Kanye West's threatening letter to Kim Kardashian accusing her of exploiting their kids is just a stunt designed to piss off Kim -- one with zero legal bite ... TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... on Friday, Ye's purported lawyer, Kathy Johnson, supposedly sent Kim's attorney, Laura Wasser, a cease and desist letter, "concerning the welfare and custody of Mr. West’s minor children: North West, Saint West, Chicago West, and Psalm West."

But we spotted a bunch of red flags pointing to this being a phony correspondence, including the claim Johnson works for a JB Law Firm in Palma, Spain. We've found no record of any such firm in that town ... there is one in the Canary Islands, but a website link for that firm doesn't work, nor does the phone number.

It’s a whole mood -- and Kourt’s serving sultry in a pink furry bodice on a matching bed, pitching the gummy like it’s the hottest thing since sexting. Side effects? Uncontrollable pleasure, a reawakened libido, and a not-so-subtle reminder that you come first … literally.

Al B. Sure! says he's the last man breathing who knows the truth about Diddy, and has no issue using the last of his oxygen -- to take him down!!!

The R&B singer appeared on FOX 5 New York earlier today to promote his forthcoming memoir, where he raised questions about his late ex Kim Porter's death.

Al claims Kim used to warn him to "watch his back" around Diddy and disputed the coroner's ruling that a healthy 47-year-old woman could suddenly die from pneumonia.

Here's some celeb inspo for you: Orlando Bloom is showin' he's ready for summer -- strippin' down on social media and flaunting his fit physique!

50 Cent has been using A.I. magic to highlight his thoughts on Diddy's ongoing federal sex trafficking trial and jury selection ... all roads point to GUILTY!!!

On Friday, 50 laughed at Diddy's current defense strategy by posting A.I. images of himself as a lawyer in the courtroom rummaging through docs with a wisecrack ... "Your Honor this theory of Cassie kicking Diddy ass, I’m not buying it!"

Diddy's defense team argued that Cassie was an equal distributor of pain throughout their relationship ... more details could emerge when she takes the stand next week.

Zendaya’s fashion game is legendary -- and no doubt her wedding dress for Tom Holland will be straight-up iconic. But catch a glimpse? Not a chance!

The actress' longtime style guru, Law Roach, spilled the tea on Complex’s "Please Explain" -- explaining no one’s gonna see her wedding dress ... because just like her romance with Tom, the big day will be strictly under wraps.

Law made it crystal clear -- don’t expect a glossy Vogue spread or official wedding pics. Zendaya and Tom are keeping it on lock, and anyone lucky enough to snag an invite better be bringing privacy and respect.

Tar Heels fans lighting the torches and sharpening the pitch forks betters stand down ... Antonio Gates tells TMZ Sports no matter what happens at UNC this season, Jordon Hudson should not be labeled a villain.

While he didn't necessarily love that Carolina's new head coach is intermingling so much of his personal life with his professional one -- he made it clear, Jordon will have zero impact on UNC's win-loss record in 2025.

We chopped it up with Rick Flag Sr. out at LAX ... and while we chatted a bit about the new season of the hit Max show dropping later this year (skip the first 30 seconds of the clip if you haven't watched S1 yet), the topic of the WWE Superstar's recent life-changing decision made Grillo stop in his tracks.

In fact, the "Purge" franchise star didn't fully believe our camera guy was spitting facts ... so he said he was gonna reserve comment until he knew for sure we weren't pulling a month-delayed April Fool's prank on him.

A retired United Airlines pilot has some serious safety concerns regarding a busy airport in New Jersey ... and he's got a message for the federal government.

According to new court docs obtained by TMZ, Dorit originally requested primary legal and physical custody of their two kids -- 11-year-old Jagger and 9-year-old Phoenix. But PK just fired back in his legal response, filed earlier today ... and he’s gunning for joint custody across the board.
