YOU KNOW THE ANSWER

It's been 36 years since Rocky fought Thunderlips ... but we had to ask Hulk Hogan who wins in an old man rematch?!

Hogan's still a workout fiend -- and his arms are still massive. But Sylvester Stallone ain't no punk -- his gym sessions are insane, too.

So, when we got a rejuvenated Hulk out at LAX -- probably feeling so awesome because it looks like he'll be back with the WWE soon -- we asked if he thought he could beat up Stallone.

Before you guys call us messy ... Hogan kinda brought it up, barking at an autograph seeker who asked him to sign a pic of Stallone choking him from "Rocky III."

Check out Hogan's answer ... Hogan strongly suggested we should put our money on the man with the 24-inch pythons.

Ryan Seacrest Have Hot Chick, Will Travel ... Pay Doesn't Suck Either

Published | Updated

Ryan Seacrest's grueling "American Idol" commute ain't looking all that rough -- considering he gets to make out with his hottie gf, before AND after going wheels up.

Ryan and Shayna Taylor were out shopping and grubbing over in Venice, CA ... the day after they jetted from NYC to LA for his little $10 million weekend gig. They did lunch inside Gjelina, and did PDA outside the hot spot.

Now that all the 'Idol' episodes are live, Ryan has to make this cross-country trek every weekend. Soon as 'Idol' ends Sunday nights ... the couple hops back on a jet plane -- private, of course -- to be back in NYC for 'Live' and his radio show.

Looks like they've got a great cure for jet lag.

Megan Fox Washed Over Laundry Day

Published | Updated

Megan Fox is just like the rest of us ... ditching style for comfort on laundry day.

Megan was out in Louisiana on Sunday running errands that included a pit stop at Walmart to grab some laundry detergent. What's she doing in the Bayou state, ya might ask ... she's there filming "Think Like A Dog" with Josh Duhamel. Gumbo and Josh? Tasty.

The 'Transformers' star looked down to earth in yoga pants, a t-shirt, furry slippers and a pink Herschel backpack. Serious question, though ... couldn't she get a PA to run that errand?

Dr. Dre Loses Name Game with OB/GYN

Published | Updated

Dr. Dre is STILL Dre, but same goes for the OB/GYN with a very similar name who was locked in a legal battle for years with the music mogul.

Dr. Drai, a Pennsylvania-based gynecologist filed in 2015 to trademark his name and “Doctor Drai OBGYN & Media Personality." Dr. Dre tried to pump the brakes on that application, claiming it would cause confusion in the marketplace ... since their names sound alike.

The gyno was born Draion M. Burch, but according to his application he's been going by Dr. Drai for years. He's authored books and makes public appearances using it.

The trademark office agreed with the medical doc, saying although the gangsta doc was well known ... there wasn't enough evidence people would be confused. Let's be honest ... no one's downloading "The Chronic" from a gyno. Although, sounds like there should be a shot for that.

Point being ... the case was dismissed.

NFL's Chris Long John Lennon Was a Bad Guy ... Abused Women

Published | Updated

John Lennon was not a saint. In fact, The Beatles legend is a "bad guy" ... so says NFL star Chris Long.

Long was responding to a Twitter challenge where he was supposed to state a "controversial yet unproblematic opinion" ... and he wrote, "John Lennon was a bad guy."

The Philadelphia Eagles stud doubled down in all caps -- "JOHN LENNON WAS A BAD GUY AND IF THIS MAKES YOU MAD UNFOLLOW ME."

When asked why he felt this way, Long responded, "It’s easier for me because I don’t care for the Beatles. I don’t feel a need to cape for an abuser."

Long is clearly referring to Lennon's admission that he physically abused women -- something he touched on during a 1980 Playboy interview.

"All that 'I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved' was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically -- any woman."

"I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace."

"Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am not violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster."

In fact, his first wife, Cynthia, wrote a book and said Lennon once slapped her in the face.

