Jay-Z & Beyonce Drop $26 Million In the Hamptons!!!

Jay-Z and Beyonce are officially balling on both coasts -- they've gobbled up another 8-figure property, and this one's in the Hamptons.

Jay and Bey plunked down a cool $26 million for the 7 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom pad in luxurious East Hampton, NY. The crib's no joke -- the 12,000 square ft. pad sits on 2 acres of land with scenic water views of the Georgica Pond.

It's got everything hip hop royalty wants -- bathrooms sculpted with Italian marble, an infinity edge pool and an 1,800 square ft. guest cottage. The kitchen features an 18th century carved stone fireplace. Trulia first reported the purchase.

The original structure was built over a century ago but Jeffrey Collé spent 2 years redesigning the current masterpiece. Great sequel to their roughly $90 million West Coast purchase.

Selena Gomez Just Doing My Job Look Away, The Weeknd!

Selena Gomez planted one on a dude that wasn't her bf, The Weeknd, in NYC ... but she ain't two timin' ... it's just another day at the office.

The guy's name is Timothee Chalamet. You might recognize him from the TV show "Homeland" or the film "Interstellar" -- but now he's playing Selena's love interest in Woody Allen's latest flick.

It's been shooting all over the Big Apple and Thursday they filmed this well-lit smooch scene. We're pretty sure Tim probably didn't mind a retake or eight.

Scott Disick & Sofia Richie Lock Lips in Miami

Scott Disick's moved on to his next fling, but he's keeping things consistent -- she's another hot young celeb still in her teens.

Scott and 19-year-old Sofia Richie chilled on the beach in Miami Thursday after arriving together earlier in the day for an apparent couples vacay. The 2 soaked up some sun ... and shared a kiss by their waterfront hotel.

We've seen them hanging out around L.A. for weeks now, but there's never been any PDA. These Miami pics make it clear Scott's found the perfect follow-up to also 19-year-old Bella Thorne -- who he was dating over the summer.

Well played, sir.

'70s Superstar Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round My Bloodied Finger!!!

Let's just say Tony Orlando will NOT be knocking three times on a ceiling anytime soon -- not with his left hand, anyway.

The '70s pop star -- who sang 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon' and "Knock Three Times" -- sliced the tip of his middle finger clean off in a garage door accident at his home in Branson, Missouri.

Tony's son, Jon, tells us he was calm and collected -- way more than you'll be when you see the damage. He found the tip of the finger, picked it up and drove himself to a hospital ... like a boss!

We don't know yet how the surgery turned out, but gotta say ... his manicurist is gonna be pissed.

Bernie's rep tells us he died peacefully Wednesday, surrounded by loved ones. We're told he suddenly fell ill recently, and had spent the last few days hospitalized.

Jake LaMotta 'Raging Bull' Boxer Dead ... De Niro Pays Tribute

8:54 AM PT -- Robert De Niro just issued a statement on LaMotta's passing, "Rest in Peace, Champ."

Boxing legend Jake LaMotta -- the champ who was played by Robert De Niro in the movie "Raging Bull" -- died Tuesday, TMZ has learned. He was 95.

Jake's wife tells TMZ, Jake died in a nursing home due to complications from pneumonia.

Another family member tells TMZ, Jake's condition deteriorated in the last few weeks. He was put on a feeding tube, which he kept pulling out. His condition worsened considerably in the last few days and a decision was made to withdraw the tube.

Jake's wife tells TMZ, "I just want people to know, he was a great, sweet, sensitive, strong, compelling man with a great sense of humor, with eyes that danced."

LaMotta was 83-19 in 106 pro fights -- a career that began in 1941, after he was rejected from serving in the military due to a medical issue.

He went on to win the world middleweight championship -- but he's most well known for his 6-fight rivalry with Sugar Ray Robinson ... though he only won 1 of the 6 fights.

LaMotta was famously portrayed by De Niro in the 1980 movie "Raging Bull," based on Jake's autobiography. De Niro won the Academy Award for Best Actor that year.

Justin Bieber Son of a Gun ... The Kid Looks Tight!

Justin Bieber's having a hard time keeping his shirt on ... and the struggle is real.

The Biebs went mostly shirtless over the weekend in WeHo as he hit up a skate park. The "Purpose" singer has a pretty good reason for going skins -- just look at that bod. Need we say more?

The shirt did serve one good purpose ... blocking those rays. Skateboarding is cool and all ... but for our money, we'll take reservations for 1 in Laguna Beach.
