London's O2 arena has been transformed into a Prince museum with hundreds of his belongings on display, including some of his most iconic outfits.

Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, helped curate the My Name Is Prince exhibition. Most of the items were flown in from from Paisley Park, the Purple One's compound in Minnesota.

The exhibit is lined with everything from guitars, clothes and liner notes from several different times in Prince's life, including the "Purple Rain" era. The O2 is a special place for Prince -- he played a record-breaking 21 sold-out nights there in 2007.

Lisa Bloom -- who said she resigned from representing Harvey Weinstein after learning of his sexual misdeeds -- was deeply involved in investigating various female accusers to discredit them ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.

We've learned Bloom actively investigated Rose McGowan back in July ... months before she left the case. We're told she had combed through private investigator's reports and discussed the findings with Harvey Weinstein and others.

We also learned Bloom investigated compromising information to use against another alleged victim, Ambra Battilana Gutierrez, specifically documents from Italy. We're told the endgame here was to kill a story. Gutierrez was mentioned in The New Yorker article.

We're told Bloom was also involved in lobbying the New York Times and NBC to back off their stories on Weinstein.

Our sources say Bloom had been extremely active in honing in on the alleged victims as early as April ... pouring over non-disclosure agreements and reviewing investigative reports prepared on at least one rape accuser.

Our sources say Bloom was also involved in efforts to secretly record at least one sexual assault victim.

We're told Bloom's involvement in the Weinstein sexual assault/harassment matters go back as far as January 2017.

When Bloom left the case she told the LA Times, "I was never aware that there were allegations of sexual assault. Should I have? Yes."

Kim and Kanye were moody after her birthday dinner -- as in no mood to talk.

We got them leaving Carousel Restaurant Thursday night after a shindig that, from the look of videos Kim posted, seemed like a fun time.

Kim -- who celebrated her 37th birthday Saturday -- was surrounded by friends and family, including mama bear Kris Jenner and her man, Corey Gamble. Kourtney and Kendall were also there.

Check it out ... Kris was all smiles leaving the party and even answered our guy's question about Kanye's appearance on 'KUWTK' next season. Kim and Kanye ... not so much.

The mood was much different inside the joint, obviously.

Elon Musk geeked out to Johnny Cash ... and he never looked cooler.

The brains behind Tesla and SpaceX sang along to "Ring of Fire" ... while firing up some s'mores with one hand and holding a cup 'O whiskey with the other. Elon's happy enough with his performance he posted it on Instagram.

Gotta say ... pretty awesome to see a super techy have some old school fun around a bonfire. If killer robots ever become a thing ... they'll know to look for him -- at camp.

Selena Gomez was on the verge of death, and couldn't bring herself to ask a friend or relative to give up a kidney ... but that's when Francia Raisa stepped up and offered hers.

Selena told NBC's "Today" her kidneys "were just done." She sounds like she was ready to give up at that point because she was unwilling to ask someone to make the sacrifice.

Francia was with her during the interview, and Selena got emotional as she explained how her friend volunteered, and, literally, saved her life.

Tyrese Gibson was down in the dumps as he left Cedars-Sinai Thursday night, after checking himself in for chest pains and anxiety.

Tyrese says he's never been embroiled in a court case in his life, and Thursday's marathon hearing that pitted him against ex-wife Norma Gibson clearly took its toll.

Gibson is trying to get a permanent restraining order claiming Tyrese has used excessive force in disciplining their 10-year-old daughter, Shayla ... something Tyrese vehemently denies.

Tyrese smoked a stogie on a bench before his wife picked him up ... she's not into it.

Whatever it takes for a little relief.

Kylie Jenner just threw down millions for a very well-placed pile of dirt, and it's the first sign the mom-to-be could be looking to expand ... TMZ has learned.

Kylie scooped up the plot of land adjacent to her $12 million Hidden Hills home for a cool $5 million ... ALL CASH! The corner lot is about 1.5 acres, and we're told the plan is to turn it into a garden and possible barn with horses since there's a ton of horse trails nearby. Although nothing's set in stone yet ... the purchase gives KJ plenty of room -- 3 acres when combined with her current crib.

She could also build a badass playground for that baby she's got on the way.

As we told you, the Kardashians just signed a new $150 million TV deal -- and while the elder sisters are getting a bigger chunk of the deal, Kylie's obviously more than making due.

Kylie's go-to realtor, Tomer Fridman of Compass, helped her seal the deal.

The San Francisco 49ers are donating $500,000 to help improve police and community relations -- and one of the most influential police groups in L.A. says it's a great first step.

The L.A. Police Protective League -- which represents roughly 10,000 officers -- sent a letter to its members praising the 49ers for the donation, which will also be used to advocate for the ban of bump stocks, which turn semi-automatic weapons into fully automatic ones.

