Royalty Brown Entrepreneur at 3 ... Launching Kids Clothing Line!!!

Published | Updated

Chris Brown's daughter, Royalty, isn't old enough to go to preschool, but she's more than ready to start a company.

Royalty, with an assist from mama Nia Guzman, is unveiling a unisex kids clothing line personalized by the kiddo herself. The collection features monster graphics, two-pieces and even cosmetics.

A clear case of "like-father-like-daughter" in the clothing dept. -- Chris also has his own line of duds -- Black Pyramid.

Royalty's goal is to push threads "for the fun and energetic kid with an outgoing personality." We're guessing her other goal is college tuition.

So ... what were you doing when you were 3?

Eli Roth Thanks for the Flack Over 'Death Wish' The Buzz is Awesome!!!

Published | Updated

Eli Roth is standing strong in the wake of criticism over his new movie, "Death Wish" ... in fact, he views the controversy as something of a blessing.

Eli was leaving M Cafe in Bev Hills Friday when our photog asked about the criticism -- that a rogue white man, played by Bruce Willis, seeks revenge for a brutal crime against his family and goes on a killing spree in Chicago.

Some of the critics say this is an Alt Right film in which a white guy takes to the streets and kills black people, although in the trailer not all of the revenge is targeted against blacks.

Eli says the criticism is BS and you need to see the full film to get context. He also says this is a classic issue of freedom of choice ... you don't have to see it.

By the way, Roth's a smart dude ... he knows the controversy sells tickets.

Robert Pattinson I Was Joking About Jerking Off a Dog

Published | Updated

Robert Pattinson now confesses he's no hero to PETA ... turns out he never had to put his foot down over an order to masturbate a dog.

The actor said on Jimmy Kimmel's show Thursday the director of his new movie, "Good Time," asked him to perform the act but he refused and the director relented and allowed Pattinson to perform the act on a prosthetic dog penis.

PETA was outraged, comparing the director's demand to child molestation and praised Pattinson as a hero.

Now Robert says the whole thing was meant to be a joke. The question ... since he's an actor did he try to make us believe him to score some attention for the flick?

Donnell Rawlings Wanted for Questioning After Allegedly Punching Dave Chappelle Fan

Published | Updated

Donnell Rawlings allegedly popped a dude in the face ... and now cops are on the case.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... 20-year-old Thurston Greer claims at 2:30 AM Friday Rawlings socked him in the noggin with a closed fist outside a NYC hotel, resulting in pain, swelling and scratches on his arms.

Greer tells us he ran into Dave Chappelle walking out of the hotel bathroom and asked for a pic ... but Dave declined. Greer claims he then went outside the hotel and began recording a Facebook Live video to tell friends what had just gone down. He says Donnell, Chappelle and a security guard walked out of the hotel, saw him and got angry, thinking he was persisting to get a photo.

Greer says he scuffled with Rawlings and security after they tried taking his phone, and that's when he got punched.

Chappelle's not listed in the police report, but cops want to talk to Donnell. Greer tells us he's already met with an attorney and is considering legal options.

A source connected to Donnell says Greer was extremely intrusive, trying to take pics of them while they were in the bathroom. The source says Donnell never punched the guy ... he took a swing, missed and fell to the ground. The source adds Greer was "aggressive" and determined to get photos to post on social media.

'NCIS' Star Zoe McLellan You're a 'Designated' Kidnapper ... Claims Ex-Hubby

Published | Updated

Zoe McLellan gave her ex-husband, J.P. Gillain, only 2 days' notice before she flew to Canada with their young son for a role alongside Kiefer Sutherland ... but she says she had no choice.

McLellan is embroiled in a custody war again with Gillain. They have joint custody of 4-year-old Sebastian. McLellan says she was recently offered a gig on "Designated Survivor" and had to be in Toronto STAT to film ... but wouldn't go without Seb.

In court docs, obtained by TMZ, McLellan says she's the primary parent, adding Gillain can't support the lifestyle she offers their son. That's why she claims he needs to be with mom while she films for a year ... but she says she'll help out with dad's travel costs so he can come visit.

For his part, Gillain says his ex-wife basically held a gun to his head, demanding he consent to the move and agree to work out a new custody deal. He also argues she can't uproot their kid just because she gets a new role, arguing Seb needs stability and continuity.

He's asking a judge to order the boy back immediately.

Snoop Dogg Jones Had D.C. Cryin' Like a Bitch Shouldn't Have Talked Sh*t!

Published | Updated

Snoop Dogg's calling out Daniel Cormier for "crying like a bitch" after getting KO'd by Jon Jones -- mocking the former champ and telling him he had it coming.

"You see what (Jon) did to D.C. -- he had him crying like a bitch," Snoop told TMZ Sports, before bustin' out an impression of Cormier on the mic.

Snoop says Cormier deserved the beatdown cause he was "talking all that sh*t" on Jones while he was suspended ... and it's bad form to kick a man when he's down.

Remember -- the UFC banned Jones after a hit-and-run incident in 2015 ... and again last year after a positive drug test.

This ain't the first time the rapper has come at D.C. for trash-talkin' his boy Bones ... who Snoop and his UFC broadcast partner, Urijah Faber, both wanna see fight Brock Lesnar next.

Snoop told us why he's picking Jones for that one too.

Martin Shkreli Convicted in Securities Fraud Case

Published | Updated

LEAVING COURT

Martin Shkreli-- dubbed the most hated CEO in America -- was convicted in his long-drawn out federal fraud case.

Shkreli was found guilty on 3 of 8 counts. He was charged with securities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud Friday. The charges stem from his time as head of the drug company Retrophin, as well as hedge funds he managed. The 34-year-old was found not guilty of 5 other counts, including wire fraud.

Shkreli was arrested in 2015 after being accused of losing millions of dollars of investors' funds, and then trying to pay them back with stock in a new drug startup.

His defense attorneys reportedly argued many of the investors cashed in big-time when the new drug company went public. One of his attorneys even told the jury that just 'cause he wasn't well-liked doesn't make him a "Ponzi guy."

Shkreli famously hiked up the price of the AIDS drug Daraprim by 5,000% in 2015 (which wasn't related to his case) ... causing the price of each pill to inflate to $750. That hasn't gone over well with people, and he's made A LOT of enemies since ... including Lil Wayne.

Shkreli faces up to 20 years in prison for the 3 convictions.
