Chris Brown & Karrueche Tran Run-In at Kylie's Party ... NOT Good Times
Chris Brown and his ex, Karrueche Tran, both showed up at Kylie Jenner's birthday party, and judging by the look on Karrueche's face ... it will be a looong time before it happens again.
We got video of Chris showing up with Scott Disick and cruising into the party. Everyone seemed happy.
The exit shot ... not so much. Karrueche walked out with girlfriends and when we asked how it was hanging out with Chris -- well ... you really just have to see her facial expression. Kinda says it all.
Karrueche dumped Chris more than a year ago after finding out he'd knocked up Nia Guzman.
Time doesn't necessarily heal all.

Prince Everything Must Go ... Estate Ready to Dump Properties
Prince's massive real estate holdings are about to hit the open market ... if his estate gets a judge's approval.
The special administrator of Prince's estate has filed a request to start unloading various real estate holdings. It won't be a fire sale though ... according to the docs, the estate says it will only accept offers that are at least 90% of fair market value.
It's unclear exactly which of his properties will be for sale -- the court has sealed that part of the request -- but Prince is known to have real estate in Minnesota, Beverly Hills, New York and possibly more. His Minnesota holdings alone have been estimated at nearly $30 mil.
The move is a sign Prince's heirs are looking to liquidate his assets rather than hold onto 'em for sentimental reasons.
The judge still needs to sign off on the deal.

Pauly D I'm Done with Aubrey O'Day But She Doesn't Know It
Pauly D's 9-month relationship with Aubrey O'Day is over and he's already trying to erase her from memory ... TMZ has learned.
According to our sources the DJ and the singer ended things over the weekend -- just a few days after she left to shoot "Celebrity Big Brother." The exes actually got together while shooting another reality show -- "Famously Single" -- last Fall.
It's unclear what set off this split. They'd broken up for a few days back in May, but this time Pauly's scrubbed all images of her from his social media ... and there were a lot of them.
Here's the thing ... if Aubrey's sequestered in the 'BB' house, we're guessing she has no clue she's single.
Last week when she left for 'BB' she posted a pic of Pauly with her 2 dogs, saying ... "My dearest hubby, I will miss you so much. You are my best friend, my love, my person, my soulmate!"
Whatever.
Miss Teen USA Pageant Ripped for Being White Chicks 2 ... Winner Liked to Use N-Word
The Miss Teen USA pageant looked like a snowstorm in Las Vegas -- that's how a lot of people saw it due to a severe lack of diversity when Miss Texas Karlie Hay was crowned.
Hay was crowned Saturday night ... and viewers couldn't help but notice the top 5 were ALL blonde haired, blue eyed chicks. To be fair, it wasn't only the top 5 who looked like that.
As Chrissy Teigen put it ... "Wow how can we choose from such a diverse bunch."
To make matters worse -- almost immediately after 18-year-old Hay grabbed her tiara and bouquet, a bunch of tweets from 2013 bit her in the ass. Turns out she liked to use the n-word when referring to her friends.
The racial insensitivity had many people on social media calling for Miss Teen USA to dethrone Hay, but the pageant says it's sticking with her -- and she's sort of apologized, saying she's not proud of the language she used in the past, but says she's a "better person today."

Beyonce LAPD Target Beyhivers For Alleged 'Becky' Hack
Beyonce's most rabidly loyal fans took things up a notch and hacked her one-time nemesis Rachel Roy ... at least that's where the clues are pointing the LAPD.
You'll remember, Rachel had a rumored history with Jay Z and took heat from the Beyhive when "Lemonade" dropped. Didn't help that a few hours after the release Rachel posted a pic with the caption, "Good hair don't care" -- stirring 'Hivers to think she was "Becky with the good hair."
According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Rachel called cops a few days later saying her Gmail and iCloud accounts had been hacked. She also said her cell phone number had been changed without her permission.
In the docs, Rachel makes it clear ... she believes all the trouble stemmed from that "Good hair don't care" IG post. Remember, she'd also been heavily spammed on all her social media with bee emojis -- the Beyhive's calling card.
LAPD sources tell us they've obtained a search warrant to dig into phone and email records, and right now the working theory is the perp goes buzzzzzzz.

"American Horror Story" fans are going to get a dose of seriously creepy history in season 6 ... at least based on these pics we got from the set.
TMZ has obtained the first shots from the 'AHS' set in Santa Clarita, CA ... and one word etched into a tree is a HUGE hint about the theme: CROATOAN.
If you paid attention in school ... you remember that word from the mystery of Roanoke -- the 1590 North Carolina colony where 117 people vanished. The only clue was the word "CROATOAN" -- a nearby Native tribe -- carved into bark. There have been all kinds of creepy legends about the colony.

Hope you don't scare easily.

Britney Spears I've Never Met Taylor Swift ... (Yes She Did, Twice)
Taylor Swift failed to make an impression on Britney Spears ... either of the TWO times they met.
Britney was on Australia's KIIS radio with Kyle and Jackie O, when they asked who she'd prefer making the long ass flight to Aussie land with -- Katy Perry or Taylor? Brit's pick was Taylor, and her explanation was logical.
She'd already met Katy, so she'd rather hang with Taylor "because I’ve never met her before.”
Ehhh ... yes you did, Brit. Most recently in 2008 at the VMAs, and another time when Taylor was just getting started in the biz.
Hey, a lot's happened in the last 8 years. We get it.

EXCLUSIVE

Miss Cleo catered to true believers right up until her final days, looking into their futures from the comfort of her home ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Miss Cleo tell us she had a fiercely loyal bunch who called her for readings, and even some who flew to her in Florida to peer into the future. We're told Cleo did Tarot card readings and sometimes just provided plain old life advice ... of the non-psychic variety.
We're told these followers believed she had a true gift, and wasn't just acting for the iconic Psychic Readers Network TV spots in the '90s.
TMZ broke the story ... Miss Cleo died Tuesday after battling cancer.
Despite the hotline reportedly making more than $1 billion, she made very little ... reportedly $1,750 for 3 days of work on her first ad. Still, she did get a small percentage of every phone call and our sources say she lived comfortably.

Destiny's Child Singer I Got a Divorce ... But I Want It On the DL
LeToya Luckett, one of the 4 original members of Destiny's Child, just got a divorce ... and took careful steps to stop it from getting messy in public.
Luckett and ex-hubby Rob Hillman tied the knot back in January but split after just 2 months and change. The divorce was just finalized, and according to docs it all seems pretty cordial -- with such a short marriage there wasn't much community property to divvy up.
The one celebrity difference -- the clause about "Social media postings/public statements." It states neither will make public statements about each other or "provide photos, videos, recordings or other documents" to media outlets and blogs.
That's not typical divorce petition language, but the translation is clear: No leaked sex tapes here.
Sorry, pervs.
