Kendall Jenner Alleged Stalker Booted from USA ... Possible Tragedy Averted

Kendall Jenner just got a little peace of mind -- her alleged stalker who crawled up onto her property has been kicked out of the country.

John Ford -- the 38-year-old Canadian citizen who twice showed up at Kendall's home last year -- has been deported from the U.S. following his hearing in El Paso, Texas. Good news for Kendall, because authorities feared he could get violent.

We broke the story ... Ford was arrested by ICE in New Mexico in March after the law enforcement agency hunted him down.

Jenner's alleged stalker's had an expired visitor visa and was in the country illegally, and after his arrest an ICE spokesperson told us it "very well have prevented a violent crime," adding ... "Our special agents acted quickly on this tip to ensure that this obsessive behavior didn't escalate to become a tragedy."

As we reported ... Ford scaled a hill at Kendall's home last October and ended up by her swimming pool. He came back again shortly thereafter and ended up on her porch.

The alleged stalker was reportedly escorted by officers from El Paso to the Houston airport and flown out of the U.S. to Ontario, Canada.

Kylie Jenner & Jordyn Woods On Speaking Terms ... Brief Chat in Nightclub

Kylie Jenner's drama with Jordyn Woods is far enough behind them for them to say hello to each other in public -- but Tristan Thompson is STILL on their no-fly zone.

Kylie, Jordyn and Tristan were all partying Friday night at Bootsy Bellows, and people inside the nightclub tell us Kylie and Jordyn spoke with each other briefly inside the VIP area.

We're told Kylie was inside for about half an hour, and Jordyn was there for about 20 minutes ... and in that small window, KJ went down from her top-level section to say hi to JW, who was in a lower section.

The former BFFs flashed smiles as they said hello, and we're told their interaction wasn't awkward at all. As one source put it, the "good vibes" were flowing. Kylie and Jordyn weren't alone, there were some mutual friends around to help break the ice.

As you know ... Kylie and Jordyn's super close friendship ended back in February after Jordyn hooked up with Tristan at a house party. In the fallout, Khloe broke up with her baby daddy once again, and Jordyn was kicked out of Kylie's guest house.

BESTIE'S BIRTHDAY

So, all eyes were on Kylie and Jordyn as they made their way to Bootsy Bellows for the birthday bash of their longtime pal, Stassie Karanikolaou ... and things got even more interesting when Tristan popped up.

Tristan -- who was rolling with Drake, NBA baller Jordan Clarkson and Shaq's son, Shareef O'Neal -- walked up to Kylie and Kendall's section ... but we're told Kylie didn't talk to him, only Kendall did. Our sources say TT and Jordyn didn't communicate either.

By all accounts, Kylie's peace summit with Jordyn went well and it seems like they're getting more comfortable being around each other. They say time heals all wounds ... it's been about 6 months for the ex-friends.

Rob Kardashian Pulls HALFWAYDEAD Merch After Accusation He Stole Design

Rob Kardashian is pumping the brakes on a new fashion line, because he's been accused of stealing a crucial design for it -- so now he's gotta pivot.

Fans of independent street artist Rx Skulls -- who is well known for a signature toothy skull design -- recently alerted him directly to a new line of hoodies and pins that Rob's own line, HALFWAYDEAD, was advertising on social media.

Check out the side-by-side comparison ... the skull logo Rob slapped on his sweaters looks eerily similar to the Rx one -- and, apparently, Rob thought so too.

Sources close to Rx tell TMZ ... he and Rob's team got in touch with each other, and put the issue to bed amicably. We're told Rx was even offered an explanation about how his skull design ended up on the hoodies and other merch.

It all worked out in the end though... our sources say Rob's company deleted the photos of the hoodies and pins that featured the skull design, and promised Rx it wouldn't peddle the merch.

No harm, no foul ... we're told Rx was good with that.

Rx Skulls itself alluded to the situation as well, saying the issue had been resolved ... and went on to thank their fans for the overwhelming amount of support and help.

As for Rob? Back to the drawing board, we guess.

