UFC's Dana White Fires Back at 'Uppity, 80-Year-Old' Meryl Streep
JANUARY 2017
Dana White says Meryl Streep is an "uppity 80-year-old lady" who was completely WRONG when she took a shot at MMA during the Golden Globes.
We spoke with the UFC honcho about Meryl's comments Sunday night -- when she was ripping Donald Trump's immigration plans and said if we kick out foreigners, "you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts."
White objects in a BIG WAY -- calling the dig at his sport "stupid" and "uneducated."
We also asked if he thought Meryl targeted MMA because Dana gave a speech for Trump at the Republican National Convention.

Vivica A. Fox 'Black Magic' Partner Bails After 'No Gays' Comment
Vivica A. Fox pissed off the director and producer who made her male stripper reality show possible -- Jean-Claude LaMarre is cutting ties with her after she said gay men aren't welcome at the strip shows.
Jean-Claude put Vivica in his movie, "Chocolate City" ... which led to her spinning off 'Black Magic' into a TV show. You'll recall, she was promoting the show last week on "The Breakfast Club" when she strongly objected to the suggestion gays were coming out to see her strippers.
As she put it ... "Hell no!"
Now LaMarre tells TMZ ... "The comments were out of order, and it does not represent our attitudes toward the LGBT community. All are welcomed." He added, "Vivica speaks for herself not the business or the show."
LaMarre will remain an Executive Producer on the reality show, and made it clear he wants 'Black Magic' to succeed -- he just doesn't want to work with Vivica anymore.

Golden Globes Stars EAT IT In Rain-Soaked Parties
It was a perilous night for celebs who dared make it down a notoriously treacherous driveway during a Golden Globes after-party.
Johnny Galecki and Julianne Hough were among the stars who slipped down the cobblestone at Chateau Marmont ... where WME was hosting.
One guy just eats it bad.
BTW ... it's probably the most dangerous driveway on the Sunset Strip ... especially when you have a drink or 2.

Kim Kardashian Robbery Suspects Caught By DNA, Surveillance Video
OCTOBER 2016
The masked robbers who bound and gagged Kim Kardashian should have watched 'CSI' before pulling off the heist, because they may have been nabbed because they left their DNA behind.
Law enforcement sources tell us cops found DNA from at least one and possibly 2 robbers on the gag they used to silence Kim.
We're also told the surveillance video of the robbers bicycling away from Kim's apartment helped cops in their hunt.
Cops now tell us 17 people in all have been taken in from 5 different cities in France. Three are female ... the rest male.

Donald Trump Fires Back at Meryl Streep She's an 'Overrated' Hillary Flunky
Donald Trump isn't taking Meryl Streep's Golden Globes attack lying down -- he's dismissing her as a Hillary Clinton "flunky."
Streep used her acceptance speech for the Cecile B. DeMille Award to bash the President-elect for his campaign tactics ... especially his infamous run-in with a disabled reporter. The speech got a huge response in the room ... and, apparently, at Trump Tower.
Trump called her, "One of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a Hillary flunky who lost big."
His Twitter reply continued ... "For the 100th time, I never 'mocked' a disabled reporter (would never do that) but simply showed him "groveling" when he totally changed a 16 year old story that he had written in order to make me look bad."
His right hand woman, Kellyanne Conway, has also joined the fray.

Meryl Streep, Donald Trump Billy Eichner Starts Twitter War With FNC's Meghan McCain
Meryl Streep's Golden Globes attack on Donald Trump stirred a lot of emotion, and at least one war -- between Meghan McCain and comedian Billy Eichner.
Billy blasted McCain on Twitter after the Fox News host posted a message disparaging Meryl's harsh critique of Donald Trump, calling her a "f****** moron."
Meghan fired back, saying Billy lived in a "bubble" and was part of the problem between Hollywood and the Republican Party. That only made Billy go off again ...
Billy's known to speak his mind on his game show, "Billy on the Street," where he stops people at random for pop quiz questions ... usually with a celeb in tow. We're guessing Meghan's not a fan.
She never responded after her 2nd tweet, so ... score one for Billy?

Jimmy Fallon The Prompter Really Went Down! No Hard Feelings, Mariah ...
Jimmy Fallon was truly improvising at the start of the Golden Globes Sunday night ... but had to play off a technical issue at the expense of Mariah Carey as a result.
We got Jimmy arriving at Madeo in L.A. after the show, and he confirms it -- that prompter bit was the real McCoy ... even if the Mariah sabotage joke afterward was planned.
It doesn't sound like he meant any harm ... since he plans to "talk" to her soon.

