Damon Dash says he's turning himself in to deal with outstanding warrants for failure to pay child support -- but tells us his exes are lying, and he's got proof.

The rap mogul tells TMZ ... he'll surrender to authorities in NYC nearly 3 years after a family court judge first signed a warrant for his arrest. Damon's accused of owing nearly $400k in support to Cindy Morales, mother of his son, Lucky -- and to his ex-wife, Rachel Roy, with whom he has daughters Ava and Tallulah.

Dame says the warrants are BS because he's given both women more than enough dough -- including $150k he gave Cindy for a home. He also claims Rachel draws her payments directly from his share of Rachel Roy Collection ... the clothing company they co-own.

As for why he's finally dealing with this -- Dash says the warrants prevent him from traveling back to NY, and he's just missing too many important events ... like family funerals.

He says he's even willing to sit in jail but definitely won't cop to any allegations he's not taking care of his 3 kids.

Canelo Alvarez says he's dead serious about setting up a rematch with Floyd Mayweather -- and his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, says Floyd has more than a BILLION reasons to make it happen.

"If Floyd Mayweather decides to come back, a fight with him and Canelo could be a $1.5 billion fight," Oscar tells TMZ Sports.

Of course, Canelo and Floyd initially fought in 2013 -- with Floyd dominating the then-23-year-old rising star. Floyd got a $41 million guarantee for that fight, which was a record payday at the time.

But, things have changed in a BIG way since then. Mayweather claims he made more than $300 MILLION per fight for his bouts with Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor.

Canelo's value has also gone way up -- he recently signed a $365 MILLION fight contract with DAZN after notching impressive wins over huge stars like Miguel Cotto, Amir Khan, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Gennady Golovkin.

Oscar says he's realistic about the chances of making the rematch happen -- and even clowns Floyd taking easy fights against tomato can opponents like Tenshin Nasukawa.

But, Canelo says he's out for revenge -- and hopes he can convince Floyd to strap on the gloves for one final war.

"I would love to have the opportunity to avenge that defeat," Canelo told us through a translator.

In the meantime, Canelo is gearing up for his May 4 fight against Daniel Jacobs to unify the middleweight belts.

'Love & Hip Hop' star Tommie Lee desperately wants to move to Cali, but the judge just told her ... I don't think so -- and it's all due to her long criminal history.

Remember, Tommie is out on bond in her Georgia child abuse case ... and according to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge denied her request to move to L.A. for work. She also asked to ditch her ankle monitoring device, but again the judge said no way after reviewing her lengthy rap sheet.

In docs, the judge noted her criminal history stretches back some 15 years with multiple convictions for theft, fraud and deceptive conduct ... even while on probation.

It damn sure didn't help her case that Tommie was arrested twice within 24 hours for the child abuse case that prompted her wearing the monitoring device.

As we first reported, she's been indicted and faces a possible 54 years in prison.

Tom Sizemore caught a HUGE break in his drug case after striking a plea deal ... but he's not out of the woods just yet.

The Burbank City Attorney's Office tells TMZ ... the actor entered a pretrial drug diversion program as well as a drug prevention program, which he'll have to complete as part of the deal. Tom also must keep his nose clean for at least a year. The judge can cut him free in 12 months if Tom makes a lot of progress, but if he doesn't the judge can extend the drug programs another 6 months.

If all goes according to plan ... prosecutors will drop the case.

TMZ broke the story ... Tom faced the possibility of a year in jail after he was busted in January and charged with 2 counts of possession of heroin and 2 counts of possession of medication without a prescription.

Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale are going strong one month after they were seen together hand-in-hand -- and now ... they're pouring their romance on the rocks.

That bad ice joke is just a fun way to say that Pete and Kate are taking in some hockey Sunday in NYC, where they're watching a close game between the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals (it's 2-2 in overtime as of this writing).

Check out their view -- primo seating right behind the team's bench ... even though it looks like they couldn't keep their eyes off each other.

This day date is actually a follow-up to another outing for the rumored couple just the night before. Pete and Kate were spotted leaving an 'SNL' after-party Saturday night after Pete got done taping the show. They were holding hands again ... so yeah, they seem to be a thing.

Remember, Pete and Kate left one of Pete's shows back in February in similar fashion ... handsy all the way through with Pete leading the way.

His ex-fiancee, Ariana Grande, gave her blessing not too long afterward, saying they looked great together. It's true ... they really do.

4:50 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us that authorities did NOT find an explosive device at the daycare center.

4:15 PM PT -- Chicago PD just confirmed the details of the bomb scare to TMZ ... saying multiple calls came in Saturday reporting a bomb threat, adding that the daycare center was evacuated. Luckily, no one was injured ... but cops are still investigating.

