Meek Mill in a strip club -- without Nicki Minaj by his side -- is a full party ... and an expensive one too.

The MC hit up ACES Strip Club Wednesday night in Queens, where he was hosting, and as you can see in the video ... Meek was throwing racks on racks on racks. We're told he dropped at least $20k.

He wasn't flying solo ... Meek was rolling with Travis Scott and NBA all-star James Harden.

Check out the clip -- night and day from another strip club trip WITH Nicki.

You gotta feel for Pope Francis -- he went down hard in the middle of Mass Thursday morning in Poland.

The Pontiff appeared to miss a step as he was walking down from the altar. He had a few priests spotting him, and they helped him back to his feet. Honestly, it's a miracle it doesn't happen more often with that long, heavy robe. Somebody cut the guy a break.

Official word from the Vatican -- "The pope is fine."

Amen.

Fergie served up a tall, hot glass of MILFshake -- the perfect DNC after-party, we're thinking.

Fergie performed her new track "M.I.L.F. $" Wednesday night during The Creative Coalition's Benefit Gala in Philly. 41 years old and still a bad mother ...

That's it. She's a mom.

An ICP fan got punched in the face by Shaggy 2 Dope after he broke the cardinal Juggalo rule: don't waste a Juggalo's soda.

A rep for ICP tells us the fight started when a fan wouldn't stop chucking plastic, unopened bottles of Faygo onstage towards the band at their show a couple of weeks back.

For non-Juggalos, Faygo is a cheap, sugary, carbonated soda that's culturally important in the Juggalo world. ICP made Faygo famous by giving fans "Faygo showers" and spraying them with their fav soda.

The rep says Shaggy felt provoked and was only trying to protect himself and his partner in rhyme, Violent J, from physical injury ... so he jumped into the crowd and laid into the Faygo-thrower.

We're told security broke it up and escorted the fan out of the venue.

No use crying over spilled Faygo.

New England Patriots star Julian Edelman may have pulled a Tom Brady ... allegedly knocking up a smokin' hot lady ... and then moving on to date a world-famous supermodel.

The company behind Scrub Daddy -- the most successful product ever pitched on "Shark Tank" -- is accusing a man of tricking customers with a knockoff sponge.

Scrub Daddy says Brian Reaux's attempt to push "Scrub 'N EZ" will confuse faithful Scrub Daddy customers because of the similar name and use of a smiley face ... this according to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ.

In the docs, Scrub Daddy also has beef with Reaux marketing his sponge holder as fitting "perfectly in Scrub Daddy [sponges]."

SD has reportedly generated more than $75 mil since striking a deal with Lori Greiner on the show. The company wants "Scrub 'N EZ" to change its name, and quit using Scrub Daddy in advertising.

Brand new Knicks star Joakim Noah is already taking a bite of the big apple, and it's very, very juicy.

Waka Flocka and Lil Scrappy won't be writing a relationship advice column any time soon, but they have some entertaining takes on relationships.

We caught up with them and their ladies in ATL and asked how they handle spats at home. Check out the vid ... the rappers have hilarious, and very different approaches.

BTW, nice to see Waka back with Tammy Rivera after a short breakup -- and she even dropped a bombshell about Scrappy and Bambi Benson's upcoming wedding.

Ex-NFL star Chad Johnson wants a fresh start in a new pad, and he's getting the ball rolling by selling his sweet Florida crib.

Chad put his 6,824 square foot property on the market this week -- 6 bedrooms, 7 baths in the gated community of Long Lake Ranches in Davie, FL. Check out the gallery for all the high-end upgrades, including ... theater room, built-in aquariums and crystal chandeliers.

He's listing it for $2 million. We're told Ocho's looking for a new pad, but staying in Florida.

The building where Oprah Winfrey gave away hundreds of cars, and Tom Cruise famously leaped on the couch is a big pile of dust now, and from its ashes ... Big Macs will rise.

Harpo Studios in Chicago was demolished this week as O shifts her OWN operation to Los Angeles. McDonald's is reportedly moving in on the old site to build its new headquarters.

She spent 25 years shooting 'Oprah' in that building. Good times. Even if you had to pay taxes on one of those gifted cars in 2004.

Dr. Dre just emerged victorious in the showdown with that guy who accused him of pulling a gun ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the L.A. County District Attorney has already rejected the case for insufficient evidence. As we first reported ... cops say they found NO gun on Dre after searching him Monday at his Malibu mansion.

Our sources close to Dre weren't the least bit surprised by the D.A.'s decision since the whole case was "ridiculous."

TMZ broke the story, a motorist who was blocking Dre's driveway off PCH insisted on making a citizen's arrest, claiming Dre pulled the weapon during a verbal dispute.

With the D.A.'s decision, this guy can officially ... forget about Dre.

The '70s classic "For the Love of Money" should no longer be associated with Donald Trump ... if The O'Jays get their way.

Of course, the song has been the 'Apprentice' theme for years now -- but soul music legends, The O'Jays just sent a cease and desist letter to Trump and Florida Rep. John Mica. The group is particularly upset about a video posted by the congressman praising Donald's involvement in a D.C. real estate deal. The 2014 clip features 'Love of Money.'

Eddie Levert and Walter Williams -- the OG O'Jays ... think the video sends mixed messages because they don't endorse Trump, his agenda or GOP views.

Truth is, the group didn't write the song ... so legally they don't have much say about its use. However, they're more concerned use of the song implies they're down with Trump, and that just ain't the case.

Eddie made that 100% clear when he was on "TMZ Live" last week complaining about "Love Train" being used at the RNC.

Kim Zolciak's daughter, Brielle, could have a career as a TMZ photog ... at least based on this video of her hammering mom with plastic surgery questions.

Kim and the fam were at LAX when we decided to give Brielle a trial run behind the camera -- and she hit up Kim about some pretty obvious changes to her face.

No joke ... Brielle seems like a natural who even hit up stepdad Kroy Biermann about his future in the NFL. But you gotta see his reaction to the grilling ... same for her little bro.

Entertaining brood for sure.

Teresa and Joe Giudice's wedding photos are at the center of a legal battle involving their photographer and a reality TV blog.

The wedding photog, Neil Clipper, is suing a NYC-based blog for using a pic from the Giudices' 1999 nuptials -- a shot he says he took, and the site used without his permission.

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... Neil says he owns the rights to the photo which was used for a 'Before They Were Famous' post on the 'Housewives.'

He included the pic in the lawsuit -- Joe and Teresa looked so young and innocent. Of course, Joe is 4 months into a 41-month prison stint for conspiracy to commit wire and bankruptcy fraud.
