Gossip / Rumors

Maybe Chris Weidman knows something we don't ... but the UFC star says the highly anticipated Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight is "100%" going down.

Weidman appeared on "MMA Report with Mike 'Gunz' Gunzelman" and said his information about the fight is "a fact."

Of course, Dana White has disagreed the last few times we've seen him out -- while he's said he wants the fight to happen, the UFC honcho has said the 2 sides are insanely far apart when it comes to money. But maybe something's changed.

Still, Weidman seems very confident and explained why he truly believes Mayweather could be in for a VERY painful night.

Todd Chrisley laughed off reports he owes $800k in back taxes, and although he's adamant it's NOT true ... he admits his lawyers are hard at work.

The "Chrisley Knows Best" patriarch was at LAX Thursday night when he was asked point-blank if he's in debt to the state of Georgia. WSB-TV in Atlanta reported Todd and his wife have not paid state taxes in years, according to Fulton County court records.

The tall, handsome dude Malia Obama was kicking it with in NYC is ... in the immortal words of Biz Markie ... just a friend.

TMZ has learned his name is Rob Franklin ... he and Malia met at a Men's Fashion Week event in NYC. He graduated from Stanford a couple years ago, and now has a media gig in the Big Apple.

Basic guys dreaming of dating Malia Obama can take a seat ... the former First Daughter looks to have a suitor who is anything but basic.

Malia and the mystery guy were cruising through SoHo Wednesday night -- looks like they had a 3rd wheel girlfriend with 'em though. As for the dude, he was pretty stylish in a long black coat and knitted cap.

More than anything ... we know he's TALL. Both Malia and Barack are 6'1", and this guy looks to have a good 3 inches on her.

The only place Christina and Tarek El Moussa are going is back to flipping houses for their hit TV show -- at least that's their plan ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the show tell us Christina and Tarek are currently in talks with HGTV for a new season ... and they want to keep the production rolling, despite their divorce.

We're told reports "Flip or Flop" is dead in the water after season 7 just aren't true, and Christina isn't shopping around her own show either. The ratings are holding strong, after all.

Sources also tell us the former couple is excited for the attention the spin-offs will bring to their OG version, and that's why they're actively negotiating.

Bottom line ... ball's in HGTV's court. So far, the network isn't commenting on season 8.

Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble are still a thing ... despite reports they called it quits.

Several media outlets posted split stories Tuesday, so we did some digging. The word back ... "100% not true." We're told there wasn't even a fight. Our sources say the whole thing was made up.

Paris Hilton engaged in some revisionist history over her relationship with Kim Kardashian and the sex tapes that made them famous.

PARIS TODAY -- We got Paris at LAX and our photog asked about the story that she and Kim were together in Australia back in 2007 when Kim's sex tape hit the market. When our guy dared to say it launched Kim's career, she fired back, "I don't think anybody would want to be launched like that."

BACK IN THE DAY -- Kim's sex tape -- and Paris' too for that matter -- could not have been sold without their consent. On top of that, both made untold millions from their videos, which undeniably put them front and center in the celebrity universe. To be fair, both women became incredibly successful entrepreneurs in a variety of business ventures.

PARIS TODAY -- Paris told our photog she has known Kim all her life and loves her.

BACK IN THE DAY -- During their legendary feud in 2008, vying for top dog spot, Paris called Kim's ass, "cottage cheese stuffed in a trash bag."

"Stranger Things" stars Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton play Nancy Wheeler and Jonathan Byers on the show, and their relationship seems as complicated onscreen as it's off.

There are rumors the two are dating, and when we caught them together at LAX Wednesday they hinted that mixing work and a relationship is no big deal since everyone's just one big family on set.

Charlie stopped short of a confirmation though, but it's pretty obvious.

Mel B's husband, Stephen Belafonte, is following her lead and still rocking his wedding ring, but it's not stopping him from chatting up a mystery woman ... who had shades of his estranged wife.

Stephen then hit the liquor store before heading to the Beverly Hills Hotel and Serafina in WeHo -- where he's an owner -- he was spotted chatting up a Mel B look-alike at dinner. She's even wearing the same shade of nail polish as MB.

The 'AGT' judge filed for divorce Monday after separating in December.

Tomi Lahren is either a sellout who betrayed the people with whom she works or just so successful her boss is lashing out at her in envy ... these are the 2 sides of the coin in Tomi's suspension saga.

TheBlaze honcho Glenn Beck benched Tomi for a week after she appeared on "The View" and proclaimed she was pro-choice.

Sources at TheBlaze say the staff was "on the verge of rebellion" ... incensed at Tomi's comment, claiming it was a betrayal of the core views of the network. The sources say Glenn had to suspend her or risk mutiny.

The other side ... people close to Tomi say this is about jealousy -- Glenn is threatened because she's getting the most attention of anyone on the network, including him.

The real question ... is Tomi staying at TheBlaze? It's unclear how long she's under contract. Sources connected with her say her deal's up some time later this year, but Blaze sources say she's locked in for a year and a half.

Khloe Kardashian watched attentively Saturday night as BF Tristan Thompson tried in vain to beat the L.A. Clippers ... and she did nothing to stop the rumor she's engaged.

Khloe was wearing a massive ring as she sat with pal Malika Haqq. She's worn the ring over the last few days, but mum's been the word.

Khloe officially got divorced from Lamar Odom in December.

Caitlyn Jenner won't be giving reality TV another go as a housewife of Beverly Hills ... TMZ has learned.

The rumors Cait is joining 'RHOBH' just ain't true. Sources close to production tell us she was neither asked, nor considered as a possible addition in the first place.

Cait's now canceled show, "I Am Cait," aired on E!, which is owned by NBCUniversal, like Bravo. We're guessing people thought that would make it easier for Caitlyn to jump to 'Housewives' ... but it's a moot point. It's not happening.

If Eddie Murphy's "Coming to America 2" tweet was the smoke, then here's the fire -- there IS a plan to shoot a sequel!

Sources close to Eddie tell us he's in the early writing stages of the project. No word yet on which original cast members would return because he's still tinkering with the plot. So, it really could happen, but the mystery is how it ended up on Twitter.

The Wednesday night post simply said, "Coming to America sequel?" with a pic of Vanessa Bell Calloway in character. Eddie's camp tells us he doesn't tweet. Our sources say he has a social media team to do that stuff.

The tweet and Eddie's whole account have since been deleted. That's most likely because we're told there was a plan to post something like this, but it wasn't supposed to happen yet. As we said, Eddie's still writing.

The premature release caught fans and Princess Imani by surprise. Vanessa, who's barely aged in the nearly 30 years since the original film, told us she's ready to go.

So are fans, so someone just yell "Action!" already.

Another big night out for Scottie Pippen ... but this time, no Larsa in sight.

Instead, the ex-NBA star left Bootsy Bellows nightclub on the Sunset Strip with a couple hot chicks in tight dresses.

Of course, it's possible they're all just friends ... we're looking into it.

The Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor superfight is "nowhere near being done" and reports of a June 10 target date are false ... so says Dana White.

White -- who did make a formal offer to Mayweather -- says the two sides are just as a far apart as they've been for months.

Floyd recently announced he would come out of retirement to fight Conor -- and reports have surfaced that the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas has put June 10 on reserve in case the fight is made.

J Lo made it official -- she and A-Rod are banging, and she let the cat out of the bag by posting a pic with him ... possibly in bed.

She pulled the ole post and delete Sunday ... briefly putting the pic on her Instagram story. A-Rod's face is covered but that's him playfully palming her head. They were spotted together in the Bahamas this weekend on a romantic getaway.

Drake who?
