Bella Thorne Home Burglarized Days After Failed Break-In

Published | Updated

Bella Thorne is having a rough week at home, 'cause burglars just won't leave her alone.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Bella's house was hit by thieves only days after an earlier attempted break-in, and police are now investigating.

Sources say burglars made off with around $150k in valuables ... and they used her designer luggage to transport the stolen goods out of the house!!!

We're told the intruders smashed the front window and entered the home shortly after Bella left. They were caught on surveillance, but covered their faces with bandanas. The footage was passed on to police.

Sources say Bella's designer jewelry, vintage clothing and purses are all missing ... as are the Chanel and Louis Vuitton luggage used to haul off the loot.

It's the second time this month Bella's San Fernando Valley home has been targeted by burglars.

As we reported ... Bella had a huge scare last month when someone broke a window and tried to enter the pad. She was home at the time, and the would-be thieves ran away ... but someone eventually hit the jackpot.

And Bella's not the only one this week to be hit twice by burglars. Christina Milian's home was burglarized twice while she was out of the country.

ME, MY ICE & I

G-Eazy just plunked down a bunch of cash to ensure his mouth will always look clean.

The rapper -- who recently got back with his ex, Halsey -- dropped $30,000 on a new grill adorned with 500 diamonds. We're told the 14k rose gold piece was assembled by celeb jeweler Raksha, who flew into NYC this past week to personally deliver the bling.

As for G-Eazy and Halsey ... the two have been spotted together a ton recently after splitting in July. The pair hit up an after-party for the MTV VMAs and were seen leaving together holding hands. Most recently, Halsey was at a G-Eazy concert in Ohio rocking out to one of his songs.

No telling what Halsey thinks of the new bling, but it'll be sure to attract attention.

Ice Cube Shots Fired Before Concert at Del Mar Fairgrounds: Report

Published | Updated

10:11 PM PT -- Cops say the suspect showed up at the track and went to will call for tickets. When he was told there were no tickets remaining for the show an argument followed and he fired several shots into the crowd. Officers responded and returned fire, the suspect was transported to a local hospital, cops say his condition is unknown and no one else was injured.

A shooting reportedly occurred Sunday in Del Mar, CA during the final lap of a horse race ... and shortly before Ice Cube was set to take the stage there.

According to local reports, police were called to the Del Mar Fairgrounds where shots rang out and caused a panic. The initial shots appeared to go off near the venue's racetrack, where TVG announcers covering a race screamed out "gunfire" live on air.

The shooting reportedly went down before Cube ever took the stage, and according to CBS8 ... it was an officer-involved shooting. Citing witnesses, the outlet reports that a man who was waiting to get inside for the concert pulled out a gun and fired 3 rounds into the air. He was subdued by nearby officers with a taser at first ... but was then reportedly shot when that didn't stop him. CBS8 says witnesses believed the man to be dead.

We've got calls in to local authorities to confirm the news.

Del Mar Racetrack says the situation is contained, and Cube's show is moving forward as scheduled.

Childish Gambino Wanna See Kanye Cry? Wanna See Michelle Obama Bear Hug Him?

Published | Updated

Kanye West has deep regrets about supporting Donald Trump -- so much so he dissolved into tears -- but Michelle Obama was quick to comfort him with a big hug ... at least those are the images Childish Gambino telegraphed in his new, animated music video.

The vid was produced for C.G.'s song, "Feels Like Summer," and it's pretty great. Drake is chasing after Future as he rides away on a bike. And then there's Nicki Minaj, who famously has beef with Travis Scott because he topped her on the Billboard charts. Nicki and Travis make peace by playing with blocks.

But the highlight is clearly Kanye, wearing his MAGA hat as he breaks down. It's unclear if Childish Gambino is suggesting Yeezy has remorse over his support for Trump, but that's the way it seems. And Michelle's hug-from-behind is awesome!

Kanye went on the WGCI Morning Show this past week to explain his comment on TMZ Live, that "slavery sounds like a choice," clarifying that he meant it would have been a choice for him. A lot of people on social media weren't buying what he was selling.

Bono It Ain't No Beautiful Day U2 Concert Cancelled

Published | Updated

2:06 PM PT -- Bono has issued a statement on his condition, saying ... "I’ve seen a great doctor and with his care I’ll be back to full voice for the rest of the tour. So happy and relieved that anything serious has been ruled out." He also apologized to his fans who missed out on his Berlin show, and promised to return on November 13th.

