Mariah Carey Assistant Fires Back with Lawsuit Alleged Butt Slapping, Racist Language

Published | Updated

Mariah Carey's former assistant has just fired back at the singer's blackmail allegation with her own lawsuit, claiming she was the victim of horrible abuse by one of Mariah's key people, and the singer did nothing about it.

Lianna Azarian claims in a new lawsuit, Mariah's former manager, Stella Bulochnikov committed various acts of abuse, including slapping her butt and breasts, urinating on her, tackling her to the ground and sitting on her. Azarian also claims Stella called her the n-word, and a "f***ing Armenian whore."

According to the lawsuit, Azarian says Stella ridiculed her breasts, "including placing objects under her breasts such as iPhones, television remote controls and utensils."

Azarian claims a lot of the alleged abuse occurred in Mariah's presence and she did nothing.

Azarian also says Mariah committed acts of physical, emotional and psychological abuse against her.

TMZ broke the story ... Mariah sued Azarian, claiming she secretly videotaped embarrassing and intimate activities and then blackmailed after Mariah fired her ... saying if she didn't get $8 million she'd release the videos.

Azarian is suing Mariah, Stella and others.

We reached out to Stella and are waiting for a comment. And, we reached out to Mariah's folks ... so far, no word back.

Azarian's lawyer, Mark Quigley, responding to Mariah's blackmail lawsuit, calls the allegations "baseless" and "an attempt to attack my client's character and deflect attention away from a workplace harassment and wrongful termination lawsuit." He adds, "My client never did anything she wasn't specifically asked to do."

Rosie O'Donnell Trump Will Be Arrested ... Before the 2020 Election!!!

Published | Updated

Rosie O'Donnell thinks Donald Trump has a snowball's chance in hell of being reelected in 2020 ... because it's really hard to run for office when you're sitting in prison.

We got the comedian Wednesday in NYC, and asked if she had any thoughts on Trump's chances to be a two-term President. Rosie says there's no way in hell that's happening and adds ... the American people won't let it happen.

She makes it clear she has faith citizens will bounce back from what she describes as Trump's "tyranny," and -- to borrow one of his fave phrases -- lock HIM up.

Watch ... Rosie also has some fiery thoughts on Trump's chances of getting his beloved border wall.

Jillian Michaels Let's Go Al, Andy & Vinny I'll Take You Down on Keto All Day!!!

Published | Updated

Jillian Michaels thinks Al Roker, Andy Cohen and Vinny Guadagnino slamming her from afar for criticizing the keto diet is a punk move if they're not willing to do it face-to-face.

The famed personal trainer and 'Biggest Loser' star was on "TMZ Live" to address the beef with a slew of celebs who attacked her for speaking out against the high-fat, low-carb weight loss craze.

Al blasted Jillian as a bully, and Cohen dubbed her "jackhole" of the day on his show, 'WWHL.'

Jillian says she isn't surprised by their fierce response -- 'cause there's big money behind the diet -- but then she tried to take the high road by politely inviting them to debate the science of keto in person.

She says they've gone radio silent. For now, Jillian's more than willing to throw a few personal jabs right back at the guys.

World Record Egg Guy Who Started it Slams Kardashians ... Rides with Daddy Long Neck

Published | Updated

12:30 PM PT -- The egg has spoken, saying on its Instagram story that Supreme Patty and his crew taking credit for starting up world_record_egg is invalid.

It says ... "We're still anonymous. Fake news."

The egg that broke Kylie Jenner's record for most-liked Instagram post was possibly the brainchild of a guy with a family of Internet sensations, but he ain't down with Kylie's fam of attention-grabbers.

We got Supreme Patty -- idol of 6.2 million IG followers -- leaving Poppy in West Hollywood Monday night, with a giant picture of world_record_egg ... the Instagram account that smashed the record for likes this week, more than doubling Kylie's 18.5 million likes on the first photo of Stormi.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

One of Patty's pals told us he's the man responsible for the egg, but Supreme was definitely shy about confirming. Instead, he had some harsh words for the Kardashians.

Interestingly, the alleged creator of the egg is friends with 2 dudes known for their necks -- Daddy Long Neck and Wide Neck -- and they were all together leaving the club.

Check it out ... they already have a new nickname for the famous egg.

