Ricki Lake plans to honor the memory of her late ex-husband, Christian Evans, by spreading his ashes at the same place they got engaged.

Ricki posted a pic Friday of herself near a beach in Ibiza, with the caption ... "Es Vedra and me. #magical #Ibiza. Bringing my beloved home. #christianevans #loveiseternal."

Sources close to the former talk show host tell TMZ she's there to spread Christian's ashes because that's where he popped the question to her, and it's a place they visited often as a couple.

We're told Christian introduced Ricki to Ibiza years ago, and they went there every summer since. They were still very much in love, despite getting divorced in 2014.

Chris Christie's first stint as a sports talk radio host was more like a boxing match -- trading blows with callers over BeachGate ... with one guy telling him to take his "fat ass" to a beach where ALL his constituents can sunbathe.

Christie was guest hosting/auditioning for Mike Francesa's legendary sports talk show on WFAN in New York -- and was mostly keeping the topics to sports ... until they opened it up to callers.

That's when Mike from Montclair (a regular caller on the show) blasted Christie for last week's NJ beach scandal ... when Chris took his family to a beach that was closed to the public amid a budget standoff.

"Hey Governor, the next time you want to sit on a beach that is closed to the entire world except you, you put your fat ass in a car and go to one that's open to all your constituents ... not just you and yours."

Christie fired back by calling the guy a communist ... and then hanging up on him.

By the way, the caller told the screener he wanted to talk about Aaron Judge. This was way more fun.

Gwen Stefani created a dangerous stampede at one of her concerts when she invited fans to rush the stage ... at least according to a woman who's suing her for just that.

Lisa Stricklin just filed suit against the No Doubt singer, claiming she invited lawn seat fans to come forward into a reserved seated area at the PNC Pavilion at her Charlotte, NC concert last July.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Stricklin says Stefani shouted ... "Just fill in anywhere you like! Who cares about your lawn chairs? You can get new ones!" ... which allegedly prompted a ton of people to stampede into the seated area, injuring Stricklin.

She claims her leg was broken in the chaos, and she had to shell out for surgery and treatment afterward. She also says Stefani acknowledged the mistake that same night by saying "I got in so much trouble for telling you guys to come up here!"

Janet Jackson touched down in New York Monday morning with her 6-month-old son, Eissa, and the little guy is one heck of a cute baby!

It's Eissa's first trip to the U.S. that we know of. The kid, whose dad is Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana, was born in London back in January and has been there as his parents hash out their divorce.

Wissam moved out of the couple's London pad in April, but no word yet on custody and where little Eissa will have permanent roots.

Blac Chyna says she's "terrified" of Rob Kardashian, in part because he has a gun and has threatened to use it to kill himself.

Chyna's celeb lawyer, Lisa Bloom, filed new docs Monday, adding to her client's claims of violence. As we reported, she says in addition to Rob attacking her in April, that same month, Chyna now says Rob punched her, knocked her to the ground and she ran in fear to her bedroom, where Rob punched a hole through the door to get at her.

Chyna says she's afraid the new series of online attacks -- where he posted naked pics of her and other personal information -- "will lead to increased irrational behavior and that he might harm her in his anger."

Nelsan Ellis' heart failure was triggered by alcohol withdrawal complications.

The "True Blood" star's family said Nelsan -- who died Saturday -- struggled with drug and alcohol abuse for years and his latest attempt to withdraw from booze on his own led to his death.

The family said, "During his withdrawal from alcohol he had a blood infection, his kidneys shut down, his liver was swollen, his blood pressure plummeted, and his dear sweet heart raced out of control."

The family went on to say Nelsan "was ashamed of his addiction and thus was reluctant to talk about it during his life. His family, however, believes that in death he would want his life to serve as a cautionary tale in an attempt to help others."

Hilary Duff has a new young dude in her life, and he's already getting very familiar with her bikini bod.

Hilary was with the mystery man over the weekend on a Malibu beach. Don't know how long they've been together, but they weren't shy about getting physical in the water. Besides a makeout sesh ... they also did some surfing.

She's definitely got his back.

Looks like Hil's moved on from celeb trainer Jason Walsh, who she was dating this past Fall.

Gotta hand it to Shia LaBeouf ... the man isn't letting his weekend arrest keep him from getting his job done.

Shia was back onset of his movie, "The Peanut Butter Falcon," Monday in Savanna, GA ... looking like everything was aces. TMZ broke the story ... Shia was arrested Saturday morning for disorderly conduct, obstruction and public drunkenness.

Cops say it all started after Shia was rejected after asking someone for a cigarette. He was told to leave after swearing in front of women and kids.

The guy's got a habit of bouncing back. Unfortunately, he's also developed a habit of drunken arrests.

Joanna Krupa has filed for divorce from husband Romain Zago ... TMZ has learned.

Joanna filed legal docs claiming the marriage is "irretrievably broken." It's clearly not going to be contentious ... according to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the couple hashed out who gets what in a Marital Settlement Agreement dated today, July 10, 2017.

