The rumors were true ... Jermaine Dupri DID wear his pants backwards to Chris Kelly's funeral today as a tribute to the Kris Kross rapper, and TMZ has the pic.

Dupri discovered Kris Kross performing at a mall when Dupri was only 19 years old. Jermaine signed them to his label and helped grow the rap group into international superstars.

Dupri wasn't the only mourner to rock the backward pants look at the funeral -- Kelly's label mate Da Brat also went reverse trousers.

Dupri didn't speak at today's funeral ceremony -- but Kelly's rap mate Chris Smith delivered an emotional speech ... saying, "I know Chris is in heaven."

Selena Gomez believes a lawsuit filed against her by a fragrance co. belongs in the eau de toilette ... because the parfumeurs actually owe HER millions after their business deal fell apart -- TMZ has learned.

As we reported, the perfume company Adrenalina sued Gomez last month, accusing the singer of backing out of an endorsement deal worth millions of dollars ... and leaving Adrenalina up the creek without a spokesperson.

Now, Selena is firing back -- filing her own countersuit against the company, insisting she only backed out of the deal because Adrenalina was going broke ... and couldn't afford to manufacture and market her perfume line.

According to Selena's lawsuit -- filed by her attorney Michael Weinsten -- Adrenalina promised to pay her a 5% royalty on sales of all Selena-brand scents, including a guaranteed minimum of $5.2 million ... but it could barely afford to pay its own employees.

When she found out Adrenalina was going belly up, she claims she terminated the deal to protect her reputation.

Blake Lively is bootylicious.

Wearing an old school Jennifer Lopez diva hat, a '70s black mini-dress and a ridiculously hot pair of open-toed thigh-high boots, the happily married 25-year-old former "Gossip Girl" star strutted her gorgeous blonde and leggy stuff on the streets of New York City on Tuesday.

Apparently the high fashion walk off was all part of some magazine photo shoot, but who really cares about that ... the important thing is that she looks AMAZING!

Damn you, Ryan Reynolds! Damn you.

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn made their relationship red carpet official ... by holding hands at the Costume Institute Gala in NYC on Monday.

This is the sports super couple's first public display of affection since revealing they were bangin' by posting cheesy pics together on Facebook back in March.

In a glimpse of what may lie in their near future, Lindsey wore a virginal white gown as they walked down an aisle together.

Ironically, Tiger's next gig is competing in The Players Championship ... something he knows all about.

Even in May, it can get quite nippy out in New York City ... thanks to Jessica Alba.

While she hasn't been on a TV series in years, the sexy 32-year-old mother of two put on quite the show as she stripped off some of her pesky warm layers and exposed one of her gorgeous girls through her sheer bra on Tuesday.

Although unpredictable, the weather forecast did say partly cloudy with a chance of an amazing, beautiful front moving across the land.

Rockin' a chic maternity floral slipcover, a very pregnant Kim Kardashian camouflaged her growing baby bump and wowed the A-list fashion crowd at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC on Monday.

The theme of the stylish event was punk rock ... and what's more anti-establishment than going as the kouch in your beloved Aunt Sylvia's finished basement in Van Nuys circa 1986?

Hows this for flattery -- Rihanna just tweeted a pic of Nicole Richie with a caption that reads, “This bitch makes me throw up" ... and she meant it AS A COMPLIMENT!

RiRi was commenting on a recent pic of Richie sporting a short grey hairdo (see below) -- taken at the Met Gala, where the theme was "punk."

So how does the vomit comment translate to a compliment? Turns out, Rihanna meant the outfit was "sick" -- in a good way -- and she even included the hashtag, "#bestdressed."

So there ya have it ... next time someone says you make them feel queasy -- just say "thanks."

Bad news for lovers of mustard yellow paint ... Bijan Pakzad's famously gaudy Beverly Hills mansion is officially off the market ... TMZ has learned.

Bijan was famous for owning "the most expensive store in the world", located on Rodeo Drive (where else?) and his pad was just as pricey ... it hit the market last June for $12 million.

But our real estate sources tell us ... after 10 months on the market and 140 showings -- real estate guru David Kramer sold the digs to an affluent L.A. buyer for $9.8 million.

So what do you get for all that green? 6 bedrooms, 12 baths, a $200,000 chandelier made entirely of Bijan perfume bottles, landscaped pool oasis, guest house and a 22-car-garage.

The Atlanta Police Dept. tells TMZ ... they DID NOT give Reese Witherspoon a free hat after her arrest -- in fact, cops say the "A.P.D." cap she was wearing this weekend is nothing more than a CHEAP, UGLY KNOCKOFF!

We spoke to Senior Officer Stanionis from the Public Affairs office of the APD, who told us point blank -- "We did not give her that hat. We have no idea where she got that hat."

"In fact, that’s an awful hat," Stanionis continued ... "Looks like a patch glued onto a hat and it’s not a good one."

Lindsay Lohan was fiending last night ... not for drugs or alcohol ... for expensive designer clothes -- so she hit up Chanel for a last-minute pre-rehab shopping spree.

Lohan -- accompanied by an entourage -- hit up the Chanel store in NYC last night, where she browsed the high-priced inventory ... before leaving with a bag full of new stuff.

As we previously reported, Lohan was SUPPOSED to enter Seafield Center rehab facility in Westhampton Beach, New York this morning ... but she's refusing and we're told she's en route to a different rehab facility in Newport Beach, CA.

Paris Hilton has made it official ... she's dropping her lawsuit against a swimwear/lingerie company and going into business with her former enemy.

As we reported ... Hilton and Le Bonitas were embroiled in a bitter lawsuit last year over a product deal gone bad. Hilton signed a 5-year contract to create a line of lingerie, PJs and swimwear, but the project went South.

LB sued Hilton for more than $200,000 for allegedly blowing off her obligations ... and Hilton (repped by Michael Weinsten) sued back for $1.5 million -- but now the two have made peace, agreeing to a totally new lingerie/swimwear deal.

Paris and LB are now saying their old beef is "water under the bridge."

Decked out in her finest Rihanna chic, Miley Cyrus showed off her long lean 20-year-old legs in a pair of leather short shorts and killer heels as she pumped gas in Studio City on Tuesday.

Like a lot of sunbathers in Europe, Bruce Jenner went topless on the beach in Greece on Monday.

Throwing modesty out to sea, the 63-year-old showed off his smooth and supple Olympic gold medal-winning chest and rippling abs while paddleboarding in a pair of festive high-waisted board shorts on the Aegean Sea.

Kendall isn't the only Jenner showing off in a bathing suit.

Moments after tying the knot in a lavish wedding to his new hot wife Yvette Prieto, Michael Jordan was spotted making a quiet exit in a classy white Rolls-Royce in Palm Beach, FL this weekend.

5:40 PM PT -- Michael Weinsten, an attorney for Selena, tells TMZ the lawsuit is without merit, adding, "Any claim that Selena did not meet her promotional obligations is ridiculous, manufactured after Adrenalina was terminated. Selena will vigorously defend this lawsuit, and will soon bring her own lawsuit against Adrenalina for millions in damages.”

Selena Gomez may smell good to Justin Bieber, but she's downright foul when it comes to honoring her business obligations ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Adrenalina Inc. claims it made a deal with Selena in which the company would develop fragrance products using her name. The company says it did tons of R & D, spending more than $2 million in marketing alone.

The company claims Selena and her agent concocted B.S. reasons to end the relationship, leaving Adrenalina without a spokesperson. Selena allegedly refused to show up for promotions and it screwed with the company.
