Usher and Chris Brown got into a heated argument last night -- which apparently led to some sort of a scuffle that got violent outside ... and TMZ has video of the lead-up to that.

Check out this footage that we obtained, which we're told was taken very early Saturday morning at the Skate Rock City roller rink in Vegas ... where CB was celebrating his 34th birthday among a lot of celeb pals, including Usher -- with whom he's incredibly close.

EARLIER THAT NIGHT

While Usher and co. sang to Chris earlier in the evening when everything was fine, things unfortunately got ugly in the wee hours of the morning ... when eyewitnesses tell us Chris was attempting to talk to Teyana Taylor, who was also in attendance and sitting on a bench just outside of the rink. We're told, for whatever reason, Teyana was ignoring him.

Our sources tell us this pissed Chris off, and he started to yell at her ... and that's when Usher intervened and tried to calm him down. You can see that in our video here.

We're told Chris wasn't having it, cursing at Usher and Teyana -- but then, mostly focusing his anger directly at Usher. Eventually, our sources say Chris told his crew they were leaving and they exited the facility. We're told Usher took off his skates and went after them.

Our eyewitness -- who says they were present for this -- tells us they saw Usher go behind a string of charter buses that were parked in the lot ... where Chris and his crew were at. We're told a short time later, Usher emerged with what appeared to be a bloody nose.

Unclear if he went to the hospital, or if a police report was filed. We've reached out to Vegas Metro -- but haven't heard of anything even remotely resembling this being called in.

Meanwhile ... Usher, Teyana and Chris have all been radio silent this morning -- with none of them having said a thing yet to confirm or deny a report initially put out by Hollywood Unlocked, which broke the news of a fight between the two R&B superstars/friends.

Thing is, Usher is slated to hit the stage tonight there in Vegas for his Lovers & Friends festival ... as is Chris. Unclear if either of them is going to go through with it. We'll see.

Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner are without question an item ... the two were seen all around NYC together following the Met Gala.

The Puerto Rican rapper and the supermodel showed up arm and arm to a private soiree and then later returned to a swanky Manhattan hotel with Kendall's sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

Check out video, obtained by TMZ, which shows Kendall and Bad Bunny strolling side by side to the party with paparazzi in tow. KJ and BB were obviously enjoying each other's company, smiling and chatting with one another. By the way, KJ was dressed to kill in a sequined black bodysuit showing off her incredible physique.

When the two arrived back at their hotel after the Met, Kendall filed out of their ride first and walked inside the hotel with Bad Bunny several steps behind her. Although the two were not seen in the same frame, they did end up in the same place.

Same thing happened earlier in the day when they both arrived separately at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Met Gala.

As you might know, the pair have been spending a lot of time together since February when they were first spotted with one another.

Leo DiCaprio & Gigi Hadid Fancy Meeting You at This After-Party!!! No Connection, Though

Published | Updated

Leonardo DiCaprio and Gigi Hadid strolling into the same event after the Met Gala might scream total rendezvous, but the night did not end with a love connection ... not between them, anyway.

Gigi and Leo both hit up the Zero Bond after-party Monday night -- the same spot where the likes of Margot Robbie, Olivia Wilde, and another of Leo's exes, Gisele Bündchen, chose to have some fun.

Of course, Leo arrived in his usual 'fit -- hat pulled down low with a face mask -- but once inside, we're told no one saw them hanging out. They certainly weren't photographed together ... and they bounced at separate times, too.

Alas, there would be no rekindling in NYC ... that notion was totally debunked by Leo exiting the party as only he could.

He walked out alone and got into a limo van ... and seconds later 4 models followed him into the said van. The Pied Piper of models, this guy!

As you know, he and Gigi were first linked together in September but the spark reportedly went out earlier this year ... although, they were spotted leaving the same restaurant in Milan during Fashion Week in February amid breakup rumors.

Unclear where they stand today, but it looks like Monday night's after-party bump-in could be chalked up to coincidence.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were 2 hours late to the Met Gala but apparently wanted to squeeze the life out of their Met Gala after-party experience ... leaving the Remedy Diner in the wee hours of Tuesday morning!!!

The couple hazily greeted cameras early Tuesday morning, Rihanna dressed in white and Rocky in a trench coat while sporting a gigantic J in his mouth.

Rihanna, who recently revealed she's in her third trimester, didn't seem to let pregnancy slow her down at all ... as she was clearly able to keep up well into the night -- and morning.

The pair were the talk of the Met, with some wondering if they were even going to show face, but all was made right when they finally graced the carpet -- 2 hours late.

No word on what Rihanna and Rocky have planned for Tuesday, but we're assuming most of their AM schedule will be dedicated to getting some serious sleep!!!

Machine Gun Kelly Parties Up a Storm For 33rd Bday ... Without Megan Fox

Published | Updated

Machine Gun Kelly's celebrating his 33rd trip around the sun ... and while pics from inside his bash look pretty insane, what's most notable is the absence of his fiancée Megan Fox -- further fueling rumors they might be dunzo.

