 and were together 2 years before that.

Jenelle says, "I appreciate the support from everybody who has asked how I am. me and the kids are doing great. We need some time to be together. But you'll hear from us again soon."

This will be Jenelle's second divorce.

Amber Portwood Cops Plea Deal in Machete Case

Amber Portwood has a chance to avoid jail time in her domestic violence case after striking a plea deal ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... the "Teen Mom OG" star has agreed to plead guilty to 2 felonies -- domestic battery and intimidation. As part of the deal, she'll get 906 days of probation and if she successfully completes it ... the domestic battery charge will be dismissed and the intimidation charge will be reduced to a misdemeanor.

Amber must also take 26 weeks of a Batterers' Intervention Program, submit to random urine and breath testing. She's also been ordered not to contact her ex-BF, Andrew Glennon, EXCEPT for arranging custody exchanges of their 1-year-old son, James.

TMZ broke the story ... Amber was busted back in July in Indianapolis after Andrew claimed she attacked him while he was holding their son. Andrew said she came after him with a machete during the attack.

At the time ... Amber temporarily lost custody of James -- and she's still locked in a custody battle with with Andrew, who wants to move to Malibu ... with their son. Amber's trying to pump the breaks on that.

Ted Bundy Murder Kit Sold To Zak Bagans ... Ski Mask, Ice Pick & More!!!

A treasure trove of dangerous items seized from Ted Bundy's infamous Volkswagen Beetle now have a new owner ... Zak Bagans.

The "Ghost Adventures" star tells TMZ ... he bought a ton of Ted's murderous memorabilia from a key detective who worked the Bundy case ... and the big-ticket item is Ted's murder kit, which includes Bundy's ski mask and a red-handled ice pick.

Also in Zak's haunted haul  -- 2 mismatched gloves, a flashlight, orange wire, Glad trash bags, a brown gym bag, white clothesline rope and strips of bed sheets used for tying up his victims.

The items were seized by cops when they pulled over Ted's car way back in 1975 ... and they were in former detective Jerry Thompson's possession until his wife sold them to Zak.

Bundy's ski mask is the pièce de résistance -- Ted wore it during his gruesome crimes -- and Zak tells us it's terrifying and oozes bad energy.

The murder kit is pretty spooky on its own ... and Zak tells us he also bought Bundy's trial papers, photos, audiotapes and evidence samples ... and it's all headed to his Haunted Museum in Vegas, where everything will be displayed publicly for the first time.

As we first reported ... Zak previously dropped $50,000 on the glasses Ted used to disguise himself and elude authorities.

Bagans says he wants to display part of Ted's dark history so folks learn about the "monsters that walk among us."

Vinny & Pauly D Second Shot at Love ... Handsy in da Club!!!

'Jersey Shore' stars Pauly D and Vinny Gaudagnino are giving two lucky gals another shot at love ... bumping and grinding with some former flames in a Vegas nightclub.
GIRLS NIGHT
TMZ.com

Pauly D and Vinny Gaudagnino are giving 2 of their exes another shot at love, and the decision-making process requires some intense bumping and grinding ... in a Vegas club.

Check out this video from Drai's Nightclub ... the "Jersey Shore" stars were all over 2 girls you might recognize from their reality show, "Double Shot at Love with Pauly D and Vinny."

Pauly D's making out with Nikki Hall, who made it all the way to the finals of 'Double Shot.' Now, she went home empty-handed because Pauly chose to go solo -- but she's clearly back on his radar.

Meanwhile, Vinny's grinding all over Maria Elizondo. She was eliminated one episode before the 'Double Shot' finale, but clearly hope springs eternal 'cause she's giving Vinny a pretty intense lap dance.

The guys had cameras rolling for all of this because we're told it's gonna end up on their new MTV show, "DJ Pauly D and Vinny's Vegas Pool Party."

Guess we know where the next scenes will be shot -- and ya can't say Maria and Nikki aren't giving it their all to stay in the running!!!

Brody Jenner & Josie Canseco Calling It Quits ... No Kaitlynn Reunion Coming

Brody Jenner is a single man after splitting from Josie Canseco, and we know what you're thinking, but ... no, the breakup has nothing to do with his freshly single ex, Kaitlynn Carter.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Brody and Josie are telling friends they've broken up, and one of their main issues was their age difference -- Brody is 36 and Josie is 22. We're told they're just on different pages in life.

The timing is interesting ... as we first reported, Miley Cyrus ended things with Kaitlynn a few weeks ago. Remember, the two women were first linked when they were kissing in Italy ... just as Miley announced she'd separated from her husband, Liam Hemsworth. Of course, Kaitlynn and Brody had also just split.

