Nikki Bella & John Cena It's Over ... Once and For All

Published | Updated

Nikki Bella and John Cena are officially donzo, and that's not based on her reality show ... that's what they're telling friends in real life.

Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ ... the exes are telling friends their on-again-off-again relationship has finally gone kaput because they've grown apart ... figuratively and quite literally.

Remember, while Nikki was filming "Total Bellas," John was tied up in China ... and that distance further fractured their already-teetering relationship.

Our Nikki sources say she also realized while watching Sunday's finale of 'TB' how unhappy she was and hated the feeling of being confused and living in a gray area. Watching that high level of uncertainty reminded her why she ultimately chose not to walk down the aisle with John, despite his pleas.

We're told Nikki doesn't regret her decision, but dating someone new is the LAST thing on her mind. She's now focusing on her career. We broke the story ... Nikki's moving out of John's place and finding her own spot.

Demi Lovato Still Hospitalized 'Complications' 6 Days After OD

Published | Updated

Demi Lovato is still at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center ... where she's been since OD'ing on drugs last Tuesday. As for why, we're told Demi is very, very sick.

Sources with firsthand knowledge tell TMZ, she is suffering extreme nausea and a high fever, among other things. We're told these are among the "complications" related to the overdose.

As we reported, Demi's OD was so severe her life was in jeopardy. She was unconscious when paramedics arrived at her house and had to be revived with Narcan -- an antidote to an opioid OD.

Demi would not tell EMTs what drug or drugs she had taken, but it appeared to be some sort of opioid.

Doctors have not decided when Demi can be released from the hospital, but one source said, "She is under the care of medical experts and is expected to make a full recovery."

What we don't know ... whether she's inclined to enter a rehab facility when she's released. We know the people around her want her to go -- she's been on a downhill slide for months -- but ultimately it's Demi's decision.

Chris Pratt Kisses Katherine Schwarzenegger ... But, Only After Church

Published | Updated

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are officially a couple -- a churchgoing one at that -- but they won't really show it until they're out of God's purview.

The recently-single Hollywood stud was spotted on another date with Arnold and Maria's 28-year-old daughter Sunday -- this time with his and Anna Faris' son, Jack, tagging along ... not to mention JC. The trio hit up a church service in L.A. and ice cream afterward.

It wasn't until Chris and Kat were out of the Lord's house that they smooched a bit ... not once, but twice! Seems like things have gone well since their Santa Barbara picnic last month.

As for Jack, we're guessing he's getting used to his parents' new boos since they filed for divorce -- Anna certainly hasn't shied away from having her new BF step in as stepdad.

Pete Davidson His Ariana Bunny Tattoo is Missing

Published | Updated

3:00 PM PT -- Sources close to the couple tell us there is no trouble in paradise. Davidson covered up the ink temporarily for a movie role.

Pete Davidson appears to have wiped a symbol of his fiancee, Ariana Grande, off his body ... and now the question is ... why?

The 'SNL' star was spotted Sunday in L.A. without Ariana by his side -- but, more importantly, WITHOUT his jet-black neck tattoo of her trademark black bunny mask.

Pete got the Ariana-inspired ink behind his ear early last month by tattoo artist London Reese, who posted a shot of his work on social media at the time. Now, you can still see traces of the tattoo ... but it definitely looks more faded than what it once was.

He also got a thumb tat with Ariana's initials, but you can't tell here if he's still rockin' that.

Here's the thing ... Pete's in the middle of shooting a movie with Machine Gun Kelly right now, and it's quite possible that he simply had the tat covered with makeup for the job.

Pete and Ariana just recently got engaged, and he already reportedly covered up another forearm tat that was dedicated to his ex.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Cast Backs James Gunn ... He's the Victim of 'Mob Mentality'

Published | Updated

'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn was done dirty by America's politically charged court of public opinion ... according to Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana and the rest of the 'GotG' stars.

The cast posted an open letter in support of Gunn, who Disney fired from the franchise in response to old tweets where he made several highly inappropriate jokes. In the letter they vouch for his character, accept his apology and hint Disney only canned him because it feared public backlash.

They wrote, "There is little due process in the court of public opinion. Given the growing political divide in this country, it's safe to say instances like this will continue." They went on to urge Americans to "ease up on the character assassinations and stop weaponizing mob mentality."

In the letter -- also signed by Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista and Michael Rooker -- they don't exactly demand Disney rehire Gunn ... but on social media, Pratt said he'd "love to see him reinstated as director of Volume 3." The cast insists Gunn's not done in Hollywood, and they look forward to working with "our friend James again in the future."

Guns N' Roses Ex-Guitarist Busted for DUI Sweet Mug O' Mine!

