Kim K & North TikTok Account Disappears ... North's Just Not Feelin' It

UPDATE

4:10 PM PT -- After about an hour, the account is back up ... but our sources say North is still taking a break for the time being.

Kim Kardashian and North West's popular TikTok page has seemingly disappeared, and while it may only be temporary, there's also a chance it could be gone for good ... TMZ has learned.

Fans were stunned to see a message reading, "Couldn't find this account" when they tried to visit the page Thursday. However, a family source shed a little more light on what happened, telling us this was a decision made by North ... she just wants to try something new.

The source says, "North has been more interested in focusing her creativity in other areas lately and is taking a break from TikTok. Like most kids, interests change often, so she may be back on as early as tomorrow — or never again."

Of course, North was just as much (if not more) of a driving factor behind the account than Kim, so it makes sense to shut down if she's not feeling it.

Kim recently took her kids on a trip to Japan, so maybe it's possible North found some new creative inspiration abroad ... and decided to ditch the app.

The @kimandnorth account has not only racked up millions of followers since its launch, it's also been a spot for big-time celeb guest appearances ... including most recently Ice Spice.

Kourtney Kardashian Uses Selena Gomez Song In Promo Vid ... Picking sides Against Kylie & Hailey!?!

Kourtney Kardashian has apparently chosen a side in the Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez feud ... at least that's what fans believe after a new promo video for KK's latest product.

Kourtney's wellness brand, Lemme, just released a line of liquid drops, and Selena's song "The Heart Wants What It Wants" is used in a new TikTok from the brand showing off the product.

SUPPORTING SELENA?
TikTok / @lemme

Whether or not the use of the song is purely a coincidence remains unknown, but fans think it means Kourtney has chosen to be on Team Selena in the feud with Kylie Jenner and Hailey.

As we reported, Selena fans were outraged when they thought Kylie and Hailey were taking jabs at Selena, who dated Justin Bieber years before marrying HB.

The whole thing started after Selena posted a vid saying she accidentally laminated her eyebrows too much. Hours later, Kylie posted a FaceTime screenshot with Hailey, focusing on their brows -- with the caption "this was an accident?????" over her own eyebrows.

The eyebrows were only the beginning -- the drama between Hailey and Selena went on for weeks with fans comparing their relationship to JB and some accusing Hailey of stealing him.

Eventually, the Internet hate toward Hailey got so bad -- with death threats -- SG released a message telling everyone to calm down.

One more note, Kourtney's daughter, Penelope, is best friends with Selena's little sister, Gracie ... further driving fans to believe Kourtney's supporting the singer.

Ice Spice 'Stolen' Queen Chain Nothing But A TikTok Hoax!!!

032923_ice_spice_chain_kal
NABBED NECKLACE???

Ice Spice is not the victim of a chain-snatching, but rather the target of a big ol' attempt at clout-chasing for Internet fame!!!

Video of a man claiming to have possession of Ice's icy "Queen" necklace made its rounds across social media Wednesday -- and while many fans reacted with concern for Ice, the whole drama was merely a TikTok user looking to make a viral breakthrough.

The TikTok user fended off a wave of backlash ... we mean, he was bragging about robbing a woman for her chain 😐 ... and a source close to the "Munch" rapper doubled down against the shenanigans, assuring TMZ Hip Hop that Ice has never even owed such a piece.

"Queen" branding actually belongs to Nicki Minaj ... and a closer dive through Ice's jewelry box reveals the Bronx-bred rapper rocked her custom "Isis" name pendant the past couple of years as her star power grew.

In January, she dropped her "Like..?" EP and upgraded to her current $100k chain and showed it off when she pulled up on Kim Kardashian and North West ... for an authentic viral TikTok moment.

Ice has officially crossed over ... and mo' money, mo' trolling is the motto in today's social media era!!!

Jake Paul Locks Lips W/ World Champ Speed Skater ... At Dinner In Miami

There's a new lady in Jake Paul's life -- the Problem Child was packing on the PDA with beautiful Dutch speed skater Jutta Leerdam while on a dinner date on Tuesday ... TMZ Sports has learned.

A witness at the venue tells us the 6-1 boxer and 24-year-old world champion were spotted getting cozy at LPM Restaurant in Miami ... and apparently kissing was on the menu, 'cause the two couldn't keep their lips off each other.

Our sources say 26-year-old Jake and Jutta met through Instagram late last year and began talking over the past couple months ... which evolved to spending a good amount of time together in Florida recently.

SPOTTED TOGETHER

In fact, Jutta is slated to appear on the internet superstar's "B.S. With Jake Paul" podcast ... which she teased on social media earlier this week.

If you're not familiar with Leerdam, she's a superstar sprinter on the ice -- she won an Olympic silver medal in the women's 1000m race in Beijing in 2022, and has numerous world championships under her belt as well.

