Cardi B Bails on Bruno Mars Tour ... Cuz of Mommy Duties

Published | Updated

Cardi B's baby is her number one priority right now, and because of that ... she's canceling her Bruno Mars' tour gig this fall.

Cardi just made the announcement, saying she thought 6 weeks would be enough time for her to recover mentally and physically after giving birth to her baby girl ... but she "underestimated this whole mommy thing."

She adds she thought she'd be able to bring Kulture on tour, but doctors told her it's not healthy for her baby to be on the road ... and she's not ready to leave her behind.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Cardi says it's been the hardest decision to make, but thanked Bruno for his support and understanding.

Bruno replied to Cardi with a heartfelt message, saying, "You are absolutely doing the right thing," adding, "We love you Cardi and we will play Bodak Yellow every night in your honor."

Published | Updated

Nicolas Cage and his GF got so loud at a five-star hotel, cops had to come riding in to the rescue.

First, hotel security came up and told them to keep it down. We're told Nic happily obliged, but some other guest went straight to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police -- 'cause officers responded after midnight. Not on horseback, bro. In case ya don't know, the RCMP have cars now.

Luckily for Nic, nothing came of it ... law enforcement tells us no arrests were made. Case closed. No horses mounted.

THERE ARE STILL SPARKS

Nikki Bella knows how to sit on a fence -- refusing to close the door on her relationship with John Cena ... despite looking for her own home.

We got the WWE Diva Thursday at LAX, where she played coy about her status with her on-again-off-again beau -- whose house she's trying to move out of for her own spot.

We broke the story ... Nikki's looking to snap up her own house in the La Jolla area of San Diego. She's currently staying at John's home, and wants to remain nearby to be close to her sister, Brie. She's working with a budget of around $1 mil.

As for how the new house hunt is coming along, Nikki admits what should already be obvious ... SD is pricey! Sounds like she's chugging along though ... ready to start a new chapter in her life.

On John ... Nikki gives us mixed signals, saying she still loves him and that their fire's still burning. So ... you're telling us there's a chance?

Roseanne TV Apology to Valerie Jarrett ... Ends With a 'Do Diss

Published | Updated

Roseanne Barr took a crack at an on-air apology to Valerie Jarrett for posting a racist tweet about her, but it didn't go too well ... especially at the very end.

Roseanne was speaking on Sean Hannity's show Thursday night about her notorious tweet and the fallout that came after, when Hannity gave her a chance to look at the camera and say sorry to Jarrett.

Barr used the opportunity to drop a sort of half-apology, but even that was better than how she decided to wrap it up -- by insulting Valerie's haircut.

Roseanne's TV appearance comes after she's been hard at work with her son to create her own content, with the mission being -- ironically -- to get her unfiltered and true story out there -- not the media's.

As you know ... Roseanne's hit ABC show was canned after she compared Valerie to an ape on Twitter. She's tried to excuse it away -- first by blaming Ambien, then by claiming she thought "the bitch was white" -- while also alleging ABC really fired her because she's a Donald Trump supporter.

ABC has since revived "Roseanne" with a reboot/spin-off centered around the Conner family ... but without Roseanne, of course.

Nancy Grace Jenelle Evans Might Lose Her Kid Over Road Rage Incident

Published | Updated

Nancy Grace thinks the lack of self-control and recklessness shown by Jenelle Evans during a fit of road rage could land her in legal hot water ... and even cost her her child.

We got the 'Crime Stories' host at LAX and asked for her take on the "Teen Mom 2" star whipping out a gun in her car with her 8-year-old son beside her. Nancy blasts Jenelle for putting her child in danger ... and believes it might lead to criminal charges and her kid being taken away.

And, much like the other driver in the road rage incident ... Grace says the situation could have been much worse, and it's ridiculous Jenelle didn't use better judgment as a parent.

We broke the story ... Jenelle's ex feels the same way as Nancy, and believes Evans' dangerous behavior proves he should have custody of their 4-year-old son, Kaiser.

Trump Walk of Fame Star Vandal I Have NO Regrets ... Even De Niro's Got My Back!!!

Published | Updated

The latest man to take a pickax to Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star says he was so fed up with the President he had to let it all out, and despite getting arrested ... he's happy he did.

Austin Clay tells TMZ ... POTUS' treatment of immigrant families was the spark that set him off, and taking it out on Trump's star seemed like the perfect way to send a message.

It's unclear if Trump got the message, but Clay and his GF say his pickax attack caught the eye of a couple celebs ... including noted Trump foe Robert De Niro.

As we reported, Clay was arrested after destroying the star around 3 AM Wednesday and calling the cops on himself. OG Trump star vandal, James Otis, offered to pay his $20k bail ... but Austin tells us he was released this morning after someone else did. He didn't say who.

As for Trump's star ... it cost $3k to replace, and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will be going after Clay for the bill.

911 AUDIO

Demi Lovato's friends wanted to keep her OD on the DL ... asking paramedics to come to her house without sirens.

In the 911 call from Lovato's house -- obtained by TMZ -- the caller remains calm while taking orders from the dispatcher. As the ambulance approached, the dispatcher let the caller know they'd soon hear sirens to which the caller responded, requesting they be shut off ... seemingly to keep the situation private from neighbors. However, the dispatcher says that's just not possible.

We broke the story ... Demi was rushed to an L.A. hospital after suffering an overdose, which law enforcement believed was from heroin. However, a source close to the singer said it wasn't heroin, but refused to divulge the source of the OD.

Demi's emergency came after an all-night party that started with a birthday celebration for one of her backup dancers at Saddle Ranch in WeHo.

