Anthony Jeselnik 'I Take Great Pleasure' ... In Alleged Patriots Drama

Published | Updated

Comedian Anthony Jeselnik is a HUGE Steelers fan ... so how does he feel about the ESPN report claiming Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft are beefing behind the scenes?

"I take great pleasure (in it)," Jeselnik told TMZ Sports.

But the former "Last Comic Standing" host ain't saying it's game over for New England.

In fact, he told us a little infighting is common with great teams like Michael Jordan's Bulls ... and he fully expects Brady and co. to keep kickin' ass.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they won 10 more Super Bowls."

Rob Gronkowski I'm a Comedian Now ... On Showtime!

Published | Updated

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the comedic stylings ... of Rob Gronkowski!

The New England Patriots tight end -- who's dabbled in comedy before -- is launching his own comedy special called, "Unsportsmanlike Comedy with Rob Gronkowski" ... which debuts Friday on Showtime.

Gronk will do some stand-up -- and host a handful of other comedians including John Caparulo and ex-SNL cast member Finesse Mitchell.

Looks like there will also be some chicks dressed as refs ... if refs wore striped bathing suits.

Gronk roasted David Ortiz last year in Boston ... so, he's got some experience.

Remember to tip your waitress.

Coolio on 'Jeopardy' 'Gangsta's Paradise' Flub Wasn't That Bad, But Learn From It, White People!!!

Published | Updated

Coolio wants white people to remember one rule of thumb when it comes to hip-hop -- the "E-R" will always get you in trouble ... as a "Jeopardy!" contestant learned the hard way.

The rapper dropped his grammar lesson while reacting to a contestant mispronouncing "Gangsta's Paradise" on Monday night's episode. Nick Spicher said "gangster" instead of "gangsta," and it cost him $3,200.

Coolio, with his adorable niece on his lap, told us he thought Spicher's answer was close enough and he should've gotten the money.

However, he says when in doubt, go with just an "a" and not the "er" sound. He wasn't only referring to gangster/gangsta.

'Jeopardy' Contestant Mispronounces 'Gangsta's Paradise' ... Loses $3,200!

Published | Updated

A 'Jeopardy' contestant learned the hard way that Alex Trebek and co. are sticklers when it comes to pronunciation ... especially between "gangster" and "gangsta."

Nick Spicher appeared on the trivia show Monday night, where he was asked to provide the question to a clue that included Coolio's song "Gangsta's Paradise" and author John Milton's book "Paradise Lost."

His answer -- "Gangster's Paradise Lost" -- was almost correct ... except he said -ster instead of -sta. He was awarded $1,600 at first, but Trebek circled back and deducted the money when judges found his answer to be inaccurate, taking away an additional $1,600.

What is ... damn you, Coolio!

Kendall Jenner I'm Not Pregnant, Guys 'I Just Like Bagels!'

Published | Updated

Kendall Jenner is NOT the 4th Kardashian who's expecting a bundle of joy -- she's just got a bun in the oven ... otherwise known as a bagel.

Kendall posted a mirror selfie Saturday and almost immediately had to respond to rumors that she was pregnant. Her slim figure looked a bit more hourglass-like in the pic, and people sorta lost their s***.

As it turns out, Kendall isn't preggo -- she's just fan of the doughy goodness that are bagels.

No harm, no foul. We all get our nosh on ... even models. Carry on, everyone.

'Last Comic Standing' Winner Sued Your 'War on Men' is a Disgrace!!!

Published | Updated

"Last Comic Standing" winner Iliza Shlesinger waged a war on men when she banned them from her comedy show ... and one man is now waging legal war against her, comparing his fight to the Civil Rights movement.

George St. George is suing Iliza claiming her November 13 show dubbed "Girls Night with Iliza -- No Boys Allowed" is repugnant, discriminatory and sets back sex equality hundreds of years.

In docs obtained by TMZ ... St. George says he bought 2 tickets and showed up to will call to retrieve his tickets, but St. George claims he wasn't allowed inside because of his gender, which he says is "akin to the Montgomery City Lines bus company in Montgomery, Alabama circa 1955."

St. George also said banning males is as repugnant as "Caucasian Night" or "Heterosexual Night."

He added that Iliza's show "repudiated hundreds of years of women's struggles to be viewed as being equal to men and is typical of old-fashioned sexism that might also advise a young woman that her best chance for a happy life is to ace her home economics class and learn how to make a queso dip from Velveeta to catch a good man."

St. George is suing for unspecified damages. We've reached out to Iliza, so far no word back.

HARRY AND BARRY HOUR

Prince Harry did what American journalists have been itching to do for a year ... interview President Barack Obama post presidency.

Harry was guest hosting the "Today" radio show Wednesday and played his interview with Obama, part of which was a lightning round of pretty funny questions, including ...

-- Boxers or briefs

-- LeBron or Jordan

-- Aretha or Tina

-- Kim or Khloe (this one's interesting)

-- Harry or William

-- "Suits" or "The Good Wife"

-- The Rock or Chris Rock (again, interesting)

The interview was recorded in September during the Invictus Games when the 2 became buds.

A NEED FOR CHANGE

Obama also talked about the dangers of a president hopping on social media ... he didn't mention Trump by name, but it was pretty obvious.

Harry also said his fiancee, Meghan Markle, had a great Xmas at Buckingham Palace with a family she never had.

Robert De Niro I Get High With a Little Help from My Friend!!!

Published | Updated

Robert De Niro had to get a leg up -- or a shoe up, more like -- standing next to Al Pacino in the new Martin Scorsese movie ... thank God for close-ups.

