Taylor Swift, Joe Alwyn We're Holding Hands and Running ... So Shoot Quick!!!

Taylor Swift showed up to the Jingle Ball event Friday night at Madison Square Garden ... and it's the first time we've seen her hand-in-hand with her boyfriend.

Taylor and Joe Alwyn raced from their SUV to the front door, but it was enough time to see a romance marker ... hand holding.

DATE NIGHT

Alwyn is a British actor and model. They've been together since the summer, but we've never really seen them out and affectionate.

Listen to the frustrated photog in the video, who grouses he was only able to get off one shot.

Justin Bieber It's Hangin' Low!!!

JUSTIN'S JOKES
TMZ.com

Justin Bieber was hangin' in Bev Hills Friday night ... hangin' low according to him.

We got the Biebs crusin' Canon Drive and he engaged our photog, and speaking of engaged ... we wanted to know if that loomed in his relationship with Selena Gomez. Biebs was somewhat incredulous.

He's apparently retracted his prohibition against selfies, and was all-around friendly and surprisingly talkative before darting away into the night.

So what's your guess ... is Justin an online shopper or a department store kinda guy?

Jay-Z & Beyonce Deja Vu

GOING UP
SplashNews.com

Either Jay-Z's feeling a little nostalgic, or he and Beyonce just wanted to have a good laugh on his birthday ... by striking a pose in an NYC elevator.

Mr. and Mrs. Carter hit up Angelika Film Center & Cafe Monday night as they celebrated Jay's 48th -- and on their way out rode an elevator to the ground floor.

America's first couple of entertainment did not disappoint, and invited photogs to "come and get it" -- the perfect photo op ... in an elevator. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

They've obviously come a long way since that now-infamous 2014 ride. All they were missing tonight was Solange.

Plum suit, gold chains and the hottest chick in the game bearing his name -- a happy birthday, indeed!

French Montana NOT All the Way Up ... This Surfing Thing Is Hard, Bro!!!

SHREDDED BY THE GNAR
MEGA

This looks like French Montana's first attempt at surfing, and it's definitely unforgettable ... and we mean that in the funniest way possible.

French borrowed some dude's board down in Sydney, and tried like hell to catch a wave. We'll say this ... he did a great job at securing the leash around his ankle -- but after that it was totally comical.

We're guessing he'll find a better way to spend his next day off from his Australian tour -- but we hope not.

French, the idea is to stand UP on the board!

Mark Hamill Rolling in a Wheelchair ... Where's the Force Now?

RUFF ROLL
SplashNews.com

2:20 PM PT -- Mark says he was just trying to avoid autograph seekers by rolling out of the airport in a wheelchair because they "gouge true fans later on eBay." He included the hashtags #TheyCanGoForceThemselves and #NoMoreAirportSignings.

Luke Skywalker's looking more Vader-like than ever -- and we're not referring to the rumors about 'The Last Jedi' plot.

Mark Hamill, and his little dog, rolled through JFK airport Monday night in a wheelchair. Mark did his best to cover his face with a dark hat -- not unlike a certain Dark side villain.

Fans greeted Mark while he cradled his little dog, and fired off questions about 'Jedi,' but he seems to know -- talk not he must, with the movie opening less than 3 weeks away.

Unclear if Luke's actually injured, or just trying to keep a low profile. We've gotta call in to a galaxy far, far away.

We'll let ya know if Yoda, or Darth, responds.

Wiz Khalifa Hits Up Joint (Literally) With Smoking Hot GF!!!

NEW CHICK LOOK
TMZ.com

Wiz Khalifa's two favorite indulgences merged during a night out -- a joint and a smoke show GF.

The rapper hit up Poppy Monday night in WeHo with his crew but it's his main squeeze who stole the show. They held hands on the way in ... and if there was any doubt Wiz is quite the romantic, check out the hand switch on the walk in. Never wants to let go, it seems.

Can't blame Wiz for staying mum ... his girl's walkin' is doin' all the talkin'.

As for who she is ... L.A.-based model Izabela Guedes, who not only has been plastered all over Wiz's Instagram lately, but is also the cover model for Wiz's new mixtape.

Easy to see why ...

Christina Aguilera My Shirt Says Everything About Weinstein

SHIRT SAYS IT ALL
TMZ.com

Christina Aguilara took a shot at Harvey Weinstein without uttering a word.

We got "The Voice" judge/singer Friday night coming out of Delilah, wearing a shirt that said "Suck my d***."

We asked her about the Weinstein revelations and the others that followed -- most recently Netflix pulling the plug on Kevin Spacey -- and she was mum, although she did provide our photog with instructions ... read her shirt.

Not the most probing message, but it gets the point across.

Selena Gomez Don't Mind Me ... Just Gonna Read This Kids' Book in Front of Paps

TENDER MOMENT
SplashNews.com

Selena Gomez is now reading to little kids ... and it looks staged AF.

The singer took a stroll Thursday at a park in Burbank where she arrived with a friend both wearing attire totally NOT conducive for a park visit. White booties? Really?!

Selena and her friend -- BTW, also wearing booties -- looked like they knew what they were there for ... to appear like little kids at heart and be moved by a little girl reading a book while sitting on the swing.

Sweet, but staged, don't you think?

Blac Chyna Vandalism Suspect For Smashing Guy's Phone

WHY YOU MAD?
BACKGRID

Blac Chyna went HAM on some guy's phone, and then the guy went OFF ... to talk to the police.

Chyna's listed as the suspect in a misdemeanor vandalism report LAPD took Thursday around 3:30 AM. Law enforcement tells TMZ, the man was shooting video of Chyna as she left a Hollywood club and she wasn't happy about it.

