Floyd Mayweather Rips Chrissy Teigen ... Back Off My Tiger!

Published | Updated

Floyd Mayweather is ANGRY that Chrissy Teigen would dare insult his decision to get a pet tiger -- and now he's lashing out at the supermodel over it.

After Mayweather revealed his new pet -- Teigen went to Twitter and wrote, "I'm okay with people having pet tigers because it increases their chances of being eaten by a tiger."

Well, Floyd no likey -- 'cause he just appeared on FightHype.com and fired off some not-so-subtle insults right back at her.

"John Legend's wife said something? I've never had anything negative to say about John Legend. I really don't even know what his wife does."

Ouch.

And then the worst insult a supermodel can get -- "I never seen John Legend's wife in my life. And if I did I probably just don't remember it."

Ouch again.

For the record, Mayweather promises he'll be responsible with his new pets -- "I'm not getting a tiger to let my tiger run around the city and bite people. We're trying to help save tigers."

Iggy Azalea Erykah Squashed Our Feud ... But Started New One with Her Kids

Published | Updated

Iggy Azalea's made a BIG change in her life -- she's taking the high road when it comes to Erykah Badu's shot about Iggy's music not being real hip-hop.

Iggy was in Bev Hills Tuesday night, when she thanked Erykah for apologizing for the diss at the Soul Train Awards. Iggy's got a history of heating up beefs -- see Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Britney Spears et al -- instead of squashing 'em ... so this is progress.

Iggy even offered concert tix to Erykah's 2 daughters, who inspired the apology in the first place. Of course, in true Badu fashion ... the apology turned into a new feud. This time between mom and her kids.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Nicki Minaj might have a fabulous birthday today, but it won't be because her ex-fiancee Safaree Samuels wished her one.

We got Safaree in NYC, where he was happy to talk about his new mixtape, his family ... probably even the weather. But when our photog Adam brought up Nicki's 33rd bday -- Safaree's tone changed.

Safaree did have a birthday greeting for someone other than Nicki.

It's been more than a year since their breakup, but Safaree's clearly not letting go ... of his bitterness.

Criss Angel My Ex Was a Girlfriend, NOT a Wife

Published | Updated

Criss Angel is aggressively going after his ex-girlfriend, saying she's trying to shake him down for a ton of money by claiming they essentially lived together as husband and wife.

Criss was in a relationship -- it appears for around 4 years -- with Sandra Gonzalez, with whom he got engaged to in 2011. Sandra is now threatening Criss with a palimony lawsuit, alleging they had an agreement that he would support her, just the way a financially successful spouse would support the other.

Criss, who has moved on and married another woman, had his lawyer fire off a letter to Sandra's lawyers, saying his relationship with Sandra was anything BUT hubby and wife. In fact, he says in the years he and Sandra were on and off, he publicly dated another woman.

The lawyer goes on to say Criss and Sandra kept things separate ... separate tax returns, separate bank accounts, and they never held themselves out as husband and wife.

He also says he was extremely generous with her, loaning her money for a failed business, buying her luxury cars, a nose job and taking her on fabulous vacations.

And in a final shot, the lawyers says his generosity allowed Sandra to put her "hostess career" on hold to pursue her dreams of starting a cosmetics business.

Charlie Sheen My Ex is Extorting Me ... She Wanted Unprotected Sex

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen says ex-fiancee Brett Rossi not only knew he was HIV positive, but insisted on having unprotected sex because she wanted them to be "like a normal couple."

Sheen claims Rossi is an extortionist who tried to squeeze millions of dollars from him by threatening to disclose his medical condition.

Charlie gets personal in his response to Rossi's emotional distress lawsuit, claiming as a porn star she's had "hundreds, if not thousands of sexual partners," and has exposed herself to STD's every time the camera rolls. Sheen says it's ridiculous for her to claim she got freaked out by his condition.

Sheen says Rossi wanted to have unprotected sex, and claimed she was a nurse and was seeing doctors who gave her anti-HIV meds.

He also flatly denies he was ever physically abusive to Rossi. And, he scoffs at her claim that he allegedly forced her to have an abortion.

HE DOESN'T SCARE ME ANYMORE

Former porn star Brett Rossi is done playing victim to Charlie Sheen.

Brett was leaving a Starbucks Thursday hours after filing her lawsuit against her ex-fiance for bullying her into getting an abortion while he was HIV positive.

The two had been engaged but called things off in October 2014 so it's interesting she's only coming after Charlie now, but she told a photog she's got good reason.

She's also got good news when it comes to her health.

The Game Cops Feared K.O. Victim ... Was About to Pull Drive-by Shooting

Published | Updated

Stitches, the rapper who tried to fight The Game, was stopped by off-duty cops before his confrontation with the rapper ... because they believed Stitches was going to do a drive-by shooting.

According to the Miami PD report, off-duty cops observed a white Porsche driving outside the club several times before the incident occurred. At one point, cops say they saw the car slow down in front of the club -- just as Game was exiting -- and roll down the windows "as if occupants were preparing to perform a drive-by."

