Gossip / Rumors

The reason Rob Kardashian ditched his big sister Kim's wedding was simple ... he didn't want to take wedding pics because of his weight gain.

Sources close to the Kardashian clan tell TMZ ... Rob has become so insecure and depressed about his appearance ... he refused to be in the family wedding pics, despite his family's encouragement.

We're told the Kardashians were heartbroken and tried to support Rob, saying he doesn't look bad ... but he still wasn't down to pose

T.I. never intended to get into a fight with Floyd Mayweather Sunday night in Las Vegas ... sources close to the rapper tell TMZ -- but Tip was definitely pissed about Money possibly getting close to his wife.

Tameka "Tiny" Cottle didn't appear to be near the fight last night -- but she was in Vegas -- and hours before posted a picture on Instagram while hanging out with Floyd's daughter ... calling the young girl her "new boo."

We're told T.I. was upset about the photo -- and others she posted -- and felt it was disrespectful to him ... so he planned to confront Floyd in person.

Once they got face-to-face though, T.I. flipped out when Floyd said "control your bitch" and started swinging outside Fatburger.

T.I. took a swing at Floyd Mayweather Jr. and it caused a chair-tossing brawl in the Fatburger on the Vegas Strip early Sunday morning ... TMZ has learned ... and we've obtained multiple videos.

According to several witnesses ... Floyd was eating inside the restaurant when T.I. walked up and started jawing at Floyd.

It's unclear what caused the beef, but we're told T.I. swung at Floyd ... their giant bodyguards jumped in to separate them ... and then the all out melee began.

At one point you hear Floyd telling at T.I., "control your bitch."

Las Vegas PD arrived just as Floyd was leaving and we're told T.I. was already gone.

Police confirm a Fatburger employee was slashed during the fight, but he refused treatment and did not want to cooperate with investigating officers. In other words ... no snitching.

A rep for T.I. had no comment about the fight.

Less than a month ago, T.I. and Game were in the middle of a near riot with LAPD officers outside Supperclub.

Rob Kardashian left Florence, Italy BEFORE his sister Kim got married to Kanye West ... and we're told it's because some major family drama went down.

Rob booked a flight from Florence to L.A late last night in a hurry ... and we're told he was in tears while desperately trying to secure a seat.

It's unclear what caused the Kardashian family beef -- but it had to be bad -- considering he missed out on not only his sisters wedding ... but one of the biggest celebrity events of the year.

We just shot Rob leaving LAX and he was clearly not in a talking mood.

Master P's family war is 100% real ... not concocted for a potential reality show according to P's son Romeo.

TMZ broke the story ... Master P is shopping a reality show to BET and other networks ... the hook being the nastiness between P and his estranged wife Sonya. He says she has a drug problem ... she says he's cutting her off from their $200 million fortune.

The TV deal makes some people think all the drama's being cooked up for plot lines -- but Romeo tells us it's 100% authentic ... and also explains why his Dad would want to air the dirty laundry.

Kevin Hart's version of how his marriage ended is all wrong -- so says his ex-wife, who refuses to back down ... telling TMZ he cheated with his present girlfriend ... no matter how he tries to spin it.

Here's what's gone down so far -- Hart took to Twitter this morning to say his current girlfriend, Eniko Parrish, had nothing to do with his divorce from Torrei Hart ... after Torrei accused Kevin of being unfaithful with Parrish during their marriage.

Now Torrei tells us Kevin is simply lying ... claiming he was with Parrish when Torrei and Kevin were still married. She says, "Our divorce was finalized two years ago and we were only separated eight months prior to the divorce.

She adds, "Despite what Kevin has said, and the time frames he is trying to establish, she was his mistress and was one of the reasons that broke up my family."

Torrie also says Kevin should not discuss their personal matters on Twitter -- "Show some respect, show some compassion, take ownership. Don’t run to Twitter like you’re in 12th grade. Be a grown man, own up to your s***."

Chris Martin is either back with Gwyneth Paltrow or not ... and based on what Chris said Tuesday night both options are plausible.

Photogs wanted to know if pics of the consciously uncoupled pair on May 17 signaled a reconciliation ... and he consciously hinted it might be true.

But then he warned everyone not to jump to conclusions ... which the photogs immediately did.

Neither Chris nor Gwyneth have pulled the trigger and filed legal docs to end the marriage.

Justin Bieber and Paris Hilton are NOT banging ... in fact, she couldn't stand to spend more than a half-hour with him because he wouldn't stop playing his own songs ... TMZ has learned.

