Kourtney Kardashian Fashion Week Event Takes Dark Turn ... Lights, Please!!!

FASHION BLACKOUT
TMZ.com

Kourtney Kardashian's Fashion Week Show looks like a huge success despite the fact it was missing something very necessary when it started -- someone missed the "lights, camera, action" memo.

Kourtney's event -- for her collab with Boohoo -- began around 8:30 PM at the Highline in NYC ... she made a grand entrance with hubby Travis Barker, and everyone cheered as they strutted down the runway.

But, as you can see in the video, shortly after they hit their seats next to Jonathan Cheban ... the freakin' lights went out! The show must go on, so the models did their thing down the catwalk -- just without lights or music.

Awwwkward. Let's face it, the point of a fashion show is to show off fashions ... which gets difficult in the dark.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Sources at the show tell us Kourtney was looking around in confusion while the lights were off, but her reaction wasn't super obvious since it was so dark.

Good thing she didn't panic -- after about 30 seconds the lights popped on and the music started too. Pesky plugs!

After that ominous start, the show continued without a hitch.

LIGHTS OUT!!!

BTW, this was a solo mission ... Kourt handled her biz without any other Kardashians attending.

Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble Do We Look Like We're Havin Fun??? Insane Downpour During NY Fashion Week

FLOODED FASHION
TMZ.com

New York Fashion Week was for the cats and the dogs ... because that's how it was raining as the glam crowd -- including Kris Jenner -- pretended they were having a great time as they sought refuge under a gaggle of umbrellas.

Kris and bf Corey Gamble hit up the Tommy Hilfiger show, along with Kourtney and Travis Barker, at the Skyline Drive-in theater in Brooklyn. What no one anticipated ... that it would be pissing rain.

Lots of celebs tried protecting their Sunday best, including Kate Moss, Julia Fox, Yungblud, Trippie Redd, Noah Beck, Latto, Kodak Black, Shawn Mendes, Lisa Rinna, Jasmine Sanders and Babyface.

Kate Moss' 19-year-old daughter, Lila, ripped the runway. At one point, Travis Barker got on stage and played the drums .... and people caught the beat despite the downpour.

Travis is fantastic, but don't you think a Rihanna song would've been more fitting?

It's been a tumultuous weekend for momager Kris and Kim K. Ray J was triggered by her lie detector test on James Corden's show, proclaiming she had nothing to do with the release of Kim's sex tape. Ray says there were actually 2 sex tapes and Kris picked the one for release where Kim looked the best.

Ray also showed his contract with Vivid Entertainment, the company that released the sex tape, and said the inventory list was written by Kim herself, and he showed a sample of her handwriting to prove it. Kim has said she had nothing to do with the release.

Ray J Threatens to Sue Kim K ... For Suggesting Assault on Hulu Show

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SUE ME?!"
Instagram / @rayj

Ray J seems serious about suing Kim Kardashian for her comment on her Hulu show that Ray J may have stuck something up her butt while she was sleeping.

Ray remains furious about the first episode of the show ... when Kim fretted there might be a second sex tape. She told her fam she was 99.9% sure there wasn't one, but then suggested if there was anything sexual in another tape ... Ray may have stuck a dildo up her butt while she was sound asleep.

JOKE OR NOT?

Kim follows it up on the show by saying "It's completely illegal" and then asks her lawyer to "scare the s*** out of this guy."

Ray says it's all an outrageous lie to suggest he sexually assaulted Kim, and he says he's seriously considering a defamation lawsuit.

As we reported, Ray also says there IS a second sex tape -- the Cabo sex tape and another that was shot in Santa Barbara -- and he says Kris even watched the tapes and chose the one to distribute in which Kim looked the best. Kris has denied she had a hand in the release of the tape.

Kris took a lie detector test on 'The Late Late Show' a few days ago and, according to the polygrapher, was honest when she said she didn't orchestrate the deal.

WHO KILLED MJ?

Speaking of the sex tape, Kim has denied she had anything to do with the release, but Ray says she's absolutely lying, and showed the contract he signed with Vivid Entertainment where the sex tapes are chronicled in writing and he says Kim's the one who wrote it ... and her fingerprints -- literally her fingerprints -- are on the paper.

The question he poses is interesting ... if Kim/Kris were so sure he'd leaked the sex tape -- as he says they've strongly indicated for years now -- or that he violated Kim ... why hadn't they sued him yet? The answer, to him, is that they know they're full of it.

