Brittany Renner's sexual partner tally of 35 people is of little consequence to Maino -- he says the slut-shaming needs to stop, and while defending Brittany decided ... why not shoot his shot.

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the "Way Up With Angela Yee" correspondent amid NYC's torrential downpour, and got his thoughts on the "Basketball Wives" star's recent confession.

Brittany's 35 trysts were too much for Shannon Sharpe to swallow, but Maino didn't flinch ... telling us he's down for the long haul with BR. He says he'd be happy to fill her next few slots.

Neither the rain, nor his faulty umbrella, stopped Maino's defense of Brittany ... as he told us the men criticizing Brittany are insecure about their sexuality, and added marriage and sexual relations fall under different categories ... in his book, anyway.

We're not sure people wearing wedding rings will agree, but he's adamant.

Tyrese Gibson is embroiled in another legal saga ... this one doesn't involve Home Depot, but rather the late singer Teddy Pendergrass.

The 'Fast & Furious' star has a production company, Voltron Entertainment, which is suing Teddy's widow, Joan Pendergrass, over the rights to Teddy's biopic.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Tyrese claims his company locked up the exclusive rights to Teddy's life story way back in 2011 ... with Joan's blessing.

Tyrese says Joan would give Tyrese the rights to a book and movie about Teddy in exchange for Tyrese's company agreeing to invest in the projects and use his celeb status to promote them and Teddy's legacy.

In the suit, Tyrese claims he and Voltron have since invested around $450,000 into the project ... which he says he's been pushing forward for nearly a decade.

Problem is ... Tyrese claims Joan switched up in 2022 and refused to extend the option on the rights to Teddy's life story.

Tyrese claims Joan's about-face caused Voltron to suffer financial harm ... so now he’s suing Joan in her individual capacity and as executor of Teddy's estate for at least $1 million in damages.

Tyrese Gibson está envuelto en otra saga legal, y esta no implica a Home Depot, sino más bien al fallecido cantante Teddy Pendergrass.

La estrella de "Fast & Furious" tiene una productora, Voltron Entertainment, que está demandando a la viuda de Teddy, Joan Pendergrass, por los derechos de la película biográfica de Teddy.

En los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Tyrese afirma que su compañía bloqueó los derechos exclusivos de la historia sobre la vida de Teddy en 2011, con la bendición de Joan.

Tyrese dice que Joan le daría a Tyrese los derechos de un libro y una película sobre Teddy a cambio de que su compañía aceptara invertir en los proyectos y él usara su estatus de celebridad para promover el legado del cantante.

En la demanda, Tyrese afirma que él y Voltron han invertido desde entonces alrededor de $450.000 en el proyecto, que él, dice, ha estado impulsando por casi una década.

El problema es que en 2022 Joan cambió de opinión y se negó a ampliar la opción sobre los derechos de la historia sobre la vida de Teddy.

Tyrese afirma que su cambio de rumbo provocó agravios financieros en Voltron, por lo que ahora la está demandando por al menos $1 millón en daños y prejuicios, en su capacidad individual y como albacea de la herencia de Teddy.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's son's name change is now official in the eyes of the law.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge signed off on the famous parents legally changing their child's name from Wolf Jacques Webster to Aire Webster.

The docs say Kylie showed face in court virtually Friday ... and while Travis did not make an appearance, the docs say he didn’t file any objection to the switch so the judge ultimately granted the petition.

TMZ broke the story ... Kylie filed docs to change the kid's name back in March, noting they regretted the initial name choice of Wolf Jacques and saying they thought Aire was a better fit.

Remember ... Kylie and Travis announced as far back as March 2022 they were scrapping Wolf ... and in January 2023, a few weeks before the kid's first birthday, Kylie revealed they were now calling him Aire.

El cambio de nombre del hijo de Kylie Jenner y Travis Scott ya es oficial a ojos de la ley.

Según nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, el juez dio el visto bueno para que los famosos padres cambien legalmente el nombre de su hijo de Wolf Jacques Webster a Aire Webster.

Los documentos dicen que Kylie dio la cara en la corte el viernes, mientras que Travis no hizo acto de presencia, pero de acuerdo a los documentos no presentó ninguna objeción para el cambio, por lo que el juez finalmente concedió la petición.

TMZ dio la noticia, Kylie presentó documentos para cambiar el nombre del niño en marzo, señalando que lamentaban la elección inicial de Wolf Jacques y que piensan que Aire se ajusta mejor.

