Gossip / Rumors

Nicole Murphy is adamant rumors she played bump and run with Odell Beckham during Super Bowl weekend are 100% FALSE ... saying she's "never even met" the Giants superstar.

There are reports the two were spotted this week at a Migos party in Houston ... arriving and leaving the shindig together.

We talked to Nicole -- who wasn't exactly pleased about the rumors -- and she told us flat-out it's a bunch of BS.

Nicole says she means no disrespect to the NFL star -- but says point blank, "I don't know him, never even met the kid."

Murphy -- who's 49 (and super, super fine) -- went on to say there's one thing that would stall a union between them ... Odell's age, he's 24 (but super, super rich and famous).

"I have kids older than him."

Beyonce's pregnancy announcement was news to some of the top dogs at AEG Live ... the company that is producing Coachella.

Sources connected with AEG Live tell us ... at least some of the top execs had no idea Bey was expecting, and it now makes her headlining gig at the festival problematic.

It seems Beyonce is somewhere in the vicinity of 4, maybe 5 months pregnant. Coachella is slated for April, so she'll be well along and obviously very big, given she's having twins.

One of our sources joked -- at least we think it's a joke -- "The show will go on. She'll just borrow Dave Grohl's big chair," the one he used when he broke his foot. It worked for Axl Rose at Coachella.

Turns out, there's a good reason Scott Disick's been partying in Miami the past couple days ... he pissed off the Kardashians.

Sources close to Scott tell us ... he secretly flew a girl to Costa Rica -- where the Kardashians were filming their show -- and put her up at a hotel where the crew was staying. It's pretty clear ... the Kardashians didn't want an interloper while they filmed, so Scott tried to keep it on the QT.

We're told someone from the crew ratted Scott out, telling Kris and Kim about Scott's muse. Our sources say Kim and Kris had a ferocious argument with Scott. It had nothing to do with Kourtney ... that relationship has been over for a long time. They felt it was disruptive and disrespectful.

Scott didn't see it their way and bolted to Miami. It's unclear what happened to the girl, but days later he was with another chick ... and the next day still another.

Scott, we're told, is more than happy hanging in Miami ... way happier than shooting the show.

Dana White tells TMZ Sports it's pretty obvious what happened to Ronda Rousey -- "One day you show up and you don't have it anymore."

The UFC honcho appeared on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Tuesday night on FS1) and said Ronda's career has gone the way of MOST great professional athletes.

"It's no different than any other sport. When you're a professional athlete and you're competing at a certain level, the day comes when you don't anymore. It happened to Ronda."

White says, even though he thinks Ronda is turning the page on her fighting career, she'll always be connected with the UFC.

Scott Disick's Miami mystery girl is a hot model he casually met and "hung out" with for the day ... at least that's what she's telling friends.

The cheeky chick is Jessica Harris -- professionally known as J Lynne -- a Next model from Philly who recently moved to Florida.

Seems like The Lord just wanted some beachside strange.

Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao?

Tito Ortiz says it doesn't matter ... 'cause Conor McGregor would get his ass kicked by either guy in a boxing match.

The Huntington Beach Bad Boy was at ArcLight Hollywood for the "John Wick: Chapter 2" premiere when he told us straight-up ... MMA fighters don't stand a chance against boxers in a BOXING MATCH!

It's likely over for Ronda Rousey ... so says UFC honcho Dana White who says when it comes to fighting, "I think she's probably done."

White appeared on the "UFC Unfiltered" podcast and was asked straight-up about the chances of Ronda getting back in the Octagon after she got destroyed by Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.

"In the conversation I had with her, if I had to say right here right now -- again I don't like saying right here right now because it's up to her -- but I wouldn't say she fights again," White said.

"I think she's probably done ... She's going to ride off into the sunset and start living her life outside of fighting."

Ronda's been busy since the fight ... protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline and working on getting her concealed weapons license in Nevada.

If she is done fighting forever ... salute to Ronda. She's a legend.

Drake got punked by an impostor who pretended to be his manager and put the word out the rapper was putting his incredible estate on the market ... and the media took the bait.

The LA Times reported Monday Drake had listed his Hidden Hills property for $19,999,900. It's an amazing property, with a grotto which matches the Playboy Mansion, a theater, game room, spa/massage room, and on and on.

