NeNe Leakes I'M BACK!!! 'RHOA' Is Soo Boring Without Me

Published | Updated

NeNe Leakes is eating her words ... returning to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' this season, even though she declared there was no chance she'd go back.

Leakes surprised the cast when she showed up to their retreat in Jamaica. We're told none of the ladies knew NeNe was coming back and her surprising entry even left some of the ladies speechless. No small feat.

Our sources say producers phoned NeNe earlier this month, pleading with her to come back because the storylines were lacking excitement so far this season. In a nutshell: We suck, please help.

NeNe agreed to do it because the price was right this time, and it didn't affect the shooting schedule on her new game show.

We're told NeNe's episodes will air toward the end of the season.

11:58 AM PST -- A rep for AB is now revealing the rapper had complications from ongoing hernia issues from his powerlifting days.

Action Bronson underwent emergency surgery in an Alaskan hospital ... hours after he sampled a ton of unique delicacies ... including caribou and whale.

Bronson was in the Great White North to shoot his food web series, "F**K, That's Delicious," when he landed in the hospital. A rep for the NYC rapper wouldn't say why AB needed surgery ... but told us, "he's good" after the operation.

On a possibly related note -- Bronson's been devouring an Alaskan smorgasbord of things like Bowhead whale, Beluga whale blubber, and raw caribou meat.

TO RUSSIA, WITH LOVE

It's official ... boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. is now a full Russian citizen -- with a passport to prove it.

Roy had personally asked Vladimir Putin to get him citizenship back in August so he could do more business in Russia ... business that includes boxing and promoting other fights.

Putin obliged ... and on Tuesday, Jones Jr. got his passport -- which he flaunted around Moscow while draped in a Russian flag. He thanks Putin for making it happen.

But Jones says he still bleeds red, white and blue and hopes the move will unite his two favorite countries -- "I'm happy to bring the U.S. and Russia together in the ring."

Jones is scheduled to fight Welsh bigman Enzo Maccarinelli in Russia on November 28th -- we're guessing Putin will have front row seats.

Johnny Manziel NFL Contacts Police In Domestic Violence Probe

Published | Updated

The NFL has contacted the Avon Police Department as part of its investigation into the Johnny Manziel domestic violence investigation ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke with Chief Bosley of the Avon Police Department who tells us ... "We have been in contact with the NFL." Bosley says the NFL initiated the contact.

As for what investigators asked for ... Bosley says, "I wouldn't want to give details about the communication because although it is not a criminal investigation, I wouldn't want to compromise what they are doing."

As we previously reported, Manziel's girlfriend Colleen Crowley told cops Johnny hit her a "couple times" during an October 12th incident near Cleveland.

Despite an injury to her arm, cops did not arrest Manziel claiming there was "not enough to pursue prosecution."

But he could still face punishment from the NFL -- fines or suspension -- if the league decides he violated its personal conduct policy ... which doesn't require as high a standard of proof.

ABC Family Star Hospitalized ... Halloween Costume Catches Fire

Published | Updated

"Baby Daddy" star Jean-Luc Bilodeau had to be rushed to a hospital after his Halloween costume went up in flames in the middle of a party.

Sources confirm Bilodeau was at co-star Tahj Mowry's party Saturday night when his alpaca costume -- made out of cotton balls and lycra -- caught fire. Paramedics transported the ABC Family star to a nearby hospital to get treatment for burns on his arms and legs.

Bilodeau's rep says the actor got too close to an open flame, and it was curtains for his alpaca suit. He's still in the hospital, but expected to make a full recovery ... according to his rep.

Mowry's party had lit tiki torches scattered around the backyard. Recipe for disaster.

Drake I Know When That ... Birthday Bling!!!

Published | Updated

Drake's putting a new twist on the ole classic Jesus piece ... with his new "6 God" ice.

Drizzy turned up for his 29th birthday Saturday at Omnia Nightclub in Las Vegas, and one of his gifts was a diamond and gold chain from his fave jewelers ... Dave Bling and Will Da Boss of DWS Jewelry & Co.

Dave and Will tell us the pendant -- two hands clasped in prayer next to a 6 -- was inspired by Drake's song "6 God" off the album, "If You're Reading This It's Too Late." And even though it's not huge in size, it's worth a sweet $15k!

Even in October ... still so hot up in the 6.

