Celebrity Feuds

Only ONE running back can be the true king of L.A. ... and Chargers' Melvin Gordon says he's ready to do battle with Rams star Todd Gurley.

The L.A. Chargers running back says he's got nothing but respect for Gurley -- but it's clear in the clip, he wants to be known as #1.

Gurley made the Pro Bowl last year. Gordon made the Pro Bowl this year.

So, who's got the advantage?

"We'll figure it out next year," Gordon says ... "Ain't no more talkin'. We'll let the work do the talk."

Arnold Schwarzenegger just fired back at Donald Trump, telling the president if he's so obsessed with ratings, why not just do a switcheroo and go back to what appears to be his true passion?

Arnold just blasted Trump for blasting him at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday. Trump asked everyone to take a moment and pray for the movie star because his ratings, according to Trump, are a "disaster."

Arnold's people just added, "Arnold is praying that President Trump can start improving his own approval ratings, which were the worst in history for an incoming President, by taking his job seriously and working inclusively."

Donald Trump just cut off his nose to spite his face by calling out Arnold Schwarzenegger and the show which supposedly lines the president's pockets with money.

Trump was at the National Prayer Breakfast in D.C. Thursday when he took aim at the show he helped create like a heat-seeking missile, saying the ratings "went right down the tubes."

He then told the prayer-friendly group to say one for the movie star. He also took a shot at his co-creator, Mark Burnett, who came out toward the end of the campaign and said he did not support Trump.

Le'Veon Bell says he doesn't care that Skip Bayless thinks Ezekiel Elliott is a better RB ... he's PISSED that Bayless doesn't think they're in the same class ... and he's firing ANOTHER shot at the FS1 host.

Bell dropped a diss track called "Shrimp Bayless" earlier this week -- and Skip responded on his show, "Undisputed" ... vowing to get Lil Wayne to help him with a rap retaliation.

But Le'Veon -- who's the most patient running back in the league -- says he ain't waiting around and went right back after Skip when we saw him in Houston Wednesday night.

He even dropped a freestyle diss right on the street -- and while the beat our photog tried to provide definitely wasn't good ... Le'Veon makes his point loud and clear.

Charles Barkley is firing back at all the people 'hating' on him -- with a big ol' "F**K YOU!"

Sir Chuck took over the DJ booth at the Koo Koo Room in Atlanta on Tuesday -- right in the thick of his verbal war with LeBron James -- and sent a message that seemed to be directed at the NBA star.

"This is for all you f**king haters out there," Barkley said while cueing up a song ... "For all you f**king haters, F**K Y'ALL!"

Senator Joe Manchin is a Democrat who is definitely not down with torpedoing Judge Neil Gorsuch as the nom for SCOTUS.

We got the Senator at the Capital doing a quick meet and greet with Trump's pick.

The Dems are threatening to do unto Trump what the Republicans did to Obama's failed pick for Supreme Court ... not even give him a hearing.

L.A. Rams legend Jack Youngblood has a message for the other NFL team in town -- GIT!!!

The Hall of Famer just touched down in Houston when we asked about business back on the West Coast -- specifically if L.A. is big enough for both the Rams and the Chargers.

The answer -- HELL NO.

Nicki Minaj and Drake have ended the cold war that lasted more than 2 years.

Nicki posted a photo of herself and Drake Wednesday morning ... with no caption, but we know what went down before they squashed the beef.

Our Young Money sources tell us Drake saw an NFL Network segment on January 8 that featured Lil Wayne and Nicki. Drake immediately called label honcho Mack Maine, and said ... "Why didn't you tell me the family is back?"

Mack quickly set up a meeting for the full Young Money roster that turned into a peace summit. We're told Drake hopped on a jet to Miami on January 12, and sat down with Nicki and Wayne. The photo she posted was taken during that meeting.

Remember ... Drake and Nicki haven't spoken since they recorded "Truffle Butter" in 2014. She purposely stayed on the sidelines during his beef with then bf Meek Mill. Nicki announced their split on Jan. 5 -- one week later she was chopping it up with Drake, and we're told everything's cool between the labelmates now.

As Drake said, "I don't wanna hear about this ever again. Not even when she tell him they're better as friends."

Charles Barkley is finally responding to LeBron James' scathing media attack -- thanking the NBA star for "Googling me" ... and saying he's not mad because he's not a 12-year-old kid.

Barkley went on the "Waddle and Silvy" radio show on ESPN 1000 and said he has "no problem" with LeBron for bringing up his checkered past ... but claims James has some of his facts wrong.

Specifically, Barkley says Bron's claims that Charles is drowning in gambling debts is simply not true. He also says he was never late to an NBA All-Star game.

