Katy Perry to Taylor Swift Swish Swish, Bish! (Softest Diss Track Ever?)

Published | Updated

Katy Perry ain't playing ... and don't let the title, "Swish Swish," fool you -- it's totally a diss track about Taylor Swift. Or at least that's what her fans want to believe.

Just a sample of the viciousness:
Your game is tired,
You should retire
You're 'bout cute as
An old coupon expired
And karma's not a liar
She keeps receipts

And the chorus:
Swish, swish, bish
Another one in the basket
Can't touch this
Another one in the casket

Death blow! Okay, Tupac and Biggie it ain't. But pretty decent response to "Bad Blood."

Katy's not copping to "Swish Swish" being about Taylor, but c'mon. She even has Nicki Minaj -- who's had her own beef with Swift -- on the song.

Chris Cornell Wife Says Drugs May Have Triggered Suicide

Published | Updated

Chris Cornell's wife believes her husband's death was actually caused by an overdose of Ativan and that if he took his life he was not in his right mind.

Vicky Cornell confirms the story we broke Thursday ... that she spoke with Chris twice hours before his death and he was not suicidal ... not even depressed. Vicky says when she spoke with Chris before his Detroit concert they discussed vacation plans over Memorial Day.

She says after the show when they spoke, she noticed he was slurring his words, and that's when Chris told her he "may have taken an extra Ativan or two."

The family lawyer is not ready to concede Chris' death was suicide, and says the toxicology tests may provide the key. The lawyer notes Chris was a recovering addict and, "The family believes if Chris took his life, he did not know what he was doing, and that drugs or other substances may have affected his actions." He adds Ativan can cause paranoid or suicidal thoughts.

Anthony Weiner Likely to Become Registered Sex Offender In Plea Bargain

Published | Updated

Anthony Weiner has struck a deal in a criminal case in which he allegedly sent obscene texts to an underage girl, and the likely result is that he will become a registered sex offender.

Weiner is due in federal court Friday and will plead guilty to one count of transferring obscene material to a minor. He could get 10 years in prison or no time at all ... it's in the hands of the judge.

Law enforcement sources say Weiner texted a 15-year-old North Carolina girl, who did not want to press charges because she believed the texting was consensual.

As you know, when the Feds seized Weiner's computer they found Hillary Clinton emails that triggered a second investigation by James Comey, an investigation that ended up going nowhere but may have had an impact on the election.

Michael Rooker name dropped Mary Poppins in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" and little did he know it would start a revolution.

We got Yondu out at LAX Thursday and asked him about the adoring love he's getting since blurting the fictional character in the insanely popular super hero action flick.

For the uninitiated ... Michael in 'GOTG2' uses his signature arrow to float down, prompting him to say, "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!!" That line's taken off in the Disney-sphere, to the point fans have started a petition to get Michael a cameo in the upcoming 'Poppins' sequel.

Gotta hand it to Michael for running with the fascination cause he even hunted down Poppins at Disneyland and snapped a pic with her.

But at this point, it's up to the Disney honchos. Y'all listening?!

Alan Thicke Widow Claims Robin and Brother Want Pot Farm on Dad's Ranch

Published | Updated

Robin Thicke and his brother, Brennan, are going after Alan Thicke's widow, Tanya, because she won't let them start a pot farm on their deceased dad's property ... so claims Tanya Callau.

As we reported, Robin and Brennan filed legal docs in Alan's probate case, claiming Tanya threatened to go to the tabloids and trash them if they didn't give her what she wanted from Alan's estate. But Tanya's lawyer, Adam Streisand, tells TMZ, the sons are making up false claims to smear her, because she won't let them convert the family ranch into a massive marijuana operation.

The way Alan left things is a little confusing. There's a prenup and Alan's sons claim Tanya wants to challenge it, but her lawyer is calling BS and says she's fine with the prenup ... which gives her a 25% interest in the ranch. Alan also created a trust which allows Tanya to live out her life on the property.

Tanya says the boys are dishonoring their dad, who would have disapproved of them going into the pot biz on his property which sits on 11 acres near Santa Barbara.

Tanya says the boys are also painting her as a gold digger, which hurts because she was with Alan for 17 years and married for 11.

We reached out to Robin's rep ... so far no word back.
