Gossip / Rumors

Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik hardly cross paths in their new music video for the "Fifty Shades Darker" soundtrack, but Zayn's gf, Gigi Hadid, didn't put the kibosh on the PDA.

Sources connected to production of the "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" video tell us ... Gigi wasn't even on set when it was being shot and had zero influence on Taylor and Zayn's interactions. We're told Gigi's confident in her relationship with Zayn, and doesn't try to restrict his work ... even if it's with a hot chick, who happens to be her friend.

We're told it just made more sense with the song's lyrics for the duo to be apart in the video -- but even if it called for them to be all over each other ... Gigi wouldn't care. She knows how the biz works.

Ex-NFL star Bill Romanowski says there ain't much the NFL can do about stopping CTE these days unless they make one dramatic change -- go back to leather helmets.

Bill was leaving Catch in West Hollywood when he explained his theory. It sorta makes sense.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are clearly past the one-night stand phase, 'cause they're hanging out in public again ... this time doing it at a Dave & Buster's.

Selena and Abel hit up a D&B in Hollywood Wednesday night with a bunch of mutual friends -- including French Montana and Jaden Smith -- where we're guessing they ate, drank, and played.

This is the first time the two stars have been seen together since their makeout sesh at Giorgio Baldi a few weeks ago ... following all the drama that ensued.

And besides, if there's one thing anyone who's anyone knows about this place ... it's a total date night spot. Keyword ... date.

Tito Ortiz is ANGRY over claims his fight with Chael Sonnen was fixed -- and just invited all doubters to his gym so he can CHOKE YOU OUT HIMSELF!!!

By the way, he's serious.

After Ortiz dominated Chael at Bellator 170, an Internet conspiracy theory went around saying Chael gave Tito a hand signal to reverse a chokehold ... and essentially threw the fight.

Scarlett Johansson and her French journalist husband, Romain Dauriac, put their breakup rumors to rest almost as soon as they surfaced ... or maybe they're just still super friendly.

The couple, who share a 2-year-old daughter, put up a united front Wednesday night at the Uncanny Likeness exhibit in NYC hours after news broke they had reportedly split.

If you look closely, doesn't appear ScarJo is wearing her wedding ring, and it wasn't on either when she made an appearance at the Women's March over the weekend.

Nevertheless ... she was all smiles. He was partially smiles.

Kendall Jenner is definitely with A$AP Rocky ... at least for this week in Paris.

The long-rumored couple is there for a Fashion Week event -- newly single Bella Hadid was third wheeling it. Kendall was back in Paris for the first time since the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and this trip was arguably hotter.

Rocky and Kendall were all over each other at the club and on the way back to their hotel. If it's just friendship ... they're really good friends. They also kicked it in Malibu last month ... and more recently at a concert in NYC.

Friends. All around the world.

Jon Voight thinks Hollywood is trying to destroy the country by de-legitimizing President Trump, and he's calling out Miley Cyrus and Shia LaBeouf by name, saying their conduct is treasonous.

We got Jon in Bev Hills Tuesday and he did not hide his contempt for Hollywood, which he thinks is dangerously intolerant.

WWE Hall of Fame inductee Kurt Angle says he ain't ruling out a return to wrestling -- but he's adamant the rumors of a surprise appearance at this weekend's Royal Rumble are simply not true.

Angle recently pulled out of a Jan 28 wrestling event in Scotland -- the same weekend as the Rumble -- and some people thought it was a clue that Angle was clearing the deck for a Royal surprise.

But TMZ Sports spoke with the former WWE World Heavyweight champ who put it bluntly -- "Royal Rumble is not gonna happen."

"A lot of people are assuming it, a lot of writers are writing about it ... I haven't talked to WWE about anything after WWE Hall of Fame."

Angle is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in March -- and says he's excited about his future with Vince McMahon's company ... which could definitely involve a return to action.

Kim Zolciak is coming to daughter Brielle Biermann's defense denying the 19-year-old has ever had butt implants, despite what the Internet thinks.

Brielle posted a racy pic of her rump on Snapchat and many jumped to the conclusion that it was fake since she has posted video of her lip injections in the past.

However, Kim tells TMZ the proof Brielle's got natural cakes is in the rest of her body ... there isn't an ounce of fat to use for butt implants. Kim says Brielle's big ass comes from the gym -- she works out a ton.

Not to mention ... she's 19.

Aaron Rodgers' girlfriend, Olivia Munn, says she's proud of the Packers for the way they faced adversity this season -- both on and off the field -- leaving some wondering if she's referencing the drama with Aaron's family.

