Liziane Gutierrez embodies the ol' saying ... find yourself a woman who can do both, because she's showing a lot of fashion range while in Dubai.

The Brazilian model's heating up the sand in the shadow of Dubai's famous Burj Al Arab hotel ... in her own way, of course. Liziane opted for a burka on the beach, at one point, but ya had to know that wouldn't last long. She eventually emerged in a tiny but colorful bikini.

How's that song about cakes by the ocean go?

The lady gets around. You'll recall, the last time we saw Liziane showing off her curves was back in the summer, down in her native Brazil where she busted out this little ensemble ... and made sure her girlfriend had plenty of UV protection.

Lil Baby's showing he's a real hands-on dad ... especially when it comes to giving his son the bling he deserves.

The Atlanta rapper wanted to do something special for his 3-year-old boy, Jason, as sort of a late birthday/early Christmas present ... and also to celebrate his new album dropping. So, we're told he went to Icebox with a $25k budget and they went to work ... and so did Lil Baby.

We're told the rapper wanted 2 pieces for his boy -- a "Baby Jason" pendant and a smaller "Jason" one -- and he personally wanted to be a part of making it.

Lil Baby stopped by the shop and they showed him how to set some of the diamonds. When it was all said and done, his son was dripping in 7 carats of VS diamonds and 14 karat white gold ... hanging on rope gold chains.

Father and son picked up the Icebox ice Thursday and wore them to his show that night at the Roxy in Atlanta. Gotta say ... the kid looks dope.

Lucy Liu is getting better with age!

Here's a 31-year-old version of the "Charlie's Angels" star beaming with beauty in New York City back in 1999 (left) and 19 years later ... the multitalented actress -- Who is celebrating her 50th birthday Sunday -- rocking a slick back look at an event earlier this year (right).

Fifty looks nifty on her.

The question is ...

Congressman Steve Scalise remembers George H.W. Bush as a great leader who continued being so long after his presidency ... even helping out his state in a time of crisis.

We got he GOP House Whip at the Reagan National Airport Saturday and asked him about the passing of the former Prez, who died Friday night in Houston. Steve calls Bush a "warm and gentle man" who was a uniter when the country was going through a tough time.

Scalise also rattles off a list of accomplishments in Bush's life -- including raising relief money after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the Representative's home state of Louisiana -- showing the great amount of respect he had for 41.

Finally, Steve tells us it's good for the nation that President Trump will attend Bush's funeral, despite their strained relationship. You may recall ... Trump didn't attend Barbara Bush's funeral in April, saying he didn't want to cause disruptions.

George reportedly wanted POTUS to attend his, though ... and Trump had nothing but kind words for him after his passing.

3:00 PM PT -- Tyson's responded to the multiple allegations -- with his personal account of each one -- in a long online post titled "On Being Accused." He says he welcomes and will fully cooperate with an impartial, independent investigation into the claims.

Tyson insists he didn't grope Allers, but simply searched under the covered part of the shoulder of her sleeveless dress to check out her tattoo. He says he found out she thought it was creepy 9 years later, and is "deeply sorry to have made her feel that way."

As for his former assistant, Tyson admits to clumsily telling her ... "If I hug you I might just want more," but claims the 2 had a genuine friendship and denies any sexual misconduct.

Neil ends his post by asking ... "I’m the accused, so why believe anything I say? Why believe me at all?"

"Cosmos" host and renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson's employers are investigating multiple allegations of sexual misconduct involving co-workers and colleagues years ago.

FOX and National Geographic, which co-produce "Cosmos", say they are looking into the allegations which surfaced this week. Patheos published the claim from Bucknell University Professor Dr. Katelyn Allers that Tyson groped her in 2009.

She claims they met at the American Astronomical Society's conference in Long Beach, CA, and that Tyson took an interest in her solar system tattoo ... which starts on her arm and extends onto her back. She claims he grabbed her arm and followed the planets into her dress. She didn't describe it as an assault, but more like "creepy behavior."

One of Tyson's former assistants, Ashley Watson, told Patheos she eventually quit because he made multiple sexual advances, and made misogynistic comments around the workplace.

We've reached out to Tyson's office, but no word back yet.

The video of Kareem Hunt clearly attacking a woman is sparking a movement -- an angry, bitter outpouring of hatred ... toward TMZ.

