DeMario Jackson came out of hiding and while he was mostly tight-lipped about the sexual encounter with Corinne Olympios that shut down "Bachelor in Paradise" ... he did answer one key question.

The 'BIP' star was leaving Caffe Primo in West Hollywood Tuesday when paps peppered him with questions. We asked what he thought about Corinne saying she was too wasted to consent ... and if he was pissed.

DeMario's clearly playing this close to the vest, but he at least wants everyone to know where he stands with Corinne.

Camille Jones -- who raised 3 superstar athletes including Jon Jones -- passed away Sunday after a battle with diabetes, her family confirms.

Camille's son, Arthur Jones -- an NFL lineman -- broke the sad news on social media, saying, "It's hard to [accept] the fact that my mother is not with me anymore."

He added, "She went to be with my sister in heaven. No more pain & suffering."

"Mom, I love you so much!"

Camille is survived by her husband, Arthur, and sons Jon, Arthur III and Chandler Jones ... who's also an NFL star currently playing with the AZ Cardinals.

Michael Irvin has a message for officials investigating the sexual assault allegations against him ... it's time to close the case and move on ... saying the investigation has gone on for "too long."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the NFL Hall of Famer is being investigated for allegedly drugging and raping a 27-year-old woman at a Florida hotel back in March.

Irvin and his lawyer, Ken Padowitz, addressed the case at a news conference Tuesday ... doubling down on his stance that he did nothing wrong ... and is totally innocent.

"This has been the most difficult thing that my family and I have ever had to endure," Irvin says.

"I've always said that nothing, nothing happened here, I just want to get this process behind me."

Irvin told TMZ Sports last month that the rape kit came back negative, although officials have yet to confirm the test result.

The case is currently being reviewed by the Broward County State Attorney.

3:33 PM PT -- The Senate Rules Committee just reversed the restriction ... so all is good with hallway interviews.

U.S. Senators just collectively stiff-armed the media -- banning all recorded interviews in the hallways of the Capitol ... unless reporters get special permission.

The new rule essentially allows the Senate to cherry-pick who they talk to and where. It also means our guy in D.C. won't be getting candid moments with YOUR elected officials.

No more Sen. Burr boasting about his committee's TV ratings ... or Sen. Graham advising President Trump on his golf game ... or Sen. McCain pouring his heart out to Ashton Kutcher.

Hallway interviews will still be allowed if approved by the Senate Rules Committee, the Senate Sergeant At Arms or the Senate Radio and TV Committee.

Translation: more red tape and more booooring.

Kanye probably put it best ...

The fans went absolutely CRAZY in downtown Oakland Monday night ... dancing in the streets and climbing light poles to celebrate the Warriors' huge win over the Cavs!!

Dub Nation flocked the streets shortly after Kevin Durant and Steph Curry finished off the Cavs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals ... and they're clearly excited the Larry O'Brien trophy is back in the Bay Area.

One passionate fan even decided to climb up on a street sign and get his groove on while a group of fans rocked out to "Before I Let Go" by Frankie Beverly and Maze.

Doesn't look like this party is stopping anytime soon.

Bill Cosby was antsy enough that he didn't want to wait at home Tuesday, because he showed up to the courthouse where a jury is deciding if he sexually assaulted Andrea Constand.

Cosby's wife, Camille, did not show today. The jury deliberated 4 hours Monday night before calling it quits for the evening.

Cosby faces 3 sexual assault charges, each one carrying a maximum of 10 years in prison.

Here's Tom Brady doing the anti-Dan Marino -- sporting a fist full of Super Bowl rings ... 3 days after he added #5 to his collection.

Why is he still wearing the hardware out in public? Why not? Wouldn't you?

Brady and his wife/concussion whistle-blower Gisele were out celebrating Dia dos Namorados -- the Brazilian equivalent to Valentine's Day on Monday.

The location of the celebration is unclear -- but you can see Tom rockin' 4 rings as the event band busts out a custom freestyle about Tom and Gisele's healthy eating habits.

Ronda Rousey busted her ass this weekend -- pounding the sand at the dunes in Malibu in a crazy workout session.

Question is ... is this comeback training or is she just staying in shape?

Ronda is currently taping "Battle of the Network Stars" (she's one of the team leaders) and part of her job is navigating the obstacle course. We saw her run the course last week -- she looked pretty good.

But now, with the UFC legend running the insanely challenging dunes at Malibu ... ya gotta wonder if there's even the slightest chance she's trying to get back into fighting shape.

Tiger Woods told arresting officers he'd taken Xanax the night he was pulled over for DUI ... which has only now been revealed by an unredacted copy of the police report.

In previous police docs, Tiger had copped to 4 other meds -- Solarex, Vicodin, Torix and Vioxx ... which he said he hadn't taken this year. There was no mention of Xanax.

