Russell Wilson Yeah, I Saw 'Fifty Shades' It Doesn't Make Me a Heathen
Russell Wilson is on the defense -- claiming he's NOT a godless infidel ... just because he saw "Fifty Shades of Grey."
The outspokenly religious Seattle Seahawks QB has been under attack on social media Friday morning ... ever since he revealed that he went to a screening of the sexually charged S&M flick on Thursday.
Some of the comments directed at Wilson were harsh:
-- "I'm more than a little confused, Russell. I thought you professed to be a Christian.
-- "Really? I'm honestly not sure how you can quote bible verses all the time and then say this is a good movie..."
-- "Don't say you represent Christ, and the publicly endorse a moved filled with immorality and sexual violence."
-- "COME ON MAN!!! THAT MOVIE IS MORAL FILTH!!!"
Well, Russell heard the critics loud and clear ... and decided to respond with the following statement:
"Saw a movie filmed in the town I call home. Provocative/disturbing no doubt but that does not make me less Faithful. Have a blessed day!"
Then, Wilson doubled down ... saying his favorite movie of all time is "Scarface" ... the cocaine-centric gangster classic.
"Say goodnight to the bad guy ... "

Drake Puts Tyga on Blast For Relationship with Kylie
Drake has made it clear ... he's at war with Tyga ... calling out the 25-year-old very publicly for dating 17-year-old Kylie Jenner.
Drake dropped an album Thursday night and one of the cuts takes direct aim at Tyga. The lyric goes like this:
-- "Oh you tried, it's so childish calling my name on the world stage
You need to act your age and not your girl's age."
Tyga -- who recently did an interview and called Drake "fake" -- fired back "Drake u still a bitch. All that sneak dissing is weak. Just pull up. I know where u live and u know my address. U been ducking the fade from Brown."
The "fade from Brown" clearly relates to Drake's long-standing feud with Chris Brown over Rihanna and Karrueche.
Tyga deleted the tweet.

Robert Griffin III My Wife Is Pregnant ... And My Marriage Is Solid!!
There could be an RG4 in Robert Griffin's future -- because the NFL star just announced his wife is pregnant with their very first child!!
Griffin -- who's celebrating his 25th bday today -- made the announcement on Twitter ... posting one of those baby announcement photos along with a caption that reads:
"BIG thank you for making this birthday a special day!!! This year's gift will change our life forever!!! #BoyOrGirl"
The photo is interesting though ... considering his wife Rebecca seemed to make a point to include a shot of her ring finger with her big honkin' diamond on it.
It almost seems like she's making a statement about the state of her marriage ... after reports a while back suggested things may have been rocky at home.
Or maybe she just wanted to remind everyone she's got a baller diamond.
Either way ... congrats!!

Iggy Azalea Puts Papa John's Drivers on Blast They're Pizzas of Crap!!
Iggy Azalea says her pizza privacy has been violated by a Papa John's driver ... and now she's on the digital attack looking for vengeance.
Azalea tweeted Sunday about a recent pie order gone awry ... writing, "Papa John's was my favorite pizza but the drivers they use give out your personal phone number to their family members."
The rapper claims she asked her driver's supervisor for pictures of the guy so she could identify who gave out her number ... but his boss refused. So she BLASTED the company online.
Iggy even included a screen grab of one of the text messages she received from the driver's brother.
We reached out to a rep for Papa John's. So far, no word back.
Guess Iggy likes beef with other rappers AND on her pizza.
'50 Shades' Star Hey Ladies ... I'm REALLY Flexible
Welcome to the gun show ... "50 Shades of Grey" star Jamie Dornan proved his body is definitely hard core enough to play Christian Grey.
Dornan's muscles look like they are about to explode in this impressive pic of him balancing his entire body weight on a workout bench. He says he held the pose for about 2 secs before collapsing in tears. We doubt that.
If '50 Shades' fans were worried JD wasn't hot enough to pull off the role ... they ain't worried any more.
We aim to please, Miss Steele ...

