Bebe Rexha Tells Married NFL Star ... Stop Hitting On Me!!!

Published | Updated

Bebe Rexha is calling out a married football player in a big way ... telling him to stop hitting on her.

Bebe doesn't say if he's an NFL player, but the intimation is certainly there -- she says he has an obligation to be a role model, so presumably he's somewhat famous.

The singer posted, "Do you ever have that one guy that always comes in and out of your life ... And they are cheaters waste your time." This makes it sound like she's hooked up with him before.

Bebe makes it clear the guy has a family -- a wife and 3 kids. She says he texted her, "When will I see you my friend!" ... to which she responded, "I'll be performing on new Year's Eve. On NBC. Happy New Year's my friend."

Apparently the NFL player asked when he could see her again in person, and she said, "I'll be performing in San Jose in January."

Short story ... she's one step from naming the guy if he doesn't back off. We're guessing he got the message.

Lady Gaga Super Spacey ... Opens Las Vegas Residency

Published | Updated

Lady Gaga fired up her new 'ENIGMA' residency at Park Theater at Park MGM Friday night in Vegas ... and she did not disappoint.

Gaga performed a bunch of her hits -- Poker Face, The Edge of Glory, Applause, Paparazzi, Beautiful Dirty Rich, Dance In the Dark, Aura, Shallow and Scheibe.

She has a new alter ego -- a glittery metallic alien. Gaga soared over the stage in a silver jumpsuit, rode a robot with massive tentacles and sat in a giant egg that was hanging from the ceiling.

Gaga sampled a bunch of space outfits, including a black leotard with a lime green ruffle coat, a black bodysuit with silver foil and large shoulder pads, and a silver jumpsuit with matching boots.

More than 5,000 folks jammed into the venue for the show, including Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom and Adam Lambert.

The show will go through November of next year ... obviously there are breaks in between.

Fox News Commentator Bre Payton Dead at 26

Published | Updated

Fox News commentator, Bre Payton, has died suddenly ... and she was only 26.

Payton, a conservative who wrote for The Federalist magazine, died in San Diego after suffering some sort of sudden illness ... this according to the mag.

Morgan Murtaugh, a friend of hers who just ran for Congress in San Diego and lost, said she found Payton unconscious Thursday. Murtaugh called 911, but apparently Payton was already in a coma and beyond hope.

Murtaugh asked people to reach out to God, saying, "Please if you're religious at all, send prayers this way. We really need them."

It was too late. Payton died Friday.

It appears she was suffering from meningitis, but so far authorities have not determined a cause of death.

Payton was 26.

RIP.

H.S. Wrestler Andrew Johnson Dreads Thrown Away In Dumpster ... No Chance To Reattach

Published | Updated

The brutal decision wrestler Andrew Johnson was forced to make didn't have to end the way it did, because dreadlocks can be reattached ... but not in his case, because we've learned all the hair that was cut off was thrown in a dumpster.

Fact is ... dreadlocks can be reattached in a number of ways. It's a process that typically takes a few months to complete, but it's doable. Dreads can be fused together, even after some are cut off.

We're told almost immediately after the referee for Andrew's wrestling match gave him the impossible ultimatum, the dreads were swept up -- no questions asked -- and thrown in the trash.

Sources connected to Johnson's family tell TMZ, Andrew has done nothing with his hair since it was butchered at the meet. He's gotten a bunch of offers from various hair care professionals, but so far he's made no decisions.

As we reported, Andrew and his family have not decided whether to pursue legal action against the referee or the school. They're waiting for the results of the investigation by the New Jersey Attorney General's Division on Civil Rights.

As you know ... referee Alan Maloney stepped in right before Andrew was getting ready to compete for his New Jersey high school, and told the 16-year-old black wrestler to either chop off his dreads or forfeit the match. It all went down in a matter of minutes, leaving Andrew with little time to process what was happening.

Safaree & Erica Mena Ca$hing In On Our Wedding ... Live Stream For $350K?!?

Published | Updated

Safaree and Erica Mena will head straight to the bank after walking down the aisle ... because we've learned the couple is fielding some insane offers to live stream their wedding.

A rep for Safaree, KD McNair, tells TMZ ... the couple has already received a $350,000 offer to live stream their nuptials! We're told a mainstream digital platform reached out after hearing about Safaree's elaborate Christmas Eve proposal.

Our sources say Safaree and Erica haven't accepted the offer yet, because they're still fielding other bids, but they're definitely interested in showcasing their wedding.

Safaree and Erica have huge social media followings -- 3.8 million Instagram followers for her and 2.1 mil for him -- and we're told the 'Love & Hip Hop' stars believe streaming their wedding makes more sense than a TV special. People will be able to like and comment during the live stream.

Ah, the sweet sounds of wedding bells and cash registers.

Danielle Staub's Ex I Didn't Secretly List Our House ... She Knew All Along!!!

Published | Updated

Danielle Staub's estranged husband Marty Caffrey is calling BS on her claims she was blindsided when he put their mansion up for sale ... because he says he told her their home was hitting the market weeks in advance.

We got Marty out Friday in New York, and he's pouring water all over Danielle's claims she found out from a friend when he listed their NJ home for over $2 million.

As Marty puts it, there's no sense in secretly listing their home when they're still living there, because there's no way he could hide that fact forever.

