Meghan Markle Smiling & Holding On to Her Bump ... Checking in on Fire Victims
Meghan Markle is back at a community kitchen and throwing royal protocol out the window.
The Duchess of Sussex visited the Hubb Community Kitchen at the Al Manaar Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre in West London ... not far from where the Grenfell Tower fire killed 72 people.
Meghan's been making secret trips there since January ... and last September she was there cooking and helping the women release a charity cookbook with their recipes. This time around she abandoned all formality ... kissing and hugging just about everyone while seeing how funds raised from the cookbook have made a difference.
Makes sense she's treating the women there like family ... her involvement was Meghan's first solo project as a member of the Royal Family. Look at her close interactions ... and the baby bump!!

Pusha T Massive Brawl Breaks Out During Toronto Show

Exclusive Details
- 3 shares
11/21 5:21 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us ... shortly after the show ended, a man was rushed to the hospital with serious stab wounds. Although an early investigation determined he was at the music hall Tuesday, it's unclear whether he was involved in the fight onstage or in a separate incident outside of the venue.
We're told the man's injuries are life-threatening and has been in surgery since last night.
This is an active investigation and police are looking for all leads and evidence.
Pusha T's show in Toronto was just interrupted by several people tossing drinks on the stage and then rushing it ... sparking an all-out brawl.
Push was performing at Danforth Music Hall Tuesday night when a flurry of beverages was tossed onstage followed by several men attempting to get up onstage. In a vid of the brawl, you see the rapper run for cover just before the angry crowd could get to him.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Pusha T's security was quick to step in ... and fists started to fly.
A rep for the Toronto Police Department tells us they are currently investigating the altercation. We're told three people were sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries ... and no arrests have been made.
It's likely no coincidence the incident went down in Toronto -- Drake's home city -- the two have a nasty history, trading diss tracks ... including one where Pusha T revealed Drake had fathered a secret son.
Once the crowd was back under control, Push returned to the stage to close out the show, surrounded by security guards.

Paris Jackson Best Roadie GF ... For BF Gabriel Glenn
Paris Jackson can wear two hats at the same time for her boyfriend, Gabriel Glenn -- that of supportive girlfriend ... and, of course, the steadfast groupie roadie.
Michael Jackson's only daughter was spotted Tuesday night at The Viper Room in Hollywood for a gig Gabriel's band, Trash Dogs, was playing. She definitely wasn't just swooning in the audience though -- Paris was on her knees recording her beau onstage.
Her hard work didn't stop there. Paris was later seen handling some equipment for the band. BTW ... Gabe's the singer and plays guitar.
Fun fact ... Paris and Gabe play in another musical group together called The Soundflowers. They were seen jamming out together in L.A. earlier this summer for a cancer benefit performance, with Paris on the mic and Gabe strumming beside her.
Grandma Katherine was there for that show, and since Gabe's been tight with Paris since at least then ... we're guessing he's met some of the Jackson family already.

Tekashi69 Give Us Cash and Apology, Or Else!!! Booking Agent Threatens
Problems are piling up for Tekashi69 as he sits in prison -- his old booking agents are threatening to sue AND claim the money he's trying to use for bail is cash he owes them.
MTA Booking is pissed at the rapper for making what it calls "malicious" and "defamatory" statements on social media and last week on "The Breakfast Club." MTA fired off a cease and desist letter demanding 6ix9ine retract and apologize publicly ... or it's gonna sue his ass.
MTA says the rapper's allegation it stole a ton of cash from him did serious damage to its reputation, and its booking agents are getting death threats.
That's not all ... a rep for MTA tells us a large portion of the money Tekashi's attorney offered up in court for his bail rightfully belongs to the company. MTA says it's already sent him $860k for deposits on upcoming shows in the U.S., Mexico and Germany. Presumably, he won't be able to perform those shows, so MTA wants that money back.
We're told MTA's working with its legal team to prevent 6ix9ine from using any of that dough for bail.
We broke the story ... Tekashi's been placed in general population at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center -- despite being a potential target for violence -- while he awaits his Wednesday's bail hearing.

Colin Kaepernick Touches Down in Los Angeles ... NFL Ready?
Colin Kaepernick and his girlfriend, Nessa, arrived to Los Angeles late Tuesday night -- which begs the question ... are ya here for business or turkey?
Kap didn't have much to say -- BUT -- you gotta see his reaction when we asked if he's NFL-ready ... one of the big topics that's been debated on social media this week. Colin's smirk says a lot.
Kaepernick and Nessa were cool with fans at LAX -- and even thanked a female fan who told the QB, "I love you so much!"
So, what's next for Colin's football career? Unclear at this point, but Nessa and Carolina Panthers star Eric Reid have insisted Kap is in shape and ready to play if he gets the call.
As we previously reported, Kaepernick is still working out every single day -- lifting, throwing and running.
With quarterbacks like Nathan Peterman -- who's horrible -- getting calls from NFL teams ... many people believe it's proof of NFL collusion.
We spoke with NFL legend Charles Woodson earlier this week who told us he doesn't think CK will get back in the league due to politics ... but thinks he still has the talent to compete at the highest level.

