Birdman is doing a complete 180 over Lil Wayne's long-awaited 'Carter V' album ... because he's now vowing it WILL see the light of day.

Baby went on Travis Scott's Beats 1 radio show this week to talk details about the album, and he made one thing clear ... "it's definitely coming out."

Sounds like he's ready to put the legal war with Weezy behind him -- possibly because someone already got their paws on it. It remains to be seen if Wayne wants to squash the beef, and Birdman still didn't mention a release date. So ...

Donald Trump trashed Arnold Schwarzenegger over the debut of the new 'Celebrity Apprentice' ... and it appears to have more to do with the presidential election than the show.

Trump just tweeted Arnold got "swamped (or destroyed) by comparison to the ratings machine, DJT." He goes on, "So much for being a movie star-and that was season 1 compared to season 14. Now compare him to my season 1. But who cares, he supported Kasich & Hillary."

But here's the thing. True enough, Trump scored a rating of around 18 in season 1 of the show, and Arnold's show came in at a 4.9. But what Trump didn't say ... the ratings on his show took a nosedive and in his last season, 2 years ago, he scored right around a 6 rating.

Trump clearly has bad blood ... according to his deal, he actually profits if Arnold's show does well.

Vivica A. Fox is drawing a line in the strip club when it comes to gays and her 'Black Magic' male revue.

Vivica and a couple of the dancers from her new reality show hit up "The Breakfast Club," and things got kinda homophobic when Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy asked if gay guys go to their shows.

Check out Vivica's quick response. Sometimes a simple "HELL no" speaks volumes.

Robbie Williams' homes are like his records ... they make millions for him.

The British pop star just sold his stunning hilltop L.A. estate for $9.9 million to DJ Khaled.

Williams originally purchased the 10,000 square foot, 7 bedroom home for $5.45 million 15 years ago and listed it for $11 mil, so going down on the asking price didn't exactly hurt his pockets.

The mansion -- in the celeb-heavy and gated Mulholland Estates -- is move-in ready with all-white interiors and immaculate bathrooms ... 11 of them, including a Moroccan themed master.

There's also a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, views for days and an elevator accessing all 4 floors.

Robbie's already got another roof over his head. He purchased a $32 million pad in Beverly Hills a year ago.

Serena Williams just showed the world her new engagement ring ... and it's massive.

Williams posted the pic Thursday with new fiance and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian and -- while it's not a super close-up of the rock -- you can tell she's sporting some serious bling.

The couple announced their engagement last week ... but somehow the diamond hasn't seen the light of day until now.

A Grand Slam for Ohanian.

Nicki Minaj won't be single for long if she gets on the horn with her ex-fiance and producer, Safaree Samuels ... who's open to rekindling things, and also throwing major shade at Meek Mill.

Nicki's ex thinks it's about time she dropped the Philly rapper because their relationship was always a better look for Meek than her ... according to a rep for Safaree.

The rep tells us Safaree thinks Meek did zilch to boost Nicki's career. Case in point, she didn't release a single new album during nearly 2 years of dating him. Or, as Janet would put it: what has Meek done for you lately?

If this sounds like a swoop in progress, there's a good reason. We're told Safaree never stopped loving Nicki, and is ready and willing to reopen communication ... if she is too.

Of course, their breakup was kinda nasty ... so it's interesting Safaree would come to her defense. Each publicly accused the other of cheating, and he even dropped several breakup raps.

Olive branch extended?

President Obama is taking a cue from Donald Trump ... he's building himself a wall.

We got photos of construction at Obama's soon-to-be D.C. rental. You also see construction in the garage. As we reported, it will become an office with a bathroom.

We broke the story ... the rental will be home until Sasha graduates so the Obamas needed the property outfitted for the Secret Service and ... it needed more fortification.

BTW ... he's getting a new neighbor. Ivanka Trump and fam are moving nearby to a rental.

At least the landlords know the checks will clear.

The Boy George vs. Vince Neil war on 'Celebrity Apprentice' was VERY REAL and almost came to blows on set ... so says Chael Sonnen.

Jerry Springer carried on his tradition of celebrating Elvis Presley's birthday with a killer rendition of "Love Me Tender."

Jerry hit up Big Al's McKinney Avenue Tavern in Dallas on Thursday -- a couple days shy of what would have been Elvis' 82nd birthday.

It's the fourth year in a row Jerry did his thing on the mic.

The guy who transformed the Hollywood sign into a beacon for stoners has gone underground ... and he's brought enough weed to stay in hiding for a while.

Zach Fernandez -- aka "Jesushands" -- is lying low in an undisclosed location on the heels of his "Hollyweed" stunt. Sources close to Zach tell us he's afraid he'll be charged with a crime.

We're told he's left L.A. and doesn't plan to return anytime soon ... especially after getting a flurry of calls from LAPD. He also caught wind cops were contacting his friends and co-workers too.

LAPD tells us Zach agreed to meet with detectives early this week, but never showed. He's been MIA ever since. Cops aren't exactly throwing out a dragnet because he's only facing a trespassing charge. Translation: they've got bigger fish to fry.

Even though he's on the lam, Zach's getting praise from the pot community and a major gift of green. We're told Tommy Chong gave him the POUND of weed seen in the pic before he left town.

The 'Paul Blart' actress suing Warren Sapp for battery was arrested for DUI just hours after the alleged incident ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Uber's being sued over a rogue driver who allegedly beat the crap out of a passenger and left him for dead in freezing weather.

Joseph Fusco says the ordeal went down back in December when he requested an Uber to take him on a 9 mile ride to his home to Cherry Hill, NJ. In the lawsuit he's filed against Uber, Joseph says the driver refused to drive him there.

Joseph pleaded, but says the driver got pissed, dragged him out of the car and beat him senseless ... breaking multiple bones in his face, knocking out teeth and leaving him in a pool of blood in the cold. He thinks there's surveillance video showing him unconscious as the driver stomped him.

Adding insult to injury, Joseph says the driver charged him for a 28 minute ride -- and Uber has refused to ID the driver for investigators.

Justin Bieber and Usher are off the hook for allegedly ripping off "Somebody to Love" ... the case against them has been officially booted.

A judge just dismissed the lawsuit filed by 2 artists who claimed the singers stole their 2008 song of the same name.

Devin Copeland -- aka De Rico -- and Mareio Overton seemed to be making headway when an appeals court ruled the songs seemed somewhat similar, but the case was sent back to the trial judge who just begged to differ, saying the similarities were "modest" at best and not enough to support a lawsuit.

In case you want to play federal judge, listen and judge for yourself.

He's only been out of rehab for a few hours, but Lamar Odom says he's already thinking about his next professional move ... a new reality TV show.

Odom completed a 35 day stint at a San Diego treatment center on Thursday and immediately hit up Beverly Hills to celebrate with a mini-shopping spree.

He looked and sounded great -- and touted the rehab experience as "life-changing."

We also asked about the Kardashians and his ex-wife, Khloe -- and Lamar told us things are as cool as they can be with his former in-laws.
