Brad Pitt & Leonardo DiCaprio Oldies But Goodies ... for Tarantino's '60s Flick
Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio (yes, that really is Leo) might not know how to party like it's 1969 but they certainly know how to act like it.
Brad and Leo threw on some groovy outfits to film a scene in Quentin Tarantino's film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" on Monday in L.A. Brad looked dashing as ever ... rocking a white denim top and bottom with some brown boots. Slick finish with a black t-shirt. Leo, on the other hand, was unrecognizable.
For starters, Leo's rocking sideburns and a mop top hairstyle ... completing the '60s look with pink pants and a vintage polo shirt. Leo's playing Rick Dalton, a has-been western TV star who lives next to Sharon Tate. Brad plays Cliff Booth ... Leo's character's stunt double.
As you know ... the movie stars Margot Robbie playing Tate, who was brutally murdered by members of the Charles Manson family in 1969 while she was pregnant with Roman Polanski's child.
As we reported ... Debra Tate Sharon's sister was PISSED Leo and Brad accepted the starring roles but she came around after visiting the set and jawboning with Tarantino.

Katt Williams Managers' Decision Got Me Busted ... Picked Emmys Over Court!!!
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 3 shares
Katt Williams' handlers wanted him to get some shine at the Emmys so badly, they kept him in the dark about a scheduled court date -- a decision that blew up in Katt's face with his weekend arrest.
Sources close to the comedian tell TMZ ... Williams' management team didn't tell him he was due in an Atlanta courtroom at the same time he was flying to L.A. last month to attend the Emmys. Yes, Katt was nominated for his role on the hit show "Atlanta," and he ended up winning.
However, we're told Katt's making it clear he would've picked going to court over the award show if anyone on his team had bothered to let him know what was at stake. When Katt no-showed for court, the judge issued a warrant for his arrest.
Our sources say Katt never even knew about the warrant until he got busted in Oregon for allegedly assaulting his driver. He remains in a Portland jail, and no decision's been made yet on extradition.
Bottom line -- Katt feels like he's paying the price for his team choosing lady Emmy over Lady Justice.

Ronda Rousey Double-Crossed By Bella Twins ... Beatdown On 'Raw'
Ronda Rousey knows how John Cena feels -- because she got straight-up blindsided by Nikki Bella on Monday night ... and got her ass kicked in the process.
Rousey and the Bella Twins were part of a 6-way tag team match against the Riott Squad on "WWE Raw" in Chicago ... and things were going great, until Rousey got double-crossed.
After the ref had raised their hands in victory, Nikki hit Ronda with a clothesline from behind ... knocking her to the ground.
Brie Bella then rushed over and continued the beatdown -- stomping her out and throwing her into the steel ring stairs.
Yeah, we know ... fake (blah, blah, blah) -- but watch the video, Ronda's body took some real damage here.
So, what happens next?
Revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge.
Ronda faces Nikki Bella with her title on the line at "WWE Evolution" later this month.

French Montana Here's Why I Bailed a Woman Out of Jail ... In My Hometown
French Montana isn't trying to fix the criminal justice system by himself, but says he still wants to do his part ... which is why he bailed a woman out of jail who couldn't afford it.
We got French Monday in NYC shortly after he posted bail for a woman in the Bronx who couldn't put up the money. He tells us poverty isn't a crime, and just because you can't afford to get out of a cage doesn't mean you should be in one.
He teamed up with Global Citizen, Revolve Impact, The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Org and Mass Bail Out, an org focused on this cause, but French told us this is very personal for him ... revealing how the cash bail system has affected some of his close friends.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
If it sounds like French is taking a page out of Kim Kardashian West's playbook -- dedicating himself to prison reform -- he says absolutely, because if he didn't ... he'd just be a rapper with a mic.
His ultimate goal, though, is inspiring the next wave of leaders. Here's hoping they're listening.

