Justin Bieber was straight up BOOED at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday… and not like 1 or 2 people … it was a straight up CHORUS of boos … and it made Justin super uncomfortable.

It all went down when Cee Lo called on Bieber to receive the first ever Milestone Award — but when Bieb got to the stage, the crowd turned on him.

Of course, there were some screams from the hardcore Bieber fans … and JB managed to silence the haters for a minute by thanking Jesus Christ (who’s gonna boo JC?) … but overall, more boos than a haunted house.

As for the Bieber/Selena Gomez situation, the two were NOT seated together during the show — despite a pre-show photo of the seating arrangement that suggested they would be.

Instead, she was kickin’ it with Taylor Swift … and didn’t stand when Bieber’s name was called for the Top Male Artist Award.

Make it stop … “Teen Mom” star Jenelle Evans is officially a wanted woman AGAIN … after blowing off a court date today in North Carolina.

The 21-year-old MTV reality star was supposed to appear for a hearing in her cyberstalking case, but Brunswick County court officials tell TMZ, she no-showed. The judge then issued a warrant for her arrest.

As we reported, Evans was arrested back in 2012 for allegedly cyberstalking an old roommate/ex-boyfriend.

Jenelle’s arrest history is legendary … just last month she was busted for heroin possession and assault.

According to Jay-Z, Beyonce Knowles isn’t having another baby just yet — but she still loves showing off the one she already has.

The singer posted a bunch of brand new photos on her Tumblr page this week, including the adorable one above of little Blue Ivy sitting in her monogrammed BIC chair.

Knowles also shared a few photos from the couple’s trip to Cuba earlier this year, the two of them looking blissfully unaware of the controversy surrounding their visit to the Communist country.

Lindsay Lohan has just been sued for $5 million she doesn’t have … all because of her highly-publicized drug problems, TMZ has learned.

D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries — a clothing manufacturer — just filed the countersuit against Lindsay in response to Lindsay’s lawsuit against the company.

In her lawsuit, Lindsay says she struck a business deal with D.N.A.M. in 2009 allowing them to manufacture clothes for her “6126″ clothing line — but D.N.A.M. stiffed her on a massive licensing fee. Lindsay wants $1.1 million in damages.

But D.N.A.M. is now coming back at Lindsay for nearly five times that amount, insisting SHE’S the reason their business deal fell apart.

According to D.N.A.M., the company did its darndest to sell their 6126 clothes to high-end third party retailers — but by spring 2010, no one would touch the brand … because Lindsay was back in rehab … and her legal problems were playing out in the media “like a Greek tragedy.”

D.N.A.M. claims Lindsay’s “drug-addled image” destroyed 6126′s reputation, and rendered the clothing line completely unsellable.

D.N.A.M. says it invested millions in 6126 for nothing — and now it’s suing for breach of contract and fraud, demanding at least $5 million in damages.

And the irony … Lindsay’s currently back in rehab yet again.

Lindsay’s attorney, Perry C. Wander, tells TMZ … “The license agreement does not have a morals clause that allows the company to suspend payment for any behavior.  The contract is not in LL name thus she cannot be held personally liable. The cross claim is therefore frivolous and totally without merit and will be defended vigorously.”

Kim Kardashian is NOT upset that Kanye West has decided to go on tour just a few months after the birth of their child … because TMZ has learned, she plans to go with him, baby and all.

There are reports Kim felt like Kanye was abandoning her by scheduling a tour for his new album in October — just three months after she’s expected to give birth — but sources close to the touring company tell us, that’s not true … because Kim and the baby are coming along for the ride.

And she’s not messing around either — we’re told the touring company has already been given orders to arrange for cribs and soundproof hotel rooms at every stop.

 
Kanye hasn’t announced whether his tour will go international — but we all know the guy has an affinity for Paris, so we’re guessing he’ll most likely be heading overseas.

Rocky‘s boxing gloves … Dorothy‘s ruby slippers … Indiana Jones‘ bullwhip … the bikini Farrah Abraham wore on the cover of her sex tape — one of these pieces of cinema history CAN BE YOURS!!! — take a guess which.

Vivid Entertainment — the porn studio behind the release of “Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom” — listed Farrah’s pink crystal-encrusted two-piece on eBay at midnight … and bids started at $500.

It’s pretty hilarious … the listing advertises the Poolside Collection bikini as “used” — we’re told that means exactly what you think it means: the bikini wasn’t washed since Farrah wore it.  Think Monica Lewinsky and The Gap.

In fact, we’re told the bikini shows overt signs of wear, including fake tan stains and glitter from Farrah’s body lotion.

