Robert De Niro
You Can Find Me in Da Club
... with a Hip Hop SUPERSTAR

Just Robert De Niro and T.I. chillingFile this under things you never thought you'd see: Rap superstar T.I. hanging out at an Atlanta nightclub ... with 68-year-old Robert De Niro ... and TMZ has the pics.

We're told the two did NOT arrive together ... De Niro originally hit the club -- called Vanquish -- with a friend right when the place opened. But a few hours later, T.I. rolled in ... and when he heard the Oscar winner was in the house, he HAD to meet him.

Sources say the two got along GREAT ... and spent the rest of the night talking and "chillin' together."

We're told Trey Songz and Fabolous were also at the club ... and both made sure to go over to De Niro to shake his hand.

Robert De Niro ... gangsta.

Ricky Gervais and De Niro -- 'Golden' Controversies

Ricky Gervais and Robert De Niro both talked their way into a firestorm at the "Golden Globes" last night ... after each attempted risky jokes that some consider downright offensive.

Gervais' dig came while commenting on the movie, "I Love You Phillip Morris" -- when he said, "Two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay – which is the exact opposite of some famous Scientologists ... probably." Gervais added, "My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke."

A short time later, De Niro left jaws hanging while thanking the Hollywood Foreign Press for his lifetime achievement award ... saying, "I'm sorry more members of the foreign press aren't with us tonight, but many were deported right before the show along with most of the waiters. And Javier Bardem."

So we gotta ask ...

Robert De Niro to Drunk: You Walk in to Me?

Robert DeniroPolice say Robert De Niro was the victim of a drunken hit-and-walk yesterday, when an overly inebriated woman happened to stumble on the set of his new movie.

Police says Carlyn Campbell was able to walk a semi-straight line directly into the actor, after she bypassed security that had shut down the sidewalk.

De Niro was fine, but according to the police report, the lady was as drunk as Gary Collins driving a motor home -- meaning she blew a .29 when cops made her take a Breathalyzer.

Lucky for her, the cops just took her to a local hospital instead of taking her to jail.

Nanny to De Niro: Pay Up, Focker!

Robert De NiroRobert De Niro's former nanny is raging pissed -- claiming the actor stiffed her out of $40k in overtime pay and then fired her.

The nanny claims she racked up 750 hours of O.T. in just ten months of work for Robert and his wife back in 2006, and when she threatened to quit -- De Niro pulled the trigger first.

Now the nanny has filed a lawsuit in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, in which she also claims she never got her 10 days of vacation.

No comment from De Niro's people yet.

Robert De Niro Is a Brave, Brave Man

Robert De Niro was caught hugging overly heavyweight Mike Tyson last night. Is he crazy?!


Tyson was randomly at the opening of De Niro's restaurant Ago in Vegas, where he likely chewed on some delicious pastas and meats ... and we presume no human ears.

De Niro to Gallery -- You Takin' My Paintings from Me?

Robert De NiroRobert De Niro is putting the heat on a Rome art gallery that he says took some of his father's paintings to settle a debt.

A rep for De Niro says in a statement to TMZ that he is taking the "legal action" to return 12 of the late Robert De Niro Sr.'s paintings to their rightful owner -- De Niro Jr., aka the Oscar-winning actor. They were allegedly given by Salander-O'Reilly Galleries in New York to Benucci S.r.l., a Rome gallery, to settle a $5 million debt -- without De Niro's knowledge.

Bobby D's dad was a leading abstract expressionist painter and friend of artist Willem de Kooning and author Tennessee Williams, among others. Benucci could not be reached for comment, and De Niro's rep didn't specify what form the legal action would take.

Zeta Graff: Come on Paris!

Zeta Graff doesn't care about Paris Hilton's DUI drama. The suing socialite is peeved that her own lawsuit against Hilton for defamation of character, that was set to start this week, will be postponed because Hilton is claiming that she is too "distraught and traumatized" by her impending prison sentence to handle another court case. Graff cited an US Weekly report of Hilton's weekend hijinks to strengthen her case. The article reported Paris out partying at Teddy's on Saturday, "chatting and laughing ... and appeared to be in a great mood."

"If Ms. Hilton was nightclubbing on Saturday night, she should not have been representing to the Court on Monday morning that she was unable to participate in the trial," stated Zeta Graff. "Ms. Hilton should be required to explain her actions and account for them. Under the law, even Ms. Hilton is supposed to be held responsible and accountable for her actions."

J.Lo in Court


J.Lo, say it ain't so! A federal judge is forcing Jennifer Lopez to answer questions about her role as executive producer of the now defunct TV show, "South Beach." Seems the writer Jack Bunick claims that Jenny from the Block stole the idea from him and is asking for $180,000 per aired episode of the show. J.Lo's lawyer Orin Snyder argued that she had minimal involvement in the development of the show, and that she's just, oh, too busy to deal with the court case. Bunick's lawyer, Sheldon Farber, responded to Lopez' claims that she was too busy to be bothered, saying, "I am unaware that one of the perks of fame is protection from the legal process."

Winehouse Weds

Less than a month after getting engaged, Amy Winehouse and on-again-off-again boyfriend Black Fielder-Civil married in a civil ceremony on Friday. The pair tied the knot in Miami at the Shore Club hotel in South Beach. Winehouse chose wisely in her marriage -- Fielder-Civil is a gofer for music videos, so all of her needs (onscreen at least) will be met. "I hope to be with him for the rest of my life," Winehouse told U.K. paper The Sun.

This Week's Biggest Losers 12/23/06

With the line between beauty pageants and Girls Gone Wild now completely blurred, maybe NBC should have Joe Francis host the next Miss USA telecast. In advance of that tantalizing prospect, here are the finalists for the sparkling TMZ tiara.
donald trumpDonald Trump: Apparently, last winter's squabble with Martha Stewart was only a warm-up. In what can only be interpreted as a delirious desire to prevent anything from soiling the January 7 debut of Season 6 of "The Apprentice," The Donald relocated this week to the Trump Glower, and hurled down an unbelievable stream of invective at the rosiest rabble-rouser of "The View." O'Donnell, meanwhile, has cut and pasted some rather unflattering Wikipedia info about Trump into her blog, adding that she will let readers know "if kelli leaves me for one of his pals." This is David Gest vs. Liza Minnelli on Viagra and estrogen, an East Coast battle that suddenly renders the premiere of tonight's new E! special "30 Most Outrageous Celebrity Feuds" moot.
