'Empire' Star Tries Cutting Line Shut Down By Security
'Empire' star Bryshere "Yazz" Gray tried pulling the celebrity card big time Saturday night but one security guard just wasn't having it.
We're told Yazz, who plays Hakeem Lyon, was trying to get into Memphis' famous Beale Street ... the only problem? ... He didn't want to stand in line. A witness says there were about 35 people waiting when the actor came out of nowhere and tried going through the street's exit, completely ignoring the line.
Yazz got into it with a security guard before his bodyguard stepped in and took him away.
Luckily for Yazz -- he still left with two hot chicks.

Five Finger Death Punch Singer This Lady Is A Liar ... We Were Never Married
Five Finger Death Punch singer, Ivan Moody, says the divorce papers filed against him don't make sense 'cause he was never married to the lady who filed them.
Ivan's manager tells TMZ ... this is just a shameless attempt by Holly Smith to grab attention ... saying her domestic violence claims are bogus and were dismissed back in July ... and that there's no marriage certificate anywhere.
The manager tells us Holly also made false claims about Moody being the father of her child.
TMZ broke the story ... Holly is filing for divorce and accusing Ivan of trying to strangle her. He was arrested for domestic battery after his hands allegedly ended up around her neck during a dispute over cheating claims. That charge was later dropped.

Young Money Sued Because Lil Wayne's a Bad Sport!!!
Lil Wayne had a front row seat watching Floyd Mayweather beat Manny Pacquiao. He also watched the Ravens beat the 49ers in the 2013 Super Bowl. He even watched the finals of the NCAA Women's Tourney. And he stiffed the ticket brokers ... allegedly.
Tickets of America and White Glove International claim Wayne got $119,400 worth of tickets and never paid a cent.
According to the lawsuit, Wayne got tickets for the following events:
-- Mayweather vs. Pacquiao $67,500
-- Super Bowl XLVII $14,000
-- MTV Video Music Awards $4,000
-- Heat vs. Hawks $11,000
-- Lakers vs. Rockets $11,100
-- Clippers vs. Rockets $11,300
And this is sad ... NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four -- a measly $500.
The suit claims Wayne got the tickets between February 2013 and June 2015.
The suit names Young Money and Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, but not the rapper himself.
We reached out to Wayne. So far no word back.

Rex Ryan Hell Yeah, I'll ... Sign the Geno Smith Puncher
Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan just snatched up the ex-Jets linebacker who busted Geno Smith's jaw ... just 24 hours after he got cut.
Kinda makes sense ... Rex drafted IK Enemkpali 2 years ago while still coaching the Jets, so he clearly thinks the guy has potential. Not to mention, when the Bills play the Jets ... Rex knows he's got a guy with a penchant for hitting their QB.
If IK makes the Bills roster ... the drama will start playing out in early November when the teams meet for the first time. Geno is expected to be off the injured list by then ... so stay tuned.
As they say -- the enemy of my enemy is my best friend.

Jets Geno Smith Punched Out in Locker Room Fight ... Out 6-8 Weeks
Jets QB Geno Smith got punched in the face so hard by a teammate ... he broke his jaw, and will miss several weeks of the season.
The player who busted Geno's jaw is 2nd year linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali -- and the Jets have already cut his ass over the locker room fight.
Jets officials say Geno will be out for 6-10 weeks healing his jaw.
Enemkpali was basically a bench jockey. The 6'1" 260 lbs backup linebacker had a grand total of 3 tackles last season ... so, it's not like he'll be missed.
Smith, on the other hand, was in competition for the starting job. He posted a pic -- his face doesn't look all that swollen -- and promised "I'll be back."

Aldon Smith On-Field Fight with Kaepernick
Aldon Smith got into a scrap with 49ers star Colin Kaepernick earlier this week ... which may have been fueled by ongoing rumors about Smith's ex-girlfriend and the QB.
Multiple Niner locker room sources tell TMZ Sports ... Aldon and Colin had an altercation on the field during a practice on Tuesday, and "players had to pull them apart." It's interesting because there's been a lot of Internet buzz Smith's ex-gf is now with Kaep.
Smith and Hot 97 host Nessa broke up in recent months, and even though she and Kaep have not been photographed together ... rumors they're together have persisted. Our sources say it wasn't clear if Smith and Kaep exchanged any words before the fight broke out ... or if Nessa's name ever came up.
It's a moot issue for the team ... now that the Niners have cut Smith on the heels of his arrest early Friday morning for DUI, hit and run, and vandalism.