Kenya Moore Vivica Fox Is Crazy I Didn't Steal Her Phone
"Celebrity Apprentice" star Kenya Moore says Vivica A. Fox is off her rocker if she actually believes Moore hacked her cell phone while taping Monday night's episode.
Fox and Moore got into an epic boardroom blowout after Fox blasted her for swiping her phone and tweeting ridiculous things about menopause -- but Moore tells TMZ it's nothing but lies and accusations.
Moore says there's zero proof she hijacked the phone, and if she could, she'd be working for the CIA.
Sources close to the show say a ton of interns were on set, and would have had plenty of opportunity to grab the phone ... so, it's possible Kenya's innocent.
The conspiracy was never cleared up on the show ... since Trump fired Kenya.
Fox kept chirping about the allegedly stolen phone, but Moore insists ... unless Vivica's got proof she needs to shut her trap.

"Harry Potter" star Robbie Coltrane got off a plane Thursday and was immediately hospitalized after suffering severe flu-like symptoms during the flight ... TMZ has learned.
A rep for Coltrane -- who played Rubeus Hagrid -- tells us the actor fell ill during a British Airways flight from London to Orlando.
We're told paramedics met Coltrane at the gate, and took him to the hospital ... where he'll remain overnight for treatment.
Coltrane went to Orlando for a Harry Potter convention ... and we're told Michael Gambon -- who played Dumbledore -- was on the same flight.
Someone on Twitter claims Coltrane was drinking heavily in a London airport lounge before the flight. If it's true, we don't know yet if that contributed to his illness.

Taylor Swift Hackers Threaten to Release Nudes
11:20 AM PT -- Swift just addressed the hack, tweeting, "PS any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING."
Taylor Swift's social media was taken over by hardcore hackers who are now threatening to release nude pics of Taylor.
Multiple tweets went out from Swift's account this morning ... telling her 51.4 M followers to follow @lizzard and @veriuser -- both of whom claim to have ties to a group of hackers called the Lizard Squad. The messages were also posted on her Instagram account.
The Lizard Squad claims to have hacked major gaming systems -- such as Sony PlayStation and Xbox Live -- last year. They also claim to be behind Monday's Facebook and Instagram outage.
Now, the hackers say they're planning to post naked shots of Taylor.
Swift used her Tumblr page to inform fans she'd been hacked -- and Twitter has shut down the alleged hackers' accounts.

Blake Shelton I Don't Have to See 'American Sniper' To Blast Celebs Attacking It
Blake Shelton has no problem defending "American Sniper" and ripping celebs who trash it, even though he hasn't even seen the movie!
Shelton was leaving 30 Rock (probably after his "Saturday Night Live" rehearsal) when he told us ... he was defending the military, not the movie itself, when he tweeted, "Sickens me to see celebrities or anybody slam the very people who protect their right to talk sh*t.. #truecowards"
Shelton admitted this week he might have been drunk tweeting ... but tells us he does plan to see the movie soon.
Kid Rock also went on the attack against Seth Rogen and Michael Moore, for their 'Sniper' criticisms -- writing on his website, "F*** you Michael Moore, you’re a piece of s*** and your uncle would be ashamed of you. Seth Rogen, your uncle probably molested you. I hope both of you catch a fist to the face soon."
Unclear if Kid was drinking, but chances are ...

Scott Disick Turning Over a New Leaf ... For a Price
Scott Disick finally may be ready to get sober and clean up his act in the name of family ... but you better believe he's gonna make a buck off of it.
Disick (or more likely his assistant) posted an obviously-sponsored tweet Monday, writing, "It's 2015, get up! Perfect start to the year. My @BooteaUK teatox from Bootea.com. Time for a cleanse!"
Considering Disick's recent bender in Aspen just a month after baby mama Kourtney Kardashian gave birth ... you have to wonder if it's too little too late.

Justin Bieber Campaigning for NBA Player to Make All-Star Team
Justin Bieber is hoping his 60 MILLION twitter followers can make a dent in NBA All-Star voting ... and he's putting his weight behind a guy who plays in Canada.
Bieber is pushing for Kyle Lowry -- a point guard for the Toronto Raptors who's having a pretty good season ... and is currently 3rd in the All-Star voting behind John Wall and Dwyane Wade.
The Canadian pop star tweeted, "Toronto has been killin it and @Klow7 deserves to be an nba all star. Make sure to vote for him. #WeTheNorth. Good luck buddy."
The All-Star game "starters" are chosen based on fan voting -- so if Bieber can mobilize his army, there's a good chance Lowry can leapfrog the other two guys in the Eastern Conference backcourt.
Stay tuned ...