Post Malone Airport PDA with Hot Yacht Chick ... She's a Fly Girl Now!!!
Looks like Post Malone's sticking with his good luck charm -- the chick he was cupcaking on a yacht right after his near-death experience on that private jet ... and ya can't blame him one bit.
We got this shot of Post walking through George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. He was jetting off to Dubai Sunday, and his germ-deflecting surgical mask wasn't all that caught our eye. His cute travel buddy looked real familiar.
When last we saw her, Post was spraying her down and canoodling with her back in August on a yacht off Saint-Tropez. Good times.
Of course, that was one week after his terrifying emergency landing, and shortly before he survived a major car accident. Safe to say, she was the best thing to happen to him this summer.
As for the nature of their relationship -- a source close to Post says airport/yacht babe is just a friend. That may be, but that's a pretty tight grip between friends. Just sayin'.
We reached out to Biz Markie for comment ... no word back.

Fat Joe on Tekashi69 He Told Me Weeks Ago ... Feds Were After Him
Fat Joe says Tekashi69 was in a frantic state of mind just weeks ago ... correctly predicting the feds were gunning for him.
We talked to Joe Tuesday -- right after he wrapped up his Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway in NYC -- and asked him about the ominous warning he gave Tekashi 9 months ago. If ya missed it, Tekashi went on Joe's "Coca Vision" podcast and Joe warned him about catching heat for associating with the wrong crowd.
Fat Joe asked Tekashi, "Can you control your friends? The police tried to set me up so many times ... 1 million percent they are plotting on you." Joe says his prediction played out almost exactly as he feared.
TMZ broke the story ... Tekashi was indicted on 6 federal charges, some of which carry max sentences of life in prison.
Joe tried scaring him straight during the podcast -- bringing up Bobby Shmurda and 7-year prison sentence as a prime example. It appears the chat didn't sink in with Tekashi, so now Joe's warning other rising rappers.

Khabib Down to Box Mayweather After UFC Contract Ends
Khabib Nurmagomedov only has 1 fight left on his UFC contract -- and if that final UFC fight is not a bout with Floyd Mayweather -- he'll schedule it himself when he becomes a free agent.
This is the plan according to Khabib's manager Ali Abdelaziz who says Khabib is still deadly serious about taking on Floyd in the BOXING ring.
Remember, Dana White slammed the door on Khabib boxing Floyd, while he's still under contract with the UFC ... claiming if Floyd wants a piece of the Eagle, it'll be in the Octagon.
Ali tells TMZ Sports ... Khabib will respect Dana's wishes while he's under contract, but, once his deal is up, they're willing to contact Floyd directly and hash out a deal for a 2019 fight date.
If Floyd does agree to an MMA fight, Ali warns the guy to save up for life insurance -- "because he’s not going to be walking anymore. He’s going to be drinking water [through a] straw."
Ali claims he isn't trying to go around Dana -- he wants to work with the UFC -- but clearly feels there's too much money at stake to blow off a potential Mayweather fight.
Floyd previously told us a fight with Khabib would "definitely" score him a 9-figure paycheck -- and Khabib's side would be significant too.

Robert De Niro Calling It Quits!!! ... Splitting From Wife After 20 Years of Marriage
Robert De Niro and his wife, Grace Hightower, are breaking up after more than two decades of marriage.
The split was first reported by Page Six, who say the couple is no longer living together and could publicly announce their split in the coming weeks.
Robert and Grace tied the knot in 1997 after dating for over a decade. They have 2 children together, 20-year-old son Elliot and 6-year-old daughter Helen.
Robert and Grace have been down this road before ... Robert filed for divorce in 1999, two years into their union, but they never went all the way through with it.
The couple instead renewed their wedding vows in 2004, in front of a star-studded crowd including Meryl Streep, Ben Stiller and Martin Scorsese.
Robert and Grace first met in 1987, when she was working at Mr. Chow in London.

