Caitlyn Jenner Not Talking to Kim ... It's a 'Big Loss'

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian and Caitlyn Jenner are NOT on speaking terms, and Caitlyn says it's all because of her latest book.

Caitlyn told "Good Morning Britain" she hasn't spoken to Kim in 6 to 9 months. Ditto for her ex, Kris Jenner -- but Caitlyn said the "big loss" has been losing contact with one of her children.

She thanked Kim for being accepting when she first learned about Caitlyn's transition, but says since her book, "The Secrets of My Life" was released earlier this year ... there's been no communication between them.

It's no secret there's been tension, but it's interesting Caitlyn decided to call out Kim publicly.

Prince William & Kate Expecting Baby #3 ... Intense Morning Sickness

Published | Updated

Prince William did it again ... the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant with their third child, and she's really sick about it.

The royal family announced the pregnancy Monday morning, and it sounds like their hand was forced due to the fact Kate is suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. Yeah, we had to Google it too -- it's basically severe morning sickness, but it's bad enough that the Duchess had to cancel a public appearance Monday.

The palace says Kate went through the same when she was pregnant with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Sounds like she'll be fine, but she's getting treatment at Kensington Palace.

Ray J & Princess Love Crash Course in Babysitting ... With Cute 1-Year-Old

The full episode with Ray, Princess and lil' Stevie airs Monday night.

Whole Foods Sued: Your Chicken Clucked Up My Teeth

Published | Updated

Whole Foods says eat real food ... but one man's now ruffling feathers with a lawsuit, claiming the grocery store sold him chicken with rocks.

Dr. Albert Liu is suing Whole Foods, saying he ordered ready-to-eat Organic Naked Rotisserie Chicken in Vegas but it had 2 rocks inside the chicken's gizzard, or stomach.

In docs obtained by TMZ, Liu says he broke 2 teeth after biting into the rocks. Liu says he complained to Whole Foods and the manager apologized and told him to file a report. Liu says he did, and a different manager the next day said WF shouldn't have sold him the bird.

It's interesting ... it seems chickens do eat rocks, but they "chew" the food in their gizzard 'cause, ya know, they have no teeth.

We reached out to Whole Foods, so far no word back, but check this out. The law in most states says ... if a grocery store or restaurant sells food and something "indigenous" to the item causes injury, tough luck for the consumer. So, if you buy lobster and break your tooth on the shell, you're outta luck.

If you bite down on a foreign object -- say a nail in a steak -- then you have a case.

With the chicken, it turns out they actually eat rocks. So we're not saying Whole Foods will win, but they may have a good argument that rocks are indigenous.

Lil Wayne Hospitalized for Seizures ... Vegas Gig Canceled

Published | Updated

8:55 PM PT -- A rep for Wayne confirms he suffered multiple seizures and his Vegas show has been canceled. We're told he's currently resting.

Lil Wayne was hospitalized yet again this weekend for his ongoing bout with epilepsy and the seizures that come with it, TMZ has learned, and this time it might have torpedoed Sunday night's Vegas gig.

Multiple sources tell us Wayne was hospitalized Sunday in Chicago after he was found unconscious in his hotel room at the Westin on Michigan Avenue after suffering at least one seizure.

He was rushed to Northwestern Memorial, where we're told he suffered yet another seizure. Our sources say his team tried to have him discharged late Sunday afternoon so he could make it to his Vegas show.

However, doctors advised against the discharge, saying he should be grounded for a few days. Wayne has suffered seizures while flying before, and the doctors felt it was too risky. He very well may still be at the hospital.

Wayne is supposed to perform at Drais Beachclub in Vegas at midnight alongside Rae Sremmurd, although it's unclear if he's still planning to show as of this writing.

Seizures have plagued Wayne for years. Just last year he had to cancel an appearance in Vegas because of his epilepsy.

We've reached out to Wayne's camp on his condition ... so far, no word back.

Levi Miller 'Pan' Star Still Flying High $150K for 'A Wrinkle in Time'

Published | Updated

Levi Miller's star has been on the rise since he landed the lead role of Peter in "Pan" ... and so has the kid's bank account -- we just learned he's bankin' some serious cash for his new flick.

The 14-year-old actor scored at least $150,000 to play the role of Calvin in "A Wrinkle in Time" -- the Disney flick starring Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Mindy Kaling and Oprah due out in March.

Calvin's one of the main kid characters in the movie, and on top of the $150k ... Levi's got a shot to make $75k more in bonuses if "A Wrinkle in Time" does well. Based on the star power and the Disney name ... we'd say he's got a good chance.

And get this -- if the movie gets a sequel, Levi's salary will more than double ... and he'll cash in $700k if there's another sequel after that.

He's going to be able to buy a really awesome car when he can finally drive.

Khloe Terae Who Needs Floaties ... I've Got These!!

Published | Updated

Khloe Terae doesn't need a runway to flaunt her goods ... a stand up paddleboard will do just fine.

