Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sanchez Work It, Babe!!! Plays Photog on Superyacht

Jeff Bezos isn't too rich to be a good Instagram photog for his hot fiancée, Lauren Sanchez ... proving as much during an impromptu photo shoot on his superyacht.

The Amazon founder/multi-billionaire was kinda playing the role of head-over-heels simp Monday while aboard his new nautical plaything -- and by that ... we mean he was snapping sexy shots of LS, who was posing for him on the deck of his boat, wearing just a bikini.

When you got a lady as smoking hot as Lauren ... sometimes a gig like this just comes with the territory. At a certain point, ya gotta play photog for your girl -- and Jeff did his part.

As for the shoot itself ... well, it looks like JB was getting Lauren from the front, back, side and just about every other angle as she worked the camera for him. He was just using his camera phone for the pics -- and they might even end up on the 'Gram if we're lucky.

BTW, the soon-to-be-married couple was sailing Jeff's massive $500 million vessel -- which is 417 feet in length, complete with 3 masts -- out in Italy ... off the coast of Portofino, specifically. They landed on the boat via helicopter ... and eventually went jet-skiing.

It's just the latest homage Jeff has made to Lauren ... remember, there's a carved figurehead at the front of this yacht here that's sculpted in the shape of a beautiful woman -- and some see a resemblance to Lauren. Basically, it's possible/likely she was his muse in the art piece.

Now, with him proving to be a reliable partner for social media purposes ... it's full circle.

We've seen Jeff and Lauren use this superyacht quite a bit this summer. You'll recall ... they were out there last month soaking in the sun and showing off some skin. We've got a long season ahead of us ... and something tells us they'll be showing face (and bod) a lot more.

Gold Medalist Tori Bowie Died From Childbirth At Home in Bed

UPDATE

8:08 AM PT -- 6/13 -- We've learned Bowie was pregnant with a daughter.

In what has made a tragic death even harder to handle, gold medalist track star Tori Bowie was pregnant and in labor at the time she died ... TMZ has learned.

According to the coroner's report, obtained by TMZ, 32-year-old Bowie was found dead in bed at her Florida home on May 2. The report states she died from complications of childbirth, was about 8 months pregnant and "undergoing labor" when she passed.

TMZ broke the story -- Bowie's loved ones became concerned after they'd gone several days without hearing from her and called cops to do a welfare check on the young athlete. When deputies from the Orange County Sheriff's Office entered her home, they found Tori deceased.

At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil, Tori won three medals ... including one gold as a member of the women's 4x100 meter relay team, a silver in the 100-meter dash and bronze in the 200-meter dash.

In 2017, Tori was declared the world's fastest woman -- winning the 100-meter dash at the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London with a blistering time of 10.85 seconds.

At the time of her death, Tori's management team told us, "We've lost a client, dear friend, daughter and sister," the sports agency said. "Tori was a champion … a beacon of light that shined so bright! We're truly heartbroken and our prayers are with the family and friends."

Lily-Rose Depp Cheeky Fun In NYC With Girlfriend 070 Shake

"The Idol" star Lily-Rose Depp was spotted giving her girlfriend 070 Shake something to smile about ... having some hands-on fun together in the Big Apple.

LRD and her rapper GF were taking in NYC Sunday, but the busy city wasn't the only thing Shake was focused on -- digging around down Lily-Rose's short, black skirt!

Apart from the grabby embrace, the lovebirds grabbed some lunch at Lure and followed it up with a shopping trip at Balenciaga and The Vintage Twin stores.

For those unaware, Lily-Rose and Shake went Instagram official in May when the actress posted a pic of them kissing on her story, captioning it "4 MONTHS W MY CRUSH."

Since then, they've been spotted smooching at LAX as Lily-Rose returned home from the Cannes Film Festival.

And FYI -- Lily-Rose has been previously linked to the likes of Austin Butler and Timothée Chalamet, while Shake's dated singer Kehlani for about a year.