However, the new unredacted document -- first obtained by Golf Channel -- makes it clear ... when the officer asked Tiger if he'd taken any medication he stated Xanax.

It's unclear why that drug was initially concealed in the report, but it helps support Tiger's original statement in which he said he'd had "an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications."

There was no clear danger in combining the 4 drugs originally listed -- however, Vicodin and Xanax is a whole different story. The FDA warns combining Xanax with opiods can result in "profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma and death."

President Trump and James Comey's blood feud is just getting started, because POTUS says he's willing to shoot down the ex-FBI Director's testimony ... under oath.

The Prez held a news conference in the Rose Garden and, naturally, got peppered with questions about Comey. He insisted he NEVER demanded a loyalty oath from Comey ... and even further said, "Who would do that? I hardly know the man."

He also insinuated there very well might be recordings of his and Comey's convos ... and he might be willing to let them go public.

Gloria Allred, much like the postman, rings twice ... and it cost her a seat inside Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial.

Allred's phone rang in the middle of the trial Friday, just as it did Wednesday. She bolted from the court when it happened, but the damage was done. The judge has now banished her to an overflow room set up for public viewing of the proceedings.

Court officials tell TMZ ... if her phone rings in that room, she'll be permanently ejected from the courthouse altogether.

Gloria, who's repping some Cosby accusers (not Andrea Constand), caught a first-time offender break earlier in the week, but she's playing with fire now.

LeBron James says Cavs owner Dan Gilbert "completely bashed" him in that infamous 2010 letter about LBJ leaving for Miami ... and Bron says it was so disrespectful, it almost stopped him from returning to Cleveland in 2014.

LeBron opened up about the letter on Uninterrupted's "The Shop" -- which was shot during All Star Weekend but released Friday.

Gilbert's letter was loaded with insults -- even referring to LeBron as the "self-titled former King."

In the video, LeBron says Gilbert "completely bashed me and disrespected not only me as an individual but disrespected my name. And my name is not just myself, it's my wife, my kids, my grandfather, my mother, so many more people."

Bron goes on to say the letter was so hurtful, when the opportunity came to return to the Cavs in 2014, his family members were adamantly against it.

"My wife was like, 'f*ck that. I ain't with that' ... My mom was definitely like, 'f*ck that. We ain't going back.'"

But James ultimately says his return was about "the bigger picture" and wanted to be an inspiration to the people of The Land, despite his family's wishes.

Taylor Swift's not dropping the bad blood with Katy Perry because she decided to drop huge Spotify news at the exact moment Katy released her new album. Boom goes the dynamite.

It might be the pettiest move -- or just brilliant -- but Swift put her entire catalog of songs on Spotify and other streaming services Thursday night. It can't be coincidence Katy's "Witness" album also came out Thursday night. Right?

Seriously ... Taylor pulled her music from streaming sites in 2014, accusing them of not valuing her art. So, what changed and why now? Swift's camp says it's a thank-you to fans after her "1989" album sold over 10 million albums.

Her music will also appear on Amazon and Tidal now. Previously, it had only been available on Apple Music.

Katy Perry released "Swish Swish" a couple weeks ago ... which everyone took as her diss track response to "Bad Blood."

KP's move.

Ray Rice returned to the Baltimore Ravens this week -- not as a player, as a mentor -- giving advice to the team's rookies so they don't screw up like he did.

The 30-year-old ex-NFL running back has been on a speaking tour for years -- talking to college and pro athletes in the hopes of using his experience to steer people away from making bad decisions.

It's the 2nd year in a row Rice has given a talk to Ravens rookies -- last year he spoke about being professional and accountable, according to The Baltimore Sun.

It's further proof Rice and the Ravens have repaired the rift that was created after he was fired in 2014 for striking his then-fiancee in a casino elevator.

Accused NSA leaker Reality Winner wrote about Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda and torching the White House ... according to prosecutors.

Winner entered a not guilty plea Thursday to one count of "willful retention and transmission of national defense information." During the hearing, prosecutors said 2 notebooks were found in Winner's home, and in one of them she'd written ... "I want to burn the White House down."

On other pages she'd listed names of Taliban and al Qaeda leaders, bin Laden ... according to prosecutors. 25-year-old Winner is accused of leaking at least one classified NSA document to a media outlet.

Chicago Cubs star Addison Russell is strongly denying accusations of domestic violence against his wife ... calling the claims "false and hurtful" in a statement Thursday.

Melisa -- Russell's wife of 1 year -- posted a pic on Instagram Wednesday hinting the couple had split due to infidelity. Melisa's close friend went one step further, commenting Russell had "mentally and physically" abused his wife ... sparking an MLB investigation, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

But Russell is adamant he's done nothing wrong, saying “Any allegation I have abused my wife is false and hurtful. For the well-being of my family, I’ll have no no further comment.”
