Selena Gomez Don't Mind Me ... Just Gonna Read This Kids' Book in Front of Paps

TENDER MOMENT
SplashNews.com

Selena Gomez is now reading to little kids ... and it looks staged AF.

The singer took a stroll Thursday at a park in Burbank where she arrived with a friend both wearing attire totally NOT conducive for a park visit. White booties? Really?!

Selena and her friend -- BTW, also wearing booties -- looked like they knew what they were there for ... to appear like little kids at heart and be moved by a little girl reading a book while sitting on the swing.

Sweet, but staged, don't you think?

Blac Chyna Vandalism Suspect For Smashing Guy's Phone

WHY YOU MAD?
BACKGRID

Blac Chyna went HAM on some guy's phone, and then the guy went OFF ... to talk to the police.

Chyna's listed as the suspect in a misdemeanor vandalism report LAPD took Thursday around 3:30 AM. Law enforcement tells TMZ, the man was shooting video of Chyna as she left a Hollywood club and she wasn't happy about it.

That's obvious in this video shot by another photog, where you clearly see Chyna slap something out of a man's hand. Sources close to Chyna tell us she'd repeatedly told photogs she didn't want to be shot. When they persisted ... she flipped, and threatened to get some "real n***as" to kick their asses.

Based on the video, BC didn't need backup.

Harvey Weinstein 'I'm Not Doing Okay, Gotta Get Help!' And Screw Those Celebs

GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE
BACKGRID

Harvey Weinstein pled his case for getting a second chance in Hollywood on his way out of town -- but he also seemed to take a parting shot at the celebs who've been bashing him.

Weinstein left his daughter's L.A. home shortly after 3 PM Wednesday, and directed the paparazzi as if he were on the set of one of his Oscar-winning movies. It might be his last film for a while -- Weinstein made it clear he's not in a good place, begged for a second chance and admitted, "I gotta get help, guys."

TMZ broke the story ... Weinstein's now getting that help. He took off on a private jet Wednesday evening, bound for an Arizona treatment facility.

Interestingly, in this video he's leaving his daughter Remy's home ... the same place police responded earlier in the day when she called 911, and said her father was "suicidal and depressed."

As Weinstein bolted for the airport, he told photogs he was "not like those f**king pricks who treat you like s**t." Watch ... sure sounds like he's referring to Hollywood's A-list, many of whom have condemned him over the last 48 hours.

Grudge much?

Sean Spicer No Peace Talk with Melissa McCarthy ... But I'm Open to It

IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS
MEGA

Sean Spicer's riding high off his surprise appearance at the Emmy Awards, and while it got him plenty of applause in the room ... it did NOT get him a sit-down with Melissa McCarthy.

Sean seemed pretty damn happy Monday night as he arrived back in Washington, DC ... and talked about keeping his cameo under wraps -- as well as his simmering beef with Melissa.

It's not fully heated beef between Spicey and McCarthy, but he's definitely been critical of her 'SNL' portrayal. So, with his moment in the Hollywood sun ... you'd think the duo could have seized the opportunity to meet. Maybe even at the podium.

Sean's take seems to be -- it'll happen, but he ain't rushing it.

Matt Damon Watch Out Alt-Right March at Your Own Peril in Boston

BOSTON STRONG
TMZ.com

Matt Damon clearly thinks everyone has a right to exercise free speech in this country, but the alt-right may be in for a surprise Saturday in Boston.

We got the Boston native at LAX Friday and he never suggested the marchers would be met with physical resistance, but listen not just to his words but how he says them.

It's interesting ... organizers of the rally have denounced the Charlottesville violence and racist message, claiming they are a conglomerate of libertarians, progressives, conservatives and independents. But police are worried this will become a rally laced with racism.

Matt knows a thing or 2 about being Boston strong, so maybe the marchers should keep that in mind.

Alfonso Ribeiro Jazzy Jeff is Crazy ... 'Fresh Prince' Revival a No-Go!!!

NO CHANCE OF COMEBACK
TMZ.com

Nowww this is a story all about how ... Alfonso Ribeiro just crushed the hopes and dreams of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" fans.

Carlton was at LAX when our guy asked him about DJ Jazzy Jeff hinting at a 'Fresh Prince' reunion of some kind 21 years after the show went off the air -- and he shot it down HARD.

The current "America's Funniest Home Videos" host seems like he's totally moved on from the hit '90s sitcom ... and has some advice for people who haven't yet.

Looks like if you want a cast reunion ... you'll have to settle for Alfonso's Instagram pic.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The KISS co-founder was out in Bev Hills Wednesday when a pap asked him if he had any advice for JB after canceling the Purpose tour. Gene ain't buying Bieber's reason for bailing, and has a theory about what's truly ailing the young pop star.

Just a case of the blues, according to Gene. He wrote a song about it.

