Terrence Howard Pops the Question ... to Ex-Wife Mira Pak

Published | Updated

Terrence Howard wants another go-around at marriage life with his ex-wife, Mira Pak ... so he proposed to her over the weekend and she said yes!!!

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... the "Empire" star popped the question Sunday night at Crustacean Beverly Hills in front of friends and family. They were all dressed for the occasion ... Terrence dapper as usual and Mira in an elegant gown.

Mira's main accessory was a doozy ... a beautiful 7-carat VVS diamond and rose gold engagement ring commissioned by celeb jeweler Ben Baller. We're told the ring is worth about a million bucks.

After the proposal, Terrence gave an emotional toast in front of Mira and her friends ... saying, "It took me 45 years to find you but now that I have you in my 50th year, I will spend the rest of eternity at your side."

Terrence and Mira go way back -- they were married in 2013 but she filed for divorce in 2015 while she was pregnant with the couple's first kid, Qirin. They rekindled earlier this year and sparks flew again like never before.

This isn't the first time Terrence has married an ex-wife. You'll recall he married Lori McCommas in 1989. They divorced in 2003 but they got married again in 2005 ... only to divorce 2 years later. Terrence was also briefly married to Michelle Ghent from 2010 to 2013.

Second time's a charm, right? Congrats!!!

KRISTMAS AT THE KARDASHIANS

The Kardashians broke with tradition Monday ... their big Xmas Eve bash was not held at Kris' krib ... but it definitely did not disappoint.

The party went down at the Hidden Hills home of Kim and Kanye, and gotta say ... it was pretty spectacular. The main party area was kinda dream-like ... with fluffy clouds scattered about.

Kim and Kanye had a bunch of snow hauled in, so the kids could sled down a slope.

The guest list was impressive -- J Lo, Alex Rodriguez, Sia, Paris Hilton, Dave Chappelle, Kimora Lee Simmons and Tyler, the Creator.

And, get this ... the singer -- John Legend, who performed a bunch of songs off his Xmas album, "A Legendary Christmas."

Check out North planted on Kanye's shoulders as he dances to his buddy, John.

The Kardashians Xmas card this year is predominantly girls. It's pretty fitting that the matriarch of the predominantly female family was given a baller gift ... for Christmas, Kris got a custom-made Goyard suitcase, which runs upwards of $15k.

Just another fashionable reminder that they're rich as f***.

LeBron James Apologizes for 'Jewish Money' IG Post 21 Savage Follows Suit

Published | Updated

12/25 -- 21 Savage has also apologized ... saying, "the Jewish people I know are very wise with [their] money so that's why I said we been gettin Jewish money. I never thought anyone would take offense. I'm sorry if I offended everybody. Never my intention. I love all people."

LeBron James busted out a big "Sleecha" to Jewish people on Sunday -- after posting a photo on Instagram with the caption, "Getting that Jewish money."

Long story short, LeBron says he thought it was a "compliment" to Jews.

James was actually quoting a lyric from the 21 Savage rap song "ASMR" -- but there was a backlash online from people who felt someone as famous and powerful as LeBron shouldn't be pushing old Anti-Semitic stereotypes.

"Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone," James told ESPN ... "That's not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That's what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it."

"So, I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously it wasn't through the lens of a lot of people. My apologies. It definitely was not the intent, obviously, to hurt anybody."

Despite LeBron's intent, there have been hundreds of books and articles written over the years about why the "Jews and Money" stereotype is a dangerous one.

Quite simply, it's been used a rallying cry to fuel anti-Semitism for hundreds of years.

As far as the NBA is involved, ESPN reports he will not be fined for the posting the lyrics.

Donald Trump Crushes Child's Dream ... You Still Believe in Santa???

Published | Updated

Donald Trump spread a little Christmas pain when he challenged a 7-year-old child who apparently dares to still believe in Santa Claus.

Trump and Melania fielded some NORAD calls on Xmas Eve, when the President asked the child if he still believes in Santa. It seems the kid said he did, and Trump responded, "At 7 it's marginal, right?"

Trump bitched the other day that he was sitting in the White House alone after the government shut down over the budget crisis. He had planned to spend the holiday at Mar-a-Lago.

This is the first time Trump has appeared in public since the shutdown began 3 days ago.

