Rev. Al Sharpton If Trump Can Tweet, I Can Selfie ... It's My Nat'l Holiday Right!
In case you haven't noticed, Al Sharpton's been taking a lot of selfies lately ... and it might be because of Donald Trump.
We got the the civil rights leader Wednesday in NYC, and asked what a lot of people have been wondering about him lately -- what up with the selfie game, Al???
He broke it down for us, and the Prez is only part of it. The other part is about that gym life.
As the Rev says ... back up, haters.

Blac Chyna & Rob K. Back with a Bang
Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are back on again ... or at the very least getting it on again.
Rob showed up at Chyna's doorstep last week and hasn't left.
We showed you how they spent Father's Day ... at Disneyland with 7-month-old Dream. As we said, it didn't make a whole lot of sense for them to take an infant to a theme park she can't appreciate, so it seems liked it was more for them than the kid.
Now we've found out Rob's been there every day and every night ... going on a week. They've been socializing with friends and family with BBQ's and a pool party, and they've taken hikes together.
Chyna dropped a ton of cash on gifts for Father's Day, including a Louis Vuitton bag, a customized Dodgers hat, sneakers and white and blue roses emblazoned with an "R."
We're told this has nothing to do with a TV show or business ... they're back into each other, at least for now.

Remember Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna had a kid together? We almost forgot too ... until we saw they'd all resurfaced at Disneyland for Father's Day.
Rob and BC worked out their differences to come together Sunday with their 7-month-old daughter, Dream, for a day at the Happiest Place on Earth.
Eyewitnesses spotted them getting on and off It's a Small World -- with Chyna and Dream both rockin' Mouse ears ... and Rob opting for his go-to outfit, of course.
As we reported ... Rob and Chyna have had some bumps in the road ever since Dream was born back in November. And yet, time and time again they reunite for sweet moments like this.
From the looks of their stroller couple action, you'd never guess anything was amiss. Happy Dad Day, Rob!

Lonzo Ball to LaVar: Ignore the Haters ... I Love You
Lonzo Ball just published an open and emotional Father's Day letter to his dad -- thanking him for everything in his life, advising him to ignore the critics and telling him that he loves him.
The entire letter -- addressed to LaVar Ball -- appeared on "The Players' Tribune" and is titled, "To the Loudest Guy in the Gym."
"One of the things I admire most about you is that you don’t really care what other people think. People can have whatever opinions they want about who you are as a person, but they’ll never have all the facts. They’ll never know you like I do."
Lonzo reflects on impactful family moments including workouts, road trips, basketball games and family breakfasts.
Lonzo says he knows he wouldn't be where he is in life without LaVar -- and brags about his 4.0 high school GPA, his basketball talent and his quiet confidence.
He also mentions repaying LaVar with a car or two once he signs his NBA contract.
He concludes, "Happy Father’s Day, Dad. Love you."

The Kardashians Favorito Mexican Spot Esta Cerrado On Heels of Roach Issue
Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian had their Cinco de Mayo celebration at a Mexican restaurant that had just reopened after handling a roach problem -- and now the joint's closed again for renovations.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Casa Vega hosted the sisters, Kris Jenner and their pal Jonathan Cheban on May 5 -- 1 day after it reopened following a health department shutdown.
County officials temporarily closed the Sherman Oaks spot on May 2 after reportedly getting a tip about las cucarachas. Casa Vega said 2 of 'em were found in a storage room, but they squashed the issue quickly.
Now Casa Vega's closed again, and this time for a full kitchen remodel. The restaurant says it's adding completely new equipment. Employees were outside Wednesday scrubbing down all the gear.
Sorry, Khlo ... no Taco Tuesday next week.

Khloe Kardashian Yeah, That Was a Joint in Her Hand ... NBD for 'KUWTK'
Khloe just tweeted about the J, sayin, "The funny thing is I don't smoke lol I don't mind if you do. To each their own. I was bringing it to someone else but it is what it is."
If Khloe Kardashian appeared to be smoking weed on Sunday night's episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" ... it's only because she was ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to production tell us ... yes, that was a joint in her hand as she hugged Scott Disick. We're told producers didn't mind Khloe shooting scenes with it because it was natural -- she was having a good time with the fam in Costa Rica, and sometimes ganja happens.
For the record ... cannabis is decriminalized for personal use in CR.
Translation: Smoke 'em if ya got 'em. And Khloe definitely had 'em. Pura Vida!

