Sharon Osbourne Ozzy Has COVID Tearful Interview to Announce She's Leaving UK
Sharon Osbourne is just 3 days into her new TV show, but a family health emergency has forced her to put things on hold ... Ozzy has COVID-19.
In a tearful interview with Talk TV -- the new network Sharon's joined -- she says Ozzy was only recently diagnosed, but she's "very worried" about him. Saying she'll fly back to L.A. to help him recover and "hold him and kiss him with about 3 masks on."
You can tell Osbourne is not only feeling for her husband, but also disappointed she'll need to pump the brakes on her new show. It's only the first week of her new UK show called "The Talk."
Sharon says it's the first time her 73-year-old husband has gotten COVID, so obviously, the timing is tough, but she's optimistic, saying, "It'll take me a week to get my old man back on his feet again, and I will be back in a week."
Ozzy's also been battling Parkinson's Disease ... and Sharon recently revealed he's got another surgery on the horizon.
It was last month when it was revealed Sharon would be joining friend Piers Morgan on the newly founded Talk TV.
Sharon has remained a harsh critic of her former employer, CBS, after she was canned from the network for defending Piers after he took heat for his attack on Meghan Markle.

Tekashi 6ix9ine Sucker Punched in the Head As He Leaves Miami Club

7:28 AM PT -- Tekashi tells us, "He scuffed my shoulder by my neck. He also connected with the shoulder of my security guard. I didn't know this guy. There was no prior dispute."
Tekashi 6ix9ine learned the hard way he's still got a ton of enemies, taking a punch to the back of the head as he exited a nightclub with his crew.
We've obtained video from inside Pilo's Tacos Tequila Garden in Miami at about 2 AM where you can see security clear the way for Tekashi and his team. Apparently -- one club-goer wasn't a fan of Tekashi's music, snitching, or maybe even his hairstyle -- and decided to throw a punch as the rapper walked by.
It looks like the blow landed, hitting Tekashi in the back of the head, and the dude who threw the punch takes off.
As for why he was in the club, Tekashi made an appearance and performed one song from behind the DJ booth, so it appears he's trying to test the waters on how he might be received by the average joe ... apparently one guy wasn't feeling it.
Tekashi, for what it's worth, seemed unfazed by the attack and was allegedly signing autographs afterward outside the club.
Tekashi was released from home confinement in connection to his Nine Trey Gangsters trial in August of 2020. The rapper worked with law enforcement to provide information on the wrong-doings of the gang and its members, cutting himself a significant deal.
While he's released music since ... Tekashi has maintained a relatively low profile, but has recently popped up on social media.
We reached out to Tekashi regarding the punch ... so far, no word back.

Kim Kardashian Kanye Makes Emotional Appearance on 'The Kardashians' Kim Breaks Down in Tears
Kanye West appeared for the first time on "The Kardashians" and he came off as the hero, as Kim Kardashian sobbed after he retrieved the hard drive containing her full sex tape video.
It's a fascinating encounter ... Kim and Kanye were going through their divorce at the time, but he seemed like family as he first interacted with a very grateful Kris Jenner before watching Kim unzip the suitcase that contained the hard drive.
Ye flew from New York to L.A. to meet Ray J at the airport, and that's when Ray presented Ye with presumably all the raw video.
As you know, there were stories floating around that another sex tape was in the offing ... something that alarmed Kim enough to sick her lawyer on whoever was about to release it.
Turns out the hard drive was proof positive, no other footage exists ... therefore, no new sex tape.
The interaction between Kanye and Kim is interesting ... they seem to have a real connection ... something that later evaporated as Kanye went in hard on Kim's new BF, Pete Davidson.
The encounter at the end of the clip is super interesting ... there's clear affection between Kris and Kanye.

