He's Younes Bendjimas' doppelgänger!
Kourtney Kardashian certainly has a type! The eldest Kardashian girl brought along a new, young hottie to Wednesday night Hillsong church service in West Hollywood and the tall, dark, and handsome dude is a spitting image of her male model es Younes Bendjima.
Kourt and her boy toy arrived just after her former flame Justin Bieber arrived without wife Hailey Baldwin. So there are all sorts of theories swirling ... 1) a source tells us Hailey backed off from attending church to give space to the troubled Selena Gomez to worship without the stress of her ex Justin's new wife being there; 2) Hailey couldn't make it last night but is PISSED that Justin and Kourtney coordinated to go "together" and the Younes look-alike is a gay stylist friend who's a cover for Kourt really hanging out with JB last night and 3) Justin and Kourtney's attendance has nothing to do with Hailey not being there and Hailey's absence has nothing to do with Selena. What do YOU think???

Khloe and Kanye aren't stupid -- they're not gonna wear their designer best in the rain!
The two KUWTK cast members dressed down for a rainy day of taping at their Calabasas studio. Kanye wore a khaki waterproof windbreaker to match his blonde-ish/khaki-ish hair color , black sweatpants, and black Yeezys.
And though Khloe wore rubber slides, she did accessorize with a baby blue baby Birkin! And her biggest, baddest accessory of all was her new Rolls Royce SUV! You've GOT to see how she maneuvers the $250K ride out of the studio parking lot -- she almost CRASHES that bad boy!!! Watch the video!!!

Justin Bieber's flying solo! The singer attended Wednesday evening Hillsong church service WITHOUT wife Hailey Baldwin last night ... meanwhile, former flame Kourtney Kardashian was there -- with a new guy (more on that later).
Justin wore his usual Fear of God Essentials sweatpants and a Goosebumps cap as he braved the rain in order to worship. No word on where Hailey was ... but a source tells us her absence is an effort to leave space for Selena Gomez to return: "Hailey wants to pull back and allow Selena to go back to Hillsong. Hailey knows if she's there Selena doesn't feel comfortable so she'll worship on her own and put the message out that Selena can go if she wants. And all of this was Justin's idea."
Earlier in the day Justin was at his favorite restaurant -- a poke place in Beverly Hills just down the street from the his NEW HOUSE! Stay tuned for EXCLUSIVE news on the $8M mansion he and Hailey just started renting!
Oh no she didn't! A fellow volunteer at one of Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle's new patronages -- the animal charity Mayhew -- called the pregnant royal "fat!" And Meghan loved it!
The gracious duchess was being greeted by fellow volunteers at the animal shelter and one elderly woman Peggy McEachrom said, "What a lovely lady you are. And a fat lady!" Markle laughed and said, "I'll take it!" McEachrom, originally from Jamaica, went on to speculate that Markle is carrying a boy. She and Prince Harry have decided not to learn the gender of their baby until the birth so Meghan replied, "Oh, you think it’s going to be a boy?†It’s a surprise. We don’t know what we’re having. I ask everyone what they think, and everyone has a very strong opinion about it."
The visit just got cuter, as Markle bonded with a pup Roobarb and posed for photos.
Something we think is worth noting, too -- in contrast with U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, Meghan seems a bit more considerable about her wardrobe for public appearance (and/or she has a way better and more intelligent stylist). After Melania has worn a "I don't really care, do you?" jacket to visit flood victims, heels to visit hurricane victims in Puerto Rico, and an English colonial-era pith hat during her trip to Africa. Duchess Meghan, by contrast, chose a Stella McCartney Falabella tote for her visit to the animal charity. McCartney is, of course, British; so that's a plus -- but more than anything, she's one of the very few vegan designers -- no leather, no fur, no animal testing, no animal products. So when volunteering for animals, she chose an animal-friendly designer. Makes sense, right? Thoughtful, right? Maybe Melania should take note ...

Wedding bells are ringing! Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's engagement announcement is forthcoming, according to a new Us Weekly.
So that means he's already proposed ... that means they're ALREADY engaged! The two Voice coaches have been dating since 2015 and apparently Stefani's three boys are in love with the country singer. Gwen and Blake have collab'ed together musically; travelled together; worked together -- they've done it all and their relationship has endured so putting a ring on it seems like the next natural step!
Back in April, Gwen gushed to Ellen about her boyfriend and hinting at marriage ...
So when will these two start sending out invites? And before that ... how will they make the big announcement? Probably like all celebs (and the rest of humanity) these days -- our bet is that it'll be on social media!

Amazon chief Jeff Bezos' affair with his friend Patrick Whitesell's wife Lauren Sanchez gets even MORE scandalous!
We all thought their respective spouses were blindsided by the National Enqirer report that outed the couple's affair but we're finding out that's NOT the case. Whitesell, a bigwig Hollywood agent, and MacKenzie, a novelist and social activist, already knew their spouses were hooking up, according to a new People magazine report.
It wasn't until the news went public that Jeff and MacKenzie announced their separation via Twitter but they'd been planning that statement: "Their families dealt with this in the fall," a source told the mag.
The source says the two struck up a relationship while working on several projects together and "gradually" developed romantic feelings for each other. But it was Bezos and Whitesell that were first friends and then dinners with spouses led to Jeff and Lauren striking up a relationship on their own. And seriously ... WHO DOES PROJECTS WITH THEIR FRIEND'S WIFE???!!!
Well MacKenzie's the one who'll be laughing all the way to the bank. The richest man in the world (said to be worth $137 BILLION) didn't have a pre-nup with his wife so she'll be 50% and PERHAPS controlling interest in Amazon. What will investors do? Well so far, Wall Street doesn't give a damn. If we all keep subscribing to Prime and buying our entire LIVES on Amazon.com, the e-commerce site should continue to thrive.

What the heck is going on?! Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin were BACK at the Amen Clinic in Encino yesterday -- a clinic that brands itself a "psychiatric and brain health care" treatment center. We're worried!
With all the doctors' visits the couple's been making and with the scary trembling episodes (see HERE and HERE) Justin's had over the past year, we're concerned there's something serious going on ... but at least he's getting help?
Later Tuesday evening, Hailey got caught in the rain after a meeting in Beverly Hills and as she walked to her car in the dark, she looked somber ... maybe even sad. She's definitely standing by her man and helping him through whatever it is he's going through. In fact, Justin's mom Pattie Mallette gushed about her daughter-in-law recently, saying: "What a gift!" as the caption of a selfie with the young model kissing her cheek. And it was taken in LA yesterday, so mama Bieber's in town! Is she visiting with her son as he seeks treatment?
