'Mighty Ducks' Goalie Drug Rehab Offer ... It's on the House

Published | Updated

"The Mighty Ducks" goalie Shaun Weiss has some free rehab waiting on him once he gets out of jail ... and all he has to do is make his way to the Lone Star State.

Ascend Detox and Recovery in southeast Texas just sent Shaun a formal invitation to their hospital rehab program ... and in the letter obtained by TMZ, the center lays out its plan for the troubled child star.

Shaun's getting the full-court press -- the treatment center's CEO says her operation's gonna tailor a rehab program specifically for Weiss, offering him the best the country has to offer ... and it's all for free.

As we reported ... Lindsey Lohan's dad, Michael, helped Shaun land the offer. Michael's friend runs Ascend Detox and Recovery, and he jumped at the opportunity to help Weiss.

Shaun looks like he could use a hand ... his friends are scrambling to get him on the right path after his most recent arrest for burglary and meth. They've tried for years to get him into rehab facilities, but it never took.

Now, the ball's in Shaun's court once he gets outta jail in Northern Cali, following his latest drug-related arrest.

Brad Pitt's BAFTA Speech Awkwardly Invokes Prince Harry ... Wills & Kate Laugh It Off

Published | Updated

Brad Pitt's string of hilarious acceptance speeches rolled on across the pond for the BAFTA Awards where he brought up Prince Harry and Megxit ... in front of Prince William.

BP didn't make it to the ceremony Sunday night in London, so his costar, Margot Robbie, accepted his BAFTA (it's like the British Oscars) for Best Supporting Actor, and read the speech he'd written.

Margot said, speaking as Brad, "I'm gonna name this Harry, 'cause (Brad) is really excited about bringing it back to the States with him. His words, not mine. Thanks!"

The line killed ... most people seemed to laugh, and then the camera cut to Prince William and Kate Middleton in the front row. They clapped and smiled, appropriately, but watch ... they clearly knew they were on camera. BTW, Will is the President of BAFTA ... so it's kinda his show.

Of course, it's no surprise Brad went for a timely punchline in front of an audience. He's been on a comedy tour of sorts these past few weeks, joking about his single status.

Looks like that material got a bit stale, and he tried something new and decidedly British.

Know your audience!!!

Tekashi 6ix9ine Home After Prison will be Like Fort Knox ... Hopefully Far From NYC!!!

Published | Updated

Tekashi 6ix9ine plans to get the hell outta dodge once he's released from prison and bolster his security detail like no rapper ever before ... but it's going to be easier said than done.

The rapper's still months away from becoming a free man, but he's already looking toward his exit strategy ... according to sources close to him. We're told once he's out of lockup, he's bailing on Brooklyn, where he was born and raised, and hopes to live far away from NYC.

This decision is primarily based on his safety, but every move 69 makes will have to be approved by the federal probation department ... part of his sentence includes being monitored after his release.

Regardless, our sources say Tekashi will be putting security measures in place right away to keep people from knowing his location, but even if they find him ... he'll be protected by multiple bodyguards.

As for where his security team will come from, we're told the rapper only wants legit former law enforcement officers or ex-military who are licensed to carry firearms ... absolutely nobody with any sort of gang affiliation.

Ideally, we're told 6ix9ine would like to leave New York and live with family out of state ... in a home with "Fort Knox-like security."

It's unclear how he plans to bring this all together, especially since some of his former bodyguards have said no amount of money is worth it to protect Tekashi.

One more thing ... our sources say the rapper is committed to getting in the studio to complete the records in his music deal as soon as possible once he's out, but he's not planning on live performances.

The reasoning -- it wouldn't be safe for a snitch to try something like that for a long time.

We broke the story ... Tekashi's legal team thinks he could be released from prison as soon as August, so it's really not too soon to start planning his new life.

And, as we told you, that new life does not involve witness protection ... 69 doesn't want to go that route.

We reached out to his lawyer, Dawn Florio, about his post-prison plans ... she declined to comment.

G-Eazy All Up on Meg Thee Stallion!!! Makes it IG Official Too

Published | Updated

And your Super Bowl weekend MVP goes to ... G-Eazy!!! Give the man some kinda trophy, 'cause looks like he scored in Miami with Meg Thee Stallion.

Meg and G were all over each other ... hugging and snuggling as he planted kisses all over her face. Unclear exactly where they were at the time of hook-up, but they were sprawled out on a couch with other people around at a party.

