Mariah Carey I'm Making French's Hook 'Unforgettable'

Published | Updated

French Montana's hit, "Unforgettable," is about to be just that -- or even more so -- now that Mariah Carey is adding her vocals to a remix.

TMZ got this clip of the new version, which drops Thursday morning, and Mimi's taking over the hook. She drops the lines, "It's not good enough for me since I been with you. It's not gonna work for you. Nobody can equal me ... I know."

Almost like it was written for her in the first place ... right?

Swae Lee did it on the original, and he's still on it too ... just mixed with Mariah's smooth vocals.

Floyd's Dad to Bieber Just Cause You Changed Doesn't Mean Floyd Should!

Published | Updated
Floyd Mayweather Sr
THERE'S A CHANCE ...

Floyd Mayweather Sr. has his son's back in his beef with Justin Bieber -- saying the pop star unfairly kicked Floyd to the curb just because he found God.

As we previously reported, Floyd Jr. is furious with his former friend -- who's been distancing himself after some counseling from his church. Bieber even decided to unfollow Floyd on Instagram as part of a bigger plan to back away from people who don't share the same Christian values.

Enter Floyd Sr. ... who says he doesn't really know if the two will ever be able to bury the hatchet.

He also said Justin needs to be true to himself -- but just because he's a godly man now doesn't mean Floyd has to change.

The message is essentially ... Floyd's still the same guy who had your back in the past -- you shouldn't push him away now.

But will Bieber get an invite to the Mayweather vs. McGregor after-party?

"He might," Floyd says ... "It's a maybe."

Susan Sarandon Hits Kaepernick Rally 'I Stand With Colin'

Published | Updated

Hundreds of people rallied in support of Colin Kaepernick in NYC Wednesday -- including Susan Sarandon -- who said proudly, "I'm With Kaep."

The "United We Stand" rally went down in front of the NFL headquarters in New York -- stars like Kurtis Blow, ex-NFL player Willie Colon and rapper Mysonne were all there.

Sarandon tweeted about the rally -- saying, "Together we win. I stand with Colin."

Members of Kaepernick's college fraternity -- Kappa Alpha Psi (a historically black fraternity) -- were also marching for the QB.

Several people gave speeches applauding Kaep for taking a stand -- and imploring NFL owners to sign him.

Rihanna Snaps Up New Crib In Same Hood Kendall Left

Published | Updated

Kendall Jenner's WeHo hood is Rihanna's future hang ... 'cause she just closed on a mansion right near the house KJ fled.

Sources close to the deal tell TMZ ... Rihanna recently purchased the crib above the Sunset Strip for a cool $6.8 million. It's got 6 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms and just over 7,000 square feet of space. There's also a movie theater inside, a fully equipped gym, a fireplace, a billiard room and a guest house ... plus a pool and a huge yard.

It's also gated ... which could come in handy around those parts. As we reported, Kendall recently unloaded her WeHo home after about a year of grief -- which included a stalker encounter and a high dollar theft.

No sign of concern from Rihanna just yet, though. Just a moving truck.

Akon 'Blacks for Trump' Guy's a Sellout ... Just Like the GOP

Published | Updated

Akon thinks the guy holding the "Blacks for Trump" sign at his Phoenix rally has sold himself -- and the black community -- out for a quick buck ... not unlike the rest of the GOP.

We got the singer at LAX, and he gave us his 2 cents on Maurice Symonette ... the lone black dude behind Trump on Tuesday ... and he thinks it's a case of sell-your-soul ... a game he also believes is being played by other Republicans to protect Trump.

It doesn't sound like Akon knows about Symonette's past -- or his current political philosophies -- and it's interesting that he tries painting him as someone who only supports Trump for an alleged payoff.

Still, he makes a good point about what the country is looking like these days -- a state of affairs he usually sees outside our borders.

THE FINAL PRESSER

Even when Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather were trying to keep things business-like days before the fight, there were still insults flying at their final news conference.

Conor dropped the B word -- again -- vowing to "f**k this boy up" come Saturday night. He said it way more calmly this time around, but still didn't back off using the racially charged term.

For his part, Floyd complimented Conor -- calling him a tremendous fighter -- but reminded him of the the long list of boxing greats he'd defeated on the path to 49-0. As Floyd put it ... Pacquiao, Canelo and Mosley all had "had bombs" too.

During the pose off ... Floyd got a face full of Conor's breath. Hope his breath was, at least, minty fresh.

Bruce Springsteen Born to Tan ... On Geffen's Super-Yacht

Published | Updated

Bruce Springsteen is The Boss wherever he goes ... and that especially applies when he's soaking up some sun aboard the most popular yacht in celebdom.

Bruce was seen lounging Wednesday on David Geffen's yacht off the coast of Ibiza -- with his wife, Patti Scialfa, hanging out nearby in a robe. Calvin Klein was also there with his model bf, Kevin Baker.

Bruce started out in white swim trunks, but then swapped 'em for a darker pair ... which he eventually yanked up to catch some rays on his thighs.

Whoah ohhh ... he's on fire.

'Blacks for Trump' Guy Ex-Cult Member ... Once Charged for Conspiring in Murders

Published | Updated

The guy with the "Blacks for Trump 2020" sign at the President's Phoenix rally is an ex-cult member ... who was once charged with conspiring in 2 murders.

Maurice Symonette was once a member of the Yahweh ben Yahweh cult, led by preacher, Hulon Mitchell Jr. -- who was federally charged in 1990 with conspiracy in multiple killings, one of which included a beheading in the Everglades.

