DMX Charged with Tax Evasion ... Feds Say He Hid Millions

Published | Updated

DMX and the IRS have major beef ... the feds just slapped the rapper with 14 counts of tax evasion, and he's already surrendered to law enforcement.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in NYC says DMX has concealed his income for several years and is now about $1.7 million in the red to the IRS. According to the indictment, X had cash pouring in during the early 2000s from a slew of hits. The feds even name checked "X Gon' Give It to Ya" in the docs.

They say he was avoiding using personal bank accounts, using accounts of surrogates -- including business managers -- and lived mostly on cash.

According to the docs, when DMX appeared on 'Couples Therapy' he was supposed to be paid $125,000 -- but when he got his initial check the proper taxes had been withheld ... which didn't sit well with him. The feds say he went back to producers and demanded a new check for the full amount ... which he got.

In the indictment, prosecutors say he listed his income in 2011 and 2012 as "unknown" ... when in reality he'd made $353k and $542k, respectively. In 2013, he finally did report income ... of $10k. That number was a little off, according to feds, who say he actually hauled in $250k that year.

If DMX is convicted on all 14 counts, he's looking at 44 years in federal lockup. He turned himself in Thursday evening, and will be officially indicted Friday morning before a judge.

MAYWEATHER MADNESS

Madness in Times Square ... where hundreds of people swarmed Floyd Mayweather as he was walking out of a bank -- and the video is pretty nuts.

Floyd was flanked by his massive TMT bodyguards as he left Chase Bank -- where he either deposited his $100 million check ... or withdrew some cash for the big media event in Brooklyn Thursday night.

(Remember, Conor mocked him for only having $5,000 in his backpack on Wednesday).

Either way, the scene was chaotic -- everyone tried to get a shot on their phones -- but Floyd ultimately made it to his ride without incident.

Not everyone got out clean though ... cops were on the street firing off tickets for illegally parked cars that appeared to be a part of the TMT entourage.

Good thing Floyd's rich.

President Trump Says Oui, Oui, Oui To French First Lady's Body

Published | Updated

President Trump got an eyeful of French President Emmanuel Macron's wife and, in the most awkward way possible ... made it clear he liked what he saw.

Trump, with Melania at his side, greeted Brigitte Macron Thursday in Paris -- and in video posted on Prez Macron's Facebook ... POTUS was overheard saying, "You're in such good shape. Beautiful."

The issue ... he was looking right at her at the time. Madame Macron seemed to squirm a bit as she moved closer to Melania during the exchange.

The French First Lady's age has been a hot topic over there -- she's 64, while her husband is 39 -- so, it's possible Trump was attempting to deliver a compliment.

No getting around it though ... this video is -- how do you say? Zee awkward.

Peyton Manning: People Told Me Not to Golf with Trump

Published | Updated

Peyton Manning says he was pressured to REJECT President Donald Trump's invitation to golf with him last month ... but #18 didn't listen ... saying turning down the POTUS would be "un-American."

The NFL legend appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and said he happened to be in D.C. back in June when he got a call from the White House asking him to join Trump for golf.

"I gotta tell ya Jimmy, I had a lot of people telling me not to do it," Manning said.

"I think it would have been almost un-American to have said 'No.'"

Manning said Trump was a gracious host and they had fun golfing together.

When asked if Trump cheated -- as Samuel L. Jackson has previously alleged -- Peyton shot that down too and said he counted Donald's strokes.

Rob Kardashian Apologizes to His Family You Were Right All Along

Published | Updated

Rob Kardashian is deeply remorseful for slut shaming Blac Chyna ... at least that's what he told his family.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Rob's spoken with all of his sisters and his mom, telling them he has no excuse for posting nude pics of Chyna and her medical information on social media. He said he regrets he didn't deal with the Chyna drama privately and said it wouldn't happen again.

One thing Rob did not apologize for ... he flatly denied he ever physically abused Chyna.

Rob also acknowledged all of the Kardashian women warned him Chyna was "bad news" and he should stay away ... advice he ignored. He told them they were right.

He also said he stayed with Chyna longer than he should have because he grew up in a 2-parent household and wanted the same for Dream.

We're told Rob and family have stayed quiet through the ordeal in an effort to stop the back and forth in the best interest of his daughter.

We're told the women accepted his apology and are hopeful he'll heed their advice.

Conor to Floyd: 'Dance for Me, Boy'

Published | Updated

Two things you don't say to black men in America ...

1) "Dance for Me"

2) "Boy"

Conor McGregor said BOTH of those things to Floyd Mayweather at the big fight news conference in L.A. and people are pissed.

The reaction on social media was swift with FS1's Chris Broussard tweeting, "'Dance for me, boy!' Ohh, ohh. Does he know what he just said?"