Kylie Jenner My Sisters' Exes Mark the Spot ... Tristan, Ben Show Up at Same Club

AWKWARD RUN-IN
TMZ.com

So, the ex-boyfriends of Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner walk into a bar, but Kylie Jenner's already there -- there's no punchline here, just a weird night in West Hollywood.

Kylie was hanging out inside Delilah nightclub well after midnight Thursday morning when NBA stars Tristan Thompson and Ben Simmons rolled in shortly before 2 AM ... aka closing time.

They didn't stay too long -- 5 minutes later, Simmons bolted ... maybe because he saw Kylie, maybe because it was closing? A few minutes later, Kylie and Tristan took off too ... separately, mind you.

Unclear if Kylie had any interaction with Kendall and Khloe's ex-BFs, but as they say ... Hollywood's a one-horse town.

As you know ... Khloe and her baby daddy had a major falling out in February when Kylie's BFF, Jordyn Woods, hooked up with him. And, Kendall and Ben reportedly broke up a few weeks back.

As an added bonus, French Montana -- who also dated Khloe in 2014 -- was at the club too, but left right before Simmons and Thompson arrived.

Almost like it was a fraternity meeting.

Rob Kardashian Instagram Ban is Still in Place ... Despite New Account Promo

Rob Kardashian's Instagram ban is still in full effect -- he has NOT returned to the social media platform, despite what some believed after Kris and Kourtney promoted an account bearing his name.

Peeps on IG went into a frenzy Tuesday when his mom and sister told people to follow @robkardashianofficial ... but we've learned Rob isn't allowed to be the person behind the account.

Honchos at Instagram tell TMZ ... @robkardashianofficial is an official fan account being run by "Jenner Communications," and there are certain rules and guidelines in place to ensure Rob can't turn it into his own account.

Here's how strict and specific those rules are -- the bio and captions can't be written in the first person, Rob can't upload posts himself, it must be managed by someone other than Rob and he can't create any of his own content for the account.

As you know ... Rob got booted from IG in 2017 after posting nudes of his ex, Blac Chyna, forcing him to take his social media game to Twitter and Snapchat.

The fan account's first post was on July 5, 2018, but it sat dormant until this past May ... and now it's getting more and more active.

Instagram big wigs tell us Rob is still very much BANNED ... and there are NO plans to lift the ban any time soon.

Kylie Jenner Sexy Sea-Through Malibu Shoot!!!

Kylie Jenner got wet and sandy for her latest sexy photo shoot, and everyone on the beach -- and probably a few off of it -- got to feast their eyes on her billionaire booty.

Kylie flaunted her flawless figure on the beach in Malibu, showing off her endless curves in a thong underneath a see-through wrap skirt. The beauty mogul wasn't afraid to get down and dirty, rolling around in the sand and posing on some rocks to get the perfect shot.

It wouldn't be a beach day without some bikini action ... and Kylie's wardrobe change did NOT disappoint. It's not everyday -- or any, really -- that you see a self-made BILLIONAIRE looking like this. No offense to Warren Buffet.

Check out the gallery ... just the latest evidence Travis Scott's got it made.

Kylie Jenner Stormi Rushed to Hospital for Allergic Reaction ... '100% Okay Now'

Kylie Jenner had one of those moments all moms fear this weekend, but fortunately her little one is back home and doing fine.

Kylie revealed her Sunday was spent in the hospital with her daughter, Stormi, who she says suffered an allergic reaction. She described the scary incident, saying ... "Nothing else matters when these things happen. God bless all the moms with sick babies. I'm sending so much love and positive energy your way."

The good news is her 16-month-old baby with Travis Scott is "100% okay now" ... and she posted a pic of Stormi recovering and sleeping at home.

Stormi's medical scare clearly moved her mom ... Kylie shared a photo of the sun setting over her backyard with a child's play set and captioned it ... "blessed beyond words. thank you God. i believe in being reflection of what you'd like to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want success, wish success."

Kylie's recently referred to her daughter as the best thing she's ever done, and added ... "I really feel like my life didn't start until I had her."

Kim Kardashian Pisses Off Victim's Mom ... Cooper's Guilty and He's Using You!!!

Kim Kardashian's mission to help convicted murderer Kevin Cooper prove he's innocent is enraging the mother of one of his victims, who says Kim needs to read up on the mountain of evidence that shows Cooper is guilty as sin.

