Jesse Williams had harsh words for people who harshly judged him over his divorce ... and he did it on a Jay-Z video.

Jesse had 25 seconds on Jay-Z's 11-minute newest release, "Footnotes from 4:44" ... talking about the ongoing divorce and custody dispute with estranged wife, Aryn Drake-Lee.

Jesse says ... "I was in a relationship 13 years, 13 real years, not 5 years, not 7 years, 13 years and all of a sudden mother f****** are writing think pieces that I somehow threw a 13-year relationship -- like the most painful experience I've had in my life like with a person I've loved with all my heart -- that I threw a person and my family in the trash because a girl I work with is cute."

Ben Affleck is leaving no doubt -- he and 'SNL' producer Lindsay Shookus are in a relationship -- but someone needs to throw in the towel, because as you see from Ben's shirt, L.A.'s super humid.

The couple stepped out for pizza Monday night in the Pacific Palisades. They were also spotted leaving a coffee shop Monday morning.

As we reported Ben had moved on and started dating someone back in April when Jennifer Garner filed for divorce ... looks like Lindsay was that woman. The divorce should be final in a few months. We're told it's completely amicable.

Hail to the chief ... Conor McGregor!?

During Conor's insanely expensive Rodeo Drive shopping spree in Bev Hills on Monday, we asked the Irish superstar if he would be inviting the President of Ireland to sit ringside at the Mayweather fight.

His response is classic ... "I am the President of Ireland. He's fighting that night!"

Conor is undoubtedly one of the most Irish men alive -- in fact, there was a movement to honor McGregor last year by putting his face on official Irish money.

Skrillex wants a fan who's suing him to undergo a second psychiatric evaluation, but she's telling him to take a hike.

Jennifer Fraissl sued the DJ back in February 2014 after he jumped from the stage during a performance in Downtown L.A. Jennifer says Skrillex landed on top of her and she suffered a stroke as a result of the trauma.

The suit's been going back-and-forth, and now Skrillex wants Jennifer to undergo an independent psychiatric evaluation to determine the emotional impact caused by her alleged injuries.

But in docs, obtained by TMZ, Jennifer says she's refusing to go through the exam ... especially because she already has with her own doctors.

The judge will decide if she has to submit to further testing.

Floyd Mayweather is straight FIRE on rollerskates!!!

Seriously -- TBE took a break from his McGregor training camp to hit up the Crystal Palace Skating Center in Vegas over the weekend and DOMINATED everyone else on the floor!

We're talkin' criss crosses, heels, grapevines (we looked it up) -- he was carving through the normies like he was Brian Boitano on wheels!

Of course, the official media tour for the MayMac fight starts in just a few hours at Staples Center in L.A. -- that's when the REAL show begins ... and we're gonna be all over it.

Lil Yachty's new chain will have people seeing double ... it's a diamond-encrusted replica of his own mug.

Yachty worked with Gabriel Jacobs, owner of Rafaello and Co., on the piece. Gabe's shop snapped the pic and used it to create the chain and it's clear he paid attention to detail.

It's over 100 carats and took over a month to make. All the diamonds had to be sourced because they're "natural" ... meaning none of them have been artificially colored. Explains the stiff $150K price tag.

Gabe says he's about 95% done. He still has to add Yachty's signature braids into the mix, but plans on hand-delivering the chain to him by the end of the week.

Rachel Lindsay got treated to a harsh truth on "The Bachelorette" from one of her favorite suitors ... with him telling her he won't propose if he isn't ready.

Fan fave contestant Peter Kraus got brutally honest with Rachel on Monday night's episode -- first telling her a super sad story about his last girlfriend, and then saying if he felt any doubt about proposing come game time ... he would let her know.

It's a bold move on Peter's part -- she could've cut him right then and there. Lucky for him, Rachel seemed to appreciate the truth more than the possibility of being left hanging by the end of the show ... and she gave him a rose.

Rachel will be meeting Peter's fam next week ... and those of at least a couple other contestants.

Conor McGregor has landed in Bev Hills -- and he's spending crazy money and talking smack!!!

We got Conor in the middle of a super expensive shopping spree at Versace, Dolce, etc -- where he told TMZ Sports, "I'm on Rodeo Drive! I'm blowing f*cking loads of it!"

We also asked Conor about reports that his opponent Floyd Mayweather owes MILLIONS to the IRS for not paying off his 2015 income taxes ... a number that some estimate could be more than $100 mil.

"That's gotta sting," McGregor said ... "He shoulda paid his taxes and stayed retired and kept my name out of his mouth!"

He also told us he'll be way smarter with his money ... as he continued to drop thousands at some of the most expensive stores in the world.

Conor also had one last note about Floyd -- "He's f*cked now."

