Taylor Swift should be super secure in her $20 million fortified NYC penthouse, but it didn't stop an obsessed fan from wreaking some serious havoc.

29-year-old Mohammed Jaffar was hell-bent on getting a face-to-face with the singer, and according to legal docs obtained by the NY Post he was all over her building ... in the lobby and on the roof.

He showed up multiple times over the last few months, hanging out on the roof one night between 10 PM and 2 AM.

He rang her doorbell incessantly ... once for an hour straight.

Jarffar was arrested for stalking and burglary and he's being held on $20k bond.

Paramedics who rushed to the Magic Castle last month after getting a suicide call weren't sure if the figure hanging from a cord was a human or a dummy.

TMZ obtained the 911 call in which you hear the confusion over what Magic Castle workers found. Daryl Easton was hanging with a plastic bag over his head and an electrical cord around his neck. The dispatcher asked the workers if the cord was charged.

Nas had NOTHING to do with Remy Ma's diss track being yanked from the airwaves, and we're told the rapper's pointing the finger at one giant culprit -- Universal Music Publishing.

Sources connected to the rapper tell TMZ ... Nas has no beef with Remy using his beat to diss Nicki Minaj in "shETHER" ... and it was Universal -- which owns the song -- that made a stink after Remy jacked the beat, slapped it on her track and sold it without its permission.

Remy's label may have dropped the ball by not getting the all clear. The track's since been taken off SoundCloud and radio. Sources tell us Remy's been told she can't even perform the track.

We're told Universal sprung into action after "shETHER" hit No. 2 on iTunes ... though we checked and you can still download the track, but that could quickly change.

Nas sources are adamant the rapper would NEVER step into a blistering showdown. In fact ... Nas is a fan of battle raps and appreciates the culture. Nas, of course, had one of the most epic beefs with Jay Z.

Waka Flocka Flame is off the hook for packing heat at the Atlanta Airport ... he was just found not guilty.

Flame was busted in 2014 for having a handgun in his carry-on bag ... but claimed he accidentally grabbed his fiancee's bag at home and brought it to the airport in a mix-up.

A jury reportedly agreed it was an accident and only took 30 minutes to acquit the rapper ... as reported by Page Six. Good job attorney Drew Findling.

Still, he should probably double check his luggage every time he flies from now on.

Sometimes punk kids talking trash need a lesson in respect ... and that's how Faizon Love describes the beatdown he handed a valet in Columbus Airport.

We talked to Faizon about Judge Mathis' advice on how the comedian should handle his criminal case going forward, and he was actually open to it. He still believes he was in the right though because the valet allegedly spit at him.

Love admits he probably could learn some lessons from his airport attack too, but backing down from a fight is definitely not one of them.

It's not often people turn down a chance to knock up a supermodel ... but NFL star Julian Edelman told Adriana Lima he's not ready for more kids and that was one of the main reasons they split.

Richard Simmons is doing "perfectly fine" contrary to reports he's being held hostage by his housekeeper ... at least according to cops.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... LAPD officers went to the 68-year-old's Hollywood Hills home 2 weeks ago for a welfare check ... this after at least one person contacted the cops and said Richard was being held hostage. Our sources say the officers spoke to Richard at length and determined he is of "sound mind and perfectly fine."

The visit comes on the heels of a popular podcast alleging Richard's being held against his will by his longtime friend/housekeeper because he hasn't been seen in over 1,000 days.

Dan Taberski -- host of the “Missing Richard Simmons” podcast -- tried tracking down Richard's brother, Lenny, but reportedly had the door shut in his face. He does however speak to Lenny on the phone and he explains about Richard, "He's not angry with anybody. I don't understand it."

A longtime friend raised the allegations on the podcast last week.

There was a similar concern back in 2015 and cops also did a welfare check and determined Richard was fine and he just wanted to live outside the public view.

Oscar De La Hoya has been hit with 2 misdemeanor DUI charges stemming from his January arrest in Pasadena ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Snapchat's Frida Kahlo filter was exactly as she would have wanted it, unibrow and all, says the organization that worked with Snapchat.