Venus Williams Reaches Settlement In Fatal Car Crash
Venus Williams has reached a settlement with the family of the man who died in the Florida car accident she had last year ... TMZ Sports has learned.
According to court docs filed in Palm Beach County, Jerome Barson's estate and the tennis star reached an agreement last week. It's unclear how much money changed hands, but according to the docs there was a financial settlement that will cover certain expenses.
Both sides are paying their own attorneys' fees in the wrongful death suit. TMZ Sports obtained surveillance video showing the brutal accident.
Jerome's wife was driving and he was the passenger in the sedan that T-boned Venus as she drove through a busy Palm Beach Gardens intersection in 2017.
Venus was cleared of criminal charges after cops determined she was "caught in the middle" of the intersection when her light turned red.
The Barsons had a green light and barreled into Venus' SUV. Jerome died from his injuries 14 days after the accident. His wife, Linda, was also injured.

Aloe Blacc I'll Work with Trump on Prison Reform ... IF He's Serious About It
Aloe Blacc says working with President Trump to reform America's prison system is the best path to success, and it's exactly what Martin Luther King Jr. would do.
Aloe's one of more than 50 celebs lobbying to pass the First Step Act, which will eventually require Trump's signature. We asked the singer if it's tough interacting with POTUS, considering his policies and behavior have polarized much of the nation.
Aloe says that's beside the point in this case ... because it's the right move to achieve change for the better. As he put it, "Imagine the people [Dr. Martin Luther King] had to get into rooms with, knowing what side of the fence they were on."
Blacc's point -- whether or not you see eye-to-eye with Trump, he's the man with the "big megaphone" who can help the cause. First Step, organized by CNN host Van Jones, aims to improve the lives of prisoners and shorten mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenses ... among other things.
Prison reform's been in the spotlight this year due, in part, to Kim Kardashian's successful effort to free imprisoned grandmother Alice Marie Johnson.
Other celebs -- like Alyssa Milano, Mark Cuban, Chelsea Handler and Kanye West -- have joined the movement, but Aloe says they need a big assist from Trump, the Senate and citizens like you.

Michael Jordan Dishin' Out Turkey Meals ... to Hurricane Victims
They don't call him the G.O.A.T. for nothin' ... Michael Jordan is delivering a huge assist to Hurricane Florence victims ... handing out Thanksgiving meals to those affected by the storm on Tuesday.
TMZ Sports has learned ... His Airness was dishin' out the meals in front of a Lowe's in Wilmington, North Carolina ... personally greeting and helping out the people in attendance.
It's a tragedy that hit close to home for M.J. ... he grew up in Wilmington and later went on to ball out at University of North Carolina.
ICYMI -- Jordan already donated $2 MILLION to hurricane relief and boxed meals with his Charlotte Hornets back in September.
Jordan also raised more money by selling Hornets merch with proceeds going to hurricane relief.
Not only did Jordan do the Thanksgiving giveaway ... M.J's rep, Estee Portnoy, tells us he surprised kids at the Boys & Girls Club and hooked them up with food and Jordans as well.
Like we said ... G.O.A.T.

Aaron Carter I'm the OG Biebs ... Kids Have No Respect!!!
Aaron Carter insists he laid the foundation for dudes like Justin Bieber ... even if kids these days don't wanna give him props for it.
Aaron hilariously responded to a random fan on Twitter Tuesday, who wondered why Aaron never achieved the same success as Biebs. That ticked off Aaron who suggests he's basically the Godfather of modern-day child pop stars.
Listen man. I can’t sit here & just not say anything to that, I’ve been in this industry before he was born. I’ve had harder times and always bounce back. No I’m not Justin Bieber I’m Aaron Carter. I’m also in construction 🚧 I paved the way. These kids have NEVER paid me homage. https://t.co/Qe86BI22Pq
@aaroncarter
In his tweet, Aaron says he's been in the music industry way longer than Biebs ... and, apparently, went through much harder times, only to bounce back time and again. He even jokes he's in construction because he "paved the way."
Aaron, at the ripe old age of 30, ended his rant with, "These kids have NEVER paid me homage."
No response from Bieber yet -- he's been a little busy with the missus and other stuff.
AARP says it fully supports Aaron. Kidding.

Tyga Josie Canseco Went to 'Rack City' With My Bday Dancers!!!
Tyga made sure everyone at his 29th birthday bash got involved in the festivities, and that required some hands-on therapy with booty-shaking dancers in g-strings!
The rapper celebrated Monday night at Delilah in WeHo with some of his besties ... including several limber dancers with pole skills. We got video of Tyga enjoying himself, but from the looks of things ... no one had a better time than model Josie Canseco.
She was hanging all over her BF, rapper Mike Stud, while contributing to the dancers' college funds.
Tyga's BFF -- and Amber Rose's BF -- Alexander 'AE' Edwards was also there. The night couldn't finish without a birthday cake ... albeit stripper-themed. How fitting.
