HELLO, STRANGER! June 30 The star of the night was KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN. But her brother, ROB, was the true head-turner at the reality TV veteran’s 36th birthday party. After years spent largely out of the spotlight, the 33-year-old — who once admitted to weighing 300 pounds at his heaviest — debuted an estimated 50-pound weight loss as he happily posed with Khloé and half sis KENDALL JENNER. “Rob has finally regained his confidence,” shares a source of the reclusive sock designer. “He’s replaced the junk food with a high-protein diet and is working out regularly alongside Khloé in her home gym.

Girl, bye! Nene Leakes laughed off rumors that she’s been fired from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, with a rep for the reality star, 52, insisting that “nothing has been officially decided.” But sources allege Bravo has already made up its mind: It won’t be asking her back next season. “The network’s ready to shake things up,” reveals a source. “And everyone knows that there’s no shortage of suitable replacements in Atlanta.” Although Bravo contends there is “no truth” to the claim, Oscar winner Mo’Nique, 52, is said to be at the top of the list of possible successors. “She’s everything you could want in a Real Housewife,” says the source. “She’s controversial, opinionated and she has no problem speaking her mind. Mo’Nique’s the perfect choice; even Nene’s said so…

Coming clean! Singer August Alsina claims that he had a yearslong affair with Jada Pinkett Smith — and that Will Smith not only knew about their relationship, he also gave them his approval. “I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation,” the “No Love” crooner, 27, revealed on The Breakfast Club, “due to the transformation from their marriage to [a] life partnership…and it, you know, not involving romanticism. He gave me his blessing.” August and Jada, 48, were introduced by her son, Jaden, in 2015. He vacationed with the Smiths in Hawaii the following year and even attended the 2017 BET Awards with the actress. “I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life,” August said, “and I truly and really, really deeply love and…

Halle Is a Keto Devotee There is no denying the keto diet has done Halle Berry’s body good. “It’s been largely responsible for slowing down my aging process,” raves the 53-year-old of the low-carb, healthy fat–incorporating eating plan. “The keto lifestyle offers so many benefits such as weight loss…appetite control, more energy.” Combining it with running, boxing and plyometrics has led to astounding results for the mom of two. Still, “if I had to choose eat right or exercise, I would always go with eating right,” says Halle. “Sometimes I’m not able to exercise because of what’s going on in my life, but I can always eat right.” Kate’s Flat-Belly Regimen “Got on the scale,” Kate Hudson posted in January. “I wasn’t impressed.” But times have changed.

More money, more problems! Kim Kardashian became a billionaire overnight when the 39-year-old reality star struck a $200 million deal with Coty for a 20 percent stake in her makeup brand, KKW Beauty. Little sister Kylie Jenner, who’s recently been accused of falsely inflating her wealth, “acted like she was thrilled for Kim and congratulated her,” says a source, “but deep down, she’s green with envy.” Last year, Forbes magazine crowned the 22-year-old lip kit queen the youngest self-made billionaire in history after Coty bought a 51 percent stake in Kylie Cosmetics for $600 million, only to strip her of her title for “creating tax returns that were likely forged.” (“I’ve never asked for any title or tried to lie my way there ever,” she fired back in response.) “Kylie’s…
