Simone Biles I'm Not Pregnant!!! ... Shuts Down Rumors
Simone Biles wants everyone to pump the brakes on all the pregnancy talk ... assuring her fans she is not expecting a baby anytime soon after a recent Instagram post was met with speculation.
Biles' fans started to wonder after the gymnastics G.O.A.T. posted a photo of herself at the Packers vs. Giants game on Monday ... where she watched her husband, Green Bay safety Jonathan Owens, do his thing.
Some followers felt like the picture gave some sort of hint she was carrying a bun in the oven ... with one saying, "Picture is sending baby vibes."
Another fan commented, "Is she expecting?? I'm so happy for them!!❤️❤️❤️"
However, Biles -- who got married to Owens this April -- had to put a stop to all the chatter ... and cleared the air on her profile Wednesday morning.
"I hate that I even have to address this, but please stop commenting on this photo or my Instagram in general about me being 'pregnant,'" Biles said on Wednesday.
"I'm not pregnant."
When they got engaged last year, however, Biles did mention during a Q&A that Owens -- who signed a 1-year deal with the Packers in May -- wants a "football team" of kids in the future ... and she only wants two.
It seems her focus right now is making it to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games ... and the babies will come at a later date.

Megan Thee Stallion is riled up after seeing her ex-boyfriend Pardison Fontaine spill his version of their toxic breakup ... which she says is all a fabricated fairy tale!!!
Meg set it off Wednesday morning on IG Live, where she doubled down on her "Cobra" claims that Pardi cheated on her. She claims he caught him getting oral sex in their home, and says he only attempted to switch the narrative to fit his own diss song.
The "Savage" rapper then directed her anger at her ex-friend Kelsey Harris and Tory Lanez in light of social media spreading a purported statement from Tory's bodyguard on the night Meg was shot in June 2020.
Megan reiterated that Kelsey didn't shoot her and laid into her former BFF for going mum ... figuring she was either paid off or in fear for her life.
Megan went on to remind everyone who she says DID do it ... namely, Tory Lanez, who's sitting in prison. In his purported statement, the bodyguard stated he didn't see who shot Megan, which doesn't change the verdict upheld in court.
She also ripped social media "lawyers" for getting their facts wrong ... she says the case was won in court, but uneducated fans care about online opinions more.

Pardi's repeatedly said he's trying to move past the situation, and Megan says she's been doing the same ... going hard in the gym but now loathes coming onto social media because it sucks out her joy.
She's got blonde hair for Pete's sake -- she's trying to let the new Meg shine!!!

Luke Combs Lawsuit Against Fan Selling Tumblers Makes Me Sick ... So I'm Making Things Right
update
2:54 PM PT -- Luke Combs just unveiled his own tumbler, going for $20 a piece on his website ... and as promised, all proceeds will go to Nicol Harness and her family.
Luke Combs is shooting down his own $250,000 lawsuit against a Florida woman who was selling $20 tumblers with his likeness -- he says he didn't know about it, and is now taking steps to help her financially.
The country music star says he was unaware his team was going after the woman in court, and, in a video he posted Wednesday morning, he says it made him sick to his stomach when he woke up to headlines about her plight.
The lawsuit was filed in an Illinois federal court, and it roped in Nicol Harness, who says she was selling $20 Luke Combs tumblers on Amazon ... and only making $380 total. She says she didn't know she was being sued until her Amazon account froze and she learned a judge ordered her to pay $250K.
Luke says he got in touch with the woman and she told him she could not access $5,500 in her Amazon account ... and he's promising to send her double that amount, which is $11K.
What's more, Luke says he's going to start selling his own tumbler and give the proceeds to Nicol ... because she suffers from congestive heart failure and has tons of medical bills.
Luke says he pays a company to go after large-scale counterfeiters of his merchandise ... and he's not sure how Nicol's tiny operation got swept up in the lawsuit.
Nicol says she started selling the tumblers this year after going to a Luke Combs concert ... and he says he's inviting her to an upcoming show so he can also apologize in person.
The lawsuit is still playing out in court, but Luke makes it seem like she won't have to fork over $250K when the dust settles.

