Brody Jenner Distant from Kardashian Fam
Brody Jenner seems happy for Kim, Khloe and Kylie -- who are all expecting -- but it also seems he's estranged from them.
We got the perennially handsome Jenner at LAX Friday, and he spilled some tea about the famous trio, 2 of whom are his step sisters. Brody says he hasn't spoken to any of them since TMZ announced their pregnancies.
Gotta say ... that's a big sign all is not well. As you know, Brody's father Caitlyn is estranged from the Kardashian brood, and it seems like his son is right behind.

Sugar Ray to Floyd Have Lots of Sex But Don't Party
Sugar Ray Leonard seemed genuinely shocked that Floyd Mayweather told the world he will party every night from now through next Saturday, when he faces off with Conor McGregor.
The former champ seemed almost in disbelief that Floyd would do such a thing, although there's a good argument Floyd's saying it just to promote his Vegas gentleman's club, Girl Collection.
On another subject ... he also strongly disagrees with Floyd on the matter of sex before big fights.

Akon If Jay-Z Fires Shots ... He Can Back it Up
Akon's got some advice for anyone Jay-Z puts on blast -- just let it go.
We got the singer at LAX Friday and asked him about Jay firing off at people like Kanye and Eric Benet on his new album, "4:44" ... he thinks it's so rare that anyone getting heat should just take it -- or it could get worse for them.
Akon also responds to Hov making personal revelations on his new album about cheating on Bey ... which he thinks is an unwise move. He knows it's juicy, though ... and believes Jay-Z always knows what he's doing.

Terrence Howard Admits To Hitting Women ... With an Asterisk
Terrence Howard is fessing up to wife-beating allegations that cost him two of his marriages ... sort of.
Howard makes the admissions in Rolling Stone, saying in both instances he was provoked, kinda playing the victim card.
Howard was arrested in 2001 for hitting his first wife. He says, "She was talking to me real strong, and I lost my mind and slapped her in front of the kids. Her lawyer said it was a closed fist, but even slapping her was wrong."
As for his second marriage to Michelle Ghent, Howard explains, "She was trying to Mace me and you can't see anything so all you can do is try to bat somebody away, and I think that something caught her. But I wasn't trying to hit her."
Howard also deflects a 2005 incident at a restaurant where a woman claimed he hit her, but he says it was self-defense.
He lays a lot on the table.
