Drake Forget Marvin's Room ... I'll Be Lounging in Sick Master Suite
Drake fans can hold on all they want, they're NEVER gonna go home to the kinda bedroom Drizzy's building in his Toronto mansion -- you could easily get lost in the damn place!
The publicly filed floor plans for his crib feature the layout for the most insane master suite we've ever seen. How big? The 941 square feet literally takes up HALF of the second floor of the ginormous crib.
Here's what he's working with: his own stairwell entrance, 2 dressing rooms AND 2 closets (all part of one elaborate wardrobe area), a steam shower and tub with a skylight above, TWO balcony areas with an outdoor hot tub and a kitchenette.
Again, all of that is JUST for his bedroom quarters. Of course, there are 4 impressive guest bedrooms too ... although they don't compare to Drake's.
If the room itself isn't impressive enough, take a gander at the estate in its entirety -- to call it a beaut is a gross understatement.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The mansion is about 35,000 square feet on a 2-acre lot and the toys include ... 2 saunas, a massage room, a 10-car garage, an elevator, a gym, a screening room ... and a full basketball court. There's more, but we're tired.
Drake bought the place for nearly $4 million and had it under construction for a majority of 2017 and about half of 2018. Talk about views!

LaVar Ball Blasts UCLA No Way LaMelo Goes There After LiAngelo Debacle
There's a ZERO percent chance LaMelo Ball will follow in his bro's footsteps and play at UCLA next season ... so says LaVar Ball who tells us he's still furious over the way the school treated LiAngelo.
17-year-old LaMelo is playing pretty well at the Spire Institute in Ohio -- and recently dropped 30 points during a game in Atlanta.
LaVar tells us his son is "better than LeBron" was as a teenager -- calling him "unbeatable" and "the coldest person on two feet."
So, where's he gonna play his college ball next year? Definitely not in Westwood.
"Heck no, he won't be at UCLA," LaVar says ... "UCLA? Why? After what they did to my other son? Are you crazy?"
Remember, LiAngelo withdrew from UCLA after the shoplifting incident in China. UCLA had suspended him indefinitely but that didn't sit well with LaVar.
"Suspend him and don't tell him when he supposed to be able to play and all that? No, they ain't behind him like that. One mistake and now you put him to the side and act like he's supposed to come the next year?"
LaVar says he's also upset that UCLA forced LiAngelo to wear #15 when he wore #3 all his life -- "so it started off wrong."
As for LaMelo, Ball says he'll start taking recruiting trips to colleges "when he feels like it."
LaVar's oldest son Lonzo Ball went to UCLA before being selected by the Lakers with the #2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

Bernardo Bertolucci 'Last Tango' Director Dead at 77
Oscar winner Bernardo Bertolucci -- who directed Marlon Brando in "Last Tango in Paris" -- died Monday at his home in Rome.
Bernardo was surrounded by his family when he passed, according to his office. No cause of death was released.
The Italian director, hailed as one of the country's best ever, made his name with 'Last Tango' in 1972 -- which was banned in several countries, including Italy, for its erotic and brutal sex scenes.
Despite the controversy, Bertolucci and Brando were both nominated for Oscars for the graphic film about a middle-aged man's sexual relationship with a much younger woman.
However, he didn't win an Academy Award until 1988's "The Last Emperor." Bernardo won the Oscars that year for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. His final feature film was "Me and You," a 2012 release in Italy.
He was also awarded lifetime achievement awards at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals.
Bertolucci was 77.
RIP

Paris Hilton Saves Friend From Drunk Driving Fiasco
Not all superheroes wear capes ... sometimes they wear diamonds, expensive perfume and lip gloss. Like Paris Hilton, who helped a buddy avoid serious criminal charges or even worse.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Paris recently had a party at her L.A. pad when a dude wanted to bolt but had trouble finding his keys. He called the cops and, perhaps drunkenly, told them the housekeeper had taken them away from him. Turns out Paris was behind the decision.
We're told cops drove up to Paris' house and she told them what was going down -- the guy's keys were taken away because he was way too boozy. In the end, cops believed Paris was being a gracious host and only looking out for the partygoer, who ended up getting home via Uber.
You'll recall when Paris was busted for DUI back in 2006, she had said she would not have been able to live with herself if anyone was injured or, worse, killed while she drove drunk. Seems she applied that same thought process here ... making sure no one drove home drunk.
Saving the world ... one day at a time.