As the listing goes … “Farrah’s bikini … straight off Farrah’s body and into your hands.”

As if your hands won’t already be busy enough.

Hugh Hefner really loves his 27-year-old Playmate wife Crystal Harris … we’re told he’s created an intricate plan to set her up in a multi-million dollar estate, where no one in his world can displace her once he dies … but there is one hitch.

Hef plunked down $5 million last month for a 5,900-square-foot Hollywood Hills mansion, which is held in trust for the 2 of them.  Short story — Crystal owns the house with him.

Playboy sources tell us … the couple is happily living at the Playboy Mansion, and they have no plans to move.  So why, you ask, did they buy the Hollywood Hills home?  Fact is … Hef is a renter!  He doesn’t own the Playboy Mansion … it’s owned by Playboy Enterprises.

We’re told the 87-year-old perennial player wants to make sure Crystal has a roof over her head when he’s gone, and the Hollywood Hills estate fits the bill.

As for the one hitch — it’s if they get unhitched.  Then Hef will either give her the house, buy her out, or fight it out in court.

BTW … the house has 4 bedrooms, 5 baths, an infinity pool and sick views — perfect for a young widow.

Demi Moore has been like a heat-seeking missile … squarely aimed at the bank of Ashton Kutcher … sources connected with the couple tell TMZ.

Our sources say Demi — who ironically is richer than Ashton — has demanded spousal support from Ashton.  It’s particularly surprising because we’re told Demi recently got around $15 million belatedly from ex-hubby Bruce Willis in connection with their divorce.   If the case doesn’t settle it’s virtually certain a judge would reject Demi’s spousal support claim.

Sources say Demi wants Ashton to help pay for the renovations to her New York apartment … something he’s unwilling to do.  BTW … we’re told the apartment (in the ritzy San Remo building) is worth somewhere between $25 mil and $40 mil!

There are other sticking points.  We’re told Demi is upset because Ashton got involved in an online business and she feels entitled to part of it.  Problem is … he got involved AFTER they split, so it’s almost certainly his separate property.

Our sources say Ashton is willing to give Demi something to end the battle … the question is how much?  Demi scored big in her divorce from Bruce Willis — getting a reported $90 million.  Her net worth is estimated at $150 million.  Ashton’s reportedly $10 million behind her.

In the end, our sources say Demi is backing off a bunch of her demands and the case could settle as early as next month.

Jennifer Lopez has 10 million reasons her summer will be better than yours … she just dropped a boatload of cash on a massive Hamptons estate … just in time for beach season.

J.Lo closed the deal this week with real estate guru Susan Breitenbach of the Corcoran Group … scooping up a chic 8,500-square-foot mansion near Mecox Bay for $9.95 million.

The pad is obviously amazing — it’s in the Hamptons, duh — with 8 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, 3 acres of land, a theater, pool, spa, sauna, steam room … pretty much standard rich people house stuff.

And get this … we’re told Jennifer bought the place as a summer hang out spot.  The land baroness already owns a mansion in Hidden Hills, CA and two homes in NY.

Charlie Sheen‘s legal team is headed for court this morning … and he wants to expose what he believes is a crass ploy by ex-wife Brooke Mueller to make her brother the guardian of their kids so she can still get her hands on Charlie’s gigantic child support checks.

As we previously reported … Brooke is gunning to wrestle temporary custody away from Denise Richards, who has been caring for 4-year-old Bob and Max while Brooke tries to get it together at The Betty Ford Center.  Brooke wants her brother to get temporary custody until she’s sober again.

Charlie believes the almighty dollar is at the root of Brooke’s ploy.  He claims Brooke will still have access to Charlie’s $55,000 monthly child support check if her bro gets the kids, and that’s why she wants Denise out of the picture.

What’s more … sources connected to the case tell TMZ … Denise has written proof — in the form of text messages — in which Brooke makes it clear — she wants and needs those monthly checks.

Sources say Brooke — through her lawyer — will counter that Denise is the one who is in it for the money, although our sources say Denise has not asked Charlie for a dime for taking Bob and Max.

We’re told Charlie wants Denise to keep the twins until Brooke is sober and able to prove she’ll stay that way.  Charlie realizes that could mean Denise could have the kids for a year … and maybe longer.  Charlie will tell the judge he would gladly pay Denise support money for her efforts.

Kim Kardashian is turning into a real bad ass … she’s telling friends she thinks Kanye West was spot on when he lunged and swore at a paparazzo in Bev Hills.

Kim — who is always impervious to the gaggle of photogs who chronicle her every move — thinks Kanye was justified when he bolted out of a restaurant and went all Incredible Hulk on an unsuspecting camera guy.