Recuerden, Kylie y Travis anunciaron ya en marzo de 2022 que estaban desechando el nombre de Wolf y en enero de 2023, unas semanas antes del primer cumpleaños del niño, Kylie reveló que le estaban diciendo Aire.

Quando Rondo's presence is his community is apparently a cause for concern ... prosecutors want him banned from his hometown in Georgia because they say he's a target for violence.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained court docs in which prosecutors are asking to modify the Never Broke Again rapper's current bond conditions ... they want the judge to keep him out of Chatham County, Georgia pending his trial.

Quando currently resides in Midway, GA ... a town roughly 30 miles outside of Savannah and where they say doesn't have the same dangers for Quando in Chatham County, a more urban area.

On the flip side, prosecutors say Quando has been targeted in violent shooting attacks at least 3 times in urban settings, including a September 20 attack at a local barbershop where at least 2 people were shot and 30 shell casings were collected at the scene.

Officials note that Quando's bond was granted for him to continue his rap career -- but prosecutors say he was not performing or doing anything related to his music career "while loitering outside" at the time of the September shooting.

The docs also make mention of the August 2022 shooting when Quando's friend was killed in his presence.

We broke the story that kicked off this latest legal jam ... Quando was charged with drug possession over Father's Day weekend.

Joe Jonas expressed his desire to make a UK estate his family's "forever home," but that's unlikely to sway the judge in deciding to move his divorce from Sophie Turner overseas ... because that's just not how the law works.

Sophie says Joe expressed his desire to move his entire family on multiple occasions, and even wrote a letter to a homeowner in the UK expressing interest in buying their estate.

Sophie submitted the letter in court docs, obtained by Page Six, in which Joe says, "We could tell that your family have truly loved living here and we can envision our children growing up here and making this our forever home."

While the letter may prove Joe wanted to live in the UK, his family never established residency there. They have lived as a family in the U.S. ... therefore, it's pretty certain a U.S. judge -- not a UK judge -- will handle their divorce.

What's more ... our sources say that while he, Sophie and the homeowners in the UK did reach an agreement to buy the home for $7.5 million, the sale never closed and is still in escrow. So again, no residency in jolly ol' England.

We're told Joe, Sophie, Willa and Delphine have never lived anywhere longer than 6 months other than when they were in Florida ... which is where Joe filed for divorce.

Mauricio Umansky says he's positive ... Kyle Richards has not cheated on him and she and Morgan Wade are not having sex. In fact, he says their relationship is all friendship and business, and that's it.

We got Mauricio on his way into "Dancing with the Stars" rehearsal Friday and our photog asked him about the rumored relationship between Kyle and Morgan.

As you know, Kyle and Morgan have been hanging out a ton during Kyle's separation from Mauricio ... with the women filming lots of things together, like documentaries, reality TV segments and music videos.

But, Mauricio says that's where Kyle and Morgan's relationship ends.

Sounds like Mauricio would know, because he's still communicating with Kyle during their time apart. He says she actually texted him Friday so he could clear up some recent comments he made about their relationship timeline.

Mauricio raised eyebrows this week in his appearance on The Agency's 'Red Mic' podcast when he said, "We were dealing with our own things, kind of, super quietly and internally, just our own issues, I mean, certainly, we're not separated. We're not divorced at this point. We are not any of that stuff."

Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for months now ... but he says the answer was in response to a question about whether he and Kyle planted the initial story of their separation back in July to boost TV ratings, which he denies.

Mauricio tells us People, which was first to report their separation, actually got the story wrong, at least technically ... insisting he was NOT separated from Kyle at the time the story broke. Of course, they separated shortly after.

Mauricio is super pissed at whoever was the source behind the People story ... he says he tried to get the outlet to give him a name, telling us if he finds out the source is someone who works for him they're getting fired ... and if it's a member of their inner circle, the person is getting booted.

Obviously, there's a lot of drama around Mauricio and Kyle right now ... and it's been a rough year for them both, which he says is a factor in their separation ... but he says 'DWTS' has been a great outlet to relieve stress.

Kyle would seem to agree ... showing up to support Mauricio in his big 'DWTS' debut.

Mauricio Umansky dice que está seguro de que Kyle Richards no lo ha engañado y, que ella y Morgan Wade no tienen relaciones sexuales. De hecho, dice que su relación es solo amistad y negocios. Eso es todo.

Encontramos a Mauricio de camino a su ensayo en "Dancing with the Stars" este viernes y nuestro fotógrafo le preguntó acerca de la rumoreada relación entre Kyle y Morgan.

