Breaking News

Kristin Cavallari says reports that Jay Cutler was the one who called off their engagement in 2011 are JUST WRONG -- insinuating SHE was the one who dumped him.

The breakup was big news back then ... especially since they announced the split RIGHT AFTER Kristin did a wedding dress photo shoot to publicize the wedding. People thought Jay was pretty cold-hearted.

But now, 5 years later, Kristin is saying everyone (including People, which reported she got dumped) was wrong ... and she went on "Wake Up With Taylor" on SiriusXM to tell her side of the split.

"All the tabloids said that Jay broke up with me, called off the engagement ... and I was like, what the f**k? That's not true! But I didn't say anything 'cause I didn't think it was anybody's business."

Of course, they ended up getting back together a few months later anyway and getting married ... and having a bunch of kids.

One of the people behind The Fappening -- the hacking and release of nude pics and vids belonging to more than a dozen celebrities -- was busted by the feds, and is now pleading guilty.

Ryan Collins was charged with unauthorized access to a protected computer. The feds say Collins is responsible for hacking into the computers of more than 100 victms -- at least 18 of them famous -- and downloading their photos and videos.

According to the docs, he got in through Apple iCloud and Gmail accounts between Nov. 1, 2012 and Sep. 2, 2014 ... using a phishing scheme.

Some of the famous Fappening victims included Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and Hope Solo. It's unclear if Collins hacked their accounts in particular. He has not been charged with leaking the material to the public.

Former Michigan State basketball star Mateen Cleaves -- who was the backbone of the 2000 National Championship team -- has been charged with multiple crimes in connection to an alleged sexual assault.

Officials say 39-year-old Cleaves sexually assaulted a woman he met during a charity golf event back in 2015.

Cleaves allegedly took the woman to a motel in Grand Blanc, Michigan on Sept. 15th after offering her a ride home from a nearby bar ... and held her in the room against her will and sexually assaulted her.

The 24-year-old woman says she was able to escape and got help from someone in a nearby room.

Cleaves has now been charged with unlawful imprisonment, assault with intent to commit criminal sexual penetration, criminal sexual conduct in the 2nd degree and 2 counts of criminal sexual conduct in the 3rd degree.

If convicted on all counts, Cleaves faces SERIOUS prison time.

He's expected to turn himself in Thursday morning.

Caitlyn Jenner -- a longtime staunch Republican -- is softening her political views, or at least she's "willing to listen" ... as she puts it.

Caitlyn posted a pic of herself and her girlfriends hobnobbing with Hillary Clinton ahead of Tuesday's primaries. Interesting, since during a recent episode of "I Am Cait" ... she said Clinton only cares about herself and is not really interested in women's issues.

The pic included the hashtag, "#learningfrommygirls."

Politics aside, is a mini-skirt appropriate for meeting a presidential candidate? It was for Caitlyn!

Tension at a Donald Trump rally finally reached boiling point ... as multiple fist fights broke out in Chicago forcing the candidate to pull the plug over safety concerns.

The crowd was fired up and cameras were rolling even before Trump arrived, and the video is intense -- supporters and protesters squared off all over the arena on campus at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Since Trump wasn't there, microphones weren't on yet ... but the rage is still clear. This all started simmering much earlier in the day, outside the arena.

Worth nothing, this morning Trump applauded the North Carolina man who sucker-punched a protester.

The biggest names from Hollywood and Washington, D.C. descended on Simi Valley Friday morning for Nancy Reagan's funeral.

Among those honoring the former First Lady ... Michelle Obama, President and Mrs. George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Larry King and more.

What do we do when we fall off the horse?

If you're Holly Holm... you get your ass back in the gym and start training with some of the best MMA stars in the world.

Here's the fallen champ posing for pics at the Jackson Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque Friday after working out with Jon Jones and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Thursday, Holm was rollin' with BJ Penn and Roberto Alencar.

Holm has vowed to bounce back after her loss to Miesha Tate and win the UFC belt back.

This ain't a bad way to start ...

Moonie, the dog who shared the big screen with Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blonde" has died.

Reese just broke the ruff news ... posting a pic of her and Moonie, who played Bruiser Woods. She said, "I will never forget all the days we spent together ... I'm sure his tail is wagging in the sky."

Moonie was a rescued chihuahua before landing the "Legally Blonde" gig ... and was good pals with Gidget, the Taco Bell dog.

He was 18.

#RIPBruiser

Cesar Millan insists the pig that was bitten by an over aggressive dog during a training session ... is totally fine now, and video from his show proves it.