Tyga LiLo Didn't Get A Taste ... She's Just Thirsty
Lindsay Lohan shooting her shot at Tyga over social media was just another case of internet thirst, because we're told the two don't have a history.
Friends of Lindsay and Tyga tell TMZ ... the "Taste" rapper has never met Lindsay, and has no plans to do so, despite LiLo sliding into his Instagram comments with a thirsty reply to Tyga's most recent selfie.
Lindsay replied to Tyga's post with the name of his hit song, sending the internet into a frenzy, but we're told it's nothing more than a textbook example of IG thirsting.
Tyga's 13.8 million followers jumped on LiLo's comment with most encouraging her to shoot her shot, but it turns out the two don't have any connection in real life.
Sorry, Lindsay, ya gotta do more than drop a thirsty reply to get a taste ... he's kinda got a thing for strippers.

Social Media Star Hayes Grier Sues Former Manager ... He Stole My Cartier Bracelet!!!
Internet superstar Hayes Grier is tired of begging his former handler to return his Cartier bracelet, so now he's seeking a ton of money ... according to a new lawsuit.
Hayes claims he told his former legal guardian, Griffin Hadley, to buy the expensive wristwear using the then-16-year-old's credit card. Problem is ... Hayes said Griffin kept it for himself and refused to give it to Hayes.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Hayes says he was shopping in Barcelona with Griffin during a photo shoot for Taco Bell when he told Griffin to buy the Cartier bracelet. But, get this ... Hayes claims Griffin kept the bracelet after mailing it to Griffin's home in the States.
According to the docs, Hayes says he's been hounding Griffin to give him the $45,000 bracelet, but Griffin's been blowing him off ... and now Hayes is going after Griffin for damages.

U.S.-Mexico Border Crisis Tear Gas Thrown at Migrants, Kids As San Ysidro Crossing Closes

4:34 PM PT -- CBP San Diego says pedestrian bridges between Tijuana and San Diego are now open again in both directions, heading north and south.
Pedestrian East and West are open at the San Ysidro port of entry for both northbound and southbound crossings.
@CBPSanDiego
Tensions are at a boiling point at the U.S.-Mexico border in California, where migrants have started to clash with border agents ... who've also begun throwing tear gas at them and their children.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection closed the San Ysidro border crossing outside of San Diego Sunday, as hundreds of migrants trying to enter the U.S. -- many of whom are seeking asylum -- gathered at the border and demanded entry. Some of them even started throwing rocks at agents, and U.S. agents reportedly responded by throwing tear gas into the crowd.

@AmichaiStein1
The move is drawing heavy criticism, as there are children among the migrants. No shots have been fired, but remember ... President Trump essentially gave the green light for retaliation a few weeks ago as the migrant caravan made its way north.
Needless to say, it's an intense scene. As for a possible solution ... the Trump administration reportedly struck a deal with the incoming Mexican government to keep asylum seekers south of the border as their cases are heard in court.
Over 1,000 migrants have stormed past riot police to get to the US border through the Tijuana River #MigrantCaravan pic.twitter.com/bf2ZsLxRqq

Unclear what a short-term fix might look like, though, as run-ins between authorities and migrants continue to escalate.

