COMIN' IN FOR A LANDING
BACKGRID

Here's Lauren Sanchez showing off her skills as a helicopter pilot ... touching down in Jeff Bezos' chopper on a floating landing pad.

Lauren hopped in her billionaire fiancé's helicopter Wednesday off the coast of Sardinia, taking the controls and zipping around before successfully landing on the support yacht for the Amazon founder's superyacht.

Yes, Jeff's new $500 million superyacht, Koru, also has a $100 million support vessel ... it's named Abeona, the Roman goddess of voyages and departures, and it's got a helipad.

It looks like Lauren was practicing takeoff and landings, because she went up and down a few times.

Our sources say Lauren pilots this helicopter often, usually to airports where the couple hops on private jets, and this wasn't her first time landing on Abeona.

Lauren's parents are both pilots and she got her helicopter pilot's license from a flight school in Los Angeles ... she also had her own aviation company and now she's landing choppers on yachts parked off Italian islands.

Before Wednesday's takeoff and landing, we saw Lauren and Jeff returning from land on a souped-up speedboat as they continue their early honeymoon across Europe.

Welcome to life with the filthy rich.

Armie Hammer Italian Vacay with Ex-GF ... Kissing, Holding Hands

UPDATE

9:45 AM PT -- Turns out, Armie Hammer's "mystery blonde" isn't such a mystery ... it's his ex-girlfriend, Lisa Perejma. The two reportedly split last year, but it appears they're back on good terms.

Armie Hammer's closed the book on a lot of drama in his life -- and now, he's turning the page with a little summer getaway ... with a new woman in his life.

The actor -- who has mostly remained out of the public eye for the past 2 years -- was spotted out in the Italian city of Santa Margherita Wednesday ... where he was dressed in a breezy outfit, and rocking sandals to boot. He also had company ... of the mysterious blonde variety.

The pair walked down the street, side by side. There weren't a whole lot of other people around -- and doesn't seem like anybody really recognized/bothered 'em.

Eyewitnesses tell us they hit up a little pizzeria that was mostly secluded and tucked away. By the looks of it -- they kinda had the space to themselves. We're told they sipped coffee and chitchatted with one another ... looking totally comfortable and relaxed. They also shared a kiss and held hands so, yeah, it's romantic.

Armie recently settled his divorce with Elizabeth Chambers and the judge is expected to sign off on the divorce soon.

Armie's been cleared after the LAPD investigated him for almost 2 years after a rape allegation, but the case went nowhere. The D.A. turned thumbs-down for lack of evidence, so he's clearly getting on with his life.

The pair's been enjoying each other's company for a while now, going back to 2021 when they went public with their relationship. We've since seen them grabbing some Thai food, leaving Mumbai hand-in-hand, and even goin' wild at a Warriors game!

Most recently, Tom and Zendaya were spotted walking the dog earlier this month in London while she fed him some ice cream -- goals.

If anybody asks them why they're smilin' from ear to ear, the answer should be obvious!

MARGOT ROBBIE I'm Pink Down Under!!!

Margot Robbie is a Barbie girl in her own little Barbie world ... and she's looking like the real thing as she promotes her upcoming movie.

The "Barbie" star just arrived in Australia with her husband, Tom Ackerley, and she made sure to channel her movie character ... strolling through the airport wearing a bright pink jacket.

Margot didn't stop there ... she also made sure to pack not one but two pink suitcases ... so she's really going all in with the pink Barbie theme.

The Australia arrival is more proof Margot is taking her movie promotion super seriously ... as we previously reported, she was the only one among the cast to wear pink over the weekend for a press shoot in Beverly Hills.

Remember ... lots of folks feel Margot was born to play Barbie on the big screen ... and she seems dead set on proving them right.

Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan Relationship Bad For OnlyFans Biz ... Subscribers Aren't Happy!!!

OnlyFans business isn't what it used to be for Larsa Pippen ... 'cause the reality star says her subscribers aren't happy ever since she started dating Marcus Jordan.

