Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Hit the Recording Studio!!!
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky hit the studio Friday night ... adding more fuel to the rumor mill she's gonna drop another album!
She's been seen at the L.A. studio several times recently, so the seemingly endless wait for more music may be coming to an end.
RiRi was there with BF A$AP, who is mounting an aggressive defense to weapons charges. He's been hit with felony firearms charges for allegedly shooting A$AP Relli. Relli has filed a civil suit against Rocky as well.
Rocky's new lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told TMZ Friday, "Rocky didn't commit a crime. It was an extortion attempt by a former associate, who threatened to make false criminal accusations if Rocky didn't pay him."
Tacopina tells us he has 2 eyewitnesses who back Rocky's story ... not only that Relli wasn't hit by bullet fragments, but that no shot was even fired. In other words, Tacopina says Relli has made up the story in a "get rich quick scheme."
As we reported, Rocky previously pled not guilty to both criminal charges of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

Exclusive

Rajon Rondo has settled a lawsuit in Los Angeles, according to court filings ... stemming from a 2020 incident where the NBA star was accused of assaulting a woman in a parking lot.
In docs obtained by TMZ Sports, the attorney for the plaintiff, Toktam Jorshari -- who sued Rondo for assault and battery -- filed a notice in an L.A. court, indicating the parties had reached a settlement.
Now, a judge must dismiss the case ... which should be a formality.
We broke the story ... Jorshari sued Rondo after claiming she was injured during an altercation with the hooper and his GF outside an apartment complex in July 2020.
In the suit, Jorshari alleged the former Clippers PG was upset about how close her car was parked to his pricey, $300k Rolls-Royce ... which she says led to Rondo's GF attacking her.
TMZ Sports obtained video of the incident (which didn't have audio) ... and Rondo appears to nudge the woman with his elbow, causing Jorshari to confront his GF.
DECEMBER 2020
Jorshari claimed she suffered injuries from the confrontation ... after being punched in the face and head multiple times by Rondo's GF
At the time, Jorshari's attorneys said of the incident ... "no man should ever put their hands on a woman."
"Especially an NBA basketball player with superior height and strength. The video speaks for itself," they continued.
Rondo -- who played for the Cavs last season -- is currently an NBA free agent.

The glitzy event didn't go down without a hiccup, however ... but this time, no one could point the finger at Blue and Chrisean.
Instead, it was rapper Maino who got into a bit of an altercation with Natalie after he snatched the mic when people were heading towards the door.
According to Natalie's recollection, Maino got on the mic only to get disrespectful, ripping Zeus Network while watching the company's pockets.

The situation between Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen is reportedly so bad the famous couple is currently living apart from one another in separate houses ... as TB12's return to the football field has caused a major rift at home.
CNN reports Brady and Bündchen -- who married in 2009 -- are having "marital" issues and "living separately."
It's just the latest report about the couple's issues ... which began to come to light when the 45-year-old Bucs quarterback mysteriously left training camp for 11 days.
Gisele Admitted She Had 'Concerns' About Tom Brady's Unretirement In Offseason
A few weeks back, Gisele gave an interview to ELLE Magazine where she admitted to having "concerns" about her husband's return to the football field.
"I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again," she said to the outlet. "But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."
The supermodel -- who hasn't been shy over the years about making it known she wants Tom to retire -- also told the magazine she wanted Brady to "be more present."
TB12 hasn't addressed the reports, but did bluntly say he has "a lot of s*** going on."
Tom Brady Says He Missed Training Camp Because Going Through Lots of 'S**t'
During a recent episode of his podcast with Jim Gray, the 7-time Super Bowl champ talked about the sacrifices he's made over the years.
"I haven't had a Christmas in 23 years and I haven't had a Thanksgiving in 23 years, I haven't celebrated birthdays with people that I care about that are born from August to late January. And I'm not able to be at funerals and I'm not able to be at weddings."
Tom continued ... "I think there comes a point in your life where you say: 'You know what? I've had my fill and it's enough and time to go on, to move into other parts of life.'"
Brady just started his 23rd NFL season ... the Bucs started 1-0 after a win in Dallas against the Cowboys.

Of course, the Wizards' star -- who returned to past form during his first year in D.C. -- has a passion for fashion ... routinely wearing outfits that cause a stir on social media.
Remember, Kuz wore an oversized pink sweater on gameday back in November ... and was mercilessly trolled by fellow NBA stars Demarcus Cousins, Isaiah Thomas, and J.R. Smith.

