Lamar Odom Joins 'Celebrity Big Brother' Cast ... UFC's Miesha Tate, Too

Lamar Odom is going back to TV -- the former Lakers star will be joining the cast of "Celebrity Big Brother" this season ... where he'll be competing for a $250,000 cash prize.

The series announced Odom will be a guest for its third season on Thursday ... releasing a video on social media introducing all the celebs who'll be living under the same roof for the competition.

"My name is Lamar Odom [and] people may know me for winning two championships with the LA Lakers," Odom said in his intro.

"They also may know me for marrying Khloe Kardashian. We had our own TV show. Our own reality show."

Odom is no stranger to television -- when he was still married to Khloe, they had their own show, "Khloe & Lamar" ... which was a spinoff of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

Speaking of Kardashians ... CBB will have another guest who has a tie to their family. Shanna Moakler -- whose ex-husband, Travis Barker, is engaged to Kourtney Kardashian -- will join Odom in the house.

Other notable guests include UFC star Miesha Tate, NSYNC singer Chris Kirkpatrick, SNL's Chris Kattan and 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star, Cynthia Bailey.

Lamar made more than $114 million during his NBA career ... but recently opened up about his struggles with money management -- even going to Kobe Bryant to help him get out of a gambling debt.

The new season of CBB kicks off next week.

Kim Kardashian & Pete Davidson Billionaire's Dinner Party At Jeff Bezos' L.A. Estate

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson certainly aren't cooling off, now attending fancy dinner parties at the home of one of the richest men in the world -- Jeff Bezos.

The bicoastal couple was spotted arriving at Bezos' L.A. estate Tuesday night in Kim's car, where we're told they spent several hours with Jeff.

After the event, our sources say Kim and Pete were seen arriving together at Pete's hotel in Beverly Hills.

Of course, it would appear things are getting pretty serious between Kim and Pete ... they're spending more and more time together -- with Pete almost becoming a regular on the West Coast.

A source with direct knowledge tells us he's been working in L.A. recently, and appears to find any excuse to mix work and play in order to spend the most time with Kim as possible.

Unclear exactly what was discussed at dinner, but Bezos isn't the only heavyweight Kim's been with this week ... she was spotted at Hot & Cool Cafe with Chelsea and Hillary Clinton Monday.

The trio was together to film an episode of the Clinton's new show "Gutsy Women" for Apple TV+. Hot & Cool has made providing healthy food options to underserved communities a mission, as well as employing former inmates ... a passion project for Kim as well.

Kendall Jenner Here's What You Do When You're Snow Bored ... Pose in a Super-Sexy Bikini!!!

Kendall Jenner has figured out a way to make frigid weather fun ... or at least fun to look at.

The reality star stopped ski traffic for sure -- and definitely snowboard traffic -- posting photos of her posing in a skimpy black bikini and black shades. Her caption ... “Wim Hof said ice baths” ... a reference to the extreme athlete and Dutch motivational speaker.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Wim is known for his ability to endure extremely code temperatures... and clearly, Kendall feels she can follow in his footsteps, with big boots that is.

Well ... maybe Kendall's inspired lots of others to do the same, because she got more than 9 million likes.

BTW ... she's a really good snowboarder as she proved hitting the slopes, before hitting up an Andy Warhol exhibit at a local art museum. She got a taste of Aspen too, dining at some local eateries.

Devin Booker was with Kendall in Aspen for a time, but apparently, he had already left. And Kendall's already left Aspen as well.

Eazy-E Kanye Diss Song Lives Up to My Dad ... Says Daughter Ebie

Kanye West did Eazy-E proud with his new diss song aimed at Pete Davidson -- so says the late MC's own flesh and blood, who hears the "gangsta" coming through on the record.

We got Eazy's daughter, Ebie, in L.A., who told us Ye and Game's new track, 'Eazy,' gets two big thumbs up from her ... and a cosign on behalf of the EE family at large, it seems. The reason ... she thinks her dad's street vibes and spirit are reflected in the song -- thus, living up to his legacy.

