Kim Porter Diddy May Be Too Distraught for Eulogy Faith Evans to Perform

Published | Updated

Kim Porter's funeral will be an elaborate affair, but certain key moments are still up in the air, because of the shock associated with Kim's death.

We're told Diddy would like to deliver a eulogy to the mother of 3 of his children, but he's still so distraught over her death last week, he's not sure he could make it through.

Our sources also say Faith Evans will perform during Saturday's service at the Cascade Hills Church in Columbus, GA. Faith has a unique connection to Diddy. When Biggie died Diddy was a huge source of comfort to Faith ... now she's returning the gesture.

Mary J. Blige will also attend the service, though she's not scheduled to perform.

As we reported, Kim's casket will arrive at the funeral in a horse-drawn carriage. We're told Diddy wanted this because Kim adored horses.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim died at her home last week. The official cause of death is not known, but we're told she was battling what she believed was the flu.

LFO Member Brad Fischetti I Know Devin is Now Talking to Jesus

Published | Updated

The last LFO member Brad Fischetti delivered an emotional tribute to Devin Lima, tearfully saying he believes his comrade in arms is in a better place.

Brad is now the lone survivor of the group ... this after Devin died Wednesday after a yearlong battle with cancer. The group originally was a trio, but the third member, Rich Cronin, died after a long fight with leukemia.

In the video description on YouTube, Brad wrote that a few days before Devin passed away he told him, "Bro, when it's over, just tell them I disappeared."

TMZ broke the story ... Devin died after battling stage 4 cancer.

The group was super popular in the '90s. Their biggest hit, "Summer Girls," which was released in '99, peaked at #3 on Billboard Hot 100. They also scored with "Girl on TV" and "Every Other Time."

LMO released the song "Perfect 10" last year. They were supposed to go on tour in the spring of 2018, but it was canceled after Devin was diagnosed.

6ix9ine, Cosby, Suge & Manafort Thanksgiving Prison Meals (Mostly) Plain & Dry for Newbies

Published | Updated

7:45 AM PT -- Looks like Tekashi will be dining at a new facility for Bird Day. TMZ broke the story, Tekashi got moved to a new center late Wednesday night for "security reasons."

The most notorious prisoners behind bars this year will partake in Thanksgiving like the rest of us.

According to prison menus across the country, guys like Tekashi69, Bill Cosby, Suge Knight and Paul Manafort -- all of whom left public life in jumpsuits in 2018 for one reason or another (or several) -- are set to be served relatively modest meals Thursday, all of which include basics like turkey, stuffing, potatoes, cranberry sauce and greens.

Here's what 6ix9ine will be chowing down on in Brooklyn's MDC:

-- Turkey or eggplant, mashed sweet potato, corn, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, biscuit and pumpkin pie

Cosby at Pennsylvania's SCI Phoenix:

-- Turkey (or a garden burger for vegetarians), bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green peas, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls with margarine and pumpkin pie with whipped cream or fruit

Manafort at Virginia's Alexandria Detention Center:

-- Turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, and pumpkin pie

Suge at California State Prison:

-- Turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, salad, cranberry sauce, ice cream (no pie, sorry Suge) and veggies

And, if you care what Larry Nassar will be eating at US Penitentiary Coleman II in FL:

-- Turkey, baked turkey ham, tofu stir-fry or vegetable stuffing, macaroni and cheese or baked potato, candied or baked sweet potato, green beans, cranberry sauce, gravy, whole wheat bread and margarine and assorted holiday pies

Is it just us, or is Nassar getting the bigger wishbone?

RINGING IN THANKSGIVING

Paris Hilton defied the reality of Thanksgiving by showing up a little lighter ... but only lighter by a bunch of carats.

Paris strolled through the Melbourne airport Thursday, looking relaxed and happy after her breakup with fiance Chris Zylka. She was coy about pretty much everything, which means things are back to normal.

Check out her ring finger ... it's bare. As we reported, Chris is legally entitled to get the $2 million engagement ring back from her, although we're told up to this point he hasn't asked for it.

We're told Chris got the ring at a massive discount because the jeweler has a long-standing relationship with Paris. That means he's positioned for a huge windfall if he gets it back and sells it.

As for Paris, she's already ridiculously rich so it doesn't matter much.

She's in Australia to promote her latest fragrance, Platinum Rush.

