Prince Harry & Meghan Toodles, We're Outta Here!!! Final Royal Event with William & Kate

Published | Updated
UPDATE

8:56 AM PT -- Harry and Meghan shared what looked like an awkward and restrained greeting with Prince William and Kate as they took their seats at the service. Meghan gave Kate a little hello and a wave, and William gave his brother the ol' head nod ... Harry smiled and said hi back.

UPDATE
UPDATE

It's the first time all 4 royals have been so close publicly since the announcement of "Megxit" ... and it seems like they'll be in no rush to get back together again soon.

UPDATE

8:16 AM PT -- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey on Monday, so they're officially donezo with their senior royal responsibilities. Cheerio, folks ... on to Canada!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are wrapping up their senior royal duties before Megxit becomes official, but not before a reunion with Queen Elizabeth ... before God.

QE2, her grandson and his wife all attended Sunday service at the Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor Great Park.

Now, it wasn't as warm and fuzzy as you might have hoped -- Harry and Megs drove in separately from the Queen -- but it was the first time all 3 appeared at the same public event since the couple bolted for Canada.

Meghan and Harry are in the middle of a farewell tour of sorts -- they've been in the UK since last week attending several events ... their last engagements as senior royals.

On Monday they're scheduled to perform their final duty at a Westminster Abbey service for Commonwealth Day.

They've been greeted with cheers at most of their stops around the country -- and even when Meghan went solo for an event on Friday, she was embraced.

They always love ya when you're walking out the door.

Brad Pitt 'Mystery Woman' is Alia Shawkat ... Catch Concert Together

Published | Updated

ENJOYIN' THE VIBES
UPDATE

11:13 AM PT -- We've learned the woman is "Arrested Development" actress Alia Shawkat. The two have been spotted together a lot recently.

Brad Pitt looked comfy over the weekend next to a mystery woman at a concert -- and while it's unclear if this is romantic, what is clear is Brad's not scared of getting out there.

BP was spotted Saturday night at The Wiltern in L.A., where musician Thundercat was performing. Eyewitnesses tell us he arrived with the woman, whom he sat next to pretty much through the whole show. It's hard to see her face, but you get a decent side profile.

At one point, she takes off her beanie, revealing really short hair -- almost like a buzz cut. There's no clear signs of PDA, but they're clearly watching the show together ... which becomes even more evident when Beck comes over to chat them both up.

BTW, he wasn't the only other celeb there ... we're told Ariana Grande, Ty Dolla $ign and Anderson .Paak were among the stars in the VIP area. Brad and his lady friend, included, obviously.

Now, again, we don't know if this get-together was romantic or friendly -- but fact is ... Brad out with anyone is always worth a convo. He's joked anyone he stands next to is immediately pegged as a new flame -- so we should give him the benefit of the doubt.

That said, it's also pretty apparent Brad is somewhat conscious and careful about who he steps out with in public -- which was evident at the Oscars last month. He showed up with his manger as his date but the media went nuts trying to figure out who exactly she was.

The potentially bad news this could pose for Brennifer shippers ... Brad's recent encounters with Jen Aniston might've been much ado about nothing after all. In any case, we've reached out to Brad's camp for clarification on this outing ... so far, no word back.

Tom Brady I'm Going Hollywood!!! ... Launching Production Co. With 'Avengers' Directors

Published | Updated

Tom Brady is officially moving!!!

... Into Hollywood, 'cause the future Hall of Famer just announced he's launching a new production company with the guys who directed "Avengers: Endgame."

Brady says the co. -- which will reportedly be producing documentaries, films and TV shows -- is called "199 Productions," an obvious nod to the spot where the Patriots picked him in the 2000 NFL Draft.

And, Tom says its first project, "Unseen Football," will be a collab effort with Marvel directors Joe and Anthony Russo as well as noted filmmaker Gotham Chopra.

