3/24 10:00 AM PT -- We're told the employee who was injured was a guy in his early 20s who worked for Adidas, and was involved with working on Kanye's Yeezy shoes. He was helping move a large 3D printer when it fell over on his foot.
An employee at Kanye West's company suffered a severe leg injury on the job, and it was so bad he had to be airlifted to the hospital ... TMZ has learned.
Sources at the Calabasas Tech Center -- where the rapper's office is located -- tell us ... the man was transporting a heavy piece of machinery Friday, possibly used for making Kanye's Yeezy shoes, when it fell over and landed on his foot.
We're told he let out a loud scream and was stuck under the equipment for several minutes, and it took at least 7 people to lift it and remove his foot.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... they responded to a call about the incident after 5 PM, and confirm people were able to lift the machine off the guy when they arrived, but his injury was so bad it required airlift transpo for emergency medical care.
The extent of his injury is unclear at this time.

Kim Kardashian My Snaplight Lawuit's Dismissed ... IT'S FULLY LIT!!!!
Kim Kardashian has one less legal headache to worry about after apparently striking a settlement with SnapLight over illuminated phone cases.
SnapLight and Kim's company -- Kimsaprincess, Inc. -- filed docs to have the lawsuit tossed out of court. As we reported, SnapLight had sued Team Kim for $100 mil, claiming she got in to bed with LuMee to sell the phone cases -- using tech Snalight created years earlier.
According to the docs, the suit can't be refiled, and we're told Kim's side is thrilled with the outcome. However, that doesn't necessarily mean any money was exchanged. Worth noting ... Kim's dismissal comes on the heels of LuMee and SnapLight dismissing a separate, but related lawsuit.
You may now resume taking your perfectly lit selfies.

Lamar Odom No Bad Blood with Khloe's Sisters ... Most of Them, Anyway
Lamar Odom didn't bolt in the other direction when he ended up face-to-face with Khloe Kardashian's sisters -- he actually went out of his way to have a convo with them ... TMZ has learned.
We broke the story ... Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner walked into Mr Chow Thursday night in Bev Hills while Lamar was already there enjoying a meal. Obviously, severe awkwardness could have ensued, but sources in the restaurant tell us LO walked up to their table.
We're told the former in-laws all chatted and exchanged positive words. It wasn't a lengthy meet and greet -- Lamar was on his way out -- but a family source tells us the sisters were happy to see him out and doing well. We're told all 3 feel no bad blood toward Khloe's ex.
It could have been way different if Kim or Khloe were there -- at least based on the major shading that went down earlier this year. Lamar did an interview saying his marriage was over when Khloe moved on to "her second or third NBA player." Kim fired back it was over when he got caught at his "second or third brothel."
No such fireworks, though, from Kylie, Kourt and Kendall. As our source put it, "Everyone has moved on with their lives."

Lamar & Kardashian Sisters All Under The Same Roof Again
Lamar Odom had a close encounter with his former in-laws -- Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie -- when they all hit up the same Bev Hills hot spot.
Kourtney and Kendall arrived first Thursday night at Mr Chow ... and Kylie showed up next -- around 8:30 PM -- with her bff, Jordyn Woods. The interesting part, and we gotta imagine neither party had a clue, was that we got Lamar exiting the restaurant around 8:45 PM.
The timing makes it seem like he got the hell outta dodge once he saw Khloe's sisters float into the joint. We don't know if they actually crossed paths, but we're willing to guarantee they did NOT break bread.
In any event, Travis Scott showed up a little later to join the ladies, and the whole gang left an hour later, and they were pretty vocal on the way out.
As they say ... SMALL freakin' town.

Kylie & Travis Squeeze the Day Without Baby Stormi
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott started their Tuesday morning right ... with a blast of fructose, and a little break from Stormi.
The new parents were spotted hitting up a Jamba Juice in WeHo around 9:45 AM PT. We're told they walked out with matching drinks -- 2 small Aloha Pineapple smoothies, plus an order of oatmeal.
They did not bring their 7-week-old daughter, Stormi, along for the ride. Can't really blame 'em, though ... newborns need their rest, and new parents need some free time, every now and then.
There were rumors just before Stormi's birth that Travis and KJ had broken up, but since then we've seen them catching some QT whenever possible ... like they did a couple weeks ago on a boat in Miami.

Kardashians Save Watts Empowerment Center ... It's For the Kids
The Kardashians have a deep connection to L.A., and it manifested itself in a big way Friday when the fam rescued a 24-hour community center that was about to shut its doors because of a lack of funding.
Kris, Kim, Kourtney and Corey Gamble were on hand Friday as they received "The Key to Our Hearts" for saving the center. It was about to close its doors because of nationwide budget cuts ... Watts was being hit especially hard and needed private funding to survive.
We're told they donated over $100,000 dollars and built an entire new community center equipped with a basketball court, full kitchen, new TV's, and more than 20 new Apple laptops for the learning center.
Kris wants badly to raise money to build a baseball diamond and grass field so the children will have something fun and meaningful to do. The Community Center has been a safe haven in an area where gangs are strong.
We're told Kris is setting her sights on building a new playground for the kids on a huge piece of property near the Center.
Kudos to the Kardashians.

