Deion Sanders is adamant his teenage son, Shilo, did NOT beat the crap out of a high school staffer back in 2015 and says he believes security video will exonerate him.

Disney is acknowledging it may need signs around its properties warning of a hidden danger ... alligators.

A VP for the mouse says, while the beaches remain closed, Disney is reviewing its protocols, including "the number, placement and wording of our signage and warnings."

As we previously reported, Disney resorts in the area have "no swimming" signs posted, but no warnings of alligators ... despite the fact that numerous alligators have populated its lagoons.

It's almost certain the family of the boy who died will sue Disney, but a change in signage would not be admissible to show negligence on the part of the Resort. Courts don't want to discourage companies from improving safety.

Calvin Harris is putting on a good face ... even if he's hurting inside.

The superstar DJ stepped out Thursday in L.A. and said he's aces with Taylor Swift's new relationship with Tom Hiddleston. Check out the vid ... Calvin tries to play it cool as the ex.

On the surface he's putting on a happy face ... but as TMZ reported he's actually PISSED it went down and dirty.

Michael Jordan's lawyers can stand down ... 'cause ScHoolboy Q says he's NOT using the famous Crying Jordan meme as the cover art for his new album.

FYI, Jordan is fiercely protective of his image -- so, when Q dropped the album art on Twitter Wednesday -- everyone wanted to know if he somehow managed to get MJ's blessing.

Amber Heard never went to London for her costume fitting this week -- which is why her lawyers said she was unavailable for a deposition -- because she says the production crew felt she was too skinny, having lost 20 pounds because of what she says is overwhelming stress.

TMZ broke the story ... Johnny Depp's lawyer wanted to take her deposition in the domestic violence case, but ultimately the judge accepted the word of her legal team that she had to go to London for the fitting and would not get back until Thursday night ... the evening of the scheduled court hearing.

We got this pic of Amber in West Hollywood shot Wednesday, and turns out she never went to London. Her people say the trip was cancelled because the producers didn't think she was camera-ready for the role ... because of her weight.

Amber's team says they were never given proper notice, but Johnny's team says that's BS ... Amber's lawyers represented she was not in town, and she was.

Lil Wayne says his latest round of seizures were not triggered by sizzurp ... he says it all emanates from a chronic condition -- epilepsy, and the medications he takes to control it.

The rapper's private jet was forced to make 2 emergency landings earlier this week because he hadn't been taking his meds and had several epileptic attacks on the plane.

As for why he wasn't taking his Rx ... Wayne's rep tells us he went to a pharmacy in Milwaukee where he was performing but they didn't have the medicine in stock. He thought he could do without it for a few days, but he was wrong.

TMZ broke the story ... people who were at the club tell us Wayne was drinking "massive amounts" of sizzurp before the seizures started.

As we previously reported, Lil Wayne returned to the stage just 2 days after he was released from the hospital.

Amber Heard is calling out Johnny Depp and his people, saying it's absolute horse manure she wants to settle her domestic violence case, and she says Johnny's putting that out there because he's terrified about what she'll say on the stand.

As we reported, sources connected with Johnny are asking for a continuance in the domestic violence hearing, scheduled for Friday. They say it's all because both Amber and Johnny want to end their legal war ... which includes the divorce, domestic violence claims and everything else.

But our Amber sources say they have never expressed any desire to settle the domestic violence case, and they believe this is all being spun by Johnny and his team because they know her testimony about domestic violence will be devastating for him.

Kim Kardashian is adamant her father did NOT use a Louis Vuitton bag to smuggle a murder weapon or bloody clothes out of O.J. Simpson's home ... claiming she personally inspected it with her own eyes.

A month before splitting with Calvin, Taylor Swift had eyes for Tom Hiddleston ... or so it seems.

Check out this pic, taken May 1st, at the end of a pre-Met Gala dinner at Anna Wintour's house. Tay seems to be peering in the direction of an unsuspecting Tom, who's jawboning with Idris Elba.

