We're told Rosario and Eric were in the crowd. Unclear if it was a date, since they reportedly broke up 3 weeks ago. We know they helped the fundraising effort by hitting up the merch booth.

The event raised $60k to help 2 L.A. shelters -- My Friend's Place and the Downtown Women's Center.

Senator Orrin Hatch is sticking to the story he told earlier this week -- that Donald Trump could be the greatest Prez ever -- and now he's even doubling down on that.

We got the Utah senator on Capitol Hill Thursday, the day after Trump and nearly all congressional Republicans did a victory lap for the new tax bill.

During the celebration, Hatch said Trump could possibly be at the helm of the greatest presidency in American history. So, we followed up ... and this time, he says theres some BIG names that 45 can match.

As for HOW he gets that done? Let's just say, OH was short on details.

Published | Updated

Tyga's getting into the holiday spirit ... and it looks like he's feeling jolly about his new 'do, too.

The rapper was spotted Christmas shopping in Beverly Hills Thursday ... while rocking an afro instead of his usual cornrows. He made a Prada purchase for somebody on his nice list and went on his merry way.

And what's Tyga Claus riding around in these days? A brand new red and white Bugatti that beats the hell out of Santa's sleigh.

Tyga's clearly not letting that recent $50,000 hit to his L.A. store affect his spending habits.

French Montana Shows Evelyn ... They Call Me Mr. Romantic!

Published | Updated

French Montana is more than just a baller, he's also a softy when it comes to impressing the ladies ... something Evelyn Lozada learned right off the bat when they hooked up.

Well connected sources tell TMZ ... French had a private chef whip up a fancy meal at his L.A. crib for his first date with Evelyn. No group date, this was dinner for 2 with some CÎROC French Vanilla on the side, of course. Gotta rep for his brand.

We're told Evelyn and the rapper met through mutual friends, and have been hanging out for a few weeks, but are far from "exclusive" ... for now. One source says she's finally ready to get back in the dating world.

Evelyn left her baby daddy, ex-MLB star Carl Crawford, over the summer when she suspected infidelity. His loss is French's gain ... for now.

I STALKED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT

A Katy Perry fanatic has been arrested and ordered to stay away from the singer at all times after he told a cop he'll "do whatever it takes" to be with her ... TMZ has learned.

Pawel Jurski -- a 37-year-old man from Poland -- appeared in a Miami criminal court Thursday and faces felony charges of aggravated stalking and escape ... and misdemeanor charges of loitering and resisting arrest.

Jurski allegedly tried to bum-rush the stage through a security area at Perry's concert at American Airlines Arena in Miami Wednesday night, but was stopped by security and held until cops showed up to arrest him.

According to the police report ... Jurski's been to at least 6 of Katy's shows in different cities in the past 20 days and has tried to contact her at each stop. When asked if he would harm Perry, Jurski replied ... "I will do whatever it takes to be with Katy Perry."

He also told cops while he was in Chicago, he secretly followed Katy to a steakhouse to surprise her.

He won't be going to anymore of her gigs now, though ... and the judge set his bond at $34k and made him surrender his travel docs.

L.A. City Attorney Michael Feuer 'Itching' To File Criminal Sexual Harassment Case

Published | Updated

L.A. City's top prosecutor is anxiously waiting for a sexual harassment case to land on his desk so he can "make a point" ... this according to sources inside his office.

We're told City Attorney Mike Feuer has his team ready to file what will almost certainly be a misdemeanor sexual battery case. Problem is ... so far there are no cases to file.

TMZ broke the story ... the LAPD's Sexual Assault Section of the Robbery-Homicide Division is writing reports on every sexual assault complaint the Department receives, even if the statute of limitations has run or the evidence is thin. The reports will all be forwarded to the L.A. County District Attorney, which can prosecute felony rape, battery or other criminal charges.

If the D.A. feels a case isn't suitable for felony prosecution it can be referred to the City Attorney for misdemeanor prosecution, and that's what Feuer is waiting for.

Our sources say Feuer wants in the game so his office can weigh in on the importance of prosecuting these cases.

We're told Feuer's interest is not specifically targeted at Harvey Weinstein, who we're told has the largest number of LAPD complaints. Feuer wants a prosecution, whether it's against Weinstein or not.

As one City Attorney source put it, "It's only a matter of time before the Office files a case."

Holly Holm Floyd Could Def Switch to MMA ... I Would Know!!

