Guy Pearce is strongly insinuating Kevin Spacey was sexually inappropriate toward him when they shot "L.A. Confidential."

Australian talk show host Andrew Denton was playing name association with Guy and, when he brought up Spacey's name, Guy said ... "He's a handsy guy."

He added it was a "slightly difficult time with Kevin" ... when they shot the 1997 film.

After some awkward silence in the studio, he made a clear reference to allegations Spacey molested actor Anthony Rapp when Rapp was a teenager. Guy said, "Thankfully I was 29, and not 14."

More controversy out of the 'Big Brother' house -- this time two white housemates complained the sun was making them too dark ... and likened that to looking "ghetto."

'BB' contestants Rachel Swindler and Angela Rummans were captured on the show's live feed Monday saying some pretty racist sounding s**t. Rachel kicks it off by saying her stomach was as dark as fellow houseguest Bayleigh Dayton -- who is black.

Angela makes things worse by responding with ... "I know. I'm looking ghetto here with the skin coloration." Rachel continues to gripe that she can't be in the sun for more than two days, otherwise she would "change ethnicities." Yikes ...

It's over ... again.

The famous LeBron James banner in downtown Cleveland is officially coming down -- after the NBA superstar decided to leave the city and sign with the Lakers.

The banner -- a 10-story-tall billboard -- has become an icon in Cleveland, showing James doing his famous chalk throw before a game.

The removal ain't gonna be easy -- a Nike spokesperson said it could take a couple of days.

So, what's gonna happen to the banner? Sherwin-Williams -- which owns the building -- says it's evaluating the situation.

As we previously reported, the Cleveland Cavs official online team shop has already scrubbed LeBron from the front page -- and they're slashing prices on all #23 jerseys.

Roseanne Barr says things are not all bad for her after her racist tweet got her fired from her own show ... she says TV offers are coming in and there's one that has intrigued her.

Barr appeared again on Rabbi Shmuley's podcast and told him she may be down but not out. She makes it seem as if she's close to accepting one of the offers.

As for the show from which Roseanne was fired ... she says -- shockingly -- she didn't accept a penny when she signed the rights away to the show she created. She says, "I thought signing off of my own life's work and asking for nothing in return, I thought that was a penance."

Liziane Gutierrez has World Cup fever ... not that she needs an excuse to rock a bikini.

The Brazilian model celebrated the Samba Kings' 2-0 win over Mexico with a trip to Barra Da Tijuca ... a beach neighborhood near Rio de Janeiro. We're told Liziane was there with a friend ... doing what girlfriends do when they turn up together -- lather each other's asses with sunscreen and say thanks ... with a kiss.

Jeremy Meeks and Chloe Green called in some reinforcements for their new baby, jetting off to the French Riviera for a group date night to kick off the week.

The new parents were hanging with friends Monday night in Monaco in what appears to be their first time out together solo since their son, Jayden, was born last month. Among the crew ... Lewis Hamilton and Rita Ora, as well as English reality TV star Vas J Morgan.

Chloe and Jeremy live in the U.K., so getting together with their compadres in a neighboring country probably wasn't all that difficult. She is the heiress to the Topshop fortune after all, and Jeremy doesn't seem to mind international travel on a moment's notice either.

Mind you, the "Hot Felon" was just in L.A. picking up his 9-year-old son from his previous marriage to Melissa Meeks after striking a new custody agreement in their divorce. He was spotted with Jeremy Jr. just this past Thursday at a local Target.

Blac Chyna is dating another teenager -- pro boxer Devin Haney -- and has been banging him for a good while now ... which might be a surprise to YBN Almighty Jay.

Sources close to the 19-year-old athlete tell us he first hooked up with Chyna 2 to 3 months ago, hitting her up on IG after learning they had the same lawyer. We're told Chyna was into him ... and started seeing him regularly soon after.

Chyna isn't dating Devin for any type of "clout" -- as many have speculated online after she tagged him in a photo and said "Hi babe" on IG. On the contrary, we're told BC simply likes the dude. He's successful, mature for his age ... and ain't bad looking either.

As for the messy timeline on how long Chyna's been with Devin, it's clear she was seeing him while dating her ex, Jay, while he himself was pursuing different women ... and allegedly knocking up at least one while linked to BC. The pair officially broke up last month.

All's fair in love and DM slidin'.

The government is shelling out more dough this year on the National Mall 4th of July Celebration when it comes to fireworks ... $30k more, but it's unclear if it's getting a bigger bang for its buck.

We got ahold of the National Park Service's contract for the event where the government lights up the sky for 18 minutes. It'll cost about $270k. Last year's show cost around $240k.

Another $77k will be spent on fencing, while about $13k will go towards emergency services, including fire trucks.

Thousands make the trek to the Mall and Lincoln Memorial for the 4th of July celebration.

