'Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsay No Diversity Quota For Me But I Do Want Some Men of Color!
[[omnivirt:video id="6412"]]
Rachel Lindsay doesn't care what kind of men step in for her season of "The Bachelorette" -- black, white, it's all good ... but she does want to see a mix.
We got Rachel at Floyd Mayweather's weekend birthday bash inside the J.W. Marriott, and she told us she isn't looking to overcompensate in diversity for her guys just 'cause she's the 1st black 'Bachelorette.'
That's not to say she does want to see a range of color in her contestants, whom she apparently doesn't have all that much of a choice in picking. She did drop a hint though as to what kind of man COULD win her heart.
And definitely check out the scene around Rachel and our photog -- courtesy of our new 360-degree camera!

We got these shots of the celebs in NYC allegedly returning Thursday from a getaway in his fancy sports car. Diane was all smiles as Norman unloaded the whip. Who knew Porsches had that kinda cargo space?!
Kruger and "The Walking Dead" star have been tight since early 2016 -- even before she split from Joshua Jackson -- but now it looks like they've taken the next step.

NBA's Chandler Parsons And Savannah Chrisley 'Just Good Friends'
Chandler Parsons is NOT in an official relationship with reality star Savannah Chrisley, despite reports to the contrary -- they're just "good friends."
Here's the deal ... people went crazy after the "Chrisley Knows Best" star appeared on "Access Hollywood Live" on Thursday and talked about Chandler when asked about her "new boy."
Her father -- who also appeared on the show -- said he's met (and likes) Chandler but expressed concern about his daughter dating an NBA player.
Well, dad ... don't worry.
Sources close to the NBA star tell us they've definitely hung out -- but they ain't exactly boyfriend/girlfriend.
"Savannah and Chandler are just close friends," one extremely connected source tells us.
"He thinks both she and her dad are awesome and values his relationship with both of them. However, his focus remains on finishing the NBA season strong and gearing up for a deep run in the playoffs."

Amber Rose I'm Not Banging Kevin Durant ... There Was NO Date
Bad news for Kevin Durant ... he's NOT banging Amber Rose, that's according to Amber ... who says the hookup the whole internet is talking about never happened.
There were reports Amber and Kevin had hit up The Nice Guy together on Tuesday night, and a potential romance -- and maybe even a brand new power couple -- was brewing.
But, when we got Amber (who's really, really attractive) out in L.A. Wednesday night, she smashed rumors that she's smashing the NBA All-Star, saying they just happened to be at the same restaurant.
Hear that? It's the rest of the NBA breathing a sigh of relief.

Khloe Kardashian Jumps on Tristan's Nike Train
Khloe Kardashian's got Tristan Thompson's back AND his front ... she's now rocking his favorite gear, and further proving she always pledges allegiance to her man.
The couple hit up a theme park while on vacay in Ocho Rios, Jamaica ... and as you can see, Khloe gives Nike prime real estate. She's also pimping the Swoosh with her kicks.
Tristan's peeps at Nike gotta love seeing this ... since Khloe's got a much wider audience than her NBA bf -- she's got more than 60 million followers on Instagram to his 1.3 mil. You gotta wonder if Tristan's agent will try to squeeze some dough out of Nike.
We've seen it before ... Khloe rocked Adidas when she was with James Harden.

UFC Fighter KOs Ronda Rousey's Boyfriend ... Tries to Steal His Girl
Tough night for Ronda Rousey's boyfriend -- first he gets the snot kicked out of him at UFC Fight Night 105 ... then his opponent hollers at Ronda right in the center of the Octagon!!!
Derrick Lewis beat Travis Browne so badly Sunday night the guy was transported to the hospital immediately following the fight ... but Derrick really went in on the guy in the post-fight interview.
First, he referenced the 2015 domestic violence investigation into Browne (we should note Browne was never charged with a crime) ... and then he called out Ronda.
Judging from the past, Browne isn't one to go quietly ... so we're guessing we haven't heard the last of this one.

Selena Gomez Sick of Being Defined by Boyfriends
Selena Gomez thinks Justin Bieber needs to move on from his obsession with her, and she's vowing never to get lost in the shadow of another relationship ... so say people close to her.
We're told Selena isn't angry at Justin for attacking her new BF, The Weeknd ... we're told she has no connection anymore with her ex.
That said, our Selena sources say she's fed up with everyone on social media trying to define her by the guy she's dating. She's proud of her accomplishments as a singer, and thinks every time she hooks up with someone people ignore her as an artist, a TV producer for a new show, the face of Coach and the most followed person on Instagram.
Selena's already taken steps to keep her identity separate from her boyfriends. She didn't attend last week's Grammys with The Weeknd and is very conscious when she's with him to present herself as her own person.
Speaking of The Weeknd, we're told he's laughing at reports his new song, "Some Way," is a rant against Bieber, taunting him with the relationship with his ex. We're told the song was written before he started dating Selena, so the stories are ridiculous.

Marc Anthony's outdone himself again and wasted NO time doing so -- he scored a model barely old enough to order Jägerbombs, even before his divorce was final.

We're told he called Mariana the next day and they've been together ever since. She's traveled with him to one of his shows, and they've vacationed together in the Caribbean.

Props to tennis star Genie Bouchard ... who's paying off the Super Bowl bet she made with a fan by GOING ON A DATE WITH THE GUY!
Back when the Falcons were up big on the Patriots, Bouchard bet a Pats fan that she would go on a date with him if the Pats came back and won.
They did.
Moments ago, Bouchard met up with the guy in Brooklyn -- where they're going to the Nets game together!
Earlier Wednesday, Bouchard said she's a woman of her word -- and hoped the whole thing wouldn't be too awkward.
Good luck!

He dropped a verse on Toronto rapper Nav's new track, "Some Way" ... and fans are taking it as a diss track against his gf Selena Gomez's ex-bf. He sings about taking someone's chick, and there's this:
"I think your girl, think your girl, fell in love with me. She say my f*** and my tongue game a remedy."
Yeah, definitely a diss. Remember, Justin's been taking all the shots at Weeknd, but score 1 for Abel this time around.
