Gossip / Rumors

Ariana Grande fans can kill all the buzz her new music video, "Into You," is about Big Sean ... so says the smoking hot guy who played her love interest.

We got former "America's Next Top Model" star Don Benjamin at LAX Wednesday and asked him about all the comparisons fans have been making between Sean and him.

Many believe the video is about their breakup, especially since Ariana started dating her backup dancer, Ricky, after ending things with Sean.

Don has a different theory -- but keep in mind, Don still seems a little hypnotized by making out with Ariana in the video. Not that we blame him.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's relationship was extremely bitter due to a full-blown feud between his family and Amber ... and this, we're told, is the backdrop for what is already an acrimonious divorce.

Multiple sources connected to the ex-couple tell us, Johnny's 2 teenage kids, his 2 sisters and his mom "hated" Amber, and openly discussed it. We're told they talked about how Amber would rail on Johnny and "treat him like crap."

Earlier this year, Johnny moved his mother, Betty Sue Palmer, into the L.A. compound where he and Amber lived ... and the tension was palpable. We're told mom often told friends she thought Amber was using Johnny for his money and fame, and to boost her own career.

We're also told before Betty Sue moved in, she only saw her son once from the time he married Amber, and both Betty Sue and Johnny blame her for keeping them apart so she'd have full control.

Our sources say Amber had 2 closed door sit-downs with Johnny's mom after she moved in, and after both meetings Betty Sue railed on her daughter-in-law, calling her a "terrible person."

We broke the story ... Amber filed for divorce Monday ... 3 days after Betty Sue died. There was no prenup, and Amber wants spousal support.

DeMar DeRozan's days in the six might be numbered ... that's according to his best friend and former teammate, Romeo Miller, who says he knows where DeRozan is headed ... and he strongly suggests it's L.A.

We got Romeo out at The Grove and asked him about DeMar ... who will be one of the most coveted free agents of the NBA off-season.

Romeo would be the guy to ask ... he and DeRozan have been best friends for years, growing up together and playing college ball at USC.

Check out the clip ... it's been reported DeMar wants to bolt the north for L.A. and Romeo adds to that fire ... hinting STRONGLY that he knows the Lakers are the right spot for his best pal.

Erin Andrews is on thin ice with Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy after spilling the beans on the couple's baby news -- their SECRET baby news.

Erin's loose lips struck during Monday's rehearsals for the "Dancing with the Stars" finale. Our production sources say Erin was mic'd up when she walked up to Peta and Maksim and congratulated them ... and everyone heard it.

We're told the couple was pissed since they hadn't told some of their closest friends and family yet -- and they were still planning a big announcement.

Erin apologized, but we're told she kept trying to blow it off as a joke ... which only made it worse.

Ironically, the next night, Peta did some blabbing of her own. After she and dancing partner Nyle DiMarco won the 'DWTS' title, she posted on Facebook ... before it aired on the west coast. Some fans immediately ripped her on social media.

At least Erin can make up for her mistake with an expensive baby gift.

Patrick and Jill Dempsey have either reconciled or they've been asleep at the wheel in their divorce case, and now the judge has issued an ultimatum ... get on with the divorce or get it thrown out of court.

Jill filed for divorce from her former "Grey's Anatomy" star hubby in January of last year, but since then there's been no action in the case. Patrick didn't even file a response.

Judge Maren Nelson just sent Jill a legal doc, obtained by TMZ, in which she says the case has been stagnant and Jill hasn't moved for a final judgment. The doc goes on to say if the foot-dragging persists, the case could be dismissed.

Here's the real story. As we reported, neither Patrick nor Jill wanted a divorce ... she had problems with the fact that he seemed married to auto racing and was ignoring her and the kids. Patrick responded by saying that he wanted to stay married and promised to drastically cut back on racing, which he has done.

Mathew Knowles was super interesting Tuesday, telling our photog he and Beyonce made peace long before anyone knew.

Mathew and Blush Music, the rap group he's managing, were tooling around Bev Hills when he told us his relationship with his daughter got repaired long before his cameo with Blue Ivy in Bey's new music video.

And the most interesting part ... his reaction when we asked if he'll ever manage her again.

Jay Z is embracing his wife's cheating song, making it clear he's ultimately the winner because it gives him heat.

Jay appeared on a remix of Fat Joe and Remy Ma's "All the Way Up," in which he raps, "You know you made it when the fact ... your marriage made it is worth millions ... Lemonade is a popular drink and it still is ... Survival of the littest."

Of course, the song was released on Tidal.

Madonna and Prince had a heated feud over the one song they ever recorded together, and the showdown involved one of Madonna's divorces ... according to Prince's ex-gf Anna Fantastic.

Anna dropped this bombshell about Prince and the Madge's "Love Song" ... which they recorded in the late '80s. Anna says she was there when Madonna propositioned him to shoot a music video for the track.