Not the first time Conor's gone racial to hype a fight -- he famously called Nate Diaz a "cholo gangster" before UFC 196.

Kim Kardashian Shoots Down Coke Rumor C'mon Guys, It's Just Sugar!

Published | Updated

This blows for Kim Kardashian ... she's had to jump on social media to deny a drug rumor based on a video she herself posted.

Kim made a video for her Instagram, and some of her followers noticed two nearly perfect white lines on the counter behind her. One follower flat-out accused her of being caught with cocaine.

Kim tried to put out the fire Tuesday morning, saying ... "That's sugar from our candy mess from dylan's candy shop."

The candy thing checks out. She's in NYC, and Sunday she took North shopping for sweets.

As for the lines? Pixy Stix powder? C'mon ... we were all kids once, right?

Shia LaBeouf Arrest Rants on Bodycam ... I Tried to 'Be Nice, You Stupid Bitch!'

Published | Updated
Shia LaBeouf's Drunken Rant JULY 2017
THE DRUNKEN ARREST

Shia LaBeouf unleashed an epic drunken rant at Savannah, GA police as they took him into custody -- and bodycam footage shows him repeatedly calling one cop a "dumb f**k" and a "stupid bitch."

As we reported ... cops tracked down Shia at his hotel and arrested him in the lobby, but he did not go quietly. He yelled at the officer, "I have rights! I'm an American. You got me in my hotel, arresting me in my hotel for doing what, Sir?"

The rant got worse once he was in the police cruiser -- "I'm a f**king American, I pay my taxes, get these s**ts off my f**king arm." He also got racial, telling the black officer ... the President "doesn't give a f**k about you, and you wanna do what? Arrest white people?"

After unsuccessfully begging the cops to let him go ... he turned to threats, saying ... "I got more millionaire lawyers than you know what to do with, you stupid bitch!"

Once he was back at the police station ... he continued berating the officers, and also complained the handcuffs were way too tight.

As we reported, Shia was booked for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and obstruction.

Blac Youngsta Posts Mock Crucifixion Pic ... Internet Destroys Him

Published | Updated

Blac Youngsta put himself on a cross, and now he's actually getting $10,000 offers ... to delete the damn photo.

The rapper/master s**t stirrer posted the pic Monday of himself fully mocking the crucifixion with Tupac's lyrics, "HAIL MARY COME WITH ME." He also said "R.I.P. TUPAC."

It appears he was shooting a music video, and not necessarily pulling one of his usual attention-grabbing stunts. Still, most of the nearly 15k people who've commented on the pic have called him everything from corny to disrespectful to ... "about the dumbest mf."

Atlanta rapper Ralo was pissed enough to offer Youngsta $10k if he removed the post. All we know for sure at this point is the pic's still up -- and Youngsta definitely will NOT be invited to teach Sunday School this week.

Dr. Dre 'Out of My F***ing Mind' When I Beat Dee Barnes

Published | Updated

Dr. Dre is making his most powerful confession/apology for attacking journalist Dee Barnes back in the '90s, and imploring other men to keep their hands off women.

Dre faced the "dark cloud that follows" him during part 2 of HBO's documentary "The Defiant Ones." While the doc focuses on his success in the music biz, Dre admits he absolutely lost it on Barnes in 1991 at an L.A. nightclub.

He says, "I was out of my f**king mind at the time. I f**ked up. It's a major blemish on who I am as a man."

He's apologized publicly for the beating before, but to be honest -- that came right before "Straight Outta Compton" was released ... and many saw it as a PR move.

This one -- which includes an intense warning about domestic violence -- seems genuine.

Brandi Glanville Quit Making a Stink, Joanna!! 'Smelly Vagina' Just Part of the Deal

Published | Updated

Brandi Glanville had carte blanche to criticize or poke fun at Joanna Krupa's genitals ... at least that's what Brandi claimed under oath.

Brandi was deposed in the infamous smelly vagina lawsuit filed by Joanna -- and told Joanna's lawyer ... she "didn't say anything that I knew to be false." You'll recall ... Brandi made the vajayjay claim during a 2015 'Watch What Happens Live' appearance.

According to the depo transcript, obtained by TMZ, Brandi also said you get what you sign up for when you're on a reality show. Joanna's lawyer asked, "Do you think that means you can say things like her pu**y smells?" Glanville replied, "Well, yeah."

Brandi also reiterated her claim the 'Housewives' contract bars cast members from suing each other. She insists being on the show means dealing with "the good, the bad and the ugly that comes along with it."

She wants the court to toss Joanna's defamation suit like it's day-old fish.

OKC's Andre Roberson $14 Tip On $500 Bill After Signing $30 Mil Contract!

