Chris Brown cussed out a manager of an NYC gym and spit at the door on the way out after a confrontation during a basketball game.

Sources present at Life Time Athletic tell TMZ ... Chris and his crew were on the basketball court, playing loud music and hurling insults and swear words during the action. We're told members complained and a manager walked over and asked the group to tone it down.

We're told Chris went ballistic, screaming and swearing at the woman. She wasn't having it and ordered them to leave. A witness tells us on his way out Chris spit on the door.

We've reached out to Chris' people ... so far, no word back.

Prez Obama had pretty much every big star who gave him mad support over at his crib Friday night, and it looked super cool.

The guest list pretty much says it all ... David Letterman, Paul McCartney, John Legend & Chrissy Teigen, Robert De Niro, Stevie Wonder, Charles Barkley, George Clooney, Bradley Cooper.

Big breath ...

George Lucas, Meryl Streep, Samuel Jackson, Magic Johnson, Tom Hanks, Rev. Al Sharpton, Jerry Seinfeld, Steven Spielberg, Marc Anthony, Sarah Jessica Parker and Tyler Perry.

Kim Kardashian is up and running again on social media -- and her numbers are pretty astonishing.

Kim jumped back on all platforms Tuesday, blasting out pics, tweets and messages. Our Snapchat sources say in just 24 hours Kim's snaps had 42.8 million views -- nearly setting a record.

Get this ... in a 24 hour span she generated 4 million likes on Instagram.

Most impressive ... her Twitter impressions -- more than 84 million impressions in a single day. To be clear, 84 million people cast their eyes on Kim's Twitter content in 24 hours.

What we really wanted to do was compare Kim's stats to Kylie's, who has been the reigning queen since Kim went MIA. So far, we've been unable to get numbers for Kylie.

Natalie Portman is a trooper ... lugging bags along the street when she's clearly on birth watch.

We got Natalie out and about in Los Feliz Friday, carting her cache from a local bookstore.

It will be the second child for Natalie and hubby Benjamin Millepied.

Can't wait for the birth ... to be honest partly because she's such an awesome actress and we want her back.

Lee Daniels was super introspective Friday night when he elaborated on a comment that triggered a lot of hate ... "I wanted white people to feel good about being white people because right now, there's a lot of hatred going on."

We got Lee leaving Estrella restrauant on the Sunset Strip when he explained his comment. It's not a "pro-white" thing ... it's much deeper.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner pretty much rolled into every paparazzi hot spot in Hollywood Friday night, but it's not a publicity stunt.

Joe and Sophie, who are a thing now, went to the CAA Pre-Golden Globes Party at Catch restaurant in WeHo, and then rolled up the street to dine at Craig's.

Maybe hottest couple out there, right?

A.J. McLean was shaken at a baggage claim carousel 2,500 miles from Friday's scene of slaughter, but his reaction is like it happened at the next carousel over.

We got AJ at LAX and he all but threw up his hands over the shooting at the Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport.

Birdman was "full of s***" when he declared Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter V" was coming out soon, and that's according to Lil Wayne himself.

Our Weezy sources tell us the rapper thinks Birdman needs to stop crowing about the now-mythical album, and start paying about it because there's been zero movement in their legal/financial war.

We're told Wayne heard Birdman saying he's putting the beef behind him, but believes the Cash Money honcho's just trying to "look like the nice guy." Weezy's yet to hear a peep about settling his $51 million lawsuit, and until he does ... nothing changes. As we first reported, Wayne's holding the master recording.

All hope isn't dead. Our Cash Money sources say -- as recently as last week -- Birdman met with Universal Music Group trying to hammer out a payment that will make Wayne happy.

And if there's any doubt he's not happy -- on NYE in Miami, Weezy told his fans ... "If you see Stunna, tell him I said, 'F*** him!'"

Officials have released the injury photos from one of the female battery cases involving ex-NFL running back Montee Ball ... and they're extremely disturbing.

The former Denver Broncos star was arrested on Feb. 5 after allegedly attacking his then-girlfriend at a Hampton Inn hotel in Madison, Wisconsin.

The woman initially told police a heavily intoxicated Ball grabbed her and threw her across the room and she smacked her leg on a table ... leaving a bloody gash and a bruise on the back of her head.

Officers also noticed a bruise on her lip and the woman claimed it was an injury suffered in another recent incident involving Ball.

Donald Trump started a big 'ol war with Arnold, and it's still hard to believe what those lowlifes did on Facebook Live. So we gotta ask ...

Charles Manson's grandson wants a face-to-face with his infamous grandfather while he's hospitalized ... and is worried he may never get to tell the murderer he loves him.

Jason Freeman -- son of Charles Manson Jr. -- tells TMZ he's been working with lawyers to try and get access to his grandfather's bedside in Bakersfield ... but so far no luck.

The driver suing T.J. Miller for getting high and smacking him around might have some visual proof his story's true -- at least the "getting high" part.

TMZ obtained photos of Whip-It! refills the driver claims T.J. left behind. The driver claims in his lawsuit T.J. was super high when he went on a tirade after the 2 got in an argument over Trump.

We broke the story driver Wilson Deon Thomas III claims T.J. was inhaling nitrous oxide from Whip-Its! and became increasingly violent before striking him on his head and shoulder.

The photos show a box of Whip-It! refills and a bunch of empty canisters in the backseat.

Don't let Keke Palmer's wild look distract you from the task at hand ... put your fashion foot forward and see if you can find the differences between these two almost identical snaps.

Britney Spears' BF, Sam Ashgari, barely broke a sweat lifting weights at Muscle Beach, but the same might not go for people breezing through photos of his intense workout.

Sam, who appeared in Brit's "Slumber Party" video, hit the famed open-air weight room in Venice Friday afternoon with his actor pal, Sam Jones III.
