You Might Want to Rethink

Bob the Drag Queen is calling out LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen -- insisting their show, "Lip Sync Battle," copied "RuPaul's Drag Race," and not the other way around.

Bob, who won season 8 of 'Drag Race,' ... wants to shut up the haters who claim the recent season 9 finale ripped off the 'LSB' format. Bob says his show's always featured a sudden death lip sync battle between the show's lowest scoring drag queens.

Not to mention, 'Drag Race' was already on its 7th season when 'LSB' premiered.

Bottom line -- don't come for Bob, 'Lip Sync' fans, and she won't come for you.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner's vintage t-shirt line pissed off rock legend band The Doors, and now the iconic group's going to sue.

Lawyers for the band fired off a cease and desist letter to the Jenner sisters over the gear ... which features a famous pic of Jim Morrison covered by a Kendall selfie. The letter, dated Thursday, says the t-shirt line tarnishes their trademark. The shirt also features the band's logo.

As we reported, the sisters removed the t-shirt line completely on Thursday -- after getting a similar threat from the estate of Notorious B.I.G. -- and apologized for offending all artists included on the tees including Ozzy Osbourne, Pink Floyd, Tupac and of course, The Doors.

Annie Lennox may get a huge break ... a shot at actually getting one of her songs played on the radio!

This is hilarious. A chick named Kylie, who works for a radio station, sent Annie a letter which begins ... "I came across your music on line and really like what I heard!"

Kylie, the New Music Coordinator for the station, went on, "I find artists who I think have potential and get them in rotation on our station. If you'd like, please send over the MP3 for your latest single," adding, "I'll forward it to Glenn our program director to see if he's interested in putting it in rotation."

Things actually turn a little weird, as the email continues ... "We are connected to an artist development firm that can also get you onto 150 radio stations worldwide."

Annie just posted a caution ... "Whilst it's obviously a bit of fun sharing the email I received telling me I had 'potential' sadly up and coming musicians are sent these kinds of scams every day."

BTW, just a sample of the dozens of Annie Lennox/Eurythmics hits ... "Walking on Broken Glass," "Why," "Sweet Dreams," "Here Comes The Rain Again" ...

Kendall and Kylie Jenner learned a valuable lesson today -- sometimes it's NOT easier to ask for forgiveness than permission ... because they just apologized for ripping off images of music icons to hawk t-shirts.

Kendall and Kylie just waived the white flag saying ... "These designs were not well thought out and we deeply apologize to anyone that has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists."

It's pretty incredible. The Jenners slapped images of Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Ozzy Osbourne, The Doors, Pink Floyd and others ... without ever contacting them or their estates. We say incredible because they themselves have been embroiled in fights where people have tried using their images.

We broke the story ... Biggie's estate fired off a cease and desist letter to the Jenners and Biggie's mom accused them of "exploitation."

Kendall and Kylie have now scrubbed their site of the entire vintage line.

The Notorious B.I.G. estate wasted no time threatening Kendall and Kylie Jenner with a lawsuit if they don't put a stop to selling shirts with the legendary rapper's image.

The estate's lawyer, Julian K. Petty, fired off a cease and desist letter to the J sisters with a deadline of 5 PM Friday to stop pimping the shirts ... or face a lawsuit.

It appears the letter was effective -- hours after Petty sent it ... the Biggie shirt -- along with 2 others featuring Tupac's image -- was no longer available on the website.

The estate's adamant it NEVER gave the Jenners permission, and Petty tells us, "This is misappropriation at its finest. I’m curious to hear the justification. I’m even more curious to hear the proposed resolution."

As we reported ... Biggie's mom, Voletta Walace, said ripping her son's image to sell t-shirts on the girls' website is "disrespectful and exploitation at its worst."

We've reached out to the Jenners, so far no word back.

Even Kellyanne Conway has NO defense for President Trump's verbal attack on Mika Brzezinski ... because she tried every possible tactic to avoid the topic.

We got Trump's Counselor Thursday morning on Capitol Hill -- just a few hours after his brutal tweets about Mika. We barely got the question out when she launched into every pivot in her arsenal.

Her agenda for the day, her "bipartisan hug" with Rep. Debbie Dingell ... and when an elevator couldn't come quickly enough, she tried the ole ... how's the weather tactic.

Yeah, "It's a gorgeous day here" ... isn't gonna make this one go away.

Case in point, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan took issue with trump's "tone."

Even President Donald Trump wants to know what's going on with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers ... so, he went right to the owner and asked him.

Dan Gilbert happened to be at the White House Wednesday -- along with the Chicago Cubs (who are in town to play the Nationals) and Trump brought them all together for a high level introduction.

While introducing Gilbert to guys like Joe Maddon, Kris Bryant, Jon Lester and others ... he turned to Gilbert and asked how he's doing with LeBron James.

It appeared Gilbert responded, "Good, yeah."

Interesting situation for two reasons -- First, Bron isn't a Trump fan. Second, there's talk LeBron could leave Cleveland after next season.

Gilbert didn't drop any bombshells ... it was just interesting watching him handle that situation.

A nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic made its intern search look more like Miss Hawaiian Tropic ... and as you'd probably guess someone's in really hot water. Not radioactive though. We hope.

The Temelin Station posted photos of 10 high school graduates who were vying for a 2 week internship at the plant. The Facebook post said the candidate who got the most likes would be crowned "Miss Energy 2017."

