Joe & Sophie Grabbed Lunch with Daughters Days Before Custody Lawsuit

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were seemingly in each other's good graces just days before she sued him over custody of their daughters ... grabbing lunch as one big happy family.

In photos taken Monday and obtained by TMZ, you see Joe, Sophie and their two girls all sitting together at Momofuku Noodle Bar Uptown in New York City. A witness tells us there were zero signs of drama between the two and everything seemed amicable.

What the witness didn't catch, however, was if the four all arrived together or separately ... and who came with the kids if they weren't together.

Of course, that's a super important point given what's unfolded with the couple in the last 48 hours.

As we reported, Sophie sued Joe in federal court Thursday claiming he wasn't allowing Sophie to take their daughters to live in Europe, a plan she says was in place for a long time. What's more, Sophie claimed Joe had hidden the kid's passports, making it more difficult.

Sources close to Joe tell us he was totally blindsided by Sophie's filing.

In a statement from Joe's team, we were told he was simply following what was ordered by a judge in Florida ... the kids can't be relocated during the divorce proceedings. Joe says when things do settle down and they put a plan in place he'll do whatever it takes to figure out a custody plan -- even if the kids live in a different country.

Since lunch with Joe, Sophie's been hitting the town with her seemingly newfound bestie, Taylor Swift ... hanging out both Tuesday and Thursday night in The Big Apple.

The viral golfer who ripped his shirt off and threatened to fight others is no longer welcome at the scene of his bizarre outburst ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The golfer has reportedly been identified as John Reeb, a middle-aged man from Ohio with an extensive criminal history.

We spoke with Heather Ryan, the general manager of Crooked Creek Golf Course in Ottawa Lake, MI, who tells us Reeb is permanently banned from the course due to the behavior he showed in the viral video.

We're told the people Reeb threatened reported him to Crooked Creek staff shortly after the incident ... Reeb was then asked to leave the course and told he couldn't ever come back.

Heather tells us Reeb has also been banned from Cherrywood Golf Club ... another course they own in Ottawa Lake.

Staff at both courses are fully briefed on Reeb and have been given photos of him to make sure he doesn't enter.

Matthew McConaughey Alleged Stalker Shows Up at Book Event ... Restraining Order In Place Forces Her to Leave

Matthew McConaughey's decision to ensure the safety of his fans paid off -- proactively getting a restraining order against an obsessive woman -- and allowing cops to intervene when she showed up at a recent meet-and-greet event.

Sources close to the actor tell us the woman, who has been bothering him for years, showed up over the weekend where McConaughey was promoting his new book.

We're told she was greeted by police, informed of the restraining order, and escorted off the property without incident.

Our sources say McConaughey understood the potential risks the woman could pose if she showed up, and wanted to make sure his fans -- including young kids -- were safe ... so that's why he decided to go to court before the event.

The woman's allegedly been an issue for a long time -- with bizarre emails, concerning letters and frivolous lawsuits. Matthew has been able to ignore the woman, but things recently came to a head when she allegedly stated she was planning on attending Matthew's event to promote his new book.

Good guy McConaughey strikes again.

"EVERYBODY MAKES MISTAKES"

Chrisean addressed the now-viral video showing her young son's head dangling around while she held him in a carrier at Walmart. Rock admits fault for not cradling his head properly, but says the woman who recorded her struggling with the baby could've offered assistance if she felt there was a problem.

Chrisean also called out Blueface -- who took a jab at Chrisean after the video went viral --claiming her calls to him went unanswered. Rock explained she was juggling the baby, dog and 2 full carts with only 2 hands. Chrisean says she was stretched to the limit.

Blue, for his part, says he wasn't ragging on Chrisean over the Walmart but says she's going to have to play the part of the adult when he's not around to save the day.

Dwyane Wade I Tried Breaking Up With Gab Union ... After Having Kid With Another Woman

HAVING THE DIFFICULT CONVERSATION
Club Shay Shay

Dwyane Wade is opening up on one of the most challenging times of his life ... admitting he nearly ended things with his now-wife, Gabrielle Union, after finding out he was having a child with another woman.

The Miami Heat legend -- who fathered his 9-year-old son, Xavier, with Aja Metoyer during a pause in his relationship with Union in 2013 -- broke down his mental struggles with the circumstances during his appearance on Shannon Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast this week ... saying it's something the couple still deals with to this day.

