Tyga Future Can Have All My Chynese Leftovers
Tyga is cool with Future banging his baby mama ... because he's got an 18-year-old waiting for him at home.
There were rumblings of a feud between Tyga and Future. The two collaborated on a hit record -- "Show You" -- and they're friendly, so on the surface it would seem Future violated the bro code by taking down Blac Chyna.
But our Tyga sources say he's made it clear he gives "zero f***s" about Future's relationship with Chyna. He's in hook, line and sinker with Kylie and that's the only woman he cares about.
In fact, we're told he's open to collaborating with Future on another song ... which just makes him not stupid.
Chyna has moved on too ... so says her hand.

It's not Mathew's first run-in with the IRS ... the grand total has now swelled to more than $1.4 mil.
Sometimes teachers need to take a lesson from themselves.

T.I.'s Wife Tiny My Man Is Sexist ... Sometimes
T.I.'s wife says her husband is old fashioned, and yes ... sometimes sexist when it comes to recognizing the capabilities of women.
Tiny was leaving LAX Tuesday when we asked her about T.I. dissing Hillary Clinton ... saying he'd never vote for a female president, because women are too emotional and make rash decisions.
Watch how Tiny tried like hell to support her man, and even shouldered a bit of the blame for his misogynist comments -- claiming T.I. just has a "take care of women" mentality.
But ultimately, Tiny said there's a new sheriff in town ... and her name ain't Tip.

Anne Hathaway likes her eggs just so, and God help the chef who goes astray.
Hathaway was on the Paramount lot last week shooting a Japanese commercial when she ordered breakfast -- a poached egg, along with an English muffin and avocado.
The guys catering the shoot were going crazy, because she sent the dish back 4 TIMES!!
1st try: Poached egg too runny.
2nd try: English muffin was cold because it sat while egg #2 was being poached.
3rd try: Egg #2 cold because it sat while chef toasted muffin #2.
4th try: Egg, muffin and avocado were perfect, but it took so long she decided she was in the mood for a fried egg.
She's totally ovo it.

Justin Bieber Nude Pics Not THAT Bad ... 'Cause I'm That Big
Justin Bieber's lawyers are barking about three nude pics taken of him on vacation in Bora Bora, but we know Justin isn't all that pissed because the shots show just how ... GIFTED he is.
Multiple sources close to Bieber tell TMZ he was upset paparazzi, armed with telephoto lenses, snapped the photos of him butt (and other parts) naked frolicking with Jayde Pierce. We're told he thought it was a total invasion of his privacy.
We saw it the same way, and decided NOT to post the images. But our sources say Justin's anger faded when the pics went viral ... for one seemingly larger than average reason: Bieber's a really big deal, and we're told he's happy the world knows it now.
As we reported, JB's lawyers threatened media outlets that published the pics. We're told his legal team was just doing its job ... sending the message that Justin's not okay with the violation.
But reality is, there's almost zero chance Justin sues ... 'cause as they say, size matters.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner What Saddens Me Most About Cosby Scandal ... The Show's Legacy
Malcolm-Jamal Warner weirdly groused his greatest sorrow over the Bill Cosby sex scandal is the legacy of the show.
Warner said in an interview, "My biggest concern is when it comes to images of people of color on television and film, no matter what ... negative stereotypes of people of color, we've always had "The Cosby Show" to hold up against that. And the fact that we no longer have that, that's the thing that saddens me most because in a few generations the Huxtables will have been just a fairy tale."
He did say he felt sorry for the women whom Cosby allegedly victimized. But his overriding concern seems to be the show.
Different strokes ...
