Azealia Banks Claims She was 'Lowkey' Raped ... On Since-Deleted IG Posts

Published | Updated

Azealia Banks was breaking down and sobbing on her Instagram story Saturday night, claiming she'd been sexually assaulted ... and threatening to quit music over it.

In since-deleted Instagram videos posted to the NYC rapper's Story, Azealia can be heard crying over being "low key" raped by a man she claims pressured her into sex.

In the posts -- which were captured by a third party and posted online -- she starts off with a disclaimer saying she fells "like dirt." She also partially blames herself for the alleged rape, and goes on to threaten deleting her social media accounts until she's okay again.

Azealia was clearly affected by the incident -- the details of which are left ambiguous for now. She doesn't say where this happened, but presumably it occurred Saturday night. She also doesn't name the alleged perpetrator.

You never see her face ... only her voice, which at one point says someone "got the best of me." She eventually asks someone to come pick her up -- but the posts were later deleted off her account. She did, however, allude to roofies in later posts ... and added she was "good" from the night before and that her show on Sunday was still on.

It's unclear where she'll be performing tonight.

Victoria's Secret Angel Taylor Hill Carried Off Coachella Grounds ... Totally Out of It

Published | Updated

Victoria's Secret Angel Taylor Hill might have had a little too much fun for Day 2 of Coachella, 'cause she had to be carried out by a group of friends by the end of it.

We got the model Saturday heading into the Empire Polo Club for round two of the festivities, where she was trying to be incognito -- but appeared perked up and fully engaged with our camera guy ... making her love for Beyonce loud and clear.

Then we saw her again as she was leaving with the same group of friends -- only this time she was being held up as her head was hanging and she stumbled to the car.

It sounds like an ambulance was being considered briefly, but her pals ended up getting her into the car safely where she appeared to be conscious and okay.

Justin Bieber Punches Man Who Grabbed Woman by Throat ... At Coachella Party

Published | Updated

We're told the guy Bieber punched was NOT arrested. No one reported the choking incident.

Justin Bieber punched a guy in the face and threw him against a wall after the man grabbed a woman by the throat at a Coachella party, and would not release his grip on her ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us Justin and a friend showed up at a party Saturday being attended by Patrick Schwarzenegger. Justin was talking to some people when a guy walked in, spotted a woman ... and went ballistic. Sources at the party say he appeared to be on drugs -- and it looked as if the woman may have been his ex-GF.

We're told the guy suddenly grabbed the woman by the throat and would not release her. Justin and his friend started screaming at the guy to let her go, but he only screamed back "Go f*** yourself" ... maintaining his grip. At that point, Justin hit the man in the face and pushed him against the wall ... allowing the woman to break free.

We're told the guy was thrown out of the party and a short time later, was chasing an SUV ... apparently believing Justin was inside. He was screaming Justin's name as he began hitting the vehicle. We're told cops eventually came and arrested him.

The Weeknd at Coachella Another Year, Another Bieber Ex ... Eskimo Bros. Pt 2?

Published | Updated

The Weeknd appears to be swooping in on more of Justin Bieber's leftovers at Coachella -- this time getting cozy with Chantel Jeffries.

Abel was spotted Saturday night at Day 2 of the festival with his arm around Chantel, as they strolled around the closed-off VIP area ... drinks in hand, and all smiles. They were also seen hugging at one point, and she even leaned her head on his shoulder.

We've been down this road before -- as you might recall, Weeknd dated Selena Gomez for the better part of 2017, and they had themselves a PDA-filled Coachella last spring as well.

Old habits die hard for Abel, it seems. Hopefully Chantel calls out his name correctly if this transpires into anything more ... it can be confusing with all the swapping going on.

Gwyneth Paltrow Wedding Rehearsal(?) Brings Out Hollywood's Finest

Published | Updated

Do not doubt Gwyneth Paltrow's far reaching star power, 'cause she drummed up some the biggest names in Hollywood for what may have been practice for her forthcoming nuptials.

Tons of A-list actors and actresses poured out of the Los Angeles Theatre in Downtown L.A. Saturday night for an event many are calling Gwyneth's and her fiance Brad Falchuk's wedding rehearsal. They all got grilled, but no one copped to what was going on inside. Rehearsal dinner, engagement party? Nobody would say for sure.

Still, it was awesome seeing a lot of the most famous stars of the past two decades together in one building -- Reese Witherspoon, Steven Spielberg, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz, Rob Lowe, Jon Favreau, and more were spotted leaving Gwyneth's rumored run-through ... and they were all smiles. Bodes well for wedding day!

As we reported ... Gwyneth got engaged to be married again this past January, splashing the news on the front cover of her Goop issue that month.

This will be the second marriage for both Gwyneth and Brad. She was married to Chris Martin -- with whom she's well known for consciously uncoupling -- and started dating Brad before her divorce with Chris was finalized in 2016.

Beyonce Reunites with Destiny's Child ... For Coachella Day 2

Published | Updated

Beyonce pulled a fast one at Coachella, fooling even us ... 'cause she reunited with her old Destiny's Child crew for one HELLUVA performance this weekend.

Bey took the stage late Saturday night as the Day 2 headliner, and after an already kick-ass performance ... she eventually brought out Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a long overdue Destiny's Child reunion, contrary to what we'd been told in December.

Bey and co. started out with a few DC classics ... going from "Lose My Breath" to "Say My Name" and even belting out "Soldier" too. That wasn't the end of the cameos, though. Beyonce also brought out her hubby, Jay-Z, to cover their hit 2012 song "Deja Vu."

