Rich the Kid's performance at a Hollywood nightclub as part of NBA All-Star Weekend was interrupted in a big way after a man was seen brandishing a gun in the parking lot.

Cops descended on Lure nightclub after getting the 911 call, and the video is gripping and dramatic. You see police with guns drawn ordering people out of their cars.

People inside the club ran for cover into the streets as an army of cops searched for the suspect.

The parking lot is also used for the ArcLight theatre, which was showing "Black Panther." We're told the movie was not interrupted.

11:45 AM PT -- Sources close to Nipsey tell TMZ he wasn't present for the shooting. We're told he was performing across town at the Shrine Auditorium for YG's concert, and planned to arrive to his own event afterward. Obviously, that got scratched.

Shots were fired at a Nipsey Hussle album release party Saturday night in L.A., and someone got hit.

Someone started shooting in the parking lot outside World on Wheels, a roller skating rink in Venice. One person was shot in the thigh.

Cops swarmed the area on the ground and in the air. The shooter got away and police were left high and dry after the victim refused to cooperate.

The shooting went down at around 11:30 PM. We're told people inside the roller rink freaked out ... many fearing it was a repeat of what happened Friday in Florida.

Police didn't see Nipsey after the shooting. It's unclear if he had already left.

Twista rendered a man helpless while his friend repeatedly pounded away at the guy.

It went down after Twista left the Michael Jordan party in Bel-Air during NBA All-Star Weekend. A shuttle took party-goers from a parking lot to the home where the shindig was going down.

At around 1:30 AM Saturday, Twista had taken the shuttle back to the parking lot and apparently got into it with a guy who had been heckling people on the shuttle bus. He apparently was harassing several women on the bus and generally being obnoxious.

We're told the guy started recording one of the women, saying, "I want to see the face of stupid."

Twista came to the defense of the women and the guy challenged the rapper once they got off the bus.

Khloe Kardashian sent her fiancé Tristan Thompson into a deli for a sandwich run Saturday afternoon while she sat tight in her Range Rover.

Khloe, who's about 7 months pregnant, was behind the wheel as Tristan made the trek into Lovi's deli in Calabasas.

Tristan is strictly a spectator for NBA All-Star Weekend this year. He's not playing at any events. He was wearing a pair of throwback 1996 All-Star shorts.

As for Khloe, she's due sometime in late March or early April.

As far as we know, the couple didn't hit up any of the festivities over the weekend, although Tristan did hit up a Rémy Martin MVP Weekend Party Friday night at The Avenue nightclub to watch Travis Scott perform.

Donald Trump did not disappoint ... he has pissed off the grieving victims and families of the Florida high school shooting by making the tragedy all about him.

Trump jumped on the shocking lapse of judgment on the part of the FBI by ignoring a call a month before the shootings, warning that Nikolas Cruz was a clear and present threat. Trump decided to make it about the Russian probe rather than the tragedy, by suggesting the FBI would have nabbed Cruz if it hadn't been preoccupied with trying to prove his campaign colluded with the Russians.

Jimmy Kimmel sardonically fired back, "I hope the FBI finds and prosecutes the complete A-hole who hacked the President's account and tweeted this."

Rob Lurie went further ... "My God. Before the children are even buried. You are not my president."

Christopher "Prince" Michael Harty from "Love and Hip Hop Miami" is going off on Black Twitter for going off on LGBTQ rappers.

We got Prince at Avalon Saturday in Hollywood and he doubled down on what he told Bleu Magazine recently ... that the intolerance toward gays in hip hop has got to stop.

He seems to have an even bigger issue ... he says Black Twitter just tries to tear down people and it's bad generally for the African American community.

Johnny Manziel says his bipolar disorder and depression got so bad at one point, he legitimately thought the world was coming to an end.

But, Johnny tells TMZ Sports he was able to pull his life back together ... and he wants people struggling with the same issues to know there's hope.

Manziel spoke to us about his mental health struggles on the heels of his bombshell "Good Morning America" interview -- saying he "felt like the end of the world was near and that I would never make it out."

FYI, Johnny told 'GMA' he was diagnosed as bipolar in 2017 ... after years of self-medicating with booze to cope with depression.

Now, Manziel says he has a positive outlook on life as he tries to mount a pro football comeback.

"To be where I'm at today and see hope and see a light ... I feel blessed to be able to have fought through the bad times," he told us at Delilah in L.A. -- where his GF, Bre Tiesi, was hosting an event.

Waka Flocka Flame saved a fan from becoming roadkill by pulling her from oncoming traffic as she tried to snap a selfie with the rapper.

