Melania Trump says it goes both ways when it comes to Donald Trump and inappropriate behavior with women, because women come on to her husband right in front of her!

Anderson Cooper asked Melania if Trump's words on the "Access Hollywood" tape describe sexual assault, and her response is surprising. She's clearly standing by her man ... and threw shade at the idea women are angels.

One of the happy couples from "Bachelor in Paradise" couldn't keep their hands off each other in Cancun ... and Amanda Stanton's got the welts on her ass to prove it.

Billy Bush and NBC have reached a financial settlement on his "Today" contract ... officially ending his employment with the network after the Donald Trump tape leaked.

Sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations tell us Billy is happy with the final numbers ... which are confidential. As we reported, Bush had just joined NBC's flagship show in August, signing a 3-year deal for $3.5 million per year.

NBC suspended him after the "Access Hollywood" tape came out 10 days ago. Our sources said Bush felt the punishment was unfair because he'd openly talked about the tape in front of his bosses ... and was never disciplined.

We're told he felt like a scapegoat and was cut loose purely for PR reasons.

An NBC memo to staffers said, "While he was a new member of the TODAY team, he was a valued colleague and longtime member of the broader NBC family. We wish success as he goes forward."

There might be a silver lining to Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's divorce ... they'll profit more than $20 million off their Beverly Hills home if they get the $35 million asking price.

TMZ has learned Gwen and Gavin have finally listed their 7 bedroom, 7.5 bath home for $35 million ... not an uncommon price for that part of town.

They purchased the stunning 15,500 square foot pad in 2007 for $13.25 million, and tried to get rid of the property last year as a pocket listing, but it didn't seem to budge. They're now working with realtors Jade Mills and Stephen Shapiro, who were responsible for the Playboy Mansion sale.

As for the home ... it's a modern masterpiece with an infinity pool, hot tub, gym, theater, tennis court, several fireplaces and even has an outdoor kitchen. It's nicknamed "The Summit" because it sits inside a gated community atop of a hill ... which means the place has killer views.

James Franco pulled a Zinedine Zidane on a photographer at a Lana Del Rey concert ... according to the photog who says he suffered the blow.

David Tonnessen says he was snapping photos of Lana at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in 2014 when Franco, unprovoked, viciously charged and head-butted him in the stomach.

According to the docs ... Franco was "smiling, rather demonically" when Tonnessen first spotted him, and then -- with a "blank expression of joy on his face" ... knocked him to the ground.

Tonnessen says he was hospitalized and suffered permanent injuries. He's suing for medical expenses and other damages. We've reached out to Franco, so far no word back.

There's no footage of the incident, but here's Zidane's infamous shot ... just to set the mood.

Melania Trump is backing up the bus over Billy Bush, saying he's the only reason Donald Trump said things like "grab 'em by the p****."

Mary J. Blige's estranged husband is demanding a 6-figure check from her ... EVERY month, while they hash out their divorce.

Martin Isaacs filed for temporary spousal support, and according to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- he thinks $129,319 per month is a nice, round number. His argument is simple -- Mary was the breadwinner during their 12-year marriage and got him used to their lavish lifestyle.

Martin says Mary earned anywhere from $1.5 to $5.1 million over the last 2 years. Remember, he used to be her manager ... and he points out she's currently on tour with an album about to drop. He, on the other hand, has zero income since Mary fired him shortly after she filed for divorce.

Former 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Lauri Peterson left the show years ago to help her troubled son ... but now he's in more trouble with a man he allegedly shot.

The man claims ... at 2:30 AM on June 20, Joshua Waring drove up to the sober living home they were staying at and started honking his horn. Residents came outside and told him to leave, which he did -- but then u-turned, came back and started firing shots at the crowd.

One of those bullets reportedly struck the 35-year-old man in the lower torso. Waring was arrested for the shooting hours later after a police chase and is still behind bars ... facing attempted murder charges.

The shooting victim wants Waring to pay up for his medical bills and all the pain and suffering he's caused him.

Shawty Lo died of blunt force trauma -- but he had painkillers on him when he died, and smelled of alcohol ... TMZ has learned.

The rapper's autopsy report reveals Shawty suffered the blunt force injuries to the head when he was ejected from his vehicle in a car crash last month. The Fulton County Medical Examiner also found a prescription bottle on him labeled "Promethazine" ... which was actually filled with Percocet and Vicodin.

The medical examiner goes on to say Shawty's body bag emitted a strong smell of alcohol when opened ... but the official toxicology results are not in yet.

Here's another doozy ... the medical examiner says 2 females were in the car with Shawty at the time of the crash, and asked cops on scene if they could take a bunch of cash out of his pockets. The cops allegedly let 'em do it ... leaving behind around $16.

The Russell Crowe-Azealia Banks feud is now in the hands of police after the rapper filed a battery report over their fight in his hotel suite.

Sources connected to the case tell us ... Azealia went to Bev Hills PD Sunday afternoon after demanding Russell apologize for the incident, where he physically removed her from the room. We're told Crowe's reps said he wouldn't say sorry, because he insists he did nothing wrong.

TMZ broke the story ... Azealia allegedly made bloody threats during Crowe's dinner party. He bear-hugged her out of the room when Azealia grabbed a glass and cocked it back.

She claims he also choked her, spat on her and used the n-word while 86ing her from the party.

2:48 PM PT -- A rep for TechStyle Fashion Group, which owns JustFab and Fabletics, tells TMZ ... the company finds the claims against it baseless and meritless, and plans to defend itself in court. They add ... "Please know that we take the welfare of our employees extremely seriously and strive to create a happy and healthy workplace."

Kate Hudson's online retailer fired one of its workers for trying to treat a sleeping pill addiction ... so says the ex-employee suing the company.

Talitha Peters just filed suit against Fabletics and parent company JustFab, who she says wrongfully terminated her after a 2-year tenure as an exec ... after her bosses assumed she was addicted to illegal drugs.

In the docs filed by Rosen Saba, LLP -- obtained by TMZ -- Peters says she became disabled after getting addicted to Ambien from work-related issues. She says she eventually needed medical leave to go to rehab, and claims she got it without questions at first.

But when Peters tried extending the absence, she claims Fabletics execs started digging into why she needed it ... allegedly prying for private medical info. On the day she was set to return to work this June, Peters says her boss fired her for made-up reasons.

Peters claims Fabletics discriminated against her disability and retaliated based on faulty intel ... now she's suing for damages.