Pharrell, Kevin Hart Here to Help the Needy ... On Thanksgiving

Published | Updated

Pharrell, Kevin Hart and a bunch of other stars headed down to L.A.'s Skid Row Wednesday to put some smiles in the faces and food in the stomachs of people not nearly as fortunate as them.

Some of the other celebs who showed up to feed the homeless ... Minnie Driver, Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Antonio Villaraigosa, Christina DeRosa, Donna D'Errico, Edwin Hodge, Emma Kenney, John Savage, Blanca Blanco, and Loni Love.

The Thanksgiving meal is an annual tradition on L.A.’s Skid Row. In addition to meals, the homeless get blankets, hygiene kits, socks and other items. More than 3,000 people are fed every year.

The meals were prepared by Chef Michael Voltaggio, a winner of Bravo’s “Top Chef."

Ken Jeong Clearly Preparing for Possible New Hangover

Published | Updated

This is a fun, alcohol-fueled Thanksgiving video.

Ken Jeong was clearly in the Holiday spirit at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Melbourne, Australia, yelling something about "Hangover 4." Really?

Ken's always super fun and did not disappoint fans who were thrilled to take selfies with the doctor-turned-movie star.

They asked him about the possibility of a new installment of the hit flick, and then asked if a spinoff of his character, Mr. Chow, might be possible.

Truth be told, whatever Ken says in the video ... don't necessarily take it to the bank ... but a hangover might be a reality today.

Ken performed a comedy set earlier Wednesday at Hamer Hall. He's coming back to the U.S. to continue his stand-up tour which will continue through the New Year.

Kevin Hart I'm Passing ... On Chance To Rip President Trump

Published | Updated

Kevin Hart tells us he wouldn't touch the White House Correspondent's Dinner with a 10-foot pole ... not even if comedians are ever allowed back as hosts.

We got the funny man Wednesday afternoon at L.A. Mission where he was helping serve turkey dinners to those in need ... and asked him straight-up if he'd ever considered hosting the annual black-tie affair.

Check out the clip ... Kevin couldn't be more clear in his disdain for the current state of the dinner.

The banquet, held every April in the spirit of good will between POTUS and his press corps, is on a downswing with Donald Trump in office. He's skipped the event twice after labeling media an enemy of the people.

This year's host is historian/biographer Ron Chernow, and he's pretty much guaranteed to cause less of a stir than comedian Michelle Wolf, who hosted this past April and eviscerated Trump and other prominent members of his administration.

Michelle's jokes caused a ton of controversy and sparked loads of backlash ... and next year's dinner is the first since 2003 to not feature a comic.

Kevin says the current climate surrounding the dinner is tough, and he's more interested in spreading positive vibes somewhere else.

Paris Hilton's Ex Now That I'm Single ... It's Back to Acting!!!

Published | Updated

Paris Hilton's ex is back to calling his own shots now that he's riding fast in the single lane ... first order of business -- breathing life into his acting career.

Sources close to Chris Zylka tell TMZ ... the 'Leftovers' actor allowed his acting career to take a back seat to Paris while he was dating her. We're told Chris didn't film anything during the time they were dating ... especially after he popped the question earlier this year with a ring valued at 2 million bucks.

Fact is ... Chris' only priority during his time with Paris was ... Paris. He was all in supporting her global ambitions ... even if she once literally forgot about him. But, we digress. Not long after the breakup, we're told Chris was offered some acting gigs, which he's now pursuing.

He also has a movie coming out with Natalie Portman, "The Death and Life of John F. Donovan." He filmed it before getting involved with Paris and now that he's single, he'll have plenty of time to promote it.

As Kevin Hart once said ... you do you, boo boo.

Joc Pederson Personal Bird Scooter Stolen ... Cops Investigating

Published | Updated

Joc Pederson is gonna have to rent scooters by the minute like the rest of us normies now ... 'cause the Dodgers star had his personal Bird jacked -- TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources tell us the outfielder had his electric wheels stolen outta his car recently near his San Fernando Valley home.

We're told Joc woke up and saw his car's window smashed out and his scooter taken ... and he reported the crime to the LAPD.

Sources say no arrests have been made ... but cops are investigating the whole thing.

The Bird is only valued at around $500 -- and Joc just made $2.6 MILLION this year -- but we're told the wheels were a gift from the company, so there's some sentimental value there.

We reached out to Joc for comment -- but no word back yet.

Jill Zarin 'RHONY' Return Comes with New BF

Published | Updated

Jill Zarin's return to "The Real Housewives of New York City" will touch on the new man in her life and her relationships with other cast members ... but her story's only getting part-time shine.

