Nikolas Cruz Prosecutors Seeking Death Penalty

Published | Updated

Nikolas Cruz could be put to death by the state of Florida, if he's found guilty for the slaying of the 17 victims in Parkland.

Prosecutors announced Tuesday they will be seeking the death penalty in the case. In new docs, they call the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School "especially heinous, atrocious or cruel" ... as well as "cold, calculated and premeditated."

Also in the docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors say they want to pick the mental health expert to evaluate Cruz -- that's presuming the defense raises his mental health as a mitigating factor in the crime.

Florida uses lethal injection to execute prisoners.

Tori and hubby Dean McDermott brought the entire brood to break bread at Black Bear Diner Friday in Tarzana ... looking like a close-knit fam bam. It's a stark contrast to what's unfolded in the last 9 days.

TMZ broke the story ... Dean called cops Wednesday to check on Tori after she left home with one of their kids. It's unclear what had Dean so worried. Cops created a huge scene when they tracked down Tori at a doctor's office. They spoke to her and determined a crime hadn't been committed.

Beloved children's show "Blue's Clues" is returning after a 12-year hiatus, but the half animated and half live-action program's host might look very different.

We're told the "Blue's Clues" team is seriously considering replacing the hosting spot, previously held by Steve Burns and Donovan Patton, with a woman.

Sources tell us production for the reboot is paying close attention to what fans want via social media. So far, the hashtag #BringBackSteve has been trending.

Our sources say they're not planning on changing much, just updating things a bit. The new host will be wearing the signature green striped polo shirt and khaki pants that previous hosts wore, but likely without pleats in the pants.

As for dream celebrity guests for the revival, we're told they wouldn't turn down Chrissy Teigen, John Legend and their daughter, Luna.

Mel B Ex-Husband Claims She's a Lying Drug Addict and Alcoholic

Published | Updated

Mel B is a drug addict and alcoholic who has walked into doors and has been hospitalized for ODs, and she has covered up the bruises and other injuries from her addiction by claiming it was domestic violence ... so says her ex-husband, Stephen Belafonte.

Belafonte just filed legal docs in an effort to get visitation rights in connection with his stepdaughter, Angel, whose biological father is Eddie Murphy. Belafonte, who has been with Angel almost since her birth, claims Mel B is concocting lies about domestic violence to turn Angel against him.

He refers to a 2014 incident in London where Mel B claims he bashed her head into a door. Belafonte says, in fact, what happened was that Mel B ODd on drugs, was hospitalized and sustained bruises from the EKG machine and IV during her stay in the hospital, and falsely claimed it was the result of abuse.

He says she is so addicted to drugs and alcohol she walks into walls because she's drunk in the middle of the day. He says she is so wasted sometimes she will pull down her pants and try to urinate on the couch in front of the kids.

He also notes in his legal docs, obtained by TMZ, her claims that he forced her to have 3-ways is a lie. He says he has videos where Mel B initiates and records the trysts and looks into the camera and says, "That's hot!" and "I like it."

Mel claimed in docs Stephen showed the kids ISIS beheadings. He says this is a blatant lie and he hasn't even searched for such videos.

Belafonte says he sent Mel B's therapist text messages, pleading with him to stop medicating her, warning him she could become another Michael Jackson.

Florida Shooting Survivor Family Goes To FBI Over Online Threats

Published | Updated

The family of outspoken Florida shooting survivor, David Hogg, is turning to the FBI after receiving several death threats online, including a particularly disturbing one from an NRA supporter.

The 17-year-old Hogg has been one of Parkland's most vocal gun reform advocates. His mother, Rebecca Boldrick, tells us that they've decided to go to the FBI after someone wrote in a comment on one of Rebecca's Facebook photos, “You can change your settings, but you can never change your faces, your whole family is exposed because of your piece of s*** kid."

The person who posted the comment called out her son's upcoming birthday, saying it "will be an interesting event" before co-signing the NRA and the right to bear arms, which the Hoggs are taking as a death threat.

We've confirmed the FBI has been contacted. Hogg's father is also an ex-FBI agent. Rebecca says they've also put in calls to Facebook as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, since the commentor's FB profile says he hails from Canada.

In a statement, Rebecca tells TMZ the family understands that, while some people don’t agree with their anti-gun message, that shouldn't give them the right to threaten or intimidate her family, particularly through social media. She says any threats they receive will have consequences.

She also purchased a pink nursery glider chair, with matching ottoman, for $4,200 -- and threw in another $550 for a silver high chair.

SOMETHING SCARY HAPPENED

Dwayne Johnson's got a huge shout-out for the 911 operator and paramedics who talked him through a medical emergency involving his 2-year-old daughter.

The "General Hospital" actress tweeted the scary news late Sunday morning saying a man driving a grey van in Brooklyn had tried ramming her and her baby girl while they were crossing the street in a stroller.

Amber says the man was honking his horn and that the bumper actually made contact with baby Marlow's stroller. She asked folks on Twitter to DM her if anyone had seen the man or had any other info.

