Michael Jordan Hell No I Don't Approve of Son Dating Larsa Pippen
Michael Jordan has never been one to mince his words, and he's sticking true to form when asked about his son, Marcus, dating Larsa Pippen.
The G.O.A.T (to most) was spotted leaving dinner at Matignon in Paris Sunday when he was asked about 32-year-old Marcus' relationship with 48-year-old Pippen.
At first, MJ just laughs -- but the photog doubles down asking if Jordan approves -- to which Michael offers a resounding "No!" The photog asks again, and MJ just shakes his head no.
Obviously, MJ's take is much different than the story Larsa recently told a few months ago on "The Tamron Hall Show." When asked about her dynamic with Marcus' family, she said, "I feel like, we've spent holidays together and it's good. We're in a great place."
Of course, Marcus and Larsa have been dating for quite some time now. Larsa admitted when they first got together she had him saved in her phone under a different name to prevent anyone from finding out about the couple.
The pairing is an odd one considering Michael's history with Larsa Pippen's ex-husband Scottie Pippen. The pair won several championships over the years in Chicago, but they've since had a drastic falling-out.

Sydney Sweeney Parties It Up in Ibiza ... Fiancé Laying Low BTS
update
4:13 PM PT -- As it turns out, Jonathan was, in fact, with Sydney during this trip ... he was just laying low. Dude popped up on other people's photo dumps ... but not hers.
A little camera shy, eh?
Sydney Sweeney seems to be living her best life this summer -- but the question still kinda remains after this latest development ... is she living her best *single* life???
The actress posted a massive photo dump that shows her partying and enjoying herself during a recent trip to Ibiza -- where she's seen hanging out with friends and hitting the town ... be it in formal-wear, or in a bikini. Indeed, she was rockin' all sorts of looks.
Take a peek at the pics yourself ... Sydney's cheesin' from ear to ear just about every one of them, documenting everything she did -- whether it was poolside loungin, boat-ride sightseeing, surfing or dancing the night away at a concert. SS did all of it and then some.
Obviously, nothing wrong with any of this on its face -- but what becomes evident quite quickly is that her fiancé, Jonathan Davino, is nowhere to be found in the festivities. There is one guy featured who has a passing resemblance to Jon, but it's another dude altogether.
In fact, in some of these shots ... it looks like her engagement ring is also missing -- but that could be explained by the setting some of these pictures were taken in ... including at the pool, where one might presumably ditch such hardware to take a dip.
Point is ... it's interesting that JD is absent from this trip, but not necessarily a smoking gun of her relationship status. Sydney was spotted out on a date night with Jonathan just a few weeks ago in NYC -- where they seemed to be in good spirits and going strong.
She and Jon have actually surfaced a few times over the past several months -- this amid speculation something was going on between her and costar Glen Powell ... whom she shot a movie with, and who looked cozy next to her during a Spring promotional tour.
As far as we know ... she's still on with Jonathan, but man -- Sydney sure does seem unattached here. Hot girl summer, anyone??? 🥵

Anwar Hadid In NYC With New GF ... After Slew Of Alarming Social Media Posts
Anwar Hadid was spotted holding hands with a new GF during a New York City outing ... this after posting troublesome messages last month, which folks thought were all over the breakup with his ex, Dua Lipa.
Gigi and Bella Hadid's little bro stepped out Thursday ... and his hands were locked with what appears to be fellow fashion model, Sophia Piccirilli.
The 2 were clearly in great spirits -- a stark contrast to Anwar's online presence last month.
As we reported, Anwar was in a pretty dark space when he posted some cryptic -- and alarming -- comments on his IG story ... "Trying not to find him and kill him," "I hate the way you say his name," and "I can't breath[e]."
He never called out Dua directly, but it was around that same time the singer was at the Cannes Film Festival with her BF, director Romain Gavras ... so fans connected the dots.
Anwar took issue with the take fans and others had about his rant, posting a profanity-laced response ... though he never clarified if Dua was the subject.
The 2 were linked in 2019, but eventually split a couple of years later.
Regardless, it looks like Anwar's moved on.

