Gossip / Rumors

Taylor Swift dumped Calvin Harris in a phone call, which is stunning because she was pissed when Joe Jonas did the exact same thing to her.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, Swift called Calvin from Nashville at some point after his car crash to pull the plug on their relationship. We're told Swift was vague during the call, only saying she needed some space.

Calvin was thunderstruck because he was under what he thought was a clear impression that Taylor was in it for the long haul to help him recover. He didn't accept the news well ... we're told they haven't spoken since.

And get this ... Taylor put Joe Jonas on blast on Ellen's show back in 2008 ... when she called him out for an over-the-phone breakup.

Pot, meet kettle.

Kylie and Tyga hooked up recently in Jamaica ... but they're not getting back together, or at least that's what they're telling their friends.

Kylie flew down to JA for Tyga's music video shoot -- she's not in it, she was just there to lend her support. Even though Kylie posted a pic of herself on a bed down there -- and it was Tyga's bed -- we're told they really are "just friends."

Kylie's been getting very close to PartyNextDoor, but we're told she and Tyga still text constantly, and she's even gone over to his house a few times.

As one source puts it ... there's still a lot of love, and no bitterness since no one cheated -- so they're cool with being pals. For now.

Calvin Harris will take Taylor Swift back ... when rocks grow.

The DJ zinged his ex Friday afternoon outside a WeHo gym ... the same place he cleverly threw shade the day before, with an assist from Kanye and his Yeezys.

By the way ... check out Friday's shoe selection -- same brand ... in black.

The 911 Richard Simmons emergency was rooted in some medical problem ... which is clear from the heavily redacted emergency call.

TMZ has obtained the 911 call from June 3rd, and it's apparent whatever the emergency, it's covered by patient privacy.

Simmons' people say he was just dehydrated, but that's a little curious because it doesn't seem that information would be redacted.

TMZ broke the story ... Simmons was incoherent when paramedics arrived. He spent 3 days in the hospital before being released.

Calvin Harris is putting on a good face ... even if he's hurting inside.

The superstar DJ stepped out Thursday in L.A. and said he's aces with Taylor Swift's new relationship with Tom Hiddleston. Check out the vid ... Calvin tries to play it cool as the ex.

On the surface he's putting on a happy face ... but as TMZ reported he's actually PISSED it went down and dirty.

Amber Heard never went to London for her costume fitting this week -- which is why her lawyers said she was unavailable for a deposition -- because she says the production crew felt she was too skinny, having lost 20 pounds because of what she says is overwhelming stress.

TMZ broke the story ... Johnny Depp's lawyer wanted to take her deposition in the domestic violence case, but ultimately the judge accepted the word of her legal team that she had to go to London for the fitting and would not get back until Thursday night ... the evening of the scheduled court hearing.

We got this pic of Amber in West Hollywood shot Wednesday, and turns out she never went to London. Her people say the trip was cancelled because the producers didn't think she was camera-ready for the role ... because of her weight.

Amber's team says they were never given proper notice, but Johnny's team says that's BS ... Amber's lawyers represented she was not in town, and she was.

Kim Kardashian is adamant her father did NOT use a Louis Vuitton bag to smuggle a murder weapon or bloody clothes out of O.J. Simpson's home ... claiming she personally inspected it with her own eyes.

A month before splitting with Calvin, Taylor Swift had eyes for Tom Hiddleston ... or so it seems.

Check out this pic, taken May 1st, at the end of a pre-Met Gala dinner at Anna Wintour's house. Tay seems to be peering in the direction of an unsuspecting Tom, who's jawboning with Idris Elba.

Tom did a radio interview not too long ago (above) where he strongly suggests Taylor made the first move ... at the May 2nd Met Gala.

As we reported, we're told Calvin believes his ex and Tom were together weeks before they called it quits on June 1st.

There are mounting claims that Omar Mateen was gay and looking to hook up on apps and in clubs -- but it appears he was also actively hitting on women ... a strong sign of a possible struggle with his sexuality.

Cord Cedeno says he connected with Mateen a couple years ago on Grindr, but it was hardly titillating. Cedeno says Mateen -- whose profile was a pic of him in a tie -- would only say "Hi" over and over. He says he eventually blocked Mateen, but knows 4 friends who say the Orlando murderer remained active on other apps.

He says Mateen used Adam4Adam to send shots of his penis to men -- but never showed his face. Cedeno says he has no knowledge Mateen was ever successful in hooking up with a man.

On the other hand ... a female user on Plenty Of Fish says Mateen reached out to her 18 months ago. She says he was "nice, normal ... mentioned he had a child, but said he was single and looking for a good woman to marry."

