SZA Coachella Collab with Cardi B ... Yeah, That'd be Gnarly!!!
SZA's stoked to take the stage with Cardi B at Coachella ... IF that's the plan, but she's not even trying to hide her excitement over the possibility.
The red-hot singer was leaving Nas' restaurant, Sweet Chick, Thursday in L.A. when she told us it would be an honor to perform with Cardi at the festival, but she can't give away secrets.
It would totally make sense ... SZA's featured on Cardi's new album, "Invasion of Privacy," on the track "I Do" -- and they're both already on the Coachella lineup. Somebody's gotta make it happen!
We also asked her about Cardi's brewing beef with Nicki Minaj over their "Motorsport" collab.
How can you say someone changed their verse & forget to say Quavo TOLD me to remove my singing part (which I loved) & Atlantic told me to remove your name from my verse per your request? So how were those changes gonna happen if I didn’t “change” my verse? 😩🤣 #NickiDay #ChunLi
@NICKIMINAJ
If ya missed it ... Cardi insinuated Nicki tried to one-up her, and Nicki claims Cardi and Migos bullied her into making changes to her verses.
SZA's take? Don't believe the hype.

James Comey Trump Came to Me To Talk Golden Showers
When it rains it pours ... Donald Trump worried there was a small chance his wife, Melania, might believe Russian hookers peed on a hotel bed where Trump was staying ... this according to former FBI director James Comey.
The hook to Comey's new book -- "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership" -- is that Trump was extremely upset over the so called Christopher Steele dossier, in which he claimed Trump watched prostitutes urinate on a hotel mattress "as a way of soiling the bed."
Trump called BS on the dossier, but privately met with Comey during a dinner a week after he was sworn in as President, and started ranting it was untrue. In the book, Comey says Trump wanted him to shoot down the story, because it was bothering him that there was "even a one percent chance ... Melania thought it was true."
Comey muses in the book why Melania might ever entertain the idea her husband was into golden showers. The former FBI chief added there was "zero chance" his own wife would believe such a claim.

Saquon Barkley Rocks NY Giants Gear ... To Barber Shop
Saquon Barkley was rockin' a NY Giants sweatshirt to a Pennsylvania barber shop and TMZ Sports has the photos.
Of course, there's a lot of buzz that the former Penn State running back is being targeted by the Giants -- who have the #2 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Is it a good sign for NY Giants fans? Sure ... but don't go celebrating just yet.
Sources close to Barkley tell us the sweatshirt was a gift given to him from the Giants when he met with the team -- and it just happened to be laying around when he needed a shirt to go get a haircut.
FYI -- we're told players are often given team swag during pre-draft visits.
In other words ... Barkley's position is that he'd still be happy to be drafted by any team.
But S.B. is widely considered the best RB in the draft -- and ya gotta think Eli Manning and Odell Beckham Jr. are gonna be stoked when they see these pics.

Trump Tower Doorman Claims Prez has Love Child ... I Was Told to Be Nice to the Mom
Donald Trump has a sixth child nobody knows about -- a kid he had with his former housekeeper ... according to a stunning revelation by a doorman who used to work at Trump Tower.
Dino Sajudin has just doubled down on his claim, saying ... "I can confirm that while working at Trump World Tower I was instructed not to criticize President Trump's former housekeeper due to a prior relationship she had with President Trump which produced a child."
Sajudin also admits he had a confidential agreement with The National Enquirer about the story of Trump fathering a child out of wedlock in the late '80s.
Earlier Thursday, a report came out saying the Enquirer paid $30,000 for Sajudin's story in order to bury it ... which is similar to allegations made by Karen McDougal regarding her story of having an affair with Trump. The outlet says after investigating it determined Sajudin's claim was false.
The Trump Organization also denied his claims.
If the story turns out to be true, it would mean the Prez has a child around 30 years of age ... which would put him or her older than Tiffany but younger than Eric.

Stan Lee Denies Elder Abuse ... Leave Me and My Friends Alone!!!
Stan Lee is mad as hell over reports he's being abused and taken advantage of, because he says they're completely untrue ... and he's going to do whatever it takes to set the record straight.
The legendary Marvel creator tells TMZ ... material recently published about him and his friends -- specifically Keya Morgan -- is nothing but slander. Lee says the claims are "hateful and harmful" and he can't even believe some of the accusations.
Stan's adamant he's not being mistreated, and suggests someone might have a personal vendetta. In any event, he's ready to take legal action against any media outlets wrongly trashing him.
As we've reported ... Lee's endured several rough months. He's been dealing with a bizarre blood heist, millions of dollars disappearing, pneumonia, and the death of his wife.
The man's fed up. 'Nuff said.

