Adele is engaging in matrimonial shenanigans ... flashing an ENORMOUS rock Wednesday night at the Lakers/Mavericks game.

Adele and Rich Paul were sitting courtside, of course, at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena, as she clearly leaned into rumors she and Rich are already hitched.

There have been rumors for sure ... as you probably know she's been referring to herself as RP's wife during her residency in Vegas. Once she said she wasn't "the greatest wife when it comes to football."

And just this week there were folks at the Alan Carr comedy show in L.A. who say Adele was there and confirmed the rumored nuptials.

We haven't been able to confirm, but the rock is pretty solid evidence, don't you think?

As you know ... Adele bought a massive estate from Sylvester Stallone for $58 mil and she and Rich have gutted it, so it seems they're putting down stakes.

America's most famous prisoners are chowing down on turkey and gravy this Thanksgiving ... but Tory Lanez, Todd and Julie Chrisley are about to find out what R. Kelly already knows ... the bird is better at home.

TMZ obtained prison menus from across the country, where celebrity convicts are being treated to your typical Thanksgiving staples ... turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.

Here's a breakdown of their Turkey Day feasts:

Todd at Florida's FPC Pensacola:

-- Roast turkey, glazed ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, assorted pies

Julie at Kentucky's FMC Lexington:

-- Roast turkey or baked turkey ham, baked candied yams, cornbread dressing, macaroni and cheese, gravy, green beans, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, pie

Tory at California Correctional Institution Tehachapi:

-- Roast turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cornbread dressing, diced carrots, dinner roll, green salad, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie

Suge Knight at San Diego's Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility:

-- Same menu as Tory

Harvey Weinstein at New York's Mohawk Correctional Facility

R. Kelly at North Carolina's FCI Butner Medium I

Joe Exotic at Texas' FMC Forth Worth:

-- Smoked turkey legs, cornbread stuffing, macaroni and cheese, sweet potato casserole, green beans, turkey gravy, dinner roll, pecan or sweet potato pie

In addition to all the traditional food, prisons are offering several activities on Thanksgiving Day.

Últimamente hemos visto muchas locuras en los aviones —peleas, amenazas de orinar y posesión demoníaca—, así que es muy refrescante ver a Brenda Lee cantando su éxito navideño y llevando un poco de alegría a los cielos.

La cantante de 78 años, fue la estrella de su vuelo cuando se subió al intercomunicador de cabina para cantar "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", su canción más famosa y una de las más queridas de la época navideña de todos los tiempos, con diciembre a la vuelta de la esquina.

Sin duda, los demás pasajeros disfrutaron de la actuación y, sinceramente, fue muy simpática.

Ahora, en marcado contraste con eso, ha habido otros episodios que han estado haciendo noticia últimamente - incluyendo una mujer llorando y luchando para volver a su asiento ... así como otro alboroto donde una mujer amenazó con hacer pis allí mismo en el pasillo.

En ambos momentos... se podría decir que hubo una gran falta de alegría navideña.

Afortunadamente, para la gente en este avión en particular, tenían a Brenda allí para ayudar a hacer el vuelo agradable y libre de pesadillas.

Chaka Zulu won't be charged for the fatal shooting in June 2022 that left one man dead outside an Atlanta restaurant -- prosecutors are dropping the case after Chaka insisted he fired in self-defense.

On Wednesday, Fulton County prosecutors released a statement to WSB-TV outlining their decision not to indict Chaka, who is Ludacris' manager, over the incident.

"The Atlanta Police Department made an arrest on charges determined at a standard of probable cause, which is their duty in this and all cases The District Attorney’s office investigates cases to determine what can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt at trial ... Our investigation of the facts and analysis of applicable law indicates that this is an appropriate resolution of this case based on the standard of proof required. Because the defendant is now involved in a pre-indictment diversion program, we will not comment further about the matter at this time.”

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... surveillance video we obtained showed Chaka and a group of several men, including the slain Artez Benton get into a skirmish outside Chaka's Apt4B restaurant and not too long after, fists were thrown and shots were fired.

Chaka's lawyer Gabe Banks also sent a statement to the local pub ... thanking D.A. Fani Will and her team for their thorough investigation and saying the music industry vet would be focusing on the "nurturing of his family" while also expressing sadness for the loss of life.

