Sherri Shepherd's ex is nuclear over her scathing radio interview targeting him ... and he's accusing her of being vindictive and bitter.

Lamar Sally is clapping back days after Sherri hopped on D.L. Hughley's radio show and eviscerated Lamar ... saying she married the "sorry-ass dude" because she was lonely in the early days of her career on "The View."

Lamar tells TMZ ... Sherri's got it twisted, saying, "I will not have you lie that the only reason you married me and brought our son into the world was because you were lonely or horny. We had a good marriage and our son was conceived out of love from both parents."

Sherri confessed during the interview that just about everyone -- from Whoopi Goldberg to Steve Harvey -- told her to give Lamar the boot. Sherri said the red flags seemed obvious to all, including to Whoopi who decided NOT to attend Lamar and Sherri's wedding in 2011. It took less than 3 years for Sherri to file for divorce ... and then things got really nasty.

As we reported ... Sherri claimed Lamar defrauded her into getting a surrogate to carry a baby, just so he could get child support. She ended up shelling out $4,100 per month but she's disavowed their 5-year-old son, Lamar Jr. ever since.

On that note ... Lamar says Sherri abandoning their son is between her and her God. Lamar adds he's been put through hell over the last few years ... claiming Sherri's lied about his character and sabotaged his career. He says she effectively blackballed him from getting TV writing gigs, but he doesn't get specific. 

Jason Momoa looks super chill as he lounges poolside in Italy ... proof even Aquaman needs some time away for a little R&R. 

As you can see from his bulging biceps ... Jason still has his superhero bod in full swing after playing the king of the sea on the big screen ... and he's taking some time off in Venice following a busy weekend in France. 

Jason and his wife, Lisa Bonet, have been on some family business in Europe, travelling overseas for the wedding of his stepdaughter, Zoe Kravitz.

It's happening -- the Wyld Stallyns are back together, and from the looks of things ... more time-traveling hijinks are imminent.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are together again -- 30 years after the release of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" -- onset Tuesday in New Orleans. The most bodacious duo are filming the long-awaited third installment of the franchise, following the 1991 sequel, "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey."

In case you aren't familiar ... Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Winter) and Theodore Logan III (Reeves) travel through time via phone booth in the first movie to gather famous historical figures for a class project.

It seems the dudes will be utilizing the phone booth in 'Bill & Ted 3' as well, and some new people from the past -- looks like Gandhi and Sacagawea -- will be joining them.

Still unclear what the plot holds for the Wyld Stallyns -- their rock band -- this time around ... but we're ready to rock with Keanu and Alex.

Chloe Grace Moretz's family got another unwelcome visit from the same exact guy who knocked on her door the day before -- and he did it right after walking out of jail.

According to law enforcement sources, the 18-year-old man who'd driven to Chloe's L.A.-area home Sunday night to hop the gate and knock on her door (only to get arrested shortly afterward) ... got hauled back to jail AGAIN just a few short hours after getting released.

We're told he got out of jail, the first time, at 5:36 PM ... and got rearrested at 8:45 PM Monday. 

TMZ broke the story ... cops discovered the guy sitting in his car outside of Chloe's crib after he'd just walked to the front door and asked her family if she was home. 

He was booked for misdemeanor trespassing at first -- but after Monday's second arrest, he's now facing felony stalking charges. 

We're told the dude pretty much did the same thing he did Sunday -- going to Chloe's place, hopping the gate and knocking on the door, asking for Chloe ... and getting the same treatment from people inside.

We're told this time officers found the man a couple blocks away from Chloe's house and picked him up on-site.

Chloe Grace Moretz and her family are reeling after a total stranger rolled up to her crib, and brazenly knocked on the front door looking for a face-to-face with the actress.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the man showed up outside Chloe's L.A.-area home a little before midnight Sunday night. He'd apparently driven there, parked outside, hopped her front entrance gate, and walked right up to her door knockin' ... asking if Chloe was home. 