Published | Updated

Andre Roberson -- the guy who just signed a $30 MILLION contract with the OKC Thunder -- left a $14 tip on a nearly $500 restaurant bill ... just hours after inking his new deal.

For real.

Here's what we know ... Roberson and 12 of his friends hit up Chupacabra Cantina in Austin, TX on Wednesday -- downing vodka Red Bulls, vodka sodas and Long Islands.

We're told Fly Dre and his crew seemed to be having a great time while rackin' up the $487.13 tab.

Problem is ... when time came to collect the check, dude left just $13.97 ... that's less than 3%.

Also, Roberson was trying to make the final bill an even $500 -- but miscalculated the math (it's okay, it happens).

Roberson went to social media to plead his case ... claiming he didn't feel like he needed to leave a tip at all because he only bought 1 bottle and "there was no service."

'RHOA' Show Gives Kenya Ultimatum Your Husband or Your Job

Published | Updated

Kenya Moore's facing an impossible situation -- put her extremely reluctant husband on 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' or get fired from the show.

Production sources tell us, producers have told Kenya the only way she'll survive on the show is if they can chronicle her relationship with husband Marc Daly. The problem ... former banker Marc doesn't want on the show, because he has big problems with the way 'RHOA' portrays black men.

We're told Kenya has argued the show hired her, not her husband. There's no mention of him in her contract. What's more, she told producers she's waited 46 years for a loving relationship which she now has, and doesn't want to jeopardize it.

Our sources say her plea has fallen on deaf ears. We're told producers have essentially given her an ultimatum -- either get Marc on the show or she'll be phased out.

There's one other complication. We know Kenya wants to get pregnant and is undergoing IVF treatments, and stress decreases the likelihood of success. And she's made it clear ... she's stressed out.

Rob Kardashian Posting Nude Chyna Pics Probably Did NOT Violate Revenge Porn Law

Published | Updated

Rob Kardashian's revenge against Blac Chyna -- posting pics of her vagina and breasts -- would seem to violate the revenge porn law ... but that doesn't seem to be the case.

As we reported, Rob believed Chyna was cheating on him and he went on the warpath, not only posting the pics but after they were removed ... he reposted them.

In California there's a 2013 law which states ... "A person who intentionally distributes the image of the intimate body part of another ... knowing they'll cause emotional distress" is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail.

You would think it's a textbook case of revenge porn, but there's a rub. Chyna "liked" the pics on Instagram, so it's hard to argue she suffered emotional distress.

What's more ... the law says in order to be convicted there must have been an understanding the images would remain private. "Liking" the pics does not seem consistent with keeping the pics private.

And one more thing ... we're told the would-be victim -- Blac Chyna -- would never go to the cops and file a police report.

Rob Kardashian, Blac Chyna War Over Beating, Cheating Allegations

Published | Updated

9:18 AM PT -- Rob's photos of a naked Blac Chyna have been taken down for the 2nd time today. He originally posted 3 pics of Chyna naked (2 of 'em allegedly post-op), which were taken down by IG. But he put them up again soon after ... and had them taken down once more.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are at war ... she's claimed he beat her, he's claiming she's hooking up with a bunch of guys to torture him.

Chyna claims Rob beat her up and then tried intimidating her to stay quiet or else she'd incur the wrath of the Kardashian family.

Just 2 weeks ago it looked like they got back together, but now it's off the hinges. Rob claims his baby mama sent him a pic of her vagina Tuesday -- as if to entice him -- and then hooked up with a rapper named Ferrari.

Our Ferrari sources say he's been open about his fling with Chyna, so it sounds like Rob isn't dreaming this up. What's more ... Ferrari says he's been hooking up with Chyna for several months, which overlaps with the time she reconciled with Rob.

We're told the trigger for the war is all over Chyna and Ferrari.

Rob is now going wild, threatening Chyna that he'll block her from even seeing their child.

Paris Hilton's Tiny Dog Broker Teacup Dog Broker Accused of Puppy Scam ... But Pooch Co. Calls BS

Published | Updated

Paris Hilton and Kelly Osbourne's broker who specializes in tiny dogs has been accused in a police report of "fraud as result of a scam."

The customer who filed the report tells us she bought a teacup Maltese from Betty's Teacup Puppies for $7,150 May 23, and was assured the pooch would be delivered by June 1. She says time was of the essence because she was giving the dog to her brother who was leaving the country.

The woman says the broker reneged when she called and said the dog was too small to deliver by the deadline. So, the customer demanded her money back the the broker allegedly told her to pound sand.

The broker admits she couldn't meet the June 1 deadline, but tells us her contracts clearly state no refunds ... if you pay for a dog, you get a dog. She tells us she'll gladly send a dog to the disgruntled customer.

10:15 AM PT -- We're told the customer just agreed to take a partial refund from Betty's in order to resolve the dispute.
