Bill Maher has dodged the bullet that annihilated Kathy Griffin -- NONE of his upcoming tour dates have been canceled ... despite his use of the n-word on HBO.

Bill's smack in the middle of a comedy tour, with a ton of Summer tour dates looming. We made calls to every venue on the list ... none have pulled the plug, at least not yet.

Tickets are on sale at all venues that haven't sold out already ... and a lot have. Interestingly ... staff at a majority of the venues we reached told us they didn't even hear of Friday night's incident. And if they did, they were either "looking into it" ... or "going on as planned."

You'll recall ... Maher cracked a joke in response to Republican Sen. Ben Sasse about adults wearing Halloween costumes in Nebraska ... casually invoking the racial slur. He apologized the next day ... and HBO condemned the remark but has no plans to take him off he air.

As you know, Kathy Griffin felt the wrath that escaped Bill ... all of her upcoming concerts were axed. Her screw-up was arguably more visceral and controversial.

Maher might have lucked out when his story got pushed to the recesses of headlines after this weekend's terror attack and a benefit concert.

Khloe Kardashian says she's the victim of theft and betrayal by her former friend whom Khloe considered part of her family.

Khloe took to Twitter over the weekend shedding some light on the incident and asking followers, "What would you do if you found out a friend was stealing from you?"

Khloe hasn't yet filed a lawsuit or police report, but, sources close to the situation tell us she's already talked to her lawyers, claiming the friend charged tens of thousands of dollars in designer clothes to Khloe's credit card ... clothes that didn't end up in her closet.

We're also told Khloe believes high-end designers sent her all sorts of stuff but the friend never turned it over to her.

In all, Khloe believes a small fortune was taken.

We're told Khloe's mulling over a lawsuit but hasn't decided yet. Her friends are urging her not to sue, because it will ruin the friend's career.

Bill Maher will not be benched for his comment about "house n*****" ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us, HBO will not yank Bill from the air or fire him for the comment he made to Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse on last Friday's show.

Maher apologized quickly and the fallout from the comment got quickly lost after the London terrorist attack.

By the way ... the fact that HBO does not run advertisements makes the situation vastly different from networks that advertise ... HBO will not lose money because it's subscription-based and, realistically, very few people would unsubscribe. Maher's show will stand or fall on ratings.

Halle Berry is not pregnant ... repeat, not pregnant ... this according to reliable sources very close to the actress.

This pic raised some eyebrows over the weekend, but Halle shot the rumors down, saying, "Can a girl have some steak and fries??"

Now, she could be lying, but we know she's telling people super close to her it's not true, and she's not really dating anyone anyway.

The 50-year-old has 2 kids.

Blue Ivy Carter was center stage for her ballet recital, and even provided an exclamation point with some spins she, no doubt, has seen mom pull off a few times.

The 5-year-old's braids were flying Saturday during her school's recital ... where all the kids were clearly well-rehearsed, 'cause they nailed their routine to Earth, Wind & Fire's "September."

Beyonce and Jay Z gotta be proud -- the world-class performers' genes they clearly handed down to Blue Ivy were on full display.

Who says ballet can't be swag?

Ariana Grande's One Love Manchester concert had nearly 50,000 united in song as they left the show -- all except one guy ... who left in handcuffs.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ out of the massive crowd at the Old Trafford cricket ground, police made just the one arrest. We're told the bloke was busted for drunk and disorderly conduct.

The sole perp was arrested in the middle of audience after he started to get disruptive. Cops hauled him away before anything got out of hand. The fact it didn't -- in such a large crowd -- shows the mood in Manchester was all about compassion.

In this case ... one bad apple did NOT spoil the whole bunch.

NBA star Chandler Parsons continues to surround himself with some of the hottest women in Hollywood -- this time, he was out sunbathing in L.A. with model Hailey Baldwin.

The two caught some rays at the pool at the Montage in Beverly Hills -- and we're told the poolside tourists couldn't take their eyes off 'em ... probably due to the fact he's 6'10" and she looks insane in a bikini.

So, let's get to the point -- are they banging? Our sources say no -- they're just good friends who've known each other for a while and hang out when they're in the same city.

Too bad ... for both of 'em.

Bella Thorne is making improvements in the guy department by picking guys like Charlie Day over Scott Disick ... this according to Charlie Day.

We got Charlie arriving at LAX over the weekend where he told us he'd actually heard about Bella tweeting she wants to marry him -- and while he seems genuinely flattered ... there's an issue: Charlie's wife.