The Playboy and Maxim model hit Marina del Rey for a little paddleboarding. Actually ... it was more like she put on the hottest balancing act in a number of enticing ways. She stood, straddled, kneeled, laid and stretched on the paddleboard ... 'cause just standing upright is sooo boring.

If Khloe seems thirsty -- don't worry, she re-hydrated afterward while on a yacht ... topless.

You get the point. Less reading, more clicking.

Charlie Sheen Reunites with 'Major League' Cast At Real 'Field of Dreams'!

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen finally got what he wanted in a "Major League" reunion -- well, sorta -- but with a baseball movie curve ball.

Sheen got together Sunday -- seemingly for the first time in a long time -- with his fellow 'Major League' costars Corbin Bernsen and Tom Berenger for a little baseball softball action at the real-life "Field of Dreams" from the movie of the same name.

Sources close to the event tell TMZ Sports the 3 actors were participating in a celebrity softball game this weekend in Dubuque County, Iowa -- where the field was built -- put on by MAB Celebrity Services. Prince Marketing Group booked Sheen and co.

Some other MLB legends that were there included Red Sox third baseman Wade Boggs, Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson, Cardinals shortstop Ozzie Smith and White Sox first baseman Frank Thomas. U.S. soccer star Hope Solo was there too.

You'll recall ... Charlie told us earlier this year he was positive the 'Major League' cast would get together for a 3rd movie in the franchise. This ain't that just yet, but still ... a good start.

Looks like dreams really do come true, especially when it's your born day. Happy birthday, Charlie!

ADDRESSING THE MASSES

Joel Osteen was back to preaching the word of God Sunday after belatedly opening his megachurch to victims of Harvey flooding ... but not before clearing his name (again).

Joel's Sunday service at Lakewood Church -- the first since massive flooding in Houston and backlash he received for how he handled it -- was packed with thousands of worshipers, with the pastor taking a moment to re-explain the delay in opening his doors to evacuees.

As we reported ... Joel claims his megachurch was always open to the public, despite videos and eyewitnesses saying otherwise. He blamed internal flooding for the delay, and said a security company might've been responsible for turning people away.

After addressing the controversy, Osteen went on to say Harvey was part of a divine plan, with things like ... "God knew that Houston could handle the hurricane," and "Quit being upset by something you can handle," He added, "God is in control of the universe and what he has spoken over your life will come to pass."

We'll let Joel speak for himself here.

Taylor Swift outraged a gaggle of fans Saturday who waited to catch of glimpse of her after a Martha's Vineyard wedding.

TMZ got this video of Taylor's exit from the church ... where security went to great lengths to shield her from a bunch of kids and adults standing outside, hoping Tay Tay would grace them with her presence for just a moment.

Mitchell died after arriving to the burn center to which he was airlifted. His family was notified, and an investigation is ongoing into the circumstances of his death.

He was then transported to an on-site medical facility, and later airlifted to a burn treatment center ... according to the festival's organizers.

Photos of the incident were captured, and they're pretty graphic. You see what appears to be a long haired man running full force into the blaze ... and then tripping and falling with fire rescuers close behind.

Obama to Trump Tips on Being Prez ... Here's How to Keep America Great!

Published | Updated

Barack Obama had some written words of wisdom for President Trump on the day of his Inauguration ... mostly on how to keep the country running smoothly in his absence.

Obama's penned parting letter has just been revealed ... the one he wrote on his way out for the then-incoming President, which he left in the Resolute desk of the Oval Office for Trump to find later.

In the letter, Obama tells Trump to help people less fortunate than both of them, by doing "everything we can (to) build more ladders of success for every child and family that's willing to work hard." Yep, that's a typo on Barack's part. Still, it's a nice thought.

Obama also tells Trump to lead by example and action among the international community, and to respect the democratic institutions of the Office of President -- which, he reminds Trump, is only temporary.

And finally, Obama suggests making time for family to get Trump through the rough patches -- ending with an offer of help anytime Prez 45 might need it.

Classy.

Published | Updated

John says his production team was not involved in the posting by Casting Networks. He does acknowledge he's shooting a politically-themed music video though ... and, as you'd expect, took a jab at 45.

John Legend's searching for some folks who look like they love President Trump, and in his opinion ... that means they should be old and overweight.

According to a listing on Casting Networks in L.A., the musician's upcoming music video project needs several actors to play protesters on a set resembling a rally/counterprotest ... including 8 white men and women, 30-65 years old, "preferably out of shape" to play Trump supporters.

The casting call's also for 8 black men and women ages 18-35 to play Black Lives Matter protesters, and 10 young and blonde white males ages 18-35, presumably to play alt-right protesters ... with "very short hair or short on sides, long on top."

The listing for the Trump supporters is the only one that mentions a preferred body type and includes a photo for reference .... this one below.

Legend's also on the hunt for 2 females -- one white and one Hispanic -- to share a kiss in the video with the protest going on. The casting sheet says, "We want to show that there is no segregation in love. But just two human beings of any race or color."

The shoot's set for Friday.
