Celebrity Feuds

Donald Trump has completely turned on Steve Bannon -- saying the guy has lost his mind ... this after Bannon called a meeting the President's son took with Russians "treason."

Bannon was quoted by author Michael Wolff in a sweeping new book detailing the alleged chaos from Trump's first year in office as saying Don Jr.'s meeting in 2016 was treasonous.

Trump responded Wednesday in an official statement saying ... "Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."

The Prez goes on to say that Bannon had little to do with his historic victory, and that while Bannon claims to be at war with the media ... he often leaked from the White House.

Trump says Bannon helped people -- presumably Wolff -- write phony books with his insights, which Trump says were actually limited.

Danielle Bregoli is unimpressed at Anderson Cooper, thinks Andy Cohen looks like a human Q-tip and doesn't care these "60-to-70-year-old men" trashed her during their CNN New Year's Eve show.

We got the 14-year-old rapper at LAX, and she made it crystal clear ... Anderson and Andy are waaaay outside her demo. Her point was that ancient Anderson had no reason to know who she was or what she's done given his position in life -- aka old.

Shock photographer Tyler Shields says his biz is booming since he shot the photo of Kathy Griffin holding a bloodied Trump mask -- and he has a plan for Kathy to rebound from the controversy.

We got Tyler at LAX Tuesday where he insisted the photo will actually be good for Kathy's career ... in the long run.

Kathy says she's been blacklisted from Hollywood since the whole fiasco, but Shields thinks she can turn it all round by shooting a documentary about their project ... including ALL reactions to it.

The celebrity backlash against Logan Paul has begun ... with "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul unloading on the YouTuber as "pure trash" over his dead body video.

FYI, Aaron is not related to Logan -- but if they were, you can bet he would have disowned him by now.

"Dear Logan Paul, How dare you! You disgust me."

"I can't believe that so many young people look up to you. So sad. Hopefully this latest video woke them up. You are pure trash. Plain and simple. Suicide is not a joke. Go rot in hell."

Piers Morgan is also slamming Logan ... saying, "You’re a sick, twisted, heartless little prick."

Logan tried to smooth things over after shooting and posting a dead body he found in Japan by writing an open letter ... but so far, it seems it's being rejected harshly.

Vincent Herbert did not get Laura Govan pregnant and did not commit spousal abuse on Tamar Braxton ... this according to Vince himself.

A pap got Tamar's estranged hubby Sunday out in Bev Hills where the denials came straight from the horse's mouth. Vince says it clear as day on the Govan rumor ... not true at all.

He also backs up what Tamar said herself about his Christmas day arrest -- there was no spousal abuse ... even though he was, in fact, arrested for spousal assault.

We broke the stories ... Tamar unleashed her fury on a woman claiming to have gotten pregnant by Vincent, and people were quick to assume she was referring to Laura. Laura denies it's her, and says her own ex, Gilbert Arenas, is the one fueling the rumor.

Laura Govan's been getting hated on since Tamar Braxton went ham on a woman who claims she got knocked up by Tamar's estranged hubby, but Laura says everyone's got it wrong ... and blames Gilbert Arenas.

Laura tells TMZ ... she's not a homewrecker or the "whore" who allegedly got pregnant by Tamar's husband, Vincent Herbert. Govan says she's never been with Vince, and on top of that ... she's not pregnant and is in a happy relationship with someone else.

Laura tells us the reason people think Herbert cheated on Tamar with her -- besides Tamar suggesting it online -- is because Arenas, her ex and baby daddy, started the rumor. We're told he reached out to Tamar recently and told her Herbert was cheating with Govan.

Laura tells us this is completely false and is just a new way for Gilbert to attack her ... and Tamar fell for it. She also says Gilbert needs to stop spreading lies and focus on child support -- which she says he hasn't paid since September.

We broke the story ... Tamar says Vincent was arrested on Christmas due to alcohol and jealousy brought on by going through a rough divorce.

For what it's worth ... Laura tells us she's praying for them.

Nas claims Kelis has been anything but accommodating when it comes to giving him time with their 8-year-old son ... and he's asking a judge to help him out.

Nas calls Kelis "hostile" in court docs, obtained by TMZ, claiming he's tried for months to work out an amicable agreement for sharing their son Knight ... and Kelis just won't cooperate.

He's asking a judge for Knight on the first, third and fifth weekend of each month from Friday after school through Monday morning.

Nas claims Kelis has dictated when, where and for how long he's able to spend time with his son ... and he's had enough.

Jay-Z is ready to confess all his sins in his latest music video ... and Beyonce's the one he's spilling to.

Jay released a teaser for his new music video "Family Feud" Thursday -- it includes flashes between a church and sex scene -- most likely representing the rapper's alleged cheating on his wife.

The song's lyrics are telling as well, "Yeah, I'll f*** up a good thing if you let me. Let me alone, Becky."

The teaser ends with Jay sitting in a confessional booth ... and Bey's on the other side.

Blac Chyna is irate over the Kardashians' claim she's responsible for the cancellation of her reality show with Rob, and she thinks they're sending a terrible message to women that getting a domestic violence restraining order is a bad thing ... sources connected to Chyna tell TMZ.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim, Rob and Kris just responded to Chyna's lawsuit in which she accuses the Klan of sabotaging the reality show "Rob & Chyna" out of revenge. The Kardashians say the reason the show was cancelled was because Chyna got a restraining order and it was impossible to shoot a show when Rob was legally prohibited from interacting with his baby mama.