Both Joanna and Romain have agreed not to seek spousal support against the other.

Based on the docs, even though Joanna is the petitioner, it looks like she and Romain jointly filed for divorce.

The couple married in 2013 and have no kids.

We're told it was "extremely amicable" and they remain friends.

Blac Chyna got the restraining order she sought against Rob Kardashian ... and she celebrated outside court with her attorneys.

Chyna was flanked by Lisa Bloom and Walter Mosley as they laid out the terms of the restraining order. Rob is now barred from any further cyberbullying of Chyna -- including posting photos or videos of her, or making any personal comments about her. He also has to stay away from her.

Rob was not in court, but his attorney, Robert Shapiro, was ... and also spoke briefly to the media after the hearing. As we first reported, Shapiro did not contest the restraining order ... and said Rob is just interested in doing what's best for their daughter, Dream.

Blac Chyna had a poker face as she arrived at the courthouse with her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, as they set their sights on a restraining order against Rob Kardashian.

Chyna wouldn't talk about additional allegations of violence, first reported by TMZ ... she said nothing as she arrived for the 8:30 AM PT hearing.

As we reported, Rob's lawyer, Robert Shapiro, told TMZ he'd stipulate to the restraining order, which prohibits Rob from slut shaming his baby mama. Shapiro says Rob "regrets" his social media rampage and his only concern now is baby Dream.

Rob Kardashian will not fight Blac Chyna in court Monday ... we've learned he will agree to the restraining order she is seeking against him.

Rob's lawyer, Robert Shapiro, tells TMZ, Rob's cyberbullying last week was "a spontaneous reaction that he regrets."

We're told Shapiro will appear on Rob's behalf and immediately tell the judge there is no need for a hearing because Rob has no interest contesting her request for a restraining order that prohibits him from posting personal information about her and intimate photos as well.

Jeremy Lin believes Asian people have an uphill battle when it comes to making it in America -- essentially saying basketball players and non-athletes of Asian descent are "underestimated" in the U.S.

The Brooklyn Nets star was giving an interview in Mandarin Chinese to an ESPN reporter when he was asked how he felt about NBA summer league standouts Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang, both from mainland China.

"I’m very happy and hope they can perform well," Lin said.

"In the U.S., a lot of -- doesn’t matter if it's basketball players or people in other professions -- they look at Chinese people or Asians and they surely will underestimate us."

"So I think if we can have more Asian basketball players it will help our masculinity a lot."

It's not the first time Lin has talked about the way Asian men are viewed in American society -- back in April, he gave an interview saying Asian men are viewed differently (and unfairly) from sports to dating ... but has hope that things will change.

Wiz Khalifa is totally cool with 21 Savage hanging around his baby mama, Amber Rose, or their kid.

We got Wiz leaving Tao in Hollywood, arm in arm with Brazilian model Izabela Guedes, who he's been dating for several months. We asked him about Amber getting close with Savage, and he says -- early reviews are good for the new rapper in her life.

But honestly ... Wiz seemed to be on cloud 9 about everything -- his new chick, new music, his fans. Basically, it's all good in Wiz's hood.

Amber's too ...

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are making new allegations of domestic violence against each other, and both claim the alleged incidents are captured on video.

Chyna -- who's in court Monday morning for a domestic violence restraining order against Rob -- has already claimed Rob got physical with her.

Sources connected with Chyna tell us she will add other claims, including one incident several months ago where she says Rob allegedly hit her and knocked her to the ground. She says she ran to her bedroom and he broke the door open. She supposedly has photos and videos of the incident.

As for Rob, sources close to the situation say in December, the day Chyna moved out of the house she and Rob were sharing, she tried choking him with an iPhone cord and tried hitting him with a metal rod. The sources say Corey Gamble walked in and pulled Chyna off Rob. She then allegedly went through the house, smashing televisions, doors and other items, causing $35k in damage. The sources say Rob has surveillance video documenting the incident.

We're also told Rob's lawyers have texts from the time Chyna moved out, in which she told a friend that Rob would never hit her. Our sources say they feel the messages help to vindicate Rob.

Rob Kardashian's lawyer will appear in court Monday morning and tell the judge ... his client will voluntarily refrain from attacking/bullying Blac Chyna on social media.

Sources connected with Rob tell us, he'll be represented by Robert Shapiro of OJ Simpson fame, and Shapiro will not oppose the TRO ... mostly because they are routinely granted when the alleged victim claims violence. As we reported, Chyna says Rob got physical with her back in April.

We're told Shapiro's main reason for showing up on Rob's behalf is to discuss custody arrangements involving Dream.

Our sources say Shapiro will attempt to assure the judge Rob will not post intimate pics of Chyna, nor will he post her medical or other personal information. And ... no more slut shaming.

There is a wild card ... whether Shapiro raises a First Amendment issue about restricting Rob's use of social media.
