Karrueche Tran I Get Chris' Eyes ... Just Look How Thick Rihanna Is!!

Published | Updated

Karrueche Tran isn't hating on ex Chris Brown for sending googly eyes to his other ex, Rihanna ... she actually says she can't blame him 'cause she'd do the same thing.

We got Karrueche leaving Catch in WeHo -- perhaps a little drunk -- and asked what she made of Rihanna's sexy Crop Over outfit and Chris' comment that got fans all riled up.

She's joyfully honest -- telling us she'd love to learn RiRi's secret to getting that type of a bod ... but then admitting it probably ain't gonna happen for her.

Never say never, though, KT ... Kim K's only a couple inches taller and the reigning queen of thick.

As for Chris' googly eyed comment for Rihanna, Karrueche sees the rationale ... even if he probably ain't the best one to express it.

Plies Cops Plea in DUI 'Home Alone' Case

Published | Updated

Plies won't have a DUI on his record -- the charge was reduced to reckless driving after he copped a plea.

The rapper was pulled over in January after Tampa cops caught him driving the wrong way down a one-way street. He refused to take a breath, urine or blood test, so his driver's license gets automatically yanked for a full year.

Under the plea deal, he'll also pay a $500 fine. No penalty though for wearing the "Home Alone" shirt during his arrest.

Tiger Woods To Enter DUI Diversion Program ... Official Says

Published | Updated

Tiger Woods has struck a deal in his DUI case -- and has agreed to enter a DUI diversion program for 1st time offenders as a result of his May 29 arrest, officials say.

The golfer's DUI case was scheduled to go before a judge in Palm Beach County early Wednesday morning where his lawyer was expected to enter a not guilty plea.

Woods did not personally appear in court -- however, his attorney met with prosecutors and worked out a deal to enter the county's first time DUI offender diversion program, State Attorney's Office rep Mike Edmonson tells TMZ Sports.

According to prosecutors, the program requires offenders to plead guilty to reckless driving -- and in exchange they get 12 months probation and are required to complete DUI education classes.

The offenders are also prohibited from drinking alcohol or taking drugs during the probation period.

This all stems from a May 29 incident -- when cops found Woods passed out behind the wheel of his banged up Mercedes-Benz around 2 AM.

Woods was completely out of it -- but insisted he wasn't drunk, it was an unexpected reaction to mixed prescription medication.

Tiger was charged with 3 misdemeanor counts -- DUI, reckless driving and improper stopping. If he completes the DUI diversion program, the reckless driving conviction will be wiped from his record.

Amber Rose Lawyering Up for Restraining Order Against Wiz Khalifa's Mom

Published | Updated

Amber Rose wants Wiz Khalifa's mom to back the hell off ... so she's lawyering up to get a restraining order against her ex-mother-in-law.

Sources close to Amber tell TMZ ... Amber's furious that Katie Wimbush-Polk's hatred for her has spilled into the courtroom. Katie has sued Amber for defamation, claiming Amber's allegation Katie's an unfit grandmother is a big fat lie.

We're told Amber believes it's just a revenge lawsuit because Katie can't let go of the fact Amber left her son 3 years ago, and Katie has tried to make Amber's life a living hell ever since the split.

Katie's also taken shots at Amber on social media, ripping her to shreds every chance she gets ... like in 2015 when Katie jumped into the Kardashian-Amber beef and defended the Klan.

Amber wants a restraining order to keep her and Wiz's 4-year-old son, Sebastian, far away from Katie ... fearing that exposing Sebastian to Katie's hatred for Amber will hurt the kid.

We've reached out to Katie, so far no word back.

Justin Theroux Sued Neighbor Claps Back He's Loud, Rude and a Bad Dog Owner

Published | Updated

Justin Theroux's war with his NYC neighbor is actually pretty one-sided -- Justin does all the damage and the downstairs neighbor's left to deal with it ... according to new legal docs filed by the guy.