Como ustedes saben, Kyle y Morgan han estado saliendo un montón durante la separación de Kyle y Mauricio. Han estado filmando diferentes cosas juntas, como documentales, segmentos de reality shows y videos musicales.

Pero Mauricio dice que ahí es donde termina la relación entre ambas.

Suena como si Mauricio supiera, ya qué aún se comunica mucho con Kyle durante su tiempo separados. Él dice que en realidad le envió un mensaje de texto el viernes para que pudiera aclarar algunos comentarios recientes que hizo sobre la línea de tiempo de la relación.

Mauricio levantó cejas esta semana en el podcast 'Red Mic' de The Agency cuando dijo: "Estábamos lidiando con nuestras propias cosas, un poco en silencio e internamente, solo nuestros propios problemas, quiero decir, ciertamente, no estamos separados. No estamos divorciados en este momento. No somos ninguna de esas cosas".

Kyle y Mauricio han estado separados desde hace meses, pero dice que su respuesta fue en réplica a una pregunta acerca de si él y Kyle situaban la historia inicial de su separación en julio para aumentar los ratings de televisión, algo que él niega.

People fue el primero en informar sobre su separación, aunque en realidad se equivocó en la historia, al menos técnicamente, e insistió en que no estaba separado de Kyle en el momento en que esta salió a la luz. Por supuesto, se separaron poco después.

Mauricio está supercabreado con quienquiera que fuera la fuente detrás de la historia de People. Dice que trató de conseguir la historia para hacerse un nombre, y nos dice que si se entera de que la fuente es alguien que trabaja para él, será despedido. Y si se trata de un miembro de su círculo íntimo, la persona será expulsada.

Obviamente, hay un montón de drama en torno a Mauricio y Kyle en este momento y ha sido un año difícil para los dos, lo cual se dice es un factor en su separación. Pero 'DWTS' ha sido una gran oportunidad para aliviar el estrés.

Kyle parece estar de acuerdo, ya que estuvo presente para apoyar a Mauricio en su gran debut en 'DWTS'

Ne-Yo has been declared the legal father of his 2 youngest kids he's got with his new girlfriend ... this coming months after asking the court to establish him as their pops.

According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge has found it in the best interest of the kids that Ne-Yo be declared the natural and biological daddy of Braiden, born in 2021, and Brixton, born last February ... giving them all rights and privileges under the law.

The docs also provide the 2 will also have their last name changed from Bagnerise to Smith -- Ne-Yo's legal last name.

TMZ broke the story, the singer asked for the court to establish parentage for Braiden and Braxton back in May. He was also looking to have them be able to inherit from him as if they were born in wedlock.

Eminem is now among the top 10 artists for all-time sales, but he's not above admiring the work of his peers ... 'cause Lil Wayne completely floored Slim Shady simply by rapping about snack food!!!

Wayne recently celebrated his 41st birthday by lending his lyrical greatness to YG and Tyga's "Brand New" single where he spits, "Brand new money, brand new hundreds/Got a bunch of zeros like a bag of new Funyuns."

Eminem gave the song a listen and Wayne's Funyuns line left him wondering why he hadn't thought of flipping the bar first.

It's been over a decade since the two crossed paths on a track -- may be time for an update, steel sharpens steel after all!!!

La pareja de DC Young Fly, Jacky Oh!, falleció como consecuencia de complicaciones derivadas de una cirugía estética, quejándose de que la cabeza le "ardía" horas antes de su muerte, según ha podido indagar TMZ.

Según el informe de la autopsia obtenido por TMZ, Jacky voló a Miami en mayo para someterse a un procedimiento de liposucción y grasa transferida a su trasero.

La cirugía se completó el 30 de mayo y a Jacky le recetaron Cliprofloxacina (un antibiótico), Oxicodona (un analgésico) y Ondansetrón (contra las náuseas).

Poco después, la paciente de 32 años empezó a tener dolor de cabeza, por lo que volvió al cirujano para una cita postoperatoria, entonces decidió hacerse un masaje para aliviar el dolor. Le aconsejaron que tomara ibuprofeno y que dejara de tomar el ondansetrón.

La noche del 31 de mayo, empezó a sentir que la cabeza le "ardía" y empezó a tener dificultades para hablar. Estaba con su tía, que llamó al 911, pero Jacky no reaccionó antes de que llegaran y fue declarada muerta en el hospital a las 11 de la noche.

Según el informe de la autopsia, Jacky presentaba inflamación cerebral y una extensa hemorragia en la piel del torso.

