Ben Simmons Tinashe Won't Leave Me & Kendall Alone ... I Need More Security

Ben Simmons believes his ex, Tinashe, has been tailing him and showing up at the same places he parties with gf Kendall Jenner ... and it's gotten so bad he's seriously thinking of significantly beefing up security.

Sources close to Simmons tell us ... Tinashe's been suspiciously popping up regularly at places he goes with Kendall ... way past the point of coincidence. You'll remember, the singer showed up at Delilah Thursday, and a couple weeks prior she surfaced at Poppy in WeHo when Ben was there.

We're told Ben is convinced Tinashe cannot accept the fact he ended their relationship and has moved on with Kendall. He believes she's showing up to keep tabs on him so she can see if there's a chink in the armor between him and Kendall.

Our sources say Ben thinks she's become so obsessive he doesn't want to take chances ... especially because of Kendall, and that's why he's talking about hiring extra muscle.

Tinashe claimed Ben was texting her as she left Delilah Thursday night but, as we reported, she apologized to him the next day and acknowledged she lied.

Selena Gomez Yeah, Justin's Engaged Big Whoop ... I'm on a Boat, Bitch!!!

Selena Gomez seems to be taking the news her on-again-off-again ex, Justin Bieber, is engaged to Hailey Baldwin quite well. And why not? She's living her best life ... on a boat.

Selena surfaced Sunday in a friend's social media post, where she's seen in a bikini and in open waters near NYC. She's all smiles too ... no signs of distress after the Biebs got on bended knee for another woman, despite so much history with the dude herself.

She hasn't been spotted cozying up with anyone as of late, so it's possible Selena's enjoying some solo personal time post-Bieber ... and post-Weeknd, too. Good on her.

TMZ broke the story ... Justin proposed to Hailey Saturday night during their trip to the Bahamas. His security team made onlookers put away their phones before he popped the question ... and she said yes.

Remember ... Justin and Selena were together at Jeremy Bieber's wedding in Jamaica this past February, where the then-couple couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Guess the marriage bug bit JB harder than it did SG. To each their own, we suppose ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tiffany Haddish to Ex-Husband You Didn't Say the Magic Words ... Your Lawsuit's Full of Holes

Tiffany Haddish is taking her ex-husband to school -- law school, no less -- telling him why his defamation lawsuit against her is doomed ... TMZ has learned.

Tiffany's responding to William Stewart's lawsuit claiming she lied about him in her book, "The Last Black Unicorn" ... particularly when she accused him of domestic abuse. In new docs, filed Friday in L.A., Tiff does a bit of legal gloating, ya might say.

She, and more likely her lawyer, point out Stewart failed to ask her to "clarify, correct or retract" the statements in the book with which he takes issue BEFORE filing his lawsuit. According to the docs, that's required by law.

Tiff admits he reached out to express some concerns about the book, but says he never specified what he wanted changed.

Translation: Nah nah nah nah nah, you screwed up your lawsuit!!

This doesn't mean Stewart's case is going away, but it would slow things down dramatically because he'd have to file additional papers before the lawsuit can go forward.

Jesse Williams I Want a Do-Over, Judge!!! $50k/Month Child Support is Just Wrong

Jesse Williams is going to request a new trial in his child support case ... less than a month after he was ordered to start paying $50k per month.

The "Grey's Anatomy" star filed docs Friday telling the court he intends to seek a modification of his child support. In the docs, he says he thinks the judge got it wrong when arriving at the $50k figure. Jesse believes there's insufficient evidence to support that amount.

TMZ broke the story ... Jesse's currently paying his ex, Aryn Drake-Lee, a total of $100k per month. The other $50k is for spousal support.

According to the docs, Jesse firmly believes he's the victim of an "error in law" ... and he's hoping a second bite of the apple will correct it.

Ben Simmons Tinashe's A Liar ... I Didn't Text Her While I Was with Kendall!!

Ben Simmons wasn't texting Tinashe while partying with Kendall Jenner, despite what the singer told photogs ... TMZ has learned.

Ben, Kendall and Tinashe were all at Delilah in West Hollywood Thursday. Ben and Kendall left together, and Tinashe took off with some friends. Our photog asked Tinashe if she and Ben exchanged greetings inside the club and the singer took it one step further, claiming Ben was texting her.

Sources close to Ben tell us Tinashe's texting claim was a flat-out lie. We're told Ben called Tinashe out after seeing our video Friday morning, she admitted she made it up and created unnecessary tension.

We're told Ben and Tinashe only dated briefly, and are very much over -- while he and Kendall continue to grow closer. Seems one of the 3 is having trouble letting go.

