You Might Want to Rethink

Kim Kardashian just unloaded on Taylor Swift, posting audio of a conversation Kanye West secretly recorded in which he reads some of the lyrics of "Famous" to Taylor -- in particular having sex with her -- and she calls it a "compliment."

As you know Taylor went ballistic after Kanye said he got her approval to record the lyrics in the song. She says she never gave permission and called it "misogynistic."

But the tape says otherwise. Our sources say Taylor has threatened Kanye over releasing the tape, claiming it's illegal. But the Kardashians decided to put it out there.

One thing in Taylor's favor. We've learned at no point in the conversation did Kanye say to Taylor he would refer to her as "bitch." As you know, in the song, he says, "I made that bitch famous."

9:30 PM PT -- Taylor is pissed. She says Kim and Kanye are committing "character assassination," because they're making it seem like she lied when -- as we reported -- the truth is Kanye NEVER mentioned the "that bitch" line.

Taylor posted a scathing message ... "You don't get to control someone's emotional response to being called "that bitch" in front of the entire world."

CM Punk doesn't deserve to be in the UFC -- and will likely get his ass beat in his UFC debut because he's not a real fighter ... so says UFC fighter Lorenz Larkin.

Larkin has been a pro fighter since 2009 -- and essentially lays out why allowing the former WWE superstar in the Octagon is an INSULT to the sport.

You gotta watch this clip ... Larkin throws the SHADE OF THE YEAR -- and says he'd be worried for Punk's life if the UFC ever allowed the two to square off.

"The UFC doesn't have enough insurance for what I'd do to him."

FYI, Punk makes his debut at UFC 203 in September -- we'll see if Larkin's right.

Dani Mathers is in full-on damage control mode ... firing off an apology to her fellow Playboy Playmates.

The 2015 Playmate of the Year sent the bunnies an apology for her "thoughtless and mean-spirited" Snapchat post that cost her a radio gig and her LA Fitness gym membership.

In the email, obtained by TMZ, Dani calls posting a photo of an unwitting woman in a gym sauna a mistake ... apologizing for "the negativity and hate that this has brought forward." She also says there's no excuse for her behavior and she's laying low.

She never explains WHY she's doing a mea culpa to the Playmates, but it's a good bet she's afraid Playboy might yank her title ... so she's throwing herself on the sword.

Trace Adkins was 3 sheets during a charity performance which went south, but he's making good by making a big fat donation to a children's hospital.

The country star was performing in Seaside Heights, New Jersey Wednesday for a fundraiser benefiting St. Jude Children's Hospital.

Trace slurred his way through 3 songs -- obviously drunk -- and it got so bad some people in the audience beelined it for the exit.

The singer's had his problems with the bottle ... back in 2014 he got in a fight with a Trace look-alike on a cruise ship. He went to rehab shortly after the ship docked.

As for Wednesday night ... St. Jude's got a windfall. Trace donated his performance fee to the hospital.

Don't just blame Dani Mathers for the gym sauna pic she posted of a stranger -- without the woman's knowledge -- blame the woman too ... according to actor Brandon T. Jackson.

The "Tropic Thunder" star had a much different perspective on the case everyone's talking about -- former Playmate Mathers body shaming the woman on social media after posting the image she secretly shot.

Brandon, who is a funny guy, was NOT joking when we got him in Bev Hills. If it sounds harsh to blame the victim, check out Brandon's take -- he might have a point.

Sadly.

Dani Mathers is in a heap of trouble, because we've learned the cops are now involved over the photo she took of a naked woman in a gym shower.

We've learned LA Fitness has contacted the LAPD, after confirming Dani is indeed a member of the gym and the person who took the pic.

Dani posted the pic with the caption, "If I can't unsee this then you can't either."

A spokesperson for LA Fitness tells TMZ, "Her behavior is appalling and puts every member's privacy at risk. We have handled this internally and also notified the police."

The gym goes on to say cell phone usage and photography are prohibited in locker rooms, adding, "This is not only our rule it is just common decency."

Selena Gomez has a lead foot -- at least in reverse -- and a poor innocent fence paid the price.

Former Playmate of the Year Dani Mathers did a despicable thing -- posting a pic of a naked woman in the gym shower without her permission, and then got shamed herself ... into making a totally empty apology.

Mathers thought it'd be funny to mock the unwitting woman's body -- she captioned the pic, "If I can't unsee this then you can't either."