Production sources tell TMZ ... Jill's role on the upcoming season of 'RHONY' that of contributor -- not a regular -- as a "friend" to full-time 'housewives' like Ramona Singer, Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan and Tinsley Mortimer.

We're told Jill's filmed episodes for Season 11 in which she divulges details about how she's found happiness with her new boyfriend, Gary Brody, following the death of her husband Bobby earlier this year after a long battle with cancer. Jill appeared briefly in Season 10 when the cast attended the funeral.

Our sources say it's unclear how much the show will touch on Jill's life in the aftermath of Bobby's death or her new rug line business, Jill Zarin Rugs Collection, but will definitely cover her relationship with Brody ... who she started dating a couple months ago.

We're told the 2 have known each other longer, but bonded over tennis and things got serious quickly -- they're already living together in Manhattan.

As for Zarin's "friend" status with the cast ... we're told it doesn't apply to Bethenny Frankel, with whom she had a notorious falling out years ago. Our sources say the women are cordial, though still not close enough to hang out.

As we reported, Frankel dealt with a tragic loss of her own recently ... when her boyfriend died of a suspected OD. It's highly likely 'RHONY' will cover that incident.

The new season is expected to premiere in Spring 2019. We reached out to Bravo ... so far, no word back.

Justin Bieber Shows Aaron Carter Love ... And Shade!!!

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber admits Aaron Carter was cool once upon a time ... when the Biebs was 7!!!

Justin is finally responding to Aaron's gripes about not being paid homage by JB and modern-day child pop stars ... and Justin's throwing some serious shade towards AC in the process.

The Biebs shared his two cents Wednesday night, writing on his Twitter, "Aaron carter i had your album when i was little. And bumped the song Aaron's party. I was like 7. if you need a hype man I got you."

The hilarious beef started Tuesday, when Aaron responded to a random fan on Twitter, who had wondered why Carter never reached the same success as Justin.

Aaron went off on a mini-rant, suggesting he's basically the OG Biebs and blasting Justin and others for failing to give him props for paving the way.

Now, Justin's granting Aaron's wish ... served with a side of shade.

Nicki Minaj Sends Love To Tekashi69 ... Dishes Out Thanksgiving Meals in Hometown

Published | Updated

Nicki Minaj is spreading holiday cheer, sending well wishes to Tekashi69 in prison and handing out turkey dinners to residents in her old hood in Queens.

Nicki started her Wednesday by posting a heartfelt message to 6ix9ine, writing on her IG page, "Danny, I love you and am praying for you, your Mother, daughter & her mom during this time."

Tekashi is in general population in a brutal Brooklyn detention center after getting busted by the feds on racketeering charges. Nicki and 6ix9ine were supposed to shoot a music vid with Kanye West, but production was halted earlier this month after 2 gunmen shot up the set.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

After that, it was turkey time in Queens, with Nicki dishing out Thanksgiving meals to tons of peeps in her old stomping grounds.

That's why they call her "Queen."

UFC's Rachael Ostovich Describes Violent Incident 'He Punched Me Repeatedly'

Published | Updated

TMZ Sports has obtained court documents in which UFC fighter Rachael Ostovich describes the beating she claims she took at the hands of her MMA fighter husband on Nov. 18 ... and it's horrific.

"After a night out with family, [Arnold Berdon] punched me repeatedly on the head, face, ribs, making me fall to the ground," Rachael says in her petition for a restraining order filed in Hawaii.

"I gasped for breath and escaped thru [sic] balcony. I coughed up blood, threw up sev. times. Cracked orbital."

In the docs, Ostovich claims Berdon had physically abused her in the past -- citing a specific incident on May 6, 2018 where he allegedly punched her in the legs repeatedly, leaving bruises.

Ostovich requested a restraining order against Berdon -- claiming he's a danger to her and their 5-year-old daughter.

The court granted the request and Berdon must stay 100 feet away from both of them.

As we previously reported, Berdon was arrested Tuesday for 2nd degree attempted murder -- a charge that carries up to a life sentence if convicted.

Berdon's family members have told us he plans to argue that he was defending himself on Nov.18 and did not initiate the violence.

Ostovich was scheduled to fight Paige VanZant in January -- but had to pull out due to her broken orbital bone.

Ostovich had been hospitalized for her injuries but has since been released and is recovering at home.
