Boosie
ALL FOR IT
TMZ.com

Lil Boosie says he's got no problem with Kim Kardashian meeting President Trump to discuss prison reform, and as an ex-inmate himself ... he's sure other prisoners would back her efforts too.

We got Boosie Tuesday at Atlanta's Lenox Square Mall and he joked about why Kim's the perfect spokesperson for unjustly convicted inmates -- something about many of them enjoying her body of work.

On a serious note, he applauded her impassioned efforts to get Alice Marie Johnson's sentence commuted, and it seems she's inspired him. Boosie, who's admittedly not a Trump fan, told us he'd even be down to do his part -- with one caveat.

Boosie and Trump? Imagine that Oval Office photo op!

Kanye West House Party with Kim, Cudi and Pusha For His 41st Birthday

Kanye West's birthday celebration, at his and Kim Kardashian's mansion, was a lot like a Kanye album -- it featured tons of superstar guest rappers ... and heavy doses of 'Ye himself.

Kanye's birthday was Friday, but the turn up went down Saturday night in his Hidden Hills palace .. where he kicked it with Pusha T and Kid Cudi, whose album with Kanye, "Kids See Ghosts" just dropped.

Of course, there were plenty of family members there, too -- Kim, Kendall Jenner and Kourtney.

The birthday cake was a re-creation of the Wyoming mountains on 'Ye's latest solo album cover.

Best of all, his guests had a choice ... of cookies with the many faces of Kanye. Just the happy ones, though. It's his birthday, after all.

Alice Marie Johnson was so inspired by Kim Kardashian West's efforts to spring her from a life prison sentence that she wants to help Kim do the same for others.

We spoke with the 63-year-old great grandmother, and she told us Kim was truly the difference maker in President Trump's decision to commute her sentence.

Not only did Alice offer love and praise for KKW -- even calling her an official member of the Johnson family -- Alice says she's down to help Kim in her fight for prison reform and to free anyone given unfair sentences.

As we reported ... Kim's been on a mission for Alice for months, working and communicating with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump even before the White House meeting. As we first reported, Alice even sent a heartfelt thank-you note to Kim last year ... long before her freedom was a done deal.

We also asked Alice what she's most looking forward to outside of life behind bars ... let's just say it's nothing money can buy.

Khloe Kardashian Got VIP Treatment at Cavs Game ... To Support Tristan

Tristan Thompson's Cavs ain't doin' so hot, going down 0-3 to the Warriors Wednesday night ... but his family?? That seems to be doing WAYYY better.

Khloe Kardashian continued to show her support for her baby's daddy by showing up to Game 3 despite TT being a bum off the court ... and kinda one on it too.

Remember, Khloe wasn't so sure about sticking by Tristan after the cheating scandal rocked her right as their baby was being born ... but, so far, she's been ride or die with him -- sportin' the CLE shirt and getting backstage access Wednesday night.

Now ... if Thompson could just figure out his on-the-court game ...

Kim Kardashian West Finally Meeting Alice Face-to-Face

Kim Kardashian West will come face-to-face with the woman she helped to free from prison ... TMZ has learned.

Alice Marie Johnson had her life sentence commuted on Wednesday by President Trump after spending 22 years behind bars. Kim championed Alice's release with the help of her attorney, Shawn Holley ... communicating for months with Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

Sources close to the situation tell us Kim and her team are working to arrange a meeting with Alice that could happen as early as this week.

Our sources say Kim will most likely travel to Alice -- not vice versa -- as the great-grandmother adjusts to life outside of prison. Moments after she got out, Alice told reporters she was thankful and felt as if her life was starting over again.

As we reported, Kim visited the White House last week for a meeting with 45 about Alice's situation and prison reform in general.

Kim says Alice is just the first of many unfairly sentenced people she hopes to help regain freedom.

NOT IMPRESSED ...
TMZ.com

D.L. Hughley isn't giving President Trump an ounce of credit for letting Alice Johnson out of prison, 'cause he says it amounts to nothing more than sleight of hand.

We got the comedian leaving Mastro's in Bev Hills Wednesday night, and he says Trump commuting Johnson's sentence is essentially a Three-card Monte game ... all trick, no real results.

D.L. thinks Alice and her champion, Kim Kardashian, were simply a good photo op -- while Trump's still making other moves that fly in the face of real prison reform.

He might have a point about the big picture, but for her part ... Alice has expressed nothing but gratitude to Kim and Prez Trump since her release yesterday.

Alice Marie Johnson wasted NO time catching up with her loved ones, moments after she was released from prison ... courtesy of President Trump and Kim Kardashian West.

Alice was driven a short distance away from Alabama's Aliceville Correctional Facility, and bolted into the arms of loved ones waiting for her on the roadside.

As we reported ... the 63-year-old great-grandmother's case became national news after Kim tweeted about it. She was sentenced to life in prison for first time offenses of money laundering and drug conspiracy.

