SCHOOL'S IN SESSION

Drake must have very strong legs because no one, and we mean NO ONE, hops bandwagons better than the 6 God ... who's now repping the University of Miami. For a day, anyway.

Drizzy was on campus of Da U shooting a music vid for his smash hit, "God's Plan," and decided to work the crowd into a frenzy by throwing up the "U" symbol.

Here's the thing ... Drake does this all the time, he was just going on and on about the University of Alabama, before that it was Kentucky, and so on and so on.

And don't get us started on the NBA, where he's repped the Raptors, Heat, Warriors, and even partied with the Cavs.

C'mon bro ... pick a side.

Cardi B Gets Gang Threats For Crip-Dissing IG Post

Published | Updated

Cardi B is dealing with a flood of threats from apparent gang members, thanks to a social media post that included a hardcore diss against the Crips.

On Monday, Cardi put up a shot of herself rocking a blue fur coat in Minneapolis. Her caption said, "I hate wearing Flue but this coat was too poppin." It's that word "Flue" that has her in serious hot water -- it's a way to knock Crips favorite color, blue, without using the actual word.

Cardi's publicly stated she is a Blood, so the post -- which has more than a million likes -- pissed off the rival Crips, who not only left angry comments ... some flat-out threatened her.

The rapper's scheduled to come to L.A. for NBA All-Star festivities in about 10 days ... and her new enemies know it. One comment said, "@iamcardib this will not be accepted #DONTCOMETOLA."

Another comment -- "Now why you go and do this f**k s**t Cardi. This is literally WestCoast Suicide .... bitch betta get #neutral."

For what it's worth -- within minutes of us reaching out to Cardi's people ... the "flue" caption was removed. Still no comment from Cardi though.

According to the police report, the burglary occurred on Sunday evening at 8:50 PM ET -- right when Gronk was playing in the Super Bowl.

Cops have not said what items were stolen -- but have assured the public they are on the hunt for the perps.

DJ Khaled Fiancee's Murdered Brother Was at Apt. for Super Bowl, Not Drugs

Published | Updated

DJ Khaled's fiancee's murdered brother wasn't involved in a drug deal gone bad and was simply caught in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was shot ... so says a source close to the family.

Nicole Tuck's brother Jonathan was killed in a Bronx apartment Sunday during what the NYPD called a botched weed deal. However, sources close to the family tell us Jonathan was only at the apartment to watch the Super Bowl.

Our sources say while Jonathan was there, there was an attempted robbery and, in trying to defend himself, Jonathan was shot in the back of the head -- not in the face -- as was first reported.

Jonathan was a devoted father to his 2-year-old daughter Gianna. We're told he was a stay-at-home dad who always put family first ... he was a loyal son and uncle as well. Jonathan and Nicole were very close.

DJ Khaled and Nicole tell us, "Our family appreciates the condolences from loved ones and friends ... we are requesting privacy during this difficult time."

MISSION SUCCESS!

Elon Musk is a very happy (and still very rich) man after SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon Heavy rocket toward Mars -- and it was freakin' awesome to watch!

SpaceX sent up the most powerful U.S. rocket in nearly half a century from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Elon had previously said there's a good chance the Falcon Heavy rocket won't survive liftoff. He's never been happier to be wrong.

The mission goal -- send the payload beyond Mars' orbit.

Musk added, "I hope it makes it far enough away from the pad that it does not cause pad damage." Well, it did, and really cool part -- they also safely landed the reusable booster rockets back on Earth.

TOUCHDOWN!

The launch test is another step toward colonizing Mars, which is why SpaceX is sending a Tesla Roadster as part of the rocket's test payload. David Bowie's "Space Oddity" was playing on the car's stereo system. Serious style points.

The Falcon Heavy will generate 5M pounds of thrust ... making it the most powerful launch since NASA's Saturn V that had 7.5M pounds of thrust during its Apollo mission.

James Franco Attention Oscar Voters ... Catch Me Ridin' Dirty

Published | Updated

James Franco's dealing with a friendlier wave in Hollywood these days -- not a backlash from Oscar voters ... just the kind under his surfboard.

The 'Disaster Artist' star caught some waves Monday with his girlfriend, Isabel Pakzad, in Venice. James was hanging ten on the same day this year's Oscar nominees posed for their group photo.

James showed zero signs of FOMO.

James, of course, won a Golden Globe and a Critics' Choice Award for Best Actor, but got the cold shoulder from the Motion Picture Academy amid multiple accusations of sexual misconduct.

