Apparently Miley Cyrus is ready to rock the boat! As she announced her split from longtime love and husband of just under a year Liam Hemsworth, the singer was spotted making out with gal pal Kaitlynn Carter on a yacht in Italy!
Who's this Kaitlynn Carter you might ask? Brody Jenner's ex-wife! Those two recently announced their separation which led to hard-hitting journalists investigating the Hills stars' nuptials only to find they were never legally married. So maybe THAT'S why Brody's dad Caitlyn Jenner didn't attend the "wedding!"
So back to Miley and Kaitlynn ... as evidenced by Kait's Instagram above, the two are yachting around Lake Como having a gay ol' time and even MAKING OUT! It's not super surprising, given Miley identifies as pansexual and said in an interview last year that she finds marriage "confusing, complex and modern," and said she's "very sexually attracted to women" and doesn't "fit into a stereotypical wife role."
Well apparently she didn't fit into the wife roll at all, as a source tells E! News: "They have been trying to make it work for months now but haven't felt they were connecting on the level they were feeling when they got married last year. It's been a rough year. She has been ready to put out music and be back in the game touring and performing. They really grew apart. Miley and Liam have still been communicating and it wasn't a messy split but they haven't decided they are at different points in their lives currently."
The former couple's official statement goes like this: "Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time. Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers. They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy."
At least they didn't have kids! Miley appears to be over the painful split already, as she and Kaitlynn soak of the sun in Italy and do plenty of rocking the boat!
The young mom is celebrating her 22nd birthday with a floating party in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the island of Capri in Italy with "hubby" Travis Scott, mom Kris Jenner and boyfriend Corey Gabmle, new BFF Sofia Richie and her man Scott Disick, and a few other pals. But it's her daughter Stormi who brought Ky her greatest joy today, singing Happy Birthday Day to her mom ... and the little lady can actually carry a tune! Sounds like she gets it from her daddy, moreso that her mom :)
So onto the gifts -- somebody organized a huge sunflower sculpture spelling out "22" on the deck of the luxury yacht Tranquility that Ky booked for a cool $1.2 MILLION for the week. But it was the drip from Travis that stole the show -- a diamond-encrusted chain with a Kylie Lip Kit logo charm front and center, literally dripping in more diamonds. No wonder it's called drip!
Shawn Mendes' 22nd birthday party. He grabs Camila Cabello, pulls her in, kisses her passionately. Fans blow up the comments. Instagram-official!!!
Somebody at Shawn's birthday party at the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge rooftop bar in New York on Wednesday posted this video of the two singers making out and we are THERE for it!
Apparently so is Camila -- 'cause she just made her relationship with the singer even MORE Instagram official by declaring her love for Mendes in this birthday post dedicated to him. She didn't try to hide anything, writing: "Happy birthday to this magic human, I love you!!!!â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸" It's for real, y'all!

19 shots later ...
Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian give us this gem of a video, allowing us to watch them get wasted on Don Julio tequila (in blinged-out Kylie Skin bottles), as they paint their faces with Kylie's Birthday Collection which comes out tomorrow.
Before the pair even started, they took five shots each, chased with Red Bull. Ky said, "I’ve never done my makeup intoxicated, but I’m doing pretty good. Here’s your puffy-puff. Here’s my poofy-poof." At one point Khloe counters with, "I am not a YouTuber. I am so over this."
But she continued the ruse and the two sisters get waaaaaasted and we have to admit, it's kinda funny. Sofia Richie ends up joining -- though not drinking and not applying makeup, just gawking at the two drunk ladies. That's what best friends are for!

Startin' 'em young! Kim Zolciak's daughters Brielle, 22, and Ariana, 17, dined out with some friends at Craig's in West Hollywood Thursday night -- it's THE place to see and be seen in Hollywood and normally it's an older crowd, but the Biermann sistas know what's up!
It's a bit of a sport in LA, when you're a celebrity, to go to restaurants and shops where you know the paparazzi hang out and then, when you leave the establishment with flashes blinding you, you pretend like you were just there for the steak and had no idea there'd be photographers waiting outside. All the biggest stars do it -- it takes Oscar-worthy acting to pretend to be surprised when paps are hurling questions at you, joking around, pushing and shoving each other to get the best shot. But check it -- Brielle's got it DOWN!

Songwriter Steve Ronsen is pulling a Flame on Lady Gaga -- claiming a three-note progression in "Shallow" mimics notes he wrote in his 2012 single "Almost." Similarly, Flame, a Christian rock artist, just won $2.78 million in a lawsuit against Katy Perry claiming a six-note sequence from his single "Joyful Noise" is replicated in Perry's "Dark Horse."
While a suit hasn't yet been filed, recent wins like Flame's and the one by Marvin Gaye's estate against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams for "Blurred Lines," which awarded the estate more than $7 million, encourages someone like Ronsen to find any teeny tiny similarity in their music with a song of someone much more famous and to claim copyright infringement.
Apparently Gaga's attorneys have ignored the matter thus far (we don't blame them), while Ronsen's lawyer told Us Weekly in a statement: "In an effort to amicably resolve this matter months ago, my office provided Lady Gaga’s legal team, at their request, with an official report from a renowned and respected musicologist and professor who determined that there are significant tempo, melodic, rhythmic and harmonic similarities between the two ‘hooks’ of the songs at issue. Lady Gaga’s team has yet to provide my office with an opposing musicologist report, which we have requested multiple times."
Still, when asked for a statement, Gaga's attorney Orin Snyder responded -- warning Ronsen and his lawyer, it'll be a tough battle should they decide to file suit: "Mr. Ronsen and his lawyer are trying to make easy money off the back of a successful artist. It is shameful and wrong. I applaud Lady Gaga for having the courage and integrity to stand up on behalf of successful artists who find themselves on the receiving end of such [claims]. Should Mr. Shirian [Ronsen’s attorney Mark D. Shirian] proceed with this case, Lady Gaga will fight it vigorously and will prevail."
North West loves fashion as much as her mom! The six-year-old borrowed the crazy $35,000 Dior saddlebag bum bag we wrote about earlier this week, during a family trip to Japan earlier this year. Who lets their kindergardener borrow a $35K bag?! Kim Kardashian does, that's who!
The tyke posed with mom Kim, her brother Saint, and dad Kanye -- and Saint's no fashion slouch ... he was sporting Gucci slides while dad was in head-to-toe Yeezy.

We don't know who's cuter -- Ben and Jen or their son Samuel!
The consciously-uncoupled co-parents are still friends, chatting and having a laugh while they watch son Sam at his swim lesson. It's such good support for the 7-year-old! After his practice, the little tyke wrapped up in a towel and went home with dad. What an adorable family!
