Gossip / Rumors

10:55 AM PT -- Drake's rep just issued a statement about the incident, insisting Drizzy wasn't involved in the brawl at all ... the beef was between CB and another rapper named Meek Mill.

10:15 AM PT -- A witness who was inside the club tells TMZ ... Chris Brown did NOT send any bottles over to Drake's table, despite several reports to the contrary.

We're told both Brown and Drake had been hanging out in the VIP section ... when Drake began pointing and yelling at Brown.

Brown began yelling back ... and that's when members of both entourages rushed in and began shoving each other.

With tensions running high, someone threw a bottle -- which set the whole thing off ... and the shoving turned to punches.

We're told club security rushed in to break up the fight ... and called police for backup. Brown and Drake left the scene by the time cops showed up ... but several members of their entourages remained at the club. Multiple members of both crews required medical assistance.

We're told the club suffered some serious damage in the fight -- including busted up tables, broken mirrors, shattered lighting and glass scratches all over the floors.

Chris Brown sustained a nasty gash on his chin -- apparently a wound from a bottle attack -- after his entourage allegedly clashed with Drake's crew in a NYC nightclub brawl.

TMZ has confirmed with the NYPD that the two singers' crews got into a fight at WIP nightclub -- 5 people were injured in the melee.

NYPD arrived on the scene after receiving a call between 4 and 5am. Chris and Drake were not present when cops arrived.

A picture of Chris Brown's Transformers-themed SUV taken after the fight has surfaced -- with what appears to be blood splattered on the back.

And now -- undeniable proof Kim Kardashian is NOT the owner of the beautiful bare ass Kanye West allegedly tweeted early Wednesday morning ... proof that comes in the form of incredibly bizarre body piercings.

Porn star Amia Miley has already taken ownership of the pic in question -- a perfectly tanned rear-end snapped inside some fancy hotel room -- but people have been clamoring for proof to back her claim ... so she's decided to deliver.

Amia was out in L.A. yesterday with her "Jersey Shore" star boyfriend The Unit -- where she showed us her unusual (hot) piercings on her wrists and back ... piercings that match up with those in the infamous photo ... and which Kim Kardashian does NOT possess.

Check out the clip for the real story behind the pic.

For the record, Kanye has publicly denied ever tweeting the pic, saying he doesn't even recognize the girl in the photo.

Now we ask the obvious question ...

Kris Humphries sicked his lawyer on the fancy New York City hotel his ex-girlfriend works at, telling the manager that Myla Sinanaj ran a brothel out of the hotel and had sex with hotel guests ... so claims Myla's lawyer.

Joe Tacopina, who now reps Myla, tells TMZ ... Kris and his lawyer have been on a search and destroy mission against his client, trying to hide the fact that they have been in a relationship for 5 months.

Tacopina says Kris' lawyer called the hotel manager last week and made the claims. Tacopina believes Kris and his lawyer wanted to get Myla fired, to make a point that she had better shut her mouth about her relationship with Kris ... or else.

By the way, sources connected with Kris confirm his lawyer made the call.

We're told hotel management investigated and quickly determined the allegations were baseless.

Tacopina tells us ... a defamation case against Kris now looms large, and he had better apologize quickly for what he says is shameful, vindictive conduct.

A picture of a naked woman scarfing down a meal and looking suspiciously like Kim Kardashian was posted on Twitter last night ... and word circulated Kanye West was the one who originally tweeted it.

We've done our due diligence, and here's what we found. First, the woman in the pic appears to be porn star Amia Miley. Miley tweeted the same photo of herself on her twitter account in 2011, and she tells us it's her. She also says she's never hooked up with Kanye.

Second, although the pic has been sent around with credit to Kanye, we've learned it was never posted on Kanye's account. A source close to Kanye confirms ... he didn't do it.

We're told it's all part of #WanksterWednesday -- a prank day where people try to get bogus rumors started.

Nonetheless ... we likey the pic.

