Tupac stuck to street code until the bitter end ... refusing to rat out his murderer to police, while promising his squad would get retribution.

During the first day of Duane "Keefe D" Davis' trial for allegedly murdering Tupac, former Las Vegas Metro Police Department Officer Garry Dale took the stand to answer some questions about his brief encounter with the rapper.

Dale -- who was in the ambulance with Tupac after he was shot on September 7, 1996 -- said he asked Tupac multiple times who shot him ... but the rapper kept his mouth shut.

He said Tupac only responded by saying he and his crew would "take care of it" ... seemingly implying street justice would deal with the shooter.

So much for "just friends" ... Kroy Biermann and Jillian Green were caught making out during a hike in Georgia ... and it's all on video.

3:30 PM -- Not so fast -- Jeanie Buss' attorney just fired back with a letter to her siblings' legal teams ... stating the sale CANNOT happen.

In the letter, Adam Streisand cited a court order that states a sale can't be made without Jeanie's approval ... making the vote that was reported on Monday "void." It also stated Jeanie must remain the Lakers' owner for life.

"On behalf of Jeanie Buss, I demand that your clients make clear publicly that Jeanie Buss is the Controlling Owner of the Los Angeles Lakers and that your clients shall take no action on this supposed 'vote' to sell the 17.8% stake," Streisand wrote, according to CNBC.

He also accused Joey and Jesse of feeding Shams Charania bad info maliciously ... claiming they have a "years-long pattern" of doing so.

It truly is a new era for the Los Angeles Lakers -- the Buss family has sold its remaining 17.8% stake in the team to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner.

According to Shams Charania, the Buss family trust, which consists of Jeanie, Jim, Johnny, Jamie, Joey and Jesse, recently received the necessary votes to push the sale through.

As a result of the transaction, Jeanie will no longer serve as governor of the Lakers, as at least 15-percent ownership is required to hold the position.

Hayden Panettiere wasn't feeling well in the months before her death ... even needing crutches to get around at one point.

Photogs caught up with the star at LAX back in March ... she was moving gingerly and leaning heavily on the mobility devices.

Hayden told the photog she was dealing with some pinched nerves in her lower back ... and she promised she was on the mend before slowly stepping into her waiting SUV.

But the NBA is pushing back, saying the story "contains numerous and significant inaccuracies."

Two ambulances raced to Hayden Panettiere's death scene and rolled out stretchers, which seems to confirm what we've been hearing ... that Hayden wasn't the only one in the apartment unit.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the 2 ambulances were dispatched to the scene, although no one was wheeled out of the apartment and the ambulances left without a patient inside.

A source tells us, Hayden's on-and-off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, was living in the unit with his brother. Hayden and Brian flew from L.A. to South Carolina Saturday and were both at the apartment.

Alessandra Ambrosio is long retired from Victoria's Secret, but she's still got game ... looking sexy as ever on a beach volleyball court.

The murder trial for alleged Tupac Shakur killer Duane "Keefe D" Davis began Monday ... and the much-anticipated opening arguments were 30 years in the making.

The trial's taking place in a Nevada courtroom almost exactly 30 years after Tupac was gunned down near the Las Vegas Strip.

Prosecutors say Keefe planned the murder and produced the gun used to kill Tupac -- though they say he's not the man who fired the fatal shot.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.

Hayden Panettiere spoke lovingly about her daughter in one of her final interviews ... hoping her child would someday understand their many years apart.

Hayden said she nearly died when she gave birth to Kaya in December 2014 ... she needed seven blood transfusions and three hours of surgery.

Hayden Panettiere's on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson told us she was the textbook "Sunday girl" when we last talked to him ... and three months later she was found dead on a Sunday in an apartment linked to him.

Brian sat down with TMZ's Charlie Neff back in May -- Hayden had a new memoir out at the time -- and it's interesting to look back at the conversation in the wake of Hayden's sudden death.

Hayden and Brian started dating in 2018, and he held their relationship in high regard ... telling us Hayden "is the sweetest thing in the world."

Brian put it like this ... "It's not about who you spend Saturday night with, it's about who you spend all Sunday with, and Hayden Panettiere is a Sunday girl."
