Dana White Conor, Floyd Fight Not Close ... No Target Date

Published | Updated

The Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor superfight is "nowhere near being done" and reports of a June 10 target date are false ... so says Dana White.

White -- who did make a formal offer to Mayweather -- says the two sides are just as a far apart as they've been for months.

Floyd recently announced he would come out of retirement to fight Conor -- and reports have surfaced that the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas has put June 10 on reserve in case the fight is made.

But Dana tells TMZ Sports, "There is no target date whatsoever."

SEE YOU IN COURT

Silento caught a big break in Dubai by evading arrest ... because he's too young.

We got the "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)" rapper who had just flown to L.A. from Dubai, where he was detained for allegedly pocketing $80k from a concert promoter and then bailed on 2 gigs.

Authorities wanted to seize his passport and arrest him, but he says because he's 19 that's considered underage, so they handled it differently. It went through the courts, and it looks like Silento had to ante up what sounds like the full $80k before being allowed to leave.

Richard Simmons 'Perfectly Fine' After Welfare Check ... NOT Held Hostage

Published | Updated

Richard Simmons is doing "perfectly fine" contrary to reports he's being held hostage by his housekeeper ... at least according to cops.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... LAPD officers went to the 68-year-old's Hollywood Hills home 2 weeks ago for a welfare check ... this after at least one person contacted the cops and said Richard was being held hostage. Our sources say the officers spoke to Richard at length and determined he is of "sound mind and perfectly fine."

The visit comes on the heels of a popular podcast alleging Richard's being held against his will by his longtime friend/housekeeper because he hasn't been seen in over 1,000 days.

Dan Taberski -- host of the “Missing Richard Simmons” podcast -- tried tracking down Richard's brother, Lenny, but reportedly had the door shut in his face. He does however speak to Lenny on the phone and he explains about Richard, "He's not angry with anybody. I don't understand it."

A longtime friend raised the allegations on the podcast last week.

There was a similar concern back in 2015 and cops also did a welfare check and determined Richard was fine and he just wanted to live outside the public view.

Published | Updated

Nick Cannon's 'AGT' replacement will get painted as a "Sambo," as far as Brandon T. Jackson is concerned.

Brandon was leaving La Scala in Bev Hills Tuesday when our photog asked if he'd be interested in taking the gig since Nick has quit. He couldn't be stronger.

Nick and Brandon go way back ... the 'Percy Jackson' star was featured on a season of Nick's "Wild 'N Out."

We broke the story ... 3 black comedians are in line to fill the hosting slot ... Marlon Wayans, Tone Bell and Brandon Mychal Smith.

BTW ... Brandon took a swipe at Ben Carson, whom he apparently thinks is in NBC's sweet spot.

That's when Nick went in ... pulling our camera guy to the side and giving a step-by-step on how he tried to get a fight with Bisping but The Count wasn't down -- despite some serious cash incentives.

GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE

"NFL on FOX" star Joe Buck says Colin Kaepernick's decision to end his national anthem protest is NOT about getting hired by another team ... and he's got the evidence to prove it.

Buck was leaving Mastro's Steakhouse in Bev Hills where he gave Kaep serious props for not just standing up for what he believes in ... but also putting his money where his mouth is.

And for all the skeptics saying Kaepernick is abandoning his protest in a desperate move to get a new contract with a new team ... Buck explains why that theory doesn't really hold water.

'Bachelor' Finalist Vanessa + Wedding Gown Pic = ???

Published | Updated

Vanessa Grimaldi trolled the hell out of 'Bachelor' fans by posing with a bunch of wedding dresses ... but we've learned it was all business -- and NOT Nick Viall business.

Vanessa, one of the last 3 women standing this season, posed for a photo at Le Chateau in Montreal with creative coordinator Holly Wiancko -- and more importantly -- racks full of wedding and bridesmaids dresses.

Naturally, many fans thought Vanessa had just spoiled the final rose ceremony ... that she was already prepping to be Mrs. Viall. Well, you can stop searching for their wedding registry.

Sources connected to Le Chateau tell us the shop invited Vanessa -- who's from Montreal -- to check out their new line and to talk about a partnership once 'Bachelor' wraps. We're told she didn't try on anything from the bridal section.

Of course, they'd welcome her back ... IF her relationship status changes soon.

Justin Bieber is in a race to the bottom ... but at least now he's got some attractive company.

Bieber took a 1-on-1 hike with his model friend, Ashley Moore, who seemed down to get physical with him in a friendly competition running on a canyon trail.

If there's one thing we know about Bieber ... he tends to open up in the wilderness. Bodes well for Ashley. Plus they've hung out before -- couple years ago at a Clippers game -- so, seems like they've got a connection.

Canelo Alvarez is coming out swinging at the possibility of a Mayweather vs. McGregor fight -- saying the whole concept is disrespectful to the sport he loves.

Canelo -- who famously fought Mayweather back in 2013 -- says talks of a superfight are nothing more than a "joke."

Look, the reality is everyone is talking about the hypothetical match instead of the ACTUAL fights going down (like the upcoming Canelo vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. fight) ... and we're guessing that's pissing him off.

DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a message for Kyrie Irving ... KEEP YOUR DUMB FLAT EARTH BS OUTTA SCIENCE ... saying the world would be a better place if Irving sticks to the court.

Irving caused a stir earlier this week when he appeared on a podcast and said -- completely seriously -- that the earth is flat. That's right kids, your favorite point guard is a flat earther.

We talked to Tyson, one of the smartest men on earth, and he told us he has zero problem with Irving's outrageous claim, as long as Kyrie never does anything remotely having to do with scientific thought.

Bonus shade? Tyson gives us a suggestion of what should happen to every single flat earther left on the surface of this round planet ... and it's pretty hilarious.
