Nate Diaz 'Conor Got His Ass Beat'
Here's Nate Diaz stating facts about Conor McGregor at the UFC 200 news conference in Vegas ... and it's pretty damn hilarious.
Conor was a no-show at the event -- as he said he would be -- but still had a very strong presence at the event ... when he tweeted from his training camp in Iceland.
"Everyone flew in. Respect. But not everyone up there made the company 400 million in 8 months."
Nate was asked to respond to the tweet -- and gave the ultimate Nate Diaz response, "Conor got his ass beat."
Dana White also chimed in ... saying McGregor is officially out at UFC 200, just as TMZ Sports reported Thursday.
Still, Nate told the crowd the ONLY person he wants to fight at UFC 200 is Conor. We'll see what happens ...

Birdman Respect Me Or Else! Threatens 'Breakfast Club'
11:07 AM PT -- Sources tell TMZ Birdman has apologized to DJ Envy since the incident this morning.
Birdman came ready for war when he walked into a radio interview ... then dropped a bunch of threats on "The Breakfast Club" hosts before storming out of their studio.
It was a bizarre scene Friday morning -- the Cash Money CEO strolled in with at least 6 or 7 dudes, and immediately blurted out, "Stop playing with my f**king name!" He went on to tell Charlamagne tha God he was gonna handle their beef in the streets, but decided to do it face-to-face instead.
The backstory: Birdman's pissed Charlamagne, Angela Yee and DJ Envy and their guests clown him about not paying his artists ... a la Lil Wayne.
Check out the showdown ... Birdman ain't laughing and the scene was INTENSE.

Kim Kardashian I'm the U.N. Behind Kylie & Blac Chyna's Truce
Kylie Jenner and Blac Chyna's war came to an end when big sis Kim Kardashian stepped in to play peacemaker.
Sources close to Blac Chyna tell TMZ she got a call from Kim several weeks ago to hash out the drama over her and Rob Kardashian's engagement. Chyna obliged and went to Kim's pad for the sit-down.
We're told they both agreed there was no reason for family beef over Rob and Chyna getting hitched -- since the more important point was Rob being happy, and getting out of the house again.
The peace summit also covered Tyga -- y'know, the fact he's dating Kylie and is also Chyna's baby daddy. We're told Kim made it clear the time was right for the ladies to chat.
A few days later Kylie and Chyna talked on the phone, which led to Thursday's face-swapping Snapchat session -- and an agreement to squash all beef.
Kim K. Just like Jimmy Carter ... with way more ass.

Regis Philbin Disney Screwed Kelly Ripa
Regis Philbin still has Kelly Ripa's back ... he says his old co-host got the shaft in the whole Michael Strahan deal.
Regis spoke to photogs in NYC and made it clear Kelly should've gotten a heads up about Disney's plan to move Strahan from 'Live' to 'GMA.' It's an interesting perspective ... since Philbin famously told Kelly about HIS departure at the last minute.
Rege also gave us his 2 cents on who's gonna replace the guy who replaced him.

Kelly Ripa She Won't/Can't Leave 'Live' It's a Money Thing
Kelly Ripa may be saber-rattling -- boycotting the show and even threatening to leave -- but sources connected with the production don't believe she's going anywhere, because of her paycheck and her spending habits.
As we reported, Kelly has been beside herself with anger after getting blindsided by ABC's announcement that Michael Strahan is leaving 'Live' for 'GMA.' If she's not back in the chair Thursday, she won't be back until Tuesday at the earliest.
Our sources say ABC brass isn't worried that Ripa will bail on the show. We're told she makes just shy of $15 million a year, and her lifestyle eats up most of it. Kelly and hubby Mark bought a big townhouse on the Upper East Side of NYC a year ago, and they have a mansion in The Hamptons.
As one source put it, "She makes a lot of money, but she spends a lot of money, and so does he."

Kelly Ripa Emerges with War Book
Kelly Ripa is up for an epic fight with ABC ... at least that's what we're reading into what she's reading.
Kelly and hubby Mark Consuelos left their Upper East Side townhouse Thursday, as she clutched a copy of Malcolm Gladwell's book, 'David and Goliath.' The book -- which btw is outstanding -- is a primer on how underdogs took on the powerful and emerged victorious.
Kelly was a no-show for the second day on 'Live,' and she and Mark are going on vacation ... reportedly to Turks and Caicos.
The earliest she'll be back on the show is Tuesday, but don't count on it. She does not want to be near Michael Strahan.

