Larsa Pippen Scoops Up Miami Penthouse!!!

Larsa Pippen has her new home base in Miami ... 'cause TMZ has learned she's scored a brand new penthouse.

We're told 'The Real Housewives of Miami' star scooped up the condo earlier this year for $3.375 million, and it's a steal at that price ... seeing as how it was on the market for $3.9 million.

The 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom pad is full of luxury -- the building comes with 5 pools (1 pool is so passe), a game room, boxing studio, fitness center and even a recording studio!!!

Literally something for everyone.

If that isn't enough ... the penthouse is located just minutes from Miami Beach and South Beach.

As you can see, there's a ton of space -- 3,312 sq. feet to be exact -- for entertaining good "friends" like Michael Jordan's son, Marcus.

It also has floor-to-ceiling windows ... great lighting for all those IG selfies Larsa might will definitely take.

Larsa had been, until recently, renting in Cali after selling her Fort Lauderdale mansion last September for $10.5 million.

Now, she's back in South Florida, with a brand new place to call home.

Seth Semilof and Kamal Hotchandani of HL Real Estate Group repped Larsa in the purchase. Seth tells us Larsa got an amazing deal on the pad -- paying under $1k per sq. foot is very low for a MIA penthouse.

Sarah Snook Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Sarah Snook's looks are strategically gorgeous!

Here is 23-year-old version of the Australian actress looking quite elegant with an updo and a red lip at the "Water For Elephants" premiere in Sydney back in 2011 (left). This was the same year she was cast in the drama/romance film "Sleeping Beauty."

And, 11 years later ... the beautiful "Succession" star -- who's nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for this year's Emmy's -- recently let her hair down at a screening in New York City (right).

She may be the best looking in the Roy family, but ...

The question is ...

Sarah Snook ...

2KBABY I Hope My 15 Face Tats Piss Off Haters ... Zero F***s to Give!!!

090922-2KBABY-kal
FACE THE HATERS
TMZ.com

"Old Streets" rapper 2KBABY isn't letting his face tat critics stop his grind ... if anything they're motivating him ahead of the release of his "Scared 2 Luv" album.

We caught up with 2KBABY this week ... fresh out the tattoo parlor, of course, where he added even more ink to his face -- including a pair of hearts and the album title on opposite sides of his face.

Despite the hearts, 2K didn't get much love from the fans, just a lot of noise from the haters ... and he tells TMZ Hip Hop the reactions tested his patience a bit.

Call it a colorful act of defiance, but 2K says he'll keep pushing the limits of his body art -- he does NOT care about pain, and actually had some words for rappers who use numbing creams while getting tatted.

As for fan reactions -- he says he'll be watching to see how many of his 600K followers are down for the long haul. Everyone else is invited to dine on his genitalia ... although, he used slightly more colorful words.

Less aggressively, the Louisville-born rapper told us 'S2L' will be a collection of cinematic songs ... reflecting his life experiences and delivered in audio format.

2K says he's only one song away from completing the new album and "Old Streets" also went platinum this week ... just a few more bones for his haters to gnaw on!!!

Celebrity Scramble Guess Who!

Behind this scooped-out shot is a musician from Fort Lauderdale, FL ... and although he may tend to stay out of the public eye ... he doesn't shy away from performing alongside some of the music industry's biggest stars.

In 2011, he performed at the "Think Pink Rocks" concert with Mac Miller, Sean Kingston, Asher Roth and Flo Rida. And just when you think he couldn't keep up with some of the best ... think again! He scored gold when Simone Biles played the love interest in his "Overnight" music video.

Need another minute to figure out who this scrambled celeb is? We will "Wait For You."

Tommy Lee I'm on OnlyFans!!!

Tommy Lee is going where many others have gone before him to show a little skin -- namely, OnlyFans ... where TL suggests he'll post penis pics and then some.

The Mötley Crüe drummer was performing in Vegas Friday night -- the final stop on the band's tour -- and at one point, he made a little speech to the crowd ... saying he was kinda bummed his explicit photo was taken down by Instagram, so he found a solution.

The answer, it seems, is to head to OF -- where Tommy says you can post what you want without any fear. He then showed off the goods ... not his front side, but the back.

Indeed ... the words "Only" and "Fans" were plastered across his ass for the whole world to see.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Tommy took to IG soon afterward to confirm he had in fact started an account, posting a similar shot of his butt and adding this caption as well ... "You heard it here tonight www.onlyfans.com/TommyLee 😜 cum join me over there for fun that Instagram won’t let us have here!" He also added some pics of his wife, Brittany Furlan --  maybe as a tease?