Mary Ann Hughes tells TMZ she was disgusted to see Kardashian embracing death row inmate Cooper in photos -- "It makes me feel sick to my stomach and I pity her. For what she's doing to us, there's nothing to justify what she's doing to us, the immense pain she is causing us."

She added, Kim "obviously has not read all of the actual evidence -- she has bought into half truths perpetrated by the defense. If she actually sat down and read the transcripts of all the trials and appeals, she would be sick to her stomach to be in the same room with him."

Mary Ann's 11-year-old son, Christopher, was sleeping over at a neighbor's home in Chino Hills, CA back in 1983 when he was murdered. Cooper was convicted of using a hatchet to slay the neighbors, Doug and Peggy Ryen, their daughter Jessica and Christopher. The Ryens' 8-year-old son survived the attack.

Kim has been on a remarkable mission -- alongside multiple high-powered attorneys -- to help non-violent drug offenders get early releases from prisons. She started with Alice Marie Johnson's release last year, and has successfully freed 17 more inmates in recent months.

But, Mary Ann says Kardashian's on the wrong side this time and believes Cooper's attorneys "are using her for her reality show status because they can't use the truth to try to help Kevin Cooper. The truth just condemns him."

As we reported, Kim went to visit Cooper at San Quentin prison on Thursday, and she's successfully lobbied California Governors Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom to order additional DNA testing in Cooper's case. Kim says she hopes the results will show Cooper is innocent. He's long maintained he was framed.

Mary Ann says it's absurd for Kim to think the "pile of evidence" against Cooper was planted. She says he's "100 percent guilty and the evidence shows it. If you want the whole truth, read the 94 page document on the website of the San Bernardino County D.A." ... which was filed in response to Cooper's last attempt to win clemency.

Mary Ann points out a woman who claims Cooper raped her in 1982 in Pennsylvania testified against him during the murder trial -- something she thinks Kim needs to know. "She portrays herself as being for women's rights and for the women's movement and yet she is supporting a rapist and a murderer."

As for whether Mary Ann wants a chance to educate Kardashian on the case -- absolutely not. She says, Kim "has not reached out to us. I would not even want to talk to her. My opinion of her is about as low as it goes because of what she's putting my family through ... dragging this through the press on a non-stop basis."

Kim Kardashian Death Row Meeting Strategy ... Complete Exoneration

Kim Kardashian stopped by San Quentin's death row this week with one mission in mind ... figuring out what's needed to prove inmate Kevin Cooper was framed for a slew of heinous murders.

Cooper's attorney, Norman Hile, tells TMZ ... Kim spent 2 hours speaking with him and Kevin, and their conversation mainly focused on what can be done to clear Cooper's name beyond new DNA testing.

As we first told you ... Kim dropped by one of America's most notorious prisons Thursday to speak with Cooper, a 61-year-old man who was sent directly to death row after being convicted of committing 4 heinous murders in Chino Hills, CA in the '80s. He's always proclaimed his innocence.

Kim's been successful in lobbying 2 California Governors, Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, to order additional DNA testing in Cooper's case ... but Thursday's meeting went way beyond the science of DNA.

Kevin and his attorney told Kim they're gunning to find evidence that could fully exonerate Cooper ... including docs related to the original prosecution, reviewing old witness testimony and finding new witnesses.

It's interesting ... Cooper could get his conviction thrown out by showing a significant error in his trial, but he's gunning to prove way more -- innocence. It would be a stunning reversal of fortune after 36 years awaiting death.

Cooper's attorney tells us their message clearly got through to Kim, and they're hoping she can use her celebrity to bring more attention to Kevin's case, as she's done with dozens of other inmates who recently gained their freedom.

In fact, the meeting went so well ... we're told it ended with a group hug.

Khloe Kardashian I'll Be Your Prom Date!!!

060119_khloe_kardashian_prom_kal
HOT DATE

Khloe Kardashian says she's not into dating these days, but she made an exception Friday night for a dude who will surely freeze his boutonniere and make it a lifelong keepsake.