But the letter also acknowledged that there's been a real problem between cops and the NFL recently.

"We have all been angry, frustrated and disappointed with the NFL," the letter states ... "but there is a time for anger and a time for action."

However, the LAPPL says they want to work with the 49ers because of the personal commitment of team owner Jed York -- who has vowed to get "personally involved in improving the relationship between our officers, his team, and the overall public."

Andy Cohen's stoked about co-hosting CNN's New Year's Eve show with his pal, Anderson Cooper, this year, but has severe amnesia about the comedian who had the gig before him.

The 'Watch What Happens Live' host was at LAX when he told us he and Anderson are already prepping for their 4-hour spectacular. He got really quiet though when we asked if he'd talked to Kathy Griffin -- who CNN fired from the NYE show after the Trump beheading photo debacle.

Andy's response was hilarious -- unless you're Kathy. Remember, she called Anderson "spineless" when he publicly called her out over the Trump thing. It seems Andy's holding a grudge.

If you never saw that classic Mariah response to someone asking her about J Lo, just watch ... Andy does a dead-on impression.

The guy going down on Cardi B on her mixtape cover is pissed off because he claims he never posed for the photo, and never signed off on his image being used in such a sexual manner.

Cardi's "Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1" cover shows a shirtless guy, with very distinct back ink, performing oral sex on the rapper. Kevin Brophy says the image is 100% him, but he only found out about it when a friend said how crazy is it that you're "cunnilinging [sic] this rapper called Cardi B."

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the artwork made for a seriously awkward moment when Brophy's pre-K son asked what Daddy was doing in the picture, and who's that girl? Brophy says his son keeps bringing it up, too.

In the docs, Brophy says he's never met Cardi or spoken to her or her people -- but he knows that's his distinct back art of a tiger battling a snake ... which he's had for 10 years.

Tyrese checked himself into an L.A. hospital Thursday night after experiencing bad chest pains, shortly after an explosive day in court with his ex-wife ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Tyrese tell us he went back to his hotel after leaving the courthouse -- he's currently in a legal battle with his ex, Norma Gibson -- when he started having the pain. We're told he felt dehydrated as well, so he decided to go to the ER.

Our sources say the "Fast & Furious" actor is currently getting fluids for dehydration and is about to undergo some tests to find out why he's having chest pains.

Tyrese left court earlier Thursday in all-black, telling us today was a funeral for abuse allegations against him. As we reported ... Norma accused him of spying on her and claimed she was afraid of him at times.

The organization that oversees high school football in California tells TMZ Sports the Oakland high school that allowed Marshawn Lynch to participate in a full-contact practice violated state rules.

Lynch posted the video himself -- showing the 31-year-old NFL running back running over and being tackled by members of the OTHS football team during a Wednesday practice.

The problem ... the school isn't allowed to let grown men who aren't students hit (or get hit by) students.

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) official pointed us to this rule:

"Only 9th through 12th grade students may practice with or compete on a high school team."

The Oakland Unified School District issued a statement saying, "[Marshawn's] participation in the practice did not comply with Oakland Athletic League’s rules and regulations. Site administration did not receive prior notice that Lynch would be attending an after school practice."

"Once they found out, they and the League Commissioner promptly reminded all OUSD coaches of the bylaws and took appropriate measures."

Commissioner Alphonso Powell adds, "We take these rules very seriously as the safety and wellbeing of our student athletes is our foremost concern."

Obviously, playing with Marshawn must have been awesome (we're told the kids were stoked) but the issue for CIF ultimately comes down to safety.

One school official told us the school could be punished for the incident (possible suspensions, etc.) but so far, no discipline has been handed out.

Chester Bennington's father is in a tough spot -- he won't be able to attend the big Hollywood Bowl tribute to his son due to a severe, and horribly timed, illness.

Family sources tell us Lee Bennington came down with laryngitis earlier this week. We're told he was holding out hope for a speedy recovery, but he can't speak right now ... and doctors have ordered him to stay put at home in Arizona.

The memorial concert -- "Linkin Park & Friends Celebrate Life in Honor of Chester Bennington" -- goes down Friday night at the Bowl. We're told Lee is especially bummed about missing it because he used to tour with Chester, and knew his bandmates and crew well.

Tyrese believes there was a death in the courtroom Thursday ... and a figurative funeral was held for all the accusations about him being a bad dad.

We got Tyrese leaving the L.A. courthouse with his wife, Samantha Lee, and asked him about his all-black wardrobe -- a stark contrast from his all-white getup Tuesday -- and he waxed poetic ... saying it represents the "death of a dialogue" of abuse allegations that have followed him for years.

As we reported ... his ex-wife, Norma Gibson, took the stand Thursday to try to get a permanent restraining order against him for her and their daughter Shayla ... and claimed she's afraid of him at times.
