Donald Trump's catching a lot of flak over his meat -- since those slabs of beef he called his own, "Trump Steaks," aren't really his -- but turns out he IS in bed with the real owner.

After Trump's victory speech from his golf club in Jupiter, Florida ... critics jumped all over him for bragging about the meat. He referred to Trump Steaks ... a now defunct line of meat he sold in the early 2000s, but reporters on scene noticed the packaging said Bush Brothers -- a FL based meat company.

Bush Brothers confirms it was their product onstage with the Donald, and they didn't know he was going to whip out the meat. But the BB rep added they do a lot of biz with the candidate ... as the exclusive steak supplier to all of Trump's South Florida properties.

Sooo ... he definitely stretched the truth, but the beef is at least Trump adjacent.

Besides, he's got bigger steak issues -- like the fact he cops to ordering his "well done."

Bradley Cooper and his supermodel girlfriend Irina Shayk aren't hiding their relationship anymore ... in fact, they're swapping spit for all to see.

Bradley and Irina finally made their red carpet debut as a couple Tuesday night at the L'Oreal Red Obsession Party in Paris.

It's been a long time coming ... they first began seeing each other last May, but tried to keep things on the hush hush.

Mazel.

Selena Gomez got stuck in an elevator in Paris and sprung into survival mode without panicking ... which is another good reason to be stuck in an elevator with her.

Selena, who's in town for the tail end of Paris Fashion Week, posted a 19-second clip of the emergency. She can be heard telling everyone in the elevator that the talking will deplete them of oxygen ... while looking totally smoking hot!

Tyga's biggest male role model was the rapper he listened to and idolized while growing up ... without his father.

Tyga was at LAX when he explained his recent tweet ... a side-by-side of himself and Tupac, which he captioned, "Dad."

The video is interesting ... we rarely see a serious side of Tyga, but he was straight-faced as he talked about his fatherless childhood.

Speaking of which ... he also gave Rob Kardashian props as a possible stepdad to his son with Blac Chyna.

Some people will do anything to score Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's phone number.

Okay, we doubt that's what actually happened, but the stunning model did get rear-ended Tuesday in Beverly Hills. The accident appeared minor ... especially considering the size of her SUV, compared to the other car.

Rosie exchanged info with the other driver before driving off, but we're guessing her personal cell was not part of the transaction.

Worth a shot.

George Martin, the incredibly brilliant producer of The Beatles who was such an influence on the group he was known as "the 5th Beatle" -- has died.

Martin passed away Wednesday at his home in London.

His influence cannot be understated. When Martin met the Beatles in 1962 he was not impressed ... he felt their music was all over the place, but, as he put it, "They were like plants in a hothouse. They grew incredibly fast."

Martin got initial resistance from John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who wrote the songs for the group, but they quickly grew to trust Martin like a partner. When they were recording "Yesterday," it was Martin who wanted to add a string quartet. Paul didn't get it at first, saying "We're a rock 'n' roll band!" Paul relented, and an empowered Martin added a cello and violin.

Martin's knowledge of technology was inspiration for the group ... best shown in songs like "Penny Lane," "Strawberry Fields Forever" and the crown jewel -- the album, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Paul called Martin "a second father," but all 4 guys revered him.

Laila Ali is the best ... comforting Holly Holm and Conor McGregor while humblebragging LIKE A BOSS about never being defeated in the ring ... and it's awesome.

Lindsay Lohan has landed a mega-rich, Russian boyfriend ... TMZ has learned.

The lucky guy is 22-year-old Egor Tarabasov. He's a Russian heir to a business empire in Yeltsin land.

Egor met Lindsay in London through a mutual friend. They've been dating for 4 months, and it's already pretty serious. He came to NYC with LiLo over the Xmas holidays to meet Dina and the fam.

We're told Egor has the Lohan family stamp of approval ... they think he keeps her out of trouble.

Lindsay's fallen for the dude ... she posted a pic of a faceless guy last week with the caption, "I love him." Turns out that's Egor.

Tarabasov lives in London, where he's starting up his own real estate company, so it looks like Lindsay is staying put.

The shooting death of ex Eagle Randy Meisner's wife just got even more bizarre -- a pair of cowboy boot spurs literally triggered the rifle that killed her.

As we reported ... Lana Meisner was killed while moving the case holding the rifle. Law enforcement sources now tell us there were 2 spurs in the case, and when Lana picked up the case ...the spurs fell and hit the trigger.

Michelle Obama celebrated International Women's Day by busting out a can of spray paint and going to town ...

The First Lady went tagging with famous street artist Mr. Brainwash ... tagging a wall in D.C. with a bunch of hearts in honor of her Let Girls Learn movement for adolescent girls.

Mr. Brainwash and his friend, Josh Rabbany, put together the event with the White House, and even got Michelle to leave her Jane Hancock on the wall. The can of spray paint in her hand might make her street, but her dress was still couture.

Best dressed tagger, ever.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna want you to believe he's in the throes of a crash diet, but get a load of his carbo-load and the booze to help wash it down.

Rob and Chyna hit up Benihana in Encino for lunch Tuesday ... and our Far East sources tell us they wolfed down a "whole bunch of sushi," as they sipped on a couple rounds of sake and mimosas.

Rob's had issues with substance abuse, and Chyna's fresh off a daytime arrest in Texas after getting wasted at the airport.

That said ... it looks like Rob's losing a bunch of weight.

The Benihana diet. Who knew?

Kanye West has created a military-like drill for the mass of sneakerheads on the hunt for Yeezys ... and you gotta wonder if it's worth the incredible hassle.

People are already lining up at 2 L.A. locations for a shipment sneaker blogs speculate will come Friday. If that's the case, the stores will learn this weekend how many pairs they'll each get ... it should be around 60.

Once the stores are notified, the manager of each store will give the first 60 people in line a wristband, which makes them eligible to buy a pair for $350 a pop. But that's only the beginning.

The people with wristbands are required to come back to the store 3 times a day to check in ... at noon, 4 PM and 8 PM. They have to show ID each time. And if they miss even one ID check they're out of the game and the next person in line gets a wristband.

It sounds like a line for losers, but there's an endgame. Whoever gets the shoes will almost certainly resell them for $1,000 and possibly even more.

However, our Yeezy sources say there's not yet a specific release date for the kicks other than "early this summer" ... so maybe the hardcore sneaker heads know something we don't.

A hoverboard company has declared war on Richard Sherman -- claiming the NFL star ordered 54 custom Seahawks colored scooters ... only to screw them over when it came time to pay up.

Balthazar Getty not only sings about the Black Panthers ... he carried the bones of Panther leader Huey Newton in his pocket!

Getty, who produced a music video about the black power group with rapper Kev Hicks, says Huey was a family friend ... so close he actually had his cremated bones.

As for the music video ... Getty says Beyonce's getting a bad rap and his video is also being misinterpreted ... the hoopla is not against all cops ... just bad ones.
