Chris Pratt Punches MMA Fighter In Stomach ... 'Happy Birthday!!!'

Published | Updated

What does Chris Pratt give his friends on their birthday? STOMACH PUNCHES!!

That's how he celebrated with his pal Adel "Kyokushin" Altamimi -- the pro-MMA fighter who Pratt walked to the cage at Bellator 214 back in January.

Pratt and Adel are close friends -- and to celebrate Adel's big 30th birthday, his training partners at Jay Glazer's Unbreakable Gym in L.A. handed out a flurry of body blows!

It's a birthday tradition at the gym -- hold the cage, flex your abs and everybody gets a shot!

Among the gift-givers ... Chris, Jay and ex-NFL player Nate Boyer.

As for the birthday boy, he's got a pretty amazing story -- he was born and raised in Iraq and was contracted as a convoy driver for the U.S. Marine Corps.

During his service, Altamimi was captured by Al Qaeda and was threatened with death -- until he was saved by a group of U.S. Marines.

After the rescue, Altamimi moved to the U.S. and began his MMA training -- where he became close with guys like Jay Glazer and Chris Pratt.

Pretty amazing dude.

Tyga New Rolls and a Lambo On the Way ... Suck It, Repo Man!!!

Published | Updated

Tyga's got a pretty strange cure for the repo man blues -- he's simply buying even more luxury rides ... somehow, someway.

Sources familiar with the deal tell TMZ ... Tyga purchased a red, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan -- the luxury line's new SUV. We're told he picked it up about 3 weeks ago, ironically, shortly before he got manhandled at Floyd Mayweather's party over a Maybach that got repo'd.

RIDIN' IN STYLE

In fact, that's the whip he hopped into after the nightclub incident where he tried to pull his bodyguard's handgun. The Rolls goes for about $325k, but that's a base model.

If that's not shocking enough ... we're also told Tyga was shopping Wednesday in Bev Hills for a brand new Lamborghini and could pull the trigger on it any day now.

We'd love to just to be happy for the guy, but NONE of this adds up.

Besides the Maybach repo, he's also dealing with a $128k lawsuit for bailing on payments for a Ferrari and a Rolls-Royce.

BTW, while he had time to shop for a Lambo this week, he couldn't squeeze a court appearance into his schedule, so there's now a warrant for his arrest.

Point is ... Tyga loses the You-Owe-Us-Money-For-That-Car game -- time and time again -- yet he keeps on playing. Good luck, car dealers!!!

If the deals go south, we know a guy who can help 'em recoup their losses.

Hillary Clinton Drops 'Mean Girls' on Prez Trump ... Obsessed Much?!?

Published | Updated

Donald Trump thought he landed a nice jab at Hillary Clinton by basking in her decision not to run in 2020 -- but looks like she's getting the last laugh ... and Regina George would love it!

DT took the first shot Tuesday, tweeting -- naturally -- his response to "Crooked" Hillary not running ... "'Aw-shucks, does that mean I won’t get to run against her again? She will be sorely missed!"

Hillary did promise to continue fighting for what she believes in ... and looks like giving Trump the business is on that list. After his Twitter-diss she clapped back "Mean Girls" style.

She posted a classic GIF of Rachel McAdams' character asking Janis why she's so obsessed with her. Hard to argue with that -- years after his 2016 victory, POTUS never passes up an opportunity to reference her ... and never glowingly.

Funny enough, a Twitter account for the Embassy of Israel responded to the Ayatollah with the same thing when the Iranian dictator went on a tirade against the country.

BTW, can we all stop trying to make "Mean Girls" happen again? It's so NOT fetch!

Kate Beckinsale's Ex Good Luck to Pete Davidson ... Enjoy Her While Ya Can!!!

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

Pete Davidson should say thank you, next to Kate Beckinsale ... at least, that's what one of her exes thinks.

We got comedian Matt Rife Monday night at the Laugh Factory on Sunset. Matt dated Kate back in 2017, so we asked if he has any tips for Pete and he did.

