Calvin Harris No Kanye Collab ... I Don't Need the Taylor Backlash

Published | Updated

Calvin Harris doesn't have any plans to collab with Kanye West because he knows that would play like a serious diss to Taylor Swift, which he's not trying to do ... TMZ has learned.

We spoke to sources on both sides who tell us Calvin and Kanye have not discussed making any music together, and although they have mutual respect ... they rarely speak at all. They're just not buds. There were reports Calvin wanted to record a track with 'Ye.

As for them EVER working together ... our Calvin sources say not right now because he wants to kill the narrative of being connected to Taylor. Translation: He's just done with all the drama around their breakup.

We're told during Calvin's brief run-in with Kim Kardashian at J Lo's birthday ... music, Taylor and Kanye were not discussed. It was more like pleasant salutations.

Nate Diaz Bieber Called For Truce in Nightclub 'I Don't Want No Problems!'

Published | Updated

Nate Diaz just gave the blow-by-blow on how Justin Bieber put an END to their famous celebrity beef back in March -- and the whole thing is pretty hilarious.

Of course, the two had gone back and forth on social media after the McGregor fight -- with Nate ultimately coming on the "TMZ Sports" show and saying, "F*** that fool."

As fate would have it, they came face-to-face in a Hollywood nightclub a few days later -- but Bieber's no dummy ... he immediately tried to bury the hatchet before things popped off.

You gotta hear Nate tell the story on "Conan" Tuesday night ... not only did they bro-hug it out, but they're boys now!

Johnny Depp Amber's Gonna Ruin My Credit

Published | Updated

Johnny Depp believes he can't get a fair shake in his courtroom showdown with Amber Heard until his lawyers grill her in a deposition -- and if that doesn't happen it could cost him dearly.

Depp's team was in court Tuesday for an emergency hearing to settle critical issues in the case. His side says Johnny has every right to confront Amber over her "meritless" accusations of domestic violence.

In docs, Depp says if he can't depose her he'll be behind the 8 ball in his effort to defend himself, and could lose the case. And there's this -- he's worried a loss could affect him emotionally and financially. He points out a permanent restraining order would appear on future credit checks.

Yes, even with an estimated net worth of $400 mil ... he's worried about credit.

As we reported ... Amber's depo has been delayed because they couldn't agree on a date, but the judge settled the matter. It's now scheduled for August 6 -- a Saturday.

Lindsay Lohan It's War with Egor Over My Topless Art

Published | Updated

Lindsay Lohan's fiance, Egor Tarabasov, moved out of their apartment Tuesday and she claims he tried to make off with some of her stuff.

As we previously reported ... LiLo skipped town Monday after their blowout, but we're told she had staff at the London pad when Egor and his mother returned for his things.

The staffers told Lindsay, Egor and Elena were trying to take her prized Marilyn Monroe pop art. The custom painting was done by street artist Pegasus and is based on Lindsay's 2012 Playboy shoot.

Lindsay's dad, Michael, fired off a series of scathing texts to Egor over the weekend ... and we're told he sent another today to Egor and his mother, accusing them of jacking the painting.

We've reached out to Egor multiple times, but still no reply.

Amber Heard to Johnny Depp Stop Stonewalling the Divorce

Published | Updated

Johnny Depp's making it damn near impossible to get the divorce settlement rolling because he's put up a bunch of roadblocks in the case ... according to Amber Heard.

In Amber's legal docs, obtained by TMZ, she accuses Johnny of refusing to hand over financial docs needed to settle the divorce case. As we've reported ... Depp's team wants her to sign a non-disclosure agreement before giving up the goods.

But in the docs, Amber says the non-disclosure agreement is ridiculous because it calls for a $100k fine each time his financial info is leaked -- not just by Amber, but even by her forensic accountant. Amber says it's an outrageous demand ... and just a ploy to thwart real progress in this case.

Of course, Johnny's team would say ... the fine won't matter if the agreement isn't violated.

The other issue -- setting a date for Amber's deposition. His side has proposed August 3 and 8, but Amber says she's scheduled to be in London working on "Justice League." She's offered to fly back on a Saturday, but she says Johnny's team isn't willing to work weekends.

