12:33 PM PT -- Katherine is showing off her engagement ring after grabbing breakfast Monday with her younger sister, Christina ... check out that rock on her ring finger!

8:32 AM PT -- It appears Anna Faris is excited for the new couple too, commenting, "I'm so happy for you both!! Congratulations!"

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are engaged!!!

Chris posted this Monday AM ... "Sweet Katherine, so happy you said yes! I'm thrilled to be marrying you. Proud to live boldly in faith with you. Here we go!"

All the signs have been there for a few months ... he's been hanging with her entire fam, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. Chris, Katherine, Maria and Patrick Schwarzenegger were all just in Mexico together.

It was a super fast romance ... they met only last June, apparently through Maria. They were almost immediately inseparable, spending lots of time with Chris' 6-year-old son, Jack.

Chris and Anna Faris settled their divorce late last year. They separated in August 2017 after 8 years of marriage.

No word on when they're tying the knot.

So, Chris is going to become part of the Kennedy klan. Maria's mom, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, was the sister of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Ted Kennedy.

Congrats!!!

One of R. Kelly's alleged victims claims the singer posted private photos of her and sent a threatening letter in response to her appearing on the Lifetime docuseries "Surviving R. Kelly."

Faith Rodgers spoke at a news conference Monday in NYC flanked by her attorneys, Gloria Allred and Lydia Agu. Allred said apart from posting private photos of Faith on the Facebook page "Surviving Lies" -- before it was taken down -- Kelly also sent Faith a notarized letter saying he would reveal details of her sex life.

Hills says Kelly's retaliating because Faith sued him and spoke out in 'Surviving.'

Faith is the woman who sued Kelly back in May 2018 for sexual battery and false imprisonment. She also alleged Kelly gave her an STD.

You'll recall the STD criminal case was closed in Dallas but Faith plans to go to cops in NYC where she claims she was first sexually battered. Allred did say Faith would meet with NYPD investigators following the news conference.

Faith's mother was also at the news conference and said she and her husband have been threatened via phone and text messages.

4:00 PM PT -- Celine Dion's video with R. Kelly for "I'm Your Angel" has now been removed.

10:57 AM PT -- It looks like Chance the Rapper has removed his song with R. Kelly from streaming services without publicly announcing it. Their joint track, "Somewhere in Paradise," has been disabled on Spotify. Chance notably spoke out against R. Kelly in the wake of Lifetime's docuseries.

We've reached out to his team for further comment ... so far, no word back.

Celine Dion has followed Lady Gaga's cue and is pulling her collab with R. Kelly from all music services ... TMZ has learned.

The song -- "I'm Your Angel" -- was recorded in 1998 and appeared on her holiday album, "These are Special Times." R. Kelly wrote the song but it did not appear on any of his albums.

The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for 6 weeks. It went certified platinum and sold more than 1.5 million copies. It was also nominated for a Grammy.

The song is in the process of being pulled by Celine's team.

The move comes in the wake of the #MuteRKelly movement which was triggered by the Lifetime docuseries, "Surviving R. Kelly."

R. Kelly has collabed with a number of artists, but so far only Celine and Gaga have made the move to pull their songs. The band Phoenix apologized for collaborating with the singer but didn't pull the song.

R. Kelly might as well be record label-less right now -- because his current one has frozen him out ... putting new music on ice until the dust settles in his latest scandal ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with R. Kelly's contract and dealings with RCA/Sony tell us ... the label will not produce any of the singer's new music, it will not put money behind any of his projects, and it will not release any additional music until the criminal investigations in Georgia and other fallout resolve one way or the other.

We're told R. Kelly is pissed because he's been in the studio recording new music to fulfill the obligations under his RCA contract ... which requires 2 new albums.

Our sources say he's especially annoyed RCA/Sony won't provide money for music videos.

RCA/Sony is in a tough spot -- they can read the tea leaves and know they will have hell to pay in terms of PR if they release R. Kelly's songs in the wake of the growing #MuteRKelly movement.

On the other hand, the label has a deal with R. Kelly, and if they formally walk away from him now without any criminal charges to justify ending the contract ... they could be sued. We don't know if there's a "morals clause" in R. Kelly's contract ... which would allow the label to give him the boot for crossing the line.

It sounds like they could mutually agree to end things because we're told R. Kelly is very unhappy and if the label doesn't embrace him, he wants out. The problem ... where to go? On top of that, our sources say other artists are now turning him down for possible collabs.

