Kanye West has settled the civil lawsuit filed by the photog he assaulted at LAX ... TMZ has learned.

Kanye and Daniel Ramos shook hands as the case was put to bed.

TMZ broke the story, Kanye was criminally charged with misdemeanor battery and pled no contest. He's currently on probation.

According to Ramos' lawyer, Gloria Allred, one term of the settlement was an apology from Kanye to Ramos. We don't know if any money changed hands. 

Allred says, "We believe that this case sent an important message. Celebrities are not above the law, and they have no right to physically attack someone simply because they were asked a question."

flatly denies instigating the fight that went down in a Canadian Denny's ... in fact, he claims he got sucker punched and plans to sue the guy who allegedly socked him.

Manson's manager tells TMZ the rocker was enjoying his late night meal when two girls approached him and asked for a photo. Manson says he obliged and never called either woman a "b!$%h" ... as the alleged puncher claims

Marilyn says the guy came out of nowhere and hit him in the face. Manson says his security grabbed the guy, who then began screaming about blowing up Manson's next concert. 

Manson also claims the attacker elbowed his makeup artist in her face. He says they're both going back to cops in Alberta to press charges

The high-octane, adrenaline fuelled Furious 7 peeled out of the gates in its opening weekend, picking up a stunning US$143.6 million from 4,004 locations to easily top the domestic box office, according to Rentrak estimates since Sunday.

On the heels of the monstrous success, the music video for See You Again, the Wiz Khalifa collab with Charlie Puth was premiered over the weekend.

The video was instantly shared Vin Diesel's Facebook page along with the caption, "Pablo, this weekend you turned the world into a familyThanks for the love..."

Set in the form of arguably the saddest montage of all time, the Paul Walker memorial that closes out the film shows the actor in the movies throughout the years, as well as a gorgeously shot race with Dom (Diesel), ending with Walker, in a white car, taking the exit on a freeway while Dom drives on.

We all know -- and isn't kind of weird how we all know? -- the struggles that Kim Kardashian has been having in becoming pregnant again. We've heard about how much sex she and Kanye West have been having, we've been hearing intimate details about her reproductive system, all that good stuff. But on last night's episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," we learned even more: it turns out that Kim's required surgery to remove parts of little North West's placenta that was still hanging on to her uterus.


Kim's doctor explained that removing those pesky leftover bits could expose her to more risks during her next pregnancy, and so that it could wind up being safer for everyone if Kim just got a surrogate. Which makes sense, of course, but Kim said that the thought was "really scary," and that she "wouldn't dare ask anyone" to carry her baby for her. She raised some good points, bringing up the fact that her surrogate could turn out to be a "lunatic" who runs away to raise Kim's baby herself, but good ol' Kris Jenner stepped in to volunteer another daughter's uterus, saying "Kourtney would probably do it."

The woman who made Eskimo buddies out of Drake and Lil' Wayne says she knows what's up, and she's ready to say which one's the better banger. 

Tammy Torres told our photog, the story Weezy's shopping around about her doing Drake the day before Weezy hooked up with her is full of holes. She's not denying the basics, but she made it clear one's better than the other.

Tammy says she's been out of the country (apparently somewhere without Internet), but if Wayne decides to go forward with his tell-all book, she'll be ready to tell her side.

She won Cycle 6 of "America's Next Top Model" back in 2006 -- and now, Danielle "Dani" Evans is speaking out about her changing appearance.

The model has been the target of online attacks on her Instagram page, with some suggesting she bleached her skin and doesn't eat. Now 28, Evans is speaking out.

"To all the simpletons who constantly comment with pseudo concern about my physical appearance now, vs 10 years ago -- it's called maturing and gracefully aging," she says in a new Instagram post today. "I thought we all learned this basic fact in 3rd grade. So let's stop with the belligerent comments about me needing to eat and the absurd questions if I'm bleaching my skin."

QQ on the mend

April 7, 2015
Started By Marsha Toya 120 Comments

DANCEHALL artiste QQ is back on his 40-date, Jackhammer tour after falling ill in the United States, last Thursday.

The entertainer was reportedly seen bleeding from the nostrils and coughing up *la*hd. He was attended to by a medical team at a hotel he was staying.

Josiah Dawkins, QQ's father and manager, said the artiste had just landed in Atlanta from New Orleans when the incident occurred.

"I got a call that he was coughing and bleeding through the nose. A medical team was called in and he was treated. QQ told me that the flight was very cold and the doctors said that the coldness and the lengthy time he spent in the air could have contributed to the incident," Dawkins told the Jamaica Observer yesterday.

'I'M GLAD FOOTA CAME'

April 7, 2015

There is still a lot of talk about Saturday night's episode of the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall contest on TVJ, that featured selector Oneil 'Foota Hype' Thomas as a guest judge on the panel.