G-Eazy posted the selfie vid, because ... who wouldn't??!! We don't know if they're a legit couple or just a weekend one-off but sure seems like he wants it to be official. He posted a pic of her -- in the same outfit from their video -- and slapped 4 hearts on it.

TBH ... Meg was, arguably, paying more attention to the lens than G-Eazy in the video. So, if they're the real deal, she's gonna make him work for it. Deservedly so!

We're guessing Halsey won't be sending any congrats to her ex-BF. Looks like he found his new bae one day after Halsey -- who was also in MIA -- went off on a guy who heckled her by yelling G-Eazy's name.

Halsey
DON'T DISRESPECT ME

When it rains it pours ... especially on South Beach.

Colin Kaepernick Super Charity Sunday ... Serves Up Meals, Clothes for the Needy

Published | Updated

Colin Kaepernick didn't spend his Super Bowl Sunday watching his old team lose the big game, instead, he gave back to the less fortunate.

Kaepernick went to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem on Sunday, spending over an hour with employees and touring the building. From there, he went over to the SCO Family Shelter in Jamaica, Queens where he teamed up with Eric Reid and 100 Suits for 100 Men.

In video obtained by TMZ, you can see Colin personally helping some of the men try on suits. The group is a non-profit dedicated to helping underprivileged men and women get business-style clothing so they have a better shot to get jobs.

After that, Colin helped serve meals at the Shelter with some help from the LES Girls Club and Know Your Rights volunteers.

TMZ broke the story ... Jay-Z, Beyonce and Blue Ivy were seen sitting during Demi Lovato's National Anthem performance at the Super Bowl. Of course, Kap believes he was blackballed from the NFL after starting his kneeling demonstration back in 2016.

During a recent media event with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Jay said, "we've moved past kneeling" ... a quote Kaepernick clearly remembers and referenced in a post on his Instagram story.

Jamie Foxx Sits Through Man's Passionate Rap ... Doesn't Seem Too Into It

Published
Jamie Foxx
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE

Jamie Foxx is such a good sport for this -- he listened to a guy pour his heart and soul into an impassioned freestyle rap that JF REALLY didn't appear to be all that crazy about.

The awkward moment went down Sunday night after the big game in Miami, where this fella seemingly sidled Jamie up and began rapping while filming himself next to the actor/singer. He goes all in on it too, and no offense to him ... but it's not great.

Looks like Jamie might've felt the same way, 'cause he stoically looked on as the dude kept going and going and going. Eventually, he gave the man a small clap and dipped out.

Gotta give him -- meaning Jamie -- props for being so patient here. Frankly ... a lot of other people might've cut this impromptu MC off and left him in the dust. Not Jamie though -- he sat through that whole dang thing and graciously paid respects afterward. What a guy!

BTW, just because JF guest judged on "The Masked Singer" this week doesn't mean he's ready to critique any Joe off the street. But, shoot your shot if you must. He'll listen, apparently.

Patrick Mahomes Goes Crazy For Andy Reid On Team Bus ... After Chiefs Dance Party!!!

Published | Updated

THIS IS AWESOME!!!

The Chiefs lost their minds celebrating their Super Bowl win Sunday night ... with a locker room dance party and a team bus celebration for Andy Reid -- and the video of it all is amazing.

Ya gotta watch the clips of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce on the team bus ... 'cause when coach Reid showed off the new Lombardi Trophy to the guys -- they lost their minds!!

Of course, it was all preceded by an amazing locker room celebration after Kansas City came back from being down 20-10, to beat the 49ers 31-20.

The scene was incredible ... there was a mosh pit dance circle ... star defensive lineman Chris Jones cutting a rug in the locker room -- and guys partying HARD!!

But, one of the best parts of the postgame? On the team bus to the nightclub celebration ... the dudes gave a hilarious rendition of "We Are The Champions!"

The party continued at the club ... where Mahomes was serenaded by hundreds of people chanting "M-V-P!"

The Chiefs ended up at LIV ... with Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman, and more raged with celebs like Kanye West, Odell Beckham and Floyd Mayweather in attendance.

If that's not big enough ... Lil Wayne even performed some of his biggest songs. So yeah ... it was a rager.

Dez Bryant I'm 'For Damn Sure' Returning To NFL ... Cowboys Are 1st Choice!!!