Norman Resnicow responded to Theroux's recent harassment lawsuit against him, claiming he and his wife have been terrorized by the actor's rude behavior at their Greenwich Village co-op for years ... including endless barking from his rescue dogs left isolated for long periods, dropping heavy weights on the floor at 3 AM and angry outbursts.

Despite all this, according to the docs, Resnicow has actually had Theroux's back in the past -- including when he was the co-op president -- and the 2 have a history of "friendly relations and cooperation." That's why he calls Justin's allegations against him ... "as fictional as the television series in which he recently starred."

For example, Norman claims Jennifer Aniston's hubby asked him to help quietly kick Justin's ex-gf out of his apartment.

Resnicow says he's been nothing but helpful to Justin, yet J.T. won't return the favor by soundproofing his unit, and that's why Resnicow has pitched a fit from time to time.

We reached out to Justin, so far no word back.

Blac Chyna Blows Her Top Over Noisy Roofer

Published | Updated

Blac Chyna had the cops called on her after Rob's baby mama went ham over a roofer.

It happened Tuesday morning at Chyna's L.A. home. She pitched a fit when a guy next door started pitching a roof at 9 AM. We're told Chyna confronted the homeowner, saying it was too damn early to start construction. She said the noise woke up little Dream, and that pissed her off.

The neighbor claims Chyna went so ballistic she got scared and called the cops.

We're told cops showed up and gave Chyna a free lesson about the law. In L.A., construction can fire up at 7 AM, so the roofer was well within his rights.

Chyna calmed down, and cops beat it.

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

Jerry Jones tells TMZ Sports he does not believe Ezekiel Elliott will miss a single game for an alleged domestic violence investigation.

The Dallas Cowboys owner was leaving Gucci in Bev Hills (got money, spend it right?) when our guy hit him up with a bunch of Cowboys questions.

But the only question Jones felt compelled to answer was about his star running back.

Of course, the NFL launched an investigation into Elliott after a woman who claimed to be dating Zeke told police he roughed her up on several occasions in July 2016. Zeke denied any wrongdoing.

The NFL is expected to announce the findings of it's investigation soon -- Jones is clearly convinced he'll be off the hook.

Usher I Didn't Sleep with That Chick She's Not My Type

Published | Updated

Usher in no way, shape or form had sex with the woman who came forward and claimed he exposed her to the herpes virus, because he's just not into her type ... so he's telling his close circle.

Quantasia Sharpton claims Usher picked her out of the audience at a concert, got her number, and went over to her hotel room where they had sex. She claims he didn't tell her he allegedly had genital herpes.

Our sources say Usher told them he may have pulled her up onstage ... he doesn't remember, but he absolutely didn't hook up with her.

As for why he may have picked Sharpton out of the crowd and brought her onstage, the sources say Usher "looks to bring a diverse group of people up onstage, not just supermodels."

One source says he believes it's "an esteem booster" to choose various people Usher sees in the audience and single them out.

Usher's headache began last month when a different woman filed a $10 million lawsuit against him, claiming that he gave her herpes during unprotected sex.

DON'T STOP BELIEVING IN US

Journey fans can relax, keyboardist Jonathan Cain insists the band isn't calling it quits over their White House visit without founding member Neal Schon -- although Neal doesn't seem nearly as sure.

We got Cain and his wife, Paula, at LAX Tuesday and asked about Neal going off on Twitter about the visit. Everyone attended but drummer Steve Smith and Neal, who thinks the band shouldn't be exploited by anyone especially for politics or religion.

Cain, whose wife is a televangelist with strong ties to President Trump, says he hasn't talked to Neal since the rant, and the guitarist is still steaming almost a week later. He has made it clear the tension isn't about Trump, but certainly made it seem like it's about Jonathan mixing his wife's agenda with the band's.

So, fresh off their Hall of Fame induction ... is Journey rock solid?

Depends on who you choose to keep believin'.

'Bachelorette' Rachel Lindsay Take a Pic of Me & My Fiance, Bryan ... It'll Make Us Last Longer!

Published | Updated

Rachel Lindsay must know it's just a matter of time before the world loses interest in her season of "The Bachelorette" ... so she's milking the spotlight.

