Gossip / Rumors

Pretty clear evidence Rihanna and Lewis Hamilton are a thing now -- they popped up at the same NYC club together ... fresh off their Barbados bump and grind session.

RiRi and the Formula 1 driver left 1OAK in NYC separately Tuesday night, but within minutes of each other -- at 4:30 in the morning! But when the 2 international superstars got outside ... someone else stole the spotlight.

Leonardo DiCaprio fought the French and won ... but all he has to show for it is a few grand.

The "Titanic" star was awarded $9,000 in damages from the French magazine, Oops! Leo filed suit a few months back over a cover story alleging he got Rihanna pregnant, and didn't want the baby.

Frederic Truskolaski, owner of the mag, expected to lose the lawsuit ... but was anything but magnanimous in defeat, trashing Leo and making more claims that could make him another $9k lighter.

Gossip Cop first reported Leo's win.

Nicki Minaj is NOT pregnant with Meek Mill's baby, at least not yet … TMZ has learned.

Minaj seemed to say Saturday in Pittsburgh she was having Meek's baby … referring to Mill as her “baby father."

Sources close to Nicki say she uses the phrase "baby father" frequently - at least twice on this tour, but it's not the same as "father of my child." It's just a term of endearment for those she likes. She's even referred to Lil Wayne as her baby daddy in the past, even though they're just friends.

We’re told Minaj and Meek feel they're in it for the long haul and want kids … but there will be a wedding before they’re picking out baby names.

Blake Shelton is slamming rumors he had an affair with country singer Cady Groves ... threatening to sue the magazine that made the claim ... and also insisting she's in on the lie.

We've learned Shelton's attorneys have fired a letter to In Touch magazine, demanding they retract their story about Shelton and Groves carrying on an affair.

In the letter, we're told Shelton's attorneys describe Groves as someone who became "infatuated" with Shelton. The letter accuses the magazine of using Groves as its source, and any insinuation by her that she had an affair with Blake is a lie.

The legal letter is strong, "Mr. Shelton did not have a sexual relationship or affair of any nature whatsoever with Ms. Groves."

Since the rumor surfaced, Groves has spoken about Shelton ... but has stopped short of denying the affair.

In Touch is not backing down, saying, "Not only does In Touch magazine stand by its story but we have another exclusive about Blake and Miranda's divorce in this week's issue."

Halle Berry divorce rumors have been in high gear, and the evidence fueling the fire is that she's been ringless ... but now we know why, and it has nothing to do with divorce.

Our sources say, Halle lost her engagement ring in Mexico a year-and-a-half ago. She was at the Acapulco International Film Festival in January 2014 where she received the Silver Jaguar Award. Halle says the ring either fell off her hand or she left it on a table and someone took it.

As for why she or hubby Olivier Martinez haven't replaced it ... we're told it just wasn't a priority.

BUT .... she still regularly wears her gold wedding band.

Our sources say there's been no discussion about divorce with an attorney.

Sorry, fellas ... Halle is still off the market.

Will Smith says the stories he's getting a divorce are BS.

Will just posted on Facebook, "I don't usually respond to foolishness," explaining that by doing so it becomes contagious.

But he decided to join in the foolishness, and said, "In the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over again-ness ... Jada and I are NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!:-)"

And he added this ... "I promise you all - if I ever decide to divorce my Queen - I SWEAR I'll tell you myself!"

He ended with "#Dumb People Should Have to Wear Scarlet D's."

Jada then tweeted, "My king has spoken."

1:30 PM PST -- Sources close to both T.I. and Drake say the culprit was a heavily intoxicated friend of T.I.'s who peed himself. The pee unintentionally got on Drake's shoe and that's when he got pissed.

Meek Mill's random line at the end of his Drake diss song -- that Drake once got PEED ON -- is true.

The lyric in question came at the very end of "Wanna Know," where Meek said, "You let Tip homie piss on you in a movie theater n****, we ain’t forget."

Our sources say, it all went down in 2010, during a private screening of "Takers" on the Sony lot ... a movie in which Matt Dillon, Paul Walker, Chris Brown and T.I. all starred in.

Drake attended the screening and, 30 minutes in, jumped up screaming and ran out of the theater.

We're told a dispute erupted over who was sitting where ... apparently Drake and one of T.I.'s childhood friends got into it. The friend got pissed, and pissed on Drake.

We're told Drake ran out of the theater, screaming "motherf*****."

And sources told us the obvious ... intoxicants were involved.

Ben Affleck is angry over allegations he's dating his children's nanny, so angry he's threatening a lawsuit.

A rep for Affleck calls the US Weekly story -- which claims Affleck and the nanny, Christine Ouzounian, began dating AFTER Ben and Jennifer Garner split but before they announced their divorce -- "complete garbage and full of lies."

