Gossip / Rumors

Marcia Clark and Chris Darden blew the O.J. Simpson murder trial because jurors were more focused on whether they were doing the deed ... according to one infamous panel member.

Michael Knox was juror #620 -- the guy featured on 'The People v. O.J.' who got booted for lying about a prior conviction. He told us many jurors saw Marcia as unprofessional, partly due to the perceived sexual tension ... but also because some female jurors were offended by Clark's short skirts.

How offended? You gotta see the word he used to describe Marcia.

But Knox thinks Mark Fuhrman's lie about the "n-word" really sealed the deal for the defense. His take on the word is, umm ... something to see.

R&B singer Kehlani says she was so devastated over rumors she cheated on her boyfriend Kyrie Irving, she tried to kill herself Monday night ... but fortunately, she survived.

Kehlani posted the ordeal on Instagram -- showing a pic of herself with an IV in her arm in a hospital bed with the caption, "I wanted to leave this earth. Being completely selfish for once. Never thought I'd get to such a low point."

FYI -- The Internet was brutal to Kehlani Monday over a picture that suggested she cheated on Irving with her singer ex-boyfriend "PartyNextDoor."

But Kehlani says SHE NEVER CHEATED -- and says she was already broken up with Irving when she got back together with "PND."

"I am severely utterly in love with my first love. Went thru a bad breakup and ended up easing into a relationship with a man who was one of my bestfriend [Irving]. Tho we realized we both weren't exactly at a time where we were prepared to do so."

"No I'm not a CHEATER, a THOT, im a BELIEVER IN FOLLOWING YOUR HEART and not LYING TO YOURSELF."

Translation -- I was with PND. We broke up. I got with Kyrie. We realized it wasn't working out. Got back with PND.

Kehlani says PND helped save her life last night -- says "God saved me for a reason."

She has since deleted everything from her Instagram page.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Cynthia Bailey is desperately trying to save her marriage ... or she's completely given up hope -- depending on your take of this video.

Cynthia arrived solo at LAX over the weekend. We broke the story ... she and husband Peter Thomas are now living in separate cities. When we asked about the split, she insisted there's more to it than 'RHOA' drama or story lines.

Meek Mill is calling BS on the guy he calls Drake's ghostwriter ... saying neither he nor his team whupped Quentin Miller's ass.

As we reported, Miller claims Meek and his crew left him bloodied after a run-in at the Bev Hills Nike store. But our sources say Meek's telling friends that story is fabricated, and there's zero evidence of such a run-in.

We're told Meek thinks the proof is no security camera footage has surfaced from the busy Wilshire Ave location. Translation: pics or it didn't happen.

Our sources says Meek thinks Drake masterminded Miller's story ... just to take a shot while he's on house arrest.

Cynthia Bailey and Peter Thomas' marriage has been torn apart by 'RHOA' ... at least that's how Peter sees it, now that he's moved out of their Atlanta home.

TMZ has learned the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' stars are now living in separate states -- CB's in their ATL home, while Peter's in their Charlotte crib.

We're told it's been this way for months, because Peter decided he doesn't want to do 'Housewives' anymore. He thinks the show drama -- which has focused on their marital issues -- is making it too hard to patch things up when cameras are off.

Despite promos for the upcoming reunion that mention cheating rumors ... we're told Cynthia doesn't think Peter's stepping out on her. No one's filed separation or divorce docs yet, but we're told it's just a matter of time.

Amanda Bynes won't be part of Nickelodeon's "All That" reunion -- she wasn't even invited.

Sources close to Bynes tell us she found out about the reunion when a trailer was released online ... she never got a heads up from producers.

Bynes got her start on the '90s sketch comedy series, and went on to star in her own Nickelodeon show, "The Amanda Show," a few years later.

Amanda tells friends she would've declined the offer anyway, because her focus these days is fashion, not acting.

As we reported, the "All That" reunion won't feature new material. Instead it will be a lot of reminiscing with "All That" alums Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Danny Tamberelli, Lori Beth Denberg and Josh Server.

Maybe producers just asked Ashley by mistake ...

Karrueche Tran had a slip of the tongue ... nearly letting the cat out of the bag about her rumored turn as an “America’s Next Top Model" judge -- or at least it appears that way.

Our photog caught Chris Brown's ex at Hollywood & Highland and asked if she'd be a regular when producers bring back the show sans Tyra Banks and J. Alexander. She double clutches on her answer ... so hard to tell if she's in like Flynn or still waiting.

Selena Gomez was front and center at Justin Bieber's concert Wednesday ... but our Selena and Justin sources say they are not back together ... but both sides say things are subject to change.

Selena and some of her girlfriends showed up to the Staples Center concert, and we're told after the show Selena jumped in Justin's SUV and he took her to the place she was staying for the night. But that was it. Justin left and went to party with Kanye, Kim, Dave Chappelle and Nate Diaz.

