Judd Apatow Donates $1k to FL Shooting Victim
Judd Apatow is just one of thousands of people who've donated to a child who was shot and critically injured during the Florida high school shooting ... TMZ has learned.
Judd's rep confirmed to us that the comedian had, in fact, contributed $1,000 to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Anthony Borges, who was shot multiple times while attempting to save others last week in the mass shooting.
According to the official GoFundMe page, Anthony took bullets to both legs and his back while trying to close and lock a door to a classroom full of classmates. He's alive and stable, but has "a long road of recovery ahead." The fund has raised over $400k so far.
There are 2 other donors who might be famous -- a Kevin Smith donated $1,000 and Eric McCormack donated $500. We haven't heard back from reps to confirm it's the filmmaker and the "Will and Grace" star.

Serena Williams I 'Almost Died' After Giving Birth ... Emergency Surgery
Serena Williams says she "almost died" after giving birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia -- if not for a team of super doctors who removed a large hematoma from her abdomen.
The tennis star says her daughter was born by an emergency C-section on Sept. 1 after Olympia's heart rate plummeted during contractions.
The surgery went smoothly, Serena said on CNN.com ... "But what followed just 24 hours after giving birth were six days of uncertainty."
Williams says she suffered a pulmonary embolism -- which is when a blood clot blocks one or more arteries in her lungs.
Serena contacted medical professionals -- but the coughing from the embolism got so bad, her C-section wound popped open and she required another surgery.
"The doctors found a large hematoma, a swelling of clotted blood, in my abdomen. And then I returned to the operating room for a procedure that prevents clots from traveling to my lungs."
Serena eventually made it home and was ordered to spend the next 6 weeks in bed.
She credits the "incredible medical team of doctors and nurses at a hospital with state-of-the-art equipment" -- and urges people to support UNICEF, which provides medical services to mothers and babies around the world.

Queen Elizabeth Stylin' & Profilin' w/ Anna Wintour ... Front Row at LFW!
Queen Elizabeth made a rare appearance on the sidelines of a catwalk as she graced London Fashion Week alongside Anna Wintour ... but she didn't seem that impressed.
The Queen was spotted sitting in the front row Tuesday at Richard Quinn's fashion show, and while a bunch of people -- including Anna -- clapped for the models as they strutted ... Elizabeth seemed to hold back a bit on the applause.
Video: the Queen #FROW #LFW with Dame Anna Wintour pic.twitter.com/EQ9LukUWBX
@RE_DailyMail
Based on this video, it's unclear if she had just wrapped up a polite Royal mini clap ... but she definitely didn't hold it as long as everyone else. Richard and co. shouldn't feel too bad, though ... apparently she hardly claps for anything.
What's crazier ... this appears to be the first time the Queen of England has attended a show for London Fashion Week. Even at 91 years old ... Elizabeth can still surprise us.

Blac Chyna Ex-BF Says That's Him in Sex Tape ... And He's PISSED!!!
Blac Chyna's most recent sex tape partner is her ex-boyfriend, Mechie ... according to him, and even though he admits recording it himself, he's as pissed as she is about the leak.
A rep for Mechie tells TMZ ... the explicit video showing a naked Chyna performing oral sex was shot back in July. We're told Mechie was the one who recorded the encounter, but it was all captured using Chyna's phone.
His rep says Mechie never had his own copy of the video, so he has no clue how it got out.
You'll remember -- Rob Kardashian posted naked pics of Chyna last year ... as well as an intimate video of Mechie making out with dark-haired Chyna. The sex tape is from a different session because Chyna has a platinum blonde 'do.
We broke the story, Chyna's attorney, Walter Mosley, calls the new, leaked video a "criminal matter" -- while her other lawyer, Lisa Bloom, put a name on the crime ... revenge porn.
Our sources say Mechie plans to go to cops, and wants the leaker found and prosecuted.
We're told he and Chyna have not talked since their split in August.

Milo Yiannopoulos Ends $10 Million Suit vs. Publisher ... No Money Exchanged
Milo Yiannopoulos' $10 million lawsuit against Simon & Schuster is over and done ... and the publishing giant says it isn't paying him a dime.
TMZ broke the story ... Milo sued his former publisher claiming they caved from mounting pressure -- from all kinds of celebs -- to put the kibosh on his book deal after allegations surfaced he condoned pedophilia.
Milo's lawsuit claimed Simon & Schuster was set to publish his book, "Dangerous," but got cold feet when stars like Sarah Silverman and Leslie Jones put Milo's publishers on blast for helping Milo spread hate speech.
Now both sides have filed to dismiss the lawsuit, and Milo can't refile it either. Usually that means there was some sort of settlement paid, but Simon & Schuster says "We are pleased that Mr. Yiannopoulos’ lawsuit has been withdrawn, with prejudice, and with no payment. We stand by our decision to terminate the publication of Mr. Yiannopoulos’ book."
The only upshot for Milo is his $80,000 advance for the book. He tells us he got to keep that, and brags he's made more than $1 million from publishing the book on his own. He says he didn't want to blow that money on lawyers ... and that's why he walked away from the lawsuit.
Simon & Schuster says Milo got to keep the $80,000 advance because they never asked for it back.