Russell Wilson & Ciara Shut Down Mother's Day Haters
Russell Wilson and Ciara don't give a crap what the Internet says about their family ... baby Future's gonna hang with his stepdad whether you like it or not.
Ciara posted this video Sunday afternoon of Future Jr. getting his Mother's Day on with Russ right next to him. Yeah, the kid's cute as hell, but this clip's more significant than that.
Russell caught some heat from online trolls who thought he was out of line for including Future's son when he said, "our kids."
It's the sweetest video ... that's actually a giant middle finger.

Russell Wilson Catches Heat for Mother's Day Note To Ciara and 'Our' Kids
Russell Wilson simply tried to wish his wife, Ciara, a happy Mother's Day, but some Future fans are giving him flak for seemingly claiming the rapper's son as his.
Russell's note on social media to Ciara said, "Nothing better than spending time with you. You are an amazing mom & I'm so grateful." Good so far.
Then, he added, "I get to spend the rest of my life with you & raising our kids. I love you!"
The "our" is what has haters jumping on Russ, not-so-kindly reminding him he shouldn't claim another man's kid. In Russell's defense, baby Future spends a majority of his time with mom and stepdad ... thanks to the custody settlement.
On the other hand ... Russ's fans were also quick to jump to his defense.
File this under no good deed goes unpunished, and ... happy baby mama drama day!

Mike Huckabee Cinco de Mayo Plan Salsa and Speedy Gonzales
Mike Huckabee has a Cinco de Mayo plan that has people hotter than a bottle of Tapatio.
The former Arkansas Guv said on Twitter he's celebrating the day by downing "an entire jar of hot salsa and watching old Speedy Gonzales cartoons and speak[ing] Spanish all day."
It took about a second for a torrent of hate to be directed Huckabee's way. One person wrote, "Your attempts at humor fail almost as miserably as your attempts to run for President."
Another person wrote, "Everywhere you go you should wish everyone a blessed day in Spanish by saying 'Soy Pendejo'" ... translation ... I'm an idiot.

'May the Fourth' Day 24k Gold Darth Vader Mask ... Yours for $1.4 Million!!
You'd think a Darth Vader mask on sale for $1.4 million would at least have been worn in one of the 'Star Wars' films, but not so ... and yet, it's still pretty baller.
Japanese jeweler Ginza Tanaka created the Sith Lord's famous mask in solid 24 carat gold for the die-hard 'Star Wars' fan with super deep pockets. Naturally it had to hit the market today, May the Fourth ... aka Star Wars Day.
Don't worry about it being sold off. They're custom order, which means Ginza Tanaka seems to think more than one of these bad boys will sell. FYI, it takes about 10 goldsmiths 3 months to create the piece.
The mask weighs 33 pounds, so you better have a strong neck. Or actual use of the Force.

Darth Vader 'May the Fourth' Day Costume Sparks School Evacuation
A high school student's Darth Vader suit -- in honor of Star Wars Day -- was mistaken for a bulletproof vest, and caused an evacuation and police response in Wisconsin.
Police say the kid walked into Ashwaubenon High, near Green Bay, ready to celebrate 'May the Fourth Be With You' -- but a parent saw him, and immediately reported someone wearing body armor.
The school was put on lockdown and later evacuated, but cops say it's all an innocent mistake. Also, it's a sad sign o' the times.

Madonna's Obsessed Fan 9/11 Trial Start Doesn't Work! I'm a Retired Firefighter
Madonna's obsessed fan is ready to take New York City and its cops to court for an alleged beatdown, but he's not down to do so on 9/11 ... out of respect for his fellow firefighters.
Robert Linhart's suing the city, claiming NYPD officers roughed him up while arresting him in 2010 outside Madonna's home. On Tuesday, the court scheduled the trial to start on September 11.
Linhart and his attorney, Pete Gleason, are pissed because they're both retired members of FDNY. Gleason tells TMZ lower Manhattan courts should be closed on 9/11 in remembrance of officers who died responding to the World Trade Center.
They are petitioning the court to move the start date, ASAP.
As we reported ... Linhart was seeking a $5 mil settlement from NYC to make his lawsuit go away. City attorneys balked at that figure.

Killer Mike 4/20 for My 42nd? Now THAT's Lit!
Hard to tell which birthday gift Killer Mike enjoyed more ... the new gold chain around his neck or the $10k worth of weed he scored. We'll go with the weed.
Mike's one of the lucky guys whose bday falls on 4/20 -- appropriate for so many reasons -- plus, this year he turned 42. Hence, his massive marijuana-themed bash in Atlanta.
Guests included OutKast's Big Boi, Sleepy Brown, Big K.R.I.T. and Pastor Troy, who all got to snack on a wide range of edibles. Mike also got a car as a gift, but again -- he definitely seemed to be enjoying the huge joints more than anything else.