1:24 PM PT: Kanye's rep just emailed us a statement, claiming the pic is NOT Kim K -- saying, "This phantom tweet never occurred on his account. This is obviously the desperate, sad act of someone seeking to gain media exposure by exploiting Kanye’s notoriety."

The rep adds, "Kanye doesn’t even know this person, has never seen this picture, and hasn’t been on his Twitter account for a day.”

Another clue Rihanna may be getting back together with Chris Brown ... the two partied at the same club at the same time last night ... AGAIN.

Chris and Rihanna were spotted at Avenue nightclub in NYC. Sources at the club tell us the two were in the club together for roughly 30 minutes ... and Brown spent some time hanging out at Rihanna's table.

They exited the club separately ... but within minutes of each other ... and both were tight-lipped about what happened inside.

The exes have been linked together several times already this year ... laying down song tracks ... showing up at birthday parties and hanging out at nightclubs in West Hollywood.

This photo of Erin Andrews in a bikini ignited another WAR in the TMZ newsroom ... after one staffer suggested parts of the ESPN reporter were simply too good to be true ... specifically, her massive boobs.

Erin took her gravity-defying twins out for a swim in Miami this weekend ... and while they're definitely spectacular, are they real??

We dug up another cleavage-baring pic from an event Erin attended in 2009 to compare ... and now we just gotta ask ...

Snooki's ex-BF Emilio Masella is adamant ... he's not the mastermind behind the naked Snooki photos that leaked onto the Internet last week -- telling TMZ, he never even saw them before they hit the web.

In case you haven't checked out the pics -- they're basically a bunch of selfies taken inside a hotel room. Snooki's standing in front of a mirror in various states of undress, grabbing her boobs, etc -- pretty tame compared to some episodes of "Jersey Shore."

But Emilio insists he wasn't on the receiving end of the pictures -- claiming it must have been a more recent flame based on Snooki's body. Emilio didn't say what clues gave away the time frame.

Kris Humphries was once again spotted on the beach in Miami with a mystery girl ... but TMZ has already cracked the mystery.

The girl is Kris' nutritionist, Tracy Paradise, and we're told there is absolutely nothing romantic between the two. Our sources say she works Kris out when his other trainers are not available (not like that, you pervs) and sometimes serves as his assistant.

Manny Pacquiao lost a VERY controversial split decision last night to Timothy Bradley, setting the stage for a rematch ... that seemingly was already in the works! Something smells fishy ...

The internet set on fire last night when Pacquiao was declared the loser ... even though anyone with two eyes (or even one) could see he won the fight easily.

Our good friends over at TheBigLead.com point out ... Bradley tweeted a photo of a poster for the rematch back on May 29. Most experts agree that a decisive Manny victory would have meant no rematch.

So we gotta ask ...

Vivica A. Fox told our photog yesterday afternoon ... President Barack Obama smells "fabulous" -- innocuous comment ... or hint of A GIANT COVERUP!?!?!?!?

The "Independence Day" star was at a breakfast with Obama on Thursday and when we asked what kind of cologne the prez wears ... Fox offered up the olfactory praise.

But here's the thing ... even though Obama claims to be off the tobacco wagon, he has yo-yoed when it comes to smoking more times than Oprah's weight. So if he's hitting the cologne bottle ... it could be to mask the smell of his cancer sticks.

So we ask ...

Kris Humphries' lawyer has been speaking with the lawyer for girlfriend Myla Sinanaj ... trying to negotiate a non-disclosure agreement ... for a price.

Sources connected with Kris tell us ... his lawyer reached out to hers earlier today, trying to muzzle her from talking about their relationship. Our sources say Kris is nervous about the texts, emails and other documents she has relating to their relationship -- things Kris wants to keep under wraps.

As for why Kris wants to muzzle Myla -- his lawyers are demanding millions from Kim Kardashian, alleging she defrauded him and broke his heart. It's hard to make the case when Kris is banging another chick two months after Kim files divorce docs.

