Rose McGowan is disgusted at the people who posted racist comments about Beyonce and the Dixie Chicks, but she's even more pissed off at the CMA honchos who bowed to the "deplorables" by scrubbing CMAWorld.com of all things Bey and Chicks.

Rose is reacting to the TMZ story ... the CMA bosses panicked when they saw some users lash out against Beyonce and the Chicks in the comment section of the site and on social media ... some calling Bey the n-word and others saying country music is for white folks only.

The CMAs have flip-flopped a second time ... reposting some of the items.

Before Demi Lovato took down Rocky Balboa in a sparring match, she got lessons on how to take down Rocky ... from Rocky.

Sylvester Stallone shared a clip of them practicing a jab sequence -- exactly like Sly does when he's shooting a movie. He gave Demi a handful of cues and choreography for their boxing skit.

Maybe our suggestion Demi could be a good fit for the "Creed" sequel wasn't that far off. Chick's fight game is focused, for sure.

2:45 PM PT -- The CMAs have started repopulating its social media with images of Beyonce and the Dixie Chicks. The images were only posted AFTER they became aware we were working on the story.

Even the Dixie Chicks, who rarely say anything in the media these days, are reacting to the controversy on Twitter.

Those reposted images of Bey on Instagram and Twitter are already getting blasted with comments -- some racist and some in support of Beyonce. We'll say this ... the Beyhive is woke.

The folks at the Country Music Awards don't have the stomach for 4 strong women, 1 of whom is black, because they have scrubbed all references and images of Beyonce and the Dixie Chicks from their website.

The performance of Beyonce's hit, "Daddy Lessons," with the Dixie Chicks was by all rights the highlight of the show. Thursday morning Bey and the Chicks had a prominent presence on CMAWorld.com. But check it out now ... it's gone ... completely.

Sources directly connected with the CMAs tell TMZ, the honchos folded to fans who posted racist and other harsh comments. We're told the honchos were especially concerned about the reaction to Beyonce's support and the support of the Dixie Chicks for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Some of the comments included, "That's right folks. Beyonce performed at the CMAs last night & is on a mission to take country music away from us, hardworking white people!" And, "Beyonce overrated racist n***er bitch."

The comments go on ... "@Beyonce the cop hater? No thanks," and, "What place does @Beyonce who vilifies police officers who keep us safe have to do with #CMAawards50?"

In addition to its website, the CMAs have scrubbed the women from all social media platforms. They did not delete the women from Snapchat ... they only deleted the ladies from CMA accounts where users can place comments.

We're told the CMA people "just want this to go away" and feel it was probably a mistake to invite the 4 women in the first place.

The Chicago Cubs fan who was knocked out cold after Game 7 of the World Series was enough of a hothead recently to get arrested twice ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Alan Anderson was busted by Chicago cops Sept. 10th for the crimes of phone harassment and assault. Law enforcement sources say the alleged victim is Anderson's ex-girlfriend. According to docs, he allegedly called her 160 times and left a voicemail saying, "I am coming for you, I'm bringing brass knuckles for you."

He was arrested at a bar in Chicago. The case is being handled by the domestic violence unit in the prosecutor's office.

He was also busted in March for another misdemeanor case of harassing someone by phone.

Anderson did not want to discuss his arrests -- he has an upcoming court date -- but he did strongly deny he was talking smack with the Indians fan who knocked him out Wednesday night.

He admits he was celebrating loudly, but not in anyone's face, when the Indians fan approached and told him to shut up. He says they argued for a bit, and then the guy punched him out of nowhere. Anderson says he was calmly pleading his case when he got hit, and did not dare him to swing ... as witnesses have claimed.

As we told you, Cleveland PD is investigating.

The only accessory Kim Kardashian's flashing these days is extra hired muscle, which she brought to her sis Kendall Jenner's 21st birthday dinner.

We're told a dressed-down Kim snuck into Catch Wednesday night through a private entrance off the garage, and she was flanked by 3 off-duty cops she hired specifically for the night. Our sources say she dropped about $100/hour for each of them ... plus, each sister's personal bodyguards were also on hand.

There were only about 20 invitees -- including Caitlyn Jenner, Scott Disick and grandma MJ -- in the private room for the party, meaning security guards nearly outnumbered guests. We're told Kim wasn't wearing any jewelry either, as she's been doing since the robbery.

'KUWTK' cameras were inside ... so you'll definitely see Kim on the show -- but for now, she's moving like Big Foot. No one can see her.

J Lo is living proof ... when you take care of yourself you look better. She's also living proof that you'll never look as good as this at 47.

Ms. Lopez posted this pic with the hashtag #loveyourselffirst.

Everybody in the gene pool ... hers.

It's gonna be a very green Christmas for Mariah Carey ... whose services don't come cheap, but Saks Fifth Avenue is happy to ante up a sack full o' cash.

We're told Mimi's wheels up right now and Toronto-bound to help Saks debut its Christmas window displays there. MC's set to sing just 2 songs, but our Mariah sources say she's getting just shy of a million bucks from HBC -- the parent company of Saks and Hudson's Bay.

It ain't her magic number of $50 mil, but we're guessing this will do for now.

We're told one of the songs Mariah's singing is "All I Want For Christmas Is You" ... of course.

#EasyMoney

1:00 PM PT -- HBC's Director of Corporate Communications says the number we were told for Mariah's fee ... is highly inflated.

Hey Cubbies ... still super hungover from Wednesday night's champagne-fueled World Series rager??