Mike Tyson I'm Training Chris Brown TO KICK SOULJA BOY'S ASS
2017 continues to try to destroy Soulja Boy ... with one of the scariest men in the history of humanity, Mike Tyson, promising to help Chris Brown beat the brakes off Soulja in their celebrity boxing fight.
Mike pledged his allegiance to CB in an Instagram video where he vowed to give Brown the knowledge needed to KNOCK SOULJA BOY THE F**K OUT!!!
Don't feel too bad for Soulja, though ... if you remember, he has Floyd Mayweather in his corner, exactly the guy you'd want if you were trying to avoid a Mike Tyson-style ass kicking.
Looks like this thing is real ... and we can't wait!!!

Michael Keaton Get Over It, Twitter! Yes, I Screwed Up 'Hidden Fences'
Michael Keaton beat himself down for saying "Hidden Fences" instead of "Hidden Figures" while presenting at the Golden Globes ... but he was dripping in sarcasm.
We got Keaton outside Madeo in West Hollywood after the Globes, and he apologized for the flub he made while presenting a best supporting actress award. Truth is, he's not the only one who combined "Fences" and "Hidden Figures" during the evening.
So, Michael was shocked when we told him his mistake was going viral. The tone of his reaction is pretty clear: Get a life, folks.

Tom Hiddleston Blows off Golden Globes Critics Over Sudan
1:45 PM PT -- Hiddleston finally apologized Monday via Twitter for the "inelegant" choice of words during his speech. Hiddleston says he was only trying to salute the bravery of UNICEF UK, Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and World Food Programme, and the children of South Sudan when his nerves got the better of him.
Tom Hiddleston is defending his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes ... a speech that some critics say smacked of "white saviorism."
We got the 'Night Manager' star at the Chateau Marmont in WeHo Sunday night ... where Tom doubled down.
You'll recall, Tom -- instead of calling for peace in the South Sudan -- said he was "immensely proud" his show provided relief to aid workers.
Tom's handlers didn't want him giving our guy an answer ... but Tom took charge.
BTW ... UNICEF gave Tom props after the speech.

Kim Kardashian Multiple Suspects Nabbed by Cops In Paris Robbery
French police have nabbed 16 people and hauled them into multiple police stations in connection with the Kim Kardashian Paris robbery.
The suspects were arrested in 5 different cities and it appears it was a coordinated effort by cops.
Two masked men pulled off the jewelry heist last October at a luxury Paris apartment, but police think it's a much bigger conspiracy.
It's been widely reported the robbers made off with $10 million in bling, but TMZ reported based on rock-solid information the actual figure -- and insurance claim -- is $5.6 mil. That includes a massive ring worth $4 mil.
The suspects can be held for 96 hours before they have to be either charged or released.

Charles Manson In 'Bad Shape' Back in Prison
Charles Manson is back in Corcoran State Prison, and we're told he might not survive his health crisis.
TMZ broke the story ... Manson was taken to a Bakersfield hospital a week ago for significant intestinal bleeding. Doctors wanted to perform surgery, but Manson refused. Late last week he had a change of heart, but doctors determined he was so weak he might die on the operating table.
The surgeons went back and forth, planning the surgery again ... but ultimately cancelled it.
We're told there was nothing more the hospital could do, so Manson was taken back to Corcoran -- largely for security reasons.
As for the 82-year-old prisoner's condition, one source familiar with the situation said, "He's not good. His health is failing."

Nicki Minaj & Meek Mill Birthday Blowup Led to Breakup
Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill broke up after a nuclear fight during her birthday weekend last month ... and it wasn't about cheating.
Sources close to the ex-couple tell us ... they weren't getting along in Turks and Caicos, because he was hanging with friends and not paying attention to her. She went nuts on him, he got pissed and left the island without her, and she said, "Screw this," and ended the relationship. Just that simple.
There are reports Meek had been cheating with a woman named Sonye Rasool and that's what set off Nicki. A source close to Sonye tells us she and Meek hooked up years before Nicki, but she fully denies any cheating. We're told Sonye's about to file defamation lawsuits against several outlets.
We're also told Sonye understands truth is a defense, but she has no fear.
It's interesting ... the breakup appears to be over the small stuff, which makes you wonder if the door is still open.