EAZ-ILY A FAN
TMZ.com

If you didn't know, 'Eazy' samples Eazy-E's famous single "Eazy-Duz-It," which isn't necessarily a song aimed at anyone in particular ... but definitely dabbles in G things.

With that in mind, Ebie says Kanye paid proper homage to her pops ... 'cause she thinks the single is pretty damn vicious -- which seems to be the overall consensus. Ebie has a lot of love for Ye here ... telling us he can't do any wrong in her eyes, and that her father would've absolutely loved contributing to this if he was still around.

As you've probably heard by now ... Ye announced, through the new track, he wants to beat Pete's ass, but the bigger takeaway seems to be what he said about Kim and their kids. If anything, it's more of a Kardashian diss than a PD diss -- 'cause KW got a lot off his chest about his estranged in-laws.

He claimed the Kardashians take too much credit in raising their respective broods, claiming the kids are mostly being brought up by cameras and nannies ... instead of "real family."

Kanye also took some shots at his kids ... who, he suggests, are spoiled and raised to get everything they want. Whereas the Kardashians prefer to pamper their little ones, Ye raps about preferring an old-school parenting approach (Top Ramen reference FTW) ... and Ebie digs it!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Ebie was young when her dad passed, but it sounds like she can see the value in Ye wanting his children to come correct as they grow ... even if it means a little tough love.

Kylie Jenner Gets Permanent Restraining Order Against Obsessed Fan

Kylie Jenner got another layer of protection after a judge ordered an obsessed fan to stay clear of her for 5 years.

Kylie's been dogged by a guy who's been showing up at her Holmby Hills home over the last year. He was arrested in December after violating a temporary restraining order by going to her house and buzzing the gate.

Kylie's lawyer, Shawn Holley, filed legal docs to make the restraining order permanent, and the judge obliged ... so the fan is prohibited from going near Kylie or otherwise harassing her.

It's not the only obsessed fan Kylie's dealing with. Another guy showed up near Kylie's house, flowers in hand, to propose to her. He ended up on a neighbor's property by mistake and was arrested for misdemeanor trespass.

All of the Kardashians have had issues with obsessed fans and stalkers ... some have actually entered their homes. Really scary.

Amber Rose Disavows 'Kartrashians' Tweet ... Amid Kanye Drama

Kanye West's Kardashian drama has folks eyeing something Amber Rose said years ago ... but she's here to speak for herself on the issue, instead of letting the past do the talking.

Ye's ex took to Instagram Sunday after a 2015 tweet of hers resurfaced this weekend and went viral ... one in which she wrote at the time, "@kanyewest I'll leave that up to the Kartrashians to humiliate u when they're done with u."

The harsh message was in response to a back and forth Kanye and her were having back then -- this after he dissed her on 'The Breakfast Club' by saying he had to take 30 showers to rid himself of her, well aura ... just to be able to move on and get with Kim.

In light of the nasty accusations flying amid Kanye and Kim's divorce today, the Internet gleefully pulled this old thing out of the grave ... and let the jokes fly, at the expense of Ye and Kardashians.

But Amber doesn't want anything to do with that ... so says the woman herself. She says while never got an apology for Kanye's mean showers remark, AR says she's not sulking in 2015 anymore ... and even acknowledges what she said about Kim and co. was wrong.

She says a lot of good came out of those bitter times, including the creation of the Slut Walk -- something she started to help women feel unashamed of their sexuality. Amber also writes, "Kim nor her sisters deserved that tweet and y'all shouldn't co-sign that either."

Amber goes on to say she was younger and more immature back then, while emphasizing they're the KarDASHians, not -trashians, as she previously suggested. She finishes by saying she wants to do nothing but spread love and positivity in her life from now on ... that's all.