The government is scoring a deal on portable toilets. The bill for 120 stalls and 2 hand washing stations comes out to $9k, which sounds like quite the bargain.

Farrah Abraham's seen the last of Drita D'Avanzo's face ... Farrah doesn't run in pathetic circles and that's why Drita's slap to the face will NEVER come to fruition.

Farrah tells TMZ ... the ex-'Teen Mom' OG star has zero plans to ever be near the likes of the former "Mob Wives" star, and the reason's simple ... Farrah doesn't ever want to associate with someone like her. As Farrah put it, "I don't see pathetic people."

As we reported ... the reality stars are beefing after Farrah called out Drita on Instagram. Farrah tells us Drita's "lack of professionalism started it" when Drita bailed after dinner for the event they were supposed to co-host in Atlantic City. Drita reportedly said she was there and no one paid attention to Farrah.

Farrah scoffs at the notion she's an unknown. She says, "I'm sure she's not invited to the ESPYs."

As for reports her lawyers are gunning for a restraining order ... Farrah tells us the only thing her lawyers have fired off is a cease and desist to get Drita to stop making threats against her.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" star Linda Hunt was hospitalized after a serious car wreck in Hollywood.

Hunt was driving a black BMW SUV Monday and tried making a left turn. An eyewitness tells us Hunt struck a sedan and then collided with a Honda SUV. Hunt was visibly shaken, and witnesses escorted her to a lawn chair on the sidewalk.

We're told paramedics evaluated Linda on the chair and then determined she needed to be taken to the hospital. The witness tells us the other drivers only suffered minor injuries.

Hunt has been a fixture on 'NCIS,' appearing in over 200 episodes. She's also done voice work on video games and voiced Grandmother Willow in Disney's "Pocahontas."

Law enforcement sources confirmed only one person from the accident was hospitalized. At this time, the cause of the accident is under investigation.

Jerome Bettis has a message for Le'Veon Bell and the Pittsburgh Steelers -- "Neither one of you are as good by yourself as you are together."

Translation ... stop messing around and get a long-term deal done already.

Bell has been beefing with the Steelers for years -- demanding (and failing to get) a long-term contract. Instead, the team hit him with the franchise tag for the past 2 seasons.

Bell has threatened to hold out and even retire if the two sides don't get a long-term deal done -- and Bettis says it's in the best interest of BOTH sides to make something work.

"Le'Veon, you're not going to be as good going somewhere else because they're not going to have the offensive line, they're not going to have the quarterback, the receivers that they have in Pittsburgh."

"You have a full complement around you that allows you to be as great as you want to be."

As for the Steelers, Bettis says there's little risk in signing Bell to a long-term deal because he'll be able to produce at a high level for at least 5 more years.

By the way ... Bettis is competing in a golf tournament next week that features a Korbel champagne celebrity cork-shooting contest -- and you gotta hear why he thinks Steph Curry shouldn't be the favorite!!

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin's relationship is speeding along, but everything came to a sudden, grinding halt Monday when his fancy sports car broke down.

Biebs and Hailey were cruising in the Hamptons in a Mercedes-Benz SLS -- with gullwing doors, no less -- when they ran into car trouble. The supercar's got a starting price of about $200k and goes from 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds.

It, apparently, goes from 60 to 0 pretty quickly too.

The car's been discontinued, which might explain the trouble. Justin and Hailey had to get help from a cop who directed traffic around the intersection where the Benz crapped out.

A mechanic eventually showed up to repair the whip.

Janet Jackson was front and center at her father Joe Jackson's funeral Monday, along with various other family members.

The service was held at Forest Lawn in Glendale, CA, where Michael Jackson is entombed.

TMZ broke the story ... Joe died last Wednesday after battling pancreatic cancer.

Michael is in a mausoleum at Forest Lawn, and it's safe to say Joe's resting place will be nearby. It's interesting because, as we reported, Michael cut Joe out of his will, making Katherine and his kids the beneficiaries.

Kelly Slater -- the most decorated pro surfer of all time -- says he's finally ready to retire from the pro surfing championship tour ... but not until he competes one last time!!!

"My basic plan is to get myself really healthy again, get ready for April, and next year be my last year on tour and just be done with it," Slater said during the 2018 Corona J-Bay Open.

In other words, the 46-year-old surf god will compete during the 2019 season -- and give it one last shot to win his 12th World Surf League Championship.

Slater's been nursing a broken foot -- which he calls "pretty minor on the scope of life" -- and says, as soon as he heals up, he'll be ready for his farewell tour.

Don't worry about Kelly's post-competition life ... the guy created his own artificial wave machine which some say will revolutionize the sport -- especially the way competitions are televised.

By the way, no one's even close to catching Slater when it comes to world titles -- the next guy on the list only has 5.