Marty and Danielle are in the middle of a messy divorce -- only months after tying the knot back in May -- and it's interesting to hear Marty explain why their relationship started falling apart when Danielle began filming Season 9 of "Real Housewives of New Jersey."

Donald Trump Beefing with DirecTV ... Over UFC Fight

Published | Updated

HERE'S THE STORY ...

Even the President of the United States has issues with his cable provider ...

Donald Trump has a bone to pick with DirecTV -- after he ordered a UFC fight back in July ... but didn't get to see how it ended.

According to Dana White, Trump REALLY wanted to see UFC 226 -- Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic -- and ponied up the $65 to order the pay-per-view on DirecTV.

But, Dana says some "Presidential stuff" went down during the July 7 event, and Trump had to step away from his TV.

A few days later, when Trump finally got some free time to finish the fight -- White says the fight was already gone from his DVR ... and he couldn't watch the end on demand.

"So, he said, 'If I paid for the fight, shouldn't I get to watch the rest of the fight whenever I'm ready to watch it again?'"

Dana says he sees Trump's point and thinks POTUS is probably right ... but it's a beef the President needs to settle with DirecTV.

Of course, Dana and Trump are longtime friends -- with Dana even giving a speech for Donald at the Republican National Convention back in 2016.

Trump is a huge fight fan and recently called White after UFC 231 to rave about the Max Holloway vs. Brian Ortega fight.

Former Miss USA Malibu Fire Didn't Stop Our Wedding!!!

Published | Updated

Former Miss USA Tara Conner had no idea the ravaging Malibu fire would turn her into a hell of a wedding planner ... 'cause the natural disaster forced her to plan it again from scratch with only 24 hours to spare.

We're told Tara and Eli James got married on November 11 ... just 3 days after the Woolsey fire barreled down the hills and scorched nearly 100k acres, destroyed more than 1,500 structures and displaced nearly 300k people.

Tara and Eli were supposed to get married in Malibu that weekend but with mandatory evacuations in order, the fire literally growing by the minute and threatening their venue ... Tara says they abandoned EVERYTHING that was prearranged for the shindig, and came up with a whole new setup in Burbank ... at the home of her maid of honor's mother.

Tara -- crowned Miss USA in 2006 -- put family members on flower detail while a friend built an altar in the living room. Tara's father, John, gave her away and her sober mentor, Eric Proctor, officiated the ceremony. 50 guests cheered her and the groom on.

Tara tells TMZ ... "This experience proved that everything works out, no matter what, and has taught me to look for those blessings in disguise. It was perfect."

Congrats!!!

Nirvana Sues Marc Jacobs ... You Jacked Our Famous Smiley!!!

Published | Updated

Nirvana's famous smiley face design was stolen by clothing brand Marc Jacobs ... so says the band in a new lawsuit.

The docs claim, in November 2018, MJ announced the release of its "Bootleg Redux Grunge" collection. Included in the collection were socks, shirts and sweaters. The MJ line featured a squiggly yellow smiley face.

Problem is, Nirvana has owned the trademark to a very similar smiley face design since 1992 ... and says "Bootleg Redux Grunge" is a blatant ripoff of the design.

The lawsuit also claims Nirvana as one of the founders of the "Grunge" music scene ... so even the Marc Jacobs' line name was hatched thanks to the band.

We've reached out to a rep for Marc Jacobs for comment ... so far, no word back.

Usher Files for Divorce From Wife Grace Miguel

Published | Updated

Usher has officially filed from divorce from his estranged wife, Grace Miguel, who he publicly split with earlier this year.

The "Let it Burn" singer filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- in Atlanta Friday to call it quits on the marriage. The move is anything but surprising ... it was back in March -- on the heels of several allegations and lawsuits claiming Usher spread herpes -- the couple announced things were over.

The docs state December 24, 2017 as the couple's date of separation. They also say the two reached a confidential settlement agreement ... so it's all finished and just waiting on a judge to sign off.

In a joint statement, Usher and Grace said, "After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple. We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives."

The two got hitched back in 2015 and did not have any children together.

Pleasure P Busted for DUI Allegedly Asks to Call Shaq from Police Station

Published | Updated

2:09 PM PT -- According to the police report -- obtained by TMZ -- PP was spotted weaving in and out of traffic in an SUV at a speed estimated to be over 100 MPH. Cops say they pulled him over and ordered PP out of the vehicle and cuffed him ... he then stated his name was Pleasure P from Pretty Ricky.

Cops say PP reeked like booze, and it was so bad, they had to roll down the windows of the police car to air it out. The report says the singer was given a breath test once back at the station -- where he blew a .176 and then a .175 -- more than twice the legal limit.

And, get this -- cops say while he was getting booked, PP asked to call Shaq and the rapper Flo Rida -- a request that was denied.

Pleasure P -- a member of the R&B group Pretty Ricky -- joked about telling the devil to go back to hell 'cause he had some birthday celebrating to do ... and hours later he was busted for DUI.

Pleasure P, who turned 34, was busted in Miami Friday morning and booked for DUI, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving and resisting an officer. Pleasure P -- who left the group in 2007 for a solo career -- was released after posting bail.

It's interesting ... Pleasure P posted a video on Instagram to thank his more than 325k followers for the birthday wishes. He captioned it, "My birthday started off a little slow which is why I haven't been posting the devil was trying to work, but I told his ass to go back to hell because I got some celebrating to do."

Oops.
