George Jung, the guy Johnny Depp played in "Blow," claims his own manager betrayed him by turning him in to cops for a parole violation ... but the manager tells a different story.

Sources close to the former cocaine smuggler tell TMZ ... Denis Rizzo convinced Jung it was cool for him to travel to San Diego for work by telling him his parole officer had approved. Our Jung sources say the P.O. never really did sign off.

We're told Jung thinks Rizzo pulled the ultimate rat move -- allegedly telling the P.O. to get Jung in trouble.

Rizzo denies any ratting, and in fact, says his own attorney advised it was fine for George to make the San Diego trip -- but George made the final decision to go.

As for why Rizzo would turn in his client, sources close to George claim it's because there's some bad blood there. According to Sacramento PD, Jung filed a police report in October claiming Rizzo forged his signature and tried to steal his money.

Rizzo says he's never been charged or convicted of forgery in his life, and all allegations against him are "baseless."

We're told Jung plans to bring up his manager's alleged dirty trick at his next court date -- but for now he's sitting in jail ... held without bail.

Lena Headey got a HUGE pay raise on "Game of Thrones" and is now making more than $1 million PER EPISODE ... so claims her ex-husband, who's got plans for that extra dough.

Peter Loughran just filed new docs asking the court to make Lena pay his legal fees in their nasty custody battle -- to the tune of $40k. He says it's only fair, since he's jobless and Lena's sleeping on a bed of 'GoT' cash.

It's interesting ... there were reports Lena was set to make upwards of $500k per episode for season 7, but Peter obviously thinks she's making more than double that already.

Pitbull's company is threatening to sue if details of his sweet deal with the state of Florida get out -- but the state's Speaker of the House refuses to be bullied.

State Rep. Richard Corcoran is suing Mr. Worldwide's company over his contract to be a celebrity tourism ambassador for the Sunshine State. Corcoran says Pitbull got "significant compensation" from FL when he signed the 2015 deal, but the amount was kept under wraps.

Corcoran says Florida's Congress was in the dark, until the company turned over the contract with one caveat -- if its "confidential trade secrets" were leaked, Pitbull could sue.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Corcoran wants the veil of secrecy lifted so legislators can work on the state's budget -- including tourism expenditures -- without worrying some singer is going to sue them.

If the walls of Nicki Minaj's Turks & Caicos birthday rental could talk, they'd whisper something about Kylie Jenner's ass celebration on the same $35 million estate.

Nicki's been there with her mom and several friends celebrating her 34th. We're told Meek Mill was there too, but left early.

If you look past Nicki's body, you might recognize the house ... since this is where Kylie had her 19th birthday party in August. She got the pad comp'd through Airbnb, but we're told Nicki threw down major stacks to stay there. The going rate is about $10k per night for 3 oceanside villas.

One look at the place, and even that steep price feels worth it.

Bill Gates took the trek to Trump Tower Tuesday to kiss the ring.

Gates was the latest of the famous folk to visit the President-elect. He was preceded by Kanye West, Jim Brown and Ray Lewis ... all of whom had a chitchat with Donald Trump.

A rep for the Microsoft billionaire tells us he was there to discuss innovation in energy, health and education, and American leadership in foreign aid.

Kylie Jenner's putting one of her empty cribs to good use -- we're told she's renting it out to Rob and Blac Chyna.

The new mom and pop moved into the Hidden Hills, CA home this week, and the reason's simple -- Rob and Blac wanted a bigger pad, and to be closer to Kris and Kim's nearby homes with baby Dream now in the picture.

As TMZ reported, BC's house in Tarzana was supposed to be home base once Dream arrived. But that plan's changed, and we're told Rob's still working out leasing terms with his little sis.

This is the same 6 bedroom, 7 bath spread where Chyna recently posed with King Cairo ... Christmas lights and all.

Check out the Christmas gift that's a guaranteed SMASH hit -- if you let FOX 11's Lisa Breckenridge drive it, anyway.

The KTTV anchor was part of a "Good Day L.A." segment Tuesday about the hottest gift ideas for the season, and she just couldn't resist hopping on a scooter that goes up to 25 mph.

Looks like she got up to at least 20 mph before trashing some pricey studio equipment -- and possibly her face -- on live TV.