We're told members of Chloe's family told the guy to beat it, and that they were calling the police. Our sources tell us Chloe was not home at the time of the incident. 

Turns out, the alleged visitor didn't go far -- when cops showed up, they found the man sitting inside his car, just chillin', and waiting outside Chloe's house. We're told he was arrested for misdemeanor trespassing.

As of Monday, we're told the man is still in custody on $1,000 bail. 

When Michael Jordan took on the original batch of MonStars back in "Space Jam," he did it WITHOUT his running mate, Scottie Pippen ... and now Pip is telling us why he wasn't in the flick. 

Remember, MJ and Bill Murray starred in the movie back in 1996 ... with a core group of NBA stars that included Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson and more. 

When production on the movie began in 1995, Michael Jordan had just come back from retirement ... so he and Pippen were teammates in the Chicago Bulls again -- which had people wondering why didn't #33 have a significant role???

So, when we saw Pip at LAX on Thursday, we needed that explanation!!! 

I think I was injured or recovering from offseason injuries," Pippen said ... "I wasn't able to participate."

If he WAS healthy though, Pippen says he would have agreed to a role in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile, LeBron James is already shooting the sequel -- and some people are wondering why he didn't sign Zion Williamson to take on the MonStars. 

Dennis Quaid knows how to seize a good opportunity -- when he gets the chance to play Jim Morrison in a Doors spinoff band ... he takes it.

The actor was in the crowd for the very first show of Doors guitarist Robby Krieger's aptly-named new band, The New Experience, at the Viva Rancho Cantina in Burbank Thursday night.

We're told about halfway through their jazzy blues set, Quaid hopped on stage to take over lead vocals on a cover of one of the famed L.A. band's classic songs ... "Riders on the Storm."

Check it out ... Dennis has the style, swagger and voice to pull it off, and the crowd loves it. Everybody digs Robby's vintage guitar solo too.

BTW, Krieger's band is a supergroup project of sorts. Along with The Doors connection, it features other musicians who have played with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Prince and Annie Lennox.

Forget Tom Cruise ... Steve-O says HE should be the one to fight Justin Bieber -- telling TMZ Sports that Justin is "picking a fight with the wrong guy!"

We broke the story ... Dana White is hoping to put together a UFC match between the Biebs and Cruise after Justin called out the actor on Twitter.

But, Steve-O says he's personally offended that he wasn't the guy in the initial challenge ... telling us out at LAX, "I'm sick of being overlooked for my potential as a cage fighter!"

Steve-O says he was so upset about the Bieber snub ... he actually flew to Las Vegas to have a personal convo with Dana White himself about it all!!

"I had a little chat with Dana White," Steve-O says ... "And he agreed that if Tom Cruise doesn't step up, and someone needs to fill the cage with Justin Bieber, then I'm the guy."

"We shook on it, me and Dana White."

Steve-O then issued a call-out of his own to Bieber ... telling the Biebs, "I think you've been picking a fight with the wrong guy. Tom Cruise might be 56, but, hey, I'm 45!"

As for who would win in the Octagon ... all Steve-O would tell us is that Justin has NO chance of ending the fight early -- saying, "I can take a serious beating."

He ain't lyin'!!!

Joe Jonas is a stud in his duds for his wedding day -- and he went all black for round 2. 

The middle Jonas Bro was suited and booted Saturday ahead of his second ceremony with his wife, Sophie Turner, at a sweet French estate they booked for the event -- it's called Château de Tourreau, and it is NIIIICE. As for attire, JJ opted for a black-on-black tuxedo ... and we gotta say, ya boy was looking real sharp for his nuptials. 

Of course, Joe's family were all there -- Nick and Priyanka, as well as Kevin and his wife, Danielle, all took photos with the groom-to-be. Mama and Papa Jonas got in on the photo ops too ... it was a full-blown family affair -- and everyone's dressed to the nines.

