ROB KARDASHIAN is quickly learning that love can be brutal, not to mention expensive! Sources tell TMZ that he wanted to buy BLAC CHYNA some serious bling before their blowout fight last week and sent a jeweler to her home with seven different pieces. She was supposed to pick just one, but returned only three, allegedly tried to charge up his credit cards and the jeweler is desperate to get the baubles returned.
Chyna's attorney LISA BLOOM claims they were all gifts and she's under no obligation to return them.(Lee)Fashion Emergency:

Grace notes from Vinny Marino:
BEYONCE was the top earning artist for 2016. That's according to Billboard's latest list. She made $62.1-million bucks last year, thanks mostly to her Formation World Tour. GUNS N' ROSES is second with $42.3-million dollars, followed by BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN in third with $42.2-million dollars, again because of touring. DRAKE is in at number 3 with $37.3-million. $18.1-million dollars of that is just from streaming! ADELE rounds out the top 5 with $37-million dollars. The total earnings are broken down by music sales, publishing, streaming and touring. (Marino)
