He didn't waste any time!
Tristan Thompson has been spotted out on not one but two dates with a "mystery" girl, and now her identity has been revealed as model Karizma Ramirez! Coincidentally, before TT, she was linked to Chris Brown. Barf!
The two were caught grabbing dinner in NYC last week, and then again at Nobu earlier this week, but the NBA star's camp is trying to downplay the new romance. TMZ reports that the athlete and the gorgeous brunette are simply new friends that met through fellow NBA star Jordan Clarkson. Riiiiiight...
The Cleveland Cavaliers star was caught cheating with Kylie's former BFF Jordyn Woods, which prompted his breakup with Khloe Kardashian, and he doesn't seem to care at all that his actions have broken up his family.
His baby mama wants to put the scandal behind her and "move on with her life for the sake of her mental health, True, and the sake of her family," a source dished to Us Weekly.
"No one else from the family is planning to do anything more. They want everyone to move on," the source added.
We really hope Khlo doesn't forgive this loser again!

Oh boo hoo you monster.
R. Kelly gave his first sit-down interview to CBS since his arrest for 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four alleged victims, and the singer swears we've got it all wrong.
"People are going back to my past and they’re trying to add [up] all of this stuff… to make all of this stuff that’s going on now feel real to people," he said in reference to the claims he had sex with underage girls and kept them as sex slaves.
When interviewer Gayle King reminded him that the information is relevant given the charges against him, he lashed out.
"Absolutely, no it’s not [relevant] because, for one, I beat my case. When you beat something, you beat it," he insisted, referencing his 2008 sexual assault case with another underage girl.
When King pushed the issue, the "I Can Fly" crooner broke down in tears as he tried to proclaim his innocence.
"Forget how you feel about me! Hate me if you want to, love me if you want, but use your common sense. How stupid would it be for me with my crazy past and what I’ve been through to be like, ‘Oh right now, I think I need to be a monster and hold girls against their will, chain ’em up in my basement and don’t let ’em eat and don’t let ’em out?'," he revealed.
"Stop it. Y’all, quit playing! I didn’t do this stuff. This is not me! I’m fighting for my f—ing life!" he added.
So what's his reaction to all the "rumors" circulating about him?
"I’m very tired of all of the lies. I’ve been hearing things and seeing things on blogs. I’m just tired. All of them. Got little girls trapped in the basement … helicopters over my house trying to rescue someone that doesn’t need rescuing because they’re not in my house. Handcuffing people, starving people. I have a harem, what you call it — a cult. I don’t even really know what a cult is. But I know I don’t have one," he fumed.
The most outrageous part? He wants to blame social media for all his problems!
"You can start a rumor on a guy like me or a celebrity just like that. All you have to do is push a button on your phone and say, ‘So and so did this to me, R. Kelly did this to me.’ And if you get any traction from that, if you’re able to write a book from that, if you’re able to get a reality show … then any girl that I had a relationship in the past that it just didn’t work out, she can come and say the same exact thing. I’m talking about the power of social media," he explained.
Hey R. Kelly... #TimesUp on you, dude! He might not want to listen to what Michael Avanatti had to say about all of this to us when we caught him at Craig's in West Hollywood last night...
Luke Perry never fully recovered after suffering from a massive stroke last Wednesday, and his family was forced to make the most difficult decision on whether to keep him alive or let him go.
“Luke’s loved ones were hoping they’d pull him out of it after 48 hours or so. But he never recovered. It was devastating," a source dished to Us Weekly.
His fiancee Wendy Bauer and his children Jack, 21, and Sophie, 18, decided to take him off life support and were by his side when he passed, along with ex-wife Minnie Sharp and close family and friends.
His daughter just paid tribute to her dad on social media, and received an outpouring of support in the process.
"A lot has happened in this past week for me. Everything is happening so fast. I made it back from Malawi just in time to be here with my family, And in the past 24 hours I have received an overwhelming amount of love and support. I cannot individually respond to the hundreds of beautiful and heartfelt messages, but I see them, and appreciate you all for sending positivity to my family and I," she captioned a pic of her dad.
"I’m not really sure what to say or do in this situation, it’s something you aren’t ever given a lesson on how to handle, especially when it’s all happening in the public eye. So bear with me and know that I am grateful for all the love. Just, being grateful quietly,"she added.