T-Pain Let Travis Scott Do His Thing!!! ... Headlining Festival Can Help Prove Himself

T-Pain says Travis Scott is right to get back to doing what he does best ... and his first headline spot at the Primavera Sound festival is definitely the place to rebrand his career.
We got T-Pain Wednesday at LAX ... and he thinks Travis needed a venue like Primavera to prove himself.
He makes an interesting point ... a time-out for the sake of it isn't particularly useful. As he says, plenty of folks get locked up and when they're released they commit the same crime again.
T-Pain's got no doubt Travis will be taking steps to keep the crowd safe.
The crowd will be a lot bigger than Astroworld -- upwards of 200,000 people have attended the South American festival in the past, while Houston officials estimated 50K went to Travis' fatal concert in November.
Our sources say this gig is just one of many TS has on the horizon and he'll be announcing 3 U.S. festival performances soon.
Aside from festivals, Travis is set to host his first public performance Astroworld tragedy, at hotspot E11EVEN in May, where he'll perform during Race Week. There's a Formula One Grand Prix that'll be going down around the same time so demand's gonna be high --it's almost sold out.

A$AP Rocky Cops Find Guns at L.A. Home During Search Over Hollywood Shooting

Exclusive

8:49 AM PT -- Sources close to Rocky tell us cops determined very quickly the "lawfully purchased and legally registered" guns found in the rapper's home were not connected to the crime. Our Rocky sources tell us officers never even removed the weapons from the home, because they knew there was no relation to the weapon used in the alleged shooting.
Our law enforcement sources maintain they seized weapons from the home.
The search at A$AP Rocky's home turned up guns, multiple guns, but what's unclear ... did cops seize the gun that was used to shoot a man during an argument in Hollywood?
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... detectives will run ballistic tests on the weapons ... to determine if Rocky was the triggerman.
We're also told cops will run background on the firearms to determine where they came from, who bought them, or if they'd been reported stolen.
As we reported, Rocky was arrested at a private LAX terminal last week when he and Rihanna returned from Barbados. Rocky was booked for assault with a deadly weapon stemming from the shooting in November in which cops say Rocky and an accomplice got into an argument in Hollywood that escalated to gunfire -- the alleged victim's hand was grazed.
TMZ broke the story ... Rocky and his legal team say they were shocked by the arrest and his alleged ties to the shooting. Rather than coordinate a voluntary surrender, cops simply nabbed him off the jet. Police say they needed the element of surprise so as not to tip A$AP off they would search his house for the weapon.
If one of the guns seized at Rocky's home turns out to be the weapon in question ... it could cement the case for prosecutors, who have yet to charge Rocky.

Donny Davis died from alcohol and fentanyl intoxication ... TMZ has learned.
The Clark County Coroner has revealed his cause of death ... after getting autopsy results back for the longtime Vegas impersonator.
As we reported ... Donny tragically died in February in Vegas, where he was found in his hotel room bed ... after partying at a nearby hotel-casino, just hours before.
The beloved impersonator was well-known in Hollywood. He performed with Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey and Chelsea Handler ... just to name a few.
He became a regular on "Chelsea Lately" -- sometimes filling in for her go-to little person sidekick, Chuy Bravo. And, he was pals with Britney Spears for years. He was even hired as a dancer for Brit's Vegas residency show when it kicked off, back in 2013.
Donny did lots of private gigs for big stars like Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham and Charlize Theron. But, his face also became familiar on the big screen ... appearing in 2017's "It's Gawd!" after being in "Pain and Gain."
He was 43.

Tokyo Toni is putting a hard stop to folks who say Blac Chyna is violent ... insisting she's not and never has been.
We caught up with Tokyo Toni, Wednesday at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse and she told us, her daughter isn't a threat to anyone. Toni says Blac Chyna is not that kinda girl. She was quick to add, the Kardashians are the violent ones, saying their show, 'KUWTK,' proves it.
TT tells us ... they're all trying to paint her and her daughter as crazy people, but in reality, they are just standing up for their rights.
Toni might have a hard time convincing some folks because she's had issues of her own.
Remember ... Tokyo was actually banned from the courtroom after firing shots at the Kardashians on Instagram live. She dug herself into a deeper hole after threatening the judge for kicking her out, saying ... "I'm gonna get that judge".
We should note, TT later backtracked and said she was referring to Kris Jenner when she used the word "judge" -- not the actual one in court ... though in context, that makes no sense.
As we reported, Black Chyna is suing the Kardashians for $100 mil ... for allegedly getting her 2017 reality show, with Rob Kardashian, canceled.
Toni says she's here only to support her daughter, who, BTW ... she says is staying positive about all this.