James Corden to Kris Jenner Polly Want a Graph? ... Kris Asked if She Was in on Kim's Sex Tape

Kris Jenner got herself hooked up to a polygraph Thursday night ... and the question that dogged her for years was on the table -- was she involved in the release of Kim's sex tape!

X MARKS THE SPOT
E!

Kris sat next to Kylie as James Corden fired off the question -- "Did you help Kim release her sex tape?" the audience gasped, but Kris assured everyone it was ok, she gave a firm "No" to the question and a dude named John who was manning the machine said she was a truthteller!

So, couple of things ... the sex tape could not be released unless the parties involved gave their signoff ... Kim filed a lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment, which released the tape, but according to Vivid they reached a financial settlement and they dropped the case.

Vivid has long said it would not release a tape without everyone's consent, because in addition to losing the profits it made off the tape, it would be on the hook for invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress. Nevertheless, Kim sued and they settled.

Corden didn't follow up with whether she knew if Kim was in on the plot ... something Kim has denied.

BTW ... Corden also asked if Kylie was her favorite child and she gave a resounding "yes" and passed that one too.

Caitlyn Jenner Transgender Artist Challenges Olympian ... Let's Duke It Out in the Ring!!!

Caitlyn Jenner is getting put on BLAST by a transgender artist who's getting ready to step in the ring ... and she's calling Caitlyn out to be her next victim.

CJ was challenged by recording artist BraydBunch at a recent face-off event for the Fake Drake celebrity boxing match, which is set to go down in October.

COME AND GET IT

As Brayd faced off against Mike Mazza, she says she hopes her courage will bring others like her into the boxing scene -- even saying she'd love to take Caitlyn down next.

The insults were FLYING -- calling her an oldie whose Olympic status won't mean squat once she's done with her ... she's craving the opportunity to "shut her up," and thinks she can get it done in the ring.

Caitlyn has some experience in the ring, but it might not have been as legit as it looked -- she fought and "beat" bodyguard Mark Behar back in '09 for a charity match ... Mike later claimed the fight was staged for their reality show.

FYI -- the Fake Drake boxing event was supposed to end the night with a big brawl between the imposter himself and Lamar Odom, but the basketball star recently backed out and was replaced by YouTuber M2thaK.

Fake Drake claimed the real Drake paid LO to stay out of it, but sources involved in the deal told us this was not true.

Kanye West Targets Adidas GM in New IG Posts ... Praying on His Downfall

Kanye West is fired back up again -- now re-focusing his outrage at a specific Adidas executive ... who's plastered all over Ye's Instagram page, with some interesting commentary.

Ye went on the offensive Saturday with a slew of new posts that have Daniel Cherry III in his crosshairs. DC is Adidas' Senior Vice President/General Manager -- and Kanye is dragging him through the coals over what he apparently sees as hijacking his Yeezy brand.

We saw this earlier in the week ... KW was upset over a perceived feeling that he's being iced out of managing Yeezy via Gap -- and now, he's going back to the source in Adidas.

In one of his newest messages -- which looks to be aimed at Cherry -- he references "VCs" ... or venture capitalists. Kanye writes, "VENTURE CAPITALIST WHO'S ONLY ADVENTURE IS CAPITALISM. CANT CREATE SO THEY TRY TO OUT COUNT THE CREATIVES."

Ye adds, "DIE SLOW." There's more  ... Kanye seems to allude to some sort of history he and Cherry share -- alleging DC recently told Lil Uzi Vert that he should've "taken it to the hands" with Ye years ago, which is seriously pissing him off. He says he's already got a fake NYT death cover story in the can for when Cherry gets fired -- something Ye's predicting.

He also writes ... "I GUARANTEE YOU'LL HAVE TO RELOCATE BEFORE I'M LEGALLY FINISHED WITH YOU." Kanye has photoshopped tons of pics of Chery in different scenarios with mocking captions ... alluding to the notion Cherry was hired to manage Yeezy without Kanye's knowledge and is supposedly running it into the ground -- at least from KW's POV.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

In one of his new posts ... Kanye also appears to be texting Kim about where their kids should go to school -- picking up where he last left off. Lots on Kanye's mind right now ... and he's airing it all out publicly for the world to see.

No signs of slowing down either, BTW ... he's on an Instagram frenzy at the moment.

Kanye West Goes After Kim, Kardashians I Want To Pick Where My Kids Go to School!!!