Minutes after the Kansas City Chiefs made the decision to release Hunt ... we were flooded with emails calling us a**holes, pieces of s**t, blatant supporters of Tom Brady and many other not-so-pleasant things.

We pulled together some of the spicier responses here -- including one guy who broke up with his GF over the story.

For the record, TMZ Sports is covering Kareem Hunt because there's video of him -- a very famous NFL star -- striking a woman. A woman who went to police to report the assault. As we've reported, the case appears to be in limbo -- the Cleveland City Prosecutor is giving us a "no comment."

As for Hunt's on-field punishment? There'd been none until we published the video, and the Chiefs say he lied to them about the incident.

Point is ... the story's about something other than struggling fantasy football teams.

Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" music video instantly blew up the internet Friday and shattered a YouTube record ... so what did she do next?

She went to Disneyland!

Ariana hit up "The Happiest Place on Earth" Friday night with her real mom Joan -- not her music vid mom Kris Jenner -- and some other friends to celebrate her massively successful vid ... which just broke the record for most-watched in a 24-hour period.

Included in Grande's Disney crew were her former "Victorious" co-star Matt Bennett ... who was also the guy brushing his teeth in "Thank U, Next."

Ariana and company were seen all over the park, enjoying rides like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the Matterhorn Bobsleds, and of course ... Space Mountain.

As we reported ... "Thank U, Next" was loaded with cameos and featured scenes from 4 female-driven films that have special meaning to Ariana. Kris Jenner's role came during the "Mean Girls" portion, where she played Amy Poehler's "cool mom" character.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox -- a notable Donald Trump critic -- isn't blasting the U.S. Prez as expected for last week's clash at the border, but as he says ... it's complicated.

We got Fox at the Reagan National Airport Friday and asked him about the border crisis, which he calls "terrible by all means." But he's not placing the blame squarely on one side ... saying Mexico could have done more to prevent it too.

He even reveals what he'd do differently if he was still running things in Mexico, and believes it would help all parties avoid more nasty incidents ... like tear gas being fired at migrants and their kids.

And, just because he doesn't rip POTUS in this case, don't put Vicente on the Trump Train ... because he's still got strong words about Donald's desired border wall.

Kodak Black found himself in handcuffs after a fight in the club, but fortunately for the rapper ... he didn't get arrested.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Kodak and his crew were hanging at the Playhouse Nightclub in Hollywood Friday night when a fight broke out a little after midnight. We're told police were called to the scene and squashed it, and Kodak was detained while they sorted everything out.

A video was uploaded to Instagram showing the rapper -- in a white shirt and orange shoes -- cuffed on the sidewalk.

Our sources say Kodak was let go shortly after the vid, though ... and won't face any charges. It's unclear if there were any other arrests.

We broke the story ... KB was released early from jail in August after serving 7 months for a probation violation. He'd been arrested back in January for grand theft with a firearm, possession of weapons by a felon, possession of more than 20 grams of weed, child neglect and 2 probation violation charges. He was facing 12 years behind bars, but 5 of the charges were dropped.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are husband and wife -- they tied the knot Saturday in a traditional Western ceremony but kicked off the celebration with an Indian tradition ... filled with family, booze and laughter.

The couple walked down the aisle in the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India. They both wore Ralph Lauren, according to People ... which is totally on point, considering they were both rocking RL for their "first date" at the 2017 Met Gala.

But, before they said "I do" ... they partied hard during an Indian tradition called the Mehendi. It's like a pre-reception, and based on these pics it was a laugh riot. Priyanka was a rocking a vibrant, flowing dress as she and Nick kicked off the celebration with close friends and family ... including Nick's bros and Joe Jonas' fianceé, "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner.

Priyanka said, "One of the most special things our relationship has given us is a merging of families who love and respect each other’s faiths and cultures."

After the wedding ceremony, the couple arranged for a massive fireworks display above the palace.

By the way, all the Jonas Bros -- Frankie, Kevin and Joe were Nick's groomsmen, as well as Priyanka's brother, Siddharth.

The party ain't over, though. They're reportedly having a second, traditional Indian, wedding ceremony on Sunday.

The woman who was attacked by Kareem Hunt repeatedly begged cops at the scene to view the hotel surveillance footage of the incident because she wanted to press charges ... but the officers told her it wasn't that simple.