As we reported ... Joe and Sophie had themselves a red wedding rehearsal earlier this week -- this coming just nearly two months after they tied the knot on a whim in Vegas.

No sign of the bride yet, but if Joe's vibes are any indication ... she must've stunned walking down the aisle. It's already past 10 PM in France, and the couple has reportedly exchanged vows ... but photos of the actual wedding (and Sophie) have yet to surface.

Congrats to the happy couple ... again!!!

Chris Pratt got burnt to a crisp on his honeymoon ... and he wants you to see it from top to bottom. 

The 'Avengers' actor posted a photo Saturday of his entire backside -- ass crack included -- which was sunburned to the max ... minus his pale white cheeks, of course. He and his new bride, Katherine Schwarzenegger, just got back from their Hawaiian honeymoon, BTW.

Chris captioned the pic, "Suns out guns out I might have got(ten) a toouuuch crispy on the honeymoon" ... adding "#Aloe." You can say that again ... this looks mighty painful. 

Luckily for him, one of his Hollywood pals already has a solution to his hot mess of a problem -- Gwyneth Paltrow commented on his post, writing ... "I've got some goop for that." Kat also responded to it, throwing up a bunch of flame emojis. 

Chris and Kat have been in Lanai -- a separate island right off the coast of Maui -- since at least Wednesday, celebrating their marriage two weeks after tying the knot. 

They held off embarking on their honeymoon for a bit ... opting for some gym sessions in L.A. instead. Looks like they've done the deed though, and now they're back in the homeland.

Here you go Lakers fans ... the first clip of LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing together on the same court since the trade ... and it all went down on the set of "Space Jam 2."

The NBA superstars have been hoopin' together while shooting the flick in Los Angeles. You can see the guys warming up alongside Damian Lillard and a few WNBA stars who are appearing in the movie. 

There's another guy rocking a #2 jersey -- but we couldn't positively identify him. We're told the players in the movie are wearing jerseys reflecting their jersey numbers in the NBA. So, if you recognize him, let us know in the comments!!!

As we previously reported, Klay Thompson has been on the set ... though it's unclear if his knee injury will prevent him from shooting scenes. Draymond Green was also spotted on set working out with the guys. 

By the way, LeBron has been wearing #6 on the set -- and Davis has been wearing #23. Interesting, considering reports that LeBron would be ceding his #23 Lakers jersey to Davis and returning back to #6, the jersey he wore while playing in Miami and also during his Team USA days. 

Legendary WWE referee Charles Robinson -- AKA Little Naitch -- had $55k worth of his prized possessions stolen from his storage unit last month ... and now he's on the hunt for the scumbag who took his stuff.

Robinson is a hardcore collector of Hollywood memorabilia and wrestling collectibles ... he's been socking away some VERY cool movie and TV items for decades. 

Problem is ... when Robinson went to check on his storage unit in Charlotte on May 28 -- he saw someone had broken into the unit and jacked all of his stuff.

Some of the stuff that was taken includes ultra-rare Evel Knievel stunt cycle toys, collectible "Chucky" dolls, "Friday the 13th" action figures, "Planet of the Apes" lunchboxes and WWF keepsakes. 

Robinson went to police and filed a report -- but so far, officials haven't been able to track down the culprit.

The crazy part -- one of Robinson's items -- a "Jaws" statue (valued at $2,400) popped up on eBay on Thursday night ... but the seller's post and username were taken down before he noticed.

As for the storage company ... Robinson tells us security cameras didn't catch the act. Plus, he feels the company doesn't really seem concerned about helping him out. 

Think a torn ACL could stop Klay Thompson from shooting "Space Jam 2?!" 

Think again!!

The Golden State Warriors superstar crutched his way on to the L.A. movie set on Wednesday -- just weeks after injuring his knee during Game 6 of the NBA Finals. 

Thompson was greeted by LeBron James himself -- who's starring in and producing the flick -- and the two talked it out for a while in front of the production crew. 

