'Fixer Upper' Stars Host Season Premiere Bash One Last Hurrah!!!
Chip and Joanna Gaines hosted their last season premiere party with over 100 of their closest friends ... and, yes, that's Chip without his trademark beautiful locks. We'll explain.
The "Fixer Upper" stars had a season 5 premiere party Tuesday night and watched it on the jumbotron at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas. It's where the Baylor Bears football team plays and the city where Chip and Joanna's company, Magnolia Market, is based.
About 150 people attended -- from contractors and designers to Magnolia workers to people who work for the super popular HGTV show. As we reported ... the couple announced back in September the 5th season would be their last. We're still trying to recover from the devastating news.
Chip and Joanna thanked everyone for turning the show into a huge success. And for those wondering why Chip's got a new hairdo -- he shaved his head earlier this month for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ... helping raise $230k.
Seriously ... Chip and Joanna. Perfect.

The Weinstein Company Netflix Cuts Ties for Golden Globes After-Party
Netflix will be hosting its own after-party for 2018's Golden Globes Awards -- 'cause they've cut ties with longtime partner and co-host The Weinstein Company ... TMZ has learned.
Our Netflix sources tell us Netflix has opted to take TWC off the billing for their famous party after the awards ceremony in January -- and the allegations against its co-founder, Harvey Weinstein, have everything to do with it.
The Netflix-Weinstein after-party is one of the biggest shindigs during the Golden Globes -- they've been hosting it together for the past 3 years, and even held it at The Beverly Hilton in 2017.
TWC has been a prominent partner with the streaming service for a while now, having produced a handful of movies and shows for them -- including "Marco Polo" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend."
As for the upcoming bash ... we're told Netflix hasn't locked down a location yet for their after-party, but sources say they're eyeing the Waldorf Astoria in Bev Hills.

Blac Youngsta Crazy Mickey D's Takeover Vid!!! This Got Manager Fired
Blac Youngsta got a serious case of the late night munchies after a North Carolina gig, hopped a McDonald's drive-thru line and set off a string of hijinks that cost the night manager his job.
The rapper hit up a Mickey D's last weekend in Raleigh, and even though it was only serving at the drive-thru ... the manager opened the doors wide when he recognized Youngsta and his crew.
That's when the trouble began -- dancing on counters, ordering up burgers, play fighting and hanging out the drive-thru window. Full golden arches turn up!
But the whole thing went too far when Youngsta attempted to take orders from actual customers. Not cool if you're a non-BY fan who's jonesin' for fries at 3 AM. We're told someone complained to corporate, and the late night manager got axed.
Judging by the video, it was totally worth it. At least until rent's due.

O.T. Genasis Forget Weed NBA SHOULD LEGALIZE COCAINE!!!
Hey Adam Silver, you know what would be dope, like literally DOPE?
Your entire league running up and down the court COKED OUT OF THEIR MINDS ... but that's not a TMZ Sports suggestion, it's coming straight from Mr. "I'm In Love With The Coco" himself, O.T. Genasis.
We got O.T. out at Le Jardin (Hollywood hot spot) and asked him if the NBA should consider legalizing not only weed but COCAINE (and basically all drugs) for the players to use.
O.T. thinks it's a great idea, and now that we think about it it'd be pretty awesome to see Russell Westbrook going berserk on the court completely co- NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
KIDS STAY AWAY FROM THE COCAINE, YOU'RE UNCLE O.T. IS JUST MESSING AROUND.

As we previously reported, Serena and her (now) husband Alexis Ohanian went all out on the party -- and due to the fact the guys from BBD were there and wearing matching clothing ... we're guessing they performed live.
The decorations were tennis-themed -- the guest seating placards were in the shape of Wimbledon and U.S. Open trophies. Pretty damn awesome.

We got the rock legend outside The London hotel in NYC, and just had to get his take on George getting hammered and obnoxious during last week's KISS Kruise. Some fans were pissed off, but Gene says George was just enjoying himself.
Even though Gene famously doesn't drink, he's got no issues with fans rock 'n' rolling all night and partying everyday -- up to a point. You gotta see what he says about regulating unruly fans ... at least back in the day he would.

76ers' Ben Simmons Hits L.A. Nightclub ... Before Lakers Game
Here's Ben Simmons trying to level the playing field for the Lakers -- hitting a Hollywood nightclub hours before taking the court at Staples ... and TMZ Sports has video.
The 21-year-old 76ers superstar had dined at Catch LA restaurant late Tuesday evening and left around 1:10 AM on Wednesday morning. He ended up at 1 Oak ... one of the top nightclubs in L.A.
Here's the deal ... Philadelphia takes on the Lakers at 7:30 PM on Wednesday -- so, nightclubbing the morning of the game could be a tricky situation.
But Philly's on fire right now ... playing out of their minds (just ask the Clippers) -- and maybe Ben thinks nothing in L.A. can stop him, not even L.A. thots.
This has happened before ... the Milwaukee Bucks partied at an L.A. strip club before playing the Lakers in 2015 ... but L.A was much more terrible back then. Oh, and Milwaukee lost that game.
Good luck, Ben ...

Pay attention, normies -- here's how you turn up for your birthday if you're worth over $300 MILLION like MLB superstar Giancarlo Stanton (even though you're probably not).
Stanton turned 28 on Nov. 8, but celebrated this past Friday at Hyde in West Hollywood with rap stars Wiz Khalifa and G-Eazy ... plus a bunch of hot chicks with signs spelling out his name, 'cause why not??
But the slugger's rumored boo Lexy Panterra was MVP of the night -- serenading the b-day boy with a booty-ful rendition of her new song, "So Good."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
FYI, Giancarlo and Lexy spawned all kinds of hookup rumors after they got half naked together in a music video ... and this Marilyn Monroe-esque performance won't do anything to calm that down.
Happy belated, young stud.

Hugh Hefner Celebration of Life Set for Mansion ... Scalpers Jack Up Prices
The final Playboy Mansion bash honoring Hugh Hefner is going down this weekend, and although it's supposed to be invitation-only -- there's a way you can get in ... but for a VERY hefty price.
The event's been labeled a celebration of life, and it's set for Sunday from 10am to 2pm. Remember, Sunday Funday was always a big tradition for Hef back in his partying days, so it's a fitting send off.
Leave it to ticket scalpers to key in on that ... because tickets have started popping up online. The highest price we found was $3500 a pop. No word on who got real deal invitations, but we're told it's supposed to be mostly close friends and family. Plus whoever throws down thousands on the black market.
As we reported, Pabst heir Daren Metropoulos bought the Mansion -- and is planning some major renovations and add-ons -- so this might be the last party there in its current configuration.
Hef was 91 when he died in September, but a Playboy party is forever.

Happy birthday, Dream!!!
