You Might Want to Rethink

Meghan Markle has the exact same skin color as her fiance, Prince Harry -- at least according to LEGOLAND's special display ahead of the royal wedding.

LEGOLAND's Windsor Resort unveiled a new exhibit this week in honor of Meghan and Harry's big day, which is just over a week away. The problem is LEGO Meghan is pretty whitewashed. We all know the real Prince is very fair-skinned ... so there's no way his bride-to-be's skin tone should match his.

Biracial Meghan -- half black, half white -- obviously has tanner skin than Harry, so LEGOLAND clearly missed the mark. Their explanation? Not enough brown LEGOs. Seriously.

A rep for LEGOLAND tells TMZ ... "Our small LEGOLAND figures are not detailed representations of any of the characters and are all built using a limited range of [primary] brick tones."

That's funny, 'cause their figurines of Mel B and Meghan's mom, Doria Ragland, look a lot more realistic, skin tone-wise than Meghan's character does.

Is it the end of the world? Of course not, but interesting choices made by the LEGO artists. Another way to look at this -- LEGO Harry's way too dark!

President Trump is SUPER late on his White House rent -- about a couple hundred grand in the hole, in fact -- according to a new lawsuit. Bear with us ... okay?

A dude named William Feegba is trying to take Trump to court over an alleged landlord tenant breach -- suing the Prez for the 1 full year he's been staying at the White House, and demanding he fork over $240k in unpaid rent at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. at a rate of $25k/month. You read that right ... we couldn't make sense of the math either.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Feegba claims to be a descendant of George Washington, which he seems to think gives him ownership of the WH. Absurd as it sounds, that's his story -- and he's been sticking to it since Jimmy Carter's days ... kinda.

Feegba started filing retroactive suits just last year against every president since 1977 -- and he says everyone from Jimmy to Trump owes him back rent ranging from $12k to $100k. None of the complaints have been successful, btw ... and now it's Donnie's turn.

Only time will tell if he'll collect from 45. No word yet on any potential eviction proceedings.

Lana Del Rey can change her mind at the drop of a hat, as one unlucky sap quickly learned trying to press his luck with a camera.

TMZ obtained video of Lana shutting down a fan's selfie Monday night in NYC right as she was about to snap -- all 'cause the dude tried switching things up last minute.

Eyewitnesses tell us the guy caught Lana heading back to her hotel after the Met Gala, and got a standard photo with her. Then he wanted a selfie, giving her the camera at first ... but then deciding he wanted to hold it himself. She wasn't down for that ... any of it, ultimately.

James Gunn just kinda (maybe) gave away a major spoiler about future 'Avengers' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' movies and the fate of his presumably dead characters ... we think.

We got the 'Guardians' director Tuesday leaving LAX and asked if it's gonna be difficult to make the third installment to his own franchise now that Marvel may have killed off a majority of his cast in 'Infinity War.' BTW, this is a spoiler alert. If you haven't seen it yet ... oh well.

Lucky for you, though, James pretty much spills the beans here without so many words -- sequels are a-comin', and there's a lot more story left to tell. Translation for movie nerds ... Star-Lord and co. aren't REALLY dead, ya dope. They'll probably reintegrate in a year or so.

Cardi B's sticking to an age-old alibi about her entourage allegedly beating the crap out of an aggressive autograph seeker -- if you didn't see it, it didn't happen ... legally speaking.

Paps got Cardi Tuesday night in NYC -- the day after alleged Migos-affiliated goons whooped on celebrity autograph seeker Giovanni Arnold at the Met Gala -- and she played coy when asked about the altercation. More specifically ... she played blind.

As we reported ... Arnold basically asked for the Migos crew to beat his ass after being rejected for a Cardi signature, and they happily obliged. He was sent to the hospital in an ambulance and appeared to suffer minor injuries.

The guy who got stomped by Cardi B's entourage was literally asking for it ... and it's all on video.