TMZ broke the story ... Animal Control went to Cesar's training center to investigate an incident shown on "Cesar 911." He was trying to train a French bulldog with a penchant for attacking its owner's pot-bellied pigs -- but the dog ended up biting a pig's ear.

Nat Geo, which airs the show, says Cesar created a "safe and controlled environment" to rehabilitate aggressive dogs. It stresses he took precautions before "making initial corrections and removing the leash." And although the dog attacked it says the pig was tended to immediately, healed and showed "no lasting signs of distress."

Video shows Cesar putting the dog and the pig back together the next day ... and the pig actually walks its attacker.

It's unclear if the clip is enough to clear Cesar from animal cruelty charges, but Nat Geo seems to be saying ... since the dog was cured, the end justifies the means.

Morena Baccarin and "Gotham" co-star Ben McKenzie welcomed their first kid together ... daughter Frances Laiz Setta Schenkkan.

Frances was born on March 2. The couple's reps confirmed the baby girl and mom were "happy and healthy."

As for the name ... it appears to be a collaborative effort. Frances is McKenzie's mom's middle name and Setta is Baccarin's mother's maiden name. Schenkkan is Ben's real last name.

Baccarin's pregnancy has been a little complicated -- she's been hashing out a nasty divorce to soon-to-be ex Austin Chick, with whom she already has a 2-year-old son, Julian.

Derek Fisher is breaking his silence on his violent altercation with Matt Barnes -- claiming he wouldn't call it a fight ... because he was ATTACKED and refused to fight back.

HOCKEY SMACK TALK!!!!

President Barack Obama stuck it to Canada this morning ... hitting the Prime Minister over the subject that hurts the most -- HOCKEY!!!!

Obama was with P.M. Justin Trudeau at the White House talking about things the two countries will never agree on. One of those things ... who's better at hockey.

When Trudeau sniped, "Don't get me started" ... Obama replied, "Where's the Stanley Cup right now?"

"I'm sorry, is it in my hometown with the Chicago Blackhawks?!"

BOOOOOM!!!!!!!

Katt Williams got out of a Georgia jail cell -- even though prosecutors fought hard to have him held without bail -- but the judge put several restrictions on his release.

During Katt's bond hearing prosecutors hit him with 2 new charges -- marijuana and firearm possession, both felonies -- and argued the comedian should be held behind bars. He'd already been charged with terror threats and false imprisonment for allegedly directing others to choke and hold his bodyguard, Corey Dixon, hostage.

The judge released him on a $60k bond -- and ordered Katt to stay away from drugs, alcohol and guns.

In court, prosecutors said Katt and his crew shaved off Corey's beard while holding him and threatening to kill him. As part of his release ... Katt must also stay away from the bodyguard, and surrender his passport.

No more international gigs, at least for now.

3:25 PM PT -- The hearing's ended, and the judge did not rule yet on whether an examiner will be needed to review 50 Cent's assets. Nor did she comment about the "fake" money pics that prompted his creditors to demand an examiner.

Stay tuned.

50 Cent thumbed his nose at his many, many creditors by showing up in bankruptcy court with stacks of cash -- possibly fake -- sticking out of his waistband.

50 had to show up in a Hartford, CT court on Wednesday to face the judge over his social media poses with giant wads of money. As we first reported ... Fiddy claimed in docs the dough is just prop money he uses to keep up his image as a rich mogul.

Considering the reason for today's hearing, it was pretty bold (or stupid) of him to post this shot ... WHILE the hearing was still in progress.

We'll see if the judge digs 50's cents of humor.

Donald Trump's catching a lot of flak over his meat -- since those slabs of beef he called his own, "Trump Steaks," aren't really his -- but turns out he IS in bed with the real owner.

After Trump's victory speech from his golf club in Jupiter, Florida ... critics jumped all over him for bragging about the meat. He referred to Trump Steaks ... a now defunct line of meat he sold in the early 2000s, but reporters on scene noticed the packaging said Bush Brothers -- a FL based meat company.

Bush Brothers confirms it was their product onstage with the Donald, and they didn't know he was going to whip out the meat. But the BB rep added they do a lot of biz with the candidate ... as the exclusive steak supplier to all of Trump's South Florida properties.

Sooo ... he definitely stretched the truth, but the beef is at least Trump adjacent.

Besides, he's got bigger steak issues -- like the fact he cops to ordering his "well done."

The shooting death of ex Eagle Randy Meisner's wife just got even more bizarre -- a pair of cowboy boot spurs literally triggered the rifle that killed her.

As we reported ... Lana Meisner was killed while moving the case holding the rifle. Law enforcement sources now tell us there were 2 spurs in the case, and when Lana picked up the case ...the spurs fell and hit the trigger.