MGK posted some snaps from his birthday party, captioning them "i am 32 + 🖕🏼” ... with a good chunk of his pals in attendance as he blew out the candles -- on a cake with his cat's face on it, no less.

IT'S LIT

Looked like a pretty epic party ... one that even cops apparently had to shut down, but fans have been pointing out the fact Megan was nowhere to be found -- and as you can imagine, the comments section had its fair share of people asking where she was.

As we reported, Megan had fans convinced they split back in February, when she unfollowed him and scrubbed a lot of their photos together from her social media -- she also quoted lyrics from Beyoncé's "Lemonade" album ... code for dealing with cheating.

She went dark on IG for a bit before coming back, and denying any cheating rumors that pinned MGK with his guitarist, Sophie Lloyd.

TMZ broke the story, the 2 were spotted together earlier this month, however -- hanging out in Hawaii with MF in a new hairdo. Unclear what's going on in that relationship, but we know she wasn't with him for his big day.

DJING WITH DIPLO

Michael Phelps was swimming in EDM this weekend -- and even though he wasn't in the water ... the dude found a reason to lose his shirt anyway.

The all-time Olympian -- who's got 23 gold medals to his name -- was on hand Saturday night at the XS Nightclub within the Wynn Las Vegas resort ... and he was in partying mood, which was only facilitated further with Diplo in the DJ booth and a packed crowd.

Mike and Diplo bro'd out behind the turntables ... and it looks like MP got so hyped, he ended up going bare-chested amid al the festivities. Maybe he was celebrating a bet on Gervonta Davis -- who won a big boxing match against Ryan Garcia earlier in the night.

Speaking of fighters ... Mr. Conor McGregor was also in attendance, and Phelps got in a battle pose with the guy. He also smiled for the camera alongside Travis Kelce!

There was even more star power in the crowd ... Sabrina Carpenter, Dixie Damelio and Loren Gray -- not to mention Michael B. Jordan, Chace Crawford, David Dobrik and others.

Of course, there were even more A-listers who were front and center for the fight itself ... these are just a handful of celebs who decided to rage after the fact at this particular club.

Looks like Michael did a lap or two to hobnob with the giddiest of them. In record time too, we imagine.

Leonardo DiCaprio Chill w/ Bradley Cooper's Ex Cozying up to Irina at Coachella!!!

Published | Updated
UPDATE

11:50 AM PT -- As it turns out, this hot brunette that's leaning up against Leo isn't just any Coachella flower girl ... it's actually Bradley Cooper's ex and baby mama, Irina Shayk.

UPDATE

There was a passing resemblance from the photo alone, but upon further examination ... there's now no doubt this is her. For one, we know she's out there in the desert right now -- courtesy of her Instagram. And two ... she did a little shoot earlier in the day with this blonde friend of hers -- fellow fashion model Stella Maxwell -- and they're sporting similar looks.

UPDATE
UPDATE

In fact, if you look close ... you can see Irina is rocking the same floral-pattern top and big loop earrings in both the day shoot and her nighttime hangout with Leo. Not too much PDA that we can see between them, but she certainly looks comfortable ... as does LDC.

UPDATE

As far as we know, Irina is single ... and seemingly ready to mingle. She's got the kid with Brad, but wasn't on mommy duty this weekend. Of course, Leo's unattached right now too.

Leonardo DiCaprio was back in the desert this weekend trying to be as low-key as possible -- but his typical incognito look gave him away ... as did the 2 beauties he was hanging with.

The actor was spotted out and about late Saturday night and early into the wee hours of Sunday as Day 2 at Coachella came to a close. While the Empire Polo Club might've closed its gates following the headliners' sets ... there was another party to hit right next door.

Of course, we're talking about Levi's and Tequila Don Julio's Neon Carnival -- which was hosted just a stone's throw away at the Desert International Horse Park in Thermal, CA ... basically, a mini-Coachella.

As we just mentioned ... Leo was in good company -- hanging out with a couple of young women as they all got nice and snug amid the packed crowd. LDC was rocking his usual black baseball cap and COVID-friendly face mask ... which he pulled down in this rare instance. He also eventually lifted his head enough to see that gorgeous face of his.

Hey, bud! Good to see ya.

Looks like DiCaprio was with some friends for this outing too -- and by the looks of his smile ... he was having a ball. Remember, he's a Coachella regular ... having made appearances for the past several years -- and he's usually rolling with a hottie or two.

While he may have been the biggest star on the scene Saturday ... he was far from the only famous person hitting up the Neon Carnival on the late night -- there were lots of others.

Just to give a sense of who else popped in ... Lil Nas X, Janelle Monae, Camila Cabello, Metro Boomin, Lil Baby, Future, Teyana Taylor, Shay Mitchell, Anderson .Paak, Coi Leray, Olivia Culpo, Glorilla, Yo Gotti ... and a helluva lot more. A who's who, really.

Now the real question ... who's Leo chatting up though??? 👀

Other brands like Guess Jeans, Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequilla and H&M were all on hand to hook up the festivals famous.

