Shirley Ceasar is floored her gospel performance has turned into a Thanksgiving theme -- largely thanks to Chris Brown -- but wants all her fans to know, she ain't down with the twerking.

The clip from the gospel singer belting out "Hold My Mule" years ago ... has gone viral as the #unameitchallenge. It's pretty simple ... dance your ass off to the remix of Shirley singing about the perfect Turkey Day feast.

Check out what she told us about the "ass" part of the craze, and in case you had any doubts -- Shirley's still got the pipes too!

Bella Hadid's mom is striking back at the Olympic gold medalist who trolled Bella for her new deal as a Nike brand ambassador.

Figure skater Meryl Davis basically slammed Bella for working with the athletic giant -- posting a pic of Bella with the swoosh, Kylie Jenner in Puma gear and gymnast Aly Raisman ... with the caption, "I'll take the one promoted by the athlete please."

Mama bear ain't happy. Yolanda Hadid tells TMZ, Bella had Olympic dreams and competed in equestrian riding every weekend from age 3 until 15, when Bella got Lyme disease. She says Bella was forced to quit riding competitively.

The disease can fog the brain and slow reaction times -- an obvious danger while riding.

Athletics aside ... Yolanda added, "You obviously don't have to be an athlete to wear or enjoy Nike wear."

Mick Jagger loosens the ol' belt when he's eating out, and doesn't skimp on gratuities ... as the staff at a high-end Chinese joint quickly learned.

Eyewitnesses at Philippe Chow in NYC tell TMZ Mick popped in earlier this week for a quick meal with a crew of 5, plus another car full of security. Mick and his buddies ordered FAT, with starter dishes like lettuce wraps, tuna tartare, chicken satays and green prawns.

Then the real food came ... with an order of Mr. Cheng's Noodles, Peking duck and the restaurant's own Baked Alaska cake for dessert.

We're told Mick and co. were very polite and quick, scarfing down their meal. The craziest part -- Mick left a tip bigger than the $478 bill ... at $500.

"If you try sometimes, you get what you need" ... said the lucky waiter.

Super jock Shane Keough became the crush of millions after his family was on the first season of the Bravo reality show 'Real Housewives of Orange County." Guess what he looks like now!

Elton John can stop worrying about the bloody lawsuit claiming he grabbed at his ex-security guard's genitals on multiple occasions ... the case has been dismissed.

Jeffrey Wenninger sued Sir Elton in March for sexual harassment and battery for 3 alleged incidents that went down while he worked for him, but Wenninger's lawyer requested to dismiss it this week. It's unclear why ... but all signs point to a settlement.

TMZ broke the story ... Wenninger said John put his hand in his pants and at one point told him, "Get your todger out." He claimed there were several incidents like this during his employment, which ended in September 2014.

How wonderful life is, now Todger-gate is closed.

Elon Musk is a single man again ... divorced a second time from the same woman ... TMZ has learned.

The judge in Elon and Talulah's divorce just signed legal docs making the dissolution official.

The fact there's a settlement makes it clear ... the 2 had a prenup that gives her a lump sum payment in exchange for waving all support.   

Elon filed for divorce in 2014 but withdrew the docs 6 months later. At the time we were told the couple had a prenup that would have scored her $16 mil. The new docs don't give an amount.

This time around Talulah filed divorce docs in March.

As we reported Elon has been super chummy with Amber Heard for months. We've learned they were together recently.

Nick Cannon dropped a bombshell ... he confirmed he's expecting a child with actress Brittany Bell.

Nick spilled the tea with "The Breakfast Club" Thursday ... saying he's following God's orders to be fruitful and multiply. Rumors started flying because of his new single, "Baby on the Way" ... and in this case, they were on point. 

Cannon already has twins with Mariah Carey, so this will be his third child. He famously revealed he had to wait until marriage for sex with Mimi. No so with Brittany -- there's no wedding planned, and they're not even dating now.

The guy who trashed Donald Trump's Hollywood star just got slammed with a felony vandalism charge ... and he could end up behind bars for a while. 

The L.A. County District Attorney's Office finally charged James Otis Thursday with one count of felony vandalism for taking a pickax to Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last month. Otis recorded video of himself doing the deed ... so this is as close to 'open-and-shut' as you're gonna get.

We broke the story ... Otis said he defaced Trump's star to stand up for the President-elect's alleged sexual assault victims, and that he was happy to go to jail for the crime.

Careful what ya wish for -- he's now facing up to 3 years in jail and a $10,000 max fine if he's found guilty. 

Melania Trump had a lunch date with her son and inadvertently created a huge scene at a popular NYC restaurant, or more simply ... she got a taste of her new life.

Melania and Barron hit up Serafina, but not before Secret Service showed up to sweep the place and warn the restaurant "she's coming." We're told restaurant staffers weren't immediately clear about who "she" was.

Moments later, the future First Lady showed up with Barron and their Secret Service detail. We're told an area was cleared around their table for some space from other patrons ... who were all wanded with metal detectors.

As for food? Melania had a Di Fabio pizza ... Barron scarfed down pasta. And little Trump wasn't truant, btw. He had the day off for parent/teacher conferences.

Bobby Brown says his daughter, Bobbi Kristina, had unlimited earning potential before her bf helped take her life ... and a judge put a very high dollar amount on those prospects.

Nick Gordon was ordered to fork over $36 million to Bobbi's estate Thursday after he was earlier found liable for her death. 

Here's a partial list:

-- Conversion (stealing funds/assets) at $1.5 mil with punitive damages of $250k

-- Assault and battery/medical damages at $1.3 mil, plus $4.2 mil because Gordon was under the influence of drugs and alcohol

-- Pain and suffering at $13 mil

-- Loss of life at $15 mil, including her net worth and future potential income

The final tally came after tearful testimony from BK's family. The estate had originally sought $40 million in its wrongful death suit against Gordon. The obvious issue now will be when and if the estate gets a dime out of him.

Gordon was a no-show in court, just as he'd been throughout the case. 

Joe Jonas and the rest of DNCE are playing a free, impromptu show to celebrate the band's 1st album, soooo ... traffic alert, NYC! 

Their stage popped up Thursday afternoon at Penn Plaza, and we're told the band will plug in around 6 PM ET ... one day before their album drops.

Sources tell us they just wanted to do a show for kicks and giggles, and that's all there is to it. Doesn't hurt in the promotion dept either.

Ah ya ya ya ya!!