Una publicación en las redes sociales borrada antes de su muerte decía que estaba en la ciudad para someterse a un "cambio de imagen de mamá" con el Dr. Zachary Okhah.

El Dr. Okhah habló poco después de su muerte, pero no abordó la situación directamente. En lugar de declarar que su oficina "sigue dedicada a la atención médica de la más alta calidad",  añadió: "Todos los procedimientos estéticos se realizan en un ambiente higiénicamente seguro a las normas médicas universalmente reconocidas."

DC, que comparte tres hijos con Jackie, la llamó "LA MEJOR MADRE QUE CONOZCO" en un emotivo homenaje online, diciendo "TE AMARÉ PARA SIEMPRE solo sé que vamos más en serio que nunca y DIOS está en control y nos protege".

El rapero hizo todo lo posible por celebrar la vida de su ser querido en el funeral, multitudes de personas se presentaron a decir adiós y su ataúd se montó en un coche de caballos.

DC dio un emotivo discurso sobre Jackie en el funeral, haciendo eco de la efusión de amor que ha recibido desde su muerte. Para aquellos que no lo saben, Jackie y DC se conocieron en 2015 cuando ambos se unieron al elenco de "Wild 'N Out".

También nos encontramos con DC semanas después de la muerte de Jackie y dijo que está haciendo todo lo posible para mantenerse fuerte mientras regresa al trabajo.

Un representante de Jackie nos dijo que su marca de belleza, J Nova Collection, vio un aumento masivo en las ventas tras su muerte. Recibió más de 2.000 pedidos en solo dos semanas. Nos dijeron que el sitio web tuvo que cerrar debido al aumento del tráfico.

DC Young Fly's partner Jacky Oh!'s died as a result of complications from cosmetic surgery, complaining her head was "burning" just hours before her death, TMZ has learned.

According to the autopsy report, obtained by TMZ, Jacky flew to Miami in May to undergo a procedure where she had liposuction and fat transferred to her butt ... aka a BBL.

The surgery was completed May 30, and Jacky was prescribed Ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic), Oxycodone (a painkiller), and Ondansetron (anti-nausea).

Shortly thereafter, the 32-year-old began to get a headache, returning to the surgeon for a post-operative appointment ... she then decided to get a massage to help alleviate her pain, and was advised to take ibuprofen and to stop taking the Ondansetron.

On the night of May 31, Jacky began to feel her head was "burning" and began to have difficulty speaking, Jacky was with her aunt, who called 911 -- but Jacky went unresponsive before they arrived ... and was pronounced dead at the hospital at 11 PM.

The autopsy report states Jacky had swelling in her brain and extensive bleeding of the skin around her torso.

A since-deleted social media post before Jacky's death claimed she was in the city to go through a "mommy makeover" with Dr. Zachary Okhah.

Dr. Okhah spoke out shortly after her death, but didn't address the situation directly -- instead stating his office "remains devoted to the highest quality medical care." He added, "All aesthetic procedures are performed in a hygienically safe environment to universally recognized medical standards."

DC, who shares 3 kids with Jackie, called her "the GREATEST MOTHER I KNOW" in an emotional tribute online, saying "LOVE YOU FOREVER jus know we goinn harder than ever and GOD is in control and he got us covered."

The rapper went all out on an ATL funeral celebrating the life of his loved one -- droves of folks showed up to say goodbye, and her casket rode in on a horse-drawn carriage.

DC gave a touching speech about Jackie at the funeral ... echoing the outpouring of love she's received since her death. For those unaware, Jackie and DC met back in 2015 when he joined her and the rest of the cast of "Wild 'N Out."

We also got DC weeks after her death, and he said he's doing his best to stay strong as he jumped back to work.

A rep for Jackie told us her beauty brand, J Nova Collection, saw a massive spike in sales following her passing ... receiving over 2,000 orders in just 2 weeks. We were told the website had to shut down due to the increase in traffic.

Andre 3000 and Big Boi haven't released new music as Outkast in over 15 years but that doesn't mean their old classics need to collect dust in the digital age.

The defunct duo released a new music video for the jazzy jam "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" on Friday ... 25 years after it was originally released on their groundbreaking "Aquemini" album.

Neither Big or Dre appear in the animated visual -- a psychedelic romp of colors directed by OK Motion Club, but they're not leaving fans totally empty-handed.

The "Spottie..." video is part of "Aquemini's" 25th-anniversary rollout highlighted by a limited edition new vinyl pressing.

Their Grammy-winning, Diamond-certified double album "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" has gotten similar treatment with custom vinyl to celebrate its 20th anniversary as well.

