Fights & Feuds

Justin Bieber's not feeling good vibes heading into Coachella weekend, and he put the paparazzi on notice ... calling them out for trying to make a buck off him.

The singer snapped on the photogs as he and some friends hit up a coffee shop in the Palm Springs area Wednesday morning -- one photog merely said, "Good morning" ... and that triggered his rant.

JB marched right up to each photographer -- there were about 4 of them -- and repeatedly accused them of only caring about money, not people.

Madonna and Elton John have finally kissed and made up ... and all it took was her confronting him backstage at "Saturday Night Live."

Madonna says after years of being trashed by Elton in public, she decided she needed to talk to him in person ... and she took advantage of him being in New York City for a musical gig on 'SNL.'

She says she went backstage to confront Elton ... and all the tension died instantly when he saw her and blurted out, "Forgive me." Madonna says Elton's apology made the wall between them fall down, and they hugged.

Seems like Bhad Bhabie is keeping the Alabama Barker drama alive and well ... performing her diss track "Ms. Whitman" for the first time at the PH Day Club in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Check it out ... BB -- dressed in a tight black dress with a plunging neckline -- is in her element as she performs to a packed club, also singing her remix of "Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Daddy Freestyle)" and "OG Crashout" -- another AB diss.

Fans go wild at the end of "Ms. Whitman" ... showing they're all for the beef.

12:56 PM PT -- Bryan Freedman tells TMZ ... "This convoluted statement makes it abundantly clear that Ms. Lively and team are rattled and once again resorting to making inflammatory remarks to steer focus away from the actual facts. Clearly they want to divert the public’s attention from the receipts, the actual documents, video footage and additional evidence shown that make it irrefutable that there was no sexual harassment.

It’s also surprising that Ms. Lively and her team are suddenly speaking so passionately about the hard won rights of the survivor community, considering she sidestepped this topic for the entirety of the film campaign, focusing instead on her hair care and alcohol products which at that time caused the organic backlash that she received. She does not need discovery to find out who smeared her. Just a mirror will do."

Blake Lively is outraged by Justin Baldoni's latest declaration in their bombastic PR war, claiming her former costar thinks sexual harassment victims should NOT be protected under the law.

Here's the deal ... late Thursday, the "It Ends With Us" director clapped back at Blake's attempt to get his lawsuit against her thrown out ... opposing her motion on the grounds she allegedly orchestrated, participated in and directed a smear campaign "designed to ruin the reputations and careers" of his production company.

His attorney also invoked Justin's First Amendment right to drag her into court for making false accusations about him.

Two boaters got into a heated altercation while out on Florida waters earlier this week ... and the confrontation got so intense, cops say they're now investigating the matter.

The incident happened on Tuesday ... when Gage Towles, a fisherman, was approached by Brock Horner, a clearly ticked-off, self-proclaimed charter captain.

In video Towles shared on his YouTube page, you can see Horner appeared upset with Towles over the way he and a few others had interacted with him as he passed underneath the bridge a few days prior.

Drama is unfolding in David Beckham's family, with 2 of his sons beefing over a woman -- not in a jealous way, but more a question of her motives.

Sources connected to the family tell TMZ … Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham are not on speaking terms because Romeo is dating Kim Turnbull.

We're told Kim had a romantic connection with Brooklyn several years ago, but that's all water under the bridge.

Justin Baldoni is clapping back at Blake Lively's attempt to get his lawsuit against her tossed out of court, while once again accusing her of trying to destroy his career, according to new court documents.

Baldoni just filed his response to Blake's motion to dismiss his lawsuit in federal court -- giving several reasons why the judge should not let the actress off the hook.

In the docs, Baldoni accuses Blake of orchestrating, participating in and directing a smear campaign "designed to ruin the reputations and careers of the Wayfarer parties."

A 17-year-old has been charged with one count of murder ... after he allegedly stabbed another 17-year-old during an altercation at a high school track meet in Texas on Wednesday.

Frisco Police said the incident took place at around 10 AM at the Frisco Independent School District's Kuykendall Stadium ... where several students were competing in the University Interscholastic League's (UIL) District 11-5A championship.

According to cops, Frisco Centennial High School's Karmelo Anthony killed Frisco Memorial High School's Austin Metcalf following a dispute at the event.

The Dallas fan who screamed "Fire Nico" in Nico Harrison's face on Monday night says his phone was taken and thrown to the ground shortly after the incident ... and now, he tells TMZ Sports he's planning to file a police report over the whole ordeal.

Chris Taylor said the wild, phone-smashing scene went down at American Airlines Center during the Mavs' tilt with the Nets ... roughly an hour or so after he got in Harrison's grill and stated he should be canned.

