Kandi Burruss I'm All For a NeNe Leakes Comeback
Kandi Burruss insists she's down for the return of NeNe Leakes on 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' ... even if NeNe's already cranking up the drama.
We got Kandi Thursday at LAX where she refused to clap back at NeNe. Remember, she talked some serious trash on anyone who doesn't want her back on the show.
Word is several cast members aren't thrilled about NeNe's season 10 comeback after a nearly 2-year hiatus. Kandi's clearly taking the high road -- for now -- even when it comes to choosing between NeNe and Kim Zolciak.

Lil Wayne & Birdman Toasting Cash Money in NOLA ... Separately, Of Course
Lil Wayne and Birdman will both be in New Orleans, just minutes away from each other as they both toast Cash Money Records -- but there's almost ZERO chance they'll cross paths.
Weezy and Birdman will be in NOLA -- where it's also NBA All-Star Weekend -- to celebrate Cash Money's 20th anniversary. Lil Wayne will be at Masquerade Nightclub, while Birdman's hitting up several venues that are mere blocks away ... including the House of Blues.
Our Cash Money sources say they'll both be showing love for their label, but Wayne's done way too much trash-talking to share a stage with Birdman.
Wayne will hook up with the Hot Boys though -- performing with Mannie Fresh, Turk and Juvenile. We're told Mannie plans to pull double duty, and rendezvous with Birdman too at a different club.
Drama ... like any family reunion.

Chris Brown I'm Going Back to Vegas, Baby! Buries Hatchet with Drai's
Chris Brown has his Las Vegas residency back at Drai's after the famous club banned him last year ... TMZ has learned.
A source connected to Drai's tells us Chris had a heart-to-heart recently with the management team and squashed their beef. We're told a mutual friend set up the meeting -- both sides wanted to move forward because there's a lot of money at stake.
Chris has been a huge draw at Drai's since starting a residency there in 2015.
We broke the story ... the relationship fell apart when Chris blasted Drai's last summer, accusing staffers of being racist, and it cost him the gig there.
A Drai's rep tells us, "We both value the relationship and look forward to having Chris back in front of his fans again." His first show is set for March 18 ... smack in the middle of March Madness and St. Patty's Day weekend.
Like we said ... a LOT of money.

Charles Oakley: I Don't Know If Dolan Is Racist ... But I've Heard Things
Charles Oakley says he will NOT definitively label James Dolan as a racist because he's never personally seen him do racist things ... but says he's heard rumblings "over and over."
Oakley says he's "heard stuff" about Dolan over the years -- but when TMZ Sports asked him bluntly if he thinks Dolan is a racist Oakley said, "I don't know because I don't know him. I never met him like that."
"You hear all that stuff but I don't know. I can't say yet ... If it is, it'll come out. But right now, we're still waiting to see."
Oakley also says he's NOT accepting Dolan's proposed truce saying he's still injured -- physically and emotionally -- after the big incident at Madison Square Garden.
Bottom line -- this ain't ending any time soon.

Charles Oakley: James Dolan Is the New Donald Sterling
Charles Oakley just compared Knicks owner James Dolan to disgraced ex-Clippers owner Donald Sterling -- but stopped short of calling him a full-blown racist.
Oakley was asked about Draymond Green's claim that Dolan has a "slave master mentality" -- and while Charles wouldn't definitely agree with the term ... he didn't say Green was wrong either.
Oakley sounded off on "SI Now" and said he predicts the Knicks "will end up the same way as the Clippers" -- clearly insinuating that Dolan will be run out of town a la Sterling.
Charles Oakley joined our @SInowLIVE today:
@SInow
'Do you consider James Dolan on that same level as a Donald Sterling?'
Oakley: 'Yes' pic.twitter.com/kPc294wqNp
When pressed if he thought Dolan was a racist, Oakley said, "He's on the level."
Of course, TMZ Sports broke the infamous audio of Sterling telling V. Stiviano not to bring black people to Clippers games ... even Magic Johnson.
He was subsequently banned from the NBA for life.

Conor McGregor I Wanna See Khloe Kardashian's 'Big Fat Ass'
Conor McGregor says he's fascinated with Khloe Kardashian's "big fat ass" ... and says he really wants to see it in person.
The UFC superstar sat down with GQ during a recent trip to L.A. and was asked what he was going to be doing while in town.
"Maybe I’ll search for Khloé's [Kardashian] big fat ass," Conor said.
"She’s been floating around Malibu. I don’t give a f*ck about them [the Kardashians]. I just like to see them in the flesh ... just see what the big fat asses on them look like."
When asked if he admired the Kardashian sisters, Conor said, "Admire? Never. What’s the saying? Never put the p*ssy on a pedestal, my friend. I just want to see it. I want to see them."
Don't worry, Conor also took some shots at Floyd Mayweather -- saying he will destroy the boxing legend if they ever actually fight.
"Honestly, my fist is bigger than his head. I sleep people. I put people unconscious. I’m stating facts. If I hit a man, his head is gonna go into the bleachers. You understand that?"
"If I crack that little head of his, it’s gonna go clean off his shoulder and up into the bleachers."