Justin Bieber Out-of-Work Tour Crew Not on MY Payroll

NOT MY STAFF, NOT MY PROBLEM
SplashNews.com

Justin Bieber's refusing to say sorry to the couple hundred people suddenly out of work due to him ending his Purpose tour -- because as he sees it, that's someone else's responsibility.

As Justin was leaving BOA Steakhouse on Sunset Tuesday night -- with his pal, Patrick Schwarzenegger, driving -- he was asked if he had any message for his tour crew. As TMZ first reported ... they're pissed because they never got a heads-up Bieber was pulling the plug and leaving them high and dry.

Bieber was shockingly defiant, and explained the difference -- in his eyes -- between tour crew and his personal staffers.

We think the crew would say karma damn near bit Justin in the ass in this clip. Watch what happened to his Black Amex card.

Justin Bieber is publicly denying religion played a role in him abruptly pulling the plug on his Purpose tour with just 14 shows to go.

Biebs was grabbing lunch Tuesday in Bev Hills when a pap asked about the sudden decision to quit. Justin seemed perplexed at the suggestion it had anything to do with his spirituality.

TMZ.com

Big Sean's an open (comic) book ... when it comes to his infatuation with superheroes.

The rapper was leaving Craig's in Weho Saturday night with his gf, singer Jhene Aiko, when we asked if he's into the Comic-Con scene. His answer was an enthusiastic yes.

Sean says he's into "Star Wars," both the DC and Marvel Universes ... and was once so star-struck by Stan Lee that he almost caused a traffic accident to meet him.

O.J. Simpson's Son Out Shopping As Dad Gets Parole

7/20/17
FUTURE REUNION?
SplashNews.com

Justin Simpson didn't seem as transfixed about his father's parole news as the rest of America ... and had very little reaction to the fact he'll be getting out of prison soon.

O.J.'s 28-year-old son was leaving Walmart in St. Petersburg, Florida when a photog asked him about the parole board's decision ... which happened about 90 minutes before this was shot. He smiled for a moment, but mostly hid his emotions as he got into his Tesla.

Justin and his sister, Sydney, are reportedly realtors now. It's unclear what their relationship is with O.J. now. Interestingly, Simpson said during the hearing he'd most likely be moving to Florida once he gets out of prison.

You'll recall ... Sydney and Justin were asleep in their mother Nicole's condo when she and Ron Goldman were murdered.

Ex-Con/Model Jeremy Meeks Rolls with GF and Hired Muscle

RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT
SplashNews.com

Jeremy Meeks was strolling WeHo with his heiress/model girlfriend Chloe Green, and he's probably got more bodyguards than any ex-con in America.

Jeremy and Chloe -- daughter of a billionaire and former "Made in Chelsea" star -- were leaving Catch restaurant Friday night when one of the bodyguards just wasn't having it with our photog.

Meeks was silent as he held Chloe's hand. As you know, he's filed for legal separation from his wife of 8 years. He listed the date of separation as June 24th, 4 days before he was spotted making out with Chloe on a yacht.

George Lucas Scolds Autograph Seekers ... This is Why I'm Rich and You're Not

GET A JOB, KID!
Splashnews.com - GTVREALITY.com

George Lucas has some harsh advice for autograph seekers and compared the ones he saw Friday in NYC to beggars on a street corner.

The "Star Wars" creator was immediately peeved when a few people looking for his John Hancock -- not true fans in his opinion -- approached him. Instead of blowing them off, George lectured 'em on how to make an honest living ... in the movie industry.

The 'graphers didn't back down and it turned into a back-and-forth between a billionaire and a dude hustling to make a few hundred bucks.

Looks like this is George's new mission. He dropped similar pearls of wisdom last month in L.A., making it clear he's derailing the autograph gravy train.

DEMARIO IN PARADISE
BACKGRID

DeMario Jackson's livin' easy now that Warner Bros. cleared him of sexual assault on "Bachelor in Paradise" ... and the handful of hot women with him probably helps too.

DeMario hit up Avenue in L.A. for a night out with several ladies Friday night. He didn't answer any questions ... but his smile said a lot. Questionable t-shirt choice though.

We broke the story ... Warner Bros. concluded their investigation of Jackson's 'BiP' scandal with Corinne Olympios and found no sexual assault occurred. Still, DeMario says he won't return to the show.

Looks like he's got better things going on now anyway.

DeMario Jackson Begs 'BiP' Fans ... Don't Bash Corinne

LEAVE HER ALONE
SplashNews.com

DeMario Jackson doesn't want anyone hating on Corinne Olympios for what went down in the pool between them ... leading to "Bachelor in Paradise" production shutting down.

Jackson was leaving a gym in L.A. when he was asked if he was any closer to obtaining the pool footage he believes will clear him of wrongdoing. He's tight-lipped about that ... but opens up about Corinne and any backlash from their sexual encounter.

DeMario makes it clear -- people shouldn't be taking sides, and definitely shouldn't slander Corinne. He also seems very confident ... there's no reason to paint him as the bad guy.