As we reported ... Lovato had been struggling with drugs for weeks, even before last month's public confession of a relapse on her song, "Sober."

Check out the initial dispatch audio (below). You hear the dispatcher for the L.A. Fire Department calling LAPD and saying, "I thought maybe you guys better go on something like this." It's unclear if he's saying the LAPD should go out because Demi is a celebrity, or because of a drug overdose. The call is redacted, so we don't know if Demi's name or the OD was mentioned.

Glenn Close I Love James Gunn, But Be Smarter on Social Media!

Published | Updated

Glenn Close seems conflicted about the firing of director James Gunn over his offensive tweets, but she has some advice for him when it comes to social media.

We got the legendary actress Thursday outside a BUILD Series event in NYC for her upcoming movie "The Wife" ... and asked her about Disney's decision to fire Gunn. She worked with him when she played Nova Prime in "Guardians of the Galaxy."

She deflected on whether she supports Disney's move, and instead said Gunn, and others, should take a different approach before clicking "tweet" or "share."

As we reported ... Gunn was axed as director of the 'Guardians' franchise after years-old tweets surfaced in which he made crass and offensive comments about 9/11, AIDS, rape and pedophilia.

50 Cent Silent on Floyd ... But All About Kendrick

Published | Updated

50 Cent was mum on his feud with Floyd Mayweather but proved once again why he's a successful business man ... jumping at an opportunity to promote Kendrick Lamar on his show, "Power."

50 was at LAX Thursday, where our photog peppered him with questions about his back and forth with Floyd -- the two have been trading jabs on social media all week -- but 50 didn't say a peep.

Our photog then turned the focus to Kendrick Lamar's upcoming guest spot on "Power" and 50 was all ears -- giving mad props -- even talking awards.

There's nothing like some easy advertisement.

Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin Sucking Face in NYC

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin will soon swap wedding vows -- but for now, they're happy swapping spit -- and doing it out in the open at an NYC restaurant.

JB and Baldwin were at 12 Chairs Cafe in Brooklyn Thursday for a light lunch, but went heavy on the PDA for everyone else in the place. The two have been on an East Coast tour as of late ... heading upstate to visit Hailey's family then swinging down to Georgia for a personal golf lesson.

It's been almost a month since the Biebs popped the question in The Bahamas and the young love buzz is clearly still strong.

As for wedding plans -- those are still in the works -- but it's already on track to be one hell of a honeymoon.

Katie Holmes I Want to Be a Part of It ... Just Another NYC Subway Rider

Published | Updated

Katie Holmes' carbon footprint just shrank a size after she hopped on the subway in NYC, and blended in with the other metro riders.

We don't see celebs riding the subway often, but Holmes looked just like any other New Yorker minding her own damn business on a train headed uptown. She got lost in a copy of Joan Didion's "Slouching Towards Bethlehem."

Hopefully she didn't miss her stop. Nothing jacks up your day like waking up in Flushing, Queens ... when you were headed for Midtown.

Sacha Baron Cohen Kingman, AZ Mayor Pissed ... Racist Mosque Skit Full of Holes!

THAT'S NOT US!

Sacha Baron Cohen is unfairly making the citizens of Kingman, Arizona look like a bunch of backwater racists ... according to the city's mayor.

Mayor Monica Gates tells us last week's episode of "Who Is America?" is total BS because she doesn't think it was even shot in her city. She says she doesn't recognize the venue or any of the people in the room.

The segment was supremely unflattering to Kingman -- a disguised Sacha told the roomful of citizens the world's largest mosque outside of the Middle East was going to be built there. The reaction ranged from hilarious to scarily racist ... not only against Muslims.

As for the people in the room NOT being legit Kingman residents? Some of the people who got duped sounded off afterward, and we checked the names that were public -- they DO live there.

Check out why Mayor Gates says there's no need for a new mosque in her city, anyway. It's not what you think.

Papa John Sues Papa John's ... They Did Me Dirty

Published | Updated

The founder of Papa John's is feeling burned by his former company ... and he's demanding some answers from the pizza giant's board of directors.

John Schnatter filed a lawsuit in Delaware Thursday to get Papa John's to disclose all documents related to its response to him using the n-word. Schnatter wants to see the docs, "because of the unexplained and heavy-handed way in which the company has treated him since the publication of a story that falsely accused him of using a racial slur."

In the suit, Schnatter says it's impossible the board took an appropriate amount of time to make informed decisions ... which included terminating certain business agreements.

As we reported ... he resigned as chairman of Papa John's International, and also left the University of Louisville's Board of Trustees, after he was called out for using the n-word on a conference call in May. Schnatter insists reports falsely characterized the way he used the word.

Schnatter isn't looking for any serious dough in the lawsuit for now ... he just wants them to hand over company records.

Lebron James Regrets Naming Son After Himself

Published | Updated

LeBron James says he regrets naming his 14-year-old son LeBron James Jr. -- because he's concerned about all of the pressure that comes with it.

The NBA superstar was opening up about his family to Jon Stewart, Snoop Dogg, Odell Beckham Jr. and Maverick Carter in his new HBO series, 'The Shop.'

While James was talking about how much fun he's having watching his kids play youth basketball -- Stewart asked, "How do you give them a piece of mind that they don't have to be you?"

That's when James explained his regret when it comes to naming his kid -- but said it was an overreaction from not having a father while he was growing up.

James said he always swore that he would be the dad he didn't have -- and naming his kid "Jr." -- was the first step.

It's actually a really touching story.