The woman who paid for R. Kelly's bail got a bomb threat at a business she reportedly owns ... which just so happens to be a daycare.

Multiple people called in a bomb threat Saturday at a local daycare center ... according to WBBM reporter Brad Edwards, who first reported the story. Valencia P. Love has direct ties to the biz, and some reports say she's the owner.

Edwards goes on to report that Chicago PD doesn't have anyone in custody and that the local bomb and arson squads cleared the scene. Cops are currently investigating the bomb threat.

Love is reportedly still listed as a "registered agent" of the daycare center -- but according to local outlets, the daycare itself and the Dept. of Children and Family Services says Love no longer works there.

You'll recall ... Love posted the $100k bond R. Kelly needed to get out jail in Chicago last week. She also posted a lengthy statement afterward, saying R. Kelly wasn't a monster ... and that she was inclined to believe he's innocent of the charges he's facing.

The bomb threat would appear to have been made by someone pissed at Love for supporting Kelly.

Still, it's reminiscent of the shooting threat that was called in just a few months ago during the NYC screening of "Surviving R. Kelly." Law enforcement sources told TMZ ... the NYPD was looking into someone with a Chicago area code as a person of interest.

R. Kelly's ex-wife, Andrea Kelly, told Variety that she believed R. Kelly was connected to that threat.

UFC's new welterweight champ, Kamaru Usman, just can't wait to get a piece of Colby Covington -- so much so, in fact, that they almost came to blows inside a casino.

The two MMA fighters faced off (again) Sunday at the Palm Casino Resort in Vegas -- just a day after Kamaru man-handled former welterweight champ Tyron Woodley ... and was announced to fight Colby next by UFC prez Dana White.

It's also less than 24 hours after Kamaru and Colby nearly got into it just after Saturday night's UFC event. As he was leaving the Octagon, Kamaru came straight at Colby ... who was sitting nearby in the crowd rockin' a MAGA hat and his belt.

They were broken up and escorted away, but this time around ... there weren't as many security guards on hand to keep them separated near the A.Y.C.E. buffet in the Palm. The scene is pretty tense, as there were women and children around.

Check out the clip -- it's hard to tell who the initial aggressor was, but it looks like Kamaru's camp, including UFC manager Ali Abdelaziz, really tries to go in and attack Colby -- who circles back to get closer to Kamaru as punches are thrown by Ali ... but don't really connect.

Later in the video, you hear Colby tell someone on the phone that he just got swung on by Ali.

Eyewitnesses tell us more security showed up just in time before things got really out of control, and both men were escorted out of the building. We're told cops weren't called for this altercation.

10:40 AM PT -- Janice's manager tells us she's been battling a combination of bronchitis and lupus and the blood clot was actually in her lungs.

9:20 AM PT -- Miley just posted a photo of a rainbow with a tribute to Janice.

"The Voice" singer Janice Freeman -- one of Miley Cyrus' favorites on the show -- died Saturday, from an apparent blood clot ... TMZ has learned.

Janice's family tells us she was at home in West Covina with her husband, Dion, when she started complaining she couldn't breathe. Dion called 911 and had to perform CPR on her until paramedics arrived. She was pronounced dead around 5:30 PM at a hospital.

We're told it appears a blood clot had traveled to her heart. Janice had a slew of serious health issues, having battled lupus, cervical cancer -- which she'd beaten -- and meningitis.

The singer went deep into season 13 of "The Voice" back in 2017. Janice was on 'Team Miley' and made it to the top 11.

She and Miley stayed in touch after the show. Back in 2018, Janice posted a very emotional thank you to Miley for helping her out financially when she and her family were searching for a place to live.

Janice is survived by her husband and daughter. She was 33.

RIP

Teyana Taylor was right when she said you're gonna love her -- 'cause there's not much else you can do when she shows up to the beach wearing this little get-up.

The G.O.O.D. Music singer was out in Miami with her daughter Saturday, where she hit up a beach wearing a sheer leopard print bodysuit without much coverage around back. It's kinda hard to see, but Teyana's got a tattoo of a national flag on her right cheek.

Mexico? Italy? It's not exactly clear ... but we're happy to take our time to figure it out.

BTW ... no sign of her husband, Iman Shumpert, here. The Houston Rockets -- who recently acquired him in a trade -- were in town this past week to play the Heat, but it looks like Teyana was out here by herself with their kid for some quality mother-daughter time.

Roseanne Barr is unloading on the #MeToo movement with some jaw-dropping comments that rival the ones that cost her her sitcom.

She was the guest Saturday on Candace Owens' show when the ultra-conservative host lit the fuse by saying she was sick of "Lena Dunham types going around saying we want this now, now, now." She added ... the whole "believe women thing" was out of control.