Luckily, Amber and Marlow seem to be OK -- though she says she was shaken by the incident.

We've reached out to the NYPD to see if Amber has filed a police report yet. Law enforcement sources tell us no 911 calls from the cross streets mentioned by Amber have been placed as of this writing.

Gerald McCoy: My Daughter Was Called N-Word ... At School!

Published | Updated

Tampa Bay Bucs star Gerald McCoy is FURIOUS after he found out a group of boys called his 6th grade daughter the N-word at school ... and the school didn't tell him about it!

McCoy says the boys were playing "Truth or Dare" when one of the dares was to go up to McCoy's 12-year-old daughter and call her the n-word to her face.

Gerald says the boys were "bold enough to do it" -- and his daughter is devastated.

McCoy says his daughter did NOT get violent -- instead she reported the boys to school officials.

But what pissed Gerald off ... the school never contacted Gerald or his wife. Instead, he learned about the incident from his daughter and had to contact the school to find out how they were handling the situation.

McCoy says the school should have contacted the parents FIRST and then launched the investigation -- instead of the other way around.

"There is no way, shape or form where that was handled properly," McCoy says.

McCoy says the school ultimately decided on a 1-day suspension -- and McCoy is PISSED saying, "A 1-day suspension is not doing anything."

McCoy feels the school was trying to sweep the incident under the rug because they're not taking racism seriously enough ... and he feels it's important to share the story with the public.

We reached out to the school for comment -- so far, no word back.

Woody Harrelson The Return Of Billy Hoyle ... On Set Hooping w/ Daughter

Published | Updated

If you've ever wondered what happened to Billy Hoyle from "White Men Can't Jump," we've got the video for you -- Woody Harrelson showing he's still got the moves by training a new hoops generation.

Woody was on set filming his new movie, "The Highwaymen," when he took some time out to teach his youngest daughter, Makani, the same tactics he used to dominate Wesley Snipes (face it, he did).

Looks like Woody's teaching her how to finish high in the lane without killing her dribble, and demonstrating it from multiple angles on the court ... and he seems like he's still got it.

It was announced last year that 'WMCJ' was set for a reboot starring Blake Griffin ... but after seeing this, maybe it's time to scrap the reboot, and give Woody & Wesley a sequel.

Just sayin'.

Tori Spelling Overwhelmed by Motherhood ... says Corinne Olympios

Published | Updated

Tori Spelling talked mommyhood struggles the day before her mental breakdown ... so says Corinne Olympios.

The 'Bachelor' alum tells TMZ she hung out with Tori following her "Secrets in the Sauce" cooking segment Wednesday with Erica Domesek. Corinne says she was in the makeup room with Tori, who was quiet at first and exhibited signs of a distressed mom.

Corinne says Tori seemed particularly overwhelmed that she got pregnant immediately after giving birth to kid no. 4 last year. Corinne adds Tori cracked a joke about not wanting to head straight home ... and then there was the "naked" hands quip about Tori.

TMZ broke the story ... cops responded to a call Thursday morning to saying Tori was being very aggressive.

Ne-Yo's Wife on IG Backlash People Hate Mixed Race Couples ... And 'Hawaiian Silky' Hair

MY CHILD, MY BUSINESS

Ne-Yo's wife says people got pissed over her comments about her son's hair because some folks still don't like seeing mixed-race couples.

We got Crystal Smith Tuesday at LAX and asked her to weigh in on the backlash she received for saying her kid wasn't blessed with her "Hawaiian silky" hair.

Crystal seems to think the real reason so many IG users sounded off is 'cause a lot of them don't like when black men date outside their race, even though Crystal's part black.

The point is probably moot, though. Crystal says she'll do whatever she feels is best for her child, regardless of what others think. She's also clapping back with a business move.

Watch the clip ... she's very strong.

Drake Old Notebook w/ Handwritten Lyrics Could Fetch $54k!!!

Published | Updated

A beat-up old notebook belonging to Drake might land a keen-eyed worker a big payday, because the inside's full of handwritten notes, rare lyrics ... and his John Hancock several times.

Drake's purple spiral notebook features about 12 pages of lyrics ... including what appears to be the rapper's homage to Biggie Smalls' "Ten Crack Commandments" -- titled "10 Mack Commandments."

The notebook also includes multiple Aubrey Graham signatures (his real name), personal notes and various phone and credit card numbers ... possibly his uncle's.

Gary Zimet, owner of MomentsInTime.com, tells TMZ ... the notebook was recovered from Drake's grandpa's furniture factory in Toronto about a decade ago. We're told it was nearly thrown out, but someone on the cleanup crew nabbed it and is now selling it on the site. Zimet says he knows the book's legit based on where it was found, and the signatures look like the one Drake now uses.

It's unclear exactly when each entry was written, but the copyright in the front of the book is dated 2002 -- a year after he started his 8-year stint on 'Degrassi.' It can be yours ... for a cool $54k.
