Selena Gomez I'm Making Hits, Not Hit-Boy In Mexico

Selena Gomez's trip south of the border is strictly professional, meaning she's not banging Hit-Boy.

Selena caused quite the stir in that ugly bikini earlier this week, but less prominent was the famed producer who was by her side. Stories started surfacing that they were dating.

Our Selena sources say not true. They're recording an album at the home of Joe Francis, Casa Aramara, in Punta Mita.

Turns out Kanye and Kim went to Joe's house last year and he build a sick recording studio on the compound. Hit-Boy -- who's produced hits for Kanye, Jay Z, Chris Brown, Snoop, Bieber and many others -- heard the studio was gold and that's why he chose it for Selena.

There are extra perks ... an awesome beach, and even a sea lion that swims in Joe's pool.

BTW -- black bathing suit MUCH hotter.

Dennis Quaid 'Funny Or Die' Owns It ... We're Behind the Freak Out

Dennis Quaid really did freak out on a movie set -- but it was the set of a "Funny or Die" video.

The site finally copped to shooting the scene with Dennis ... by posting the full video showing Dennis losing it on the director and the crew of a fictional set. But now you can see the full skit which includes some hysterical sight gags.

The video leaked earlier this week ... just showing Dennis losing his marbles. He kept tight-lipped about it when we asked him about it on Tuesday -- but his wry smile made us think something was up.

So ... not a real freak out, just real funny.

Patrick Schwarzenegger Solo at Coachella Miley Miles Away

Patrick Schwarzenegger was all smiles at Coachella Friday ... Miley Cyrus was kinda smiling too, but it seems they were in a different zip code.

Patrick was front and center at the H&M party, mugging with a random dude, while Miley was in a studio with producer Mike Will.

Seems a little strange. Coachella is the place we expected to see the 2 of them together.

We've gotten them together 2 times since Patrick's epic Spring break trip to Cabo and they seemed tight enough.

Kids.

Justin Bieber & Kendall Jenner Gettin' VERY 'Friendly' Or Totally Bangin'

Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner play by different rules than most of us -- or they're just straight up banging ... because 'just friends' don't take pics like this.

Biebs certainly loves his puppies because he spent a romantic day out near Coachella with three of his current favorites ... he posted the disgustingly cute photos with Kendall and Esther.

Check out JB's hand -- friends don't go for the waist touch and neck sniff just for fun. In other words ... if this isn't for a magazine cover -- pretty sure they're screwing.

Or maybe just screwing with us.

'Bachelorette' Alum Josh Murray Chill out BachNation ... Ashley I. Is Still a Virgin!

One photo had 'Bachelor' fans losing it ... thinking Josh Murray was rebounding from Andi Dorfman by banging famed virgin Ashley Iaconetti -- but we've learned her chastity is fully intact.

Quick backstory ... Josh was engaged to ex 'Bachelorette' Andi, but they split up in January. Ashley was a cast-off from the most recent 'Bachelor' -- best known for flaunting her virginity.

Fast-forward to Monday night ... Josh meets Ashley at a NYC sports bar -- along with a bevy of hot chicks -- then posts an Instagram with her cozying up to him. He was instantly flooded by fans sounding off -- some happy about the hook-up, but others taking it as a diss to Andi.

Ashley tells TMZ everyone can chill because they're not dating. She says ... yes, Josh reached out to her ... and yes, she thought he was cool, but she viewed it as a group date (she brought 2 GFs for backup). So, hardly romantic and definitely bang-free.

Andi can take a little solace, since our sources say she thought the pic was a "low blow" from Josh.

As for whether Josh and Ashley have a 2nd date? Based on the proximity of her boobs to his back ... we'd guess there's a good chance.

David Miscavige P.I.s Say They Were Hired To 'Dig Up Dirt' on David's Dad

A WATCHFUL EYE?
TMZ.com

David Miscavige and his Church of Scientology are on a mission -- to "dig up dirt" on people who talk crap on them -- so claims the private investigator who says he was hired to keep David's dad in line. The audio is pretty amazing.

