David Ogden Stiers 'M*A*S*H' Star's Will Leaves Over $300k to Charity!!!
The man best known for playing surgeon Major Charles Winchester on "M*A*S*H" wanted to help people in the real world too ... or so it seems, based on his will.
David Ogden Stiers -- who died in March after a battle with bladder cancer -- left hundreds of thousands of his fortune behind to various charities ... and also donated valuable collections to his local library and symphony orchestra in Newport, Oregon.
According to the docs ... Stiers earmarked $50k each to 5 different charity organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, My Sister's Place and Newport's Children's Advocacy Center.
He also left all his CDs and DVDs behind to the Newport Library, donating his vinyls, artwork and wine collection to the Newport Symphony Orchestra ... and gave another $50k to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore to establish a scholarship program for someone planning a political career.
As for some of Stiers' more flashy gifts ... the Newport Symphony music director gets his Tesla Model X, and his Oregon home is left to the man he named his conservator -- Jeremy Robinson.
RIP

LaDainian Tomlinson Antonio Gates Can Still Play ... But, He Shouldn't!
Antonio Gates is getting some career advice from his friend and former teammate LaDainian Tomlinson -- hang it up.
After 15 seasons with the Chargers, the team has cut ties with the 37-year-old tight end -- and he still hasn't been picked up by another squad.
So, when we saw LT -- who played 7 seasons with Gates in San Diego -- we asked if he thinks it's time for #85 to ride off into the sunset.
"I think he should retire a Charger," Tomlinson said ... "I definitely think he still can play, though."
"[Gates] became known as one of the greatest Chargers ever. I would hate to see him put on another uniform. It just doesn't seem right."
Interesting advice coming from Tomlinson, who played his final 2 seasons with the NY Jets after a legendary 9-year run with the Bolts.
Maybe he's speaking from experience ...

According to new docs, Mary's still not divorced from her current husband, and she's officially asking the judge to sign off ASAP. She says her wedding date's July 7, but that's gonna be problematic if the expedited divorce hearing doesn't go her way.
As for her wedding plans, we got the former Cali gubernatorial candidate last week at LAX and asked her for some deets. She says it's a destination wedding in Cuba, but before that ... she has a couple strip club appearances to make.
Once she's hitched, though ... Mary says she's only stripping for her man, and she's tightening up her game too. Yes, she told us about the surgery she's having to make their wedding night more pleasurable.
She's a woman of her word. Right after filing for divorce in 2016, Mary told us she was on the hunt for her future husband. Two-year turnaround? Not too shabby.

3:00 PM PT -- We're told LAPD investigated after the woman's report, but could not determine if the sex was consensual or forced.
Chris Brown was just sued by a woman who claims she was raped at his house by one of his friends, and forced to perform oral on another woman who was menstruating.
The alleged victim is suing as a Jane Doe, and claims she was invited to a party at CB's house in February 2017 where he supplied cocaine, molly and weed ... during what sounds like a scene from "Caligula."
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Doe says an unnamed female friend of Chris' forced her and a few other women into a bedroom, and blocked the door with a couch. She says her phone had been taken away earlier in the night, and Brown's friend forced women to hook up with Chris and another man, named Lowell Grissom.
Doe, who's hired Gloria Allred, says she tried to leave, but Chris' female friend grabbed her by the throat and forced her to perform oral sex on Grissom. Doe says the female friend then pushed her down on the bed and "literally sat on [her] face, using her legs to pin [her] down while forcing [her] to perform oral sex on her."
To make matters worse, Doe says the woman was menstruating. Doe says she went to the restroom and saw her face covered in blood. She says while she was showering, Grissom entered the restroom and she tried to leave, but he pushed her on the bed and raped her.
During a news conference Wednesday, Allred said this was "one of the most horrific sexual assault cases" she has ever seen.
According to the suit, Grissom later held her against a washing machine, and raped her again. She says she went to a rape treatment center and reported it to police.
We've reached out to Brown's reps, as well as Grissom ... no word back yet.

