Matt Lauer says Oprah joining "60 Minutes" on CBS is great ... for CBS.

We got the NBC "Today" host in NYC Tuesday, where we asked if O joining their rival network was good for competition.

Theresa May is unfazed by an anti-Trump petition that has swelled in size ... the Prime Minister's Office tells TMZ the U.S. President is more than welcome to visit.

The petition -- circulating in England -- calls out the prospective State visit as something that would greatly embarrass the country and the Queen. It's grown in size from a few hundred a couple of weeks ago to over 1.5 million.

May's office tells us the petition will have no impact on her decision to invite Trump to the UK. May, we're told, views the petition as a form of protest which she believes is healthy, but she's unmoved.

Derek Fisher told police someone broke into his L.A. home and stole more than $300,000 worth of valuable jewelry ... including his 5 NBA Championship rings ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the NBA legend reported a burglary at his home Monday morning -- telling police he left the home at 7:30 AM and when he returned 3 hours later, it was clear someone had been inside.

We're told officials believe the perp got into the house through a side door -- and went for his jewelry. Among the stolen goods was Fisher's 5 NBA rings he won during his run with the Lakers. They're each worth a ton of cash.

Our sources say other jewelry was taken as well.

The LAPD is currently investigating. So far, no arrests have been made.

Dr. Luke is FURIOUS after finding out Kesha texted Lady Gaga alleging he raped another artist ... and now he's fighting back.

Dr. Luke filed docs asking a judge to let him add a defamation claim in his legal war with Kesha after he says his team found out she texted Gaga alleging there's another rape victim.

In the docs, Dr. Luke says the text is proof Kesha's on a "malicious campaign to destroy" his reputation and career. To be clear, the texts in question don't specifically name Dr. Luke but he believes the insinuation is far too clear.

One of T.I.'s bodyguards took a knife to the leg during one of his boss' shows ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... T.I.'s bodyguard got shanked Monday night at least 3 times in one of his calves during a show Tip was putting on at a club in Moncton, New Brunswick.

We're told cops got a call around 1:20 AM from The Venue, where a 23-year-old male had reportedly been stabbed during a ruckus that broke out while the guy was guarding a table selling T.I. merch.

He was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, and was released later that night. We're also told cops spoke with T.I.

Monday's show was T.I.'s last in Canuck country. We've reached out to him for further comment ... so far, no word back.

Asia frontman John Wetton died Tuesday morning in his sleep after battling cancer ... according to the band.

Wetton was a fixture in the '70s and '80s British rock scene, playing with bands like King Crimson, Roxy Music, and Uriah Heep -- but his biggest popularity came when he formed the supergroup, Asia, in 1981. The group is best known for its huge hits "Heat of the Moment" and "Only Time Will Tell."

Wetton eventually left the group and worked on solo projects, but later returned for some of their final albums. He was 67.

#RIP

The Kardashians got a knock from a narc before officially touching US soil.

Kourtney, Kris, Kylie and Tyga returned after a short trip in Costa Rica but had to deal with U.S. Customs agents getting a look inside before getting the all clear.

It's standard procedure for Customs to do their thing after international flights ... but the visit comes on the heels of a controversial travel ban.

Nick Viall is 5 weeks in and something cray is happening on "The Bachelor" -- 3 black women are still in the running, and at least one is becoming a fan fave!

Rachel kinda killed it on Monday night's episode, by all accounts ... doing a sexy NOLA date with Nick, who copped to falling for her during dinner.

Not that we see color, but fact is the 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' shows get knocked for black contestants never getting a fair shake. Lawsuits have been filed over it, after all.

Nick's been equal opportunity -- he kicked off 3 black women, but 3 are still getting roses.

Yes we can, America. Yes we can.

Oprah Winfrey has just signed a deal with "60 Minutes," and it's sure looking like she's making CBS her second home.

Winfrey will become a special contributor on the long-running news mag. She started as a local reporter in Baltimore before beelining it for Chicago where she became queen of the world in talk.

Oprah's role will be similar to Anderson Cooper, who does about 10 segments per season for "60 Minutes."

It's interesting ... she hosted a CBS special on Michelle Obama last month, and she appears on "CBS This Morning" with best pal Gayle King.

She was also on the CBS lot in L.A. a few days ago.

James Cromwell is done giving Donald Trump a chance ... less than 2 weeks after the inauguration the actor thinks our only salvation is if Trump throws in the towel.

Rob Lowe is in the market for a personal assistant, and the job qualifications are daunting.

Rob posted the job description on a website targeting personal assistants. Among the requirements:

-- Never assume anything

-- Ensure the CLIENT [Rob] is fed and has coffee throughout the day

-- Schedule haircuts every episode for the CLIENT

-- Ensure that the CLIENT HAS A DINNER PLAN IF ARRIVING HOME LATER THAN 8 PM in the evening

-- Make sure you let Estate staff know if the CLIENT wants a Jacuzzi turned on or a massage ordered for his arrival

-- Willing to travel on location as requested and serve as the CLIENT'S body man

-- Able to lift up to 25 pounds as required to support THE CLIENT

Unclear what weighs 25 pounds.

Rob's team says the description doesn't match any pertaining to employment with him, but adds ... "We can confirm coffee is his number one priority in life."

Our sources insists the gig is with Rob. It pays $70k plus benefits. Takers?

Donald Trump has the wrong idea about black people because he's talking to the wrong black people ... according to a Public Enemy rapper, who's willing to set the prez straight.

We got Professor Griff at LAX, the perfect place to discuss Trump's "Muslim ban" -- and Griff, who is Muslim, absolutely went off. In particular, he's got beef with Trump meeting the likes of "Kanye Mess" and Steve Harvey.

We expected him to be pissed about POTUS, but his ire clearly goes beyond the White House.

Arnold Schwarzenegger showed his true colors Monday after calling President Trump out for making the U.S. look "stupid."

The bodybuilder-turned-movie star-turned-politician was tooling around Venice, CA wearing red, white and blue.

Peyton Manning might not be the only superstar NFL quarterback in Washington ... Drew Brees tells TMZ Sports he's also open to the idea of running for office after he hangs up the cleats.

The 38-year-old QB is like a living God in New Orleans and is incredibly involved in the community -- so, when we saw him at LAX, we asked if he'd thought about politics after his days with the Saints are over.

"It won't be the first thing I do, but I'm not gonna rule it out," Brees told us.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd will be attached at the hip through Grammy weekend -- even though one of them is feeling way more wanted than the other.

The Weeknd has already officially made Selena his plus 1 for Clive Davis' huge annual bash on the eve of the Grammys. Sources connected to the couple tell us Abel's people contacted the party planners within the last few days ... a good sign he and Selena are getting closer during that Italian vacay.

Both are attending the Grammys, but as of now they're not sitting together. We're told Weeknd's putting in a request with The Recording Academy to change that ASAP.

But here's the thing -- Weeknd, a 2 time Grammy winner, is performing during the ceremony. He's one of headliner acts, and all over promos for the event. Selena, on the other hand, isn't performing -- nor was she nominated -- despite her #1 hit, "Hands to Myself."

At least she knows her bf wants her.

Senator John Thune revealed to our photog ... the only place on Capitol Hill where Democrats and Republicans can put aside their differences is in the Senate weight room.

We got the South Dakota Republican at Reagan National Airport Monday and he vouched for NY Senator Chuck Schumer, saying his tears were real because he's an emotional guy, even at the gym.

That opened the door to talking about the super exclusive Senate gym, and who knew this is where political enemies lay down their differences.

And if you believe him, the weights are mislabeled ... because in D.C. it's all about power!!!
