Hook Ups

You don't let just anyone hold your Oscar ... which is why it was very interesting when Common let his ex-GF Serena Williams carry his statue around last night ... fueling rumors they could be back on.

The two were spotted together at the Vanity Fair post-Oscars bash -- and even took a photo together (which Serena curiously posted and then removed from her Instagram page).

It's especially interesting ... considering that Common has been very open about how much he cared for Serena when they were together -- and even said he thought about marrying her.

Kanye West said something explosive on "The Breakfast Club" Friday ... something that was edited out of the prerecorded interview but was just leaked -- that his 17-year-old sister-in-law Kylie and Tyga are in love.

The edited version was already interesting, with Kanye saying, "I think he got in early. I think he was smart." But now we know the words that preceded Kanye's thoughts. When you combine the notion that Tyga and Kylie are in love with the bragging rights that he "got in early" ... it raises obvious questions.

Tyga fiercely denied dating Kylie on "The Breakfast Club" Tuesday.

It's getting interesting.

Golden Tate is pissed that Russell Wilson didn't IMMEDIATELY put a stop to the rumors that he banged his former QB's wife -- telling TMZ Sports, "It's sad that he's letting it go on."

The ex-Seattle Seahawks WR (who now plays for the Lions) was out in Bev Hills Wednesday night with some friends -- and made it clear the wife-bangin' rumors are "a bunch of bulls**t."

But it's obvious Tate holds Wilson partly responsible for letting the rumors spiral out of control in the first place.

Of course, after the rumors began last year, the Seahawks got rid of Tate ... and Wilson and his wife announced they were breaking up.

We asked Golden if he thinks Russell actually believes the rumors -- to which Golden replied, "I don't know what he believes."

Tate says the two still talk -- "we're still alright" -- and adds that he wishes the best for Wilson.

UFC star Luke Rockhold says he got DONE DIRTY on "The Millionaire Matchmaker" -- and was made to look like a scumbag on the show ... but claims it was worth it 'cause he hooked up with one of Patti Stanger's smokin' hot co-stars.

Of course, Rockhold's appearance on the show earlier this year was super controversial -- after he asked one of his potential matches if she "spits or swallows."

Patti tore Luke's ass up in a post-date meeting -- a meeting where Luke can be seen putting the moves on Patti's attractive assistant.

Check out the clip -- Luke makes it seem as though SOMEONE in Patti's office wanted a piece of The Rock ... but he's mum as to which lady got the tongue.

And there's even MORE silver lining ... Luke says his social media pages have been blowing up with chicks who wanna hook up ... and as Luke puts it, "They don't say they spit."

You stay classy, Rockhold.

Amber Rose and Khloe Kardashian can shut down their Twitter beef -- because Tyga is not sleeping with 17-year-old Kylie Jenner ... according to Tyga.

Tyga hit up "The Breakfast Club" -- the same radio show where Amber blasted Kylie -- to clear up the rumors he's banging the youngest Jenner sis. He explained, "No, I'm not dating Kylie. I wanna be clear to everybody, I didn't leave my family to be with Kylie. That's ridiculous."

Responding to a report someone called child services -- Tyga claims law enforcement has NOT reached out to him about the possibility he has committed statutory rape. He added ... although he hangs out with Kylie, Kendall is usually there too. Although ... we've seen them out alone on multiple occasions.

Tyga also talked about his feud with Drake, and took a stand on the Lil Wayne/Birdman war … claiming he hasn't received a single dollar in royalties from Cash Money.

More beef than a butcher shop.

Amber Rose won't stop until she's at war with ALL of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters -- she just yanked Kim Kardashian into what started out as a jab at Kylie Jenner ... by calling her a "whore."

Amber started the shade-slinging by going on a radio show and ripping Tyga for dating 17-year-old Kylie Jenner. The back story, of course, is Tyga's ex Blac Chyna is Amber's BFF. Then Khloe Kardashian stood up for her kid sis with a tweet reminding everyone Amber's admitted she was a "stripper since I was 15 years old.”

Now ... Amber's fired back with a gem of a meme -- a pic of Kanye West with the text ... "When ur sister in law calls out ur ex for being a stripper ... But ur wife has a sex tape."

And that was Amber's 2nd salvo blowing up Kim -- earlier she tweeted Khloe, "I'll be that lil whore to support my family like ur older sister is a whore 2 support hers."

Even more H.S. drama -- Wiz Khalifa (Amber's ex) just started following Khloe on Twitter ... seemingly siding with her & Kylie -- while Reggie Bush (Kim's ex) is now following Amber.

All units respond. Multiple shots fired.

Starting the All-Star game is now second on the list of things James Harden could be doing this weekend ... 'cause Amber Rose just told the world she might give him the best V-Day gift ever ... dat ass.

Amber was on Power 105's "The Breakfast Club" where she was asked about a rumored relationship with the NBA star ... and fessed up to having a "special friendship."

But the rub ... Amber says their relationship has NOT turned physical. Or in her words, "I haven't got the 'D' yet."

Of course the "Breakfast Club" gang pressed her on when it might happen, and Amber said the words that made James' heart pound more than any NBA game ever has.

"Valentine's day is tomorrow ... if he acts right."

James, for men everywhere living vicariously through you ... don't screw this up.

Drake has made it clear ... he's at war with Tyga ... calling out the 25-year-old very publicly for dating 17-year-old Kylie Jenner.

Drake dropped an album Thursday night and one of the cuts takes direct aim at Tyga. The lyric goes like this:

-- "Oh you tried, it's so childish calling my name on the world stage
You need to act your age and not your girl's age."