In case you haven't noticed, Kelly has been releasing new music via social media and SoundCloud for a minute. Yes, R. Kelly is a SoundCloud singer ... at least, for now.

We've reached out to RCA/Sony for comment ... so far, no word back.

Some of biggest stars in the world -- from Adam Sandler to Jamie Foxx to Baker Mayfield -- came out to Malibu to play in a celeb softball game Sunday to raise a ton of money for a great cause.

It was all for the California Strong charity ... created by MLB stars Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun, Mike Moustakas and NFL star Jared Goff to help out people affected by the CA wildfires and the shooting at the Borderline Bar.

They called every star they knew ... and the stars came out in force to Pepperdine University to help.

Rainn Wilson, Mira Sorvino, Dennis Rodman, Brad Paisley, Charlie Sheen, Robin Thicke, Rob Riggle, Matt Leinart, Reggie Miller, Justin Turner and more turned up and balled out.

We're told the event raised a TON of money -- and helped the California Strong organization (in association with the Southeast Ventura County YMCA) cross a lifetime total of $1 MILLION in fundraising.

During the game, several checks were handed out to families affected by the fires -- and also to the Borderline Bar to help rebuild.

The crowd gave a huge ovation to the first responders.

Donald Trump thinks the Clemson football team -- a collection of some of the finest athletes in the country -- are a bunch of burger-scarfin', pizza-inhalin' gluttons ... so that's what he's serving 'em at the White House.

The National Champs are scheduled to meet with POTUS and 1600 Penn on Monday (weather permitting) and for some reason, Donald thinks he knows about the team's food preferences.

"I think we're going to serve McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King with some pizza," Trump said. "I really mean it, It will be interesting. And, I would think that's their favorite food."

No disrespect to Mickey D's or his highness, the Burger King ... but why would Trump think a bunch of broke college students would want fast food instead of a steak, sushi or fancy stuff they don't usually get in the school cafeteria?!

Dabo Swinney and his players are set to arrive at the White House Monday night. We'll see how they react to the menu.

For Lady Gaga, her victories at the Critics' Choice Awards are totally overshadowed this morning by the news her beloved horse is dying.

The singer hauled in 2 awards Sunday for Best Song and Best Actress for her performance in "A Star is Born" -- but skipped all the after-parties because she'd just found out about her horse, Arabella.

Lady Gaga posted an emotional tribute, saying, "Our souls and spirits were one."

No doubt Arabella was a huge part of Gaga's life. She's posted tons of pictures of her trusted steed over the years.

DJ Paul says R. Kelly will continue being a musical legend despite what happens with the fallout from Lifetime's docuseries -- even if the guy gets charged and convicted.

We got the Three 6 Mafia rapper Sunday at LAX, where he agreed with French Montana that R. Kelly should be allowed to enjoy his legacy ... despite allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse.

Paul takes it one step further, saying R. Kelly's personal life is separate from his music. He says Robert Kelly is totally distinguishable from R. Kelly.

The MC seems to be well aware of what Kelly has been accused of, but even so ... he insists R. Kelly's music will live on forever no matter what comes from all this.

The family of one of R. Kelly's alleged sex slaves is demanding a meeting with their daughter ... but ONLY if her alleged captor isn't there.

A family attorney for Joycelyn Savage's parents fired off a letter to Kelly's attorney, Steven Greenberg, Monday morning that spelled out a request for an in-person meeting between Joycelyn and her folks, Timothy and Jonjelyn Savage. They don't want R. Kelly there.

In the letter, obtained by TMZ, the Savages' lawyer says some of Kelly's former associates have made threats against Tim and Jonjelyn, which they say are now being investigated in Henry County, GA. This appears to be a different criminal investigation than the one that's already underway in nearby Fulton County, GA.

The Savages also make another thing clear ... they're terrified for their lives and refuse to meet with Joycelyn in Chicago without the presence of law enforcement.

The Savages say they want to meet with Joycelyn to determine once and for all whether her relationship with Kelly is in fact consensual. Ideally, they'd like to meet in Atlanta ... but say they're willing to meet in Chi-Town, only if it's at the State Attorney's Office.

President Trump had time to reflect on Jeff Bezos' divorce drama -- and he let it rip on Sunday by trashing the Amazon honcho ... while praising the National Enquirer.

Trump just tweeted, "So sorry to hear the news about Jeff Bozo being taken down by a competitor whose reporting, I understand, is far more accurate than the reporting in his lobbyist newspaper, the Amazon Washington Post."

