Master P thinks a couple of young guys who are huge online will be mainstream stars in no time ... and his upcoming movie's going to be the catalyst.

We broke the story in December -- P was planning to cast some raw and unknown talent for the sequel to his 1998 movie, "I Got the Hook-Up," and he tells us he's stayed true to his word ... by signing social media stars Fatboy and Piola.

P says Hollywood's failed to recognize the power of social media and its big personalities, and believes by casting Fatboy and Piola -- who have nearly 7 million followers on Instagram combined -- he's connecting with an untapped audience.

To put it bluntly, Master P tells us ... "What we're doing with 'I Got the Hook-Up 2' is genius."

He's got high hopes for his new actors too ... telling us they're dynamic, natural talents with amazing chemistry because they're both great friends. P says he's going to add them to the mix with established actors in his sequel and let the sparks fly ... and has no doubt it will work.

Rob Gronkowski is giving Tom Brady 2 giant thumbs up -- in the air, that is -- for coming clean about his penchant for ass eating, sayin' ... ya can't really blame the guy.

We saw Gronk at LAX and had to ask him about his QB seemingly admitting to eatin' the booty ... and he wasn't the least bit surprised, because, "He's wild. He's a wild man."

Gronk was fighting like hell to contain his laughter about Tom's response to Barstool Sports' #AssEatinSZN post -- but made sure we knew, "It's great, he likes to eat ass."

Translation: No shame in the booty game!

But Rob's favorite part of this whole sitch has to do with WHEN Tom chows down. Clearly referring to Gisele getting out of the shower (Barstool's words, not ours) ... Gronk said, "I'm glad he likes it fresh."

He also has an opinion on whether Tom will catch crap ... in the locker room, that is.

Tom Brady!!!!!

Here's the deal ... Barstool Sports posted a pic on Instagram showing a hippo chewin' on another hippo's butt and included the caption, "As soon as bae gets out of the shower #AssEatinSZN."

Nothing out of the ordinary there ... until we looked at the comments and noticed Tom Brady weighing in -- with some laughing face emojis and the word, "Yep."

GISELE!!!!!!

For the uninitiated, Ass Eatin' Season is a thing on Barstool. And, by the way, they even tweeted about it already, saying ... "Tom Brady is about that life #AssEatinSZN."

Last we saw Tom and Gisele, they were at a U2 concert together in Boston and Tom was belting out the lyrics at the top of his lungs.

McDonald's is revamping breakfast by ripping off a famous "Seinfeld" episode -- and the guy who wrote it says he deserves a piece of the pie ... er, muffin.

Spike Feresten wrote "The Muffin Tops" for season 8, and Wednesday -- the same day Mickey D's announced it's selling the best part of a muffin -- he told us he's got no beef with the golden arches. Well, as long as the check's in the mail ... as they say.

Seriously, though ... Spike hasn't gotten a dime, and says it just seems right for McDonald's to cough up some dough -- for him AND Jerry Seinfeld -- since it's clearly jacking their ingenious breakfast invention.

Move over, Cardi B and Offset ... keeping your marriage under wraps for 9 months is amateur hour compared to what Daniel Tosh pulled off more than 2 years ago!

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... the "Tosh.0" star and Carly Hallam tied the knot on April 15, 2016 at an incredibly private ceremony in Malibu.

31-year-old Carly is a writer on Tosh's show. It's unclear if that's where the couple first met, but it would make sense since Carly started working there back in 2010. She also writes for "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

We've reached out to Daniel's reps, and so far no word back -- but helluva job keeping the marriage on the DL! Don't bother looking for them on IG, btw. Unlike most Hollywood, they're not the sappy romantic post types.

As we first reported ... Cardi B and Offset were secretly married back in September 2017.

ABC just made it official -- as TMZ first reported ... it's giving the greenlight to a new Roseanne Barr-free version of 'Roseanne,' and it's coming back this fall.

The network says the show's working title is "The Conners" and it will be in the Tuesday night, 8 PM slot. We broke the story ... negotiations with Barr were the only hold-up in going forward with the show. ABC says Tom Werner, of production company Carsey-Werner, reached a settlement with Barr ... and she'll have no financial or creative stake in the new sitcom.

All the other actors from the smash hit reboot are coming back. The show was TV's highest rated sitcom in over three years after its premiere in March -- but ABC pulled the plug after Barr's racist tweet aimed at former Obama aide, Valerie Jarrett.

The only remaining loose end appears to be how Roseanne will be written out of the show ... something we asked former executive producer, Whitney Cummings about a couple weeks ago.

Did you know ... Jerry Lewis had enough guns in his private collection to arm an entire militia?!

It's true ... and now his entire arsenal -- from pump action shotguns to civil war pistols -- are all hitting the auction block.

73 firearms in total ... with some of the weapons starting in the 5-figure range at the Julian's Auction event in Vegas on June 22.

Among the highlights ... multiple 12 gauge riot shotguns, a Beretta semi automatic pistol, a whole bunch of mini-revolvers, a Glock 17 semi automatic and a Ruger Blackhawk revolver .44 mag.

Some of the guns were gifts from other celebrities and contain inscriptions on the handle.

Other guns were personalized with Jerry's initials. One handgun featured an artistic rendering of Jerry's signature on the butt.

Fun Fact: did you know ... Jerry was a quick draw artist and was once known as one of the fastest draws in Hollywood.

He even gave lessons in quick draw back in the day.

Who knew?!

Celtics star Jaylen Brown is officially the John Wick of the NBA ... because's he's vowing REVENGE on a fellow association player over a heinous popcorning incident from his rookie year.

We got Brown out in NYC and asked him a very simple question ... what's the best locker room prank he's seen in his young NBA career?