We've seen a lot of downright insanity on airplanes lately -- with fights, threats of urination and demonic possession -- so it's super refreshing to see Brenda Lee singing her hit holiday song and bringing some joy to the skies.

The 78-year-old singer was recently the star of her flight when she hopped on the cabin intercom to sing 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' -- her most famous song, and one of the most beloved Christmas-time tracks of all time, with December right around the corner.

The other passengers certainly enjoyed the performance ... and honestly, it was super cute.

Now, in stark contrast to that are other in-flight episodes that have been making news lately -- including one woman wailing and fighting to get back to her seat ... as well as another brouhaha where a woman threatened to take a leak right there in the aisle.

In both of those ugly moments ... you could say there was a major lack of holiday cheer.

Fortunately for the folks on this particular plane, they had Brenda there to help make the flight delightful and nightmare-free.

Lil Eazy-E thinks his father, Eazy-E's street sign in Compton probably should've come a little bit sooner ... but the day is finally here and everybody's celebratin'!!!

TMZ Hip Hop chopped it up with Lil Eazy on Wednesday as "Eazy Street" became the newest official order in Hub City. LE revealed he's got big plans for the estate in the future ... including some collab with AI.

The AI idea is just one of the visions Eazy says he's floating to honor his famous father's legacy ... AI tools could prove useful in completing some of the unreleased tracks.

Big Eazy died in 1995 but many of his friends and family were still around to support the street sign ... Alonzo Williams the DJ/club owner who helped launch everyone's career, several of his children -- even his mother pulled up to see her son's tribute.

Also present was original N.W.A. member DJ Yella but the other surviving members Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and MC Ren were noticeably absent but Lil Eazy says he's not surprised.

Lil Eazy says Yella was the only one who showed up to the "Boyz-N-The-Hood" rapper's funeral back in the day so he doesn't expect much change-up ... but does say they need to pay a visit to Momma Eazy for holding them down during the early days.

Axl Rose está negando una demanda de agresión sexual que una mujer acaba de levantar contra él en la corte, diciendo que es ficción completa y nunca ha oído ni pío sobre el incidente hasta ahora.

El abogado del rockero, Alan Gutman de Gutman Law, le dice a TMZ: "En pocas palabras, este incidente nunca sucedió. En particular, estas reclamaciones ficticias se presentaron el día antes de que expire el plazo de presentación del Estado de Nueva York".

Gutman continúa: "Aunque no niega la posibilidad de una foto de fans tomada al pasar, el Sr. Rose no tiene ningún recuerdo de haber conocido o hablado con el demandante y nunca ha oído hablar de estas alegaciones de nuevo ficticias antes de hoy".

Finalmente, termina con esto: "El Sr. Rose confía en que este caso se resolverá a su favor".

En otras palabras, Axl está descartando las acusaciones de Sheila Kennedy como totalmente inventadas, y lo más importante, está sugiriendo que esto solo se está presentando en este momento para poder sacar provecho de una ventana clave en relación con el estatuto de limitaciones relativas a las presuntas víctimas de abuso sexual en Nueva York.

TMZ lo dijo primero, Kennedy detalló un presunto incidente que ella afirma que pasó en 1989, cuando ella dice que estaba de fiesta con Axl, quien ella afirma se volvió violento cuando Axl supuestamente la ató y la penetró sexualmente analmente sin su consentimiento.

Axl Rose is denying a claim of sexual assault that a woman just levied against him in court -- saying it's complete fiction ... and he's never heard a peep about the incident until now.

The rocker's attorney, Alan Gutman of Gutman Law, tells TMZ ... "Simply put, this incident never happened. Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires."

Gutman continues ... "Though he doesn’t deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these again fictional allegations prior to today."

Finally, he finishes with this ... "Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favor."

In other words, Axl's writing off Sheila Kennedy's allegations as totally made up -- and more importantly, he's suggesting this is only being filed right now to be able to capitalize on a key window regarding the statute of limitations pertaining to alleged sex abuse victims in NY.

TMZ broke the story ... Kennedy detailed an alleged incident she claims went down in 1989, when she says she was partying with Axl ... which she claims turned violent when AR allegedly tied her up and sexually penetrated her anally without her consent.

