Celebrity Feuds

Goose Gossage still really, really, really doesn't like Bryce Harper and thinks he's a "punk" ... but good news, Bryce ... Gossage doesn't hate you as much as he did back in March!

If you remember ... Goosage threw all kinds of shade on Harper a few months back ... calling him a "fool" and claiming Bryce has no respect for the game.

So, when we ran into the Yankees legend out in NYC ... we wanted to know if he's cooled on Harper ... and could maybe one day see a future with the Nats star in pinstripes.

Answer ... maybe? Gossage semi-unloads on Harper, calling him a "punk" ... but has to admit, the kid's got skills on the baseball diamond.

Game dropped "92 Bars" Friday morning ... which possibly explains why he started going HAM on Meek Thursday night in a Miami nightclub, calling him out as a snitch.

Check out the song -- the reference to his "pool stick" and Nicki is an instant classic ... as diss tracks go, anyway. Game also reveals one of the 3 Kardashians he says he's banged. It's a little disappointing.

As we first reported, Game's entourage was the target of a drive-by shooting outside the Fontainebleau Hotel ... after the nightclub gig.

There's no evidence whatsoever connecting Meek to the shooting.

For what it's worth ... Game's old nemesis, Stiches, is now taking credit for it. Smart ... copping to a felony on social media.

James Woods says Colin Kaepernick is a "dirtbag" -- and he's so pissed at the NFL for not punishing the QB over his national anthem protest he's boycotting the league ... FOR LIFE!!

The divorce is officially underway ... 'cause Robert Griffin III has finally filed court docs looking to end his 3 year marriage to college sweetheart Rebecca Liddicoat.

Just last month, RG3 announced he had broken things off with Liddicoat -- the mother of their 1-year-old daughter -- and had moved onto a new lady ... Florida State track star Grete Sadeiko.

But now, we've confirmed the Cleveland Browns QB has filed the paperwork seeking to formally end his marriage. He filed on Sept. 7th in Texas.

Sources connected to the former couple tell us RG3 and Liddicoat are not on good terms -- and the divorce ain't gonna be pretty.

Robert doesn't seem phased -- he already got a tattoo of his new GF's name on his arm ... and has been posting love notes and couply pics of Grete on social media.

Kanye West ain't happy about Kid Cudi accusing him of not writing his own lyrics ... and it sparked a vicious rant during 'Ye's Tampa concert.

You gotta watch ... but some of the highlights include: "I birthed you!" ... "I got called names before you, bro!" ... "I wore skinny jeans first!" ... and of course, "Respect the God!"

Kanye was responding to Cudder's own rant on Twitter ... calling out him and Drake for not working with him and for having other people write their lyrics.

It was a shocking move from Cudi because he walked away from Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music. Also, because ... Meek Mill.

Lil Wayne will get every penny Birdman owes him, or else ... this according to powerful music honcho James Prince, who's jumping in to settle the longstanding beef.

Prince, the head of Rap-A-Lot Records, decided it was time to get involved when Wayne started talking about retiring due to the financial war with Cash Money. He tells TMZ, "Where [Wayne] is weak, I am strong. He has gained an ally, and together we will get back all money owed to him and my son off the Drake albums."

If you didn't know ... his son, Jas Prince, discovered Drake and set him up with Weezy and Young Money. James adds, "I witnessed the hard work that went into Drake's career and for Cash Money to try and take something that isn't theirs to take, does not sit well with me and family around the world."

Translation: We're putting the heat on Birdman to make things right with Wayne. Stat.

We're told the new alliance was hashed out last month backstage at Drake's D.C. show. You'll recall ... James also stepped in when Drake and Diddy were beefing -- delivering the now-infamous and menacing "courtesy call."

As we've reported ... Jas has his own beef with Cash Money -- so, it's clear the Prince family's decided there's strength in numbers when it comes to taking on Birdman.

Now we know why Wayne was bragging about his "family at Rap-A-Lot" always having his back ...

NFL superstar Terrell Suggs says his children are his world and he would NEVER neglect them or treat them poorly -- despite scathing allegations from his estranged wife.

TMZ Sports spoke with Terrell's rep, Denise White ... who says the claims made by Candace Suggs in a social media video are flat out untrue.

FYI, Candace -- who's in the middle of a nasty divorce with Terrell -- claimed the Baltimore Ravens star is refusing to pay for clothes for their 2 young kids and forces them to go to school without lunch money.

White tells TMZ Sports ... "Terrell takes magnificent care of his children. He is a caring and present father."

"We normally would not respond to such a rant by an ex clearly scorned."

"Terrell is disappointed that his ex would take to social media to try and paint a picture of him as a father who somehow does not take care of his children."

Birdman is tired of being the fall guy for Lil Wayne, and insists there's no way Cash Money can drop "Tha Carter V" ... because Weezy's the one holding the master recordings.

Sources connected to Birdman tell TMZ ... Wayne's threat to retire isn't sitting well with the Cash Money honcho, who says the narrative he's holding the now-mythical album hostage ... is total BS.

We're told Weezy has the physical recording, and refuses to fork it over -- so Birdman feels like his hands are tied. For Wayne's part, we're told he'd be happy to give up 'Carter V' ... AFTER they work out the money.

