Ariana Grande New Ink Erases Pete, Dials Up Mac

Ariana Grande is slowly but surely erasing Pete Davidson from her life AND body ... updating a tattoo with a tribute to Mac Miller.

Ariana's hawk-eyed fans noticed in her behind-the-scenes footage for the "Thank U, Next" music video the tattoo "Myron" on her foot. The name belongs to Mac Miller's dog. The tattoo used to have the numbers "8414" ... a badge number that belonged to Pete's late father and firefighter who died in the September 11 attacks.

It's hard to tell, but you can definitely see the numbers are gone. In the video, you can see Ariana bending over and pointing to her foot to show off her new tat. She says, "Look at my Myron. Guys, look. How cool, right?"

This tattoo cover-up game is just the latest since Ariana broke off her engagement with Pete back in October. As you know ... she covered up a "Pete" tattoo on her finger ... first with a band-aid and later converting it into a heart.

Pete hasn't been taking this lying down either ... the Ariana-inspired bunny tattoo behind his ear was also 86'd. But, Ariana's latest ink upgrade no doubt shows Mac's still heavy on her mind.

Not long after Mac died from an accidental overdose ... Ariana posted a video on her Instagram with Myron. It's crystal clear Ariana's got tons of love for this pup ... and she found a way to pay homage to Mac and his pooch while also erasing Pete from her life.

Two birds ... one stone.

'Martin' Star Tisha Campbell-Martin Estranged Hubby Used Loan from Will & Jada In Alleged Bankruptcy Scam

"Martin" star Tisha Campbell-Martin's estranged husband pulled off a scam in the couple's bankruptcy case, even using a loan from Will and Jada Pinkett Smith to do so ... according to new legal docs.

Bankruptcy officials claim Duane Martin hid money for years from several different sources ... even though he and Tisha filed for bankruptcy in January 2016. It's very complicated, but according to the docs ... Duane had hundreds of thousands of dollars coming in from a clothing store and a real estate investment, but didn't disclose that info in bankruptcy documentation.

Officials say they became privy of Duane's shady financial moves after Tisha filed for divorce from him in February and discovered her estranged hubby "concealed" and "diverted valuable assets" in their bankruptcy case.

Specifically, the docs say Duane used a $1.4 million loan he got from his friends, Will and Jada, through their company to buy a home and sell it later for a million dollar profit "with the intention of pocketing the sales."

While officials don't accuse the Smiths of any wrongdoing ... they allege the loan was part of a larger "sham" by Duane.

Officials are asking for Duane's discharge of debts -- which was granted in the bankruptcy case -- to now be revoked ... and for him to turn over the cash he's been hiding.

As we reported ... Tisha also wants money from Duane, claiming in June divorce docs that he hid money during their marriage.

Sources close to Tisha tell TMZ ... she tried to convince Duane to tell the truth but in the end, she had to reveal her findings to "avoid jail and be there for their two children."

We have reached out to Duane ... so far, no word back.

Anyway, even though the engagement's off between Paris and Chris Zylka, Kathy's got nothing but nice things to say about the guy ... and tells us she stays out of their business.

But, we had to ask ... do Paris' parents think their girl will ever be a bride? Rick believes he'll walk her down the aisle someday, but Kathy ... might need a little more convincing.

As we reported ... Paris broke up with her fiance last month, but there were some red flags before that ... like when Kathy told us Paris was too busy to set a date. And, As far as we know, Paris still has the $2 million engagement ring Chris gave her ... but he wants it back.

Tyrese on His Ex-Wife I Wish I Got Along More With Her ... Our Daughter Needs That

112918_tyrese_kal 11/29/18
FOR SHAYLA'S SAKE
TMZ.com

Tyrese is not celebrating his recent court win against his ex-wife, but one thing's for damn sure -- he desperately wishes to get on the same page with her when it comes to parenting their daughter.

We got Tyrese leaving Avra Wednesday afternoon in Bev Hills where the singer opened up about a judge ruling he no longer had to cover Norma Gibson's childcare costs when her activities aren't work-related.