The convo popped up during Pippen and Jordan's Q and A with fans on their new podcast, "Separation Anxiety" ... when one supporter asked Michael Jordan's son how he felt about his GF's OnlyFans page.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

"I don't have a problem with it," the 32-year-old said Tuesday. "As long as it makes you happy, you enjoy it ... and look, I think it's a source of income for you."

"I would never want to block your success or well-being."

Pippen -- who previously told Andy Cohen she made $200k within a few weeks from just one subscriber on her OnlyFans -- admitted their love life hasn't really been "good for business" ... as her fans dislike her new relationship with Jordan.

"Literally, the people that write me on there are like not happy that I'm in a relationship with you, but it's fun," Larsa said.

Despite Jordan being okay with her making content on the subscription-based social media platform, Pippen said she wouldn't hesitate to pull the plug if he ever changed his mind.

"I mean, listen it's fun and as long as you don't mind -- like for me it's fun and it's cool, whatever, but if you didn't like it, I would definitely turn it off," Pippen said. "I'd shut it down!!"

Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Getting Outta Dodge, Er, Sardinia Hold On Tight, Baby Doll!!!

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez left their Sardinia vacation the same way James Bond might leave a villain's island after a successful mission -- full-throttle and completely badass.

The Amazon founder and his fiancée beelined it away from the Italian island Monday after spending several days there ... where they were soaking up the sun and enjoying the open seas. As a getaway vehicle, they opted for what seems to be a very expensive speed boat.

JB and LS were rocking their shades and chatting it up as the vessel roared through over the water and approached an even larger boat -- a massive support boat that was waiting for both of them.

This is not Bezos' superyacht ... it's appears to be the tender that takes them from the yacht to shore, and even IT is awesome ...  it has a freaking helipad on top of it, which Jeff and Lauren used.

Indeed ... they ended up leaving the area entirely up in the skies. A helicopter flew 'em out -- so they went from land to sea ... and finally to the air. We suppose we wouldn't expect anything less from a multibillionaire -- they tend to travel in style, especially on vacation.

As we've reported ... Jeff and Lauren have gotten their honeymoon started early this summer. They've been hopping all over Europe for the past month -- and wherever they go, they seem to be rolling solo and enjoying each other's company ... almost exclusively.

If this is all going down before the actual wedding, ya gotta wonder where they'll go once they say "I do." The options are, obviously, endless.

Patrick Mahomes Plays Photog For Brittany ... Lights, Camera, Action!!!

Patrick Mahomes is clearly an All-Pro both in front of the camera and behind one ... showing this weekend he can play an elite photographer for his wife!!

Brittany Mahomes enlisted the NFL superstar for the gig when she wanted to grab some sexy bikini pics while out on vacation with the fam ... and check it out, Patrick dove headfirst into the role.

The 27-year-old quarterback made sure to get all of the angles for his bae ... even getting down in a little half crouch to get some shots.

Brittany was apparently a big fan of Patrick's work ... she posted two of his pics -- and called him a "10/10 Husband" for all the effort he put in.

The QB's supporters loved it all too -- gushing over the signal-caller's impromptu photo shoot enthusiasm in the comment section on Brittany's post.

And, in great news for those hoping for more ... Chiefs training camp is still over a month away -- meaning there's still plenty of time for more shoots!

Lil Uzi Vert & JT Couple Quarrels At BET Awards JT Throws Phone … Team Denies Ice Spice Caused It

Lil Uzi Vert and his City Girls girlfriend JT got into a heated argument during the BET Awards ... with many fans believing Ice Spice is to blame for the fight.

Video circulated of JT from the show Sunday night whacking Uzi Vert with her phone multiple times, accusing him of being a "groupie."

PHONEY PUNCHES

Fans speculated she was pissed about Uzi's performance during the BET Awards where he shouted out Ice Spice, rapping, "I got a nice wife/Wig came off twice/She got a little afro, she looks like Ice Spice."

Sources inside JT's camp tell TMZ Hip Hop her blowup with Uzi had nothing to do with Ice  ... she had become frustrated when she lost her seat after the audience shuffled around. We're told JT loves Ice and there's not even a shred of beef between them whatsoever.

A fan recount of the altercation appears to confirm the musical chair's confusion. Ice can also be seen explaining her side of the situation.