Taylor told us team and arena officials approached him and were furious with him over his interaction with Harrison. He says later, a man who he believes was affiliated with them sat down behind him ... and got physical with him when he whipped out his phone to video the scene.

Mark Cuevas is shutting down the cheating allegations levied against him by his estranged wife, Aubrey Rainey, after revealing publicly their relationship was over -- a declaration she's said came as news to her.

The former 'Love Is Blind' contestant tells TMZ he’s stayed quiet until now because protecting his kids and sticking to the truth has always been his priority -- but he wants to make one thing clear: there was no infidelity in his relationship with Aubrey.

Mark tells us he simply left a relationship that wasn’t aligned with the peace and partnership he wants to raise his sons in -- and his focus RN is on being a consistent, integral father.

Kim Delaney and her husband were fighting for two days before getting arrested Saturday and he told police she tried to use her car to hurt him ... at least according to cops.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the "NYPD Blue" actress called the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on Friday night and made a domestic violence report against her husband, James Morgan.

We're told James took off after Friday's alleged domestic disturbance, and when he returned to their home the following morning, Kim called the cops again ... because she didn't want him around.

11:55 AM PT -- The back-and-forth continues ... Brooke Hogan just clapped back at her mother Linda's earlier statement calling her a narcissist.

BH posted a detailed, if reluctant, response on IG, saying she never asked for any of this and was trying to avoid the whole thing, calling out "false claims" made by her mom.

Specifically she addresses Linda's timeline of their relationship, pointing out she has a photo -- which she also posted -- of her mother meeting Brooke's husband, which conflicts with Linda saying Brooke hasn't spoken to her in years ... and she claims Linda deleted something about having "never met my husband and she doesn't even know what his name is." Receipts are crucial.

Linda Hogan -- Hulk's ex-wife -- is denying claims she was ever physically or verbally abusive to her daughter, Brooke ... instead calling Brooke a "narcissist" who attacked her.

The mother-of-two fired back at Brooke's claims in a lengthy Facebook post from just a few hours ago ... claiming narcissism runs deep in the family -- and, both Brooke and Hulk suffer from it.

LH then admits she may have spanked Brooke on one occasion and called her a couple names ... but, claims she never treated her daughter as poorly as she claims -- adding Brooke had a cell phone and could've easily posted all about this alleged abuse back in the day if she wanted to.

Brooke Hogan came out swinging in a statement of her own after her mother, Linda Hogan, tearfully called the Hogan family "the worst mess" and claimed she has no idea why her daughter won't speak to her.

Brooke shared a lengthy note on Instagram Thursday night, explaining she had no contact with her mom after being "EXTREMELY" verbally and mentally abused since her childhood, which she said sometimes turned physical. She also says her mother's behavior in the video she posted Thursday is "mild" compared to what she has witnessed for the "greater portion" of her life.

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ that the physical abuse claims mentioned in her Instagram post were not made by her father, Hulk Hogan.

Further explaining her frustration, the singer and actress says she's been asked to "defend poor behavior to the public and have done so out of love" ... only to learn she was "misinformed, manipulated, and lied to."

LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith can end their feud once and for all with their FISTS ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned a popular boxing promotion is drafting an offer to make a fight happen!!

King James and the ESPN talent have exchanged verbal blows ever since their infamous confrontation at the Lakers game earlier this month ... and on Wednesday, the argument turned to hypothetical violence -- with SAS claiming if LeBron put his hands on him, he would've retaliated with a punch.

After LeBron trolled the hell outta Smith by posting his old training vids, Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman immediately got to work ... and started making calls to rich investors in hopes of putting together the funds needed to lock down a matchup of this caliber.

Bella Hadid may have had a falling out with one of her longtime friends at Paris Fashion Week this month ... 'cause eyewitnesses say the two got into an intense verbal argument -- and, they didn't leave on speaking terms.

The argument allegedly went down at a Yves Saint Laurent after-party on Tuesday, March 11 ... and, eyewitnesses tell TMZ Bella was repeatedly asking Fai Khadra to leave her alone throughout the night.

We're told Fai refused to do so and acted inappropriately toward her ... verbally berating her and raising his hands over her in an aggressive manner.

Mathew Knowles is making it crystal clear -- Kanye West’s controversial antics -- especially those attacking Mathew's family -- won’t fly forever, and it’s just a matter of time before it costs him dearly.

Just days after Ye took an offensive swing at Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s kids during his online ravings, Mathew tells TMZ ... after 35 years in the biz, he knows one thing for sure, "People pay a price for being stupid, especially in the music industry."

The widely held belief is Ye's mental illness is fueling his recent ranting, and Mathew acknowledged that, saying, "I'm hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs, in terms of mental health."