Bono pulled the plug on his concert Saturday night after his voice started sounding like a scratched-up LP.

U2 hit the stage in Berlin and after they were a few songs deep into the show ... Bono waived the white flag.

What was weird ... Bono sounded fine at the beginning of the concert, so whatever happened happened super quick.

The folks at the Mercedes-Benz Arena were understanding as Bono seemed to give the crowd options. Either reschedule, or take a 10 to 15 minute break. It's unclear what he meant by the break, since it was obvious his voice wasn't coming back anytime soon. It sounds like he was hoping his voice would come back, but that was clearly a pipe dream. In the end, the stage went dark.

The band released the following statement: "We're so sorry for tonight's cancellation. Bono was in great form and great voice prior to the show and we were all looking forward to the second night in Berlin, but after a few songs, he suffered a complete loss of voice. We don't know what has happened and we're taking medical advice."

NEW KID, NEW INK

Offset loves playing the name game -- when it comes to tattoos -- and now he's got one on his cheek of his baby girl's name.

The Migos rapper showed off his new ink Saturday ... a giant "Kulture" tat on his face in honor of his daughter with Cardi B.

This isn't a first for Offset -- he's also got a tattoo on the other cheek with his youngest son's name and a big shoulder tat for his oldest son.

Cardi's not left out either ... he got her named inked on his neck earlier this year.

As for the couple's daughter ... we still haven't seen much of Kulture other than her name. Cardi did give us a glimpse of her last week in a pic with Offset ... and also shared a closeup her baby's lips on an Instagram story.

But, that's about it. Still waiting on the big reveal, but for now ... we'll have to settle for tattoos.

Smokey Robinson Ariana's Dress was 'Inappropriate' And Trump's Stupid!!!

Published | Updated

Smokey Robinson was awesome at Aretha Franklin's funeral, singing praise and singing ... but he was NOT down with Ariana Grande's super short skirt.

We got the singer/songwriter legend at LAX Saturday night as he returned from Detroit, and Smokey didn't hold back ... he thinks Ariana's skirt -- which was the subject of criticism on social media -- was just plain inappropriate.

He says he loves Ariana and her music, but thinks she was not protected by her people who greenlit the fashion choice.

As for the funeral having political overtones -- where Al Sharpton and others took a shot at Trump for saying Aretha used to work for him -- Smokey brushed it off, saying Trump says stupid things every day.

LATE NIGHT PRAYERS

On their way out, they ignored questions ... including one about a comparison between Donald Trump and another Justin.

And check out the guy who does capture J.B.'s attention ... saying/warning that God is coming and so is Jesus. He says he wants to give honor to God and save Justin's soul.

Justin gives the guy the time of day ... giving him a thumbs up, and then clasping his hands together before he and his fiancee drive off into the night.

French Montana I'm So Proud 'Famous' Remix Will Help Ugandan Children

Published | Updated

French Montana is busting with pride over a remix of a song that will help desperately poor people in Uganda.

We got French Saturday night leaving The London hotel in New York City ... and our photog talked to him about the remix to his 2017 song "Famous" with Adam Levine.

Montana's royalties from the song are going to the Suubi Center ... an Ugandan children's health clinic.

The music video features an Ugandan children's dance group, the Triplets Ghetto Kids.

Montana mentions that the hospital has recently expanded and now services 58 villages with a population of close to half a million people.

We also asked French about Aretha Franklin's funeral and whether she inspired him and his music. French makes it clear ... Aretha's influence goes way beyond him.

The Jonas Brothers We're Thriving ... But, Dad's Company Isn't

Published | Updated

The Jonas Bros are doing GREAT, but their father is having some serious financial issues. Paul Jonas' company just filed for bankruptcy ... TMZ has learned.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Paul's New Jersey construction and real estate company has over $1 million in debt, including a $268k judgement from a case his company lost.

In order to come up with the cash, Paul plans to sell off some of the company's property.

Now, the question becomes ... will Papa Jonas get bailed out by his wildly successful sons?

The Jonas Brothers sold millions of records worldwide before the band broke up in 2013, and the trio has continued building their portfolios on their own.

Nick has made millions as a member of the group and as a solo artist. He's also got a budding acting career and recently starred in the 'Jumanji' remake.

Joe has also made a fortune and just listed his luxury farmhouse in Sherman Oaks for $4.25 million.

Don't forget about Kevin ... the rocker-turned-reality-TV-star has also banked a ton of dough.