Transportation Sec. Buttigieg Here's What's What On Mask Rules ... Oh & My Kids Are Great!!!

Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, is here to clear up why the federal government seems to be pushing back on mask mandates that were set to expire.
The cabinet member formerly known as Mayor Pete came on "TMZ Live" and offered some much-needed clarity on the whole mask mandate confusion, particularly on planes -- namely, whether people still have to wear them.
Passengers being told mid-flight they didn’t need to wear a mask was ridiculously unfair to passengers with health risks who may have only decided to board the plane knowing ALL were going to be masked.#MaskMandate pic.twitter.com/wWMNSqYj7J
— Christopher Webb 🇺🇸 (@cwebbonline) April 19, 2022 @cwebbonline
As you know, a federal judge struck down the Biden administration's mask mandate rule for air travel earlier this month -- giving people the right to go maskless if they want -- but since then the DOJ has appealed the decision, and wants to make its case in court.
Of course, the reason people are scratching their heads ... if the federal mask mandate was going to end on May 3 anyway, why are Biden and co. trying to reinstate it?
Dr. Anthony Fauci says he "clearly" disagrees with the federal judge who ruled that the CDC cannot issue a national mask mandate.

"The principle of a court overruling a public health judgement by a qualified organization...is disturbing in the precedent it might send." pic.twitter.com/Q11EoM2FWy
As PB explains here ... it's not so much that President Biden wants to force people to mask up again, but more so -- trying to define and establish the federal government's legal authority on this sort of issue, which the judge kinda flouted with their ruling.
With that said, Pete says at this moment ... people do NOT have to mask up while flying, as long as the airline doesn't require it -- and none of them do, currently. As for ground-level public transit -- that's up to local, city or county policy.
Check out the full interview on Thursday's "TMZ Live," because we also grilled the Secretary on that infuriating issue affecting all of us ... gas prices!!!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
After talking shop ... we kinda nerded out with Pete on his 2 babies, whom he welcomed to the world with his husband, Chasten, last year. We get into the nitty-gritty (and poopy) ... and it sounds like Pete's enjoying parenthood to no end.
Congrats!

Melissa Gorga says she's on good terms with Teresa Giudice despite all the bad blood between her husband and her sister-in-law on the upcoming 'RHONJ' reunion show.
We got the 'Real Housewives' star leaving 1 Hotel West Hollywood and asked her about the state of her relationship with Teresa, who was seen arguing with Joe Gorga backstage in a preview for the reunion.
Melissa says all the fighting on camera doesn't change the fact she, Joe and Teresa are all family ... which to her means they're always on good terms. Seems blood is thicker than water for Melissa.
It's a pretty interesting response from Melissa ... considering she was on 'Watch What Happens Live' just last week, telling Andy Cohen she and Teresa haven't spoken since the reunion.
Still, it's clear there are lingering issues between Melissa and Teresa, which appear to come to a head during the reunion ... she tells us they don't speak to each other unless cameras are rolling.
The preview even shows Joe storming off the set after telling his fellow cast members, "I'm done, f*** you people" ... Melissa says it's a sign of how crazy the reunion show has become 'cause the men are now the ones walking off in a huff.
Teresa also accuses Melissa and Joe of "talking about my f***ing boyfriend" ... and Melissa tells us if she ever talks to Teresa's ex, Joe Giudice.

