Tommy "Tiny" Lister -- best-known for playing Deebo in the "Friday" movies -- got a visit from cops after his girlfriend's live stream captured him arguing with her and smacking a phone out of her hands.
Police in Chandler, Arizona tell TMZ ... officers responded to a domestic disturbance call at the actor's home this week for a verbal altercation between Tiny and a woman.
We're told no one was arrested, and neither party wanted to press charges, but as you can see in the video ... Tiny and the woman were bickering during a car ride home. Several times during the argument he tries to swipe the phone away. While they were in the garage, he lunged at her and she screamed, "don't f***ing hit me!"
There's nothing "Tiny" about Tommy ... he's 6'5" and still looks like the neighborhood bully he played in "Friday."
Tiny tells TMZ ... he never put his hands on the woman and was only trying to get the phone out of her hands. For the record, he calls the woman his "girlfriend," and adds ... he and his wife are separated, but not divorced.
As for the argument ... Tiny says he was upset because she kept egging him on. He claims police looked at the video and advised him to get a restraining order against her.
Seems pretty obvious, but he tells us she's now his ex-GF ... they're breaking up.

Anna Faris Sure, I Love My New BF!!! But Will I Marry Him? Umm ...
Anna Faris doesn't seem so sure about getting hitched again -- but it's not because she doesn't love her new BF... she's just not in love with the institution of marriage.
The actress revealed her hesitations about getting married for a third time while sitting down with Disso Queen Laura Wasser for her podcast, "Divorce Sucks!" Laura asks her point blank -- wedding bells with Michael Barrett, Anna's new bae of about a year and a half?
Check out Anna's response ... she doesn't answer definitively one way or another, but does seem to be leaning more on the "no" side than "yes."
Her reasoning ... Anna says she's got issues with the legal implications of getting married on paper, although she does note that she believes in monogamy and commitment. That idea's not so new -- tons of celebs have long-term relationships without ever tying the knot.
Anna's talk on another potential marriage comes a week after she told Laura that her ex-hubby, Chris Pratt, gave her a heads-up that he was gonna propose to Katherine Schwarzenegger.
Sounds like Anna's navigating post-divorce life pretty well all things considered. It also sounds like she doesn't want to do it again if she doesn't need to.

Rita Ora Accepts Date With Russian 'Bachelor' ... But Her Manager Won't Set Them Up!!!

EXCLUSIVE

Rita Ora is totally down for a night on the town with hunky Russian 'Bachelor' Alex Sparrow, but there's a huge problem ... her manager is standing in the way.
Alex -- a textbook thirst trap who also won the Russian version of 'X Factor' -- says on the "Hidden Truth Show with Jim Breslo" he met Rita a couple of months ago at the American Music Awards, where he asked her out. According to Alex, Rita said yes, but he's still waiting for their big date.
The holdup ... Alex didn't ask for Rita's digits -- he wanted to be respectful, so he got her manager's number instead, and now there's been nothing but radio silence.
Alex is shooting his shot once again ... he's hoping Rita's management team catches wind and hits him up to facilitate the date.
It's easy to see why Rita would go out with Alex ... on top of his dashing good looks, he's a star in Russia, with 3.7 million Instagram followers and millions of views on his YouTube music vids.
We kinda feel bad for Alex, but then again it's kinda his fault ... c'mon bro, why didn't you just ask for Rita's number?!?

Olivia Culpo Just Me & My Girls for Beach Day ... No Amendola Required
Olivia Culpo is back in her natural habitat on Miami Beach, but this time she's hittin' the sand without her on-again-off-again beau, Danny Amendola -- which you couldn't care less about right now.
The former Miss Universe made Thursday a sun day with some gal pals -- including model Devon Windsor -- but she stole the show with her red two-piece bikini. Olivia definitely seemed aware of the cameras too, since she got in tons of different positions ... as if she were doing an impromptu photo shoot.
It's interesting that Olivia's back in Miami without Danny, with whom she's been hot and cold since this past fall. He's no longer a Dolphin -- dude got shipped out to the Detroit Lions earlier this month. Bummer for him ... that's a lot less beach time with Olivia.
In the meantime, you can still enjoy the view.

John Cena New Year, New Brunette Hottie Moving On From Nikki
John Cena is back on the dating scene ... hanging with a mystery hottie in Canada and, apparently, putting his ex-fiancee Nikki Bella firmly in the rearview.
We got this shot of the WWE superstar out on the town with an unknown -- for now -- brunette in Vancouver, and they're clearly having a great time together. Not only were they cozied up, arm-in-arm together ... but the photo agency that spotted them says they enjoyed a 4-hour dinner date!!!
This was their post-meal stroll ... and a pretty romantic one at that.
John's in Vancouver filming a new project, "Playing With Fire." The timing of his new playmate's debut is interesting. We've been seeing Nikki in California hanging with her new bae, dancer Artem Chigvinsev.
We broke the story ... Nikki says she's NEVER getting back with John, and based on this pic ... he seems to be just fine with that.