Tyga -- who recently did an interview and called Drake "fake" -- fired back "Drake u still a bitch. All that sneak dissing is weak. Just pull up. I know where u live and u know my address. U been ducking the fade from Brown."

The "fade from Brown" clearly relates to Drake's long-standing feud with Chris Brown over Rihanna and Karrueche.

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have the sexiest plans possible for Valentine's Day -- they're hooking up to make some serious paper together ... and this weekend is just the start.

Sources close to Meek and Nicki -- who are dating now -- tell TMZ the couple is joining forces as the "Hottest Rap Couple" for appearances in NYC Saturday night, and again in Charlotte later this month. There's also talk of putting together a world tour.

We're told the couple wanted to do it together so they could, y'know -- make twice as much cheese touring as a package deal. Also, it's easier to hook up this way.

Although they're co-headlining ... make no mistake, Nicki's the bigger draw -- and we're told she's getting paid almost double what Meek makes.

Aaron Rodgers and Olivia Munn had a double date with a semi-famous friend Wednesday night ... an actor who's pretty recognizable from a famous Quiznos commercial ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The Green Bay Packers QB and the "Mortdecai" star hit up Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills ... along with actor Tim Rock and his date.

Tim (who's been friends with Munn for a while) is an actor who's been in a bunch of stuff ... but we remember him from that Quiznos ad where the oven was like HAL 9000 from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (awesome btw).

Wonder who paid for dinner?

Orlando Bloom put on a Gregory Hines-esque performance -- tap dancing like a total pro when we asked the legendary lady slayer about banging curvier girls ... and the video is awesome.

Just watch ... Orlando was walking out of Giorgio Baldi Tuesday night, and our camera guy fired off the question: "Would you date a plus size model?"

Miranda Kerr's ex reacts immediately, and eventually does respond ... sorta. Seriously, it's freakin' classic.

To hell with quietly hooking up ... Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart don't seem to be hiding much anymore ... they were together again for a pre-Grammy date Saturday night.

J.Lo and Casper were spotted at Big Sean's Roc Nation shindig at the House of Blues where they were shakin' their booties and having a blast. Cool moment in the video -- Kanye on stage, shouting out Jennifer.

We're told the maybe-exes were hanging with pals Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama.

Of course, they were seen out last Thursday night and even though they've been trying to avoid pics ... lately they seem less careful about slowing down the rumor train.

Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart very quietly hooked up Thursday night, leading to the obvious question ...

Here's how it went down. Casper was out at the Z Zegna & GQ event in Hollywood where he hung out with Nick Jonas.

There are plenty of pics of Casper leaving the event with no sign of JLo. But we're told she was actually waiting in the car for him as he left.

They went to Hotel Cafe in Hollywood where this pic was snapped. It's the only pic of the 2 of them that was taken the entire evening.

They supposedly broke up in April, but they've been seen together from time to time, and they've taken great pains to avoid pics. Remember when she ducked down in her car?

And you may recall Casper's dog was at JLo's house recently when the dog bit someone.

The woman who snuck a picture of a sleeping Julian Edelman while in the same bed -- and then posted it on Tinder -- admits the move was a huge mistake ... and says she feels terrible about it.

The woman, Sabrina, has been under fire all day long ... and has even been blackballed from Boston nightclubs ... by people who claim she invaded Edelman's privacy in a major way.

We spoke with with Sabrina ... who tells us, "I made a mistake. I feel really bad about it."

"He passed out and I was bored I guess. I was drunk ... and I made a mistake and I feel terrible about it."

Sabrina also says she doubts the nightclub ban in Boston will hold up -- "I’ve definitely gotten my fair share of clubbing in Boston – and I have friends who work there who say I’m still welcome. I don’t know if I’ll go out anytime soon – but that’s MY choice."

She adds, "Some of the players were texting me that they were really disappointed. I obviously made a mistake and I can’t take it back."

The woman who snuck a photo of a sleeping Julian Edelman -- and then reportedly posted the pic on Tinder -- is being BLACKLISTED from the Boston nightclub scene ... by a nightclub impresario who claims she did the New England Patriots star way too dirty.

The photo has been all over the Internet -- featuring a woman named Sabrina posing next to the wide receiver recently in the bed they presumably hooked up in.

Now, Michael Winter -- one of the biggest nightclub promoters in Boston -- tells TMZ Sports he's furious at Sabrina ... and says he's rallying up the local club owners to ban her from the scene.

Winter says he has a message for Sabrina:

"I haven't BLACK LISTED anyone from the nightclubs. YOU ARE BLACK LISTED '86'd' so stay in Metro West. Putting Edelman on Blast during celebration.... Btw you're a 5 if that and he was blackout. I'm sure I speak on behalf of many Boston Industry ppl to not show your face in this city."

There will be tons of scoring OFF the football field in Arizona this weekend ... cause TMZ Sports has learned that the dating app Tinder is BLOWING UP with randy pigskin fans looking for some tight ends.

We spoke to our Tinder sources (we have them) and they tell us ... since Wednesday activity in the Phoenix area -- where the game is being played -- has "tremendously spiked."

We're also told ... with 300,000 people expected for the big game some type of upswing is normal -- with other sporting events like the World Cup and Olympics (hello Olympic village) seeing the same thing -- but they can't explain why usage shot up so far ahead of the big event this time.

We might have an idea ...

Tiger Woods happens to be playing in the Phoenix Open this week. #JustAThought.
