Rapper Bankroll Fresh was shot to death Friday night.

Cops say gunfire erupted outside an Atlanta recording studio. The shootout was bedlam ... more than a dozen shell casings were found. We don't know if anyone else was hit.

2 Chainz -- also from Atlanta -- tweeted about the "Hot Boy" rapper's death ... "Man I'm a fan of Bru and always will be, I'm in shock at the moment !! Senseless deaths we just got to stop it, I'm speaking up now."

So far, no suspects, but cops are on the hunt.

Bankroll was 28 years old. RIP.

George Lopez has a message for Donald Trump -- he's no shoe in to win the grand penis prize.

Lopez was at LAX Friday when a photog asked him about Trump's not-so-humble brag about his genitals.

Miles Teller was inspired to act by a high school drama teacher who was so hot, he just had to take her class.

We got Miles arriving at LAX Friday, when our cameraman asked about Beth Bedee, the actor's drama teacher at Lecanto High School in Lecanto, Florida.

Miles fessed up. The question ... did he make a move?

The wild game hunter Miley Cyrus bashed on social media says the singer opened the floodgates -- 'cause now she's getting hit with death threats.

Rebecca Francis says the threats have been nonstop since Miley started reposting pics of Francis posing with big game kills. Miley captioned one of them, "What the f*** is wrong with the human race?" She also shared a pic of Francis posing with Donald Trump, saying she was "scared for our country."

Some of the death threats include, "F******g bitch, I wish I could hunt you" ... and "I hope someone shoots you." Francis tells us she thinks Miley's cyberbullying of her is "way worse than what [Miley] is accusing hunters of doing."

She adds she's had to make her Instagram account private to shield the haters.

Nick Young seems to be taking aim at the LAPD ... except we think he's joking, and he's drunk.

Our photog got the Lakers star Friday night outside the Nice Guy in L.A. Friday night ... and he's clearly feeling no pain.

Nick is all about the men in blue ... scoffing at the importance of that knife on OJ's property, and questioning cops who busted him for bumping loud music in a rental car.

The LAPD cop at the center of the O.J. Simpson knife mystery is a retired, 25-year veteran of the LAPD.

George Maycott was a motor cop for the LAPD, who retired with a clean record in 1998. Two months after Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered in 1994, Maycott shot and wounded a man who rammed his police car during a chase. Maycott was injured and taken to the hospital.

TMZ broke the story ... a construction worker at O.J. Simpson's former estate approached him with the 5" buck knife in 2002. Maycott insists he called the West L.A. Division of LAPD and informed them of the knife, but they said the case was closed and expressed no interest, so he took it home.

Maycott is now 70 years old and fully retired. He insists his sudden interest in putting the knife in an engraved frame had nothing to do with the renewed interest in the case because of the series, 'The People v. O.J. Simpson.' He swears he was not trying to profit by selling the weapon.

Bubba Sparxxx has found his "Mrs. New Booty" and will be tying the knot with former Miss Iowa 2010 Katie Connors.

The couple started dating 2 years ago after meeting through mutual friends. They've rented out Andrew Jackson's Hermitage in Nashville for the big day ... May 21st.

"Save the dates" have been sent out to more than 400 friends and relatives. We're told the wedding will cost around $100,000.

As of now no one's set to perform, but you know booty, booty, booty, will be rockin' everywhere.

Lee Reherman was juggling multiple unfinished TV projects before his death -- but we're told the shows will go on without him.

Reherman -- best known as Hawk on "American Gladiators" -- was working behind the scenes and producing two new shows -- one is a fitness-focused series called "Undercover Trainer."

We're told Reherman was producing a reality show called "Pin-Up Garage" about hot female car mechanics. Lee was working with EP Scott Satin and developing both shows for Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios.

Reherman also co-starred on "The First Family," playing a secret service agent. No word yet on what changes will have to be made -- we're told he's written into every episode for the upcoming season.

It looks like Daniel Craig is keeping his trick to aging top secret!

Here’s a 24-year-old version of the British babe at a photo shoot back in 1992 (left) and 23 years later ... the 48-year-old Bond legend – who celebrated his birthday earlier this week -- on the red carpet at an awards show in Hollywood late last year (right).