Both sides are due in court Tuesday to hammer out the issues.

Lindsay Lohan Daddy Wants a Piece of Egor ... After Weekend Fight

Published | Updated

Lindsay Lohan's father fired off a series of angry, threatening text messages to her fiance on the heels of the couple's huge argument that had police rushing to their apartment.

TMZ obtained the texts Michael Lohan sent Egor Tarabasov late Saturday night -- and it's pretty clear he's already spoken to LiLo about the fight. Michael says, "You threaten my daughter, touch her or if anything happens to her and you will have no where to hide mother ducked like weasel."

The messages are filled with typos -- we're guessing his anger had taken over. Michael continues ... "VOME Here And Face ME like a man and bring your daddy and mommy."

As we reported -- neighbors called police after hearing Lindsay yelling outside their apartment, accusing Egor of strangling her.

Michael comes off like a Liam Neeson wannabe in the messages, adding ... "Return her jewelry you broke phoney or I'll take it out of your ass. I WILL find you."

Lindsay flew back to the States on Monday sans Egor. We've reached out to him for his side of the story, but he hasn't responded.

Florida Georgia Line We Love Cops, But We Have Our Own Security

Published | Updated

The guys from Florida Georgia Line want to make it clear they have total respect for men and women in blue -- but, respectfully, there's a good reason they didn't need their help backstage.

Sources close to FGL's Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard tell us security for all their concerts is handled through promoters at the venues. It's just part of their contracts for each gig.

We're told local cops regularly ask if they can help out backstage, and are usually told it's not necessary. FGL's team believes this frees up law enforcement for other security needs around the venue.

TMZ broke the story ... an Iowa sheriff was fuming after getting turned away backstage. Our FGL sources said that incident and one in Wisconsin are rarities, because most law enforcement welcome the fact the band is self-sufficient.

Bottom line, according to our sources -- Florida Georgia Line is extremely "pro-police."

PASS ON PUFF

50 Cent threw enough shade to keep Diddy cool for a few months when he begged a packed Scottsdale club to rattle off the Bad Boy honcho's last hit track.

Let's just say there were a lotta crickets inside INTL Nightclub over the weekend.

Someone does eventually offer up Diddy's "You Could Be My Lover" off his most recent "MMM" mixtape -- and Fiddy performed a mocking lip sync.

There's been beef between Fif and Diddy for more than a year now -- most of it one-sided as 50 keeps throwing social media jabs over music, their vodka lines, age, weight and just about everything else.

Diddy rarely responds, but once again ... ball's in his court.

Lindsay Lohan Flees London After Cops STORM Apt.

Published | Updated

Lindsay Lohan and fiance Egor Tarabasov got into such a heated argument, cops in London kicked down their apartment door to check on them -- and now she's leaving town ... alone.

LiLo left her home Monday morning and headed to Heathrow ... after a tumultuous weekend. Officers responded to a call early Saturday morning to "a woman in distress" at Lindsay and Egor's pad. Scotland Yard tells us ... once cops got inside they say there was no one there -- but they eventually tracked down the couple, and determined both were safe.

No arrests were made, but our Lindsay sources tell us things have been bad. We're told she's telling friends the relationship is violent at times.

While Lindsay headed to the airport alone, it's interesting to note she's still wearing her giant emerald engagement ring. She also used a shirt with an E.E. Cummings poem on it for cover from photogs.

Very artsy exit.

Calvin Harris Poses with Kim K in Vegas ... aka 'Screw You, Taylor!'

Published | Updated

Well, ain't this the icing on the cake for Taylor Swift -- 2 of her biggest enemies (currently) coming together in one photo ... and Calvin Harris' smirk says it all.

So, Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 47th birthday last night at Caesar's Palace in Vegas ... and Kim Kardashian was there to help present her cake. Calvin was there partying, and he had to know how this pose would go over with Swift.

Calvin and Kim reportedly chatted during the party -- no doubt Taylor's name came up once or twice on the heels of her "Famous" feud with Kanye ... and her "This Is What You Came For" feud with her ex.