Millions of Snapchat users saw the International Women's Day-inspired filter Wednesday and sent it to friends as a joke. The Frida Kahlo Corporation -- which worked with Snapchat to develop the image -- isn't laughing ... company honchos tell us the brow was her empowerment and legacy.

Kim Kardashian -- the selfie queen -- also got into the Frida action, but Frida's rep, Beatriz Alvarado, says Frida was the OG selfie artist, using her portraits to tell her life story.

Kahlo died in 1954 but it's safe to say she'd be more than proud to see her famous mug on so many millennials.

Jennifer Lopez can put the long, drawn out home sale process behind her now -- she just unloaded her Hidden Hills estate for $9.9 million.

J Lo was in the middle of escrow last week and we've learned a someone locked down the bargain deal on the 9 bed, 12 bath gated mega mansion. The buyer was repped by Emil Hartoonian of The Agency.

You'll recall J Lo first put the crib on the market back in 2015 for $17 mil.

Casey Anthony thinks it would be a blessing if she had another child.

Casey insists she still has no idea what happened to Caylee 9 years ago, and swears it would've come to her during years of mental evaluations -- "I've been tested, I've gone through the psychological evaluations, I've talked about this to the point where I've been in a puddle not being able to talk about it for days afterwards."

AP didn't directly ask her about having a new baby, but she offered this up ... "If I am blessed enough to have another child — if I'd be dumb enough to bring another kid into this world knowing that there'd be a potential that some jackass, their little snot-nose kid would then say something mean to my kid — I don't think I could live with that."

Hunter and Kathleen Biden just turned down the volume on their nasty divorce ... according to new legal docs.

Joe Biden's son and daughter-in-law filed docs Wednesday -- obtained by TMZ -- calling for a stay of litigation in their divorce proceedings ... which means they're putting down their swords until they can "amicably and privately" reach a settlement.

It's a complete 180 from last week when we reported that Kathleen filed docs accusing Hunter of blowing all their money on booze, drugs, hookers and gifts for other women. He fired back with docs of his own demanding any proof SHE had cheated.

The new filing makes it clear they're trying to follow the Gwyneth Paltrow-Chris Martin "conscious uncoupling" playbook ... instead of taking the nuclear option.

Kim Zolciak wants everyone to get their mind outta the gutter -- because her daughter did NOT Snapchat a plea for someone to bang her.

Kim tells us the Snap image of 20-year-old Brielle Biermann that's getting around is full-on FAKE NEWS ... or at least the caption is. She says Brielle really did post the photo, but her caption was "when u steal ur moms clothes."

She says some perv doctored up a new caption -- "still wanna f*** me in this Daddy?"

The only thing not debatable here -- hot top, Brielle. Keep stealing Kim's clothes.

It's the BIGGEST abdominal showdown ever -- Shaq hitting back at Big Show with some stomach muscles of his own ... and TMZ Sports has the video!

After Big Show posted pics of his own gut muscles last month, some people thought Shaq was backing out of their WrestleMania 33 match because he was scared of the 7-footer's impressive physique.

But Shaq tells us, "Big Show is scared. He called me 'fat.' I am PHAT ... Pretty Handsome And Tall."

CAN YOU DIG IT!?!!

This is like a dream ... Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac co-starring on a TV show.

The actors playing the rap giants were on set this week in L.A. for the first day of taping "Unsolved" -- a USA Network show about the investigations into both their deaths. Newcomer Wavyy Jonez is playing Big and Marcc Rose is Pac ... same role he played in "Straight Outta Compton."

Well timed by producers, with Thursday being the 20th anniversary of Biggie's shooting and death.

Bell Biv DeVoe and Lady Antebellum have a serious connection, and they're taking it to the studio ... according to BBD's Ricky Bell.

We got Bell at LAX -- fresh off BBD's killer mashup with LA on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" -- and he was still buzzing about the performance. So much so, he says both groups are planning to keep the party going.

He says they already have the perfect name for their supergroup, but there's just one detail left to hammer out.