Kevin Gates No Beef with Boosie ... But I'll Do Life if Anyone Crosses Me

Published | Updated

Kevin Gates claims everything's cool with fellow Louisiana rapper Boosie now, but he has a warning shot to anyone else thinking about doing him dirty.

The Baton Rouge MC sat down with Raquel Harper for a new episode of BET's "Raq Rants," and he insists rumors of a long-standing feud with Boosie are overblown. Boosie was tried and acquitted in the murder of one of Kevin's rap affiliates.

Kevin now claims he doesn't have problems with anyone, but also told Raq ... he wouldn't hesitate to "do a life sentence" if anyone tests him.

You gotta see how he says it. It's pretty intense, especially because his toddler son was sitting right next to him at the time.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

For what it's worth, Boosie did seem to confirm they'd squashed all hate last year by recruiting Kevin to play his music festival.

Check out Kevin's full interview on "Raq Rants," Tuesday night at 11 PM on BET. On the West Coast, if you have Dish or DirecTV, it's on at 8 PM.

Rob Kardashian 'L&HH' Star Alexis Says He Can Get it!!! Shots Fired at Blac Chyna

Published | Updated

Rob Kardashian shoots, Rob Kardashian scores!

Blac Chyna's ex is catching the eye of 'Love & Hip Hop' star Alexis Skyy after shouting her out with a #WCW post ... on Monday, mind you. Sources close to Alexis tell us she saw Rob's Snapchat, and she's definitely feeling him too.

In fact, Skyy was so open to hanging with Rob, she was at his house just a few hours after he posted the tribute to her.

Seems like Rob has had a thing for Alexis for a while. He captioned the Snap, "MY WCW ... I'VE BEEN WANTING YOU FOR SO LONG.."

Alexis is already trying to make nice with the Kardashian clan -- after Rob's post, she started following Kris, Kim, Kendall, Kylie and Kourtney on IG.

The timing of Rob's post is super interesting because Alexis and Chyna had major beef over the weekend. Considering Rob rarely posts on social media these days ... it seems like he broke his silence simply to stick it to his ex.

Rob and Chyna are locked in a bitter child support war -- but Alexis seems willing and able to step into the middle of it.

Rae Sremmurd Everyone Relaaaaax ... Slim Jxmmi's Not Going Solo!!!

Published | Updated

Rae Sremmurd is here to stay. That whole Slim Jxmmi episode hinting he was leaving the group? Chalk it up to just a squabble with his bro that is, apparently, water under the bridge now.

The Sremmurd-panic started when Slim went on a mini Twitter rant over the weekend ... saying he was no longer living the "SremmLife." He also strongly insinuated he was going solo when he tweeted he would "sink or swim by myself."

But, now our sources say Slim's not going anywhere and he'll remain half of the duo with his bro, Swae Lee.

It's unclear what exactly triggered the rant, other than some sort of brotherly squabble. We're told Slim and Swae are all good now.

So good, in fact, Slim posted a throwback pic of the duo and captioned it, "Sremm 4 Life."

Brothers. Even the famous ones get on each other's nerves.

Trump to Jeff Bezos Sorry to Hear Bozo's Divorcing Great Work, Nat'l Enquirer!

Published | Updated

President Trump had time to reflect on Jeff Bezos' divorce drama -- and he let it rip on Sunday by trashing the Amazon honcho ... while praising the National Enquirer.

Trump just tweeted, "So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post."

DT continued ... "Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!"

Bezos owns WaPo -- and, of course, Trump doesn't like the way they cover him ... much like the "Failing New York Times." Regarding the Nat'l Enquirer, the tabloid published alleged text messages between Bezos and GF Lauren Sanchez after he announced he and MacKenzie Bezos were getting a divorce.

Trump seems to be implying that the paper forced Jeff's hand.

We broke the story ... Jeff and MacKenzie don't have a prenup, and his $137 billion fortune could be on the line as the divorce proceeds.

It's interesting that Trump's weighing in on the Bezos situation at more length now than he did on Thursday ... when he wished Jeff luck and said the divorce would be a "beauty."

Slow Sunday, huh?

Blac Chyna Allegedly Threw Drink at Alexis Skyy ... Come Out & Fight Me!!!

YOU THROW DRINKS, I THROW HANDS

'Love & Hip Hop' star Alexis Skyy says Blac Chyna threw a drink at her out of nowhere at a party, and AS apparently waited for her outside in an attempt to square up.

