Attorney General Jeff Sessions admits meeting with Russian officials during Donald Trump's campaign, but won't resign because he says there was no convo about the election.

Sessions insisted he did not lie under oath during his confirmation hearing -- he just misheard the questions about whether he'd met with Russian reps. He went on to say the 2 meetings he had with the Russian ambassador had nothing to do with politics.

Sessions said he would recuse himself "whenever it's appropriate," and if there is any existing or future investigation into the Trump campaign's contact with Russia.

Miles Teller thinks PricewaterhouseCoopers is doing right by not firing the employees responsible for the Best Picture screwup, and for one solid reason.

We got Miles and his hot GF, Keleigh Sperry, Thursday at LAX. When our photog told them the PwC employees won't be allowed back at the Oscars but get to keep their day jobs ... Miles breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the Academy recruiting a new accounting firm -- Miles whipped out the ol' "I'm just an actor" card. Well played, sir.

Jennifer Lopez is in the middle of closing a deal to sell her Hidden Hills estate -- and she settled for a way lower price than she originally wanted 2 years ago ... TMZ has learned.

J Lo's 9 bed, 12 bath gated mega mansion is currently in escrow with a buyer repped by Emil Hartoonian of The Agency ... who we're told got it for around $10 mil.

She moved in back in 2010, and first listed the place in 2015 for about $17 mil. The property's gone on and off the market since, and dropped in price as well.

Now, it looks like J Lo might finally seal the deal with the help of her real estate agent, Brett Lawyer. Remember, she just swooped a sweet new pad in Bel-Air last year ... so, it's high time to dump the other spot.

Joe Biden's daughter-in-law, Kathleen, has filed for divorce ... but long after she told her husband to leave the family home.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Kathleen claims she and Hunter Biden formally separated in October 2015, and they've been living separately ever since. She says in legal docs she asked him to leave July 5, 2015, "due to his conduct the night before." The docs go on to say they had a prior agreement, if he engaged in the conduct in question he would leave.

She doesn't describe the "conduct," but does say it "creates situations that are unsafe or traumatic for the parties' children, and his judgment is frequently impaired."

She also says in the docs ... Hunter spent lavishly on his own interests including, "drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations." Kathleen says his habits have depleted their funds available to pay legitimate bills -- and adds they've maxed out credit cards, have double mortgages on 2 properties, and more than $300k in unpaid taxes.

Kathleen wants their temporary spousal support to be $20k per month for herself, and $5k per month for Hunter.

The October filing date is significant because the separation occurred just 2 months after stories surfaced Hunter was allegedly caught up in the Ashley Madison scandal ... something he denied.

The divorce docs were filed last December. Hunter is now involved with Hallie, the widow of his brother, Beau, who died in May 2015 from brain cancer.

She's asking for sole physical and legal custody of their 1 minor child. They have 3 kids, and 2 are adults.

He's asking for joint physical and legal custody.

CATCH OF THE YEAR?!?!?

NY Mets infielder Luis Guillorme showed off some insane hand skills when he caught the bat that flew out of the hands of a batter ... without even flinching!!

It all went down Thursday while the Mets were playing the Miami Marlins -- Miami's Adeiny Hechavarria took a hard cut and lost the bat which went flying at the Mets dugout.

Add Teyana Taylor to the list of smokin' hot women to peel on that classic red swimsuit -- but her version shows way more ass-ets than Pam's ever did.

Teyana was part of a "Baywatch" themed photo shoot down in Miami, and went with red hair to complement the swimwear. Between TT, Ashley Graham and Niki Taylor -- who still looks phenomenal -- who gets to be C.J. Parker?

They should wrestle for it.

Mr. T damn near popped a vein breaking down why bodyguards aren't supposed to know how to dance ... which only fired us up more to watch him on "Dancing with the Stars."

We got the bodyguard-turned-actor Wednesday in NYC, and he explained why the rhythm never got him back in the day, and still hasn't. T just ain't about that life.

So, why is he doing 'DWTS'? Check out his plan to conquer.