Jonathan Majors Surveillance Vid Shows Car Scuffle ... GF Chasing After Him
-
Exclusive
- 827 shares
Surveillance video of the night in question surrounding the Jonathan Majors' trial has been released -- showing a scuffle between the actor and his then-girlfriend -- and a foot chase shortly thereafter.
The judge has kept a tight lid on all the evidence being presented in court over these past couple weeks, but, on Wednesday ... he popped the lid open and released it all to the media, including key footage the prosecution has been showing to the jury to prove their case.
One video, in particular, is critical ... it shows the aftermath of the alleged incident between Majors and his accuser, Grace Jabbari, after she claims he attacked her in a vehicle.
You can see Majors and Jabbari outside of an SUV ... which is stopped at a light in the middle of a relatively empty NYC street. Majors and Jabbari can be seen milling outside of the car, seemingly talking, and eventually ... Majors appears to wrap her up in his arms.
From there, you see what prosecutors describe as, "using physical force once again, Majors picked her up with both hands and shoved her repeatedly into the Escalade." However, Majors isn't successful in doing so. Soon, he lets go and bolts away from her ... and Jabbari quickly goes after him.
The pursuit goes on for quite some time, it seems, and they go for at least a couple blocks before Majors outruns Jabbari. After he loses her, she stumbles across a group of strangers on the street ... and they start to talk, with the small crew consoling her.
Majors eventually makes his way back and passes the group, with Jabbari spotting him, and he strolls by them -- seemingly telling her to stay back and to stay away. She attempts to talk to him, but he continues on down the street ... Jabbari follows him yet again.
Eventually, the two separate ... Majors goes and stays the night at a hotel and Jabbari goes out to a nightclub.
As we reported ... Majors called 911 the next morning for a suspected overdose/suicide when he found Jabbari passed out in his closet. There's video that shows him making this call as well, which he did from the lobby of his building. Once cops show up, he escorts them upstairs to his unit. The video also shows him leading them right to her, and she's completely passed out in his closet.
Eventually, we see Jabbari come down with the officers ... and she's standing upright. Photos that depict Jabbari's alleged injuries were also released as part of the evidence dump.
Remember, this is all stuff that's been played/shown in court already, but which is just now becoming publicly available. In the meantime, Majors' trial continues Wednesday and the prosecution has rested its case ... now, the defense is starting to trot out their witnesses.

Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are bringing some *NSYNC flair to New York City, where they performed at a holiday party, and probably fueled reunion hopes and dreams by singing some of the group's hits.
The singers showed up at the Bilt Rewards Winter Holiday House Party Tuesday night at Maxwell Social in Tribeca -- and over 350 guests including Bilt Rewards Founder & CEO Ankur Jain were entertained by the surprise duo, who jumped on the mic to sing tracks like "Bye Bye Bye" and "Tearin' Up My Heart."
And, since 'tis the season ... Joey and Lance also took some time to sing the group's holiday hit, "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays."
They were also chucking some stuffed 'Trolls' dolls out to folks in the audience -- a tip of the hat to the boy band's recent reunion for a song in Justin Timberlake's flick, "Trolls Band Together."
The guys bumped into a few "RHONY" stars throughout the night ... including Countess Luann de Lesseps and newbie Erin Lichy and her husband Abraham, as well as Dorinda Medley -- who actually joined Lance and Joey onstage for "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!"'
RHONJ stars Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs, Million Dollar Listing New York's Ryan Serhant, and RHONY alum Carole Radziwill were also at the party.
No sign of Justin, JC Chasez, and Chris Kirkpatrick at the holiday shindig -- let's be honest, getting the whole group would've been a MUCH higher price tag.
Although the 'Trolls' song built up hopes the guys would do a full album or even tour ... the word from folks in the know is it still isn't happening.

Jonathan Majors 911 Call For GF ... 'Attempted Suicide, I Think'
Jonathan Majors thought Grace Jabbari tried taking her own life after their messy breakup, telling 911 dispatchers she insinuated as much before finding her unconscious on the floor of his apartment.
TMZ obtained the 911 call Jonathan made the day he was arrested ... and he says he's calling for an "attempted suicide."
Jonathan tells the dispatcher Grace said she might harm herself after they broke up, and he spent the night in a hotel. JM claims Grace had locked him out of his penthouse apartment in Manhattan.
In the audio, Jonathan says the building's doorman had to help him get inside, where he found Grace passed out in his closet. He says she's naked from the waist down, appears to be unconscious and has a cut behind her ear.
Jonathan stays on the line until first responders arrive ... and he seems concerned about Grace. The dispatcher asks him if she had fallen, but he's unsure.
As we reported ... two NYPD officers also responded, and they testified that when Grace woke up, she asked how she'd gotten there and asked if Majors was there or if he was outside, seemingly worried.
The cops also testified Grace asked them why her ear had hurt -- remember, the cut ear is one of the reasons Jonathan is being prosecuted -- but they conceded on the stand they did not ask her if she'd fallen.
Remember ... Grace told cops Jonathan had attacked her following a dispute the night before, and he ended up being arrested.
The 911 call is part of an evidence dump from Majors' assault trial ... which continues today. The prosecution has already rested its case, with Majors' defense starting to call their witnesses to the stand.