The Weeknd Dissing Bieber's Sex Game?
The Weeknd just took the ultimate shot at Justin Bieber's manhood by hinting he has way more game in the sack than JB ... or so it seems.
He dropped a verse on Toronto rapper Nav's new track, "Some Way" ... and fans are taking it as a diss track against his gf Selena Gomez's ex-bf. He sings about taking someone's chick, and there's this:
"I think your girl, think your girl, fell in love with me. She say my f*** and my tongue game a remedy."
Yeah, definitely a diss. Remember, Justin's been taking all the shots at Weeknd, but score 1 for Abel this time around.

Cris Carter On Terrell Owens Diss I'll Take the High Road
Cris Carter says he ain't holding a grudge against Terrell Owens over a pretty disrespectful comment the WR made last year ... telling TMZ Sports it's all water under the bridge.
T.O. made headlines back in 2016 when he was quoted saying Cris Carter "begged" his way into the Hall of Fame and suggested he'd never stoop to that level.
So, when we saw Cris out at Catch in L.A. Tuesday night we asked about the diss.
Cris not only takes the high road ... but also reminds us that whatever the tactic, HE'S IN THE HALL OF FAME!!!
Solid point.

Floyd Mayweather Gives McGregor Ultimatum for Megafight
Floyd Mayweather says he's not the reason for the hold-up on a superfight with Conor McGregor -- and is pointing the finger at the UFC.
"Listen, Conor McGregor, if you really want to get this fight done ... take care of your business with the UFC and then have your people get in touch with my people," Mayweather wrote.
For the record, Dana White has already offered terms -- $25 mil per fight plus a Pay-Per-View split. Floyd laughed it off and never countered.
As for Conor, he's in Vegas -- which he now calls "My City" -- despite the fact Floyd lives there.
The drama continues ...

Sofia Vergara Nick Loeb Has No Right to Embryos This War Needs to Stop
Sofia Vergara's firing back at her ex, Nick Loeb, for putting her through the legal ringer for more than 2 years over their embryos ... hoping to put an end to the ordeal once and for all.
Sofia's asking the court to officially block Nick from trying to take control of their embryos with the intention of bringing them to term without her consent ... according to legal docs she just filed.
She says Loeb voluntarily dismissed his case against her in December -- after waging legal war with her since 2014 -- to leave the door open to refile his case again. She insists it would just be a waste of time.
According to the docs ... Nick signed a contract about their frozen embryos originally in which his rights were clear -- he CANNOT bring the embryos to term without MUTUAL agreement.
In addition to an order, Sofia wants some money for her troubles.

Nick Cannon Yep, I'm Definitely Done At 'AGT'
Nick Cannon just dashed the hopes of NBC and 'AGT' ... because he made it clear there is NO chance he'll come back to the show.
Nick was at LAX Tuesday and showed firm resolve ... he's done with the show. As TMZ reported, Nick said he was leaving 'AGT' after NBC execs seriously discussed firing him for talking smack on the show and NBC on his Showtime comedy special.
Nick is unconcerned about the possibility of being sued although, as we reported ... the network likely has no interest in holding him to his contract if he's determined to leave.

Dana White On Conor vs. Floyd: 'There Is No Deal'
Dana White tells TMZ Sports plain and simple ... when it comes to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight, "There is no deal."
'America's Got Talent' 'AGT' Still Wants Nick But if He Wants Out He Can Go
"America's Got Talent" execs desperately want to keep Nick Cannon ... but if he really wants to walk, they likely won't hold him to his contract.
Production sources with knowledge of the situation tell us the show fires up next month, but honchos aren't scouting for new hosts ... at least not yet. They're hoping Nick has a change of heart.
If Nick holds firm, NBC likely won't sue him for breach of contract.
Our sources say Nick has been great to work with on 'AGT,' and the crew has become a family. There's reason to believe he's going through something emotional in his personal life and that may well be factoring into his decision.

Kenny Smith Adam Silver's the Real Hero ... In Oakley, Knicks Truce
Stop giving the credit to Michael Jordan -- the real hero in the Charles Oakley, Knicks truce is NBA Commish Adam Silver ... so says Kenny Smith.
In fact, Smith says Silver was nothing short of spectacular in his handling of NBA messes since the first day he took the job ... just look at Donald Sterling.
He makes a solid point -- but does the truce happen without MJ?

Charles Oakley UNBANNED By Knicks ... Welcome Back to MSG
THE BAN IS OVER!!
Charles Oakley is NO LONGER persona non grata at Madison Square Garden following a peace summit with Knicks owner, James Dolan, on Monday.
Oakley was blacklisted from the arena after he was arrested last Wednesday for getting physical with security.
A PR war ensued and things seemed to be spiraling out of control until Oakley agreed to meet with Dolan in a session moderated by Michael Jordan.
Things seemed to go well because Oakley is welcome back. We're guessing the two sides aren't exactly planning on getting a beer together any time soon, but it's a start.

Senator Marco Rubio Quit Whining, Hollywood Make this Country Work
Senator Marco Rubio is not into predicting Donald Trump's demise ... because he's actually fighting to make America function.
We got Rubio at Reagan National Airport Monday and the way he sees it ... he may disagree with President Trump on this and that, but he rolls up his sleeves every day and tries to keep things rolling.
As for Hollywood predicting Trump won't last 4 years ... it's clear Rubio thinks it's an unproductive exercise.