When somebody tried to challenge Long and say, "People aren't just good or bad" -- he shot back, "Shut the f*ck up."

Tekashi69 I Stay Winning ... My Feature on 'Ye's Album Proves It!

MADE THE CUT

Tekashi69 is either trolling us, or he's suddenly climbed a few rungs on the hip-hop ladder ... 'cause he says he made it on Kanye West's new album.

We got 6ix9ine Sunday at LAX -- without incident this time -- where he was telling our camera guy why he was the biggest success story in rap, claiming he's won every battle he's been in (literally and metaphorically, we're guessing) ... and that he's never taken an L.

Big wigs at Barclays Center and TUNES Audio might claim otherwise for one reason or another -- but Tekashi's got the ultimate proof (allegedly) ... he says he's on 'Ye's forthcoming studio album, which is set to drop later this month.

You'll recall ... Tekashi said he was on his way to see 'Ye late last week, and if that was true ... it's possible he laid down a track with him right then and there. Kanye did exactly that with T.I. not too long ago during a visit, so it's certainly not out of the question.

It's that ... or Tekashi's BS'ing. We're split ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meek Mill Signs 'Free Meek' Jersey ... Updates Status

Published | Updated

Meek Mill is well beyond prison walls now, and any merch signaling otherwise oughta be corrected to reflect his current sitch -- according to Meek himself, who did just that for a fan.

Philly fan Zack Rothenberg spotted Meek sitting in his SUV Saturday after the 76ers game against Boston, and approached the car by foot (in the middle of traffic, mind you) for an autograph on his custom Eagles jersey ... which reads "Free Meek" on the back.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Meek happily obliged, but rather than his usual John Hancock, he signed the jersey with "Meek Free!" We're told the rapper liked it so much, he took a photo of the jersey himself. He doesn't appear to have posted it yet, however.

As we've reported ... Meek's been the toast of the town in Philly since being released from prison a couple weeks ago. He was choppered to the Wells Fargo Center to catch Game 5 of the Heat series, and was allowed to ring the ceremonial bell before tip-off.

Despite Meek saying he doesn't truly feel free even on the outside, he's apparently free enough to put it down in Sharpie ... for now, anyway.

Ken Jeong Helps Woman Who Suffered Seizure ... During His Stand-Up Set

Published | Updated

Ken Jeong often plays a doctor on TV, but his real-life medical training helped out tremendously when a woman suffered a seizure during his live show ... TMZ has learned.

Ken was doing a comedy set at Stand Up Live Saturday night in Phoenix, where a lady began seizing in the third row toward the beginning of the show. Eyewitnesses tell us Ken appeared to think it was a heckler, but the audience quickly made it clear she needed help.

As soon as he realized what was happening, we're told Ken hopped off the stage and rushed to the woman's aid. Sources say he cleared the area and attended to her while paramedics arrived. An audience member who was also an EMT assisted as well. Oh, and in case you didn't know ... Ken actually obtained his M.D. back in the '90s. So, he's legit.

Ken stayed with the woman until an ambulance arrived -- we're told at some point she regained consciousness while under his care and was brought back to her feet. She was eventually taken to a hospital, and Ken resumed the show. We're told he quickly addressed the situation, saying he was happy to be able to help ... and got a round of applause.

Paging "Dr. Ken" never sounded more serious.

2OTH TIME'S A CHARM

Danielle Staub tied the knot Saturday in the Bahamas ... and gotta say, it looks pretty nice.

Staub married Marty Caffrey at the Luna Beach Club in Bimini. The 55-year-old "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star chose some of her fellow housewives as bridesmaids -- Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Margaret Joseph. Her 2 daughters - Christine and Jillian -- were also bridesmaids.

They chowed down and danced afterward at the nearby Hilton hotel rooftop bar.

Not surprising ... cameras from "Real Housewives of New Jersey" were front and center capturing it all.

Staub and Caffrey have been dating since April, 2016 and they already live together. She's been married twice and he's walked down the isle before as well.