Symonette himself -- as well as at least 10 other cult members -- was charged in the '90s for allegedly conspiring to commit 2 murders ... this after his brother told jurors Michael helped beat one man and jammed a stick into another guy's eye.

He was later found not guilty.

As we told you ... Symonette runs a website that's pretty out there -- accusing "ISIS & HILLARY RACE WAR PLOT TO KILL ALL BLACK & WHITE WOMEN OF AMERICA" ... among other racially charged allegations.

Apparently, Blacksfortrump2020.com was just the tip of the iceberg for this dude. Good placement, team Trump.

Gavin Rossdale Cops Crash House Party ... at 10 PM!!!

Published | Updated

Gavin Rossdale needs to find new neighbors or a new place to party because the ones he has now aren't cool with his rock 'n' roll-ISH lifestyle.

Gavin pulled the plug on his house party in the San Fernando Valley after LAPD showed up for a noise complaint. Mind you, this was no 2 AM rager -- instead, we're told the call to cops came in around 10:15 PM.

When cops showed up, we're told they spoke to Gavin, and he was totally cooperative -- dropping the typical busted teenager line ... I was just breaking it up, anyway.

Gavin, who's dating model and actress Sophia Thomalla these days, has been hard at work in the studio lately, so maybe he was just feeling a groove.

Taylor Swift Staking 'Reputation' On New Album

Published | Updated

Taylor Swift's taking the bad rap she's been getting, and pouring it into her "Reputation" ... the title of her new album.

Taylor just announced she's dropping her sixth album on November 10. She's been largely MIA for the past year since her fling with Tom Hiddleston went south, and her feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

The "Reputation" cover art is riddled with Taylor's name in print headlines -- a strong hint she's gonna address all the drama in her songs. She's been posting videos of a slithering snake all week ... leading people to think it has something to do with her first single, which drops Thursday.

If you recall, after Kim called Taylor out on her Kanye lie several people flooded Taylor's social media with snake emoji comments.

Based on the album cover ... looks like Taylor's doing what she does best -- making lemonade outta lemons. Even though that's Bey's thing now.

Judge to DMX I'll Let You Off House Arrest If You Get Into a Drug Program

Published | Updated

DMX is off house arrest with one big catch -- he's gotta check into a treatment program to get clean ... TMZ has learned.

A judge signed off this week on X entering an inpatient treatment program for substance abuse -- and as part of the deal, he'll be able to leave his house without wearing an ankle monitor.

According to the court docs, obtained by TMZ, all other bail conditions are in place for X while he's out on bond for his federal tax evasion case. He'll still have to get permission to travel out of New York state, but can travel to the facility without issue. It's unclear where the treatment program is located.

X's attorney, Murray Richman, tells us X entered rehab because his drug usage had become impossible to manage.

As we first reported ... he's already requested approval to travel for some shows, but we don't know if his treatment will affect those concert dates.

Dallas McCarver 911 'There's Something In His Throat'

Published | Updated

TMZ Sports has obtained the Dallas McCarver 911 call -- made by a friend who found the 26-year-old bodybuilder passed out in his apartment ... after apparently choking on food.

The friend tried like hell to help McCarver -- performing CPR and other lifesaving maneuvers -- but he wasn't able to bring him back.

The friend says McCarver had been taking Insulin -- and suggested he may have collapsed because of a medical condition related to the medicine, which usually treats diabetes.

McCarver had collapsed onstage at a bodybuilding event back in March. It seems the friend believes McCarver may have experienced a similar situation while eating, which led to the fatal choking episode.

McCarver was transported to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead early Tuesday morning.

Anti-Trump Protester Awww Nuts!!! Shot with Rubber Bullet

Published | Updated

Protesting Donald Trump comes at a price sometimes ... just ask the guy whose family jewels got blasted during a clash with Phoenix cops.

First off, we should say it was reportedly a rubber bullet that smashed the guy square in his crotch -- but hey, that's still a bullet. The guy was part of a group protesting outside the President's Tuesday night rally, and while he was armed with a mask to ward off tear gas ... he clearly forgot a cup.

Thomas Jefferson said a little rebellion now and then is a good thing. Of course, he never took a shot to the nuts. Far as we know.

Usain & D-Wade GO FULL DMX ... In Greek Nightclub

Published | Updated

They stopped. They dropped. They shut 'em down AND opened up shop.

Usain Bolt and Dwyane Wade went all the way back to '98 at a nightclub in Greece Tuesday night -- grabbing the mic and busting out DMX's legendary "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" ... and it was AWESOME!

D-Wade's in Mykonos for an anniversary trip -- no word on why Bolt's there -- but they met up behind the DJ booth in a Mykonos nightclub and partied like they were old friends.

We're sure DMX woulda loved to have been there too ... if he wasn't on house arrest.

President Trump Rally 'Blacks for Trump 2020' Sign Holder Claims Hillary, ISIS Out to Kill Black and White Women

Published | Updated

It was an absolutely bizarre scene ... the guy Donald Trump's people strategically placed behind the President at Tuesday's Arizona rally with a sign that read "Blacks for Trump 2020" is the president of the group, and he believes "ISIS & HILLARY RACE WAR PLOT TO KILL ALL BLACK & WHITE WOMEN OF AMERICA."

The guy's name is Maurice Symonette and he was having a good 'ol time Tuesday night at the rally. His website is one gigantic rant, with such statements as, "Make Cherokees & the Indians Pay Taxes."

The guy is on a mission against the Cherokees ... "The real KKK slave masters revealed ... they are Cherokee Indians."

The website is wacko ... Blacksfortrump2020.com ... read at your own peril.
