GONNA RUN UP ON HIM

We're told Meek is insisting he wasn't talking about anyone in particular ... it was just a lyric.

We're told Meek is trying hard to stay on the straight and narrow because he's under a microscope in his probation violation case.

Meek might have considered ... a better idea would not be to threaten gunfire, even in a rap song.

Madonna Rocco Says Mom Treated Me Like a Trophy ... Not a Son

Published | Updated

Madonna's son didn't have to be sold by Guy Ritchie when the 15-year-old made the decision to stay in London ... we're told Rocco was fed up with the singer, her lifestyle and her parenting skills.

Sources who were on Madonna's tour tell us, Rocco was "miserable" being carted around the world by his mom. As one source put it, "There were horrible, full-blown fights with screaming and crying."

We're told during the Stockholm leg of the tour, Rocco was a no-show when the charter plane was ready to take off ... he had made an escape run, but it appears he eventually came back.

Things deteriorated during the London shows in December. Rocco told his dad he couldn't handle it anymore ... he couldn't take the traveling and the fights. Our sources say Rocco told Guy he felt like Madonna treated him more like a trophy than a son.

Rocco now thinks his mom is jealous of his dad's "stable life" and his desire to live with his dad.

Rocco has been ordered to return to NYC for a court hearing. It will be interesting to hear if his bad feelings dissipate and how much the judge considers his living preference.

Russell Crowe Flies Off Handle at Virgin Over Hoverboards

Published | Updated

Russell Crowe is an accomplished actor who is oblivious to one of the biggest safety stories circulating over the last week ... and apparently that's why he blasted Virgin Australia for putting the kibosh on his hoverboard holiday.

Russell was trying to board a Virgin jet with his kids when he was told hoverboards were banned. He seemed to get pissed off, tweeting, "Goodbye Virgin. Never again."

Virgin ... owned by Richard Branson, as big a celeb as Russell, fired back through his employees that it is well-documented in confirmation and check-in information that the boards are banned.

In case you didn't know ... there's a huge problem with lithium ion batteries which trigger fires that can bring down an airliner.

We got Rick at LAX Monday, and asked about the family rift over Nicky's wedding ... where Kyle's hubby Mauricio was persona non grata.

Rick told us Kyle's upset at Bravo ... so upset she's given notice. Fact is ... we're told Kyle has threatened to quit in the past.

We're getting a very different story from sources connected with "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," who say what this is really about is that Mauricio is now a competitor of Rick's in the real estate biz. As for Kyle, they say she's going nowhere.

Madonna Guy Ritchie Trash Talked Me to Rocco

Published | Updated

Guy Ritchie got in Rocco's ear and drove a wedge between Madonna and the 15-year-old ... sources close to Madonna tell TMZ.

We're told Guy and Madonna have had a "volatile" relationship for years, and Rocco has been a source of conflict. Madonna, we're told, is a strict disciplinarian and "very controlling" ... something that doesn't sit well with Rocco and for that matter most 15 year olds.

Our Madonna sources say Guy was angry at Madonna and used his visit with Rocco to stoke the coals, and it worked.

We're told Madonna isn't worried ... she's confident Rocco's coming back home for good, and this is just part of the co-parenting hand she's been dealt.

'RHOA' Star Peter Thomas Apollo Nida Needs To Man Up ... And Call Me

Published | Updated

'RHOA' star Peter Thomas says he didn't do anything to deserve the shade Apollo Nida threw at him from prison.

Apollo singled out Peter last Monday, calling him a "fake friend" on Instagram. It was pretty out of the blue ... Apollo's been radio silent since starting his 8 year sentence for fraud a year ago.

Sources close to Apollo tell us he became enraged after hearing Peter has been bad mouthing him, saying Apollo deserved his prison sentence for stealing and money laundering. Apollo feels betrayed by Peter, and is also upset he hasn't heard a peep from Peter since getting locked up.

Peter, who's married to Cynthia Bailey, tells us his number hasn't changed and he has no idea why Apollo would air his beef on social media instead of calling him from the slammer.

Peter says he's got a lot of friends in the big house and there's a drill ... they call you, because you can't call them. Peter could have sat down and penned a letter, but he says he's not much of a letter writer.

The way Peter put it to us, "If I am a fake friend because I don’t write a letter, then I’m a fake friend."

'Revenge Of The Nerds II' Star Sues Landlord for Insinuating He's a Pedophile

Published | Updated

'Revenge Of The Nerds II' star Barry Sobel is suing his landlord for dragging his name through the mud in a comment posted on YouTube.

Sobel had filed a lawsuit against his landlord for refusing to do repairs on his San Fran rental and sending him harassing texts, but he says things escalated when the landlord took things online.

The user name on the comment is different from the landlord's, but Sobel says they're one in the same.

Sobel has now filed a new lawsuit, claiming defamation. He wants more than a million bucks.

Michael Lohan Kate Major Files for Separation He Tried Sabotaging My Rehab

Published | Updated

Michael Lohan's estranged wife, Kate Major, has just filed for legal separation and claims Michael tried to torpedo her rehab with a cellphone and a teddy bear.

Kate says they've been separated since October, but she's now making it official. In her docs, she says she's been in rehab since early this month and he has been incessantly calling the facility to get in touch with her and get treatment updates.

She says on December 2, she got a package ... inside there was a teddy bear with a hidden phone inside and a note that read, "Please keep this between us only." She claims it came from Michael.

Michael Lohan says, "I never sent Kate any package. The papers say that she got the package from her friends, not me. The treatment center that she's in, sovereign health, is behind this because I'm suing them because the last time Kate was out there they permitted her to sneak into the male dorm and have sex with one of the other patients. Sovereign is behind this entire thing. What treatment centers allows more drama from clients who are in there to resolve indifference - This is the absolute wrong time for Kate and I to be butting heads. We should be on a united front for the sake of our children."

Rehab facilities typically ban patients from using cellphones and calling people on the outside.

In her separation docs, she's asking for legal custody of the kids, joint physical custody and spousal support. This will be a tough road, because both Kate and Michael lost custody of their 2 kids after a blowout fight in October.

Kate also wants the Maserati and the BMW.

Miss Universe Latina Contestants Unite Screw Miss Philippines!!!

Miss Universe now has a raging war on its hands ... between Latina contestants and Miss Philippines.

Sources who were backstage at Sunday's pageant tell TMZ, after Steve Harvey throned and quickly de-throned Miss Colombia ... Miss Puerto Rico, Miss Costa Rica, Miss Mexico and other Latina contestants swarmed Miss Colombia to console her.

The women were NOT blaming Steve Harvey, whom they said was gracious. They were squarely and tearfully blaming Miss Philippines for the embarrassment, although no one could coherently explain why the snafu was her fault.

Some of the Latina contestants were grousing backstage ... Miss Philippines did not deserve the crown. We're told most of them snubbed the winner, not congratulating her on the victory.

We're told there has been a fierce competition between Colombia and the Philippines in the pageant's history, and it certainly reared its head Sunday night.

Shanna Moakler, a former Miss USA and pageant honcho, told us on "TMZ Live" Monday the competition between Colombia and the Philippines is extremely fierce.
