John Wall I'm Great with Gortat!!!
John Wall's not mincing words about his relationship with his Wizards teammate, Marcin Gortat ... he straight up tells us everything's cool!
We got the injured NBA star leaving Mastro's in Bev Hills Friday night -- he's in town for All-Star Weekend festivities -- and asked if there's any ongoing beef between him and the Wizards center ... he shoots it down right away.
Here's the backstory -- Gortat tweeted about a great "team" victory after Washington won its first few games without Wall, which many considered a shot at the star. Wall responded by saying he gives Gortat "the most spoon-fed baskets ever."
The 2 reportedly had a meeting to hash out their issues last week ... and it seems like it worked.
Wall's recovering from a knee injury, and the team's hopeful he'll be back in time for a playoff push.

Shaun White Slammed by Accuser ... My Case Isn't Gossip!!!
Shaun White's sexual harassment accuser -- his former bandmate Lena Zawaideh -- is furious he referred to the case as "gossip" ... and she's carefully unloading on him, through her attorney, in a way to avoid violating the terms of her settlement.
"Yesterday, Shaun White used the word 'gossip' to refer to the past sexual harassment lawsuit by his former drummer ... our client," says Lena's lawyer, Lawrance Bohm.
He continues ... "There are powerful legal forces at play which prevent Ms. Zawaideh from speaking about the allegations and ultimate outcome of the sexual harassment case."
"Before Mr. White made his comments, [Lena] believed that this matter was in the past and she was happy to put the situation behind her ... Unfortunately, by his recent comments and conduct, Mr. White has minimized the problem of sexual harassment in this country."
"Mr. White's comments, on the world stage, directly impugn the character of Ms. Zawaideh. No woman wants to be called a 'gossip' or a liar by the harasser. Minimizing sexual harassment maximizes the harm to Ms. Zawaideh."
He concludes ... "Hopefully, before our country declares someone 'the best of the U.S.' there will be investigation and due diligence."
As we reported ... White apologized on the "Today" show Wednesday for dismissing his sexual harassment case as "gossip" when an ABC reporter asked him about the allegations possibly tarnishing his legacy. The question came up at the media conference following Shaun's gold medal run on the men's half-pipe Tuesday.
We broke the story ... White was sued by Zawaideh in August 2016 for allegedly sexually harassing her for years, and had text messages to back it up. She claimed during her 7-year run with the band, White would text her penis pics, sex videos involving fecal matter and demanded she change her hairstyle.
White denied the allegations, but ultimately settled the case with Lena in May 2017.

Spencer Pratt LC's Preventing a 'Hills' Reunion ... 'Bless Her Angel Heart'
Spencer Pratt says he wants his "Jersey Shore" moment with his co-stars from "The Hills" -- there's just one problem ... Lauren Conrad, according to him.
We got Spencer Monday night in Times Square again and he told us he wants to be like Pauly D and co. and revel in his reality TV glory days with his old 'Hills' squad. He says LC is the only holdout, and it sounds like there's some unfinished biz between her and Spence.
Spencer even laid out some terms he'd be willing to agree to if Lauren would just come out and shoot for half a day.
Oh, and he's got a shout-out to Kristin Cavallari on her new reality show. It's not all bad blood.

Chris Noth I'll Take the 'Big' Road, Thank You ... In SJP, Kim Cattrall Fight
Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker might want to follow their old co-star Chris Noth's lead when it comes to the next step in their bitter feud.
We got Chris -- who played SJP's "Sex and the City" BF -- Monday night in NYC and asked how his character, Mr. Big, would squash the beef between the ladies. His response, we think, is spot-on.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Kim Cattrall went nuclear over the weekend, saying Sarah was painting her as the villain for not wanting to do a third 'SATC' flick ... and claimed SJP was desperate to improve her "nice girl" image.
Let's be honest ... stepping into the middle of this fray would be a no-win sitch for any guy. Even Mr. Big, which explains why he took this approach to our question.

Kim Cattrall Attacks Sarah Jessica Parker 'You Are Not My Friend'
One thing in this crazy world is clear ... Kim Cattrall hates Sarah Jessica Parker's guts.
Kim just went on the attack against her "Sex and the City" co-star ... this after Parker went on social media and TV to offer condolences to her after the death of Kim's brother.
Kim just posted this, "stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona."
She went on ... "My Mom asked me today 'When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone? Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
It's pretty clear how much Kim dislikes Parker and it clearly irks her that Parker offered condolences for all the public to see, despite the bad blood.
Kim recently slammed the door shut on another "Sex and the City." Clearly ... it was not a very happy set back in the day.

Paris Hilton Stop Calling US Female DJs ... It's Just DJ
Paris Hilton thinks Steve Aoki is all wrong when he rails that there are no female DJs.
We got the DJ/entrepreneur and fiance Chris Zylka Thursday at LAX and asked about Aoki's gripe that there's no gender equality in the EDM world, but Paris quickly schooled us on some of the best female DJs in the game.
We crossed out the word female because Paris thinks it makes no difference whether a dude or a chick spins tunes. But on Aoki's broader point -- that there are no female DJs -- Paris ticks off a bunch.

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.

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?
