NHL AJ Greer & Sonny Milano Arrested for Assault 'He Got in Our Face'

UPDATE

4:55 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ AJ Greer made a statement to police after the alleged assault, saying ... "He got in our face." We're told police believe this could be a possible motivation.

Pro hockey players AJ Greer and Sonny Milano were arrested this weekend for allegedly beating up a guy ... this after the dude reportedly complained about a restaurant check. 

The two players -- who play for the Colorado Avalanche and Columbus Blue Jackets, respectively -- were taken into custody early Sunday morning in NYC and booked for assault. We're told they were both given desk appearance tickets, and are due in court at a later date.

According to reports, the altercation took place at a Manhattan apartment where a 28-year-old man claims they punched and kicked him. Some outlets are reporting that the guy was pissed about a bill from just hours earlier at 1 OAK, where the NHL players had been.

It's unclear what his gripe might've been, but he reportedly suffered jaw and rib pain, as well as injuries to his neck and bicep ... and refused medical attention after calling cops.

The Blue Jackets released a statement about Milano, saying they're aware of the situation and will be reviewing the facts without further comment. 

The Avalanche has yet to say anything about Greer.

The dinner was at TAO, and the party will be continuing through Sunday on to The Highlight Room. TAO and The Highlight Room are connected to Dream Hollywood ... one the hottest hotels in town.

Kevin predicted the party would be amazing, saying, "A pool party like you've never seen before."

It did not disappoint. 

President Trump 'Salute to America' Met w/ Pouring Rain But Otherwise w/o a Hiccup

UPDATE

4:58 PM PT -- President Trump's event has ended ... and it concluded with the famous Blue Angels flyover. Air Force One also made a flyover as POTUS had said it would.

UPDATE
UPDATE

Just hours before President Trump's "Salute to America" event was scheduled to kick off ... the rain started coming down HARD.

As we reported ... Trump said the show is expected to feature "large scale flyovers of the most modern and advanced aircraft anywhere in the world." POTUS also said it's possible Air Force One could make a "low and loud sprint over the crowd."

But, not long before the festivities got underway, rain crashed the shindig ... sending the crowd to look for cover. Even a small group of protesters hid under a nearby stage.

Tanks were on display near the Lincoln Memorial and are not gonna parade along Pennsylvania Avenue. The Navy's elite airshow squadron, Blue Angels, will do a flyover and will also be joined by other aircraft.

Trump -- who tweeted "people are coming from far and wide" -- will address the country from the Lincoln Memorial steps before a incredible 35-minute firework display slated for around 6 PM PT ... assuming the weather cooperates. The weather service says storms are expected this evening.

As we first reported .... the military-themed bash is costing taxpayers tons of dough. The portable toilet rentals alone cost a small fortune ... with the federal government shelling out 2 separate payments of $31,764.24 and $9,534. Golf cart expenses also racked up a $19,282 bill.

In case you were wondering ... Uncle Sam forked over $320,549.26 to Garden State Fireworks for the sparkly show. That's a jump from last year's cost of only $270k.

Shaq Drops Music Vid With NGHTMRE & Lil Jon It's a Banger!!!

Shaquille O'Neal just dropped the music video for his EDM track with NGHTMRE and Lil Jon ... and it's a crazy combo of headbanging, Ferraris and ... doing taxes??

Hell yeah!!!

DJ Diesel -- AKA the biggest DJ on the planet -- teamed up with the L.A. producer and crunk rapper for the perfectly titled banger, "BANG," which was originally released back in February.

The song alone will make you want to flip your desk over and quit your job ... and now that the video came out this week, we get to enjoy watching Shaq and the gang rage their faces off and goof around.

Seriously ... the dudes go from spa days to arcades to playing hide-and-seek ... and a bunch of live shots from Ultra Music Festival in Miami in between.

Of course, Shaq's been spending his time on the 1s and 2s in recent years and gaining the respect from fellow DJs like Diplo, who told us back in February the NBA legend is "killin' it" in his new career.

Just what we needed before the holiday weekend.

LIFE OF THE PARTY
TMZSports.com

How do you celebrate after getting a $170 MILLION contract offer? 

If you're Ben Simmons, you hit the Hollywood nightclubs with a massive entourage!!

That's what the 22-year-old did last night ... rolling into Bootsy Bellows in West Hollywood like the ultimate VIP and TMZ Sports has the video. 

Simmons -- looking super casual in a hoodie and a baseball cap -- strolled right past the normies and walked right into the club with a bunch of dudes and ladies surrounding him. 

It was a pretty pimp moment from one of the biggest young stars in the NBA. 

Ben joined some huge celebrities in the club including Dave Chappelle, A$AP Ferg and rapper Trinidad James

Simmons only made a measly $6.5 mil this season -- but if/when he signs his max contract, he'll be making around $34 MIL per year (He has until October to sign the contract). 

