Gossip / Rumors

She's partied with him all over the world ... and was recently spotted at his game ... but Karrueche Tran tells TMZ Sports she's definitely NOT dating soccer superstar Memphis Depay.

But watch the video ... it's not the most convincing denial we've ever seen.

Tran first hung out the Manchester United stud in Miami back in June -- and was spotted in the crowd at one of his games just a few weeks ago.

But when we saw Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend out at Beso in Hollywood this week ... she insisted they're nothing more than friends.

Gigi Hadid isn't ready to share precious closet space with boyfriend Joe Jonas, because the couple isn't moving in together ... TMZ has learned.

Photos of G.i.-Joe gawking at a building in Manhattan's NoHo 'hood surfaced Friday, sparking rumors the couple of only 4 months was taking the leap.

We're told that's not the case, and Gigi is the only one shopping ... she even brought mom Yolanda along to see some of the spots. They checked out a boutique building on Bond Street where 2 and 3-bedrooms go for around $6.5 mil.

Good security has to be high on Gigi's list of amenities for a new home -- she had to sell her old place after a stalker got inside.

There was no "I do" ... there was no bended knee ... there was no proposal -- because Drake and Serena Williams are NOT engaged to be married ... this according to a rep for the rapper.

The Internet was buzzing this morning with rumors that Drake had popped the question to the tennis star and she accepted ... but it just ain't true.

Drake's rep tells us, "The rumor is completely untrue."

Missy Elliott is back after 10 years ... we know it for sure because we got footage of the rapper shooting her new music video.

There were hints since February Missy was staging a comeback. Pharrell for one has said he's been working with the "Work It" rapper in the studio. It looks like this song is called "WTF."

But our video cements it, showing Missy getting her freak on with a film crew Tuesday night in downtown LA in a very shiny suit.

There's a difference between being sore over someone ... and GIVING SORES TO SOMEONE ... so says Gilbert Arenas who's suing his baby mama for claiming he gave her STDs.

The ex-NBA superstar has filed a lawsuit against Laura Govan -- claiming she concocted a diabolical scheme to humiliate him on a global scale by making everyone think he's rotten in the genitals, even though she knows he's not.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Arenas claims Govan got super bitter when he dumped her ... so she decided to write up an email to him chock full of nasty allegations and then leak it to various gossip websites knowing they would run it.

In the email, Arenas claims Govan wrote, "When I left you it was because I couldn't take the STDs."

Gilbert is adamant in his lawsuit the accusation is FALSE -- and "Govan knew it to be false when it was made."

Scott Disick's 18-year-old travel companion says she's NOT sleeping with or dating him ... at least that's the story she's telling her friends.

Lindsay Vrckovnik insists she's never hooked up with Scott. She says she's been traveling with a group of models and met Scott in NYC, and hung out for a day. The girls wanted to move the party to Miami over the weekend, and according to what she's telling friends ... Scott happily followed.

Lindsay -- who's from Canada -- has a boyfriend there and the photos that surfaced have caused a problem between the two of them.

Whatever Lindsay claims ... she's having trouble convincing her BF for a few reasons. First, she and Scott didn't meet for the first time last week ... they hung out at least once before, in July, at a party in Malibu.

"Empire" star Jussie Smollett is keeping it as real as his TV mama Cookie does ... saying he's NOT hookin' up with Michael Sam ... despite the fact they've been spending A LOT of time together recently.

Matt Barnes refuses to back down from his claims that something romantic went down between him and Rihanna -- telling TMZ Sports straight up, "I'm too grown to lie."

Justin Bieber's famous pals are coming to his defense, saying the pop singer hasn't hopped off the sobriety train despite recent footage showing him smoking and boozing.

Riff Raff tells us he and Diplo were hanging with Justin just last week in Hollywood. Riff and Dip were working on music for Raff's upcoming LP, "Pink Panther." Riff Raff freely admits, he and Diplo were "f**** up," but Justin didn't touch anything -- weed, alcohol, nothing.

Riff Raff says after the session they hit the town to party and Justin was stone cold sober the whole time. The video shows Justin and Riff Raff in the car on the way to the clubs, and Biebs looks clear-headed.

Zayn Malik's ex-fiancee Perrie Edwards looks like a desperate chick who's still longing for the guy who dumped her in a new Little Mix music video -- but we've learned it's not what it seems.

The vid for "Love Me Like You" dropped Friday, and fans instantly noticed the engagement diamond on Perrie's finger. People were wondering why she was still wearing it, since they broke up 2 months ago. Was it a dig at Zayn or wishful thinking?

It's neither. We found out the video was filmed around 6 months ago, when Perrie and Zayn were still a thing. Sources who were on the set tell us she kept the ring on during shooting because they were very much in love.

But y'know ... things change. The former One Direction singer broke things off in August, and Perrie didn't take it well.

Silver lining: Perrie gets some pub for her new song.

The Vatican is using the "smoked but didn't inhale" excuse when it comes to Pope Francis' meeting with anti-gay county clerk Kim Davis ... acknowledging their meeting but denying there was any exchange of support.

Davis, who was jailed for not granting same sex marriage licences in Kentucky, told reporters the Holy Father was in step with her stance, and told her to "stay strong."

Now the Vatican is saying the meet and greet between the Pontiff and Davis was so brief, the Pope never discussed the details of Davis' complex situation.

Travis Barker and Rita Ora are dating, Travis' rep confirms to TMZ.

We're told the couple's so smitten with one another they've spent almost every day together since hitting it off at the Power 106 All Star Celebrity Basketball Game in LA.

That was 10 days ago ...

Seems Karrueche Tran's summer lovin' is spillin' over into the fall ... because she's getting very close with Manchester United star Memphis Depay ... and even went to his game Wednesday night.

Tran was first spotted with Depay in Miami back in June -- but recently it seems things have started to heat up ... with the two hitting nightclubs together and even shopping in Manchester.

Now, with Tran attending the Man U game ... pointed out by our friends at BSO ... it's just another clue she's more than just friends with the guy who signed a $40 million contract back in May.

BTW, Man U won the game 2-1 ... and even though Memphis didn't score on the pitch, seems he might do pretty well after the game.

Selena Gomez broke her long-standing silence with the paparazzi ... to kinda sorta flirt with our photog.

Charlie and around 20 other photogs were at LAX as Selena arrived, when he asked in his discernible Aussie accent for whom she wanted to look good ... playing off her song, "Good for You."

Selena -- who is blazing hot -- didn't say Bieber. She didn't say Orlando Bloom. What she said has given Charlie tragic false hope.

Being unemployed has its benefits ... if you're Michael Sam ... 'cause the outta-work football player has some new friends in high places ... hanging with the cast of the hit Fox show "Empire."

Kate Hudson and Nick Jonas say they're not dating ... but does hooking up count?

The 2 were all over the place -- together -- this weekend, first at Disney World in Orlando and the next day at brunch in Miami.

Kate -- who's 36 -- went to Nick's show at the House of Blues in Orlando Saturday night. Oh, right, he's 23.

It kinda makes sense. She was probably his jam growing up, and she's still just as hot.