Kanye West I Had a Great Time at Chicago's Birthday Bash ... Thanks to Travis Scott Giving Me the Address

THANKS FOR THE INVITE
HOLLYWOODUNLOCKED/SHUTTERSTOCK

Kanye West was all smiles after attending his daughter Chicago's 4th birthday party, but there's some shade he's throwing in the process.

Kanye seemed thrilled he was able to show up to the shindig but said it was Travis Scott who told him the party was being thrown at Kylie's home. He also thanked Kris and Corey ... and Kylie for letting him in, but made no mention of Kim. He also groused that security stopped him briefly at the door.

He was clearly happy, saying his kids are the priority in his life ... and you can see and hear he really seems to mean it. We're told he spent about 2 hours there.

The party looked super fun, and Kanye is smiling as he chatted with some of the guests. You can see Kanye and Kim in the same shot, but they are not together.

TAKING CONTROL OF THE NARRATIVE
HOLLYWOODUNLOCKED/SHUTTERSTOCK

As we reported, Kanye accused Kim earlier in the day of keeping him from seeing Chi on her birthday -- he says she refused to give him the address of the party -- and claimed it was an example of how fathers have been kept out of the family unit.

Our Kim sources say this was a simple case of crossed signals, and she never wanted to exclude him. The sources say Kim and Kanye discussed having 2 parties for Chicago, and Kanye was supposed to throw the second one after 4 PM when he picked her up.

All's well that ends well -- ish.

Kanye West Finally Lands at Chicago's Party ... After Public Accusations

UPDATE

1:50 PM PT -- All's well that ends well (we think), because Kanye finally made it to Chicago's birthday party after all -- the result of what sounds like more of a mix-up than sabotage, as Ye suggested.

UPDATE

Sources close to the ex-couple tell TMZ ... Kanye was supposed to have Chicago all to himself at 4 PM today, so when he started railing about not being invited to her bday party with the Kardashians, Kim was surprised ... as we're told they'd previously discussed hosting two separate events for her, and she thought Kanye would be doing exactly that upon picking her up.

UPDATE

In any case, he's there now ... and even chatting up his mother-in-law, Kris, in what looks to be a somewhat cordial setting.

TAKING CONTROL OF THE NARRATIVE
HOLLYWOODUNLOCKED/SHUTTERSTOCK

Kanye West is taking his bitter divorce with Kim Kardashian to a whole new level -- claiming she's purposely keeping him from seeing his daughter on her own birthday ... and doing it on video, no less.

Ye went live with a message Saturday -- the day of young Chicago's 4th birthday -- with a bold allegation ... namely, that Kim and co. are refusing to give him the address to Chicago's party, which has KW shaken up and almost on the verge of tears.

Check out the video ... the guy appears to be driving himself around town, seemingly in search of the shindig that he says will not be disclosed to him, no matter who he talks to.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

He notes he hasn't talked to Kim and/or her nannies ... but does say he's talked to Tristan Thompson, who apparently told Ye he'd have to run it by Khloe Kardashian first. As a result of what Kanye perceives as a snub, he's wishing Chicago a happy 4th birthday publicly.

He continues to go on a rant about how fathers have been kept out of the home/family unit for ages, and even with all his money ... he still finds himself in that position. However, Kanye says he's not going to let that happen if he can help it, asking for public support.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Some quick clarifying background on what's going on here and what's the latest ... sources tell us he felt excluded because the original invite he got was pretty vague, and did not include a specific location. With that said, we're told it's been sorted out ... and that Ye is actually on his way to the party now.

Still, this comes off as just the latest barb in Kanye and Kim's divorce war. We've been told Kim is trying to be reasonable with him about custody, and only asks for clear communication and scheduling.

Meanwhile, Kim posted a big birthday tribute for Chicago ... as did her mom, Kris Jenner.

Kanye West's New Song My Kids Are Spoiled ... And Raised by Nannies, Cameras!!!

Kanye West got a lot off his chest in his new song with The Game -- and most of it was aimed at his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian ... not to mention his own kids.

