Ted Cruz XXX Twitter Scandal Official Account 'Likes' Hardcore Porn

Senator Ted Cruz is all about that hardcore threesome action -- at least, judging by his Twitter account which "liked" a very X-rated video late Monday night.

But here's the rub ... Cruz's spokesperson is strongly implying the Senator was hacked!!

The video in question was posted by the Twitter handle Sexuall Posts -- and featured a hot blonde lady diddling herself while secretly watching a man and a woman have sex. Good times.

Since "likes" are public -- someone noticed that Cruz's account had clicked the 'ol heart button for that particular post ... and it spread through social media like wildfire.

Particularly interesting considering Cruz is a hardcore religious conservative who once defended a Texas law which banned the sale of sex toys.

Cruz's Sr. Communications Adviser, Catherine Frazier, strongly insists the porn watcher ain't Cruz -- tweeting, "The offensive tweet posted on @Tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter."

So, careful everyone ... seems there might be someone out there hacking social media accounts and "liking" things they're not supposed to.

Tyson Beckford I Stayed for Irma to Help Family, Friends ... Haters Can Shove It

FAMILY FIRST
TMZ.com

Tyson Beckford hunkered down during Hurricane Irma solely to support, and potentially save, family and neighbors -- and he says anyone giving him crap for it should get their priorities straight.

Tyson tells TMZ ... ever since he posted a vid outside his Miami home -- in the middle of the storm -- haters have been blasting him for ignoring the evacuation order.

TB says a lot of those critics don't understand his family situation.

THE DAMAGE
TMZ.com

He made the rounds Monday in his jeep loaded with supplies, and says he's glad he stuck around for his community instead of jetting to NYC for Fashion Week events.

Usher Accuser I Have a Sex Tape with Him ... There's Surveillance Video, Too!

The woman publicly accusing Usher of exposing her to herpes claims she got the whole shebang on tape, and there's footage placing him at her hotel, too.

Quantasia Sharpton told YouTube vlogger Miss Jacob Kohinoor ... she filmed the alleged sex act with Usher, and the real shocker -- she claims the singer knew he was being recorded.

Quantasia also said her rep, celeb attorney Lisa Bloom, is attempting to subpoena hotel surveillance video which she claims shows Usher going to her hotel room in 2014.

As we reported ... an ex-hotel staffer claims she saw Usher walk into the Days Inn lobby in Atlantic City where she says Quantasia came down and took him up to her room a little after midnight. Usher's denied this, saying he couldn't have been there 'cause he was too busy falling in love with his now-wife ... plus, Quantasia isn't his type.

Joel Osteen 1st Sunday Service Since Backlash ... 'Let Me Clarify Some Things'

ADDRESSING THE MASSES
Joel Osteen Ministries

Joel Osteen was back to preaching the word of God Sunday after belatedly opening his megachurch to victims of Harvey flooding ... but not before clearing his name (again).

Joel's Sunday service at Lakewood Church -- the first since massive flooding in Houston and backlash he received for how he handled it -- was packed with thousands of worshipers, with the pastor taking a moment to re-explain the delay in opening his doors to evacuees.

As we reported ... Joel claims his megachurch was always open to the public, despite videos and eyewitnesses saying otherwise. He blamed internal flooding for the delay, and said a security company might've been responsible for turning people away.

After addressing the controversy, Osteen went on to say Harvey was part of a divine plan, with things like ... "God knew that Houston could handle the hurricane," and "Quit being upset by something you can handle," He added, "God is in control of the universe and what he has spoken over your life will come to pass."

We'll let Joel speak for himself here.

Corinne Olympios Reunited And It Feels So Fake!!!

THE OLD FLAME NEVER DIES
TMZ.com

Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson hooked up again -- literally -- and DeMario said something during the encounter that registered in a big way on our BS detector.

The "Bachelor in Paradise" stars were leaving Nightingale Wednesday night in L.A. where Corinne and DeMario were ALL OVER each other. She hugged, climbed and kissed him.

Listen closely as DeMario says, "My PR is gonna hate this in the morning."

As you know ... Corinne claimed she had no recollection of a sexual encounter she had with DeMario during 'BiP' filming, and that triggered a sexual assault investigation. Warner Bros. concluded she was lucid the entire time.

Blake Griffin & Kendall Jenner Double Date With Chandler Parsons & Hailey Baldwin

DOUBLING DOWN
TMZSports.com

If they're NOT dating by now ... they should be.

Blake Griffin and Kendall Jenner went out to a fancy romantic dinner AGAIN -- this time, they were joined by fellow NBA star Chandler Parsons and Hailey Baldwin.

