Omarosa She Actually Was Fired from WH ... Says Deputy Press Sec.
Omarosa's diss on President Trump's White House didn't go unnoticed -- because 45's Deputy Press Secretary confirmed she was, in fact, fired from her job.
Raj Shah was fielding questions in place of Sarah Huckabee Sanders Thursday and got asked about Omarosa besmirching the rep of the White House on "Celebrity Big Brother" the night before.

His response ... the White House doesn't take her comments very seriously. He also deaded the much-debated topic of her departure a couple months ago ... she was fired, according to him.
Shah elaborated with this ... Omarosa had been fired from "The Apprentice" 3 times prior ... and that "this would make the 4th time we let her go."
He also said Omarosa had very limited contact with the Prez while on the job, and has zero contact with him now.

WOOOO!!!
Philadelphia Eagles lineman Jason Kelce just gave one of the greatest Super Bowl parade speeches EVER -- blasting the team's haters in an expletive-laden, WWE-style scream-athon.
AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!
Kelce was decked out in his full Mummers costume -- and named names of writers/media members who predicted doom for the Eagles this year.
He cussed. He spat. He yelled a lot. He got the crowd to chant every time he took a breath.
Of course, his teammates and coaches loved it.
Fly, Jason, Fly!!!
“HUNGRY DOGS RUN FASTER. AND THAT’S THIS TEAM!”

Taylor Swift Bad Blood with Karlie? Ask Katy Perry!!!
Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss aren't just a little on the outs ... it's looking like that bridge is TOTALLY burned, and Karlie's standing with Katy Perry waving from the other side.
Paps got Karlie with Katy and NYT bestselling author Derek Blasberg grabbing sushi in L.A. Wednesday night. The key thing here, of course, is Karlie and Katy hanging together.
Here's why it matters -- Karlie and former BFF Taylor haven't hung out in a minute ... not since their "Bad Blood" squad days back in 2015. And everyone knows Taylor and Katy's rocky relationship.
Swish swish 🏀❤️ Love Advent ‘17 thank you @THELOVEMAGAZINE @kegrand pic.twitter.com/MNIwz5aczq
@karliekloss
Adding fuel to the fire, Karlie appeared to shade T-Swift earlier this year with her LOVE Advent calendar shoot, which she posted with the caption, "Swish swish" -- a clear nod to Katy's diss track about Taylor.
The night out with Katy convinces us ... Karlie and Tay are never, ever getting back together.

Nate Diaz to Tyron Woodley: I See You On TMZ ... Let's Fight Already!
Nate Diaz is finally ready to fight Tyron Woodley -- saying, "I see him on TMZ every week, talking about me. I'm like, 'What the f*ck?'"
Diaz spoke with ESPN's Brett Okamoto and Nate was asked when we'd finally see him return to the octagon -- since he hasn't fought since the Conor McGregor rematch in 2016.
That's when he brought up Tyron ...
"I'm getting to the point where I'm sick of not fighting. I'm not getting any younger ... I put that tweet out saying I wanted to fight in May or June, but I didn't say who because I was weighing my options. And now, Woodley is my best option."
Tyron had previously said he was offered the Nate Diaz fight at UFC 219 but Diaz refused to sign the contract. Tyron's been calling Nate out on his show, "The Hollywood Beatdown" -- which drops every week on the TMZ Sports YouTube page.
"I see him on TMZ every week, talking about me. I'm like, 'What the f*ck? If that's what you want to do.' It's not really my weight class, but I'm with it," Diaz said.
"I think it's my title we're fighting for. If he's the one calling me out, whose title are we fighting for? Who's the real champion here?"
Diaz says he's eyeing UFC 226 in Vegas on July 7 -- because he wants a 3-month camp to get ready.
The newest episode of "The Hollywood Beatdown" drops on Friday -- don't miss it.

Ex-Pats TE Jermaine Wiggins Praises Josh McDaniels: Indy's 'a S**t Show' Anyway
"Who the hell wants to go to the Colts organization and play for [Jim] Irsay. I mean, that place is an absolute s**t show" -- says ex-Patriots tight end Jermaine Wiggins.
Wiggins would know ... he played for the Colts back in 2002 and tells TMZ Sports he's convinced Josh McDaniels made the RIGHT choice in backing out of the Indy coaching job.
"[If McDaniels] goes to Indy, if they suck in two years, they'll be looking for a new head coach and he'll be out," Wiggins says.
So, the better decision is to stay with the best organization in football and take over when Bill Belichick leaves. Job security and more money. Boom.

