Jay Z & Jim Jones Epic Beef Is Over ... JJ Signs with the Roc!
Jay Z and Jim Jones just put together the hip-hop deal they said would never happen -- Jim's now part of Jay's Roc Nation empire, which officially squashes a nearly 13 year beef.
Sources close to the "We Fly High" rapper tell us he signed Tuesday with Jay Z and his lieutenants, OG and Ty Ty, to manage all facets of Jim's brand ... music, fashion, acting and more.
Our sources say Jim decided to end the feud with Hova to show other rappers it's possible to cut through the drama, and just make smart business decisions. Pretty amazing truce, considering they've been at each other since JJ sided with Cam'ron over Jay in the 2004 break up of Roc-A-Fella Records.
Jim's repeatedly dissed the Roc and its owner -- while Jay's taken Jim's hits and turned them into diss tracks against him.
Now we're told it's same team, same goal ... ballin'!

Robin Thicke Spends Time with Son Again
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton seem to have called a temporary truce in their child custody war ... at least a partial one, because Robin just saw his son again.
We've learned Robin took 6-year-old Julian to Kids World Saturday in a suburb of L.A. It's significant because a court limited Robin to court monitored visits, in the wake of allegations he was physically abusive to the boy.
A court-appointed monitor was with the father and son at Kids World.
We're told Paula wants Julian to still have a relationship with his dad.
Robin has denied being physically abusive, and a super contentious series of court hearings are slated for this month and next.

Hours after Trump's Friday morning swipe at Arnold's record as California's Governor ... Arnold simply tweeted a link to an old article written when he was the Guv. The topic? Schwarzenegger releasing his income taxes.
It's pretty clear -- like millions of others -- he's not buying the IRS audit story.

Donald Trump Continues Schwarzenegger Attack He Also Failed as Governor
Donald Trump has doubled down on Arnold Schwarzenegger, not only trashing his performance on 'Celebrity Apprentice' but ripping him over his tenure as Governor of California.
Trump tweeted, "Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice ... but at least he tried hard!"
Trump's tweet follows the President's attack at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he told the group the movie star was failing as his TV successor, saying he was praying for the Gov.
Schwarzenegger followed up with an offer to trade places, so the country would not be riddled with anxiety.
It's unclear why Trump is on the attack. He gets a big cut of the profits if the show does well. True enough, Arnold ended up not supporting Trump in the election, but he followed a long list of Hollywood stars.

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."
By the way, Gordon is awesome in this clip -- he claps back at Jack Youngblood (who said the Chargers don't belong in L.A.) and even gives his friend, Jay Ajayi, a cameo.

Arnold to Trump Dude, Let's Trade Jobs
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."
Strange times.

Donald Trump Trashes Arnold Schwarzenegger 'Say a Prayer' for 'Apprentice' Ratings
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.
Trump did not address the fact that his ratings were slipping when he bowed out.

Nicki Minaj and Drake Call Truce Now That Meek's Gone
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."