That's when JB revealed he's a victim ... telling us his car was filled up with popcorn his rookie year by veteran Amir Johnson, and then promising to deliver some get back for the transgression.

"Amir Johnson, I'm coming for you."

Meghan Markle is the Duchess of Sussex, but she also took on the role of royal jester during her first official solo outing with Queen Elizabeth.

Meghan accompanied Liz Thursday on several engagements near Liverpool. It's kind of a big deal since it's their first hangout without Harry and the fam in the picture.

They took the Royal Train in and spent the day doing everything from meeting locals in the town center to attending the opening of the Mersey Gateway Bridge ... and there's no denying Meghan's winning the Brits over, especially Her Majesty.

No idea what was so funny, but maybe she dropped a line Prince George fed her from the schoolyard:

Why is England the wettest country?
The queen has reigned for years!

Chris Pine is back from the dead, or part of a ridiculous dream sequence, in the next 'Wonder Woman' flick ... based on pics from the set. Ummm ... spoiler alert?

Chris was spotted Wednesday in Virginia with costar Gal Gadot. We knew Chris was returning to his role of Steve Trevor, but since he died in the first one ... we don't how HOW he's coming back. There's a big clue, we think, in this pic. Two words: FANNY. PACK.

The sequel is set in 1984, so the stylish wardrobe piece makes sense.

Since the sequel fast forwards about 66 years, we're guessing science or time travel has to be involved for Steve to still be alive -- but it can't be a dream sequence. NO ONE would include a fanny pack in a dream!

Lil Yachty is ready to give Hollywood a shot, and already knows his dream role ... if he could just get Donald Glover to put him on his hit show, "Atlanta."

We got the ATL-born rapper Tuesday at the Fortnite Pro-Am tournament near DTLA, where we broke the news to him that "Atlanta" got renewed for a 3rd season.

Yachty told us he was supposed to guest star in season 1 -- but, for some reason, things fell through ... and he's been dying to get on ever since. He says he "annoys" Glover about it whenever he sees him now. No dice so far, though.

As for what kind of character he'd like to play, Yachty says anything but a rapper. And by anything ... he could mean drug dealers, drug addicts, goons and the like.

Pete Davidson donned Ariana Grande's signature bunny mask during an 'SNL' sketch in late 2017 ... perhaps letting the world in on the secret he was already feeling the singer, even though he was in a different relationship at the time.

Pete rocked a suit and Ariana's mask for a masquerade ball sketch that aired in November. At the time, Pete was a year and a half into his relationship with Larry David's daughter, Cazzie.

He confirmed their split last month -- shortly after Ariana and Mac went public with their breakup -- and, in the short period of time since then, Ariana and Pete announced they were dating and got engaged.

It's still unclear when exactly Pete and Ariana started dating, but one thing's for sure ... they haven't been shy about flaunting their love since then ... and he wasn't shy with his dough when he popped the question.

As we first reported, PD dropped nearly $100k for Ariana's custom engagement ring.

Jamie Kennedy's eyes damn near popped out of their sockets watching Lisa Lampanelli's nuclear meltdown ... and he thought the way she handled it was great.

We got Jamie leaving Mastro's in Bev Hills on Monday night and our guy got straight to the point ... asking Jamie what he thought about how Lisa handled her heckler. TMZ broke the story ... the insult comic went off on a fan who tried to give her $100 to shut up during her Sunday gig in San Jose.

Jamie initially couldn't answer the question cause he hadn't seen Lisa's meltdown. No problem, cause our guy had the video handy ... and Jamie's reaction is almost as epic as Lisa's meltdown.

Lisa Lampanelli does NOT like being interrupted at work -- that much she made clear to us while explaining why she went nuclear on a heckler during her stand-up set this weekend.

We spoke to Lisa a day after her meltdown in San Jose during a show she was putting on -- where a guy offered her $100 to "shut the f*** up" ... which made her flip.

The insult comic says the man interrupted her while she was having a convo with someone else in the audience -- and, apparently, Lisa doesn't like that very much. She then directed her attention to the bloke ... and things went downhill from there.

Lisa says she doesn't like pegging incidents like this on sexism but, in this case ... she thinks it's pretty clear the heckler felt empowered because she was a woman.

Well, that wasn't gonna fly with Lisa -- she's been around too long for that BS ... according to her, anyway.

Whitney Cummings can't hide it ... she's so angry about Roseanne Barr and what happened to her former coworkers on "Roseanne" -- so much so, it's hard for her to find the right words.

The comedian and former "Roseanne" executive producer sounded like she has PTSD when she tried to tell us about her experience. Remember, Whitney left before Roseanne's racist comment got the show axed -- but, seems like she'd seen the writing on the wall when she quit.

She says she feels worst for the cast and crew -- so, she gets the impassioned efforts to save the show. TMZ broke the story, ABC's trying like to hell to bring back a revamped reboot, sans Barr.

Whitney explained why she's conflicted about that, and revealed whether she'd be down to return.

The only thing that could distract the Washington Capitals from their Cup celebration was ... another couple of cups.

D cups, that is.

In one of the most incredible moments from the Caps' historic win over the Las Vegas Golden Knights Thursday, a chick sitting rinkside in a skin-tight white dress pulled out her boobs ... pressed 'em against the glass -- and Caps players couldn't help but stare.

A parade around T-Mobile Arena -- led by Alex Ovechkin hoisting his first-ever Stanley Cup -- was temporarily paused as the boobs were on display.

Andre Burakovsky stopped to applaud. A few other players -- including Brooks Orpik and Devante Smith-Pelly -- hit the breaks temporarily to get a good look.