Clearly, these 2 are pretty comfortable around each other -- and can't get enough, too!

Marvel Star Tenoch Huerta Denies Sexual Assault Allegations

Tenoch Huerta, famous for playing Namor in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," is denying a recent sexual assault allegation against him.

The Marvel star broke his silence Monday after being accused Saturday of sexually assaulting musician María Elena Ríos, who also claimed he was a "sexual predator." Tenoch says her accusation is "false and completely unsubstantiated."

In a statement shared on social media, Tenoch says he could not let Ríos' allegation "go unchallenged any longer" ... he says they dated about a year ago for several months and their relationship was "entirely consensual at all times."

Tenoch says when he was dating Ríos they were in a "loving, warm and mutually supportive relationship" ... but when they split, he claims she "began to misrepresent our interactions both privately and in front of groups of mutual friends."

The actor says he's been working with a legal team to protect his reputation and adds ... "Although I am by no means perfect, I know that these allegations are simply untrue. And while I will always work to improve myself, I need to contest claims that are both false and offensive."

Tenoch ends his statement by saying ... "I am deeply grateful to my family and the people who have supported me and greatly appreciate everyone who is willing to look at the facts and reflect before rushing to an untrue and unjust conclusion."

Anita Baker Hey Babyface, Tell Your Crazy Fans To Pipe Down ... You're #2 On Tour And That's That!!!

Anita Baker says she won't stand for another minute of disrespect from Babyface or his rabid fan base ... and wants the R&B king to tell his fans he's not the most royal member on The Songstress Tour!!!

On Monday, Anita ripped into Babyface and a random smattering of his followers on Twitter, continuing her tirade from the day before.

According to Anita, Babyface has been breaching his contract as an opening act by staying onstage past his set time, which cuts into her headlining performance.

Fans lashed out at Anita for not acknowledging Babyface as her equal -- to which she informed him the "Whip Appeal" singer is certainly NOT ... at least as where The Songstress Tour is concerned.

The multi-city event is supposed to be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Anita's debut album ... but things have mostly been boiling in beef.

Back in May, Babyface assured TMZ that he and Anita were cool after his set was cut during the New Jersey show ... and this was after a 2-hour delay.

We reached out to Babyface to see if that's still the case. Stay tuned, maybe.

Leonardo DiCaprio Cools Off After Models Galore ... Family Fun On The Yacht

Leonardo DiCaprio is cooling off after spending time with a bunch of hot models ... having a blast with some of his family as his vacation continues on the Amalfi Coast.

The actor took a big leap into the water Sunday off a beautiful yacht ... soaking in some rays with his niece Normandie -- as well as his pops George and stepmother Peggy.

The gang's sleeping on the boat -- but took some time off for a sweet excursion, checking out the Blue Grotto sea caves in Capri.

As we reported, Leo went from the Cannes Film Festival to relaxation mode at the end of last month, lounging on the big boat with some of his buddies, including Tobey Maguire.

Of course, we've seen Leo with a couple of babes during his time abroad -- 22-year-old model Meghan Roche spent a night on the yacht with him, although there wasn't a lot of PDA going on ... at least, as far as we could see.

He also recently grabbed dinner with Gigi Hadid, his dad and stepmom, and a bunch of other folks at a big dinner party in London ... and followed it up the next night by arriving at the same hotel in separate cars -- with Gigi ridin' with George and Peggy!

Gotta be a lot for Leo, keeping up with the ladies ... sounds like some family time on the yacht could do him some good.

Britney & K-Fed Journalist Stands by Meth Story ... Kevin Said It!!!

Daphne Barak, the journalist claiming Kevin Federline linked Britney Spears to crystal meth, has come under heavy fire from the former couple ... but she's not backing down, insisting K-Fed made the statement, despite his denial.

A spokesperson for Mail on Sunday tells us Daphne and her team spent months working on a documentary with Kevin, his family and Britney's two sons -- Sean Preston and Jayden.

