Shaq Selling Massive 'Shaq-apulco' Estate ... For $28 mil
CAN YOU DIG IT?!?!?!
Shaquille O'Neal is ready to move out of his incredible 3-acre Orlando mega-mansion ... and it could all be yours if you've got $28 MILLION floating around.
Shaq's pad is famous and awesome ... 31,000 square feet with 12 bedrooms and a buttload of bathrooms.
Not to mention ... a legendary "Shaq Center" athletic facility that is made up of a custom 6,000 square foot basketball court (with bleachers) ... where the NBA star once put Harvey Levin on his ass!!
The estate also boasts the "Shaq-apulco" outdoor area ... complete with a 95-foot long swimming pool and a rock waterfall, according to The Wall Street Journal. Obviously, he's got a hot tub, swim-up bar, walk-in humidor and wine cellar too.
Our sources say these days Shaq's spending most of his time in Atlanta and L.A. -- where he also has Shaq-sized mansions -- so it just didn't make sense to keep the massive Orlando mansion. We're told he plans to buy a smaller place in Tampa, where his mom lives, because that's become home base for the family.
The Orlando crib famously appeared on an episode of "Tanked" -- where Shaq got a custom Shaq Diesel fish tank installed in the home. No word if that stays with buyer or not.
Shaq bought the property in 1993 for $3.95 mil -- but he's done millions of dollars in custom upgrades and expansion.
Happy bidding ...

Offset totally destroyed his muscle car, and got a little banged up himself in the process ... TMZ has learned.
The Migos rapper wrecked his green Dodge Challenger late Wednesday night in Atlanta, and had to be taken to a hospital afterward for minor injuries ... according to our sources connected to Offset.
We're told he's already been released and is expected to be okay. His car ... not so much.
Our sources say Cardi B rushed to be by her fiance's side after she heard about the accident.
According to law enforcement, no cops or emergency medical workers were called to the crash scene, and no accident report was taken. Offset's wrecked car was towed away afterward.
It's unclear at this point if anyone else was involved -- but that seems unlikely since no one called police.

Mac Miller's DUI Arrest No Nikes on My Feet ... But, Sweater's on My Face Leaving Jail
Mac Miller walked out of jail Thursday morning not wanting to talk about his DUI arrest -- and, apparently, not wanting folks to see his face either.
We got Mac leaving the slammer in Van Nuys late Thursday morning, where just hours earlier he had been locked up for allegedly crashing into a power pole and fleeing the scene ... all while drunk.
Our camera guy asks the hard questions. Why did he allegedly bail from the crash site? How much had he had to drink? What did he say to cops to get a glowing suspect review? And is this in any way related to his recent split from Ariana Grande?
Mac was having none of it ... although, we did get a groan out of him. Talk about no comment.
Ariana just tweeted, "Pls take care of yourself."

Michael Cohen Stormy Lawyer Will Be 'Reckless' with Seized Docs ... NY Attorney Fears
A NY attorney wants an order protecting the information the FBI seized from Michael Cohen's office ... because of attorney-client privilege and his fear that Stormy Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, is shady.
The lawyer's name is Peter Gleason, and he claims he's had discussions with Cohen about political corruption in NY state. He says he's uncertain if Cohen's notes about those meetings are among the seized documents, but it's clear he doesn't want Avenatti -- who's trying to intervene in the FBI's case -- to get his hands on them.
In the docs, Gleason calls Avenatti's behavior "reckless and wanton." He refers to Avenatti as having "questionable tactics" and a "fast and loose style."
As for the questionable tactics, he says Avenatti attributed certain "fraudulent" wire transfers to the wrong Michael Cohen. He also says he claimed to have bank records belonging to Cohen ... something that isn't kosher.
Gleason says he wants to keep Avenatti and Stormy a mile away from any docs collected that include his records.