Keyshia Cole put a serious hurting on the woman she accused of banging Birdman ... at least according to the woman who's now demanding $4 million to cover a slew of alleged injuries.

You'll recall, Keyshia was dating Birdman in 2014 when, according to a police report, she found Sabrina Mercadel at his L.A. penthouse, flew into a jealous rage, and allegedly beat the hell out of her. Sabrina's now laying out the full extent of her damages (financial and physical):

- $1.5 mil, pain and suffering
- $500k, emotional distress
- $2 mil, loss of use of body part
- $200k, future medical expenses
- $50k, loss of earnings
- $300k, future loss of earnings

Sabrina was also suing Birdman's building, however she's since dropped the pad from the lawsuit. She also insists her relationship with Birdman was "plutonic."

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna may be at war with each other, but we've learned they're in lockstep when it comes to co-parenting 8-month-old Dream.

Sources close to mom and dad tell us Rob and Chyna have been operating under an unwritten arrangement where they each are entitled to physical custody 50% of the time. We're told the arrangement has been "loose by consent" and recently Rob has had the kid 4 days a week and Blac Chyna picks up the remaining 3. The staff of nannys/baby nurses are always present.

Our sources say they have had no problem on co-parenting, which includes child-rearing decisions. Somehow they have been able to wall off their personal beef.

We're also told Rob and Blac Chyna have no plan to go to court and ask a judge to make a formal child custody order, although we are told they will probably memorialize the arrangement in writing.

BTW ... during Monday's hearing, when Chyna got a restraining order against Rob, he had the kid.

Jessica Simpson's drivers license says 37, as of today, but you could never tell it from her ass ... which she put on full display.

Jess spent at least part of her birthday tanning her cheeks in her pool, while sipping on what looks like a fruity adult beverage. She captioned this piece of art ... "Kiss My Butt 36." Suddenly wish your name was 36?

Happy birthday, Jessica -- hard to believe it's been 12 years since ya slipped into the Daisy Dukes ... sure doesn't look it!

Ben Affleck's looking more and more like he's locking in 'SNL' producer Lindsay Shookus as his new gf ... 'cause they had a coffee/juice date Monday morning.

Ben and Lindsay grabbed Starbucks in Brentwood after apparently spending the weekend together. They reportedly had a dinner date Thursday night at Giorgio Baldi ... one of Ben's fave spots.

We broke the story ... Ben and Jen Garner officially filed for divorce earlier this year. We were told they were already seeing other people.

TMZ Sports has obtained an audio recording of the alleged domestic dispute involving Alberto Del Rio and Paige -- in which an emotional Paige screams out, "Stay out of my life. Leave me the f*ck alone."

The person who recorded the audio -- a huge wrestling fan -- says she recognized the couple while they were arguing Sunday in the middle of Orlando International Airport in Florida.

The witness says she recorded the incident as evidence.

You can hear Alberto and Paige yelling -- clearly upset -- with Alberto saying, "Call the cops. Let's do it. Get the cops."

It sounds like he's talking to Paige ... who yells back, "Just stay out of my life. Leave me the f*ck alone. I’m trying to get away from you."

Moments later, Alberto says, "I'm pressing charges against you."

Witnesses tell TMZ Sports it was clear Alberto and Paige were arguing with each other and Paige stormed off at the end of the exchange.

We're told a police officer responded to the scene and spoke with Alberto -- though he was not arrested.

The twist ... Paige issued a statement on Twitter insisting both she and ADR called police on a 3rd party, a female fan, who she claims threw a drink on Alberto when he refused to take a picture with her.

We spoke with law enforcement -- but they made no reference to a 3rd party and told us they were investigating the matter as a domestic violence issue.

We made calls to reps for Alberto and Paige -- so far, no word back.

Haley's attorney Dina LaPolt tells TMZ ... the bouncers assaulted Haley, without provocation. She also says, "After forcefully removing [Haley] they violently beat her friend, who sustained multiple injuries. We believe that she will be exonerated of all charges once the investigation is completed."

LaPolt added ... Haley plans to take legal action against the bar and the staff.

Former "American Idol" contestant Haley Reinhart got busted for punching a bouncer in the head ... TMZ has learned.

Cops say Haley got arrested early Saturday morning at a suburban Chicago pub called the Lamplighter Inn. Officers showed up around 2 AM after bouncers tossed Haley and some friends for knocking over a table. Cops say as they were being shown the door -- Haley, who stands at a generous 5'2" -- uncorked a closed fist on the bouncer.

She was taken into custody and booked for battery.

Haley went deep into season 10 of 'Idol' ... taking third place. She's currently on the Netflix show "F Is for Family."

Seems like she's vying for a spot in the UFC too.