The rep says, "Daphne Barak has assured us that the quotes attributed to Kevin and the family are accurate and fairly reflect the interviews conducted, in which Kevin expressed his fears that Britney might be using crystal meth to Daphne and to her producer Erbil Gunasti and members of the film crew. He did so clearly and repeatedly."

They continue, "Kevin also made it clear to Daphne that he hoped someone would expose the situation, as he saw it, because that would be the way to get help for Britney."

What's more -- they say they reached out to Britney's reps for comments on the meth allegation ... but got no response.

For his part, Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan tells us in response, "Mail on Sunday knows no more than what they were told by Daphne. Accurate reporting might mean they accurately took down what Daphne told them but in no way means what Daphne told them was accurate."

TMZ broke the story -- Federline went scorched Earth on The Sun and Daily Mail Sunday after a report claimed he stated about Britney, "I fear she's on meth – I've been praying someone would make it public and that she wakes up ... It's terrifying. She is the mother of my boys."

After the story came out, Kevin told us, "It saddens our family that Daphne Barak and Erbil Gunasti have decided to fabricate lies and publish the heart ache our family has endured, along with the trauma of our minor children."

FALSE FLAG

Federline, however, never specified which part of the story was fabricated.

Marlon tells the whole thing wasn't his fault ... saying the agent had an attitude with him from the jump, and it only escalated. Wayans said he had 3 bags, and was asked to consolidate them to two, once he did that, Marlon tells us the gate agent then told him he needed to check a bag ... which caused him to get upset.

Marlon says United did reach out to him -- behind the scenes -- but it was only to stand behind their policy ... which he says was insult to injury.

TMZ broke the story ... MW got into it with a gate agent for UA Friday, as he was trying to fly out of Denver. A spokesperson for Denver PD told us, they gave him a citation for disturbing the peace after hearing both sides.

After the incident, the "White Chicks" star went off on Twitter ... saying he was treated unfairly by a 'rude' agent, which he saw especially unacceptable as a first-class passenger. He also told fans he was going to miss his Improv show that same night in Kansas City due to the whole ordeal. Marlon eventually left Denver on another airline.

The celebration of life went down over the weekend in Atlanta, with Jacky getting a grand send-off ... her casket was covered in beautiful flower bouquets, and outside the church DC was surrounded by loved ones as he released a dove into the air.

'L&HH's' Joseline Hernandez Arrested for Big Lex Beatdown ... During Mayweather Fight

061223_joseline_hernandez_kal 6/11/23
BACKSTAGE BRAWL
UPDATE

9:17 AM PT -- Cops clearly got wind of the incident, as Joseline Hernandez was arrested early Monday on at least 4 charges including trespassing and battery. She certainly doesn't look pleased in her mug shot -- obtained by TMZ.

UPDATE

Floyd Mayweather might've been throwing jabs this weekend, but Joseline Hernandez was handing out haymakers backstage ... landing several on Big Lex.

The former "Love & Hip Hop" star -- dressed in light blue -- was on hand Sunday during FM's exhibition fight against John Gotti III in South Florida ... as were a ton of other Zeus Network-connected reality stars, like Big Lex for example.

Lex -- once featured on Joseline's own reality show, "Joseline's Cabaret" -- was on the receiving end of a brutal beatdown during the boxing match.

The video of her taking a whoopin' is going viral on social media right now ... and for good reason. You see Joseline holding Lex in a headlock while she wails on her -- which got so violent and tumultuous, it actually ended up leaving BL flailing and topless.

Clearly, Joseline got the better of Lex in the moment ... eventually, the women were separated. However, Joseline wasn't done using her fists -- she continued to throw punches at a bunch of different people in the vicinity (even men) ... and seemed to strike at random.

At one point, an unknown woman walking by all the commotion threw a drink in Joseline's direction ... and then got chased out of the building once JH realized where it came from.

It's unclear what precipitated the brawl -- but it obviously had Joseline in a wild state.