The online reaction was, well ... nuclear.

The plant -- which is the largest in the Czech Republic -- apologized after 2 days of competition and announced all 10 young women would get internships. It insisted the original intent was to "promote technical education."

He's worn dresses ... maybe that's why Dennis Rodman felt so comfortable using the women's restroom at Long Beach airport Wednesday night.

A female witness tells us she noticed Dennis in the airport around 9 PM -- but couldn't believe it when she saw The Worm walk straight into the women's restroom while blasting Staind's "It's Been Awhile" on his mini-speaker.

We're told he was inside for about a minute -- and acted normal while a bunch of confused women looked on ... some doing double takes.

And now, the comedic stylings of Rob Gronkowski ...

"You wanna know why Jews do play football??? To get their quarter back you cheap f*ck."

WAKKA WAKKA WAKKA!

Yeah, that was the kind of material Gronk was workin' with at the Roast of David Ortiz in Boston on Thursday -- where he dropped everything from black jokes to fat jokes to penis jokes.

Hey, it's a roast ... right?

Among the highlights ...

-- Gronk pointed out female comics he wouldn't bang

-- told Anthony Mackie (who's black) he was impressed by his role of Falcon in Captain America because he could fly "when he's not being chased by the cops"

-- told Ortiz he "jerked off" in his green room on the set of a Dunkin' Donuts commercial

There's more. Eight minutes of it. Enjoy.

Judge Judy thinks Johnny Depp is in the clear for his Trump assassination wisecrack, but that doesn't mean she thinks it's ok.

Judy and hubby Jerry Sheindlin were in WeHo Thursday night leaving Craig's restaurant when our photog asked if Depp's quip violated the law. She dismisses that, but raises issues of taste.

It's interesting ... when our photog mentions Depp made the comment outside the U.S. of A., she doubles down and suggests certain matters of taste are simply universal.

Michael Kors' friendly fashion chat was busted up by a pack of angry protesters who rushed the stage, surrounded the designer, then chanted wild animal noises at him.

Kors had just started a chat with Alina Cho at The Met Wednesday night in NYC when a group of anti-fur activists crashed the stage and yelled ... "Michael Kors is responsible for the deaths of countless innocent animals!" It only got more rowdy from there.

The designer screamed, "Get away from me!" ... and the group -- New York Animal Defenders -- was eventually escorted out.

This is the same group that crashed Kelly Rowland's book signing in April.

President Trump's got a new scandal on his hands, and this one goes deep ... like the 18th hole deep.

A video's surfaced of the Prez golfing during one of his weekend trips to Bedminster, his NJ golf course. It shows Trump driving his golf cart across what many people believe to be the green -- a major party foul, as ALL golfers know.

Now, there's some debate if he's actually on the green, or just the fringe. The fellow golfers he talked to at the time didn't complain -- but the video's become a thing on the Internet.

If he is on the green, we suspect we know how POTUS would have Sean Spicer handle this one: "You guys, it's HIS golf course!"

11:24 PM PT-- Akon just set the record straight -- saying he fell on purpose to crowd surf and get extra close with his fans -- he also posted a video from an alternate angle to support his claim.

Akon fell for Canada ... and he really struggled to get up.

The singer was in the middle of a performance Sunday night at The Ranch Roadhouse in Edmonton when he decided to do a little crowd surfing.

No big deal ... it's what artists do -- but when Akon hopped up on the shoulders of a couple fans things started going downhill fast. We can laugh now, because he eventually resurfaced ... unscathed. We think.

And his reaction to getting swallowed up by the crowd was the best -- Akon just tried to catch another wave! If at first you don't succeed ... eh?

Still way safer than XXXTentacion's crowd interaction ...

Andre Ward says Sergey Kovalev needs to be punished for his racist antics on social media, and tells TMZ Sports he's gonna do it with his fists when the two men meet on June 17.

Kovalev's been getting heat for a meme he posted to his social media recently, one that depicts a fake convo between him and Ward, where Andre repeatedly uses both the N- and F- words.

Sergey has since deleted the video meme, but the backlash was swift from those who said that making it sound as if Ward -- a devout Christian -- dropped nonstop n-bombs was racist.

BTW ... it's not the first time the Russian fighter has been accused of racism, but he has said in the past that cultural misunderstandings were to blame for the controversies.

Ward ain't buying it, and told us there was NO DOUBT the post was racist, and he's gonna make Kovalev pay for it.

"He's culturally sound enough to know some of the things he's been doing are racially motivated. It's more motivation, definitely more motivation," Ward says ... adding, "He needs to be silenced."

** HERE'S KOVALEV'S VIDEO -- WARNING: CONTAINS OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE**

Customs agents and a drug sniffin' dog busted a woman attempting to smuggle 6 bricks of cocaine -- worth nearly $500k -- in the cushion of her wheelchair.

Yoncela Stanley arrived at the JFK Airport Sunday from St. Lucia, and allegedly had the load of blow tucked under and behind her in the motorized chair. The K9 wasn't fooled though, and alerted Customs and Border Protection Officers who noticed the back seat cushion looked "unusual."

6 bricks and 2 clear bags of coke -- tipping the scales at 27 lbs. and worth $468,000 -- would definitely be unusual. Stanley was booked for importation of a controlled substance.

The K9 got a big bag of legal treats, we're guessing, for the bust.
