Joseph Baena Like Father, Like Son ... Pumpin' Hard in the Gym!!!
Joseph Baena's channeling his inner Mr. Universe ... with a weightlifting routine that would make his old man proud.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's son was at the gym Wednesday, and flaunted his muscles in a short vid of himself jacking up 120 lb. dumbbells on the incline press ... 4 times.
Baena doesn't quite have the bodybuilder bod yet ... but he's getting there. He's looking even more shredded than when we saw him with his smokin' hot GF around the Fourth of July.
And, speaking of Mr. Universe ... Arnold -- the winner of the 1969 competition -- JUST got reunited with his 1st place trophy a couple weeks ago after it went missing for decades.
Things are looking up for father and son.

EXCLUSIVE

Katharine McPhee and David Foster were so impressed with a wedding they witnessed from their hotel balcony ... they went down and joined the celebration.
The bride, Whitney Madian, says she and her husband, Shant, got married at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel in Victoria, Canada Saturday, where Katharine and David were also staying.
Whitney tells us, after their ceremony, she saw the 2 signing their guest book at the reception -- weird, huh? So she approached them, and they ended up chatting for about 5 minutes.
Madian says McPhee and Foster told her they watched her walk down the aisle from their balcony and that her wedding was "beautiful." She also tells us she and Katharine compared rings ... and Kat really liked hers.
It's interesting ... McPhee doesn't like to show off her rock to just anyone, but she clearly made an exception for the bride.
We broke the story ... David popped the question to Kat earlier this summer while they were on a European vacay, and she said yes. It's unclear when they're tying the knot, but maybe now they'll have some extra inspiration.

Danny Glover Here's What They Should Sing ... At Aretha's Funeral
Danny Glover says he's got the perfect tune to sing at Aretha Franklin's funeral -- it's a gospel classic, but it doesn't appear to be one the Queen of Soul covered herself.
We got the "Lethal Weapon" star Wednesday at The Palm in Bev Hills and asked what should be performed Friday by the star-studded lineup -- which will feature Ariana Grande, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, Faith Hill and others.
Danny's hoping to hear someone belt out a tune which served as both the lead single and title of the 1983 album "Peace Be Still" ... by gospel singer Vanessa Bell Armstrong.
It's been covered by lots of people but it doesn't appear Aretha ever recorded it for an album -- but some critics have described Vanessa's performance of it as Aretha-esque.
We're guessing the Queen's performed it live at some point in her illustrious career, especially because she got her start in gospel.
Speaking of that body of work, Danny says he's been playing Aretha radio nonstop since her death a couple weeks ago. Can't blame him -- some of the best music ever from the greatest voice.

NFL's Greg Lloyd Arrested Allegedly Threatened Wife w/ Gun, Denies Allegations
Ex-NFL star Greg Lloyd was arrested in Georgia after allegedly pulling a gun on his wife and threatening to shoot her during a domestic dispute, but Greg vehemently denies the allegations.
According to official documents -- obtained by TMZ Sports -- Greg's wife, Stephanie Lloyd, told police ... the ex-Steelers linebacker pointed a gun at her at their home on July 20, and "told me that if I f**k up I'm going to get one."
Stephanie says she managed to get in her car and leave the house -- but Greg called her on the phone and continued making threats.
"Doing stupid sh*t like this is how you end up in the morgue," Greg allegedly said.
Stephanie claims Greg insisted his gun was not loaded -- but she's scared nonetheless.
Stephanie filed for a restraining order against Greg, saying, "I have battled all types of abuse from my husband for years hoping that things would at some point get better ... I do not feel safe anymore."
Stephanie claims Greg "has a history of pointing guns at other people but this is the first time for me."
Court records show Lloyd was convicted of pointing a gun at another person back in the early 2000s. We're working on the details from that case.
53-year-old Lloyd was arrested on July 27, 2018 for felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor pointing a gun at another person, according to official records. He was released 3 days later.
Court docs also show Stephanie's restraining order was granted -- and Greg has been ordered to stay at least 200 yards away from her until August 2019.
We spoke with Lloyd, who denies any wrongdoing ... and says he'll let due process take its course.
Lloyd was a stud linebacker back in the '90s -- a 5-time Pro Bowler, 3-time All-Pro and was named to the Steelers' All-Time Team.

Cynthia Nixon Trades Blows with Governor Cuomo ... 'Stop Lying!'
Cynthia Nixon and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo held nothing back in a nasty debate for the Democratic seat in the state's race for governor.
Nixon and Cuomo squared off Wednesday night -- at Hofstra University -- in the only debate scheduled before New York's Democratic primary September 13. Two topics in particular got the two trading jabs ... immigration and public transportation.
At one point, Gov. Cuomo flat-out yelled at the former "Sex and The City" star, asking her to stop interrupting. However, the shining jab came from Nixon who dished an insult calling Cuomo a liar.
Nixon announced her candidacy back in March on a platform that's focused on public transport and immigration.
The actress has consistently trailed Cuomo in the polls -- most recently, he held a 30 point lead -- but if one thing's for sure ... the power of TV can change an entire political landscape.

