Chrissy Teigen Teases Surrogacy Plans ... After Losing Son Jack

It looks like Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are in the process of having another baby, but this time via surrogate.

Chrissy posted a pic of needles and capsules and it appears the backdrop is some sort of medical office. It has the makings of an egg-retrieval procedure.

Her caption was even more revealing ... "Here we go again."

As you know, in September 2020, Chrissy and John lost Jack, who did not survive after being born 20 weeks into her pregnancy because of complications.

Chrissy told her fans last year she and John couldn't have another baby through natural childbirth.

Chrissy and John have 2 kids ... Luna who's 5, and 3-year-old Miles. It looks like they're planning on expanding their brood. We wish them luck.

As we've told you ... Kanye is under investigation for allegedly punching an autograph seeker near the Soho Warehouse in DTLA ... and video shows the man laid out on the street as Kanye rages at folks who apparently work for him. We were told at the time Kanye broke the guy's nose.

The way it works in L.A. ... the City Attorney has 3 options -- file charges, reject the case, or call the involved parties in for an informal office hearing where they could impose certain conditions for the case to go away ... conditions like attending anger management classes.

NBA All-Star Celeb Game Jack Harlow, MGK, Tiffany Haddish, Quavo Square Off!!!

The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game had challenges Friday night ... because there was a major distraction in the crowd -- and her name is Megan Fox.

It must've been super hard for some players to concentrate as Megan cheered on her fiance Machine Gun Kelly, who played on Team Walton in the Ruffles NBA All-Star Celebrity Game during NBA All-Star Weekend.

MGK was festooned in bling as he showed off his skills ... btw, he has mad skills on the hardwood.

Team Walton also included Quavo ... himself a pretty awesome player. He was more than happy to mug for a selfie with former WNBA great Lisa Leslie.

The opposing team -- Team Nique -- included the likes of Tiffany Haddish, singer Kane Brown and Jack Harlow!

Good sportsmanship clearly abounded at the event, as Jack Harlow of Team Nique was seen sharing a heartwarming embrace with Quavo of the opposite side.

Matt James of 'Bachelor' fame and a member of Team Walton had a misstep when he was shooting from the foul line and hit teammate Brittney Elena in the chest by mistake. People started trolling Matt on social media, and Brittney then jumped in ... "🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♀️🤣🤣 He said sorry y'all! It was a simple mistake lol."

BTW ... Team Walton killed 65-51!!!

SONGS OF MY LIFE
Coleman-Rayner

Paris Jackson is following in her late dad's footsteps ... dropping an album and revealing how death becomes an inevitability in certain songs of hers.

Michael Jackson's 23-year-old daughter was a surprise guest at the St. Regis Resort in Aspen, where she performed songs from her newly-released album.

A small audience was clearly into the tunes and the stories. Paris talked about being inspired to write about her breakup with an ex-boyfriend -- a breakup on Valentine's Day!!! And, does this sound familiar ... "I hope you like it, I know he won't."

Paris then told the small crowd, "I don't write happy songs. So, when I do try to write a love song it usually ends up being a song about me dying. So, that's what this one is, it's called 'Yellow Bird.'"

Paris ends the set but the audience wants more ... so check out the video where she sings "Margaritaville" as the crowd joins in.

MOMENTS BEFORE JUMPING
WVUE/Fox 8

Passengers who witnessed a woman jump overboard to her death on a cruise ship have been left traumatized, and they want the cruise line to do some kind of a make-good.

Rhonda Turner, a 28-year-old from Booneville, MS, was enjoying her time on the Carnival Valor with her husband and two children ... before chaos erupted after a woman jumped off the balcony into the ocean.

Rhonda and her family rushed to where a large group of passengers was gathered. Rhonda says the scene was horrifying. She saw the head of the woman who jumped bobbing in the water. The woman was not decapitated, but all Rhonda could see was her head.

The woman jumped Wednesday afternoon after she was subdued by security. She had gotten into an altercation with a man in the hot tub.

Rhonda says the chaos left her and her family reeling, as helicopters hovered over the ship, trying to locate the woman. Her small children were bewildered and upset ... unable to understand the scope of what had happened.

