Kendall Jenner, 22, and DJ Diplo, 39, are seen acting ‘super-flirty’ at Coachella music festival
The pair set tongues wagging after spending lots of time with each other at the party, where onlookers saw 'lots of touching and some extended hugging'
KENDALL JENNER is no stranger to getting up close and personal with music’s biggest names.
The model has dated the likes of Harry Styles and A$AP Rocky — and now I hear she may have Diplo set in her sights.
My spies caught Kendall looking extremely close with the US producer— who counts Katy Perry as an ex — at a Coachella bash on Friday.
They set tongues wagging after spending lots of time with each other at the party which was thrown to celebrate the launch of a cosmetics brand headed by Kendall’s sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.
My source at the Palm Springs bash told me: “Kendall and Diplo were super-flirty at the party. There was lots of touching and some extended hugging.
“They both appeared to be comfortable and familiar in each other’s company and hanging off everything the other person said. Diplo was stroking her arm.
“They were in great spirits.
“Kendall was toasting the launch of her show on Apple Music radio station Beats 1 while Diplo did a DJ set. It was the talk of the bash.
“Everyone wondered whether there could be something more going on between them.”
The pair’s flirting comes amid an ongoing saga in Kendall’s love life.
Last weekend, it was reported she ignored rumoured love interest Blake Griffin when they both attended a different bash at the musical festival in California.
At the party — thrown by Hollywood night spot Bootsy Bellows and McDonald’s — basketball star Blake walked straight past Kendall and the two did not speak the whole night.
But, on Thursday, they both had dinner at Delilah restaurant in West Hollywood — although they made sure they were not snapped arriving together.
A source added: “Kendall has a lot of male interest and isn’t keen to be tied down in a serious relationship.
“Diplo is an extremely eligible catch and she seemed very flattered at the attention he was showing her.”
I also hear Kendall is being paid around £450,000 per episode to co-host her new monthly radio show Pizza Boys.
Should Diplo decide to pop round for a takeaway, they can afford to splash out on a few side dishes.
Red hot Rita
RITA ORA is no stranger to setting daring new fashion trends – but I can’t see her unique way of dealing with the British heatwave catching on.
The singer slipped on a leather jacket without having some talcum powder close to hand.
So, to cancel out her sweat-fest, she decided to ditch everything underneath. It’s obviously one of those moments that only make sense when you’re a pop star.
Of course, Rita then posted her interesting look on Instagram and captioned it: “Me on set today coz the sun’s out in London! Boom!”
Later on Friday she opted for an American Dad-meets-Ace Ventura look to attend a launch party in the capital.
I think I’ll just stick to my summer dress.
'It obviously wasn't the path for me'
KYLIE MINOGUE has ruled out having a baby of her own.
The star, 49, said: “I did pursue that. It obviously wasn’t the path for me.
“Now I love being an auntie.
"And if I was to meet anyone, the chances are high that person would have children anyway.”
Her admission in Vogue Australia comes a week after I revealed she has grown close to media exec Paul Solomons.
Kylie added how she had “a slow, steady nervous breakdown” during her split last year from Brit actor Joshua Sasse.
She’s well rid.
Prince charming Lottie
MADE In Chelsea’s Sam Prince admitted in recent episodes he’d cheated on girlfriend Jemima Rhys.
And while his secret fling remained a mystery on the show, I can reveal it was with ex-girlfriend and clothes horse Lottie Moss.
A source close to the reality TV star told me: “Sam and Lottie broke up some time ago, but have stayed close, and there’s still an attraction there.
On this particular night, that got the better of them and they ended up going home together.
“The show bosses couldn’t mention Lottie’s name on the programme, but it’s a well-known secret that she was the mystery girl that night. She definitely gave Sam a spring in his step.”
It doesn’t exactly sound like a model relationship.
Grande to see you, Ariana
ARIANA GRANDE cemented her comeback with a surprise appearance at Coachella festival on Friday night.
She performed new single No Tears Left To Cry for the first time.
The track is an emotional tribute to the Manchester terrorist attack last May, which killed 22 people after her Manchester Arena gig.
The slot during Kygo’s set was her second live show this year – after she sang at the March for Our Lives gun control rally in Washington last month.
Ariana channelled her inner Sugar Plum Fairy, with lilac hair, crop top and tutu. She later cuddled up to boyfriend, rapper Mac Miller.
Welcome back, Ariana – you’ve been missed.
Back on air
TINA TURNER is back in the spotlight
Her musical, Tina – starring Adrienne Warren in the title role – is one of the most exciting shows to come to London’s West End, opening to glowing reviews.
At Tuesday’s showing, Tina got a standing ovation for walking into the theatre before the show had even begun.
But it won’t be tempting her out of retirement.
Speaking to Graham Norton on BBC Radio 2 yesterday, the singer said she won’t be lured back.
Tina said: “They are trying everything, I tell you.
"They’re pulling every drop of blood out of me.
"After this, I’m closing the curtain on everything. I’m done. I’m tired of singing.”
I hope she reconsiders.
Mel B movie on the cards?
MEL B is working on a tell-all book about her life – now I hear she is planning a film.
She wants the project, which will be based on her autobiography, to follow her childhood in Leeds to fame with the Spice Girls and beyond.
My sources say the team will have their work cut out casting actresses to play Mel, Victoria Beckham, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Mel C.
One source said: “The idea is for a documentary-style film, rather than a Hollywood number.
One thing high on Mel’s agenda is setting the record straight about her relationship with her family.
“She will also talk about her bandmates.
"So it will be interesting to see how casting directors get on with finding actresses to play all five of the girls.”
At least Mel knows a film about her life – no matter who is in it – can’t possibly be as cringe-inducing as Spice World.
Liam: I'm Bear-ly around
LIAM PAYNE fears work commitments will stop him seeing son Bear, hit a key milestone.
The singer said: “I hope I don’t miss the first steps and that’s why I’m hoping he walks within the next few weeks, because I know I’m going to have to go away for a long time at certain periods.”
Liam admits his partner Cheryl will be left holding the baby, as he refuses to scale down his solo career.
Speaking to Kiss FM, Liam said: “I’ve got the chance to give him the best life and also be someone to aspire to be like, if I get this right.
“I’d rather do that than bum around with him.
“At the end, it’s my sacrifice and I’m willing to take it to make as much as I can for my family.”
Look what you've done to me
NICOLE SCHERZINGER, who is holidaying in Spain after being dropped from The X Factor, captioned this Instagram snap: “Barcelona look what you’ve done to me . . .”
Maybe she is angling for a new job as tour guide for the city – though she looks more like Bob The Builder in her baggy pants.
