Justin Bieber popped the question to Hailey Baldwin a nanosecond after getting back together in June, but we've learned they're not rushing to the altar ... not by a long shot.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Justin and Hailey are waiting until sometime next year to tie the knot. We're told it's not that they're unsure ... not unlike Miley and Liam, we're told they feel they've made the commitment, and that's the most important thing.

We're also told it's a mistake to view their engagement as jumping the gun. As one solid source told us, "Justin's been in love with her for a long time, so this didn't just come from out of the blue." We're told there were a number of times -- times the public doesn't know about -- when Justin and Hailey got back together.

The upshot -- everyone thought Selena Gomez was the woman he always wanted, but even when he was with Selena ... Hailey was on his brain.

Chris Hardwick is still reeling from the sexual harassment claims made by his ex-girlfriend ... that much is clear after he made an emotional statement to his 'Talking Dead' fans.

Chris was back hosting the show Sunday night, and choked back tears as he said, "I'm so appreciative to be standing here right now."

He thanked fans for their support during AMC's investigation of allegations Chloe Dykstra had made -- that he was emotionally and sexually abusive to her during their relationship.

Chris said the 'Walking Dead' shows were more than just his job, but a "vital part of my life."

Sylvester Stallone and his beautiful family were soaking up the sun in Baja California ... hitting another vacation hot spot during the Summer of Sly.

Sly and his daughter, Sistine, kicked off their Mexican beach vacay with a dip in the hot tub and some sunbathing in Cabo San Lucas. That's 20-year-old Sistine in the white bikini. As they say south of the border -- que linda!

The Stallones have been stamping their passports this summer ... looking hot on a yacht in the French Riviera.

President Trump either didn't know his Chief of Staff fired Omarosa or he played dumb ... this according to newly released audio in which Trump tells her he had no idea she got the ax.

You hear Trump faintly express regret as Omarosa explains General John Kelly gave her walking papers the day before. Monday on "Today," she said the President is nothing more than Gen. Kelly's puppet.

Omarosa also secretly recorded her conversation with Kelly, who would not say if Trump knew he was firing her.

She told TMZ on Saturday ... she believed Trump was a racist who was trying to start a race war. Omarosa says she heard an audio of an outtake of 'The Apprentice' in which Trump allegedly used the n-word.

The White House has lashed out at Omarosa, saying she's a liar and a disgruntled former employee. Trump himself just lit into her, apparently in response to the new audio, saying she was "wacky" and "begged" him for the administration role.

People all over the world felt a special connection to Anthony Bourdain ... and now's your chance to live like the beloved chef and TV host.

Bourdain's New York City apartment is available for rent. His 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo is listed for $14,200 per month. It's located at the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle.

The pad features views of the Hudson River and New York City skyline. It's decked out with hardwood floors and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Food was Bourdain's passion and claim to fame ... and the 'Parts Unknown' host's condo has a full kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances ... decked out with white marble countertops.

The building's a short walk from plenty of good eats. There's also a health club, spa, screening room, sundeck, concierge service and residents' lounge.

As you know ... Bourdain died 2 months ago in France from an apparent suicide.

He was 61.

Tab Hunter -- the 1950s heartthrob actor -- died after his heart gave out but, according to his death certificate, he was also battling a debilitating disease ... prostate cancer.

According to the doc -- obtained by TMZ -- Tab died from cardiogenic shock ... which is when the blood suddenly can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Another contributing factor to his death was a massive pulmonary embolism. The doc also says he had prostate cancer.

As we reported ... the actor known for his surfer-boy looks and roles in "Damn Yankees" and "The Burning Hills" died last month -- 3 days shy of his birthday -- at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

Tab always felt he would have been blackballed from Hollywood if people had discovered he was gay, so he later revealed in his memoirs that he had studio setup relationships with women.

Tab was 86.

Adam Croasdell -- an actor known for his roles on "Preacher," "Reign" and "NCIS" -- has gone to the cops, claiming he'd been catfished by someone who is now mercilessly harassing him online.

According to new legal docs ... Adam says he began communicating with the owner of the IG account @topthatpose in April 2017, and the 2 eventually exchanged digits and began talking daily.

Adam says the person claimed she was a 24-year-old woman named Gabriella Winters, and they developed a relationship ... but "Gabriella" would always find an excuse to avoid meeting with him ... even on FaceTime.

According to the docs ... Adam broke things off in July 2017, but he began getting bombarded with harassing emails and social media messages shortly thereafter. He claims he was getting 10-50 messages a day from "Gabriella" through hundreds of different accounts.

Adam says the catfisher even pretended to be various members of Gabriella's family.

A Southern Resident killer whale whose calf died shortly after birth last month was finally seen swimming without the carcass 17 days later ... according to scientists, who say her "tour of grief" is over.

