A-Rod Skips Derek Jeter Night ... Does Dinner with J Lo

Published | Updated

Alex Rodriguez was in NYC doing dinner with Jennifer Lopez ... while most of his old Yankees teammates were at Yankee Stadium honoring Derek Jeter.

A-Rod and J Lo stepped out Sunday evening heading to Nobu. They were dressed to the nines, but make no mistake ... this is a bad look for Alex.

Yankee greats gathered at the Stadium where Jeter's number 2 was retired. Alex was invited, but his publicist had said he wouldn't be able to make it because he was going to be in Miami celebrating Mother's Day.

The photo shows he was really just ... oh, about 8 miles south of Derek. We've reached out A-Rod's rep, but no word back yet.

First time in history choosing J Lo backfires?

7:30 AM PT -- A-Rod was indeed in Miami on Sunday. His rep says he spent the morning with family, including Mom. We're told he arrived in NYC after 6 PM -- he has to work there Monday -- and went straight to Jennifer's for the dinner.

For what it's worth ... the Jeter event went down around 7 PM.

Conan O'Brien Colbert Feud with Trump Not New ... But it's Damn Good TV!

Published | Updated

Conan O'Brien says Stephen Colbert and Donald Trump trading insults is a strong sign all's well with late night talk shows ... because the feud is what people want to see.

We got Conan at Whole Foods, and after he showed off his ass, he dished on the war of words between Colbert and the president. It's interesting, he doesn't really take sides ... but instead he explained why everyone involved is handling it exactly as they should.

Conan also reminds our photog what the main objective is of all late night talk shows -- it's not what you think. The guy knows what he's talking about ... he's been in the game damn near 25 years!

SHE DESERVES ALL THE LOVE

Jon Voight is patching things up with Angelina Jolie, and he took time to send her a warm Mother's Day greeting.

We got Jon Saturday night leaving Mastro's Steakhouse, when we asked about his Mother's Day plans he basically made a video greeting card for his daughter. Makes sense ... the longstanding tension between them's been cooling.

Jon had a sushi dinner with Angelina and 4 of his grandkids last week in Bev Hills. They were seen leaving out a back door within moments of each other.

Whatever the reason for the reunion -- Jon says he just wants to keep the love train rolling.

RHOA's Matt Jordan Fight Vid Proves Peter Had a Knife Peter Pleads Self-Defense

Published | Updated

Matt Jordan insists the only reason he didn't kick Peter Thomas' ass quicker is because Peter had a knife on him, and now that we've finally seen the video ... Matt might have a point.

Matt, ex-bf of 'RHOA' star Kenya Moore, tells us Peter pulled the knife out when he went at him. He claims Peter tried to hide it so it would seem like he was beating Matt fair and square.

When we called Peter, he admitted he had a box cutter on him because he owns a restaurant and night club. He says he only pulled it out in self-defense -- "If I was an idiot I would have sliced him, but I'm not. I wasn't there to fight with Matt."

When we slo-mo'd the video, you can clearly see the blade in Peter's hand during the struggle.

Matt, who'd previously made the knife claim, says he was focused on wrestling it away at first, but once he turned his attention to Peter ... he took him down easily. He adds, "Peter knows what it is."

Peter is pressing assault charges, but also feels he got the best of Matt ... as he bragged to us in March, right after the fight went down.

Treach Brings Tupac Onstage to Diss 'Bitch Ass' Funkmaster Flex

Published | Updated

Treach took a liquid shot for his homey, Tupac, then grabbed the mic, fired a verbal shot at Funkmaster Flex ... and invited his fans to join in on the diss.

Naughty by Nature performed Friday night in Worcester, MA ... and frontman Treach told the crowd he had to defend Pac against Flex. What happened next was almost like a prayer to 'Pac -- as Treach spoke directly to the left arm tattoo of his fallen friend.

We broke the story ... Treach dropped a violent diss track about Flex because he's pissed at the DJ for dragging Pac's name through the mud, claiming he got Biggie killed.

It wasn't all "Hip Hop Hooray" Friday night, and after he joined us on TMZ Live ... it was obvious Treach isn't letting this go.

James Woods Attacks Anderson Cooper With Crude Homophobic Remark

Published | Updated

James Woods went after Anderson Cooper with a brazenly homophobic tweet about Cooper's now infamous eye roll.