Cory Booker on Rosario Dawson My Boo's First Lady Material ... And Then Some!!!
Cory Booker says the future is very, VERY bright for him and Rosario Dawson ... and it'll be downright blinding if she joins him in The White House.
We got the Jersey Senator and presidential hopeful leaving NBC in NYC Friday, and when we ask him if his girlfriend will join him at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in D.C. if he's elected Prez -- even if they're unmarried -- Cory goes into all-out dote mode.
It's hard to keep up with all the adjectives Booker drops to lovingly describe Dawson, but the bottom line -- he believes she'd be an amazing First Lady ... and the first of her kind.
We broke the story ... Rosario confirmed last week she and Cory are dating and in love, gushing about her man just as much as he does her. She didn't say much about becoming First Lady, but clearly ... the Senator can talk enough for the both of them about that.
BTW -- Booker and our camera guy apparently go way back ... and he's got his vote already.

Drake's Baby Mama IG Vid with Drizzy Look-Alike ... Clout-Standing Move!!!
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 2.5K shares
Drake and his baby mama get along great and co-parent like champs, but they're not on romantic dinner date terms ... despite a video she posted that made it seem like they are.
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Sophie Brussaux has been hanging out with a Drizzy doppelganger lately, and it was no accident she shared a quick shot of the guy on social media last week ... just hours after she attended Drake's Paris concert.
We're told those around Sophie believe it was a calculated move to gain some clout by making it seem like she and Drake break bread together. It worked too -- several media outlets reported Drake had dinner with Sophie that night.
Our sources say that's definitely not the case, and confirm the dude in the vid is just a bearded, light-skinned look-alike.
It's interesting, because as we reported ... Drake rolled out the red carpet for Sophie in Paris by granting her an all-access VIP pass, and they've had a positive relationship for their son, Adonis.
Seems unnecessary for her to pretend it's more than that. Then again ... gotta get them likes!!!

'Bachelor' Alum Lauren B. Flaunts Ripped Bod ... Maui Vacay with BF Chris Lane!!!
'Bachelor' alum Lauren Bushnell and her country star BF are putting their bods on display and, perhaps, sending a message to their fans: skip Taco Tuesday, get your ass ready for summer!
Lauren B. and Chris Lane are soaking up some rays while on vacay in Maui. They played a little corn hole and looked every bit the perfectly fit couple. She wore the hell out of a navy blue bikini ... and laughed it up with the "Take Back Home Girl" singer, who kept it cool with board shorts, shades and a cap.
BTW ... Chris most definitely looks familiar to 'Bachelor' fans. He performed his hit song, "For Her," on Nick Viall's season.
Lauren, of course, was the winner on Ben Higgins' season but they split back in May 2017. A little over a year later, she started dating Chris, whose previous GF was Lauren Barr ... another 'Bachelor' hopeful from Ben's season. Yeah, Chris has a type.
He and Lauren started dating last November and it looks like they're still going strong.
Just like their bods.

Travis Scott Record-Breaking Performance ... $1.7 Million Los Angeles Tour Stop

EXCLUSIVE

If Travis Scott's gonna have to wait to repair his relationship with Kylie Jenner because they're both too busy ... at least he's making a ton of money in the process.
We're told Travis has joined some elite company after his February 8 Astroworld concert at The Forum sold out and grossed a whopping $1.7 million. Yup, nearly $2 million for ONE SHOW. We're told he sold more than 16,300 tickets.
This is huge for Travis because the sellout means Travis is only one of a few artists to have repeat sellouts at The Forum in a 12-month period. He also sold out shows on December 19 and 20.
To put this feat in perspective ... Travis now joins legends like Garth Brooks, Juan Gabriel, The Grateful Dead, Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga, Sting and Michael Jackson to accomplish repeat sellouts since 1990. And, get this ... the $1.7M is the highest-grossing, single-night engagement of the Astroworld tour. #Goosebumps
But, while the rapper continues stockpiling career accolades, it's been rocky waters at home.
As we first reported ... Travis and Kylie haven't had a chance to fully repair their relationship after she accused him of cheating, largely in part to each building their own empires.
For what it's worth ... Travis has just 10 more dates left on his tour.

