Adam Levine Buys Incredible $35 Million Estate ... From 'Will and Grace' Creator

Published | Updated

Adam Levine is rolling in it, because TMZ has learned he just bought an amazing Beverly Hills estate from "Will and Grace" creator Max Mutchnick.

The house -- once owned by tennis great Pete Sampras -- is amazing. It's 12,000 square feet and has 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, a screening room, pool, guest house and tennis court. It's considered a Beverly Hills masterpiece.

We've learned Adam paid $35.5 million for the property. We're told Max bought it for $23 million from Sampras back in and totally remodeled it.

Levine just sold his Holmby Hills home for $18 million -- he never lived in it and decided to sell almost immediately after buying it. And his other house in Beverly Hills is now in escrow for $15.9 mil.

Adam is repped by super real estate agent Kurt Rappaport.

Nick Gordon Arrested For Domestic Violence

Published | Updated

3/12/18 -- As of Sunday evening, Gordon has officially been released on bail.

11:37 AM PT -- According to the arrest report, obtained by TMZ, Gordon told cops his girlfriend refused to leave his residence after throwing a bottle at him and ripping his shirt. He claims she attacked him for no reason, and that she was "crazy."

But according to Gordon's GF, per police, she picked up Gordon from a bar and that while driving back he allegedly struck her in the right side of her face several times. She also says in the report that he pulled her hair and told her he should make her crash her car. Once home, she claims they got into another verbal altercation.

The arresting officer says he saw visible marks on the GF, and placed Gordon under arrest even though the woman refused to press charges.

Nick Gordon, who has been under the microscope for years in the death of Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina, has been arrested for domestic violence.

Gordon was arrested by cops in Seminole, Florida for an incident referred to as "battery-touch or strike." It is listed as a domestic violence case. He posted a $500 bond, but has not been released as of yet.

As TMZ reported, Gordon was under scrutiny in connection with Bobbi Kristina's death in 2015. There were allegations of domestic violence in the house just before she was found dead in a bathtub.

The investigation has never been closed. Gordon lost a wrongful death suit and is on the hook for $36 million to Bobbi Kristina's estate.

Gordon was also arrested in June, 2017 for domestic violence involving a new girlfriend, but the woman stopped cooperating and the charges were dropped.

'AMW' Host John Walsh We Need a Mental Illness Registry For Would-Be Gun Owners

Published | Updated

The host of "America's Most Wanted," who also helped create a national registry for sex offenders, says the same system is needed for mentally ill people looking to buy guns.

We got John Walsh Saturday at LAX and asked what he made of Florida's new gun law -- in which the age limit to purchase guns was raised to 21 ... and teachers can now be armed.

He says it's a step in the right direction, but also thinks arming teachers is the wrong way to protect schools from potential shooters -- he wants trained pros on the ground instead.

Here's the most interesting tidbit ... John apparently believes a national registry logging people with serious mental illness needs to be implemented for would-be gun owners.

It's a pretty controversial take ... so we gotta ask.

Published | Updated

If you needed further proof that Mike Tyson's daughter is LEGIT when it comes to tennis ... look no further than this clip of her schooling one Novak Djokovic.

GAME, SET, MATCH

Whether they were just volleying for fun, or actually taking it seriously ... Milan scored on Novak either way, at least a couple different times. Apparently, Novak approached Milan and asked her to hit with him ... which left the kid shocked and grateful on social media.

Mike was also thankful to Novak, giving him props on Twitter saying ... "@DjokerNole you are the realest. Thanks for hitting with my daughter #milantyson. You are her tennis idol."

Milan's proven herself as a budding tennis star ... this can only help her resume.

Salma Hayek You Can't 'Barbie' Frida Kahlo! And Where's Her Unibrow?

Published | Updated

Salma Hayek is just the latest person blasting Mattel for making a Barbie out of Mexican artist and women's rights icon Frida Kahlo -- asking what many already have ... how???

