Getting all their party supplies ahead of the Fourth of July!
Lady Gaga and her boyfriend Christian Carino stocked up on food and beverages at the grocery store in Malibu over the weekend, and the singer made the trip a little sexier in a pair of teeny denim cutoffs.
Mother Monster and her agent beau have been dating for six months, but she's already thinking of walking down the aisle! The pair "have been talking about a 2017 wedding, even as soon as this summer. Gaga loves the Hamptons and it’s on the short list for possible locations," a source recently dished to Life & Style.
Her man just needs to pop the question!
"All that’s left now is for Christian to get a ring — a huge one if he’s smart — and propose. Gaga wants to be out in nature and near the water when she says ‘I do'... [Christian] couldn’t agree more," the source added.

What awful news.
Maria Menounos has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent surgery to remove the golf-ball-size meningioma last month, she announced to People. Her health battle comes as her mom Litsa Menounos fights stage 4 brain cancer.
"This February I thought I had an ear infection so I went to a doctor, and he said, 'Your ears are the cleanest things I've ever seen. What else are you feeling?' I'd been getting light-headed on-set and having headaches. My speech had gotten slurred, and I was having difficulty reading the teleprompter. I said, 'I know you're going to think I'm crazy, but I think I have a brain tumor like my mom.'He said, 'I don't think you're crazy. Let's just get an MRI.' The next week I started feeling better, so I was like, 'I'm clearly paranoid.' So I kept pushing the MRI," she told the mag.
Although doctors have determined her tumor isn't cancerous and her prognosis is good, she's decided to leave her hosting position at E! News.
"I am so grateful for the past three years at E!, I had such an amazing time co-hosting with Jason Kennedy and working everyday with the wonderful roster of talent on the show including producers, staff and crew. It was such a special, good-hearted group and one I'll always consider family. A special thank you to Frances Berwick and Adam Stotsky for all the support they have shown me through the years especially during these tough times. I will truly miss everyone and looking forward to this next chapter in my life," she said in a statement.
So what has she learned from the ordeal?
"For me, I saw it as a huge blessing and a huge gift because I needed to change my life. We’re caretakers as women and we help everybody and we put ourselves last always. And I don’t think — at least for me — I guess I realized I didn’t value myself in a lot of ways. And so I think that that was a really important lesson," she explained tearfully during an emotional interview on Today.
“I want to start a family. You realize really quickly when something like this happens that nothing else really matters," she added.

Cuteness overload!
Kim and Kanye's son Saint West hit the park with his nanny and bodyguard on Sunday and boy does that kid love the jungle gym! The adorable tyke climbed, jumped in the sand, pointed at birds and cooed over a squirrel running up a tree. He even wore his baby Yeezys for the outing! Kim and Kanye stayed home -- Kanye was busy with his potential LAWSUIT against Jay Z (good lawd!) And Kim was busy with her new contouring kit, most likely.
Why wasn't Nori there? She was probably also busy with mom Kim's contouring kit -- Kim has said her just-turned-4-year-old daughter luuuuvs makeup. But how cute is this -- the little starlet-in-the-making knows when to kiss mommy all over her face and when not to ... she just has to ask if Kimommy has makeup on first! Check out this adorable clip from KUWTK ...

You didn't think they were sitting at home in Calabasas, did you?!
Nope - Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid have arrived, people -- and by arrived we mean, they've touched down in the City of Lights for stuff that's just too important and fabulous for us to even know about! Meetings with designers, lunches with ladies, shopping with sistas -- SO much stuff for these girls to do before they head down to St.Tropez or Ibiza or Portofino or wherever they're off to next. Because let's face it, t 21 and 20 years-old, respectively, they're richer than you and me -- they're richer than you and me combined!
And you might think Bella and Kendall don't always look so glamorous ... but they do :( Check out their looks as they stepped off the plane and checked in to their hotels. Fresh, fashionable, fabulous. Stop! It's seriously too much ...