Kourtney Kardashian Fashion Week Event Takes Dark Turn ... Lights, Please!!!
Kourtney Kardashian's Fashion Week Show looks like a huge success despite the fact it was missing something very necessary when it started -- someone missed the "lights, camera, action" memo.
Kourtney's event -- for her collab with Boohoo -- began around 8:30 PM at the Highline in NYC ... she made a grand entrance with hubby Travis Barker, and everyone cheered as they strutted down the runway.
But, as you can see in the video, shortly after they hit their seats next to Jonathan Cheban ... the freakin' lights went out! The show must go on, so the models did their thing down the catwalk -- just without lights or music.
Awwwkward. Let's face it, the point of a fashion show is to show off fashions ... which gets difficult in the dark.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Sources at the show tell us Kourtney was looking around in confusion while the lights were off, but her reaction wasn't super obvious since it was so dark.
Good thing she didn't panic -- after about 30 seconds the lights popped on and the music started too. Pesky plugs!
After that ominous start, the show continued without a hitch.
BTW, this was a solo mission ... Kourt handled her biz without any other Kardashians attending.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Ilgauskas family and his two boys," he said. "It's obviously a really, really sad time for that family, so we wish them the best."
The Cavs added in a statement Wednesday they were "deeply saddened" by the death.

Jennifer Ilgauskas, according to an obituary from the Zeis-McGreevey Funeral Home, passed away on Sunday. A cause of death was not revealed.

She had worked in the medical industry while Zydrunas was playing in NBA arenas ... and according to her obit, "She always had ideas for growth and the never-ending desire to achieve more."
"She truly enjoyed working and being a leader who led by example," her family and friends wrote in the obituary. "She cared deeply about everyone she employed, and her door was always open to those who needed to talk. She was generous with her time, finances and counsel."
Jennifer and Zydrunas had two sons. Her funeral is scheduled for Sept. 17.
The former basketball player -- whose jersey was retired by the Cavaliers in 2014 -- has yet to publicly comment on the loss.

Michelle Branch & Patrick Carney We're Calling Off Divorce ... At Least For Now
Michelle Branch and Patrick Carney are giving their marriage another shot, because they're backing off their divorce, at least for now ... to try to work things out.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Michelle and Patrick are pressing pause on their divorce for at least 6 months, during which time they will try to reconcile.

Michelle and Patrick have 2 young kids together and they've been married for more than 3 years.

Gisele Bündchen Admitted 'Concerns' Over Brady's Return ... In Offseason
Gisele Bündchen admitted she had "concerns" over Tom Brady's unretirement this offseason ... saying she expressed them to her NFL star hubby "over and over again."
The supermodel told ELLE in a recent interview that she was worried about the violence of football. She said she also wanted Brady to "be more present" around the house and their kids.
"I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again," she said to the outlet. "But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."
ELLE reports Gisele made the comments several weeks before she and Brady reportedly entered into a "rough patch" in their marriage -- a rift that supposedly got so bad, she briefly stopped living with the football player.
The outlet claims it reached back out to Gisele this month over the reports, but she "declined to comment on the speculation."
Of course, Gisele has said publicly that she's wanted Brady to call it quits for at least the last half-decade -- wishing he'd spend more time with the family. She's also said she doesn't believe he has anything left to prove on the field.
She did, though, appear to extend an olive branch to the quarterback before his season-opening game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, tweeting, "Let's go @TomBrady ! Let's go Bucs !"

Brady -- who took 11 days off from Bucs training camp last month -- has yet to address the reports ... but he has told media members he's had "a lot of s*** going on."

Kendall Jenner Packin' On PDA With Devin Booker ... At U.S. Open
There was a ton of action on the court at the U.S. Open men's final on Sunday ... but there was even more in the stands, 'cause Kendall Jenner couldn't keep her hands -- or lips -- off her NBA star boyfriend, Devin Booker!!
The couple has been inseparable recently -- they hit up the NBA 2K23 launch party in Los Angeles on Thursday, before jetting off to New York City for the weekend.
Jenner and Booker hit up a bunch of New York Fashion Week events throughout the weekend ... sitting front row in multiple flashy outfits.
Amid all the fashion week fun, KJ and DB showed up in Flushing Meadows as Carlos Alcaraz took on Casper Ruud ... and throughout the match, you can see they were passionately into each other.
At one point, the two even lean in for a kiss ... and Kendall caresses her man's chin.
But, they weren't just focused on themselves -- Kendall was spotted yelling in support as the match unfolded.
Remember, there were rumors Kenny and D-Book called it quits earlier this year ... but that's clearly not the case -- they look stronger than ever.

