Osama bin Laden Killer American Hero Rocks America's Anti-Hero
John Rambo, meet the guy who killed Osama bin Laden -- now play nice.
Ex-U.S. Navy Seal Robert O'Neill posted a photo Saturday of himself wearing a shirt from Sylvester Stallone's clothing store -- the Sly Stallone Shop -- featuring one of the actor's most iconic characters in an iconic shot ... Rambo taking his mug shot in 'First Blood.'
The American hero -- who's credited with firing the head shots that took down bin Laden -- also shouted out New York's finest in his caption, saying ... "The only guy with a better mugshot than me is Rocky! In the presence of badasses: Rambo and the NYPD!"
Funny enough, Sly's clothing IG account gave him some love back, re-posting his pic and saying ... "Truly an honor to have American hero @mchooyah Robert O’Neill wearing our Rambo mugshot shirt."
For the record ... O'Neill drew first props -- not Rambo.

Kind of interesting ... the unmarried Goldie and Kurt have actually been together longer ... they hooked up in 1983. Impressive.

Chris 'Kid' Reid I Trust LeBron With 'House Party' ... And With NBA Title
LeBron James has two very big wins coming in the near future ... 'cause according to Chris "Kid" Reid, LBJ is going to kill it doing the new 'House Party' movie ... and raise the trophy as an NBA champ.
We got Kid leaving Craig's in L.A. and of course wanted to know what his take on LeBron's production company rebooting Kid 'N Play's classic teen comedy for a brand new audience.
"LeBron and his people are in control, so I trust them."
That's not the only thing Kid trusts LeBron with, because when we asked Chris if he thought Meek Mill's good mojo would lead the 76ers to an NBA title, he said nah 'cause LeBron's got that, too.
"LeBron all day. LeBron knows how to do the Kid 'N Play, so I'm always gonna roll with LeBron."
Kid ain't lying -- LeBron did the dance in a State Farm spot and nailed it.
As for his NBA prediction? Not so sure about that one ...

Richard Gere I'm Being Extorted Over a Movie ... For Half a Million!!!
Richard Gere is the victim of an extortion plot by a small production company trying to strong-arm him out of half a million bucks ... according to a new suit.
Gere claims he entered into an agreement with Random Acts Entertainment in December 2009 to develop a movie based on the book, "Bones of the Master: A Buddhist Monk's Search for the Lost Heart of China" by George Crane.
According to the docs ... Gere planned to produce, direct and star in it, and the company would help with the screenplay. Gere claims he fronted Random Acts $17,500 to get the rights to the book ... which he never got back.
Gere says he decided to continue with the project anyway, but the company then turned in a "woefully inadequate" script. He claims instead of working through their creative differences, Random Acts issued an ultimatum -- move forward with the project as written ... or fork over $500,000, which Gere calls a corrupt extortion attempt.
Gere is now suing to get his $17,500 back and for a judge to rule that the book rights belong to him.
We tried reaching out to Random Acts but were unable to contact the company.

If this works out, and Cardi can work it into her very busy schedule ... we could be hiring soon.

Dennis Quaid Divorce Final Massive Spousal Support Settlement
Dennis and Kimberly Quaid are officially divorced, and their prized assets will be split jointly -- their twins.
Under the terms of the divorce, although they will share joint custody of their 10-year-old twins, she gets the lion's share of physical custody -- 75%.
Dennis will pay $13,750 a month in child support, but the amount goes up if he makes more than $1.3 mil in a single year.
As for spousal support, she's getting a lump sum -- a whopping $2 million. She gets another million bucks to make their property settlement agreement even steven.
As for who gets the pots and pans ... she keeps her 2014 Mercedes, he gets the 2007 Land Rover, the 2012 Mercedes and the 2013 Honda. He gets their pad in Austin, and they're splitting the proceeds from the sale of their family home.
All of the residuals from the movies Dennis made before their 2004 marriage are Dennis' sole property, and they split the residuals for movies he made after they got hitched.
Kimberly filed for divorce back in 2016 -- in fact, it was the second time she filed. She withdrew her first divorce petition back in 2012.
The former couple famously sued Cedars-Sinai Medical Center over a bungled procedure that almost killed their twins shortly after they were born. They were given a massive overdose of Heparin. The Quaids settled with Cedars.

Amy Schumer Hospitalized with Kidney Infection
Amy Schumer's spent the week in the hospital with a kidney infection, and she's still in recovery mode ... which means her job is taking a back seat for now.
The comedian says she was supposed to travel to London for the opening of her new movie, "I Feel Pretty" ... but doctors put the kibosh on that plan so she can focus on her health. She says the infection kept her laid up for 5 days, so makes sense she'd choose recovery time instead of overseas travel.
Schumer's giving props to her doctors and nurses for taking care of her, and thanking her family -- including her still brand new husband, Chris Fischer -- for being by her side.
Get well soon, Amy!

Jeremy Renner What 'Infinity War'? I Got Shopping to Do!
Hawkeye, aka Jeremy Renner, is M.I.A in the new "Avengers: Infinity War" film, so instead of hitting the press circuit this week with the rest of the crew, Renner did some serious shopping.
Jeremy hit up a Hollywood grocery store Thursday, the day the film hit theaters, and his cart had all the makings of a chill night ... beer, chairs and a few bottles of booze.
Dude should relax all he can because Hawkeye's back in the next 'Avengers' film out in 2019.
For all the non-Marvel nerds out there ... Hawkeye and Ant-Man aren't in the current film, but they haven't been killed off or anything. Story goes ... they took a deal with the government to sit this fight out.
Renner might want to stock up on more veggies on his next store run, though. Thanos ain't going down easy.

