Eric Reid -- the first player to kneel with Colin Kaepernick -- says Malcolm Jenkins and Anquan Boldin are playing members of their Players Coalition ... privately negotiating with NFL execs on the league's proposed $100 million donation for social justice reform.

As a result, Reid says he's out ... and possibly doing more work with Kaepernick.

"When we agreed to be a part of the Players Coalition, we were under the impression that it would be our organization. We were under the impression that we would all have equal say," Reid told ESPN.com.

"But we've come to find out that it's actually Malcolm and Anquan's organization. Nobody else really has a stake in the organization. Malcolm actually wants us to -- he calls it invest, I call it donate -- to the company to pay salaries for his staff. But again, we would have no equity."

Reid says he and other members aren't happy with how only Jenkins and Boldin have consulted with commissioner Roger Goodell on how the money should be allocated ... and don't get why players have to green-light the proposal now when NFL owners have 'til March to decide.

So, while the coalition members are expected to discuss the proposal tonight ... it appears Reid is turning his attention to Kaep -- who's working on his own community initiatives.

Katy Perry didn't need to hear Warren Buffett's roar ... a whisper did just fine.

Katy met Warren at his famous Berkshire Hathaway office in Nebraska. She definitely fangirl'd out, which totally makes sense. Tons of celebs make the pilgrimage to visit the Oracle of Omaha 'cause who doesn't want to meet the billionaire of billionaires?

The video's awesome ... we learn the secret to the Coke machine at Warren's office, and Katy couldn't resist doing what everyone does when they get an audience with Warren.

Coulda been fun ... but Tyron Woodley says the potential fight with Nate Diaz at UFC 219 is officially dead.

"Nate Diaz is obviously scared, homie," Tyron said on the "The Hollywood Beatdown" show (subscribe on the TMZ Sports YouTube page).

Woodley previously said the UFC offered him the fight and he accepted -- and it was up to Nate to sign on the dotted line. But it didn't happen.

Woodley says Nate was asking for WAYYYYYY too much cash -- $15 mil -- and he ain't a $15 million fighter.

Big Sean just became the new owner of Slash's former mansion ... and it looks like he got a rock star discount.

The rapper made moves this week to buy the 7 bed, 8 bath, 11,000 sq. ft. Beverly Hills palace previously owned by the GNR guitarist. The pad's been on the market since Perla, Slash's ex, filed for divorce in 2014.

Big Sean's dropping $8.7 mil for the crib -- a steal considering Slash originally listed it for around $11 mil and dropped it to $9.5 mil last year.

It's unclear what the key selling points were ... but you have to think the home theater, backyard pool/volleyball court and in-house stripper pole didn't hurt.

NBA YoungBoy's snatched chain is back in his possession before the situation could escalate -- he'd threatened to shoot the perp -- thanks to a guy with some serious street cred.

Sources close to rapper JoJo Capone tell TMZ ... the famed hip-hop mediator did what he does best regarding YoungBoy's stolen chain, and managed to retrieve it for him peacefully.

YoungBoy's chain was actually yanked off the neck of someone in his crew during a gig last weekend in Greensboro, NC ... causing the rapper to stop the show, and warn the crowd he'd shoot up the place if it wasn't returned.

We're told the guy who snatched it allegedly wanted a $20k ransom for it, but ended up reaching out to Capone instead to broker a peaceful solution.

JoJo also helped squash a beef between The Game and Young Thug in 2015.

Kylie Jenner is getting a new whip that's NOT a Lambo or G-Wagon -- think burrito truck, but with lip gloss.

Kylie's filed to trademark a Kylie Truck, and a Kylie Jenner Truck. The idea's pretty clear ... roll through neighborhoods serving up lip kits, merch and other Kylie-stamped gift items. We're guessing she won't be driving, or even in the truck much.

Kylie's uber successful makeup line sells out all the time online, and she's been toying with pop-up stores lately, opening several inside Topshops for the holidays. Now it looks like she's looking to bring the merch directly to her fans.

Here they are ... newlyweds Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian chillaxin' on an insanely expensive private island in the Bahamas during their honeymoon -- that they booked on Booking.com.

We're told the villa runs $35k per week -- and you can only get to it if you have an aircraft or a boat.

The photos of S & A at the villa were taken by a drone but we're told the couple willingly participated in the shoot in connection with Booking.com ... so, it wasn't a crazy rogue paparazzo invading their privacy.

Serena also posted on Instagram about the villa -- "A week in paradise. Thanks @bookingcom for helping us find the perfect honeymoon villa. #BookingYeah."

All signs point to Serena getting either paid or a huge discount for the endorsement -- despite the fact both she and her Reddit co-founder husband are LOADED!

Kris Jenner is downright baronial, plunking down $9.9 million on another Hidden Hills property.

We're told she's going the way of Kylie, buying investment property in her hood. The 9,400 square foot house is 6 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms with a zero edge pool and 10 person spa and is located smack across the street from Kim and Kanye.

Kris is planning on plunking down some cash to make changes to the house ... presumably for resale.

$10 mil isn't chump change, but it's not going to break the bank. As we reported, Kris scored $150 million for her family's reality shows on E!.

Simon Cowell is continuing his baronial ways ... this time dropping $25 million on an amazing Malibu pad.