Watch the clip, Matt tried his best to be positive but we think he failed because his bottom line for Pete was ... RUN!!!

As you know ... Pete and Kate have been getting closer over the last couple months  -- making out at NHL games, getting handsy at comedy shows. Pete's ex-fiancée, Ariana Grande, has even given them her blessing.

Matt, who's in his 20s just like Pete, isn't exactly handing out blessings. Yes, he wished Kate and Pete all the best, but it's a backhanded compliment at best.

Don't get it twisted ... Matt isn't trying to get back with Kate -- sounds like it didn't end well between them -- but he's advising Pete to buckle up for a "complicated" ride.

Chris D'Elia on Stormy Daniels Slams Her Stand-Up Gig 'She Got F***ed and She'll Get F***ed'

Published | Updated

Chris D'Elia says making a sex tape doesn't make you a porn star, so Stormy Daniels should take the same advice into her comedy career ... you're not a comedian just cuz you've got a stand-up gig.

We got Chris out Monday night at Craig's in WeHo and asked his thoughts on Stormy's upcoming comedy tour. For starters, Chris suggests she change her "comedy tour" to a "speaking tour," saying it ain't easy to be funny ... just ask Charlie Sheen.

ICYMI ... Stormy's got a couple shows later this month at the Joke Joint Comedy Club in Houston. Her management team reportedly reached out to the club with the idea and they agreed to give her the stage to work the crowd.

But, check out the clip -- Chris says Stormy's reasons for this stunt are obvious -- and they definitely involve dollar signs.

Bombs away!!!

Oprah Target of Ruthless, Hateful Messages From Michael Jackson Fans

Published | Updated

Oprah Winfrey is getting inundated with hate-filled messages from Michael Jackson fans ahead of her big interview with his accusers from "Leaving Neverland."

Oprah's interview with Jackson accusers Wade Robson and James Safechuck is set to air Monday night on HBO after Part 2 of "Leaving Neverland." Excerpts have already been released ... and, clearly, the content is pissing off MJ's most passionate followers.

In a clip from the interview taped Wednesday, Oprah says "Leaving Neverland" transcends Michael ... and speaks to a larger societal issue regarding sexual abuse. She doesn't say whether she believes Robson and Safechuck -- both of whom have previously testified MJ never molested them.

The interview alone has still been enough to trigger this kind of Internet hate.

One user posted, "If karma is real after @Oprah is laid to rest, which I hope is many years from now, ppl will come out of the woodwork to lie on, betray and besmirch her name the way it is being done to Michael Jackson. And ppl she once let into her inner circle will lead the way."

Another tweet reads, "@Oprah you're disgusting... a cheap mercenary.. karma will punish you.. #MJInnocent @michaeljackson we will fight for you."

There's another clip Oprah released that actually asks a hard question of both Wade and James -- why did they keep associating with Michael if he had, in fact, abused them? On its face, the question shows Oprah's objectivity ... but that seems to be lost on rabid MJ fans.

Snoop on Lakers: 'Get a Slave Ship' 'Ship All Them N***as Out'

Published | Updated

"Ship all them n***as out. Get a slave ship, and ship all them sorry motherf*ckers the f*ck outta here!"

That's just a tiny piece of Snoop Dogg's weekend rant against the Lakers ... and yeah, dude is PISSED Los Angeles is about to miss the playoffs again this season.

"These sorry mother f*ckers ain't going to do sh*t," Snoop said ... "These goofballs ain't going to do sh*t. They sorry."

Snoop's scorched earth comments came after L.A.'s second loss this weekend -- a 118-109 pounding to the last-place Suns -- when the rapper threw his camera into selfie mode and blasted EVERYONE not named LeBron.

"Somebody gotta go. F*ck this shit. Somebody gotta go. Matter of fact, a lot of n***as gotta go, starting with the coach."

As for his Staples Center tickets ... Snoop says he's so over L.A., he's giving away his box suite seats for just $5!!!!

Think Snoop's overreacting? With losses to the Bucks on Friday and Phoenix on Saturday ... the Lakers are now closer to 13th place in the West than they are to a playoff spot.