Antonio Brown Sued Allegedly Nearly Killed Toddler In Furniture Smashing Rage

EXCLUSIVE
- 3 shares
Antonio Brown went into a violent rage back in April and threw a bunch of furniture off the balcony of his 14th story apartment nearly killing a 22-month-old toddler ... so says a lawsuit obtained by TMZ Sports.
The Pittsburgh Steelers star WR has been sued by Ophir Sternberg -- who claims his 22-month-old son was walking around the pool at a high-end apartment complex with his grandfather when suddenly "large objects started to fall from the building many floors above them."
Sternberg claims the items included 2 very large vases, a heavy ottoman and other pieces of furniture -- which landed within a mere foot or 2 from the toddler and his grandfather.
One of the vases shattered when it hit the ground, the lawsuit says.
Security and police were called to the scene and determined the items came from Brown's place -- and the whole thing was captured on surveillance video.
Sternberg claims "Mr. Brown was extremely agitated, acting aggressively, and yelling at security personnel when [police] arrived to the scene."
Brown also caused extensive damage to his own unit "in a fit of rage," the lawsuit says.
Sternberg claims his child was terrified and traumatized by the incident -- he has night terrors -- and he's lucky he wasn't killed or severely injured.
He's suing for assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress -- claiming Brown acted "without regard for human life."
We've reached out to Brown's rep for comment -- so far, no word back.

Caitlyn Jenner Trans Community Got It Wrong ... She Didn't Vote for Trump
Caitlyn Jenner is being treated more harshly by her own, transgender community than the general public because they think she voted for Donald Trump ... but she didn't, according to her partner.
Sophia Hutchins says a few leaders in the trans community have poisoned them against Caitlyn, and the media just stoked the coals.
Sophia, who sat for an interview with Jim Breslo on his podcast, "Hidden Truth," didn't reconcile something her partner told Diane Sawyer ... that she voted for Trump.
Caitlyn Jenner's "Deal Breaker" with the Republican party. The @ABC exclusive with @Caitlyn_Jenner airs 10/9c Friday https://t.co/DL4XKcEPeR pic.twitter.com/GhGIvnndhY
@ABC2020
Sophia says Caitlyn has had a hard time winning over the trans community, in part because they unfairly view her as unrelatable because she lives a privileged life. She blasts the media for telling untruths about her partner ... blasts them hard.
Sophia has long been an LGBTQ activist ... noting, when she was at college at the Christian school Pepperdine University, she fought the administration to get an LGBTQ club on campus. It rankles her that the media reduces her to being "a model."

The Situation I'm Gonna Ball Out With My Wife ... When I Get Outta Prison
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is planning on a life of luxury when he gets home from prison ... Exhibit A -- his wedding registry.
The Situation is marrying college sweetheart Lauren Pesce, November 1 (he has 60 days to turn himself in) and they're asking friends and family to spare no expense when it comes to wedding gifts.
Only the best for Mike when he's done with his 8-month sentence for tax evasion ... the Sorrentinos want a $550 blender, $500 juicer, $380 dutch oven, $375 knife set and $180 pasta press ... 'cause he'll be tired of those cheap prison meals by the time he's a free man again.
The Sitch is probably dreading his jail cot ... but there's light at the end of the tunnel, because he and Lauren are asking for a $673 down comforter and $379 ivory sheepskin rug. Super comfy.
No more mopping floors when he gets home either ... they want a $300 robot to mop and a $400 robot to vacuum.
And, if you splurge on the $150 flatware sets (they want 3), don't expect the newlyweds to use any of it to prepare an avocado ... no, they need a special tool for those pesky fruits.

Amber Rose Dating Tyga's BFF ... Tyga, Blac Chyna Approve
Amber Rose was spotted smooching Tyga's best friend at her 4th annual SlutWalk this weekend -- and the new couple could mean more run-ins for Tyga and Blac Chyna.
Sources tell us Amber is dating Def Jam Records' Vice President of A&R Alexander 'AE' Edwards, who we're told she's been seeing for a few weeks now ... but she's known him since Tyga and Blac Chyna were together few years back.
We're told Tyga and BC both approve of their respective friends banging -- but don't hold your breath for a double date. It'd take more than this for Chyna and Tyga to reunite.
Remember, Chyna and Amber have been super tight since Chyna and Tyga split a few years ago. We're told the ladies had a little spat this weekend -- unrelated to Amber's new bf -- but they've already squashed it.
While Chyna and Tyga won't be dating ... we're told it's very possible their paths will cross more often now, due to Amber and AE.
BTW, if you're wondering what happened to Amber's NBA boyfriend, Monte Morris -- we're told she dumped his ass. So much for committing to an exclusive relationship.