Ne-Yo is no stranger to giving back and this holiday season he's undeniably in his element ... helping out some of the community's most vulnerable citizens.

Ne-Yo was serving food to roughly 150 to 200 people Wednesday at City of Refuge Atlanta ... helping those who came for a Thanksgiving meal and a glimpse of the superstar singer in the flesh.

City of Refuge Atlanta provides shelter to the homeless, victims of sex trafficking, even single mothers with kids getting back on their feet, and provides gym amenities in addition to other wellness programs and employment services.

We're told Ne-Yo also donated a bunch of desserts to sweeten the pot for Thanksgiving -- and 4 of his children helped pass them out.

Tyga set out to make his 34th birthday legendary and based on this evidence, he succeeded ... twice, with parties in Vegas and Los Angeles this week surrounded by plenty of his celebrity pals!!!

Tyga's first string of celebrations kicked off inside Vegas' Spearmint Rhino strip club immediately after the F1 racing events, in the early hours of Nov. 19 ... and we're told everybody and their momma showed up.

YG, Saweetie, Swae Lee, Future, French Montana, Coi Leray, Odell Beckham Jr., Nav and Russell Westbrook were all Last Kings and Queens that evening!!!

Tyga's longtime bud Lil Wayne didn't want him to shoulder the load alone having to dole out stacks of cash to the strippers in the venue, and made a very supportive appearance ... his and Fat Joe's classic "Make It Rain" anthem clearly still lives up to that title!!!

Sunday was T-Raww's actual birthday and he enlisted the WTB Agency to morph a private West Hollywood residence into a makeshift club "Studio 34" ... disco ball and all!!!

The 2nd shindig was highlighted by cameos from Leo DiCaprio, Chris Brown, Kaytranada,  and Bryson Tiller ... and Saweetie, DDG and 310Babii all grabbed the mic for live performances!!!

Lola Brooke is in a giving mood this week ... the "Don't Play With It" rapper popped up in the Brooklyn neighborhood that molded her to ensure a couple hundred kids have a yummy Thanksgiving!!!

TMZ Hip Hop got this video of Lola and her Team 80 labelmate Bleezy personally serving roughly 200 kids from the Children of Promise organization ... which mentors and provides therapeutic empowerment services to children whose parents are incarcerated.

Lola partnered with Sei Less Restaurant and its co-owner Dara Mirjahangiry to have the kids try something different this go around ... which was dishes with an Asian fusion twist that surely expanded their palate.

There were smiles around as everyone rushed Lola for selfies, and we're told Lolo's mom was also there dropping some knowledge for the kids to grow on.

Lola's a fan of dishing and taking solid advice -- the last time we spoke to her, she was asking Lori Harvey to teach her tips for navigating the high-class dating game.

Britney Spears' bizarre social media post about her shirtless "uncle" isn't actually one of her actual relatives ... but the guy in the pic is super close to the singer, and we know who he is.

Here's the deal ... Britney posted a strange photo on Instagram Tuesday night of a shirtless man taking a mirror selfie, which she captioned ... "This is my uncle 😉 !!! What if his back is my face 🤔🤔 ???"

Britney fans were left wondering who the hell the "uncle" is -- his face is out of the frame -- and what the hell Britney was talking about.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the guy in Britney's post isn't her uncle, it's her longtime manager and best friend Cade Hudson.

We're told Britney posted an old photo of Cade from a few years ago, and there's no real meaning behind her post ... basically, she was just being silly and having fun with her followers.

For the record, here's Britney's real uncle, Willie Spears ... who bears no resemblance to Cade.

El extraño "tío" sin camiseta que Britney Spears subió a sus redes sociales no es en realidad un pariente real, pero sí es súper cercano a ella y sabemos quién es.

La cuestión es así, Britney publicó una extraña foto en Instagram el martes por la noche en donde aparece un hombre sin camiseta tomándose un selfie en el espejo. Como comentario, escribió: ¡¡¡"Este es mi tío 😉 !!! Qué tal si su espalda es mi cara 🤔🤔 ???".