Rhonda says it's time for Carnival to pony up ... at the very least she wants credit for another cruise. She's so traumatized she's considering counseling.

As for the woman who jumped, the Coast Guard has suspended the search, and Carnival's CARE team is providing support for her family.

Draymond Green Home Burglarized During Super Bowl ... Over $1 Mil In Watches, Jewelry Stolen

Warriors forward Draymond Green's L.A. house was ransacked during Super Bowl weekend ... and over $1,000,000 worth of stuff -- watches, jewelry, and other property -- was stolen, TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us 31-year-old Green -- who attended Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles -- came home later that night and discovered someone had busted their way into his home.

Our sources tell us the alleged perps entered Green's residence through his window ... and made off with watches, jewelry, and other personal property.

Unfortunately, this isn't the first time something like this has happened to an athlete in Los Angeles. During Game 7 of the World Series in 2017, Dodgers star Yasiel Puig's home was burglarized.

In 2019, the NFL warned the Rams of the potential for burglaries ... and advised the players to beef up security.

Police are currently investigating the burglary at Draymond's. No arrests have been made.

It's Tricky with Raquel Harper

Hazel-E is getting some tough love, and through her tears, the 'Love & Hip Hop' star is vowing she's done with cosmetic surgery ... after 2 other procedures nearly turned deadly.

Hazel opened up about feeling pressure to "snapback" to pre-pregnancy fitness when she went on the "It's Tricky with Raquel Harper" podcast. She even named names, saying her goal was to recover like Teyana Taylor famously did after she had kids.

Now, she's admitting the surgeries -- including liposuction and BBLs -- got out of hand. Here's the thing ... Raquel and Hazel are friends, but Raq didn't hold back in strongly suggesting she lay off the procedures.

Actually, the wording was pretty blunt -- telling Hazel to quit "f**king herself up."

The clip is raw, and Hazel's reaction to the friendly advice gets pretty emotional. In the end, though, she swears off going under the knife again ... with just a couple of exceptions.

The language here definitely isn't for kiddos, but it's real AF.

Follow "It's Tricky with Raquel Harper" on Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts -- or wherever you get your pods -- to get this full episode, and she'll have new ones every week!

Benny The Butcher Grand Theft Suspect ... You Stole My Earrings During Hotel Rendezvous

Benny The Butcher is a suspect in a grand theft case, after the alleged victim claims he made off with some of her super-expensive jewelry ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources confirm to TMZ ... a few weeks ago, the rapper was sharing a room with a lady at the SLS Hotel in Bev Hills. When the woman woke up, Benny and her earrings were gone ... earrings she says are valued around $10k.

We're told Benny and the woman were the only ones in the room. When she called him, she says he admitted to taking the earrings ... and promised he would return them.

Well, a few weeks went by and the woman was still earring-less ... in fact, she says he changed his story, claiming the earrings were lost.

The woman has now filed a police report, naming Benny as the thief.

We reached out to Mr. The Butcher ... so far no comment.

Wild Wipeouts From Winter Olympics ... Put Some Ice On That!

The action from the 2022 Winter Olympics XXIV in Beijing, China hasn't been all gold medals and stacked podiums ... athletes traveled the globe to leave it all out on the frozen grounds of competition ... which of course includes some pretty crazy crashes.

Put your day on ice while you check out all the biggest slips, spills and all-out blunders to put the impressive drive and courage from the world-class athletes into perspective.

If there's one important takeaway from this winter's intercontinental competition, it is that it doesn't matter how many times to fall ... it's about how many times to get back up.

BING CROSBY Buyer Snags Former Estate for $4.15M … 'JFK Wing' & Putting Green Included

Bing Crosby’s former estate -- where the movie star and plenty of his A-list friends called home -- is officially off the market in a $4,150,000 deal.

The Crosby pad sits on 1.36 acres in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Rancho Mirage. The place has panoramic views, including a stunning view of the mountains with a pool and spa, bar, theater room, putting green and an outdoor kitchen.

Back in the day, the property hosted the likes of John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe.

In fact, JFK frequented the estate so often, there’s a guest house called the “JFK Wing.”

