Weird News

Gwen Stefani's trying like hell, for some reason, to make it seem like she's not dating Blake Shelton -- even though she clearly is.

Gwen was on San Diego's Channel 933 'Frankie and Geena Morning Show' Tuesday, and they asked if her new album featured any songs about her "new relationship." Surprisingly, Gwen responds by saying, "I never said nothing about being in a new relationship."

She added that her kids are now asking about Blake, and she doesn't sound cool with it.

Thing is ... it was indeed Gwen's team that confirmed they're dating -- and, of course, she and Blake were holding hands at a party in Nashville last week.

Maybe Gwen sees a diff between "dating" and "relationship."

R. Kelly laid down a mind-blowing live performance ... for a dude in a Las Vegas sauna, and the video is freakin' amazing!

R. was kicking it in the sauna at a 24 Hour Fitness in Vegas last weekend. When he first walked in, naturally ... someone asked, "Are you R. Kelly?"

Kelly -- who, oddly, was fully clothed in the sauna -- didn't admit it was him, but instead said he could sing like R. Kelly. Then he just started belting out "Bump N' Grind." Best (non-porn) sauna video ever!!!

Hipster Barbie --- who took Instagram by storm -- died Wednesday after 22 weeks on the social media app.

The account's owner, Darby Cisneros, finally revealed herself and declared she is shutting down the account after becoming an overnight sensation and gaining more than 1.3 million followers.

Cisneros tells us she never intended for it to be a long term project and started it as a simple way to mock hipsters. Ironically, Hipster Barbie went mainstream. Totally not hipster.

She says she got offers from big companies to do promos, but naturally turned them all down. Totally hipster.

Cisneros thinks this is the perfect time to shut it down because HB is still relevant.

Lo and behold the Wheel of Blame ... created by the producers of "Grace and Frankie" who got tired of hearing excuses every time production got postponed and created a literal blame game.

The wheel is hilarious, asking the token question heard on sets, "What's taking so long?" Possible culprits include ... "Camera," "Sound," "Catering" and "The actors," which include Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Martin Sheen. "Obama In Town," "Global Warming" and "Donald Trump" are also included in the excuses.

We're told the show's creator, Marta Kauffman, had the art department make it, and even include her name on the board. However, they keenly omitted themselves on the first one, so Kauffman ordered another be made.

Michael Jackson's physician and dear friend Dr. Arnold Klein's body remains on ice at the coroner's office because no family members have come forward to claim it.

It's kinda sad, but sources who were close to Klein tell us his closest relatives are unable to get his body. We're told he has 2 living brothers: one is mentally challenged ... the other is bankrupt and unable to fly to Palm Springs.

Klein also has an aunt who is, as one source put it, "out of it" ... and doesn't understand what's happening around her.

TMZ broke the story ... Dr. Klein died last week after suffering severe abdominal pains. If no family members retrieve the body, the county would have to approve a friend to do it.

Mike Ditka might wanna check for holes in his undies this morning ... 'cause it sounded like he RIPPED A GALE FORCE STINKER right on Cris Carter last night.

The two were doing their thing on ESPN's "Monday Night Countdown" when Da Coach pulled the 'ol fart lean move -- and you can hear what sounds like Ditka just letting one rip.

Carter starts to crack up ... the whole thing is pretty funny.

Don't worry Mike -- you're not the only legend who's been caught farting on live TV ... right Whoopi?

Soulja Boy insists his "I'm going to die soon" Snapchat message was not about committing suicide -- it's just that he's lived a full, kick-ass life already ... at 25.

SB was on TMZ Live Friday to clear the air about the troubling social media post ... which caused a a lot of panic among his fans. Soulja thinks people misunderstood him, even though his comment was pretty direct.

Check out his explanation ... sounds like he's struggling with the downside of success and fame.

Music mogul Jimmy Iovine and ex-wife Vicki got hit up for $50 grand from their son ... or at least an obsessed fan who seems to think he's their son.

According to docs, Devante Nevels flooded Vicki's email, cell phone and social media with annoying messages. One in particular ... "Mom can you call me Im going to jail tomorrow for 15 days, Hopefully I get out Idk."

Nevels also attempted to dip into the Iovine family fortune by asking for $50,000 ... but at least it was a loan. We're sure Nevels -- whose Facebook alias is Jameslong Changelong -- is totally good for it.

