Lil Boosie Kim K. Is Great for Prison Reform ... I'm Down to Help Too!!!
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'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.

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.

D.L. Hughley Trump's Using Alice Johnson!!! No Real Prison Reform
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.
As we first reported, Alice will meet Kim face-to-face soon.

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.

Ben Simmons Hits Dinner without Kendall ... After Kissing Pic
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
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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.'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.

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