Published | Updated

The guy who used to play lead guitar for Guns N' Roses -- post-Slash -- got busted for DUI, and took one of the most rock 'n' roll mug shots we've seen in a long time ... guy-liner included.

DJ Ashba was arrested Friday in Fairbury, IL on suspicion of DUI and for blowing a stop sign.

Law enforcement sources tell us Ashba first got pulled over for failing to stop but, because he showed signs of impairment, officers gave him field sobriety tests. Fair to say, it didn't go well for Ashba ... he was taken to jail, where he modeled a tight mohawk and colorful neck ink.

Ashba played with GNR from 2009 to 2015. After that he was performing as lead guitarist in Sixx:A.M. with Motley Crue vet Nikki Sixx.

Lindsay Lohan Watch Me Do My Biz Thang in Greece!!!

Published | Updated

Lindsay Lohan is snapping back to reality ... as in a new reality show, cause she's doing one for MTV.

The "Mean Girls" star will show what it's like to run her club biz when MTV launches "Lohan Beach Club" in 2019. The show will center around Lohan Beach House in Mykonos. It's the same hot spot where LiLo partied with Tiffany Trump over the weekend to raise money for victims of the massive Greek wildfires.

MTV cameras will follow Lindsay as her team of handpicked brand ambassadors prove their expertise and ambition over the course of the season ... all set at LiLo's day and nightclub on the Greek isles.

This ain't the first time Lindsay's dipped her toe into reality TV. Remember, her family did "Living Lohan" for a short-lived season in 2008 -- and "Lindsay" had an 8-episode run on OWN back in 2014.

Alex Trebek Answer: THIS Guy Should Replace Me As New 'Jeopardy!' Host

Published | Updated

Alex Trebek can't host "Jeopardy!" forever -- in fact, he says there's a good chance he'll retire from the show soon -- and he's already got a replacement in mind ... with a very fitting name.

Trebek talked to Harvey Levin on the latest episode of 'OBJECTified' Sunday night about his legendary career as a game show host. He says chances are more than 50/50 he'll leave "Jeopardy!" when his contract expires in 2020, and when he departs ... he thinks the LA Kings hockey announcer should take over.

Who is Alex Faust? CORRECT!

Trebek's support would obviously carry a lot of weight ... he's deeply involved in the production of the show and his blessing would clearly sit well with viewers. Plus, having the same first name has its benefits.

Faust, who is just 28, already has some experience replacing icons -- he was chosen to replace Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Miller after 44 seasons to do play-by-play for the Kings ... and has apparently impressed Trebek with his work.

The "Jeopardy!" host has one other option in mind -- CNN legal analyst Laura Coates. Obviously, she has less in common with Trebek than Faust ... but he thinks she'd be a good fit as well.

Sacha Baron Cohen Roy Moore Threatens to Sue After This Pedophile Prank

Published | Updated

Roy Moore played right into Sacha Baron Cohen's hands as the comedian pulled off a prank that seemed to label Moore a pedophile ... and the whole mess could be headed for court.

The skit aired on Sunday night's episode of "Who Is America?" -- Moore was interviewed by Cohen, who was disguised as an ex-Israeli intelligence officer. Cohen's character told Moore Israel had developed technology to detect an enzyme that pedophiles secrete.

Watch Moore's reaction when Cohen busts out the device -- which, of course, alarmed like crazy around Moore. It's pretty clear the failed Senate-candidate thinks something is up, but still he sits through the bit.

It's really odd ... especially because Moore was so beset by multiple allegations he'd sexually assaulted minors many years ago. He's never been charged with a crime.

Moore said even before it aired, he would consider suing Showtime if it "airs a defamatory attack on my character." He also dismissed Cohen's comedy as "trickery, deception, and dishonesty."

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER FIGHT

President Trump is now the official lighting rod for street fights on Hollywood's Walk of Fame -- and the latest violence got at least one person arrested.

A huge crowd of Trump supporters and Trump haters gathered around 7:50 PM Sunday on Trump's star on Hollywood Blvd -- and fists started flying twice. The first fight broke out on the sidewalk, and a few cops were already on the scene.

More officers responded as the crowd got out of control ... then one guy decided to get in a cop's face, and that started the second fight. LAPD says one juvenile was busted for battery on a police officer. A second suspect from the original fight fled the scene.

As we reported, another brawl broke out last week in the same spot.

ALL-OUT BRAWL

Ever since Trump's star died by pickax last week, courtesy of Austin Clay, crowds have rallied around that section of the Walk of Fame.

Although the star's been replaced, there's obviously still plenty of anger to go around.

Beach Boys' David Marks & Wife Wouldn't It Be Nice ... If We Didn't Get Arrested Again?