Either way ... #ShotsFired

Kelly Ripa Ballistic Over Strahan Shocker
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 1 shares
Kelly Ripa is livid over Michael Strahan's departure from her show, largely because she was shockingly disrespected by Disney honchos.
TMZ broke the story ... Kelly was blindsided by Tuesday's announcement. She found out at 10:30 in the morning ... the same time Disney made the announcement. She never got a call from Disney CEO Bob Iger or anyone else at the Mouse House.
Our ABC sources say Kelly -- and virtually everyone on her show -- feels Disney has screamed to the world they don't care about 'Live' ... their singular focus is breathing life into 'GMA,' which has lost a big chunk of its audience over the last year.
We're told there's serious talk about giving 'Live' the boot at 9 AM and adding a third hour to 'GMA.' It's unclear if Disney is eyeing a time slot later in the morning for Kelly's show. It's pretty incredible, since 'Live' has been super successful on Kelly's watch.
Adding a 3rd hour to 'GMA' is the logical next move, since Strahan has established himself in the 9 AM time slot.
As for Kelly, it's unclear if Disney can ever win her back. It's not difficult to understand how pissed she is ... it's like the Ann Curry/NBC mess, but more outrageous.

NBA's Lou Williams 'God Bless LeSean McCoy' ... After Twitter Beef
You know when people in the South say, "Bless her heart" ... but they really mean it in a condescending, insulting way???
Yeah, that's kinda how Lakers player Lou Williams sounded when we asked him about his Twitter beef with LeSean McCoy.
FYI, the beef started after Kobe's finale ... when the NFL running back referred to Williams as "Soft ass Lou."
Lou replied by essentially telling LeSean, "Say it to my face." McCoy responded by accusing him of beating up women.
So, when we saw Williams at LAX -- we had to ask him about the issue.
"We don't do beef," Williams said ... adding, "God bless that young man."
Yeah, somehow that didn't feel genuine ...

Mohamed Hadid Lisa Vanderpump Is Dead To Me!!!
Lisa Vanderpump's calling BS on Mohamed Hadid's kids suffering from Lyme disease, and her accusation is having major repercussions for the 'Real Housewives' shoots.
Sources tell TMZ Lisa and Mohamed's 20 year friendship came to an abrupt end when Vanderpump, for the umpteenth time, asked about his kids, Bella and Anwar, and their Lyme disease. We're told Hadid was embarrassed because Lisa asked while taping at dinner with friends.
Sources close to the situation tell us Hadid will be cordial during shoots, but ANY attempt to renew the friendship -- even for the show -- is out of the question, as far as he's concerned.
We're told Lisa's husband, Ken, even tried to patch things up, but Hadid's not budging ... and hasn't even been to any of Lisa's 3 restaurants since the drama.
Lucky for him it's a big city.
Smush Parker I Didn't Diss Kobe On Twitter ... That Account Is Fake!!!
Kobe Bryant IS NOT under attack from Smush Parker ... it's an IMPOSTOR posing as the former Laker who's VERBALLY DESTROYING Mamba on Twitter ... Smush tells TMZ Sports.
Social media went crazy after @SmushParker -- an account thought to be SP's -- attacked KB hours before his final game ... saying, among other things, "F*** OUTTA HERE KOBE"
FYI -- Bryant and Parker have beefed for years ... with Kobe famously saying, "Smush Parker was the worst. He shouldn't have been in the NBA."
In other words, people weren't shocked -- just really entertained -- when Parker dissed Kobe.
Here's the twist ... we reached out to Smush, and he's adamant the account is NOT his ... telling us, "Its definitely not mines. I would love to have that account deactivated.”
So, all's peachy with Kobe? Eh, maybe not ... we asked Smush to reflect on the Mamba's career.
His answer, no comment.

Snoop Dogg Schwarzenegger's a Racist Piece of S***!
Snoop Dogg is hotter than fish grease at Arnold Schwarzenegger for his final act as the Governator ... shortening the sentence of a killer -- whose father was one of Arnold's political allies.
Just watch the video -- Snoop is absolutely seething, calling Arnold a "punk motherf******" and a "racist piece of s***." On Sunday, Esteban Nunez was released from prison -- 10 years early.
Nunez was convicted for manslaughter, but his father is Fabian Nunez ... who was the CA State Assembly speaker, and a close friend to Arnold. On the last day he was in office, Arnold shortened Esteban's sentence from 16 years to 7.
Snoop is pissed about what he sees as cronyism ... and because his friend Stanley "Tookie" Williams -- a famous leader of the Crips -- died by lethal injection in San Quentin Prison in 2005. Arnold refused to stay his execution.
This video is intense.
