Gossip / Rumors

Orlando Bloom surprisingly spoke out about his relationship with Selena Gomez ... and he says there's LESS than meets the eye.

Orlando flew to LAX Wednesday and talked to photogs about the first leg of his trip ... where he flew to Canada with Selena Gomez. Orlando says it was nothing more than the fact that they were both attending We Day ... a conference to inspire young people the change the world by doing good things.

Ray J called out Tyga in a big way ... saying he's crossed the line messing with Kylie Jenner.

Ray and Princess Love were leaving Warwick in Hollywood Wednesday night when they announced their allegiance to Blac Chyna.

But the best part ... Mr. J explains the right and wrong way to cavort with a Kardashian.

Tyrese went nuclear on the comedian who dared to drop some ridiculous casting couch accusations -- and safe to say, the comedian will NOT be laughing at this videotaped response ... but you will ... 'cause it's awesome.

The comedian, Spanky Hayes, claims he was beaten out for the lead in "Baby Boy" because Tyrese performed sexual favors for director John Singleton. Tyrese recorded a rebuttal to Spanky, and the hysterical theme of it is ... "You know you done f**ked up, right?"

Just for good measure -- Tyrese shot the whole comeback while walking around his mansion in a fur robe and smoking a cigar. Spanky, you've been served.

Lionel Richie didn't answer immediately when we asked him if the rumor was true that he's Khloe Kardashian's dad ... but he answered definitively.

Khloe's paternity made headlines again when a tabloid claimed the "Dancing on the Ceiling" crooner was actually her pops.

But as he left Madeo Monday night, Richie laughed it off ... though he does care for KK very much.

Of course he isn't, everyone knows it's really O.J. Simpson ... We kid.

If Nicki Minaj and her boyfriend are still together, then he's got a weird way of showing the love ... having 2 of his 3 Nicki tats covered up with new ink.

Check out the pics for yourself ... Safaree Samuels had some work done on his chest -- though it's unclear when -- and he clearly covered up Nicki's name/mug.

Not only that, but his forearm ink looks drastically faded as well.

Neither have commented on rumors of their breakup, but Nicki definitely hinted at one back in May when she tweeted "SINGLE N READY TO MINGLE."

At the time, sources told us it was just a temporary argument and that the 2 were still together.

But healthy couples don't typically deface their better half's face, do they?

Man, love hurts.

American Music Awards sources are saying they never wanted Sinead O'Connor to stand alongside Pope Francis on their show ... they say she was the one pushing for the appearance.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ ... it was actually HER team who contacted the AMAs ... but having Sinead end her Pope beef during the show was NEVER discussed.

We're told show producers were interested in Sinead being on the show ... but they say her claims about the Pope -- which she made on her blog -- are ridiculous and a tweet was never sent.

Sources say producers feel Sinead's been spewing BS for decades, so this rant is nothing new. More importantly ... we're told she will absolutely not be appearing on the award show now.

Sinead famously ripped apart a photo of Pope John Paul II during her 1992 performance on "Saturday Night Live" ... which got her banned from the show for life.

Just because freshly single Nick Cannon spends a night with smoking hot (and freshly single) Amber Rose at an amusement park ... does NOT mean they're banging -- it just looks like it.

But Nick broke it down for us last night on his way out of a sushi joint in the Valley -- explaining why the video TMZ got of Amber and Nick on a roller coaster Friday night ... is proof they're absolutely nothing more than friends.

He makes a solid point ... unless he's using reverse psychology. Nick does cop to getting into bed with someone -- Robin Leach.

NBC News is HILARIOUS ... pretending to be above "tabloid" celebrity news and then not-so-coyly jumping into that pool.

Hoda Kotb interviewed Kris Jenner on "Today" Monday ... pretending to care about her new cookbook -- but you gotta hear how she transitions into transsexual talk. Hysterical.

It's also interesting. Kris calls reports about Bruce Jenner becoming a woman "silly" ... saying there have been rumors since the '70s. But when it came to our story about Kris being furious that Bruce is now dating her former BFF ... she pretends she doesn't know who he's dating. She does.