Uzi and JT left the building together without another scene ... seemingly confirming they're good.

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

Meghan & Harry Reportedly Given Netflix Ultimatum Make Better Crap Or No $$$

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are being put over a barrel at Netflix -- 'cause they're apparently on the verge of losing millions unless they pivot ... so says a new report.

According to The Sun, Netflix honchos have recently had a convo with the ex-Royal couple ... supposedly telling them to make better, must-see content -- or risk not getting the rest of their $100-million-plus contract ... which they've already gotten about half of at this point.

Indeed ... the reported conditions have been set -- namely, Meg and Harry must produce higher quality shows, docs, and/or movies to claim the rest of their bag ... and if they don't, Netflix is apparently prepared to cut their deal short and refuse to pay 'em out in full.

The Sun goes on to say -- citing an unnamed source claiming to be plugged in -- Netflix was happy with the results for their bombshell doc ... but have been disappointed about everything after that, which presumably includes PH's forthcoming Invictus docuseries (which is still happening and coming out around August). Anything else though is nowhere to be found.

The report notes Meghan pitched an idea for an animated series about a girl inspired by historical female figures -- but that got dropped by Netflix. It would seem they didn't think it was compelling ... a recurring theme we're now hearing about them as creatives.

Now, on the prospect of potentially cutting 'em loose unless they deliver ... The Sun's source says the streaming giant wouldn't do it as publicly/humiliatingly as Spotify did. However, they do concede it would grab big headlines in and of itself ... and probably be a bad look.

No word on a timetable for them to make good on their deal, but it sounds like the clock is ticking for them. Gotta say ... this is not great news for Harry and Meghan. It would seem that wherever they've inked big-time deals ... the companies have been unsatisfied.

They're already filthy rich as is -- but if their Hollywood prospects are cut short ... that could seriously impact their financial futures in the long run. So, they kinda gotta get with it on ideas.

Boy, it sure has been an illuminating week on the Sussexes, hasn't it?

Jon Hamm Ties the Knot with Anna Osceola ... In 'Mad Men' Style!!!

Jon Hamm finally tied the knot -- and he did it with a former 'Mad Men' costar, no less ... with a lot of other nods to the show that made him super famous.

The actor married Anna Osceola Saturday after getting engaged last year ... and after dating for 2 years. They'd actually met on the set of 'Mad Men' in 2015 ... and apparently circled back with each other after Jon split with his longtime partner, Jennifer Westfeldt.

Now, as for the nuptials themselves ... absolutely stunning. Jon and Anna got hitched at beautiful Anderson Canyon in Big Sur -- so, yes, it was a seaside wedding of sorts.

The reason the Big Sur location is significant isn't lost on fans of 'MM' -- the series ended with Don Draper there having a rediscovery of himself ... and the final shot shows Jon's character stumbling across an epiphany for the iconic "Hilltop" Coke ad of 1970.

Nice little nod, obviously -- but the guest list was just the cherry on top for a "Mad Men" flashback. John Slattery showed up to congratulate his old costar, and there was even a hint of "Mad Men"-themed cocktails on hand as an homage. Lord knows those boys drank!

YOU MAY KISS THE BRIDE

Other A-listers in attendance ... Billy Crudup -- who just recently got married himself -- plus Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, and others. Their walkup song was James Bond-linked too ... with a band playing the theme to "You Only Live Twice." Indeed, it was all 1960s fare here.

As for the bride and groom ... they looked great. Jon was incredibly dapper in his tux -- and Anna wowed with her flowing gown. Everyone else was dressed to the nines as well.

Congrats to the happy couple!!!

Chase Stokes & Kelsea Ballerini Public Romance Chugs On!!!

Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini are clearly teenagers at heart, because they looked like 2 kids in Washington state Saturday ... gazing, smooching and pawing each other for all to see.

At one point, Chase goes in for a kiss on the lips, but then changes course and nuzzles her cheek while cupping her face with his hand.

Chase and Kelsea ordered Mexican grub and some drinks while chillin' by the bay at El Encanto restaurant in Kirkland, WA. Our sources say the lovebirds were smiling, laughing and chatting up a storm. In other words, don't get married because that won't last!!!