Khloe went to prom with a high school student named Narbeh ... we don't know his last name, but he goes by Narbeh Kardashian.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

In case it's not clear to you, dude's a super fan and KK decided to make his life by sauntering into the Castaway restaurant in Burbank, where there was an appropriate amount of gawking by Narbeh's fellow students from Hoover High School in Glendale, CA.

Narbeh runs a Stan account called @NarbehKardash which has 236,000 followers, so he has plenty of Kardashian kred. He regularly posts pics of the fam ... matriarch on down.

Turns out Narbeh and Khloe aren't strangers. He met her last December at a fan event. And, she's sent him birthday messages in the past.

A good time was definitely had by him.

Kim Kardashian Spends Day at San Quentin's Death Row ... In Effort to Free Kevin Cooper

5:33 PM PT -- Kim just posted a photo from her visit, saying, "I had an emotional meeting with Kevin Cooper yesterday at San Quentin's death row. I found him to be thoughtful and honest and I believe he is innocent of the crimes for which he was convicted."

Kim Kardashian was on San Quentin's death row Thursday ... on a mission.

Kim, sporting a noticeably baggy black jumpsuit, took her prison reform efforts on the road to one of America's most notorious prisons ... with the goal of freeing an inmate who has been awaiting death since 1983.

61-year-old Kevin Cooper was convicted of committing 4 heinous murders in Chino Hills, CA in the '80s and sent directly to death row. Between then and now, the death penalty was suspended, reinstated, there was a gas chamber and then death by lethal injection ... and all the while Cooper sat waiting to die, always proclaiming his innocence.

As we reported ... back in October, Kim asked then-Governor of California Jerry Brown to look into Cooper's case because of evidence Cooper has been framed. Brown's ordered DNA testing, in no small part due to Kim's campaign. California's new Governor, Gavin Newsom, ordered additional testing in February.

Newsom's waiting for final DNA test results, but Kim decided to pay a visit so she could have her first face-to-face with the guy she's trying to free. Kim, who wore all black, spent 2 hours with him and is more convinced than ever he was framed.

As for now ... Cooper will not face execution, because Governor Newsom is a death penalty opponent who has suspended all executions while he is in office.

We're guessing Cooper's happy to have KK on his side ... Kim and her legal team have freed 17 inmates gaining freedom over the past few months.

Lamar Odom Brothel Owner Tried to Kill Me ... In 2015 Incident

"HE TRIED TO KILL ME"
The View

9:32 AM PT -- We spoke with Odom on the way out of "The View" and asked him why he thinks Hof tried to kill him. Odom says he's still trying to find the answers.

COULDN'T TELL YA
TMZSports.com

9:03 AM PT -- Lamar Odom claims the late owner of the Nevada brothel where he OD'd in 2015 tried to kill him ... and Odom says his legal team already has proof to back up his claim.

Odom just appeared on "The View" where he said Dennis Hof -- who owned the Love Ranch -- "tried to kill me."

Long story short ... Odom is adamant he did not intentionally consume any drugs -- including cocaine -- on the day of his overdose and he believes Hof (or someone working for Hof) poisoned him.

"Dennis Hof, I don't know what he had against me but I didn't do drugs that night," Odom said.

"I don't know what he had against me ... he tried to kill me."

Odom says his attorney has already investigated the allegation and found workers at the brothel who back up his claim.

Hof died in October 2018 -- but in 2016, he told TMZ Sports he was a fan of Odom and invited him back to the Love Ranch for the VIP treatment.

MY HANDS ARE CLEAN
TMZSports.com

We've reached out to Hof's reps regarding Odom's attempted murder claim -- but so far, no comment.

As we previously reported, police who investigated the 2015 overdose say prostitutes at the Love Ranch told them they had heard Odom snorting substances before the OD and had a "vague knowledge of him using illegal narcotics."

Investigators later confirmed the presence of cocaine in Odom's system -- but clearly, Odom says he did NOT knowingly take drugs that night.

TAKIN' IT TO THE BIG SCREEN
TMZSports.com

Lamar Odom says he believes his wild life story is fit for the big screen -- and he's already had talks about turning his new autobiography into a movie.

