LEAVE IT ALONE

Miguel is adamant ... he wants no part in playing Prince in a biopic about the singer ... saying only the man himself could do that.

The singer was at LAX Friday when our photog asked if he'd ever be interested in paying homage to Prince in a movie. It's not a stretch ... Miguel's been compared to the singer a lot in his career.

However, Miguel makes it clear ... only Prince could tell his own life story, there's no way anyone else could do him justice.

TOUGH TO TOP THAT

Nicole Murphy says her ex-fiance Michael Strahan will be a tough act to follow on "Live" ... and the next to fill his chair better be funny.

Murphy, who had a 5-year engagement with Strahan was out with a group at Craig's in WeHo Friday night. Our photog asked who she thought could take Michael's place next to Kelly Ripa ... and while Nicole didn't have a certain person in mind, she did say they gotta make the audience laugh.

As for the unexpected divorce comment Ripa made to Michael on Friday's show, Nicole didn't have much to say ... but you can definitely tell she's still in Michael's corner.

Chyna Mixed Pill Bottles Throw Wrench In Death Investigation

Published | Updated

Detectives in Chyna's death are dealing with a curve ball -- the ex WWE superstar had a knack for mixing up prescription pills, and it's making it hard to figure out what she took before she died.

Sources close to the investigation tell TMZ detectives discovered several full prescription pill bottles near Chyna's body ... many of which contained multiple meds. We're told there were at least 4 different types of pills, plus she also mixed vitamins in the bottles.

As TMZ reported, Chyna's manager worried she had a problem with Ambien and Valium, but it appears she was taking more than just that.

Our sources say the mixing means investigators will have to wait until the toxicology report is complete to figure out what she ingested.

N.W.A. 'Express Yourself' Banned at H.O.F. ... Says Funk Legend

Published | Updated

N.W.A. insulted funk music pioneer Charles Wright by offering him a measly $600 to sample his hit song "Express Yourself" for their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ... according to Wright.

Wright's rep Kimirhochelle Porter tells TMZ the singer felt totally disrespected by the lowball offer, since he usually gets around $600k for samples of his '70s hit. We're told Wright was also pissed because N.W.A. didn't invite him to the ceremony.

Wright -- frontman of the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band -- hasn't been inducted to the Hall himself. We're told he feels snubbed, and thinks N.W.A. should share the spotlight since his music played a big role in their success.

Porter says they're still trying to strike a deal, but tick-tock -- the ceremony airs Saturday night on HBO.

Lionel Richie Hello, Would You Like To Buy My Makeup?

Published | Updated

Lionel Richie wants you to stay pretty all night long -- and that appears to be the hook for the cosmetic line he wants to launch.

The singer launched his new business endeavor last week when his company filed a trademark for "Hello By Lionel Richie."

The copyright covers just about everything beauty related ... cosmetics, face masks, body glitter, bath beads, hair bows, nail polish, etc.

And there's a separate trademark for candles and candle accessories.

Hello ... way better than Brickhouse cosmetics.

Starbucks Sued Again Easy On The Ice!! And Pay Us $5 Million

Published | Updated

Starbucks is shorting cold drink lovers by loading up on ice cubes, and one thirsty Illinois customer's so pissed about it ... she's filed a lawsuit.

The issue, according to docs ... is not getting the advertised amount of beverage. For example, a venti is supposed to be 24 ounces, but the suit says more often you get as little as 14 because "large pieces of ice take up more space."

It's hardly rocket science, but the slighted customer is seeking damages in excess of $5 million.

Starbucks says the lawsuit is absurd because ... "Our customers understand and expect that ice is an essential component of any 'iced' beverage." It says it will gladly remake any beverage for an unsatisfied customer.

Starbucks was also sued last month for hot beverages being grossly underfilled.

Scientology Leader's Father Snapped in Nazi Uniform Son Disowns Him

Published | Updated

The father of Scientology leader David Miscavige appeared on 20/20 Friday night as a victim of his son's wrath, but sources connected with the Church say his dad is the real bad guy.

Church sources tout this pic of Ronald Miscavige in a Nazi uniform, taken a few years back. They also point to several letters sent to a publisher of a book Ronald wrote about his time in Scientology, warning them Ronald was a racist who was not afraid to hurl the n-word. One of the musicians claims one of Ronald's favorite lines was to sing and chant, "There is a n***** in the alley with a hard-on, spread the lard on, rub it in." They say he'd sing it to the tune of the National Emblem March.

Ron's people tell us the letters were sent at the behest of the Church to block publication of the book.

A rep for the church tells TMZ "The behavior exhibited in this photo and described in the letters is an anathema to David Miscavige and was what compelled him to try to find a way to keep his father in check." The rep says David has now disowned his dad.

Ronald has said for several years ... when he quit the Church they hired private investigators to keep tabs on him. A church attorney said it hired the guys, not David ... and didn't even tell him. However, as we reported earlier, cops say when they questioned the P.I.'s, one of them said when they thought Ron was having a heart attack they spoke with David who told them not to call 911 ... just to let him die.