Salma called out the toy company Sunday over their newest Barbie release ... a dolled up Frida, who's missing her signature unibrow and other famous characteristics in plastic form.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The actress -- who was nominated for an Oscar playing Frida in 2002 -- seemed in shock over the decision to glamorize Frida, saying ... "#fridakahlo never tried to be or look like anyone else. She celebrated her uniqueness. How could they turn her into a Barbie."

Lots of folks are pissed Mattel created a Barbie in Frida's image -- some of her descendants have reportedly claimed Mattel never even obtained permission to use her name and likeness, but Mattel disputes that ... saying they got the go-ahead from the owner.

Either way, count Salma as one of those who isn't happy with this ... like, at all.

There's gonna be a run on high chairs for Thanksgiving.

O.J. Simpson Cuts to the Chase

Published | Updated

O.J. Simpson talked about the slow-speed Bronco chase as if it was a victory for him, because judging from public opinion on the streets -- literally -- all he saw was support.

Simpson told his story to Judith Regan years ago, and it's now the centerpiece of the FOX special based on the book, 'If I Did It.'

This clip is predictably gross ... Simpson, a supreme narcissist, allegedly was contemplating suicide, but when you hear him talk he was reveling in the show of support from people who somehow thought it was a good idea to cheer him on as he drove on the 405.

ON THE RUN

It's almost like he was taking a poll ... whether people were buying what the media had been telling them all week long -- with blood going from the bodies to his bathroom at Rockingham, and a cut finger that matched a knife wound -- he was guilty as hell.

The show airs tonight on FOX at 8 PM.

'Shark Tank' Star Daymond John I'd Cop Shkreli's Wu-Tang Album ... & Then Make You Buy It!

Published | Updated

One of the investors on "Shark Tank" says he'd shell out the dough to buy Martin Shkreli's rare Wu-Tang Clan album now that he's going to jail ... but there's a catch.

Our camera guy ran into Fubu founder Daymond John, who tells us he'd absolutely be willing to drop $2 million Wu-Tang album, "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" -- but wouldn't just sit on it like Shkreli did ... he'd make his money back by selling it to the public.

It's a smart business move -- the guy's on 'ST' after all -- but the record might not even be up for grabs in the long run. The feds say they'll seize Shkreli's property if he can't pay his victims restitution on the heels of a 7-year prison sentence in his securities fraud case.

One last thing ... you'll never guess which of the other 'Tank' investors are down with the Wu. It ain't who you might think.

Kendall & Kylie Jenner Eviction Notice a Huuuuuge Mistake Leasing Co. Says: Our Bad!!!

Published | Updated

Kendall and Kylie Jenner got an eviction notice because someone royally screwed up ... and now the leasing company's apologizing for the goof.

You might recall there were reports Kendall and Kylie's company got slapped with a notice at their NYC office ... claiming the sisters had fallen behind on rent to the tune of more than $57k and had 5 days to pay or get the hell out.

But, a rep for the leasing company tells TMZ ... it never should have happened. The company says, "There was a miscommunication due to a change in invoice procedures that led to this confusion. We apologize for any negative press the Kendall + Kylie brand has received."

The leasing company went on to say, "They have always been respectful and in good standing tenants."

Case closed.

Score 1 For Sally Son Sam Meets Adam Rippon!!!

Published | Updated

Sally Field is deliciously diabolical ... and her plan for her son to meet Adam Rippon worked!!!

Sally was trying to set her kid, Sam Greisman, up with the Olympian and after some back and forth on social media, the 2 mugged for the camera at the 2018 Human Rights Campaign Gala Dinner in L.A., where Adam received the Visibility Award.

Sam was not bashful about his mom's noble efforts, saying on social media Rippon was "insanely pretty." He added, "Honestly, if this past week has taught me anything it's that all my crushes better look out 'cuz my mommy is gonna put them on blast."

Mission accomplished ... at least they met.

I'M GETTIN' FIXED UP!

Terrell Owens went under the knife for a stem cell treatment to help repair his joints, tendons and ligaments ... and TMZ Sports was invited into the operating room for the procedure!!!

Break out your scalpel and your O.R. scrubs -- it's about to get ALL SURGICAL UP IN HERE!!!