UFC's Derick Lewis Conor McGregor Should Retire ... Take the Money and Run!
Forget legacy, Conor McGregor should quit fighting and retire already ... so says UFC star Derrick Lewis.
The Black Beast joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) and said Conor doesn't have anything to prove anymore and he's made so much money fighting, he should step away from the Octagon and enjoy the rest of his life.
"He made life-changing money," Lewis says ... "He really don't have to fight."
"I'm fighting just so I can take care of my family. I don't fight just because I love it just that much. I'm fighting because it's a job for me."
In fact, Lewis says if he made a $50 million payday for a fight like Conor, he'd cut off everyone and disappear.
"I'll probably even get a divorce then," Lewis joked.
Of course, Conor probably won't take Derrick's advice -- he recently signed a 6-fight deal with the UFC and says he's got a bunch of guys he wants to fight before he hangs it up for good.

President Trump Stay Outta Politics, Taylor Swift!!! Likes Her Music '25% Less'
It's official ... President Trump's got "Bad Blood" with Taylor Swift ... 'cause he just took a shot at her, responding to her diss of a Republican Congresswoman.
Trump was on the South Lawn Monday afternoon when he was asked about Taylor's foray into politics. Check it out ... about a minute-and-a-half into the vid, he turns to the camera, with a sly grin, and proceeds to rip Taylor ... saying she's clueless about the Congressional race in Tennessee. Then he drops a parting shot at her music and her poll numbers ... at least in the White House.
ICYMI ... Taylor announced she's voting for 2 Democrats in the Volunteer State, and blasted the voting record of Rep. Marsha Blackburn ... who's running for Senate.
One of Trump's most vocal supporters, Judge Jeanine Pirro, also offered Taylor some advice ... which sounded like it was taken straight outta Laura Ingraham's playbook.
On the other hand, comedian D.L. Hughley gave Taylor props for taking a stand. And, if you're wondering, he says hell yeah a singer can make a difference in a red state like Tennessee. As he put it, anything's possible when a game show host can become Prez.

Lil Wayne Someone Say Shots Fired? Watch Me Make a Clean Getaway!!!
Lil Wayne was NOT about to wait around to figure out whether shots had really been fired at his concert this weekend -- he assumed it happened, and got the hell OUT of Dodge.
TMZ got this video of Wayne being whisked away backstage, toward the end of Sunday night's severely shortened A3C Fest set. Someone allegedly yelled out "shots fired!" and caused a panic. As you can see ... Weezy was no different from fans at the show, rushing downstairs off the stage and straight into his waiting SUV, not taking any chances.
A3C LIL WAYNE CONCERT SHOOTOUT. pic.twitter.com/WAaOA2U6P4
@KeatsTheGeek
Can't blame Weezy for hauling ass. Remember, his tour bus was shot up in the Atlanta area back in 2015, so it makes sense his team was ready to bolt. The scene out on the festival grounds was just as chaotic with everyone in GTFO mode.
As we reported ... several concertgoers were trampled in the stampede. All in all, about a dozen people were injured with minor injuries, some of which required medical attention.
Cops say there's no evidence shots were ever fired at the event.

Dana White Khabib Could Be Fined $2 Mil ... For UFC 229 Brawl
Dana White says the Nevada State Athletic Commission is talking about keeping Khabib Nurmagomedov's entire fight purse from UFC 229 -- $2 MILLION -- over the post-fight brawl.
"They took his whole purse right now and they're talking about keeping his purse," the UFC honcho said on "TMZ Live."
"You should not be able to keep his whole purse."
Dana is referring to the post-fight melee at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas -- when Khabib choked out Conor McGregor and then jumped out of the Octagon to fight Conor's teammate, Dillon Danis.
A brawl ensued and cops rushed in to break things up.
Now, White says NSAC will undoubtedly hit Khabib with a fine -- but it should be closer to $250,000 ... not $2 MILLION.
White says he also thinks Khabib will get suspended -- and believes he deserves to be shelved for 4 to 6 months.
It's possible White could go around the Commission and book Khabib to fight outside the United States -- but Dana made it clear UFC will NOT do that. They will stand behind whatever suspension is doled out.
White also explains the difference between Conor's bus attack incident in New York and Khabib's crowd attack in Nevada -- and why it will be treated differently by the two governing boards.
As for Conor's fighting future -- Dana says he's still figuring that out ... but clearly likes the idea of Tony Ferguson being in the mix.
Dana also mentioned pay-per-view numbers for UFC 229 -- saying it didn't crack 3 million but did well over 2 million ... making it the top UFC PPV of all time.