Not all those Day 1 ragers were up and at 'em yesterday ... there was plenty of resting and soaking up some sun from the comforts of one of the many private pools. Aurora Culpo gave a whole new meaning to the phrase "kickin' it by the pool" ... her muted black suit still somehow gave her a leg up on the Coachella competition.

Saturday was definitely also for the boys ... cause YouTube vlogger Toddy Smith was hanging on the pool's edge with some buds, while Zane Hijazi and Heath Hussar wedged themselves close together for some selfies to show they clearly still have pull in Hollywood.

Sunday Funday is upon us ... now is the time to dig deep and give it all you got!

Tristan Thompson's back in the NBA and back in the L.A. club scene with his brother-in-Kardashian/Jenner-dom, Corey Gamble -- they soaked up some nightlife after the Lakers took home a big fat W.

Kris Jenner's bae and Khloe Kardashian's baby daddy headed to Bird Streets Club in WeHo to celebrate Tristan's new team, the Lakers, defeating the Timberwolves to earn a spot in the NBA playoffs. They left together around 1 AM Wednesday ... in a chauffeur-driven Maybach. Nice!

Neither guy had much to say as they exited, but gotta figure they were in good spirits after the W. Shout out to Corey's stylist, 'cause dude was rocking an eye-popping Lakers gold silk leisure suit as he sat courtside.

Tristan didn't see any playing time during his first game back from retirement.

Odell Beckham Jr. Parties With Lamar Jackson At LIV ... After Signing With Ravens

Published | Updated
UPDATE

8:22 AM PT -- Odell Beckham Jr. was living it up this weekend ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports OBJ celebrated his new deal with the Ravens with a lavish dinner at the famed steakhouse Prime 112 in Miami Beach.

UPDATE

Our sources tell us ... that Odell met up with his new QB, Lamar Jackson, at the steakhouse, where they dined until almost 1:45 am with a group of seven people.

UPDATE

Of course, OBJ previously partied it up with Israel Adesanya on Saturday at E11EVEN after the UFC Champ knocked out Alex Pereira in the main event of UFC 287 at the Kaseya Center.

Odell Beckham Jr. and Lamar Jackson are already connecting off the field ... the two NFL superstars hit up LIV nightclub in Miami Beach after OBJ signed a multi-million dollar deal with the Ravens.

OBJ and LJ were seen on video in the famed MIA nightclub ... partying it up as music played in the background, and they were greeted with a sign that read, "Welcome Lamar & OBJ."

Odell was visibly into the moment, enjoying himself after inking the one-year, $15 million deal (which could reportedly go up to $18 million).

The more pressing question is ... how does Lamar feel?

Remember, the 2019 NFL MVP revealed he asked for a trade earlier this month after failing to reach a lucrative, long-term deal with the Ravens.

You've got to imagine Jackson loves the idea of bringing in a top-tier wideout like Odell ... and judging by the fact they're partying together on night 1, it appears that's the case.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Before hitting LIV, OBJ, wearing a Ravens hat, announced the news on social media ... dressing his son, Zydn, in Jackson's No.8 Ravens jersey, with the word "Flock" as the caption.

Jackson publicly congratulated Beckham on signing with the Ravens ... posting a photo on IG of the two on what appears to be a FaceTime call with the caption, #TRUZZ.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Ravens fans have already started daydreaming about what an LJ-OBJ connection could look like on the field ... assuming Jackson's changed his mind on wanting out of Baltimore.

UConn Fans Smash Windows, Light Fires ... Chaos After Championship

Published | Updated
UPDATE

6:43 AM PT -- A UConn spokesperson tells TMZ Sports ... 15 people -- most of whom are UConn students -- were arrested and charged during the chaotic celebration.

UPDATE

Sixteen others, meanwhile, needed to be transported to the hospital with injuries -- though none were considered significant.

UPDATE

"The vandalism primarily consisted of broken light poles in the center of campus," the spokesperson added, "broken glass in windows in some nearby buildings and a Student Union door, a vehicle turned on its side, and fires set in trash dumpsters and on wooden benches."

UPDATE

"UConn Facilities Operations crews were on campus overnight and into this morning to document and clean up the damage. The damage estimates are still being determined."

UPDATE

The spokesperson said UConn police are still investigating it all.

Chaos erupted at UConn's campus following the Huskies' national championship win on Monday night -- with the team's fans smashing windows, tearing down light poles ... and even lighting fires in the streets.

The hectic celebration in Storrs, Conn. happened just moments after the UConn men's basketball team completed its dominant NCAA tournament run by beating San Diego State in the final, 76-59.

Videos from the scene show fans were ruthless with property on and near UConn's campus ... with supporters at one point grabbing a huge pole and ramming it into a glass door over and over again until it completely broke free.

Other footage shows people lit fires that authorities had to deal with. Fans were also seen climbing light poles ... before ripping them down.

There was even an overturned car in a parking lot.

No word yet if any arrests were made -- a UConn spokesperson tells us they're still gathering information.

As for how the team celebrated the W in Houston, Texas ... it was far less disorderly. The guys soaked in the confetti -- before they cut down the nets.

There will ultimately be a party when the guys get back to campus -- but here's to hoping it features a whole lot less destruction.