Chickadee Signs First Promotional Deal I'm Making LiLo Money!
Chickadee can stop hawking snake oil ... the former reality star has landed a legit money-making deal sorta -- getting paid to tweet like other big celebs.
We've learned Anna Cardwell signed a deal with 310 Shakes to send out promotional tweets for its product ... similar to deals brokered for Lindsay Lohan, JWoww and Kyle Richards.
We're told Lindsay is paid around 5K to tweet for the company ... but it's unclear how much scratch Chickadee is getting.
Calls to Anna's rep went unreturned.

Chris Brown Shuts Down Porn Star Who Posted Junk Pics
Chris Brown doesn't want his junk -- or even his alleged junk -- spread all over the Internet ... so he had his legal team shut down the Twitter page of a porn star who tried to do just that.
Kagney Linn Karter went on a Twitter assault a few days back aimed at CB ... claiming he paid her $2,500 to be his escort. Kagney says CB thought the deal included sex, and when she refused to sleep with him he began bullying her online.
Karter responded with a series of angry tweets, saying things like, "I WILL NEVER F*** A WOMAN BEATER EW DISGUSTING" and "HE IS PURE EVIL :(."
But the tweet de résistance came when she posted photos of a penis which she says was attached to Brown, writing, "i can slap bitches now with chris browns d*** on my timeline all day say some SLICK S*** **pulls out CBs d*** WHAP." Poetry, ain't it?
But the pic and all the Brown tweets are now gone -- as well as everything she tweeted -- because our sources say CB's legal team got her Twitter account suspended.
Twitter policy doesn't bar all nudity, but it draws the line when a user violates someone else's privacy with graphic pics.
Perhaps this is what CB meant all along when he said ... these hoes ain't loyal.

NFL Threatens Businesses Over Social Media Pics There's a 6-Player Limit
The days of using NFL players to promote your products for free on social media are over – so says the NFL which is now warning businesses, if they post pictures of 6 or more players using their products on social media … they better pay up!
TMZ Sports has obtained a letter sent by the league to Orefici Watches ... demanding the company immediately stop posting pictures of NFL stars wearing their jewelry on its various websites and social media pages.
But the explanation is the interesting part -- in the letter, the NFL says the league "has the exclusive right to license the names, likenesses, images" and more of nearly all NFL players for commercial products and promotions involving six or more players.
The NFL demanded Orefici remove the images ASAP or else it would take further legal action against the company. We're told Orefici complied.
FYI -- after the company received the letter, DeMarco Murray contacted the company and bought 22 watches for various teammates ... though pics of the players sporting the watches are noticeably absent from Orefici's social media.

Charlie Sheen Bizarre 'Suk Me More Men' Twitter Rant
Charlie Sheen went on a rant early Thursday AM, this time apparently mocking "Two and a Half Men" ... and it seems like it all has to do with drama surrounding the final episode.
In a bizarre, hard-to-understand diatribe, Charlie seemed to use his former show's theme song to express his displeasure:
men men men
men - men me suck,
gotta suk me more men before they suk me more men
It's impossible to figure out exactly what he's saying ... he tried to use TwitLonger to better explain himself, but the link leads to a post with even LESS text.
Deciphering this is next to impossible -- but a likely theory is that Charlie wanted to be included on the finale show, but Chuck Lorre may not have extended an invite.
Charlie may try to clarify later, but we're guessing it could only get more confusing.

Charlie to Kim K 'Go F Yourself' And Your Ass is 'Gross' and 'Giggly'
Charlie Sheen went on a wild rant against Kim Kardashian in the wee hours Tuesday morning, telling her to go "f yourself" for allegedly crushing a little girl's dream.
Charlie says a friend told him about a 6-year-old girl who worshiped Kim and asked her for her autograph. Charlie says Kim turned the kid down flat, adding, "She cries about it every night before she goes to sleep."
And that's when he goes off: "you are lucky that ANYONE cares about your gross and giggly [sic] bag of funk you dare call an ass."
He dares her to compare resumes with him, and then says, "your public loves u. give something back or go f yourself."
His parting shot, "My apologies to your hubby, great guy I'm sure, I hope his vision returns one day."
He signs it "c." Not even a "sincerely."
Sheen deleted the post a short while later.
11:30 AM PT -- Charlie has now apologized.
