"FIGHT THE POWER" AT THE OSCARS

The Oscars made a statement by playing Public Enemy's "Fight the Power," and now the group has a statement to the Oscars ... they're pissed off.

Group member Professor Griff tells us he thinks the Academy was just paying lip service to black protesters and will go right back to business as usual.

Griff says Public Enemy is all about change -- radical change -- and the Academy's efforts fly in the face of that. He adds, "The show can't claim the blackness of Public Enemy's message."

That said, Public Enemy does not have rights to license the song ... Universal Music does.

So the man wins again.

Mobb Deep's Prodigy Record Label Will Pay 6 Figures ... IF He Tweets

Published | Updated

One half of Mobb Deep and Universal Music have squashed their legal beef, but if Prodigy wants to get paid ... he's gonna have to jump on Twitter.

According to docs, the rapper and Universal's publishing arm reached a settlement -- he had sued for back royalties, accusing the label of skimming revenue from his solo work.

Under the settlement, Universal Music Publishing Group will fork over $153,751.21 to Prodigy's lawyers ... with one string attached. Prodigy must publicly declare the feud is over, with this specific tweet: "My dispute with UMPG was all a misunderstanding. Thankful that we resolved it quickly and happy to be continuing my long-standing relationship with UMPG."

That's over 140 characters, so it'll be a two-parter -- but when you see it, know that Prodigy got paid.

LEO CAN HANG

Leo DiCaprio is the next best thing to a black person winning an Oscar ... according to his now fellow Oscar winner, Jamie Foxx.

Jamie was flying out of LAX when he gave Chris Rock props on hosting -- but more importantly ... he officially declared Best Actor winner Leonardo an "honorary" brother! What exactly makes him black? You've gotta see Jamie's explanation.

It's high, and hysterical, praise from Leo's pal and former co-star. They've come a long way since "Django Unchained."

Rick Ross You Can't Prosecute Me ... Groundskeeper Had Drugs

Published | Updated

Rick Ross just got indicted in the alleged pistol whipping of his groundskeeper, but TMZ has learned his attorney thinks there's no case here ... because Ross was acting in self-defense.

Ross' attorney, Steve Sadow, gave the court a heads up he believes Ross should be immune from criminal prosecution because the groundskeeper was committing felonies on Ross' property -- which means the rapper would be within his rights to beat up the man.

Ross has claimed Jonathan Zamudio, the groundskeeper, was partying with cocaine and drug paraphernalia in the guest house of Ross' Georgia estate.

Sadow says he will make the case that Ross was "acting in self-defense and in defense of his property when he encountered trespassers."

A grand jury handed up several charges last week ... including kidnapping, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm while committing a crime.

Oscars Girl Scout Skit $65k Not Raised ... Scouts Honor

Published | Updated

Chris Rock made it look like his battle cry raised a fortune for the Girl Scouts ... sadly, it did not.

A Girl Scout rep tells us they sold around 500 boxes of cookies at $5 a pop. That comes to $2,500 ... far short of the Oscar tote board revealing a grand total of $65,243.

A rep for the Scouts tells us the $65k number was just a joke ... for the skit.

It's possible some of the audience members ordered boxes that would be delivered at a future date.

And it looked like the beneficiaries of the loot were the troop in which his daughters -- Lola and Zahra -- are members. Turns out the money is going to a different troop ... the one based in Inglewood, CA. His daughters are members of a New York-based Girl Scouts troop.

Nonetheless ... still a good night's work for the Girl Scouts.

Kate Winslet is not pregnant, she just has a nice felt dress.

Photos have been circulating showing Cate Blanchett and Brie Larson chatting with Winslet during Sunday night's Oscars ... and Blanchett appeared to be touching Winslet's belly, which is woman code for "OMG YOU'RE PREGNANT! THAT'S AMAZING!"

But a source close to Winslet tells TMZ the "Titanic" star is not with child, she was simply showing off the material on her dress to the ladies.

False alarm.

Michelle Rodriguez Yeah, I Shaved My Pits ... But NOT Just for Oscars

Published | Updated

Michelle Rodriguez was all cleaned up for Oscar night -- specifically in the armpit area -- and she's blaming her smooth look on peer pressure.

The notoriously unshaven star attended the Vanity Fair party Sunday night, and flaunted her freshly-shaved pits. At first glance, you'd think she cleaned up because it's a fancy schmancy event -- but she set us straight Monday morning at LAX.

M-Rod says she was feeling the heat long before she slipped into her Oscar night gown, and she doesn't seem happy about it.

We say ... if it makes you happy, Michelle ... let it grow!