Tony Dungy Rips Josh McDaniels You Screwed Over Your Assistants
Tony Dungy is ripping into Josh McDaniels -- saying there's "no excuse big enough to justify" screwing over all of the asst. coaches who are getting burned in his coaching flip-flop.
"It’s one thing to go back on your word to an organization," Dungy said ... "But having assistant coaches leave jobs to go with you then leave them out to dry is indefensible. For COMFORT??"
This all stems from Josh's last minute decision to back out of a deal to coach the Indianapolis Colts and go back with the Patriots ... AFTER he lured a team of assistants to leave other jobs and sign contracts with Indy.
Now Indy will have to hire a new head coach -- and that person will likely blow out McDaniels' entire team and bring in his own guys. Dungy clearly believes the assistants are getting screwed big time.
"Has nothing to do with the Colts. It’s about the families of those assistant coaches that he totally disregarded. But who cares about them???!"
Dungy added ... "You don’t do that to the families of your peers."

'America's Got Talent' Fed up with Mel B Eyeing Queen Latifah!!!
Mel B's become a major thorn in the side of "America's Got Talent" producers, who now want to kick her to the curb ... and Queen Latifah's their first option to replace her.
'AGT' production sources tell TMZ ... Mel's been butting heads with people on set and producers think she comes with too much "baggage" for the amount of money the Spice Girl's getting paid. We're told the situation worsened while Mel was enmeshed in her intense divorce from Stephen Belafonte.
You'll recall ... she's feuded on camera with Simon Cowell ... tossing a drink at him, but we're told there's been even more tension behind the scenes.
We're told producers wanna replace Mel with Queen Latifah by next season. One potential hurdle is the fact QL's under contract with the FOX series, "Star."
'AGT' judge auditions begin in 5 weeks -- so, time ain't exactly on their side.

Conor McGregor Open to Career in Politics ... And a Rematch w/ Floyd!
2/3/18
"The Notorious" might be "Minister McGregor" in a matter of years ... 'cause Conor McGregor tells TMZ Sports he's open to a career in politics!
We got Conor chillin' in NYC with his GF, Dee Devlin ... and the UFC mega-star was positively giddy when we asked him about potentially running for office -- something he teased on social media earlier this week.
"Maybe, who knows?! I know they're shakin' in their boots anyway!!" Conor said.
He was clearly in a joking mood, but Conor seemed dead serious is his cryptic message criticizing the Irish government.
There's more ... when our guy tried (emphasis on "tried") asking about a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov ... McGregor immediately brought up Floyd Mayweather, saying he "needs to fight again."
With Floyd teasing an MMA fight all week, ya gotta wonder ... could Floyd vs. Conor 2 actually happen in the UFC?

Blac Chyna Kim Mean Girl'd Me With Her Valentine 'Gift'
Blac Chyna's firing off a Valentine's Day message for her almost sister-in-law Kim Kardashian -- don't be cruel!
Sources close to Chyna tell TMZ ... she's pissed about the "gift" she received the other day from Kim. As we first reported, KK sent a bunch of giant chocolate hearts -- with her new perfume inside -- to dozens of friends, loved ones ... and haters.
We'll give you one guess which list Blac Chyna made.
While she was tight-lipped Thursday at LAX when we asked about Kim's chocolate heart ... we're told BC considers Kim a "very cruel, huge bully" who's using "Mean Girls" tactics to promote her product.
Our sources say she's surprised Kim would do this, since she's Dream's aunt. She also disagrees with the "hater" label because she says she's never tried to tarnish Kim's image.
There's that little matter of attempting to sue Kim for getting "Rob and Chyna" canceled -- but who's counting?

Laila Ali Squashes Beef with Ronda Rousey ... Good Luck in WWE!
Looks like the feud between 2 of the baddest chicks on the planet has fizzled out -- 'cause Laila Ali is wishing Ronda Rousey "all the best" in WWE.
For real.
We got Laila at an event for her new 'Food for Life' book out in NYC ... and the former unified boxing champ did the unthinkable -- she gave her UFC rival PROPS for pursuing a new career.
"I think it's cool ... she can wrestle!" Ali told TMZ Sports.
Remember ... Laila famously criticized Ronda after she lost to Holly Holm -- and that's after they went back and forth for months, saying they'd smash each other in boxing.
NOVEMBER 2015
Guess the feud's officially dead now ... unless Laila wants to get inside a pro-wrestling ring!