The actor posted a GIF of Anderson rolling his eyes during an interview with Kellyanne Conway a few days ago. He captioned it ... "As his butt plug dislodges during a newscast."

Woods makes no secret of it -- he's a staunch conservative and vocal supporter of President Trump. Clearly, he'd side with Conway over Cooper.

However ... this remark makes Colbert's "cock holster" comment about the prez seem tame.

LET IT GO

Miami Heat star Udonis Haslem says the 2008 Boston Celtics are a bunch of petty whiners who need to GET OVER their beef with Ray Allen ... and he's not mincing his words.

Of course, Allen famously left the Celtics after the '11-'12 season and joined up with the Miami Heat -- and guys like Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo are still upset he left without saying goodbye.

Haslem went on the "Joe Rose Show" on WQAM and said those guys need to grow up. He also took a moment to remind the guys the Miami Heat owned them during the height of the rivalry.

"You got your ass whooped with Ray and we got Ray and we whooped your ass again."

Stephen Colbert to Prez Trump Ha! YOU Want to Bring Up Ratings??

Published | Updated

Stephen Colbert is declaring victory in his feud with Donald Trump, saying it's pretty rich of the prez to bring up ratings ... when his approval numbers are in the toilet.

Colbert was more than happy to respond to Trump calling him a "no-talent guy." In his Thursday night monologue, he said, "I've been trying for a year to get you to say my name ... I won."

The host also addressed Trump saying he has a "filthy mouth" -- "I do occasionally use adult language, and I do it in public instead of the privacy of an 'Access Hollywood' bus." Ya walked right into that one, Mr. Commander-in-Chief.

Check out the rest of the skewering ... which covered ratings, Nixon and Alfred E. Neuman. Hysterical.

Treach Defends Tupac with Violent Diss Track Funkmaster Flex Is Banned!

Published | Updated

Tupac's name is being dragged through the mud according to his homie, Treach ... who got so pissed at DJ Funkmaster Flex he just dropped a diss track filled with violent threats.

The Naughty by Nature legend is on the attack after Flex claimed last week Tupac lied about his 1994 shooting because he knew Notorious B.I.G. had nothing to do with it. According to Flex, Biggie got shot 3 years later because 'Pac never told the truth.

Treach is enraged. Just a sample of his lyrics in "Whoooh":

"Death to his soul, his turntables and motherf***ing old stinkin' ass grandparents
'Cause they old asses had a orgy with Lucifer
Now you got a date with death from a Naughty n***a that's shootin' ya"

Treach tells us Flex is "banned worldwide" for disrespecting the dead, plus ... "Who the f**k is any DJ to talk about anybody who made your career by making hits for you to play? All you do is spin records, you dirty bag of ashy elbows!"

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF

President Donald Trump has some nerve calling Stephen Colbert a "no-talent guy" with a "filthy" mouth ... according to T.I. who says the prez has traded the White House for a glass one.

Tip had landed at LAX when he weighed in on Trump's comeback shot, after the late night host referred to him as "Vladimir Putin's cock holster."

T.I.'s clearly Team Colbert and recalls that, in his opinion, Trump's said worse. Plus, he thinks it's pretty obvious who's really benefitting from the beef.

Katherine Jackson Pays Thousands to Support Her Kids ... Trent Claims

Published | Updated

Katherine Jackson pays tens of thousands of dollars each month to cover her kids' expenses, so she shouldn't have a problem paying her nephew Trent's legal fees ... according to him.

Trent Jackson wants Katherine to cover the expenses he incurred while defending himself against her claims of elder abuse. In new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- he says Katherine told him she receives a $67,000 monthly stipend from Michael Jackson's estate, which she doles out to some of her kids to support them and their families.

In the docs, Trent says Katherine told him she gave $12,000/month to Jermaine Jackson ... $7,000/mo. to Rebbie Jackson ... $30,000/mo. to La Toya Jackson ... and $9,850/mo. toward a rental in Calabasas where Jermaine and Randy Jackson's kids stay.

That adds up to $58,850 ... almost all of her stipend.