The airing of that episode of the popular hit talent contest was injected with added intrigue, given the much-publicised feud between judge Cordel 'Skatta' Burrell and 'Foota Hype', sparked by a love triangle involving Downsound recording artiste Ishawna, who is also the mother of Foota Hype's son.

"I'm glad to know I could be a part of one of the most entertaining nights on television. As far as the so called mix-up is concerned, I think it's staler than dry Easter bun.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are laughing off stories they're back together ... they're not.

Mariah posted a photo of the former couple at the Bronx Zoo with their twins, Moroccan and Monroe, captioning the pic, "Happy Easter!!! #ontheegghunt #NYiswild."

According to our sources, while the two talk every day, reconciliation is not in the cards. We're told they try to see each other once a week, sometimes with the kids and other times alone because they've become friends again.

We're told the divorce process has been easy --  it helps when there's a prenup -- but any sort of romantic relationship is ancient history. They both feel they're better off as friends.

She wanted to get off, so she allegedly offered to get a deputy off. He wasn't having it.

The exchange between Beatrize Carrion-Moore and a West Palm Beach Sheriff's deputy was caught on his patrol cars' onboard video system.

"While Beatrizwas in the back seat of my patrol car, she continued to offer me oral sex in exchange for letting her go," the deputy wrote in his report.

As Jamaica prepares to welcome US President Barack Obama, a source close to the Washington delegation has revealed that an entire hotel in Kingston has been booked out for the trip.

According to the source, the hotel which boasts approximately 300 rooms will be occupied entirely by the president and his Washington delegation, who will arrive on the evening of April 8th, instead of the originally disclosed date of April 9th.

According to the source, many Caribbean leaders are currently finding it difficult to locate hotel rooms in Kingston. The Trinidadian Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, is one such leader, according to the source. Persad-Bissessar reportedly tried to make a reservation at the hotel where the US President is staying but was refused, as the hotel cited it was at its capacity.

Say what you will about the Kardashians and their oversharing tendencies, but I firmly believe there is a silver lining to it all. They may live the good life, with privilege and access we can only dream of, but they've got real-life problems we can empathize withand they're willing to broadcast it to millions, nay billions of people. Putting it all out there like that fuels conversation, which is something I'm not afraid to say I applaud them for.

 

One new revelation that hits home is Kim's decision to disclose that she might need a hysterectomy, which means having her uterus surgically removed. In the U.S. nearly 500,000 women get them each year for conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, uterine prolapse, and abnormal uterine bleeding. After getting a hysterectomy, a woman can no longer get pregnant.

Cody Simpson is a robot ... or he's the biggest friggin' Knicks fan in the world, because not even a stone cold 10 like Gigi Hadid could break his steely gaze from the game. 

Cody lived every dude's dream Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden ... courtside seats and a supermodel pawing at you like you're her first meal in weeks. Yet, all the Aussie singer cared about was watching the hapless Knicks lose to the Nets.

On the other hand ... maybe she has the same response to him when they're watching "Girls."

Kim Howe was driving her Lexus on Pacific Coast Highway on February 7th when Bruce slammed into her, sending her car careening into the lane of oncoming traffic where a Hummer demolished her car.

This might help explain that "Gone Girl" photo Rob Kardashian posted last month.

In a sneak peek clip from Sunday's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," Kim Kardashian can't contain her frustrations with her brother -- who she says the entire family has all gone out of their way to please. 

While nobody gets really specific about what issues Rob has been dealing with, it sounds like he's still very self conscious about his appearance. While Kris Jenner wants to use all the family's resources to help him, Kim is clearly over it.

"Everyone licks Rob's ass and does whatever he says and at some point you have to give it up," she says. "We all make his life so easy, 'OK, we'll drive you around with the chauffeur so no one has to look at you!', we had a chef on standby, a trainer. We'll send people to buy you socks and underwear, this is pathetic!"

Rob's issues first started around Kim's wedding, when he left Italy before the ceremony after a fight about his weight. Things haven't gotten any better -- with Rob recently posting a photo of Rosamund Pike's murderous "Gone Girl" character on Instagram with the caption "My sister kim, the b!$%h from Gone Girl."

Andrew Getty who died Tuesday -- claimed his ex-girlfriend stressed him out to the point where she endangered his life.

Getty obtained a restraining order just 2 weeks ago, claiming he was diagnosed in 2013 with a serious medical condition that was exacerbated by stress, often brought on by confrontations with his ex-GF.  He says the stress would send his *la*hd pressure through the roof, creating a "grave risk" of death.