You can see in police body cam footage obtained by TMZ Sports ... the woman was adamant she wanted to press charges against Hunt for the attack and allegedly stealing the SIM card from her phone.

She thought the best way to prove her allegations was for cops to go to the front desk of the hotel and ask the manager to show them the surveillance video.

But, cops told the woman they were stuck because the hotel is a "private facility" and "they don't have to show us unless they're ordered by a court."

The woman was disappointed but sounded serious about pursuing a case against Hunt anyway.

The responding officers eventually went upstairs and interviewed Hunt -- but he was never arrested and charges were never filed against him.

We know the hotel eventually turned over the surveillance video to investigators -- but we're not sure why prosecutors opted against filing a case considering what the video shows.

Tekashi69 ratted himself out -- on video, no less -- or at least that's what police think after seeing a clip of him saying he had a "30 pack" on the head of Chief Keef's cousin -- an apparent threat that lines up with an attempted shooting in NYC.

TMZ broke the story ... Tekashi FaceTime'd Keef's cousin, Tadoe, in late May and repeatedly asked for his location. The conversation went down on camera, in broad daylight, and we posted that video last week. At the end of the convo, the Brooklyn rapper clearly says, "I got a 30 pack on him right now, Blood."

The translation, we're told, is putting a $30k bounty on someone. Law enforcement sources tell us ... investigators working on the June 2 attempted shooting of Chief Keef are now convinced 6ix9ine ordered the hit.

As we reported, someone opened fire on Keef while he was outside the W Hotel in Times Square. We're told Tadoe was standing nearby at the time -- and the "30 pack" video changes NYPD's perspective on the shooting.

One law enforcement source said, "This is no coincidence. We believe the video is directly related to the crime. We believe Tekashi69 ordered the hit on Tadoe -- who we now believe is the intended target."

Cops have 2 persons of interest in the Time Square incident, and one is a "known associate" of 6ix9ine.

Kathy Hilton says she's sure her daughter won't live out her days single-and-ready-to-mingle ... but, honestly, she doesn't really seem THAT sure.

We got Paris' mom and dad leaving Mr Chow in Beverly Hills Friday night, and Kathy's all decked out in purple and gold pom poms. She and Rick were leaving Billy Idol's birthday party ... yeah, it's cool being rich and famous.

Anyway, even though the engagement's off between Paris and Chris Zylka, Kathy's got nothing but nice things to say about the guy ... and tells us she stays out of their business.

But, we had to ask ... do Paris' parents think their girl will ever be a bride? Rick believes he'll walk her down the aisle someday, but Kathy ... might need a little more convincing.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife, Beth Chapman, remains in the hospital following her throat cancer diagnosis ... but the family has already hatched a plan on where they'll head once she's released.

TMZ broke the story ... doctors discovered Beth's throat cancer, which she beat in 2017, was back following an emergency surgery Tuesday morning. She's been hospitalized ever since ... with doctors working to determine the best course of treatment.

Sources close to Beth say her medical team expects full test results by next week ... but until then, treatment options are unknown.

Our sources say one thing that has been decided ... Dog and family will head to their home in Colorado once Beth is released from the hospital. We're told the family has a large property there to offer them privacy while they determine the next steps for Beth.

The NFL has a ton of questions to answer on its handling of the Kareem Hunt situation, and Kim Kardashian West revealed it was more than just attraction that led to her sex tape with Ray J. So, we gotta ask ...

xx

Kareem Hunt's immediate release from the Kansas City Chiefs is the team's way of sending a STRONG message to all players ... according to ESPN's Cari Champion.

Cari was at the Ebony Power 100 event in Bev Hills Friday night, very shortly after the Chiefs reacted to the video TMZ Sports published ... showing Hunt shove, kick and throw a woman to the ground during a February incident in Cleveland.

She says the video forced the team's hand and they were "sending a message ... they're saying what's important to them and what they stand for."

The NFL has Hunt on its "exempt list" currently -- meaning he can't practice or play in a game right now, but he has not been banned or suspended. Point is ... he could land on another team eventually.

Cari believes everyone, even Hunt, deserves a second chance -- however, she said he needs to "start looking at the man in the mirror. You gotta do a Michael Jackson."