Nice cooking segment.

Bruce Jenner can't be contained ... well, not by his shirt anyway.

B.J. hit up Starbucks Saturday afternoon in Calabasas after a round of golf, and got all crazy -- untucking his shirt on the way in for a more casual look.

As we previously reported ... Bruce is dating one of Kris Jenner's best friends named Ronda Kamihira -- and we're told his ex-wife has been crying every night over it.

Bruce and his ponytail ... seem okay with the single life.

First it looked like Amber Rose was into Nick Cannon ... then she threw everyone off the trail by grinding on Nick Simmons -- but this new video might tell a different story.

Cannon and Rose hit up Knott's Berry Farm Friday night in Buena Park, CA ... and they were spotted in the front row of Xcelerator -- with all the rows behind them apparently cleared out for some reason.

Now we know it's just a ride ... they're not walking hand-in-hand or anything -- but it's still pretty telling that the two of them went to a theme park together, alone.

Plus, Nick Simmons has repeatedly said he and Amber are just friends -- even though it seemed like BS.

Tyga is NOT hooked on Kylie Jenner ... at least if you believe what his baby mama just telegraphed.

Blac Chyna just posted a pic of her and Tyga all cuddly ... then almost instantly deleted it from her Instagram. The caption read, "by the way he said I'm not missin no meals" -- a reference to fine asses from "Anaconda."

The message ... he likes Chyna's ass ... NOT anyone else's.

Here's the rub. Tyga's been seen all over town with 17-year-old Kylie ... most recently on Tuesday, and it sure looked like a date.

Sorry, Internet ... that's not Beyonce topless at the beach -- no matter how much you want it to be.

Photos started circulating Tuesday morning ... showing a woman who looks a lot like Bey flaunting yellow bikini bottoms, and nothing else. Just fully exposed whoppers.

However ... we've got an eye for this stuff, and dug into the archives to discover the woman in the pics is actually ex-Big Brother U.K. contestant Rachael White -- and the photos were shot back in 2011.

Beautiful Liar.

L.A. Clippers star Matt Barnes has separated from his reality star wife Gloria Govan ... TMZ Sports has learned -- and sources close to the couple tell us it's all over "trust issues."

Barnes and Govan were married back in 2012 -- and have 5-year-old twin boys together.

Sources connected to the couple tell us Matt and "Basketball Wives: LA" star Gloria have been separated for about 6 weeks.

We're told they're still technically living in the same house -- but it's just temporary and it's just a matter of time before one of them moves out and they start the divorce process.

Maybe one of the biggest signs things were going south ... Matt hasn't posted a picture of Gloria on Instagram in months. And we haven't been able to find a picture of Gloria wearing her wedding ring since late-August.

Famous exes Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak went out for dinner Sunday night in Hollywood ...which wouldn't be a big deal -- they're still friends and co-workers -- except that she just told the world B.J.'s her dream guy. Sooo ... reuniting?

Our photog saw them at Katsuya, but neither wanted to talk. They did drive off together though.

The former "Office" co-stars dated ten years ago, and Kaling recently told Howard Stern she was heartbroken when he called it off ... and would have married him, had he asked.

They've remained good friends since the break-up -- and B.J. has been an executive producer on "The Mindy Project." But does her revelation turn friendly dinners into awkward ones? BJ's already called their relationship "complicated."

Mariah Carey may have just fired her first shot at Nick Cannon ... singing, "I know you cheated, motherf***er."

Mariah was in Tokyo ... singing Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain," a song about a cheating lover.

Listen closely ... right around 7 seconds in, it sounds like she changes the lyrics from "And I know you cheat/Right or wrong, don't matter" to "I know you cheated motherf***er."

So whaddya think?

Nick Simmons swears up and down he and Amber Rose are just friends ... but it reeks of a cover up.

Nick and Amber were once again out on the town last night and hit up the Roxy. When we asked about their "new relationship" ... Nick tried shooting down the whole thing.

When our photog reminded him of the video showing them grinding on each other at Playhouse -- Nick response was ... well, not compelling.

Check it out and tell us what you think.