Cool waves, hot girlfriend -- Franco's attitude seems to be ... Oscar who?

Jill Scott I Need a Gag Order My Lousy Ex Has Been Trashing Me

Published | Updated

Jill Scott just got a restraining order which puts a muzzle on her estranged husband.

The singer filed legal docs claiming Michael Dobson has engaged in a campaign of harassment and disparagement with an endgame of squeezing money out of her.

She says in her declaration he did an interview where he called her "an evil woman" and threatened to "fight dirty."

Scott also says Dobson has contacted her friends and family and talked trash about her. When she confronted him, she says he told her he was on a campaign of revenge to get even because she filed to end their 19-month marriage.

She says money seems to be his endgame, citing she has business accounts worth more than $2 mil and various other assets.

Scott says they have a prenup that prohibits both of them from blabbing to the media, and since he's violating that she wants a gag order.

The judge issued the order.

Kourtney Kardashian doesn't have a new baby like most of her sisters, but she's still rocking an ear-to-ear grin, courtesy of BF Younes Bendjima.

They were giggling like a couple of school kids while juicing up Monday in West Hollywood. The mom of 3 and her 24-year-old dude kept it chill ... hanging outside for a few minutes and chatting ... before leaving in separate cars.

Younes seems to leave chicks smiling at juice stops on the reg.

Based on her crop top and exposed abs ... we're positive he hated to see Kourt go.

We got the California congresswoman on her way into the vote, and she explained exactly how politicians are finally addressing the age-old problem of sexual harassment and abuse in the Capitol.

Speier's been pushing for change since referencing an unnamed list of her peers who'd secretly settled sexual harassment suits with taxpayer money. She says this new bill makes sure this never happens again.

As for the alleged "creep list" -- she explains why she's not naming names yet.

Mike 'The Situation' Exotic Car Flexin' After Tax Evasion Case

Published | Updated

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino's in a dancing mood checking out luxury whips ... probably because he doesn't have to stress about dropping cash on one of them.

The Sitch was with his 'Jersey Shore' pals Ronnie, Vinny and Pauly D Monday in Miami filming for their reunion show, and visited an exotic car dealership to take a couple badass rides for a spin.

Ronnie took the wheel of a Lambo, with Mike riding shotgun -- while Pauly D and Vin hopped in a Bentley.

The sad situation is ... Sitch ain't getting any closer than a test drive. As we reported, he recently pled guilty to tax evasion, and owes a big check to the IRS. He's also looking at up to 5 years in prison and a hefty fine.

Window shopping ain't a crime though.

Cassidy's a wanted man ... for all the wrong reasons.

There's a warrant out for the Philly MC's arrest in New Jersey for failing to appear in court last week for a hearing in his drug possession case ... this according to the Jersey City Municipal Court.

TMZ broke the story ... the rapper was arrested and booked in November for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

There's a presumption of innocence on the drug charges, but he's definitely guilty of not setting a reminder to get his butt to court.

Sean Spicer The Largest Townhouse That I've Ever Rented Out, Period!

Published | Updated

Sean Spicer's looking for a tenant to sign a lease on the largest D.C. area townhouse ever witnessed both in person and around the globe -- kidding ... it only has 2 bedrooms.

The ex-White House Press Secretary recently put his own 2-bed, 1-bath townhouse on the market in Alexandria, VA for $2,550 per month in rent ... and we gotta say, this thing's pretty adorable.

The brick property's got hardwood floors, washer, dryer, fridge and microwave. It also has a nice little backyard for intimate, politico-themed BBQs.

Spicer tells us it's one of 4 investment properties he owns in the area, but he's never lived there himself. Beltway renters ... come on get Spicey!

Tristan, Travis and Scott No Written Custody Deal with the Kardashians

Published | Updated

Three Kardashian baby daddies are all taking a leap of faith ... that their baby mamas will give them proper custody and/or visitation without the benefit of a custody agreement.

Sources connected to all three men tell TMZ, they never papered their financial and custodial arrangements. We're told Travis Scott and Kylie don't have anything in writing regarding custody or support of their newborn daughter. Same goes for Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian, although that may be a bit premature since she hasn't given birth.

More interesting, perhaps, is that we're told Scott Disick doesn't have a written custody agreement with Kourtney Kardashian. They have 3 kids and from what we hear, the only conflict involves Scott's sobriety.

They have the option at any time of trying to ink a custody arrangement or going to court for one if they can't do it on their own.

As for Kanye and Kim ... no need for any agreement since they're hitched.

Khaled and Nicole had a son, Asahd, in 2016.