Get it girl!
Kim Kardashian stepped out in Paris rocking a full leopard outfit yesterday, and we hate to say we LOVE it! The reality star knows how to grab attention, and head-to-toe animal print during fashion week is definitely the way to do it.
In other news, Kimmy K is just like the rest of us... she's obsessed with The Bachelor! We caught her checking updates on the remaining contestants while at dinner, and we're dying to know her thoughts on Colton jumping the fence after Cassie told him she wasn't "in love" with him.
We're surprised she wasn't reading up on the casual shade Taylor Swift just threw her way! The singer recently gave an interview to Elle, and opened up about her famous feud with Kimye.
"I learned that disarming someone’s petty bullying can be as simple as learning to laugh. In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously. A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet. The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life," she told the mag.
"I can’t tell you how hard I had to keep from laughing every time my 63-foot inflatable cobra named Karyn appeared onstage in front of 60,000 screaming fans. It’s the Stadium Tour equivalent of responding to a troll’s hateful Instagram comment with ‘lol.' It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it and thrive in spite of it," she added.

We're happy to see them cutting loose!
Khloe and Kylie put all their relationship drama with Tristan Thompson and Travis Scott behind them last night, as they celebrated Kylie's personal assistant Victoria's birthday at a roller rink. Kendall and Kourtney also joined in on the fun, but Kimmy K missed out on the occasion.
The LipKit queen and world's youngest billionaire has decided to forgive her rapper beau, after they had a "huge fight" when she suspected he was cheating. The Good American founder, however, has given her NBA player baby daddy the heave-ho.
"Khloe is getting better with every day that passes. Khloe and Tristan are still communicating and always will. Khloe is very big about 'I’m having the father of her child staying in her life no matter how bad things get.' They aren't getting back together and Khloe knows she needs to move on," a source dished to ET.
"It’s been hard for her to realize that, but she knows it’s for the best. Khloe is strong, but she’s really leaning on her family and friends during this time. She’s been spending a lot of time with her sisters and they’ve done a great job keeping her mind off things," the source added.
Who knew Kanye and Scott Disick would be the most trustworthy two of the K clan men?!

She really showed everyone!
Kylie Jenner, 21, has surpassed Mark Zuckerberg as the world's youngest billionaire, thanks to her wildly successful Kylie Cosmetics range, Forbes officially announced today. That's quite the accomplishment! For comparison, Zuckerberg made his first billion off Facebook when he was 23-years-old.
"I didn’t expect anything. I did not foresee the future. But [the recognition] feels really good. That’s a nice pat on the back," she told the mag after learning the news.
The reality star couldn't help but credit her fans for her success, either.
"It’s the power of social media. I had such a strong reach before I was able to start anything. I see [Kylie Cosmetics] going very far. I work really hard," she added.
As for the others?
Miranda Kerr's husband Evan Spiegel, 28, took the #6 spot for "youngest billionaires" with $2.1billion from Snapchat. Amazon's Jeff Bezos remains the richest man in the world with a net worth of $131 billion, with Bill Gates trailing behind $96.5 billion. Donald Trump also made the cut, as the 715th richest person in the world with $3.1 billion.
We bet Kimmy K is insanely jealous of her little sister right now!

Paris Jackson is reportedly concerned that Leaving Neverland, the documentary about her dad Michael's alleged pedophilia and child abuse, could destroy her hopes of making it on the big screen.
"Paris had hoped to launch a successful career in acting but fears Leaving Neverland has ruined her chances of it taking off. She was in a movie last year but believes the documentary is already scaring directors away because the abuse her father is accused of may put movie goers off her," a source dished to The Sun.
"It all comes down to marketing. The worry is that any movies she stars in will be derailed if Michael’s abuse scandal is all people think about when they see her on screen. She wants to act but knows this could affect those plans," the source added.
As for how she and siblings Prince and Blanket are dealing with the dark allegations against their late pop icon father?
"They can't believe it, because they know Wade. They can't believe what is going on. They are going through some troubling times. It's painful for them," uncle Jackie told E! News.
This is a lot for someone so young to have to cope with!

This is a big job!
Britney Spears' dad Jamie is her sole conservator now that lawyer Andrew Wallet is resigning his co-conservator role, court documents reveal.
"The conservatorship is engaged in numerous ongoing business activities requiring immediate attention and it therefore is in the best interest of the conservatee that the acceptance of Wallet’s resignation and the issuance of amended letters of conservatorship of the estate occur immediately and without delay,†the papers state.
"Substantial detriment, irreparable harm and immediate danger will result to the conservatee and her estate if the relief requested herein in not granted on an ex parte basis," they added.
Jamie has been overseeing Brit Brit's finances ever since her infamous 2008 breakdown, but the court documents indicate that he'd like to put another co-conservator in place.
As for her net worth? The pop princess has $41 million of intangible personal property, $2.27 million in tangible property, $8.35 million in real property and $3 million in annual gross income. Translation - Jamie has a lot of dough to look out for!
She's lucky she has someone to trust to keep watch over her bank account!