Armie Hammer Italian Vacay with Ex-GF ... Kissing, Holding Hands

9:45 AM PT -- Turns out, Armie Hammer's "mystery blonde" isn't such a mystery ... it's his ex-girlfriend, Lisa Perejma. The two reportedly split last year, but it appears they're back on good terms.
Armie Hammer's closed the book on a lot of drama in his life -- and now, he's turning the page with a little summer getaway ... with a new woman in his life.
The actor -- who has mostly remained out of the public eye for the past 2 years -- was spotted out in the Italian city of Santa Margherita Wednesday ... where he was dressed in a breezy outfit, and rocking sandals to boot. He also had company ... of the mysterious blonde variety.
The pair walked down the street, side by side. There weren't a whole lot of other people around -- and doesn't seem like anybody really recognized/bothered 'em.
Eyewitnesses tell us they hit up a little pizzeria that was mostly secluded and tucked away. By the looks of it -- they kinda had the space to themselves. We're told they sipped coffee and chitchatted with one another ... looking totally comfortable and relaxed. They also shared a kiss and held hands so, yeah, it's romantic.
Armie recently settled his divorce with Elizabeth Chambers and the judge is expected to sign off on the divorce soon.
Armie's been cleared after the LAPD investigated him for almost 2 years after a rape allegation, but the case went nowhere. The D.A. turned thumbs-down for lack of evidence, so he's clearly getting on with his life.

Braxton Berrios Addresses Sophia Culpo Breakup ... I Didn't Cheat!!!
Braxton Berrios is finally opening up on his messy split from Sophia Culpo ... and he's claiming all rumors he cheated on her with TikTok star Alix Earle are 100% false.
The Miami Dolphins receiver has been the center of some spicy allegations recently ... with Olivia Culpo's little sister telling her followers he was spotted out in public with Earle shortly before their breakup, leading many to believe he was being unfaithful.
Sophia has been shading the hell outta her ex and his new girl ever since ... and it's gotten to the point where BB took to Instagram to share his side of the story.
"I don't want to start anything, I don't want to fuel anything," Berrios said in a video. "I genuinely want all this to be over and everybody to move on and do whatever makes them happy."
The former Miami Hurricanes star said his relationship with Sophia was good and healthy ... but at the end, they both realized it simply wasn't working out.
"It had nothing to do with anything else," Berrios said of the January breakup. "It had nothing to do with anybody else for that matter. And we just didn't work out, and that's okay."
"I've been quiet because it's totally out of character for me to talk about my private life publicly, but I feel like it needed to be touched on now."
Culpo has since deleted at least one of her fiery posts ... blaming people on the internet for making a big deal out of the whole situation and making it clear she's doing just fine.

Lil Uzi Vert and his City Girls girlfriend JT got into a heated argument during the BET Awards ... with many fans believing Ice Spice is to blame for the fight.
Video circulated of JT from the show Sunday night whacking Uzi Vert with her phone multiple times, accusing him of being a "groupie."
Fans speculated she was pissed about Uzi's performance during the BET Awards where he shouted out Ice Spice, rapping, "I got a nice wife/Wig came off twice/She got a little afro, she looks like Ice Spice."
Sources inside JT's camp tell TMZ Hip Hop her blowup with Uzi had nothing to do with Ice ... she had become frustrated when she lost her seat after the audience shuffled around. We're told JT loves Ice and there's not even a shred of beef between them whatsoever.
A fan recount of the altercation appears to confirm the musical chair's confusion. Ice can also be seen explaining her side of the situation.

Selena Gomez Appears to Unfollow ... Zayn, Hadids & Even Dua Lipa?!?
More social media drama for Selena Gomez -- or so it seems anyway ... especially if you put any stock into her official digital friend count.
The singer is said to have unfollowed a string of famous people of late -- including Dua Lipa, Zayn Malik, whom she was rumored to have been dating in March. Not just that ... but his baby mama, Gigi Hadid, and her sister, Bella, have also been scrubbed from Selena's IG "following" tab.
While it's unclear when Selena might've stopped following these folks, we know for certain they're not there now. And SG was following most (if not all) of them in the recent past.
So the question ... what gives??? And more importantly ... does this actually matter?!?
On its face -- coupled with Selena's history of social media feuds -- it would appear that it does ... especially on the Zayn front. Rumors swirled this past Spring about the two of them seeing each other, not to mention one alleged sighting where they were seen kissing at dinner.
While Selena has since made it clear she's "single" ... the Zayn rumor picked up steam for a while. Obviously, they're both pop stars -- and also seem to run in adjacent circles.
The Hadids and Selena have also palled around over the years -- and as for Dua, she was gushing over Selena just 6 or 7 months ago when asked about the prospect of collaborating with her ... ditto for Selena, BTW, who was quoted as being down in the same article.
Again, we have no idea why Selena unfollowed all of them ... but it points to some kind of falling out, which has been a thing lately for her. Look no further than Francia Raisa ... and let's not forget the whole "mean girls" thing with Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner.
Selena tends to mostly mind her business/do her thing ... but every now and then, she's roped into a social media controversy. Whether she's the one initiating it ... debatable.
Let's play nice, everyone.