She got the appropriate backlash as the Internet immediately ripped the 33-23-31 sized model for ... 1. exposing the woman's privacy -- and 2. having the balls to criticize the woman's body.

Playboy's 2015 PMOY then made a video mea culpa, claiming it was an "accident" -- which makes next to no sense.

Actress and poker champ Jennifer Tilly is getting death threats from some creep who has the Orlando nightclub massacre on the brain.

Law enforcement in L.A. tells us they got a call from Tilly last month when the suspect tweeted a photoshopped pic of her head next to a bloody knife ... with the message, "funny memes about the massacre in Orlando," and "kill the @Jtillathekilla2" -- which is Tilly's username.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, the suspect posted several other images of decapitated people on his or her page with a caption about beheading women, written in Portuguese.

The "Family Guy" and "Monsters, Inc." star told cops the posts made her scared for her family's safety as well.

Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell is donating this season's first NFL game check to a Dallas police organization after facing intense backlash over an Instagram post ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cleveland Browns player Isaiah Crowell's apology for a tasteless social media attack on cops is falling on deaf ears -- and in fact, police tell TMZ Sports ... they'll pull out of the Browns' stadium in protest.

Crowell got blasted for posting an illustration last week of a cop getting his throat slashed by a masked person. He posted it on Wednesday -- after Alton Sterling and Philando Castile's deaths, but the day before 5 Dallas officers were shot and killed.

The running back deleted the post and the Browns demanded he publicly apologize, which he did.

Tony Robbins insisted on 'GMA' Monday that no one was injured when they walked on hot coals during one of his seminars ... but that's certainly not the way it sounds from the 911 calls.

TMZ has obtained tape of several 911 calls, in which people on scene describe what they see. A woman, who says she's a security dispatch officer at the convention center where Robbins held the fire walk, described 3 injured people and "very bad burns."

Another caller said her husband and others were burned and they needed more ambulances.

Tony claimed on the morning show no one was really injured, and brushed off the complaints as nothing more than blisters.

According to initial reports, more than 30 people were burned by walking on the coals, and 5 were hospitalized.

Chris Brown played the race card and it cost him his Vegas gig.

The singer was 86'd from his Vegas residency at Drai's Nightclub for refusing to apologize to the club's owner after calling Drai's a racist venue ... according to a letter management fired off to CB's attorney and obtained by TMZ.

Not too long ago ... Chris torched the club on Instagram, and that pissed off Drai's to the point it issued an ultimatum -- apologize or get out.

But it wasn't just the IG post ... Drai's says Chris' recent behavior has "garnered negative public attention" causing concern among Drai's management.

We're guessing those concerns might have been this, this and this. We reached out to both sides to see if they've mended things, but no word back.

So for now ... deuces!

Nick Young got a visit from his buddy Gilbert Arenas, who was ready to celebrate Nick's new single life -- but also cracked an O.J. Simpson joke about killing Nick's baby mama, Keonna Green.

1:45 PM PT -- A rep for Snapchat tells us, "We are sorry if people were offended," adding, "Our Discover partners have editorial independence, which is something that we support."

A bunch of kids are suing Snapchat for allegedly corrupting them with sexually explicit content.

Famed attorney Mark Geragos has just filed a lawsuit against the social media giant, claiming its new feature, Snapchat Discover -- which curates posts from various media outlets -- has become a haven for raunchy topics.

Geragos gives examples:

-- 10 Things He Thinks When He Can't Make You Orgasm

-- I Got High, Blown, and Robbed When I Was a Pizza Delivery Guy

-- 23 Pictures That Are Too Real If You've Ever Had Sex with a Penis (the Buzzfeed post features Disney characters with pornographic captions)

-- What It Is Really Like to Let People Finger You in Public

Meek Mill and thousands of others fell for an Internet hoax and ended up ripping into a guy who is NOT one of the Baton Rouge cops who shot Alton Sterling.

Robert Kinnison says he's been receiving death threats after his image went viral following Sterling's death. Kinnison is a trucker from Arizona and Donald Trump supporter ... but says someone trolled him and it's not the first time.

He says someone online frequently posts a pic of him holding his gun after high-profile shooting incidents. This time the meme went viral, and Meek fell for it ... sharing the image on his IG page.

According to Baton Rouge PD, the cops involved in the Alton Sterling slaying are actually named Blane Salamoni and Howie Lake II.

Kinnison's been trying to clear his name in videos he's posting online.
