Chris Brown

I'm Not Losing Royalty ...

This Tour's On Lockdown!

9/6/2015 1:00 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE

0903-chris-brown-instagram-01Chris Brown is beefing up his security force and putting his entourage, dancers, and crew on notice -- NO screw-ups on tour ... or else. 

Sources close to Chris tell us he's hired 5 new bodyguards to shadow him during his "One Hell of a Nite" tour. One of the guards will be eyeballing his money and his jewelry at all times -- and there will be NO backstage access for anyone, unless they know Chris.

The problem is ... he's fighting for joint custody of Royalty and fears Nia Guzman will use any missteps against him when they meet in court in 2 weeks. We're told Chris wants to make sure there are no more robberies or violent incidents.

He's so serious about keeping things clean, he's told his dancers and entourage they'll be sent home if anyone acts out. 

So, to recap ... Chris is now the adult. Go figure.

Rob Kardashian

All Signs Point to Dramatic Weight Loss

9/6/2015 6:44 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

0906-rob-kardashian-instagram-01Rob Kardashian not only looks like he's lost a lot of weight, there's a not-so-subtle message he seems to be telegraphing.

Rob posted this Saturday, presumably at a restaurant where he was eating a salad.  

0906-SUB-rob-kardashian-instagram-01

The phantom Kardashian has resurfaced this week after a long absence, and it's clear he's ready to show the progress he's made in the weight department.  Rob's been working with trainer Gunnar Peterson, with the goal of losing 100 lbs.

The drink on the table's interesting ... could be an ice tea, but maybe a red bull and vodka or a margarita.  Door number 1 would be the wisest choice.

Good luck Rob.

Kim and Kanye

Shhhhh!!! Baby on Board ...

And She's Sleeping

9/6/2015 6:53 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and North West made their way through security and a gaggle of photogs Saturday as they left LAX, and the challenge was to keep the kid sound asleep.

The Kanye for Prez questions were white noise ... way more interesting is how to keep a 2-year-old counting sheep in the middle of chaos.

Damon Wayans Taking Heat

Some of Cosby's Accusers 'Un-Rapable"

9/6/2015 7:05 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

Damon Wayans is drawing fire for comments he made about Bill Cosby's accusers, some of which sounded like he was making a joke but there also seemed to be an underpinning of seriousness.

Damon was talking to Charlamagne Tha God on The Breakfast Club Friday, when he unloaded on the accusers, musing that some of them waited 40 years to lodge complaints and saying, "How big is his penis that it gives you amnesia for 40 years."

But the biggest criticism emanates from his comment that some of the women were "un-rapable."

So we gotta ask ...

50 Cent

I May Be Bankrupt

But I'm Ballin' in Africa!!!

9/6/2015 7:27 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

50 Cent is worried his utilities may be shut off in his Connecticut, but he's turning on the lights in Africa, ready to throw a ridiculous house warming party.

It's the weirdest bankruptcy we've seen in a long time.  50 had creditors banging at his door, gas and electric companies looming, yet he just posted this video saying, "My crib is almost finished in AFRICA.  I'm gonna have the craziest house warming party ever. I'll explain later. I got a good life Man."

Please explain soon how to make bankruptcy a party.  #useful information.

O'Shea Jackson

When I'm a Millionaire

I'm Goin' After the Lakers!!!

9/6/2015 7:39 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

O'Shea Jackson hasn't reached the million dollar milestone, but when he does the first thing he's targeting is Lakers memorabilia.

Ice Cube's son was out at Warwick nightclub in Hollywood Saturday, when our photog asked about financial stuff.  The "Straight Outta Compton" star made it clear he and his fam are huge Lakers fans, and they've collected everything that wasn't nailed down, and a few things that were.

Check out the video as O'Shea talks about the most valuable Lakers item in his collection ... and he explains why he needs to apologize to Kanye.

Chanel West Coast

I Can Kick Faux Cops

And Get Away with It

9/6/2015 12:50 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE

Young Money rapper Chanel West Coast won't be charged with assaulting and battering a security guard in a drunken stupor, despite the fact that most of it is right there for all to see on video.

The video is epic -- the "Ridiculousness" star was booted from 1 OAK non compos mentis last month after she allegedly started a fight inside. But the fighting didn't stop there, because she went wild on a security guard, kicking and punching him.

After failed negotiations, she was cuffed and arrested.

But the forgiving guard has decided to let bygones be bygones, so charges will not be filed.

It may not be over. Chanel posted pics of her bruises from the incident, claiming she was unnecessarily roughed up.

9/6/2015 7:18 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF

Tyler Perry just released a tribute he produced for Bobbi Kristina's private funeral, and it's extremely touching.

The Houston Estate wanted the tribute released.  It's worth watching.

Justin Bieber

Fan Tripping At Concert Not My Fault!!!

9/6/2015 12:40 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE

0903-justin-bieber-tmz-01

Justin Bieber is pulling the "what do you mean?" card on a New Jersey woman who's suing him after she tripped on a loose cable at one of his concerts. 

Bieber's camp is calling BS, saying there were NO electrical cables lying anywhere around where Sandy Ricketts was standing, during the 2013 "Believe Tour in Philly". They say if she hurt herself she has her own clumsiness to blame. 

In Bieber's legal docs, there's also an interesting reference to the fine print on the concert tickets, which say fans assume the risk of injuries when they attend. 

Ricketts says she was hurt bad ... severe and permanent injuries including a broken shoulder, busted lip that required surgery and a sprained wrist.

Bieber and company are asking a judge to throw the case out.

'Step Brothers' Film

Catalina Wine Mixer Going Down

... For Real

9/6/2015 12:30 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
EXCLUSIVE

0903_CATALINA-WINE-MIXER-flyerThe Catalina Wine Mixer – the legendary scene from Will Ferrell's "Step Brothers" flick – is coming to life, and it's going to be just like the movie, right down to a helicopter landing.

The film company has given a Santa Catalina Island business the green light to recreate the scene in glorious detail for the event, which kicks off next week. 

Just like the movie, The Dan Band is headlining, but the sweetest part ... they're planning on landing a helicopter on the lawn of the event, just like the movie finale! 

No word if Ferrell or John C. Reilly will encore their “Por Ti Volare” and “Boats 'N Hoes” mash-up.