Published | Updated

Floyd Mayweather moving over to MMA just got the thumbs-up from Holly Holm -- who says she could see TBE knucklin' up for the UFC ... and goin' after it with all he's got.

"I'm sure he won't mind putting in the work if he decides to do something with MMA," Holm told the guys on "TMZ Live."

If anyone would know, it'd be Holly -- who won 18 TITLE FIGHTS in boxing before she became a UFC superstar.

But HH -- who's fighting Cris Cyborg at UFC 219 -- ain't saying it's gonna be easy ... in fact, she told us one area where Mayweather's REALLY gotta work if he doesn't wanna get wrecked.

FYI, Floyd shot down fighting for the UFC on Wednesday after Dana White said they were in talks ... but, in the same breath, said the door's always open.

Harvey Weinstein Owes $5 Mil in Child Support Ex Worries He's Going Broke

Published | Updated

Harvey Weinstein's ex-wife says he's blowing stacks of cash on lawyers to fight sexual assault and harassment claims, and she's worried his children will get left in the lurch ... to the tune of $5 mil.

Eve Chilton was in a Manhattan court Thursday telling the judge she is watching all the lawsuits pile up against Weinstein. According to the NY Post, she insisted the movie mogul is pre-paying attorneys millions of dollars to defend him in those cases.

Chilton's concern, according to attorney Bonnie Rabin, is the money she says Weinstein still owes in child support. Their 3 daughters are currently 22, 19 and 15 ... but, according to their 2004 divorce agreement, Weinstein has to fork over $60 mil.

Rabin says there's $5 mil outstanding, and they have good reason to be concerned he won't have it when the dust settles from his legal woes. She added, Weinstein's net worth -- reportedly around $240 million -- means he can certainly afford to pay the lump sum now ... while he can.

Weinstein's lawyer says there's no reason for concern, and told the judge his client has never missed a single child support payment in 14 years.

Lauryn Hill Sued Ready or Not, I'm Coming for the Dough You Owe!

Published | Updated

Lauryn Hill and her team hired a trombone player to record some songs and hit the road with her, but then fired him before ever paying him ... or so he claims in a lawsuit.

Lauryn, her touring manager and her touring company are being sued by Matthew Hartnett, who says he joined L-Boogie's team last summer for some live recording sessions. Apparently it went well, he says she offered him a touring gig through the fall.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Hartnett claims he billed them an industry standard rate for the sessions, and signed a 10-week tour contract -- but never got paid for either. He says he was fired before the tour started.

According to the suit, Hartnett's entitled to at least half his touring contract ... not to mention another $4k or so for his studio cash. All in all he's suing for $11,521.60 ... plus damages.

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

Mel B Cuts Ex-Hubby's Name Out of Her ... Literally

Published | Updated

Tattoos aren't forever ... just ask Mel B, who literally cut a chunk out of her torso just to get rid of ex-husband Stephen Belafonte's name.

While the more commonly used method is laser removal, Mel took a more extreme approach to make sure the ink was gone as fast as possible.

The original tat read, “Stephen, till death do us part you own my heart,” but Mel only removed Stephen's name, so she can always get a new one tatted in ... once the scar heals.

Ouch.

FRAUD ALERT!!!

Someone's out there pretending to be Oprah -- soliciting money from her fans and followers -- and the real O ain't happy about it.

The real deal Oprah went straight to her real deal IG account to warn fans about the impostor account. Apparently, the scam artist is demanding money in exchange for access to social media accounts.

O's got a few bucks stashed away, so no reason for her to be panhandling online. Her point here -- made partially in a song -- is don't fall for it.

Apple Sued Slow Your Roll ... Not Our Old iPhones!!!

Published | Updated

Apple's admission to slowing down older iPhones isn't sitting well with one California man ... so he's going after the tech giant on behalf of all his fellow outdated iPhone users.

A new class action suit has been filed by Stefan Bogdanovich, an L.A. man who, like millions of other people, uses an iPhone ... but not an iPhone 8. He claims Apple's tactic of slowing down older iPhone models causes users to suffer -- specifically those with the 7 or 7s -- and take a hit to their wallets.

Bogdanovich claims Apple's decision to slow the operation of older phones to save battery life was never requested or agreed upon ... and it lowers the value of their phones. He also believes -- like many other users -- that it's just a ploy by Apple to get folks to buy the newest iPhone.

He wants Apple to stop slowing down older phones and get some payback for damages.