Los fans de Britney se quedaron preguntando quién demonios era el "tío" y a qué se refería Brit con todo esto. Su cara está fuera del encuadre, por lo que no se puede ver.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el hombre en el post no es su tío, es su manager de toda la vida y mejor amigo Cade Hudson.

Nos dicen que Britney publicó una foto de Cade de hace unos años y que no hay ningún significado real detrás de su post. Básicamente, estaba tomándole el pelo a sus seguidores.

Para que conste, así luce el verdadero tío de Britney, Willie Spears, que como pueden ver no tiene ningún parecido con Cade.

Kanye West cree que su ex-entrenador, Harley Pasternak, lo está acosando en Dubai, aunque TMZ ha indagado que fue Harley quien se sintió lo suficientemente amenazado como para pedir refuerzos, luego de toparse con él en un hotel.

Harley y Ye estaban en el Atlantis Royal Dubai el lunes por la noche, y de acuerdo con el equipo de Ye, el rapero se sintió incómodo y pensó que Harley lo estaba siguiendo. Tanto es así, que sacó su teléfono y comenzó a grabarlo mientras hablaba con el personal del hotel.

Sin embargo, fuentes con conocimiento directo en el complejo le dicen a TMZ que Harley estaba en la conserjería haciendo una reserva para cenar cuando se encontró cara a cara con Ye. Recuerden, estos dos tienen una historia tumultuosa.

Harley fue quien llamó a la policía y a los paramédicos en 2016, cuando percibió que Ye se estaba comportando erráticamente en una sesión de entrenamiento. Esa llamada llevó a que Kanye fuera internado en el Centro Médico de UCLA para una evaluación mental.

En esta oportunidad, nos cuentan que eran las 9 pm aproximadamente en Dubai, cuando Ye se acercó a Harley e intentó abrazarlo, pero Harley lo rechazó. Nos dicen que el conserje le preguntó a Harley si necesitaba seguridad del hotel y él dijo que sí.

Nos dicen que la seguridad llegó, pero que Ye y su equipo ya habían abandonado la zona en ese momento, por lo que no hubo más contacto entre ellos.

Kanye West believes his ex-trainer, Harley Pasternak, is stalking him around Dubai -- they did run into each other there -- but TMZ has learned it's Harley who felt threatened enough to call for backup.

Harley and Ye were both at Atlantis the Royal Dubai resort on Monday evening, and according to Ye's camp ... the rapper felt uncomfortable and believed Harley was tailing him around Dubai. So much so, he whipped out his phone and started recording Harley as he spoke to hotel staff.

However, sources with direct knowledge at the resort tell TMZ ... Harley was at the concierge desk making a dinner reservation when he came face-to-face with Ye. Remember, these 2 have a tumultuous history.

Harley's the one who called police and paramedics back in 2016 when he said Ye started behaving erratically during a training session. That call led to Kanye being committed to UCLA Medical Center for mental evaluation.

Cut to Monday in Dubai, around 9 PM we're told, when our sources say Ye approached Harley and attempted to embrace him -- perhaps trying to hug it out -- but Harley rebuffed him. We're told the concierge asked Harley if he needed hotel security, and he said yes.

We're told security arrived, but Ye and his team had left the area by that point -- and there was no further contact between them.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is weighing in on Taylor Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce ... saying their new romance has been "great for the league."

Commish shared his two cents on the Tayvis craze during an interview with "CBS Mornings" on Wednesday ... and he's shipping the two lovebirds pretty hard after seeing the effect its had on his organization.

"They're happy, they seem to be enjoying their relationship," Goodell said. "That's great in and of itself."

"It has connected more fans of Taylor's and more fans of the NFL. And, in some ways, to see that they have a connection, now they have a connection to our game and to Taylor," he added. "She's an unbelievable artist. Obviously, Travis is an unbelievable player."

"I think it's great for the league to have that kind of attention, so we welcome it."

Of course, Taylor's appearances at Travis' Kansas City Chiefs games have been widely documented ... with broadcasting crews showing her cheering on her man from her suite seats.

The two have become quite the power couple over the past few months ... with Travis flying to Argentina to hit up her 'Eras' show during his bye week.

Our sources tell us Tayvis will be together for the holidays ... which is a huge step in their relationship.