That's Sleepy Brown singing backup on the song, and the last time we spoke with him, he told us "Aquemini" was hands-down Outkast's best album.

2:35 PM PT -- Tupac Shakur's sister, Sekyiwa "Set," shared a statement to TMZ saying ... "This is no doubt a pivotal moment. The silence of the past 27 years surrounding this case has spoken loudly in our community. It’s important to me that the world, the country, the justice system, and our people acknowledge the gravity of the passing of this man, my brother, my mother’s son, my father’s son. His life and death matters, and should not go unsolved or unrecognized, so yes, today is a victory but I will reserve judgment until all the facts and legal proceedings are complete."

She concluded, "There have been multiple hands involved and there remains so much surrounding the life and death of my brother Tupac and our Shakur family overall. We are seeking real justice, on all fronts."

1:50 PM PT -- Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis' mug shot has been released.

1:02 PM PT -- Law enforcement officials just held a press conference, revealing Davis gave them reason to get back on the case in 2018 when he started doing interviews and eventually wrote a book detailing his involvement in the murder.

Officials say once they executed the search warrant, they were able to present their new evidence to a grad jury who made the decision to indict Davis with one count of open murder with use of a deadly weapon with a gang enhancement.

Tupac Shakur was murdered 27 years ago, and there's finally been a major update in the case -- cops have made an arrest in connection to the killing.

Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis was arrested early Friday morning by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on unknown charges related to Tupac's murder ... according to the AP, who says they spoke with two officials with first-hand knowledge of the arrest.

Davis certainly isn't a new name when it comes to Tupac's murder, admitting in interviews and his book "Compton Street Legend" that he was in the Cadillac from which the bullets that killed Tupac were fired.

Keefe D is a former Crip, and claims to be the uncle of the late Orlando Anderson ... who's been suspected, at least on the streets, to have been the shooter.

Orlando is also the man who got into the fight with Tupac and his crew inside the MGM Grand right after a Mike Tyson fight ... and shortly before the fatal shooting went down just off the Vegas strip.

It was back in July when cops descended on a Las Vegas home owned by Keefe D's wife, Paula Clemons, executing a search warrant in connection to the murder investigation.

During the search, cops took a computer hard drive, cell phones, a copy of Vibe magazine that featured Tupac and tubs containing old photographs.

They also took several .40 caliber bullets.

1:50 PM PT -- La foto policial de Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis' ha sido revelada.

1:02 PM PT -- Las autoridades a cargo acaban de celebrar una conferencia de prensa, en donde dijeron que Davis les dio razones para volver al caso en 2018, cuando comenzó a hacer entrevistas y escribió un libro detallando su participación en el asesinato.

Los oficiales dicen que una vez que ejecutaron la orden de registro, pudieron presentar la nueva evidencia a un jurado graduado que tomó la decisión de acusar a Davis con un cargo de asesinato abierto con uso de un arma mortal con una pandilla.

Tupac Shakur fue asesinado hace 27 años, y finalmente ha habido una actualización importante en el caso, pues la policía arrestó a un sujeto relacionado con el crimen.

Duane Keith "Keefe D" Davis fue detenido la madrugada del viernes por el Departamento de Policía Metropolitana de Las Vegas, por cargos desconocidos relacionados con el asesinato de Tupac. Todo esto, según AP, que dice que habló con dos funcionarios con conocimiento de primera mano de la detención.

Davis ciertamente no es un nombre nuevo cuando se trata del asesinato de Tupac, quien ha admitido en entrevistas y en su libro "Compton Street Legend" que estaba en el Cadillac desde el cual se dispararon las balas que mataron a Tupac.

Keefe D es un antiguo Crip (pandilla callejera de L.A.), y afirma ser tío del fallecido Orlando Anderson, de quien se sospecha, al menos en las calles, que fue el tirador.

Orlando es también el hombre que se metió en la pelea con Tupac y su equipo en el interior del MGM Grand justo después de una pelea de Mike Tyson y poco antes de que el tiroteo fatal ocurriera justo al lado del bulevar de Las Vegas.

Fue en julio cuando los policías se dirigieron hasta una casa de Las Vegas, propiedad de la esposa de Keefe D, Paula Clemons, para ejecutar una orden de registro relacionada con la investigación del asesinato.

Durante el registro, los policías tomaron un disco duro del computador, teléfonos móviles, una copia de la revista Vibe que tenía a Tupac y bañeras con fotografías antiguas.

También se llevaron varias balas del calibre 40.