Harry & Meghan Let's Get This Show on the Road! Wedding Rehearsals Begin!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived at Windsor Castle Thursday afternoon as the military began its rehearsals for Saturday's wedding.
We're hearing Meghan and Harry are rehearsing their moves for the "I Dos" at Saint George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The person we haven't seen yet ... Meghan's mom, Doria Ragland, who presumably will walk her down the aisle, now that her dad is out of the picture.
TMZ broke the story, which Meghan just confirmed, that Thomas Markle cannot attend the wedding because he will be laid up in the hospital after serious heart surgery. Meghan's mom is the only family member on her side who will be attending the nuptials.
Their arrivals at Windsor Castle today marks the first time we've seen them together since Meghan's family meltdown earlier this week.
Prince William and Kate Middleton -- that's Wills behind the wheel -- were also spotted driving away from the Castle, so this looks like a full-blown rehearsal.

Teairra Mari Suing Ex & 50 Cent For Leaking the Sex Tape
'Love & Hip Hop' star Teairra Mari said her ex-bf leaked a sex video as revenge for breaking up with him ... so she's suing him and 50 Cent for reposting a sexually explicit image.
Teairra -- flanked by her attorneys, Lisa Bloom and Walter Mosley -- broke down in tears during an emotional news conference Thursday to announce the suit. Teairra said the ugly episode was triggered after she broke up with Akbar Abdul-Ahad after finding out he was cheating on her.
The reality star claims Akbar had her Instagram password and posted a video and an obscene photo of her as payback and to humiliate her. Teairra claims Fiddy, Akbar's close friend, then reposted an image to his 18 million followers before it was taken down.
Lisa said they'll file a police report later Thursday along with the suit. She added, "We have a significant piece of evidence that points to [Akbar]." AAA denies he was behind the act.
Should be noted ... questions as to whether Teairra was allegedly behind taking a metal rod to Akbar's G-Wagon were not raised.

T.I. Arrest 911 Call from Guard Shack
The security guard who called cops on T.I. felt threatened and frantically called 911 as T.I. walked back to his guard shack.
TMZ's obtained the 911 call ... where you can hear the guard telling the operator, "A resident is walking back here at the guard shack where I'm at."
The guard continued describing the scene, "I've been threatened by a resident and he's here now knocking on the door."
You can hear T.I. in the background telling him to step outside the guard shack because he wants his name. The guard refused to give him that information. T.I. also reminded the man he owns a home there and pays for his services.
T.I. got heated and repeatedly said, "You're making it worse for yourself, man" and warned that at some point "you're gonna have to deal with me." He does calm down and asks the guard to step outside to talk.
TMZ also obtained police video back at the station after T.I. was arrested for public drunkenness, simple assault and disorderly conduct. An officer told him he was "acting a fool" for going back to the guard shack. As you'd imagine ... T.I. strongly disagreed.

Rudy Giuliani No Way Prez Trump Can Be Indicted ... Even If He Shoots Someone

EXCLUSIVE

Rudy Giuliani said there's no room for interpretation -- Prez Trump can't be indicted ... even if he shoots someone.
We got Giuliani arriving at Reagan National Airport on Thursday and reminded him what Trump said in January 2016, when he was the then-GOP frontrunner. You'll recall Trump bragged that his popularity among his base was so strong he could stand in the middle of 5th Ave. and shoot somebody and not lose any voters.
With that in mind, our guy pressed Giuliani and wondered if he still thinks a President can't be indicted, even under those circumstances. Remember ... Giuliani claims a member of Robert Mueller's special counsel team acknowledged the President cannot be indicted.
Check it out ... Giuliani then lays down a step-by-step process of how Mueller's team has to handle a sitting Prez.

Meghan Markle Confirms Dad Won't Attend Wedding
Meghan Markle confirmed what TMZ reported Wednesday ... that her dad won't -- indeed can't -- walk her down the aisle Saturday when she marries Prince Harry.
Kensington Palace just issued a statement from Meghan, which reads, "Sadly, my father will not be attending our wedding. I have always cared for my father and hope he can be given the space he needs to focus on his health."
TMZ broke the story ... Thomas Markle is laid up in the hospital after undergoing serious heart surgery Wednesday, and won't be discharged in time for the nuptials. Fact is, he couldn't go even if he was out of the hospital because of his health.
Thomas had a serious heart attack a little more than a week ago, and on Wednesday doctors went in to clean up some of the plaque and insert 3 stents. Thomas was told by doctors he had to avoid getting excited.
As we reported, Thomas believes his heart attack was triggered by his son's vicious attack against Harry and Meghan.
It's all but certain Meghan's mom will walk her down the aisle on Saturday.
