HAPPY DAYS

Jamie Foxx knows silence is golden when it comes to talking about Katie Holmes ... but he still wants everyone to know they're all good as a couple.

Jamie was in Malibu Wednesday morning when a photog asked him all about Katie and their very first PDA on the beach. TMZ posted the first pics ... showing them strolling on Monday -- and, as we reported ... the relationship has been the worst-kept secret for years.

So, why go public now and what does her ex and his pal, Tom Cruise, think?

Jamie kept his response brief ... and mostly nonverbal.

J.J. Watt's Brother 'I'm Extremely Proud of Him' ... We're Not Done Yet!

Published | Updated

J.J. Watt's younger bro, Derek Watt, isn't just praising his brother for raising $27 MILLION for Hurricane Harvey victims ... he's getting involved, too!

Usher Accuser Lied About Sex Tape

Published | Updated

Usher's most public accuser, Quantasia Sharpton, is facing huge credibility problems ... this after lying during an interview that her alleged sexual encounter with Usher was captured on video.

Sharpton did an interview with Miss Jacob Tuesday and claimed straight-up ... she made a sex tape with Usher and he was down with it.

Sharpton's attorney, Lisa Bloom, tells us her client's statement is really just a "misunderstanding" ... Bloom says there is no sex tape. We're guessing Bloom had no idea Sharpton did the interview.

While the sex tape might be kaput ... Bloom says they still believe the two may have been caught on the hotel's surveillance system.

Obviously, this pokes a gigantic hole in Sharpton's credibility moving forward in the case.

Aaron Carter Cops Rush to House Three Times in 24 Hours

Published | Updated

Aaron Carter's trying to buy a gun and has threatened to harm family members ... at least according to anonymous callers who got cops to visit Aaron's house 3 times in a 24-hour span.

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... someone called St. Petersburg PD in Florida at 11:47 AM Tuesday saying Aaron has been trying to buy a gun in the last couple weeks. Cops went to his house, but no one answered the door.

They returned at 2:12 PM after another caller said Aaron needed psychiatric evaluation because he refused medical attention after a car accident. Police discovered Aaron had indeed totaled his BMW, and broke his nose, but was otherwise fine.

The third incident came at 4:18 AM Wednesday, when the caller said Aaron was threatening to harm family and others. Cops showed up, knocked on the door but someone shut off a light and closed the blinds.

We've reached out to Aaron's camp, so far no word back.

THE DRAMATIC FOOTAGE

12:30 PM PT -- Sources connected to the investigation tell TMZ Sports ... when cops responded to the club for a possible shooting, they ordered everyone to get down and not move so they could properly search and investigate.

We're told Bennett did not stay put -- instead, he ran -- and a cop outside the club stopped him and ordered him down to the ground at gunpoint.

Our sources say Bennett was detained until cops could determine he was not involved in any possible criminal activity ... and he was released.

TMZ Sports has obtained video of NFL superstar Michael Bennett being handcuffed by police while lying face down on the concrete in Las Vegas ... and you can hear him screaming that he's innocent.

The video was shot outside Drai's Nightclub on August 26 -- you can see one officer take position on a balcony while another cop handcuffs Bennett on the street level.

During the incident Bennett screams out, "I wasn't doing nothing man! I was here with my friends! They told us to get out, everybody ran!"

Bennett claims the officer had pulled a gun on him and threatened to "blow my f*cking head off" -- but you don't see that in our footage. At the time the video begins, Bennett is already being cuffed.

Jesse Williams Shares Joint Custody With Estranged Wife

Published | Updated

Jesse Williams and estranged wife Aryn Drake-Lee have reached an agreement in their divorce ... at least temporarily on the subject of custody of their 2 children ... and there's an indirect connection to Minka Kelly.

The warring couple will share joint legal custody ... which means all decisions made regarding the health, welfare and upbringing will be made between the 2 of them.

The agreement, obtained by TMZ, provides neither parent can make derogatory remarks about the other in front of the children. They also can't use the children as messengers.

And, the agreement provides that neither Jesse nor Aryn "shall introduce a person with whom he or she has a romantic relationship to the children until the relationship has endured at least 6 months."

The agreement does not break down the physical custody arrangement.

TMZ broke the story ... Jesse has been linked to Minka Kelly.

Gucci Mane Mirror, Mirror On the $1,000 Invite

Published | Updated

Gucci Mane's wedding invite glistens like one of his old grills, and it also put a $50,000 dent in his wedding budget!

Guwop opted for his real name, Radric Davis, on the super fancy invitation he and Keyshia Ka’oir sent out for their million dollar wedding this fall. It's being filmed for BET, and will clearly be an over-the-top event.

