Kim Zolciak I'm Officially Done with 'RHOA'!!!

Published | Updated

Kim Zolciak's not mincing words -- she says her time on "Real Housewives of Atlanta" has come to an end ... and she's not leaving the door open for a return.

We got Kim and her hubby Kroy Biermann at LAX Saturday, and asked if reports of her leaving the show are true ... she tells us they are. Kim says it's too much stress ... and she's "never, never" doing it again.

As you know ... Kim's an OG on 'RHOA' but left for a few seasons to star on her own Bravo spin-off, "Don't Be Tardy," which -- as she reminds our guy -- is still going strong.

She returned for this season of 'RHOA' but clearly didn't have a good time ... most likely due to her ongoing feud with longtime rival, NeNe Leakes.

Speaking of feuds ... Kim had no comment on Marlon Wayans.

Nicki Minaj & Quavo At Star-Studded Coachella Party ... Beef Squashed

Published | Updated

Nicki Minaj and Quavo know how to smooth over a hip-hop beef the right way -- make it quick ... and hit up a VIP party right after.

Nicki and the Migos rapper hit up a Coachella after-party on the first night with a crew of A-list celebs -- including Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Scott and Chance the Rapper ... and they all seemed to be feelin' good.

Minaj and Quavo had a mini falling out earlier this week over the song "MotorSport" ... but it appears to be water under the bridge already. Nicki revealed late Friday night Quavo apologized and she forgave him ... so perhaps SZA was right.

The Weeknd also made it to the party after headlining night #1 ... and other stars like Shania Twain and Timothee Chalamet were there, too.

WHERE'S THE BEEF?

Rich the Kid took a big shot at his former friend and current enemy Lil Uzi Vert, telling the crowd at his album release party ... "F*** that N**** Uzi!"

Rich was celebrating the release of his debut album, "The World is Yours" at a Social Group Party at OHM Nightclub in Hollywood, when he unleashed on Uzi.

The beef started when Uzi took a hard pass when he was asked to join Rich the Kid's record label, Rich Forever.

Uzi's been silent ... Rich has not. He dedicated his song, "Dead Friends" last month to Uzi.

QUEEN B OVER CARDI B

Richard Lawson is kinda awesome ... he busts up at the notion Cardi B is bigger than his stepdaughter.

We got Beyonce's stepdad in Bev Hills Friday leaving The Palm, and he says it's no contest at Coachella ... Beyonce leaves Cardi B in the dust.

Tina Knowles' hubby doubles down and says Beyonce is bigger than everyone on Earth, but does reserve the #1 spot for someone else in the Universe.

But he cautions Bey had better watch her back ... because Blue Ivy's comin' for her!

Tamar Braxton to Vince Set Foot in My Crib and You're Toast!!

Published | Updated

Tamar Braxton's done with her estranged hubby's drama, and so is the luxury high-rise building where she lives because he's BANNED ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the matter tell us, Tamar and Vincent Herbert got into a heated argument Tuesday night that got so out of hand, security at her Bev Hills condo escorted him out and told him he's no longer allowed in the building.

It's unclear what started the battle, but it's a good bet it's fallout from the drama that started over the holidays.

We're told building security acted so swiftly, cops weren't needed, but Vince was told if he returns ... cops WILL be there, stat!

Brielle Biermann Leave My Mom Alone, Marlon ... But, HMU for 'White Chicks 2'!!!

Published | Updated

Brielle Biermann's conflicted about Marlon Wayans' "White Chicks 2" joke about her mom -- on one hand she's not down with it, but on the other hand ... it's kinda funny.

We got Kim Zolciak's daughter at LAX Thursday and asked her how she felt about Wayans making fun of her mom's appearance ... and her response is kind of surprising. Brielle admits she's a huge "White Chicks" fan, and if Marlon had cracked on anyone else ... she'd probably have no beef.

