Tom Selleck Tell Shaq I Would Dominate Him ... In a Free Throw Contest
It's "The 'Stache" vs. "The Diesel" ... Magnum P.I. vs. Kazaam ... old guy vs. older guy ... 'cause Tom Selleck is calling out Shaq ... telling TMZ Sports he'd crush the big fella in a free throw contest.
Tom was at LAX when our camera guy asked the former USC basketball player who would win if he took on Shaq Daddy in a battle from the charity stripe.
Check out the vid -- when he realizes we're just talking about a free throw shooting competition, Tom TOTALLY calls out O'Neal, not only saying he'd win ... but telling us to tell Shaq he's calling him out.
For the record -- Tom scored only 4 total points for USC, but Shaq missed over 5,000 free throws during his NBA career, so I guess we're saying ...
It's a toss up.
50 Cent Folds Like Cheap Suit After Fat Shaming
50 Cent crossed the line, and he knows it ... retreating big time after taking a shot at Diddy and his competing vodka ... at the expense of an overweight woman.
50 is now endorsing EFFEN Vodka and decided the best way to promote his brand was to go after the competition ... Diddy and Ciroc. But the way he did it was super offensive, posting a photo of Diddy grinding up against a large woman ... equating Ciroc with banging large chicks.
It didn't take long for people to go on the attack, and 50 just waived the white flag by pulling down the post and pretending it never happened.
So much for his EFFEN cheap shot.

Iggy Azalea Fires Back At Eminem I'm 'Bored' Of Your Rape Threats
Iggy Azalea is beefing with ANOTHER huge rapper -- blasting Eminem for saying he's going to rape her in a new rap song.
Em went after Azalea in a track called "Vegas" from his upcoming album ... saying:
"So, what’s it gon’ be?
Put that sh-t away, Iggy
You gon’ blow that rape whistle on me ... scream!"
Clearly, Iggy wasn't too happy about the lyrics and fired back on Twitter:
"Im bored of the old men threatening young women as entertainment trend and much more interested in the young women getting $ trend. zzzz"
She continued, "Its especially akward because my 14 year old brother is the biggest eminem fan and now the artist he admired says he wants to rape me. nice!"
"Women in music have the bigger balls anyhow we endure much more harassment and critic."
It's interesting ... considering Iggy just wrapped up another huge rap war with Snoop ... who called her a "b*tch" and a "c**t."
Snoop eventually apologized. So far, Eminem has yet to respond to Iggy's comments.

'Bachelor' Creator Criminally Charged With Disturbing 'Baywatch' Star's Peace
"The Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss has been criminally charged for harassing "Baywatch" star David Charvet and his famous wife Brooke Burke ... an arrest warrant was issued, and it has to do with fake barking dogs.
The L.A. County D.A. has charged Fleiss with the crime of disturbing the peace by loud noise. As we previously reported ... Charvet and Burke complained Fleiss initiated a campaign of terror and harassment against them, making physical threats and blaring barking dog sounds at all hours from huge speakers pointing at their property.
We're told Fleiss -- who also produced "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" -- was uncooperative with police during the investigation.
Charvet and Burke tried unsuccessfully last month to get a restraining order but, presumably, the arrest should do the trick.
We reached out to Mike ... so far no word back.

Aries Spears I Hate Kobe Bryant ... He's No Michael Jordan
So, probably safe to assume Aries Spears won't be getting a Christmas card from Kobe Bryant this year ... because the former "MadTV" star says he HATES the Mamba (and all things Lakers) with a passion.
"I'm the biggest Laker hater in the world," Spears told us at LAX yesterday. "I don't like Kobe."
There's more ... Spears says Bryant doesn't have a shot to win another championship during his career ... which is why Michael Jordan will always be considered the greatest of all time.
"As long as Michael Jordan is breathing, he's got that spot locked ... SIX, BABY!"
BTW, this isn't the first time Spears has taken a shot at Kobe -- check out what he did on "MadTV" back in the day ...
'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Benzino Fired After Alleged Death Threats
Death threats from "Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Benzino triggered his firing ... so claims Stevie J, but the guy who got the boot says it's a crock.
TMZ broke the story ... Benzino got the ax right after the brawl on the reunion taping, which sent people to the hospital and resulted in criminal charges filed against Joseline Hernandez.
Stevie J tells TMZ ... Benzino wouldn't let it go ... he went on a campaign of terror, threatening the lives of him and Joseline, producers and other staffers. Stevie tells us, "He said flat out he was going to kill us."
The threats were too much for VH1 and we're told that's why Benzino was banished.
But Benzino tells us, "Stevie J is a habitual liar and VH1 has never given me a reason for being fired."
Benzino thinks this is all about star power and he's the scapegoat because "They wanted to keep the crackhead whore."

Jay Z Front and Center At Solange's Wedding White Party
Jay Z showed up to Solange's wedding Sunday in New Orleans breaking a cardinal rule ... but in this case there's an exception.
Hova and Beyonce arrived hours before the nuptials and Jay dressed to the nines in a fancy white tux.
Wearing white to someone else's wedding is normally frowned upon ... the whole upstaging the bride thing. But when you look at the photos it appears the ceremony has an all-white theme.
Or maybe he's just trying to get revenge for the elevator fight.

Timbaland Lifetime Deserves the Heat For Crappy Aaliyah Biopic
Timbaland clearly thinks Lifetime deserves every ounce of crap being flung their way for the Aaliyah biopic that premiered Saturday ... and during his attack on the network, no digital punches were pulled.

Timbaland wasn't the only celebrity who had choice words for the movie ... DL Hughley also chimed in -- saying, "Aaliyah is the Soul Plane of Lifetime!"

Kim Richards Removes Pit Bull From Home ... Temporarily
Kim Richards finally played her hand on the fate of her pit bull ... and it sounds like she's trying to keep it.
Kyle Richard's sis was at the Grove Saturday when our photog asked about her dog, which has now bitten 4 people ... most recently Kyle's 18-year-old daughter Alexia.
It takes a little reading between the lines, but it sounds like she's saying she sent the dog to a professional so it won't continue attacking people. That means when the trainer thinks the dog is socialized she'll take it back.
The question ... who would go to Kim's house hoping the dog had turned over a new leaf?
Once bit ...

We broke the story ... Porsha was demoted back in October from main cast member to friend for being a pain in the ass.
There have been reports of a possible spin-off ... and she adds fuel to the fire.

Ex Goo Goo Dolls Drummer I Got Booted for Having a Baby
The Goo Goo Dolls' ex-drummer has major beef with the band because he says he got 86'd just because he wanted to be with his wife when she was giving birth to their twins.
Michael Malinin filed a Federal lawsuit against frontman Johnny Rzeznik and bassist Robert Takac ... over his firing from the group in December 2013. According to the suit, the Dolls were on a tour when Malinin got word his wife was about to pop.
He says his paternity leave had been discussed in advance, and everyone knew he would have to leave for a few weeks around the birth. But Malinin says when the time came ... the band manager told him he was getting canned.
In the suit, MM says he was told specifically that Johnny wanted him gone. He says they didn't even give him a severance package for his 19 years of Goo Goo service.
Malinin says he'd been getting a third of the 3-man band's profits ... so, he's suing to get back a chunk of that cash.
And now ... some of Malinin's finest work.

Tyga Seals Deal with Drake's Ex With Handfuls of Her Ass
Tyga just upped the ante in his pissing match with Drake ... by grabbing a giant handful of his ex-chick's ass and signing her to co-star in a new music video.

Exes be trippin'.