Snoop's begging the front office to intervene ... and as part of his rant -- he yelled, "Get LeBron some f*ckin' help!!"

Only 19 games left in the season ... clock is ticking, Magic!!!

Anthony Anderson I Think Roseanne Might 'Need Help' ... After #MeToo Remarks

Published | Updated

Anthony Anderson's reaction to Roseanne Barr slamming the #MeToo movement is pretty simple -- he suggests it's actually an SOS ... a sign she really needs help.

The "Black-ish" star was leaving Craig's Sunday night and we asked if he'd caught Roseanne's interview with Candace Owens ... which included jabs at women who wait years to complain about sexual misconduct.

Anthony told us he hadn't seen it himself, but he had heard about it. Watch the clip ... his immediate facial reaction walks a fine line between a grimace and side-eye, but his message was clear.

#METOO... COMING FOR YOU TOO

If you missed it ... Roseanne appeared on Candace's show Saturday and called out women involved in the #MeToo movement for having no self-respect. She said any woman who'd stick around a hotel room and put up with such conduct was "nothin' but a ho."

She also insulted Midwestern Americans, calling them "obese" and anti-Semitic.

Bottom line for Anthony ... send this woman a lifeline. STAT.

Roseanne #MeToo is Just 'Hollywood Hos' ... And Lay Off Israel, Fat People!!!

#METOO... COMING FOR YOU TOO

Roseanne Barr is unloading on the #MeToo movement with some jaw-dropping comments that rival the ones that cost her her sitcom.

She was the guest Saturday on Candace Owens' show when the ultra-conservative host lit the fuse by saying she was sick of "Lena Dunham types going around saying we want this now, now, now." She added ... the whole "believe women thing" was out of control.

Then Roseanne tapped in, taking a shot at women who complain about sexual misconduct years later. She said they should've run out of the room ... "But, you stayed around 'cause you're like, 'Well, I thought maybe he was gonna give me a writing job.' Well, you ain't nothing but a ho."

The fireworks were just beginning. Roseanne also dragged Mike Tyson into it, saying he calls #MeToo, You Too ... because it will eventually get you.

And, then there was her take on anti-Semitism in middle America -- or as she puts it, "obese people from the Midwest."

Well, she doesn't have a show to lose.

President Trump Failed 2nd N. Korea Summit Cost Taxpayers Over $1.3 Million

Published | Updated

President Trump finally made it to Vietnam -- but he did it using a ton of taxpayer dollars ... and got a whole lot of nothin' out of it from North Korea.

TMZ did some digging on the cost of Trump's second summit with Kim Jong-un in Hanoi, and turns out it was at least $1.3 million ... much of which went toward putting Americans up for a couple of nights and making sure they were cozy.

According to federal procurement docs -- obtained by TMZ -- lodging alone for Trump and co. during the two-day summit -- which wrapped Thursday without a deal on nukes or sanctions -- ran Uncle Sam upwards of $632k between 3 hotels and miscellaneous costs.

The State Dept. footed the majority of that lodging bill, including a separate $157k for lodging at the Melia Hanoi Hotel -- where Kim Jong-un stayed and where the American press corp was staying as well ... before getting booted by Kim's camp.

According to reports, Kim became uneasy with the American press in such close proximity ... so they were ultimately moved to a new hotel.

But, wait ... there's more!!!

The conference rooms alone where Trump and Kim couldn't come to terms cost $316k, and things like lights, stereo systems, drapes and awnings ran about $100k all together. The Dept. of Defense dropped about $60k for leased internet lines.

There's more money that was spent as well ... with zero results.

Priyanka Chopra Tweet About India-Pakistan Conflict Prompts Online Petition to UNICEF

Published | Updated

The authors of an online petition think Priyanka Chopra's not acting like a Goodwill Ambassador because she seemingly took sides in the recent clash between nuclear powers, India and Pakistan.

