Chris Martin & Dakota Johnson Throw Gender Reveal Party ... But, Rep Says Not Their Baby

12:50 PM PT -- Dakota's rep tells us she is NOT pregnant, and they were just throwing a birthday party. The rep did not say what the deal was with the pink and blue balloons.
Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are having a baby, and the timing of their gender reveal party is pretty interesting ... considering what Chris' ex just celebrated.
Chris and Dakota, who've been dating for about a year, had a party at his place on Sunday, and photos and video from the event make it clear what they were celebrating.
Blue and pink balloons were tied down in arches ... as their celeb friends arrived. Dakota's folks -- Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson -- walked in, along with Sean Penn and Julia Roberts.
Looks like Don was last to arrive ... because about 10 minutes after he got there, the string of blue balloons were released into the sky. So, all signs point to them having a boy, unless someone screwed up the release.
Chris' big baby news came one week after Gwyneth Paltrow tied the knot with her new guy, Brad Falchuk. Chris didn't attend their wedding ... he was performing at the Global Citizen Festival in NYC, and Dakota was there with him.
Interesting, when Dakota walked onstage she was wearing a very baggy outfit and overcoat. Little did we know, she had a baby on board.

Dillon Danis Denies Hurling Muslim Slur at Khabib
1:37 PM PT -- Dillon's team tells TMZ Sports ... Dillon absolutely did NOT fire the slur at Khabib -- saying the witness we spoke with is dead wrong.
For the record, we spoke with multiple groups of people who were sitting very close to Danis who insist they heard him shouting insults at Khabib.
But Dillon's is adamant the "f**king Muslim rat" line did not come from Danis.
Conor McGregor's teammate, Dillon Danis, called Khabib Nurmagomedov a "f**king Muslim rat" during the main event at UFC 229 -- and that's what set him off ... a ringside witness tells TMZ Sports.
We spoke with a fan who was sitting in spitting distance from Danis during the fight -- and we're told Danis was running his mouth throughout most of the fight.
There was a moment between the 2nd and 3rd rounds when Khabib shot a death stare right at Dillon, according to our witness who says it was obvious Khabib heard at least some of the insults.
But, we're told the final straw was the Muslim insult that Danis hurled toward the end of the fight.
Khabib threw his mouthpiece at Dillon and then jumped out of the cage to attack him in the stands.
9/20/18
Of course, Conor has been calling Khabib a "rat" for weeks -- and mocking Khabib's religion in public ... so, it was pretty much par for the course for Team McGregor.
The reality is ... the constant verbal attacks have been building for weeks and Khabib wanted to make a point.

John Mayer We Need a New 'Male Contract' ... Screw This Alpha Male BS
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 1 shares
John Mayer wants to can the idea that men must be alpha males and take what they want -- including women -- and replace it with a new doctrine focused on respect and sensitivity.
The guitar-slinging crooner was doing a cancer benefit show Sunday night at the Modell Performing Arts Center in Baltimore when he went off on a tangent about toxic masculinity, which he called a "bulls**t" alpha male contract that's nailed into boys' heads from a young age.
He says the sentiment that a man should get an erection at the sight of every woman he wants is crap. John added the so-called "trauma" men might feel when a woman turns them down ... is something men just have to get over.
His new idea on how to raise boys ... teach 'em that the world isn't theirs, and they're not definitely not entitled to every woman. It's worth noting this rant came right after John performed "Daughters."
He never calls him by name, but it's pretty clear John's referring to newly sworn-in Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
There was some awkward silence as he made his point, but eventual applause once he got it all out. He later apologized for talking about such a sensitive subject during the concert.

Ryan Lochte Car Crash 911 Call 'I Rear-Ended the People In Front of Me'
Ryan Lochte called 911 on himself to report a late-night car crash in which he slammed his Porsche into another car ... and TMZ Sports has the recording.
"Um, yeah ... I would like to ummm, yeah ... we just got in an accident," the Olympic swimmer told the operator.
"I rear-ended the people in front of me."
TMZ Sports broke the story ... Lochte was driving in Gainesville, FL Thursday at around 9:45 PM when he rear-ended a car ... hours after he drunkenly kicked in a door at a hotel in Newport Beach.
During the call, Lochte initially tells the operator he doesn't think anyone is injured -- but then changes his answer a few times. He's unsure.
But, we know the driver of the car Lochte hit was taken by ambulance to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Lochte was okay and cited for "careless driving." There's no mention of alcohol in the police report.
Lochte had just flown to Florida after the booze-fueled incident in Newport Beach, CA.
His lawyer, Jeff Ostrow, said the swimmer has now acknowledged he has an alcohol problem and plans to get treatment.