Kim K made it her mission to set Alice free, and finally got to discuss it with POTUS last week. Kim got to break the good news to Alice ahead of Trump granting her clemency -- and Alice shared her gratitude with reporters.

Kim Kardashian West Mission Accomplished Alice Johnson Freed

11:27 AM PT -- Kim just revealed she was the one who shared the good news with Alice, saying, "The phone call I just had with Alice will forever be one of my best memories. Telling her for the first time and hearing her screams while crying together is a moment I will never forget."

Her attorney, Shawn Holley, added, "I just got off the most wonderful, emotional and amazing phone call with Alice, Kim and Alice's lawyers ... It was a moment I will never forget."

10:24 AM PT-- KKW just released a statement, saying, "I’m so grateful to President Trump, Jared Kushner and to everyone who has showed compassion and contributed countless hours to this important moment for Ms. Alice Marie Johnson. Her commutation and forthcoming release is inspirational and gives hope to so many others who are also deserving of a second chance."

She continues, "I hope to continue this important work by working together with organizations who have been fighting this fight for much longer than I have and deserve the recognition."

Kim Kardashian West's fight to free imprisoned grandmother Alice Marie Johnson is over -- President Trump has granted her clemency ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources tell us the Prez signed off on Wednesday, and Alice will soon be released from the Aliceville Correctional Facility in Alabama. We're told she's heading straight home to be with her family.

As we reported ... KKW met with Trump last week at the White House to talk prison reform and about Alice's case. She and her attorney, Shawn Holley, were working with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner for several months on Johnson's case.

Kanye's recent public support of Trump probably had some influence on 45's decision, as well.

The 63-year-old grandma's case became national news last year when Kim tweeted about it -- she was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges ... her first offenses.

Many expected Johnson to be released in December 2016 when Obama granted clemency to many similar nonviolent offenders ... but Alice was passed up. Not long after, Kim K started pushing hard to make it happen ... and Alice wrote her a heartfelt thank-you note.

TAKIN' THE KARDASHIAN KUE
TMZSports.com

Ben Simmons was flying solo in Hollywood on Tuesday ... with no Kendall Jenner in sight after she was spotted making out with another dude in NYC.

Ben and Kendall had been pretty inseparable lately ... with dinners and bike rides all around town.

But, after Kendall sucked face with 18-year-old Anwar Hadid -- Gigi and Bella's little bro -- seems the Philadelphia 76ers superstar is ready to move on.

Ben hit up Catch in West Hollywood -- one of the hottest restaurants in town and a paparazzi hornet's nest ... where stars often go to be seen.

Seems he wanted to make a statement without having to say anything.

Meanwhile, there are now reports Ben's ex-girlfriend, Tinashe, is moving on too -- allegedly hanging out with Kendall Jenner's ex-BF, Blake Griffin.

Gotta love Hollywood, right?

Bobby Kennedy's Daughter Changes Tune on Kardashians ... Offers Political Guidance

FAMILY TO FAMILY

Kim Kardashian has a chance to use her influence for the good of the nation, just like Robert F. Kennedy did ... that is, if she heeds the advice of one of RFK's daughters.

We got Kerry Kennedy, Bobby's 7th child, on Capitol Hill Tuesday -- the eve of the 50th anniversary of her dad's assassination -- and asked what she thinks of the Kardashian sisters wading into politics.

It's a great question for Kerry, in particular, because she let out a hearty laugh when we raised this topic in 2013. Kerry was highly amused by our comparison of the Kardashians and the Kennedys back then.

WE DON'T COMPARE!

However, on the heels of Kim's White House visit lobbying Prez Trump to commute Alice Johnson's prison sentence ... Kerry's no longer laughing. In fact, she offered the K fam guidance on how best to conduct themselves in the political arena.

You'll recall, Kourtney was also in D.C. recently working toward environmentally-friendly cosmetics.

No, they're not the Kennedys -- but even RFK's daughter acknowledges the Kardashians seem to have their hearts in the right place, and thanked them for getting involved.

Kendall Jenner Sucking Face With Gigi & Bella's Little Brother

1:40 PM PT 6/6 -- Our sources say the two aren't dating or anything serious ... they were just having some fun while out with friends. We're told there's no bad blood with Kendall, Bella and Gigi.

Kendall Jenner is living her best (single) life -- kickin' it with NBA star Ben Simmons one day ... and locking lips with Gigi and Bella Hadid's brother the next.

Kendall was spotted smack-dab in the middle of a heavy makeout sesh early Tuesday morning with Anwar Hadid at a CFDA Awards after-party in NYC. You can tell it's him from the bleach blonde hair he was sporting at the event. Plus, Kendall took a photo of his tattooed hands herself.

