Shaq ALL I DO IS SCHWINN!!! ... Big Man, Big Bike

Published | Updated

Here's proof they DO make bikes big enough for Shaquille O'Neal!!

The NBA Hall of Famer felt the urge to go on a bike ride during his vacation in Nassau, Bahamas on Wednesday ... so he ducked into a local shop and asked for the biggest 2-wheeler they got.

The shop delivered -- and Diesel was so happy, the 7'1" giant took the whip out for a quick cruise around the neighborhood ... while wearing some amazing floral-pattern shorts!

As we've previously reported ... Shaq loves his 2-wheelers, but usually has to get them customized to fit his gigantic body size.

By the way, props to whoever made this bike -- witnesses at the shop tell us the bike survived all 300 pounds (more?) without a problem!

Blac Chyna Dream Looks Exactly Like Me!! ... Hmmm, That So?

Published | Updated

Blac Chyna thinks little Dream is a spitting image of her and not baby daddy Rob Kardashian ... but we gotta ask ... really???

We got BC Wednesday night heading into Project LA in Hollywood and she didn't hesitate on the issue of likeness -- Dream's a chip off the old mom block.

LOOKIN' LIKE MAMA

Rob's got a ton of recent photos of their almost 2-year-old up on social media, and her features are certainly starting to get much more defined. As for Chyna's claim ... we really can't say. Truthfully, Dream looks a little like both of them -- they each technically contributed half of themselves, after all.

How about we just stick to the custody deal in place here and call it 50/50? That ... or you can just weigh in for yourself. Either way ...

Travis Scott Sends Cash to Fan ... To Help with Mom's Funeral

Published | Updated

Travis Scott's surprise cash handout isn't just a fun thing for his fans ... it's touching lives and helping people in need too.

Case in point ... Peter Valdriz, who replied to Travis' $100k Twitter giveaway announcement Tuesday -- in which fans were encouraged to tweet their Cash App tag with lyrics from "Astroworld" for a chance to get money. Peter pleaded his case by saying the dough would help with his mom's funeral cost.

Minutes later ... the rapper sent him $800 with a personal message saying he hopes it helps.

Peter tells TMZ ... his mother passed away last week after a battle with a brain virus and complications that followed. He says the gift from Travis came on what would have been her 52nd birthday and will go toward the expenses for her funeral next week.

He tells us Scott's donation really means a lot to him and his entire family, saying ... "Knowing that someone is out there trying to help us during this difficult time means the world to us."

He adds ... "I personally want to thank Travis Scott for really making a tough day for my family into a day we can cherish."

There's more -- Peter tells us Travis' gift has inspired other "generous and kindhearted" strangers to chip in to help with his mom's funeral as well.

Pretty amazing what a tweet can do.

Serena Williams Kaepernick Would Win Super Bowl ... If Hired

Published | Updated

Well, this is interesting ...

Serena Williams -- who owns a minority stake in the Miami Dolphins -- says she's convinced, if a team hired Colin Kaepernick, he would win the Super Bowl.

However, she's also convinced no one will ever hire Colin Kaepernick.

It's all part of her new interview with Time -- where Serena says she supports the rights of NFL players to protest during the national anthem.

When asked specifically about Colin -- whom she's only met twice -- Williams said she doubts an NFL team will hire him, especially after he filed his collusion grievance against the league.

But, as the Time article states, "She’s convinced Kaepernick would win a Super Bowl."

"He’d have so much to prove," Williams said ... "I would. I can’t imagine he would be any different. 'Man, I’m about to show out. Y’all gonna see stuff you’ve never seen before.'"

Interesting, since some think the Dolphins could use a QB right now ...

Williams also says she doesn't believe Kaepernick is a broken man because of the alleged blackballing -- she thinks it's the opposite because he's focusing on raising money for nonprofits.

"Colin is happy with what he’s doing ... Some people are different. He’s just different."

