Antonio Banderas is long gone from his guitar case-carrying, gun-slinging days but he's still a badass ... painter.

Antonio is here wearing a toupée as he portrays Pablo Picasso for the second season of "Genius" on National Geographic. It's pretty damn spot on ... right?

Antonio's in Sitges, Catalonia -- south of Barcelona -- shooting the series. Talk about commitment to the role ... Antonio also shaved his head for the role. He's known for nailing the appearance. Remember when he played Saddam Hussein?!

Jeremy Meeks has a hot button ... anyone asking about his estranged wife's miscarriage -- beware of the stare.

We got the "hot felon" leaving Catch with his GF, heiress Chloe Green, where our photog asked about his ex, Melissa Meeks, saying she suffered a miscarriage soon after hearing about him getting with Chloe. Check out his reaction.

He also grouses, albeit inaudibly, over reports he's raking in $1 mil/month.

It's interesting ... he clearly wanted to be shot by paparazzi -- it's what happens at Catch.

Chris Brown's painting skills can claim high-society status, thanks to his collaboration with a famed artist that pays homage to Andy Warhol.

Chris and renowned photographer Karen Bystedt teamed up to turn her iconic shot of Warhol into what's been dubbed the "Triple Andy Discount." The piece features Bystedt's photo plus the 2 painted by CB to create a collage of young, adult and middle-aged Warhol.

Chris, who goes by Konfuzed in the art world, previously worked with Karen on some of his monster art pieces. She's now hawking their Warhol, created in November 2015, on eBay ... with the starting bid at $500k.

FOX has just signed another judge in what could be the breakout music competition show next year -- 'The Four.'

TMZ broke the story, the program -- with an emphasis on hip-hop artists -- showcases 4 awesome contestants who have to maintain their seats as challengers come in and try and knock them off.

There are 4 judges -- a business mogul with music ties, a music producer, a record exec and a big-time performer, who will pick a winner and then team up to launch that person's career.

We've learned Diddy is the mogul and DJ Khaled is the producer. The third judge has just been offered a spot -- Charlie Walk -- a music industry exec who has worked with The Weeknd, Ariana Grande and Hailee Steinfeld ... just to name a few.

As for the performer, we're told the list has narrowed to 3 women -- Fergie, Meghan Trainor and Bebe Rexha.

The show will air in January. It's a spin-off on an Israeli pilot. Check it out.

Chuck Schumer just took a jab at President Trump and the entire country of China ... but gave a fast food chain a ringing endorsement.

We got the New York Senator at Capitol Hill Wednesday and asked about China's Twitter ban ... he says the policy's a good thing -- at least while the Prez is there. As for China as a whole ... Schumer's clearly not a fan.

The joke's on Chuck, though ... because Trump's still tweeting away, reportedly with the help of special equipment that lets him bypass the country's Internet firewall.

Right around the time we talked to Schumer, Trump posted a reminder of last year's election victory.

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood kicked off the 51st Annual CMA Awards with a heartfelt message to all the victims of recent tragedies in the U.S. ... and a song poking fun at President Trump's Twitter habit.

After sarcastically mentioning to the audience they were directed to steer clear of political commentary ... Paisley and Underwood fired off some play-it-safe jokes about Anthony Scaramucci, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

But right as Carrie seemed to be moving into the first award of the night ... Brad rocked a "Before He Cheats" spoof that took a few jabs at the Prez. Remember covfefe? They sure do.

Before the parody tune, Paisley and Underwood dedicated the night's ceremony to victims of the mass shootings in Vegas and Texas, attacks in Charlottesville and NYC, and all the recent natural disasters.

4:55 PM PT -- Herjavec's lawyer, Lee Hutton, tells TMZ, "The allegations are false and with the sole intent for monetary gain. My client has had enough and will not tolerate extortion."

The ex-girlfriend of "Shark Tank" star Robert Herjavec has fired back at him with her own lawsuit, claiming he repeatedly raped and sodomized her.

Danielle Vasinova filed suit hours after Herjavec filed a lawsuit against her, claiming she tried extorting him for $20 million by making false claims in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

In her lawsuit, she says Herjavec took her to a secret, underground sex club in L.A. in 2015 and told her to watch him as he engaged in sexual conduct with other women. She claims he then demanded she participate, and when she refused he became angry and overpowered her, pinned her to a table, violently disrobed her, forcefully grabbed her face and jaw to hold her down and engaged in "injurious sexual intercourse and sodomy."

She claims there were other instances of sexual assault. Vasinova says in February 2015, Herjavec shoved her inside from a balcony, threw her down violently across a table and raped her.

And she says, the next morning, in a fit of aggression, he grabbed her by the throat, prevented her from breathing freely and engaged in sexual intercourse.