'Rust' Shooting Halyna Hutchins' Husband Outraged ... Over Release of Death Video
-
Exclusive
- 1.2K shares
Halyna Hutchins' husband and young son have been re-victimized, this time by the Santa Fe County Sheriff, who released video of her as she lay dying after being shot.
Matthew Hutchins' lawyer, Brian Panish, fired off a blistering email to Sheriff Adan Mendoza, saying he trampled on their dignity and privacy by releasing the video and other evidence in the case.
Panish says Mendoza promised to let Matthew review all the material before its release, but he double-crossed the family by releasing all the evidence without giving Matthew a chance to look first.
Panish says in his email, obtained by TMZ, "Your office trampled on the constitutional rights of Hutchins." Indeed, there's a constitutional right in New Mexico for victims to be treated with fairness and dignity, and Panish says those rights were squarely violated.
Maybe even worse, Panish notes the footage of Matthew's wife, who lay bleeding as medics frantically tended to her, will cause irreparable harm to both him and their 9-year-old son Andros. Panish writes, "We fear, for example, that this shocking footage of Andros' mother dying may be material used by bullies to emotionally abuse him in the future."
And what's especially maddening ... Panish says the Sheriff didn't have to release this evidence ... it was discretionary.
He ends with this ... "We demand that your office respect Matthew, Halyna and Andros Hutchins' constitutional rights of dignity, privacy, respect and fairness going forward. We also demand that your office take down the video footage of Halyna Hutchins dying on the church floor," adding, "While the damage of publishing that video is irreparable, taking down the video will end your office's complicity in causing future harm."

A sex worker in Nevada tells TMZ Sports she's so grateful for the revenue that the NFL Draft has brought her this month ... she wants to give Thursday's #1 overall pick a free "sex romp."
Roxanne Price -- a 27-year-old licensed sex worker -- tells us that Las Vegas escorts have taken a hit during the COVID pandemic ... but with the NFL draft coming to town this week, big money is finally starting to come back to the industry.
And, Price wants to thank the NFL for it all ... specifically by giving the draft's #1 overall pick this week top-notch service at the Chicken Ranch Brothel just outside of Las Vegas -- 100% free!
"The least I can do is offer the top draft pick the most valuable thing I possess, my premium erotic services at no charge," Price tells us. "It's my way of saying, 'Thank you' to the athletes that inspire us all."
Roxanne -- the 2017 Lover of the Year winner -- tells us her offer comes with a complimentary limo service and a promise to "cater to his fantasies."
And, if the #1 pick doesn't have time this weekend, Roxanne tells us he can schedule it for a future date.
FYI ... according to most mock drafts, the Jaguars will likely pick either Georgia pass rusher Travon Walker or Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson with the top pick.
So, what happens after the draft in Vegas ... stays in Vegas??

Rob Kardashian 'I Didn't Love Chyna When We Got Engaged' ... She Held Gun to My Head Several Times
4:26 PM PT -- Rob got heated on the stand, Chyna's attorney continued to point out the fact Rob didn't have any marks on his face after she allegedly attacked him with a metal rod. Rob shouted, "Stop trying to make it sound like it didn't happen ... There were no marks on my face or neck. That doesn't mean it didn't happen."
He also touched on loving photos Chyna had posted when the two were together, making it seem like they were in a happy relationship -- saying they were mostly Chyna's idea for social media clout. In photos, Rob said, "I don't like to leave the house, it upsets me. I'm insecure about my body. I've gained some weight. I don't like going out."
Rob Kardashian says his relationship with Blac Chyna started when he was going through the worst part of his life, and says he didn't even love her when they got engaged ... all during bombshell testimony.
Rob took the stand Wednesday in the case between Chyna and his family. He said things in his relationship with Chyna happened fast ... and thought she was right for him because she accepted him when he was going through his "lowest point."
He testified things went south quickly, and when he asked her to marry him, he didn't even love her ... "It wasn't real love. I had a baby with this girl."
Rob testified Chyna beat him at least 5 times over the course of their relationship. He continued, "I had a gun held to my head several times by this woman. That's not love."
Rob also detailed the night when Chyna allegedly strangled him with a phone cord, saying she'd been doing cocaine and drinking all night. He says the incident caused him to hire full time security out of fear for his life and for his daughter, Dream.
As we've reported, all of Rob's sisters, except Kendall and Kourtney, have taken the stand over the last couple of weeks. During Khloe's testimony, emails she had allegedly sent E! execs were read in which she expressed concerns Rob and Chyna's turbulent relationship could hurt the family brand ... she also suggested she might leave 'KUWTK' if the volatile behavior continued.
In other testimony, Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble say they believed Chyna had posed a very real threat to Rob's life ... Gamble says he intervened one night during a nasty fight between the couple -- where Chyna allegedly threatened to kill Rob.
Chyna's suing the family for $100 million ... alleging they torpedoed her "Rob & Chyna" show and in turn, caused her to lose out on a ton of money.

