STARTING EARLY

North West had a distinctly Michael Jackson vibe Saturday as she marched down the runway at a celeb fashion show.

The 5-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made her modeling debut at the L.O.L. Surprise Fashion Show in Santa Monica.

She wore what looks like a "Thriller" getup as she walked the runway with purpose.

There were other celeb offspring as well ... Busy Philipps' daughter, Birdie, and Sara Foster's daughter, Valentina, were also front and center at the children's fashion event.

Kim and Kanye have been in Chicago and have been spending lots of time there ... this after Kanye said he and the fam were moving to Chicago. As we reported, they will keep their L.A. home and shuttle back and forth, but Kanye's serious about planting roots in the Windy City.

Khloe and Tristan Don't Believe False Rumors ... We're Solid

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson showed solidarity Friday night by clasping hands at a birthday party.

Khloe and Tristan showed up with Kourtney for the 21st birthday bash of Kylie Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods.

There were stories out this week about Tristan hanging out without Khloe at a Hollywood nightclub until the wee hours of the morning. There were some reports he was hangin' with a couple of pretty brunettes, but our sources say there was barely any interaction.

That said, Khloe and Tristan showed a united form at the party.

Kylie Jenner Handsy with BFF ... She's Turning 21 Too!!!

Kylie Jenner brought the glamour and her BFF Jordyn Woods brought the glitz -- and together, the dynamic duo painted the town.

The ladies were all dolled up to get a head start on Jordyn's birthday celebration. She turns 21 Sunday but kicked things off Thursday with dinner at Petite in L.A. ... before heading off to Poppy.

Kylie turned 21 over a month ago and clearly couldn't contain herself at the thought of her BFF coming THIS close to legal drinking age. They capped off their dinner with a small chocolate cake and giant sparkling candle. Nope, no cereal ... with or without milk.

Bottle service was flowin' later that night -- at least for Kylie, who held up a giant poster with Jordyn's face on it.

BIRTHDAY BASH

They're obviously tight. Remember, Jordyn was front and center in Kylie's birth announcement and they're nearly inseparable -- except for that one time Jordyn flaunted the goods down in Mexico.

Happy turn-up!!

Sean Patrick Thomas Kylie's Doing it Wrong ... Put Breast Milk on That Cereal!!!

KIDS THESE DAYS
TMZ.com

Kylie Jenner passing on milk in her cereal makes total sense to Sean Patrick Thomas and Aonika Laurent, but they have a new, healthier, recommendation for her next bowl.

We got the "Save the Last Dance" star and his wife Wednesday night leaving Craig's in WeHo, and asked if Kylie's no-milk rule -- until this week, she claims -- is unique, or just a thing among millennials. They say it's not uncommon ... their own kids aren't down with the moo juice either.

SPT had a few explanations for the no-milk trend, but Aonika offered a great alternative -- straight from the boob! Before you shoot it down ... watch the video. Aonika might have a point.

As for kids who avoid milk in cereal to dodge dirty dishes -- these parents have a word of advice. Suck it up and wash a bowl!

Kylie Jenner Almond Milk Co. Says ... You'll Never Go Dry Again!!!

Kylie Jenner is about to go from milk-less to milk overload thanks in part to her very public decree over how to drench her cereal.

Jenner sparked the equivalent of a social media riot Tuesday when she tweeted, "last night I had cereal with milk for the first time. life changing." She also posted a series of videos talking about the whole ordeal and even suggested she might get adventurous in her future cereal endeavors, with almond milk.

While Jenner's statement may not have been totally true -- we did some HEAVY Instagram digging -- one almond milk company wants to make sure Kylie's flakes are never dry again.

An Almond Breeze rep tells us the company had actually been preparing to reach out to Kylie to supply her with a few samples of product ... but Tuesday's cereal video set that plan into high gear.

The rep tells us they're getting ready to ship out a mini gift package to Kylie ... and you can bet there will be plenty to float her cereal.

Kylie Jenner Cereal Liar?!!?

MILKING IT

Kylie Jenner SAYS she hadn't tasted one of life's greatest delights -- cereal with milk -- until this week, but she's cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs because we found out ... she's been on the milk for years! Or at least once.

Kylie sang the praises of moo juice Tuesday, posting on Twitter, "last night I had cereal with milk for the first time, life changing."

But, we have some Trix up our sleeve because we went back in time on Kylie's Instagram account and, lo and behold, on April 25, 2013, Kylie was lyin' past-her-eyes.

She posted a pic of a delicious bowl of what looks like bran flakes with MILK!!! Bran makes you regular ... a regular fibber. BTW, we're guessing the "he" in her caption is her dad, who famously appeared on Wheaties boxes after getting a gold medal in the 1976 Olympics.