For starters, Tyrese says he didn't win. You can tell the subject weighs heavily on him 'cause he pours his heart out ... wishing he got along better with Norma for their daughter Shayla's sake. As you know ... Tyrese has been at war with Norma over custody and other financial issues.

Tyrese says their best option for settling disputes now is L.A. Superior Court -- he even shouts out the address -- but he also openly admits he wishes he and Norma could turn the page on their contentious relationship.

David Charvet Jermaine Jones Threatened to Shoot Me ... I'm Not Banging His Wife!

David Charvet claims former Team USA soccer star Jermaine Jones has been stalking him and threatening him with a GUN over the FALSE belief that he's having sex with Jermaine's wife ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... Charvet filed a request for a restraining order against Jones after the soccer star went on a social media tirade last week and publicly accused him of being a homewrecker.

Now, we've learned the request was GRANTED after Charvet painted a very frightening picture of how Jones has been terrorizing him privately.

Charvet claims he met Jones and his wife because their kids played together in L.A.

Charvet claims Jones and his wife, Sarah, have been separated for about 2 months -- and in November, Jones began blaming Charvet for the split ... and began sending him nasty text messages.

"Next time I see you me and you will clear all that sh*t ... Man I f*cking have a problem with you."

Charvet claims Jones later sent him threats stating he would "punch me in the face but for the fact that he would go to jail for that."

During the recent fires in California, Charvet says he evacuated -- but Jones stalked him and threatened to come find him at the place he was staying.

Charvet says Jones also sent him text messages of a recently purchased AR-15 assault rifle with a message to stay away and watch out.

Charvet says Jones' wife Sarah found the AR-15 rifle unlocked in Jermaine's closet -- and when she confronted him about the situation, he made more threatening comments.

Another scary moment went down on Nov. 23, when Jones drove to Charvet's gated community and attempted to get to David's home, according to the documents. Security turned him away but David was so scared he filed a police report.

Charvet says, "I am in tremendous fear for my safety that he will stop at nothing to find me, continue to stalk me and carry through with his combative and threatening behavior."

In his court docs, David falsely claims Jones had contacted TMZ to "pass a story that I was having an affair with his wife." Jermaine NEVER contacted TMZ. We learned of Jermaine's claims through his social media posts.

Charvet wants to make it clear in the court docs he's NOT having a sexual relationship with Sarah Jones -- "We are not romantically or sexually involved in any way whatsoever, we are simply friends."

The judge granted Charvet's request for a restraining order and Jones must stay 100 yards away from the actor at all times.

As we previously reported, Jones -- who was a star for Team USA in the 2014 World Cup -- had posted a picture of Charvet on Instagram with a devil over his face last week ... with messages accusing the actor of ruining his family.

Our sources say the music video will also feature a cameo from one of the Kardashian sisters, who we are told will bust a move for the cameras.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

A teaser released for the project Monday night featured actors from "Mean Girls" -- including Jonathan Bennett -- as well as singer Troye Sivan ... so it's likely Friday's release will include several more celebs.

Ari fans were surprised to see Gabi DeMartino -- a YouTuber who has made a career off of spoofing the singer -- in the video. However, our Grande sources say Ariana actually enjoys the impressions and wanted to extend an olive branch to Gabi by inviting her on the project.

It's not just Ariana fans who have been bitten by the "Thank U, Next" video bug ... stars like Bella Hadid, Gigi Hadid, Khalid and Normani have all blown the preview up too ... with comments like "This is so fire," "Yooooooo" and "yes pls give ur fans what we need."

The fans will get it Friday.

YBN Almighty Jay Didn't Cheat on Blac Chyna ... Baby Mama Had First Dibs

Blac Chyna's suspicions about YBN Almighty Jay cheating on her are inaccurate ... at least when it comes to his ex-GF, turned baby mama.

As you probably know ... BC dumped her 19-year-old piece earlier this summer, because she was fed up with YBN sliding into different chicks' DMs and possibly having a side piece.