Kanye West is back to taking shots at his family on Instagram, targeting Kim and the rest of the Kardashians in a flurry of posts that touch on everything from where his kids go to school to labeling himself, Scott Disick, Tristan Thompson and Travis Scott "c** donors."

Ye put up a bunch of now deleted posts Thursday night, including a text exchange with Kim where Kim begged Kanye to stop, writing, "From my mom- PLEASE ... Tell him to please stop mentioning my name. I'm almost 67 years old and I don't always feel great and this stresses me to no end."

That didn't phase Ye, who replied, "Y'all don't have so so over my black children and where they go to school. They will not do playboy and sex tapes. Tell your Clinton friends to come get me. I'm here."

Kanye recently opened up his Donda Academy, and apparently believes his kids should attend the academy for school. He's clearly also taking shots at Kim's sex tape and her and Kylie's posing for Playboy years ago. At one point, he even revealed his porn addiction ruined his family.

However, Ye wasn't done there ... he also posted the names of Travis, Tristan and Scott -- who all have kids with Kardashians -- and the caption, "Calling my fellow c** doners. We in this 2gthr."

He also took shots at Pete Davidson, who got Kim and Kanye's kid's initials tattooed on his neck, and who Kim recently split from, saying, "Ask Pete how those tattoos of my kids doing in the trauma unit."

The series of Instagram posts is just another attack Ye has laid out this week on social media. He also called out GAP and Adidas for allegedly leaving him out of business meetings and copying his designs.

Remember, it was back in March when Instagram suspended Kanye's account for his attacks on Kim, Pete and others ... stay tuned.

Bethenny Frankel Rips Kardashians For Editing Photos ... Irresponsible, Reckless!!!

BACK OFF THE BUSY MOMS!
TMZ.com

Bethenny Frankel says no one can keep up with the Kardashians when it comes to editing pics ... accusing the family of photoshopping so much, it's become a detriment to "regular" women.

We got the ex-'RHONY' star in NYC, and asked her to expand on her recent statements against photoshopped social media posts ... and she went nuclear on the Kardashians.

Bethenny says Kim, Khloe and Kylie are making American mothers feel terrible about their natural bodies by using their wealth to get cosmetic surgeries and hire professionals to edit their pictures in a way that makes people compare themselves to unattainable beauty.

For Bethenny, she says the Kardashians' social media pages are slowly tricking people into thinking what they post is an accurate representation of women's bodies ... she says the more folks see the edited photos, the more the lines are blurred.

Bethenny says the practice is hardly inspirational or aspirational to millions of mothers who she says are insecure about their bodies.

This isn't your typical anti-Kardashian rant -- she says this is a serious issue, and worries the edited photos might cause her 12-year-old daughter to develop an eating disorder or become depressed.

BF posted some photoshopped pics on her social media to shine a light on what's going on with celeb accounts ... telling us it took her an entire day to get the photo edited just right.

Bethany's got no problem with makeup and wants people to be happy with who they are ... calling for celebs to be honest about plastic surgery and stop passing off filtered and artificially perfected photos as candid moments.

Young Thug To Kanye West Use My Georgia Land For Your Yeezy Stores 100 Acres ... Free Of Charge!!!

Young Thug's prison Wi-Fi seems to be up and running without issue, and the incarcerated rap star is going outta his way to help Kanye West's dream of launching worldwide Yeezy stores.

Ye has been livid on Instagram all week ... waging war with GAP and adidas for swiping his Yeezy designs.

The frustration led Ye to begin plotting to launch a Yeezy brick-and-mortar shop in every state -- starting in Atlanta -- and he furiously began sending sketch ideas to architects Claudio Silvestrin and John Pawson.

Thugger hopped on Instagram on Thursday, from prison, to offer Ye 100 acres Georgia land to use ... free of charge!!!

Clearly excited, Ye began to revel in the news with good friend A$AP Bari ... before hitting up ex-wife Kim Kardashian, in hopes she could work her clemency magic to free the YSL Records leader.

Hopefully Kim can operate at Houdini levels ... Thugga's already been denied bond three times after being named the head of his ongoing Georgia RICO case.

The triple setbacks haven't curbed Thugger's sense of humor, however. Earlier in the week, he hopped on Twitter to randomly ask legendary Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps if he could swim across the ocean ... and got a response!!!

Kim Kardashian Hits Up Charity Event in High Style

Kim Kardashian is living proof a charity event doesn't have to be downer ... at least when it comes to fashion, charity can be lit!