Now ... there are some who may say it's not milk in the bowl ... it's yogurt. But, yogurt leaves a residue on interior sides of the bowl, and this bowl looks clean on the sides.

Call us lactose intolerant ... we'll wear that badge! And in case you wanna weigh in yourself ... let us know what you think is in that bowl.

Is that milk or yogurt in Kylie's Bran Flake bowl?

Kylie Jenner Wait!!! Cereal is Good WITH Milk???

Kylie Jenner being a near-billionaire at the age of 21 ain't the most impressive thing in her life -- that distinction falls to a bowl of cereal and milk. Idle rich, much?

Kylie is seriously blown away by discovering the joy of WET cereal -- Tuesday she tweeted, "last night I had cereal with milk for the first time. life changing." Her flavor of choice was Cinnamon Toast Crunch with regular milk ... she did not specify 1%, 2% or skim, but says she's considering branching out to almond milk. Slow down, sista.

MILKING IT

As you'd expect, her 26 million followers are floored she hadn't discovered this at ANY point in her 21-plus years on the planet but, hey ... she's been busy. While you were choking down milk and Lucky Charms, Kylie was creating lip kits, buying houses and enjoying her cereal dry.

Wait 'til she figures out butter on toast. #simplethings

9:35 AM PT -- Cinnamon Toast Crunch has just responded with a little love of their own.

Kourtney Kardashian's Ex Younes Bendjima Sued ... After Alleged Beatdown on Coachella Security Guard

Kourtney Kardashian's ex-boyfriend Younes Bendjima is being sued after he allegedly attacked a security guard at Coachella who refused to let him enter the restroom with Kourtney.

Mario Herrera says he was working the music festival back in April and stationed at the single-gender male restrooms. According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Herrera says Kourtney attempted to enter the restroom and Herrera told her that was not permitted.

Herrera claims that sent Younes into a rage, causing him to pick Herrera up, slam him against a wall and shout expletives.

The lawsuit claims Herrera's injuries were so bad, he had to be treated at a hospital. He's suing for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence. Herrera's lawyer, Jack K. Kechichian, tells TMZ ... "Being a celebrity does not excuse bad conduct. You can't go around hurting people who are just doing their job and that’s all Mr. Herrera was doing, his job."

You'll remember back in March, Younes was caught on surveillance video outside Delilah in West Hollywood attacking a staff member as Drake and Odell Beckham Jr. looked on. A lawsuit has not yet been filed in that case.

As for this lawsuit ... Herrera is asking for no less than $5 million.

Kanye West I'm Moving to Chicago!!!

BACK TO MY ROOTS
@JamesTylers

Kanye West is moving to Chicago ... but that doesn't mean he's abandoning L.A.

Kanye made the announcement Monday at a Windy City event with Chance the Rapper, saying, "I gotta let y'all know that I'm moving back to Chicago and I'm never leaving again."

We know a thing or two about the latest development, and it has nothing to do with Kanye fleeing Los Angeles, where he lives with Kim Kardashian West and their 3 kids.

Sources close to Kanye say he and Kim have already found a home in Chi-Town and that's where we know he wants to establish his permanent residence, but they are keeping all of their properties in L.A.

In addition to the house they just built, they have multiple properties in L.A., including 300 acres that Kanye is developing, and that project is still a go.

We're told Kanye will move his Yeezy offices from Calabasas to Chicago.

It's a little confusing, but we're told Kanye views it this way ... that he will have a home base in Chicago, but apparently he believes he can have more than one home base.

You'll recall ... Kanye launched Donda's House -- named after his mom -- in Chicago in 2013. It's a place for artists to develop their skills and collab with others.

Kim Kardashian West It's Babypalooza!!!

Get ready for your "awwwwww" jaw to drop ... because Kim Kardashian West's latest Instagram pic is pretty dang cute.

Kim shared a photo of all 3 of the Kardashian family baby girls -- her daughter Chi on the left, Khloe's daughter True in the middle, and Kylie's daughter Stormi on the right -- sitting on a soft, fuzzy carpet together looking up at ... something that caught all their attention.

Kim captioned it "The Triplets" with heart emojis ... and also tagged her sisters in the pic.

If you're keeping track, Chicago is 8 months old ... True is 5 months ... and Stormi is 7 and a half. No word why Stormi's the only one wearing shoes.

Story developing ... (just kidding)

Congressman Ted Lieu Kim K's Doing Great With Prison Reform ... Trump Should Do More

KIM AIN'T THE ONLY ONE
TMZ.com

Ted Lieu thinks Kim Kardashian is doing stand-up work with clemency and prison reform, but the congressman says Donald Trump should be swayed by more than just beautiful celebs.

We got Ted outside the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, and he called on the President to become more active in pardoning prisoners who are getting a raw deal from draconian drug sentences.

