Kendall Jenner was happy to leave half of her skirt behind for a Met Gala after-party in NYC ... and she seemed content to leave A$AP Rocky back there as well.

Kendall and A$AP hit up 1 OAK after the Met Gala Monday night, where she was looking pretty damn hot in almost half of a leather mini skirt barely held together by strings.

Two passengers started throwing haymakers at each other on board a flight Monday from Tokyo to LAX ... and one ended up in handcuffs.

The fight broke out right before an All Nippon Airways flight took off from Tokyo. According to another passenger ... the men were arguing about something when the brawl started. The men threw punch after punch ... even after a flight attendant and other passengers tried to jump in between them.

Once security boarded the plane ... one of the guys yelled, "You think I'm crazy? What about the government?!"

One of the combatants -- a 44-year-old American -- was removed and reportedly choked an airline employee in the terminal. He was arrested for assault.

There must be something in the water ... a little more than a week ago, a brawl erupted between Delta passengers and even the pilot got a shot in.

A rep for ANA says, "All Nippon Airways apologizes to our passengers on flight 6 to Los Angeles for the pre-flight incident. The individuals involved have been dealt with appropriately."

A super popular musician in Atlanta collapsed onstage Monday as the crowd celebrated his 70th birthday.

Col. Bruce Hampton -- known as the Granddaddy of the Jam Scene -- was in the middle of an encore -- "Turn on Your Lovelight" -- when he suddenly collapsed onstage.

The band kept playing, as if nothing happened ... people thought it was all part of the performance.

Sadly, it wasn't. When people realized it was for real, Hampton was rushed to a hospital where he died.

Just when you thought you were starting to understand fashion ... in cometh the 2017 Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

But just because you have no idea what's going on in the fashion world doesn't mean you can't gawk and, way more fun ... judge.

It's probably the most fun event of the year in New York City ... hands down.

Nick Cannon says the woman who was killed in the San Diego area mass shooting over the weekend was a dear friend.

Monique Clark was the only fatality in the shooting Sunday in La Jolla ... where 7 other people were injured. Nick posted a childhood photo of himself, Monique and another friend. He said she was "Such a beautiful spirit with an infectious smile. I have nothing but wonderful memories of this Angel."

Monique was murdered by Peter Selis when he randomly opened fire on a birthday party at an apartment pool. Police say he was distraught over a recent breakup, and even phoned his ex-girlfriend while he opened fire. Officers eventually shot and killed him.

The Met Gala just kept on going Monday night ... with big stars making a big exit at The Mark Hotel.

Check out the clip of some of the best dressed leaving and then coming back to the famous hotel, which is just a stone's throw from the Met.

You see Tom Brady and Gisele, Anna Wintour, Celine Dion, Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez making their escape earlier in the day ... and later Halle Berry, Sarah Paulson and Lupita Nyong'o circling back around ... not nearly as fast, though.

Bradley Cooper's more than just a pretty face ... he's got a pretty voice too.

Bradley literally put on a performance filming at The Greek Theater in L.A. for "A Star is Born."

It's interesting ... these kinda scenes are usually recorded in a studio and what's performed onstage is usually lip-synched. But Bradley here's doing the real thing ... at least from what we can hear.

Blink-182 guitarist Matt Skiba feels good about his band's decision to bail on the Fyre Festival, but horrible for the people who got stuck.

Matt was at LAX Monday ... he's no Nostradamus but says the band had a sinking feeling Fyre was bad news ... but it was still painful to watch the festival unravel.

WWE legend X-Pac was arrested at LAX over the weekend after cops say he tried to carry meth and marijuana through customs ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Jimmy Kimmel was on the verge of tears during his opening monologue Monday as he described the terrifying experience immediately after the birth of his son ... who needed life-saving heart surgery.

Jimmy's son, Billy, was born a little over a week ago and seemed fine at first ... but hours later was diagnosed with a heart condition that required open heart surgery.

The comedian says Billy's pulmonary valve was completely blocked, and he also had a hole in the wall between the left and right sides of his heart. His first open heart surgery was apparently a success ... but Jimmy says he'll have to have more operations in the future.