Odom was arriving to "The View" in New York on Tuesday to promote his new book, "Darkness to Light" -- in which he talks about everything from drug addiction to sex addiction to his failed marriage with Khloe Kardashian.

Odom says he's already spoken with people about turning his story into a movie but didn't say who those talks were with.

He's not wrong ... Odom went from being an NBA superstar to a reality star before hitting rock bottom ... when he overdosed at a Nevada brothel in 2015.

Odom suffered several strokes and heart attacks and doctors didn't think he'd fully recover.

But, Odom beat the odds and now he's getting ready to play professional basketball again with the BIG3 league.

It's an amazing story ... and it seems like it's only a matter of time before it gets the full-length feature film treatment.

Jay WIlliams Lakers Are Kardashians of NBA

CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS
TMZSports.com

The L.A. Lakers might as well start sellin' lip kits and flat tummy tea, 'cause Jay Williams says there's so much drama surrounding LeBron's team, he's dubbing them "the Kardashians of the NBA."

And, he ain't saying it as a compliment.

It's been a dumpster fire of an offseason for the Lakers ... with Magic Johnson going scorched earth on Rob Pelinka and accusing him of some old fashioned backstabbery. They fired Luke Walton and struggled to get a replacement coach.

And, of course, Lonzo Ball has Big Baller Brand drama.

Williams says things in LakerLand have gotten so bad, the team is starting to resemble the Kar-Jenners more than an NBA organization.

"I feel like we talk about everything but their on-court play ... that's kind of a signature of a lot of drama."

Williams says he still doesn't understand Magic's reasoning behind leaving the team ... and the very public breakup is gonna have players second-guessing whether they wanna be around that come free agency.

LeBron James' lip kit would be dope though ...

77th Formula 1 Grand Prix Celebs Descend on Monaco

The 77th Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monaco was riddled with celebs.

The legendary race went down Sunday and there were tons of celebs who clearly knew they were on display, including Kris Jenner, BF Corey Gamble, Olivia Culpo, Winnie Harlow, Chris Tucker, Odell Beckham Jr., and Patrick Dempsey.

There was a famous winner ... Lewis Hamilton edged out Red Bull's Max Verstappen to win the honors on the last of the 3-day event. As for Max, he got socked with a 5-second penalty which bumped him to 4th.

Interesting ... no shots of Kendall Jenner and Luka Sabbat, who were in Monaco over the weekend on jet skis. Pretty clear they've got something going. They were at the Cannes Film Festival before hopping over to Monaco.

Jordyn Woods London's Sure More Welcoming than Calabasas

Jordyn Woods and her mother, Elizabeth, surfaced for the first time since Kylie Jenner said her former BFF really "f***** up."

Jordyn and Elizabeth were leaving a London hotel Saturday night, looking kinda stoic. The Kardashian sisters went in on Jordyn in a big way for the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" promo. It was emotional and sure felt real.

Kylie recently let Jordyn back into her guesthouse to move out her belongings, which seems to be the final chapter, at least for now.

Jordyn's been in London several times recently to promote her Eylure lash line. She's also hawking a clothing line.

Life goes on.

Kendall Jenner Bird's the Word in Moncaco ... I'm Riding w/ Luka Now!!!

11:58 AM PT -- As if hanging with Luka didn't send a clear enough message ... check out what Kendall sent to the cameras (and possibly Ben?) later in the day while hanging with Bella Hadid.

This could just be two gals having fun and flipping off paps for kicks, but considering Ben's season has been over for a minute now -- it could also be the nail in the coffin for these two. Here's hoping Ben's working on that jump shot in the meantime ...

Kendall Jenner tooled around one of the richest nations in the world ... with a guy with she's clearly getting super close -- Luka Sabbat.

Kendall and her fellow model jumped on jet skis Saturday ... this after also hanging out at the Cannes Film Festival earlier in the week. She was there for a big party, and apparently, Luka was there for the ride.

It's clear, Ben Simmons is now in Kendall's rearview, and her fellow model Luca seems to be a quick replacement.

There were rumors Luka was tied to Kendall's sis Kourtney, but Kourtney said recently they were just friends, clearing the decks for Kendall.

As for why they're in Monaco ... the Grand Prix starts Sunday, and Kendall's there for the festivities.
