Shailene Woodley My 'Big Little Lies' Kid's a Tap Machine
Shailene Woodley's son on HBO's "Big Little Lies" stole the spotlight from a bunch of A-listers at a big Hollywood event ... thanks to his happy feet.
Iain Armitage is only 8, but his adorable tap dance routine at Tuesday night's premiere party was all anyone was talking about. Shailene even grabbed a front row seat when he showed off his best moves inside the Hollywood Roosevelt. Kid's got zero fear.
Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern and Zoe Kravitz were also there ... without tap shoes ... so the floor was Iain's to dominate.
BTW -- both his parents work on Broadway, which explains why he's a natural.

Rich Homie Quan Pays Bouncer $60k For Alleged Punch and Run
Rich Homie Quan's paying a big chunk of money to a security guard for allegedly socking him in the face and taking off in a speedboat ... even though he still denies the attack.
Quan settled the lawsuit for $60k on Tuesday. The bouncer's attorneys, Eric and Josh Hertz, tell TMZ ... "That's one expensive punch and hopefully it'll send a message -- to not just celebrities, but regular people -- you can't go around punching people."
As we previously reported ... the security guard at LIV nightclub in Miami claimed RHQ beat him senseless after he turned him away from a VIP entrance.
Despite settling the case, RHQ's laywer, Ricardo Corona, says they're confident they would have won at trial -- and cutting a $60,000 check was simply a business decision.

Migos Gaga Looked Good The Lady Can Still Call Us!!
Migos ain't about to join the Lady Gaga body shamers ... because they know all the hate just comes with being great.
We got the rappers at LAX ... they all think Gaga looked boujee as hell at the Super Bowl, and sent a message to all the trolls out there.
The guys seem cool about not getting a call to join her for the halftime show too ... in fact, they give a pretty clear signal they'd still be down with a future collabo.

Madonna Cops to Adopting Malawi Twins ... Why the Lie?
Madonna now admits she adopted 4-year-old twin girls from Malawi -- something she flatly denied 2 weeks ago when she was in the African nation.
Madonna posted a pic with the girls, Esther and Stella, to announce she'd officially "completed the process" of adopting them. She's now adopted 4 children from Malawi -- she got David in 2006 and Mercy in 2009.
Madonna insisted she was not adopting, and only doing work with her charity last month. It now seems clear she lied in an attempt to keep a low profile until the adoption was stamped and approved ... most likely to avoid the criticism she got after David's adoption.
You'll recall his biological father came forward and said Madonna swooped in to get David after another woman was set to adopt him.
For the record, she now has 6 kids. Your move, Angelina Jolie.

Justin Timberlake 'NSYNC Split is Personal Now ... 'I Cared About The Music'
Justin Timberlake is taking a very personal jab at his former pals in 'NSYNC ... claiming he just cared more about the band's musical image than they did.
Justin says he left the group partially because it was just getting too big ... but also because of some serious creative differences. As he puts it, "I was growing out of it. I felt like I cared more about the music than some of the other people in the group."
In his interview with The Hollywood Reporter he didn't single out Joey, Lance, Chris or JC ... but it's clear he thinks at least one of them just wasn't doing his part.
Well, so much for a 20-year reunion tour.

Jay Z & Jim Jones Epic Beef Is Over ... JJ Signs with the Roc!
Jay Z and Jim Jones just put together the hip-hop deal they said would never happen -- Jim's now part of Jay's Roc Nation empire, which officially squashes a nearly 13 year beef.
Sources close to the "We Fly High" rapper tell us he signed Tuesday with Jay Z and his lieutenants, OG and Ty Ty, to manage all facets of Jim's brand ... music, fashion, acting and more.
Our sources say Jim decided to end the feud with Hova to show other rappers it's possible to cut through the drama, and just make smart business decisions. Pretty amazing truce, considering they've been at each other since JJ sided with Cam'ron over Jay in the 2004 break up of Roc-A-Fella Records.
Jim's repeatedly dissed the Roc and its owner -- while Jay's taken Jim's hits and turned them into diss tracks against him.
Now we're told it's same team, same goal ... ballin'!

Tyga Sued You Got Served ... Then Your Goons Served Me a Beating!!!
Tyga's got lawsuits on top of lawsuits to deal with ... the latest filed by a process server who got beat after handing him some legal docs.
You'll recall Tyga was served as he walked into his birthday party at The Penthouse nightclub in WeHo back in November. The server claims he was assaulted by Tyga's crew.
According to the suit ... the process server was "grabbed, yanked, pulled and choked" by someone in the rapper's entourage. Watch the video ... looks like he might have a case.
The process server claims Kylie's BF green lit the violence.
The suit calls Tyga a minor "celebrity" ... known more for his social life than his music. If the process server is that familiar, he probably also knows collecting from Tyga will be a bitch.
Grammys Featuring Slow Bey
Beyonce is "very pregnant" -- according to a source with eyes on her as she prepares for her Grammys performance -- and the pace onstage will slow dramatically as a result.
Sources connected with the show tell TMZ, Beyonce is in rehearsals for Sunday's show but the routine is changing constantly and the word is she will not lock the performance in until Saturday night.
There will be an elaborate digital screen onstage, which we're told will create movement that will cover the slower pace onstage.
And there are other tricks ... we're told there will be cameos during Beyonce's performance.
One source says Beyonce has made it clear, "She'll be taking it easier than normal."
One thing we know ... the folks producing Coachella will be watching CBS Sunday night, so they can gauge the likelihood of Bey showing up for April's festival.

Scottie & Larsa Pippen Divorce Stalled ... Trying To Work Things Out
Scottie and Larsa Pippen aren't in any rush to finalize their divorce -- in fact, they're trying to get back on the road to love ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Scottie and Larsa tell us the couple aren't calling it quits quite yet, and are currently focused on getting back to a good place in their marriage.
We're told they've maintained contact ever since Scottie filed for divorce -- but just to handle business with their kids ... nothing more. Since then, they've gotten a lot friendlier.
The bottom line ... there's still work to be done to fully mend the relationship ... but both Larsa and Scottie would rather stay together, considering their long history.
The proof's also in the courts. Scottie and Larsa each missed deadlines last month for the divorce process, and by the looks of their last outing, this whole thing might get dropped.