The track, "Eazy," dropped early Saturday, and as expected ... Ye laid into Pete Davidson. But that's not even the real takeaway in our minds -- indeed, he says he wants to beat PD's ass, but his main beef seems to be with Kim ... and how he thinks she's raising their brood.

Check out his verse for yourself ... it's scathing to say the least, almost like his own rap diss.

Right off the bat, Kanye says ... "How I ain't bring nothing to the table, when I'm the table?" ... going on to rap that he's going to "turn up the music, wake up the neighbors," among other incendiary lyrics. Sounds like Ye's not ready to put this matter to bed quietly.

He hits the point home even more so later, when he raps ... "N****, we havin' the best divorce ever // If we go to court, we'll go to court together // Matter of fact, pick up your sis, we'll go to Kourt's together."

There's more ... Kanye says he "watched four kids for like five hours today," echoing what he claimed to Hollywood Unlocked about allegedly being restricted from time with his children. But then, he goes for the jugular ... rapping, "I got love for the nannies, but real family is better // The cameras watch the kids, y'all stop takin' the credit."

Speaking of those kids (his kids) ... Kanye dishes a little truth medicine (in his mind, anyway). He raps, "When you give 'em everything, they only want more // Boujee and unruly, y'all need to do some chores // Rich-ass kids, this ain't yo mama house // Climb on your brother's shoulders, get that Top Ramen out."

And, of course, the PD line everyone knew was coming ... "God saved me from that crash // Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass (Who?)." In the same breath, he shouts out his new GF, Julia Fox, rapping ... "And my new bitch bad // I know Illuminati mad."

The song is getting tons of love online, with people saying Kanye is back to rhyming like he used to during his 'College Dropout' days ... aka, the oh-so-toxic days.

Kanye West Claims Kim's Keeping Kids From Him ... She Just Wants Privacy, Structured Visits

Kanye West is strongly insinuating that Kim Kardashian is limiting his access to their children, but people close to her say nothing could be further from the truth.

Kanye sounded pissed off about the amount of face time he's getting with their 4 kids when he sat down with Hollywood Unlocked's Jason Lee. Ye said, "Don't play with me, don't play with my children. Ain't no security gonna get in between me and my children and you ain't gonna gaslight me."

While he never mentions his estranged wife by name, the reference to security standing between him and the kids would seem to indicate Kim's involvement. He added, "Nothing with my career, with this rap, with this media, with none of that, that's gonna keep me from my children. And that's what I want everybody to know."

Ye's rant about the kids is puzzling to Kim, because sources connected to her tell TMZ ... Kim's never denied him time with the North, Saint, Chicago or Psalm. We're told she goes "above and beyond" to make sure he gets as much time with them as his schedule will allow.

Kanye was last photographed with all the kids last weekend.

Our sources say the one thing Kim has asked Kanye to do is call ahead of time when he wants to come to her house to see the children. We're told she simply wants some structure in order to protect her right to privacy in her home.

Ye also said he was annoyed by media coverage of his recent purchase of a home next to Kim's ... saying the only reason he did that was to remain close to his kids.

TMZ broke the story ... before he allegedly punched an autograph seeker early Thursday morning, Kanye told fans outside his hotel he was going through a lot related to his divorce and seeing his kids.

Based on the new interview ... seems like that's exactly what set him off after his night out in Hollywood with Julia Fox.

Lamar Odom Tristan's 'Corny' for What He Did to Khloe ... But She's Gonna Be Alright

011222_lamar_odom_kal
WELL WISHES
TMZ.com

You can tell Lamar Odom still has love for his ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian, based on what he's saying about her recent embarrassment at the hands of Tristan Thompson ... and telling us what'd he do to comfort her.

We got the former NBA superstar Wednesday at the Atlanta Fish Market in Buckhead, and he said he hasn't reached out to Khloe since TT copped to getting another woman pregnant.

LO says he and Khloe haven't seen each other in a long time, but he feels like this would be a great time to be able to give her a hug.

