Adam Levine I'm Putting on a Golf Show!!!
Adam Levine is taking his talents to the green -- the Maroon 5 singer just landed a golf show and we're told he's FIRED UP about it!
We're told Levine locked up a deal with Top Golf to host a project for their digital platforms (website, app, social media, etc.) and it'll feature Levine hitting balls with some of his famous pals.
The show is being called "Teeing Off with Adam Levine" and production is expected to begin soon.
One thing you can probably expect ... a cameo from his smokin' hot model wife, Behati Prinsloo, who's got a reputation for being one of the best female celebrity golfers in Hollywood.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Tomi Lahren Sues Glenn Beck He Fired and Smeared Me for Being Pro-Choice
Tomi Lahren says her personal opinions became the trigger for a vendetta by the folks at TheBlaze where they literally put an X on her dressing room door and launched a public smear campaign against her, and that's why she just filed a lawsuit against her former employer.
The war started when Tomi appeared on "The View" and said she was pro-choice, which made members of the super-conservative website apoplectic.
She says Glenn Beck and company made her life hell, suspending her indefinitely and ultimately firing her.
Tomi has a contract with TheBlaze which lists grounds for termination, and the basis for her termination is not authorized by her deal.
The lawsuit says Beck and his company tried to ruin her career by "a clear attempt to embarrass, humiliate, and undermine [her] reach to her audience on social media and elsewhere."
As we reported, Tomi's been in a dogfight with TheBlaze over her Facebook account, which is 4.2 million strong. Tomi says she, not TheBlaze, owns it.
She goes on, "Beck is known for berating, belittling, and acting in a condescending and heavy-handed way and his treatment of [Tomi], in particular, is a case in point."
She's suing Beck and TheBlaze.
A rep for TheBlaze says, "It is puzzling than an employee who remains under contract (and is still being paid) has sued us for being fired, especially when we continue to comply fully with the terms of our agreement with her."

Morocco tells us, "I am deeply saddened by the recent reports and want to say I do not condone nor participate in any forms of violence. While this is an ongoing legal matter, I am unable to further comment. Thank you to my friends, family and fans for your continued support."

'Star Wars' Screenwriter Sues Tinder Date Over Disastrous Breakup
A big-time screenwriter is suing a woman he met on Tinder, claiming she was using an episode of "Entourage" as a template to ruin his life.
Derek Connolly, whose credits include the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode IX," as well as "Jurassic World" and "Kong: Skull Island," met a woman named Ada Hui last May on the dating app. They dated until late last month, and the breakup was super bad.
He says she exploded in a fit of rage, posting their text messages on Instagram and threatening to damage his career. Connolly says Hui even insinuated he was in harm's way.
Then it got really ugly. Connolly says she told him to drop off her stuff by a certain time, or else it would be "Entourage S7 E7," a reference to Season 7 Episode 7 titled "Tequila and Coke," in which Ari Gold was blackmailed.
He says she threatened to "gut" his identity and self-worth. He says she cautioned, "You won't see it coming" before it hits him "like a ton of bricks."
Connolly is suing for stalking and invasion of privacy. He also wants the judge to order her to stop.

Kendall Jenner Rosario Dawson Goes After Pepsi Ad She Once Mocked
Kendall Jenner's Pepsi ad is about 15 years too late and it totally misses the point, according to Rosario Dawson, who once used cola to mock soda companies that exploited social injustice.
Rosario starred in the Chemical Brothers' video for their 1999 song, "Out of Control" ... in which she plays a revolutionary heroine who makes peace with rioting police by sharing a soda.
The video was intended to be a satire on the U.S. advertising culture, which tries to get its hands into everything and anything where it can make money.
Rosario has seen Kendall's version, and responded this way ... "Eerily reminiscent of Chemical Brothers "Out of Control" vid we shot in Mexico City ~ 15 yrs ago sadly minus the point."

Nia Long I Love Taraji, But ... I Hate This Meter Man!
Seconds after Nia Long insisted she has NO beef with Taraji P. Henson, some fresh beef was served up ... on the windshield of her Porsche.
Nia was out in Bev Hills Tuesday with a throng of paps, including our guy who asked her how she and Taraji left things. She has a much different memory of the situation from others on the "Empire" set.
You gotta see the funny part of this though -- Nia escaping a jaywalking ticket, only to get nailed by the parking meter man. She tries to talk her way out of it.
Celebrity justice?

Kendall Jenner Backlash Begins Over Pepsi Protest Ad
Kendall Jenner's new Pepsi commercial -- in which she joins a protest or rally of some sort and then hands a cop a can of soda -- is being torn to shreds online.
The commercial's faced immediate backlash since being released on Tuesday, with many labeling it "tone-deaf," a "complete disaster" or much worse. It looks like Kendall solves racial tensions between cops and protester with a can of soda.
The spot is getting dragged partly because people are confused about what it's supposedly depicting, and partly because others simply despise it.
*kendall jenner hands cop a pepsi*
@BRANDONWARDELL
cop: im not racist anymore
@KrisJenner @KendallJenner @pepsi Protests are so in right now.

Mel B Begged Friends Not to Call Cops on Belafonte 'He'll Kill Me'
Mel B convinced close friends and family members not to tell police she was being beaten by Stephen Belafonte because she was afraid he would think she was behind it and kill her.
Multiple sources close to Mel B tell us ... a close circle of friends and family didn't believe her when she explained away various injuries, and when they confronted her, she had trouble hiding what she now says is the truth ... that she was being viciously attacked by Belafonte.
We're told some of the people who confronted her said they were going to call the cops and report him, but she became emotional and begged them to stand down, and not just because she was in fear for her life. She believed anyone who blew the whistle on Belafonte would become his target as well.
As we reported, people who were on various TV shows with Mel B were aware of a slew of injuries she suffered and they also saw Belafonte on the set and witnessed what some called his abusive and threatening behavior. Yet, as far as we can tell -- and this is consistent with her declaration -- no one from any show ever called the cops to report alleged domestic violence.

David Letterman Gives Colbert Props ... 'It Would Kill Me' to Do That Show
David Letterman's never looked so happy to NOT be hosting the 'Late Show,' and told us ... more power to Stephen Colbert for killing it in the ratings.
We got Dave and his massive beard out in NYC Monday -- he joked it's the first time he's been outside in a month, but by the looks of him it could be true. He let us in on his new daily grooming routine, and talked about his old late night stomping grounds.
You'd think he's missing it these days with all the Trump-related material that seems prime for a Top 10 list. Instead, he paid Colbert a nice compliment and made it clear he's thrilled to be doing nothing.
This is retirement done right.