The online petition calls for UNICEF to remove Priyanka from her ambassadorship due to a tweet she posted earlier this week. The actress tweeted a Hindu phrase that translates to "Long live India" on Tuesday ... the same day Indian fighter jets bombed a militant training camp in Pakistan. Pakistan later shot down an Indian plane and captured its pilot.

Now, obviously, Priyanka was born and raised in India -- she's arguably the country's biggest celebrity. And it's well known several generations of her family served in India's armed forces.

Still, the petition calls for her to remain neutral, reading in part ... "War between two nuclear powers can only lead to destruction & death. As goodwill ambassador of UNICEF, Priyanka Chopra was supposed to stay neutral & peaceful but her tweet in favour of Indian arm forces after they invaded Pakistan airspace shows otherwise. She doesn’t deserve this title anymore."

Worth noting ... the petition was started in Pakistan and makes no mention of the Pakistan-based militant group. It currently has a couple thousand signatures. UNICEF isn't commenting, and we've reached out to Priyanka's reps.

Violent clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces began 2 weeks ago when a suicide car bomb killed 40 Indian troops. A Pakistani militant group claimed responsibility.

Priyanka's made no other public comment. In fact, it's been business as usual -- she and husband Nick Jonas flew back to India earlier this week.

A couple days later, the Jonas Bros. debuted their new music vid, "Sucker," featuring their significant others ... Priyanka, Sophie Turner and Danielle Jonas.

Jordyn Woods Says She's 'No Homewrecker' on 'Red Table Talk' ... Khloe Calls BS!!!

ONE KISS, NO PASSION

9:30 AM PT -- Khloe's not buying Jordyn's story for a second. She just tweeted, "Why are you lying @jordynwoods?? If you're going to try and save yourself by going public ... at least be HONEST about your story." She's also fully blaming Jordyn for the break-up with Tristan.

Jordyn Woods is telling her side of the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal, telling Jada Pinkett Smith ... everyone has the wrong idea about what went down.

As you know, Kylie Jenner's former BFF spilled the beans while recording 'Red Table Talk' earlier this week, and the episode just dropped on Facebook.

Jordyn admits she shouldn't have gone to Tristan's house party where the alleged cheating went down -- but denies making out with him. Her version of the story is she did sit next to him and drape her legs over him while sitting on a chair. She describes it as innocent fun.

As for the "kiss" ... she says the only lip-to-lip contact came as she was leaving his house early the next morning. She says Tristan kissed her on the lips, but says there was zero passion.

Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.

TMZ broke the story ... Jordyn was accused of making out with Tristan Thompson over Valentine's Day weekend, and the saga has been spiraling ever since. She's been ousted from the Kardashian family business, and recently moved out of Kylie's guest house.

On top of all that, Jordyn's facing potential legal repercussions from the Kardashians if she violated an NDA with what she says to Jada. So, we know the Kardashians and their lawyers are watching this closely.

We know why Jordyn ran to Jada and co. to tell her side of the story ... she's close with the Smiths, and thought they'd be able to give her a fair shake.

As for Khloe and Tristan ... they've both been relatively quiet about the latest cheating scandal. There's no telling how they'll react after seeing Jordyn speak her piece.

SZA Goes Tumbling Down All the Stairs

SEE YA NEXT FALL

SZA needs to be way more careful when she's scoping out a new pad ... because you never know when an open door to a down staircase will appear.

The singer and her friend, Sage, were in their new house getting some video for their Instagram stories when SZA -- clearly unfamiliar with the lay of the land -- takes a nasty fall.

Check it out ... her friend's recording when SZA squats down, apparently thinking she's still got a wall behind her and leans back too far into the abyss.

It looks pretty bad, but Sage -- despite screaming in horror -- keeps filming and we see SZA at the bottom of the steps ... and she says she's fine.

Probably not the best way to get settled into a new home, but a memorable way ... as long as she didn't hit her head too hard.

Ex-NFL Coach Mike McCarthy Investigated Over 'Verbal Tirade' ... at High School Game

Published | Updated

Ex-Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy is under fire after officials say they have video of the 55-year-old berating officials at his stepson's high school basketball game.