TMZ obtained police audio in which P.I. Daniel Powell told Wisconsin detectives he and his dad were paid $10k a week from the Church to shadow Ronald Miscavige ... to follow him, see who he's talking to, monitor his emails and most of all make sure he's not bad-mouthing David.

Daniel says Ronald used to be the Musical Director of the Church, until David decided his stuff was outdated and put him out to pasture. Daniel says Ronald started going after David, and that's when they were hired to unrelentingly control the elder Miscavige.

Daniel says David paid Ronald off on numerous occasions to keep him quiet.

And Daniel says David has reason to fear Ronald ... because dad has the goods and David is "a terrible person."

The lawyer for David Miscavige says his client did not hire Daniel Powell and has never even met him.

David Miscavige P.I. Says David Blocked Medical Help If Dad Dies, He Dies

DO NOT INTERVENE

Chilling audio ... the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige appeared to be having a heart attack, and his son ordered his people to stand clear and just let him die ... so claims the P.I. who was tailing David's dad.

P.I. Daniel Powell recounted during a police interview in 2013 how he and his dad were following Ronald Miscavige, who left the church, when Ronald suddenly slumped over and appeared to be having a coronary.

Powell says his dad, Dwayne, called the people who hired him on behalf of Scientology and informed them of the situation. He says a short time later David called Dwayne and instructed him not to render aid ... if he died, he died.

We're told it ended up just being a case of the cramps.

David Miscavige's lawyer denies his client hired the P.I.s or even knew them.

Daniel Powell and his dad say they were paid $10k a week to follow Ronald for a year-and-a-half.

Bella Thorne Hey, Miley Fans Patrick and I Are Just Friends, I Swear!!!

Bella Thorne knows what happens when you mess with Miley Cyrus and her man ... so she's sending a preemptive message to Miley's fans.

Bella and Patrick Schwarzenegger were photographed leaving the Mud Hen Tavern in Los Angeles Wednesday night ... no hand holding or kissing ... but lately when Patrick gets photographed with another girl, Miley fans go berzerk.

Bella is no fool ... she posted a photo of her and Patrick during dinner and captioned it, "With my homie @patrickschwarzenegger if you aren't already following him you should :)) disclaimer *** we are just friends :)"

Hopefully that's enough to keep the wolves at bay.

Big Sean I Never Threatened Justin Bieber ... That Tweet Is a Fake!

The Big Sean/Justin Bieber feud is over before it even started ... or more accurately ... it never existed in the first place.

A rep for Big Sean tells TMZ the tweet going around in which Sean threatened Bieber for laying hands on Ariana Grande during a concert ... is a fake.

We're told Justin and Sean are good friends ... and that he and Ariana are just fine.

Another tweet of Sean's -- "so many times in my life I wish I could of been at 2 places at once" -- also sounded like it was about Bieber ... but we're told it had nothing to do with JB, and Sean just misses friends and family while on the road.

JLo & Casper Not Dating, We Swear ... But Still Going Down South

Jennifer Lopez and her NOT boyfriend are enjoying a NOT vacation in Mexico for his NOT birthday.

You get our drift, right? It IS Casper Smart's 28th birthday, and he and JLo ARE on vacay with her kids -- yet during an interview this week ... Jennifer insisted she's single.

Casper did some jetskiing ... JLo's kids went horseback riding, and JLo followed them all around town. Check out the pics ... no kissing or canoodling, but they're definitely close.

As we reported ... sources connected to Jen and Casper tell us they never really broke up -- and a couple weeks ago they were kissing outside "American Idol."

But yeah, like she says ... they're not dating.

John Travolta Breaks His Silence ... 'Going Clear' Peeps Are Dreaming!

John Travolta is finally speaking out about the HBO documentary "Going Clear" -- and dismisses the people behind it as a bunch of disgruntled ex-followers of Scientology.