The 'Always Sunny in Philadelphia' star makes it pretty clear the 19-year-old actress can forget about a menage a trois -- even if she keeps going out in see-through tops.

The One Love Manchester concert was an enormous hit on several levels, and now we know that includes financially.

Sources involved in organizing the concert tell TMZ, the count right now is $12 million, but they expect it to go higher ... millions higher.

As one source put it, "When it's all counted it should be enough to take care of the victims and their families."

The concert drew 55 thousand people, despite a warning from the UK government that another attack was likely.

Bill Cosby just showed up for his sexual assault trial, and he walked in arm-in-arm with his former 'Cosby' co-star, Keshia Knight Pulliam.

Cosby faces 3 counts of aggravated indecent assault for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004 at his home.

The judge has allowed one other alleged victim to testify because prosecutors want to show Cosby had an M.O.

The jury of 12 has 2 African-Americans.

Justin Bieber showed everyone fear would not blind him ... as he strolled the streets of Manchester after the hugely successful One Love Manchester concert.

Justin and a pal hit up the Australasia Restaurant and Bar after he arguably stole the show with his performance.

Scooter Braun -- who along with Ariana masterminded the event -- mugged with his 2 big stars backstage during the concert.

The event raised millions for victims and families of victims in the terror attack 2 weeks ago following Ariana's concert.

Liam Gallagher is blasting his brother for not putting their legendary Oasis war aside to perform at the One Love Manchester concert.

Liam did show up, and even performed with Coldplay -- despite having dissed Chris Martin in the past -- but his bro, Noel Gallagher, was noticeably absent. Hours after the concert, Liam went HAM on Noel, saying he should have gotten "on a f**king plane and play your tunes for the kids you sad f**k."

The attack on Noel makes it seem like an Oasis reunion show will NOT be in the offing. Liam tweeted as much to a fan.

Noel's yet to say a peep, but his baby mama took a shot at Liam, tweeting (then deleting) ... "Maybe he’s busy looking after his kids and the daughter you’ve never even met!"

There's only so much Ariana Grande can do.

6/6/17 7:30 AM PT -- Chris Martin of Coldplay saw things differently, and tweeted a thank-you to Noel Gallagher for "being there in spirit and for lending us those incredible songs."

He stated they knew in advance Noel wouldn't be there, and shows nothing but love for both the Gallagher brothers.

Thousands of people chanted "Manchester We're Strong" as they left the Old Trafford cricket ground following the One Love Manchester concert.

You didn't see it on TV or online ... but the crowd doubled down with resolve as they left the venue. It's especially meaningful because the UK government had warned -- in the wake of Saturday's London terrorist attack -- another attack was likely.

And check out the video below ... concertgoers on a tram sang the Oasis song, "Don't Look Back in Anger."

"And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away
But don't look back in anger
I heard you say"

Usher wasn't at the One Love Manchester concert for two very good reasons -- his son needed him and, more to the point, he wasn't ever scheduled to perform at the concert.

Usher says Sunday was his son's first day at a camp for kids with diabetes. As he put it, "This was an important day for him and for myself as a proud father." He added ... "Stay strong UK."

As for why everyone was expecting him to be at the show -- a UK publicist for the concert initially announced Usher and David Beckham would be "making appearances." We're told that was a reference to recorded messages both made, which were played during the concert ... and NOT live performances or appearances.

The publicist eventually took their names off the list, but by that point ... word had spread.

Still, Usher said ... "So happy to see that last night's concert in Manchester proved that love always prevails."

Kodak Black is a free man after completing a voluntary life skills course behind bars that made him eligible for early release.

Kodak was released Monday morning from Broward County Jail after serving 97 days of a 364 day sentence for violating house arrest. He's now back on house arrest for another year. He'll need to request permission from his probation officer and court if he wants to travel anywhere for work, even inside Florida.

As we reported, his trouble adhering to house arrest is what landed him in jail. He bolted without permission at least 2 times, once to hit up a strip club.

We're told KB's prison life skills course covered domestic violence, parenting, financial management -- and, perhaps most importantly ... problem solving and self-control skills.

THIS IS AN INSANELY CLOSE CALL!!!

The hot bikini chick in this video came THIIIIIS close to getting destroyed by a parachute skier screaming down a run-in Washington ... and the entire crazy scene was caught on video.

The footage was shot at the Sesh Up 2017 ski and snowboard event on May 21 at Mt. Baker.

We're told the group of people on the mountain were just hanging out and having a good time in an area they THOUGHT was safe from paraskiers.

They were wrong.