Then Roseanne tapped in, taking a shot at women who complain about sexual misconduct years later. She said they should've run out of the room ... "But, you stayed around 'cause you're like, 'Well, I thought maybe he was gonna give me a writing job.' Well, you ain't nothing but a ho."

The fireworks were just beginning. Roseanne also dragged Mike Tyson into it, saying he calls #MeToo, You Too ... because it will eventually get you.

And, then there was her take on anti-Semitism in middle America -- or as she puts it, "obese people from the Midwest."

If there's one thing Jon Jones knows, it's that Las Vegas LOVES a winner, and he got mad amounts of love inside one nightclub ... hours after he defended his title in UFC 235.

The light heavyweight champ celebrated his victory over Anthony Smith at On The Record -- the speakeasy inside Park MGM -- and was swarmed by fans and friends, raising glass after glass of champagne to him.

Jones was looking pretty pristine after going 5 rounds in the Octagon ... and he probably took more selfies inside the club than he did shots to the face during the bout.

Jon told TMZ Sports he wants to rattle off 50 straight wins -- a la Floyd Mayweather -- and Saturday night was a great launching point ... he won by unanimous decision.

Even from the road ... Travis Scott is doing everything he can to patch things up with Kylie Jenner on the heels of her accusing him of cheating.

Travis played NYC's Madison Square Garden Saturday night -- his first show after he pulled the plug in Buffalo Thursday night to pow-wow with Kylie. He never mentioned the allegation directly, but told the packed arena to always "remember to keep your family first."

TMZ broke the story ... KJ confronted her baby daddy after she believed she found evidence he was cheating. For the record, Travis' people say he absolutely never did step out on Kylie -- still, he had to mend fences at home ... hence the postponed gig.

Everything seemed back to normal -- onstage, at least -- at the Garden. Trav closed the show with "SICKO MODE" and made sure to show his NYC fans some love but, more importantly ... he saved his closing shout out for "wifey."

As we first told you ... Kylie's not blowing up their fam, she intends to work on the relationship, and so does Travis.

Offset is becoming a better father and a better man, and it's all thanks to Cardi B ... so says one of the rapper's baby mamas.

Shya L'amour, the mother of Offset's oldest daughter, Kalea, tells us she's noticed tremendous growth from Offset over the last few years ... and she's giving Cardi all the credit.

It's quite the change in tune from Shya, who made headlines this week when she lashed out at Offset over some lyrics in his new album, "Father Of 4."

As you know ... Shya was PISSED when she heard how Offset portrayed their relationship in one of his new songs -- claiming he didn't know if he was Kalea's father.

Offset raps ... "Kalea, you my first, first daughter. I missed the first years of your life, I'm sorry. Tell the truth, I ain't really know if I was your father. Tell the truth, I really don't even know your mama."

Shya, who's also in the music biz, tells us she just wanted to share her side of things ... because Offset's lyrics hurt her.

Chris Martin is consciously celebrating his birthday with his ex-wife and a ton of their famous friends.

The Coldplay frontman hit 42 on Saturday and marked the occasion with a huge bash at his Malibu crib. Of course, Gwyneth was there ... along with Julia Roberts and Sean Penn, who arrived at the same time.

"Shameless" star Jeremy Allen White also showed up for his buddy's Earthday bash. Now, far as we know, Chris didn't have to sing for his cake -- instead, they had a mariachi band to handle the entertainment.

Chris' potential future mother-in-law Melanie Griffith was there too, but interestingly ... no shots of GF Dakota Johnson. Maybe she was somewhere getting ready to jump out of the cake.

And not that there's any question by now as to how tight Chris and Gwyneth still are -- but she also posted a sweet birthday note for him. #ModelExes

President Trump finally made it to Vietnam -- but he did it using a ton of taxpayer dollars ... and got a whole lot of nothin' out of it from North Korea.

TMZ did some digging on the cost of Trump's second summit with Kim Jong-un in Hanoi, and turns out it was at least $1.3 million ... much of which went toward putting Americans up for a couple of nights and making sure they were cozy.

According to federal procurement docs -- obtained by TMZ -- lodging alone for Trump and co. during the two-day summit -- which wrapped Thursday without a deal on nukes or sanctions -- ran Uncle Sam upwards of $632k between 3 hotels and miscellaneous costs.

The State Dept. footed the majority of that lodging bill, including a separate $157k for lodging at the Melia Hanoi Hotel -- where Kim Jong-un stayed and where the American press corp was staying as well ... before getting booted by Kim's camp.

According to reports, Kim became uneasy with the American press in such close proximity ... so they were ultimately moved to a new hotel.

But, wait ... there's more!!!

The conference rooms alone where Trump and Kim couldn't come to terms cost $316k, and things like lights, stereo systems, drapes and awnings ran about $100k all together. The Dept. of Defense dropped about $60k for leased internet lines.