Faith Evans Here's Why I Sang this Hymn ... At Kim Porter's Funeral
Faith Evans sang a beautiful rendition of an old hymn during Kim Porter's funeral -- but, sadly, it's one she says she's sung before to honor another member of Diddy's family.
We got Faith Sunday at LAX coming back from Kim's funeral service in Georgia and asked how she was holding up. You can see she's in pain even behind the sunglasses as she tells us she's doing alright following a heartfelt tribute and an emotional ceremony.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Our photog asks why she chose "His Eye is On the Sparrow" as her song of choice to honor Kim, and Faith says she went with something she'd previously performed at Diddy's grandmother's funeral back in the '90s. She also says it's a tune she'd sing to record label execs back in the day ... at Puff's request.
Most importantly, Faith gives us an idea of how Kim left her mark on the world and why so many people were touched by her passing. Sounds like Faith thinks Kim's purpose was more than fulfilled by the way she's remembering her here.
RIP

Ariana Grande Responds to Troll Who Says She's 'Milkin' Mac's Death
11/25 -- Ariana eloquently responded to a Twitter troll who accused her of "milkin" Mac Miller's death, saying quite simply ... "i pray you never have to deal with anything like this ever and i’m sending you peace and love." Ari later tweeted, "some of the sh** i read on here makes me sick to my stomach. it scares me the way some people think and i don’t like this world a lot of the time. if only we could be more compassionate and gentle with one another. that’d be sick."
ari the world could only dream of being as compassionate and gentle as you. and since ur being, as always, so classy and nice, allow me the honor of telling them to shut the fuck up.
@halsey
Halsey jumped to her defense, telling AG's trolls in not-so-subtle terms to STFU. Ariana responded to Halsey with, "i love you very much."
Ariana Grande still has Mac Miller in her memory bank ... and Thanksgiving was a day for her to remember out loud.
Ariana posted this pic of her and Mac that was snapped one year ago to the day ... November 22, 2017. Her message -- simple -- "you're v missed."
It's clearly way bigger for Ariana than Throwback Thursday ... she was torn apart by Mac's death.
TMZ broke the story ... Mac died in September of a drug overdose. According to the L.A. County Coroner, Mac died from a mixture of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.
Ariana gave Mac a shout out in her song, "thank u, next."

Kevin Hart I'll Dew the Front Desk Gym Job, Bro ... You Guys Getting All This?
Kevin Hart is taking over a gym in Philly for Mountain Dew in what appears to be a new ad for the green pop ... and a peek behind the scenes looks promising for laughs.
TMZ has obtained footage of Kevin at a Philadelphia Sports Clubs gym early Sunday morning, where cameras were rolling as he got a lesson from an employee on how to work the front desk. From the looks of it here, Kev's got it all under control.
He hilariously gives a blow-by-blow of what he plans to be doing behind the desk -- "I'ma get back here, and I'm gonna help people!" -- while the gym worker gives him a quick rundown on how to check first and last names. Simple enough ... go dew you, "Daniel."
Hard to tell if this is part of a bigger ad campaign by MD, but it wouldn't be surprising if it is. Kevin's done plenty of TV spots for Mountain Dew in the past ... most were pretty funny.
If this ends playing like a full-on skit, though, it could be his best yet. Stay tuned ...

Corey Lewandowski I Didn't Fight John Kelly But, Here's Who'd Win If We Ever Did
Corey Lewandowski denies that Chief of Staff John Kelly got physical with him in the White House, but if that were to ever happen ... he suggests he could take the general.
We got President Trump's former campaign manager Sunday in D.C., where we first asked him who he believes is scheming against DT in the WH ... which he teased with a plug for his new book, "Trump's Enemies: How the Deep State is Undermining the Presidency."
Our photog then asks about a reported incident between him and the CoS earlier this year, where Kelly supposedly grabbed Corey by the collar and tried to have him ejected from the West Wing. Corey says it never happened, but admits something like that COULD go down within the White House walls. Apparently, it can be a high-tension workplace ... so they say.
Just for the hell of it, we go all hypothetical with Corey here to see if he thinks he'd be able to handle Kelly if push came to shove. Check out his answer ... it says a lot.

