Kylie Jenner Looked Concerned During Travis Scott’s Set, Unaware of Situation

Kylie Jenner seemed to be aware something was amiss during Travis Scott's set, evidenced in her serious demeanor shortly after he took the stage ... something you can now see on video. TMZ has obtained concert footage we're told was taken about 10 minutes into Travis' performance, which eyewitnesses say got underway at 9 PM sharp ... and went on for about an hour and 15 minutes, drastically different from Houston PD's timeline of just 40 minutes. Check out the clip ... you see Kylie, Kendall and a bunch of their entourage/security detail hanging out under a tent that's a ways away from the stage ... literally plopped down in the middle of a massive crowd that was surrounding them. At this point, Kylie appears solemn. As you can see, she's wearing a face mask and has...

Elon Musk May Have to Risk Having $25 Billion Taxed After Twitter Poll

Elon Musk s about to lose a big chunk of his fortune, assuming he follows through on what he said he'd do ... namely, sell off a ton of stock based on nothing but public consensus. The Tesla chief entertained a wild concept over the weekend ... the notion that he'd literally unload a crap ton of his company shares -- 10% of it, no less -- if Twitter users deemed it necessary for him to do so ... and then posting a 24-hour poll to that end. He wrote, "Much is made lately of unrealized gains being a means of tax avoidance, so I propose selling 10% of my Tesla stock. Do you support this?" EM added ... "I will abide by the results of this poll, whichever way it goes." Welp, the people have spoken ... and as it turns out, they're down for Elon to lower his net worth some -- with n...

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson Meet at Restaurant Two Nights in a Row

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson very much appear to be an item ... well, maybe something more flingy than that ... the two just met up for the second night in a row. K&P joined a group of friends for dinner at Zero Bond in NYC. The pair arrived separately, Pete first and then Kim -- dressed in Balenciaga sunglasses and a black dress -- about 10 minutes later. If the two grabbing dinner sounds familiar, it should ... Pete and Kim chowed down at Campania in Staten Island Tuesday night after they were escorted through a back entrance and treated to a very private meal. This time, things weren't as intimate -- with others breaking bread with them -- but to hang out 3x in less than a week, not to mention cross-country ... well, it's starting to sound like a thing. As for why ...

Ethiopia’s war marks one year.

(Photo by EDUARDO SOTERAS / AFP) A year ago, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed deployed troops in Ethiopia's Tigray region, launching a campaign that he vowed would be swift and targeted. Instead, it devolved into a prolonged war marked by atrocities and starvation, and fighting now threatens the Ethiopian capital. How did we get here? The 2019 Nobel Peace Prize winner said he aimed to detain and disarm leaders of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), the...

Governor Mutua said he’ll crush me to ashes – ex Lillian Ng’ang’a

The separation between Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua and his ex -Lilian Ng'ang'a - has taken an ugly turn, with the latter accusing the county chief of harassment and refusing to move on. In a press conference with her lawyer Philip Murgor on Thursday, Ng'ang'a accused the governor of gaining access to a vehicle she allegedly owns and having it sold. “Mutua, accompanied by his police guard, Martin Nzinghi arrived at my apartment parking lot at Kileleshwa, Nairobi, and without my knowledge or consent and using a spare key which he had legally obtained, drove way my personal motor vehicle KBY 186G- a car which had been fully registered in my name since 2014,” read part of Ng'ang'a's statement. She also alleges her shares in the hotel company she co-owned with the governor were...

‘Meta’ Trademark Applicants Will Sell to Facebook For $20M

It might not be smooth sailing for Mark Zuckerberg in his quest to change Facebook's identity, because we've learned someone was already ahead of him in trying to grab the "Meta" trademark ... and they're willing to give it up to Zuck for a steep price. Back in August, the founders of a company called Meta PC filed to trademark the word "Meta" for computers, laptops, tablets, software and more items relating to tech -- so, right in Facebook's wheelhouse. The founders, Joe Darger and Zack Shutt, tell us they've been operating Meta PC for a little over a year, but recently filed docs to formally trademark their brand. While Meta PC's trademark petition hasn't yet been granted, they still have a lead on Zuckerberg if he tries to claim it for his rebranded company. For ...

Kanye West Invites Marilyn Manson to Latest Sunday Service

Kanye West is continuing his friendship with Marilyn Manson -- going so far as to invite the guy to his newest Sunday Service ... and even going in on a prayer together. Ye kicked off a new round of worship and gospel singing Sunday -- and he invited the embattled rocker, who's been accused of sexual misconduct by several women, to join in on the gathering. Manson was standing front and center alongside the rest of the choir. Everyone was wearing white ... and some even had hoods and face coverings over their heads. At one point, Ye and MM bowed toward each other ... touching foreheads and closing their eyes. Speaking of eyes ... looks like Mr. West has lost his brows, and his hair. BTW, Manson wasn't the only famous person there ... one Justin Bieber was also on ha...