Daaaaaamn, Daniel!

The question is ...

The cop who got hold of the knife that was found on O.J. Simpson's Rockingham estate says as soon as he got it he called LAPD, and they said they had no interest in it, and that's why he kept it.

Sources connected with the cop tell us, the officer retired in 1998 and in 2002 was working security on a movie shoot across the street when the construction worker gave him the weapon and told him the story.

We're told the cop called the West L.A. Division of LAPD and spoke with a female officer who was working the desk and explained the story and said the knife was "rusty, dirty and muddy."

The cop says the officer put him on hold for a while and a supervisor came on the line, who said, "This case is closed ... and O.J. was acquitted." The cop says the supervisor then discussed how O.J. could not be prosecuted again because of double jeopardy.

The cop says the supervisor showed no interest in the 5-inch buck knife, so the cop put it in his bag, took it home and put it in his tool box, where it sat for almost 15 years.

As we reported, he asked a buddy at LAPD Robbery Homicide if he could get the case number so he could engrave a frame and encase the weapon. The detective started asking questions, the retired cop explained how he got the knife and you know the rest ... so far.

We contacted several our our sources at LAPD who question the cop's story, saying it's strange if he was really interested in alerting the department that he did not call the Robbery Homicide Dept.

Charlie Sheen is asking for a drastic reduction in his child support because the financial well is now running dry.

Charlie currently pays Brooke Mueller $55,000 a month for twins Bob and Max, but now says his earnings have dramatically dropped. Charlie says he had been raking in $613,000 a month, just from his cut of the "Two and a Half Men" profits. He says he recently had to sell those rights for a lump sum of $26,750,000. He doesn't say what happened to the stash.

Charlie says he now averages $87,384 a month, and last month got a relatively paltry $6,261. He says he now can't keep up, because his monthly expenses total $105,000, and $25,000 is for health care expenses not covered by insurance.

Sheen also says he owes nearly a million bucks in legal fees and credit card debts approaching $600k.

Bobbi Kristina's family and friends will gather Friday night on what would've been her 23rd birthday.

It's a difficult day made even tougher for Bobbi Kristina's family following the medical examiner releasing the autopsy report -- but BK's brother Landon Brown says the family's focus is celebrating Bobbi's life.

Landon tells us Bobbi's friends and family will be gathering at a private residence in L.A. tonight to share memories and talk about the good times. We're told Bobbi's siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles will be there but her father, Bobby Brown, will most likely not be attending.

We're told her relatives in Atlanta have a similar evening planned.

Landon released a song Friday about his sister as a way to honor her memory. He tells us he recorded it in the hospital while he was staying with Bobbi during the months she remained in a coma. Landon says he recorded it next to her bedside, hoping she'd hear the song.

Daniel Cormier says Jon Jones' good guy image is all BS -- claiming Jon privately called him the "biggest p***y he ever met" and told him to "suck his d***."

It all went down at a UFC media event in Vegas -- with DC saying that Jon is a fraud ... and hasn't learned a damn thing from all of his issues outside of the Octagon.

Jon took exception and they went off on each other ... insane.

Sports Illustrated model Kelly Rohrbach does just as much justice to a one-piece as a bikini.

Leo DiCaprio's ex showed off the new "Baywatch" reds while shooting the flick Friday afternoon in Miami ... and it looks like they've added a golden touch to the suit Pam Anderson made famous.

The next 'Bachelorette' has yet to be announced, but there's a strong sign Ben Higgins reject Caila Quinn is getting the nod.

Quinn, who was eliminated from "The Bachelor" on Monday's episode, was spotted shooting something Wednesday around her hometown of Hudson, Ohio. Cameras followed her to local spots including her alma mater, Western Reserve Academy.

She was also seen sitting alone inside a gazebo looking pensively into the distance -- which has all the makings of a classic 'Bachelorette' intro scene.

We're told onlookers were asked to sign release forms to appear on television, and although the crew didn't specify what show they were shooting for ... there are reports Caila is the chosen one.