Kanye West looked a little too happy Friday and maybe this was why!
After former mentor and business partner Jay-Z rapped about Kanye allegedly borrowing $20 million on his new album 4:44, Kanye hit back, by splitting with Jay's Tidal streaming music service.
Kanye claims Tidal owes him a bonus of more than $3 million for bringing 1.5 million new subscribers to the service when he released his album The Life of Pablo in February 2016, according to TMZ.
Apparently Kanye's lawyers have sent letters to Tidal recently, terminating the rapper's contract with the online service. West was one of the celeb co-owners of Tidal and he claims he wasn't reimbursed for his music videos that were streamed on the service but Tidal reps say Kanye didn't deliver the videos by the set deadlines.
Will Yeezy and Hova end up in court?! Looks like it!

If this doesn't confirm President Trump is the most unpatriotic president this country has ever had, the most ignorant of the Constitution and the First Amendment, I don't know what does ...
The leader of the free world Tweeted a video Sunday morning -- just ahead of our nation's July 4 Independence Day on which we celebrate our country's founding father's who gave us liberty and justice for all -- that shows a likeness of the President beating up the media -- specifically, CNN. It is beyond childish, it is a literal bashing of the media through a violent visual that only serves to confirm that Trump is not fit to serve. As former CBS anchorman Dan Rather says:
"Another day, another series of attacks by the President of the United States against the press. With the latest video tweet of Mr. Trump in essence symbolically attacking CNN, we once again witness the dangerous debasing of our democratic institutions.
To be outraged is obvious, but increasingly I feel the creep of dread and sadness. Dread at a sense that no one knows, least of all I fear Mr. Trump, where this all may lead. And sadness that this spectacle is now the norm of the United States."
This is where we are, folks; and as the Fourth of July is neigh, let's try to forget this idiot attack on our sacred institutions and "Stand up for what you believe and resist the powers that be ... so that the children can be free ..." Yeah, Neil Young's new single's pretty cheesy, but we prefer cliched lyrics about real patriotism to the anger and violence Trump promotes! Happy 4th, y'all!

Kanye doesn't give a flying $%&* about Jay Z's new single "Kill Jay Z," in which the 4:44 rapper claims West borrowed $20 million and goes on to address Kanye's concert rant back in November in which he slammed his mentor for not calling him after Kim was robbed at gunpoint in Paris.
We caught up with Kanye Friday at his office in Calabasas where he's probably working on some new Adidas designs and perhaps planning is own revenge single to address Jay Z's latest song.
Meanwhile, in Jay's new track, he addresses Kanye's 2004 single "College Dropout" in these lyrics: "You dropped outta school, you lost your principles / You gave him 20 million without thinkin'. He gave you 20 minutes on stage, f--k was he thinking'?"
It's all cool, though -- maybe -- because Kim and Kanye visited Bey and Jay at the couple's rented Bel Air mansion back in January, post Kanye breakdown. We imagine some apologies were made for the rant and all was smoothed over. But will Jay's new single reopen the wound and start a new feud? Kanye looks too happy to care! Hell, maybe he was on the phone congratulating Jay on 4:44 and on little Rumi and Sir!

"I am devasted and heartbroken by this accident. My heartfelt condolences go out to the family and friends of Jerome Barson and I continue to keep them in my thoughts and prayers," tennis star Venus Williams posted on Facebook Friday after a 78-year-old man died in a car accident she allegedly caused on June 9.
Williams' attorney denies his client's fault in the accident but the deceased's wife says, according to a police report, that she had been approaching an intersection when Williams’ Toyota SUV darted suddenly, causing Linda to T-bone Williams' vehicle. Williams told police she had was trying to make it through traffic while driving 5 miles per hour when she had to slow down, causing her SUV to block the right of way. Another driver at the scene alleged that Williams had sped into the intersection, though Williams’ lawyer disputed the claim, according to Us Weekly.
Linda suffered broken bones but her husband was rushed to the hospital and died in ICU two weeks later. The Barson family is suing the 37-year-old tennis star and sister of Serena Williams.