Ronda Rousey 'Hearing Me Speak Is a Privilege'
Ronda Rousey believes it is a privilege to hear her speak ... and she means it.
The UFC legend was promoting her movie "Mile 22" when she was asked why she's dialed back her interactions with reporters ... something she didn't used to do when her UFC career was on the rise.
"We live in an age of trial by Twitter,” Rousey said ... "What is really gained by stating opinion on anything? It whittles people down. It gets cut and pasted 10 times and it’s in a headline."
"Why should I talk? I believe hearing me speak is a privilege, and it’s a privilege that’s been abused, so why not revoke it from everyone?"
"I don’t believe public criticism beating you down is the right thing to do.”
Rousey also offered an explanation for why her 2 final UFC losses were so hard for her to handle publicly.
"One thing my mother never taught me was how to lose. She never wanted me to entertain it as a possibility. She’d say: ‘Let it suck. It deserves to suck.'”

The two were pushing their new movie, "Mile 22," during the event at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace ... the flick in which Mark plays a jacked CIA operative.

"So fun getting the gang back together again," Ronda posted after the event.
Now, it's back to wrestling ... where Ronda will most likely clash with, and then murder, Mickie James.
Good luck, though ...

Remember, Gronk said he was going to contemplate his NFL future after the Pats lost the Super Bowl to the Eagles back in February.

Damian Lewis First Crack at Playing Rob Ford ... Nailed It!!!
"Billions" star Damian Lewis looks totally unrecognizable on set, which is a good thing ... because he's playing Toronto's former crack-smoking mayor, Rob Ford.
Lewis was spotted in character on the set of "Run This Town" in Toronto on Monday, after spending nearly 7 hours in makeup to transform into the disgraced ex-Mayor ... and the resemblance is uncanny.
The film will focus on Ford's last year of his mayoral term, which was rocked by scandal when he was caught on video smoking crack in 2014 and took a leave to go to rehab.
Those involved with the movie have referred to it as "historical fiction," instead of a Rob Ford biopic ... but it certainly has that biopic look.
As we reported ... Ford died in 2016 after a battle with cancer.
Lewis is known for his Emmy-winning performance as Nicholas Brody on "Homeland" and as cocky hedge fund manager Bobby Axelrod on "Billions."

Kevin's spoken out about Meek's situation before ... and we also got Rick Ross in NYC Monday showing his support.
Meek's serving a 2 to 4 year sentence for violating his probation from a 2008 drug and weapons conviction ... a sentence many are calling unfair and unjust.

Vin Diesel Rocks Groot Roots At 'Avengers: Infinity War' Premiere
He really is Groot.
Vin Diesel -- the voice of the resurrected plant hero -- really got into the shrubby spirit Monday at the "Avengers: Infinity War" premiere in Hollywood ... wearing part of Groot on his suit!
The premiere was insane -- and even had a special cameo from Stan Lee ... who's been battling health and legal issues. He got a hero's welcome.
Other stars include ... Chadwick Boseman, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Gwyneth Paltrow and Star-Lord himself, Chris Pratt.
The one star who didn't make the premiere -- Chris Evans. Guessing it has to do with the fact he's starring in a play on Broadway at the moment.
As for the reviews ... so far, pretty solid. Kevin Smith LOVED it.
"I am overwhelmed. The movie is epic beyond compare."
You excited yet?!

Clooney's Producing Partner Wife Files Police Report Over Online Death Threats
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 3 shares
George Clooney's producing partner, Grant Heslov, had a family cyber scare last week that ended with his wife going to cops over threats made to her life ... TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us Lysa Heslov filed a police report after social media trolls made threatening comments to her over her politics. It's unclear what exactly they were discussing, but one guy commented on her FB page ... "She needs punched in the mouth ... *a bullet to the head. FIXED." She noted in the post that she took it as a threat.
Other people on what appears to be her Instagram message feed left vulgar comments, one of which encouraged Lysa to kill herself.
Lysa has since made her social media accounts private -- except for Twitter -- and we're told the LAPD is investigating.
Her hubby, Grant, has produced a number of films with Clooney over the years like "Good Night, and Good Luck," "The Men Who Stare at Goats" and "The Ides of March." He also won an Oscar in 2013 for producing Best Picture winner, "Argo."

Stan Lee Sued by Massage Therapist He Rubbed His Junk on My Foot!
Stan Lee allegedly got handsy during a massage last year, which ended with him rubbing up on the masseuse with his exposed crotch ... this according to a new lawsuit, but Lee is calling BS.
The Marvel honcho and his former assistant -- Max Anderson -- have been sued by Chicago-based massage therapist Maria Carballo, who claims Stan tried sexually gratifying himself during two sessions.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Carballo alleges she performed two massages at Stan's hotel room a year ago in Chi-town. During the first massage, she says Stan began fondling himself while face down on the table, and then started moaning when she got to his thighs. She says she left at that point, but came back the next day for round 2.
For the second massage, Carballo says Stan got to moaning and groaning again ... to which she responded by threatening to leave. She says he got pissed, though, so she stuck it out for another 10 minutes -- only now using her feet to perform a Shiatsu massage.
During the treatment, Carballo claims Stan grabbed her foot and rubbed it against his naked penis and scrotum. She says she immediately left after that, but not before collecting $240 cash from Lee. She also claims his assistant tried handing her more money as a tip, presumably because he knew about the misconduct ... according to her, anyway.
Carballo's suing for more than $50,000 in damages, and even cites the #MeToo movement as inspiration to speak out.
Lee's partner, Keya Morgan, tells TMZ, "I have no idea what the convict Max Anderson did, but Stan Lee is 95 years old, completely harmless, and is 100% innocent, and denies any such false accusations."