Detail, a producer who has worked with the likes of Drake, Wiz Khalifa, Beyonce and Jay-Z allegedly physically and sexually abused 2 up-and-coming female artists ... according to legal docs they just filed.
One of the women is a singer named Kristina Buch, and she claims Detail raped her back in February after a recording session in Miami. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, he forced her to have sex with him in front of others.
Kristina claims he got violent last week while they were at the Malibu Beach Inn. In the docs, she says he forcibly grabbed her by the hair, hit and choked her. Kristina claims he bit her lip during the tirade ... and she was left with bruises on her arms, head, back and legs.
A second artist, named Peyton Ackley, accuses Detail of essentially making her and Kristina his sex slaves. Peyton says she considered Detail a mentor in the industry, but he'd told her the biz was all about sex.
According to the docs, Detail walked in on Peyton taking a bath and forced her to have sex with him in front of another producer. She also claims he forced her to take nude photos while he masturbated -- and also forced her to record him having sex with Kristina. In March, she says he got violent and slammed her head into a wall and dragged her up a flight of stairs.
Both women requested restraining orders, which a judge granted. Detail must now stay 100 yards from both of them, as well as Kristina's sister.

Reps. Steve Scalise & Hakeem Jeffries North Korea Releasing Hostages ... Big Win for USA
Congressmen Steve Scalise and Hakeem Jeffries might be on different sides of the aisle, but they both agree -- it's a good deal when North Korea gives us what we want.
Both Representatives were on Capitol Hill Wednesday, when we asked if President Trump deserves props for Kim Jong-un releasing 3 American hostages. House Majority Whip Scalise naturally heaped praise on the Prez for standing up to one brutal dictator, and sending a message to all U.S. enemies.
Meanwhile, Jeffries, a Democrat, also gushed about the news, but was much less willing to shout out POTUS. Ultimately, he did acknowledge Trump -- although, he refused to give him top billing.

John McEnroe Trump Offered Me $1 Mil ... to Play Against Serena
John McEnroe says Donald Trump offered him $1,000,000 to play a tennis match against Serena or Venus Williams ... but he shot it down.
"I was calling a match and suddenly I get this envelope and it's from Donald Trump," McEnroe said on "In Depth with Graham Bensinger."
McEnroe didn't specify WHEN Trump sent the envelope -- only noting it was before he became President.
So, why'd John turn it down?
"It's never been something where I was like ... I wanna go play a woman in a match."
You gotta watch the clip ... John is pretty confident he'd win -- reminding everyone he was once the #1 player in the world.
Still, his own kids aren't convinced he'd beat Serena, which begs one question -- IS IT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND?!?!

Daz Dillinger Cops Say Crips Threat Was Empty

EXCLUSIVE

First, Kanye West was in the clear, and now Daz Dillinger's good to go too ... because cops don't think his call to have Crips attack Ye was serious at all.
As we first reported, the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. was looking into the video Daz posted last week, putting a green light on Kanye. There was a chance he could have faced criminal charges for threats.
Law enforcement sources tell us Daz has nothing to worry about. Investigators checked out the clip, and quickly determined the investigation was going nowhere. One source referred to Daz's video as idle "bar room talk," and hardly a serious threat.
We're guessing the Crips would agree with that assessment because, as we told you ... the so-called threat's been lifted.

Kylie Jenner My Bodyguard Isn't My Baby Daddy!!!
Kylie Jenner is blowing off reports that her former bodyguard, and not Travis Scott, is baby Stormi's dad ... because she says the stories are BS.
A social media storm started this week ... noting similarities between Stormi and Tim Chung. People have been focusing on eyes, nose and skin tone ... noting what they say are uncanny similarities.
Our Kylie sources say the rumor is just that, a rumor with no basis in fact. Our Kylie sources say it's humanly impossible for Chung to be the dad because he never had sex with Kylie.
It's not the first time Stormi's paternity has been called into question ... shortly after her birth, stories surfaced claiming Kylie's former bf, Tyga, believed he was the baby's father.
Tyga quickly shut down those reports, saying, "I’ve never said anything about someone else’s child or family insinuating my involvement; and will never do so. Please, Stop spreading false stories and attacking people’s families."

Reza from 'Shahs of Sunset' Trump Got Iranian Deal Right F-U, Ayatollah!!!
Reza Farahan from "Shahs of Sunset" not only agrees with President Trump's decision to pull out of the Iranian nuclear deal ... he wishes death to the Iranian dictator and his family.
We got Reza out in L.A. Tuesday and he made it clear ... he's not a Trump fan, but he passionately supports withdrawing from the deal and imposing strong sanctions on Iran. He clearly thinks it's the only way the people will rise up and overthrow what Reza believes is evil at the top.
Reza got in hot water last year when he lashed out on his show, saying, "F*** Iran." He was forced to issue an apology. This time he's not tearing into the country but rather its leaders.
Reza was born in Iran, but eventually made his way to the Hills of Beverly.
