Nicole Eggert Files Police Report Against Scott Baio Alleging Sexual Assault

Published | Updated

Nicole Eggert took Scott Baio up on his challenge and filed a police report, claiming he sexually abused her when she was a minor ... TMZ has learned.

We've learned detectives from LAPD's Sexual Assault Section interviewed Eggert Tuesday morning at the offices of her attorney, Lisa Bloom. We're told 2 detectives spent 2 hours as Eggert detailed her allegations ... that Baio molested her when she was 14, 15 and 16 while they filmed "Charles In Charge" -- something Baio strongly denies.

We're told Eggert repeated her claim that Baio had sexual intercourse with her when she was 17. Baio says he had sex with her one time, but only when she was 18.

We've also learned actor Alexander Polinsky, who played Adam Powell on the show, accompanied Eggert and told detectives he witnessed some of the alleged abuse. Bloom also provided detectives with a list of witnesses who claim they observed inappropriate behavior by Baio toward Eggert.

Our Eggert sources say detectives told her they would fully investigate and attempt to interview Baio.

Eggert says the alleged abuse occurred between 1986 and 1990, so there's a question as to whether the statute of limitations has run out.

Baio's rep tells TMZ, "We've been demanding since last year that Nicole Eggert bring her story to the authorities. It's good that she finally has, even if it's part of a publicity campaign. Perhaps she can explain to them her ever-changing story."

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Baby Girl's Name Is Stormi!!!

Published | Updated

7:00 PM PT -- Kylie's edited her baby name announcement ... it now says "stormi webster." As we said earlier, Travis Scott's real last name is Webster.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott named their daughter Stormi ... according to Mom.

Kylie just posted the name on her social media. As we reported, Kylie's kiddo was born last Thursday at 4:43 PM weighing in at 8 lbs. and 9 oz.

Kylie announced Stormi's birth on Sunday, a couple hours before the Super Bowl. She also posted a video recapping the pregnancy she'd kept under wraps for 9 months.

Stormi arrived at Cedars-Sinai in L.A., the same hospital where sisters Kim and Kourtney delivered their kiddos. Rob's daughter, Dream, was also born there.

Tristan, Travis and Scott No Written Custody Deal with the Kardashians

Published | Updated

Three Kardashian baby daddies are all taking a leap of faith ... that their baby mamas will give them proper custody and/or visitation without the benefit of a custody agreement.

Sources connected to all three men tell TMZ, they never papered their financial and custodial arrangements. We're told Travis Scott and Kylie don't have anything in writing regarding custody or support of their newborn daughter. Same goes for Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian, although that may be a bit premature since she hasn't given birth.

More interesting, perhaps, is that we're told Scott Disick doesn't have a written custody agreement with Kourtney Kardashian. They have 3 kids and from what we hear, the only conflict involves Scott's sobriety.

They have the option at any time of trying to ink a custody arrangement or going to court for one if they can't do it on their own.

As for Kanye and Kim ... no need for any agreement since they're hitched.

Republic Records' Charlie Walk Alleged Extortionist Threatened Me ... Resign Or I'll F*** You Up!!!

Published | Updated

Republic Records honcho and 'The Four' judge Charlie Walk claims he was being extorted before an ex-employee accused him of sexual misconduct, and says he has a voicemail to prove it.

TMZ has obtained a voicemail a source close to Charlie claims was left by radio exec Tom Gilligan. The caller, who sounds drunk, offers Charlie a "deal" -- resign from 'The Four' and Republic and "nobody will ever say anything." He claimed Walk hired hookers, and 3 women were ready to go public as part of the #MeToo movement.

Gilligan tells us he doesn't recall leaving a voicemail for Walk, but does acknowledge he was drunk and upset with him around the same time. He claims Charlie had ignored his request to set up a meet-and-greet with Jon Bon Jovi.

