Tracy Morgan Walmart Settles its Own Score After Fatal Crash

Published | Updated

Tracy Morgan's car crash is now a thing of the past, because Walmart -- the company that hired the driver who almost killed him -- just got reimbursed -- either in whole or part -- for Tracy's multi-million dollar settlement.

Walmart paid the comedian, and then filed a claim with its insurance company to cover the loss, but the insurance co. turned thumbs down.

The case was headed to court, but we've learned that Walmart and XL Insurance America struck a deal, so the case is over.

As for how much XL paid ... unclear. It's also unclear how much Walmart paid Tracy. Damon Wayans said during an interview his friend got $90 mil, but Tracy's people denied it.

One person died in the 2014 crash. Tracy was severely injured but thankfully recovered.

50 Cent Cops Called for Alleged 'Buck 50' Slashing Threat

Published | Updated

Sources close to 50 tell TMZ, "50 doesn't personally know him however he heard that he was assaulted, as a result of the vlad and Jimmy Henchmen interview that mentioned 50. Mafi personally commented on 50's post, and when 50 saw he was in fact not injured he then deleted the post."

50 Cent made a thinly veiled threat to cut a guy so badly he'd need 150 stitches -- so claims the guy who says all he did was try to interview one of Fiddy's baby mamas.

Courtney "Mafi" Johnson says he booked Shaniqua Tompkins for an interview, and the next day 50 Cent posted a photo of Mafi on his Instagram with the menacing caption: "I have nothing to do with him getting a buck 50 in his face ... now the poor guy has to staple his face together."

Mafi says Fiddy deleted the post after 45 minutes, but the damage was done -- he called police out of concern for his safety and filed an incident report. Cops in Wisconsin, where Mafi lives, say they've looked into it and closed the case.

Mafi says he's meeting with a lawyer to consider his options.

Mark Cuban Talking Trump With Controversial Adviser

Published | Updated

Mark Cuban looks to be cozying up to Donald Trump again, or at least the President-elect's lightning rod of a chief strategist.

The Dallas Mavericks owner and "Shark Tank" star met with Stephen Bannon Tuesday afternoon at the King Cole Bar in NYC's St. Regis. They've done business deals together in the past, but this had to be about politics.

Cuban became a vocal opponent of Trump, but early in the campaign season he supported the idea of the political outsider and biz tycoon running for office.

Trump's taking heat over Bannon's alignment with the "alt-right" movement, but Cuban praised him last month, saying he thought Bannon was smarter than Trump and was playing him like a puppet.

So, olive branch or possible appointment for Mark? Stay tuned.

TMZ has confirmed, London police arrested the 16-year-old for possession of cannabis on Sept. 28th. He reportedly incurred the wrath of neighbors who were bothered by what they believed was drug use in their upscale neighborhood when the boy lives with his dad, Guy Ritchie.

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES

Jim Jones can't decide whether to laugh it off or be pissed about Kanye West's doctor using his name as an alias, but he's sure he deserves an apology.

Jim wasn't laughing about 'Ye's diagnosis -- but he did have a funny idea about how to flip the script.

He might have been flying a little high. Maybe. Okay, definitely.