Published | Updated

"For damn sure I'm getting back on that field!"

Dez Bryant is GUARANTEEING he ain't done in the NFL yet ... telling TMZ Sports he's working like a mad man to return to the league next season.

... and the former All-Pro wide receiver says a reunion with his ex-Dallas Cowboys squad is the goal!!

"[The Cowboys] are my first choice," Dez told us outside of TAO in L.A. on Sunday night. "If the opportunity is there, I'mma take it!"

Bryant is clearly serious about this all ... the 31-year-old has been posting his recent workouts on social media -- and he's looking pretty good for a guy who hasn't played a pro down since 2017.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Remember, Dez had a shot to play for the Saints in 2018 ... but he tore his Achilles in a practice with the squad just hours after signing with them.

Bryant also said he battled anxiety and depression after the injury ... but now, the former NFL superstar clearly feels he's ready for a return.

"You know I gotta stay ready, man," Dez told us. "I gotta stay ready."

Dez also spoke with us about Antonio Brown's recent troubles ... and says he's going to support AB no matter what.

And, bonus for all you degenerates out there ... Dez also gave us his prediction for the Super Bowl!!!

Notorious B.I.G. & Puff Daddy Signed Vibe Poster for $ale at $54k!!!

Published | Updated

Got the itch for some old school hip-hop vibes? Ya better be rich 'cause that's what it'll take to land this Vibe poster ... signed by The Notorious B.I.G. and Puff Daddy on the night Biggie was tragically gunned down.

The folks over at Moments in Time are brokering the sale of this 2-foot by 3-foot poster of the iconic September 1996 Vibe magazine cover ... featuring Biggie and Puffy. It was signed at an industry party hosted by Quincy Jones' Vibe magazine on March 8, 1997, at the Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A.

We're told a record executive brought the poster with him that night and had Biggie and Puffy sign it. But, just hours later -- after the party was shut down at 12:35 AM by fire marshals citing overcrowding -- Biggie was shot 4 times in a drive-by while at a red light on Fairfax and Wilshire Blvds. He was pronounced dead at 1:15 A.M.

Fast-forward to the present ... the son of the record executive is unloading the poster and the asking price is a cool $54k. The memorabilia also includes Biggie's itinerary for his west coast trip as well as the party's invitation.

Calling all true players ...

R. Kelly's Ex-GF Azriel Clary Working with Feds ... Trying to Take Her Life Back

Published

Azriel Clary's has fully removed herself from R. Kelly's corner -- she's now cooperating with investigators in his federal sex crimes case in New York, according to sources with direct knowledge.

We've learned Clary has provided info about her experiences with the singer, and this time around, we're told she's not playing the role of supportive GF.

We broke the story ... Azriel was considering flipping on Kelly after cutting ties with him, and following a nasty fight with Joycelyn Savage while she was moving her stuff out of his condo. However, Clary was afraid ... because she'd allegedly lied to federal agents several times in the past to cover for Kelly.

We're told Azriel's no longer fearful of speaking out against Kelly and cooperating with the feds ... because she's finally fully disconnected from him and his team and wants to take control of her life.

There have been repercussions to her decisions ... our sources say she and her family have received death threats and been the target of online harassment since she left R. Kelly.

We're told prosecutors are monitoring the threats, along with those of the other alleged Kelly survivors ... but Clary's not letting it intimidate her.

As we reported ... Azriel has now moved back in with her family. Our sources say she's also focused on trying to help other women who've been in a similar situation ... whether with Kelly, or anyone else.

Helping the feds in their case against him is just the first step.

Kelly's lawyer, Steven Greenberg, tells TMZ he's not surprised by this development. He says, "It's not news to me. I've suspected it all along, but you can't get in the way of love... Rob's love for her."

Chainsaw in 'Summer School' 'Memba Him?!

Published | Updated

Illinois-local Dean Cameron (real name Dean Eikleberry) was only 25 years old when he landed the super-stoney roll of the school flunky and movie lover, Francis "Chainsaw" Gremp -- who earns a screening of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" for the class -- in the classic 1987 class comedy, "Summer School."

Dean Cameron was cast alongside some other stellar young actors including Mark Harmon as the lax teacher, Freddy Shoop ... and Kirstie Alley as the hot teacher next door Ms. Robin Bishop.