Here's the deal ... Owens visited Dr. Raj from the Beverly Hills Orthopedic Institute for a treatment he essentially described as bone marrow-derived stem cell injections.

UNDER THE KNIFE

So, what does that all mean? He takes stem cells from the hip bone and injects them into damaged areas of the body.

"I'm utilizing regenerative cells to regenerate and repair joints, tendons, and ligaments," Raj tells us.

"It's minimally invasive. In T.O.'s case, he damaged himself from years and years of football. He had both knees, both shoulders, both elbows (triceps tendonitis) and right hip done."

Owens says the move isn't part of an NFL comeback -- he just wants to stay healthy and feeling good as he hits his mid-40s.

The video of the procedure is super interesting -- especially when the doc hammers the syringe into T.O.'s hip for the extraction!

How dope is medicine?!

'Stranger Things' Directors Apologize to Females on Set Sometimes Tempers get Frayed

Published | Updated

"Stranger Things" writers and directors Matt and Ross Duffer are speaking out about claims they verbally abused multiple women on the set.

The Duffer Bros issued a statement ... "We are deeply upset to learn that someone felt uncomfortable on our set. Due to the high-stress nature of production, tempers occasionally get frayed, and for that, we apologize."

The statement, which was posted on E!, included a caveat ... "However, we think it is important not to mischaracterize our set, where we believe strongly in treating everyone fairly regardless of gender, orientation, race, religion, or anything else."

Netflix, which carries the hit show investigated the complaints and found no wrongdoing on the part of the brothers.

The investigation was triggered by Peyton Brown, a former grip on the show, who targeted the Duffers, saying, "I will not be a part of the filming of Season 3 of Stranger Things. Why, you ask? Because I stand with my sisters."

SNL 'This is Us' ... Trump Style

Published | Updated

It's one of the most biting parodies of the Trump Administration so far by "SNL" ... a spoof of "This is Us" called "This is U.S." and it spares no one.

Sarah Hucakbee Sanders is probably fuming today over her character, but Ben Carson may actually be getting a chuckle over his Sterling K. Brown-type character. And who knew Pete Davidson actually resembled Jared Kushner and played him hilariously?

Check out t he last vestiges of Anthony Scaramucci, Hope Hicks and Sean Spicer ... again, hilarious.

"SNL" really went for the juggler this weekend ... doing a parody of "The Bachelor" but instead of Arie the main dude is Robert Mueller.

You gotta think as much as they hate Trump the cast and crew might be a little torn at the 2020 ballot box -- if Trump makes it that far -- because the show hasn't been this good in a long, long time.

'Black Ink Crew Chicago' Star Busted for Smoking Weed ... In High Style

THE ARREST

One of the stars of "Black Ink Crew Chicago" got cuffed with his whole crew after a cop pulled them over because smoke was billowing out of their limo van.

Phor was arrested in Gary, Indiana last week -- along with 6 others -- and is now facing criminal weed charges.

According to the police report, an officer pulled over Phor's Mercedes limo after he heard loud music and smelled pot. The driver told the cop they were heading to a club in Gary, about 25 miles from Chicago, and said ... "Look bro, I have a celebrity in the back."

Unfortunately for Phor's crew, the cop didn't care, because the driver allegedly didn't have ID or registration for the vehicle and it stunk like weed ... so they were all taken into custody for weed-related offenses.

For the record, Phor shared his feelings on the arrest, admitting it could have been a lot worse ... but says he's not looking forward to his court date in May.

'Love & Hip Hop' Benzino Cuts Althea a Break In Domestic Beating Case

Published | Updated

Ex-"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Althea Eaton won't be prosecuted for smacking her baby daddy, Benzino, upside his head, and she can partially thank Benzino himself for that.

TMZ broke the story ... Althea and Benzino had a domestic dispute a few weeks ago, and things got out of control when she whacked Benzino in front of cops. Althea was promptly arrested and booked for misdemeanor battery.

But, the City Attorney's Office tells TMZ ... the case was rejected because Benzino suffered no actual injuries. Other than, maybe ... his ego. More importantly, we're told Benzino didn't want to press charges.

And they lived happily ever after ... for now.
