Khloe is fully back with Tristan, much to the dismay of some of her fam, and Chris Brown's got another woman on his tail. So we gotta ask ...

Cowboys WR Cole Beasley says if you think he's just another athlete-turned-rapper you're dead wrong ... because he's just the opposite, telling TMZ Sports he's actually a rapper-turned-athlete.

Cole released a single "80 Stings" back in January, and the critical consensus from most people was that Beasley spit hot fire like Dylan.

We talked to Cole and his producer "Phazz" Clark ... and CB says the toughest thing about being an athlete that raps is that he isn't that at all.

"For this album to be a success, for me it's really just opening the door for people looking past the athlete trying to rap, to he's just a rapper who happens to play football."

FYI -- Cole's debut album, "The Autobiography," drops Saturday ... and Cole says his album release party is gonna have all the Cowboys there, bringing together one thing athletes and rappers do have in common:

Groupies. (Cole is married ladies).

If she wasn't already, it's time for Tommie Lee to get on the wagon ... unless she wants to get hauled back to jail.

The "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star's immediately required to wear a SCRAM Continuous Alcohol Monitoring device around her ankle as a new condition of her bail stemming from 2 legal cases in Fulton County, Georgia.

The judge handed down the order Friday ... along with a warning not to drink any alcohol until her cases are resolved.

We're told the device -- which detects alcohol consumption through sweat every 30 minutes -- is not provided by the court, so the $400-500 monthly cost comes out of Tommie's pocket.

It could have been worse for her, though -- we're told prosecutors pushed for getting her bond from her 2016 DUI arrest revoked due to her recent arrest for an alleged mall employee attack ... but the judge opted for the alcohol monitoring instead.

The crash of EgyptAir flight 804 into the Mediterranean Sea that killed 66 people was caused by a hot Apple product ... according to a new suit.

The families of several of the victims of the May 19, 2016 crash claim the tragedy was due to the co-pilot's iPhone 6S or iPad mini overheating in the cockpit and catching fire.

According to the docs ... an investigation revealed the device ignited and led to a bigger fire in the cockpit, which ultimately took the plane down.

It should be noted, however -- some industry experts have questioned this phone theory ... and believe the fire on the plane started beneath the cockpit in the avionics bay due to a short circuit or some kind of explosion.

Still, the families believe there's enough evidence to hold Apple responsible for the deaths of their loved ones ... so they're suing for damages. The airline is also listed on the suit.

Bill Cosby's criminal behavior should not overshadow the cultural impact "A Different World" had in the '80s and '90s -- and could still have today -- according to one of its stars, Kadeem Hardison.

We got Kadeem, aka Dwayne Wayne, at LAX and asked him about the show he and Lisa Bonet made a huge hit. Of course, it was a 'Cosby Show' spin-off -- but Kadeem insists Cosby's sexual assault conviction can't drag down the show.

Kadeem does give Cosby credit for one thing and one thing only. Beyond that ... he says the show's impact on black culture stands on its own, and says it can't be tarnished by its creator.

Kendall Jenner went from being barely covered in a bathing suit earlier in the day to practically naked walking a red carpet at Cannes.

Kendall required a mandatory double take in her sheer dress at the Chopard Secret Night party ... she arrived with very little support underneath. All she's wearing under her dress is a pair of nude underwear. They're hard to see but they're there.

Fact is, camera flashes have been known to expose a boob or two underneath sheer dresses ... and Cannes is known for being flash-heavy.

Still ... it appears Kendall knew exactly what she was doing, even if she played dumb on her Instagram.

John Barrowman's hatched an idea that'll benefit the homeless while simultaneously shading Target for an embarrassing incident.

We got the "Arrow" star Friday at LAX, and got an update on what happened after Target employees in West Hollywood tried to stop him from buying a homeless man a t-shirt, grooming kit and gift card. The store publicly promised to take some helpful action after the story went viral.