His announcement over the weekend that he now has a new baby boy -- SirLucius Edward Scott-Bradley -- might seem to confirm her fears, but we're told the baby making went down before Chyna was in the picture.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Sources connected to YBN and the baby's mama, Dailyn Scott, tell us they met when she was working as a stylist for one of his music videos. We're told he knocked her up around December ... almost 2 months before he officially started dating BC, who was aware YBN was going to be a daddy soon.

SirLucius was born on September 4 at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. -- so the December conception tracks.

Almighty Jay was touring in Europe when the kid was born, but we're told he's been around ever since ... supporting the kid financially and seeing him as much as possible.

FUNERAL AUDIO -- SHE'LL ALWAYS BE WITH ME
TMZ.com

Diddy delivered a moving, emotional and heartfelt tribute to Kim Porter Saturday at her funeral ... evidence by audio of the eulogy.

The eulogy lasted 15 minutes ... and Diddy toughed it out without breaking down. Diddy talked about how Kim taught him how to love. He revealed ... at the beginning of the year he was dealing with depression and Kim would come over and comfort him, making sure he was okay.

Diddy went on to describe their evolving relationship ... a relationship that produced 3 children and a relationship that was solid from beginning to end.

There were moments so moving the mourners cheered.

Diddy made it clear ... he would always be there for his kids, and he got a big laugh when he talked about how his daughters could confide in him ... confide "everything."

He ends by making it clear ... Kim will always be with him.

Meghan Markle Before Harry, There Was Cory ... Who Sure Looked in Love

We already knew Meghan Markle had prior relationships before meeting Prince Harry -- but we didn't know just how lovey-dovey she was with her old boyfriends ... until now.

Here's a photo of Meghan cozying up with her old celeb chef flame, Cory Vitiello, while they dined in Toronto. In the pic, obtained by TMZ, you see Meg sitting on Cory's lap with his arms wrapped around her waist ... and him laying a big smooch on her cheek.

We're told this pic was taken at Atlas Restaurant in May 2016 -- which wasn't too long before she started seeing Harry across the pond. Remember ... Meghan and Harry reportedly began dating in the summer of '16, so something must've happened between this picturesque moment and whatever summer month Meghan got fixed up with Harry.

Even more interesting ... both Meghan and Cory went on to get hitched. Oh, and Cory's got a kid now too ... Meghan, of course, is expecting her first child with Harry.

Sounds like a great case of "Good Luck Chuck" that goes both ways.

Paris Hilton's Ex Now That I'm Single ... It's Back to Acting!!!

Paris Hilton's ex is back to calling his own shots now that he's riding fast in the single lane ... first order of business -- breathing life into his acting career.

Sources close to Chris Zylka tell TMZ ... the 'Leftovers' actor allowed his acting career to take a back seat to Paris while he was dating her. We're told Chris didn't film anything during the time they were dating ... especially after he popped the question earlier this year with a ring valued at 2 million bucks.

Fact is ... Chris' only priority during his time with Paris was ... Paris. He was all in supporting her global ambitions ... even if she once literally forgot about him. But, we digress. Not long after the breakup, we're told Chris was offered some acting gigs, which he's now pursuing.

He also has a movie coming out with Natalie Portman, "The Death and Life of John F. Donovan." He filmed it before getting involved with Paris and now that he's single, he'll have plenty of time to promote it.

As Kevin Hart once said ... you do you, boo boo.

Tyrese My Ex Refuses to Work ... Says 'Living Life' is Her Job!!!

Tyrese wants to know why his ex-wife won't get a job and he got an answer -- she thinks "living life" qualifies as a real occupation ... according to new docs in their child support battle.

As we've told you, Tyrese is upset about how much dough Norma Gibson's been dropping on babysitters for their 11-year-old daughter. After all, he says their court-ordered child support deal requires Norma to work toward becoming self-sufficient.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Tyrese says Norma sat for a deposition and his attorney asked her straight-up what she did on August 21 ... a day when she racked up 7 hours of childcare bills. Norma's reply? She was busy "living life."

