Al Pacino Gives TMZ Photog Thumbs Up ... For Scarface Impression!!!

Published | Updated

Al Pacino, one of the great actors of all time, was IMPRESSED by our photog's homage ... seriously!!!

Dante spotted Al Friday leaving E Baldi in Bev Hills, and he surrendered his camera to someone and put it all out there ... first doing a bit from "Any Given Sunday" and then doing a more-than-respectable "Scarface." Check it out ... Al gave his seal of approval.

Speaking of this given Sunday ... Al seems pretty damn unimpressed by the Super Bowl.

Uma Thurman Harvey Weinstein Sexually Attacked Me

Published | Updated

Uma Thurman recently said she was waiting until her anger subsided to reveal what she insinuated was a sexual assault at the hands of Harvey Weinstein, and she's now opened up.

Uma says years ago she and Weinstein were in a Paris hotel room discussing a script, when he asked her to go into a steam room with him. She says she entered in a black leather outfit, but quickly called him out, saying it was "ridiculous" they were in there together. She says he got mad and bolted from the steam room ... this according to a new interview with The New York Times.

Uma then says, shortly thereafter, they were in London at the Savoy Hotel in Weinstein's hotel suite. She says Weinstein suddenly shoved himself on her and tried exposing himself. She says she screamed at him, saying he was "like an animal wriggling away, like a lizard.

She says the next day Weinstein sent her flowers and apologized.

Uma says after the apology, they met and she warned him, "If you do what you did to me to other people you will lose your career, your reputation and your family, I promise you.

They have had a fractured relationship ever since, but they did work together again.

Weinstein's reps told the NY Times, "Mr. Weinstein acknowledges making a pass at Ms. Thurman in England after misreading her signals in Paris. He immediately apologized." Weinstein denies threatening Uma's career.

Joey Fatone Doubles Down ... Timberlake WON'T Perform with 'N Sync

Published | Updated

Joey Fatone is itching to collect $1k from our photog, who bet him that 'N Sync will take the stage with Justin Timberlake during the halftime show at the Super Bowl.

We got Joey Friday night at the Leather and Laces Party in Minneapolis and he's stickin' with his story that Justin will perform solo, although he's not ruling out a surprise appearance by Janet Jackson.

Joey offers evidence ... singers who perform for a billion people typically don't go out and party 2 days before the big game.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Joey might have a point ... we got video of Justin's rehearsal, and he's on stage like a lone wolf.

Lonnie Ali Tom Brady's No Muhammad Ali ... Yet

HE'S NO ALI

Lonnie Ali flew into Minnesota Friday, presumably for the Super Bowl, and as good as Tom Brady is ... she clearly thinks the title "The Greatest" belongs to her late husband Muhammad Ali.

Lonnie acknowledges Tom's kind of the shiny bright object of the moment, but putting him in a larger context -- he's not at the level of Ali.

She does acknowledge ... the book isn't closed yet on Brady, and he could ascend to greater heights, especially if he does great things outside football.

I GOT AMBUSHED!

Anthony Scaramucci WENT OFF on Republican big wig David Frum, calling him a liar, and that's just for starters.

We got The Mooch at Craig's Friday night after he shot an episode of Bill Maher's show, where Frum suggested Scaramucci was involved in a shady business deal.

You gotta listen to the clip. Scaramucci says Frum suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and then expresses sympathy for Frum's wife and children.

The funny thing ... Bill Maher was totally bored by the confrontation during the show.

Viola Davis Talks Kobe's Demise On 'How to Get Away with Murder'

Published | Updated

Viola Davis was kinda coy about Kobe Bryant showing up during a table read for an episode of "How to Get Away with Murder," but it sounds to us like Kobe's testing his acting chops, though his fate on the show sounds like it will end tragically.

We got Viola -- who by the way is super cool and fun -- Friday at LAX, and at first she seems to pooh pooh the notion that Kobe will appear on the show. Then again, she's a great actress!

But our photog pinned her down -- after all, she tweeted Kobe did indeed show up -- but her explanation is pretty hilarious.

Conor McGregor Open to Career in Politics ... And a Rematch w/ Floyd!

I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT!

"The Notorious" might be "Minister McGregor" in a matter of years ... 'cause Conor McGregor tells TMZ Sports he's open to a career in politics!

We got Conor chillin' in NYC with his GF, Dee Devlin ... and the UFC mega-star was positively giddy when we asked him about potentially running for office -- something he teased on social media earlier this week.

"Maybe, who knows?! I know they're shakin' in their boots anyway!!" Conor said.

He was clearly in a joking mood, but Conor seemed dead serious is his cryptic message criticizing the Irish government.

There's more ... when our guy tried (emphasis on "tried") asking about a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov ... McGregor immediately brought up Floyd Mayweather, saying he "needs to fight again."

With Floyd teasing an MMA fight all week, ya gotta wonder ... could Floyd vs. Conor 2 actually happen in the UFC?

Rasual Butler Crash Cops Retracing Steps to Find Clues

Published | Updated

Cops have launched an investigation into the car crash that killed ex-NBA player Rasual Butler and his wife Leah LaBelle ... and they're retracing the couple's steps that night to find out exactly what went down.

We've learned investigators have visited several businesses near the crash site in Studio City, CA -- including a popular bowling alley where the couple was spotted earlier in the evening.

We know what you're thinking -- was alcohol involved? We're told cops are not specifically looking for proof Butler was boozing before the crash ... they'll know from the toxicology report.

The priority, we're told, is finding video of the couple in the car right before the crash -- in order to see what specifically caused the Range Rover to lose control and crash.

Meanwhile, we're told the autopsies on both Rasual and Leah have been completed -- and the medical examiner has said the cause is "multiple traumatic injuries" and listed the manner of death as an "accident."

Rasual was 38. Leah was 31.

5SOS Drummer Ashton Irwin Drops Almost $1M for Baller Condo

Published | Updated

5 Seconds of Summer drummer Ashton Irwin is on a mission to be the prince of West Hollywood ... he just bought another crib there.

Ashton plunked down $949,500 for this sick penthouse that features picturesque views of the Hollywood Hills and city lights. The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom pad is a top-floor unit and has its own private balcony.

The 1,250 square foot condo features high ceilings and bamboo flooring, and it's within walking distance to the famous Sunset Strip. Greg Moesser was the listing agent and Jonathan London repped Ashton.

Irwin's apparently got a burning hole in his pocket. He closed on a Hollywood Hills crib in 2016 ... dropping $1.7 mil for that one.