Eric Bellinger Brother-In-Law Approval For Meagan Good Dating Jonathan Majors

Exclusive

Eric Bellinger has no qualms with Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good's whirlwind romance, something he's seen up close and personal ... because he's Meagan's brother-in-law!!!
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the R&B maestro in NYC ... he's been married to Meagan's sister La'Myia since 2015, and he informed us he's not only met Jonathan, but thinks he's a helluva swell guy to be around!!!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
We broke the story back in May ... the 2 actors officially became a couple amid Jonathan's assault case with his ex-girlfriend, and Megan was recently spotted supporting him in court, an indication the 'ship is sailing strong.
Eric admits he hasn't inquired about the details of the case, but insists he's seen no reason to grill him ... due to Jonathan's character.
His stamp of approval echoes the thoughts of Meagan's longtime friend and former castmate Robert Ri'chard ... who vouched for her decision-making when we spoke to him on the subject.
Eric just ensured the family has a cordial Thanksgiving ... and also told us he and Chris Brown have new music dropping soon as well!!!

'Cousin Skeeter's' Robert Ri'chard Defends Meagan Dating Majors ... She's a Woman of God!!!
-
Exclusive
- 7.1K shares
Meagan Good has raised some eyebrows in dating Jonathan Majors amid his domestic violence criminal case -- but her old Nickelodeon costar isn't worried one bit.
We got Robert Ri'chard -- who used to costar with Meagan on "Cousin Skeeter" -- out in L.A. Wednesday ... and we cut right to the chase with him, asking if MG is making a mistake by embracing the embattled Majors at such a precarious time.
RR makes no bones about how he feels ... telling us, not only does Meagan have a good head on her shoulders, but that she's a great judge of character ... and has been for years.
He also references her religious background -- MG has been an outspoken Christian for quite a long time now -- and says quite bluntly ... "Meagan is a woman of God." What you can glean from that, it seems, is that she's perhaps seeing something in Jon that others aren't just yet.
5/21/23
Rob also states the obvious ... namely, that people in this country are innocent until proven guilty -- and that Majors deserves his day in court, and for all the evidence to come out first before people jump to any conclusions. Although, frankly, many already have in this case.
As we've reported ... Majors' romance with Meagan took many by surprise, especially in regard to timing. Remember, he's still fighting criminal charges after his ex accused him of hitting her earlier this year ... something he's adamantly denied over and over again.
Since then, we've seen JM and MG all over the world together ... whether it be shopping, dining, and even jet-setting. They seem to be quite simpatico and then some.
It's fascinating that Rob is defending her ... clearly, he knows her well -- and appears quite confident that she knows what she's doing ... and would never put herself in a compromising situation with someone she suspected was a bad dude.
BTW, we would be remiss if we didn't bring up "Cousin Skeeter" itself ... and the prospect of a revival. Trust, we didn't miss the opportunity to get a good scoop here, and we might just have one for fans of the show.
Check out Rob's description of where things are for a would-be reboot ... which brings back the OG cast, including himself and Meagan. On its face, it sounds like it could happen!
No word yet if the puppet itself is down to sign on to another run ... but something tells us Skeet *might* just be down. 😅

Lily-Rose Depp Cheeky Fun In NYC With Girlfriend 070 Shake
"The Idol" star Lily-Rose Depp was spotted giving her girlfriend 070 Shake something to smile about ... having some hands-on fun together in the Big Apple.
LRD and her rapper GF were taking in NYC Sunday, but the busy city wasn't the only thing Shake was focused on -- digging around down Lily-Rose's short, black skirt!
Apart from the grabby embrace, the lovebirds grabbed some lunch at Lure and followed it up with a shopping trip at Balenciaga and The Vintage Twin stores.
For those unaware, Lily-Rose and Shake went Instagram official in May when the actress posted a pic of them kissing on her story, captioning it "4 MONTHS W MY CRUSH."
Since then, they've been spotted smooching at LAX as Lily-Rose returned home from the Cannes Film Festival.
And FYI -- Lily-Rose has been previously linked to the likes of Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet, while Shake's dated singer Kehlani for about a year.
Clearly, these 2 are pretty comfortable around each other -- and can't get enough, too!

