French Montana Taunts NYPD During Stop ... 'Black Lives Matter!'

Published | Updated

French Montana got pulled over outside a strip club, and seemed to have Desiigner's recent arrest in mind ... as he joked about his fellow passengers holding anything illegal.

French and a bunch of friends were being driven in an SUV leaving Aces in Queens early Wednesday ... when they got stopped. While recording video, he threw a few verbal jabs at the officers.

He referred to them as "hip-hop cops" (the alleged NYPD unit dedicated to tracking rappers) ... and repeatedly yelled, "Black lives matter." It's unclear why French and co. got pulled over, or if anyone was ticketed.

Watch the video though ... French wanted to make sure no one else in the ride had "some s*** I need to know about."

You'll recall, Desiigner was initially arrested for gun and drug possession. The drugs turned out to be steroids, which did not belong to Desiigner or his crew, and most of the charges against him have been dropped.

Paris Jackson Not Engaged!

Published | Updated

Paris Jackson is not engaged to her rocker BF, Michael Snoddy, despite photos of them both wearing rings on their engagement fingers.

Paris and Snoddy, a drummer for Street Drum Corps, have only been dating a few months, so a proposal seemed unlikely.

We're told Paris gave Snoddy a promise ring, which he wears, but it's nothing close to an engagement ring. It has a Wiccan symbol on it, after all.

As for Paris' ring -- our sources says it's just a ring she wears along with others on different fingers. There was similar engagement buzz around her last bf too ... but again, it just ain't that serious.

Published | Updated

The single life suits Taylor -- way less drama. Less inspiration for songs too, but it's a trade-off.

Lena Headey to Ex-Husband U.S. Schools Suck!! Our Kid Stays In The U.K.

Published | Updated

Lena Headey says she won't be returning her son to L.A. anytime soon -- father's wishes be damned -- because the American education system sucks.

Headey's ex-husband, Peter Loughran, claims in new legal docs Lena agreed to return their 6-year-old son from the U.K. after she was done filming "Game of Thrones" ... but didn't.

Headey supposedly emailed Peter saying she was enrolling their son in a Yorkshire school because the kid was being held back by a subpar American school system.

Loughran insists the deadline for returning the kid was Sept. 5th, so she's brazenly violated their deal and his right to make decisions for his child. She begs to differ, saying he agreed the boy could live with her in England.

Loughran says he hasn't seen his kid in 8 weeks ... Headey hasn't even let them chat on the phone.

The former couple will have a showdown in an American court next month.

Will Forte Okay, Don't Panic ... We Have More Than 10 Secs. to Write 'MacGruber 2'

Published | Updated

Will Forte's still far away from making life-changing inventions out of household materials in "MacGruber 2" ... despite the panic on the Internet.

The buzz started Monday when Will's co-writer and director, Jorma Taccone, tweeted they were working on a "MacGruber" sequel. Jorma even shared a pic of the "Super Duper Rough" script.

Will tried to downplay the hype when we got him at LAX, saying he has at least one other priority -- but then he slipped into character ... so, yeah. GET EXCIT--

Hayden Panettiere Most Expensive Dog Sitter Lawsuit EVER ... Settled

Published | Updated

Hayden Panettiere better think twice the next time she pawns off a couple dogs for 6 years ... at least that's the takeaway after she settled up with her former dog sitter.

You'll recall Tia Brooks sued Hayden back in July in a bizarre case. Hayden got 2 rescues and left them with a dog sitter for 6 YEARS, paying a whopping $119,335.88. Seriously.

But Hayden claimed the dog sitter was a crook, giving the pooches away but pretending she was still caring for them and billing all the while.

Brooks claimed everything she did was kosher and turned around and sued Hayden for the $8,500 balance she said was owed.

We've learned the case quietly settled. They split the doggie in half and Hayden paid Brooks $4,250.

Brooks appeared on "TMZ Live" shortly after filing suit and refused to say where Zander and Xena ended up. As for why Brooks says Hayden left the dogs with her for half a dozen years ... well, it's crazy.

Tokio Hotel Guitarist Run, Run, Run from My Wife ... Files for Scheidung

Published | Updated

Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz doesn't want to love the woman who loves him back anymore -- he's calling it quits with his wife ... TMZ has learned.

Tom, the twin brother of lead singer Bill, just filed divorce docs -- obtained by TMZ -- to part ways with Ria Sommerfeld, with whom he tied the knot a little more than a year ago.

Tom's citing irreconcilable differences, and wants the judge to shut down any request by Ria for spousal support ... we're guessing he's the breadwinner.

Tom and the rest of the Tokio Hotel crew have been making hits in both German and English for years, and it looks like he might have made most of his cash well before getting with Ria last year ... when he toured a bit but didn't put out any new music.

Their letzte tag together before separating was New Year's Eve.

Mary J. Blige My Prenup's WAy More Solid Than My Marriage

Published | Updated

Mary J. Blige wants to make it absolutely clear that her prenup is solid as a rock ... but her estranged husband begs to differ.

The singer's lawyer, Gary Fishbein, filed docs asking the judge to give her prenup the stamp of approval. She's worried because the lawyer for Martin "Kendu" Isaacs has made sounds it's not worth the paper it's written on, calling it "immensely invalid, unenforceable and unconscionable."

Mary says they drew up the prenup on December 5th, 2003 and got married 2 days later. She filed for divorce back in July and asked the judge to block Isaacs' bid for spousal support.

It's pretty simple -- she says the prenup clearly lays out who gets what. If it's thrown out ... it'll be an ugly mess.

Stay tuned.