Although the message was left about a month before Tristan Coopersmith went public with allegations against Walk -- Gilligan insists he has nothing to do with her or an extortion plot. As we reported ... Walk pulled out of 'The Four' finale, airing this week.

Walk's attorney, Duncan Levin, says they've filed a complaint about Gilligan with the Manhattan D.A.'s office and submitted the voicemail as evidence.

Kourtney Kardashian Keeps Her Cool on Thin Ice

Published | Updated

Kourtney Kardashian was holding on to her dear life in NYC ... her dear life named Penelope.

Kourtney's mommy & me day with Penelope in Central Park Sunday also included North West. They skated to "Redbone" by Childish Gambino and then took a walk under some light rain. It was quite the escape from L.A. where it was a steamy 81 degrees.

Kourtney's really getting the hang of this ice skating thing. But more than that, she's totally nailing the part of kool mommy and fun auntie.

Natalee Holloway Mother Sues Oxygen You Tricked Me Into Giving DNA for Phony Show

Published | Updated

4:20 PM PST -- Oxygen sent over this statement:

“We were disappointed to learn of the complaint and its inaccurate depiction of how the series was produced, and we want to reiterate our deep compassion and sympathy for all members of the Holloway family. The documentary series was developed by a production company in close collaboration with Dave Holloway and his long-time private investigator. The show followed his continued search to find answers about his daughter Natalee from a lead he had received. We had hoped, along with Mr. Holloway, that the information was going to provide closure.”

Natalee Holloway's mom is suing Oxygen Media, claiming they duped her into providing a sample of her DNA under the false claim they had discovered what they believed were her daughter's remains.

Elizabeth Ann Holloway says in the lawsuit, Oxygen set out to do a 6-part docuseries on Natalee's 2005 disappearance. The premise was that the network had new evidence concerning her disappearance. Elizabeth says she was told they found human female remains that could be her daughter's.

Elizabeth says Oxygen lied to her ... no such remains were ever found. She says she was horribly embarrassed and never would have provided her DNA or participated in the show had she known the truth.

She's also suing on behalf of her daughter using a legal theory called "outrage." She says the series was not legit ... rather it was a "pre-planned farce."

'Black Panther' Star Pay Attention, Hollywood It Doesn't Have to Be 'All White'

Published | Updated

"Black Panther" isn't just going to smash box office records, it's going to put Hollywood on notice about what kind of movies it should be making ... according to Sydelle Noel, who plays Xoliswa in the flick.

We got Sydelle -- who also stars in "GLOW" -- on Sunset Blvd. and asked how she's feeling about the extraordinary 'BP' buzz. In a word ... it's "amazing."

Sydelle was totally geeked about the movie's cultural importance -- but also about it being a game changer. The takeaway for studio execs, she hopes ... #HollywoodNotSoWhite.

'BP' comes out February 16, but get your tickets now ... they're already selling out.

Kim Cattrall Missing Brother Found Dead

Published | Updated

1:12 PM PT -- Kim just announced that her missing brother, Christopher Cattrall, has died. She called his death "unexpected" but didn't elaborate beyond that.

Kim Cattrall is begging for help in locating her brother, who went missing Tuesday.

Kim posted a desperate plea on social media for anyone having information about Christopher Cattrall, who disappeared from his home in Alberta, Canada.

The circumstances sound suspicious. 55-year-old Christopher had 7 beloved dogs at home, and she says he would never leave them in an unlocked house. His keys, cellphone and wallet were also left in his home.

She ends with this ... "Help us bring him home safe. Please spread the word."

'America's Got Talent' Fed up with Mel B Eyeing Queen Latifah!!!

Published | Updated

Mel B's become a major thorn in the side of "America's Got Talent" producers, who now want to kick her to the curb ... and Queen Latifah's their first option to replace her.

'AGT' production sources tell TMZ ... Mel's been butting heads with people on set and producers think she comes with too much "baggage" for the amount of money the Spice Girl's getting paid. We're told the situation worsened while Mel was enmeshed in her intense divorce from Stephen Belafonte.