Published | Updated

Longtime Beach Boys member David Marks and his wife looked way different from their mug shots earlier this month ... they were smiling again.

David and his wife, Carrieann Marks, were spotted together in WeHo Sunday night ... leaving Craig's. They appeared in a much better mood than the last time we saw these two.

TMZ broke the story ... David and Carrieann were arrested earlier this month in the San Fernando Valley after cops responded to a domestic dispute. David was arrested and booked for resisting, delaying or obstructing an officer and Carrieann got busted for domestic violence against a spouse.

The details of the incident in question remain unclear. Carrieann, however, told us the whole thing was a huge misunderstanding and they're "happier than ever."

No word if David was blasting "Don't Worry Baby" on their way out of Craig's.

Published | Updated

Kim, Khloe, and Kendall tried their hands at poker and were dealt a good time. Even better ... all for a GREAT cause.

The sisters -- along with momager Kris Jenner -- were the featured guests at this year's 'If Only' Texas Hold'Em Poker Tournament held Sunday at The Forum. The charity event aimed to raise money for cancer treatment and research benefiting the City of Hope.

As we reported ... tons of other celebs hosted tables at the event and some of the prizes included customized Callaway golf clubs and cool meet-and-greets.

Some of the celebs on hand ... Grammy winner Meghan Trainor, pro poker player Maria Ho, former UFC champ Tito Ortiz, "The Simpsons" executive producer James L. Brooks and more.

Demi Lovato Backup Dancer Says It Wasn't Me

Published | Updated

The backup dancer who has been attacked online for allegedly bearing some responsibility in Demi Lovato's overdose says she had nothing to do with it.

Dani Vitale posted her denial after some of Demi's fans claimed she was a bad influence on the singer and bore responsibility for the 911 emergency last week.

Dani said, "I was not with Demi when the incident happened, but I am with her now, and will continue to be because she means the world to me just as she does to all of you."

TMZ broke the story ... Demi was with Dani hours before the overdose at the Saddle Ranch restaurant/bar on the sunset strip celebrating the dancer's birthday.

Dani went on to say that Lovato's fans have been a community of love, adding, "Please remember that when you take out your phones and start typing."

After the birthday party Demi went home where she overdosed and had to be revived with Narcan.

Shaq 'Kobe's Coming Back'

MAMBA'S RETURN

These are actual words that came out of Shaq's mouth Sunday night -- "Kobe coming back. You heard it here first."

Is he messing with us? Probably. Then again, maybe not??

But, probably.

Shaq was leaving the Budweiser LIVE 5-on-5 charity basketball tournament in Downtown L.A. over the weekend when we asked the 46-year-old if he would ever consider a comeback.

The Diesel shot that right down ... but then cracked a big grin and told us, "Kobe coming back I heard. Kobe coming back! You heard it here first!"

There have been rumblings about 39-year-old Kobe Bryant coming back to the Lakers for one more season alongside LeBron James ... but it's super unlikely.

Then again ... maybe not?

By the way, the basketball event raised money for the Folds of Honor Foundation -- which provides scholarships to spouses and children of U.S. military personnel who've been killed or wounded in action.

Faith Evans & Stevie J Already Talking Babies ... 'He Ain't Shooting Blanks!!!'

Published | Updated

If Faith Evans knows one thing about Stevie J it's that he's good -- really, really good -- at making babies, and the newlyweds definitely have baby fever.

We got Faith and Stevie talking for the first time about their surprise Las Vegas wedding. They insist the hookup is NOT a publicity stunt, and explained why they decided to go all the way.

The R&B duo's heard some of the negative reaction to their marriage, but say they're ignoring all the haters. As we reported, some family members are pissed they didn't get a heads-up.

They got really excited though when we asked if they plan to have babies. You gotta see Faith declare her baby factory is open for biz.

As she put it, we all know Stevie can make it happen ... with 6 kids of his own already.

Looks like they got in a damn good dress rehearsal while shooting the "A Minute" music video.

Demi Moore Bruce Got 'Pulp Fiction' ... Thanks to a Ball Gag & Weinstein

CHOKE ON THIS!

Demi Moore trolled the hell outta Bruce Willis with a Harvey Weinstein joke at his 'Roast' that might have some people asking ... too soon?

The actress made a surprise appearance at her ex-husband's "Comedy Central Roast" -- which aired Sunday night -- and joked Bruce was one of the disgraced studio mogul's victims.

The setup started with Demi giving Bruce props for doing an Indie movie, "Pulp Fiction," which happened to be produced by Weinstein. Then came the punch line ... which drew laughs, but also shock from others onstage -- Kevin Pollak winced and Cybill Shepherd's jaw literally dropped.

Harvey, of course, faces life in prison following 3 sexual assault charges in NYC.