So, yeah ... we'd say that's reason to celebrate! 

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Sunday FunDay With Fam, Lambos & Brad Pitt!!!

Kimye and half their brood -- North and Saint -- hit up the fancy joint Crustacean Beverly Hills ... rolling up in style with not 1, not 2 but THREE black matte Lamborghinis. The couple actually owns 5 of the whips in total. Check out the vid ... when the late lunch ended, the kiddos jumped into their own Lambo.

After mama buckled 'em up ... Kim and Kanye jumped into the lead Lambo and drove off. They headed to a fancy crib in the Hollywood Hills where they rubbed elbows with Andrew Garfield and, of course, Brad.

It's unclear what the occasion was that brought them all together, but it was just the latest celebration for Kim, who's been partying like a rock star almost nonstop since Thursday's 35th birthday bash for Khloe

Kim, Khloe and Kendall also got dolled up Saturday night to celebrate Larsa Pippen's birthday. Helluva weekend and a great warm-up for all the upcoming holiday festivities!

Kim Kardashian and co. glittered up WeHo Saturday night for a premature birthday celebration for Larsa Pippen.

Kim showed up to Craig's restaurant in a lime green minidress and her crew followed in similar fashion. They followed their playbook ... giving photogs the silent treatment but plenty of opportunities to shoot them as they walked in and when they left.

Larsa's turning 45 on July 6 ... it's a safe bet the celebration will go into the 4th of July weekend.

TMZ broke the story ... Larsa filed for divorce last November from Scottie Pippen after 20 years of marriage. 

Dennis Quaid Open Doors Policy ... Jams with Guitarist's New Band!!!

RIDE WITH ME
TMZ.com

Dennis Quaid knows how to seize a good opportunity -- when he gets the chance to play Jim Morrison in a Doors spinoff band ... he takes it.

The actor was in the crowd for the very first show of Doors guitarist Robby Krieger's aptly-named new band, The New Experience, at the Viva Rancho Cantina in Burbank Thursday night.

We're told about halfway through their jazzy blues set, Quaid hopped on stage to take over lead vocals on a cover of one of the famed L.A. band's classic songs ... "Riders on the Storm."

Check it out ... Dennis has the style, swagger and voice to pull it off, and the crowd loves it. Everybody digs Robby's vintage guitar solo too.

BTW, Krieger's band is a supergroup project of sorts. Along with The Doors connection, it features other musicians who have played with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Prince and Annie Lennox.

And, if you think Quaid looked a little too comfortable up there, it's because it's not his first rodeo. He has his own band called Dennis Quaid and the Sharks ... and they cover the same tune.

Zoë Kravitz 'Big Little' Wedding Guest List ... The Monterey 5 Are Here!!!

Zoë Kravitz is just the latest celeb to be tying the knot in France -- except her guests of honor are basically a who's-who of Hollywood ... Monterey style. 

The actress held her wedding with fiance Karl Glusman Saturday in Paris, where much of her co-stars from "Big Little Lies" showed up in style. Nicole Kidman and her hubby, Keith Urban, were on hand, as was Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern and Shailene Woodley. -- aka, The Monterey Five. 

No sign of Meryl Streep here -- she just joined the series for season 2 -- but at least Bonnie's got her girls by her side in a much lighter atmosphere. 

BTW, Donald Glover and 'Fantastic Beasts' star Eddie Redmayne was in attendance for Zoë's big day -- Cara Delevingne and Denzel Washington were too (DW's tight with her dad, Lenny Kravitz). The guest list was pretty much a repeat of their pre-wedding bash event earlier in the week. 

The big difference now ... it's actually show time! Er ... HBO, more like. 

Zoë's 'BLL' character might be down in the dumps on TV, but ya gotta imagine she was beaming in real life today. We'll be on the lookout for pics of the bride in her dress and add 'em once we get 'em.

Again, congrats!!!

Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner Smoking Noir and the White Bride ... It's Wedding Day, Again!!!

UPDATE

2:36 PM PT -- Photos of Sophie in her wedding dress just dropped, and while the Jonases and co. tried hard to cover her up ... ya can see she looks absolutely beautiful. She's got a veil on and a long, flowing train it seems. Kinda puts all her wedding looks from 'GoT' to shame, really. 

Joe Jonas is a stud in his duds for his wedding day -- and he went all black for round 2. 

The middle Jonas Bro was suited and booted Saturday ahead of his second ceremony with his wife, Sophie Turner, at a sweet French estate they booked for the event -- it's called Château de Tourreau, and it is NIIIICE. As for attire, JJ opted for a black-on-black tuxedo ... and we gotta say, ya boy was looking real sharp for his nuptials. 