But, Brielle's protective of her mother -- who we know was NOT HAPPY about the dig -- so her message to Marlon's pretty clear ... back off!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Here's the bright side -- Brielle says there can be a happy compromise. She's open to being in a 'White Chicks' sequel in place of Kim ... and is willing to go above and beyond for the role.

Hear that, Marlon?

Rosie O'Donnell Paul Ryan's Going Straight to Hell ... Now That He's Retiring

Published | Updated

Rosie O'Donnell has some parting words for retiring House Speaker Paul Ryan ... have fun with the Devil, pal.

We got the comedian Wednesday in NYC, and asked if she had any thoughts on Ryan's announcement this week that he won't seek re-election ahead of the 2018 midterms.

She had some thoughts, alright -- the fiery and eternal type. Rosie says PR's going straight to hell now that he's leaving Congress. Can't say it's hard to understand -- critics claim Ryan has been spineless in dealing with President Trump, bending to his every whim.

She also guesses who'll replace him in Congress, but not necessarily for the Speakership. He's a union ironworker named Randy Bryce, also known for his epic facial hair.

Ice Cube Rips Emir of Qatar Don't Threaten BIG3 Players!

Published | Updated

Ice Cube is escalating his beef with the royal family of Qatar -- warning the Emir not to threaten BIG3 players or ANY American athlete.

We broke the story -- Cube and his BIG3 partner, Jeff Kwatinetz, filed a $1.2 BILLION lawsuit against several Qatari investors ... including royal family member Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Saud Al Thani.

Cube claims the investors screwed the league out of millions -- and then made threats saying, "You should think of your safety and the safety of you and your family."

Now with the Emir of Qatar visiting with President Trump on Tuesday, Cube decided to send a message ... taking out a full page ad in the NY Times saying:

"Hey President Trump, when you meet today with Putin's new friend, the Emir of Qatar, please tell him not to threaten the BIG3 and American athletes!"

Clyde "The Glyde" Drexler also added his name to the message.

For their part, the Qatari government is denying wrongdoing -- saying they are not connected to the group that invested in the BIG3.

Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann Marlon Wayans is a Disgusting Coward For 'White Chicks' Joke

Published | Updated

Kim Zolciak and hubby Kroy Biermann fired the heavy artillery at Marlon Wayans ... calling him a p***y and thoroughly unfunny for suggesting Kim was the poster girl for "White Chicks 2."

Wayans came under heavy fire over the weekend after he posted a photo of Zolciak with the caption, "No we are not in production for White Chicks 2. The f***?!" Marlon was referring to his 2004 film with his brother, Shawn, where the two played undercover FBI agents dressed as white women.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

We got Kim and Kroy at LAX Monday, and asked them about Marlon's photo ... it was clear, they were NOT happy. Kim told our photog she thought it was totally inappropriate for Wayans to attack her appearance in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

Fleetwood Mac Lindsey Buckingham Out Won't Tour with the Group

Published | Updated

12:12 PM PT -- It didn't take the band long to replace Lindsey ... in a statement provided to TMZ, the group has announced that Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and Neil Finn (Crowded House) will join the group for the upcoming tour.

As for the Lindsey situation, the statement simply reads, "Lindsey Buckingham will not be performing with the band on this tour. The band wishes Lindsey all the best."

Fleetwood Mac has lost a key member of the band just as the group is set embark on a giant tour -- Lindsey Buckingham is out ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the group tell us Lindsey will no longer be involved in any band activity, and will not be joining his former bandmates on the massive tour this summer. Keyboardist Christine McVie confirmed they'd be hitting the road around June.

It's unclear exactly why he's splitting from the band -- or who cut ties with who -- but we're told, for now at least, the decision is final and firm.

Buckingham served as FM's lead guitarist for over 40 years, ever since he and then-girlfriend Stevie Nicks were recruited by Mick Fleetwood and co. After he and Nicks came aboard, the band's popularity skyrocketed on the heels of two hit albums -- 1975's "Fleetwood Mac" and '77's "Rumours," the latter of which is the 8th best selling album of all time.