No surprise there. TMZ previously filmed the pair getting really cozy at LAX airport, a Nashville bar and a hockey game in NYC.

Justin Bieber Breakfast Turns Into Package Deal ... Holds On for Dear Life!!!

Justin Bieber either needs a belt, or maybe he needs to go to the bathroom ... 'cause the dude couldn't stop grabbing his junk this weekend after a little morning breakfast.

The singer grabbed a meal Saturday in WeHo with the missus, Hailey, and on their way out ... Justin got a little handsy -- but, like, totally solo. Check it out -- the guy was straight up grabbing onto his crotch for several steps as they were cruising by some cars in the lot.

Like we said, this wasn't just a momentary adjustment or scratch -- which we all go through. On the contrary, JB was holding on tight for a little while it seems ... but no word on why.

His pants here do look baggy, so it's possible he was just trying to hold them up -- albeit, grabbing them in this specific area seems a little inefficient ... assuming that's what this is.

Of course, he could also be doing that thing guys sometimes do when they gotta take a leak ... and bad. Might sound gross -- but when nature calls ... pulling a move like this certainly isn't out of the ordinary. Considering how long Justin was holding this pose, it's possible.

Whatever was causing him to touch cling to his manhood ... here's hoping the Biebs got it figured out in the end. As for Hailey -- well, keep on holding him down, we suppose.

And if you miss a beat -- Justin can handle himself, it seems.

Beyoncé Nearly Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction ... Backup Dancer Saves Her

Beyoncé nearly fell out of her top earlier this week during a live show in Germany -- but one of her backup dancers saw the issue before it became a disaster ... and played the hero.

The singer was putting on a concert Wednesday in Hamburg, and while she was in the middle of performing "Break My Soul," a wardrobe malfunction almost played out live in front of everyone -- namely, her left breast was about to pop out of her skintight outfit.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

Bey was up there bouncing around -- giving it her all -- and several people noticed ... something was about to come undone, and soon. It doesn't seem like Beyoncé herself really noticed ... but, fortunately for her, somebody who was onstage with her did see it.

Turns out ... one of the brothers from the French dance group Les Twins -- both of whom were serving as backup dancers for this performance -- rushed over and provided cover.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

Not only did the guy block what was inevitably going to be a straight-up nip slip ... but a closer look, shot from someone with front row seats -- shows he actually tugged on her top and put it back in place for her ... all in one fell swoop, going right back to dancing.

It all happened so fast ... and, ever the pro she is, Bey didn't miss a step. If you weren't paying attention, you might've not even noticed some miracle work was goin' down.

As you can imagine, the dude's being praised/patted on the back for springing into action the way he did ... because, frankly, the whole situation could've been very embarrassing.

It doesn't look like Les Twins or Bey have addressed this yet ... but, TBH, there's nothing really to say. Disaster was averted, and ya gotta figure Beyoncé is grateful for the save.

Now, as for how Jay-Z might view it all ... perhaps a different story. Mixed feelings much? 😅

Maury Povich Find Out If You Are Not The Father ... With At-Home Paternity Test!!!

THE RESULTS ARE IN...
TMZ.com
UPDATE

Maury joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and told Harvey and Charles how the idea came about in the first place ... and why it offers practical benefits beyond just finding out the birth father.

Maury Povich is taking his schtick to the next level ... launching a DNA paternity test company, offering at-home testing services for families in search of answers.

The TV host, famous for announcing the results of paternity tests on his show with his catchphrase "You are NOT the father" is now selling a DNA paternity test that can be done anywhere.

Maury is offering the at-home tests through his new company, which he's cleverly calling, "The Results are In."

The testing kits include materials and instructions for how to take a DNA sample, and then the samples are sent to a lab at DNA Diagnostics Center ... without the need for medical professionals or TV producers and their pesky cameras.

Maury's company promises results become available in 2-3 business days, with a 99.99% accuracy rate ... and they say it's all confidential.

In a statement, Maury tells TMZ ... "I've seen firsthand how DNA testing can change lives and bring families together. With 'The Results Are In,' we're making it easier and more affordable than ever before for people to get the answers they need."

Let the at-home drama commence.
