Omarosa ain't worried about an attempt to lock her out of President Trump's inner circle, 'cause she has the one thing 45 values more than anything.

We got the ex-"Apprentice" star and current Trump adviser at Reagan International in D.C. and asked straight up -- is it true Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly, wants her out?

Omaraosa laughed it off, saying the reports sound awfully similar to stuff she heard when Reince Priebus was running the show.

The wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin deserved to get eviscerated for bragging about her fabulous lifestyle ... according to her.

You'll recall Louise Linton last month posted this photo on Instagram and littered it with hashtags of a bunch of high-end merch -- "#rolandmouret pants #tomford sunnies #hermesscarf #valentinorockstudheels #valentino" ... essentially telling people who don't dress like her are pathetic losers.

Louise's now taking it all back -- from the initial post to how she handled the backlash from furious taxpayers. She told Washington Life, "I want to say I concede completely to the comments of my critics. My post itself and the following response were indefensible. Period. I don't have any excuses, nor do I feel any self-pity for the backlash I experienced."

Cuba Gooding Jr. can crash a party as easily as he can fire one up, and he did both in the grotto of an NYC spa crawling with hot chicks.

Cuba was hangin' alone in the coed section of the Great Jones Spa Wednesday where a bunch of gals happened to be celebrating a birthday. He was partially disguised in goggles and a towel on his head, but that didn't stop the ladies from chatting him up.

Ty Dolla $ign's got some advice for Lil Wayne ... whether he takes it is another story.

Ty was leaving TAO Monday night when we asked him about the codeine cough syrup concoction Weezy can't seem to get enough of. TMZ broke the story ... Wayne suffered multiple seizures this weekend and was hospitalized in Chicago, which forced the cancellation of a Vegas gig.

Dolla's crystal clear on how he feels about lean ... but it's apparent he subscribes to the "do you boo boo, do you" theory.

There's more to that Jay Cutler butt pic than meets the (brown) eye ... so says Kristin Cavallari!

Turns out, the famous Jay Butt-ler pic was taken during an outing to a nude beach during a romantic trip to Mexico back in March.

Cavallari told the story to our friends at TooFab ... saying they got caught up in the moment and figured, "When in Rome ..."

KC says she still can't believe the Miami Dolphins QB let her post the photo on social media!

TooFab also asked how the family felt about Jay's new 1-year contract with the Fins and if he plans on playing next year!

Maria Menounos is looking like a million bucks just a few months after brain surgery ... and she thanks her fiance and Sylvester Stallone for making it happen.

We got Maria out in NYC with her boo, Keven Undergaro, and she tells us she's happy, healthy and cancer-free ... enjoying living in the moment. Our guy asked her what's helped her recovery process and, along with her man ... she gives major props to another inspiring dude -- Rocky Balboa.

As we reported ... the E! News anchor left her gig after discovering she had a brain tumor and had surgery to remove it. Maria tells us her mom -- who's battling brain cancer herself -- is also doing well ... which is awesome.

Keep moving forward, ladies!!!

Toni Basil's hit music video for "Mickey" got jacked by JibJab so they could use it to cash in on their musical e-cards ... according to a new lawsuit filed by the singer.

According to the docs ... JibJab never checked to see who owned the music when it unveiled a "Mickey" promo vid in February 2017 that used Toni's voice, image and likeness.

She also claims JibJab used the "Mickey" e-card as a promo ad to get customers to subscribe to its other products and services. Translation -- it was a moneymaker.

Basil says she's become "despondent and physically ill" over this, and now suffers from sleep deprivation, nightmares and anxiety.

She's suing for damages and lost profits, and wants extra for her emotional distress.

JibJab claims it did obtain a license for the video, but honored her request to take it down once it learned she was in a separate dispute over the rights ... and will address her allegations in court if needed.

3:06 PM PT -- Lil Wayne's daughter Reginae Carter gave an update on Twitter, saying Weezy's "doing fine" and thanking fans for their concern. She did not say if he's been released from the hospital.

Lil Wayne was a ball of energy, jumping around onstage at two back-to-back concerts before his hospitalization Sunday due to seizures.

Weezy had a show Friday night in St. Petersburg, Florida and another one Saturday just outside Chicago in Hammond, Indiana. We spoke with people who were backstage at each show, and they all said the same thing ... Weezy seemed healthy and arrived on time for both gigs.

He even performed an extra 10-minutes at the St. Petersburg show.