The clip starts with Cardi walking out of The Mark Hotel Monday night in NYC, and you hear the guy chirping about getting an autograph. She didn't stop. Then Offset walked out, and the autograph hound started in on him. Offset fired back, "Shut up, bro, before a n***a beat you out here."

That amped things up, and the autograph seeker shouted, "Please beat me up! Be a fool, man." Entourage members took him up on that offer -- at first you just see 2 men punching the hell out of him ... then others joined the beatdown. Offset was not one of the attackers.

The autograph seeker's motives seem pretty obvious. He also yelled, "I'll take all your money" to the security guards.

Yes, that's a lawsuit you smell cooking. And we're sure these photos of his alleged injuries are gonna make it in there, too.

Nancy Grace is heated about Scott Peterson, who she believes has NO shot at rehabilitation ... but she says granting him a new trial would be a travesty of justice.

We got the famed legal analyst Tuesday in Atlanta, and talked to her about Peterson's current appeal ... which could give him a slim shot at freedom. So, we asked Nancy the big 'if' ... as in, IF Scott were released after 13 years in prison -- could he be a reformed criminal?

We barely got the question out before Nancy started going off.

She also thinks Peterson doesn't really give a crap about his appeal, because he's living the high life in San Quentin State Prison.

Nancy had more to say about the chance of his appeal going through, and made a pretty deft pivot to plug her A&E show with Dan Abrams ... "Grace vs. Abrams." They're tackling the Peterson case on Tuesday night's episode.

Good news: MLB star Adam Jones finally got his sweet new pair of Lonzo Ball's Big Baller Brand shoes!

Bad news: HE ORDERED THE SHOES A YEAR AGO!!!

For the record, the Baltimore Orioles star has been a vocal supporter of the Ball family ever since LaVar announced the shoe back in May 2017.

In fact, Jones also ordered BBB's $200 sandals and raved about 'em back in December.

But, Jones also ordered the $495 ZO2 Prime Remix shoe -- and didn't get 'em until now!!!

"I bought these a year ago," Jones said ... "They JUST got here!"

Guessing Jones ordered the original version of the shoe when it was first announced. Remember, LaVar later changed the look of the shoe.

Katy Perry almost didn't make it to the Met Gala this year, all because her ride started acting like an old hunk of junk ... but she had a prayer somewhere there in the engine.

Katy was literally en route (parade style, it seems) to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC ahead of the Gala Monday, when all of the sudden her 1930s-style whip wouldn't start about a block away from the venue. Eyewitnesses say it was working just fine moments earlier.

In the video -- obtained by TMZ -- you see the panic set in as her driver tries a couple times to get it turned on, to no avail at first. Luckily for her ... the third (fourth? fifth?) time proved to be a charm. She got a big cheer from the crowd around her ... and someone even called her "such a babe" and "so hot" in her fallen angel outfit.

Marco Rubio can only shake his head after the Univ. of Florida made headlines for shoving black grads off the stage when they tried to celebrate -- and says his alma mater needs some cultural schooling.

We got the Florida Senator in D.C. and asked him about the debacle that went down Friday after several black grads were pushed by an "inappropriately aggressive" marshal during the ceremony.

Some students danced while others tried to flash their fraternity and sorority signs before the marshal violently intervened ... prompting spectators and social media to accuse the marshal of racism.

Paris Jackson furiously went after a paparazzo for calling her a nickname reserved only for those close to her late father, Michael Jackson.

The encounter went down as she was leaving a Met Gala event Thursday night in NYC ... with an entourage in tow, a throng of fans in the distance and horde of paps waiting to get a shot of her.

Check it out ... one photog tries getting her attention by calling her "doo-doo head," a nickname the King of Pop held for his kids, nieces, nephews and even Macaulay Culkin. The use of the nickname clearly conjured up some deep feelings for Paris ... as she tore into the pap.

It kinda gets worse ... after the encounter, other photogs start referring to her as "apple head," another term of endearment MJ also used for those close to him.