Rocking a fur coat as he and his manager, Tonita B, entered the restaurant ... Lamar echoes what a lot of people have said about Khloe being a strong woman -- and he also told us what advice he'd give her ... if he had the opportunity for a face-to-face.

While we asked directly about Tristan, Lamar clearly didn't want to discuss him ... simply saying "he's corny" for what he did. TT and Lamar have butted heads in the past, like earlier this year after Lamar left a comment on a Khloe post.

Of course, Lamar's had his challenges over the years -- including his nearly-fatal OD in 2015 -- and other substance abuse struggles, but he seems to be on the straight and narrow lately.

Khloe and Lamar got married in 2009, and Khloe filed for divorce in 2015 ... but she withdrew the filing when he suffered his OD so that she could make medical decisions on his behalf while he was in a coma. The divorce was finalized in 2016.

As for any possibility of a reunion with his ex, Lamar explained why chances are slim to none, but added ... it would be a "blessing" in his life.

Kim & Pete Pizza Dinner Date ... Ice Cream for Dessert!!!

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson appear to be spending as much time together as possible, grabbing some hot eats followed by a cool treat on their latest date night.

The couple hit up Jon & Vinny's on Fairfax Tuesday night -- an Italian-inspired spot famous for pizza and pasta -- where they dove in on some 'za. The two were pretty discreet, sitting at a table in the back and entering and exiting from the restaurant's rear entry.

From there, we're told Pete and Kim journeyed on over to a local Rite Aid where they each grabbed some Thrifty ice cream for dessert.

The pair has been inseparable over the last few weeks -- spending time in L.A. before Christmas and heading down to the Bahamas with some friends after NYE.

Pizza seems to be a popular date choice for Kim and Pete, it was back when the two first started dating when Pete took Kim to a favorite spot of his in Staten Island for pizza and pasta.

Of course, Kanye's been doing some coast-to-coast dating of his own -- going from Miami to NYC to L.A. with actress Julia Fox -- our Kim sources say she's happy if Kanye's happy, and it's up to him to find a partner that'll work ... not for Kim to judge.

Kim Kardashian Cool with Kanye & Julia Dating ... Rather Deal with a Fan Than a Hater!!!

Kim Kardashian's got no beef with Kanye dating actress Julia Fox, and actually believes the fact Julia's a huge fan of the Kardashian family could be a good sign of things to come in co-parenting with Kanye.

Sources close to Kim tell us she's happy to see Kanye out smiling again, and only wants to see him end up with a good person -- something that's up to Kanye to figure out -- and not for Kim to judge.

Forbidden Fruits with Julia Fox and Niki Takesh

As you know, Julia has raved about the Kardashian family, calling herself a "Die-Hard" fan of 'Keeping Up.'

Our sources say, in Kim's eyes, the fact Julia admires her is a good thing -- and if her relationship with Ye continues to grow and Julia comes around the kids -- it'll make co-parenting easier if everyone gets along.

We're told Kim has fully moved on from her romantic relationship with Kanye ... and positive vibes are all she wants for her estranged hubby.

Of course, Kim's been having plenty of fun of her own with Pete Davidson -- most recently they were in the Bahamas with friends, and before that they rendezvous'd in Palm Springs, and enjoyed private dinners in NYC and L.A.

Meanwhile, Kanye and Julia have put on quite the display .. hitting up a paparazzi-hot spot in L.A. Monday night when they had dinner at Craig's with ex-NFL star Antonio Brown.

Kendall Jenner Alleged Trespasser Arrested, Released ... She Gets Protection

UPDATE

5:28 PM PT -- 1/11 -- Kendall is getting court-ordered protection from her alleged trespasser ... according to online records.

UPDATE

KJ beelined it to a court Tuesday and filed for a temporary restraining order against  Babcock ... and a judge signed off on it. He's now required to stay away from Kendall until Feb. 1, when he has a court hearing.