Diddy Delivers Emotional Eulogy At Kim Porter's Funeral
Diddy delivered a moving, emotional and heartfelt tribute to Kim Porter Saturday at her funeral ... evidence by audio of the eulogy.
The eulogy lasted 15 minutes ... and Diddy toughed it out without breaking down. Diddy talked about how Kim taught him how to love. He revealed ... at the beginning of the year he was dealing with depression and Kim would come over and comfort him, making sure he was okay.
Diddy went on to describe their evolving relationship ... a relationship that produced 3 children and a relationship that was solid from beginning to end.
There were moments so moving the mourners cheered.
Diddy made it clear ... he would always be there for his kids, and he got a big laugh when he talked about how his daughters could confide in him ... confide "everything."
He ends by making it clear ... Kim will always be with him.

Adam Sandler Robbie Hart's Back for a Wedding ... Loses the Tux for Gym Wear
Adam Sandler reprised one of his best roles at a wedding for a lucky bride and groom, except this time he wasn't crooning about how much love stinks ... just hoopin'.
The newly hitched couple, Tatiana and Karan, hit up a park Saturday in Boca Raton, FL -- where they were set to take pictures with Palm Beach Photography -- and the pair noticed a familiar face on the basketball court ... none other than Robbie Hart himself.
We're told Karan asked Adam if he was up for taking a photo -- an official wedding photo, no less -- and he happily obliged. Granted, he wasn't suited and booted like he was in the 1998 cult comedy classic -- but he posed for a photo-op anyway ... sweat and all.
And when we say sweat ... we mean it. The dude was completely drenched, as you can see more clearly in this shot he took with the photog herself. Gotta go hard when you're reppin' 23, right?
And, of course, since we're talking Sandler and weddings, here's a little mood music for ya. Tatiana and Karan are newlyweds ... WHOOPITY DOO!!!

Tekashi69 $100k Tab for L.A. Bodyguards!!!
It pays to protect Tekashi69 -- especially these days -- 'cause he spared NO expense when it came to hiring muscle to cover his ass in La La Land ... TMZ has learned.
Tekashi hired a small army from 2 different security companies during his recent 10-day stay in L.A. -- we saw the mountainous men shadowing him everywhere. We're told the armed guards provided round-the-clock protection and 3 bulletproof SUVs ... all for the low, low price of $97,165.
Sounds like a ton of cash, until you add the context of what went down during that trip ... starting with nearly coming to blows with Slim 400 in an intense showdown.
6ix9ine's security had to hold him back, which almost certainly saved him from an immediate probation violation and prison time.
Then, a few days later the Bev Hills shooting went down. We're told there were only 2 shifts of security initially scheduled for the music video set, but after the gunmen opened fire ... they called in a third emergency shift. As a result, Tekashi racked up 25 hours of protection for that single event!
The kicker? The security companies ain't happy ... and not due to the bullets. We're told Tekashi hasn't paid his tab, but to be fair he's had bigger things on his mind.
We've reached out to Tekashi's camp Tekashi ... so far, no word back.

Justin Bieber, Hailey Baldwin Pucker Up!!!
Justin Bieber and new wife Hailey Baldwin went ice-adjacent at the Ontario Junior League.
JB and HB seemed somewhat more into themselves than the game, as the Stratford Warriors battled the Kitchener Dutchmen. Justin cheered on Stratford -- his home team as they scored a goal.
Justin's grandparents were beside them in the stands, as Justin and Hailey joined in the chuck-a-puck, a Canadian Junior Hockey tradition where fans buy pucks for a buck to raise funds for the team, and then throw the pucks onto the ice during intermission. The person who throws the puck closest to the center wins a prize.
As for Justin's team, they didn't win but they didn't lose either ... final score was 2-2.