What's also interesting is our sources say they didn't see Weezy with a double cup at either performance.

As we showed you ... he's been seen sipping lean at several events all year. The codeine cough syrup can trigger seizers, but Wayne maintains his are purely due to epilepsy.

We broke the story Lil Wayne was hospitalized Sunday after suffering several multiple epileptic seizures. Doctors put him on bed rest, and recommended he avoid flying ... which led to him canceling his show at Drai's in Las Vegas.

Conor McGregor looks every bit like a guy who has 100 million reasons to smile and laugh -- even with a big ole shiner -- and did just that for a friend's wedding in Ibiza.

The UFC champ looked like the life of the party during the Sunday wedding and reception. Conor and his gf, Dee Devlin, jetted over to the event ... one week removed from his awesomely entertaining fight with Floyd Mayweather.

As we showed you ... Conor's been partying as if HE'd won the fight, and he kept that going with his pals. Yeah, he's still sporting a black eye, but he's clearly not the least bit down about it.

$100 million does a lot for your mood.

Lil Wayne continues playing with fire by downing sizzurp, and there's plenty of visual evidence he's been doing it regularly for months leading up to his latest seizure.

TMZ broke the story ... Wayne was hospitalized Sunday night in Chicago after suffering multiple epileptic seizures. He's always insisted the attacks are purely due to his epilepsy -- but it's known that large amounts of sizzurp, or lean, can trigger seizures.

You'll recall, Weezy was hitting the stuff hard in June 2016, when he suffered another round of seizures. We wondered if he'd eased off since then, but these photos -- from February through August of this year -- show him consistently rocking the double cup ... commonly used for the codeine cough syrup concoction.

As we told you, Wayne canceled a Sunday night Vegas gig due to hospitalization. As for his condition now -- we've reached out to his camp, but no word back.

The "old" Taylor Swift may be dead, but the new one still wants to make a buck off her ... TMZ has learned.

T-Swift has filed to trademark a bunch of titles and catchphrases from her new album, "Reputation" -- for instance, the line, "The old Taylor can't come to the phone right now" from her single "Look What You Made Me Do" ... as well as the song title itself.

According to the docs, she wants to use the lyrics on a ton of merchandise ... like t-shirts, notebooks, guitar picks, jewelry, bags, and pretty much any other accessory a Swiftie could want.

We know Tay Tay's touring soon -- and now you have a better idea of what will be on her overpriced concert merch list.

Instead of heading outta town for Labor Day weekend ... Orlando Bloom, Kourtney Kardashian, Robin Thicke and Katie Holmes grabbed their mini-mes and soaked up a Malibu tradition.

They were all spotted at Malibu Kiwanis Chili Cook-Off -- which has been a thing for 36 years now. Orlando rode the giant swinging chairs Sunday with his adorable 6-year-old son, Flynn -- and Kourtney also did some carnival rides with her kids.

Scott Disick was there too, but with a new chick. Also taking in the fun ... Kendall Jenner and apparent new bf Blake Griffin, Anthony Kiedis and even Tom Hanks.

Common is taking the news out of North Korea very seriously, and knows exactly where he's heading if things really do go nuclear.

The singer was at LAX Sunday when he reacted to reports N. Korea had successfully mounted a hydrogen bomb on an ICBM. At first he joked about prepping for the worst -- stocking up on bottled water, and needing a "super rich" friend to come through with one very important item.

Kendall Jenner and Blake Griffin are playing it cool in the midst of an L.A. heatwave ... and also with what sure as hell looks like their new relationship.

For the third time in a week, Kendall and the hoops superstar hung out together -- this time they were beating the heat on the beach in Malibu. She was laughing and looked smitten, but still no PDA ... on camera, anyway.

Just like their other dates ... Blake and Kendall were with a group of friends. Neither's confirming they're a couple, but the "just hanging with our pals" cover only works for so long.

Something's cooking ... besides Blake's balls. Jeans on the beach in 90 degree temps, playa??!!

Jay-Z let his fans do the heavy lifting for Beyonce's birthday -- getting the crowd at his Made in America festival to to serenade her.

Bey was in the audience Sunday night in Philly when Jay-Z led everyone into "Happy Birthday" in honor of his wife's 36th ... which is actually on Monday.

As often happens ... fans sounded torn on which version of the song to sing -- traditional or Stevie Wonder. Beyonce smiled through it all with her Destiny's Child mate, Michelle Williams by her side.

Happy Beyday!