"It hasn't been perfect," Wade said. "It will never be perfect. We go to therapy, been to therapy. We've had shouts about it, regular conversations about it. It's going to continue to be something that I have to work at and work on."

Wade said he considered cutting ties with Union to avoid facing the music ... but he's thankful she didn't give up on their love for each other.

"I tried to pussyfoot around it," Wade continued. "I tried to break up with her. 'Hey, things have been bad lately.' 'Hey, we've been having a little distance in our relationship anyway.' I tried all of that. She kept showing up."

Wade -- who married Union in 2014 -- explained there is no way he'd be able to navigate through the rough waters without his partner ... but made it clear he also feels for his son, who will always have to live with the narrative.

"When it comes to my son, that's hard for him. This is going to always be there. He's done nothing. It's a stain that's on him for no reason."

Jeannie Mai No Hookup with Mario Lopez ... Zero Infidelity Amid Jeezy Divorce

Ever since Jeezy filed to divorce Jeannie Mai, one particular unfounded rumor's gathered steam online -- that she cheated on him with Mario Lopez -- but we're told all that rank speculation is a load of BS.

Sources close to Jeannie tell TMZ ... there's absolutely no truth to any rumblings of infidelity between her and the "Access Hollywood" host, or with anyone else, for that matter.

It seems the false buzz stems from the fact Jeannie was a guest cohost with Mario last month on his show, but we're told any perceived chemistry between them is simply professional. Translation: It's showbiz, folks.

As for her divorce, our sources say Jeannie's devastated, and heartbroken and is focusing on doing whatever's best for their daughter, 1-year-old Monaco.

For those unaware, Jeannie shared some clips last month from her week cohosting the entertainment news show with Mario, which no one saw as significant at the time.

But, as we reported, Jeezy filed for divorce in Georgia earlier this month, and in his docs said there's "no hope for reconciliation."

Since then, fans online have been looking at Jeannie and Mario's work together through a different lens -- but, again, people in her world say fans are unfairly, and incorrectly, interpreting their working relationship.

Matthew McConaughey Gets Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker ... Feared She'd Jeopardize Book Event

Matthew McConaughey got a restraining order against a woman he says has stalked and harassed him for over a year ... filing for protection before an in-person event he feared she'd attend.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Matthew claims he's been subjected to harassment from the woman since April 2022 -- saying she has sent him "unhinged letters, emails, and frivolous lawsuits designed to lure me into court to contact me."

He claims she thinks she's in a relationship with Matthew and co-authored his books with him ... adding he's never contacted her and told his security to treat her kindly when talking to her, but wanted them to make it clear he doesn't want to talk.

He says things have escalated, claiming she bought a ticket to a recent photo op event for his children's book, "Just Because," in L.A., and planned to travel "over 300 miles" to meet him.

Matthew claims she also sent a "threatening email" to the bookstore ahead of the event, confirming her attendance.

Clearly, the judge agreed she was an issue ... granting the temporary order for Matthew.

Nick Cannon Nicki's Husband's Tarnishing Her Brand!!! She Vows a Tell-All

Nick Cannon agrees with Charlamagne Tha God's recent hot takes about Nicki Minaj's husband Kenneth Petty being bad for business ... meaning, her business as an artist.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Nick and his 'Daily Cannon' cohorts emptied the clip on their recent broadcast ... with one cohost even declaring Kenneth should officially be referred to as "Nicki Minaj's Husband" from this point forward.

Petty is currently serving 120 days house arrest for threatening Offset on social media amid Nicki and Cardi B's cold war -- a violation of his existing probation as a registered sex offender.

Untitled design (52)

CTG recently tagged Petty with "Donkey Of The Day" dishonors over his street life act, and Nick said much the same ... even joking Petty should have his television privileges revoked while he serves his house arrest.

That might make for a testy household, and while Nicki hasn't come to her spouse's defense yet ... she's been defending her own name as she takes on her home's swatter.

She's promising both fans and foes that she'll be dropping bombs on her Queen Radio program later today. Grab a hard hat for the fallout!!!

Shawn Mendes Groceries Take A Tumble Out His Car Nothin' Holding 'Em Back!

Shawn Mendes faced a produce catastrophe while unloading groceries at home ... because his food took a tumble right out the trunk!!!

He finished up a grocery run Thursday but experienced the mishap in his driveway when he went around back to grab the goods out of his Range Rover -- unlucky for him, the items came pouring out of his trunk, with the bag tipping over entirely.