Many will recall ... Tommy threw up a nude about a month ago out of nowhere, which took the internet by storm. He later said he did it in drunkenness -- but now, it sounds like he wants to throw up more. He'd be far from the first celeb to jump over to the sultry site.

Other stars who've joined include Bhad Bhabie, Bella Thorne, Tyga, Chris Brown, Denise Richards, Aaron Carter ... and others. Supposedly it's a cash cow -- so milk away, bud.

OG 'Little Mermaid' Jodi Benson's Ariel Besmirched ... Amid Halle Bailey's 1st Look

Halle Bailey finally showed the world what she looks like as Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" reboot, but per usual -- Twitter's found a way to ruin it ... by tearing down Jodi Benson.

Here's the deal ... Disney dropped the new 'Little Mermaid' trailer Friday, and while most everyone was in awe of the first look at Halle under the sea -- some couldn't help but draw comparisons to the original voice actor who played Ariel back '89 ... that'd be JB.

Some were grabbing clips from the animated film, including iconic singing parts, and putting them up side by side with Halle's -- going on to mock Jodi's performance, by saying she sounds "a little flat."

There was more mocking ... including folks posting shots of Halle's Ariel next to the animated Ariel and noting that HB has a ton of Grammys noms, while cartoon Ariel (aka, Jodi) had zero. FWIW, 'The Little Mermaid' did in fact win a handful of Grammys at the time.

Bottom line though ... they're besmirching the iconic work Jodi did all those years ago.

There was also someone who was trying to create drama between these two ... which appears to be completely manufactured. They posted a screenshot of what looks to be a post on Jodi's IG story, showing a photo of animated Ariel with the caption, "Love my Ariel."

The Twitter user who grabbed this is trying to make it seem like Jodi posted this in response to the trailer coming out -- and as a shot at Halle, but that's not the case ... it's an old post.

Fact is, Jodi has been nothing but supportive over Halle's casting -- something a good handful on the bird app noted as they tried to shut down this anti-Jodi narrative building among rabid Halle stans. The question ... why can't we celebrate each woman's take???

There's been some racist uproar over the fact Halle, who's Black, was cast at all in this role -- and now, this response seems to be extreme opposite reaction -- at the expense of Jodi.

Truth be told, Halle looks and sounds fantastic as Ariel ... as did Jodi. We would ask, can't we all just get along and enjoy things??? But, unfortunately, we already know the answer.

Harrison Ford Emotional Over New 'Indy' Flick ... This One'll Kick Your Ass!!!

UPDATE

2:55 PM PT -- Harrison Ford reunited with an old friend/costar during Disney's convention -- none other than Ke Huy Quan!!!

UPDATE
UPDATE

The two actors posed for a photo backstage, where KHQ was hugging up on one-time 'Indiana Jones' hero. You might recall ... Ke Huy played Short Round in 'Temple of Doom' way back in the '80s, and now he's all grown up and getting work in Hollywood anew.

UPDATE

In addition to starring in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' this year -- to much fanfare -- he's also been announced as being cast in the new season of 'Loki.' Totally awesome!

Harrison Ford doesn't tear up much, but for his new 'Indiana Jones' movie -- he did just that ... promising it'll leave an impression.

The legendary actor was on hand Saturday during the D23 Expo, where the Mouse House is showing off a ton of projects they got in the works ... and the fifth installment to the beloved franchise was among the most highly anticipated.

Word is, they showed the first trailer for 'IJ5' ... and right afterward, HF came out on stage himself to talk to the crowd which had packed the place. It was here that he got emotional.

Check it out -- Harrison says this latest turn as Indy packs a punch, and not just that ... but he says it has a lot of heart, just the originals did. While saying this, the dude seemed to get a little choked up -- to which the audience responded positively with cheers and applause.

He also shouted out his costar, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who's also in the flick -- saying she's a big reason why this one rocks. As he puts it, 'Indy 5' will "kick your ass."

Also of note ... Harrison says this is gonna be his last outing as the titular character, telling the crowd this is the last time he falls down for us. The guy's literally 80 years old, so ... totally understandable.

In any case, sounds like this will be one you can't miss.