As you know … Kanye had a close encounter with a metal sign as he walked to 90210, slamming his forehead UFC style with a souvenir that will probably last for a week.

Kim is telling friends … the paparazzi have become increasingly aggressive with both of them since she became pregnant.  She’s especially upset because on Monday a photog chased her down while she was driving and she had to swerve into another lane to avoid him and almost got into a bad accident.

Bottom line … Kim is encouraging Kanye to take care of business when a photog crosses the line.  The problem with her theory — in the case of the sign, the photogs held their distance and Kanye just didn’t look where he was going.

 
The truth hurts.

Zoe Saldana is baring it all!

The “Star Trek Into the Darkness” actress covers the June issue of Allure … and she’s revealing more than just her sexy figure.

Posing in just her birthday suit for the mag, the brunette beauty opens up about her sexuality and dating in Hollywood.

The 31-year-old describes herself as “androgynous” … and says she could end up with a women!

“[I might] end up with a woman raising my children…that’s how androgynous I am!,” she tells the mag.

Saldana also plays coy when asked if she’s ever been in a relationship with a woman, saing “Promise me one thing: You’re going to ask this question [in the article]—if you choose to, just put three dots as my response. That’s it.”

Zoe also admits that she’s over dating actors — last year, the actress split from on-again-off-again beau, Bradley Cooper.

“Been there, done that, got the T-shirt,” she says of dating Hollywood heavyweights.

But she’ll never say never, admitting to the mag that if there’s a good thing in front of her she won’t let it pass her by!

“If I have something good in front of me — it doesn’t matter if it’s a person or a pair of shoes — I’m not going to test something else,” Saldana reveals. “It’s insecure, and it’s immature.”

For Zoe’s full interview with the mag, make sure to pick up the June issue of Allure on stands May 21!

More evidence Beyonce is with (2nd) child — she just canceled her concert in Belgium and BLAMED IT ON DEHYDRATION AND EXHAUSTION!!!!!

 
The pregnant rumors have been circulating for weeks … but B has remained mum on the situation.
Now, she’s bailing on a show … and using the D&E excuse … commonly known in the entertainment  industry as “What you tell the media when you don’t want to tell the truth.”

Beyonce’s rep says the singer is “awaiting word from her doctors before making a decision.”

So … think she is hiding something?

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie announced on Tuesday that she had a preventive mastectomy after learning she had a gene that significantly raised her risk of breast cancer. Here’s a crash course in the procedure Jolie had and why.

Q: What kind of surgery did Jolie have?

A: Jolie had a preventive double mastectomy, meaning she chose to have both her breasts removed even though she had not been diagnosed with cancer.

A: Jolie says that she has a “faulty” version of the BRCA1 gene that means she had an 87 per cent chance of getting breast cancer. By having both breasts removed preventatively, she said her breast cancer risk drops to below 5 per cent.

Q: What did the procedure involve?

A: In double mastectomies, surgeons typically remove as much breast tissue as possible. In Jolie’s case, because she was having a reconstruction done shortly afterward, the doctors preserved the skin covering her breasts, inserting “fillers” where the breast tissue would have been, to keep the skin elastic. According to Jolie, she had implants put in nine weeks later.

Q: How many women have this faulty gene?

A: Only a small percentage of women have this same faulty gene, or a similar mutated version of a related gene, BRCA2. These mutations are most commonly found in women of Eastern European Jewish descent; one study found 2.3 per cent of women in that group had the mutations — about five times higher than in the general population. Other ethnic groups, including the Norwegian, Dutch and Icelandic people, also have slightly higher rates of these mutations.

Q: How do these genes increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer?

A: The average woman has a 12 per cent risk of developing breast cancer sometime during her life. In comparison, women who have inherited a faulty version of a breast cancer gene are about five times more likely to get breast cancer. In the U.S., about 5 to 10 per cent of breast cancers are thought to be linked to harmful versions of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.

Q: How can women find out if they have these gene mutations?

A: A genetic test using a blood test can usually detect these genes. In the U.S., there are no standard guidelines recommending women for BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic testing. The tests usually cost at least several hundred dollars. Women may be at higher risk for having a harmful mutation if they have close family members diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer at an early age. Jolie says that her mother fought cancer for nearly a decade before dying at age 56.

Q: What other options might Jolie have had?

A: Doctors would likely have suggested earlier screening tests, including mammograms or MRIs, but those would only help them spot breast cancer earlier, not prevent it. They might also consider using breast cancer drugs preventively, though trials into their long-term use is still ongoing. “This is not a decision that people take lightly,” said Dr. Emma Pennery, clinical director at the British charity, Breast Cancer Care. “You cannot decide to have a double mastectomy next week.”