Thomas Markle No Ace Up His Sleeve ... Clothing Line News is Phony

Published | Updated

Thomas Markle certainly has his own style, but the idea of him starting his own clothing line is "ridiculous" ... so say sources close to Meghan's dad.

Rumors of Tom M. trying to become the next Tom Ford began Wednesday when the Duchess of Sussex's half-sister, Samantha Markle, tweeted it out ... saying she was excited about her dad's new clothing line for men.

We're told this is absolutely untrue and the only credible part of Samantha's additional claim that Thomas is focusing on a line of hoodies for older dudes ... is that he does indeed like to wear hoodies.

When we last talked to Thomas, he made it clear he was not going away until he had some contact with his daughter and the Royal Fam ... but our sources insist launching his own hoodie collection is not part of the plan.

Kris Jenner I Still Love Kanye Even Though He Wants to Bang All of My Daughters

Published | Updated

Kris Jenner still loves Kanye West ... even if he does fantasize about getting with her daughters, despite being married to Kim.

We got Kris and her mom leaving Nate'n Al deli in Beverly Hills Wednesday, and asked if she has any thoughts on Kanye's new track ... in which he revealed he wants to "smash" all 4 of his sisters-in-law.

Kris seems to find it all kind of funny, and says she's got nothing but love for Ye ... so, not your typical mother-in-law response.

That's not to say she's down with Kanye's lyrics, though ... because we know she's always got Kim's back.

112's Mike & Slim We Broke Up Again Q & Daron Going Their Own Way

Published | Updated

Bad news for 112 fans -- the R&B quartet that JUST reunited after an 11-year hiatus has broken up again ... but a couple members say they want to keep the brand alive.

We spoke to Mike and Slim who tell us Q and Daron recently split from the group after a disagreement that they just couldn't resolve. They're a bit vague on what exactly they were beefing over, but it sounds like it might be a legal issue ... 'cause Slim says he's being sued.

112 hadn't put out a new album since 2005, so their loyal supporters were stoked in 2016 when they joined Diddy's Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour and then released a 6th studio album and dropped a new single last year.

So, one thing is clear ... Mike and Slim are gonna keep touring on their own, which they've apparently been doing for months now.

Vivica A. Fox To Quentin Tarantino ... Make 'Kill Bill 3' And Put Ronda In It!!

Published | Updated

One of the stars of 'Kill Bill' is ALL IN for making a 3rd installment -- with Vivica A. Fox telling TMZ Sports she thinks Ronda Rousey would be the PERFECT star.

Of course, Viv starred in the original flick as Copperhead -- one of the infamous Deadly Viper Assassination Squad members targeted by Uma Thurman's character, Black Mamba.

So, when she heard Ronda was campaigning to play Uma's daughter if Quentin Tarantino decides to make 'KB3' -- Fox LOVED the idea.

KILLIN' FOR A ROLE

"I love Ronda Rousey," Fox said ... "So, you come join the 'Kill Bill' franchise, 'cause we love kick-butt chicks and it's excellent casting for you to play Uma's daughter."

"And you can fight my daughter! And then Uma can be in the background talking about throwing blows on it. All right, I think that's excellent casting."

Fun Fact: 'Hunger Games' star Amandla Stenberg has already thrown her hat in the ring to play Viv's daughter!

There is one pretty big hurdle ... Quentin isn't working on part 3 and hasn't announced any plans to do so in the near future.

But, Fox has a message for him too -- "It's been 15 years, so Quentin come on back, all right?!"

Jack Osbourne I'm Not Paying My Wife Alimony

Published | Updated

8/16 -- TMZ has learned the divorce has already settled, and the reason Jack's lawyer checked the box denying Lisa spousal support is that they agreed she'd get an upfront cash payout in lieu of spousal support.

Jack Osbourne has filed his response to his wife's divorce petition, and it seems there's a conflict ... at the very least, over spousal support.

Jack is asking the judge to deny Lisa any such support. He's down with her request to give them joint custody of the 3 kids.