McCarthy was allegedly pissed off at the referees after his stepson's Notre Dame Academy lost to Pulaski High on Tuesday night ... and followed the refs as they left the court.

Officials say McCarthy went on a "verbal tirade" -- using inappropriate language to rip the refs.

Officials have filed an "abuse against contest officials" complaint against McCarthy and the school is investigating.

Footage captured by the school district shows a man -- identified as McCarthy -- following the refs and yelling at them.

Pulaski athletic director Janel Batten explained it this way -- "This parent chose to follow the officials and berate them, which is clearly unacceptable."

"Some things were said, some language was used that we don't want in our gym, unsportsmanlike language," she told WLUK.

McCarthy has reportedly been a regular at his stepson's basketball games this season.

McCarthy coached the Packers from 2006 to 2018 -- leading the Cheeseheads to a Super Bowl victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2011.

He was fired last year after reported tension between him and star quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

McCarthy was angling to coach the New York Jets -- but they went with Adam Gase instead.

Travis Scott Happy To Be On Tour To Stay Clear of Jordyn Woods Drama

Published | Updated

Travis Scott is as far away from the Jordyn Woods scandal as he can be without leaving the United States ... and we're told he couldn't be happier.

Our Travis/Kylie sources say the rapper, who's currently in Buffalo for his Astroworld tour, does not want to be caught in the quicksand of controversy that in many ways revolves around his baby mama.

We're told it's like a powder keg back home, where Kylie's sisters have declared war on Tristan Thompson and have been hammering Kylie to break all ties for good. Kylie's on board for now, but everyone believes she's torn because of her incredibly strong bond with Jordyn.

Short story ... home ain't a peaceful place to be these days, and Travis, who's always tried to avoid controversy, is happily 2,500 miles away.

That said, our sources say Travis has been fully supportive of Kylie and has been lending an ear whenever she needs it. But, the way he sees it ... he doesn't have a dog in the fight and he'll go along with whatever Kylie wants.

BTW ... Travis has spent a lot of time with Jordyn since he and Kylie got together nearly 2 years ago. Nevertheless, it's her friend and he's just going along for the ride.

For now ... Jordyn has been blackballed from the Kardashians. They cut all future business ties with her, and she's persona non grata at Kylie's home, where she had been living in the guesthouse.

Jamie Kennedy Stand-up Hecklers Set Him Off ... Bails on Crowd After Declaring War

Published | Updated

8:00 AM PT -- Jamie shared some video clips from the comedy club that show what went down with the women hecklers that led to them being kicked out ... and before he lectured the remaining audience. He captioned the series of vids, "Judge for yourself."

He added about one of the hecklers, "She attacked me, I attacked back. I will do that all day. Fair is fair."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Jamie Kennedy seems to be at wit's end with audiences at his stand-up shows ... because a couple of hecklers made him lose his cool and walk offstage at his most recent gig.

The comedian was performing at Irvine Improv in Southern California on Tuesday night when -- just a few minutes into his set -- he grew frustrated with a pair of women texting and talking in the front row ... and told them to leave.

That's where the video -- obtained by TMZ -- picks up ... and it's pretty awkward. Kennedy gets into it with a couple of other audience members who want him to get back to the jokes, but he says, "This is war" ... and goes on a rant about the creative process.

Ironically, Jamie mentions his career can be wrecked if he goes viral for a bad show ... so he decides it's not worth it to try to win the crowd back and bails.

SOMETHING'S CHANGED

Kennedy vented on his Instagram story after the Improv fiasco, blaming hecklers for the plight of comedians like him ... who stuff their faces with pie to heal the hurt feelings.

He also claims something is awry in the comedy world right now -- there's just no damn respect.

JUST JOKES

Jamie's battle with hecklers goes back a little further too ... to Monday night at The Comedy Palace in San Diego. The comedian shared a video from his act in which he addressed another woman who was texting a lot ... especially when he did "an offensive joke."

The crowd seemed to have his back that time though.

Pick your battles, bro.