Pete Davidson & Kate Beckinsale Kickstart My Heart ... & Show Me Your Wild Side
Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale seem to be in the midst of a full-blown rock 'n' roll romance -- so why not crash a Motley Crue party while you're at it?
The 'SNL' star was spotted leaving an MC gig Monday night on the Sunset Strip at the Whiskey a Go Go, where Tommy Lee and co. were celebrating the premiere of their biopic, "The Dirt." He was holding Kate's hand and leading the way again ... that's kinda their signature look together lately.
Considering what's new with Motley Crue and who's involved, it's no wonder Pete and Kate were there. His buddy, Machine Gun Kelly, stars as Tommy in a new Netflix movie about the band called The Dirt. The movie premiere took place before their shindig.
It must've been a feel-good time, 'cause Pete and Kate were in the mood to make out right afterward. They sure didn't hesitate once they were in their car.
Things appear to be going swell for these two since getting together last month, and there's no sign of them slowing down as of yet. Too fast for love? Eh, who's to say?

EXCLUSIVE

Nicki Minaj did not secretly walk down the aisle with bad boy boyfriend Kenneth Petty, despite recently referring to him as her "husband."
As you know ... the rumors started kicking into overdrive after Nicki called her new man her "husband" on the latest episode of "Queen Radio."
Sources close to Nicki tell TMZ ... she's very much in love with Kenneth, but any reports saying they're married are false ... despite what she said.
We broke the story ... the superstar rapper is considering getting hitched to Kenneth -- and they are talking marriage after just a few months of dating -- but we're told they haven't jumped the broom.
As for Kenneth's checkered history with the law, which includes convictions for first-degree attempted rape and manslaughter, we're told Nicki doesn't care about his troubled past because he treats her great ... and she's tired of people bashing him.
Bottom line ... Nicki calling Kenneth her hubby is kinda like Travis Scott calling Kylie Jenner his "wife" ... although that seems to be on shaky ground these days.

EXCLUSIVE

Rosario Dawson's all in on Cory Booker for President in 2020, but she might be a little biased ... because she just confirmed with us ... they're in a serious, loving relationship!!!
The actress was at the Reagan National Airport in D.C. Thursday when our guy quizzed her on what's been widely rumored -- she's the woman Booker referred to last month on the Breakfast Club when he said he was dating someone very special, while adding, "I got a boo."
It didn't take much prodding before Dawson said it was true and began gushing over her man, calling him an amazing human being and saying their relationship is a wonderful thing.
She continued ... "I am just grateful to be with someone that I respect and love and admire so much," and added several more doting words to describe the presidential hopeful.
Speaking of that ... Rosario says Cory would be an amazing Prez, and she's pushing him with a campaign button.
As for whether wedding bells are on the horizon, making her potential First Lady material ... she's not quite ready to say.

Amber Heard Besame Mucho!!! Locks Lips w/ Argentine Bae
Amber Heard is getting it ... with "It" director Andy Muschietti.
Amber and her new BF came up for air after hanging out Wednesday in L.A. The actress was all smiles before the 45-year-old director from Argentina packed on some serious PDA. Andy, of course, was the main man behind the movie inspired by Stephen King's 1986 horror novel.
Amber looked pretty biz caj ... with a tan trench coat, black dress and matching boots. Pretty elegant too, with a YSL handbag. BTW ... it appears she's moved on from her last fling ... with art dealer Vito Schnabel. They went public last July at the Wimbledon Championship but her smooch with Andy seems to signify Amber and Vito's relationship has gone kaput.
Amber's got a lot on her plate lately with Johnny Depp's latest legal battle. As we first reported ... the actor filed legal docs citing new evidence he never beat Amber when they were married.

Channing Tatum & Jessie J Spotted in London Hand in Hand on Jaywalking Date
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are both officially on the move with their new flames ... Channing's finally been spotted out with Jessie J.
The "Magic Mike" actor and singer took a stroll Thursday in London, with big smiles on their faces. It's one of the first times we've seen Channing and Jessie together in public ... after a LOT of juicy speculation.
As you can see -- they looked pretty into each other as they jaywalked across a road and waded into a bike lane while across the pond -- but lucky for them, traffic seemed to be nonexistent.
Meanwhile, back at home, Jenna's been doing her thing as well with her new BF, Steve Kazee. They recently took Jenna and Channing's daughter, Everly, on a Disneyland trip ... just the three of them.
Looks like the conscious uncoupling thing is going swell for these two exes since their big split. Good for them.

Ben Affleck & Lindsay Shookus Back Together ... On a Walk to Remember
Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus are reunited ... and it looks so good!
The former couple was back together Monday night, taking a stroll through L.A. ... and they sure seemed to be happy to be in each other's company. Nothing beats an evening walk with your former bae ... who's sure looking like she's back to full-blown bae status.
Ben and Lindsay started hanging out again last month ... after splitting up last summer. They're already back to doing public events together too. The couple was super tight in NYC last week as they flew back to the west coast after one of his premieres.
Not much PDA during their L.A. walk, but we're still ready to call this romance rekindled.
After all, they've got some history, and now that Ben's clean ... why not go full steam ahead? We're guessing, anyway.
Not everyone's looking to be single for the summer.