The story's pretty crazy ... from Alexis' side, anyway. She claims she and Chyna were at the same party Saturday night, and BC invited her over to her section. Alexis says she obliged and the two of them had a couple drinks, which is when things went south.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Alexis says Chyna flipped out and asked Alexis to leave her section. Then ... Alexis claims BC threw a drink at her, and s*** hit the fan.

Alexis says she started swinging at Chyna and ultimately got kicked out of the party. What's even more wild is that she apparently waited for Chyna outside for quite a long time ... or at least that's how it seems from the messages she was posting on IG.

These messages were posted early Sunday morning, in which she accuses Chyna of drug use and dares her to come outside to fight in hand-to-hand combat.

Unclear if BC ever did that, as she didn't have a thing to say about the altercation on her own social media ... but Alexis ended things with a warning shot to Chyna.

We've reached out to Chyna's team for comment ... so far, no word back.

Omarion It's Fine If My Baby Mama Hooks Up With Lil Fizz ... Just Don't Do It At The B2K Reunion!!!

Published | Updated

Omarion says he's not losing sleep over his baby mama's situation with Lil Fizz ... just as long as they don't get down on the B2K reunion tour!!!

Omarion sat down with our Raquel Harper for Tuesday's episode of "Raq Rants" on BET, and he made it clear he's not trying to get involved in his BM's love life ... but if Apryl Jones bangs his bandmate on tour, Omarion says that's a different story!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Omarion's ex was snuggling up with Lil Fizz on New Year's Eve, leading to speculation over their relationship. Judge for yourself, but Apryl and Fizz look pretty close ... even if they say they're just friends.

Whatever's going on ... Omarion's making it clear he doesn't want any drama during B2K's upcoming tour.

For the full interview ... watch "Raq Rants" Tuesday at 11 PM on BET. On the West Coast, if you have Dish or DirecTV, it's on at 8 PM.

Chrissy Metz Come On, People ... I Didn't Call Alison Brie a Bitch

Published | Updated

Chrissy Metz could not be clearer ... she did NOT call Alison Brie a bitch on the Golden Globes red carpet ... she called her a babe.

We got Chrissy leaving an after-party Sunday night in WeHo at Delilah ... and she scoffed at the notion she would shade her fellow actress like that.

TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL

As the rain poured down, our photog asked Chrissy about the semi-off-mic passing comment, and she squarely dismissed what some people say they heard. The comments came during a Facebook Live pre-show hosted by AJ Gibson and Missi Pyle. It actually seems Chrissy started making her comment and trailed off because she was conscious of the mic.

For Allison's part, she said afterward, "Nothing but love for @chrissymetz !! Rumors can't keep us down!"

Chrissy Metz Denies Calling Alison Brie a Bitch During Golden Globes Pre-Show

TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL

5:45 AM PT -- Alison Brie responded on her Instagram Story posting a pic of the two from SAG Awards, saying, "Nothing but love for @chrissymetz !! Rumors can't keep us down!"

Chrissy Metz seems to have forgotten how a microphone works -- 'cause it sounds like she called fellow actress Alison Brie a bitch ahead of the Golden Globes ... but Chrissy says that isn't the case.

The 'This Is Us' star was being interviewed on the Globes' own Facebook Live pre-show by AJ Gibson and Missi Pyle when toward the end of their chat, AJ asked Chrissy if she knew who Alison was. Chrissy sarcastically responded, "Do I?"

AJ said Alison was on the other end of the red carpet, and as the camera panned to Alison with another Globes host ... Chrissy can be heard saying what sounds a lot like, "She's such a bitch." The audio fades out a bit as the line is delivered.

It's unclear if Chrissy was aware her mic had picked up the comment, but it doesn't appear Alison heard her as she didn't react. Chrissy commented on the news ... calling the "bitch" angle fabricated, and saying she adores Alison and would never say a bad word about her or anyone ... adding, "I sure hope she knows my heart."

It's odd though ... Chrissy doesn't clarify what exactly was said.

Alison has been nominated for her first-ever Golden Globe for her role in "GLOW" -- and Chrissy, of course, has been nominated a couple times already for her role on the NBC drama.

Weirdly enough ... they've posed together at events before, and there doesn't seem to be any surface-level bad blood between the two stars.