Translation: Cash first, music second.

We're also told Weezy will never leak it on the Internet because he ain't giving it up for free.

In Wayne's original lawsuit, he said he was owed an $8 million advance for the record, plus another $2 mil upon its completion. We're told that amount, plus a few more million -- for past Young Money album sales -- would be the best shot for the record to see the light of day.

Soooo ... we're saying there's still a chance, but it's gonna take a lot of zeros.

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are rich celebrities who feel they're above the law ... so claims the lawyer for the LAX employee who, for the umpteenth time, is trying to get them to sit for a deposition.

You'll recall the LAX employee, Ronaldo Owens, sued Halle and Olivier almost a year ago after Olivier used a baby's car seat to shove him ... and it was caught on video.

That altercation was the last straw that caused Halle to pull the plug on her marriage. The divorce has since stalled, and we're told neither Halle nor Olivier are currently interested in moving forward on the divorce, and she's even holding out hope he'll get his anger under control.

Owens' lawyer says he's tried 4 times to get Halle and Olivier to sit for a deposition but he says his efforts have been thwarted.

Halle and Olivier's lawyer says he's willing to produce his clients, but only if they get assurance Owens won't go blabbing to the media about what was said.

Owens' lawyer rails back, "In this country, litigants are not afforded special treatment because of who they are or who they think they are."

Owens wants the judge to order them to sit for a depo ... or else.

Lil Wayne is finally gonna tell the world if he really plans to make good on his threats to retire from music -- and it's all going down TODAY.

Weezy is all set to appear on "Undisputed" on FS1 -- where Skip Bayless will ask him straight-up if he's hanging up the mic for good ... as he hinted on social media earlier this month.

Of course, the legendary rapper has been at war with Birdman -- who he claims owes him millions of dollars and has been holding his never been released album, "Tha Carter V," hostage.

Wayne's been so pissed off over the situation, he's been following Drake from city to city -- where he's been jumping onstage and screaming, "F*** Cash Money."

But the real scare came when a clearly frustrated Weezy tweeted, "I am now defenseless and mentally defeated & I leave gracefully and thankful I luh my fanz but I'm dun."

Rap fans freaked out ... and huge stars begged him to reconsider ... and the next day, he sort of backpedaled.

But now we're finally gonna get our answer once and for all ... when Weezy sits down on "Undisputed" at 9:30 AM ET, 6:30 AM PT on Tuesday ... don't miss it.

Senator Ted Cruz is furious with Colin Kaepernick and other "rich spoiled athletes" protesting the National Anthem ... and is now calling for Americans to boycott them.

Cruz spoke out on Twitter -- after ex-NBA star Jalen Rose tweeted out a "salute" to "all NFL players & teams that peacefully did protests for change."

Cruz responded, "To all the athletes who have made millions in America's freedom: stop insulting our flag, our nation, our heroes."

Then the call for the boycott -- "Here's a peaceful protest: never buy another shoe, shirt, or jersey of rich spoiled athletes who dishonor our flag."

Of course, Kaepernick's protest has caught on with other players -- including Broncos' linebacker Brandon Marshall, Arian Foster and Kenny Stills. Other players raised a fist during the anthem including Marcus Peters and Martellus Bennett.

CM Punk's getting no love from the WWE -- with superstars Dolph Ziggler and The Miz mocking his UFC debut during Sunday night's "Backlash" PPV event.

The Miz played the role of Punk ... throwing a wild punch while Ziggler, playing Mickey Gall, took him down to the ground and proceeded to deliver a pounding like the one at UFC 203.

Kim Zolciak isn't sure why NeNe Leakes is telling people she's coming back to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' -- 'cause she's definitely not ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Kim tell us she has not shot anything for the show, and hasn't signed on to shoot either ... contrary to NeNe's statement.

Kim has her own show on Bravo, and we're told she doesn't see any point in returning to 'RHOA.' Funny enough, our Kim sources say her daughters, Brielle and Ariana, will actually make an appearance next season ... because they went to Sheree Whitfield's son's birthday.

Rick Fox has a message for anyone still hating on D'Angelo Russell for the Nick Young video -- GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!

We got Fox out at LAX and asked the former Lakers star what he thought about Russell still getting grief over the infamous Nick Young video ... the one that exposed his teammate cheating on Iggy Azalea.

Long story short ... everyone makes mistakes and it's officially time to give the 20-year-old a pass.

Nick seems to agree ... recently explaining, "I can't be mad forever."

Ted Cruz railed on Colin Kaepernick and while he was at it BLASTED President Obama.

We caught up with the senator at Reagan National Airport and asked him about Kaepernick's stand to kneel.

Check out the vid ... Ted wasn't having it. He unloaded on the 49ers QB, calling him rich and spoiled. And in true Republican fashion ... he saved some smack for the prez.

Keshia Knight Pulliam is accusing her estranged husband, Ed Hartwell, of not ponying up money he agreed to pay her ... now she's asking the court to find him and lock him up until she gets it.

Keshia claims she and the former NFLer signed an agreement shortly after he filed for divorce ... which required him to cut her a check. She says it never happened, despite repeated attempts to collect.

According to the docs ... the amount she's supposed to get is confidential, but she's so pissed she wants Ed behind bars.