Cardi B & Offset Back in Strip Club ... Throwing Cash Not Fists, This Time
Slow clap for Cardi B and Offset -- they're back making it rain on strippers, and this time no drinks or fists were thrown.
The couple headed back to a strip club, Crazy Girls, Sunday night in L.A. ... smacking butts instead of bartenders. It was their first time in a gentlemen's establishment, that we've seen anyway, since Cardi's last visit. Ya know, the one that got her arrested and charged with assault for allegedly ordering a beatdown on strip club bartenders.
Offset was armed with a seemingly endless stack of Washingtons in their VIP section ... and Cardi even got on a pole and started twerking for her man. What's that thing about old habits?
Smart move on Offset's part -- everyone knows the dancers give you way more attention when you have a female companion. Just take a note from Offset, and get ya girl some roses while you're at it.

Lil Wayne Concert Ends After Someone Screams 'Shots Fired'
A Lil Wayne concert in Atlanta erupted into pandemonium Sunday night after someone in the crowd screamed, "shots fired!"

@KeatsTheGeek
Several people were trampled during the stampede. In all, about a dozen people suffered minor injuries.
Cops say there was no evidence of shots fired.
There's a reason this alarm triggered such panic ... you'll recall, Wayne's bus was shot up back in 2015.

Bethenny Frankel Major PDA Weekend With New Mystery Man!!!
Bethenny Frankel has a new man in her life -- a couple months after her BF, Dennis Shields, died of an apparent overdose.
TMZ obtained these shots of Bethenny holding hands Sunday with a mystery man in Boston -- and on Monday morning there was even more PDA ... as in a full make-out session near Boston College.
It's unclear who he is or what they're doing in Beantown but, based on the grip they've got on each other ... it's looking serious.
As we reported ... Bethenny's on-again, off-again BF, Dennis, was found dead of a suspected overdose nearly 60 days ago at his Trump Tower apartment. She said her final goodbyes a few days after Dennis died.
Moving on's never easy, but good for Bethenny if she's finding her way.

Elon Musk Epic Rocket Launch ... Booster Sticks Landing!!!
Another milestone for Elon Musk, as the SpaceX CEO launched a satellite into space and successfully landed the rocket booster on solid ground at its California launch site in a visually stunning mission carried out over Los Angeles.
The amazing video delighted onlookers, and surprised those who were unaware of the launch ... nope, not a UFO. Sorry!
You see the Falcon 9 rocket soaring through the sky, leaving behind a beautiful trail of light ... that's when the first-stage booster (on the right) separates and heads back towards Earth as another rocket continues boosting the satellite into space.
It's the first time SpaceX has landed a first-stage booster on the West Coast ... they've previously flown rockets back to land in Florida, and on barges in the Pacific Ocean. The rocket will be reused, saving SpaceX tons of money.
No word on if Elon celebrated with a joint.

Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin Planting Roots Again in La La Land It's Gonna Co$t a Ton!!!
Justin Bieber has commitment issues ... when it comes to buying a crib in L.A. 'cause we've learned he's chosen the renter's life, at least for now.
Sources tell TMZ ... Justin just signed a lease to rent a nearly 6,000 square foot crib in the San Fernando Valley, and it wasn't cheap -- he'll shell out nearly $100k per month.
We're told Justin's sorta kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place -- he doesn't wanna live in a ritzy hotel anymore, but he's not exactly ready to plunk down a ton of cash to buy a place in L.A.
We're told Justin wanted to have a steady place to live when he's in Tinseltown with his new wife (sorry, God) Hailey Baldwin. As far as the crib goes ... the 4 bedroom, 7 bathroom Mediterranean-style house is newly renovated and it features lake-front views.
Justin and lake views ... it's kinda his thing.

Wiz Khalifa Don't Punish Khabib for Attack Now Lemme Go Get High!!
Wiz Khalifa says punishing Khabib Nurmagomedov for attacking Conor McGregor's jiu-jitsu coach would be the height of hypocrisy -- it's just fighters being fighters.
We got the rapper at LAX Sunday, and he was still hyped after the UFC 229 insanity -- Khabib smoking Conor in the Octagon, and then sparking a massive post-fight brawl by going after Conor's jiu-jitsu coach, Dillon Danis.
Wiz says if Conor didn't get punished for the bus attack at Barclays Center back in April ... then Khabib also deserves a pass.
However, he does think one thing has to change ... and that's the level of trash talking before bouts. Sounds like he thinks the post-fight brawl was inevitable due to the things said leading up to UFC 229. Wiz says it's on the UFC to get a handle on this.
You gotta see how Wiz ended our convo -- let's just say he had higher priorities!

Kourtney Kardashian Likes 'Em Young ... Double Dating With Kendall
Kourtney Kardashian is getting back into the dating scene ... and robbing the cradle!
Kourtney is hanging out again with 20-year-old Luka Sabbat, taking him to Soho House in Malibu for a double date with Kendall Jenner and Anwar Hadid ... and she looks totally at ease despite a nearly two-decade age difference!
Looks like Kourtney is test-driving a newer model after dumping that old dude Younes Bendjima ... 24? That's too old!
You might recognize Luka from "Grown-ish" ... and he's been spotted with Kourtney a few times.
Apparently, Kendall learned from big sis ... 'cause Anwar's only 19.
Hey, if Scott Disick can date a 20-year old, why can't Kourtney?