Eyewitnesses tell us Kendall was hangin' with Anwar at Socialista New York for about 2 hours -- kissing, cuddling and drinking with the youngest Hadid sibling the whole time. She ended up heading back to her hotel by herself around 4 AM or so ... no Anwar in sight.

WHATCHA HIDING?
Backgrid

Remember, Kendall was on a bike riding date with her rumored new flame, Ben, the day before in L.A. They've been hanging together a lot lately ... post-Blake Griffin. As for Anwar, we're told he and his gf split last month.

And, get this ... nearly two years ago, Kendall posted a pic with Hadid -- when he was just 17 and Kendall was 20 -- and the caption, "dibs?"

What makes this especially interesting ... Kendall has never -- as far as we can see -- shown this level of PDA with the people she's dating.

Khloe Kardashian Gesundheit, True!

060518_true_kal
CUTENESS OVERLOAD

There's no denying Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson make super cute babies, because 2-month-old True could make anyone's heart melt ... although, she needs a tissue.

Khloe shared a video Tuesday morning of True propped up on a couch dolled up in a pink tutu and giant bow. The tiny model definitely looks more like her dad. She got his nose, but she's got her mom's knack for entertaining when the camera's on her.

You'll see what we mean when she lets out a ferocious, mouse-like sneeze.

Get this kid a contract ... along with her cousins North, Saint, Chicago, Dream, Stormi, Penelope, Mason and Reign. God, they make a ton o' kids.

Scott Disick & Sofia Richie Still Got My Boo ... In the 'Bu!!!

The only rocks Scott Disick and Sofia Richie's relationship is on are the ones on the beach in Malibu, because that's where they stepped out to show the world they're still going strong.

The couple hit up Nobu Monday for lunch. Definitely for the food, and also for the cameras. It's where ya go when you wanna be seen ... together. Remember, Scott himself made it seem they were dunzo -- we know he was telling people last week at Kanye's party he's a single man. Plus, he was photographed getting close to a mystery woman.

We broke the story ... Sofia wasn't happy about the incident, but she's basically over it. Proof positive -- they left Nobu together in his drop top Rolls.

Nothing says we're back on like make-up sushi and sashimi.

Sofia Richie & Scott Disick Still Together Despite Him Saying He's 'Single'

Sofia Richie and Scott Disick aren't over yet -- despite multiple reports saying otherwise, and a photo of Scott cozying up with another chick last week ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us Sofia and Scott have not broken up, and are still very much together -- contrary to what other outlets are reporting ... that they'd supposedly split.

We're told Sofia certainly wasn't happy with the photo of Scott getting handsy with a mystery chick at Kanye's album listening party Thursday night in Wyoming -- but she hasn't pulled the plug on their relationship. As for Scott and that girl ... they're just pals.

Sources say Scott has known the woman for years, and that holding her at the party was nothing sexual ... and only lasted a few minutes. They also did not go home together. Regarding him telling people at the party he was single ... we're told that was the booze talking.

Long story short ... Scott and Sofia are still an item. So, don't count 'em out quite yet.

Kendall Jenner & Ben Simmons Dating an NBA Player ... It's Like Riding a Bike

It's been about six months since Kendall Jenner was linked to a rumored NBA BF, but as her biking date with Ben Simmons shows ... you never forget how to date one of 'em.

Kendall was seen getting her ride on this weekend with the 76ers star point guard -- on a bicycle, folks ... relax. Eyewitnesses tell us they were cruising near The Grove in West Hollywood Sunday -- and we gotta say ... Kendall looks like the pro out of the two.

She's got solid form, AND she's got a purse on her, too, which looks perfectly in sync with her body. Much improved from 2016, when she ate s*** riding down a dirt road.

GOIN' DOWN

Ben, meanwhile, looks a little too big for his own bike here ... perhaps struggling to peddle, even. The dude is like 6'10", though ... maybe raise the seat next time, yeah?

Either way, it's nice to see Kendall switch up the activity for her 3rd NBA pal. Can't say we ever saw her hit the outdoors like this with Blake Griffin, or Jordan Clarkson either.

Ben must be special.

T.I. On Kim K Meeting Trump: Better Her Than Me

060118_ti_kal
IT'S A START
TMZ.com

T.I.'s on board with Kim Kardashian West lobbying President Trump on prison reform ... a feat he applauds, because someone needs to talk some sense into him.

We got Tip out in Bev Hills on Thursday and asked him about Kim K's White House visit with POTUS earlier this week. As we reported ... Kim's been in talks with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kusher to get Alice Marie Johnson's life sentence commuted.

Check it out ... T.I. says as long as Kim K has her facts, it's a good start in getting a dialogue going at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. T.I. feels strongly ... he would never have such a meeting himself and thinks Meek Mill did the right thing bailing on Trump last month ... because they'd just be selling out.

The way T.I. sees Kim's visit ... baby steps.