Paris and Justin partied in Cannes Sunday night at Gotha Nightclub. There are reports that the 2 got cozy ... with the 33-year-old climbing into Justin's 20-year-old lap ... then leaving for his house.

But here's the deal. We're told 50 people went back to Justin's house -- Paris was never alone with him. And something else we were told ... she said the party was lame and couldn't stand the fact that Justin was playing his own songs ... so she left after half an hour.

T.I. did not sleep with a random "blonde" chick on Mother's Day ... so says T.I. AND the woman whose photograph with the rapper triggered the rumors in the first place.

Alexis Lacey posted a photo online of herself in T.I.'s house last weekend which led people to believe she was a side piece. It didn't help that all the photos T.I.'s wife, Tiny posted that day did not include him.

T.I. tells us he didn't lay a hand on the woman ... he had never seen her before that day ... and he has not seen her since.

We also spoke to Lacey (who also goes by Lexxy) and she says she was at T.I.'s house with a friend and NOTHING happened between them.

So, according to all parties involved ... nothing to see here.

Beyonce is putting it out there as clearly as she can ... she's a member of one big happy family.

Beyonce and Solange reunited in New Orleans Saturday ... Bey posted a pic of the two embracing on Instagram -- and captioned the date and location to show it was legit.

No sign of Jay Z.

Until 4 hours later ... when she posted the trailer for her upcoming collab with Hova and a ton of celebs called "Run."

They are indeed ... just like us.

The catalyst for the Solange/Jay Z elevator fight has been a mystery ... until now. "Saturday Night Live" spilled the beans ... an errant spider.

It's pretty funny ... especially Maya Rudolph who plays an epic Beyonce.

On "House of Cards" Kevin Spacey deals in political payoffs all the time -- but Spacey says his real pockets are clean, and says a report claiming he was paid 8 mil for a photo with Mexico's President ... is total BS.

After Spacey and President Enrique Pena Nieto took the selfie earlier this month in Cancun ... a report came out saying the actor was paid the 7-figure sum -- and a Mexican tourism official board confirmed to Forbes a payment was made, but refused to reveal the price.

However, Spacey says that's a load of crap ... tweeting, "Story about Mex Gov paying 8m or any amount for selfie not true!"

Joel McHale does not picture himself as the new host of "The Late Late Show," although he does picture himself with the guy who will decide who gets the gig.

A big rumor flared up this week after Joel took a pic with CBS Prez Les Moonves and Julie Chen at the Up Fronts in NYC ... and Julie tweeted it.

We got Joel at LAX Friday and he made it clear -- sadly -- it was nothing more than a picture.

Moonves hasn't said he's ruling Joel out, but did point out he just wanted to meet the dude during a party in NYC and took the picture -- nothing more.

Here's the thing. Joel would be awesome as the host ... just sayin'.

BTW ... Moonves dissed smuggy Neil Patrick Harris, who said earlier this week he had been offered the "Late Late Show" gig but turned it down. Moonves told a reporter he had a very general conversation with Harris but never offered him the job. Humble brag backfire, Doogie.

Jay Z and Solange are finally addressing the infamous elevator fight video ... saying BOTH sides are to blame for the violence that unfolded.

Jay Z, Solange, and Beyonce released the joint statement moments ago, saying, "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."

The statement continues, "The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we're no different."

"We love each other and above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same."

The statement still doesn't explain what caused the fight, but Jay and Solange say they have worked through it.

Days after purging all Beyonce photos from her Instagram page (except for one), Solange posted a childhood photo of the two as part of Throwback Thursday.

Beyonce started the Instagram reconciliation trend on Wednesday, when she posted four photos of herself with Solange ... three of them caption-free.

The Internet continues to search through social media to find some meaning behind the Jay Z/Solange elevator fight ... and Beyonce's non-reaction to the whole thing ... so perhaps this means the two are trying to bury the hatchet.

Sorry fellas, Nicki Minaj is not on the market -- TMZ has learned despite a cryptic tweet suggesting otherwise, Nicki is still very much with her man.

Nicki got everyone all heated by posting a photo of her foot in a pink and clear shoe with the caption: "SINGLE N READY TO MINGLE."

Conspiracy theorists also dug up a photo of fiancé Safaree Samuels' Instagram with the caption, "Trust nobody."

But TMZ has learned Minaj and Samuels just had a small dispute (like all couples) ... and the pic was definitely intended to piss him off -- but we're told everything between them is fine now.

Besides, Samuels has Nicki tatted all over his body ... where's he gonna go?