Kourtney Kardashian Date With New Man ... But Disick On the Brain

Published | Updated

Kourtney Kardashian did dinner with a new man Sunday night -- in a very single mom kinda way -- and instead of romance ... Scott Disick was likely the main topic of conversation.

Kourtney was at Toscanova in Calabasas with two of her kids, Mason and Penelope, and the apparent suitor, whose name is Chris Reda. He's a good friend of Scott's, who's visited him in rehab recently ... according to our sources.

So there's a good chance he was just giving Kourtney an update.

Ultimately, Kourtney's recent night out in WeHo with Justin Bieber was probably more romantic than dinner with Chris.

THE WORK OF ART

Rick Ross is a forgiving boss ... 'cause even though LeBron James took his talents back to Cleveland, the rap superstar is making a royal gesture that proves he's still down with the king.

Ross is building a new basketball court in his Atlanta mega-mansion ... and when it was time to choose greats to grace his floor, he picked a usual suspect ... Michael Jordan ... and a wild card ... LeBron James.

Why is James a wild card? Ross is a HUGE Miami Heat fan ... so you might think he'd be done with LBJ being that LeBron spurned MIA to return to his Ohio home last year.

He ain't done ... so much so that when we spoke to Jay Mack -- the artist tasked with creating the LeBron and Jordan murals -- he told us Ross moved heaven and earth ... flying him down personally to do the arduous month long job of getting the hardwood homages done.

Next legends to grace the court? Jay says Kobe and Shaq.

First time they'll peacefully share the court in about 15 years.

Kobe Bryant In NBA2K16 'Visit Sick Friend' Option ... 'Just a Coincidence'

Published | Updated

It seemed like a joke in the wake of the Lamar Odom incident -- but apparently, the option to "visit sick friend with Kobe Bryant" is a real thing in the NBA2K16 video game.

Of course, Bryant really did "visit sick friend" in Vegas last week when he raced to the hospital to be with his friend Lamar Odom.

So, when images from the NBA2K16 video games started making the round on social media -- many people thought it was just a joke in bad taste to mock the situation.

Turns out, it's real -- with a rep for the company behind the game telling TMZ Sports, "This is a real thing."

The rep says the outing with Kobe is an option in the "MyCareer" game mode where players can do a variety of things including visiting friends and attending events.

"This just happens to be very coincidental given recent events."

We're told the company has no plans of pulling the Kobe option from the game.

Lil Wayne & Christina Milian Exes Who Grind

Published | Updated

Christina Milian and Lil Wayne still have their hands all over each other, a month after their break-up ... but it's all in a day's work.

Wayne grinded with a barely dressed Christina on the set of her new music video for "Do It." The video was shot last week in Miami and judging by photos it's hard to believe it's more business than pleasure.

Still, sources tell us they aren't getting back together, but remain friends ... so working this closely is not a problem. We're told the chemistry will always be there.

Easy to see why ...

Published | Updated

Lyft couldn't make flying cars happen in time for "Back to the Future" Day but it created the next best thing -- McFly mode, where customers get carted around NYC in a DeLorean!!

A rep from the rideshare company tells TMZ they searched high and low for the vintage whips Marty McFly and Doc Brown rode into the future -- which is today, Oct. 21, 2015.

We're told Lyft and Verizon shipped the cars to NYC, along with their owners, who drove customers around town ... some even dressing up like McFly or Doc. Best of all -- the rides are free ... but good luck getting one.

Janet Jackson She's in Control of Instagram

Published | Updated

12:15 PM PT -- Good news for pissed off Janet fans ... an Instagram spokesperson tells us only "repeat infringers" should've had their accounts deleted, but a bug resulted in accounts getting deleted that should not have been. We're told the bug has been fixed, and IG is in the process of reinstating users who were incorrectly affected.

Together again.

If you see Janet Jackson in concert and shoot a video -- warning: keep it off Instagram or there will be hell to pay, as in ... your content being deleted out from under your nose.

Several Janet fans are claiming their IG accounts were completely taken off the grid without warning after they posted video from one of JJ's "Unbreakable" tour stops.

IG sent out an email to the account holder saying their uploads violated copyrights. Since the copyright on Janet's music would belong to her and/or her label ... it seems like her camp is behind the crackdown.

Some Janet fans aren't taking it well, since they're also losing non-Janet content. As one put it ... "Definitely boycotting Janet Jackson in concert & Instagram until this is resolved."

That might be a while. Some users got a message saying their account has been permanently deleted. Translation: Your IG friends are gonna ... miss you much.