"When I was the 199th draft pick in 2000, I knew I needed to work hard every day to prove myself," Brady said Monday. "Launching a production company is no different."

TB12 added, "I believe in the essence of teamwork, and I have no doubt, our 199 Productions team and partners will create inspiring content to share with the world."

Of course, this doesn't tell us anything about the quarterback's future ON the field ... he's still set to be a free agent later this month.

The Patriots are reportedly still trying to work out a way to keep him ... but could this new project sway him to be closer to Los Angeles???

The Chargers and Raiders certainly hope so!!

The whole situation reminds us of LeBron James ... who signed a big overall deal with Warner Bros. before joining the Lakers.

City Girls JT Released From Federal Custody ... So Long, Halfway House!!!

Published | Updated

City Girls member JT is tasting freedom ... because we've learned the rapper is outta federal custody after spending the last part of her sentence in a halfway house.

JT was officially released Friday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons tells TMZ. Remember, she'd been in custody since June 2018 after turning herself in on identity theft charges.

As you can imagine, JT's grateful to be home ... posting a ton of selfies Saturday and saying it's the first time she's woken up in her own bed in 2 years!

JT's not completely outta the woods, because legal docs show she's on probation for a year.

According to the terms of her supervised release, JT has to take a drug test within the first 15 days, and she can't have controlled substances or a firearm ... aaand she has to perform 200 hours of community service.

JT went to prison just as the City Girls were getting super famous ... and her counterpart Yung Miami hooked her up with some custom bling as a welcome home gift.

Liam Hemsworth The Water's Great Down Under ... Not to Mention My New GF

Published | Updated

Liam Hemsworth's post-Miley Cyrus life is going swimmingly -- and by that, we mean he and his new girlfriend are making a casual dip in the ocean look smoking hot.

The Aussie actor was splashing around with model Gabriella Brooks this weekend in Byron Bay -- the coastal town where he and bro, Chris Hemsworth, both live. It looks like they went out pretty deep at first, and then started a leisurely swim back toward the shore.

Check out the walk-up back onto the beach ... looks like they're making their bid for a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover. And yes, GB shows off all her best sides here -- Liam too for that matter. These 2 might be couple goals, fitness goals and life goals all-in-one.

The couple was first linked back in December, but it wasn't until January that a bunch of PDA pics surfaced that it was confirmed they were dating. No better way to ring in the new year -- and a finalized divorce with Miley -- than flaunting your new boo.

Of course, Miley's moved on as well. The kids are alright.

UFC's Brian Ortega Crazy Slap Aftermath Video 'I Told You I'd Slap You Like a Bitch'

Published | Updated

TMZ Sports has obtained video moments after UFC star Brian Ortega allegedly slapped a Korean man at UFC 248 ... and you can hear Ortega say, "I told you I'd slap you like a bitch."

It all went down in the stands at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas on Saturday -- when 29-year-old Ortega approached Jay Park, a Korean musician who recently served as a translator for Korean UFC fighter Jung Chan Sung (known as "Korean Zombie").

Ortega was reportedly upset with Park over comments he made while translating for Korean Zombie during a recent appearance on "Ariel Helwani's MMA Show." Park had claimed Ortega "ducked" a fight with Zombie, which Ortega has adamantly denied.

Things came to a head on Saturday. At 4 seconds into our video, you can hear a slap sound -- followed by commotion and Brian bragging that he slapped Park.

Ortega was escorted out of the arena. Security checked in with Park, who appears to be okay.

After the incident, Park told media he filed a police report with local officials. Unclear if Ortega will be charged with a crime.

We've reached out to Ortega's camp for comment. So far, no word back.

Pete Buttigieg I'm Ready for R&R ... And to Guest Host for Kimmel!!!

Published

Pete Buttigieg still has big plans for his political future, but for now, he's down to chill out and catch up on sleep ... until he tries his hand as a late-night TV talk show host.