12:40 PM PT -- Vogue just issued a statement to TMZ through its parent company, Conde Nast International, about the controversial cover, saying in part ... "In our latest cover shoot by Steven Klein, the vision was to create a beachwear-themed story with a stylized bronzing effect. We understand that the result has caused some debate with our readers, and we sincerely apologize if we have caused any offence."

Gigi Hadid is issuing a mea culpa for what many fans perceived to be her in blackface on the new cover of Vogue Italia ... even though she's not taking any of the blame.

Gigi posted a statement in reaction to a ton of backlash she and Vogue received Thursday, after she was featured on the magazine's May 2018 cover, saying she had no creative control of the shoot ... including whatever happened to the photo later in editing.

The model admits to getting bronzed up for the shoot -- noting that's the style the photographer, Steven Klein, likes to roll with for projects. She says she was aware she'd come off as slightly darker ... but cops to the ultimate execution being bungled.

Kendall Jenner ripped off a pizza guy and is using his good name for her new radio show ... according to a lawsuit.

Robert Karageuzian is the founder of Pizzaboyzzz, an L.A.-based art collective known for its enthusiasm for pizza and pizza-themed merch, and he claims Jenner has burnt his brand by launching her own project with a similar name -- "Pizza Boys."

Karageuzian claims the trouble for him started in March, when Jenner, DJ Daniel Chetrit and Apple created an Instagram account much like his and even jacked his slogan -- "In Crust We Trust." He claims it led to his original Pizzaboyzzz Instagram getting shut down ... and he had to go through hell to recover the account and get his followers back.

According to the docs ... it was announced a few weeks later that Jenner and Chetrit would host a new show on Beats 1 radio station for Apple Music, called "Pizza Boys Radio."

Karageuzian says Jenner's project has caused massive confusion with his already established brand, so he sent a cease and desist letter on April 16 ... demanding they stop using the similar name.

He says they ignored his letter ... and continue to promote their 'Pizza Boys' show.

The Pizzaboyzzz founder is now suing Jenner, Chetrit and Apple to get them to stop using the similar name, and fork over some dough. Ironically, Karageuzian's Pizzaboyzzz Instagram account features a play on the popular Pizza Hut logo using their own name instead.

We reached out to Jenner ... no word back so far.

Kevin Hart once had a fun guys' night out on the town with J.T. "Action" Jackson -- the guy charged with extorting Kevin in the sex tape case -- and a TMZ photog captured the whole hilarious scene.

J.T. and Kevin were leaving dinner at Philippe Chow back in June 2010 ... and while Kev was anxious to get in his Range Rover and go home, J.T. wanted to clown around and show off his pro bowling card to our camera guy.

Kev eventually got fed up with waiting and bolted. You've gotta see how J.T. reacted. We'll say this -- dude was quick on his feet as he chased down Kevin's SUV.

It was hysterical then, and it shows just how close they were. As we told you, J.T. was charged with attempted extortion and extortion by threatening letter ... both felonies. Prosecutors believe he threatened to release the sex tape shot of Kevin and a woman in a Vegas hotel room.

We're guessing Kevin's wishing he'd ditched JT for real that night, IF he's guilty.

Jamie Foxx tore into TMZ for giving Kanye West a platform to express himself, because he says something's not right with Yeezy.

Jamie was at Employees Only -- a WeHo bar -- and railed on the "TMZ Live" show featuring Kanye. Foxx says he's not about to judge his friend for the slavery and other comments he made and suggests he needs help.

Southwest Airlines had to make another emergency landing when a window tore open during a flight from Chicago to Newark -- but this time the plane got down without any fatalities.

Flight 957 was diverted Wednesday to Cleveland after the window broke -- and a passenger onboard took these photos of the damage before safely exiting.

Southwest says the aircraft is being taken out of service for maintenance review. They've yet to say anything about how or why the window broke.

This scare comes just 2 weeks after another Southwest plane's window was shattered when an engine blew up. The passenger who was sucked out through the damaged window eventually died from her injuries.