The Center for Whale Research announced Saturday that the mother orca in question -- who goes by both Tahlequah and J35 -- was seen swimming solo near British Columbia with her pod chasing a school of salmon ... the first time she'd been seen without the body of her deceased calf since July 24.

Scientists say the whale refused to part with the carcass for a whopping 17 days, in what they described as severe grieving. The CWR says mother whales have been known to transport their dead calves for up to a week at a time, but this case was unprecedented.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is parroting what her boss says A LOT regarding Omarosa and her bombshell book -- and alleged recordings -- on President Trump ... any guesses?

We got the White House Press Secretary leaving Reagan International in D.C. Sunday where our camera guy asked what she made of the one-time Trump staffer and longtime loyalist peddling her new "explosive" and "jaw-dropping" publication, 'Unhinged,' about the Prez.

Sarah says Omarosa's showing her true colors in the wake of being fired by Chief of Staff John Kelly -- whom she recorded too btw -- and thinks it's simply a SAD! state of affairs.

Lindsay Lohan is backtracking on some eyebrow-raising comments she made about #MeToo -- calling women who speak out as looking "weak" -- and is setting the record straight.

LiLo issued a statement Sunday apologizing for her remarks and any harm inflicted. She says ... "The quote solely related to my hope that a handful of false testimonies out of a tsunami of heroic voices do not serve to dilute the importance of the #MeToo movement, and all of us who champion it."

She continues ... "However, I have since learned how statements like mine are seen as hurtful, which was never my intent. I’m sorry for any pain I may have caused."

The original comment came out recently in a Times interview, in which she criticized some women for coming out with their stories of sexual abuse way after the fact -- rather than address it in the moment -- and added speaking out now made strong women "look weak."

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson stuck out like a sore thumb (or a green thumb?) this weekend in Mexico -- partly due to wardrobe ... not to mention the company they kept.

The two parents were partying at La Santa nightclub in Puerto Vallarta -- sans True, of course -- very early Saturday morning, where Khloe wore a bright green highlighter dress ... and Tristan stood at his usual 6'9". Safe to say, you couldn't miss 'em if you were there.

Speaking of which ... one guy who definitely didn't pass up a chance to chat the couple up was 'Girls Gone Wild' founder Joe Francis. He was hanging out as well.

The Kardashians -- and tons of other celebs -- have been known to frequent Joe's nearby Punta Mita oceanfront estate. He reportedly hit a snag last year though after a judge ruled he couldn't profit off the property anymore due to alleged fraudulent activity ... but Joe's refuted that saying "It is business as usual at Casa Aramara in Punta Mita Mexico."

Ricky Martin and Jwan Yosef are more than just two peas in a pod -- they're a couple of heartthrobs on a barca.

The Latin pop singer was hanging with his hubby Saturday on a yacht in Sardinia, Italy -- where they were both rockin' some sweet trunks and going shirtless on what looks like a super relaxing vacay. No sign of their twin boys here ... so it might be dads' day out.

The question now ... who's studlier?? Ricky's got the casual bro look going for him, but Jwan's kinda got the classic summer beach boy thing working too. We gotta ask ...

Omarosa apparently knew what was coming when she got the ax from White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, because she recorded it all on her cellphone.

The Trump ally turned enemy was on "Meet the Press" Sunday, and played the tape. She says it proves stories that she had to be dragged out of The White House during that XMAS party in December, 2017 were false.

You hear Kelly tell Omarosa the firing can be done one of 2 ways ... the easy way or the hard way. He says if she chooses the later it will create difficulty with respect to her reputation.

Kelly also says he's firing her because of "serious integrity violations." He actually says more ... that the violation involves "money issues" and "legal issues" that could make it ugly for her. He says she'd be subject to legal action, but that wouldn't be necessary if she quietly exits.

BTW ... the audio does reveal how she exited.

Honey Boo Boo is learning a hard lesson ... dancing can really suck.

The 12-year-old dissolved into tears after a rehearsal Saturday at CBS Studios in L.A.

All is not bad ... she's getting $50,000 just for signing to do the show, and the longer she competes the more money she'll pull in. If she makes it to episode 3 she'll get $10k, episode 5 she'll get another $15k, episode 7 she'll get $20k, episode 8 another $15k, and if she's in the finale she'll get another $20k.

Paris Jackson proves there's something heredity about singing, because she was awesome as grandma Katherine looked on.

Paris was performing at the Canyon Sessions Cancer Fundraiser in L.A., and gotta say, she sounds a little like Joni Mitchell ... and that's high praise.

What's especially interesting ... Katherine has been mostly MIA from the public for several years now, and a while back we reported she was living with one of her children and she had not seen her grandchildren in ages.

Paris posted this, "I can't believe my grandma made it to our second live show, and she actually liked it!?!!! I love you so much grandma."

It looks like they've reestablished ties. As you know, Katherine raised Paris and her brothers after Michael Jackson's death. Paris had it rough after her dad died, but she's rebounded spectacularly.
