Kylie & Travis Grabbing the Goods ... If the Shoe Fits

Published | Updated

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott went shoe shopping in NYC the day after the Met Gala, and it was a very hands-on experience for him ... just ask Kylie's ass.

The couple hit up Stadium Goods, which sells rare sneakers, and they couldn't keep their paws off each other, especially Travis ... who got a solid hold of Kylie's rear during the PDA sesh. KJ opted for the more traditional hugs and kisses.

They attended the Gala together Monday night hand-in-hand, and have been pretty much inseparable since their daughter, Stormi, was born.

BTW ... Travis turned 26 was last week, with mama and baby coming along for the ride. Looks like he's still enjoying a healthy serving of cake. Gotta love leftovers!

Ex-Top L.A. County D.A. Official Allegedly Wanted to 'Jack Off' While Underling Was Strangled .... And Never Punished

Published | Updated

The former head prosecutor of the Major Crimes Division for the L.A. County D.A. -- who once allegedly said he wanted to jack off on a colleague while she strangles to death -- received virtually no punishment for the sexual misconduct allegations which resulted in a high 6-figure settlement with the women who sued him ... and he got to retire with a full pension.

How's that feel, Eric Schneiderman?

Gary Hearnsberger was the Head Deputy of the MCD when he was sued in 2015 by 2 female lawyers who worked under him for unwanted physical touching, offensive and graphic sexual comments and sexually suggestive gestures.

According to legal docs ... Hearnsberger frequently commented about their sex life, asking one after she returned from vacation, "Is your p***y sore?" He also allegedly made gestures to the women mimicking oral sex, and was quoted as saying ... "You know what a sign of a good boss is? One who will f*** the people that work for him and still not give them any good cases."

He allegedly reached under the skirt of one of the women suing at a work-related event and grabbed her crotch, and he rubbed the butt of the other woman at another work event and said ... "You know you like it."

According to the suit ... Hearnsberger also remarked about current L.A. judge Deborah Brazil -- who was a Deputy D.A. at the time -- that he'd like to "string her up and jack off on her while she strangles to death."

There's more -- in July 2012, according to the docs, Hearnsberger showed up at a work "Hillybilly Party" with other lawyers from the Hardcore Gang Division, dressed only in denim overalls with a stuffed sheep attached to his crotch, as if he was sodomizing the animal.

Despite the serious allegations against him, Hearnsberger was transferred to run the D.A.'s Public Integrity Division. He was eventually put on administrative leave drawing his full salary and resigned only after one of the women suing demanded he leave the office as a condition to settlement. The county settled with the women for $700k and the county also paid Hearnsberger's legal bills.

We're told the D.A. never launched a criminal investigation.

We reached out to Hearnsberger but he did not respond -- however, he has said in the past the allegations are untrue. The D.A. Office tells us they will not comment on on personnel matters.

Now, compare this to what happened to N.Y. Attorney General Eric Schneiderman Monday -- who abruptly resigned after claims of violence surfaced from 4 women he used to date ... and he is already under criminal investigation.

Justin Theroux My Neighbor's Bullying Again ... Make Him Stop!!!

Published | Updated

Justin Theroux's neighbor is trying to strong-arm neighbors caught in the middle of their property war ... according to Justin, who says it's gotten so scary he needs court-ordered protection.

Theroux claims Norman Resnicow is flying into angry, violent tirades with other residents in their building, because he's trying to scare them into not testifying on Theroux's behalf.

According to the docs ... Resnicow's repeated verbal assaults are working, he's made them reluctant to testify in the heated feud over renovations at Justin's crib. JT says one resident told him Resnicow's behavior has "reached a very dangerous level for everyone in the building."

Theroux also accuses Resnicow of trespassing on his property in order to harass workers and take measurements to help his case. In the docs, he says his neighbor invited a "disreputable tabloid" into their building in an attempt to publicly embarrass him.

