Gossip / Rumors

Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris surfaced in Nashville ... could it be?

Taylor and the famous DJ were coming out of Whole Foods Wednesday night -- wearing matching shirts no less -- when 2 people snapped the pics.

This isn't the first time they've been together recently. Taylor went to Calvin's concert in Vegas earlier this month. There were reports he chartered a jet to fly her to the gig.

They got all flirty at the Brit Awards after-party in London back in February.

Shopping for food together ... hmmm.

"Empire" star Malik Yoba is shooting down the rumors he was fired from the hit show because he was abusing drugs -- and he's getting an apology from the guy who spread the rumor in the first place.

Malik came on TMZ Live to set the record straight, telling us he spent money to find the blogger behind the false report -- which unfortunately spread like crazy on the Internet. He assured us he's never had any issues with substance abuse ... a claim he says anyone he's ever worked with would support.

In fact, Malik explained how "Empire" creator Lee Daniels had his back when the rumor started spreading.

Billy Ray Cyrus has NO PROBLEM with his daughter's boyfriend getting chummy with chicks in Cabo.

Miley's dad was out in L.A., when a photog asked about Patrick's now famous Spring break, and Billy Ray made it clear ... he's team Patrick all the way.

The other way to interpret the video -- and accurately we might add -- is that Billy Ray's stamp of approval is proof Miley has forgiven her BF and all is well.

Lil Wayne did it big in Hollywood ... as in big PDA with Christina Milian -- the first public confirmation of the rumors they're banging.

Weezy and Christina were leaving a movie set on Tuesday and he had a firm grip on her hand ... something we've never seen them do out in the open. In fact, other than an appearance at an award show, the couple's been kinda like a unicorn.

Christina -- who's signed to Young Money -- has been mum about dating the boss, but this is clearly their coming out.

As for why Wayne was holding her hand so tightly -- just a guess, but Drake was spotted in town.

Univision illegally fired a popular host and falsely painted him as a racist ... all because he was standing up for Latinos and fighting to get them unionized ... this according to the host's angry lawyer.

As previously reported, Rodner Figueroa, who was a host on the popular "El Gordo y la Flaca," did a segment earlier this month in which a makeup artist came on and showed pics of himself transformed into female celebs, including Michelle Obama. Rodner said the Michelle pic looked like someone from the cast of "Planet of the Apes." He was fired as a result.

In a scathing letter to Univision, obtained by TMZ, Rodner's lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, says the network cooked up a phony excuse, claiming it fired him after receiving a formal complaint from Michelle Obama's Office. Singer says it's a lie ... the White House NEVER called.

Singer says the firing was far more sinister. He says Rodner had gone all Norma Rae, trying to unionize Univision, and this was a convenient way to get rid of him and destroy his career.

Rodner, who is a gay biracial Latino, insisted he was not referring to Michelle when he made his comment ... it was about the shoddy makeup work of the guest.

Singer ends his letter with a Rosa Parks reference, "Make no mistake, despite Univision's best efforts, Latino talent will not be forced to 'sit in the back of the bus' any longer."

Singer is demanding that Univision rehire Rodner and make a public apology ... or else.

Miley Cyrus was in the mood for sushi, and forgiveness -- she and Patrick Schwarzenegger went out together for the first time since he sucked body shots off a chick on spring break.

Patrick and Miley hit up Kiwami in Studio City, CA -- not far from her house on Monday night. ET got a shot of them inside ... and all signs point to Patrick getting a pass for his Cabo fiesta with his ex-GF and his BFF's GF.

According to ET's sources in the restaurant, they were very romantic -- kissing, holding hands, and laughing ... probably NOT about his Mexico shenanigans, but looks like she's over it.

Sooo ... wedding still on?

Tiki Barber is no Joe Giudice ... telling TMZ Sports he and his wife are NOT going to sign on for the next season of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" ... despite reports to the contrary.

The former NY Giants running back and his wife Traci Lynn Johnson were leaving The Palm in NYC when we asked about rumblings that Traci Lynn was in talks to replace Teresa Giudice ... since she's currently locked up.

But the couple shot down that rumor faster than Teresa could flip a table -- telling TMZ Sports, "Don't believe everything you read."

They hate Masika Tucker for sure, but "Love & Hip Hop" stars Nikki and Marcelle Mudarris swear they did not post that ratchet billboard on the Sunset Strip with Masika's mug shot and the word, "T.H.O.T."

We broke the story ... the owner of Ace of Diamonds is suing the pair for ruining his business by plastering Masika's 10-year-old DUI mug high above the strip, calling her out as a whore.

Nikki and Marcelle's lawyer tells us, they weren't the culprits and they have no idea who did it. The attorney says his clients will fight tooth and nail in court, because they've been wrongly accused.

They're fun.

Patrick Schwarzenegger looked the worse for wear in Malibu Saturday.