Cardi B Does This Bodak Yellow Cover Up My Bodak Preggo?
Cardi B's wardrobe crew is working overtime, and will continue to be until she announces what we already know ... that she's hiding a baby bump under increasingly baggy clothing.
The "Bodak Yellow" rapper got dressed to the nines Wednesday to film her new music video in which she pays homage to salsa queen Celia Cruz. The track features J Balvin and Bad Bunny, who were also at the shoot.
The spotlight clearly belonged to Cardi ... or, more specifically, her midsection. She's spending a lot of time on set, and going to great lengths to hide her belly. She did the same earlier this month at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
TMZ broke the story ... Cardi's people told nightclub staffers she's pregnant during Super Bowl weekend, and she's slated to perform at Coachella -- while pregnant -- before poppin' out the baby this summer.

Hulk Hogan I'm Not Coming Back at WrestleMania ... 'Maybe Someday'
Hulk Hogan and the WWE might be in talks, but Hulk tells TMZ Sports Hulkamania will NOT be running wild at WrestleMania 34, brother!!!
We got the Hulkster touching down at LAX ... and he immediately shut down the rumors of his 24-inch pythons popping up at the grandest stage of them all next weekend.
"No sir ... no WrestleMania," Hogan said.
As for whether he's ever coming back, all Hulk could tell us was, "Maybe someday, brotha."
Now, we feel like we should mention that Ronda Rousey gave us a solid "no" when we asked if she'd be at the Royal Rumble ... and we all know how that turned out.
Plus, we shot Nick and Brooke Hogan at LAX the other day, and they both made it clear they're 100% behind their dad crashing the party in New Orleans!!

Beyonce Mystery Biter is Sanaa Lathan According to Tiffany Haddish Sources
We know who the biter is in the Beyonce mystery ... we're told it's none other than Sanaa Lathan.
Multiple sources tell TMZ, Tiffany Haddish has told multiple people the culprit is Sanaa.
One source said it was not an aggressive bite ... it was playful and noninvasive, but still caught Beyonce off guard.
Sanaa tweeted a faint denial, saying "Y'all are funny. Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce and if I did it would've have been a love bite."
The incident in question went down in December, at an after-party for Jay-Z's 4:44 concert at The Forum.
The story goes ... Sanaa was talking to Jay in a way that made Bey uncomfortable. Beyonce went over to Sanaa who brushed off any insinuation of inappropriate conduct and then gave her a jokey bite.
Tiffany told Beyonce she was going to kick Sanaa's ass, but Bey told her to let it go.
Chrissy Teigen I Know Who Bit Beyonce, But ... I Love Her Too Much to Say
Chrissy Teigen knows who bit Beyonce on the face but she's not ready to give up the culprit just yet ... out of love.
Chrissy's been dropping more than a few hints she knows who dunnit, ever since Tiffany Haddish recounted the story of an actress daring to nibble on Queen Bey's face during a party in December.
We asked Chrissy for a couple of hints Tuesday outside 30 Rock in NYC ... and she was wary of giving the Beyhive too much info to close in on the suspect. Plus, she loves Bey AND the biter!
As Tiffany tells it, Beyonce remained calm because she thought the actress was "on drugs" -- which might explain why no one has copped to it.
We threw a couple names out at Chrissy and, based on her reaction, we're gonna scratch Jennifer Lawrence off the list of possible perps. Unless ...

Chrissy Metz Jessica Ain't Hating on Mandy Moore!!!
Chrissy Metz scoffs at the idea Jessica Simpson is jealous of Mandy Moore's success.
We got the "This Is Us" star out in NYC Monday and wanted to get her take on a recent report that Jessica's raging with envy at Mandy's on-screen success on the hit NBC show. As you know, Jessica and Mandy rose to stardom around the same time nearly 2 decades ago.
Jessica now reportedly feels a slap in the face when she sees Mandy on billboards all over L.A. and resents she was never taken seriously as an actress. Mandy's critically-acclaimed performance is salt in an open wound.
Chrissy says it's all nonsense ... though our last question did stump her.