Oprah Reacts to Her Own Portrait ... At Smithsonian Unveiling
Oprah Winfrey is now one of a handful of notable public figures to get drawn into the record books for one of America's most famous museums, and her reaction to the paint job is ... positive?
Here's the deal ... the entertainment mogul received the honor of a massive portrait of herself that's going into the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The unveiling went down Wednesday morning, with Oprah's friends and family in attendance.
Shawn Michael Warren is the artist, and he joined O to pull off the drape covering his work, which looks to stand at about 7 feet tall or so. Keep in mind, Oprah had never seen the finished product.
Once the curtain was yanked ... she could see the painting in all its glory, depicting her in a purple dress, smiling wide in her "prayer garden." To us, the portrait looks fantastic, and most everyone there seemed to agree too ... but it's hard to tell if Oprah liked it.
Maybe we're reading too much into how she reacted, but she certainly looked shocked. It's just not clear if it's a look of stunned joy, or astonished mortification. 😅
We'd like to assume it's the former, and that she digs it ... because honestly, it is quite nice.
Anyway, this thing is permanently the museum's forever -- and like we mentioned, O is joining an exclusive club ... especially as it pertains to modern celebs. The Smithsonian features portraits of tons of famous figures throughout history, but only a handful of 21st-century celebs ... not including presidents, like Barack Obama, who has one.
Another A-lister who's been honored with a permanent portrait there ... Beyoncé's portrait was installed back in 2019.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High Student Slammed on Head in Video ... School Working with Cops

Exclusive Details

A student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Florida -- where a mass shooting took place a few years ago -- was met with pure brutality by his own peers ... as seen in this shocking video.
Several clips depicting a recent fight among students at MSDHS are making the rounds online, and in all of them ... you can see one kid getting jumped by multiple other teens who are ganging up on him and pummeling him with blows.
Eventually, you see him get picked up by at least a few students ... who then throw him back on the ground, and he lands awkwardly on his neck and head -- instantly going limp.
Of course, a crowd formed around the chaos ... and most of the students cruelly stood by and watched.
But, some did attempt to check on the boy -- who appeared completely unconscious -- and they rolled him over on his back. You can hear someone ask if he's breathing, but others are more entertained by the fact he was KO'd.
The video is rightly sparking outrage in the community, which already went through utter devastation in 2018 when Nikolas Cruz claimed the lives of 17 people.
There's been speculation this might've taken place on school grounds, in one of the parking lots, but the school principal tells TMZ ... that's not the case.
Michelle Kefford says this took place at a nearby park, and did indeed involve students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas. In a note sent to parents, she adds ... "While this park is not a school or district-operated property, the safety of our students is always our priority, and we are working with law enforcement to help identify those involved."
She continues, "Due to the open investigation, I am not able to provide additional details, but I want to assure you this situation is being taken seriously. Please do remind your students to say something if they see something. As always, thank you for your support."
Unclear what condition the injured student is in at this point -- some people online have claimed he actually fractured his skull ... but is apparently conscious now.

SELENA GOMEZ CUDDLES UP WITH BF BENNY BLANCO ... Enjoy the View, Haters!!!
Selena Gomez is rubbing it in the faces of all those folks hating on her new romance ... sharing yet another loved-up image with new BF Benny Blanco a week after confirming they're dating.
In the black and white image shared to her IG Stories Tuesday night, the "Only Murders In The Building" star cuddles up to her man ... sporting a big grin as she adoringly grabs onto his arm.
This is just the latest B&W snap Selena has shared with Benny -- who she's apparently been dating for 6 months ... which was right around the time of her 31st birthday.
Indicating they're super serious, she's also posted shots of her "B" ring, and she showed off the sparkler while enjoying a beverage in one cozy snap.
It's been a rollercoaster week for Selena ... who felt the need to defend her relationship from online critics blasting her for "dating down" following romances with Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Taylor Lautner and Nick Jonas.
Selena handled those comments immediately ... firing back that she's "never dating a f***boy ever again" -- though her response to other criticism was a little more indirect.
When people began slamming SG for going hard with her new romance with BB, but shying away from the Israel-Palestine issue after catching considerable flak ... she replied, "You're right."
Nonetheless, she's clearly still in the honeymoon stage with Benny, gushing online, "He is my absolute everything in my heart" -- so for all the naysayers ... looks like he's here to stay.

