Justin & Selena
BACK TOGETHER!!!!!!!
(At the Billboard Awards)

0517-Selena-Gomez-Justin-Bieber
It's official ... Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are officially a pair once again!!!!!!!!! At least in their seats at the Billboard Music Awards this weekend.

Photos of the seating arrangements have surfaced on the Internet -- and you can plainly see, Justin and Selena will be seated next to each other at the award show on Sunday.

And for anyone thinking it's an accident -- celebs can easily request to sit apart from people if they really want to ... so it's obvious, neither Justin nor Selena had a problem being so close to one another.

Justin and Selena split last year, but ever since then they've been on-and-off-again more than Lindsay Lohan's movie career -- so this could finally be a sign they're back together.

OR IS IT???

Wade Robson
Life's a Beach

0517_wade_robson_GSI
Wade Robson surfaced in Hawaii with his wife and son on Friday ... sportin' an Aloha shirt and some flip flops following his "Michael Jackson molested me as a kid" media blitz. 

We broke the story ... Wade recently sold his Santa Monica condo and skipped town to live with his wife and kid in her hometown on the island. 

Wade shouldn't get too comfortable though ... he's gonna have to fly back to L.A. at some point to follow up on his claim against the Michael Jackson Estate.

In the meantime, it's 80 degrees in Hawaii right now ... with a slight chance of awesome.

Aloha.

'Modern Family' Star
My Mother Is DEAD to Me

Breaking News
0517-tmz-ariel-winter"Modern Family" star Ariel Winter is throwing DISS after DISS at her birth mom ... making it clear, she wants NOTHING to do with her biological life-giver ever again.

As you know, 15-year-old Ariel has been at war with Chrystal Workman for the past year -- and even got a judge to strip her mother of custody in 2012 after claiming she was subjected to emotional abuse.

Now, Ariel is pouring salt in the wound -- by making public statements in which she makes it clear, her mother is dead to her ... and her older sister Shanelle has filled the emotional void.

When asked about her family yesterday, Winter told People.com, "My sister is the most amazing woman I've ever met in my life. If I could be half the woman she is ... she's kind of who I want to be like."

Did you catch the thinly veiled dig at her mom? If not, check out what she Instagrammed on Mother's Day:

"Happy Mother's Day to my amazing mister, Shanelle Gray. I know everyone is going to ask what a mister is, so I'll explain. It means mom/sister to me."

She continued, "She's my best friend ... She's also the most incredible mother. I am so blessed and lucky to have her."

Translation -- Ariel's over Chrystal ... and from what we're told, she has good reason. How's THAT for a modern family?

Kelly Rowland
Beyonce's Pregnant?!
WHAT?!?!

Exclusive
051713_kelly_rowland_launch
Former "Destiny's Child" singer Kelly Rowland had NO IDEA Beyonce was pregnant with a second child ... either that, or she deserves an Oscar for the performance she just gave in a L.A. parking lot.

Kelly was on her way out of a cafe when we asked how she felt about the latest reports ... that Beyonce is pregnant with baby #2 -- and Kelly looked totally flabbergasted, saying, "WHAT?!?!"

Kelly knew ...

  • Yes
  • No
But it's likely she actually did know ... because as soon as we started asking more questions, Kelly clammed up.

So we gotta ask ...

Aretha to Kim K
Babies Belong at Home
NOT ON TOUR!!!

Exclusive
051713_aretha_franklin_launchKim Kardashian should think twice about taking her newborn baby on tour with Kanye West ... so says Aretha Franklin

Aretha was out in NYC today when we told her about Kim's plans to join Kanye on his upcoming tour in October ... newborn baby and all ... and Aretha had some stern words of warning for the pregnant reality star.

Worth noting ... Aretha looked great and sounded fantastic (she even sung a few notes for us), which is notable since she just canceled two shows scheduled for next week due to unspecified "health issues."

Take care, TCB.

Christoph Waltz
SHOTS FIRED
During Cannes Interview

Breaking News

Cannes_Shooting
Utter mayhem at Cannes moments ago ... gun shots rang out in the middle of an interview with Christoph Waltz, and all hell broke loose.

Waltz was on the set of a French news program called Le Grand Journal when the shots were fired, and security whisked him off stage. The rest of the audience rushed the set in panic.

You can't really hear the shots in the video ... but witnesses are saying they came from a man with a gun. There are reports the shots fired were blanks.

The man has since been apprehended by police. No one was injured.

It's been a crazy day at Cannes -- last night, a jewelry company was robbed while hosting a fancy ball at the film festival ... thieves reportedly stole $1 million worth of jewelry.

Beyonce
PREGNANT
(Reportedly)

Breaking News
0517-beyonce-knocked-up-tmzSeems the Beyonce preggo rumors are true-mors ... at least according to E!, which is now reporting the singer is knocked up with her second child.