The home — which features 6,700 sq ft of living space and 5 bedrooms — was first listed back in Dec. 2021 for $4.5M, so the sale price is slightly under ask, but a hefty chunk of change nonetheless.

The buyer in the sale was repped by Fred Dapp of The Agency and the estate was listed by David Emerson and Alexandra Trejo of Compass.

D.L. Hughley Kim Potter Held to Lower Standard Than Citizens in Fatal Shootings

021822_dl_hughley_kal
AS EXPECTED
TMZ.com

Spare D.L. Hughley the outrage over Kim Potter getting a 2-year sentence for killing Daunte Wright -- he says America's judicial system consistently lets cops off lightly, while ordinary Joes get the max.

We got the comedian and author at LAX Friday ... just a few hours after ex-officer Potter was sentenced for first and second-degree manslaughter. She could have gotten up to 15 years in prison, but D.L. says that almost never happens because, "There's a certain amount of accountability they refuse to ascribe to police officers."

ADDRESSING DAUNTE'S FAMILY
Fox 9 KMSP

Potter, who tearfully begged Daunte's family for forgiveness in court, shot and killed him during an April 2021 traffic stop outside Minneapolis. Her body cam appeared to back up Potter's claim she thought she was pulling her Taser, but accidentally drew her firearm.

Check out the video – D.L. seemed totally defeated by the news of Potter's sentence. Although he accepts the killing was accidental, he still can’t understand why police officers like her end up getting such light sentences in fatal shootings.

SHOT POINT-BLANK
Brooklyn Center Police

He compares Daunte's death to the 2009 Oscar Grant killing in Oakland ... where the officer also got 2 years for manslaughter. He was released on parole after serving just 11 months.

D.L. says there’s an upper limit on how much accountability the American justice system is willing to dole out to cops who kill citizens, and that needs to change. In fact, he says officers need to be held to a higher standard than that of ordinary citizens.

Dave Chappelle More Netflix Comedy Coming ... 4 New Dave-Produced Specials

Netflix is turning the page from Dave Chappelle's 'Closer' controversy by staying in business ... with Dave Chappelle, and rolling out new comedy specials with his fingerprint all over 'em.

Dave and the streaming platform announced a new standup comedy series Friday called, "Chappelle's Home Team" ... which will focus on comics handpicked by DC himself. The first of 4 episodes are set to drop February 28, featuring Earthquake.

021822_dave_chappelle_kal
DAVE'S ANNOUNCEMENT
Netflix

Remember, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos refused to remove "The Closer" last year when LGBTQ groups, and others, accused Chappelle of transphobia and staged several protests at Netflix HQ.

Sarandos said the company fully supported all comedians' right to express themselves ... and stood by Dave. The new specials are proof positive of that continued partnership, which has been extremely profitable for both parties.

He's released 10 standup specials on Netflix since 2016 and, by some reports, has made north of $200 mil.

While Dave won't be doing standup in the new specials, he is executive producing them and will do the introductions. After Earthquake, who's opened for Dave on the road, the 2nd episode features Donnell Rawlings, another one of DC's close friends.

Patrick Mahomes Report Of Britt, Bro Being Banned At Games Is Bogus

No, Patrick Mahomes did NOT just ban his fiancée and own brother from attending his games next season ... 'cause TMZ Sports is told a report saying so is a load of crap.

A wild rumor started making rounds on social media Friday ... claiming the Super Bowl champ sat Brittany Matthews and Jackson down after the season and asked them to avoid Chiefs games as a result of all the "distractions" the duo has caused over the years.

Of course, Matthews and Jackson have been polarizing figures -- Britt's passionate cheering and champagne-spraying ... and Mahomes' TikTok dances and water-pouring incidents have drawn a ton of criticism.

But, our sources tell us the convo simply never happened ... and Patrick can't wait to have his loved ones cheering him on in 2022.

Mahomes was forced to defend Brittany from the Twitter trolls recently ... calling haters "weird" for constantly bashing his wife-to-be.

Matthews has turned all the hate she's gotten into a positive ... by selling "Team Brittany" shirts, with part of the proceeds going to charity.

Whether you like 'em or not, one thing's for sure -- they're not going anywhere.