Blake and Kendall left Craig's in L.A. together and got into a waiting car. Chandler followed shortly after. Hailey was definitely with the group ... but didn't want to be part of the mass exodus.

Chandler and Hailey have been spotted together in the past (sunbathing together in June) but insist they're not exclusively dating.

Blake and Kendall have been spending a lot of time together, too. But no official confirmation there either.

Bottom line -- four attractive, rich, famous people hanging out. What do YOU think is happening?

Caitlyn Jenner Chewed Out by Trans Woman Over Trump Support

TAKEN TO TASK
Ashlee Marie Preston

Caitlyn Jenner got ambushed and verbally assaulted by a trans woman at an LGBT event this weekend over her support for Donald Trump ... and the video's intense.

Caitlyn was attending a Trans Chorus of Los Angeles performance Saturday night at the L.A. LGBT Center when she was confronted by trans activist and journalist Ashlee Marie Preston.

In the video -- which Ashlee later posted to her Facebook -- she comes up to Caitlyn, who innocently goes in for a hug ... but then checks her and unleashes a tirade about what she claims is Caitlyn's continued support of Trump ... this 1 day after he officially authorized a trans ban in the military.

Caitlyn remains stoic and still for most of the lecturing, as friends around her try to defuse the situation. But then she tells Ashlee ... "You don't know me," which sets Ashlee off even more.

A little fact check ... Caitlyn isn't down with Trump anymore, despite recently being seen rocking his headgear.

Still, Ashlee doesn't seem to appreciate Caitlyn's presence here at all. That much she makes clear.

Selena Gomez & The Weeknd Hangin' On for Dear Life!!!

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are not only inseparable ... they're attached.

The couple squeezed in some grocery shopping Monday in L.A. and squeezed each other. They hit up a local organic market in the middle of the day.

The couple began dating right before Abel kicked off his huge world tour on the heels of his album, "Starboy," in January. He's on a break right now before the second leg begins in September and Selena's clearly got a tight grasp ... still.

Justin's clearly in her rear view.

American Airlines Hey Tommy Lee ... Bathroom Bangin' is AA-OK!!!

STUCK IN THE HEAD
TMZ.com

Tommy Lee won't be busted for possibly busting with his girlfriend in an American Airlines bathroom, because what the 2 did inside is nobody's business but theirs ... TMZ has learned.

Our American Airlines sources tell us ... there were no complaints filed with the company about Tommy and his gf Brittany Furlan joining the mile high club. We're told it's NOT against policy for 2 people to use the same lavatory at the same time ... and what they do in there is private.

Our sources say typically, when 2 people use the same bathroom, it's the elderly or someone who needs medical assistance ... but Tommy and Brittany both appeared to be in good health.

The rocker and his gf didn't create a disturbance on the short flight from Nassau to Miami, so we're told Tommy's off the hook -- he won't face a ban.

We reached out to a rep for American Airlines ... the company officially has no comment on this matter.

What's funny, though -- even though AA seems to be cool with Tommy and Brittany's hookup, she's not happy with them ... because she claims the airline lost their luggage.

Aaron Carter Brags About BJ's On Date with Porcelain Black

08/17/17
AARON'S PARTY
TMZ.com

Aaron Carter is a man who just came out as bisexual but is now in hot pursuit of women who will pleasure him.

The singer was leaving Delilah in WeHo Thursday night with fellow pop star Porcelain Black when he was mum on everything except oral sex.

ALL SHOOK UP
TMZ.com

Now the plot thickens ... we got Aaron earlier in the day at LAX, where he talked about a dalliance with a dude when he was 17 but, now that he's come out publicly, he's not in the market for men.

Try and connect the dots.

Floyd Mayweather No Sex Before McGregor Fight

NO FUN BEFORE THE FIGHT
TMZSports.com

Floyd Mayweather says he's putting business before pleasure -- and won't have sex before he fights Conor McGregor.

It's an old superstition that's been around the boxing game for years. You remember Mick from the 'Rocky' movies famously said, "Women weaken legs."

Floyd seems to agree. Conor McGregor has a different strategy.

"That is most certainly a superstition that I do not abide by," Conor told Conan O'Brien back in 2015 ... "I definitely have as much sex as possible."

So, to bang or not to bang? That is the question ...

Lexy Panterra I Didn't Betray Bella Thorne By Hooking Up with Gregg

Twerk Queen Lexy Panterra didn't break girl code by hooking up with Bella Thorne's ex, Gregg Sulkin, because the two gals are just "Hollywood kiss kiss" friends.

We broke the story ... Gregg and Lexy have started dating and were spotted out together for the first time in public doing a little shopping on Monday.