Shawn, who's still rocking his beard, tried his best to catch the falling grub, but to no avail. It all went down as his driveway's gate closed on him ... with, arguably, perfect comedic timing.

Shawn eventually came around the front to pick up the rogue potatoes before heading back inside with the salvaged food.

It happens to the best of 'em.

Taylor Swift & Sophie Turner Girls' Night Out, Take Two ... Amid Joe Jonas Divorce Drama

Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner have more than just Joe Jonas in common ... they have each other ... because they just hit the town for the second time in a week together!!!

Joe's exes were filmed strolling inside NYC's Hotel Barriére Fouquet Thursday night to hang out with friends -- amid Sophie's ugly divorce to Joe.

ANOTHER NIGHT OUT
BACKGRID

Sophie, dressed casually in a white t-shirt and gray skirt, arrived first for a girls' night out take two with Taylor -- who once dated Joe for a few months in 2008.

Moments later, Taylor rolled up in an SUV driven by a chauffeur with two beefy bodyguards to protect her. Looking classy and chic, Taylor stepped out of her ride and sauntered inside the hotel with several pals following behind.

On Tuesday, Taylor and Sophie were photographed walking arm and arm into Via Carota restaurant for a sit-down dinner, Italian style. Coupled with last night's outing, the two are fast becoming BFFs.

All this comes as Sophie and Joe duke it out in divorce court -- and now federal court. As we reported ... Sophie filed a lawsuit against Joe hours before her second meet-up with Taylor.

In the suit, Sophie accused Joe of unlawfully keeping their children in the Big Apple instead of allowing them to return to England with her. She even cited a child abduction law.

Joe categorically denied the accusations, saying it's Sophie who has crossed the line by violating a Florida court order that restricts both parents from relocating their kids.

Here's the reality ... even if Joe and Sophie made a deal when they were together that they'd move to England, that deal is not binding on the divorce judge. The judge's North Star is what's in the best interests of the 2 kids -- deal or no deal.

Weeks ago, Joe filed for divorce from Sophie in Dade County, claiming their 4-year marriage was irretrievably broken and asking for joint custody of their 2 young daughters.

Lizzo Shows Support to Black Fat Women On Heels of New Lawsuit

UPDATE

1:20 PM PT -- Ron Zambrano, the attorney for the plaintiffs suing Lizzo tells us, "Her entire speech was all about her. That’s not a humanitarian. The only time she talked about others was to take credit for her own donations."

UPDATE

He continues of the speech, "It confirms it was a sham award designed as a PR stunt aimed to repair the damage to Lizzo’s false brand and persona of being accepting of everyone. Numerous former employees have personally told me a completely different story."

UPDATE

Lizzo is sending a very clear message -- she loves and supports "Black fat women" -- giving them a spotlight as she accepted a humanitarian award.

The singer was honored Thursday night with the Black Music Action Coalition's Humanitarian Award and surrounded herself with about 20 plus-sized women.

As we reported, Lizzo's recently been targeted in two separate lawsuits, accusing her of allowing racial harassment, sexual harassment and more on her tour. While she didn't specifically mention the lawsuits, Lizzo gave a speech that certainly addressed them.

Lizzo promised she'd continue to, "Amplify the voices of marginalized people because I have a microphone and I know how to use it." While stating she will, "Continue to put on and represent and create safe spaces for Black fat women, because that’s what the f**k I do."

Lizzo was sued Thursday by a woman who claims she was brought on to do wardrobe for Lizzo's tour in 2023.

In the lawsuit, the woman says Lizzo's plus-sized dancers were left with barely any room to change backstage, often made fun of by the predominantly white male stage crew.

A rep for the singer called the lawyer who filed the lawsuit and shamed them for, "recruiting someone to file a bogus, absurd publicity-stunt lawsuit who, wait for it, never actually met or even spoke with Lizzo. We will pay this as much attention as it deserves. None.”

San Francisco 49ers Fans Brawl At Giants Game ... Man Pulls Woman's Hair

FISTS FLYING, WIGS FLYING

The 49ers didn't have many issues on the field on Thursday night, but their fans in the stands sure as hell did ... getting so mad at each other, they brawled right in their seats!!

The fracas happened at some point during San Francisco's blowout win over the Giants at Levi's Stadium ... when about half a dozen Niner supporters decided to beat the hell out of each other.