Blac Chyna 'Got it Going On' for Sexy PJ Party What Sex Tape???
If Blac Chyna is upset about her sex tape leaking to the world ... she sure as hell wasn't showing it during what looks like a sexy sleepover party with Amber Rose -- and her baby girl, Dream.
BC was strutting her stuff in an animal-print onesie Monday evening ... 12 hours or so after the video of her performing oral sex hit the Internet. Her BFF, Amber, gave her props, shouting ... "Dreamy's mom got it going on." Yes, Dream had a front row seat for the action.
TMZ broke the story ...Chyna's attorneys say the sex tape release is a "criminal act" which they've reported to cops. Ditto for the guy in the video -- her ex, Mechie, tells us he also wants the leaker prosecuted.
Guess she's leaving it to the lawyers to sort out ... 'cause Dream's mommy doesn't look like she's losing sleep.
BTW ... Twitter's already shut down the account that first posted the sex tape, saying the video appears "to have been taken or distributed without the subject's consent."

Michael B. Jordan Gets Physical, Flirty with Lupita ... 'BP' Set Romance?
Lupita Nyong'o has Michael B. Jordan wrapped around her finger ... for at least a few more days, but that's what he gets for betting.
The "Black Panther" co-stars have been getting pretty flirty in recent weeks, and it continued when she popped into his dressing room Monday at "The View." After grabbing/caressing Michael's face ... Lupita demanded he drop down and pump out ... one push-up.
Apparently they made some bet, which he lost, and now MBJ has to do on-call, on-demand push-ups.
The dressing room antics only fueled dating rumors. They were spotted getting a little handsy at several events and promotional appearances last week ... including NY Fashion Week.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
While their fans are all about it, and would LOVE to see them really be a thing ... our sources say the flirting is more about promoting the movie.
With $235 mil at the box office, we'd say ... mission accomplished!

Paul Marciano Stepping Aside from Guess Duties Amid Co. Investigation
Guess co-founder Paul Marciano is giving up his day-to-day responsibilities as a key executive of his fashion company while it completes a misconduct investigation.
Guess Inc. made the announcement Tuesday, which comes nearly two weeks after Kate Upton detailed allegations of sexual harassment against Marciano.
As we reported ... she claims he groped her breasts and thighs, forcibly kissed her, fired her from shoots and called her a "fat pig" in 2011. He's denied her allegations.
Shortly after coming out with her full story, Kate told us Guess needs to clean house if they really wanted to deal with their issues with women ... suggesting it was a company-wide problem that came from the top down.
As for this latest news ... Guess says Marciano will not be getting paid while he steps aside. He serves as the executive chairman of the co. board as well as its chief creative officer.
For his part, Marciano says ... "I have pledged my full cooperation to the Company, and I have the utmost confidence in our CEO, Victor Herrero to continue leading the Company during this time."

Chris Rock Rihanna's Snub Helped Him Out ... Says Bro, Jordan
Chris Rock is a changed man for the better, now that he's dating younger women -- and it all might be thanks to him getting shot down by Rihanna first ... so says his brother.
We got Jordan Rock -- the youngest of 7 Rock siblings -- and asked if Chris was aiming too high by trying to get at RiRi post-divorce, like he explained in his new Netflix special, "Tamborine."
Jordan says the Rocks know no limits when shooting their shot -- even though it didn't really work out for Chris and Rihanna. The upside ... Chris's new GF is, in fact, younger than him, and he seems to be in a better mood because of it ... according to Jordan, anyway.
Sounds like a proper thank you is in order for Ms. Fenty for helping Chris turn a new leaf. Or maybe a "Happy 30th Birthday" will do.

Dwyane Wade & Gabby 'Black History Month' Dinner ... w/ Chappelle, Kevin Hart
Talk about a power dinner ...
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union met up with Dave Chappelle and Kevin Hart at one of the fanciest restaurants in Beverly Hills ... and TMZ Sports has the video!
Of course, they were all in town for the NBA All-Star Game -- but when we asked why they all met for dinner, D-Wade joked, "Black History Month!"
Clearly, they're all good friends -- and joked around together after chowing down at Mastro's Steakhouse.
At one point, Kevin told Dwyane that he didn't have his cell phone number anymore -- and Wade joked back, "I got traded and I changed my number!"
They weren't the only superstars in the building last night -- Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Usher were also inside!

