The terrorist who mowed down a group of people in New York City Tuesday was so strident about what he had done, he told law enforcement he wanted to fly the ISIS flag in his hospital room.

According to the criminal complaint, obtained by TMZ, Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov told FBI agents he "felt good about what he had done."

His cellphone was an electronic ISIS training manual which included, among other things, a video of ISIS fighters shooting prisoners in the face and a video of a beheading. The complaint says the videos, 90 in all, inspired Saipov to carry out the attack.

Saipov was shot by a cop after the attack and was taken to Bellevue Hospital.

Eight people died as a result of the attack.

Lil Wayne grabbed a mic in Houston, while Travis Scott grabbed major air as both rappers celebrated their pal Jas Prince's birthday in Houston.

The turn up went down Tuesday night at Warehouse Live ... where the hip-hop mogul threw a huge party for his 30th. Of course, Jas discovered Drake, and hooked him up with Weezy's label, Young Money.

Wayne paid back his "little bro" by jumping on stage for the event. Meanwhile, Jas' fellow H-Town native Travis was doing some serious stage dives. Jas got into it too ... on a smaller scale.

It's interesting, Jas is still in a legal war with Birdman to get royalties on Drake's hits.

Nancy Pelosi has a few choice words for President Trump after he blamed Chuck Schumer and the Dems for the recent terrorist attack in NYC ... and he's not going to like them.

We got the House Minority Leader on Capitol Hill Wednesday ... she calls Trump's political blame-game actions the day after a tragedy inappropriate. She also claims Trump's got his facts wrong about the program he says let a terrorist into our country.

A 36-foot-tall effigy of Harvey Weinstein will go up in smoke, flames ... and then down in ashes as part of a British tradition.

The Edenbridge Bonfire Society unveiled the giant figure Wednesday in preparation for Saturday's annual Bonfire Night celebration in London. It's an yearly tradition for Brits in memory of Guy Fawkes' 1605 failed plot to blow up the Parliament.

So, why fry Harvey? The simple answer is the Society always chooses a well-known figure in pop culture who they believe deserves a good torching. Weinstein's facing a mountain of sexual assault allegations in Britain alone, sooo ...

T-Pain wants to know if Lil Wayne "Got Money" for him ... as in the more than $500,000 he says the rapper owes him for services rendered on "Tha Carter III" album.

T-Pain's company, Nappy Boy Productions, is suing Young Money ... saying he produced Wayne's track, "Got Money," which also featured T-Pain. Further, TP says one of his artists, Young Fyre, produced "How to Hate" on "Tha Carter IV."

The deal, according to docs, was that Young Money would pay T-Pain some royalties. According to the docs, there should be a bundle ... because 2008's "Tha Carter III" sold more than 3.2 million copies ... and that's in the U.S. alone.

T-Pain believes he and Young Fyre are owed more than $500k.

Getting to trick or treat in the Kardashian's hood is kinda like getting into the hottest club in L.A. ... you're gonna need to be on a list or know someone on the inside.

Thousand flock to their exclusive gated The Oaks community where Kris, Kourtney, Khloe, Katie Holmes and Tamar Braxton have homes, and once you see the video Kardashian pal Larsa Pippen shared from the inside, it's not hard to see why.

Residents go all out converting their garages and front yards into haunted mansions and spare no expense. This year someone even had a mock Ghostbusters car parked out front.

Oaks residents can invite any outsiders as long as they put their name on a list with security. We're told an extra 20 or so security guards and off-duty cops are hired to deal with the extra crowds and sometimes the line to get through the gates alone can take up to 2 hours for guests.

Halloween might be over, but there's still 364 days to make friends in The Oaks before next year.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have put the dating rumors to bed ... because they're clearly dating!

The Biebs and Selena hung out AGAIN on Wednesday morning in L.A. Sure looks like Selena has all the feels.

They also went on a bike ride and looked super cozy.

The exes reconnected over the last few weeks and have spent lots of time together ... grabbing grub, praying in church and then there are those late-night visits.

The deck is clear for Selena ... she and The Weeknd broke up several weeks ago, and it looks like Justin didn't waste any time swooping in.

Kanye West's feature on CyHi the Prynce's is not Yeezy's return to music, even though lots of people think it is.

The song "Dat Side" dropped Tuesday, and it sure looked like Kanye's reentry. But sources tell TMZ ... he recorded the song in September 2016 -- 2 months before he abruptly canceled his Saint Pablo Tour and ended up hospitalized for a mental breakdown.

On the surface the verse seems to be a clap back at Jay-Z's track on "4:44" where Jay skewers Kanye. Yeezy's lyrics do sound like a good retort -- "People claim they praying for you, really they be preying on you" -- but it's simply not the case.

The CyHi collab is still fire and there may be more where that came from. TMZ broke the story ... Kanye went on several Wyoming retreats in the spring to work on a new album and plans to go back on tour as soon as early 2018.

Dustin Hoffman is apologizing for allegedly sexually harassing a 17-year-old intern back in 1985, but he's not confessing to any wrongdoing.