In the documentary ... former Scientologists call for Travolta and Tom Cruise to speak out against the church, but Travolta says, "I haven't experienced anything that the hearsay has (claimed), so why would I communicate something that wasn't true for me?"

Travolta told the Tampa Bay Times he expected the same reaction from Tom Cruise.

He says he has no plans to watch "Going Clear" ... which he called the product of "people who were disgruntled with their experiences."

Travolta added he couldn't have got through tragedies like his son Jett's death without the church's "technology" ... and added, Scientology has "been so beautiful for me, that I can't even imagine attacking it."

Rosie Huntington Whiteley Out on the Town With NOT Jason Statham

11:25 AM PT Sources close to Rosie say everything is fine between Jason and her. They say the ring is NOT an engagement ring ... it's a family heirloom she sometimes wears. As for their relationship, "Things are 100% fine. They still plan to move in together in their new home." As for who the dude is, they say it's just a friend.

This is weird, at least on the surface. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was holding hands with some dude Friday night, and it definitely wasn't her rumored fiancé Jason Statham.

Rosie was leaving The Nice Guy nightclub in WeHo ... we don't know who the guy is, but they sure seem chummy.

It got our attention, because just last week we broke the story Jason and Rosie went halfsies on a $13 million Bev Hills estate. And she's been wearing what sure looks like an engagement ring ... but last night, no ring.

Maybe it's nothing, but it caught our eye. We contacted reps for Jason and Rosie ... so far no word back.

Rich Homie Quan I Didn't Beat Anybody ... I Was Too Busy Getting Drunk

Rich Homie Quan says he couldn't have beat a Miami security guard senseless, and he has the perfect alibi -- he was getting wasted.

RHQ gave us the ole Shaggy defense ("It wasn't me") at LAX Wednesday afternoon ... and while he's certain he had nothing to do with the attack that left Christian Cajigas a bloody mess outside LIV Nightclub -- he may want to get his story straight.

Watch the clip, and listen closely ... Quan talks about the infamous getaway yacht -- but he seems confused about exactly when and why he was on it ... during the night in question.

The devil is in the details, RHQ.

Karrueche Tran I'm Not Dating Klay Thompson 'I Don't Even Know Who That Is'

Chris Brown's ex-GF Karrueche Tran is not rebounding with an NBA superstar -- telling TMZ Sports the rumors about her and Klay Thompson are complete B.S.

There were rumblings that Tran hooked up with the Golden State Warriors shooting guard recently -- after he had been pursuing her for months.

But yesterday in L.A., Miss Tran not only shot down the rumors -- but took a dig at Thompson ... dropping the "I don't even know who that is" line.

FYI -- Klay signed a $70 million contract back in November.

Maybe you should learn the guy's name.

Justin Bieber Love Bites

Justin Bieber has just learned what most men realize at his age ... hickeys are for kids.

Truth be told, we don't know for sure it's a hickey, but let us deconstruct. JB was poolside Friday, and strategically covered up his neck with a towel.

He was there with Kendall Jenner and Kourtney's kids. Others may have been there as well.

When he went to Mastro's Friday night, he lost the towel and the marks were apparent.

No doubt Justin gets a lot of action, but come on girls.

Calvin Harris Taylor Swift is Fine And She's Good for Business, Too

Calvin Harris went from outright rejecting Taylor Swift to embracing her, and several friends tell us, there's a business side to his change of heart.

Calvin and Taylor are now full-on dating, but just months ago he said he would left swipe her on Tinder because she's "the opposite of my type."

So why the change of heart? Our sources who are prominent in the DJ world say Calvin got to know Taylor through the Haim sisters, Taylor's best friends. Calvin and Haim have a hit song, "Pray to God," that was released earlier this month. He got to know her and liked her.

But our sources say Calvin is the best businessman among DJs and knows the cache of dating the biggest pop star in the world.

They believe Calvin has developed feelings for Taylor, but they say he's wired for success and there's no hard dividing line separating his personal life from business.

We feel a song.