The rumor mill had been in overdrive over the past week -- especially with Beyonce bailing on a concert in Belgium at the last minute due to "dehydration and exhaustion."

Everyone on the planet knows ... when a celeb drops the ol' "D&E" excuse, it's code for -- we're hiding something.

31-year-old Beyonce gave birth to her first child -- daughter Blue Ivy -- back in January 2012.

No word on when B and Jay-Z are dropping kid #2. 

We called B's reps for comment -- so far, no word back ... however, Russell Simmons tweeted a congratulatory message to the couple ... and that guy's connected ... so, yeah.

Ronnie Wood
We Didn't HAVE to Slash Ticket Prices ...

Exclusive
051713_ronnie_wood_launch
The Rolling Stones weren't FORCED to drastically lower ticket prices for their current concert tour due to slow sales, they CHOSE to bring the cost down ... this according to guitarist Ronnie Wood.

The story has been everywhere -- more than 1,000 seats for a recent Stones show were slashed to $85 at the last minute ... and according to reports, it was all because the concert was drastically undersold.

But on the way out of Fred Segal in L.A. yesterday, Wood insisted the move wasn't motivated by $$$ -- instead, Wood says, the band just simply "wanted" to do it ... for the fans.

You buyin' that?

Dick Trickle's Brother:
NASCAR Star Was Suffering
from Extreme Chest Pain

Breaking News
0516-dick-trickle-2-getty
Dick Trickle suffered from excruciating pain under his left breast in the days before he killed himself ... and was "very down" about his health situation in his final days, this according to Trickle's brother.

Chuck Trickle opened up to both TMZ and the Las Vegas Review Journal ... saying Dick's death from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound is "a shock to me ... it's real hard to think about."

Chuck says he spoke with Dick just last week ... and the former NASCAR driver was complaining about a severe pain under his left breast that seemed to be getting worse.

"He was having a lot of issues w some pain ... he had sharp pain by his left breast and constant hard pain," Chuck told TMZ.

Chuck says Dick went to the doctor twice a day in an effort to remedy the issue -- and underwent numerous MRIs and CAT scans -- but doctors were never able to determine the cause of the pain.

“He was very down,” Trickle said ... adding, “He more or less said he didn’t know how much longer he could take the pain.”

As TMZ first reported, Trickle left a suicide note at the North Carolina cemetery where he died -- it's unclear if the note explains why Trickle decided to take his own life.

Wade Robson
I Hope to Inspire OTHER Molestation Victims to Come Forward

Exclusive
051713_wade_robson_mpg_primary

Wade Robson says he feels LIBERATED after opening up about the alleged sex abuse at the hands of Michael Jackson on national TV ... and says he hopes he inspires other people to "speak their truth."

Robson had just landed at LAX yesterday after his big tell-all interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today" show -- and said he has no regrets about going public with his MJ accusations.

While Wade's story is under fire -- considering he so vehemently DEFENDED Michael during the 2005 molestation trial -- the dance choreographer says he hopes his decision to come forward will be viewed as inspirational.

"If my coming forward and speaking the truth can help, honestly, one [person] to gain courage to speak their truth and begin the healing process then that would really be more than I could ask."

TMZ broke the story ... Wade is going after the Michael Jackson Estate in court, claiming MJ sexually abused him as a child. Wade said he waited so long to take action because he didn't realize he was being abused until recently.

NY Jets Running Back
ARRESTED
Drugs & Guns

Breaking News
0517_mike_goodson_jetsNew York Jets running back Michael Goodson was arrested in New Jersey early this morning after cops say the 25-year-old was in possession of weed and a loaded handgun.

According to cops, Goodson -- who was signed by the Jets during the off-season to compete for the starting RB job -- was a passenger in an SUV that was parked along Route 80 in Denville, NJ.

Cops say both Goodson and the driver of the vehicle appeared WASTED when they approached the vehicle.

During the encounter, cops say Goodson was found to be in possession of weed (less than 50 grams) -- PLUS a loaded .45 caliber and hollow-point bullets.

FYI --  a hollow-point bullet is used to create maximum damage to its intended target ... and in NJ hollow-points are not allowed to be carried around in public, with few exceptions.

Cops say both Goodson and the driver were so intoxicated that they were both transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The driver of the SUV was arrested on suspicion of DUI.

According to local reports, both Goodson and the driver were released from the hospital and into the custody of the NJ State Police. They're both still in custody.

If you're unfamiliar with Michael Goodson -- it's probably because he only has 3 career TDs.

After Car Crash in UK

The rep says no vehicles were involved in the crash.  It's unclear exactly what caused the collision.

A rep for the emergency response crew released a statement saying, "[George] sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilisation and immobilization by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to the hospital for further care."

Michael's spokesperson says the singer only suffered "superficial cuts" -- and was doing just fine.

So far, the driver of the Range Rover has not been identified.