Lil Pump Busted and Cuffed by Miami PD ... For No Driver's License
7:54 PM PT -- Pump has been released from custody. A source close tells us he was issued a ticket and will not have to appear in court ... it'll be handled by his legal team.
3:42 PM PT -- According to the police report -- obtained by TMZ -- officers initiated the stop after discovering the license plate on Pump's Rolls-Royce actually belonged to a Mini Cooper. When cops asked Pump for a driver's license, he allegedly told them he'd never had one.
Lil Pump's been arrested in Miami, and TMZ got pics of him in handcuffs during the bust, and his grinning mug shot after he was taken into custody.
Witnesses tell us the "Drug Addicts" rapper was pulled over Wednesday afternoon while driving a black Rolls-Royce -- and, according to law enforcement, it's because of an issue with his driver's license.
His Miami-Dade County Jail booking sheet says he doesn't have a valid license. He's currently still in custody.
We broke the story ... Pump was also arrested earlier this year for firing a gun into the door of his L.A.-area home. He originally claimed intruders fired from the outside, but cops quickly realized the rapper was the shooter ... and there were no intruders.
Pump was taken to a juvenile detention center because he was 17 at the time. He turned 18 a couple weeks ago.
Happy birthday?

Sen. Lindsey Graham All Politicians Need to Do Better To Honor John McCain
Sen. Lindsey Graham can't hide his pain over losing John McCain, but says there can be a silver lining ... if politicians, including himself, lead more like his friend did.
Senator Graham was clearly emotional about Sen. McCain's death when we saw him Wednesday at Reagan National. He described himself as McCain's wingman, and said America had lost its "voice of reason."
He added, "I gotta up my game" ... insinuating it was time for elected officials to govern more like the AZ Senator did -- fighting passionately, while respecting the other side.
As for the guy who repeatedly disrespected McCain -- President Trump -- Graham said the administration will be represented at the memorial services ... even if POTUS himself won't be there.

A hacker who exposed nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebs is the one getting nailed now ... by the judge who sentenced him to 8 months in federal prison.
George Garofano illegally hacked the private Apple iCloud accounts of Lawrence, paving the way for nude photos and private info to leak all over the Internet. In addition to his prison time, the judge also hit Garofano with 3 years supervised release once he gets out.
The 26-year-old pled guilty in April and admitted he'd posed as a member of Apple's online security to access usernames and passwords.
Garofano was one of four people charged in the massive celeb hacking scandal, which began in 2014 and saw photos published online claiming to show Jennifer, Kate Upton, Ariana Grande, Kirsten Dunst and others.
The other hackers have already been sentenced, with terms ranging from 9-18 months in prison.

Chaka Khan on Aretha's Funeral Me? Nervous to Perform?? ... Of Course I Am!
This is wild! Chaka Khan -- a 10-time Grammy winner and as well-seasoned a performer as anyone in the biz -- says she's got butterflies about performing at Aretha Franklin's funeral.
We got the iconic funk singer Wednesday as she was heading off to Detroit from LAX to get ready for the Queen of Soul's Friday's funeral service -- which will include performances from Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Faith Hill, Ariana Grande and Chaka herself.
Our camera guy asked if she's nervous to get onstage to honor Aretha, and surprisingly ... she says absolutely! That's saying a lot for someone who's been rocking stages since at least the '70s, if not well before that. Still, even for Chaka ... delivering for Aretha's got her jittery.
She even tells us what song she's going to sing -- and finishes by offering an unofficial invite to the First Family ... should they be inclined to attend.

Tennis' Anne White Serena's Catsuit Ban Is Sexist ... I Would Know!
Ex-pro tennis player Anne White says she knows how Serena Williams feels about the ban on her catsuit at the French Open .. because she went through the exact same thing back in the '80s.
White famously wore a body suit to play in Wimbledon in 1985 -- but was told during the tournament, the suit violated the dress code and she needed to change it or she couldn't continue.
She changed her outfit -- and lost the following match.
White tells TMZ Sports she felt the whole thing was sexist -- "It's kinda crazy that women aren't allowed to wear what they want to work. It's a shame."
Like Serena, Anne says her catsuit was more about function than fashion -- explaining her outfit was intended to keep her warm in the cold weather.
FYI, Serena's catsuit was custom-designed to increase blood circulation in the wake of health issues caused by blot clots.
White tells us ... she's a HUGE fan of Serena and believes tennis officials should change the rules to allow women like Williams to essentially wear whatever they want, especially if there's a legit reason.
There are other critics who think the ban on Serena's catsuit was racially motivated. It seems Anne believes it's not just about black and white ... it's about women still getting the short end of the stick in a "man's world."

Louis C.K. Kills with Rape Whistle Joke During Comeback Gig
Louis C.K. did NOT tread lightly in his first stand-up gig since admitting his sexual misconduct, because he reportedly cracked a joke about rape whistles.
Remember, C.K. copped to dropping his pants and masturbating in front of women ... and even coercing them into keeping silent about it. So, at least 2 female audience members at the Comedy Cellar in NYC were shocked to hear him start a bit about the phrase "clean as a whistle."
The women told Vulture C.K. worked up to a joke about rape whistles NOT being clean, and they say it was very well received -- "people were laughing, and I was just sitting there like, oh my f**k."
They were uncomfortable and depressed that C.K.'s joke had killed ... especially considering the things he's admitted doing.
Marlon Wayans told us he doesn't have any issue with Louis returning to stand-up ... although not everyone in the comedy world agrees.