Trent says in light of that kind of spending, Katherine can afford to pay his attorneys, Ron Rale and Philip Cohen, the more than $58,000 in fees for dragging him into court on a case that was ultimately thrown out. Btw, Trent still believes Katherine's kids coerced her into filing the case.

Donald Trump I'm with Rosie O'Donnell! When it Comes to Comey

Published | Updated

President Trump just jumped on Rosie O'Donnell's bandwagon -- and no, Hell is NOT freezing over ... as far as we know.

The prez apparently just realized Rosie tweeted 5 months ago that then-FBI Director James Comey should be fired. So, he tweeted Thursday, right at Rosie, "We finally agree on something Rosie."

Never mind that Rosie was calling for Comey's head because she blamed him for Hillary Clinton losing -- therefore putting Rosie's archenemy, Trump, in the White House.

Pretty sure Rosie won't be amused by Trump cozying up to her ... even sarcastically.

Bingo! Rosie just clarified her feelings on Comey, and called out Trump's "motives."

Donald Trump on Stephen Colbert 'No-Talent' Hack with 'Filthy' Mouth

President Donald Trump finally clapped back ... tearing Stephen Colbert a new one after the comedian's controversial takedown of the prez.

Trump says Colbert is a "no-talent guy" who has "nothing funny" to say and what he DOES say is "filthy." It's the first time Trump's addressed Colbert's monologue from last week ... which he punctuated with ... "The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's cock holster."

Trump told TIME magazine, "The guy was dying. By the way they were going to take him off television, then he started attacking me and he started doing better. But his show was dying."

Aaaand the ball's back in Colbert's court.

DC RIPS JONES

Daniel Cormier just UNLOADED on Jon Jones -- saying the guy is a loser of a human being who's completely delusional if he still considers himself the "real" UFC light heavyweight champ.

It's no secret these guys hate each other with a passion ... and now with the two possibly (hopefully!) facing off at UFC 214 in July, the smack talk is heating up again.

After Cormier blasted Jones on Twitter, JJ fired back, "Can someone tell DC he's a great guy and pat him on the back so we can move on already. #TheChampIsHere."

Cormier didn't take too kindly to it and WENT OFF on Jones when we saw him Wednesday afternoon -- telling TMZ Sports JJ is a bad person with a history of drugs, steroids and lying.

By the way, Cormier is set to do some announcing work at UFC 211 this weekend (and the post-fight show on FS1) ... but it's obvious he wants to do less talking and more fighting.

Paul Pierce Ray Allen Should've Called Before Bailing For Miami

Published | Updated

Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are finally opening up about their icy relationship with Ray Allen ... with both superstars admitting they aren't on speaking terms with their former Big 3 partner.

Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins and Glen "Big Baby" Davis joined K.G.'s "Area 21" segment to discuss their 2008 Celtics reunion vacation this summer ... and why Allen isn't a part of it.

The Truth says he was hurt by the way Allen left for Miami without discussing the decision with him first ... and admits he hasn't talked to the sharpshooter in years.

"I thought we formed a brotherhood here in Boston," Pierce says.

"I just felt like we should've had that conversation and it would've settled over a bit more. I don't think we would've been as salty."

K.G. calls it's a "sensitive" topic, but says, "I think that when we all talked about doing this reunion tour, we was talking about guys that we considered loyal and part of this group."

"Speaking out as my 2 cents, when Ray decided to go to the Heat, I felt like he moved on."

There's a lot of great input from the other guys as well -- except Rondo, who decides not to talk about it -- and their message was clearly heard ... 'cause Allen threw shade with a response of his own Tuesday morning.

'ANTM' Bello Sanchez My Roommate from Hell Threatened to Cry 'Rape'

Published | Updated

Former "America's Next Top Model" contestant Bello Sanchez thought he'd make some dough renting out his guest room, but says he's ended up with a nightmare roommate.

Bello says he rented the spare bedroom in his North Hollywood apartment to a woman named Shengyu Li who broke his furniture, and threw rotten food on his balcony and his cats.

Things got so bad he claims Shengyu even threatened to scream rape. He says he called cops after one of her outbursts, and they suggested Bello get a restraining order -- so he did.

Now, a judge has ordered Shengyu to stay 100 yards away from Bello and his car ... which creates an issue, since they're roommates. The judge said Bello will have to go through a different court to kick her out.