Vicki reported Nevels to the LAPD ... which eventually got a search warrant for Nevels' Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Law enforcement sources tell us Nevels was not arrested though, because the messages didn't meet the criminal criteria for harassment. Translation: At this point, he's annoying as hell, but not dangerous.

What's cuter than a pudgy pug riding on the back of a kid's mini-motorcycle? The tiny pup riding behind him, who can't quite stay on.

2:25 PM PT -- Jenny deleted the post from her Instagram. Guess it wasn't intentional, after all.

Jason Biggs and his wife got photobombed ... by deez. Deez who, you say?

Deez nuts!!

Yes, Jason's family jewels were exposed when Jenny Mollen cleverly snapped a selfie of herself in the mirror -- and Jason squatting on a toilet.

Seems clear they planned out the shot for laughs ... Jenny captioned the pic, "Is this a cute sweater?" What's unclear is if the "American Pie" star's sack reveal was intentional.

For some reason these lyrics come to mind -- "Swing low, sweet chariot ... "

If you thought one rat dragging a slice of pizza around the streets of New York City was fun, wait until you watch this video of two rats fighting over a slice on the subway tracks.

No one wants a piece of Farrah Abraham and the proof is in the sales of her DNA ... at least according to a rep for a company that just fired her.

Celebrity Gene put Farrah's liquified DNA inside a necklace and put it on the market four months ago with part of the proceeds going to charity, but claims NOT ONE PERSON purchased the stuff.

We obtained the scathing letter CG's publicity company, ZTPR, fired off severing ties with the "Backdoor Teen Mom." It says Farrah "would much rather talk about your female body parts in order to generate more profits for yourself" rather than charity.

Translation: Farrah promotes the hell out of sex toys (molded from her body parts), but does nothing to promote the DNA necklace.

Por ejemplo ... the PR co. couldn't resist referencing this classic from Farrah: "Another one of my absolute favorites is my full on vibrating p***y and ass molded from my very own body." Classy.

Moving forward, CG says it's cutting all ties with Farrah. Instead, ALL future profits will go to the charity she chose, Operation Underground Railroad.

Now if only someone would buy one of these things.

"American Horror Story: Hotel" has drawn hordes of fans to the real hotel on which the show is based.

'AHS' die-hards are flocking to Stay on Main hotel in downtown L.A. ... the site of a grisly death in 2013 when it was called the Cecil Hotel.

Elisa Lam was found dead in the hotel's water tank after the hotel received complaints the water tasted funny. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning, but after LAPD released elevator video of Elisa's erratic behavior, stories began surfacing she was possessed and the hotel was haunted.

We're told the barrage of 'AHS' promos featuring Lady Gaga have sent fans into a frenzy ... people are lining up to stay in Elisa's room and poke around the water tank. As for the room, they're out of luck ... it's off limits.

Ryan Murphy has said his inspiration for the new season of 'AHS' -- premiering Wednesday night -- is Lam's story.

We're told security is on alert for people daring to conduct paranormal investigations.

Charlize Theron's alleged stalker can sleep easy on a bed of roses tonight ... the District Attorney has declined to charge him.

We're told the decision on Tuesday to drop charges was made based on a lack of evidence Stanislav Sonseadec intended to place Charlize in any danger.

According to the D.A's rejection docs,Theron's assistant asked Sonseadec several times to leave the property before calling the cops. But law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sonseadec is Russian and there may have been a language barrier that made it hard for him to understand he was unwelcome.

TMZ broke the story ... cops were called to the actresses' house Sunday after a man with flowers for her refused to leave.

She loves me ... she loves me not.

Penn Jillette might just have the perfect buyers for his Las Vegas mansion and the new residents are all high ... in cholesterol.

The United Church of Bacon, a group of more than 12,000 religious skeptics and atheists has its collective eyes set on the 7,500 square foot pad. We're told they'll use the place for community meetings, weddings and for plain old, "having fun."

As for the home, which Jillette nicknamed "The Slammer," it sits on 8.5 acres and features a lap pool, catwalks connecting different wings of the house and even a fire pole from one level to the floor.

The church's central tenet is that bacon is real ... it's proven to exist. The church's money better be real too ... the home is listed at more than $2 million.

That moment you learn when your celebrity crush -- in this case, Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine -- is happily married.
