Celebrity Feuds

The Kardashian family believes Caitlyn Jenner has betrayed the transgender community by sticking with Donald Trump after the President vowed to ban transgender soldiers from the military.

Sources with first-hand knowledge tell us, Caitlyn's latest stunt -- parading around Malibu wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap is an affront to the community she claims to champion. The family believes Caitlyn promotes transgender rights in a very selective way -- when it helps her.

They think she's become heartless by flaunting views that hurt the LGBT community and it reaffirms they want nothing to do with her.

Joanna Krupa says her defamation lawsuit against Brandi Glanville was way more than hygienic vindication ... she hopes it will inspire others to stand up for themselves in the name of truth.

Joanna arrived at LAX Thursday and was at first slow to talk about her confidential settlement, but then opened up about the meaning behind her legal attack.

New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen is outraged at Donald Trump's jab at her state, and she's not afraid to show it.

Our photog got the Senator at the Capitol Thursday, and she was none too pleased that President Trump told the Mexican President that N.H. is a "drug infested den."

Shaheen clearly feels Trump is part of the problem, spending his time trashing people and places rather than solving real problems like health care for the poor.

LaVar Ball ain't backin' down from Michael Jordan -- saying he's STILL confident he'd crush MJ in 1-on-1 even if he had 1 arm tied behind his back.

The Big Baller attacked LaVar at his basketball camp earlier this week, saying, "I don't think he could beat me even if I was 1-legged."

Ball's response?

"I could beat him with 1 hand tied behind my back with some glasses on with one eye lens out with some flips flops on in the rain."

There's more ... LaVar also goes after Shaq's diss track -- blasting the dude as old and irrelevant.

Then it's on to Charles Barkley ... saying Chuck was talkin' out his ass when he said Lonzo and the Lakers aren't a playoff team.

Enjoy ...

Master P has just been named the president of a brand new professional basketball league -- for both men and women -- and says his first order of business is signing LaVar Ball.

The leader of the No Limit Army was out in NYC -- where he was officially announced as head of the GMGB, Global Mixed Gender Basketball.

Master P says he's going after real deal talent -- from Lisa Leslie to Paul Pierce ... but says the big target right now is LaVar.

"I want to get LaVar Ball into the league. I want to see how good he really is."

There's more ... P says he also wants to lock down Shaq and get them to settle their beef on the court once and for all.

2:45 PM PT -- It appears part of the settlement includes Brandi making a public mea culpa. She just released this statement to TMZ ... "I want to apologize to Joanna Krupa for the statements I have made about her. I regret ever making such statements about Joanna Krupa; I also certainly never intended my statements to be taken so seriously and out of proportion."

She added, "I apologize as I never wanted my statements to affect Joanna Krupa's reputation and I wish her nothing but continued success in life."

The big stink is over -- Joanna Krupa and Brandi Glanville struck a settlement in the infamous smelly vagina lawsuit ... TMZ has learned.

We just got a hold of new docs filed Tuesday confirming both sides have reached a "full and final settlement." Joanna's now officially withdrawing her defamation suit against Brandi.

Sounds like there was a financial settlement, but the terms are confidential.

As we reported ... the beef started in 2013 when Brandi -- while appearing on "Watch What Happens Live" -- claimed she'd heard from a friend that Joanna's lady parts smelled.

Brandi said it a second time ... prompting the defamation suit. Joanna's estranged husband even testified recently ... her vajayjay's "better than any other woman in the world."

Seems the war between Tyron Woodley and Dana White has cooled off ... with the UFC president telling TMZ Sports they finally talked things out after blasting each other in the media.

It all started after UFC 214 -- White ripped Tyron's performance against Demian Maia. Woodley fired back demanding a public apology from White or else he would "start leaking some sh*t that people don't want to be out in the wind."

We reached out to White to see where things stand and he told us, "Woodley and I talked and he said he was just pissed and upset and didn't mean it."

We also spoke with Tyron who says, "We good."

The GOAT is finally addressing the Big Baller ... with Michael Jordan saying once and for all LaVar Ball "couldn't beat me (in 1-on-1) if I was 1-legged."

His Airness was at his basketball camp in Santa Barbara on Monday when he was asked about LaVar's comments that he'd "make Jordan cry" if they were to play against each other.

M.J. initially didn't want to entertain the idea, but ended up dropping the ether on Papa Ball.

Gonna guess LaVar will have something to say about the situation. Stay tuned.

11:25 AM PT-- The BBB just hit back at MJ on Twitter ... saying, "Michael, you vs Lavar | 1 v 1 | you with 1 leg, Lavar with 1 arm. Has to be on Pay-Per-View. Let's make it happen. YOU WON'T."

J.K. Rowling choked down some crow by apologizing for her rant about a viral video of President Trump seemingly ignoring a handshake from a disabled boy at the White House.