Of course, the Rodgers family rift has been making headlines all season -- but it got a shot in the arm last week when Aaron's dad gave an interview to the NY Times ... suggesting the QB turned his back on the family after he got famous.

Enter Munn ... who wrote a nice letter to Packers Nation thanking them for the support after the NFC Championship loss.

"So proud of this team," Munn wrote ... "They faced adversity on and off the field, but battled to get this far."

Then came this ... "THANK YOU to those of you who encouraged and supported them by choosing to put out only *positive* energy. It helped them get this far."

As for Aaron, he's not talking about the rift -- and we're guessing he won't anytime soon.

More drama in the Reggie Bush alleged baby scandal ... the woman claiming to be his mistress is MARRIED and now her husband wants out.

As we previously reported, a Miami nightclub waitress named Monique claims Bush (who is also married) sperminated her last year and approached him about child support. The baby is due in February.

Now, we've learned Monique was married at the time of the alleged tryst -- and her husband is PISSED. He's filed for divorce and it's clear from the docs he's convinced Bush is the father of her unborn kid.

He's named Bush several times in his divorce papers and is demanding she hand over any documentation proving he could be the father ... such as DNA tests, confidentiality agreements or payments he may have made to her.

The husband also notes he didn't have sex with his wife around the time of conception -- so there's no way HE could be the daddy.

A rep for Bush had previously called the baby allegations "rumors" and noted he's still "happily married."

We've also learned a lawyer for the husband reached out to Reggie's camp to try work out a private deal to keep the NFL star's name out of the court papers. Obviously, no deal was reached.

'Bachelor' star Corinne Olympios is getting some help in the villain department ... from the show's producers, according to Corinne's mom.

Corinne's mom, Peri, told us the show went all-out to push Corinne into the bad girl role -- and she gave up some specific examples ... including Nick Viall's now infamous run-in with the whipped cream.

Peri also called out all the 'Bachelor' fans taking shots at her daughter. Apparently, they've dug up Peri's phone number ... something she's not going to let slide.

Mama Olympios doesn't play either.

Aaron Rodgers' family drama won't bleed over onto the playing field this weekend ... 'cause he's an expert at tuning out off-the-field drama ... so says his ex-teammate Greg Jennings.

Aaron's family been all over the news after his father came out this week and talked about their fractured relationship. People are wondering if the "distraction" will affect Aaron's play.

But Jennings points out that the family issues didn't just pop up ... he's been dealing with it for a while and it hasn't affected his performance one bit.

If anything, he's been playing BETTER.

The city of Los Angeles got a sneak peek of the $2.5 billion Century Plaza Thursday night -- and it certainly made an impression -- with a video show that lit up the entire side of a building.

Josh Duhamel, Ellen Pompeo and Darren Criss -- to name a few -- showed up for the unveiling. Industry sources say the presentation alone hovered right around $1 million to put on ... the hotel, brought together by visionary real estate developer Michael Rosenfeld, is set to open in 2018.

As for those rumors former Pussy Cat Doll Nicole Scherzinger will take Fergie's place in The Black Eyed Peas? We asked Josh ... but somethin' tells us he just doesn't care.

Tyron Woodley says he's beaten some of the best fighters in the world ... and tells TMZ Sports the way his career's going, he's a lock for the Hall of Fame.

The UFC's reigning welterweight champ is clearly upset he isn't getting the respect he believes he deserves and told ESPN on Wednesday his race is a factor.

"Let's put the cards on the table ... real is real. If I was a different complexion, I think people and fans would treat me a different way."

Despite his reception, Woodley says you can't argue with his record ... with huge wins over guys like Carlos Condit, Robbie Lawler and Josh Koscheck.

Jackie Evancho's keeping it real at Donald Trump's inauguration ... with her voice.

Sources close to the singer tell TMZ ... Jackie will sing the national anthem LIVE when she steps up to the mic Friday.

You'll recall Beyonce got roasted 4 years ago for lip-syncing, a custom which has been followed by those who sang before her ... in no small part because it's hard to sing in frigid weather.

We're told Jackie has never lip-synced a performance and it's out of the question for her to break tradition for the most important performance of her life.

Jackie had a run-through with the Marine Corps Band Wednesday and her big rehearsal goes down Thursday.

She will prerecord the song, but it will only play if she gets sick and physically can't pull it off.

And, the song is notoriously a minefield for singers who forget the words, so the lyrics will appear on the teleprompters, but we're told that's not at Jackie's request. We're told she's done the song a hundred times, and has it nailed.
