Smith Hart -- the oldest sibling of the Hart wrestling family, and brother to Bret Hart -- has died after a battle with cancer.

Former WWE wrestler David Hart Smith -- Smith's nephew -- posted a message Sunday saying his uncle had died. Smith's own Facebook page posted a message as well confirming his death.

Smith was the oldest of 12 in the Hart wrestling family, and appeared in WrestleMania 26 alongside his younger brother, Bret ... who wrestled Vince McMahon in 2010. Smith wrestled professionally through the '70s, '80s and '90s, and made appearances on WWF and WWE.

Smith was apparently foreshadowing his death for a while now. He posted a pic of himself at his younger brother Owen's grave site ... with the caption "Thought I'd visit with Owen today. I'll see you soon brother." Owen died tragically in 1999 during a WWF pay-per-view event due to an equipment malfunction.

Smith has been in the hospital fighting terminal cancer since at least June of this year.

He was 68.

Kanye West isn't interested in bonuses from Apple, Spotify or any other streaming platforms ... 'cause he's done with exclusive releases.

Sources with knowledge of the conflict between Kanye and Tidal tell us Kanye does not want to enter into any more exclusive album releases or contracts with streaming services to host any upcoming projects of his, because he wants to avoid what happened on Tidal ... too limited access for far too long.

We're told when Kanye does drop new material, he plans to make it available on as many music platforms as possible ... so more people can listen as soon as it's released.

We broke the story ... Kanye has split from Tidal over a money dispute, and both parties face possible legal action if he goes to another streaming service. His last album, "The Life of Pablo," was exclusively on Tidal for about a month and a half, and we're told that's affecting his decision to widely release his music.

As we reported ... Kanye's business beef with Tidal predates the release of Jay-Z's album "4:44" ... in which he disses 'Ye.

The bottom line, though ... new Kanye music should be coming to a streaming service near you in the near future.

10:41 AM PT -- CNN released a statement saying ... "It is a sad day when the President of the United States encourages violence against reporters. Clearly, Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied when she said the President had never done so." They go on to say he should stick to doing his job ... instead of attacking their network.

Donald Trump went ham on Twitter Sunday, posting a video of himself at Wrestlemania 23 where he beat up Vince McMahon, but this time he superimposed CNN as the recipient of his fake violence.

What can we say ... he is a President obsessed with cable news beyond reason.

What's especially troublesome ... everyone knows wrestling is fake, but the images look real, and the message is clear ... he's determined to pound the life out of CNN.

Kanye West, a key player in Jay Z's Tidal stable, has left the company over a money dispute and Tidal has threatened to sue him ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Tidal tell TMZ, Kanye has been unhappy with the company for a long time. We're told Kanye has complained the company owes him money -- more than $3 million.

Our sources say a month ago Kanye's lawyer sent a letter to Tidal, saying the company was in breach and the contract was terminated. Over the next 2 weeks lawyers for both sides tried to resolve the conflict but failed. We're told 2 weeks ago Kanye's lawyer fired off a second letter declaring again the contract was over.

Kanye's decision to split from Tidal predates the release of Jay Z's album in which he trashes Kanye, and we're told Kanye had no advance knowledge of Jay's lyrics.

We're told Kanye's beef with Tidal is twofold -- his The Life of Pablo album resulted in 1 1/2 million new subscribers to Tidal, for which he was supposed to get a bonus but the company hasn't paid. Kanye also says Tidal reneged on reimbursing him for music videos.

Our sources say Tidal's position is that Kanye didn't deliver the videos required by the contract. Kanye's response ... I'll deliver the videos when you pay me what I'm owed.

We're told Tidal fired off a letter to Kanye, saying as far as the company was concerned it still had an exclusive contract with the rapper and if he tried to go to another streaming service they'd sue him. We're told Kanye's willing to walk away, but if Tidal sues him, he'll sue them right back.