Getty claimed the girlfriend -- Lanessa DeJonge -- knew of his condition and exploited it. Getty claims in the docs -- obtained  by TMZ -- DeJonge would exploit the information about his condition to extort him, demanding money and property.

As for why he got the restraining order, he claims during a car ride she repeatedly kicked and hit him and tossed everything from the car out the window.

He claimed DeJonge was "deranged," arguing with imaginary people. 

The judge issued the restraining order and she was told to move out of his home and stay 100 yards clear of him. It's interesting, because she went to his house and discovered his body.

As we reported, we're told DeJonge was placed on a 5150 psych hold hours after Getty died.

Reggae star Mavado is shoving Philippe Chow's apology right back in its face -- and calling for the entire black community to drop Chow and choose Chang ... as in P.F. Chang's.

Mavado tells TMZ the famed NY restaurant's attempted apology was filled with lies and its claims of loving black customers is a total joke. 

TMZ broke the story ... Mavado says he and his family were treated like second class citizens by the PC staff because they are black. Late Tuesday, the restaurant begged for his forgiveness and claimed its Instagram page proves their love for black people.

Mavado is laughing off the "I have black friends" response -- and says he'll never go back. Instead, he'll be going to P.F. Chang's, and wants every person of color to follow him.

Pretty sure he means in theory -- 'cause that would be one helluva bill.

Brianne Altice, a former Utah high school English teacher, will face three separate trials over allegations she had sex with three male students, reports the Salt Lake Tribune.

Altice, 35, will also stand trial a fourth time to face additional charges alleging she had sex with one of the students while she was out on bail, reports the paper. Prosecutors say Altice had sex with a 17-year-old boy between November 2013 and August 2014. The incident allegedly happened while she was out on bail in the initial sex abuse case involving two students, reports the paper.

A judge revoked her bail in January when he learned of the third alleged incident.

Benefits of morning sex

April 1, 2015
Started By Marsha Toya 120 Comments

Seeking a healthy boost to kick start your day? Look no further than the bedroom.

Adults who make love first thing in the morning apparently not only feel more upbeat for the rest of the day, but also benefit from a stronger immune system.

Research suggests that adults who begin their day this way are healthier and happier than those who simply opt for a cup of tea and some toast before heading out of the door.

 

 
 

Not only does it make them less likely to catch a cold or flu, it can also improve the quality of their hair, skin, and nails.

Dr Debby Herbenick, an American research scientist and sex advice columnist, said: 'Having sex in the morning releases the feel-good chemical oxytocin, which makes couples feel loving and bonded all day long.'

"Some people were saying, 'The cancer is probably back'. And they were accusing me of every eating disorder. I thought to myself, 'God, if someone really thought I had an eating disorder, what a horrible way to approach it.' [However, after continuing the cancer medication], I started noticing that I was eating a lot, but not gaining weight at all. I was concerned. ... I'm sorry that some people think I'm disgustingly skinny, as they put it, but there's nothing I can do. I'm lucky that I even have the type of cancer that reacts to the medicine. ... I look in the mirror and it's hard for me. I am really thin. I want to look fit and beautiful and sexy, and I can't."

You can rag on a person for their ill-advised comments about a woman's hair, but it crosses the line when you start saying they're "disgustingly skinny." How is that any different than saying someone's "disgustingly fat'? Here's a tip: it's not. You can have opinions for whatever your preference, whether curvy or slender, but calling someone "disgustingly thin" or "disgustingly fat" isn't an opinion ... it's called hate, and ain't nobody got time for that.

Terrence Howard preparing to do battle with ex-wife Michelle ... trying to put a quick end to her spousal support because she allegedly blackmailed him with pics and videos he feared would ruin his career.

Sources familiar with the case tell TMZ ... Terrence will likely make a formal legal claim in April, alleging he gave Michelle a ridiculously rich spousal support deal because she was threatening him with various photos and videos.

We're told one of the pics shows Terrence in the shower, but there are many others.

The "Empire" star and lawyer Brian Kramer claim all Michelle was really entitled to was half-a-year's worth of spousal support, since the marriage lasted 1 year and the standard is to limit such support to half the time of the marriage. She got 5 years worth of support, which he says is evidence of blackmail

Selena's murder 20 years ago today was every bit as big as the death of John LennonElvis Presley and the assassination of John F. Kennedy ... so claims the estate of the former Tejano music queen.

Selena's estate claims in new legal docs her record label is hoarding huge amounts of money that should go to Selena's loved ones. In fact, the estate claims Selena actually became way more popular in death than life. 

With 60 million albums sold, the estate is livid that UMG is not honoring the deal -- that the estate gets 50% of net profits for things like ringtones, downloads and other stuff.

Selena was gunned down by the former president of her fan club on March 31, 1995.