She claims when they got together he had promised to marry her and take care of her financial needs and pressured her into putting her career on hold.

Vasinova is suing for sexual battery, domestic violence, and infliction of emotional distress.

Terry Crews walked out of LAPD's Hollywood Division with resolve to go after a powerful Hollywood agent for sexual assault.

Crews told our photog he plans to file a civil lawsuit as well as pursue criminal charges.

Sources tell TMZ the person Crews named on the police report is Adam Venit, who heads up the motion picture group at William Morris Endeavor. Venit has been placed on leave while WME investigates.

Crews says the agent groped him last year at a Hollywood function. There are reports Venit was "wedgie-ing" people at the party as a prank.

Portia de Rossi claims Steven Seagal put her on the casting couch in his office during an audition -- and she's also blasting her then-agent for a callous and nonchalant reaction.

Portia says the incident happened during her final audition for a part in one of Seagal's movies -- she does not say which one. She alleges the action star told her "how important it was to have chemistry off-screen as he sat me down and unzipped his leather pants."

She says the next bombshell came when she ran out of the office and called her agent. According to Portia's tweet, her female agent only said, "Well, I didn't know if he was your type."

That makes it seem like whenever this happened, it was before 2005 ... when Portia came out. It also hints at premeditation if, in fact, her agent was aware Seagal intended to make the vulgar move.

We've reached out to Seagal's reps.

There are two ways to read this quick video response from Michael B. Jordan that TMZ Sports shot outside Craig's in L.A. when we asked him about rumors UFC's Sage Northcutt is up for the role of Ivan Drago's son in "Creed 2."

"I don't even know who that is," Michael said.

Maybe he doesn't. Sage isn't a household name (yet). Maybe MBJ was just trying to drive his ridiculously nice car into the L.A. night, probably to visit some beautiful actress and eat fresh grapes.

Or maybe he knows exactly who Sage is and that he's up for the role -- and played the age-old "I don't who that is" game because he wants to give no props to the man whose fictional dad killed his fictional dad.

Maybe MBJ wants the revenge America deserves on Drago's unholy spawn so badly that he can't even begin to come to terms with the all-encompassing rage he feels when the name "Drago" is uttered.

It's probably the first one, honestly, but dear God we wish it was the second.

To hell with you, Drago. #RIPApolloCreed.

Terry Crews just walked into an LAPD station and filed a report alleging sexual assault ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Crews went to cops nearly a month after posting on Twitter that a high-level Hollywood executive "came over 2 me and groped my privates" at a Hollywood function.

Crews came forward with the allegations following mounting accusations against former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Because the alleged incident, involving a still-unnamed suspect, occurred last year and within the statute of limitations in Cali, it's possible Crews coming forward could trigger a criminal investigation.

We spoke to Terry's wife days after the accusation, and she said there's a reason why rich, powerful men get away with it.

Melissa Hancock -- who's been featured on "Little Women: Atlanta" -- was allegedly driving the car that killed a man in a head-on crash and she's been arrested for DUI.

Virginia State Police say Hancock collided head-on with a 29-year-old male driver Saturday morning while going the wrong way on a one-way street. Cops were called to the scene after 2 AM and arrested Hancock. The man died later at the hospital.

Hancock's been charged with DUI/maiming and driving the wrong way. She's reportedly being held without bail in a Virginia Beach jail.

Harvey Weinstein's legal team is disputing reports that an indictment is imminent.

Weinstein's publicist issued a statement to the media saying, "We do not believe an indictment of Mr. Weinstein is imminent. A formal presentation will be made on Mr. Weinstein's behalf in the appropriate course of the investigation, and we strongly believe we will demonstrate that no criminal charges are warranted."

Translation ... Weinstein's team is saying they will sit down with prosecutors and make their case that Weinstein did not rape Paz de la Huerta.

The statement also suggests the case is not about to go to the Grand Jury, because once it's in the Grand Jury's hands there's no point in meeting with prosecutors.

There have been reports the case is about to go to the Grand Jury, but a senior member of the D.A.'s office tells TMZ that is not the case.

Weinstein's statement goes on to say criminal defense lawyers Blair Berk and Ben Brafman will be defending Weinstein in all matters involving New York.

Making custom grillz for the whole Astros roster wasn't good enough for Paul Wall ... 'cause he just commemorated the team's first World Series with a HUGE back tattoo!!

Wall rolled through G6 Tattoo Studios in Houston for the fresh ink -- which he showed off on Wednesday with his "World Series Grillz" track bumpin' in the background.

The H-Town MC's got several tats reppin' his civic pride -- but this one's probably the most epic.

Speaking of those grillz ... the 'Stros came through Wall and Johnny Dang's shop recently to get 'em molded -- and word is they're ready for pickup!