Jutta previously dated fellow speed skater Koen Verweij before splitting in August 2022 ... and Jake was famously tied to model Julia Rose until late last year as well.

It's unclear the current "status" of Jake and Jutta's relationship ... but they're both single, wildly successful and good-looking, so whatever it is -- it seems to be a great match!!!

We've reached out to Jake and Jutta's reps ... so far, no word back.

TikTok Hearings Congress Grilling CEO To Look Tough ... Says Journalist Taylor Lorenz

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS
TMZ.com

America's crackdown on TikTok might just be a way for lawmakers to look good on camera, but that doesn't mean a potential ban of the app nationwide is just for show ... so says Taylor Lorenz.

The Washington Post's top tech reporter joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday, giving us her thoughts about the current hearings about the app's ties to China ... as TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew gets grilled by congressmen at Capitol Hill.

GETTIN' GRILLED

She says it seems like a lot of the lawmakers are dragging Chew to get some viral traction, ironically enough ... adding there's a bigger point to be made about social media as a whole, but strangely the blame is just put on TikTok -- pointing to Facebook, for example.

That being said, Taylor is still taking these hearings seriously ... and she tells us why it could all still come crumbling down.

Taylor might not think politicians are willing to put their reputations on the line for TikTok, but we got NY Rep. Jamaal Bowman in D.C. Wednesday, and he told us why he's still supporting the platform. He also echoed Taylor's thoughts about the bigger picture when it comes to social media.

Sophia Culpo Splits W/ Braxton Berrios ... TikTok-ing My Way Through Breakup

Olivia Culpo's younger sib, Sophia, confirmed her relationship with NFL player Braxton Berrios went kaput ... with the model/influencer firing off a number of TikToks with her sister about living the single life.

Rumors surrounding the end of the couple were circulating for weeks ... after fans noticed the once-inseparable duo suddenly stopped appearing on each other's social media platforms.

In fact, Braxton -- who signed with the Miami Dolphins earlier this month -- elected to take his mother on a Hawaiian vacation last week ... which, no disrespect to moms across the globe, seemed like what someone would do if they didn't wanna waste a getaway trip that was already booked prior to a breakup.

Sophia addressed the speculation head-on with a number of TikToks on Wednesday ... enlisting her sister, Aurora -- who separated from her husband in early 2022 -- to help her make some post-split content for her followers.

In one video, the youngest Culpo refers to Aurora and herself as "the single sisters" ... and in the follow-up, they jokingly use audio that references mental breakdowns as they sip wine and snack while laying in bed.

If you need any more convincing, the proof is in the captions ... with hashtags like #breakuptiktok and #singlelife.

Sophia and Braxton went public with their relationship in early 2021 ... and it's unclear when the split became official, but the last time he appeared on her page was November 2022.

We take it both sides will have no problem finding love again.

Julia Fox Embarrassed by Brother's Arrest ... But He Can Finally Get Help!!!

031723-julia-fox-kal
DEFUSING THE SITUATION

Julia Fox says she's embarrassed by her brother's troubling arrest, but she's looking at the silver lining of it all ... hoping it'll force him to get some help.

Julia shared a TikTok video Thursday addressing the police raid -- which turned up ghost guns and drug-making materials -- on her dad Thomas and brother Christopher earlier this month. Julia says Thomas was released the same night and had no criminal involvement whatsoever.

Speaking to her brother's character, she said, “I know my brother and I’ve always known him to be like... the sweetest, most gentle, kind, soft-spoken, loves animals, loves to plant flowers..."

Fox acknowledges both she and Thomas have a lot of trauma -- something she says he has internalized, while she has been able to find an outlet.

Julia admitted she was embarrassed by the whole thing ... but she says the silver lining is he'll finally be able to get the help she's been trying to get him for so long.

Pedro Pascal Most Wired of Us!!! 12 Espresso Line Mocks Viral TikTok

CAFFEINE RUSH
BACKGRID

Pedro Pascal likes to go ALL out when it comes to his coffee ... and also when it comes to having a little fun with TikTokers who can't believe how much caffeine he's got coursing through his veins.

Photogs caught up with "The Last of Us" star as he was making a coffee run Wednesday in L.A., and, naturally, they had to ask what's in his cup ... considering there's a viral TikTok going around claiming he gets 6 shots of espresso in his iced coffee!!!

ICYMI, a user zoomed in on a video of Pedro leaving Starbucks and broke down all that goes into his venti cup ... and, sure enough, the label says 6 shots.

We're guessing Pedro's seen the clip, because he told photogs his latest order doubles down on that old one -- dude claims he got 12 espresso shots this time!

Now, unless he's planning to stay up for the next day or so, PP had to be making a funny based on the TikTok. No one needs that much caffeine. Right?

