Bow Wow Went Too Far 'Pimping' Melania ... Says Pal Sincere Show
One of Bow Wow's friends is breaking ranks, speaking out against him for threatening to pimp out Melania Trump.
We got Sincere Show, a former "Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood" star, Wednesday night at Nightingale Plaza, and he summed it up this way ... "Trump trippin' but Bow Wow trippin' too."
You'll recall ... Bow Wow came out strong in support of Snoop Dogg after Trump took a shot at Snoop for his controversial "Lavender" video. But Sincere says there's a line in any beef, and Bow Wow definitely crossed it with the Melania tweet.

Charles Barkley to LaVar Ball: You Sucked Then ... You Suck Now
Charles Barkley says LaVar Ball needs to come to terms with the fact he SUCKED at basketball ... and the idea he would beat Sir Chuck in 1-on-1 is straight-up delusional.
The NBA Hall of Famer was out in NYC when he responded to LaVar's claim that Chuck is a slow, Krispy Kreme eating fat boy who'd get WRECKED if they faced off on the court.
There's more smack talk ... Chuck throws some numbers around ... funny stuff.
The good news -- Barkley still really likes LaVar's son, Lonzo Ball, and thinks he should be the #1 overall pick in the NBA Draft.
But LaVar ... these two guys hate each other.

Real Housewives of Atlanta Negotiating with Bravo For Triumphant Return
Kim Zolciak and NeNe Leakes are deep in negotiations to return to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Sources close to production tell us Kim and NeNe both have offers on the table from Bravo for Season 10 this Fall, and we're told the network wants them as full-fledged cast members.
We're told both women are receptive, but there's a problem. Kim's got her own show on Bravo that just started filming ... and NeNe's shooting her own stuff.
We're told Bravo's willing to bend if necessary and hire them as part-time cast members, although that's not ideal.
We know both want a lot of money, and we don't know if the 2 sides are far apart.
Kim hasn't been a regular on 'Housewives' since season 5, and NeNe bailed after season 8. Members of the existing cast are not all down with the move, but they have no choice.
Welcome back, girls ... maybe.

T.I. is going to war with Donald Trump over Snoop Dogg -- blasting the prez with a legendary string of insults that would crush on "Wild 'N Out."
Tip is pissed about Trump calling out Snoop for his controversial music video ... where he pulled a fake gun on clown Trump. Just a taste of his anger: "u F***ing Tangerine Tanned Muskrat scrotum skin, Lacefront Possum fur Wig wearing, Alternative fact, Atomic Dog diarrhea face ass man!!!!"
It goes on, and arguably, gets way worse.

Donald Trump If Snoop Pointed Gun at Obama He'd Be Jailed!
Donald Trump just called out Snoop over his music video, saying if the person in clown face was President Obama, Mr. Dogg would be behind bars.
Trump just tweeted, "Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!"
We asked that very question to several rappers and politicians ... Ice-T, for e.g., thought doing the same thing to Obama would be worse. Senator Ted Cruz says whoever the president ... it's the same thing.

Frank Zappa Family War Dweezil vs. Ahmet and Diva
Dweezil Zappa's brother and sister are going after him, claiming he's ruining the Zappa name by spreading lies that tarnish their father's legacy.
Ahmet and Diva Zappa just filed legal docs asking a judge to let them start a website to counter Dweezil's claim they are trying to ruin his career by denying him the right to perform his Zappa Plays Zappa tour.
Dweezil has gone on a rant claiming Ahmet and Diva -- who now run Frank Zappa's estate -- have flat-out prohibited him from using ZPZ in concert.
Ahmet and Diva say in their docs ... Dweezil is full of it -- they have always given him the right to tour with Zappa Plays Zappa for the very reasonable price of $1.
They're especially upset with the mocking -- Dweezil's new tour name is "Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever the F@%k he wants: Cease and Desist Tour 2016."
Diva and Ahmet are also pissed off that Dweezil -- who they claim received many millions though life insurance -- was soliciting money from fans to cover his legal bills, but he took heat for it and then tweaked the wording to ask instead for donations so he could continue his music.
Frank Zappa died in 1993.
'Mob Wives' Star Karen Gravano Car Vandalized, Spray-Painted 'Rat' ... She Blames Drita
Karen Gravano got labeled as a RAT last week -- or at least her car did -- after someone spray-painted her Mercedes Benz and slashed her tires.
The former "Mob Wives" star fell victim to the vandalism last Wednesday and the vehicle was towed away from her home Thursday morning. As you can see, someone wrote RAT in giant orange letters.
We spoke to Karen, and she tells us all signs point to Drita D'Avanzo -- whom Karen had an epic beef with in the final season of the reality show last year.
Sounds like Karen's moved on from that feud, even if Drita hasn't. A rep for Drita wouldn't comment, except to say she wishes Karen and her team a successful year.
But, as for this latest swipe ... Karen and her camp seem to have a plan of action to deal with it.
NASCAR Kyle Busch Fights Joey Logano After Kobalt 400 Spin Out
Kyle Busch thought Joey Logano did him dirty during NASCAR's Kobalt 400 race ... so he went after the guy with fists after spinning out.
Busch rushed Logano and his crew on pit road Sunday after Logano appeared to have made Busch spin out in the race ... costing him a shot at victory.
You can see Busch stomping over like he's on a mission, and that's when Logano's pit crew got involved.
Busch left the rumble fuming with a bloody forehead. Clearly he doesn't like being cut off.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Senate Run a No-Go
Arnold Schwarzenegger has shot down a move inside the GOP to get the former California Guv to make a run for U.S. Senate.
Arnold just said, "I'm deeply flattered by all of the people who have approached me about running for Senate, but my mission right now is to bring sanity to Washington through redistricting reform like we passed here in California."
Schwarzenegger, the former "Celebrity Apprentice" host, and the former-former host, Donald Trump, have been going at each other for weeks, and a Schwarzenegger run would put Trump in an awkward position. The senator he would have run against, Dianne Feinstein, is a Democratic leader and strong opponent of the Prez.
The Senatorial election isn't for a year-and-a-half, so who knows ... things tend to change.