KK hit up the 4th annual fundraiser for the charity, This is About Humanity -- TIAH. It's an org that raises awareness about parents and children separated at the U.S./Mexican border.

Kim showed up in style, and gotta say ... Kanye may be long gone in terms of a relationship with her, but his fashion influence still lingers from her head to her toes.

Tickets for the event -- held in Brentwood, CA -- were certainly within her reach -- $1k a pop. The money goes toward legal representation for immigrant families.

The org was co-founded by Henry Winkler's kid, Zoe. Henry, his ageless wife Stacey, and Zoe were front and center at the event.

Trans Golfer Hailey Davidson Hoping For Talk With Caitlyn Jenner ... 'Clear Up Some Assumptions'

Hailey Davidson -- the transgender golfer aiming to make the LPGA Tour -- tells TMZ Sports she's very grateful for Caitlyn Jenner's support this week ... but she's striving to have a further chat with the former Olympian with the hopes that it will help "clear up some assumptions" going forward.

Jenner threw her support behind Davidson on Fox News on Wednesday, saying she believed Davidson -- unlike transgender swimmer Lia Thomas -- had no unfair advantage over her female opponents because "golf is a totally different game."

Davidson called Jenner's backing "awesome" ... but tells us she did find at least part of the conversation as a whole "a bit vague."

Specifically, the 29-year-old, who underwent gender reassignment surgery last year, says she wished Jenner had left out the sweeping assumption that she can still crush a golf ball.

"My big thing is just, I appreciate the love and support, but definitely to clear up some assumptions would be awesome," she said.

"Because I definitely don't hit it as far as people say. Like, nowhere close."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Davidson said she's reached out to Jenner in an attempt to have a conversation with her about it all. She's yet, though, to hear back.

But if the conversation does take place, Davidson tells us she's hopeful Jenner would hear her out about her golf game ... and more.

"I would love to talk to her in regards to more about how we are athletes and her experience may not be everyone's experience," she said.

"Everyone's experiences are different and everyone's built different. With what she was training to do, yeah, I'm pretty sure she's pretty big and strong."

Davidson said she, however, is not necessarily like that. In fact, she tells us after undergoing hormone treatment, she's lost a ton of power and clubhead speed.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Ultimately, Davidson said she's just hoping everyone can one day be treated equally.

"I understand [Caitlyn's] point that golf is a little different," she said. "But again, all sports are really the same in the end when it comes to the athlete."

"I think we just need more of an understanding of what hormones actually do to people by speaking with the actual trans athletes themselves."

Scott Disick Photos Show Flipped Lamborghini After Wreck in Calabasas

UPDATE

7:49 PM PT -- We've now obtained photos of Scott's banged up Lamborghini ... and he's lucky he made it out with only minor injuries. It appears Disick, who was driving in The Oaks gated community, smashed into a stone mailbox, possibly the reason the vehicle flipped.

Scott Disick was involved in a car accident this weekend -- but it sounds like he's going to be okay ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the reality star had his car dinged up Sunday while driving near Calabasas. Unclear where exactly this might've occurred out there, but we're told Scott's Lamborghini SUV rolled over in the wreck ... one that only involved his vehicle, and luckily not any others. We're told he was alone in the car, and didn't appear impaired.

Our sources say SD sustained a minor cut to his head, and that when paramedics arrived ... he refused medical attention. So it seems he wasn't seriously injured.

Again ... we're not entirely sure on what possibly made Scott's car to flip like this, but we are told that speed appears to have been a factor, based on a preliminary investigation by cops. Scott's Lambo was towed from the scene ... he was not cited in the end.

Scott has been out and about all over L.A. these past few days -- including an outing at Nobu with a mystery woman earlier in the week ... as well as another dinner at Giorgio Baldi on Saturday night, alongside none other than Rod Stewart's daughter, Kimberly.

Scott and Kourtney continue to co-parent their three little ones -- this as KK has gone on to marry Travis Barker this year ... a relationship that SD, at times, has apparently bristled over.

We've reached out to his reps for further comment ... so far, no word back.

Kim Kardashian Alleged Jewel Thief Has No Remorse ... Over 2016 Paris Robbery

One of the men accused of robbing Kim Kardashian in Paris -- who seems to have fessed up to it, at least partially -- says he doesn't feel bad about what happened.