The rep adds Affleck is "considering legal options."

Affleck and Garner announced their split last month after ten years of marriage.

Miley Cyrus and model Stella Maxwell are a sealed deal … because nothing says official like date night at Disneyland.

The new couple hit up the park Tuesday and managed to keep their hands off each other as they jumped the lines for Tower of Terror and California Screamin’.

Miley didn't need a map since she was there 4 months ago with a different date ... ex-boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger.

My how they change with the seasons.

Draya Michele is firing back at her ex-fiance Orlando Scandrick -- claiming the Dallas Cowboys star is treating their relationship like a circus ... and she's the clown.

We broke the story ... Scandrick broke off their engagement yesterday -- saying it was a "poor decision" to propose to the "Basketball Wives L.A." star in the first place.

But now, Michele has finally responded ... saying, "It must be fun to watch someone throw stones at a person, so much fun others want to join in on the rock slinging."

She continued ... "I was just involved in a circus and didn't know I was the clown."

As for rumors that she bought her own engagement ring, Michele shot that down as well -- "I would NEVER buy my own ring or fake an engagement."

Tyga and his lawyers are gunning for the people they say released pics of his exposed penis -- and the wild part is ... there's a Caitlyn Jenner connection to this whole story.

Tyga's lawyer, Lee Hutton, tells TMZ he believes the rapper is the victim of a conspiracy designed to "maliciously shame" him. While the photos are authentic -- you can see some of his tattoos -- Tyga's lawyer believes the person he sent them to betrayed him ... and used them to manufacture a fake story.

The blog that posted the pics is claiming Tyga sent them to a transgender model.

Hutton thinks that's also offensive because ... "The allegations are false and socially irresponsible during a time when many Americans are celebrating equality."

It's a clear reference to Caitlyn and the Supreme Court decision, and Tyga and Hutton's point is -- don't use transgender issues as a punchline.

Ariana Grande's new boyfriend got upstaged by her tongue -- which got dangerously close to some powdered donuts ... pissing off the people who busted their asses making 'em.

Ok, first the BF -- Ricky Alvarez, he's one of Ariana's backup dancers, and you can see them engage in some serious mouth-to-mouth PDA in this security cam video ... which wouldn't have come to light if not for the donut incident.

Sources inside Wolfee Donuts in Lake Elsinore, CA tell us the couple came in on Saturday, and decided to play truth or dare with the goods -- daring each other to lick powdered jelly donuts on the counter.

Hard to tell if their tongues actually make contact, but our sources in the shop say it was definitely too close for their liking -- especially since Ariana pulled the stunt when no one was looking, and they would've tossed the contaminated donuts if they knew.

Then again ... plenty of people might pay extra for a Grande-licked pastry.

is telling friends she has no doubt ... Scott Disick is hooking up with the chick he was all handsy with in Monte Carlo, but she's also deeply worried he's lapsed and fallen back into substance abuse.

Our sources say Kourtney believes the woman, celebrity stylist Chloe Bartoli, is an opportunist and taking advantage of Scott, whom Kourtney believes is getting wasted again. We're told she knows Chloe and, as we reported, Scott knows her as well ... they even dated.

Our sources say Kourtney's sisters have the same view as her and on Friday they all went from simmer to boil, targeting their anger at both Scott and Chloe.

Miley Cyrus and Victoria's Secret model Stella Maxwell are not pranking anyone ... they cannot keep their hands and lips off each other ... so say the people who hang with them.

Their make out session after a video shoot this week had a whiff of doubt that it was real, as opposed to something promotional for the new song. But people who were at the shoot tell us Miley and Stella were inseparable during the many hours it took to get the shots.

They constantly kissed, caressed, held hands, and Stella got very comfortable on Miley's lap.

People who have been around them recently say the relationship is highly charged, not so much romantic as full-on lust.

Short story ... it seems real.

It's pretty disgusting but also not unexpected ... someone is shopping a pic of Bobbi Kristina laying at death's door in a hospice.

The photo was shopped to us ... we passed. It was taken earlier this week at the facility outside of Atlanta. A woman is hovering over Bobbi Kristina in the photo ... we're told it's a family member.

As for who shot the photo ... we're told it's "an extended family member."

Kaitlyn Bristowe and Nick Viall apparently were the wet dreams of "The Bachelorette" producers ... they were drooling to make a story line out of the sexual tryst, but the other guys wouldn't bite.

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ, some of the contestants definitely knew Kaitlyn and Nick had sex. We're told producers did everything they could to goose those contestants into talking about it and making it a big deal.

Now here's the rub. The contestants wouldn't bite. We're told they all knew producers wanted to make it a story line and a source of conflict, but they felt if they did that it would help Nick and therefore hurt them.

The show has still not squarely addressed the liaison.
