The Kardashians

Kendall Jenner celebrated her 22nd birthday Thursday night, surrounded by friends and family with notable exceptions ... sisters Khloe and Kylie.

Both sisters are pregnant, so it's understandable why they skipped out on dinner at Petite Taqueria in WeHo. Kylie especially has been keeping an unusually low profile.

There was still a strong showing ... Kim, Kanye, Kris, Kourtney and her bf Younes Bendjima, Hailey Baldwin and Caitlyn were all there.

O.J. Simpson's taking a transphobic shot at Caitlyn Jenner for her claim she and Kris Jenner knew damn well O.J. killed Nicole and Ron Goldman.

Simpson was out in Las Vegas when a photog asked him about Caitlyn's recent comments. At first, he said he's never met Caitlyn and claims he barely knew Bruce, despite the fact they vacationed together. Then he started jabbing.

Watch ... O.J. seems to think his comment is lighthearted, or even a joke.

We're guessing Caitlyn won't be laughing about it, and we're sure, after seeing this ... there's bad blood between the old friends.

Btw, O.J. also makes it clear he's loving the Vegas life.

Getting to trick or treat in the Kardashian's hood is kinda like getting into the hottest club in L.A. ... you're gonna need to be on a list or know someone on the inside.

Thousand flock to their exclusive gated The Oaks community where Kris, Kourtney, Khloe, Katie Holmes and Tamar Braxton have homes, and once you see the video Kardashian pal Larsa Pippen shared from the inside, it's not hard to see why.

Residents go all out converting their garages and front yards into haunted mansions and spare no expense. This year someone even had a mock Ghostbusters car parked out front.

Oaks residents can invite any outsiders as long as they put their name on a list with security. We're told an extra 20 or so security guards and off-duty cops are hired to deal with the extra crowds and sometimes the line to get through the gates alone can take up to 2 hours for guests.

Halloween might be over, but there's still 364 days to make friends in The Oaks before next year.

Hillary Clinton's going full Kardashians by passing on questions about the big story of the day -- Paul Manafort's indictment -- and instead choosing to plug the hell out of her new book.

Hillary was at a signing session Monday in Chicago for her book, "What Happened" ... and when she was asked about Donald Trump's ex-campaign chairman ... nothing happened. She smiled and went into sales mode.

It's exactly the kinda move we frequently get from Kris Jenner's brood and others in Hollywood -- "You'll have to watch the show." As we reported, Manafort and his protege were indicted as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged ties between Trump's campaign and Russia.

Kim Kardashian gave the appearance she's going back on her word to swear off flashy jewelry in public, but it was nothing but a trick ... TMZ has learned.

Kim was wearing a couple of diamond rings over the weekend as part of her Cher costume at George Clooney's and Rande Gerber's Casamigos party. Seemed odd because she promised to tone down the bling after the Paris robbery.

Thing is ... those rings weren't even close to the real McCoy. Our Kardashian sources tell us Kim was, appropriately for Halloween, wearing nothing but costume jewelry.

Word. Kept.

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian took the cake for costumes Saturday night in Bel Air.

Kim got Madonna on the nose, and Kourtney did an impressive Michael Jackson. They were headed to a party in the fanciest of areas of L.A. when photogs got the pic.

The way the story goes ... Madge and MJ dated back in the day. Madonna once brought Michael as her date to the 63rd Academy Awards ceremony back in 1991, and that was the inspiration for the costumes.

Kendall Jenner kinda jammed out at a Migos concert but spent at least as much time yakking with friends.

Kendall showed up at Camp Flog Gnaw, a music festival thrown by Tyler the Creator. You see Tyler and Kendall at the beginning of the clip. She clearly knows lots of people there.

Sounds like a fun night ... Mac Miller, Lana del Rey, Tyler the Creator, and Vince Staples all performed.

Kim Kardashian will NEVER be able to outrun the stench of her sex tape -- despite her family signing a $150 MILLION reality deal ... so says UFC champ Tyron Woodley.

With Conor McGregor expected to make $100 mil this year -- we had to ask who's had the more impressive career ... and Woodley explained why it's CONOR all the way.

It's all part of Tyron's new show, "The Hollywood Beatdown" -- where Woodley also reveals what happened when some DUMBASS tried to fight him a house party.

Kim and Kanye were moody after her birthday dinner -- as in no mood to talk.

We got them leaving Carousel Restaurant Thursday night after a shindig that, from the look of videos Kim posted, seemed like a fun time.

Kim -- who celebrated her 37th birthday Saturday -- was surrounded by friends and family, including mama bear Kris Jenner and her man, Corey Gamble. Kourtney and Kendall were also there.

Check it out ... Kris was all smiles leaving the party and even answered our guy's question about Kanye's appearance on 'KUWTK' next season. Kim and Kanye ... not so much.

The mood was much different inside the joint, obviously.

Kylie Jenner just threw down millions for a very well-placed pile of dirt, and it's the first sign the mom-to-be could be looking to expand ... TMZ has learned.