Her sister, Solange, also joined her on stage at one point to dance. Speaking of dancers, Beyonce's stage was flooded with them ... as we first told you, upwards of 100 or so. As if that wasn't historic enough, she also touched a milestone as the first black woman to headline the festival.

Needless to say, Beyonce certainly made up for lost time after missing Coachella last year. She even addressed her absence, saying ... "I had time to dream with two beautiful souls in my belly and this is everything and more I had in my dream, so thank you for sharing this with me."

Eminem's got some big shoes to fill tonight.

Scott Disick picked up the parent baton this weekend to let his baby mama, Kourtney Kardashian, have some fun at Coachella ... but he wasn't pulling daddy duty alone.

Scott was spotted chaperoning his and Kourtney's three kids Saturday in Malibu, with girlfriend Sofia Richie following close behind. They were all hitting up a toy store there while Kourtney, her beau and her sis, Kylie, got their party on for Day 1 & 2 of the festival.

Who says exes and their new boo thangs can't work it out?

Walmart Yodeling Kid Plays Nashville After Coachella ... Lives Out His 'Dream'

Published | Updated

The Walmart yodeling kid ain't done yodeling yet -- he went straight from Coachella this weekend to play another, and seemingly much more important, gig in Nashville.

Mason Ramsey performed Saturday night at the famous Grand Ole Opry, which has hosted the likes of country legends like Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Little Jimmy Dickens, and many, many more. The kid did his thing -- Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues."

Apparently, this was one of Mason's dreams -- as it would be for any aspiring country artist. The Grand Ole Opry is known as "the show that made country music famous," with weekly performances dating back to the 1920s. And if you're wondering ... Mason killed.

Can't say we're surprised by the outpouring of love he's getting right now. He's become a national sensation ever since his OG Walmart yodeling clip went viral ... which ended up getting him a slot at Day 1 of Coachella, and appeared to win over Justin Bieber.

Ben Stiller & Robert De Niro Cohen Meets the Special Counsel ... For SNL's Cold Open

Published | Updated

Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro did their best Michael Cohen and Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Saturday Night Live ... while also plugging their old comedy together.

Stiller played President Trump's embattled personal lawyer on SNL this weekend, and De Niro played Mueller ... who conducted a polygraph on the guy, just like their characters did in 2000's "Meet the Parents." The Byrnes and Focker jokes continued from there.

On a more seriously hilarious note, SNL threw haymakers at Cohen's predicament -- namely, getting raided by the FBI last week in relation to his $130,000 "hush money" payment to Stormy Daniels, among other things. They also went after Trump and his kids.

As long as there's an open Trump-related investigation(s) ... we're guessing SNL won't be running out of material anytime soon.

Khloe Kardashian My Baby's Ready To Be a Jet Setter

Published | Updated

Khloe Kardashian leads a busy lifestyle, so she's making sure her first child is equipped to be a baby-on-the-go as well ... TMZ has learned.

We're told in the week leading up to Khloe giving birth, she was stocking up on items for the baby, but panicked when she realized she was low on luggage and other travel items for her daughter.

Our sources say she loaded up with about 20 items from Bev Hills baby boutique Petit Tresor -- it's a fave stop for the Kardashians. We're told Khloe dropped just under $4,000 to get a BabyZen Yoyo Travel Stroller, a Medela Pump On-The-Go Station, and a Storksak Travel Diaper Bag ... to name a few gems off her list.

It's interesting -- at the time of her purchase, we're told Khloe was anticipating a lot of back and forth trips from L.A. to Cleveland to be with her boyfriend and baby daddy, Tristan Thompson.

Those plans may be changing now, but Khloe's baby girl will still be ready to see the world.

Cardi B at Coachella Booze for My Crew ... Sweet Smell of Success For Me

Published | Updated

When Cardi B performs the biggest show of her life at Coachella, her pregnancy won't make the scene backstage any less of a rager ... at least for her entourage.

We got a hold of Cardi's rider and it's stocked, at first glance, with several things a pregnant woman shouldn't be consuming ... but also several preggo-friendly options. Here are some highlights:

- 6 dozen white roses
- Degree spray deodorant
- Gillette razors
- Grilled/fried chicken
- Caesar salad
- Roasted vegetables
- 2 bottles of D'usse
- 2 bottles of Hennessy
- 1 Bottle of 1942 tequila
- 20 bottles of water
- Red Bull
- Fresh coffee

We're told Cardi, who is due the first week of July, will obviously not be indulging in the booze ... ditto for Red Bull and coffee. All that stuff is for her hard-working team.

The roses are 100 percent for the boss lady, though. Let's face it, Cardi's getting used to that sweet smell of success.

911 CALL

Cam Newton personally called 911 to ask for police assistance after his Ferrari was rear-ended by a utility truck ... and TMZ Sports has recording.

"I need the police," 28-year-old Newton told the emergency operator moments after the April 6 crash in Atlanta.

Newton is calm, collected and REALLY polite on the call while assuring the operator there were no major injuries suffered by either party in the wreck.

The Carolina Panthers quarterback (who referred to himself as "Cameron Newton") did hesitate before describing his own car to the operator ... a $300,00 matte black Ferrari F12.

Cops were dispatched the scene -- but Newton and the other driver ultimately decided to skip the police report and go their separate ways. No arrests, no reports, no problems.

Newton seemed completely healthy and happy just a few days later when he hosted a shopping spree for 17 young Special Olympics athletes from the area.

This wasn't Cam's first car accident -- he overturned his truck in North Carolina back in 2014. He was hospitalized with minor injuries but ended up making a full recovery.