It's great Kim appears to have DT's ear when it comes to freeing prisoners, Ted says, but Trump needs to be more willing to listen to voices outside the celebrity realm.

Ted says he's called for a full review of Trump's pardon authority, and explains why the President should be more balanced in the clemency process.

Ted also shares his thoughts on Kim's future in politics -- they're both from California -- and gives her some additional issues to tackle.

Cardi B Kim K for Prez? We've Had Talks!!!

CARDI B FOR VP
TMZ.com

Cardi B wants to join forces with Kim Kardashian West ... as her vice president!!!

We got Cardi outside The London NYC on Thursday and asked about Offset's hope for a potential Kim K presidential run ... and Cardi reveals Kim's been thinking about politics for some time.

She strongly insinuates she and Kim talked about the presidency, and tells us that's the real reason why Offset says he'd vote for KKW.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Cardi and Kim kicked it back in early August, so we're thinking that's when they chopped it up about politics. Kris Jenner was there too, and you know she's always got something in the works.

If Kim really is serious about running for President, sounds like Cardi B sees herself as potential VEEP material.

Offset Kim K for Prez!!! She's Helping Black People

090618_offset_kal
SHE'S GOT MY VOTE
TMZ.com

Offset wants to see the first female president in U.S. history ... but he's not talking about Hillary Clinton. Try Kim Kardashian!!!

We got Offset Thursday in the Big Apple ... and the rapper tells us Kim would get his vote based purely on her impassioned work on prison reform -- something he takes very personally.

Offset's been in jail in Georgia multiple times for weapons charges and weed possession -- so, he's 100 percent behind Kim's fight to free prisoners, especially because she's helping black people.

Kim and Kanye 2020?!?!

We also asked Offset about baby Kulture and his wife, Cardi B, and he dropped some hints about when we'll get to see them both in public.

Good news ... it could be sooner than you think!!!

Ex-Judge on Kim Kardashian West Way More Than a Face ... She's Really Influencing Justice

090518_kevin_sharp_kal
SHE'S A SMART COOKIE
TMZ.com

Kim Kardashian West seems to have a powerful pull over President Trump's administration, and she's using it for good ... according to an ex-judge very connected to her cause.

We spoke to former Tennessee judge Kevin Sharp Wednesday in D.C. after his White House meeting with Kim, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and, eventually, the President -- and he says the haters are way off base if they think Kim's only there as window dressing.

Sharp says they had further discussions about criminal justice reform, and not only was Kim was smart and very involved ... she's the right person to seal the deal.

Judge Sharp says Kim's success with Alice Johnson proves she's incredibly effective in a process that would normally take months, because of the public attention she can bring.

By the way, Kim's latest mission -- to get clemency for Chris Young -- is a special one for Sharp. He's the judge who resigned after Tennessee laws forced him to give Young a life sentence for drug possession.

It's clear, he's now happy to be championing reform, and even happier to have Kim on his team.

Kim Kardashian Doing Amazing Work on Prison Reform ... Says Activist Jason Flom

DOING SOMETHING INCREDIBLE
TMZ.com

Kim Kardashian's star power isn't just window dressing, it's exactly what the prison reform movement needs ... according to activist Jason Flom, who's been doing the work for decades.

Jason praised Kim for her Wednesday meeting with President Trump, saying her push to free prisoners serving draconian sentences has been "transformative."

Jason, a successful recording exec, has put in 25 years working on prison reform, and believes the movement is nearing a tipping point ... thanks, largely, to Kim and other celebs drawing so much more attention to it.

Kim is turning her focus to the case of 30-year-old Chris Young, who is serving a life sentence in Tennessee for cocaine and weed possession.

Kim previously helped free imprisoned grandmother Alice Marie Johnson. Jason recalls the satisfaction he felt after freeing his first prisoner, and believes Kim is feeding off that same positive vibe.

Kim Kardashian West Trying to Free Another Prisoner Serving Life for Drugs

FREE CHRIS!
"Wrongful Conviction" with Jason Flom

Kim Kardashian West was serious when she said she was going to make prison reform her thing, because she's trying to free another inmate who is serving a life sentence for drug possession.

Kim was on the podcast 'Wrongful Conviction' and said her new cause is freeing a guy named Chris Young, a 30-year-old man who is just under 10 years deep into a life sentence for cocaine and weed possession.

Kim says she spoke with Chris on the phone and now seems to be trying to do for him what she did for Alice Marie Johnson, who was freed after Kim lobbied Donald Trump.

She also says she's in regular touch with Jared Kushner, whom she calls "passionate" about prison reform.

And then there's this ... Kim says she's been in touch with the former Tennessee judge who sentenced Young to life. She says he resigned in part because he couldn't in good conscience continue to execute laws that were draconian.