J.K. blasted the Prez for the video, saying ... "This monster of narcissism values only himself and his pale reflections." She added it was "horrible" he couldn't bring himself to shake the little boy's hand.

After the 'Harry Potter' author ranted, the boy's mother said the video was misleading -- and she wanted to make it clear Trump had not snubbed her son, and the boy wasn't even trying to shake the President's hand.

J.K. tweeted an apology to the mother and her son, saying she didn't intend to cause them any distress.

Sorry, Shaq and LaVar -- looks like the epic matchup between your sons ain't happenin' ... 'cause Shareef O'Neal says he's gunning to be 1-and-done before LaMelo Ball makes it to UCLA.

We got Shareef leaving LAX with his mom, Shaunie ... and the Arizona Wildcats recruit told us straight-up that he wants to dip outta 'Zona after just one year to go get that NBA money.

Since LaMelo's one year behind him ... that would mean no O'Neal on Ball action -- until the NBA.

There's more ... Shareef says he'd prefer not to follow in his dad's footsteps in the endorsement world ... meaning Reebok's probably off the table. Big Baller Brand isn't on the kid's short list either.

As for the O'Neal vs. Ball rivalry ... Shareef told us IT AIN'T REAL -- and that he hasn't even listened to Shaq's epic diss track.

Yeah ... right.

Cynthia Bailey and NeNe Leakes are not down with fake news, and they think that's what Kim Zolciak's pushing when it comes to her beef with Kenya Moore.

We got the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' duo at LAX ... and our photog peppered them about what really happened to make Kim charge at Kenya while shooting last week.

You'll recall Kim went nuclear ... thinking Kenya brought up Kim's "injured son" during some intense trash talking. So, was Kim justified? Well, there's Cynthia and NeNe's version of events. And then there's Kim's.

Anyone smell another Kim rant coming?

Tomi Lahren 1, Chelsea Handler 0 -- at least that's how Tomi had her liberal-conservative showdown scored.

We got Tomi leaving Politicon in Pasadena, and asked her if the debate -- really more of spirited convo -- moved her ever so slightly toward the left. She showered some praise on Chelsea ... but then declared SHE made Chelsea lean right.

That's probably pushing it, and the actual score is probably a tie -- especially considering Tomi gives Obamacare just a tiny bit of praise in this clip.

Can't stay on Mom and Dad's plan forever!

Amber Rose is trying to smooth things over with her hometown by explaining her remark about no "traditional beauty" in South Philly ... was really about herself.

Amber was looking cute in a brunette wig -- traditionally speaking -- Saturday night on her way out of Playhouse nightclub, and she was anxious to set the record straight. She claims she never said anyone was ugly -- although it sure as hell sounds like it when you watch the video from the "Drink Champs" podcast.

Amber's clarification seems to be that she was referring to "society's standards of beauty" -- and that even she didn't feel beautiful.

Translation: The world thought South Philly had ugly people, and I was one of them?

BOOM!!!!

Shaq Diesel just responded to LaVar Ball a la Tupac -- with a brand new killer 3 minute diss track going right after the Big Baller.

O'Neal's flow is straight fire over a classic Jay-Z beat -- and he mocks LaVar's basketball career right off the bat.

"I been doing this a long time ... when you were averaging 2 points riding the pine."

There's more ... Shaq also responds to LaVar's claim that he could beat him in 1-on-1.

"You having a dream and when you wake up apologize. And bow down to my Staples Center statue hanging off the side (of the building)."

But there's a twist ... with Shaq giving LaVar props for his parenting skills at the end of the track -- plus, he praises LaMelo's jump shot.

Enjoy ... and let's pray LaVar responds.

Kyrie Irving & LeBron James need to beat the hell out of each other immediately ... so says an ex-teammate of LBJ who tells TMZ Sports a healthy dose of fisticuffs can fix the beef.

We got Drew Gooden at LAX, who played with LeBron from '04 - '08 and asked him if there's any way these two NBA titans can put the bad blood behind them and get back to losing to Golden State.

According to Drew there is, and involves some fists, 'cause he told our guy the two men need to just kick the crap out of each other, get all the bad vibes out, and then start over.

There were reports LeBron wanted to do just that, which he refuted, but still, maybe Drew has a point?

Luke Rockhold says his boy, Daniel Cormier, WILL DEFEAT Jon Jones at UFC 214 this weekend -- but it'll be a war.

"I just think they beat the living crap out of each other for 5 rounds," Rockhold tells TMZ Sports ... "and I think we can come out on top."

Yeah, he's a little biased -- the two are extremely close and have been for years.

"Me and D.C. have been together from the beginning," Rockhold says ... "Living in my manager's house. I'm living in the garage and he's living in the shanty house in front in Gilroy, CA."

"Rags to riches. It's been a long road."

We also spoke with D.C.'s boxing coach Rosendo Sanchez who tells us the beef with Jon Jones couldn't be more real.