The actor's asking the court for a restraining order to keep Resnicow from harassing, intimidating or threatening anyone who has or may testify on Theroux's behalf, and to stop using abusive language in emails as well.

We reached out to Resnicow ... no word back yet.

Colton Haynes Files for Divorce From Jeff Leatham

Published | Updated

3:35 PM PT -- TMZ has obtained Colton's divorce docs, which don't list his and Jeff's date of separation for now ... but do cite irreconcilable differences. He's asking a judge to terminate spousal support for both of them. He also signals each will pay his own attorney's fees.

Colton Haynes and Jeff Leatham are officially headed to splitsville, and it's clear who pulled the plug on the relationship -- because Colton's filed for divorce.

The "Teen Wolf" star filed docs Tuesday in Los Angeles just 6 months after he married Jeff last October in a star-studded wedding in Palm Springs officiated by Kris Jenner.

TMZ broke the story ... Colton and Jeff broke up just last week. Colton later tweeted, "Jeff would never cheat. He is an amazing man. Please stop being mean to him."

It was a stunning move following Jeff's extravagant proposal in Cabo that included help from Cher. As we reported ... Jeff proposed in March 2017 and, just 4 days after their engagement, they were already talking about kids.

R. Kelly Alleged Sex Slave On Vacation ... Without R. Kelly!

Published | Updated

Joycelyn Savage, one of R. Kelly's alleged brainwashed sex slaves, is looking a lot more free ... while getting some R&R ... way cross country from R. Kelly.

We got Joycelyn coming out of South Beverly Grill in Bev Hills where she told us she was in L.A. on vacation. R. Kelly is still back in Chicago, where we saw them shopping several days ago.

Joycelyn's family has gone public claiming R. Kelly's been holding her and others captive as part of an alleged sex cult, but Joycelyn pointed out the obvious ... if that were the case, she wouldn't be flying solo in Cali. She's out here visiting a friend, who's standing next to her in this video.

Joycelyn gave us her 2 cents about the most recent woman to come forward and accuse R. Kelly of giving her an STD.

THE BEATDOWN

The guy who got stomped by Cardi B's entourage was literally asking for it ... and it's all on video.

The clip starts with Cardi walking out of The Mark Hotel Monday night in NYC, and you hear the guy chirping about getting an autograph. She didn't stop. Then Offset walked out, and the autograph hound started in on him. Offset fired back, "Shut up, bro, before a n***a beat you out here."

That amped things up, and the autograph seeker shouted, "Please beat me up! Be a fool, man." Entourage members took him up on that offer -- at first you just see 2 men punching the hell out of him ... then others joined the beatdown. Offset was not one of the attackers.

The autograph seeker's motives seem pretty obvious. He also yelled, "I'll take all your money" to the security guards.

Yes, that's a lawsuit you smell cooking. And we're sure these photos of his alleged injuries are gonna make it in there, too.

Roman Polanski's Attorney Rips The Academy Lemme Fight My Case!!!

Published | Updated

Roman Polanski got a heavy dose of injustice when The Academy blatantly disregarded its own rules to give him the boot ... so says his attorney.

Harland W. Braun fired off a

to The Academy -- obtained by TMZ -- outlining why The Academy wronged the director by expelling him, along with disgraced comedian Bill Cosby, without letting him present his case.

As we reported ... the The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Governors voted to expel him a week after Cosby was found guilty of sexual assault and is facing up to 30 years in prison.

Braun doesn't take issue with the expulsion itself, but rather The Academy going around its own bylaws for how a member can be booted. Bottom line ... Polanski never got his due process.

Polansky, of course, remains a fugitive from justice in Europe for raping a 13-year-old girl 40 years ago in the U.S.

Post Malone Joins Band's Show in Nashville ... And That's All Right!!!

Published | Updated

Post Malone was feeling the honky-tonk vibes in Nashville ... so much so he hopped onstage and busted out some old-school Elvis for the crowd!