Johnny Manziel Kanye's Afraid of Drake

Published | Updated
slack-imgs-1
STUCK IN THE MIDDLE

Johnny Manziel says he's right in the middle of the Kanye West vs. Drake beef -- since it's all going down in Calabasas -- and he's convinced Yeezus is scared.

You already know the backstory ... Kanye went off on Drake publicly this weekend when he realized the rapper still followed Kim Kardashian on IG. He took his gripe to Twitter where he posted about 75 million tweets about the situation.

Since Manziel is friendly with Drake -- and lives around the corner from Kanye and Kim in Calabasas -- he talked about the situation on his Comeback SZN podcast on Barstool Sports.

"It's all happening right around the corner," Manziel said ... "So, I'm in the middle of it right now. I can't wait to see it unfold a little bit more, but [Kanye] is triggered!"

He added, "It sounds like Kanye is a little worried about Drake. Like he's going to call someone to beat him up or something."

Seems Manziel is right ... remember, Kanye suggested that Drake threatened his family during a Twitter spat a few weeks ago.

"You threatened the safety of me and my family," Kanye tweeted on Dec. 13 ... "Never threaten north saint and Chicago's dad bro."

Kanye continued ... "So drake if anything happens to me or anyone from my family you are the first suspect. So cut the tough talk."

Manziel says he's not sure if the beef is real -- but he's convinced if Drake and Meek Mill can bury the hatchet ... Drake can make peace with Kanye too.

Antonio Brown Axed from 'Masked Singer' ... You're No Bobby Brown!

Published | Updated

Antonio Brown finally got cut Wednesday night ... but it wasn't by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The superstar WR was one of the celebrity performers on "The Masked Singer" -- and while the show was taped months ago, his song choice proved insanely relevant when it aired Wednesday night.

Disguised in a hippo mask, Brown performed Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative" -- which includes the famous lyrics ... "Everybody's talkin' all this stuff about me. Why don't they just let me live?"

It's almost like he knew he was gonna be in the middle of a super nasty public feud with his team when he taped the show.

The judges thought the face under the hippo mask belonged to either Odell Beckham, Deion Sanders or Allen Iverson.

Before he revealed his true identity, the judges had already sealed his fate -- giving him the lowest score among the celebrity singers ... which means he was axed from the show.

Now, with his singing career essentially over ... he's gotta turn his focus back to football -- and figure out how the hell he can either make peace with the Steelers or get outta Dodge.

Aubrey O'Day Booted from NYE Party ... After Refusing to Sing to Donald Trump Jr.

Published | Updated

Aubrey O'Day rang in the New Year by getting kicked out of her own show ... at a faux birthday party at a strip club in honor of her alleged ex, Donald Trump Jr.

Folks at Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in Las Vegas tell TMZ ... Aubrey threw a fit Monday night when a bday cake was carted out for the Prez's son after she finished her 3-song set.

We're told she was pissed because she was asked to sing "Happy Birthday" to her former fling -- which was allegedly not part of her contract -- then one of her assistants got physical with a cocktail server.

We got video of the ex-Danity Kane member being escorted out after her performance, seemingly at the direction of one of the club's managers who shouts at her to leave the building.

We broke the story ... the New Year's Eve bash was a total troll job by the club, because Larry Flynt famously hates President Trump. Having it hosted by his son's alleged ex-mistress was part of the joke.

Seems like O'Day was tired of playing along though.

We reached out to her ... no word back so far.

Drake's NYE Party Kendall, Kylie & Travis All Attend ... Despite Kanye Feud

Published | Updated

Drake's keeping his friends close and his frenemy's family even closer ... based on who showed up to his New Year's Eve bash.

As you know ... Kanye West went on the attack last weekend and issued a very public rebuke of Drake on NYE for following his wife on Instagram, but that didn't stop Kim's sisters from having a good time at Drizzy's champagne party.

Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott all attended The Mod Selection New Year's Party Monday night at Delilah in L.A. -- hosted by Drake -- despite the bad blood currently between him and Ye.

It's possible the rappers' relationship's on the mend ... Drake unfollowed Kim on IG just hours before midnight on NYE, so perhaps that was enough to smooth things over and allow Kanye's kin to hang out with Drake without backlash.

Kanye even tweeted on New Year's Day "I love Drake 2019 we will all heal."

However, he also used the first day of 2019 to go on a Twitter rant about Trump.

One step forward, two steps back.