That's obvious in this video shot by another photog, where you clearly see Chyna slap something out of a man's hand. Sources close to Chyna tell us she'd repeatedly told photogs she didn't want to be shot. When they persisted ... she flipped, and threatened to get some "real n***as" to kick their asses.

Based on the video, BC didn't need backup.

Harvey Weinstein 'I'm Not Doing Okay, Gotta Get Help!' And Screw Those Celebs

GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE
BACKGRID

Harvey Weinstein pled his case for getting a second chance in Hollywood on his way out of town -- but he also seemed to take a parting shot at the celebs who've been bashing him.

Weinstein left his daughter's L.A. home shortly after 3 PM Wednesday, and directed the paparazzi as if he were on the set of one of his Oscar-winning movies. It might be his last film for a while -- Weinstein made it clear he's not in a good place, begged for a second chance and admitted, "I gotta get help, guys."

TMZ broke the story ... Weinstein's now getting that help. He took off on a private jet Wednesday evening, bound for an Arizona treatment facility.

Interestingly, in this video he's leaving his daughter Remy's home ... the same place police responded earlier in the day when she called 911, and said her father was "suicidal and depressed."

As Weinstein bolted for the airport, he told photogs he was "not like those f**king pricks who treat you like s**t." Watch ... sure sounds like he's referring to Hollywood's A-list, many of whom have condemned him over the last 48 hours.

Grudge much?

Sean Spicer No Peace Talk with Melissa McCarthy ... But I'm Open to It

IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS
MEGA

Sean Spicer's riding high off his surprise appearance at the Emmy Awards, and while it got him plenty of applause in the room ... it did NOT get him a sit-down with Melissa McCarthy.

Sean seemed pretty damn happy Monday night as he arrived back in Washington, DC ... and talked about keeping his cameo under wraps -- as well as his simmering beef with Melissa.

It's not fully heated beef between Spicey and McCarthy, but he's definitely been critical of her 'SNL' portrayal. So, with his moment in the Hollywood sun ... you'd think the duo could have seized the opportunity to meet. Maybe even at the podium.

Sean's take seems to be -- it'll happen, but he ain't rushing it.

THE NUMBERS ARE IN!

Matt Damon Watch Out Alt-Right March at Your Own Peril in Boston

BOSTON STRONG
TMZ.com

Matt Damon clearly thinks everyone has a right to exercise free speech in this country, but the alt-right may be in for a surprise Saturday in Boston.

We got the Boston native at LAX Friday and he never suggested the marchers would be met with physical resistance, but listen not just to his words but how he says them.

It's interesting ... organizers of the rally have denounced the Charlottesville violence and racist message, claiming they are a conglomerate of libertarians, progressives, conservatives and independents. But police are worried this will become a rally laced with racism.

Matt knows a thing or 2 about being Boston strong, so maybe the marchers should keep that in mind.

Alfonso Ribeiro Jazzy Jeff is Crazy ... 'Fresh Prince' Revival a No-Go!!!

NO CHANCE OF COMEBACK
TMZ.com

Nowww this is a story all about how ... Alfonso Ribeiro just crushed the hopes and dreams of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" fans.

Carlton was at LAX when our guy asked him about DJ Jazzy Jeff hinting at a 'Fresh Prince' reunion of some kind 21 years after the show went off the air -- and he shot it down HARD.

The current "America's Funniest Home Videos" host seems like he's totally moved on from the hit '90s sitcom ... and has some advice for people who haven't yet.

Looks like if you want a cast reunion ... you'll have to settle for Alfonso's Instagram pic.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Gene Simmons Quit Whining, Justin Bieber ... You're Rich and White!!!

GET A LIFE!
SplashNews.com

Gene Simmons thinks Justin Bieber's a spoiled brat who needs to get a life -- and yet he also wishes him well.

The KISS co-founder was out in Bev Hills Wednesday when a pap asked him if he had any advice for JB after canceling the Purpose tour. Gene ain't buying Bieber's reason for bailing, and has a theory about what's truly ailing the young pop star.

Just a case of the blues, according to Gene. He wrote a song about it.

Justin Bieber Out-of-Work Tour Crew Not on MY Payroll

NOT MY STAFF, NOT MY PROBLEM
SplashNews.com

Justin Bieber's refusing to say sorry to the couple hundred people suddenly out of work due to him ending his Purpose tour -- because as he sees it, that's someone else's responsibility.

As Justin was leaving BOA Steakhouse on Sunset Tuesday night -- with his pal, Patrick Schwarzenegger, driving -- he was asked if he had any message for his tour crew. As TMZ first reported ... they're pissed because they never got a heads-up Bieber was pulling the plug and leaving them high and dry.

Bieber was shockingly defiant, and explained the difference -- in his eyes -- between tour crew and his personal staffers.

We think the crew would say karma damn near bit Justin in the ass in this clip. Watch what happened to his Black Amex card.

Justin Bieber Don't Blame Jesus For My Tour Debacle

IT'S NOT GOD'S FAULT
SplashNews.com

Justin Bieber is publicly denying religion played a role in him abruptly pulling the plug on his Purpose tour with just 14 shows to go.

Biebs was grabbing lunch Tuesday in Bev Hills when a pap asked about the sudden decision to quit. Justin seemed perplexed at the suggestion it had anything to do with his spirituality.

As TMZ first reported ... multiples sources connected with Hillsong Church, which Justin attends regularly, say he absolutely canceled the tour because he's "rededicated his life to Christ."

Justin claims he already told us what's wrong ... when he said he just needed to rest after 2 years on the road.