Actually, Lisa looked okay in the back of an ambulance afterward. All's well that ends with a hot firefighter, right?

Christina El Moussa's marital status is complicated, to say the least, which explains why the "Flip or Flop" star is going out of her way to keep her wedding ring a mystery.

Paps got Christina out shopping Tuesday in the OC -- the first time we've seen her since TMZ broke the story about her separation from Tarek. She was rockin' freshly bleached roots, running errands and looking pretty carefree. As her shirt says, "Pink champagne can't complain."

She kept her left hand under wraps though ... so, it's unclear if she's still wearing a wedding band.

As we reported, Christina and Tarek are separating after what they call a "misunderstanding." Witnesses called it Tarek taking off into the woods with a gun ... causing a suicide scare.

As we reported ... the show will go on, and the former couple will keep working together. For now.

The wife of Broncos star Emmanuel Sanders is pulling the plug on their brief marriage, despite the fact she's about to give birth to their 2nd child any day ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Gabriella Sanders -- who is due this month -- filed divorce docs in Texas at the end of October, a few days before the couple's 3 year wedding anniversary.

According to the court docs, GS says "the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities," but doesn't say exactly what caused the split.

It doesn't seem pretty, cause the judge gave Gabriella a temporary restraining order to keep the wide receiver away from her and their Texas home until further notice.

The judge did give the NFLer "limited access" to their 2-year-old son and future daughter.

In the docs, Gabriella's also asking for child support and a "disproportionate share" of their assets, because she says the divorce is Emmanuel's fault.

We reached out to his camp, but they had no comment at this time.

1:50 PM PT -- Gabriella had their baby girl Tuesday afternoon, and Emmanuel was there in the delivery room. He posted a pic which makes it seem like they buried their differences, at least for today.

Kanye West had a long-term plan when he asked to meet with Donald Trump ... talk about life during the first meeting, and death on the streets during the next one.

Sources close to the rapper tell us Kanye has been thinking a lot about the violence in Chicago, and wants to use his name to make a difference. The rapper's had a good relationship with Trump, and he's decided to use it to help promote peace on the streets in Chi-town.

As we reported, Kanye didn't raise the issue of violence in his Trump chitchat Tuesday ... the 2 just talked broadly about life. But Kanye plans to deepen the relationship once Trump becomes Prez.

Kanye knows Trump has lots of people in his ear so he wanted a face-to-face to get on the radar now.

Kanye will have the time on his hands to pursue peace in Chicago ... his concerts have been cancelled indefinitely while he stabilizes his life after his hospitalization.

Kobe Bryant's third feat got the triple B treatment.

TMZ Sports has obtained a copy of Kobe and Vanessa's brand new baby certificate and it lists her full name -- Bianka Bella Bryant! She was born at exactly 4:09 PM at Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach.

Donald Trump and Kanye West met for 15 minutes and talked about life ... nothing more, and Kanye left the Prez-elect a souvenir -- an artsy book that includes nude pics!

As we reported, Kanye requested the meeting -- which Ivanka attended too -- and Trump obliged. We've learned there was NO talk about Kanye performing at an inauguration event, and no talk about Kanye participating in any way in the new administration.

As for the book ... it's a compilation of photos, including people wearing hoodies, a display of various tattoos and, yes, some nudes.

Our sources say it will NOT go on Trump's coffee table.

Brock O'Hurn and his legendary man bun are out to prove they're more than just a one-trick pony ... so they're giving ol' St. Nick a totally new, much more beefed-up makeover.

O'Hurn has been tapped to play sexy, shirtless Santa in an ad for Icelandic Glacial Water this holiday season with model Iskra Lawrence. You can see from the pics -- O'Hurn's right in his element -- shirtless with his hair flowing ... with the not-so-subtle addition of a Santa suit.

The ad's plot isn't quite clear, but that doesn't matter ... not like you'll be looking at the water anyway.

Ron Howard might be a pioneer in film and TV ... but he says there's no way he'd want to be one in space.

We got the famous director at LAX, where he told us while he loved making his newest National Geographic mini-series, "Mars," he'd pass on trying to actually terraform the planet ... even if the idea is pretty cool.