The 80-year-old actor addressed the claims of Anna Graham Hunter -- the woman who claims Hoffman grabbed her butt and made multiple vulgar comments while she was working on the set of "Death of a Salesman."

Hoffman said, "I have the utmost respect for women and feel terrible that anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation."

He added in his statement to the AP, "I am sorry. It is not reflective of who I am.”

Bobby Slayton has cut a deal with the caretakers he believes are responsible for his wife's death ... according to new legal docs.

We broke the story ... "The Pitbull of Comedy" and his daughter, Natasha, sued a doctor and a nursing facility for negligence while treating his wife, Teddie Lee Tillett, who died in March 2016.

According to the docs, the sides have reached a settlement -- the Slaytons get $150,000 and in exchange, he'll release the healthcare workers from future claims. A judge still needs to sign off on it ... but both sides have agreed.

Natasha is a member of the girl group G.R.L.

Rick Fox has played in multiple Game 7 situations -- and never lost -- and he's got some serious advice for the Dodgers ... DON'T CRAP YOUR PANTS!!!

The ex-Lakers champ -- who has won 3 rings -- says he's seen what pre-Game 7 jitters can do to a player ... and it ain't pretty.

"I've seen guys throw up in their mouth. Sh*t their pants. It happens, man. It's stressful."

The big question -- WHO CRAPPED THEIR PANTS?

Here's a list of some of the Lakers who were on Game 7 teams with Fox:

Shaq, Kobe, Derek Fisher, Tyronn Lue, Glen Rice, Robert Horry, A.C. Green, Devean George, Mark Madsen, Brian Shaw, Samaki Walker.

Tyrese is coming apart at the seams over his legal battle to see his daughter, and he recorded an emotional breakdown hours before heading to court.

Tyrese posted this video where he just loses it, saying he's been away from 10-year-old Shayla for too long -- 2 months -- and begging his ex-wife, Norma Gibson, to drop her fight for a restraining order against him.

He also said he has millionaire and billionaire friends who just aren't showing up to help him in his time of need. Tyrese references the fact that much of the court proceedings have been sealed from the public. He says no one is hearing his pleas to see his daughter because they're not in court.

Shayla's nanny is expected to wrap up testifying Wednesday afternoon when the restraining order hearing resumes.

Snoop Dogg first took a fake gun to a caricature of Donald Trump's head and now the rapper's come for the body ... as in body bag.

Snoop posted this photo on Instagram Tuesday in what appears to be the cover to his next album, "Make America Crip Again." It's a spitting image to Ice Cube's 1991 cover for "Death Certificate."

Snoop's hatred for the Prez is no secret ... and the rapper didn't give a damn about catching heat back in March for his mock presidential assassination in "Lavender." At the time ... Snoop said he did so because "nobody's dealing with the real issue with this f****** clown as a president."

O.J. Simpson. Scariest. Halloween. Costume. Ever.

Yes, O.J. actually greeted trick-or-treaters at the Las Vegas home where he's been living since getting out of prison -- and he even dressed up for the occasion. Sorta. Simpson grabbed one of his old Buffalo Bills jerseys -- maybe one he's planning to hawk online.

He did cut through more NFL defenses than Freddy Krueger in that #32.

Doesn't look like O.J. handed out candy, but he did take selfies and sign autographs. More evidence of what we reported ... neighbors are welcoming him with open arms, and apparently their kids are too.

The Weeknd is the one who ended his relationship with Selena Gomez -- not vice versa -- and it had nothing to do with Justin Bieber ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources connected to The Weeknd and Selena tell us, their relationship had been fizzling out since Summer. They had rarely seen each other because of his touring schedule and her shooting schedule. They started talking less frequently on the phone.

We're told Abel enjoyed being single before he met Selena and felt unfairly tied down in a relationship that had lost its passion. Our sources say several weeks ago Abel called Selena, explained how the relationship was no longer working for him and then ended it.

Our sources say the 2 remain friendly and have even talked several times since the breakup.

As for Justin Bieber ... we're told he was not a factor in the breakup. Justin's apparent reignited relationship with Selena didn't start until after she and The Weeknd went their separate ways.

As for Abel ... he's not sulking. Check out our video shot Monday night. He's a quick rebounder.

Rob Gronkowski tried spitting bars (again) -- this time in rap battle form -- and got absolutely WRECKED by "Jane the Virgin" star Gina Rodriguez.

On "Drop the Mic" ... Gronk took the stage in a tank n' chain, bragged about his Super Bowl rings and dropped some cringy sex jokes on Gina.

"You're a Virgin, I'm not -- I score all the time."

Gina responded with a series of shots at Gronk's intelligence ... leaving the Patriots superstar looking legitimately hurt.

"I spit fire -- you look like the caveman that discovered it."

"Gronk's his nickname and we know what that means -- it's the only sound he made until he was 16."

And the KO blow -- "This is not a revelation, I'm sure you've heard it all. But check your manhood, 'cause I just deflated your balls."

Update: Gronk's ego has officially been placed on the IR.