THEY ARE STAYIN' BUSY
TMZ.com

We got Brody's mom, Linda Thompson, over the weekend at the Casamigos Halloween party in Bev Hills after our photog saw her hugging and chatting up Kaitlynn. Linda told us Brody and Josie are on opposite sides of the world, but claimed they were still dating.

However, our sources say they're definitely dunzo, and their social media backs that up -- Brody and Josie have already scrubbed each other from their accounts.

As for Brody and Kaitlynn -- we're told they still communicate, but there's no chance of a romantic reconciliation. While Brody is still in party animal mode ... she's ending that phase.

As we've first reported, Brody and Kaitlynn split this summer after he wouldn't commit to giving her the two things she wanted -- a baby and a legal marriage. Although they had a big ceremony in Indonesia in 2018, they never followed up with a marriage license in the States.

Shortly after that split, Brody and Josie hooked up ... which, in hindsight, looks pretty rebound-y.

Far as we know, Brody never got a chance to hit the batting cages with Josie's pops, Jose Canseco.

Kim K's Pal Jonathan Cheban No More The Name's Foodgod, Legally!!!

Jonathan Cheban -- Kim Kardashian's longtime friend and frequent guest on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" -- just turned his Instagram handle into his legal name. Chow down!!!!

JC filed legal docs in Florida -- his primary residence, it seems -- asking a judge to sign off on the name change from Jonathan Cheban to .................... wait for it ...

...

...

.... just a little bit more

........... FOODGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's actually just Foodgod, but you get the idea. And yes, there's no capital G in the name, and the words aren't split up either as some media outlets have stylized it in the past. Sorry about that, holy folks and grammar nerds. Unfortunately for you, the Foodgod has spoken.

TMZ got a hold of the official judgment that was entered last week. It ain't all that fancy -- a name change isn't complicated. But, for Jonathan Foodgod, it carries significant weight.

If you don't know, FG's been all about the eats for a while now -- being a bonafide foodie is kinda his thing, and he proudly showcases it all over his social media pages. Literally, it seems like just about every post is related to good grub ... he even sleeps with food.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

And, of course, Jon's been rockin' the @foodgod handle for a minute too. But, if you check out his IG today ... you'll see he's got the registered trademark symbol next to it.

Next stop ... the DMV!!!

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Baby Mama Jen Harley Getting A Bigger Ass Thanks to Stranger's Fat!!!

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's baby mama, Jen Harley, is in the market for more junk in her trunk ... and she's gonna do it with the help of some fat donations.

Harley's set to get fat injections early next month, however, it won't be her own blubber. We're told doctors take fat cells out of other patients, clean them up, and then inject them into folks looking for a thicker caboose.

L.A. Dr. Jaime Schwartz will do the honors ... he specializes in performing the procedure on women who don't have enough fat in their bodies to move around.

We're told the process takes about an hour and a half and is pretty much pain-free. Jen will be awake during the whole time.

BTW the procedure costs around $25k.

When all is said and done, Jen's ass will be fuller, rounder and better sculpted.

The timing makes sense for someone looking to move on ... Jen and Ronnie just had a nasty breakup after a domestic incident in L.A. Ronnie's been charged with 5 misdemeanors for the incident, including domestic violence and child endangerment.

We're told the two will continue to co-parent their 18-month-old daughter, Ariana, and hammer out a more official custody arrangement once the dust settles from the criminal case.

Lindsay Lohan Confirms No Ill Will Toward Miley Cyrus or Cody Simpson

Lindsay Lohan
NO HARD FEELINGS
TMZ.com

Lindsay Lohan doubled down on what we'd already heard -- that her apparent dig at Cody Simpson and Miley Cyrus was much ado about nothing ... and nothing more than jest.

We got LiLo out Friday in NYC where we asked her to clarify her since-deleted Instagram post that seemed to shade both Miley and Cody ... in which she implied Cody had "failed" and "settle[d] for less" by dumping her sister, Aliana, to be with Miley.

Lindsay also said that he may have won 'The Masked Singer,' but had lost at life. She quickly took down the post after putting it up, but it had gotten screenshot and spread around.

The 'Masked Singer' jab stems from her time as a judge on the Australian version of the show, when she called him out for left-behind furniture she'd bought him, and wanted back.

Hitting the point home, she said ... "If it is you, we have a lot to talk about, and this is not the arena for it. I want my furniture back! Because I bought your furniture for your house in Venice!" While jokey, Lindsay also sounded somewhat serious about her demand.

Well ... we'd spoken with sources close to Lindsay, who told us she was only kidding around and that her IG post was merely an inside joke. She confirmed that with us here on camera, saying it was, in fact, a joke ... and that she loves Miley and thinks Cody's a great guy.

