WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?!

Howard Stern returned to the airwaves Monday and he was pretty dumbfounded -- why all the fuss over a day off?

But the shock jock addressed the subject head-on Monday ... clarifying that it wasn't a personal day. It was a sick day.

Not to worry ... it's clear he's fine, since he joked about the bizarre episode.

Mo'Nique Blasts Oprah, Lee Daniels AND Tyler Perry ... 'Y'all Can Suck My D***!'

Published | Updated

Oscar winner Mo'Nique went NUCLEAR on Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry and Oprah ... blaming the trio for her getting shut out of Hollywood -- in not so many words.

The comedian did a standup special Saturday night at the Apollo Theater, and went off about getting blackballed. She insisted that's the wrong term to use. She prefers ... "whiteballed" ... "by some n*****s who had no balls."

Mo'Nique had a falling out with "Precious" director Lee Daniels after she won the Oscar for that movie, and she's made the 'blackballed in Hollywood' claim before. But this is the first time she's lumped in Oprah and Tyler.

She's also never said it this viciously -- "Y'all can suck my d***, if I had one!"

A-Rod and J Lo stepped out Sunday evening heading to Nobu. They were dressed to the nines, but make no mistake ... this is a bad look for Alex.

Yankee greats gathered at the Stadium where Jeter's number 2 was retired. Alex was invited, but his publicist had said he wouldn't be able to make it because he was going to be in Miami celebrating Mother's Day.

The photo shows he was really just ... oh, about 8 miles south of Derek. We've reached out A-Rod's rep, but no word back yet.

First time in history choosing J Lo backfires?

7:30 AM PT -- A-Rod was indeed in Miami on Sunday. His rep says he spent the morning with family, including Mom. We're told he arrived in NYC after 6 PM -- he has to work there Monday -- and went straight to Jennifer's for the dinner.

Penelope Cruz did a quick change -- from brunette to blonde -- for her role in "Versace: American Crime Story."

Penelope's playing Donatella Versace, and showed up on set Monday morning in Miami looking like her usual hot self. Moments later ... she had completely transformed, thanks to the hair and makeup department. Looks like her eyebrows weren't spared either.

Published | Updated

Chris 'Big Black' Boykin's clothing line was in the midst of a comeback ... but his untimely death brought those plans to a screeching halt.

Chris' personal manager, Mark Shin, tells TMZ ... Big Black clothing was strongly considering a relaunch fueled by continuing popularity and demand. The brand had stopped licensing and sales over the last year while strategizing their next business deal.

We're told that effort was put on pause following Chris' death Tuesday. Mark says he was the heart and soul of the brand and there were questions whether it could continue without him.

However, Mark tells us the brand's now considering a small launch with the sole purpose of having proceeds benefit Chris' daughter, Isis.

Mimi and Nick hit Nobu Sunday night for dinner with their twins, Moroccan and Monroe. Makes sense the kids would be with Mariah on Sunday ... the fact Nick joined them just adds to the buzz they're getting back together.

Nick's told us it's just a family thing, but after the trip to Disneyland a few weeks ago, and a string of dinners together -- and not always with the kiddos -- it makes you wonder.

OUT FOR MOTHER'S DAY

Carmelo and La La Anthony put their breakup on the back burner to spend a chunk of Mother's Day together with their son.

We got the exes heading into Neta, a sushi joint in the Village, and there's nothing about the video that screams separated or bitter. Quite the contrary, both 'Melo and La La were straight-faced, but walked in together -- he even held the door for her -- as they entered with 10-year-old Kiyan.

As for where Carmelo will be next Mother's Day? Well, if he's closer to a decision on his NBA future, he wasn't letting on to our camera guy.

Afterward, the modern fam also scooped up some fro-yo. As we've reported ... both are committed to co-parenting Kiyan through the split. Neither has filed divorce docs yet, but our sources say that's a certainty.

Still, shout-out to civilized breakups ... everyone's doing it.

Conan also reminds our photog what the main objective is of all late night talk shows -- it's not what you think. The guy knows what he's talking about ... he's been in the game damn near 25 years!