CHAOS IN THE ARENA

This wasn't the only chaos in the building that night ... another brouhaha broke out in the actual ring itself, not between the boxers -- but between their teams and management. Gotti was disqualified in the 6th for continuous holding ... and yet, he continued to battle.

Floyd's team jumped in to stop him themselves ... and that spurred an all-out rumble. Safe to say the antics made it one of the craziest sporting events anyone's seen in quite a while.

Khloe & Tristan Son Had Kardashian Last Name at Birth ... Later Changed to Thompson

Khloe Kardashian wasn't messing around when her son was born, giving him the Kardashian last name instead of Tristan Thompson's ... but later had a change of heart.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Tatum Thompson -- as he's now known -- was initially legally a Kardashian. Our sources say Tatum also wasn't his first name, though we're not sure what first name Khloe originally chose for the kiddo.

Eventually, our sources say Khloe decided to drop the Kardashian name for Thompson, and that's now Tatum's legal name moving forward.

As for why Khloe may have made the initial decision to leave Tristan out of things -- it seems pretty clear ... as we reported, Tristan got another woman, Maralee Nichols, pregnant after Khloe and Tristan had decided to go ahead with a surrogate to carry Tatum.

TMZ broke the story about the surrogacy in July of 2022, just a couple months after it was discovered Tristan had gotten Nichols pregnant. It was about a month later when Tatum was born, so you gotta imagine there was still a lot for Khloe and Tristan to figure out ... making it totally understandable Khloe wanted her son to have her last name.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Obviously, things have gotten better since that time, and it's almost certainly the reason Khloe decided to change Tatum's legal name to include Thompson.

As we've reported on multiple occasions, Khloe and Tristan are incredible co-parents ... hitting events together with their daughter True all the time. We were the first to report both Khloe and Tristan were at True's pre-K graduation last week ... along with exes Kylie and Travis Scott and family foe Blac Chyna.

With plenty of milestones and significant happenings for their son for the next several decades, it's nice to see Khloe and TT on the same page.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Marshalls Stun Gun Thieves Nabbed After Wild Police Pursuit ... And More Shoplifting!!!

060823-marshalls-security-guard-kal2
TASED BY THIEVES
TMZ.com

The two females caught on video using a stun gun to jack a cart full of stuff from a Marshalls are finally in jail -- this after cops say they were led on a wild police pursuit.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the girls -- who were seen on video deploying a stun gun to rob a Studio City Marshalls last week -- were arrested Sunday and taken into custody ... but not before they led police on an insane chase through the South Bay.

We're told the young ladies have allegedly hit other Marshalls stores in L.A. County -- however, cops say it appears they only used the stun gun in that one instance Wednesday.

As for how they were eventually caught, welp ... it sounds like something out of a movie. Hawthorne PD says a call came in for a robbery yesterday at a clothing retail store ... and that witnesses saw the 3 women fleeing in a white Audi sedan.

HPD says a responding officer saw the vehicle on the road and attempted to initiate a stop -- but they say the car failed to yield and then turned into a dead-end alley ... only to turn around and drive straight forward toward the officer who was in hot pursuit.

Police say the Audi slammed into the cop car, and continued to drive away ... leaving the cruiser seriously damaged. As the Audi continued to drive, law enforcement claims it hit 2 other vehicles on the road before officers were finally able to get them in cuffs.

Cops say the suspects are all minors -- aged 13, 16 and 17 -- and that they were treated at a local hospital before being hauled off to jail. BTW, we're told three of these girls are the same ones involved in the Studio City incident, and that only 2 of them were seen in our video from last week.

For now, cops say the case remains under investigation.

Rubi Rose Sued Your 'TWORK' Video Fire Truck Ruined My Art Studio!!!

Rubi Rose's 2021 "TWORK" music video was responsible for the destruction of some very valuable art ... so says the owner of the property next to the rapper's Los Angeles filming location.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, a renowned contemporary sculptor named Analia Saban's art studio/creative space is suing Rubi, video directors Jay and Georgio Rodriguez, and her label HitCo, claiming the music video shoot involved a high-pressure fire truck hose that ended up causing major damage to the artist's building and art pieces.