She claims Madonna tried to play the sympathy card by telling Prince she was in the middle of divorcing Sean Penn ... and the song meant a lot to her. Prince's reply, according to Anna? "What does your divorce have to do with me or this song?"

Check out the rest of Anna's take.

Maybe Madonna's tribute was just payback -- but if nothing else, we got the song out of 'em.

Morgan Freeman admits planting one on Michelle Obama ... but not in the way a lot of people would like to -- and definitely NOT the way some people have reported he did.

We got Morgan outside Madeo Monday night in WeHo, and asked about reports Prez Obama was pissed about his smooch with the First Lady at the Invictus Games in Orlando.

For sure, it was a very friendly kiss ... but there's a good reason for that. Check out Mr. Freeman's reaction to all the fuss. Morgan clearly knows his boundaries, and he's still the coolest.

George Harrison thought Christina Applegate was so adorable, he just wanted to eat her up ... at least according to David Faustino.

Faustino claims Harrison was infatuated with Kelly Bundy back in the "Married with Children" days ... and what he allegedly said will shock every Beatles fan on earth.

David's revelation went down on Matt Weiss and Theo Von's "Allegedly" podcast.

You'll never hear "Come Together" the same way ever again.

Tyson Beckford got into an all-out brawl with DJ Ruckus over the "Bro Code" ... TMZ has learned.

It happened Thursday at Up & Down nightclub in NYC. Tyson and Ruckus have had ongoing beef over Shanina Shaik. Tyson, who was friends with Ruckus, was dating Shanina, broke up and then Ruckus hooked up with her. So, you can see why things have been tense between the guys.

We're told Ruckus saw Tyson in the club, flipped him off, and then Beckford went over to Ruckus and said if he had beef with him they should "take it out in the street." That's exactly what happened.

We're told the fight was violent. At one point Tyson was on top of Ruckus, pounding away, when one of Ruckus' friends began punching Beckford in the head.

It didn't end there. Ruckus punched Tyson in the groin, and Tyson returned the favor with his knee. A doorman called the cops, and by the time cops got there the 3 men were gone. No arrests were made.

We got video outside the club, where you can see the fight starting to brew -- but because there were a ton of cops patrolling that area, we're told Ruckus and Beckford moved the action a few blocks away.

Kim Zolciak is coming to her daughter's defense, denying rumors surrounding 19-year-old Brielle's face in a family vacay photo.

Kim tells TMZ ... Brielle's face has NOT been under a scalpel, and the ONLY work she's had are the lip fillers she got during a mother-daughter trip last year.

Kim deleted the IG pic with Brielle and hubby Kroy Biermann after trolls went off about Brielle's face ... which mom insists only looks different because of the angle, and Brielle's lack of eye makeup.

In her defense, Brielle does look a little different in this video from the same night.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne were together Friday, sharing a ride as they left a Bev Hills medical building.

Charles Oakley says he still has Anthony Mason's back -- and he's going in on Fat Joe for "disrespecting" the NY Knicks legend by naming him as the mystery victim in a Biggie Smalls track.

"You don't talk about a guy after he's deceased," Oakley said ... "definitely disrespectful."

The song in question is Biggie's "I Got a Story to Tell" -- in which the rapper details a night where he was sleeping with the GF of a Knicks player ... and when the player came home, Biggie posed as a burglar and pulled out a gun to rob him to cover up the affair.

Biggie never named the Knicks player in the song -- and it remained a mystery until this week, when Fat Joe went on ESPN and identified the victim as Anthony Mason, who died last year.

For the record, Oakley says he was very tight with Mason -- and AM never brought up the alleged incident once. It's clear, Charles isn't convinced Fat Joe and Diddy are telling the truth.

There's more ... Oakley also makes his NBA prediction -- explaining why LeBron and the Cavs are about to CRUSH the Golden State Warriors' championship dreams.

He also talks about his cooking plans with Oakley In the Kitchen (that's right, dude can cook!)

Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs is backing up Fat Joe's claim that Notorious B.I.G. banged Anthony Mason's GF ... saying the mystery Knick in "I Got A Story To Tell" is in fact Mason ... 100%.

Combs called into "The Breakfast Club" when Charlamagne asked if the bombshell revelation Fat Joe made on ESPN's "Highly Questionable" was factual ... or hip-hop fable?

Fat Joe tapped Mason as the NY Knick in the classic rap song -- in which Biggie rhymes about banging a guy's GF ... then robbing him when the BF walked in on it (tough night).

Puff spilled the last bit of the beans ... saying he "could confirm that story with love" ... admitting B.I.G. did the same thing to Mason's GF that Michael Jordan did to the Knicks for the entire '90s.

Tyga's new chick is dominating Cannes with her luscious flow from head to toe.

The rapper and Demi Rose -- a 21-year-old British lingerie model -- were seen leaving their hotel Thursday and heading to Gotha Club in France. They've been spotted together partying and getting cozy just one week after his split with Kylie.

Tyga ... undisputed rebound champ.
