Penny Marshall died from heart failure, heart disease and complications from diabetes ... this according to her death certificate.

We obtained Penny's death certificate, issued Monday ... and it lists heart failure as the primary cause of death. The document also says cardiovascular disease and diabetes were contributing factors.

TMZ broke the story -- Penny died December 17 in her Hollywood Hills home -- the certificate lists 9:10 PM as her time of death.

The famed actress and director of huge films like "Big," "The Preacher's Wife" and "League of Their Own" was cremated 10 days after she died.

"Big" star, Tom Hanks, was one of the first to post a tribute to Penny after her death, saying, "Goodbye, Penny. Man, did we laugh a lot! Wish we still could. Love you. Hanx."

Matt Barnes just got a massive reduction in how much he'll have to pay Gloria Govan in child support for their twin boys.

Barnes -- who was paying Govan $20,000 a month -- will now have to pay just $7,500 per month. The two have 10-year-old twins, Carter and Isaiah together ... so it works out to $3,750 per kid.

The reduction comes on the heels of Barnes getting awarded sole legal and physical custody of the twins last month ... and an 18-month restraining order against Govan.

TMZ previously reported, Gloria was arrested the Friday before Labor Day after Matt claimed she put the lives of their twin boys at risk by allegedly flying into a rage in her car, blocking Matt and the kids from driving away from their school.

"Vanderpump Rules" star Brittany Cartwright was allegedly attacked after a confrontation with a woman on a flight ... and got a wad of gum put in her hair.

Cartwright claims she was using the first class bathroom on a Delta flight to Miami Sunday when a woman shook the handle several times. Cartwright says once she got out of the restroom she showed the woman where the sign said occupied as she was using it.

Brittany says once they landed, the woman waited for her to get off the plane and then pushed and grabbed her hair. Cartwright says it wasn't until she got home that the woman had put gum in her hair.

As for the woman ... Cartwright says she has the woman's flight information and plans on pressing charges.

Cardi B is partial to the land down under ... she likes the people, the fruit, the caviar and the way they celebrate New Year's.

Cardi performed in Perth on Sunday and Monday, and she was awestruck by the way the Aussies ring in the New Year.

She was also awestruck by the fruit and seafood platter, sampling caviar for the first time. Cardi posted video of her trip on a private jet to Sydney, where she's clearly living in style.

She's definitely way happier than she was Monday in Australia ... when she railed on people starting baseless rumors about her and other celebrities and said she would never conform to the "norms" of being famous.

Ariana Grande had Mac Miller on her mind Sunday night, when she posted this pic of the late rapper's hands on a keyboard.

Our sources say Ariana is still trying to cope with her ex-boyfriend's death ... a tragedy that has weighed her down in a tumultuous year, which included her bad breakup with ex-fiance Pete Davidson. She also took heat over her posts about Kanye and mental health ... something that set Pete off when he threatened to kill himself a few weeks back.

Ariana deleted the pic during the night ... unclear why.

TMZ broke the story ... Mac died from an accidental overdose back in September, after ingesting a fatal combination of fentanyl and cocaine.

You're gonna be partying and drinking your ass off on New Year's Eve ... and so will Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Future, but those rappers are raking in LOADS of cash for their services.

We're told Nicki and Weezy will be performing at LIV Nightclub in Miami and for their appearance, they're collecting a total of $250k between the two. If you think that's low, you're right because it is. We're told the rappers are super tight with the owner, David Grutman, so they didn't ask for their top rate.

Future's making out like a king out in Vegas. He's performing at Drai's and will pocket a sweet $400k check for grabbing the mic and doing his thing.

Lil Baby & Gunna are getting $110k total for a show at the Masonic Temple in Detroit, and rapper Sheck Wes will be Down Under in Australia ... raking in more than $110k.

Sweet gigs if you can get them.

Celine Dion played the air guitar, sang along and clapped her hands for Lady Gaga during the "Bad Romance" singer's second show of her Las Vegas residency.

Dion -- who has had a residency of her own for years -- had one of the best seats in the house Sunday night for Gaga's Enigma show at the Park Theatre in the Park MGM Resort. Celine totally jams out to "You and I" ... even encouraging the crowd to let loose too.

Lady Gaga's residency began on Friday night, and reviews have been excellent -- with many calling the show very energetic and theatrical -- though nothing was more theatrical than Dion's dance moves.

LeBron James just settled the G.O.A.T. debate, at least the way he sees it ... claiming the crown for himself thanks to the Cavaliers win against the Golden State Warriors for the 2016 NBA Championship.

James was chatting with a couple buddies on "More Than An Athlete" Sunday when the GS series came up. Without hesitation, LeBron says he knew winning that series made him the greatest player of all time.

You'll remember, LeBron's Cavaliers found themselves in a 3-1 hole that year and battled back to win it all in Game 7. LeBron burst into tears at the buzzer when celebrating with his teammates.

