The last day of Pride Month is upon us … and even though the pandemic tried to rain on the pride parade, celebs still came out in droves of rainbow to show their love.

Jennifer Garner, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Laverne Cox, Sarah Hyland and Billy Porter are just some of the TONS of celebs who draped themselves in rainbow attire to celebrate the occasion.

Check out the pics … Jennifer hugged a colorful tree, Snooki hosted a crew at her shop in NJ and Laverne may as well have been a walking rainbow flag. Billy Porter wore a shirt with a rainbow on it with the words emblazoned “Gay AF.” John Stamos commemorated the month with a new hairdo and one helluva accessory on his lip.

Kim Kardashian‘s brand was just launched into another stratosphere of riches — hitting the billion-dollar mark … courtesy of a new deal with a very familiar beauty investor.

Here’s the scoop … Kim’s beauty business — with a range of products from makeup to fragrances — just received a massive influx of cash from cosmetic conglomerate Coty Inc., which forked out $200 million for a 20% stake in KKW’s biz.

Do the math and it all adds up — Coty valued Kim’s co. at $1 BILLION.

We’re told the deal is for a longterm strategic partnership to launch products in new beauty categories and expand across the globe from top to bottom.

Our sources say Coty act as a licensee for skin, hair, personal and nail products.

We’re told Kim and her team have been hammering out the deal with Coty for months — and don’t forget, Coty is the same company that bought a huge stake in Kylie‘s beauty line for $600 mil.

Kim tells us, “This relationship will allow me to focus on the creative elements that I’m so passionate about while benefiting from the incredible resources of Coty, and launching my products around the world.”

One big difference, though … Kim didn’t give up a majority stake, so she still runs the show when it comes to her brand.

Now, bear in mind … Kim’s beauty company was recently sued by another beauty company they’ve partnered with before, Seeds Beauty, which said it was worried KKW would spill their trade secrets to Coty.

The African-American woman who was denied entry to a Baltimore restaurant because of her son’s t-shirt is shunning the establishment’s apology … because the incident traumatized her 9-year-old boy.

Marcia Grant and her spokesperson, Michelle Watts, tell TMZ … the restaurant, Ouzo Bay, has a well-established practice of discrimination, and an apology from the restaurant group rings hollow at this point and does nothing for Marcia and Dallas.

The way they see it … why would Marcia and her son, Dallas, accept an apology at this point? The restaurant wouldn’t allow him to sit down due to a dress code it very clearly — thanks to Marcia’s video — did NOT apply to a white child.

Watts tells us this was Dallas’ first bout with blatant discrimination, and it’s had a major impact on him … one his mother fears will change him forever.

We’re told the family has no plans to ever eat at an Atlas Restaurant Group property again, and Marcia’s retained civil rights attorney Dante Mills.

Watts says it’s obvious from the video … the only difference between Dallas and the white kid, who was allowed to dine at Ouzo, is their race. They were both wearing very similar clothing.

As for the restaurant manager who turned away Marcia and Dallas … Watts says his actions show how much people need to learn about the deep, lasting effects of racist acts.

The Atlas Restaurant Group says it fired 2 managers because of the incident, revised its dress code policy and will “continue to implement our diversity and inclusion training.”

Milton Glaser, a super famous graphic designer who created one of the most iconic campaigns for a city has died on his 91st birthday.

Glaser was embedded in pop culture in the ’60’s and ’70’s. In ’67 he fashioned a poster of Bob Dylan with wildly-colored hair and it sold millions. But, his biggest splash came with the “I ❤️ NY” logo, which it seems was subsequently printed on about a trillion t-shirts.

Glaser’s wife, Shirley, said the cause of death was a stroke and renal failure.

Glaser was big in commercial art, which went hand-in-hand with advertising. He was considered one of the boldest artists in his field — swinging for the fences with radical and colorful designs. One of the boldest … he created art for a 1968 Olivetti typewriter ad. He used a piece of 15th century art featuring a grieving dog and strategically placed an Olivetti at the feet of the dead nymph the dog was mourning.

As for the “I ❤️ NY” campaign … it was launched in 1977 to promote tourism when New York really needed it, and it was a sensation. What’s amazing … he sketched the image on the back of an envelope with a red crayon while sitting in the back of a cab. The logo helped define the Big Apple.

And, check out his modesty … he told The Village Voice back in 2011 … “I’m flabbergasted by what happened to this little, simple nothing of an idea.”

After 911, Glaser modified the design to … “I ❤️ NY More Than Ever,” but this time the heart had a bruise.

And, there’s this great quote … “I’m a person who deals with visual material whatever it is — architecture, an object, a set of plates, wallpaper — right now I’m doing T-shirts.”

Kanye West has until 2030 to fulfill his mission of providing clothing for the masses … and he just might make Gap cool again, in the process.

The rapper and his fashion company just landed a 10-year deal with Gap to launch a new clothing line called Yeezy Gap. The retailer — widely known as a mall brand — will introduce the Yeezy merch in the first half of 2021 in its stores and online.

Yeezy’s design studio says its plan is to make “modern, elevated basics for men, women and kids at accessible price points” and of course … Kanye will call the shots, including deciding how his clothes will be marketed at Gap.

The mega retail deal reportedly starts this month and comes with the option to renew at the 5-year mark … at which point Gap expects YZY to be generating $1 BILLION in sales.

To put that in perspective … the struggling retailer only hauled in a total of $4.6 billion globally in 2019. But, considering Kanye’s Yeezy shoe line topped $1 billion in sales last year … it’s certainly possible.

The collab between the rapper and the retail chain is a long time coming for Kanye — in 2015 he declared he’d like to be the “Steve Jobs of the Gap,” and said he dreamed of being its creative director. He also worked there as a teen.

Some things are just meant to be.