The rapper hit up Tootsie's Orchid Lounge Monday night with a few friends and security guards, and joined the band for a short surprise set ... according to patrons at the bar. We're told Posty did a few covers, but most notably rocked Presley's 1954 hit, "That's All Right."

Check out the vid -- seems like someone in the crowd got a little too fired up from Malone's gig and almost got kicked out of the place.

But, it ended up being all right ... mama.

Johnny Manziel Hospitalized In Texas Over Rx Meds

Published | Updated

11:19 AM PT -- Manziel addressed the incident on social media, saying ... "Thank you everyone for your concern and kind messages. Unfortunately I had a reaction to an increased dosage in Lithium which I take for my Bipolar disorder."

"It was a scary moment and I'm especially grateful for the staff at the hospital and all that they've done in the last 24 hours."

Johnny Manziel was hospitalized Monday night in Texas, TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources connected to the QB tell us ... he was admitted to a hospital in Humble, TX on Monday. He had been in the area to attend the JMBLYA concert with friends after playing in a golf tournament hosted by friend and former Texas A&M teammate Mike Evans.

Manziel's rep, Denise Michaels, tells us ... "It seems like he had a reaction to an adjustment in his prescription. He’s fine and headed home."

Back in February, Manziel appeared on "Good Morning America" and revealed that he suffers from bipolar disorder.

Unclear if the medication that landed him in the hospital is connected to that diagnosis.

The 25-year-old has been working on an NFL comeback over the last several months -- and according to NFL insiders, he's been doing well ... impressing scouts and team execs during workouts and Spring League games.

FOREVER A MONSTER

Nancy Grace is heated about Scott Peterson, who she believes has NO shot at rehabilitation ... but she says granting him a new trial would be a travesty of justice.

We got the famed legal analyst Tuesday in Atlanta, and talked to her about Peterson's current appeal ... which could give him a slim shot at freedom. So, we asked Nancy the big 'if' ... as in, IF Scott were released after 13 years in prison -- could he be a reformed criminal?

We barely got the question out before Nancy started going off.

She also thinks Peterson doesn't really give a crap about his appeal, because he's living the high life in San Quentin State Prison.

Nancy had more to say about the chance of his appeal going through, and made a pretty deft pivot to plug her A&E show with Dan Abrams ... "Grace vs. Abrams." They're tackling the Peterson case on Tuesday night's episode.

She fired one more heater when we asked if she'd ever be a defense attorney ... for someone like Peterson. Spoiler alert: It's a big fat NO, but ya gotta see it in Nancy's words.

Melania Trump My 'Be Best' Pamphlet Is Not Another Obama Rip-off!!!

Published | Updated

Melania Trump is being accused of plagiarizing material from the Obama administration, but the First Lady is firing back ... saying it's not what it seems.

Melania launched her "Be Best" initiative -- promoting online safety for kids -- Monday at the White House, but she's catching heat because the pamphlet attached to her campaign is a nearly exact copy of a pamphlet published in 2014 ... while Michelle and Barack Obama were in the White House.

The pamphlet's cover, text and images under the Obama era are almost exactly the same as Melania's version. The text inside the pamphlets are the same.

Melania's office responded to the backlash and told us, "Mrs. Trump agreed to add Be Best branding and distribute the booklet in an effort to use her platform to amplify the positive message within." Her office went on to say the Federal Trade Commission, which originally authored the pamphlet, was excited Melania included it in her campaign.

The White House website initially said the material was written "by First Lady Melania Trump and the Federal Trade Commission." After the backlash, it's been changed to "a Federal Trade Commission booklet, promoted by First Lady Melania Trump."

Melania was also accused of plagiarism when her 2016 RNC speech was lifted almost word for word from a Michelle Obama DNC speech.