Tom did a radio interview not too long ago (above) where he strongly suggests Taylor made the first move ... at the May 2nd Met Gala.

As we reported, we're told Calvin believes his ex and Tom were together weeks before they called it quits on June 1st.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard both want to end their war and settle everything connected with their relationship, so Johnny's lawyers are requesting the courtroom battle set for Friday be postponed.

Sources connected with Johnny say Amber and Johnny will now discuss a mutual agreement in which both agree to stay clear of each other. In addition, we're told they will settle all matters involving their divorce, including property settlement and spousal support.

As we reported, Amber asked for $50k a month in spousal support for her 15-month marriage. We're told Johnny might be agreeable to pay her for a period of time -- probably around 8 months.

A settlement would involve all possible claims each might have against the other. Translation ... Amber couldn't file a civil suit for the alleged domestic violence ... something Johnny has denied.

Omar Mateen showed extreme signs of aggression years before his deadly attack.

TMZ has learned when Mateen was just 14 years old, he had a violent outburst in the middle of a math class. According to docs, without any provocation, Mateen lunged at a classmate ... repeatedly striking him in the head. Mateen continued the beating until a teacher physically intervened.

Mateen was charged with criminal battery. He was also charged with the crime of disruption of educational institutions. He was placed on probation, sentenced to 30 hours of community service and ordered to write a letter apologizing to the victim.

Christina Grimmie's killer was on a mission to make himself so appealing she couldn't resist him, and when it didn't work he changed his plan to kill her ... this according to his former co-workers.

Various people who worked with Kevin Loibl tell TMZ his infatuation with Christina was boundless. He went on a mission to change his appearance for her and, toward the end, got hair transplants and Lasik eye surgery. He also went vegan to lose weight.

He would also listen to her music at work and vow she would someday be his wife.

Loibl's Best Buy co-workers say he went to one of Christina's shows in March and hinted that he actually met her. The co-workers also say the Geek Squad killer claimed to have played online games with the singer. A source close to the singer, however, tells us Christina never had contact with Loibl.

And there's this. The co-workers say they teased Loibl that he would never score because Christina had a boyfriend ... her producer. That relationship was never public, but pictures of Christina and the guy together on social media made it pretty clear ... they were together. We're told that enraged Loibl.

That rage was vented last Friday after Christina's show, when he shot her in the head and then killed himself.

Kim and Kanye gave Mickey and Minnie Mouse a break when they rolled through Disneyland Wednesday ... because all cameras were trained on them.

It was North's 3rd birthday and going to Disneyland to celebrate is kinda a thing.

Scott and Kourtney were there too with Penelope and Mason, so it was quite the attraction for everyone who thought they'd be bored waiting an hour to get on Space Mountain.

We doubt Kim and co. had to wait for any rides.

A little boy was wading in the lagoon at the Disney's Grand Floridian Resort -- in the exact place where an alligator put a 2-year-old in a death grip -- just 30 minutes before the attack.

Jennifer Vendetti and her son, Channing, went to the lagoon around the same time Lane Graves arrived. It appears Jennifer was okay with her son wading in the lagoon, despite the sign that warned people not to swim. Fact is ... he wasn't swimming -- he was wading.

As TMZ first reported, there were no signs warning of alligators, despite the fact that alligators populated the lagoon, and other resorts specifically warned guests of the reptiles.

A website that makes money selling serial killer memorabilia is going dark in the wake of the Orlando massacre.

Serial Killers Ink has been in the game since 2009. Its stock in trade includes art, letters, photos and other personal items that belonged to infamous killers. A Charles Manson inmate card will cost you $850.

The site's owner, Eric Holler, says the time isn't right "to market violence."

Stacey Dash has a solution to gun violence that is the polar opposite of President Obama's -- arm the public to the teeth.

We got Stacey at LAX Wednesday and she said without hesitation ... if people at Pulse were armed there would have been less carnage.