Other stars on the set included Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard. The guy wearing #23 appears to be Draymond Green. 

We're told the scene is set at an All-Star game -- there doesn't appear to be any Monstars present! 

The production has been shooting all over Los Angeles -- including at the home of NBA superfan Jimmy Goldstein ... the super rich guy who's always rocking a cowboy hat at NBA games.

Goldstein owns a famous home in the Hollywood Hills -- and he custom built an "infinity" basketball court in his backyard just for LeBron.

As we previously reported, Bron reached out to several NBA stars to participate in the movie -- but not everyone agreed ... Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo turned down a role claiming he didn't want to take his focus away from training. 

Kevin Spacey's accuser in the actor's criminal case has just filed a civil lawsuit, claiming the alleged incident left him with "severe and permanent mental distress and emotional injuries."

The man, who was 18 years old at the time, claims Spacey repeatedly groped him in 2016 at a Nantucket bar. The plaintiff worked at the bar and claims Spacey got him drunk and repeatedly grabbed his genitals.

The man's mother, former Boston TV achor Heather Unruh, brought the allegations to light last year. Spacey has been criminally charged in the allgeged incident ... and he denies the allegations.

Peter Greene, the actor known for playing bad guys, is now a real-life hero after seeing 2 women pounding on each other in the street, and stopping to break it up ... as NYPD traffic agents watched it all go down.

The crazy video of the "Pulp Fiction" villain, Zed, -- obtained by TMZ -- starts with a woman in a red shirt and blue pants confronting another woman in a neon green shirt ... who decides to throw down.

We're told the scuffle happened Monday in NYC's SoHo neighborhood. The guy who shot the vid -- underground rapper, R.A. the Rugged Man -- tells us, the lady in blue pants was acting aggressively before this, even spitting on people, and allegedly assaulted another woman minutes earlier.

R.A. says the lady in neon finally decided to step up and deliver a thorough shellacking ... that is, until Peter arrived on the scene. The actor hopped off his bike and got right between the combatants ... even though they kept going at it for several seconds.

Peter was mad as hell too -- at the women and also at the traffic agents standing on the same corner as the brawl doing nothing to stop it. He let them have it, then took off.

No word what happened to the women in the fight ... but the spitter's face is bloodied.

The irony here, of course, is that Greene -- best known for playing evil characters in "Pulp Fiction" and "The Mask" -- got to play the good guy for once.

Atta boy, Zed.

7:35 AM PT -- The hearing is over, it only went about 20 minutes, and Cuba's attorneys did not get a ruling on their motion to dismiss. The judge said she would not make any "rash decisions," and certainly not before prosecutors have a chance to respond on July 17.

Judge Keshia Espinal added she would rule on the motion to dismiss on August 14.

Prosecutors filed a deposition from the accuser in which she details her account of the alleged groping.

Cuba Gooding Jr. just arrived to a Manhattan courthouse for a hearing in his groping case ... and the actor is trying to convince the D.A. to drop the charges against him.

We got Cuba strolling into court Wednesday morning, flanked by his legal team and NYPD officers for security. As we've reported, prosecutors have charged Cuba with one count of misdemeanor forcible touching and one count of sexual abuse in the third degree.

The Oscar winner's attorneys, Mark Heller and Peter Toumbekis, say their client is innocent and have filed a motion to dismiss the charges. The judge is expected to address that motion Wednesday in court.

Cuba was arrested earlier this month, turning himself in to police a few days after a woman called 911 alleging the Oscar winner touched her breast without her consent while at a New York bar. He's pled not guilty.

TMZ broke the story ... Cuba feels his accusers own words -- from blog entries -- show she has a "warped mental state." His motion to dismiss widely quotes blogs where she allegedly said she was starving for attention and also suffering PTSD and anxiety disorder.

Cuba also wants a full exoneration, and his lawyers have argued the case is littered with factual inconsistencies, a lack of conclusive video evidence and an alleged screwup in the NYPD investigation.

Story developing ...