Harry and Meghan Join Will and Kate at Windsor ... Observe Flowers for Queen

FLOODED WITH FLOWERS
MSNBC

William and Kate appear to have extended an olive branch to Harry and Meghan -- inviting them to Windsor Castle to take in the public tributes for the Queen.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were on hand Saturday, standing shoulder to shoulder with the new Prince and Princess of Wales as they stepped out and observed the scores of flowers and cards left by commoners outside the palace gates ... and there were a lot.

Each couple bent down and got a closer look at what the Brits had left there ... and they all seemed to be in harmony, not too distant and definitely showing solidarity in their mourning.

It's quite a sight, considering things haven't been all that great between Harry and William of late -- evidenced in the fact that they hadn't even seen each other immediately prior to the Queen's death ... when PH and MM were in and around the U.K. within a stone's throw.

Still, it appears they've put their differences aside at this most crucial time and are finally together. The crowds loved to see it too -- Harry and Meghan were especially getting a lot of attention as they shook hands and greeted folks.

There'll be a funeral for QE2 on September 19, and she'll lie in state for 4 days before that. Thousands of people are expected to attend the ceremony -- Harry and Meg included.

Swedish House Mafia Pull Off Epic Show in Rain Despite Damage to Millions of $$ in Equipment

RAIN OR SHINE
TMZ.com

Swedish House Mafia had their fans dancing in the pouring rain, despite their team begging them to cut things short in order to save millions of dollars worth of equipment.

The DJ trio sold out Banc of California Stadium Friday in LA while the rain poured down for almost the entire show. Sources close to the group tell us their team begged the guys to end things early on several occasions in order to preserve equipment, but they insisted to keep playing for their fans.

THE SHOW GOES ON

We’re told as a result, millions worth of audio and stage design equipment will need to be repaired or entirely replaced.

SHM has been rocking shows across the US over the last few weeks, and LA was the biggest outdoor show they’ve done on tour … they even added more effects for the venue.

Of course, the group headlined closing night of Coachella earlier this year, after dropping their album “Paradise Again.”

We’re told everything will be good to go for their next show, Tuesday in Vancouver.

A$AP Rocky So Over Rihanna ... In This Case, Literally!!!

bridging the gap
TMZ.com

A$AP Rocky won't pass on the opportunity to dap someone up -- even if that means he's gotta do it right above the mother of his child, Rihanna, from down below.

That's exactly what happened early Saturday morning in NYC, where the couple (and new parents) were hanging out at a joint called the Canary Club in downtown Manhattan -- where we're told they hung out for about an hour and enjoyed themselves with friends.

Speaking of pals, AR seems to have ran into an old one on the spot -- we got video of him greeting a good buddy of his, whom he appeared genuinely surprised and happy to see.

The next part is a little awkward, just 'cause he goes for a handshake/hug -- but does it right over RiRi ... and the other guy damn near almost takes a tumble onto her, seated directly underneath them both. The scene is funny to watch, because at one point ... Rihanna actually grabs A$AP's waist, as if to tell him -- "YO, WHAT THE HECK?!"

Rocky eventually pulls away and introduces the friend ... and that was that. He and Rihanna left together as if nothing had happened, so it was all gravy in the end.

Cool to see them hitting the town -- as you know, they just had a son a few months ago -- and while dealing with a newborn must be tough, it's great they're finding time for themselves. Maybe just walk around next time, though, for an overdue reunion. 😅

Aaron Rodgers Leans Pro-Life But Supports Pro-Choice ... Government, Stay Out of Our F**king Business!!!

Aaron Rodgers has no blind allegiance to anything ... he scorns politicians -- be them Democrats or Republicans -- who impose the way they want to live on their citizens, and that includes abortion.

Rodgers appeared on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast, which drops Sunday, and SFGATE got a preview.

The famed QB ridicules Cali, saying "State's going to s**t, but I'm hanging on." He's especially angry at the State's COVID restrictions, saying, "I grew up in a small town, very little cases up in Chico, California, but all the small businesses? F***ing gone."

Aaron lasered in on a bill that's apparently about to be signed by Governor Gavin Newsom that would put a doctor's license in jeopardy if he/she promotes COVID "misinformation." He asked, "What standard of information."  FYI ... this is exactly the worry doctors have over vague restrictions on abortion.

Speaking of ... Aaron says, "I don't believe the government should have any control over what we do with our bodies." He went on to say, "As much as I might lean pro-life, I don't want the government to tell me I can't smoke a cigar, I can't have a drink of alcohol, I can't choose my own medical decisions. And if I'm a woman, don't f**king tell me what do."

