Gossip / Rumors

Khloe Kardashian watched attentively Saturday night as BF Tristan Thompson tried in vain to beat the L.A. Clippers ... and she did nothing to stop the rumor she's engaged.

Khloe was wearing a massive ring as she sat with pal Malika Haqq. She's worn the ring over the last few days, but mum's been the word.

Khloe officially got divorced from Lamar Odom in December.

Caitlyn Jenner won't be giving reality TV another go as a housewife of Beverly Hills ... TMZ has learned.

The rumors Cait is joining 'RHOBH' just ain't true. Sources close to production tell us she was neither asked, nor considered as a possible addition in the first place.

Cait's now canceled show, "I Am Cait," aired on E!, which is owned by NBCUniversal, like Bravo. We're guessing people thought that would make it easier for Caitlyn to jump to 'Housewives' ... but it's a moot point. It's not happening.

If Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America 2" tweet was the smoke, then here's the fire -- there IS a plan to shoot a sequel!

Sources close to Eddie tell us he's in the early writing stages of the project. No word yet on which original cast members would return because he's still tinkering with the plot. So, it really could happen, but the mystery is how it ended up on Twitter.

The Wednesday night post simply said, "Coming to America sequel?" with a pic of Vanessa Bell Calloway in character. Eddie's camp tells us he doesn't tweet. Our sources say he has a social media team to do that stuff.

The tweet and Eddie's whole account have since been deleted. That's most likely because we're told there was a plan to post something like this, but it wasn't supposed to happen yet. As we said, Eddie's still writing.

The premature release caught fans and Princess Imani by surprise. Vanessa, who's barely aged in the nearly 30 years since the original film, told us she's ready to go.

So are fans, so someone just yell "Action!" already.

Another big night out for Scottie Pippen ... but this time, no Larsa in sight.

Instead, the ex-NBA star left Bootsy Bellows nightclub on the Sunset Strip with a couple hot chicks in tight dresses.

Of course, it's possible they're all just friends ... we're looking into it.

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.

J Lo made it official -- she and A-Rod are banging, and she let the cat out of the bag by posting a pic with him ... possibly in bed.

She pulled the ole post and delete Sunday ... briefly putting the pic on her Instagram story. A-Rod's face is covered but that's him playfully palming her head. They were spotted together in the Bahamas this weekend on a romantic getaway.

Drake who?

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 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.

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.

Nick Diaz says Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre are STUPID for not fighting him -- telling TMZ Sports he'd make them both a lot of money ... but they're too chicken to take the match.

We got Diaz leaving the UFC 209 in Vegas ... and after he was done insulting UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley ... we asked him his thoughts on Bisping & St-Pierre locking horns in the future.

"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.

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.

Cody Garbrandt says he's ready to release video footage showing him knocking out T.J. Dillashaw during a training session ... unless his UFC rival does one very humiliating thing.

Cody is out in Vegas for UFC 209 where he confirmed the video is very real -- claiming it was shot sometime around 2012.

The reigning bantamweight champ says he's sick and tired of T.J. claiming the KO never happened and he's wants to release the footage to protect his credibility.

Chris Brown's sick and tired of reading angry headlines about himself.

The singer posted a video Thursday night after an explosive article was published alleging his downward spiral is due to his heavy use of coke, Xanax, molly and lean.

Chris dismisses it as an attempt to slam him while he's promoting his upcoming tour, and he's pissed people care who he's dating.

NBA star Chandler Parsons has a big fan in Bella Thorne ... they're not only going to see movies together, they also shared a kiss in Mexico.

If the Shaq vs. Big Show supermatch at WrestleMania falls apart, The Miz says don't point the finger at Show.

With Shaq saying things are not looking good behind the scenes, everyone wants to know who to blame if the big men don't square off in April.

"I don't think Big Show would back out," Miz says ... "I don't see him backing out of anything ... especially WrestleMania. It's the biggest event of the year."