Jason Oppenheim Not All Belly Kisses Are For Babies ... ALL Over GF in Mykonos!!!
At first glance, Jason Oppenheim's vacay pics with his model girlfriend make ya think there's "Selling Sunset" baby news coming, but upon closer inspection ... they're just hot and horny!!!
Jason and Marie-Lou Nurk are yachting around Mykonos with fellow 'Sunset' star, and Jason's ex-GF, Mary Fitzgerald and her husband, Romain -- and, for some reason, Jason decided to plant some kisses right on MLN's belly.
But, we're sure the universal sign for "we got one in the oven" is misplaced here, because other shots show Marie-Lou vaping ... and also, Jason later got a massive handful of her ass. Not exactly giving maternal instincts or parent-to-be vibes!
What it is giving is ... we're super into each other. Remember, the couple just made their public debut about a month ago in Hollywood at a Netflix event.
Word is Marie-Lou will appear in the next season of 'Sunset' ... which can't be the least bit awkward, considering JO now has 2 exes -- Mary and Chrishell Stause -- working in his real estate office.
That office holiday party's gonna be 🔥!!!

Gisele Bündchen Shows Support For Tom Brady ... But Skips QB's Game
Gisele Bündchen appears to be back in Tom Brady's corner -- just not, at least for Sunday night, physically ... 'cause the supermodel showed love for the QB on her social media ahead of his season-opening game, but skipped being there in person for it.
Gisele penned the sweet message to the 45-year-old on her Twitter account just minutes before he kicked off his 23rd NFL season against the Cowboys in Dallas.
"Let's go @TomBrady !," she wrote. "Let's go Bucs !"
The note, while short, is a pretty big deal -- considering multiple reports stated she was so furious with Brady's decision to unretire for this season, she temporarily stopped living with him recently.
Gisele, though, did not make the trip to the game -- a rare occurrence for the 42-year-old, who's often spotted celebrating the QB's success in luxury suites at stadiums.
Brady has yet to publicly address the reported rift between him and his wife ... but he did say when talking about his training camp absence last month that he had "a lot of s*** going on" at the moment.

However big the issues are off the field, Brady didn't let them affect his play too much against the Cowboys -- he looked solid, helping the Buccaneers cruise to an easy 19-3 win.

Josh Duhamel Appears to Have Married ... Parties in Local Fargo Bar!!!

Exclusive

12:05 PM PT -- 9/12 -- A clerk for Cass County tells us Josh and Audra got the paperwork for a marriage license on August 26 ... but it hasn't yet been returned. They have 60 days to do so, so ya, they almost certainly got hitched.
7:30 AM PT -- Josh Duhamel and what appeared to be his wedding party hung out in Duffy's Tavern in Fargo, ND, for about 30 mins. They had a few drinks and were celebrating. His bride Audra Mari was in the corner and out of view of the camera.
Everyone seemed very happy and were engaging with other people in the bar -- they were very respectful. Josh and Audra left in a red convertible and were chauffeured around town while sitting up in the backseat waving.
Josh Duhamel seems to have gone back to his roots to apparently say "I do" with Audra Mari, only to then hit up a local watering hole near his stomping grounds.
Eyewitnesses are telling us the actor got hitched Saturday in Fargo, North Dakota -- a ways from his hometown in Minot, where he was born and raised -- and looks to have done the deed atop a rooftop at a place called the Jasper Hotel ... this according to someone who claims they saw the set up and ceremony from across the way.
Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Post.
Afterward, we're told Josh and Audra popped into a tavern in town known as Duffy's ... where they were knocking a few back and enjoying their time with the patrons on hand. The owner of the place, Chris Litton, tells us it was super casual -- just Josh, Audra and about half a dozen people who came in for drinks and hung around for 30 minutes before splitting.
As you can see from a photo posted on Duffy's FB page ... there's Josh in his tux and Audra in her wedding dress, and it looks like they're having a good damn time. Our sources say it's possible JD and the missus were bar hopping -- apparently, it's something a lot of people do out there after tying the knot. But it's also possible they were on their way to the reception.
We know they were in town ... 'cause Josh posted a photo from a local brewery in Fargo on Friday.
Assuming they did, in fact, get married -- which certainly seems to be the case -- it's not that surprising that Josh did something this down to earth ... the dude is known for being super humble and not nearly as into the Hollywood lifestyle other celebs are. And with this, he's further proving that he's a salt-of-the-earth kinda guy -- ditto for Audra too!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He'd previously said he didn't want or need much flash when it came to his nuptials -- other than close family and friends, some good tunes ... and, apparently, a shot or two.
Josh and Audra announced their engagement in January, this after being together for since at least late 2019. He was previously married to Fergie, but they divorced the year he met AM. We've reached out to Josh's team for confirmation -- but at any rate ... congrats!!!