Bella and Lexy co-starred in the Tyler Perry flick, "Boo! A Madea Halloween," only a year ago ... when Bella was still dating Gregg.

But Lexy's peeps tell us Lexy and Bella never had a meaningful friendship. They haven't even talked over the summer. One source called them "Hollywood friends."

There's also this ... Bella's moved on and is on and off with Scott Disick, Blackbear and other guys so Gregg's in her rearview.

Usher Hooked Up with Accuser at Days Inn Hotel Staffer Claims

The woman who is suing Usher, alleging he hooked up with her at a hotel, is telling the truth ... so claims a woman who says she worked at the hotel.

Quantasia Sharpton appeared at a news conference with lawyer, Lisa Bloom, and said she was picked from the crowd at an Usher concert and invited backstage to meet the singer. She says one of Usher's people took her phone number, and the next thing she knew she got a call from him and he ended up at her hotel where they had sexual relations. She says he never told her he had genital herpes.

We found out the concert in question was in Atlantic City, New Jersey on November 15, 2014. Sharpton was at the concert -- we know that because we found this pic of her with August Alsina, Usher's opening act at the venue.

Notice she's wearing a birthday tiara. She says although she was at the show celebrating her birthday, the concert was held several weeks after she turned 19. That checks out ... her birthday is in late October.

Someone who says she worked at the Days Inn in Atlantic City -- less than a mile from the concert venue -- tells TMZ she saw Usher come into the lobby shortly after midnight on November 16. She says Sharpton came down, greeted the singer in the lobby and brought him to her room.

She says she asked Usher for a pic and he said he'd take one with her before leaving the hotel. She says she waited an hour but he never returned.

Sources connected with Quantasia say she did indeed stay at the Days Inn the night of the concert, and that is where she is claiming she had sex with Usher.

As we reported, sources connected to Usher told us the singer did not have sex with Sharpton because she wasn't his type. The woman who contacted us did so because she says she was offended by the comment.

We reached out to Usher's reps ... so far no comment.

Donald Trump First Communications Director Welcomes Love Child And His Wife is Down with It!

The man Donald Trump picked to be his communications director who mysteriously resigned before the inauguration has just had 2 babies ... but only one of them with his wife.

Jason Miller, the guy who was Trump's official mouthpiece during last year's presidential run, has fathered a baby with Trump loyalist/attorney/talking head A.J. Delgado.

Numerous reports surfaced after Miller resigned that he and Delgado had been having an affair for months, and the stories made news when Miller, Delgado and others partied at a Vegas strip club the night before one of the presidential debates.

Delgado didn't really keep it much of a secret after Miller's resignation, calling him, "the 2016 version of John Edwards."

Now get this ... Miller confirmed the birth of the child to Page Six, saying, "My wife and I, along with our two daughters, are excited to welcome William into the world and into our family, and we appreciate the well wishes we've received from so many" -- i.e., he says his wife is down with it!

For her part, in the last 12 hours A.J. has gone on a Twitter tirade railing on Miller, saying, "I'm not sure what Jason means that he and his wife are excited to welcome Will. Really? News to me. Let me shut up before I say more..."

But that was after A.J. went in on Page Six, claiming, "At least 5 wrong facts in your article. Really bizarre. And you never attempted to contact me by phone today. That's a lie."

Not to mention, before the article even broke she, without naming Miller as the father, tweeted, "The father did not/has not sent the child even a $1, or a single gift/item. I have had to pay for/cover everything myself. Cheers."

Congratulations?

Problem to Usher Hey, Usher Big Girls Need Lovin' Too!!!

MORE TO LOVE
TMZ.com

Usher needs to lighten up by doing the opposite of lightening up -- he needs to start dating big girls ... at least that how Problem sees it.

We got Problem Wednesday at LAX and he had a clear point of view -- Usher should not turn his back on babes who got back. As we reported, Usher claims he never slept with the woman who is suing him for allegedly exposing her to herpes ... the one who appeared at a news conference with attorney Lisa Bloom.

But as quickly as Problem admonished Usher, he trashed-talked big women, saying their chances increase the later it gets.

Miss BumBum 2017 Turns Beautiful Game Into Fantasstic Affair!!!

Miss BumBum 2017 contestants scored on each other ... and the entire planet cheered.

You know Brazil takes its fútbol seriously when part of the bootyful contest also means getting down and dirty on the pitch for some awesome girl-on-girl action. They kicked it. They banged it. They kneed it and they even put their asses into it ... literally.

This isn't the first time the potential award-winning asses had to strut their stuff. They marched for something Tuesday ... and we're still recovering from that ASSignment.