Rachel and her new fiance, Bryan Abasolo, were swarmed by paps Tuesday as they arrived at the BUILD studio in NYC ... and they took their sweet time to suck face for the cameras.

In her defense, Rachel's season finale was Monday night -- so it makes sense she'd be making the rounds, posing at all the stops along the way.

Still, this display of affection is a bit too on the nose for us not to cringe. Congrats, though ... here's hoping they're couple #6 to actually tie the knot for 'Bachelor' Nation.

Quantasia Sharpton 'I Need Money' Post Not Tied to Usher ... Says Lisa Bloom

Published | Updated

Quantasia Sharpton declaring "I need money" has nothing to do with her lawsuit against Usher -- she's just struggling financially like millions of Americans ... according to her lawyer.

Celebrity attorney Lisa Bloom tells TMZ her client has been raked over the coals since her Monday morning news conference. In particular, Bloom defended Quantasia's social media post saying she's hard up for cash ... which came one week prior to the suit.

Bloom says it's unfair to connect the two things -- "It's not a crime to be poor in America. It's not a crime to be honest about the fact you need money. Most people need money." She points out Quantasia didn't put a dollar amount on the lawsuit, and only wants what a jury deems fair.

In addition, Bloom says Quantasia's been repeatedly fat shamed online since the news conference.

As for the tweet about her last hours as "a regular girl" -- just before going public -- Bloom says it's only natural her client was nervous, but still ... she's been "so brave to step forward."

David Hasselhoff 'Knight Rider' Comeback in Works Thanks to 'Guardians' Gig

Published | Updated

'Guardians of the Galaxy' is so powerful it might bring "Knight Rider" back to TV ... according to Kitt's partner, David Hasselhoff.

The Hoff tells TMZ ... his 'GOTG2' cameo only happened because director James Gunn was a huge fan of his '80s crime fighting show with the talking car. It's also how David ended up starring in a new discotastic music video with the other 'Guardians' stars.

Now David and James are working on a "Knight Rider" reboot ... with some changes, of course, to bring it up to date. There was already a remake in 2008, but Hoff told us why this one will be different.

And enjoy the music vid ... solid gold, man!

Phil Spector Can You Hair Me Now?? New Bald Mug Shot

Published | Updated

Music legend Phil Spector hasn't moved much during his 8 years in prison for 2nd degree murder -- his hairline, on the other hand, has gotten the hell outta Dodge.

Prison officials in Stockton, CA just released a new mug shot of 76-year-old Spector, and his once glorious and massive head of hair is completely gone. Not only is he bald, but the man responsible for rock music's famous "Wall of Sound" is now wearing double hearing aids.

Spector -- who produced hits for The Beatles, Diana Ross, Tina Turner and many more -- was convicted in 2003 for the murder of Lana Clarkson in his mansion. He's serving 19 years to life, and will be eligible for parole when he's 88 years old.

Let it be. Bald.

Ex-'Dance Moms' Star Countersues Music Producer Used Me It's Abby Lee's Fault!

Published | Updated

Ex-"Dance Moms" star Mackenzie Ziegler is firing back at a music producer who sued her, saying the guy's a fraud who never paid her for her tunes ... and she's laying the blame on Abby Lee Miller.

Mackenzie and her mom, Melissa Gisoni, countersued Kismet Music and its head honcho, Andrew Logan, after Kismet sued the 13-year-old a couple months ago. Kismet claimed she allegedly broke her contract by working with another producer.

In new docs, obtained by TMZ, Mackenzie's attorneys say the only reason she signed with Kismet was 'cause Abby told her it was a bonafide hit maker. The docs also claim the now-jailed Abby strong-armed Ziegler and her fam into it.

Abby is not a defendant in Mackenzie's suit.

As for Kismet saying she owes them dough ... Maddie Ziegler's little sis calls BS on all fronts. She claims Kismet and Logan have none of the accolades Abby hyped, and claims they've grossly underpaid her for the music she's already recorded.

Mackenzie wants the rest of the money she says she's owed ... and her Kismet contract axed.