$200 doesn't sound like a lot ... but it looks like he hit a bullseye to land what he needed before Xmas.

Joe Giudice, DMX & Cosby Prison Menus Got 'em Dreaming of a Cornish Christmas

Published | Updated

Joe Giudice's last Christmas in America is shaping up to be bittersweet, because it means he's just months away from being deported ... but he also gets to chow down on some fancy fowl.

TMZ's obtained prison menus from across the country, and locked-up celebs are being treated to some pretty decent Christmas cuisine ... including individual Cornish game hens for both Joe and DMX.

Guys like Bill Cosby and Suge Knight aren't so lucky, but will still get their fill of meat, potatoes and dessert. As for Mystikal ... well, his meal's not so merry. Here's a breakdown of their options:

Giudice at Pennsylvania's FCI Allenwood Low prison:

- Cornish game hen or broccoli quiche, cornbread dressing, whole kernel corn, baked sweet potato, chicken gravy, cranberry sauce, salad, dinner rolls and pie.
- Christmas Eve is a bit more downscale ... just chili and cornbread.

The 'Real Housewives of NJ' star is doing time for fraud and will be deported back to his native Italy when he's released in March.

DMX at West Virginia's Gilmer prison:

- Cornish game hen, deli sandwich, PB&J sandwich and chips. Inmates also get a $50 bump in commissary funds for December to use on chocolates, cookies and peanut cluster bars.

X is serving 12 months for tax evasion.

Cosby at Pennsylvania's SCI Phoenix:

- Roast beef, bean burger, whipped potatoes, gravy, green beans, creamy coleslaw, dinner rolls and baked fruit pie. Zero Jell-O.

Cosby got 3 to 10 years for sexual assault.

Suge Knight at California's Wasco State Prison:

- Turkey or chicken, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, salad, veggies, cranberry sauce and ice cream.

Suge struck a plea deal in September in his murder case and started a 28-year sentence.

Mystikal at Louisiana's Caddo Correctional Center:

- 2 turkey dogs, potato salad, greens and cake. In other words, nothing special.

The rapper's being held in lieu of $3 mil while awaiting trial for rape.

Logan Paul Hey, Dana White 'Get Your Head Out Your Ass and Sign Me!!!'

Published | Updated

Logan Paul says Dana White needs to "get his head out of his ass" and sign him to a UFC fight already -- because it's easy money for everyone involved.

Remember, Paul fought YouTube star KSI in a boxing match earlier this year -- and got real praise from real UFC stars including Tyron Woodley and UFC color commentator Joe Rogan.

Paul had said he wants a UFC fight next, but White shot him down saying he'd get hurt if he got in the Octagon with a real MMA fighter.

But, Paul says that's a bunch of crap -- telling TMZ Sports he's already proven he can hold his own in a fight ... and would dedicate himself to training if the two sides worked out a deal.

"If I get the chance to fight in the UFC, that's my life," Paul says.

"Dana, what's good? The people want it man!"

Of course, Paul's opponent would be a huge factor -- Logan says he understands he's not ready for a shot with a killer like Khabib ... but he WOULD be down to fight Conor McGregor.

"I would be honored for Conor to rip my head off."

Stay tuned ...

'Botched' Star Terry Dubrow Sued You Botched My Breast Implants!!! ... Patient Claims

Published | Updated

UPDATE: 5:23 PM PT -- Dr. Dubrow sent us his statement, saying it is "incredibly rude of TMZ to run a story like this on Xmas Eve. The bad karma is incredible."

Dr. Terry Dubrow is famous for fixing plastic surgeries gone wrong on his reality TV show, but one of his recent patients claims he's responsible for screwing up her breast implants ... this according to a new lawsuit.

According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Tina Andrade claims the "Botched" star performed her breast implant surgery in October 2016, but Dr. Dubrow did such a poor job she's in need of a second surgery to fix the damage.

In the docs, Tina claims she went to Dr. Dubrow's practice in Newport Beach for the surgery, and instead of getting a better bust, Tina claims Dr. Dubrow improperly placed and installed her breast implants.

Tina is suing Dr. Dubrow for negligence and medical malpractice, and she's seeking damages for lost wages, physical and psychological damages, and medical expenses.

We've reached out to Dr. Dubrow ... so far, no word back.