Each invite is a mirror-inspired booklet adorned with Swarovski crystals inside ... each for a mere $1k.

We're told 100 people are on the guest list with plus-ones, but only half got the fancy document. Most of them were Gucci's celeb pals and collabs like Drake, Rihanna, The Weeknd, Selena Gomez, Pharrell, Diddy, Rick Ross, Monica, Trina, Migos and Solange.

If you're wondering ... it's their international guests who aren't getting the invitation, due to shipping costs. Of course, seems late for cutting corners -- the wedding's going down at the Miami Four Seasons, after all.

Jamie Foxx & Katie Holmes We're Not Hiding Anymore

Published | Updated

Until now, seeing Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes out together as a couple was as common as a Bigfoot sighting or riding a unicorn ... but not anymore!!!

It took 4 years, but Hollywood's most top secret couple finally packed on the PDA Monday in Malibu ... hand in hand in the sand. Though they've allegedly been together since 2013 -- about a year after her split from Tom Cruise -- this is the first time they've been seen doing what lovebirds do.

As we reported ... Katie was seen with a ring on her finger in March 2016, but Foxx's rep said it wasn't from him. A year before that, Jamie denied they were even a thing. Still, the relationship was no secret to most in Hollywood -- JamKat just never let on in public.

JamKat? Can we slap a â„¢ on that ... just in case?

Jason Whitlock Kaepernick Impersonator Is Kid ... from Kid 'n Play

Published | Updated

The man dressed up like Colin Kaepernick during a segment with FS1 star Jason Whitlock is not white ... despite what the Internet thinks.

He's actually Kid from Kid 'n Play -- aka Christopher Reid, star of 'House Party' 1, 2 and 3 (remember, he was replaced by Immature in 'House Party 4').

Whitlock has been receiving all sorts of hate online from people who think he dressed up a white dude to mock the NFL QB. That's simply not the case.

Others -- including ESPN's Josina Anderson -- are pissed at Whitlock for "mocking a movement." Don Cheadle gave his stamp of approval to her criticism.

The actual segment involving Kid (as Kaep) has not aired (at the time this post was written) -- but Whitlock has hinted there's more to the story.

"I remember the good-old days when people sought real information before feigning outrage in a publication or publicly."

Stay tuned ...

Michael Bennett: Cop Threatened to 'Blow My F**king Head Off'

Published | Updated

Seattle Seahawks superstar Michael Bennett says a police officer threatened to "blow my f*cking head off" during a heated incident in Vegas on the weekend of the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight.

Bennett says he was heading back to his hotel room after the fight when he heard gunshots ring out.

"Like many people in the area, I ran away from the sound, looking for safety," Bennett says in a statement.

Bennett says Las Vegas police "singled me out and pointed their guns at me for doing nothing more than simply being a black man in the wrong place at the wrong time."

One of the cops, Bennett claims, "ordered me to get on the ground" and told him that if he moved he would "blow my f*cking head off."

Bennett says another officer put his knee in his back, making it hard for him to breathe. He was then cuffed so tightly that his fingers went numb.

The 31-year-old says he thought he was going to die and his life flashed before his eyes.

Bennett says cops eventually realized he was not involved in the shooting and let him go -- but the NFL star says he's furious about the situation and has lawyered up to explore his legal options.

We've reached out to the Las Vegas Metro PD for comment -- so far, no word back.

FYI, Bennett has sat for the national anthem during Seahawks pre-season games -- and he says this incident has only strengthened his resolve.

Tiger Shot By Cops In ATL After Attacking Dog Near Fast Food Joint

Published | Updated

An actual tiger got loose on the streets of Atlanta early Wednesday morning -- but was shot and killed by cops after it jumped into the backyard of a home and attacked a small dog.

No word on where the tiger came from -- but it was spotted prowling around the I-75 interstate and got way too close to a Hardee's fast food restaurant. Employees at the restaurant were ordered to stay indoors as the animal walked by.

Cops were called to the scene with the intention of subduing the animal without killing it -- but when it jumped into a backyard and attacked a family pet named Journey, cops fired their weapons.

Witnesses told FOX5 in ATL they heard around 12 shots.

Captain Smith told reporters, "Due to the occupants of the home, officers made the decision to shoot the tiger."

The tiger was killed in the shooting. The pet dog is okay.

Cops are investigating ... trying to find out who owned the tiger and how the hell it got loose.

Looks like Brooklyn's on track to be a true New Yorker though, at least when it comes to hailing cabs.

We got the comedian Tuesday at LAX, where he dished on why DACA recipients are so important to our country -- and his reasoning comes down to dollars and cents, straight-up.