Saban claims you can spot the exact moment above when the water from the fire hose breached Analia's studio ... and says the unwelcome water damaged the building, destroyed valuable art, and caused at least six figures in overall damage.

Hollywood Fire Authority, a Los Angeles-based company that rents firefighter equipment, is also named in the suit ... for allegedly failing to properly train Rubi and the crew on using the equipment. After all, the high-pressured fire hoses aren't exactly toys like water guns!!!

Analia says she has undeniable proof the "TWORK" video wrecked her studio and is suing for at least $300K in damages.

We reached out to Rubi and HitCo for a response. No word back yet!!!

Emmy-Winning Actress Uzo Aduba Makes Grand Entrance With Hubby At Tony Awards ... We're Havin' a Baby!!!

Uzo Aduba hit the Tony Awards Sunday for Broadway's biggest night ... but she had an even bigger surprise, revealing she's having her first child!

The Emmy-winning "Orange Is the New Black" actress arrived at the United Palace Theater in NYC and marked the occasion by unbuttoning her bright orange suit jacket to show the world her baby bump. Aduba also confirmed to People magazine she and her husband were about to become proud parents.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Although it's unclear how far along she is, Aduba might want to stock up on toys and onesies if she hasn't already ... looks like the little one could pop out at any moment.

Of course, Aduba was all smiles as she posed for photos with her film director husband, Robert Sweeting, who could hardly contain his own excitement about the new addition to their family.

Aduba married Sweeting in New York in 2020, but she didn't make it public until the following year in a heartfelt Instagram post quoting the movie, "When Harry Met Sally."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The message, in part, read, "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."

Congrats you two!!

PGA Golfer Adam Hadwin Leveled By Security At Canadian Open ... For Celebrating Friend's Win

pga security
SERIOUS SECURITY
Twitter / @RBCCanadianOpen

A security guard was left saying "sorrey" after the Canadian Open on Sunday ... when he mistakenly LAID OUT a PGA Tour golfer who ran onto the green to celebrate his buddy's big victory!!

The wild moment went down shortly after Nick Taylor nailed a 72-foot eagle putt to win the tournament on the fourth playoff hole in Toronto ... which made him the first Canada native to win the event in more than half a century.

Adam Hadwin -- who finished tied for 12th place in the same tourney -- was super stoked for his fellow Canadian's historic win ... so he grabbed a bottle of champagne and sprayed it as he darted toward Taylor.

But one security guard went into protective mode before Hadwin could even get near the big winner ... 'cause he rushed over and put the pro's ass on the grass!!

A group of people darted over to check on Hadwin right after the brutal hit ... but thankfully, he wasn't injured. Taylor looked upset over it all ... yelling as he watched his friend get laid out.

Hadwin has been a good sport about it all, though ... cracking jokes and having a playful interaction with Carolina Panthers receiver Adam Thielen.

Hadwin's wife, Jessica, also laughed off the situation ... saying, "I'm thrilled to report that @ahadwingolf is still among the land of the living and in true Canadian form, apologized to the security guard for being tackled."

Who says golf is boring?!?!

Beach Bear Shocks FL Beachgoers ... Walks Right Out of Water!!!

BEACH BEAR
Storyful

Some beachgoers in Florida got more than some surf, sand and sun over the weekend ... thanks to a friendly bear that made itself at home, walking right out of the water!!!

Check out the clip, shot Sunday in Destin, showing the black bear first swimming in the water before taking to land seemingly comfortable with all the other people around.

Obviously, most people were stunned, staring at the animal as it carried on like a pet dog enjoying a beach day -- you can even hear one kid yell out, "It's a bear!!!"

A witness told Fox13 he started recording as soon as he spotted the animal, saying, "It kept swimming in. He got to shore, shook off, and ran into the brush in the sand dunes ... I think most people were shocked instead of being scared. No one expected to see a bear in the Gulf of Mexico."