Of course, Joe's family were all there -- Nick and Priyanka, as well as Kevin and his wife, Danielle, all took photos with the groom-to-be. Mama and Papa Jonas got in on the photo ops too ... it was a full-blown family affair -- and everyone's dressed to the nines.

As we reported ... Joe and Sophie had themselves a red wedding rehearsal earlier this week -- this coming just nearly two months after they tied the knot on a whim in Vegas.

No sign of the bride yet, but if Joe's vibes are any indication ... she must've stunned walking down the aisle. It's already past 10 PM in France, and the couple has reportedly exchanged vows ... but photos of the actual wedding (and Sophie) have yet to surface.

Congrats to the happy couple ... again!!!

G-strings ain't just for chicks ... just ask golf superstar Brooks Koepka

The #1 ranked PGA player in the world decided to thong out for a friend's birthday party in Florida on Friday -- and it's clear ... dude ain't shy about it!!!

The 29-year-old butt-flossed up and bared his bod while drinking beer on a PonTiki boat in South Florida ... and tested the thong durability when he jumped off into the water.

The theme of the party seemed to be some sort of redneck vibe -- at one point, Brooks was rockin' a shirt that read, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cousin."

BK's hot girlfriend, Jena Sims, got in on the costume fun -- sporting a bathing suit inspired by that neon green man-thong from "Borat."

The birthday boy is a friend named Dan -- so ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!

From grilled cheese to donuts ... it was all pink all the time at Khloe's 35th bday shindig Thursday night. Kim, Kylie, Kourtney and Kendall, of course, were all front and center ... as was Sofia Richie.
PRETTY IN PINK

The only pink thing missing from Khloe Kardashian's birthday bash was a panther.

From grilled cheese to donuts ... it was all pink all the time at Khloe's 35th bday shindig Thursday night. Kim, Kylie, Kourtney and Kendall, of course, were all front and center ... as was Sofia Richie.

Guests were greeted by a neon "Khlo Money" sign ... again, pink. The elegant setup included a gaggle of pink roses ...even pink-themed treadmill and weights.

"Koko's Drink Menu" offered up Casamigos tequila and Grey Goose vodka themed drinks, which they dubbed, "I'm in love with the KoKo" and "Khlo Money Moves." 

For those who imbibed, the libations cups were embossed with Khloe quotes ... "The bigger the hoop, the bigger the ho." As you know ... Khloe loves her some huge loop earrings.

Khloe's kid, True, dressed in a soft pink dress to match her mama's hot-pink top. As the night came to a close ... Khloe & the gang grabbed life by the horns ... as in a mechanical bull.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

By the way ... no sign of Tristan Thompson, but he did wish her a happy birthday. 

MLB's Brian Dozier Twerks On Nationals Staffer ... For Pregame Pump Up

How did Brian Dozier get pumped up for the Nationals game against the Marlins on Thursday??

TWERK! TWERK! TWERK! TWERK! TWERK!

The Washington second baseman was clearly feeling a little frisky in Miami before the final game of the Nats-Marlins series ... so he decided to back that thang up on a Nats staffer!!

Unclear why ... but the video is hilarious -- Dozier does a secret handshake and dance with Victor Robles, then turns his hat backward and decides to twerk it out!!

The best part? Washington's staffer plays along ... and slaps a big ole' handful of booty!!!

Seems the pregame twerkfest worked out for Dozier and the squad ... he went 2-for-4 and the Nats beat the Marlins, 8-5.

You know what that means for superstitious baseball players?!? Pregame twerkfests must continue this weekend in the series against Detroit!!!

Poppy Nightclub Street Fight!!! Fists Flying, Chicks Crying

KNUCKLE UP
BACKGRID

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned street fight -- with a hint of MMA action -- to top off a night out on the town ... and this one even has a hype man and a very distressed damsel!

The "Clash in the Crosswalk" (every great fight needs a title) went down Thursday night outside Poppy in West Hollywood. Two dudes, one with his shirt off -- 'cause why not -- squared up for some bare-knuckle boxing.

Here's what we know from the bearded hype man who repeatedly shouted things like, "Welcome to L.A." and "WEST SIDE!!!!" ... the shirt-off dude started the fight, or at least wanted the fight initially.

But, after one shot to the face, the topless tough guy went down ... and the other guy unleashed his ground and pound game, including an attempted rear naked choke. Attempted.

Anyway, check out the video ... Dana White won't be offering these guys UFC contracts, but the chick who's screaming and crying for them to "PLEASE STOP" ... might have a future in horror movies.

Between the two of 'em, Chandler and Blake have dated some of the biggest stars in Hollywood ... from Kendall Jenner (Blake) to Bella Thorne (Chandler) to Toni Garrn (Chandler) to Arianny Celeste (Chandler) to bikini mogul Francesca Aiello (Blake).