He wants Lisa to foot the bill for her lawyers, but she's asking that Jack pay.

As we reported ... Lisa filed for divorce back in May after 5 and a half years of marriage.

Jack and Lisa got married in October 2012 with a small ceremony of less than 50 guests in Hawaii. They tied the knot after just 4 months of dating.

We broke the story ... Jack showed up to Lisa's house late last month and allegedly punched her boyfriend in the head. No one wanted to press charges.

Porn Awards AVN Awards So White ... And It's Gotta Change

LEAGUE OF OUR OWN

The Urban X Awards -- a show that honors black porn performers -- is just a few days away ... but the main ticket, The AVN Awards, remains almost totally dominated by white people.

This year's AVNs had about 20 main categories, and almost every category -- with the exception of the Best Comedy, "Jews Love Black C**k" -- was won by white actors or a predominantly white cast. Even the award for Most Epic Ass was taken home by a white chick.

Van Lathan tackled the issue head-on during this week's episode of his podcast, 'The Red Pill' with black porn legend Nat Turnher.

Turnher certainly agrees, #AVNsSoWhite holds a hell of a lotta truth ... but he's got his mind on cash, not plaques.

With such a switch in Hollywood award shows over the last year to include people of color ... it's time for the AVNs to take note.

'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans Cleared in Child Abuse Criminal Investigation

Published | Updated

Jenelle Evans has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing in a child abuse investigation ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Jenelle's baby daddy, Nathan, triggered the investigation by telling cops their son, Kaiser, would repeatedly come to his house with bruises. Nathan thought the bruises were at the hands of Jenelle's husband, David Eason.

Social workers from the Dept. of Social Services visited Jenelle's home late last month and determined there was no abuse. We don't know how they determined the nature and cause of the bruises.

We've learned the Columbus County Sheriff's Office has just cleared both Jenelle and David of any impropriety.

When Nathan filed the police report, he also tried to wrestle custody away from Jenelle and refused to return Kaiser to her, but that was short-lived ... authorities ordered him to return the child to his mother.

It's not the first time this summer Jenelle has been involved in family controversy. Just last month, Jenelle brandished a handgun in a road rage incident with her other son riding shotgun.

XXXTentacion Murder Suspect Begs Judge to Let Him Outta Jail ... My Fiancée's Pregnant!!

Published | Updated

One of the suspects in XXXTentacion's murder case is swinging for the fences ... trying to convince the judge to let him outta jail, despite being indicted for first degree murder.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Robert Allen wants the judge to allow him to post bail because he claims there's no proof he committed a crime. He wants the judge to let him out until the trial so he can take care of his pregnant fiancée.

Allen also says if he's let out, he'll go back to work for a lawn care business in Broward County where he says he's lived his entire life with his mom. Allen, along with the 3 other suspects, remains in custody.

As we reported ... Allen was the third of four murder suspects arrested in July after he was tracked down in Georgia. Allen was the guy who was originally named a person of interest in the killing because he was caught on surveillance video at the motorcycle dealership moments before XXX was gunned down.

50 Cent & Tekashi69 Gunfire On Music Video Set

Published | Updated

Tekashi69 and 50 Cent were in harm's way during the filming of a music video, when someone opened fire.

Witnesses say someone in a white Porsche with New Jersey license plates fired at least 11 shots during filming in Brooklyn Tuesday at around 10:30 PM. Based on the shell casings it appears the shooter use a 9 mm semi-automatic weapon. No one was hit.

Tekashi and 50 were on set at the time of the shooting, along with Casanova and Uncle Murda. Sources connected to the situation believe the shooter wasn't targeting any of the rappers, but law enforcement sources aren't so sure.

Although no one is connecting prior incidents, you may recall earlier this year someone fired shots at Chief Keef, and at the time Keef was beefing with Tekashi. There's no evidence -- at least so far -- that Keef's people were involved in the latest incident.

Cops are reviewing surveillance video, but so far no one has been taken into custody.
