The Kardashians

Kim Kardashian is getting sued for a smashup she had near the Beverly Hills Hotel a couple years ago.

Rafael Linares says he was driving on Sunset Blvd when the accident happened. In the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in L.A., Linares doesn't describe the accident any further -- but goes on to say he suffered multiple injuries, and has incurred expenses for physicians and surgeons.

He also says his car was damaged ... again not much detail beyond that.

As we reported when the accident happened in March 2014 ... no one was ticketed, and Kardashian and Linares exchanged info and hugged it out.

Sources close to Kim describe the damage as "minimal" and felt the guy was totally fine. Her G Wagon suffered a slight paint scuff during the collision.

Gossip Cop first reported the lawsuit.

Kendall Jenner is a lucky woman ... she narrowly avoided serious injury after almost being swept under a moving vehicle.

Kendall was on her way back to her hotel in Milan after a Versace fashion show when her driver stopped to let her out. The driver got out ... presumably to open Kendall's door. But Kendall opened it herself, not knowing the driver failed to put the vehicle in park.

Sound the alarm ... Kardashian Inc's head honcho Kris Jenner is out of the email game after having a crippling corrective surgery.

Kris excitedly posted a shot of Chrissy Teigen's new cookbook, but included her heavily bandaged right hand in the pic. Sources connected to the momager tell us she had surgery yesterday for a bone spur on her middle finger.

We're told the injury means she's on the shelf when it comes to emailing or texting -- a huge deal for her, considering how many careers she's managing. But Kris isn't out of the game completely ... one of her assistants will just be doing a ton of dictation.

Blac Chyna's pissed she's looking like the bad guy after posting a vid of all the food that was stocked in Rob Kardashian's kitchen ... when all she's doing is helping him slim down.

We're told she's upset because people think she was insulting Kris Jenner, who was presumably behind the quinoa, gourmet crackers, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter ... and other healthy items purchased. Remember, he's diabetic.

Sources close to Rob and Chyna tell us they have a strict no carb rule which has been instrumental in helping Rob shed lbs. We're told Chyna was just busting on the carb-filled selections in the cabinet -- and has zero beef with Rob's mom.

Besides, we're told Chyna doesn't even buy that Kris picked out the food. As one source put it, "When's the last time you saw Kris Jenner inside a grocery store?"

Blac Chyna went ham on Kris Jenner and her family for daring to help stock Rob Kardashian's new kitchen with healthy food.

Check out the video ... Chyna scoffs at the food choices, including fat free sorbet, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, wheat tortillas, oatmeal and quinoa. BTW ... there's also pizza crust mix, although it's wheat.

TMZ broke the story ... Kris helped Rob buy a house in the Calabasas community where his sisters live. It seems Chyna's none too happy his family is back in the picture.

Our Kardashian sources tell us they think it's despicable Chyna's making fun of Rob's family for trying to help him beat his diabetes and weight issues.

To Chyna's credit, Rob has lost around 40 lbs on her watch.

Rob made it clear which sides he's picking between Chyna and his fam with a very descripitive IG post late Tuesday night ...

James Harden is being CALLED OUT by Khloe Kardashian -- who says James begged her to be in an exclusive relationship ... only to CHEAT ON HER ASS!

KK put Harden on blast on "Kocktails with Khloe" on FYI -- saying the Houston Rockets star was so into her, that he sweet talked her into monogamy -- and then screwed her over.

"He sought me out, he wanted to be committed ... then wasn't committed."

Rob Kardashian can have all the sleepovers and home workouts he wants with Blac Chyna now -- he just got his own house, but his sisters are still within shouting distance.

TMZ has learned Rob bought a 4,256 sq. ft crib in Calabasas within the gated Oaks neighborhood. Our sources tell us he scored the 4 bedroom pad for $2.285 million. Kris Jenner helped out with the purchase, which is under the family trust, and it closed a week ago.

The Kardashians have quite the compound going -- Rob, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie and even Lamar ... all live within a few blocks of each other. Mom and Kim are up the road in pricier Hidden Hills homes.

One selling point for Rob -- the kitchen has a huge center island and breakfast nook, just in case he and BC want to recreate that scene Khloe walked in on last month.

We reached out to the 2 biggest realtors in the area -- Tomer Fridman from Sotheby's and Emil Hartoonian at The Agency -- but neither was available for comment.

Robert Kardashian may be gone, but his memory burns bright, because almost the entire Kardashian brood turned up to celebrate what would have been his 72nd birthday.