Turns out, a random guy who has no association with Drake posted the house as "For sale by owner" on Zillow. A real estate agent noticed the posting and reached out to the "manager" to see if he could rep the property.

The "manager" told the agent he could rep Drake in the sale, and that's when the agent posted the listing on the Multiple Listing Service as an active listing.

The agent, Alexei Pavlov, tells TMZ he never intended to put the property on the MLS as active ... it was supposed to be in drafts while he worked out details with the "manager." But Pavlov says when he spoke with the "manager" to nail down the listing, the guy got aggressive and confessed it was a scam.

Short story ... the house isn't for sale, and the grotto will continue to be populated with hot chicks.

It's time for Carmelo Anthony to get the hell outta New York and start winning championships ... so says Caron Butler, who wants to see 'Melo play for a REAL contender this season.

TMZ Sports spoke with Butler about the trade rumors surrounding the 'Melo/Phil Jackson drama ... and he says all signs point to the Knicks moving on and building around young star Kristaps Porzingis.

Things got HEATED between Shaq and Charles Barkley on "Inside the NBA" Thursday night ... but what would happen if the two superstars actually came to blows?

Shaq would straight-up MURDER his ass ... so says their co-star Kenny Smith.

Don't worry, The Jet says everyone is calm and cool now ... but the big men almost went to war last night in a debate over LeBron James.

But Barkley would be smart to step down ... because O'Neal would wreck Sir Chuck ... bad.

Kenny explains why Barkley stands no chance ... and says even HE could beat down Chuck these days.

Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik hardly cross paths in their new music video for the "Fifty Shades Darker" soundtrack, but Zayn's gf, Gigi Hadid, didn't put the kibosh on the PDA.

Sources connected to production of the "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" video tell us ... Gigi wasn't even on set when it was being shot and had zero influence on Taylor and Zayn's interactions. We're told Gigi's confident in her relationship with Zayn, and doesn't try to restrict his work ... even if it's with a hot chick, who happens to be her friend.

We're told it just made more sense with the song's lyrics for the duo to be apart in the video -- but even if it called for them to be all over each other ... Gigi wouldn't care. She knows how the biz works.

Ex-NFL star Bill Romanowski says there ain't much the NFL can do about stopping CTE these days unless they make one dramatic change -- go back to leather helmets.

Bill was leaving Catch in West Hollywood when he explained his theory. It sorta makes sense.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd are clearly past the one-night stand phase, 'cause they're hanging out in public again ... this time doing it at a Dave & Buster's.

Selena and Abel hit up a D&B in Hollywood Wednesday night with a bunch of mutual friends -- including French Montana and Jaden Smith -- where we're guessing they ate, drank, and played.

This is the first time the two stars have been seen together since their makeout sesh at Giorgio Baldi a few weeks ago ... following all the drama that ensued.

And besides, if there's one thing anyone who's anyone knows about this place ... it's a total date night spot. Keyword ... date.

Tito Ortiz is ANGRY over claims his fight with Chael Sonnen was fixed -- and just invited all doubters to his gym so he can CHOKE YOU OUT HIMSELF!!!

By the way, he's serious.

After Ortiz dominated Chael at Bellator 170, an Internet conspiracy theory went around saying Chael gave Tito a hand signal to reverse a chokehold ... and essentially threw the fight.

Scarlett Johansson and her French journalist husband, Romain Dauriac, put their breakup rumors to rest almost as soon as they surfaced ... or maybe they're just still super friendly.

The couple, who share a 2-year-old daughter, put up a united front Wednesday night at the Uncanny Likeness exhibit in NYC hours after news broke they had reportedly split.

If you look closely, doesn't appear ScarJo is wearing her wedding ring, and it wasn't on either when she made an appearance at the Women's March over the weekend.

Nevertheless ... she was all smiles. He was partially smiles.

Kendall Jenner is definitely with A$AP Rocky ... at least for this week in Paris.

The long-rumored couple is there for a Fashion Week event -- newly single Bella Hadid was third wheeling it. Kendall was back in Paris for the first time since the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and this trip was arguably hotter.

Rocky and Kendall were all over each other at the club and on the way back to their hotel. If it's just friendship ... they're really good friends. They also kicked it in Malibu last month ... and more recently at a concert in NYC.

Friends. All around the world.