Derek Fisher has been formally charged with 2 counts of DUI stemming from his June 4 crash on the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Model Chanel Iman is crazy hot, and any doubts were put to rest Saturday in Miami.

Chanel hit the beach Saturday with boyfriend Sterling Shepard, who's a wide receiver for the New York Giants. They've been dating since January ... in model years that's a lot longer.

She was workin' the camera in a big way, posing with a girlfriend and just looking super good.

They're in Miami to celebrate July 4th weekend. Thanks to Chanel for facilitating a pre-4th celebration for people far, far away.

Diddy called out DJ Whoo Kid in a big/funny/kinda serious way for going all Benedict Arnold on the vodka front.

Diddy was hosting a pool party at Hard Rock in Vegas Saturday when he came face-to-face with Whoo who was chugging the clear stuff, but not the right kind .. i.e., Ciroc.

Nick Jonas knows how to charm ... his date and everyone else who's lookin' at this pic.

Nick took this little girl to Craig's in WeHo Saturday night, and her face says clearly what an awesome time she had.

We don't know who she is ... maybe a relative. It doesn't really matter because the shot is so awesome.

She's clutching a kid's i-Pad, which then raises the question ... did she actually take eyes off Nick while she was chowing down?!?!!

Cheyenne Jackson and husband Jason Landau were out and about Saturday with their 8-month-old twins.

Willow and Ethan were takin' in the sights in a super fancy stroller as they left an L.A. restaurant. Cheyenne married Jason Landau in 2014. The kids were born via surrogate. It's Jackson's second marriage.

FYI ... Cheyenne starred on Broadway but became famous on "American Horror Story," where his character became the new owner of the haunted hotel. He also played Roanoke, the crazy TV director.

Bob the Drag Queen is calling out LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen -- insisting their show, "Lip Sync Battle," copied "RuPaul's Drag Race," and not the other way around.

Bob, who won season 8 of 'Drag Race,' ... wants to shut up the haters who claim the recent season 9 finale ripped off the 'LSB' format. Bob says his show's always featured a sudden death lip sync battle between the show's lowest scoring drag queens.

Not to mention, 'Drag Race' was already on its 7th season when 'LSB' premiered.

Bottom line -- don't come for Bob, 'Lip Sync' fans, and she won't come for you.

One of the greatest (fictional) golfers ever says he still believes in Tiger Woods ... and is giving TW some game on how to bounce back from his DUI ... 'cause he's been there too.

We talked to Christopher McDonald, the actor who played legendary golfer Shooter McGavin in "Happy Gilmore" (classic) and asked him about Tiger's very real problems.

McDonald is the right guy to ask ... he was popped for DWI back in 2013, and has since cleaned his life up, something he believes Tiger Woods can -- and will -- do.

"I went through it myself, I got off. He'll get off."

As far as Tiger's legacy ... McDonald says arrest or no arrest Tiger's legacy is secured.

"He's been a hero of mine and a hero of America for a long time. One of the greatest golfers ever."

Fruit of the Loom is trying to pants the company it says got into the name game a little too late -- like, 124 years too late.

The iconic underwear company is suing En Grande, claiming its Fruit of the Tomb clothing brand is a total ripoff. In the docs, Fruit of the Loom says that doesn't fly because of the obvious similarity to its handle.

FOTL says its roots go back to 1891 when it first made its mark -- trade, not skid -- in the underwear game. Basically, the Loom crew thinks it's pretty cute Tomb tried to do the same in 2015.

Loom says it warned Tomb to shut down operations, but it ignored the demand and launched last year. Fruit of the Loom is suing for damages.

He writes ... "Marriage is not for the faint of heart. Love is an absolute risk. And it's up to each of us to stay hopeful even when the outcome isn't what we'd originally hoped for."

Chad continues to state they are splitting up, but the 2 remain close friends who are "good in each other's eyes."

Hayley and Chad got married just last year in February 2016. Check out his full statement below.