Bob and Al star in Scorsese's new mobster flick, "The Irishman," in which they filmed a scene this week where they were strolling side by side in the Bronx.

As you can see, De Niro really got into character by wearing high platform shoes -- the guy he's playing stands at 6'4" ... and in real life, the actor's only 5'10".

Hollywood and their tall tales ... gotta love it.

L.A. Weather Guy Gets Winded Putting on Jacket

Published | Updated

Los Angeles felt a lot like Chicago Wednesday night ... just ask this guy, who struggled like hell just to put on his jacket in the damn wind.

We spotted this pap outside WeHo hot spot Madeo, where he just could NOT, for the life of him, seem to put on his hoodie. He eventually got the W against Mother Nature ... but boy, was it a battle.

A fire weather watch went into effect Thursday -- with some forecasts reporting winds up to 30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph in certain areas. Now here's how it looks in your neck o' the woods!

Kidding. We don't do weather.

Floyd Mayweather Freaky XXX Trip ... To Hustler Store!

Published | Updated

Whips and chains and handcuffs ... OH MY!!!

Floyd Mayweather took his entire TMT entourage to the famous Hustler store in Hollywood early Wednesday morning ... and made a "Supermarket Sweep"-style run through the adult toys section.

Freaky Floyd hit up the fetish wall. He grabbed a leather whip and cracked it a little bit. He perused all the fun restraint devices ... and he did it all with a bevy of lovely ladies in tow.

Also, his bodyguards were there, too!

Maybe Floyd was doing some Xmas shopping -- but forget "nice" ... he's all about the naughty!

David Spade Just Shoot Me the Bill, Waiter ... After a Cast Reunion Dinner

THE GANG'S BACK TOGETHER

David Spade continues to pay the price for starring on "Just Shoot Me!" ... especially when the cast gets together for a reunion dinner.

We got David, Laura San Giacomo, Wendie Malick and pretty much everyone else from Blush magazine Saturday night at Craig's in WeHo. We asked who picks up the tab, and Dave says it always seems to make it to his seat, for some reason.

Laura had a great response, btw, when we asked if Blush got swallowed up by Disney -- since it seems to be buying everything else in media these days.

We're guessing Spade would appreciate the Mouse House buying one of these dinners.

Gigi Hadid That Wasn't Armpit Hair, Guys Blame It On Wardrobe!

Published | Updated

Gigi Hadid wasn't trying to show off her unshaven pits during her LOVE Magazine photo shoot -- 'cause the fuzz folks saw was nothin' but loose fibers ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Gigi tell us her "armpit hair" -- which was prominently featured in day 11 of LOVE Magazine's Advent calendar video series -- was, in fact, residue left behind from the jacket she was wearing on set.

We're told the culprit was simply that navy cropped coat Gigi is seen wearing in the vid -- ya know, the one in which she's striking poses and kinda working up a sweat. Makes sense some of that could've gotten stuck to her.

What doesn't make sense is that no one on set saw the hairy stuff during the shoot, or even while editing the video.

Hugh Jackman You Trippin', Zac But ... Show Must Go On!!!

Published | Updated

Hugh Jackman laughed his ass off -- and wanted everyone to join in -- when he witnessed Zac Efron falling off a tricycle and tasting asphalt.

Hugh and Zac threw on their circus garb Friday in Midtown Manhattan to film a circus musical for James Corden's late night show. They were promoting "The Greatest Showman" and their co-star Zendaya got in on the action too ... and also busted an LOL at Zac.

We're guessing Zac's caption on this photo gallery would be ... The crap I gotta do to sell a movie.

Just a guess.

LAUGH CITY

Blake Griffin lit it up at his comedy show Thursday night in Hollywood ... but rumored GF Kendall Jenner kinda stole the show -- even though she never got onstage.

Blake -- bad knee and all -- toughed it out to raise funny money at "Comedy by Blake" ... bringing in big-name comics like John Mulaney, Norm Macdonald and Whitney Cummings for the charity event at The Avalon.

Griffin once again proved he's got jokes -- the crowd ate it up.

Cummings gave the Clippers superstar high praise for his mic work -- "Everyone's like, 'Oh, he's funny for a basketball player. I'm like, 'No, he's like funny for a comedian!'"

But none of the comics could hold a candle to Kendall ... whose sheer black top SLAYED the red carpet before the show.

Nothing funny about that joint. Just pure hotness.

FYI, a lot of Blake's NBA bros came through too ... including teammates DeAndre Jordan, Lou Williams, Wesley Johnson and Sam Dekker.

New Orleans Saints Players We Support Mike Mitchell ... Hilarious Video!

Published | Updated

Mike Mitchell's scathing video takedown of the NFL -- and Commissioner Roger Goodell -- is resonating with other players ... especially two guys on the New Orleans Saints.

TMZ Sports spoke with Saints CB Sterling Moore and LB Craig Robertson before they played the Falcons in Atlanta on Thursday ... and they both made it clear they stand by Mitchell.

FYI, Mitchell -- safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers -- went off on the NFL and Goodell over recent suspensions and fines levied against defensive players. The video went viral.

But if you don't care about the league drama ... watch the video anyway -- these guys are hilarious!

President Trump On Retainer?

SLIPPERY WORDS

President Trump unveiled something new at the White House -- and we don't mean his policy on Jerusalem ... instead, we're talking about a mysterious lisp.

POTUS really did make a major announcement Wednesday morning -- becoming the first Prez to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital in the last 70 years, but near the end of his remarks he started slurring really badly.

It sounded as if he had dentures or a retainer that he was struggling to keep in his mouth.

We've called the White House to check on 45's grill ... but something's definitely up.