Tom Hanks doesn't want the White House press corps sleeping on Donald Trump, so he took precautions to prevent just that ... with espresso.

ABC White House correspondent Karen Travers thanked Hanks Thursday for the brand new espresso machine he sent for her colleagues in the West Wing.

Tom attached a note, telling the press corps to "keep up the good fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Especially for the Truth part."

We know what it looks like, but ... Tom also did this during Dubya and Obama's administrations.

Stay woke!

Selena Gomez staked her claim on The Weeknd with a serious this-is-MY-bf kiss on his cheek ... which we're sure had nothing to do with you-know-who being in town too.

Selena packed on the PDA Tuesday after his concert in Paris. But the "Starboy" singer was also performing at Wednesday night's H&M fashion show, where his ex, Bella Hadid, was doing her model thing.

Potentially messy? Sure. But Weeknd belted out "Nothing Without You" as Bella and Gigi Hadid strutted, and there was no drama apparent to the naked eye.

For the record, Selena was NOT at the H&M show.

Xscape got their fans all juiced up when they announced they were getting back together, but you're gonna have a hard time seeing them ... so far, anyway.

Sources close to the group -- Kandi Burruss, Tiny Harris, LaTocha and Tamika Scott -- tell us the radio reunion on The Big Tigger Show in ATL only happened because Kandi and Tamika put an 18-year-old beef to bed ... but there's a lot more to do before they perform together.

We're told they're in the very early stages of making new music, and there's no tour booked. Not yet, anyway. The ladies are working on a possible biopic though, and planning performances at special events.

BTW, the beef was over Tamika accusing Kandi of getting with Jermaine Dupri's father. Almost 20 years later, all signs point to more hummin' comin atcha ... eventually.

Bella Hadid's idea of fashion show after-party -- topless chicks! Tastefully done, of course, in a Paris strip club.

Bella, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin and a gang of other models slipped into the Pink Paradise Wednesday night after walking in the H&M show. Not shockingly ... this looks like way more fun than a fashion show.

You can't sit with them -- but you can give 'em lap dances!

That's how we're gonna imagine the evening went, anyway.

Kim Zolciak has more going on than NeNe Leakes ... so if 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' producers want her back, they're gonna have to drop serious coin -- that's according to Kim, of course.

We got KZ rushing to catch a flight out of LAX, but she took the time to make it clear she's down for a return to 'RHOA' ... if the price is right.

She and NeNe both make cameos on the season finale of 'RHOA' -- and as we've reported, producers desperately want them for the landmark 10th season. But Kim says it won't be easy, or cheap, to land her.

O Canada! Your PM is sooo hot!!

Ridiculously hot pics of young Justin Trudeau show he was way more fit to be a god than Prime Minister.

The Internet is rightfully losing its collective mind over these shots of JT from back in the day when shirts and sleeves were optional.

We'll shut up now so you can resume drooling.

The Oscars fallout is getting scary for the PricewaterhouseCoopers employees responsible for the Best Picture debacle -- they're in such fear for their lives, their bosses have hired security to protect them.

Sources connected to the firm tell TMZ ... PWC decided bodyguards were necessary for Brian Cullinan, Martha Ruiz and their families because of death threats they've received after their role in fumbling the Best Picture and Best Actress envelopes.

Some of the social media threats included, "You f****** idiot, i will f*** you every day" ... and "I hope you get fired and get cancer."

We're told PWC felt pictures that surfaced online of Ruiz and Cullinan's homes made it clear something had to be done to watch their backs.

Ariana Grande never loses her cool in the middle of a performance ... even when creepy dudes crash her stage and get rushed by security.

Ariana was putting on a show Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly, where some bro somehow got onstage and slowly crept his way toward her through the fog.

Security swoops in quick and yanks him away, yet stopped short of getting cops involved.

But watch how Ariana plays off the scary situation in the moment ... true pro.

Nancy Kerrigan says she's been kept WAY out of the loop by the producers of the new Tonya Harding movie ... telling TMZ Sports, "Nobody consulted me."
