Harrison Ford had a bumpy ride down the runway at Santa Monica airport Friday ... after his jet malfunctioned.

Ford was piloting his twin engine private jet when he started to roll down the runway ... but had to abort. He circled back, tried it again, and aborted a second time.

This is the same runway from which the 74-year-old actor took off in 2 prior mishaps ... one where he crash-landed his vintage plane on a golf course after engine failure, and another when he landed at the John Wayne Airport on a taxiway instead of the runway.

Last we checked, Ford's plane was parked in his hangar and is being inspected.

Rudy Giuliani has worked with both Donald Trump and James Comey ... and if push comes to shove over who's telling the truth, Rudy's squarely in Trump's corner.

The former NYC mayor arrived at LAX Sunday, and the photog grilled him hard ... grilled him about the alleged Comey memo, Lindsey Graham's statement the probe is now a criminal investigation, Trump's poll numbers ... the works.

Conrad Hilton's ex, Hunter Daily Salomon, is living in fear ... because she believes he has serious mental health issues.

The 21-year-old actress was in L.A. Sunday -- the day after Hilton was arrested for trying to break into her mother, E.G. Daily's house, and stealing her father's Bentley.

Beyonce's not going to let a little thing like extreme pregnancy stand in the way of a Cinco de Mayo celebration.

The Queen wore a festive sombrero and shades at dinner with Kelly Rowland at Gracias Madre Friday night in WeHo. The place serves up plant-based Mexican grub ... so she's definitely eating healthy for 3.

It's been a busy week for the pregnant mama -- a few days back she was out running errands with Blue Ivy ... looking ready to pop.

Tyga was transfixed by a great ass down in Miami, but he might have to take a hard pass -- because there's already a bf attached to this blonde's butt.

The rapper was out Sunday on his pal David Grutman's boat "The Groot", along with David's model wife, Isabela, and a bunch of other smoking hot chicks -- but Tyga seemed to be vibin' with the blonde in the thong.

Turns out she's Josie Canseco -- Jose's daughter. Last we heard, she has a serious bf, but who knows? Tyga seemed interested ... in a Kylie-rebound kinda way.

Still, our Miami sources say he showed up -- without Josie -- at LIV Nightclub Sunday night. Blac Chyna was there, and we're told they waved at each other ... but that's it.

The rebound will have to wait.

Richard Simmons was playing with the paparazzi Thursday, with a lot of help from the LAPD.

TMZ broke the story, Simmons returned home after spending 3 days in the hospital for gastrointestinal issues.

As Richard sat in his garage waiting for cops, a photog got a pic that partially shows his face, which we haven't seen in 3 years ... except for one Bigfoot-like image last summer.

Sources who have been around Richard all tell us he's fine ... he's got a bum knee and often walks with a cane but mentally he's "all there" and is just sick of maintaining the "Richard Simmons persona."

So Thursday late afternoon ... Richard was returning home, didn't want to be seen and knew paparazzi were at his gate. So he and his housekeeper called the LAPD and apparently made things sound urgent enough that at least 4 cops showed up and ended up forming a human shield, allowing a blanket-covered Simmons to slink into his home without anyone snapping his mug.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper shared a passionate and long kiss at a gas station ... for a movie, of course.

Gaga's making her big screen acting debut in the remake of "A Star is Born." She'll be playing alongside Cooper, who's also making his directorial debut.

The duo shot a sexy scene Monday in the California desert, where they will also film scenes on the Coachella grounds during the week ... which is super convenient for Lady Gaga, who headlines again this coming weekend.

Sharon Osbourne's got Mel B's back and then some.

Sharon was at Fred Segal Monday in WeHo when the former 'AGT' judge was asked about Mel leaving Stephen Belafonte. Sharon didn't mince words ... throwing a pretty good jab at Stephen.

TMZ broke the story ... Mel detailed horrific sexual and physical abuse allegedly at the hands of Stephen ... something he denies.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd had to sneak some affection at Coachella ...making out in between snack breaks.

The couple roamed the grounds of the Empire Polo Club this weekend with friends, when Selena and Abel made their relationship clear to all ...

He drops his water and meets her halfway, but then cuts it just as fast when his bud returns with what appear to be fries ... priorities, right?

Who said you couldn't have your cake and eat it too?

Richard Simmons is "perfect," and "happy," but he's still dealing with a knee problem that has kept him in virtual hiding for the last 3 years ... that's the takeaway we got from one of his closest friends.

A woman named Denise -- who says she's known Richard for 35 years -- was at Richard's gate delivering flowers where she said the former fitness guru is doing great.

But then she says Richard's been dealing with a medical issue for years -- his knee. TMZ broke the story back in November, 2014 -- 8 months after Simmons just disappeared -- that he had 2 bad knees and an operation on the first was so painful he was delaying the second.

It seems that based on what Denise is saying ... Richard was bedridden for a time because he never got the second knee operation. Unclear if he's gotten it done yet.

Paris Hilton headlining in Ibiza ... but she will also volunteer for a rager during a yoga sesh at Equinox, when it benefits a kid's charity.

Paris put her turntable skills to good use Wednesday at an Equinox gym in West L.A., where she was performing at a benefit for The Felix Organization, which helps children in the foster care system.

Kendall Jenner's had another uninvited guest, and this one was armed with a drone ... TMZ has learned.

The guy showed up with a 4-rotor drone Tuesday on the street outside Kendall's Hollywood Hills pad, and her security team was on him like white on rice ... taking down his ID, and immediately calling LAPD.

Kendall's team is on high alert after she had $200k stolen from her house last month. Not to mention, the trespasser who terrified her last summer when he followed her into her driveway.

Our law enforcement sources tell us officers checked out the drone guy ... even searched his trunk, but let him go because he hadn't done anything wrong at that point.

IF he'd been flying the drone over the house without a proper license, he could've been cited.

Kendall Jenner was in a cover-up of sorts after Pepsi yanked her ad ... hiding her face as she walked past a bank of paparazzi in Paris.

Paps got Kendall Wednesday at a Paris airport, where she was predictably tight-lipped about the backlash she and Pepsi got for the tone-deaf ad.

Kim Kardashian may or may not have been accosted Sunday night ... you be the judge.

Kim was leaving Mr Chow in Bev Hills when a guy in shades and a backpack seemed to make contact with her, and she looked stunned.

The question is ... was he just a passerby who got swallowed up in the paparazzi crush or a goofball who wanted to mess with her?

Kim tweeted, "A random guy walks near me & almost bumped into me but he hit the parking meter. Not attacked me. Hope he's ok!"

A bodyguard apparently felt differently and gave the dude a stern warning.

Todd Chrisley laughed off reports he owes $800k in back taxes, and although he's adamant it's NOT true ... he admits his lawyers are hard at work.

The "Chrisley Knows Best" patriarch was at LAX Thursday night when he was asked point-blank if he's in debt to the state of Georgia. WSB-TV in Atlanta reported Todd and his wife have not paid state taxes in years, according to Fulton County court records.

Good news for LeBron James ... Nelly totally gets why NBA teams are resting their marquee players, saying the guys are playing a ton of minutes and need a break sometimes.

Bad news for Lebron James ... Nelly ain't with NBA teams resting their marquee players, saying he'd be super bummed if he took his son to a game, and the big stars were missing.

Nelly said both things when he was out at LAX, and it's clear the competitive athlete in him is having a vicious battle with the loving dad in him.