Calvin Harris Bad Car Crash in Bev Hills ... GF Plows into Honda

Published | Updated

2:14 PM PT -- A source close to Calvin is disputing how the accident went down ... telling us the Honda was pulled over at the side of the road and appeared to be stopped. Our source says without warning, the Honda pulled into the lane Calvin was traveling in and struck the Range Rover -- leaving no question that it was the other vehicle's fault.

Calvin Harris and his girlfriend, Aarika Wolf, slammed into another car this weekend, leaving a couple of young ladies injured.

Eyewitnesses tell us Calvin's girlfriend, Aarika, was behind the wheel of a Range Rover on a residential street Sunday in Bev Hills ... behind a Honda with 2 girls in it. The Honda driver started to turn left into a driveway. We're told Calvin's gf didn't slow down and plowed into the left side of the car, making it spin out and setting off the airbags. The cars ended up facing each other.

Cops were called and insurance information was exchanged. We're told the Honda passengers complained neither Calvin nor Aarika asked if they were okay.

The famous couple was invited into a nearby neighbor's home as they waited for their ride -- an SUV eventually came by to pick them up. Both cars in the wreck ended up getting towed ... and we're told the two girls are now experiencing pain, and plan on filing a police report.

BTW ... this ain't Calvin's first car crash in L.A. He got into a nasty accident a couple years ago near Coldwater Canyon, which sent him to the hospital.

2018 Met Gala After the Mass ... It's RiRi's After-Party!

Published | Updated

Hollywood took a second crack at high fashion after the 2018 Met Gala -- only this time they ditched the Catholic wear ... and opted for stuff that might make Jesus blush.

Tons of celebs hit up NYC's Up&Down nightclub Monday night for Rihanna's Met Gala after-party, and a lot of them changed out of their crowns, wings and lengthy gowns into more traditional clubbing getups.

While their earlier outfits were fine and dandy ... nothing beats classic partying gear, if you ask us. Some of the stars who showed up included Kim K, Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Pharrell, Mary J. Blige, Cassie, Diddy, Blake Lively, Justin Theroux, Paris Jackson and lots more.

Some A-listers stuck to their earlier digs, like Donald Glover. Can't blame him, though -- the dude looked great in that purple tux.

Different strokes ...

Paris Jackson was hounded for an autograph before the Met Gala by the same guy who got beat down after pestering Cardi B to sign for him.

We got Paris leaving the Carlyle Hotel in NYC and you can see the brush-off is quick -- she strolled to her car with the fan at the ready for her signature, but to no avail. He then blurts out "Stay black," and Paris raises her fist and enters a waiting SUV.

Our camera guy, who shot Paris around 1 AM, was outside the Mark Hotel about 90 minutes later when he saw the same autograph seeker getting loaded into an ambulance.

We're told cops think the victim has a history of harassing celebs, and Cardi B's team might have been aware of that before the violent encounter went down.

Khloe Kardashian Family Won't Pressure Her to Split from Tristan

Published | Updated

Khloe Kardashian's family is not happy she's getting back with Tristan Thompson -- and that's a major understatement -- but they're not going to lobby her to kick his ass to the curb.

TMZ broke the story ... Khloe was spotted with TT at a Cleveland restaurant Friday having lunch with friends and then showed up at the Cavaliers' game Saturday to support her baby daddy.

Our Kardashian sources say Khloe's family is outraged he humiliated and betrayed her right before she gave birth to their daughter. We're told they WISH she'd remain civil with him for the sake of their daughter, but move on. That said, they have enormous respect for Khloe and think she's capable of making decisions for herself.

We're told the family is somewhat surprised by the turn of events, because not long ago it looked like she was done with Tristan ... and the family was down with that decision. She was staying in Cleveland because Tristan was on the road and the baby wasn't able to fly.

And this is interesting ... we're told the family privately feels they may never forgive Tristan, but they're not going to attempt to torpedo the relationship.

Thanksgiving should be interesting.