According to the docs, she further explained, "I am working. I am working on my book. I am working on my life. I am running errands at home."

Tyrese's attorneys say Norma is full of crap -- and truth is she feels ZERO obligation to find a job or contribute financially to raising their kid because Tyrese is rich and will cover everything.

To be clear, Tyrese isn't complaining about paying child support, but he is pissed she wants him to pay her attorney fees ... especially when she has NO job.

Halsey Going Younger ... After G-Eazy Split

Halsey looks like she's on the rebound after breaking up with G-Eazy, and she's bouncing back with a younger guy.

Halsey was spotted leaving a studio Tuesday night in Hollywood, snuggling up to British musician Yungblud. The 24-year-old's gaze is a clear sign she's into the 20-year-old Brit, and the bouquet of flowers probably helped. Dude's a romantic.

Halsey's night with the newbie comes days after her ex, G-Eazy, was showin' off a bit of PDA with a mystery chick -- they definitely got something brewing.

After breaking up for the second time this year, Halsey and G-Eazy are steadily moving on. She's been jiving and thriving since the split, dancing her ass off on Halloween and performing with Lil Wayne on 'SNL.'

Now, it looks like Halsey's got a potential love interest, just in time for the holidays.

Paris Hilton She Still Has the Engagement Ring ... But He Wants it Back

Paris Hilton has yet to return the VERY expensive ring Chris Zylka gave her when he got on bended knee earlier this year, but it may just be a matter of time before she has to fork it over.

Sources close to Chris tell us, he bought the ring -- valued at $2 MILLION. Based on what we know, he got a massive discount. The jeweler and Paris have a close relationship, and publicity for jewelers is as valuable as cold, hard cash.

Now ... we're told Paris is the one who broke off the engagement. Under California law, if she calls off the engagement, he gets the ring back. And, not surprisingly, we're told he wants it back.

We're told Paris and Chris haven't seen each other since the split, and he hasn't requested that she turn the ring back ... but we know he wants it.

It's pretty damn unique, with a massive 20-carat diamond, which took about 4 months to cut.

You'd think something that valuable would've been safe and sound on Paris' finger, but it's been lost and found at least once since Chris proposed in Aspen.

Our sources say Chris will make the hard ask if Paris doesn't get the hint. Copy that, PH?

Paris Hilton & Chris Zylka Engagement's Off!! Paris Speaks on Split

6:04 PM PT -- Paris just addressed her split with Chris on social media, posting a photo of herself dressed as Marilyn Monroe and adding her favorite quote from the starlet that reads ... "I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself. And sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

Paris Hilton will NOT be walking down the aisle as planned -- she's broken up with her latest fiance, Chris Zylka ... TMZ confirms.

Sources close to the now-exes tell us Paris called things off with Chris several weeks ago. They got engaged at the beginning of the year during a trip to Aspen after dating for about a year before that.

We're told Paris realized Chris just wasn't the one, and things between them had moved too fast. Paris hopes the two can remain friends and wishes Zylka all the best.

Our photog also quizzed Paris' mom, Kathy Hilton, a couple months back as to why the couple's wedding was pushed back ... and she served up a seemingly legit reason.

This is Paris' second engagement ... she and Paris Latsis were ready to tie the knot in 2005 before calling it off.

Back to the drawing board.

Diddy continued ... "I miss you so much. Today I’m going to pay tribute to you, I’m going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship. We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates. WE WERE SOME OTHER SHIT!! And I miss you so much. Super Black Love."

His tribute came after paps caught him taking a stroll through Westwood Village, where he was wearing his heartbreak on his face. Sad is an understatement ... Diddy looks absolutely devastated here.

We broke the story ... Kim was found dead at her home Thursday from complications stemming from either pneumonia or the flu. She birthed 3 of Diddy's children -- D'Lila, Jessie James and Christian. She was pregnant with D'Lila and Jessie during this shoot.