Arnold's son returned from Spring Break in Cabo, where he got chummy with a couple of chicks, apparently much to the dismay of Miley Cyrus.

One girl was his best friend's girlfriend, and the other was his ex, but it was all out in the open and certainly looked innocent enough ... to some, but not MIley.

Patrick and a few buds hit up a Malibu restaurant, where he hooded up, looking pretty pensive.

Patrick is a student at USC. Miley didn't go to college. Is this just part of a ritual that Miley doesn't understand, or does she have a point?

We're kinda tired of solving this mystery, so we'll leave it to you. Is Kim Kardashian that fickle that she'd change her hair color twice in the same month, or is wearing a wig?

This pic was taken Friday in Calabasas. It paints a dark picture of Kim K ... this, just weeks after she became blonde during Paris Fashion Week.

Check out this pic Kim posted with her photographer, Ellen von Unwerth. BTW, Ellen specializes in "erotic femininity."

Now that we think about it, screw the hair. What's Kim up to now?

Jamie Foxx was more than happy to stop for photogs Friday so he could shoot down stories that he's dating Katie Holmes.

Foxx was at an ATM in Westlake when he was asked about the reported relationship, and he joked that the tabloids have been trying to make that a story for 3 years.

Jamie said -- and we've independently confirmed -- he was around Katie quite a bit recently for an animation project they are doing with "CSI" creator Anthony Zuiker.

Patrick Schwarzenegger's just doing what every guy does on spring break, but in these new photos he happens to be doing it with his ex-girlfriend ... which will be harder to explain to Miley Cyrus.

The pics just surfaced from the same day he was doing body shots off his BFF's girlfriend ... and relatively speaking, they're pretty innocent.

PS and the green bikini hottie -- named Taylor Burns -- are chatting, laughing, and she was even considerate enough to rub suntan lotion on his back. The sun IS hot down Mexico way.

Here's the thing ... guys and girls socialize on Spring break -- sometimes up close and drunkenly. Patrick's just having a regular college experience. His challenge is Miley didn't have that experience.

Still, we gotta say the ex-factor does complicate things. Good luck, Patrick.

Andre Drummond says he's 100% NOT dating famed escort Jenna Shea ... despite reports to the contrary ... telling TMZ Sports the rumors spiraled out of control after they posed for one innocent pic together.

FYI -- Shea is a legend in the escort world ... having been connected to all sorts of NBA stars, NFL stars and rappers ... and after pics surfaced with Drummond this week, there were rumblings they were hookin' up.

But the Detroit Pistons star tells TMZ Sports ... that's simply not the case -- "I'm not dating her. I was at a bowling alley and she took a picture with me and my friend."

Drummond says he knew who Shea was when she asked for the pic -- but says, "I just figured she wanted to take a picture."

For her part, Shea tells TMZ Sports Drummond is telling the truth -- adding, "He was a nice guy."

Miley Cyrus may be pissed off at Patrick Schwarzenegger ... but she's gotta do something to shield him from the death threats he's receiving from her rabid fans.

Patrick's assurances he'd never cheat on his lady have fallen on deaf ears, because Miley's legions are sending thousands of hate tweets threatening to kill him and burn down his pizza shop.

One fan warned, "you better run for your life when you come to LA" and "I hope your pizza place burns down." Another wondered, "Who's gonna kill Patrick for us?"

Others threatened all-out war "... be ready for what's about to come," punctuating the threat with a knife and poo emojis.

Of course, he couldn't escape without an Arnold reference ... "You and your dad have a way of f***ing good s*** up."

Yikes.

Miley Cyrus knows the chick boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger hung out with and hung all over in Cabo ... because she's hung out with her too.

Her name is Natalie, and she spent time with Miley at a USC football game in November. Natalie was with a guy, who we're told is her boyfriend.

Patrick says the guy is one of his best friends so it was purely innocent when he did body shots off of her and was huggin' on her.

Miley apparently is not ok with it, based on her social media posts Monday and the video we shot at the Laugh Factory later that night.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes want nothing to do with each other ... to the point they don't speak to one another, even about Suri.

Sources close to both Tom and Katie tell us they do not communicate at all. There are no direct co-parenting discussions. Everything regarding Suri -- visitation, child-rearing, etc. -- is handled through intermediaries.

Our sources say there are bad feelings on both sides, and no desire on either Tom or Katie's part to mend fences.

As for Suri ... sources close to Tom say he's still involved in his daughter's life, although he hasn't seen her in months because he's been in London shooting "Mission Impossible 5." Production wrapped last Thursday and our Tom sources say he's coming back to L.A. and will see Suri when he returns.

On the Katie side we're told she's dissatisfied with Tom's involvement in their daughter's life ... that it hasn't been enough.

And there's this ... we've been told there is some sort of relationship between Katie and Jamie Foxx. Our Tom sources wouldn't comment on the relationship, but say Tom has been concerned in the past with other boyfriends because of a possible negative influence on Suri.