But, John tells us Target all but went radio silent -- so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

He's partnered up with the folks at Represent to sell t-shirts with 100% of proceeds going to help the homeless.

Marcia Clark just took a big step toward no longer just being known for a real-life legal drama ... and making it big in Hollywood with a TV version instead.

The famed O.J. Simpson prosecutor's new show, "The Fix" -- which has been described as part legal thriller and part revenge fantasy -- just got picked up to series by ABC ... according to sources close to production.

We're told the drama -- which Marcia co-writes and executive produces -- is being pegged by ABC to partly fill the void left by Shonda Rhimes leaving the network for Netflix ... along with the recent cancellations of "Designated Survivor" and "Quantico."

Johnny Depp's shaved off a lot of his famous flowing locks, and what's left is his new take on the mohawk 'cause ... rock 'n' roll, baby!

Johnny's taken the sides all the way down to his scalp but, instead of just rocking your standard mohawk, he's braided the tail end of it. Maybe a cool tip of the hat to Captain Jack Sparrow.

He also ditched his mustache and goatee. He'll be debuting the new look with his band, Hollywood Vampires, next week in Verona, NY.

Dominic Monaghan hasn't been able to escape the harassment of an obsessed fan -- despite a restraining order -- so now cops are taking steps to track her online.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Meredith McLarty has continued to violate the criminal protective order by repeatedly emailing the "Lost" star and even mailed a letter to his house. McLarty allegedly sent 54 unsolicited emails to Monaghan from October 9, 2017 to November 7, 2017 ... some containing disturbing poems, partial nude photos, links to porn sites and "various sexually explicit messages."

McLarty allegedly wrote in one email ... "I could show up in New Zealand tomorrow and you [sic] I could rip off your clothes and f**k the British out of you and you couldn't use the restraining order against me because it's in L.A. County, not New Zealand."

According to the docs, Monaghan told detectives he's had to delete his public email and change the way he interacts with fans due to the harassment. He's also concerned for his safety because McLarty sent an envelope to his L.A. residence.

Cops now have a search warrant to gain access to McLarty's email addresses and social media accounts.

Tina Knowles knew very early Beyonce would be a star, so she put her kids in counseling so Solange could deal with being in Bey's shadow.

Tina sat down with Maria Shriver Friday to discuss her kids and parenting skills. Knowles says Beyonce's local fame ballooned at an early age, so she'd take Wednesdays off work for "Solange Day" ... a day dedicated to Solange, who sometimes had a hard time living in Beyonce's shadow.

Tina also revealed her daughters saw a counselor because Beyonce would sometimes get irritated with her little sister ... and the counseling helped to ease that tension.

The Estate of Matthew Mellon, the heir to the banking dynasty who died last month on his way to rehab, wants to sell one of his big assets before it crashes and burns -- cryptocurrency.

The Estate -- estimated worth $100 million -- consists almost entirely of cryptocurrency. According to legal docs, the Estate is deeply concerned about the volatility of the digital money, noting since Matthew's death it's fluctuated by up to 30% of its value.

The Estate wants to unload the currency STAT ... faster than the normal course of action in probate court.

It's clear from the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the Estate has little faith in the long-term viability of cryptocurrency, making it clear they believe the trajectory of the digital money is a downward spiral.

The 54-year-old heir had a history of drug abuse. In 2016 he was reportedly spending $100k a month and taking 80 OxyContin pills a day.

Former President Bill Clinton embraced John McCain in a big way, clearly throwing shade on the White House staffer who dismissed the Arizona Senator as a guy whose opinion doesn't matter because "he's dying anyway."

We got Clinton leaving The Pierre hotel in NYC Friday, and when our photog asked about the crass comment, you see him stop, turn, process his words and then speak.

Clinton calls McCain a "remarkable patriot." And, Clinton says, he couldn't have ended the Vietnam war if it were not for the famed prisoner of war. As for Clinton saying he ended the Vietnam war, he's referring to getting a full accounting of MIAs during his presidency and ending the trade embargo.