Future Waited to Drop Mixtape For Drake ... Not Ciara & Russell

The release of Future's new mixtape isn't a jab at baby mama Ciara ... in fact, it's a courtesy move to fellow rapper Drake.

Future dropped his surprise project, "BEASTMODE2," Friday, which also happens to be the same day as Ciara and Russell Wilson's second wedding anniversary. Fans were quick to make a connection between the two events ... and pondered if Future picked the date on purpose.

Sources close to the rapper tell us there was no ill will or planned attack in the mixtape's release. In fact -- it was originally supposed to drop on July 4 -- but Future felt that date was too close to Drake's release of "Scorpion" so he didn't want to compete or mess with Drake's numbers. The two have a long history together -- they've been on tour together and collaborated on an album.

As for Ciara and Russell ... we're told Future's never kept up with their relationship and didn't connect the dots to the special date.

THREE'S A CROWD
TMZ.com

Kendall Jenner and boyfriend Ben Simmons showed up to the same club as his ex, Tinashe, and things had to have been weird for everyone, although Tinashe brushed it off like a pro.

All three hung out at Delilah Thursday night in WeHo, but no one stayed out too late, which should be a sign things likely were awkward inside.

We got Kendall and Ben leaving the club first. After they leave, Tinashe follows and gets into her own car only a few minutes behind.

Then came the real shocker -- we ask if she and Ben are getting along, and Tinashe held up her phone. She says Ben was texting her WHILE he was in the club ... presumably right next to Kendall.

The ex strikes back??

G-Eazy and Halsey have officially called it quits on their relationship.

The two were nearly inseparable after first linking up in the fall of last year. They hit up award shows, music festivals, concerts and collaborated on music together.

In December of last year, they released "Him & I" ... a song that soared up the Billboard Pop chart.

TMZ broke the story ... G-Eazy was arrested in Sweden back in May after he was allegedly caught with cocaine in a nightclub. Halsey was traveling with him at the time of the arrest.

Halsey has also gone through her Instagram page, deleting almost every photo of the pair.

Blac Chyna Dating 19-Year-Old Boxer Devin Haney ... Has Been for Months

Blac Chyna is dating another teenager -- pro boxer Devin Haney -- and has been banging him for a good while now ... which might be a surprise to YBN Almighty Jay.

Sources close to the 19-year-old athlete tell us he first hooked up with Chyna 2 to 3 months ago, hitting her up on IG after learning they had the same lawyer. We're told Chyna was into him ... and started seeing him regularly soon after.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Chyna isn't dating Devin for any type of "clout" -- as many have speculated online after she tagged him in a photo and said "Hi babe" on IG. On the contrary, we're told BC simply likes the dude. He's successful, mature for his age ... and ain't bad looking either.

As for the messy timeline on how long Chyna's been with Devin, it's clear she was seeing him while dating her ex, Jay, while he himself was pursuing different women ... and allegedly knocking up at least one while linked to BC. The pair officially broke up last month.

All's fair in love and DM slidin'.

'Juju On That Beat' Rapper Zay's Ex-GF Claims He Tried to Strangle Her

"Juju On That Beat" rapper Zay Hilfigerrr has been ordered to stay away from his ex-girlfriend, who claims he physically abused her multiple times ... TMZ has learned.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Andrea Inzunza says Zay most recently attacked her in May. She says she'd just suffered a miscarriage, and on the way home they got into an argument. She claims Zay grabbed her by the arm, pushed her to the ground and ripped her shirt.

Andrea says police responded, but doesn't say what, if anything, happened to Zay.

In the docs, she says the rapper also assaulted her in February when they were at home. Andrea says Zay tied her up with a Gucci belt, and started to choke her with his hands -- all because she wanted to go to sleep, instead of watching him edit a music video.

Andrea filed for a restraining order ... which the judge granted. He must stay at least 100 yards away from her, at least until a hearing later this month.

TMZ broke the story ... Zay was also accused of beating up his roommate and spraying him with a fire extinguisher.

Christina El Moussa Fixing Up A New $4.1 Million Turnkey Home

Christina El Moussa's already got a house to make over on her new HGTV reality show, if she wants ... although it's in pretty good shape already.

TMZ has learned ... Christina just shelled out $4.1 million in an off-market deal for a 4 bedroom, 4 bath home in Newport Beach, California.

The home was remodeled in 2016 and doesn't look like it needs much work, but we're told Christina will likely put her own touches on it for her show.

The 4,870-square-foot place is gated and has a pool with an adjacent outdoor kitchen. It won an HGTV award for Best Bedroom and Bathroom, which might be how Christina heard about it in the first place.

She'll be living there herself, but her ex-husband, Tarek, won't be far. We're told he got a crib only a few blocks away.

Scott Cappelli and Jonathon Curci from First Team held the listing, while Andrew Cotton from Compass represented Christina.