Kendall Jenner has a new issue with a man attempting to get onto her property, and while he was arrested ... he's already back on the streets, as it's becoming more and more challenging for cops to keep people safe.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ 31-year-old Arnold Babcock was stopped inside Kendall's gated community earlier this week by security. He claimed he was looking for Kendall, and we're told it's not the first time he'd been in the area trying to find her.

The community security detained Babcock until cops came, who then arrested him for trespassing. However, he was released a short time later without being charged.

Our law enforcement sources say L.A. County D.A. George Gascon's office rarely files charges on trespassing cases, which is increasingly frustrating to cops.

We're told the rank and file feel that without charges or consequences ... suspects have more of an incentive to commit crimes again.

The D.A. tells TMZ ... "Our office charges trespassing cases when appropriate based on the totality of the circumstances."

It's not the first, second or even tenth time a member of the Kardashian/Jenner family has had to deal with men attempting to get in their homes or on their property.

As we reported, it was back in March when a man jumped in Kendall's pool naked before he was arrested -- and just last month a man was arrested near Kylie's home trying to make contact.

Babcock is still under investigation for his other alleged incidents involving Kendall.

FEELS LIKE FAMILY
Forbidden Fruits with Julia Fox and Niki Takesh

Kanye West's new girlfriend Julia Fox is no stranger to his estranged family, in fact, she might know just a little TOO much about them, as she herself admitted to being a "die-hard, OG" fan.

In a recently surfaced 2021 recap episode of her "Forbidden Fruits" podcast with co-host Niki Takesh, the two talked everything pop culture from the year that was. Of course, Kim Kardashian and Kanye's divorce was on the table, to which Julia said, "Can we talk about the Kim and Kanye divorce? Wait, can we talk about Kim and Pete Davidson, though?"

She also stated she'd watched "Keeping Up with The Kardashians" since it started in 2007, calling it "embarrassing" but admitted she'd miss the show now that it's wrapped.

Interestingly enough, Julia says, "It's like you are happy for them when something good happens to them."

From everything we've seen and been told, Kim is having a great time with Pete -- always smiling when with him -- so, weirdly enough, you gotta think Julia's proud?

The Kardashians are clearly a level of celebrity Julia and her squad have aspired to obtain over the years, with one friend recently telling The Cut, "Julia Fox is doper than Pete Davidson, Kim Kardashian, and Kanye West combined. She's a legitimate sorceress."

What's more, Julia's been known to re-post Kim K's Instagram stories over the years and has openly been a stan.

As we told you, Kanye's been dressing his new fling in Balenciaga as of late -- a brand that has essentially been synonymous with Kim over the last year. He also revealed he's got a collab project in the works with GAP, Yeezy and Balenciaga, so expect to see a lot more Kim clones out there in the future.

Corey Gamble I'm Supporting Tristan ... After Khloe Apology

010522_corey_gamble_kal_2
SHOWING SUPPORT
BACKGRID

Corey Gamble looks like he's got Tristan Thompson's back amid all the Khloe Kardashian drama ... because he's got a jersey with Tristan's name on the back.

Kris Jenner's boyfriend was leaving Tuesday's Lakers and Kings game at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles when he whipped out a Thompson No. 13 jersey from a bag he was holding. It was game-worn too -- Tristan handed it to him at the end of the game.

Corey made a point of showing the Kings jersey to the paparazzi ... sending the message that he's supporting Tristan in the middle of a very rough week for the NBA star -- which is kinda surprising.

CG and TT have run in the same circles for years with the Kardashians ... so there's a history here -- but, let's face it, Corey's loyalty has gotta be with Kris, and it's hard to imagine she's too happy with Tristan right now.

As you know ... Tristan revealed Monday he fathered a child with Maralee Nichols, and promptly apologized to Khloe, who he was publicly dating last year when Nichols got pregnant.

Tristan also delivered a bouquet of roses to True ahead of his apology to her mother.

So far, the Kardashians have yet to publicly respond to Tristan's confession and apology -- but Corey's sending a strong message by heading home with TT's jersey.

Of course, showing it to Kris is a whole other Oprah.