Sen. Mark Warner Sorry, TikTokers ... We're Putting Nat'l Security Over Likes

030923-mark-warner-kal
TOUGH BREAK, TIKTOKERS
TMZ.com

TikTok users worried the U.S. government is gearing up to ban the platform might have good reason to feel that way ... according to the U.S. Senator spearheading those efforts.

We got Sen. Mark Warner Thursday as he was leaving FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., and asked what if any advice he had for the millions of influencers making a good living on the app. His answer is, Charli D'Amelio and co. need to be as concerned as politicians are about who's collecting their information.

ICYMI ... Warner and Sen. John Thune introduced a bipartisan bill this week that would give President Biden wide-ranging power to restrict TikTok use, or flat-out ban it, if there's reason to believe China is gathering U.S. citizens' data from TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance.

The White House has already said it supports the legislation -- which applies to all foreign technologies, not just TikTok -- but Congress has yet to put it to a vote.

Sen. Warner acknowledges there's "a lot of great things happening on TikTok," but says Congress can't be concerned with that ... not if national security hangs in the balance.

IF there's a ban -- as was threatened years ago under the Trump administration -- Warner says TikTok users shouldn't be too concerned, because he's certain a new app would quickly spring up to host the hot new dance challenge.

TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM

Of course, that's easy for politicians to say -- something tells us Warner's far from nailing the "Savage" dance.

Snoop Dogg It's Gonna Be a Dogg Day Afternoon in Houston!!! .... Weatherman Raps Snoop Lyrics

SHIZZLE MY DRIZZLE
TikTok / @weathermanadam / CW39

A Texas meteorologist used Snoop Dogg's lyrics to serve up a TV weather report ... and he won major props from the hip hop legend himself!

Adam Krueger accepted a challenge from one of his fans on TikTok to intertwine the words to Snoop's first solo single, "Who Am I?(What's My Name?)," in his forecast at CW39 in Houston.

Check out the vid -- as he assures viewers it's gonna be a nice day in the Houston area, he drops some bars from the Dogg -- "From the depths of the sea, to the back of the block."

BTW ... major coincidence. Snoop's lyrics are super similar to the first local anchor ever --Jerry Dunphy -- who opened his newscast with ... "From the desert to the sea, to all of Southern California, a good evening."

Back to Krueger -- he mixed it up a bit by voicing the title to a different Snoop song -- "Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat" -- which also featured Dr. Dre. "We’re gonna be warm and humid, with highs in the 80s, guess what, 'it’s like that, rat tat tat tat.'"

Snoop apparently watched the video and was so impressed that he reposted the clip on his Instagram page.

Others on social media also gave Krueger props. One person said, "Man I absolutely love this! As stressful as the world may be the weatherman is sneaking SNOOP lyrics into the forecast!!!!"

Bethenny Frankel I'm Not Doing Great ... Major Struggles with Autoimmune Disease

022423-bethany-frankel-kal 2/24/23
SOMETHING IS WRONG

Bethenny Frankel is suffering ... and the symptoms sound just awful.

Bethenny tearfully revealed her struggle Thursday, knowing her fans would instantly notice her face looked odd. She says it's all related to her struggle with POTS disease -- a blood circulation disorder that is associated with bloating, extreme achiness, weight gain and, worst of all, dehydration.

BREAKING POINT

Bethenny says the dehydration is messing with her life in a profound way ... she cannot retain water, and it has all sorts of consequences for her health. Her doctors say it's all related to POTS.

The 52-year-old says her disease has magnified since COVID, and there's no cure so she's really struggling.

Selena Gomez Ditching Social Media Over Kylie Eyebrow Drama ... 'I'm Too Old for This!!!'

TIME FOR A BREAK
TikTok / @selenagomez

Selena Gomez isn't here for all the Internet jabs being thrown by her fans and Kylie Jenner's ... so, she's getting off social media amid all the heat over Kylie, her and their eyebrows.

Selena hopped on TikTok Live Thursday to let her fans know she's a-okay after rumors of a feud with KJ exploded Wednesday -- frankly, the singer's fans are certain Kylie shaded Selena ... despite the fact, Selena says that's not the case.

She added, "I’m gonna be taking a second from social media cause this is a little silly and I’m 30. I’m too old for this."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

ICYMI, all the drama started after Selena posted a vid saying she accidentally laminated her brows too much. Then, a few hours later Kylie posted a FaceTime screenshot of Hailey Bieber and herself, focusing on their eyebrows -- and also a selfie with the text, "this was an accident?????" over her own eyebrows.

While SG supporters perceived it as a direct attack ... both Kylie and Selena denied their posts were related. KJ even called it a "reach" from fans.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Still, including Hailey in the alleged eyebrow beef was bound to piss off Selena stans.