FAMILY FIRST

Ashanti didn't know her ex-bf, Nelly, had cut ties with his dad after she shared a video of herself hanging backstage with him, but she's hoping father and son will reconcile.

We got Ashanti Thursday at LAX and asked her if she thought her hang with Nelly's dad is what made the rapper publicly eviscerate his pops. She seemed shocked when we told her about the fallout from her video.

Ashanti told us she hopes the rift isn't because of her, but it seems pretty clear, based on the timing ... it is.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

She and Nelly dated for a decade, but broke up more than 3 years ago ... so you'd think they would've moved on by now.

Ashanti brushed off the controversy by explaining her intentions, and also gave us some 411 on her joint LP with Ja Rule ... which sounds like it's going to be huge.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Car Dragging Incident Was a Bloody Mess!!!

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro left a mess behind after his baby mama allegedly dragged him with a car ... and TMZ has some bloody shots of the vehicle.

In the photos, blood streaks can be seen on the outside of the ride we're told Jen Harley was driving when she and the 'Jersey Shore' star got into a fight Sunday coming home from a Vegas BBQ. You'll recall ... Jen allegedly hit Ronnie in the face, then dragged him when he tried to get out.

As you can see ... the vehicle also suffered a flat tire, which we're told was the result of Jen driving over the median when she took off ... with their 2-month-old daughter, Ariana, in the car.

There's also a shot of the interior console covered with blood ... possibly from Ronnie's injuries after being struck in the face.

Harley was arrested for domestic battery and booked at the Clark County Detention Center. She was also the suspect in a battery investigation for allegedly spitting on and hitting Ronnie 3 weeks ago during another argument.

We broke the story ... Ronnie's friends fear for his safety if he goes back with Jen, and are equally concerned about the well-being of their daughter.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Baby Mama Busted Dragged Him with Car, Allegedly

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro from 'Jersey Shore' was allegedly dragged by a car driven by his baby mama, Jen Harley ... and she's been arrested for domestic battery.

Jen was busted late Sunday in Vegas after she and Ronnie got into a fight while driving home from a BBQ. Sources close to the exes tell us Jen hit Ronnie in the face during the argument, and he demanded she pull over and let him out of the car.

We're told Ronnie got caught in his seatbelt, but Jen took off anyway ... dragging Ronnie. Worst of all ... we're told their 2-month-old daughter, Ariana, was in the car at the time.

RONNIE'S HEATED FIGHT WITH JEN

Harley was booked for domestic violence at Clark County Detention Center

We're told Ronnie's face was bloodied and bruised and, as you'd expect, he's got a nasty road rash. Also, none of this was for cameras ... "Jersey Shore" was not shooting Sunday.

As we previously reported ... Harley allegedly spit on him and punched him in the head earlier this month. They also got into an explosive fight caught on video back in April.

Jesse Williams Divorce Got Doubly Expensive $100,000 a Month in Child and Spousal Support

Jesse Williams' divorce just got WAY more expensive, because a judge has just doubled his monthly nut.

Jesse has been ordered to pay $50,000 a month in child support to estranged wife Aryn Drake-Lee. He had previously been ordered to pay over $50k a month in spousal ... that was upped from $33k.

Jesse and Aryn have 2 kids, and the boom was inevitably going to be lowered on Jesse in the child support department. His lawyers had argued the $50,000 a month in spousal support should cover child support expenses, but that's not the law. Courts separate child from spousal support.

According to court docs, Jesse pulls in $521,000 a month.

The support orders are temporary until the couple either reaches a final settlement or the court imposes a final order.

Daily Mail first reported the change in child support.

Chris Hardwick Text Messages with Chloe She Tried in Vain to Reconcile

Chris Hardwick severed ties with Chloe Dykstra in a lengthy text chronicling major issues in their relationship, and she pleaded to talk to him afterward to no avail ... even months later.

According to the text messages -- obtained by TMZ -- Chris calls out Chloe for cheating on him with a man named Sam, saying it's "the worst thing anyone has ever done to me." Chris claims Chloe led him to believe she wanted to get back together after they broke up ... but never stopped seeing Sam.

Hardwick more or less tells Dykstra his long text message will be the last time he talks to her and declares their relationship is over, and she then sends several texts begging to talk, saying, "I will always love you."

According to the text thread, Chloe reached out to Chris 7 months later in an apparent attempt to make up. Sources close to Chris say it's hard to believe Chloe would try for months to get back with him if she was being emotionally and sexually abused, as she claimed last week.

As we reported ... Hardwick denied her allegation of sexual abuse and said their breakup after a 3-year relationship was the result of her cheating.

We reached out to Chloe ... so far, no word back.