You'll recall ... she's feuded on camera with Simon Cowell ... tossing a drink at him, but we're told there's been even more tension behind the scenes.

We're told producers wanna replace Mel with Queen Latifah by next season. One potential hurdle is the fact QL's under contract with the FOX series, "Star."

'AGT' judge auditions begin in 5 weeks -- so, time ain't exactly on their side.

So far, no suspects.

The good news ... she looked awesome anyway.

50 Cent I'll Die Tryin' To Lock Down My Shows

Published | Updated

50 Cent is in the process of locking down some of his most popular musical titles in hopes of bringing them to TV.

50's made a move to own television trademarks for "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" -- his debut album in 2003 -- and "Hustler's Ambition" -- a 2005 single. The rapper is also looking to lock down apparel for Hustler's Ambition, including t-shirts, hoodies and raincoats.

50's been no stranger to TV ... his show, "Power," has had massive success and he recently inked an 8-figure deal with Starz for future projects on the network.

If we had to guess, these trademarks are a hint of what's to come next.

13 REASONS TO ROCK OUT

Dylan Minnette -- best known for his role as Clay on the hit Netflix show "13 Reasons Why" -- is pretty much the opposite of his character in real life ... at least when he's jamming on stage.

The 21-year-old actor is also a musician, and his band, Wallows, performed at the El Rey Theatre in L.A. Friday night. Check out Clay -- er, Dylan -- shredding on guitar and singing his heart out.

He even throws in some head banging.

If you're not a '13 Reasons' fan, you might recognize Dylan from a few other hit shows -- like "Scandal" or "Lost" -- or movies like "Don't Breathe" and "Goosebumps."

Or maybe you've seen him rock before ... he's actually been playing for years!

I GOT AMBUSHED!

Anthony Scaramucci WENT OFF on Republican big wig David Frum, calling him a liar, and that's just for starters.

We got The Mooch at Craig's Friday night after he shot an episode of Bill Maher's show, where Frum suggested Scaramucci was involved in a shady business deal.

You gotta listen to the clip. Scaramucci says Frum suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and then expresses sympathy for Frum's wife and children.

The funny thing ... Bill Maher was totally bored by the confrontation during the show.

Blac Chyna Kim Mean Girl'd Me With Her Valentine 'Gift'

THE STONEWALL OF CHYNA

Blac Chyna's firing off a Valentine's Day message for her almost sister-in-law Kim Kardashian -- don't be cruel!

Sources close to Chyna tell TMZ ... she's pissed about the "gift" she received the other day from Kim. As we first reported, KK sent a bunch of giant chocolate hearts -- with her new perfume inside -- to dozens of friends, loved ones ... and haters.

We'll give you one guess which list Blac Chyna made.

While she was tight-lipped Thursday at LAX when we asked about Kim's chocolate heart ... we're told BC considers Kim a "very cruel, huge bully" who's using "Mean Girls" tactics to promote her product.

Our sources say she's surprised Kim would do this, since she's Dream's aunt. She also disagrees with the "hater" label because she says she's never tried to tarnish Kim's image.

There's that little matter of attempting to sue Kim for getting "Rob and Chyna" canceled -- but who's counting?

Kevin Hart Watch Out for That Train!!!

Published | Updated

Kevin Hart pulled a great escape Friday ... narrowly dodging a passenger train!

For one scary second, it looked like Kev might become the first casualty of the Super Bowl LII events in and around Minneapolis. We got him leaving Cowboy Jack's in downtown, and started talking about the "Martin" reboot. Kevin was so excited to talk about it ... neither he, nor our photog, noticed the light rail train coming down the tracks.

Watch his security team spring into action, but really ... you gotta watch for the look on Kevin's face when he hears the train's horn sound.

Happy to report, crisis averted.