Waka Flocka was down in New Orleans this week for Mardi Gras when fans mobbed him on the way down to Bourbon Street. A female fan, wearing a black jacket, attempts to snap a pic with the rapper, but in a split second, a cab comes flying out of nowhere.

Waka Flocka, in yellow, pulls her from the road as onlookers shriek in fear. Craziest of all, it appears the fan barely lifted her head from her phone to see if she got the photo.

Travis Barker's pumping the brakes on his 14-year-old son ripping a page outta Lil Pump's playbook ... at least for now.

We got the Blink-182 drummer chillin' in Calabasas, and asked him about face tattoos and if he's down to let his kids get 'em. Apparently, Travis' son, Landon, asks him everyday if he can get one ... just like his buddy, Pump.

Travis tells us if Landon wants the ink, there's a price to pay.

Remember, Pump and Landon are tight -- the rapper performed at Landon's epic birthday party last year, and it sounds like there's a chance they could hook up to do music in the future.

Olympic luger Chris Mazdzer's historic silver-medal finish didn't just come with one of those cute plush white tigers ... it came with a buttload of dirty messages, since his win also made him a big heartthrob.

Mazdzer became the first U.S. men’s singles luge medalist ever and says he can't keep up with the way his phone's been blowing up, mostly with congratulatory DMs ... but some want him to take it off.

The Olympic Village is known for being a Tinder-friendly international hook-up zone, and Chris says the layout makes it super convenient.

What happens when "Big Brother" legend Jessie Godderz runs into his favorite TMZ photog?

This time, the answer is DUCT TAPE HAIR WAX -- a punishment for not staying up on "Mr. Pec-Tacular" ... and the reality show that made him famous.

Jessie flipped the script on our guy at LAX, serving up 3 questions in an impromptu pop quiz.

Our guy only got 1 ... and the former pro wrestler wasn't about to let him off the hook.

Silver lining -- this was the LEAST painful of their encounters ... which have included a submission beatdown and manhood-crushing wedgie.

Playboy had the nerve to publish a model's nude photo on its cover after promising a bunch of times it wouldn't ... so claims a former Playmate model in a new lawsuit.

The model, filing the suit as Jane Doe, says she always wanted to appear in Playboy, but resisted because she'd never do it nude. But that all changed, she says, after Playboy, in 2015, announced it would no longer publish nude pics.

In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- the model claims the photog, shooting for Playboy Romania, repeatedly promised pics showing her nipples or other private parts would be digitally edited. She says she was appalled when her nipples were fully exposed for Playboy Romania's cover in May 2016.

Just a note ... she wanted to remain anonymous which is why she filed as Jane Doe, but she puts in the lawsuit she's on the cover of Playboy Romania's May 2016 cover. Hmmmm.

Team LeBron or Team Steph??

It doesn't matter -- the REAL winners of All-Star Weekend are the super hot wives and girlfriends flocking to town for all the festivities ... as if L.A. needed any more beautiful women.

We all know about Bron Bron's lovely wife, Savannah, and Curry's better half, Ayesha ... but don't forget about newcomers like Karl-Anthony Towns' GF, Kawahine Andrade, and Bradley Beal's smokin' lady friend, Kamiah Adams.

Angela Bassett's good looks are truly timeless.

Here's a 34-year-old version of the "Malcolm X" star at an event back in 1992 (left) and 25 years later ... the now 59-year-old "Black Panther" queen at the premiere last month (right).

Hot mama!

The question is ...

Lionel Richie doesn't sound like a dad who's ready to spring for a wedding for his daughter just yet ... at least not with her current BF

The legendary singer opened up about his 19-year-old daughter Sofia's relationship with 34-year-old Scott Disick, telling The Daily Telegraph she's at an age where she thinks she knows everything ... but he's not so sure.

Lionel says of the couple, "Is it going to be for life? I don’t know. But for right now it’s just a phase and I’m going to stand real still in the corner, get me a good drink and not make too much noise.”

Richie likens the situation to when he was Sofia's age, rocking an Afro and telling his father he was in love. He says his dad ignored it and let him figure it out, and adds ... "My daughter is getting me back for my Afro days!"

When we last checked in on Sofia and Scott, she was dancing for him in a skimpy Santa suit ... to Lionel's music.

Lil Yachty and Offset are the latest celebs to join the 'Black Panther Challenge' ... and they got their crowd of kids pumped up to watch the blockbuster movie.

The rappers hit up Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre Saturday, where "This is Us" writer Jas Waters set up a fully-funded screening for 500 foster and at-risk children. She says Yachty and Offset surprised the kids ... and also bought out the rest of the theater!

Yes sir!!!

"This is Us" actor Lonnie Chavis, who plays young Randall, was also on stage.