Selena Gomez Hey Boys, I'm Single!!! Shoots Her Shot at Soccer Game
Selena Gomez isn't shy about taking risks when it comes to her love life ... announcing to a large group of (possibly) single dudes she's single and sharing the clip with the world.
The pop star posted a TikTok video Thursday, which showed her watching a soccer game while wrapped in a blanket, yelling, "I'm single. I'm just a little high-maintenance. But I'll love you soooo much."
It's clear from the footage Selena was poking fun at her current dating situation, which has been relatively quiet ... but it's clear she's available and looking for Mr. Right.
Selena's fans seemed amused, but also identified with her relationship struggles. Some of them wrote in the comments section, "so relatable," "hilarious," and "so real."
Selena even included a caption that read, "The struggle man lol."
It's not the first time she's joked about her relationship status ... Selena hosted Saturday Night Live in 2022 and talked about it in front of a studio audience, "I would like to say that I'm looking for my soulmate. But at this point, I will take anyone."
Any takers?

Leo DiCaprio & Gigi Hadid Arrive To Same Hotel Mins Apart Gigi Rides w/ Leo's Parents!!!
Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid certainly aren't doing anything to quiet the speculation they're dating ... arriving to the same hotel only minutes apart for a possible rendezvous.
Both Leo and Gigi hightailed it back to London's Chiltern Firehouse Hotel Wednesday ... doing their usual routine of pulling up in separate cars. However, their timing wasn't so sneaky ... with Gigi arriving around 1:16 AM and Leo getting there only a couple minutes after.
What's interesting, Gigi hitched a ride with Leo's Dad George DiCaprio and stepmom Peggy Farrar, entering the hotel from the front. Leo went solo through the backdoor.
One source tells us it was all just a coincidence -- both Leo and Gigi had separate groups of friends inside Chiltern ... but the source couldn't answer why Gigi rode in with Leo's dad.
Of course, this event comes only 24 hours after the two hit up a 20-person dinner party at China Tang organized by Leo's pal British Vogue Editor Edward Enninful. Leo's parents also attended that outing.
As we reported, Leo and Gigi ended their night at the same hotel after that dinner as well.
The two were first linked last September, but neither side has confirmed dating rumors.
The more we see, it appears actions are speaking louder than words, anyway.

Kim Kardashian Trolls Kendall Over NBA Exes ... Wears Mocking T-Shirt!!!
Kim Kardashian clearly has no problem poking fun at her sister's love life, as evidenced by the T-shirt she's flaunting with Kendall Jenner and all of her NBA ex-boyfriends!
The video, featuring Kim K and North West, was posted Sunday from their joint account ... the mommy-daughter duo was seen dancing around, as KK styled North's hair, but fans overlooked all that to focus on Kim's wardrobe.
The shirt in question has a close-up photo of Kendall surrounded by 5 NBA stars -- Jordan Clarkson, Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, Kyle Kuzma, and her most recent ex Devin Booker -- with the text, "Kendall Starting Five" plastered on the front.
You'll recall, Kendall dated Jordan Clarkson back in 2016 when he played for the Lakers, but they wound up breaking up later the same year. The following year, she moved on to Blake Griffin, who currently plays for the Boston Celtics. They called it quits in 2018.
She had an on-and-off relationship with Ben Simmons from 2018-2019 before dating Kyle Kuzma, who is currently with the Washington Wizards. In 2020, she was with current Phoenix Suns player, Devin Booker, until they eventually ended last November.
And, it's not the first time the shirt has made a cameo ... Kim even wore it in the season 3 trailer of "The Kardashians."
Of course, Kendall has ventured off from athletes and is now with Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny. The two have been a thing for a few months now ... and have been spending a lot of time together.
Hey, nothing like sisterly love!!