We're told, in addition to a non-disclosure agreement, Kris wants Myla to sign some sort of joint statement ... again, for a price.

Everyone can chill out -- Zack Morris says he didn't totally slam "Saved by the Bell" ... and insists his words were "taken out of context" in a controversial interview.

TMZ just spoke to Mark-Paul Gosselaar about the Yahoo! story in which he's quoted as saying of 'SBTB' ... "It's not a great show." Those words ignited an uproar on the Internet this week, but Mark told us, "I'm proud of that show and have no problem talking about it."

Mark does admit calling the show's writing "cheesy"... but says, "That's why people like it! I wasn't saying it was a bad show, just that the writing reflected" '80s cheesiness.

MPG says he's "bummed" his words were twisted, and adds ... "everything I've ever done after the show has pointed to me having nothing but respect for it."

Go Tigers!

Kris Humphries GF Myla Sinanaj is in a tight spot -- she's been dating a guy for 5 months who says he's single, trashing the in-laws of his estranged wife, and acting a little "Single White Female" by impersonating KK. Short story -- she needed a coffee break.

It's no surprise Myla was mum on her way out of a Starbucks in New Jersey this AM. Funny thing ... on the other end of the country Bruce Jenner -- whose face Myla calls "scary from too much plastic surgery" -- was at a Starbucks getting a java of his own.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak just dug herself a hole to China by telling us Monday she is not living in her home illegally -- turns out, what she told us was a big fat LIE, because TMZ has the lease.

Kim is embroiled in a verbal war with her landlord, Kendra Davis. As we reported, Davis has said she's trying to evict Kim because she has no right to live in the house and won't pay rent. For her part, Kim insisted she's paid every cent of the ren and the lease was still in effect.

So here's the smoking gun ... According to the lease, either Kendra or Kim had a right to terminate the lease by giving written notice 30 days before May 30. If no one gave notice, the lease would be extended beginning in June on a month-to-month basis.

But here's the deal ... Someone did give 30 days notice -- AND IT WAS KIM AND HER HUBBY!! Take a look at Kroy Biermann's email to the landlord dated March 29, 2012. So the lease officially terminated May 30 -- so she lied to us when she said it was still in effect.

It's now June 5 and Kim and Kroy are still in the house. Under the lease, they're considered squatters -- i.e., illegal tenants -- and the lease says they are required to pay $600 for every day they illegally stay. The landlord says they haven't paid $600 a day, so it appears Kim also lied to us when she said she was totally current on rent.

The landlord gave us a letter that she sent Kim and Kroy today ... telling them they're in the house illegally and must vacate immediately, and if they don't she'll see them in court.

Calls to Kim weren't returned. Pants on fire, Kim.

Simon Cowell's ex-fiancée, Mezhgan Hussainy, has absolutely no plans to write a scathing tell-all book about everyone's favorite acerbic judge, despite reports to the contrary ... TMZ has learned.

British tabs are buzzing today with a report that Hussainy is out of "revenge" against Cowell and plans to pen a book and reveal all the couple's dirty laundry.

But a source close to Hussainy tells TMZ she is "not the type of person" to write such a book and that Hussainy and Cowell are still very close ... despite breaking off their engagement last year.

A rep for Hussainy tells TMZ she "has absolutely no plans to write a book of any sort."

Lamar Odom the basketball player and Lamar Odom the reality star are two completely separate people and he likes to keep it that way ... but maybe he should think about merging the two.

Our photog spotted the former Los Angeles Laker out in L.A. yesterday and asked him if Kris Jenner (mega-manager that she is) is handling his basketball career. Lamar explained, "Those are two separate entities -- the basketball player and the guy that's on reality TV ... She handles the reality star."

An interesting statement from L.O. because when he and Khloe pulled the plug on their reality show ... he claimed he was going to focus on his basketball career. Not a good move on Lamar's part to say he's still in the reality TV world ... if he's serious about having a team take him seriously.