It's a pretty emotional clip ... grab the tissues.

Aries Spears wants payback from the radio host who brutally attacked him with repeated blows to the head, and he's out to get it in court ... TMZ has learned.

Aries will file a lawsuit as early as today against Zo Williams and the internet-based radio station where the now legendary flurry of fists went down last month. You'll recall ... Williams unleashed punch after punch after punch when Spears joked "light skinned n***as" like Zo always get loud.

Spears didn't put up a fight in-studio, but we're told that will change in court. Aries feels he was booked at the station to be a comedian, and was merely doing that when Williams attacked a "defenseless and innocent" person.

Aries says what he did is the same kinda stuff Chris Rock does, but he got bashed so badly his injuries affected his ability to perform.

Another comeback for Julian Edelman?

Just a few months after calling it quits, the Patriots WR and supermodel Adriana Lima reconnected in NYC Monday night to party together after the Met Gala ... but it's not exactly a reconciliation.

The two were spotted together hitting up Rihanna's after-party at 1 OAK -- where they arrived in the same car.

Our sources tell us things were pretty frosty between the two after they split earlier this year -- but it seems the ice has thawed. We're told they're definitely NOT back together but it's clear they're on much better terms.

Edelman and Lima were not each other's dates for the Gala -- Edelman arrived to the affair with fellow Pats WR Danny Amendola and they sat at Tom Brady's table.

The Delta brawl that ended with a pilot smacking a passenger started over a blood clot.

TMZ has obtained the police report which includes statements from the 3 women who were fighting in and out of the jetliner. Two of them were cousins, one of whom suffered from blood clots which were exacerbated by sitting on the plane.

The 2 women tried cutting in front of a female passenger who was taking her sweet time. She was blocking them as they explained one of them needed to get off the plane because of her medical condition. The passenger was unmoved and just stared at her phone, which set the 2 women off.

According to the police report, the 3 women started arguing and things got really hot as they entered the jetway ... and that's when the fight erupted.

You know the rest ... one of the cousins got the 3rd woman in a choke hold, and the pilot grabbed her arm and hit her so she would release her grip.

As for injuries .. the 3rd woman had a torn, bloody nail and a bite on her hand. All 3 had facial scratches.

Whoever said good artists borrow and great artists steal may have been looking at Monday night's Met Gala with a smile ... 'cause Hollywood was all about it.

Check out some of the biggest (and most familiar) looks from the red carpet at the Metropolitan Museum or Art, where Flavor Flav's white suit and top hat, The Weeknd's old 'do and the classic blue Snuggie resurfaced in some of the stars' outfits.

Festival goers who showed up for the ill-fated Fyre festival in the Bahamas were locked in the airport terminal for hours as security put a chain-link fence around the building to make sure they didn't get out ... so claim the lawyers who are repping some of the folks in a $100 million lawsuit.

Check out the pic ... you see someone who works at the airport locking the doors as frustrated, exhausted passengers waited for a plane to take them back to the U.S. Mark Geragos, the lawyer who filed the case, tells us some of the passengers passed out from lack of water and the heat.

And look at the pic below ... Geragos says it was taken when one of the festival goers first arrived. Fyre was on fire.

Colin Kaepernick is a hero to ex-convicts and men still behind bars ... so says a community organizer who Colin blessed with a huge donation.

TMZ Sports spoke with Kevin Livingston of 100 Suits For 100 Men, a NYC based company that provides free outfits, haircuts and life skills to men who have been incarcerated at least 5 years.

Kevin says Kaep's girlfriend Nessa put the two men in touch after doing an interview with Hot 97 ... and the NFL QB couldn't have been more generous ... personally delivering 50 custom suits to the organization.

"He was a great partner," Livingston says. "He went above and beyond all expectations to help give these guys a second chance."

"He's a hero in my eyes, he's a hero in the eyes of the guys who are going to be receiving these suits. Colin you're the man to me, you're a hero to the men of South Jamaica Queens."

Kevin also had a message for all the Kaepernick haters out there.

"What are you doing?"