It's unclear what started it all -- but both women and men were involved.

You can see in video from the scene, as two ladies decked out in SF gear took swipes at each other ... a man wearing a Richard Sherman jersey grabbed one of the combatants by her hair and threw her several feet down some stairs.

The fight, though, continued ... and when another man jumped into the action, the guy in the Sherman jersey started throwing punches.

Meanwhile, another 49er fan hopped into the fray to land some kicks as well.

No word on how it was all separated ... or if any police were involved. But, if they were ultimately kicked out of the venue for scrapping, they sure missed a great performance from their team -- 'cause the Niners rolled over NY, 30-12.

F-35 Crash 911 Audio from Pilot ... I Need an Ambulance, STAT

f35-audio-2
911 AUDIO

Bizarre 911 audio after a pilot ejected from a stealth military jet and landed in someone's backyard is raising even more questions about what went down before the jet went down.

As we reported, an F-35 crashed in South Carolina Sunday, after an undescribed "malfunction" caused the pilot to eject from the jet, which was flying at 1,000 feet.

SITE OF THE WRECKAGE
AP

The pilot landed in the backyard of a home, and apparently injured his back. You hear the homeowner super calmly talking to a very confused 911 dispatcher, explaining the pilot needed an ambulance.

The homeowner says, "We got a pilot in the house and I guess he landed in my backyard, and we're trying to see if we could get an ambulance to the house, please."

Then the pilot gets on the horn, saying, "Ma'am, a military jet crashed. I'm the pilot. We need to get rescue rolling," adding, "I'm not sure where the airplane is. It would have crash landed somewhere. I ejected."

The dispatcher needs to hear it all a few times before she can process what happened.

The jet crashed in a remote area of South Carolina. A resident told a local news reporter what it sounded like before and on impact.

It took the military nearly 24 hours to locate the wreckage, which is extremely puzzling.

There has been no official word on the nature of the malfunction, how the plane continued to fly for half an hour after the pilot ejected and why the wreckage went MIA for a day.

David Foster Daughters Drag CA's Gavin Newsom ... He's 'The Worst'

David Foster's daughters ain't holding back on California's Governor, Gavin Newsom ... calling out the politician and grousing he's trying to turn Cali into a socialist state.

Sisters Erin and Sara skewered Newsom on their "The World's First Podcast," essentially saying there's a reason lots of people are bailing from their home state ... they're sick of jumping through regulatory hoops, courtesy of the Guv.

gavin-newsom-1
GOIN' IN ON GAVIN
The World’s First Podcast

Their rant came after Erin revealed she was getting out of The Golden State and moving to Nashville.

That's not all .. David's kids rail on Gov. Newsom for a bill that Sara says would force people who move out of the State to continue to pay CA taxes for a decade.

For the record, the proposed exit law in question -- first introduced at the beginning of the year -- would target rich folks who make $30 million or more a year and lucrative businesses that leave the State. The proposed law would require people and businesses that amass paper wealth while residing in Cali but move before liquidating that wealth.

Sara says she thinks it's Newsom behind the proposal, declaring him to be "the worst."

Tory Lanez Prison Life's a Load o' Bologna!!!

One of Tory Lanez's biggest adjustments to prison is gonna be in his gut ... 'cause instead of eating like a celebrity, he's gonna feel more like a grade school kid digging into his lunchbox.

TMZ obtained the menu from Tory's first week at North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA ... and he's been waking up in the morning to grab some beef hash, hard-boiled eggs, hot cereal, milk, and coffee for breakfast.

Tory's lunches have consisted of peanut butter crackers, sugar-free drinks, and some pretty plain sandwiches -- we're talking bologna and mustard on whole wheat bread.

BTW, it looks like the lunches alternate between bologna sandwiches or cheese sandwiches ... aka American cheese on bread. Yeah, it's giving real Fyre Fest vibes.

Dinner might be his best meal of the day ... as he's been getting things like hot link sausages, veggies, coleslaw, red beans, rolls, and canned fruit.

TMZ broke the story, Tory checked in to the state prison on Tuesday a month after being sentenced to 10 years for negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.

He wasn't all smiles in his mug shot, either ... as the hugely successful artist will now be making about 30 cents/hour for skilled labor while he's on the inside.

Tory might wanna save up that cash for some commissary treats to supplement the cheese and bologna!!!