Cameron was also known for his small-screen surfer character, Jeff Spicoli, on the one (and only) season of the 1986 TV series "Fast Times."

Guess what he looks like now in his late 50s!

Jennifer Lopez & Shakira Rock Miami w/ Halftime Show ... Shakira Starts, J Lo Finishes

Published | Updated
Shakira
SHAKING UP MIAMI
UPDATE

6:56 AM PT -- 2/3 -- After the big game, Shakira celebrated her 43rd birthday -- which was also Sunday -- with a ton of friends and a massive cake at the Faena Theater.

UPDATE
Shakira
SUPER BIRTHDAY
UPDATE

As for her performance, Shakira rocked a pair of boots she's had for 15 years customized by artist Dan Life with $20K worth of Swarovski Crystals, about 30,000 crystals. She also customized her gold Adidas with $2K in crystals and 2 mics with $2K each in crystals.

UPDATE

Jennifer Lopez and Shakira just brought Miami to its knees with a Super Bowl Halftime performance for the ages ... one which Shak opened, and J Lo tied up in the end.

The two Latina singers were co-headliners Sunday during the big game, and things kicked off with Shakira taking the stage with a crew of dancers behind her and the color red flooding the space. She ran through a medley of her hits fairly quickly, but with flash to spare.

Some of her songs she touched on ... "She Wolf," "Empire," "Whenever, Wherever" and eventually ... "Hips Don't Lie." Latin rap star Bad Bunny came out to join her at one point.

JLO
LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER

Then came the big entrance for J Lo, who started at the top of a pole and made her way down to the stage with her song "Jenny from the Block" there to introduce her. She also ran through a bunch of her hits ... "I'm Real," "Get Right" and "Love Don't Cost a Thing."

One super cool moment ... Jennifer's 11-year-old daughter, Emme, joined her mom on stage to help sing "Let's Get Loud," which Shakira came back on to help out with as well.

They closed things out with one of Shakira's songs, "Waka Waka," and shook their booties together when it was all said and done. Tons of dancing, tons of flare ... a fantastic show.

Tom Brady Cryptic Pic Was Just Hulu Pub ... Now What?!?

Published

Tom Brady's cryptic photo at the stadium was cleared during the Super Bowl -- he's getting paid by Hulu, and probably not retiring from the NFL ... the latter, we already sorta knew.

TB12 was the star of a new Hulu commercial that was a red herring for his future in the NFL. He plugged the hell out of the streaming service, but ended the ad with a pretty declarative statement ... "I'm not going anywhere," which could be interpreted a couple ways.

So yeah, all that in/out of the tunnel intrigue he sparked turned out to be nothing more than promoting Hulu ... and, at the very least, he'll likely play again next year.

That's not really news though -- tons of folks, including NFL insiders and reporters, suspected he wouldn't hang it up this year. The question now ... where's he gonna play???

Tom Brady
WHAT I WANT TO DO

The Hulu ad didn't offer much in terms of an answer, and Tom himself was pretty tight-lipped about the subject when we ran into him heading into Hard Rock Stadium Sunday. He was gracious with us, saying he just wanted to watch football today. So be it, G.O.A.T.

Of course, the guy's got options. Reports surfaced this weekend that the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders would be in the hunt for Tommy if he became a free agent.

Hmmmm ... decisions, decisions.

SINGING HER HEART OUT

Demi Lovato fulfilled her own 10-year prophecy by belting out the National Anthem at Super Bowl LIV -- and she handled it like a pro.

The singer was decked out in all white Sunday at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami ahead of kickoff and with a line of troops behind her bearing our country's flags ... she let it rip on the mic. Demi did a pretty standard version of "The Star Spangled Banner" ... it was great.

What's funny though is that before her performance, an old tweet of hers surfaced online from 2010, which reads ... "One day, I'm gonna sing the national anthem at a super bowl. Onnnee dayyy...." Welp, she can definitely check that off the list now.

She's got her sights on a bigger Super Bowl gig down the road. Demi followed up with another tweet in the same vein as her old thought, saying ... "One day, I’m gonna perform the halftime show at the super bowl. Onnnee dayyy...." That's a 10-year challenge!

BTW, we gotta give props to DL for her take on the National Anthem ... very Whitney Houston-esq and just a powerhouse performance.

You've come a long way, kid. Congrats!!!