As for what it means ... we're told Selena says she is not romantic with Justin and it's not in the cards.

Here's the thing. Our sources on both sides say they both have unresolved feelings toward each other, and although they're not hooked up now ... it could easily change, the way it has in the past.

We're also told there's a practical obstacle ... both Justin and Selena are going to be on tour for months, and realistically they can't be together.

Justin Bieber had a special guest at his Wednesday L.A. concert ... ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.

Looks like she got one of the best seats in the house too.

Justin's been linked to several other people since they broke up but he's no stranger to serenading her ... and just a few days ago he posted a throwback picture of them kissing.

Is it too late to say Jelena?

Beyonce's "cousin" who says she met Bey at a funeral has been hit up by a slew of nightclubs ... and a slew of drooling rappers.

Kristin Douglas appeared on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and said she had no idea her sister Kelsi Leggett (left) posted the pic on Instagram, and Kelsi says she even blocked Kristin from viewing the pic because Kelsi knew Kristin didn't like it.

Both women are blown away by the reaction ... Kristin now has 80k followers. But even bigger, she told us a bunch of clubs want her to appear -- for a price -- and some admiring rappers have also inquired.

BTW ... turns out Beyonce and the 2 women are not cousins, or even related. The guy who died is Beyonce's uncle and the godfather of Kristin and Kelsi.

Nick Cannon is talking to someone in his new song, "Oh Well," when he says, "All you needed was a n***** with the money, cars and cribs" ... it sure sounds like he's talking about Mariah and James Packer, but he says no.

The song is laced with lyrics that could sure fit his relationship with Mariah ... "I still feel bitter about it," "You leave the house. You f****** that n***** giving me a reason to bounce."

And he goes on ... "People on TV be happy but this is real life." And there's this ... "She didn't like when I was broke, but she missed the old me."

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are back together ... but it's not what you think.

We're told the soon-to-be divorced couple were leaving LAX for a flight down to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with their 2-year-old son, Maceo, and Halle's 8-year-old daughter, Nahla.

The divorce started out super nasty. Halle felt Olivier's temper was out of control and was furious she got dragged into a lawsuit over an assault at LAX.

More bad news for Johnny Manziel ... first he was cut by the Cleveland Browns ... and now one of the hottest women on earth, Abigail Ratchford, says the two are NOT getting down.

Floyd Mayweather IS making beautiful music with the hot 19-year-old girl he's been seen with ... the platonic kind ... managing her music career and NOT dating her, TMZ Sports has learned.

The woman's name is Raemarni Ball ... and since she met Floyd in London last month the two have been seen in Miami and Los Angeles together, prompting some to ask the obvious question:

Is he getting that?

The answer is no ... so say Floyd's reps who tell us the boxer is only interested in Raemarni for the talent in her heart, and not the talent in her jeans ... wanting to manage her career as a singer.

"He's in the middle of deciding whether to make her an individual pop artist or to put a girl group together. She has lots of personality, humble, talented, beautiful inside and out."

Giancarlo Stanton says reports that Barry Bonds beat him in a secret home run derby are NOT TRUE -- though he does say the ex-MLB star can still crush the ball like a BEAST!!

We reached out to the Miami Marlins superstar to find out what REALLY went down at the Marlins practice facility on Wednesday. Here's what he told us:

"False!!! He was hitting homers with us but it wasn't a home run derby. He was on my team for hitting drills. He is still a beast. But no home run derby vs. me. Media is wrong."

"Their story is we were hitting extra at batting practice on the back fields off a curveball machine. Getting work in. 5 of us. Last round we split into groups to face each other in a situational hitting competition with imaginary runners on base and the losing team picks up the balls. Not a home run derby."

"We added Bonds to make it 3 on 3. Bonds was on my team. But the fact that he could jump in there and still hit homers is unreal. And crazy to watch."

Blake Shelton says he has never been to rehab and says the magazine that claimed he had almost ruined his career.

Blake has filed a sworn declaration in his lawsuit against In Touch, which claimed he went to rehab after hitting "rock bottom."

Blake has a laundry list of items the magazine published he says are false:

-- "I have never been to rehab."

-- "I did not then nor have I ever hit rock bottom."

-- "I do not drink excessively, binge drink or have a drinking problem."

-- "I do not drink vodka before 11 AM."

-- "I am never drunk, intoxicated, or unable to perform my job on 'The Voice.'"

-- "I do not slur my words or stumble when I drink."

-- "I have never urinated on a mailbox."

He goes on to say the mag lied in accusing him of infidelity. He says, "My ex-wife Miranda Lambert did not catch me with a bunch of naked women in our Tennessee home."

Judy Smith says, "The story was categorically false. Blake said enough is enough and decided to fight back."