Justice Sarah James-Thompson sentenced a sex offender to a total of 82 years in prison for molesting a teenager two years ago.

The sentence was handed down in the St Catherine Circuit Court last Friday.

The 45-year-old St Ann accused pleaded guilty to all charges during the preliminary inquiry.

He was given sentences of 45 years for rape, 15 years for abduction, 12 years for robbery with aggravation, and 10 years for grievous sexual assault.

Justice James-Thompson ruled that the accused is not eligible for parole until he has served 35 years of his sentence.

The court heard that in May 2013, the complainant, who was then 13 years old, was on her way to school in St Catherine when the accused held her and dragged her into bushes.

He placed a machete at her throat, while he raped her. He also robbed her of the $550 lunch money she had.

After the ordeal, the complainant made a report to the Linstead police in St Catherine.

An investigation was launched and he was subsequently picked up by the police.

He was positively identified by the complainant during an identification parade.

The investigating officer in the matter was Detective Constable Tracey-Ann Cooper-Prince of the Linstead

Criminal Investigation Branch.

TMZ broke the story ... Terrence is required to pay Michelle $5,800 a month in spousal support, but if he makes more than $62,500 a quarter, she gets 21% of the excess. According to her docs, Terrence made $125,000 an episode in Season 1 and he's sure to get a huge raise.

Michelle claims Terrence has not only failed to pay the 21%, but she says he's way behind in the $5,800 monthly obligation ... to the tune of more than $100k.

Also according to Michelle's docs, Terrence is using his first ex-wife's business to divert his earnings, making it appear he earns very little. In fact, Terrence claimed as recently as November all he was getting in the way of income was just shy of $6k a month ... money that was paid by the ex-wife's business.

"Empire" started shooting in September, so that's when the bucks started rolling in.

But all good things come to an end, and according to the divorce, Michelle's spousal support ends next year

REGGAE singer Queen Ifrica said she will be taking up a challenge that American A-list actor Samuel L Jackson issued via social media recently. The result will be borne out in a Negro spirtual-flavoured single entitled Swing Low.

"During the recent Ice Bucket Challenge, Samuel L Jackson gave out a challenge to artistes around the world to sing a song about black people not being killed and abused anymore," she told the Jamaica Observer.

"I saw it on YouTube and I am taking up the challenge," she continued.

Queen Ifrica was speaking with the Observer at her 40th birthday party held at the Opa! Greek Restaurant and Sky Lounge on Old Hope Road in St Andrew, last Wednesday.

The insane over-the-top Ohio mansion where Mike Tyson lived and partied in the '80s and '90s is getting a complete makeover ... in Jesus' name. 

The mansion is insane -- featuring marble EVERYWHERE, a hot tub with mirrored ceiling, indoor pool, tiger cages, a basketball court and more. 

Tyson sold the place in 1999 ... and it's had multiple owners since then ... but now, according to the Daily Mail, it's been bought by a developer who plans to turn the property into a church. 

The place isn't in terrible shape ... but it does need some work ... especially since vandals tagged the joint, leaving several "anarchy" symbols around the house. 

And get this, the new owners have offered Tyson an invite to the church's first gathering. No word if he plans on going.

When a girl sends a man her naked picture... he gets excited... (pun intended)...because it shows that she really likes him. It strokes his ego, and it's very useful when he's about to knock one out. Men are drawn to racy women...it's just our nature.

In the same breath, some women love the thrill of exchanging these types of pictures (or videos). And the reality is ... women have become more open about bedroom activities. Perhaps you may disagree with the statement but the astronomical sales of Fifty Shades of Grey suggests otherwise. But of course, women only read the book... or watch the movie...because they are "curious".

Curious my ass - they're living vicariously through that movie.

A few women will voluntarily send their pictures to men because they know it will turn them on, while other women will send stuff because their boyfriends asked for it. And then in some cases, some women will send it because their boyfriends demanded it. So, although she was hesitant at first... he pressured her, made her feel guilty... until she caved in.

Aaron Hernandez essentially had a hall pass to cheat on his fiancée whenever he pleased ... because she says she knew all about it ... but decided to look the other way.  

Shayanna Jenkins testified for the second day at Hernandez's murder trial where he stands accused of killing Odin Lloyd back in 2013. 

Jenkins testified that she broke things off with Hernandez after she found evidence that he was banging other chicks on his cell phone. But Jenkins says she got back with Hernandez anyway because their bond was too strong.

After they reconciled, Jenkins says she decided to "compromise on his behavior, and that included infidelity and everything that came along with that."

Jenkins also testified to throwing away a box at the behest of Hernandez the day after Lloyd was killed. Jenkins says she does not know what was in the box and never looked inside