Yunis Abbas is one of several men who has been charged in connection to the 2016 heist -- and he did an interview with Vice News ... dishing on what he says went into the planning and execution of the stick-up job where they walked away with millions in stolen jewelry.

He explains that they were tracking Kim on social media and through her show, and kept tabs on her when she came to Paris that year ... detailing her movements, much of which were being covered by the press and by social media -- her own and others.

Abbas explains they noticed Kim was showing off a lot of jewelry online and in person -- and they figured she had a lot of money ... especially from what they could see on 'KUWTK.'

THE SECURITY FOOTAGE
m6info

It sounds like Abbas and co. were doing weeks of planning, and when the day came ... he says they hatched their plan to a T -- although he says he stayed downstairs while his associates went up and did the deed. He makes it seem like it was relatively easy to pull off.

Abbas goes on to say that he wasn't really aware of Kim at first -- more so Kanye -- and when asked if he regrets his part in the crime ... the dude says, absolutely not.

His rationale boils down to this ... he saw Kim "throwing money away," and justifies his actions by saying he was simply picking up what he thought she clearly didn't care about. So, no real remorse -- although he acknowledges she must've been traumatized from it all.

Kim herself has spoken on the aftermath at length ... saying she was scared for her life, and that she'd be harmed well beyond what actually happened. It also fundamentally changed her behavior going forward, especially when it came to security and flaunting jewelry.

It's pretty fascinating to hear the tale from one of the suspects themselves. Abbas hasn't been shy about speaking on his involvement -- he's written a tell-all book about it since then, but at the same time ... has also reportedly pled not guilty to the charges against him.

12 men total were charged in connection to the incident -- and it seems it's still ongoing to this day, with the case being sent to trial last fall. Unclear where things stand now, though.

818 Tequila Kim, Kylie, Orlando & A-Listers Meet ... On The Eve Of 8/18

The meeting went down in Beverly Hills Wednesday, which was the eve of 8/18. While many of those in attendance included Kendall's relatives -- Kim, Kylie, Khloe, Kris, and Corey Gamble -- some celebs outside the Kardashian family showed up too.

James Corden, Orlando Bloom, and jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer were all there to talk tequila -- you can see OB getting chatty with Kim.

Interestingly enough, Orlando was recently shooting a movie with Kim's ex, Pete Davidson, in Australia.

Kim Kardashian So, Here's Where I Work ... You Can't Have Too Many Glam Rooms!!!

Kim Kardashian is a billionaire, in case you didn't know, and she's opened up her massive SKKN headquarters to remove any doubt.

Kim is showcasing her massive, 40,000-square-foot office space ... and gotta say ... it's pretty damn awesome.

The bells and whistles are impressive ... a massive kitchen, amphitheater, model glam room and private glam room, and on and on.

Kim didn't cheap out with decorators and designers ... Tommy Clements and Waldo Fernandez did the decor while Michele Lamy and Rick Owens designed the furniture.

Check out the glam room filled with robes, chairs for models and other stuff used for tailoring clothes.

Kim also gave a peek into her photo studio ... pretty cool. As for why she has a "private" glam room, she says it's where she kicks back and watches TV ... not a cord-cutter we guess.

Then there's the luxury shower with a chair inside so Kim's publicist Tracy Romulus can talk business with her while she washes down.

Nice to be a billionaire, for sure.

Kanye West Checks Out Malibu Pad With Mystery Chick

UPDATE

2:09 PM PT -- It appears the woman is OnlyFans model, Monica Corgan, who Kanye's been linked to in the past ... as we reported, the two were spotted at a movie together months ago.

Kanye West has a lot of construction going on at his Malibu home, and it's possible he's now working on a new relationship too ... after being spotted with a mystery woman.

Kanye and the brunette -- who did her best to keep her face hidden from cameras -- hit up Ye's nearly $60 million Malibu beachfront home. Unclear if the woman is just a friend, or something more, but she was decked out in tights, an oversized hoodie and possibly Balenciaga sunglasses.

Of course, if you know anything about Kanye and his recent girlfriends -- like Julia Fox and Chaney Jones -- they're almost always exclusively dressed in Balenciaga.

No word on how far along house construction is, Ye's completely gutted it ... but you gotta imagine it'll be quite the spectacle once finished.

As we've reported, Kim and Kanye have been on friendly terms as of late -- following her split with Pete Davidson -- but the home Ye bought next to Kim's remains unchanged ... so it doesn't look like he has any plans to actually move in.