He did acknowledge some of LeBron's claims were true -- but didn't get specific beyond that.

Jason Hoppy screamed, "I will destroy you" at Bethenny Frankel outside their daughter's school ... prompting NYPD to bust him for harassing and stalking her.

Bethenny's ex allegedly went off on her earlier this month at 6-year-old Bryn's school in Manhattan. According to police, Bethenny reported the incident on January 17 ... and also told police Hoppy was bombarding her with hundreds of abusive emails, phone and FaceTime calls.

According to the complaint ... Hoppy approached Bethenny and her boyfriend that morning and said, "There's nothing you can do to stop me. You'll be sorry. You've been warned ... she's pure evil."

Cops arrested him Friday afternoon at his NYC apartment.

According to the NYPost, she said Hoppy has been on the warpath since November.

Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao?

Tito Ortiz says it doesn't matter ... 'cause Conor McGregor would get his ass kicked by either guy in a boxing match.

The Huntington Beach Bad Boy was at ArcLight Hollywood for the "John Wick: Chapter 2" premiere when he told us straight-up ... MMA fighters don't stand a chance against boxers in a BOXING MATCH!

Dr. Luke is FURIOUS after finding out Kesha texted Lady Gaga alleging he raped another artist ... and now he's fighting back.

Dr. Luke filed docs asking a judge to let him add a defamation claim in his legal war with Kesha after he says his team found out she texted Gaga alleging there's another rape victim.

In the docs, Dr. Luke says the text is proof Kesha's on a "malicious campaign to destroy" his reputation and career. To be clear, the texts in question don't specifically name Dr. Luke but he believes the insinuation is far too clear.

LeBron James WENT OFF on Charles Barkley last night ... blasting the NBA legend as a "hater" with a violent, sketchy and downright shameful past.

James was speaking with ESPN after the Cavs lost to the Mavs on Monday and was asked about Barkley's recent criticism of his leadership.

"He's a hater," LeBron said ... "What makes what he says credible? Because he's on TV?"

Then he REALLY went in.

"I'm not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that," James said.

"I'm not the one who threw somebody through a window. I never spit on a kid. I never had unpaid debt in Las Vegas. I never said, 'I'm not a role model.' I never showed up to All-Star Weekend on Sunday because I was in Vegas all weekend partying."

"All I've done for my entire career is represent the NBA the right way. Fourteen years, never got in trouble. Respected the game. Print that."

Soulja Boy's stepping up to the heavyweight ranks for his fight with Chris Brown -- he's got Evander Holyfield training him now, instead of Floyd Mayweather.

Soulja's promoter, Wack 100, tells us he reached out to the ex-champ and hooked them up on the phone. He says Soulja pitched himself to Evander ... convincing him he's serious about the boxing match with Chris.

We're told Soulja did a lot of talking about "knocking out" Chris, but Evander gave him a quick tip: train harder, talk less. He also assured the skinny singer he can get him into true knockout form. Of course, the nemesis of Evander's ears -- Mike Tyson -- is training Chris, but we're told his name didn't come up during the initial convo.

As for why Floyd is out ... Soulja felt like he was too busy with other interests. We're told there's no hard feelings, just business.

Tom Brady's father is getting the muzzle -- with the Patriots QB saying he's giving his dad a media time-out after Papa Brady bashed Roger Goodell in a local news interview.

Brady just called in to 'Kirk & Callahan' on WEEI 93.7 and weighed in on Tom Sr.'s straight talk interview with KRON-TV ... in which he blasted DeflateGate as a "witch hunt."

During the interview, Tom's dad said, "Somebody that has Roger Goodell’s ethics doesn’t belong on any stage that Tom Brady is on." There was more, it's clear the Brady family ain't fans of the Commish.

So, how did Tom feel about the situation? He tried to play it cool and jokingly said his father was banned from all media interviews ... and then talked about how much he loves the guy.

If Conor McGregor wants Pacquiao ... Manny's promoter says it's as good as done!!!

Here's the deal ... Conor raised the idea of fighting PacMan during his Pay-Per-View Q&A session over the weekend while being pressed on the possibility of fighting Floyd Mayweather.

"Maybe f*ck Floyd," McGregor said ... "Maybe f*ck the A-side. Maybe I’ll just fight Pacquiao instead. Why not do that? Why not fight Manny and f*ck Floyd?”

So, we spoke with Manny's longtime promoter, Bob Arum, who said he'll do WHATEVER IT TAKES to make that fight happen.

Mostly because it's easy money ... with Arum saying Manny would KO Conor without even breaking a sweat.