Pardi says he and Meg have nothing to talk about anymore and defended his "Thee Stallion" diss track, which he says has the answers to their breakup -- he felt Megan was showing signs of disloyalty, and he got his lick back instead of being a sucker.
Megan's supporters have been accusing Pardi of using her name to stay relevant ... something for which he actually accepts blame.

Taylor Swift might not have Travis Kelce by her side to kick off her 34th birthday, but turns out the couple got in a pre-celebration with his mom, Donna Kelce, and his QB, Patrick Mahomes ... and we've got video of their night out.
The gang painted Kansas City red -- for Taylor and the Chiefs -- Sunday night at the Miracle on Main Street Christmas bar ... and despite the fact Trav and co. had lost to the Bills that day, everyone still seemed to have a great time.
We're told Donna was the first to dip out, leaving around 10:45 PM with some other folks in a Mercedes van. Patrick and his wife Brittany stuck around until about 1 AM when they jumped in their own party bus.
Taylor and Travis, however, enjoyed their time together until around 2 AM -- gotta get in every possible minute when you're in a long-distance relationship! As we reported, Taylor planted a big smooch on Travis inside the holiday-themed bar that night.
They eventually left together in a white SUV with security in tow, and interestingly ... Travis' had driven his Rolls-Royce to the bar, but must've had a few drinks -- he opted to leave his luxury car on the street, and ride with Taylor instead.
Taylor's showing no signs of stopping when it comes to cheering on Travis from the sidelines ... win or lose. They've lost the last 2 she attended, but hey ... they're still 4-2 with her, and still 1st in their division!
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Matt LeBlanc Steps Out for Dinner w/ Pals ... After Matthew Perry Death
Matt LeBlanc stepped out for dinner this week -- one of the last remaining "Friends" to do so since Matthew Perry died ... and it's meaningful for a lot of different reasons.
The actor hit up Nobu in Malibu Tuesday -- which is big considering it's one of the most high-profile celeb hot spots in town ... and whoever goes there certainly wants to be seen. You could argue that's the case for Matt here -- who was joined by a bunch of buddies.
He looked fairly neutral and pensive as he rolled up with the boys, but at one point ... he did, in fact, flash a big smile as he greeted one of his friends near the valet booth outside.
Like we said ... it's significant to see MLB out and about like this in the wake of his old costar's tragic passing -- which occurred in late October. The reason ... they were close cast members on the hit sitcom ... just think about Chandler and Joey.
We've seen Matt step out in public before ... but the last time he did that, he was behind the wheel driving around in L.A. -- so it wasn't quite like what we're seeing here at Nobu.
The theme, you might argue, is that life moves on ... and so do people, no matter who leaves us. And yet, as hard as MP's death must be for him -- he, too, appears to be trying to carry on as normally as he can. Last month, Matt posted a formal farewell to Perry.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Like we said, other "Friends" actors have stepped out in the spotlight since Matthew passed -- not including his funeral, of course, which they all attended. We've seen Courteney Cox hit dinner in L.A. ... and David Schwimmer has also shown face in the wake of his death.
The only ones we haven't seen publicly thus far are ... Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, but something tells us we'll likely spot them out and about in due time as well.
Perry's sudden death has undoubtedly hit them all hard ... they're making do best they can.