The ex-presidential candidate says his campaign was just the beginning for him, and even though he dropped out of the race he's still hoping to make himself useful down the line ... which we already know means backing Joe Biden to take on Donald Trump.

For now, though, Pete says he's enjoying the slower pace of life off the campaign trail and will be doing some R, R & R ... resting, recuperating and reflecting.

Buttigieg obviously can't relax for too long -- he's set to guest host Thursday on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and says he'd also love to pop in on "Saturday Night Live."

If he does, he can check out Elizabeth Warren's surprise appearance for some pointers.

The Bounce-Back Stripper Sucks & Swallows Chicken Wings!!! New Style Post-Jaw Wiring

Published | Updated

Genea Sky, the exotic dancer who crashed down off a 15-foot stripper pole, is at a juicy new stage of her recovery -- she's eating wings again!!! But, the game's changed a bit for her.

You'll recall Genea was forced to have her jaw wired shut after that super-scary plunge at a Texas strip club. She tells us the wires were just removed from her jaw last week -- but she's nowhere near having full function of her mouth yet.

Genea says she can eat solid food, but she is NOT allowed to chew for at least another 4 weeks. That's quite the conundrum because she's been jonesin' for chicken wings.

Watch the video, though ... she's figured out a system to break down her favorite appetizer. It's a slow, but pretty hot process to observe -- from a foodie perspective, of course.

As we reported ... Genea -- who quit stripping after the incident -- suffered a fractured jaw, cracked some of her teeth and sprained her ankle. She'll visit the dentist next week to see what other work she might need.

For now, at least the wires are off, and she's a few bites closer to being a food critic.

Chris Childs There Was No Beef W/ Kobe After Fight ...We Were Cool!!!

Published | Updated

Ex-Knicks player Chris Childs says ever since Kobe Bryant's death, fans have been bringing up their fight from back in the day ... but those fans need to chill --- 'cause Chris says he and Kobe were cool!!!

"Nah, it was never a beef," Childs says, "It was just something that happened. We let bygones be bygones."

If you don't remember this epic fight ... back in April 2000, Childs and Bryant threw hands during a Knicks vs. Lakers game --- and Childs got the best of Kobe with a 2-piece to the grill.

Since Bryant's death on Jan 26, Childs tells us Mamba fans have been going at him on social media about the fight ...  but he just tries to stay calm and hit 'em back with some positive vibes!

"I just told them let's just pray for the family. Let's not get into the that part of the basketball side. Let that rest right now."

"Let's not be ignorant and continue to talk about something that at that moment, doesn't matter."

In fact, Childs says he and Bryant were fine after that fight -- they would run into each other at UCLA during workouts and there's was NEVER any smoke.

"We always gave each other the head nod, ya know, acknowledging the other person."

That said, Childs tells us there IS beef with another NBA star -- Tim Hardaway -- and ya gotta hear what Chris has to say about that!

Tee Grizzley Beef With Eminem and Royce ... Big Misunderstanding!!!

Published | Updated

Tee Grizzley says he no longer has beef with Eminem and Royce da 5'9" ... and he's chalking it all up to a classic case of a misunderstanding.

Here's the deal ... Tee Grizzley blasted Royce after he revealed he'd advised Eminem to hold off on collaborating with the up-and-coming Detroit rapper until TG had another hit to his name.

Now, Tee Grizzley says he talked to Royce and smoothed things over ... and he wants to do the same with Em.

As you know ... Royce said he convinced Eminem to not work with Tee Grizzley just yet, so Em wouldn't get credit for helping TG blow up. Royce and Em were gonna sit back and wait, and then Tee Grizzley took a shot at Eminem.

The diss -- "I run Detroit, n****s talkin' 'bout Eminem. Talking that s**t, I kill you, him, and him."

Royce says Em was pissed Grizzley burned a bridge he didn't know he had ... but Tee tells us, it's all a big misunderstanding and he's got nothing but love for Eminem and hopes they eventually collab.