Our Chyna sources say the latest round of legal docs has her fuming. Chyna says she was in fear for the safety of her and her daughter, and women should not lose jobs just because they try to protect their family from violence. She says Rob physically abused her. He denies it.

There is a wrinkle. Chyna dropped the restraining order outright after Rob agreed to pay her $20k a month in child support. As one Kardashian source put it -- if she really felt threatened she would never have dropped the restraining order.

Nick Cassavetes' baby mama Heather Wahlquist says she wants 100% custody of their 13-year-old daughter until Nick cleans up his act.

Heather appeared on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and chronicled what she says is a custody war that erupted without warning. She says she left Nick in 2012 and everything was square between her and the director of "The Notebook," until this month when Nick went after her for not turning over Barbie for the holidays.

TMZ broke the story ... Heather signed an agreement promising to turn Barbie over on December 18, but she didn't and claims it's because she questions Nick's stability, insinuating there might be a substance abuse issue.

She and Barbie are currently in Norman, Oklahoma and are due in court Tuesday. Nick wants a judge to hold Heather in violation of their agreement.

The Seattle Seahawks were on a mission to shut down Ezekiel Elliott on Sunday ... because the team was totally pissed Elliott bet Eric Dickerson he'd gash the Seahawks defense for 200 yards.

Dickerson told TMZ Sports about the bet earlier this month ... telling us the Cowboys stud promised a 200 yard rushing game against the Seahawks, or he owed Dickerson a jersey.

Zeke didn't rush for 200 yards (although he did roll off 97 on 22 carries) and when asked about the bet after the game, Seahawks defensive star Frank Clark admitted the team played with chippy shoulders.

"Oh yeah, we heard about that."

LB Bobby Wagner seemed even more ticked, saying "He had that bet, we wanted to make sure he didn't win it."

Both are code for "We must break you."

We should say, while Zeke played okay, the Cowboys themselves were God-awful, managing only 283 yards against a particularly inspired Legion of Boom defense.

Don't poke the bear, or the Seahawk, if you actually know what a Seahawk is.

Cris Cyborg says she's not sweating Holly Holm's famous leg-striking power -- it's Holly who should be worried about Cyborg's fists.

The UFC superstar joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs tonight on FS1) -- and told us why the former bantamweight champ should be afraid ... very afraid.

Cyborg vs. Holm is the main event at UFC 219 on Dec. 30 in Vegas -- and Cris says she's trying to rally her fans to help out the kids at the local hospitals while she's in town.

John Salley says Magic Johnson called him the day after the NBA legend's 1991 earth-shattering HIV announcement ... to ask if Isiah Thomas had been privately dissing him for contracting the disease.

Johnson and Thomas ended their decades-old feud this week with a teary-eyed reconciliation -- part of a sit-down interview between the two men.

Salley played with Zeke on the Bad Boy Pistons team of the 80's, and when we reached out to him to ask him about the hatchet burying, he gave us some insight into why things were so bad in the first place.

"I know how tough it was. The morning after Magic announced I was on the phone with him, and he asked me, 'Did Isiah say such and such?'"

The fact Johnson was so concerned with Thomas' reaction to his illness shows how fractured their relationship was -- and why it took nearly 30 years to repair things.

Salley went on to say he's glad Magic and Isiah have patched things up -- and the fact that Johnson apologized for the way he treated Zeke really makes a difference.

"I'm the biggest Magic Johnson fan ever ... and now even more."

The Game's been holding out on 40 Glocc ... who says it's time to pay the hell up.

40 Glocc just filed a lawsuit against Game, seeking more than $200k he says he's owed. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, 40 says he won the dough back in November 2016 in a previous lawsuit he'd filed over a 2012 beatdown Game handed him. TMZ got a video of the fight.

40 says the original judgment was for $196,335.15 -- however, because Game's been dragging his feet ... with interest, he now owes $216,775.52.

Sarah Hyland put CVS on blast for leaving her hanging on crucial meds she needed, but the pharmacy is firing back, saying the mix-up was her own damn fault.

Sarah tore into CVS earlier this week after she said a Studio City location never notified her to pick up her medication before closing time ... as she claims they promised they would.

She also called them out for allegedly posting the wrong hours on the Internet. Based on her post, it appears she pulled the hours from a maps app.

And therein lies the problem, as they say. We're told CVS learned Sarah did use a 3rd party search engine to find those hours -- but did NOT check the actual CVS website. That site displays the correct pharmacy closing time ... 9 PM.

Meryl Streep's face is plastered all over Hollywood in a campaign to shame her for allegedly keeping silent about Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct -- and the posters are hitting close to home.

At least 2 "She knew" posters sprung up Tuesday across the street from the L.A. headquarters for SAG-AFTRA ... the union that reps Meryl and all actors.

The poster campaign seems to be in direct response to Rose McGowan's criticism of Streep and other actresses planning to wear black to the Golden Globe awards. McGowan tweeted (and later deleted) -- "Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest. YOUR SILENCE is THE problem."