Bradley Cooper Daddy-Daughter Date to 'Maestro' ... Dolled Up for L.A. Premiere
Bradley Cooper conducted himself well during the premiere of his big Oscar-buzzy film this week -- playing the role of both A-lister and Papa Bear ... 'cause he brought his kid along.
The actor/director showed up dressed to the nines Tuesday night in L.A. for the debut of "Maestro," the Netflix movie in which he stars ... and for which he's said to be up for an Academy Award in due time. Notably, his date wasn't Gigi Hadid ... rather, he brought 6-year-old Lea.
Lea, of course, is his daughter that he shares with Irina Shayk ... who wasn't there either, BTW. She did show support online though -- posting a sweet shout-out to both of them.
Anyway, Brad was on daddy duty -- holding Lea's hand and escorting her along the carpet.
Obviously, it made for a super sweet moment in front of cameras -- but more importantly, it was a peek at BC's life behind the scenes. He normally takes great care to shield Lea away from the spotlight, and prioritizes privacy -- especially as it pertains to his family.
Last night, however, it seems he was ready to introduce her to the world ... cute kid.
Another highlight from the premiere came in a cool reunion between Lady Gaga and Brad ... who, of course, were in "A Star is Born" a few years back -- which was an award darling at the time. She didn't have anything to do with this latest flick ... she was just supporting.
Considering their success the last time around, her presence might be a good luck charm.
Now, controversy aside, "Maestro" is said to be big-time Oscar bait ... and seeing how Brad's in front of and behind the camera for this one -- he stands to walk away a major winner.
It's in select theaters now, and hits Netflix on the 20th.

Taylor Swift 34 Here I Come!!! Celebrates with Selena, Miles, Keleigh
Taylor Swift got in some pre-birthday partying Tuesday night ... painting the town red with Selena Gomez, Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry.
The pop superstar turned 34 Wednesday -- but last evening when she was still 33, she and her small posse of famous friends went clubbing in the Big Apple.
TMZ obtained video and images, showing Taylor, Miles and Keleigh pulling up to Zero Bond in Manhattan and climbing out of their SUV.
Taylor -- clad in a fashionable tan trench coat and black boots - then sauntered inside the private club with the couple.
Keleigh also appeared stylish, wearing a navy jacket and short skirt. Miles, though, dressed down for the occasion, sporting jeans, a flannel shirt and a baseball cap.
Selena must have joined them inside because she was pictured leading Taylor -- hand in hand -- out of the hot spot with Miles and Keleigh in tow. By the way, Selena looked amazing in her tight black ensemble.
The foursome hit up a wine bar before calling it a night.
But there was one very special man who was MIA and that was ... you guessed it ... Travis Kelce!!! Taylor's hunky boyfriend/Kansas City Chiefs tight end had some quiet time to himself it seems.
But we're sure Taylor will be right back in his arms pretty soon. The lovebirds appear almost inseparable these days.

Draymond Green Smacks Jusuf Nurkic In Head ... Gets Ejected Again
NBA fans are calling for yet another suspension for Draymond Green ... this time after the Warriors superstar was ejected for whacking one of his opponents in the face with a hard right hand.
The incident happened in the third quarter of Golden State's game against the Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday ... when Green appeared to be trying to back down Jusuf Nurkic during an inbounds play.
As Green attempted to shimmy his way into the paint, Nurkic provided some resistance -- and in response, Draymond spun around, flailed his arms and made contact with the Suns center's head.

— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) December 13, 2023 @BleacherReport
Nurkic immediately crumpled in pain -- and a short time later, Green was hit with a flagrant foul 2 and tossed from the action.
The ejection was the third for Green this season -- and the second one since he was given the boot for putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold during the Warriors' game against the Timberwolves last month.
Following Tuesday night's latest incident, Green told media members he didn't mean to hit Nurkic -- and apologized for his actions.
"As you know, I am not one to apologize for things I mean to do, but I do apologize to Jusuf because I didn't intend to hit him," Green said after the game. "I sell calls with my arms. I don't fall to sell a call. I'm not a flopper. So I was just selling the call 'cause he was grabbing me and pulling my hip back. So, I spun away and unfortunately I hit him."
Nurkic, meanwhile, wasn't pleased with the play -- though he was at least able to crack a bit of a smile about it all with media members following the game.
"Personally, I feel like that brother needs help."

"Personally, I feel like that brother needs help," Nurkic said. "I'm glad he didn't try to choke me."
As you know, Green has been suspended multiple times in his career for similar acts -- including a five-game ban in November for the way he put his hands on Gobert.
The Warriors and Timberwolves got chippy just two minutes into their in-season tournament game 😳

Most expect a suspension to be handed down sooner than later for the Nurkic play too -- it just remains to be seen how many contests Green will be forced to sit out.
The Warriors, meanwhile, went on to lose to the Suns with Green in the locker room, falling 119-116.