Anthony Bordain's got a delicious cure -- and the key is marijuana.

8:55 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has learned the victim was 36-year-old Alan Anderson, and he was transported to a hospital in stable condition. He suffered a cut to his mouth and a head injury.

Anderson regained consciousness and told police and paramedics he'd been in an argument that got physical. He told police he did not want to file a report and even refused medical treatment, initially.

Here's the best part -- we asked Alan how he's doing this morning. His response -- "My head hurts." But he says he's gonna be fine ... "I survived an assault just like my Cubs survived being down 3-1."

Of course he added, "Go Cubs go!"

The biggest hit at the World Series came AFTER the game -- when an Indians fan KO'd a Cubs fan right outside the stadium ... and the whole thing was caught on video.

The two men had been arguing in the street outside Progressive Field in Cleveland when the Indians fan -- in a "Cleveland Against the World" shirt -- threw a haymaker right hook ... knocking the Cubs guy out cold.

The Chicago Cubs fan who was knocked out cold after the World Series was running his mouth to an Indians fan -- and even DARED the Cleveland guy to punch him ... so says the man who shot the video.

We spoke with Chris Vallimont ... who says he pulled out his phone and started to record after he saw the two men cussing at each other right outside Progressive Field.

"The Cubs fan said, 'You guys just blew a 3-1 lead, f**k you.'"

The Indians fan shot back, "Fight me, p****."

The Cubs fan replied, "Hit me now, I dare you."

The Indians fan accepted the challenge and blasted the Cubs fan in the face -- and then immediately fled from the scene while the Cubs fan laid on the ground unconscious ... so says Vallimont.

"He probably didn't move for about 12 minutes."

Cops and emergency personnel rushed to the scene and the Cubs fan was hospitalized.

The Indians fan has still not been identified -- but cops are investigating.

This topless pic of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Vicki Gunvalson has triggered an FBI complaint, and the agency is now looking into it ... TMZ has learned.

The pic was taken in Dublin, Ireland where cast members were on a retreat. Production sources say Tamra Judge took the pic and sent it to other cast members and producers with some snarky comments.

Somehow, the photo ended up on the social media account of a 15-year-old girl, who tweeted it out.

A woman named Rosalie saw the photo and filed a complaint with the FBI, saying "Tamara Judge ... sent a nude photograph of an acquaintance of hers (taken at a small gathering) to a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD girl & asked her to distribute it online in an effort to humiliate & harass one Vicki Gunvalson."

We reached out to Tamra ... sources close to her tell us she didn't leak the photo or in any way facilitate it getting into the hands of a minor.

The FBI is evaluating it but has not yet opened a formal investigation ... law enforcement sources tell us.

As for why Vicki posed topless ... fellow castmate Heather Dubrow was FaceTiming her hubby, "Botched" plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow, and Vicki wanted him to examine her nipples, which she felt were uneven.

Bill Murray unleashed 108 years worth of elation in the Chicago Cubs locker room Wednesday night -- sprayin' champagne, chuggin' champagne and TURNIN' ALL THE WAY UP with the team.

Murray was literally clinking full champagne bottles with players like Dexter Fowler -- and telling all the Cubbies why last night was one of the most special moments in his life.

It's great footage -- and well-deserved.

Congrats!!!

And you gotta love the way Bill ended his night in the locker room -- he's an environmentally friendly reveler.

Kendall Jenner turned 21 with a bang Wednesday night, with a whole bunch of celebs and one of the most inappropriate/hilarious questions to Kylie.

The party started at Catch in WeHo, then moved to Delilah nightclub and almost everyone was there ... Hailey Baldwin, Kylie Jenner, Madison Beer, Big Sean & Jhene Aiko, Will.I.Am, Travis Scott, Vic Mensa, Mr. Brainwash, Scott Disick, Chris Brown, Paris Hilton, Cindy Crawford & Kaya Gerber, Romee Strijd, Kris Jenner & Corey Gamble, Khloe & Kourtney Kardashian & Jonathan Cheban.

No Kim Kardashian sighting -- though it's possible she sneaked in a backdoor -- but back to the point ... listen to the question our photog asks Kylie.

Truth bombs from Charlie Sheen after his Cleveland Indians lost Wednesday night -- "It was exciting for a while, but let's face it ... we f**king lost."

Sheen hit up Barley House in Cleveland to drink his World Series sorrows away with the rest of the Tribe fans ... and once he got a good buzz going, he picked up the house mic and addressed the fans.

"Sorry, we f**king lost."

You can tell he's disappointed -- and takes a shot at MLB for not letting him throw out the first pitch -- but that didn't stop him from raging into the early morning.

Can you imagine the party if they actually won?

The Chicago Cubs are World Series Champions!

Let that soak in ... most of your grandparents, and everyone on Earth younger than them, NEVER could.

No sign of the apocalypse, so far. However, 59-year-old actor Daniel Stern did tearfully recreate his Cubs celebration from "Rookie of the Year" -- in his underwear.

Close to apocalyptic, but mostly good fun. #CurseKiller

And if you've been living under a rock and don't know what the 'Billy Goat Curse' is -- ask Bill Murray. Or just Google it.

Got a feeling Bill's gonna be busy for a while.

The Brothers Osborne were embraced Wednesday at the 50th CMA Awards ... but guess who wasn't? -- Brooks Brothers.

No boring duds for these stars ... it was all glitter and yellow and boots for Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood ... and, of course, Dolly Parton ... who snagged the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.