French Montana, Iggy Azalea and Cristiano Ronaldo were also there -- but no sign of John Mayer, Jake Gylenhaal or Harry Styles ... 'cause that would've been awesome.

Ciara Future's Trash Talk Cost Me $500k

Published | Updated

Ciara got screwed out of half a million bucks thanks to Future's trash talking ... so claims the singer.

Ciara says her baby daddy's barrage of tweets and interviews disparaging her scared away an international cosmetics company she thinks would have paid her $500k ... this according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

You'll recall ... Ciara slapped Future with a defamation lawsuit back in February after he blasted her on social media with tweets like, "This bitch got control problems ... I gotta go through lawyers to see baby future ... the f***ery for 15k a month."

Ciara says all that trash talk has undermined her "positive reputation" and sullied her as "controlling, dishonest, malicious, unreasonable, evil, conniving" and bad parent which made the cosmetic co. run for the hills.

Ted Cruz hasn't settled on who's getting his vote, and maybe that's why he told our photog he'll be on a couch in front of a TV watching Donald Trump's acceptance speech.

Our photog got Cruz at the Cleveland airport, beating a hasty retreat after Wednesday night's speech.

We also asked Cruz ... by going back on his word to support the nominee, has he earned the name "Lyin' Ted?"

Scottie Pippen & Shaq The Beef Is Over ... NBA Legends Hug It Out in Vegas

Published | Updated

One year -- to the day -- that Shaq and Scottie Pippen were blasting each other in a surprisingly aggressive cyber-fight ... the two have buried the hatchet ... and Pippen posted a pic to prove it.

Remember, the two got into it bad last year -- with Shaq essentially telling Scottie that he rode Michael Jordan's coattails during the Bulls championship run back in the '90s.

Pippen responded by insulting Shaq's shooting ability -- so Shaq called him a "bum," a woman and the "Mase" to MJ's "Puffy."

But time apparently heals all wounds ... 'cause the two ran into each other in Vegas -- and were all smiles.

In fact, Pippen posted the pic with a caption that PRAISED O'Neal -- calling him "one of the greatest, most dominant big men of all-time."

The guy Leslie Jones blamed for sparking a wave of hatred against her absolutely deserves to be silenced because even the First Amendment has limits ... according to Kristen Schaal.

The 'Last Man on Earth' star came out firmly on Leslie's side in her nasty battle with Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos. While many think Twitter went too far in deleting his account after Leslie was inundated by racist trolling -- Kristen says the guy went "over the top" and deserves what he got.

Outside the Pantages Theatre in L.A. ... Kristen also tried to encourage Leslie to screw the haters, and get back on Twitter.

Justin Bieber Calls BS on Egging Victims' Ongoing Mental Distress

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber isn't buying his ex-neighbor's claim he and his wife are STILL suffering all kinds of medical issues related to the infamous egging incident, from more than 2 YEARS ago.

Bieber says in new court docs he wants Jeffrey and Suzanne Schwartz to submit to mental evaluations next month to determine if their claims of ongoing emotional distress are legit.

Jeff and Sue say they have a bunch of issues -- headaches, stomachaches and insomnia ... all due to Bieber's unrelenting bad behavior while he lived next to them in Calabasas ... including the barrage of eggs.

The Schwartzes say their real-life "Neighbors" disaster puts Seth Rogen's flick to shame ... but Justin's legal team is totally skeptical.

The judge hasn't ruled on the doctor request.

Johnny Depp I Won't Give Amber My Financials Till She Shuts Her Trap

Published | Updated

Amber Heard leaks like a sieve, at least when it comes to yapping to the media, so claims Johnny Depp, who does not want to give her any of his financial info unless she swears to keep it private.

Johnny just filed legal docs, obtained by TMZ, in which he concedes Amber is entitled to know something about his financial situation in order to get her cut in their divorce, but he says she has refused to sign a confidentiality agreement.

In the docs Johnny's lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, claims Amber and her team have been blabbing to the media, suggesting that a TMZ story about details in their settlement negotiations came from Amber's camp.

Johnny also has a problem with the scope of Amber's demands for financial docs. She's asking for records from Johnny's Hollywood Vampire bandmates -- Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum -- which he says is absurd.