Kris Jenner hosted the bash at her Calabasas home. Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie were all there, dining on traditional Armenian food, including, hummus, pita bread, stuffed vine leaves, bulgur wheat, string cheese and baklava.

Interestingly, we're told Lamar Odom and Scott Disick were also there.

Blac Chyna is warning Kylie Jenner to stay the hell off her corner -- there's only room for one celebrity chef in the family.

KJ dropped her debut episode of "Cooking with Kylie" Monday morning ... which probably sounds very familiar to her bro Rob Kardashian, since his gf's been doing the same damn thing!

BC's been doing "Cooking with Chyna" on social media for a few months. In fact, Rob was a fan of the page even before he hooked up with Chyna.

Kylie's new venture didn't go over well. Minutes after her 'Cooking' announcement, Chyna posted this not-so-cryptic message: "Bitch Bye Follow @cookingwithchyna #InfatuatedWitChy."

They've got 9 months to sort out who cooks Thanksgiving dinner.

Saint West just made his public debut in honor of his grandfather, Robert Kardashian's birthday ... but there's a whole lot of daddy Kanye West in his face.

Kim Kardashian just posted the first shot of the nearly 3-month-old tyke. Kim captioned the pic: "Today is my dad's birthday. I know there's nothing more in the world he would have wanted than to meet his grandchildren. So I wanted to share this pic of Saint with you all."

Speaking of dads ... Kanye's been sleeping on the job. Kim also posted a pic of 'Ye and North passed out in the middle of a shopping trip for baby stuff at Bel Bambini.

Shop till you drop, right?

Rob Kardashian is sticking to a strict diet -- no fast food, regular workouts and lots of Blac Chyna ... and friends think it's already helped him shed about 40 lbs.

We're told Rob's also cut out red meats and carbs while hitting the gym 5 times a week with a trainer ... plus additional workouts with Chyna.

We're told the couple made a "no cheat days" vow, and they're motivating each other to stick to it.

It's hard to say the program isn't working, based on recent pics. Some home cookin' from Blac Chyna doesn't hurt either ...

Kris Jenner was roundly and thunderously booed off stage at the iHeart 80's concert Saturday night.

Kanye West is stepping up his pool game so much ... he's building a freakin' lake!

TMZ has learned Kanye and Kim Kardashian said screw it, and tore up a perfectly fine pool that used to sit in their backyard -- and will upgrade to a body of hot ice that's more like a small lake, or at least a really big pond.

We're told man-made Lake Kimye will be fully filtered upon completion and at least 5 times the size of any other backyard oasis in the Hidden Hills neighborhood. It's part of the sweeping changes Kim and 'Ye are making to the estate they purchased in 2014.

Of course, Drake recently took a shot at Kanye in his track "Summer Sixteen," saying:

I used to wanna be on Roc-A-Fella then I turned into Jay
Now I got a house in LA, Now I got a bigger pool than 'Ye
And look man, 'Ye’s pool is nice, mine's just big is what I’m saying

Two things come to mind -- 1. Time for a remix, Drake, and 2. So much for being broke, Yeezy!

Blac Chyna finally planted her lips on Rob Kardashian for everyone to see, but something might be missing here.

Considering Rob and Chyna have been almost inseparable for about a month now -- you'd probably expect something more passionate than a BFF-like peck on the cheek for their first Instagram kiss.

No doubt, BC's been great for Rob's confidence and his workout regimen, but c'mon -- where is the love? Where's the passion?

On the other hand ... this is the happiest we've seen Rob in years.

Kylie Jenner beat a hasty, silent retreat at LAX late Wednesday ... still wearing her Adidas as a faint show of support to Kanye.

Kylie was returning from NYC, hours after PUMA announced she is becoming the face and feet of the brand. As we first reported, Kylie blindsided Kanye and Kim ... never telling them she was cutting a PUMA deal.

Kanye was pissed but says he's over it, but you gotta think secret deals between members of the brood won't create warm feelings.

Caitlyn Jenner seems to be taking a page out of daughter Kylie's playbook by getting into the cosmetics biz.

We've learned Caitlyn recently filed a trademark for exclusive rights to hawk makeup under her name.

It's not just cosmetics ... Jenner's application covers fragrances, makeup remover, nail polish, and skin care.

Cait doesn't have a clear plan on how or when she will break into the beauty business. She wanted to secure the trademark before anyone else got the idea.

It's a smart move considering Kylie's insanely popular lip kit line sold out in seconds.