UFC 229 New Angle of Khabib Attacking ... From Ground Floor
As wild as it was to watch Khabib Nurmagomedov jump out of the Octagon to attack Conor McGregor's training teammate on TV, it's even crazier with this angle from the ground floor.
TMZ has obtained footage that captured the insane moment Khabib -- who'd just defeated Conor for the lightweight belt -- hopped over the cage and try to fight Dillon Danis. This is a clear shot of the action ... and it gives you a sense of how chaotic it was on the ground level.
Tons of people -- including metro police -- immediately rushed in to break up the fight, and Khabib is quickly dragged away screaming. You also see Conor try to rush out as well and get into it with Khabib's teammate, before getting rushed himself by another guy in Khabib's camp.
Khabib later apologized for the incident, but it's unclear what punishment -- if any -- he may face for setting off the massive brawl.

Cardi B Princess Kulture Gets a Throne ... Take One Sparkly Seat!!!

If the crystal shoe fits, Cardi B's baby is gonna wear it, along with her own blinged-out mini throne ... TMZ has learned.
Baby Kulture recently got a baby rocking chair as well as a super fancy pair of baby shoes as gift from Sony, Cardi's record label. Sources tell us the chair is covered with nearly 26,000 rhinestones and is valued at $1,500.
Of course, Kulture will be rocking bloody shoes -- expensive and red-bottomed, featuring 1,450 Swarovski crystals. They run about $200.
We're told Sony reached out to Angela's Fantasy Creations about a month ago to commission the pieces, which they wanted to give to Cardi as a gift after she gave birth. The chair took the full month to create, but the shoes were made within a day.
The chair has Kulture Kiari Cephus' initials inscribed in rhinestones. Our sources say the baby shoes were a bonus gift, suggested by AFC.
At only 3 months old, KKC won't be able to use the chair or shoes for a minute -- but soon enough, the kid can take a royal seat.

Floyd Mayweather 'Deadly Serious' About Pacquiao Fight ... Says Showtime Honcho
How serious is Floyd Mayweather about running it back one mo' gin with Manny Pacquiao?
According to the top guy at Showtime Sports, he's serious as a heart attack ... as in DEADLY SERIOUS.
TMZ Sports talked to Stephen Espinoza -- Prez of programming for Showtime Sports (and Conor McGregor's archnemesis) -- about the proposed rematch, and if would ever ACTUALLY happen.
"Having spoken to Floyd, I know he's deadly serious about it. He's very, very serious about wanting the fight."
The first one was a PPV record setter, and although there are a ton of people that wonder if this one would be as big (basically, some people don't care) ... Espinoza says next year, it's LIT.
"2019 sounds perfect. After I get a little bit of sleep after this event, we'll go at Mayweather/Pacquiao 2, I think."
That's if no one breaks a hip first (they're old as hell).

Method Man & Redman Smoke And Run ... Absent In 'How High 2'

EXCLUSIVE

Method Man and Redman are passing the blunt and leaving the rotation ... 'cause we're told the rappers won't be appearing in the "How High" sequel.
Sources close to "How High 2" tell TMZ ... the hip-hop duo wasn't cast in the made-for-TV movie after starring in the original stoner comedy.
We're told the sequel is going to be fundamentally different from the OG version -- think sativa vs. indica -- because it's for a television PG-13 audience, and weed legalization has made strides since 2001, when Meth and Red blazed their way through Harvard.
Filming began last week in Atlanta and, as we reported ... Lil Yachty and DC Young Fly are the franchise's new stars.
Meth and Red are MIA -- probably ripping a bong somewhere -- but one of the original producers, Shauna Garr, is returning.
Don't write off Meth and Red just yet ... we're told there's always a chance the duo changes course and makes a cameo in the sequel, or in a potential trilogy.
One more puff wouldn't hurt, right?

The web of celeb burglaries just got a little more tangled -- one of the 4 people arrested for hitting Rihanna's crib had also been busted for a Chief Keef home invasion where shots were fired.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... 19-year-old Jshawne Daniels was nabbed by cops after hitting Keef's crib in the San Fernando Valley on Sept. 23. As we first reported, one round was fired before arresting 2 suspects, and a third got away.
We're told Daniels runs with the same crew that hit Yasiel Puig on Sept. 18. Days after the Keef incident, cops say different members of that same crew hit RiRi and Rams star Robert Woods.
We broke the story ... the 4 suspects taken into custody had a list of a dozen more stars they were targeting ... including LeBron James, Viola Davis and Matt Damon.
