Joe Jackson Quincy Knows Better ... Than to Call MJ a Thief
Joe Jackson was quick on the trigger when our photog asked about Quincy Jones' claim Michael stole the hook from "Billie Jean."
We got the elder Jackson Saturday at Toscanova in Calabasas, and Joe seemed pissed Q threw shade on his late son. Quincy says MJ stole the hook from the Donna Summer's song, "State of Independence."
Truth be told ... there's no doubt Michael lifted the hook. Quincy was the producer of both "State of Independence" and "Billie Jean," and Michael actually sang on Summer's song in question.
As we first reported, when you slow "State of Independence" down, the hook on "Billy Jean" is almost identical.

Doug Jones, the guy who plays the Amphibian man in "The Shape of Water," is steadfast ... director Guillermo Del Toro didn't steal anything.
We got Jones Saturday night in Hollywood leaving Theater West, where he pooh-poohed reports that Del Toro lifted a scene from the 1991 film, 'Delicatessen."
Jones insists the film -- which is nominated for Best Picture -- is all original. Del Toro is also nominated for Best Director.

Hulk Hogan I'm Ready for WWE Comeback!!! ... Ric Flair Approves
FEBRUARY 2018
Hulk Hogan says he's ready to return to his WWE wrestling family and hopes that Vince McMahon will give him another chance to prove he's a good guy.
Hulk and his good friend Ric Flair spoke to TMZ Sports right before their Q&A event at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa -- set up by their reps at Prince Marketing Group -- and opened up about their friendship and career.
"For me, I'd love to change that last story that was told with the Hulk Hogan career. I'd love to get back in the fold, get back on the inside and correct a lot of stuff."
He adds ... "It has to be the perfect timing for both sides. We're all on good terms. We're all working towards the same goal. So hopefully, I'll be able to be back with my wrestling family some day soon."
Obviously Hulk is referring to the infamous n-word video that surfaced in 2015. McMahon severed ties with the WWE Hall of Famer after that.
FEBRUARY 2018
One guy who's vouching for Hulk is Naitch -- who tells us Hogan is one of the most caring people he's ever met ... and even flew to Georgia when he was in the hospital last year.
Flair also says Hulk gave him money when he needed it the most several years ago.
You can tell from the videos -- these guys have a bond that goes far beyond wrestling.

Omarosa Sent to Hospital On 'Celebrity Big Brother'
5:45 PM PT -- CBS confirmed Omarosa received medical attention Friday night and Saturday for an asthma attack, and says the development will be addressed on Sunday night's broadcast.
We're told her time away from the house was consistent with past houseguests who've had to leave for short-term medical care.
4:40 PM PT -- Omarosa is back in the house. The 'CBB' live feeds returned and she's with the other houseguests. She was out due to her medical issue for about 19 hours.

@BB_Updates
11:15 AM PT -- Marissa just disclosed on the live feed that Omarosa's still not back in the house, and suggests she possibly drummed up an asthma attack so she could leave and get some rest at the hospital. Marissa sounds pissed, too ... telling other houseguests she wants to know how much sleep Omarosa got.
Omarosa apparently had a rough time during a Head of Household competition on "Celebrity Big Brother" ... and got sent to the hospital for treatment.
The 'CBB' live feeds went down Friday night during the competition -- where the houseguests reportedly had to get dizzy and bowl -- but when they came back ... fans found out Omarosa was taken to the hospital, and is possibly still there.
The news came out in a convo between Ross Mathews and Marissa Jaret Winokur about the HoH competition, with Ross questioning if Omarosa would be allowed to come back. Marissa tells him injuries happen on the show -- like Christmas Abbott's broken ankle last season -- and the houseguests can return. Then she says, about Omarosa ... "I put her in the hospital."
It's unclear what medical issue Omarosa had, but considering Mathews and Winokur were joking about it ... it doesn't seem too serious.
We've reached out to CBS to ask if and when Omarosa will return to the house ... no word back so far.

It's pretty clear how much Kim dislikes Parker and it clearly irks her that Parker offered condolences for all the public to see, despite the bad blood.
Kim recently slammed the door shut on another "Sex and the City." Clearly ... it was not a very happy set back in the day.