Kylie scooped up the plot of land adjacent to her $12 million Hidden Hills home for a cool $5 million ... ALL CASH! The corner lot is about 1.5 acres, and we're told the plan is to turn it into a garden and possible barn with horses since there's a ton of horse trails nearby. Although nothing's set in stone yet ... the purchase gives KJ plenty of room -- 3 acres when combined with her current crib.

She could also build a badass playground for that baby she's got on the way.

As we told you, the Kardashians just signed a new $150 million TV deal -- and while the elder sisters are getting a bigger chunk of the deal, Kylie's obviously more than making due.

Kylie's go-to realtor, Tomer Fridman of Compass, helped her seal the deal.

Khloe Kardashian's blouse buttons are working a little harder these days -- the mom-to-be is passing on traditional maternity duds, and sticking with her high fashion to cover her belly.

Khloe was out in NYC Thursday morning looking fancy while "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cameras rolled ... giving us our first look at her baby bump. See? She really is pregnant.

Looks like she opted for a venti at Starbucks -- she's sippin' for 2 after all.

Khloe's reportedly expecting a boy with Cavs star Tristan Thompson, and must be feeling more lavish than usual ... $150 million TV deals will do that to ya.

Lucky fetus.

Kourtney Kardashian's launch party for her collection at PrettyLittleThing was a who's who of Hollywood -- except for one of "America's Next Top Models" ... who had security saying "who?".

A flock of A-listers arrived to Poppy in WeHo Wednesday night to support Kourt's launch of her PrettyLittleThing collection, and there were lots of familiar faces -- Diddy, Wiz, Christina Milian ... you name it.

No one was down to chat a whole lot -- not even about George H.W. Bush's alleged groping -- except for Don Benjamin ... who says he got the boot from security at the entrance.

Don tells us he apparently wasn't famous enough to attend, even though he got invited. That's too bad ... looks like it was lit inside with Diddy taking the mic.

Hard to tell who enjoyed Kim Kardashian's birthday party more -- Kim or her kids, since they all let loose in a big way all over Disneyland.

Kim's entourage -- North, Saint, Aunt Kourtney, Larsa Pippen and their kids -- roamed the Anaheim park on Tuesday ... complete with VIP tour guides and bodyguards, of course. The triple digit temps didn't seem to bother the krew.

She's 37 now, but Kim looked more like a carefree 7-year-old while riding Dumbo, the Gadget's GO Coaster and the Monsters Inc. ride.

E! Network execs still know where their Kardashian bread is buttered, which is why Kim, Kourtney and Khloe are getting the lion's share of the fam's new $150 million deal ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources predict 50 - 60% of that 5-cycle deal will be split between the 3 oldest sisters -- despite the fact lil sis Kylie Jenner has gained immense popularity and success since their last contract. Think about it ... Kylie's the only one with a spin-off currently, and she's the only sister who rivals Kim's social media presence.

Still, as one source put it, "It's called 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'" -- and that show has a formula that works: focusing on Kourtney, Khloe and, of course, the OG ... Kim, who our network sources say still gets more than everyone else.

Kylie's next in the dough line though -- thanks to her show. As for Kendall ... she's busy traveling and modeling all the time -- so less screen time translates to a smaller share. Ditto for Rob, despite no modeling or traveling.

We're told the next generation isn't part of the $150 million deal ... but we're told if the young 'uns, born and soon-to-come make an appearance they'll earn some coin too.

As we first reported, master negotiator Kris Jenner gets her 10% managing fee ... a paltry $15 million. Job well done.

Kris Jenner knows how to work it ... because as well as scoring $150 million in the Kardashian's new E! contract, she's pocketed $15 million in manager's fees.

It's standard operating procedure in Hollywood for managers to take a fee. Fact is ... Kris is giving her fam a break with a 10% fee, because many managers get 15%. Plus she's the one who negotiated the deal, which is 50% higher than the last one the family signed with E! in 2015.

In this case, of the $150 million, $15 mil will be taken off the top for Kris. As we reported, the remaining $135 million will be split among the family as they see fit. And remember ... Kris gets a piece of that pie.

As we told you, the $150 million covers all services provided by the family, and is payment for 5 cycles -- or seasons -- which will take them through 2019.

Gotta hand it to her.

The Kardashians just re-signed with E! network and are pocketing $30 million a season ... for 5 seasons, which comes to $150 million, TMZ has confirmed.

Sources familiar with the deal tell us E! made an overall deal with the famous fam ... in TV lingo, the Kardashians were re-signed for 5 cycles -- each cycle is a season.

The contract is a package deal ... E! is paying for all services rendered by the Kardashians. It's a bump from their 2015 contract, in which they got $20 mil a cycle for 5 cycles -- total $100 mil.

Our sources say the Kardashian deal is structured so that the family decides how to split up the money amongst themselves.

The deal takes the Kardashians into 2019.