Paul Marciano to Kate Upton Take Me to Court ... I've Done Nothing Wrong!!!
Guess co-founder Paul Marciano is so confident there's been no misconduct by him against Kate Upton ... he's urging her to take him to court to set the record straight.
Marciano tells TMZ ... he's shocked by Upton's accusations of sexual harassment and can't figure out what she claims to have against him. He says he won't apologize because he's done nothing wrong.
Marciano insists he's never touched Upton, and has never even been alone with her. He adds ... "If she has a claim, there's one place to tell the truth and that’s in court or to the police."
The Guess honcho says there could be some bad blood with Kate ... he says after she became a superstar by way of 5 campaigns with the brand, she began showing up to set after late nights "looking terrible." Marciano claims the company decided to cut ties with her ... and he suggests this might be her motivation.
We talked to Kate Wednesday -- after she had tweeted that Marciano has been "using his power in the industry to sexually and emotionally harass women" -- and she told us she can't wait to tell her full side of the story ... and hints it's coming soon.

Stormy Daniels is going to war -- a vagina war -- with Wendy Williams, and she's willing to put it ALL on the line ... TMZ has learned.
Stormy caught wind of Wendy's show Wednesday when the host called her washed up, messy -- and the coup de grace -- "all worn out down below." Now, Stormy's firing back, telling TMZ ... "My vagina is a well trained beautiful athlete that would not have the longest running contract in porn history if she were ugly."
The porn star -- who now swears she did NOT bang Donald Trump -- says she'd be happy to show Wendy what she's working with, whenever Wendy wants.
All jokes aside ... Stormy's upset about the attack on her lady parts, and says she's considering a defamation lawsuit.
She might want to get a consultation before pursuing that.

Lorde Grammys Won't Let Me Go Solo ... So I'm Not Performing!!!
Lorde is now the second nominee out of 5 for Album of the Year who won't be performing at the 'Grammys' Sunday, and it's all because the offer she got from producers was a slap in the face ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Lorde tell us ... the singer decided not to play after a heated back and forth with the Grammys about her involvement in the show. We're told Lorde wanted to perform one of her songs from her nominated album, but she was only offered the option to sing as part of a Tom Petty tribute ... during the late rocker's tune, "American Girl."
The 2 sides couldn't come to an agreement ... so Lorde pulled the plug on performing altogether and we're told she won't be on the Red Carpet either.
It's interesting -- our sources say the other 4 nominees, all men, got offers to perform their own tracks solo, and while Jay-Z declined ... the other 3 nominees -- Bruno Mars, Childish Gambino and Kendrick Lamar -- are all slated to perform.
The "60th Annual Grammy Awards" air Sunday night.

Taryn Manning got a sweet deal on her SAG Awards outfit -- but she's pissed off, and wants a piece of the stylist who dared to deck her out in a ... wait for it ... $200 dress!
Taryn was still fuming about the gown Wednesday at LAX. Our photog tried to congratulate the 'OITNB' star on scoring the ensemble that most critics loved ... for the look and the price.
Well, talk about different perspectives. You gotta see what happened when we tried to give her props. Taryn's happy everyone else can go buy her dress -- Adrianna Papell at Macy's and Bloomingdales, btw -- but strongly believes she deserves better.
Hell hath no fury ...

Megyn Kelly Jane Fonda's a Traitor She Has No Right to Call Me Offensive
Megyn Kelly lashed out at Jane Fonda Monday, essentially calling her a traitor who has no business lecturing her, or anyone else, on what qualifies as offensive.
Kelly was reacting to Fonda's blistering criticism of her for asking about Fonda's plastic surgery on one of Kelly's earlier shows. Fonda felt it was inappropriate and silly.
Kelly just exploded with her own criticism, saying Jane told just about anyone who would listen that she had work done.
And then Megyn called Jane out for her comments during the Vietnam war, which earned her the nickname, "Hanoi Jane."
Now a new war has erupted.