WWE's Mark Henry I'm Retired, For Now ... '19 WWE Comeback?
Former WWE world champ Mark Henry ain't slammin' the door on his career in the ring ... saying there's still a chance he'd come back even though he's technically retired.
We spoke to The World's Strongest Man ahead of his WWE Hall of Fame induction at WrestleMania 34 in April ... and Mark told us he's too beat up to compete in the next year or two, at least.
But, could the right matchup lure him back inside the squared circle?
"If it was a perfect circumstance and something happened down the road, yeah," Henry told TMZ Sports.
Ain't the first time Mark's pulled the ol' switcheroo ... he had the entire WWE universe fooled with his infamous retirement speech back in 2013 ... before he flipped the script and body-slammed his rival, John Cena, straight through the mat!!
For his HOF induction, some fans figured Cena would get to do the honor ... but Mark says he actually has another BIG WWE superstar in mind (hint, hint).

Sean McVay Suh To Rams Not A Done Deal ... But We're Hopeful
Sean McVay says anyone thinking Ndamukong Suh to the Rams is a done deal should pump their brakes ... telling TMZ Sports the deal is anything but done yet.
There was some speculation that Suh had settled on the Rams because after meeting with L.A. he canceled scheduled meetings with some other teams.
We got McVay out at LAX and asked the head man in L.A. if the Suh era in Tinseltown was a forgone conclusion, and Sean was cautiously optimistic at best.
"We'll see, excited about Marcus and Aquib, and if we're able to make that other move that'd be good for us, but we'll see. He's got a lot of other teams that want him."
Coach is totally Hollywood now ... he's mastered the cliffhanger.

Aubrey O'Day I Had A Sexual Relationship with DJT Jr. But, That's Not Why He's Getting Divorced
Aubrey O'Day is telling close friends she absolutely had a sexual relationship with Donald Trump Jr. for months, but she strongly believes it has nothing to do with Trump's divorce.
Sources closely connected to O'Day tell TMZ, she had an affair with Trump Jr., but it didn't start until AFTER she filmed "The Celebrity Apprentice." She says she has "proof" of the affair. Our sources say Aubrey was told by Trump his marriage had fallen apart and he intended to leave his wife, Vanessa, and Aubrey believed it.
The sources say Vanessa knew about the affair when it was happening in 2012. We're told Vanessa flew into a rage and eventually it got to Donald Trump, who told his son, in no uncertain terms, he had to end the relationship and "focus on his marriage to make it work."
DJT Jr. swiftly cut things off with Aubrey.
We're told Aubrey is "devastated" people are calling her a homewrecker. She says, first of all, she was told DJT Jr.'s marriage was over. Secondly, she says her affair did NOT trigger the divorce 6 years later.
ICYMI, gossip outlets are reporting that Donald Trump Jr. cheated on his then-pregnant wife, Vanessa Trump, w/ Aubrey O'Day shortly after they met on season 5 of The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011.
@LaurenWern
This rumor surfaced in 2012; interest in it has now been renewed.
Watch this: pic.twitter.com/Ri0GWUH0wN
For now Aubrey doesn't want to come forward and tell her story because, as one source put it, "she's already lost." We're told she didn't sign an NDA and was never even asked to sign one ... and she says she hasn't gotten a penny from the Trump family.
She says no one from Trump's family has reached out to her since the news broke.

John Mayer Waiting, Waiting ... On The Valet With A Hug Exchange
John Mayer and Hailey Baldwin hugged it out leaving dinner Thursday night ... but it just seems super friendly.
The duo was joined by other friends including "Boy Meets World" star Danielle Fishel at dinner in the San Fernando Valley. Baldwin had congratulated Fishel who just got engaged, so it could've been the reason for the get together.

There are rumors Baldwin was dating Shawn Mendes and Mendes is reportedly tight with Mayer, although Mendes wasn't at the dinner.
The only person missing from the shindig who's got connections to all of them ... the Biebs.

Isaiah Washington Shonda Rhimes Agrees with Me ... Racism at ABC Got Me Booted off 'Grey's'!!!
Isaiah Washington insists he was ousted from "Grey's Anatomy" in 2007 over false accusations fueled by an allegedly racist ABC exec ... and he says Shonda Rhimes knows it too, and has his back.
The actor tells us Shonda -- creator and exec producer of 'Grey's' -- has "nothing good to say" about ABC or its exec VP, Howard Davine. He also says Shonda believes Davine should be investigated for his "racist, biased behavior."
What Isaiah's suggesting is pretty explosive. First, that the stories about him making homophobic comments on the 'Grey's' set were lies to get him blackballed in Hollywood. Second, Shonda, the queen of TGIT, taking a stand against ABC says a lot.
She's the network's biggest content creator, and if she's calling out one of its execs ... y'know she's pissed.
Isaiah says a whistleblower tipped him off to Davine's alleged actions, and now he's hoping the Time's Up movement or others get on board with his fight.
We've reached out to Shonda's office several times, but so far no word back.