When the off-duty officers stopped the vehicle, they say Stitches and his crew pushed past them and went to confront Game ... and that's when the fight broke out.

Police say they searched the vehicle later and no guns were reported found ... but a small amount of marijuana was. Stitches was booked for resisting an officer without violence, marijuana possession, and a couple of outstanding warrants.

Floyd Mayweather Rips De La Hoya The Drugs Messed With His Brain

Published | Updated
120315_mayweather_primary
THAT'S WHY HE'S A HATER

Floyd Mayweather says DRUGS are to blame for Oscar De La Hoya's recent attack on the boxer -- claiming Oscar must be screwed up in the head for picking such a public fight.

Mayweather appeared on DJ Whoo Kid's "The Whoolywood Shuffle" show and addressed De La Hoya's scathing letter to Floyd ... in which Oscar called him boring and said boxing is better off without him.

"I’m just saying the reason why he’s probably going after me it could be because of the drugs ... because of the jealously."

De La Hoya famously completed a stint in rehab in 2013 for drug and alcohol abuse -- and has admitted a problem with cocaine in the past.

But Mayweather clearly feels the drugs took a toll on Oscar -- insinuating that it messed with his brain so much, he clearly doesn't realize what he's doing.

For the record, De La Hoya has spoken publicly about his substance abuse and says he's all cleaned up.

Rick Ross to Adrien Broner: Don't Sweat Mayweather ... I Got Your Back

THE HITS JUST KEEP COMIN'

Rick Ross seems to be taking sides in the Floyd Mayweather vs. Adrien Broner beef -- partying with Broner in Miami this weekend ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

It's interesting ... considering Ross had MAJOR beef with Floyd in the past -- but they seemed to bury the hatchet a few years ago.

Now, with Broner and Mayweather seemingly at war ... Ross seemed to make a pretty statement by allowing Broner into his VIP section at LIV nightclub on Sunday, where he kicked it with DJ Khaled and Lil Wayne.

FYI -- the beef between Ross and Floyd was SUPER HEATED back in the day, with Ross dropping a major diss track ... saying things like "f**k Floyd Mayweather" and calling him another word for a cat.

Ross sent Floyd $10,000 worth of champagne before the Pacquiao fight -- leading many to think the feud was over -- but now that he's hanging with Broner ... should we expect a new diss track??

**WARNING -- DISS TRACK CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE**

Erykah Badu I Know Rappers, and ... You're No Rapper, Iggy Azalea!

Published | Updated

Just when Iggy Azalea thought it was safe to leave home ... Erykah Badu hit her with a ton of shade while hosting the Soul Train Awards.

Erykah opened the show by taking a slight shot at herself -- pointing out that hip-hop fans give her crap for making rappers "change gods and wear crochet hats" (see Andre 3000) ... but it was all a setup for this shot at Iggy.

Check it out ... the crowd loved it, but it'll be a while before Iggy sees the sun again. Just so much shade.

Joe Jonas Hitting Delete ... On Gigi & Zayn

Published | Updated

Joe Jonas just did the bro version of drowning your sorrows over an ex in a tub of ice cream -- he gave Gigi Hadid and her new man Zayn Malik the dreaded social media cold shoulder.

Guess Joe's seen enough, since he tapped the unfollow button on Gigi's IG over the holiday weekend -- right after Gigi and Zayn made their new romance pretty darn official.

The IG diss went further ... fans noticed Joe also deleted a photo of himself with Zayn and Kanye West he'd posted in June. The caption simply had read #squad.

Unsquading ... it's a thing now.

Kim Fields 'RHOA' Can Wait ... I Got Math Homework

Published | Updated

Kim Fields isn't making her new 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' gig a priority, according to co-workers who find her impossible to work with ... due to an inflated ego.

Sources on set tell us some of Kim's co-stars are livid she's been showing up late and leaving early for shoots. In one case, we're told she left Kandi Burruss' baby shower early -- during taping -- so she could help her kids do math homework.

Also, when they were filming in Jamaica, Kim showed up with her kids even though producers told the cast absolutely NO KIDS.

We're told Kim acts like she's better than everyone else, and still in her '80s heyday of 'Facts of Life.' Sources close to Kim say that's way off base, and she's a "consummate pro" who works with producers to ensure she meets her responsibilities to work and family. They also point out she shows up for every shoot on time and in good spirits.

But with other cast members feeling like Kim disrespects 'RHOA' rules and schedules ... we'd say there's a juicy chick fight brewing.

HE'S DONE WHEN HE SAYS HE'S DONE

Master P is OUT HIS DAMN MIND if he thinks he could take Kobe Bryant in 1-on-1 ... so says someone who would know, ex-NBA star Kenyon Martin.

The #1 pick of the 2000 NBA Draft was out in L.A. when he told us straight up -- Kobe is still a monster and would wreck P if they ever crossed paths on the court.

Martin says he respects P ... but when it comes to this situation, it's laughable.
