Listen up, Kelly Ripa ... your on-air war with Michael Strahan could have a happy ending ... 'cause another NFL star says he's willing to take Strahan's spot in the host chair ... for a fraction of the price.

Kourtney Kardashian is reminding everyone her trunk's fully loaded ... just like her little sisters, Kim and Khloe.

Kourt was hanging with her kids in Miami Beach -- but in her cut-off shorts and white swimsuit it was easy to overlook the little ones.

Big mistake, Scott Disick. Huge.

Ex-49ers defensive lineman Dana Stubblefield has just been charged with raping a mentally disabled woman in 2015 ... and now faces serious prison time.

Officials say 45-year-old Stubblefield -- a 3-time Pro Bowler -- contacted the woman through a babysitter service and had her over to his Santa Clara home for an interview in 2015.

Justin Verlander put a ring on it ... a MASSIVE ring ... and Kate Upton was all about showing it off at the Met Gala in NYC.

Upton hit the red carpet at the event Monday night sporting the boulder on her finger ... and essentially stole the show from all the other huge stars at the event.

Don't worry, Justin can afford it ... he signed a $180 MILLION contract in 2013.

FYI, Upton started dating the Detroit Tigers pitcher roughly 3 years ago ... and they've been inseparable ever since. Upton has said it helps that she's a big baseball fan.

Mazel!

Sam Hunt is the first to admit ... even performing with Snoop doesn't give you an automatic street cred pass!

Sam was leaving LAX when we asked about his awesome Stagecoach performance with the Dogg. Sam has bridged the gap between country and rap in his own music, and seeing him with Snoop and G-Eazy was pretty great.

Sam's the real deal.

Sinead O'Connor is blaming Prince's drug problems on his good friend, Arsenio Hall -- but he says the Irish singer is totally full of it.

Sinead went on the attack, saying ... "Two words for the DEA investigating where (sic) prince got his drugs over the decades ... Arsenio Hall (AKA Prince's and Eddie Murphy's bitch)."

She went on to say on her Facebook page ... she's actually reported Arsenio to the Carver County Sheriff's department, which is investigating Prince's death.

A rep for Arsenio says Sinead's claim is "absolutely false, ridiculous and absurd."

She can thank Prince for writing her biggest hit, "Nothing Compares 2 U" -- but fact is, Sinead was NOT close to Prince ... and she's made other outrageous claims about him. She once alleged he punched her and held her against her will at Paisley Park.

Britney Spears is unhappy under her conservatorship ... at least that's the view of the guy who claims to be her former manager.

We got Sam Lutfi leaving the deposition where his lawyer fired off questions to Britney. As we reported, the judge was concerned enough that Lutfi might try and intimidate her that he ordered them both to sit on opposite ends of the conference table.

Prince's riches might get split 7 ways instead of 6 because a woman is claiming she's entitled to a cut of the late singer's multi-million dollar estate.

Lawyers for Darcell Johnston filed legal docs in Prince's probate case saying she's a beneficiary.

Sources close to Prince's family tell us Darcell is claiming to be a long lost half sister ... same mother, but different father from the singer. We're told some members of Prince's family only learned of Darcell's existence a few days ago.

We broke the story ... Prince didn't have a will, so by Minnesota law his estate should be split equally among his 6 surviving siblings.

As special administrator of the estate, Bremer Trust bank will look into the legitimacy of Darcell's claim, although the court will have final say.

We've reached out to Darcell to see if she had any relationship with Prince. So far no word back.

Kanye West is a blank slate, criminally speaking -- a judge signed off on erasing his conviction for that paparazzi beatdown at LAX.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge approved Kanye's request to expunge the case. You'll recall he pled no contest in 2014 to misdemeanor battery for the incident.

As we reported, Kanye's been a model citizen ever since ... putting in more than the 250 community service hours that were required, and staying on the straight and narrow for his 24 months of probation.

Fetty Wap's son had the best birthday in the galaxy ... shutting down an entire fun center for a 'Star Wars' themed bounce session.

Sources tell us Fetty dropped 5 stacks to rent out BounceU in Paramus, NJ for Aydin's 5th birthday party ... making the entire place VIP only.

We're told around 50 kids showed up for the bash, which included cosmic bounce houses, cotton candy, face painting, balloon twisting, tons of pizza, and a mobile video game trailer.

For dessert ... a two-tiered Stormtrooper cake complete with fondant light sabers.

Lucky his son is.

The rumors have been swirling for years, but now it's apparently happening ... "Space Jam 2" is in the works -- starring LeBron James.

Britney Spears has to sit face-to-face with the man her family says has been haunting her for years.

Britney is in a conference room right now, answering questions fired off by the lawyer for her former friend and self-proclaimed manager Sam Lutfi. Britney's people went to great lengths to keep Lutfi out of the room, arguing to a judge that he intimidates her and she cannot think properly around him.

The judge didn't buy Britney's argument, but did take steps to protect her. According to the order, the conference room must have a long table, with Britney at one end and Lutfi at the other.

The judge also allowed a "surveillance type camera" to record the entire depo, showing the entire room to ensure Lutfi doesn't intimidate or distract Britney. They're also required to come and go at different times, so he doesn't run into her.

Britney's family claims back in 2007 Lutfi was fueling her with drugs. He claims he was trying to get her off meds.

Kim Kardashian's showing off a new accessory that also happens to be directly connected to the woman O.J. Simpson killed.

Kim put on a choker with a cross pendant and went on Snapchat ... where she revealed it was a gift Nicole Brown Simpson gave to her mother.

Of course, Kris Jenner and Nicole were very good friends -- and Kim and her sisters called Simpson "Uncle O.J." when they were growing up.

Unclear what made Kim nostalgic. Maybe she's binge watching 'The People v. O.J.'

Prince did not lose all rights to his music in a billion dollar bet ... according to Prince's estate, which is shutting down that exact claim from a random guy.

Bremer Trust bank, the administrator of the estate, responded to Rodney Dixon's rambling legal filing -- in which he says he won the rights to "Purple Rain," "Raspberry Beret," "Kiss" and every other song Prince ever wrote -- because they had a bet over whether Prince was the Messiah.

Yeah, it sounds crazy, and that's basically what Bremer Trust points out.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, the bank says Dixon's claim is "frivolous," and he would need to have a written agreement to transfer ownership of Prince's catalog. Dixon admits all he has is a "verbal and implied agreement."

That doesn't cut it for the estate ... which wants the court to toss the claim. We've reached out to Dixon, but he hasn't gotten back to us.