DT continued ... "Hopefully the paper will soon be placed in better & more responsible hands!"

Bezos owns WaPo -- and, of course, Trump doesn't like the way they cover him ... much like the "Failing New York Times." Regarding the Nat'l Enquirer, the tabloid published alleged text messages between Bezos and GF Lauren Sanchez after he announced he and MacKenzie Bezos were getting a divorce.

Trump seems to be implying that the paper forced Jeff's hand.

We broke the story ... Jeff and MacKenzie don't have a prenup, and his $137 billion fortune could be on the line as the divorce proceeds.

It's interesting that Trump's weighing in on the Bezos situation at more length now than he did on Thursday ... when he wished Jeff luck and said the divorce would be a "beauty."

The Cleveland Cavaliers finally broke their 12-game losing streaking against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Sunday -- while Khloe Kardashian was in the stands cheering on her man Tristan Thompson.

Coincidence? She thinks not!

Khloe and TT were leaving Craig's after the game -- all smiles in great moods -- where they jokingly took the credit for the big 101-95 win over the LeBron-less Lakers at Staples Center.

In all seriousness, Tristan had a solid game, posting a double-double (15 points, 14 rebounds) -- and he's having a pretty solid year overall.

No sign of their daughter True out last night -- but there was definitely baby on brain for our photog ... who asked the couple if they were planning on having any more adorable kids in the future.

The 24th Critics' Choice Awards are in full swing and we're taking you behind the scenes.

Tons of stars showed up Sunday for the second wave of award-giving for the best TV shows and movies of the year -- according to critics anyway, from Santa Monica's Barker Hangar.

Some of the A-listers ... Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, Sam Elliott, Spike Lee, Adam Driver, John David Washington, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Viggo Mortensen, Regina King ... and a ton of other big celebs too.

There's no holding Tekashi69 down ... 'cause he's crankin' out music in the slammer like crazy.

Sources close to 6ix9ine tell TMZ ... Tekashi's spending most of his time behind bars writing and producing songs for his next album. He's even created visuals for the record.

We're told the circumstances of his incarceration have worked in his favor. On the negative side, he's facing possible life imprisonment for the various charges, and the negative forces have inspired some serious writing.

On the positive side, the rapper's getting strong support from family, close friends and girlfriend Jade, who proudly displayed this butt grab behind bars.

6ix9ine's been working out and is actually healthier now than before he was locked up.

He's actually been getting inspiration from some of his fellow inmates ... listening to their life stories.

Steph Curry is the most famous person to EVER play basketball at Davidson College (by far!) ... so, why hasn't his jersey been retired?!

Simple -- Steph's gotta get his degree first. Seriously.

Remember, Steph is a LEGEND at Davidson, where he was a consensus 1st Team All-American and famously led the Wildcats to the Elite 8 in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.

So, when we spotted Steph's old college coach, Bob McKillop out in D.C., we had to get an explanation for why Steph's old #30 jersey ain't hangin' in the rafters.

"I think he's in the process of completing his degree," McKillop told us after heaping TONS of praise on his old player.

We followed up with the school and athletic director Chris Clunie told us that Steph is still actively working on his degree ... and as soon as he completes his education, boom -- the jersey gets retired.

Clunie says the school is extremely proud of all that Steph has accomplished on and off the court. They love the guy.

A 60-year-old clipping of Marilyn Monroe's hair is up for grabs, and as an added bonus ... it comes with a sexy glamour shot of the blonde bombshell.

The lock of hair -- approximately 35 strands worth -- is from the collection of Kenneth Battelle, who served as the icon's hairdresser from 1958 until her death in 1962.

Monroe's mane comes in a specially designed glass frame, along with a framed photo of her. It's all presented in a flat paper box with Battelle's customized calling card under the lid ... which he dated June 14, 1959.

We're told the hairdresser had several of these pieces featuring Marilyn's hair made as gifts for his closest friends.

"The Bachelor" contestant Cristy Caserta died as a result of an enlarged heart and an overactive thyroid ... TMZ has learned.

According to the autopsy report, obtained by TMZ, Caserta's cause of death was cardiomegaly and hyperthyroidism. As we reported ... Caserta was only 38 when she died suddenly back in October after suffering an apparent seizure.

She was attending a class at a school in Sunrise, FL when she just fell forward at the desk where she was sitting. Caserta went into cardiac arrest and was shortly thereafter pronounced dead.