Hailey Bieber Suffered a Mini-Stroke Last Month ... Underwent Heart Procedure
Hailey Bieber is describing a medical emergency last month when she thought she had suffered a stroke and ended up in the hospital where doctors repaired a hole in her heart.
TMZ broke the story ... Hailey was rushed to the hospital after suffering stroke-like symptoms and doctors found a small blood clot in her brain. Turns out it was a TIA -- AKA a mini-stroke.
Now, Hailey is explaining what happened. She said she felt a "weird sensation" in her right arm at home with Justin, and her fingertips went numb. Suddenly, she couldn't even speak.
She was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, and there were certainly stroke symptoms, including drooping on the right side of her face.
The numbness and speech came back quickly, but doctors were obviously concerned. It's unclear what caused it, but Hailey had recently caught COVID along with Justin, so that could have been a factor. She says she also had just changed her birth control without consulting her doctor.
She was diagnosed with something called PFO -- a small opening in the heart. The 25-year-old underwent a procedure where doctors inserted a small, button-like object through the groin, and that apparently did the trick.
Hailey says she's been taking blood thinners daily since the event to avoid any future issues ... she's grateful her doctors were able to determine the cause and can now move on from the whole ordeal.

Olivia Wilde Served Custody Papers by Sudeikis at CinemaCon
5:00 PM PT -- A source close to Jason tells TMZ ... "Papers were drawn up to establish jurisdiction relating to the children of Ms. Wilde and Mr. Sudeikis."
The source adds ... "Mr. Sudeikis had no prior knowledge of the time or place that the envelope would have been delivered as this would solely be up to the process service company involved and he would never condone her being served in such an inappropriate manner."
Olivia Wilde endured a bit of embarrassment at CinemaCon this week -- while she was in the middle of screening the trailer of her new movie -- her ex served her legal docs.
The awkward moment was seen by multiple people who were in the room Tuesday when OW was on hand in Vegas to screen a never-before-seen trailer for her erotic thriller flick "Don't Worry Darling" -- which stars her beau Harry Styles and Florence Pugh.
The word is ... while Olivia was talking on stage, somebody came up and placed a manila envelope right down next to her at her feet -- which was marked 'Personal and Confidential.'
Olivia was photographed picking it up, taking a peek inside ... and then carrying on like nothing had really happened. But something certainly had -- according to Deadline, there were court papers in there courtesy of Jason Sudeikis ... with whom she shares two children.
The outlet says, citing sources, the docs involve child custody. As you know, they publicly split about a year and some change ago ... and since then, she's been in a whirlwind romance with Harry -- whom she also cast in her highly-anticipated film.
It appears that Jason and Olivia were getting along okay in the wake of their split -- but this clearly suggests otherwise. You gotta figure Jason wouldn't just do this to embarrass her if he didn't have to ... so, presumably, he hadn't been able to get these to her in a normal setting.

In any case, it definitely isn't pretty -- and lends to the idea that ... maybe they're not so copacetic as they put on. Also, this could potentially mean a custody battle is brewing. 😬