Danielle might get in the Guinness Book of World Records -- she's been engaged 20 times ... seriously.

Khloe Kardashian In Case You Needed More Proof ... I'm Still With Tristan!!!

Published | Updated

Khloe Kardashian has gone public in her support for baby daddy Tristan Thompson ... cheering him on Saturday night as the Cavaliers squeaked past the Raptors by a score of 105 to 103.

Khloe showed up at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland -- escorted by security -- in what is almost certainly a showing that she and Tristan are together ... despite the cheating scandal that rocked her as their baby was being born.

TMZ got this photo of Khloe and Tristan having lunch Friday with some friends in Cleveland. Although it's telling they were together, there was a chance it was for baby True, but the fact she showed up for Tristan's playoff game leaves little doubt ... they're still together.

AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT

Stevie Wonder doesn't have time to waste thinking over Kanye West's ridiculous views on slavery -- ditto for President Trump's proposed race summit, actually.

We got Stevie Saturday at LAX and asked what he thought of 'Ye's controversial comment -- ya know, that slavery must've been a choice black people made after a certain point.

You can tell the he's not having it with Kanye's POV -- he even says as much by calling it "foolishness" ... adding that if you know your history, you don't listen to such BS.

We also ask Stevie if he'd attend a Trump-hosted meeting at the White House to discuss racial issues. If there's a faster way to say HELL NO than this ... we haven't seen it yet.

'SNL' Monstrously Spoofs Kanye With 'A Quiet Place' Parody

Published | Updated

Kanye West not only got people talking with his tweets, he got them screaming so loud the monsters ate them.

'SNL' did a hilarious spoof on "A Quiet Place," where Donald Glover and cast members were in a jungle, trying to stay all hush hush so the monsters couldn't hear them. But when Glover started reading Kanye's tweets about supporting Donald Trump, it proved way too much for silence.

The mere mention of Chrissy Teigen and her awesome recipes was killer, too.

And then there's "Lift Yourself" ... who can stay tight lipped when you heard "poopity scoop"?

Of course, Kanye's "TMZ Live" appearance was showcased with his back to the cam and all ... all and all it was a monster of a skit.

Kylie Jenner I'm Havin' Wang Fun ... In the Big Apple

Published | Updated

Kylie Jenner isn't letting a little thing like motherhood cramp her style, 'cause Saturday night she hit the Big Apple in a big way.

Kylie was leaving The Mercer Hotel decked out in Alexander Wang ... lookin' motorcycle ready.  She's in town for The Met Gala Monday night.

No sign of Stormi or baby daddy Travis Scott.  They were all in Turks and Caicos celebrating Travis' 26th birthday and Stormi's 3 months BD.

Wang should pay her for this kind of advertising, right?

'Family Feud' Contestant Kill the Ex-Wife ... Who Says You Have a Teeny-Weeny

Published | Updated

Ever see something that was hysterical and super troubling at the same time?

Steve Harvey posed this question to the folks on "Family Feud" ... What would you do to an ex-wife who said you had a teeny-weeny?

The answers were all whack, much deserving of a giant X. But then Max chimed in with an answer rivaling the likes of Lorena Bobbitt.

When you watch it, you realize the politically correct thing to do is show scorn and ridicule. So the question ... after you watch it, you gotta wonder -- why the hell did you laugh so hard?

Final thing ... in case you're wondering why the contestant who guessed "divorce" as an answer struck out ... the question was about an ex-wife.

Lady Antebellum Oh Say Can You See ... Us Screw Up the National Anthem

Published | Updated

Lady Antebellum learned a hard lesson Saturday night ... the National Anthem is impossible to sing.

Charles Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood were front and center at the playoff game between the Nashville Predators and Winnipeg Jets at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, when they sang the song famously messed up by so many.

They did not disappoint. Each sings a different verse during the pesky part of the tune, and the players try hard -- though don't succeed -- not to crack up.

Relax guys ... it's a badge of honor.