He and the rest of Fleetwood Mac were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Their last headlining show together was last summer.

THIS WAS NO RANDOM SHOOTING

Cops believe whoever shot Floyd Mayweather's bodyguard in Atlanta early Monday morning was specifically targeting Floyd's entourage.

The Atlanta PD has now identified the victim as Greg La Rosa -- a longtime member of Floyd's TMT bodyguard crew.

La Rosa was a passenger in the lead vehicle of Floyd's 3-car entourage -- which cops say was leaving a Waffle House after Floyd had hosted a party at Medusa nightclub.

Cops say the actions of the shooter suggest Floyd's crew was specifically targeted -- though it's unclear if the shooter was trying to kill Floyd.

As for La Rosa, he was shot in the leg -- and was discharged from the hospital around 5:30 AM. Cops say he's doing well.

Cops say the driver of the lead car tried to speed away from the shooter -- but the shooter's car gave chase.

Eventually, the driver was able to shake the shooter's car and took Greg to the hospital.

Mayweather was NOT injured in the attack -- but cops say they desperately want to speak with him as soon as possible.

Cops do not believe anyone in Floyd's entourage fired back at the shooter.

Blac Chyna to Rob Don't Even Think About ... Messing With Custody

Published | Updated

Blac Chyna's ready to fight Rob Kardashian to keep things status quo when it comes to custody of Dream ... Six Flags stroller scuffle be damned.

Chyna's lawyer, Walter Mosley, tells TMZ ... BC and Rob still have a valid custody agreement in place, and Chyna protecting her daughter shouldn't affect it in any way. We're told any attempts by Rob to alter custody stipulations will be defended "by any means necessary" ... legally speaking.

Our Chyna sources say she stands by her claim she was simply doing what she had to do to protect her kids -- both Dream and King Cairo -- in the Six Flags incident ... and doesn't think her stroller swinging should be held against her.

We broke the story ... Rob's livid Chyna put Dream in harm's way and plans to take her back to family court. We're told he's also concerned about her bringing new men -- like current 18-year-old bf YBN Almighty Jay -- into her home when their child is there ... and wants restrictions put in place.

We're told BC's not down with that either.

Kardashians Blac Chyna Can't Sue Over Smack Talk

Published | Updated

The Kardashians have fired back at Blac Chyna, saying they're legally allowed to call her all sorts of names without getting sued for defamation.

The family wants a judge to toss Chyna's claim she's been defamed because the sisters said, among other things,"The show [Rob & Chyna] is giving this toxic woman money and exposure she lives and breathes for and by continuing it ... [s]he will proceed with using and physically abusing my brother."

The family also said Chyna was "tarnishing" their brand, "damaging to [their] family and a threat to Rob's safety."

According to legal docs, these statements are clearly subjective opinions and too vague to be provably false.

The docs note there have been court decisions protecting comments such as calling plaintiffs a "loser," "a big skank" and "a top-ranking dumb ass."

Josh Norman I Cook Cam Newton in Hoops ... Ain't That Right, Cam??

Published | Updated

Josh Norman is so confident he'd take Cam Newton 1-on-1 in basketball, he told Cam straight-up ... and TMZ Sports has the video!

We got Josh after a beach workout in L.A. with his NFL bros Julian Stanford and Demario Davis ... and the stud safety opened on why we keep spotting him droppin' sweat on the sand.

But, things got really interesting when our guy asked Norman about ballin' up Cam at his charity game in South Carolina this weekend.

Turns out, Cam was on the phone with Josh ... and when we asked who the better baller was, Norman wasn't about to back down.

"Me, of course. I'm not gonna say him."

FYI, a bunch of NFL stars are coming out to hoop at Norman's event -- but, is it gonna be bigger than Quavo's Huncho Day?

We asked ... and Cam's response was priceless.