Prince William Gets Your Motor Running!!! (Maybe Just a Little?)
Prince William ain't exactly the "Easy Rider" type, but he's trying his damnedest to look the part.
The Duke of Cambridge suited up Tuesday, hopped on a Triumph motorbike, popped the clutch and zoomed off -- but not too far. This was mostly a photo op, after all.
Wills visited Triumph Motorcycles and MIRA Technology Park in England -- and took a tour to celebrate the British company's world-class facilities.
Really though ... it was an awesome excuse for the father of 2 to live in the fast lane again. William used to own a Ducati back in his youth, and seemed to recapture some of that while test riding a Triumph Tiger 1200 around the factory's private track.
He got an up-close look at the assembly line and the slick machines they're producing -- but, let's be honest, he's got baby number 3 on the way. Probably best if William sticks to this kind of racing.

2 Chainz My New Motto ... Go Blimp or Go Home!!!
Some rappers throw down a mil or two on a Bugatti, but not 2 Chainz ... he poured his dough into a blimp!
If you missed it ... Titi Boy slapped the name of his new album, "Rap or Go to the League", on a giant blimp over the weekend and flew it over Los Angeles. Prime time advertising, considering the NBA All-Star Game was in town.
We got Chainz at LAX Monday night and he seemed pretty satisfied with how the promo stunt went. We're not so sure he's thrilled with the cost though.
One thing's for sure ... helium ain't cheap! Not to mention, he opted for the glow in the dark option. As they say ... gotta spend money to make it, and 2 Chainz definitely just dropped a bundle.

Kyle Richards A Freakin' Rat Sat at My Table!!! And I Only Got 50% Off
Kyle Richards is refusing to turn rat on the NYC restaurant where an actual rat pulled up a chair, and joined her for a meal!
We got the 'Real Housewives' star Monday at LAX and asked about the images she posted of the hungry rodent that ruined her lunch earlier that day in Manhattan.
Kyle told us the "Ratatouille" experience is by far her worst restaurant nightmare -- even though she's had some doozies -- but the crazy thing is she won't name the restaurant.
And adding insult to her rat-faced injury -- the eatery didn't even comp her meal!! Maybe they have to tip the rat?

'Last Men in Aleppo' Filmmakers Toss Hail Mary for Travel Visas
Desperate times call for desperate measures -- creators of the Oscar-nominated film, "Last Men in Aleppo," are hoping party invitations will convince feds to approve their travel from Syria to the United States.
If you haven't heard ... producer Kareem Abeed, co-director Hassan Kattan and cinematographers Fadi Al Halabi and Thaer Mohamad are from Syria, and they're barred from coming to the U.S. for the Academy Awards due to President Trump's travel ban.
The filmmakers know exceptions can be made for unusual circumstances, and we're told their Hail Mary consists of securing as many Oscar party invitations as possible. They want to present the documents to local consulates Tuesday in Europe.
Their argument, we're told, will be that they have legitimate business reasons to be in L.A. before, during and after the Oscars.
Two of the guys, Hassan and Fadi, went through this last year when their documentary short, "The White Helmets" won an Oscar. They were not present to accept due to the travel ban.

Winter Olympics Alpine Skiers Want to Hook-Up Most Says Dating App
PyeongChang's Olympic village is hook-up central for alpine skiers ... who are hitting the dating app, Bumble, as hard as they hit the slopes.
Bumble says most competitors -- from all countries, not just the U.S. -- have seen a 50% spike in swipes since the games started a little over a week ago. Translation: someone's gotta help you "stretch" on your off days, right?
That mostly applies to athletes who love going downhill -- Bumble says the alpine skiers are getting more hook-up action than their fellow Olympians. According to the app ... hockey players rank second, freestyle skiers and cross-country skiers tie for third. Snowboarders and ski jumpers bring up the rear.
Ya won't get crucial stats like that on NBC!
It's also good info to keep in mind while watching the Games. You're welcome.

Tyrese Finally Gets Ball Rollin' On 'Millionheir' Clothing Line
Tyrese teased fans with a new clothing line nearly 2 years ago, but now he's making it official.
The actor/singer's company, Voltron Entertainment Company, filed docs to trademark "Millionheir" for a new clothing line. Tyrese first started pimping the brand back in June 2016, saying he wanted to launch the line, but fans were still waiting for him to roll out some products.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Tyrese already had a font and style in mind for his logo back in 2016, but it's unclear if this is the one he's sticking with for the trademark. According to the docs, he plans to use the brand for all sorts of clothing.
Tyrese also applied to trademark "Millionheir" in 2015, for aftershave and colognes. We'll see if he follows through this time.
