Macklemore I Can't GIVE Away My Nude Bieber Doused in Syrup
Some people buy stocks, Macklemore buys Justin Bieber -- nude with a pancake, maple syrup ... and a boner.
Mack was cruising The Grove (so UN-thrifty) in L.A. when we asked about his now-infamous purchase of a very unique oil painting of Bieber. Here's the thing, he actually thinks he's gonna make money off this thing!
Check out the clip for his financial analysis of Bieber's pancake boner ... and the REAL reason he bought it in the first place. Hint: It was NOT to make money.

Morgan Freeman Mouth-to-Mouth Redemption
Morgan Freeman did not successfully plant one on the First Lady ... which is probably why he doubled down with Marcia Gay Harden.
Morgan and Marcia locked lips Thursday night in WeHo. No evidence of tongue, but it does make you think. The two worked together in the past, and as far as we know they're not a thing ... but they're also single.
Plus, kissing is kinda Morgan's thing. Just ask the First Lady.

NeNe Leakes Less Jokes, More Dudes On One Knee
NeNe Leakes' recent stand-up gig was interrupted by a guy who decided to bust out a seriously raw marriage proposal ... for his gf, not NeNe.
The 'RHOA' star was performing at The Comedy House in Columbia, SC when the smooth audience member handed NeNe a note asking if he could borrow the stage to pop the question.
Normally we think these are lame, but when the guy opens with, "Are we gonna still be f******?" -- it's worth a watch to see how it turns out.

If you recall ... Kylie was gifted a bottom grill by ex Tyga, but like her men -- she's moving on to a new piece.
A source tells us Kylie's new mouth bling was made by Nick Bhindi of Bhindi jewelers.
Normally it'd set the average person back $4,000 and take a week to complete after casting, but for Kylie ... they got it done in 2 days.

Gigi & Zayn We're Done Too!
It's officially a Squad-wide epidemic ... Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik are breaking up.
They've only been together for about 6 months ... and she's 21, while he's 23 -- so breaking up is kinda what you do. However their split comes right on the heels of Squad leader Taylor Swift's with Calvin Harris.
Makes ya think -- is this coordinated?
Neither is saying why they're calling it quits, but a source close to Gigi tells TMZ the writing was on the wall. We're told the fact she never introduced Zayn to her family is "very telling" ... since normally her mom and dad always meet her BFs.
Karlie Kloss' guy is now on notice.

Mark Salling $100k Check Likely Keeps Him Free In Child Porn Case
Mark Salling got a big fat check from his bank Thursday ... payable to the clerk of the court where he is on trial for possession of child porn.
The former "Glee" star clutched a cashier's check for $100,000, made payable to the Clerk of the US District Court.
Although it's possible the check is a fine connected to a plea bargain, the more likely scenario is that it's the bail he's required to post when he appears Friday in court for his first hearing.

Taylor Swift Breakup Calvin Harris Was Just Done ... With the Hollywood Thing
3:50 PM PT -- Calvin just tweeted, "The only truth here is that a relationship came to an end & what remains is a huge amount of love and respect." It's a nice sentiment.
She's still gonna write a song about him.
Taylor Swift is all about Hollywood and Calvin Harris just wasn't feeling it, and that's why they broke up ... TMZ has learned.Sources close to the exes tell us Calvin is all about his music, working out and keeping a low profile. When he started dating Taylor 15 months ago they were keeping things private and not doing public events together ... so, he was cool with the relationship.
We're told once they started doing award shows, parties and red carpets ... Calvin grew more and more uncomfortable. There was no big blowup with Taylor -- we're told Calvin was just honest about his dislike for the Hollywood spotlight.
His goal now is to get back to as low-key a lifestyle as possible, while still doing live shows and recording new music.
As for reports he was intimidated by Taylor's success -- a source close to Calvin calls that "laughable," since he's one of the most successful DJs in the game.
Bottom line, the relationship just ran its course, or as one source put it ... "fizzled."

Prince Death Certificate
TMZ has obtained Prince's
... which lists, among many other things, his official time of death as 10:07 AM on April 21.
That detail is a little misleading -- that's the time he was pronounced dead by paramedics on scene at Paisley Park. It's not the time he actually died ... since it's possible the singer had passed away long before authorities arrived.

Johnny Depp Boozing, Not Fighting At Danish Bar
Johnny Depp is partying overseas like a guy with no concerns -- such as a divorce from Amber Heard or domestic violence allegations.
Johnny and his Hollywood Vampires roadies hit up the Under Masken in Denmark Wednesday night where we're told Johnny was drinking and chatting up bar staff until 4 AM.
Bartender Hartvig Hansen tells TMZ ... the reports Johnny got into a fight with a bodyguard are not true. He says the actor knocked back 3 vodka tonics, with limes -- and a bottle of champagne was passed around.
The Daily Mail got photos of Johnny outside the bar with his entourage. Some people thought it looked like he took a swing at one of his bodyguards, but Hartvig says the pic is deceiving -- Johnny really just has his arm around a chick while he's talking to the guys.
The photos could still be a bad look for Johnny, since Amber's claiming alcohol and drugs fueled the alleged assaults.

Prince Criminal Investigation How Singer Got the Fatal Drug
Prince's death has triggered a criminal investigation over how the singer got the opioid that killed him ... and our sources say it's more complicated than a simple prescription.
Sources connected with the investigation tell us they have known "for a long time" that Fentanyl -- an incredibly potent opioid up to 100 times more powerful than morphine -- was the cause of death.
Law enforcement sources tell us the investigation has focused on the "illicit" possession of the drug.
One law enforcement source would not confirm the basis of the investigation, but mentioned one trigger for a criminal probe would be if a doctor prescribed meds to a third party knowing the drug was going to someone else. We don't know if Rx bottles in someone else's name were found at Prince's home at the time of death.
We're told both state and federal prosecutors are investigating both how Prince got the drug and who facilitated it.
As we reported, authorities already obtained a search warrant for Prince's primary physician. They also executed a search at a Walgreen's pharmacy that filled a prescription for the singer. We don't know if authorities found a connection between the doctor, the pharmacy and the Fentanyl that killed Prince.
If someone illegally prescribed or filled a prescription for a patient who dies as a result of the drug, they could face third degree murder charges and up to 25 years in prison.

'American Idol' Producers Phillip Phillips Is Holding $1 Million Of OUR Money!
Phillip Phillips is deep in the doghouse with "American Idol" ... which says he owes them a ton of cash, and he's been holding out on them for years.
19 Entertainment, which produces 'Idol,' also manages Phillips and the other winners. According to the suit filed against Phillips ... he's not paying up for 19's managerial services. The company says he's withholding about a million bucks -- and they want it now.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, 19 says the 2012 'Idol' champ stopped paying management fees when he filed a 2015 complaint with the Labor Commission -- begging out of his contract, claiming it violated California law.
That dispute hasn't been settled -- it was delayed when 19 filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. The company thinks Phillips should pay up the money now because it still has a valid contract with him until a court says otherwise.
19 is suing Phillips for more than $5 million, saying he also owes for several other deals it has with him. Phillip's lawyer says 19's merely taking advantage of its bankruptcy status to block the singer's fight to get out of his deal.