Drake Signs Point to Kanye Rendezvous For Wyoming Recording Sesh
Drake may very well be making an appearance on Kanye West's next album because there are some MASSIVE, rocky hints he's in Wyoming, too.
Drake's personal photographer and videographer, Theo Skudra, shared footage on his Instagram story Thursday that looks exactly like the same place where Kanye's been holed up working on new music. Pay attention to the railing.
As we reported, Kim Kardashian joined her hubby in Jackson Hole last week while he worked on new music. Kim posted several pics from the trip -- one of which is above.
Travis Scott, The Dream, NAS, Kid Cudi and others also joined Ye on the trip for one massive collaboration.
If Skudra's pic holds any proof that Drake's in town to work, Yeezy's next release is about to be a big one.

Kim Kardashian & Kris Jenner This is How We Roll at Lorraine Schwartz's Bash
Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner laid off the jewelry ... while attending celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz's soiree.
Kim and Kris hit up Lorraine's bash Tuesday night at Delilah in WeHo to celebrate The Eye Bangles launch ... a new addition to her signature Against Evil Eye Collection. While Kim and Kris chose the minimalist road ... that certainly had no bearing on the fact they were THE main attraction in a sea of celebs, who were out in full force.
This party's guest list was insane ... Usher, Pharrell, Alessandra Ambrosio, Sofia Vergara, Sharon Osbourne (so THAT'S where she was) and on and on and on.
Pretty cool moment when the DJ cranked out the obligatory "Yeah!" track ... with Usher front and center partying like it was 2004. Yeah, Rita Ora was digging it.

Caitlyn arrived in her $176k tricked out purple Porsche 911 GT3 RS (NICE!) ... and Kurt showed up in his $500,000 Ford GT supercar (REALLY NICE!).
Both Caitlyn and Kurt are car fanatics -- and were both impressed with each other's whips.
We're told Jenner and Busch know each other through mutual friends and Kurt has invited Caitlyn to some of his events.
The bigger question ... who would win in a race?
Caitlyn's Porsche can go from 0 to 60 in 3.1 SECONDS!
Kurt's Ford GT? 2.9 SECONDS!!!!!!
Bottom line ... both of these cars will SMOKE whatever you drive. So, don't get any ideas!

Kardashian Fam Played Jackson 9 ... In Celeb Softball Game!
You think the Kardashians would suit up and play softball against normies? Hell no -- the team they faced was Tito Jackson's family!!!!
That's right ... Kim, Kourtney, Kris and the rest of the Calabasas Peaches faced off against "Tito's Team" -- led by team captain Tito Jackson, his sons T.J., Taryll and Taj and the rest of their families.
The best part ... Tito ditched the traditional baseball cap for a bowler hat because #fashion.
So, who won the big game? Our sources tell us the Jackson family emerged victorious ... shocking for a couple of reasons. First, it's the Kardashians' show, and also because the Kardashians reached out to 14-time MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez for coaching help!
Then again, A-Rod later admitted he sucks at softball.

J Lo's boyfriend showed up at the field Thursday and suited up for Team Kardashian -- aptly named the Calabasas Peaches -- featuring Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kris, Kendall and some other friends including Jonathan Cheban.
They were up against a team in red while cameras rolled for their show. We know Kendall and Kourtney got some practice swings in earlier this week ... we'll have to wait and see if it paid off.
Alex hit up Craig's in West Hollywood after the action where he admitted he's terrible at softball -- but says the game went well.
It's not the first time Alex and the Kardashians have crossed paths ... they hung out at Jenny's crib for a "Taco Wednesday" party during the holidays.

Kris Jenner Stumped After Paps Make Her Laugh!!!
Kris Jenner tried answering our questions with a straight face. She did at first, but then we had her cracking up ... then just baffled.
Kris and her bf, Corey Gamble, hit up Mr Chow Wednesday night in Bev Hills and we wanted to know -- who's better at baseball? You'll recall we got the Kardashian brood at a ballpark hitting line drives.
The momager -- who btw is wearing a Gucci mink coat that retails for $58k -- quickly answered. But, check out what she's got to say when we ask her if Travis and Kylie should move in together. It was a case of the giggles ... again.
Then, the big one -- would the Kardashians ever cryogenically freeze themselves? Uhhh.

Kris Jenner Hooks Khloe Up with High-End Baby Stuff
Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian took a mother-daughter shopping trip for baby gear -- and Grandma spared no expense loading up Khloe and Tristan's spawn with the good stuff.
We spotted all 3 -- mom, daughter and baby bump -- out in WeHo Wednesday hitting up various baby stores, and we're told Kris dropped at least $8k on goodies and furniture ... just in ONE place!
Our sources say they hit Petit Tresor to scoop up 3 giant stuffed giraffes. We know, we know ... how much for the giraffes in the window? We're told Kris dropped $3,600 just for those. She also purchased a pink nursery glider chair, with matching ottoman, for $4,200 -- and threw in another $550 for a silver high chair.
That'd be plenty for anyone, but we're told their spree continued at several other boutiques ... so, God only knows what the total damage was.
As we reported ... the TMZ Celebrity Tour bus happened to drive by while the ladies were shopping, giving fans quite a sighting.