As if Louis C.K. hadn't already hit bottom, he just went even lower by attacking victims of the Parkland massacre in a stand-up set ... this according to leaked audio of his new material.

In audio that surfaced online Sunday, you can hear Louis performing new jokes in front of an audience ... and, at one point, he mocks the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting from this past February. Specifically, he seems to be talking about Emma Gonzalez, David Hogg and others who've been vocal about implementing gun control.

The audio first appeared on a YouTube page that has since been removed ... the description said this set took place on December 16. It's unclear where exactly he performed.

The jokes are vile. First, Louis attacks the youth of this generation ... comparing them to himself in his 20s, and saying kids these days are simply too PC, well-behaved, and opinionated. He also cracks jokes about non-binary people ... and then goes after the Parkland kids.

Louis says the kids who survived are not interesting just because they went to a high school where people were shot, and that he shouldn't have to listen to them just because they "pushed some fat kid in the way."

There were a lot of sad and shocking celebrity deaths in 2018, and unfortunately once again ... many were the result of tragedies and stars taking their own lives.

The rap world lost up-and-coming artist XXXTentacion, who was shot and killed, and Mac Miller, who died from an accidental overdose.

Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade, Avicii and several others died by suicide,

There was also an abundance of health-related deaths -- both expected and unexpected. The celeb world also lost legends like Aretha Franklin, Burt Reynolds, and Stan Lee ... while powerful political figures like John McCain, Barbara Bush and George H. W. Bush also passed.

Take a look back at who we've lost in Hollywood and beyond this year.

Warrick Dunn says the NFL missed a huge opportunity by picking Travis Scott for its Super Bowl halftime show ... saying it shoulda been an Atlanta artist instead.

The former Falcons RB tells TMZ Sports he's got no issues with the "SICKO MODE" rapper ... but says an ATL legend could have had a much bigger impact during the SB show.

"Atlanta has its own unique feel," Dunn says.

Warrick tells us the plan from the start shoulda been to have Outkast be the headliner -- with other ATL music legends like T.I. and Jermaine Dupri joining them on stage.

"You show them the flavor of the history of all the great music that was produced that helped propel young careers today."

Dunn added that show could have "Showed America what really good music could be."

Vendela Lindblom's officially shaken the stigma of women with shaved heads made infamous by Britney Spears more than a decade ago ... by making history as the first Playboy Playmate with the hot hairstyle.

We got the Swedish-born model outside Amoeba Records in Hollywood and asked how she managed to land in the pages of the iconic magazine ... she says a lot of girl power's to thank.

Vendela's not really sure why it took so long for a buzz cut Playmate, but she says the time is right now and she's happy to be the first.

She also reveals who she'd vote for as the hottest woman out there with a buzz cut ... no arguments from us.

As for the comparisons to Britney circa 2007 ... Lindblom's a good sport. But, she wants to make it very clear her look is completely by choice ... no mental breakdowns led to the 'do.

A member of Canadian pop band Walk off the Earth died this weekend just as the group was about to play a New Year's Eve show and embark on an international tour.

WotE announced Mike 'Beard Guy' Taylor's passing Sunday on their official social media pages, saying he had died peacefully Saturday in his sleep of natural causes ... but did not elaborate further.

In their statement, the band says ... "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved brother and band member, Mike 'Beard Guy' Taylor. Mike had a love for life that was unmatched and a willingness to give that went beyond ordinary means."

They add ... "He passed peacefully from natural causes last night in his sleep. Our deepest sympathies are with his two children, whom he adored more than anything else in the world. We ask for privacy for his family in this trying time."

Mike was a multi-instrumentalist, but primarily played keyboards and provided vocals for Walk off the Earth. He joined the band sometime after it formed in 2006.

Walk off the Earth is most famous for their 2012 cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know," in which all five members played one guitar together while singing it. The video went viral at the time.

The band was set to play a gig Monday in Niagara Falls. They were also scheduled to hit the road this coming February here in the States, Canada and in Europe.

Unclear if they still plan on moving forward with either at this point.

Post Malone is out here rapping Cowboys victories into existence -- and with a crazy win over the Giants, he celebrated in the best way possible ... making the other guy wear your team's gear.

The Texas native was at the Cowboys/Giants game Sunday in NY, where he was surrounded by Giants fans ... one of whom we're told he made a bet with. It was simple -- if my Cowboys win, ya gotta rock my Cowboys jacket. Well, they won all right ... in epic fashion.

With just about a minute left, Dak Prescott threw what you might call a Hail Mary down the field to Cole Beasley, who made an incredible catch in the end zone. At first, it looked like he was out of bounds and the pass was incomplete, but upon further review ... it was ruled a TD.

The Cowboys made a two-point conversion after that and went on to win it 36-35. Post, of course, was ecstatic ... and, of course, followed up on the bet by making the Giants fan put on his Dallas coat. In this clip, obtained by TMZ, you can see the guy was a good sport.

What's even crazier ... Post rapped about this exact same scenario happening in his new single, "Wow." ... almost down to a tee.