And then the key point ... "Like whether or not I agree with what you decide to do, who cares, and the government should not have a decision that infringes upon my own personal freedoms."

Rogers agrees with Bill ... Donald Trump is like a sore loser on the football field. Bill says, "You take it like a man. You don't go, 'We won that game.' That's what Donald Trump does. We won that game. You didn't. You lose it. It happens. You lose sometimes. Be a f**king man and just own up like every other president has ever done."

Aaron gets a lot of criticism, but you gotta say ... he's a pretty consistent libertarian.

The podcast drops Sunday.

Queen Elizabeth II The Queen is Dead ... Long Live Latifah!!!

The death of Queen Elizabeth II has caused confusion in America, because apparently lots of folks were wiping away tears thinking another queen had passed.

Queen Latifah is been trending for more than a day, according to Hip-HopDX   ... because lots of folks thought she was the one who left this earth.

Think about it ... if you were playing "Family Feud" and the clue was "Most Famous Queen," the #1 answer would clearly be QEII but Latifah would come in a strong second.

According to the outlet, the whole thing started after someone tweeted, “I told my mama the Queen died, she talking about ‘LATIFAH ????'” It became a game of telephone, and the rumor spread like wildfire!

Another group tried to reassure the panicked that the beloved, 52-year-old actress/rapper was alive and well.

Funny enough, Latifah told James Corden awhile back, after her 1996 hit, “Set it Off,” she put a “no death” clause in her acting contracts so she couldn’t get killed off in future flicks ... “When I first started doing movies, I always had these death scenes … and apparently I died too well. And then I caught on, like wait a minute, if I die in these movies, I can’t be in the sequel!”

God save Queen Latifah!

TAKIN' SHOTS

Parties coast-to-coast Friday night, with Drake hosting the Nike Maxim Awards in Beaverton, Oregon ... AKA Niketown.

Here's what stands out ... Drake did stand-up, and he was pretty funny. Among the yuks ... "Nike is 50. Nike's so old, it's wearing New Balance!" Respectable, for sure.

Drake took aim at Kanye, Tyga, Adidas and Reebok. He tipped his hat to the Nike stable of stars, including LeBron, Serena, Kevin Durant, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Virgil Abloh and Cristiano Ronaldo.

At the event, stars like Travis Scott, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ronaldinho, Sheryl Swoopes, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony were there for all of Drizzy's jokes.

While most folks wear Nike on their feet, Drake decided to go north and wear it on his head!

Harry & Meghan Royal Family Could Collapse ... Unless 'Dark Skin' Comments Are Explained

There's a massive cloud hanging over The Royal Family regarding the "dark skin" comment that was allegedly made about Harry and Meghan's son Archie, and if it's not addressed soon, it could spell the beginning of the end of the monarchy ... according to a royal expert.

As you know, it remains a mystery who within the family raised concerns about how dark Archie's skin would be when Meghan Markle was pregnant -- a stunning revelation she made in an interview with Oprah. Most experts say the likely suspects are Charles, Camilla or William.

THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW
TMZ.com

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield tells us she believes unless the issue is ironed out privately and also explained to the public, it could cause folks to push away from the Royals.

Schofield says supporters really started to question the morals of King Charles, Prince William and Queen Consort Camilla after Meghan made the allegation. Schofield says disappointment in The Royals still looms, but could be lessened with a proper explanation.

In order for things to turn around, Schofield believes people need to know exactly who made the comment, how it was said, and if it was done with malicious intent.

Of course, if it turns out there truly was racist intention behind the comment, things will go bad quickly ... but Schofield believes the only way for The Royal Family to continue on without issue is for the comment to be aired out once and for all.

21 Savage ICE Arrest Cops Were Wrong ... Throw Out the Evidence, Judge!!!

21 Savage wants all evidence collected during his 2019 stop suppressed ... because the superstar rapper says officers had no right to stop him in the first place.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ, 21 Savage's team filed a motion to prevent prosecutors from using any of the evidence collected after he was stopped -- claiming he was doing nothing wrong back in February 2019, when law enforcement pulled him over, making it an unlawful stop.

You might recall -- it's been a minute -- officers claim 21 threw codeine out of the car along with his keys when they pulled him over.

As for the firearm cops found in the car ... 21 says "there was no illegality for the weapon to be in the car." Regardless, the rap star was charged with drug and gun possession, and is facing deportation back to the UK ... his birthplace.

The case has been going on for years, which has made it a little difficult to maneuver as a rapper.