HB and Justin Bieber's ex just met up last year for a photo op, attempting to assure their followers there's no animosity between them. If they bought it before, they're definitely not anymore ... not after Kylie's alleged eyebrow shading.

As for why this ridiculous subject (we're talking eyebrows, people) is getting so much attention -- Kylie and Selena both have armies of fans, they're top dogs on IG after all.

As of yesterday, Kylie was number 2 with 380 million followers ... and Selena had just regained the crown with 381 mil.

SOCIAL SELENA??

Well, the IG queen's subjects will have to get their social media fix elsewhere ... at least until Selena returns.

Kim Kardashian & Mariah Carey Team Up For Mommy-Daughter TikTok With North & Monroe!!!

TIKTOK CRASHER

Kim Kardashian and Mariah Carey are gonna have some competition when it comes to owning the spotlight ... as their daughters proved with this family production for TikTok.

Kim posted the vid Monday, featuring her daughter and their 2 big surprise guests. It started out with North and Mariah's 11-year-old daughter, Monroe, showing off their dance moves to MC's trending 2009 song, "It's A Wrap".

The 2 girls do their dance routine until they're joined by their superstar moms lip-synching the track into hairbrushes. Not surprisingly, the daughters end up pushing Mariah and Kim out of frame.

Fans ate up the video -- many of them were shocked MC and KK were hanging out together at Kim's Hidden Hills home. Anything for the kids, right?

Snoop Dogg Welcome (Back) to Death Row ... The TikTok Way!!!

Snoop Dogg's lockout of Death Row Records' catalog on streaming services is finally over -- Tha Doggfather's linked with TikTok's new music arm, SoundOn.

The exclusive welcome party will extend throughout the week on TikTok ... before the legendary rap tunes return to traditional digital streaming platforms.

021423_snoop_dogg_kal
DEATH ROW IS BACK!!!

Snoop removed the Death Row catalog from streaming in March 2022 ... and at the time, outlined a plan to have the music live on in its own metaverse within a full-functioning app.

Those plans appeared to have since fizzled. Dr. Dre recently threw a party to celebrate his own debut album, "The Chronic," returning to streaming and its original label home of Interscope.

To compensate for the lulls, Snoop and TikTok went halfsies on a custom Death Row playlist ... because not a day goes by without someone asking him to restore the catalog online.

"As the Super Bowl rolled around, I knew fans would be looking for the music from our iconic performance in 2022, so I wanted to reintroduce the most historic catalog to the people. I reached out to the folks at TikTok to make more history ... enjoy ya'll."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The house that Suge Knight built pushed out classics such as Snoop's debut "Doggystyle," Tha Dogg Pound's history-making Billboard chart-topper "Dogg Food" and 2Pac's diamond-selling "All Eyez On Me."

Patrick Mahomes Little Brother Jackson ... Dances Behind Him, Post-Game

Patrick Mahomes was being Patrick Mahomes after the Super Bowl win -- and his brother, Jackson, was being ... Jackson.

There's a clip of the Chiefs QB doing a post-game interview Sunday with the NFL Network, and as he was sitting down and answering questions seriously with an anchor on-camera -- Jackson popped up right behind him and busted a move ... or two, more like.

It looks like Jackson didn't realize he was interrupting a live shot, because someone off-camera appears to have told him to scram ... which he then did, seeming apologetic and genuinely surprised. Pat, meanwhile, didn't bat an eyelash.

Jackson is a social media star in his own right -- thanks, in part, to being Pat's little bro -- and this is his style ... namely, stealing the spotlight. He's often popping up on video doing wacky stuff ... including crap he probably shouldn't be doing, especially at games.

'Bachelor' Star Rachel Recchia No, I'm Not Dating Clayton, But ... Clarifies Reunion Rumors

RIDIN' SOLO
TMZ.com

Rachel Recchia is NOT back with Clayton Echard ... despite the 'Bachelor' stars suggesting their romance was alive and well in a recent video.

We got Rachel in Bev Hills where our photog asked if she was back together with Clayton, this after they seemed very cozy -- he had his arm around Rachel in "Bachelorette" Michelle Young's TikTok post.

DROPPING HINTS?
TikTok / @pilot.rachel

While Rachel made it seem like things between Clayton and her were super complicated in the social media clip, the real story is different -- she tells us they're just friends.

As 'Bachelor' fans know, Clayton broke Rachel's heart in season 26 ... with Clayton confessing he slept with her and Gabby Windey before leaving both behind in favor of Susie Evans.

Rachel says it's taken a lot of time and a lot of healing to get over such a public diss.

Clayton's out of the picture, romantically, but Rachel still tried to keep it coy when it comes to her dating life. Although, we pressed for an answer, and she finally gave up the goods.