Money doesn't grow on trees, but the Jonas family tree sounds like it has plenty of cash to go around.

Published | Updated

9/4 -- Norman's attorney, David Diamond, tells us his client was the one who was attacked that night at the club. Diamond says 3 men (including the one injured) went after Norman, but Norman did not fight back, he only stayed in a defensive stance until security intervened.

Diamond continues, "My client voluntarily went to give his statement to law enforcement and no charges have been filed. The security footage coupled with the witness statements will show that my client is clearly and without any doubt, innocent."

Mick Jagger's daughter is allegedly dating a VERY violent man ... 'cause he got busted for punching the hell outta another man so badly he needed brain surgery.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Georgia May Jagger's BF, Norman Theuerkorn, was at the Blind Dragon in WeHo last month when he approached 2 random men and said he was a famous actor. He's actually a model with the Two MGMT modeling agency. One of the guys is Andrew Knight, who claims to be Suge Knight's son. The other is Andrew's BF, Darren Young.

Cops say Norman touched Darren's leg and told him he was beautiful. Both Andrew and Darren were not amused and told Norman to scram.

About 20 minutes later, our sources say Norman returned and punched Darren so hard in the head, he fell and suffered a nasty gash on his head that led to internal bleeding and, ultimately, brain surgery.

Norman turned himself in last week and was booked for felony battery causing serious bodily injury. We reached out to Two MGMT. They had no comment.

Gladys continues, "It is unfortunate that on a day we should be celebrating Aretha's life and massive contribution to our world, a reporter who did not relay accurate information has missed the message.

He and the rapper were relocated to the Atlanta Police Airport Precinct to continue the investigation, where it was determined T-Pain was the rightful owner of the gun his bodyguard was carrying ... and he provided a valid permit to carry.

Prince Estate Sues Record Label for Bootleg Music

Published | Updated

Prince's estate is going after a record label, claiming it's run by a group of bootleggers conspiring to cash in by jacking his tunes and plastering the Prince logo on all their rip-off merchandise.

Prince's estate just filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- against Eye Records ... which the estate says is described as a "bootleg label dedicated to Prince." According to the docs ... Eye Records has illegally released 18 Prince compilations since Prince died in 2016, including CD sets titled 'Blast From The Past.'

Eye Records allegedly uses the online store newlovesigne.com to sell the bootlegged music, which includes live performances and unreleased studio tracks ... like "Prince Atlanta," which contain live recordings of the musician in his last-ever show.

Prince's estate is suing the record label and the individuals it believes are involved in the bootlegging scheme for monetary damages ... including $2 million for every one of their alleged Prince trademark violations ... and they claim there are a lot.

A rep for Prince's estate tells us, "There was nothing more important to Prince than the quality of his music and how his fans experienced it. With this filing, our hope is to preserve the integrity of the music and remain true to Prince's wishes."

The rep also issues a warning to anyone else who might try and jack Prince's work, saying, "The Prince Estate will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law all unlawful distributors and sources of Prince's intellectual property."

G-Eazy & Machine Gun Kelly War of Words Over Halsey Topped Off with Diss Track

Published | Updated

G-Eazy didn't take long to fire a huge shot back at Machine Gun Kelly, responding with an all-out diss track after MGK freestyled about banging Halsey.

The freshly heated beef started roasting Thursday, when MGK went on HOT 97 with Funkmaster Flex and dropped some bars blasting Eazy ... accusing him of stealing his look with the line, "I f***ed his girl now he looks like me this sh*t overbearing."

TAKIN' SHOTS

G-Eazy responded hours later by releasing a new track called "Bad Boy" on SoundCloud ... which included lyrics directly aimed at MGK.

The lines include ... "MGK please stop trolling me, get over me / You wanna be me, you’re mad that you’re not as big as me." He goes on to call him a "mini-me" and a "f***ing joke," and delivered a threat regarding Halsey, saying ... "Disrespect her again I’ll smack you."

Waiting for your permission to load Soundcloud audio.

Doesn't seem like MGK's scared by G's threats, though -- he shared the video of his freestyle on his Instagram along with a photo of the 2 and the lyrics about banging Eazy's GF.

As we reported ... G-Eazy and Halsey split earlier this summer, and around the same time she was spotted out one night with Kelly.

Halsey and G-Eazy have gotten back together after their 2-month split ... and we've seen them out together twice in the last 2 weeks.

It looks like their reconciliation has come at the cost of the rapper's friendship.