Our real estate sources tell us Simon is in escrow on a 10,000 square foot, 7 bedroom home right on Pacific Coast Highway. The house has amazing ocean views, a ridiculous pool and a super modern interior.

It's got pretty much everything you might want, including a tennis court. It looks more like a resort than a home.

When Simon's in L.A., his main home is in Beverly Hills -- done up in his signature black and white. He dropped $15.5 mil on the estate. He also has a home in London.

Christian Siriano allegedly tried pulling a classic retail move on a company that wanted to use his name on its gear ... by taking back the deal.

The "Project Runway" winner's company, Christian Siriano Holdings, was just sued by M&A Imports for allegedly breaking a contract he signed in 2015. The deal gave the company permission to slap Christian's name all over its women's line -- panties, bras, PJs and the like.

M&A -- which owns the famous Just Love brand -- claims its agreement with Siriano gave them exclusive rights to plaster 'Christian Siriano New York' on its products for a minimum of 3 years, but he pulled out last month without explanation.

In the docs obtained by TMZ, M&A says his abrupt U-turn cost the company a fortune ... to the tune of more than $10,000,000. They're asking a judge for at least that much ... plus interest.

We've reached out to Siriano's camp for comment ... so far no word back.

Anne Hathaway was in the Thanksgiving spirit last week because she went old-school colonial.

The Oscar-winning actress closed on a beautiful 5 bed, 5.5 bath Westport, Connecticut house. The 4,561 sq. ft. house -- built in 1920 -- features a vintage cobblestone driveway and garden, along with some modern amenities ... like a pool and 1500 square foot cabana.

The World Series bonus checks are in ... and the Houston Astros are coming up BIG!!!!

Here's how it works ... each team in the MLB playoffs gets a bonus check based on how far they advanced. The bonus money is pooled from gate receipts from the playoff games.

The big winner -- the Houston Astros ... with each player getting a $438,901.57 bonus check!!!!

According to MLB, it's the largest bonus ever paid out. The previous record was held by the 2014 SF Giants, which paid players $392k each.

But don't feel too sorry for the L.A. Dodgers ... even though they lost the World Series, each player still made out with $259,722.14.

Here's how the rest of the bonuses paid out:

NY Yankees -- $138k
Chicago Cubs -- $133k

AZ Diamondbacks -- $40k
Boston Red Sox --$36k

Cleveland Indians -- $36k
Washington Nationals -- $36k

Colorado Rockies -- $18k
Minnesota Twins -- $18k

It pays to be good.

Jeremy Meeks is playing hardball with his estranged wife, arguing she's not entitled to a penny of spousal support.

Jeremy filed legal docs in his divorce case with Melissa Meeks, in which he says she's currently earning exactly what she made during the marriage when she was the breadwinner. BTW, she was the breadwinner because he spent time in prison for firearms violations and grand theft.

He is willing to pay child support but scoffs at Melissa's claim he's raking in $1 mil a month. He says his income is more like $6k a month. He says he's willing to pay what the child support schedule dictates ... in his case up to $418 a month for his only child.

And he takes several shots at Melissa, saying he sets a good example for his son, while she gives interviews to the media and engages in "televised reconstructive surgeries" of her nose, bust and vagina.

And finally, he says she needs to back off grousing that he's dating billionaire heiress Chloe Green. He says who he dates is not her business.

"Once Upon A Time" star Alison Fernandez's paycheck is a fantasy for most twice her age, because at 12 she's already in line to bank more than $300k a season.

According to her minor's contract Alison's making $14k an episode her first season on the show. The show just rebooted with different characters and Alison, who plays Lucy, is part of the new main cast. In fact, she's listed as appearing in all 22 episodes for season 7 -- which means $308k pre-tax for the pre-teen.

The first run of "Once Upon A Time," which starred Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison went 6 seasons. If the reboot remains as popular, Alison could be a millionaire by the time she's 18.

Donald Trump is going head-to-head with one of the most famous presidents in U.S. history ... in an art auction showdown.

Both Trump and John F. Kennedy will have original artwork on display and up for grabs Dec. 2 at Heritage Auctions' Americana & Political Memorabilia auction. The Prez's piece is a detailed doodle of the NYC skyline ... including sketched-in windows and yellow cabs.

Trump's sketch was donated to a charity in 2005 and is expected to sell for at least $15,000 ... but that's only a fraction of what JFK's expected to fetch.

Kennedy's piece is slightly more sophisticated -- an original oil painting from 1955 signed by the former Prez ... which hung in Robert F. Kennedy's Hickory Hill home for years.

The artwork is believed to be one of just 2 known JFK paintings ... the other ensconced in the Kennedy Library. It's expected to fetch around $50,000.

Gabrielle Union gets what Gabrielle Union wants -- even if that means shelling out tens of thousands of dollars for street art.

Gabrielle was doing an interview to promote a book at the Epic Hotel in Miami, where an art exhibit was also going down at the Avant Gallery.

Gabrielle stumbled in and came across 17-year-old street artist Skyler Grey's artwork -- a painting of famed NYC artist Jean-Michel Basquiat as Juan Ponce de Leon. He calls it "King Jean Michel."

Gabby liked what she saw and dropped $40k for the 50" x 65" piece ... straight-up.