Floyd Mayweather I'll Un-Retire for Conor McGregor Just Ink the Deal Already!
Floyd Mayweather had made it loud and clear -- he's willing to step out of retirement to fight Conor McGregor ... if they can just hammer out a deal.
Floyd made the official announcement Saturday, saying "for Conor McGregor, I'm coming out of retirement ... just to fight Conor McGregor."
He added ... "I don't want to hear no more excuses about the money, about the UFC. Sign the paper with the UFC so you can fight me in June. Simple and plain. Let's fight in June. You're the B side, I'm the A side."
Here's the problem ... Dana White has already said the fight isn't likely to happen because negotiations are falling apart. They seem to be worlds apart on money ... and there's simply no deal as of February.
Floyd's been back and forth about being willing to fight Conor, but seems to be taking a firm position now ... he's willing if a deal can be struck.
Your move, Dana.
Chris Brown LAPD Says Time for Your Come-to-Jesus Moment
Chris Brown is about to get an invite ... from some top cops who are fed up with him.
Law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD division that covers his San Fernando Valley neighborhood has had it with all the complaints and Chris constantly thumbing his nose at cops and civilians alike. There has been a laundry list of gripes against the singer ... noise, drugs, assaults, riding various vehicles recklessly, and on and on.
We're told police want to make a last-ditch effort to get Chris in line. The brass at the division will ask him to come to the station so they can lay out the problems and see if he'll see the light.
As for why police are doing this ... as one source said, "Chris is a chronic problem who takes up a tremendous amount of our resources."
Chris has no obligation to come to the station for a chitchat. We reached out to his lawyer to find out if Chris would be open ... so far, no word back.

Nicki Minaj Fires Back at Remy 'What Type of Bum Bitch Shoot a friend over a Rack?'
Nicki Minaj put Remy Ma in her crosshairs and called her a failing, traitorous, lying bitch ... with a little help from Drake and Lil Wayne.
Nicki dropped 3 tracks, one of which is called "No Frauds" which begins, "You can't be Pablo if your work ain't sellin ... " Then it gets way more personal:
"Heard your pussy on yuck, I guess you needed a pap
What type of bum bitch shoot a friend over a rack?"
She goes on to proclaim diss track victory ...
"They say numbers don't matter but when they discussin' the kings
They turn around and say Lebron ain't got 6 rings"
It's super clear Nicki feels betrayed ...
"The bitch gambled on her career
Now it's gonna be severe"
Drake and Wayne don't go after Remy directly, but they sing Nicki's praises. We're told the tracks were recorded in January when the trio hooked up in a Miami studio -- but Nicki flew producers to meet her in Paris this week so she could add the diss lines.
Remy's diss track, "shETHER," was taken off SoundCloud Thursday.
Btw, Nicki doubled down on IG -- saying she'll give Remy a half a mil if she can book any show or interview without mentioning Nicki's name. Translation: You're irrelevant without me, bitch.

Nas No Beef with Remy Ma's 'ShETHER'
Nas had NOTHING to do with Remy Ma's diss track being yanked from the airwaves, and we're told the rapper's pointing the finger at one giant culprit -- Universal Music Publishing.
Sources connected to the rapper tell TMZ ... Nas has no beef with Remy using his beat to diss Nicki Minaj in "shETHER" ... and it was Universal -- which owns the song -- that made a stink after Remy jacked the beat, slapped it on her track and sold it without its permission.
Remy's label may have dropped the ball by not getting the all clear. The track's since been taken off SoundCloud and radio. Sources tell us Remy's been told she can't even perform the track.
We're told Universal sprung into action after "shETHER" hit No. 2 on iTunes ... though we checked and you can still download the track, but that could quickly change.
Nas sources are adamant the rapper would NEVER step into a blistering showdown. In fact ... Nas is a fan of battle raps and appreciates the culture. Nas, of course, had one of the most epic beefs with Jay Z.
As for Remy ... sources say "shETHER" might not see light of day again cause she didn't play on Universal's terms.