Taylor Swift It's Over With Matty Healy

Taylor Swift and Matty Healy are shaking it off when it comes to their relationship -- the singers have broken up ... TMZ has learned.
Taylor Swift Split Not Due to Matty Healy Podcast Controversy
According to a friend close to the situation ... Taylor is in fact "single" again, although it's still unclear exactly why they've now split up.
It was a pretty whirlwind romance ... just last month Matty popped up at all 3 of Tay Tay's Nashville concerts, right on the heels of news she and Joe Alwyn had split after 6 years together.
From then on Matty and Taylor were pretty inseparable when she wasn't performing. We saw them out in NYC multiple times -- double dating with her friends, and hitting up a recording studio.
5/20/23
Matty was even spotted sneakin' into Taylor's NYC townhouse, and he hung out with Taylor's dad during her Eras Tour stop in Philly.
Although they just started dating, the artists have known each other since 2014 ... when Taylor went to a concert for his band, The 1975.
They haven't been seen in public together since May 25 when they were out on a dinner date.
1/12/23
We still don't know exactly when the breakup went down, but there was a big clue things were over when The 1975 performed this weekend in Denmark.
Matty had a history of kissing random people in the crowd, but during a January concert -- which Taylor was attending -- he said he was putting the kibosh on that move.
Well, lo and behold, during this weekend's concert he locked lips with a security guard. Talk about single and ready to mingle!!!
Of course, that goes for Taylor too.
We covered it all in the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Shakira Still Living Life in Fast Lane ... With Lewis Hamilton After F1 Race
Shakira and Lewis Hamilton may be a thing after all -- 'cause she keeps going to his races, and hanging out after ... which is exactly what happened again this weekend.
The Colombian singer actually returned to her old stomping grounds for Sunday's F1 Spanish Grand Prix to see Lewis up close and in person -- and her guy didn't disappoint.
Lewis, driving for Mercedes, matched his best finish of the year as he came in 2nd.
After the race, he credited his team, saying he felt he'd driven the best car of the season -- but ya gotta wonder if he had a little extra incentive with Shakira there.
Anyway, he was all smiles at the podium ... which turned into a post-race hang with a bunch of his friends, including Shakira, who joined him and his crew for dinner and drinks.
She was even sitting right next to LH -- and if you look close ... you can see his arm wrapped around her.
Lewis has his other arm hanging over his buddy to his right ... so this could just be platonic. However, considering he and Shakira recently did this same thing after the F1 race in Miami, this latest sighting is sure to raise some eyebrows among shippers.
The contact doesn't seem like anything on the verge of PDA, per se ... but it's right on the border between friendly and maybe more than friends. Eye of the beholder, we suppose.
In any case, Shakira certainly likes being in Lewis' company. Not only did they reportedly get cozy at the Miami Grand Prix last month -- but they ended up on the water together too ... which effectively thwarted any chances of Tom Cruise getting with Shakira.
You'll recall ... there were rumors TC was actually interested in courting her -- but it looks like she's got her sights set on Lewis, whom she continues to be seen with in public.
Shakira is probably the most eligible bachelorette on the planet right now -- thanks to her split from Gerard Piqué -- and so far, there's one dude in first place for her attention.

Leo DiCaprio Overnight Yacht Stay w/ 22-Y-O Model ... Friend of Gigi Hadid's!!!
Leonardo DiCaprio's summer European yacht excursion is still rolling -- only this time, he had female company ... specifically, one hot model, who's actually pals with Gigi Hadid.
The 48-year-old actor was on a boat again this weekend ... except now, he was sailing off the coast of Ibiza -- and he was doing so with none other than 22-year-old Meghan Roche ... an American high-fashion model who's worked with pretty much all the big luxury brands.
As you can see in these shots, Leo and Meghan got out of the same SUV together as they were set to board Saturday ... and they weren't joined by anyone else, it seems. They also weren't really hiding the fact they were in lockstep with one another ... just out in the open.
It appears Meghan spent the night with Leo 'cause there's pics from the following day (Sunday) where she's in a different outfit completely. As for Leo, he was back to going shirtless/catching rays -- which he's been doing a lot of on this extended Euro trip.
No clear signs of PDA between 'em from what we can see ... but this certainly kicks off a new round of romance rumors -- this after the guy's been officially single for well over a year now post-Camilla Morrone. It might also finally dispel the Gigi speculation once and for all.
As you know ... there's been a lot conjecture about him hooking up with GH over the past several months -- although it's unclear where things stand now -- but as it turns out ... he might just be banging her buddy. Meghan's been spotted out with Gigi before.
Of course, it'll take more than a night with a young, hot model to actually say Leo's dating her. He tends to hang out with models all the time -- so this doesn't really mean much until we see them again ... and again. Still, though, she's right in Leo's wheelhouse as far as taste.
The dude doesn't typically get involved with women much older than 24 or 25, and she's right in that sweet spot. Plus, naturally, she's a beaut -- and a rising star in modeling at that.
Summer love is in the air ... and Leo might just have a new boo thang. That, or another fling -- whatever works. 😅