She told us Mateen never said anything about being into men, but did rant about Islam and the Quran ... saying people misunderstood his religion. She says he wanted to meet face-to-face, but she too blocked him because he seemed "emotionally unstable."

Richard Simmons just silenced everyone speculating he's been hiding from the public during a gender transition ... calling the reports lies and focusing attention on the Orlando tragedy.

Simmons addressed the rumors, saying, "Although I am not transitioning, I have and always will be supportive of those who are going through their journey." He continues, "My broken heart and healing thoughts are with the people of Orlando and all other victims of prejudice, bigotry and hate."

Amber Heard's friend who called 911 is prepared to testify about what started the fight the night Johnny Depp allegedly threw a phone at Amber's face.

iO Tillett Wright submitted a declaration in the case, saying Johnny was "very upset over something he thought someone had done to him." She says Amber had called and put her on speakerphone, hoping iO could calm Johnny down by assuring him "what he believed had happened was not true."

iO was not anymore specific in the docs about what irked Johnny that night. She says she heard Amber yell "Call 911" before getting disconnected, so she did ... to "save Amber's life."

As for what started the whole thing ... iO says she's willing to take the stand under oath during Friday's restraining order hearing -- so, you can be sure that will come up.

Leonardo DiCaprio looks pretty smitten by Nina Agdal, which makes total sense. She's a smoke show SI swimsuit model, after all.

The actor was all smiles hanging out with Nina over the weekend at The Crow's Nest in Montauk, NY. Our witnesses tell us they smoked for a few hours in the lounge area waiting for a table ... before finally heading in for dinner.

Once inside, they sat on the same side of the table and Leo had his arm around her. We're told Nina even got a little something from the gift shop -- a poncho ... cause it was raining.

If ya got all wet, might as well be with Leo ... said a looooooooong list of hot chicks.

Sharon Osbourne looks to have turned a corner with Ozzy, since she's now smiling and happily attending his concerts.

Sharon was in the UK over the weekend supporting Ozzy and Black Sabbath for their headlining gig at the Download Festival. She actually seemed to be beaming backstage while snapping a few pics.

This isn't the first time they've shared a stage since Ozzy's cheating rumors surfaced, but this is the first time she's genuinely grinning.

It's unclear if they've patched things up, but the look on her face could be a clue.

Kylie Jenner spent Sunday night clubbing with a familiar face ... her sister Khloe's ex, French Montana.

Kylie and French hit up The Nice Guy for a few hours during L.A. Pride. Yes, Kylie's a free agent, but don't get any ideas ... French just seems to be the go-to for a good hang.

If Odell Beckham Jr. is climbing Khloe Kardashian's mountain of booty, he has a pass to do so ... 'cause his team's owner, Steve Tisch, says he has zero problems with the hookup.

We got Tisch out in BH and asked if he had issues with rumors that Khloe and Odell are playing full contact ... rumors started after we broke some racy pics of the two hanging out at Drake's house.

Check out the clip -- Steve is totally unmoved by the so-called "Kardashian Kurse" that supposedly affects the men they date ... saying he trusts Odell immensely both on the field and off.

Amber Heard claims money is NOT the driving force behind her bid to get a restraining order against Johnny Depp, but sources connected with Johnny say she's full of it, pointing to a letter her own lawyer filed with the court ... Amber, however, says the letter isn't a money grab.

Amber's lawyer sent a letter to Jake Bloom, Johnny's entertainment lawyer, on May 24, 2016 ... just 3 days after the alleged iPhone attack, and 3 days before Amber made her explosive domestic violence claims.

In the letter Amber's lawyer tells Bloom, "Amber wishes to work quickly towards a private and amicable resolution of all matters, but she will need Johnny's immediate cooperation to do so." Amber's attorney also claims she wants to "work out solutions outside of the public eye."

Amber's lawyer then make a series of financial demands ... temporary spousal support, use of their Range Rover, possession of their downtown L.A. penthouse, $100,000 for her lawyer's fees and another $25,000 for business people.

Sources connected to Johnny note Amber never asked Johnny to voluntarily agree to stay away from her -- they say it's all about money ... either pay up, or we'll go to court, ask for a restraining order, and drag Johnny through the mud with all the allegations.

Johnny didn't pay and Amber filed the explosive documents on May 27th.

Sources connected with Amber tell TMZ, the letter asks for the standard fare in divorce cases and it's merely to sustain her. The sources deny the letter is an ultimatum to wedge money out of Johnny.