LiLo even weighed in what she thinks of them as a couple. Watch ... it's high praise.

Kim and Kanye Gettin' Fishy in New York City!!!

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were like magnets in NYC Friday ... they go to lunch and a gaggle of fans assemble for a quick look and a quick pic.

K & K dined at Milos restaurant -- BTW the best fish restaurant in the Big Apple -- and a crowd gathered almost immediately after they entered through the turnstyle door.

They looked happy -- especially Kanye, who dropped his long-awaited, long-delayed album just hours earlier.

As we reported, Kanye's turned a page in his career and gospel is what you'll hear when you go to a Ye concert ... maybe with old beats, but new words.

Ye's taking his Sunday service back to L.A. ... He'll be doing the honors at The Forum in Inglewood -- the same place he unveiled songs from his new album earlier in the week.

Dog the Bounty Hunter I'm Trying To Get Better ... No More White Foods!!!

Dog the Bounty Hunter says he's focusing on his health and recovery following a scary diagnosis last month ... starting with his diet.
NEW LEASE ON LIFE
TMZ.com

Dog the Bounty Hunter says he's focusing on his health and recovery following a scary diagnosis last month ... starting with his diet.

We got Dog out in NYC as he was leaving Barstool Sports and asked how he's doing, and he tells us he's trying his best to get better ... specifically by laying off white foods.

So ya know, white foods -- aka "bad carbs" -- refers to sugar and other white-colored foods that have been processed and refined ... like flour, rice, pasta, bread, crackers and cereal. Natural, unprocessed white foods -- like onions, cauliflower, turnips, white beans and some fish -- are all good.

As we reported ... Dog revealed to Dr. Oz he was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition -- a pulmonary embolism -- which he called a "ticking time bomb." Dog added he wouldn't be around for long without improving his heart condition.

Seems like he's taking doctors' orders -- as well as the wishes of his family -- to make the necessary lifestyle changes he needs to keep on truckin'.

As we told you ... Dog learned of his diagnosis after he was rushed to the hospital in mid-September with chest pains. He didn't suffer a heart attack but told us he believed a broken heart due to the death of his wife, Beth Chapman, was responsible.

'Jersey Shore' Star Vinny Keto Guido? More Like Cheato Guido! ... Pauly D Protests Book Signing!!!

WHAT A CARBO-LOAD
TMZ.com

Vinny Guadagnino's book signing for his new Keto cookbook got stormed by carb-loving protesters ... led by his good buddy, Pauly D.

The 'Jersey Shore' star's devotion to the keto diet -- which cuts carbs in favor of quality high-fat foods -- has helped him shed some serious weight and look great ... and got him dubbed the "Keto Guido" on the first season of "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation."

Vinny also put out a cookbook as a guide for fellow Keto lovers, and held a signing in Vegas Wednesday night ... which was the perfect opportunity for Pauly to strike.

Pauly and the others marched outside the bookstore holding signs with photos of Vinny eating pizza and other carb-loaded dishes ... accusing him of cheating on the diet. The signs read, "Cheato Guido," "My Carbs My Choice," and "Ain't Nothin Keto About This Guido."

The protest then made its way inside the store and Pauly kept the chants going right in Vinny's face ... all in good fun, of course.

Cameras were on hand too ... so it's safe to assume Pauly's antics will be covered on the show.

IT'S NO T-SHIRT TIME!

As for Vinny -- cheato or not -- the diet's done his body good ... his popular summer gig as a Chippendales dancer's testament to that.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro No Felony Charge In Fight with Baby Mama

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro won't face any felony charges for the nasty incident with baby mama Jen Harley that left him tased and in handcuffs.

Law enforcement sources tell us the L.A. County District Attorney's Office kicked Ronnie's case down to the City Attorney on Wednesday. Only the DA has the power to charge Ronnie with a felony ... the CA will now decide whether or not to hit him with a misdemeanor.

The DA's decision is the second turn the case has taken in less than a week. TMZ broke the story -- while Ronnie was originally arrested for kidnapping -- the case didn't meet the DA's criteria for the charge.

Sources told us the LAPD was instead pushing for a felony domestic violence charge ... but clearly, the DA didn't think that was necessary either.

If the City Attorney does hit Ronnie with a misdemeanor domestic violence charge, the maximum penalty is 1 year in county jail.

Jen Harley Security 10/4/19
THE SECURITY FOOTAGE
TMZ.com

It was earlier this month when cops were called to a home Ronnie and Jen were staying at in L.A. for a domestic dispute. Jen alleged Ronnie had gotten physical with her, and their 18-month-old daughter, Ariana, was right in the middle of it all.

In security footage -- obtained by TMZ -- you can see Jen apparently looking for a place to hide during the ordeal.