Q: How relevant is Jolie’s decision to other women?

A: For most women, genetics will not play a big part in whether or not they get breast cancer. “The majority of women considering their breast cancer risk should focus on things like a healthy lifestyle, eating a balanced diet, keeping a healthy weight and not drinking too much alcohol,” said Dr. Peter Johnson, chief clinician at Cancer Research U.K. About one third of breast cancer cases in Britain are largely tied to modifiable lifestyle risk factors.

But for women with a similar genetic risk to Jolie, it’s possible her decision to go public about her double mastectomies will prompt more procedures. “It’s a very empowering message that women are not helpless when faced with a genetic cancer risk,” Johnson said.

17-year-old rap prodigy Chief Keef is making bank off his music — GREAT NEWS — except he knocked up a girl and now has to pay a TON in child support based off his budding income.

TMZ broke the story, Keef — real name Keith Cozart – was sued for child support​ by his middle-school-aged baby mama earlier this year. She claimed Keef fathered her kid — born in 2011 — when he was only 15.

According to court docs, the teenage rapper pulls in about $13,000 A MONTH!!! Pretty baller considering his age.

As a result, a judge ordered Keef to pony up $2,600 a month in child support — based on his lucrative career — plus $500 in day care expenses and $10,400 in previously unpaid support. A hearing is set for next month to finalize the amount.

Congrats Keef, you’ve arrived.

Newly minted porn star Farrah Abraham is so worried James Deen knocked her up while filming their infamous sex tape … she peed on a stick.

Sources close to Farrah tell TMZ … the former “Teen Mom” star hadn’t had sex in more than a year before James got her … and the duo didn’t wear condoms while filming … and Farrah wasn’t on birth control. Basically all the makings for an after school special.

We’re told Farrah recently missed her period and started freaking out, thinking she was growing a little porn spawn.  So she went shopping for a pregnancy test at her local pharmacy.

We’re going to go to out on a limb that she’s NOT pregnant … for 2 reasons.

1.  We’ve seen the tape, and you don’t get pregnant THAT way.

2. It’s not that James’ parting gift went IN her as much as ON her.

The Good News: Beyonce’s dad, Mathew Knowles, raked in BOATLOADS of cash during the years he managed B’s career … we’re talkin’ millions.

The Bad News: The IRS says he still owes all sorts of taxes on some of that income — over $1.2 MILLION.
Uncle Sam just filed a ridiculously large lien against Knowles, claiming he needs to cough up some cash from the years 2010 ($485,575.95) and 2011 ($728,004.89) … all totaled, $1,213,580.84.

It’s no wonder the bill is so high … Beyonce is arguably one of the highest grossing musical talents OF ALL TIME — and during the years 2010 and part of 2011 MK was still managing her career. Not to mention his slew of other projects, including his own record label.

Seriously, when your tax bill is over a million … you’re pretty rich.

Lindsay Lohan is determined to leave The Betty Ford Center for greener pastures … but TMZ has learned prosecutors are having none of it.

TMZ broke the story … Betty Ford doctors have cut Lindsay off from her Adderall, which she has always said was a deal breaker.  Sources connected to Lindsay tell us she’s going “crazy” and is desperate to move to another facility.

We’re told Lindsay has researched other facilities and found one on the west coast which she believes is suitable to complete her 90 days.  She wants to move ASAP.

Lindsay is saying she believes Betty Ford is “old school” and is not sensitive to the problems of young people.

But law enforcement sources tell us … prosecutors are “unbending” — they will NOT approve any move. As one source put it, “She had 45 days to find a suitable place.  She didn’t listen to her people and just did what she wanted so it’s her problem now.”  The source adds, “Not gonna happen.”

The Real Housewives of NYC have banded together against the Bravo Network — REFUSING to continue on the show unless they ALL get huge raises, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us … LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Aviva Drescher, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Heather Thomson were recently approached by Bravo individually with contract offers to appear on Season 6, which is supposed to begin production on Monday.

But the women were each unhappy with the offers … and figured they would have more leverage against the network if they teamed up … just like the cast of “Friends” did back in the day.

We’re told the women approached Bravo as a group and made their demand clear — FAT RAISES FOR ALL … OR WE QUIT.

Here’s where it gets interesting — sources tell us the network is FURIOUS … and has told the group they have until Friday (tomorrow) to sign the offers that are currently on the table, or they’re all FIRED.

Translation — IT’S A STANDOFF!!!!!

One thing to consider — Season 5 of “NYC Housewives” was one of the lowest rated seasons in the show’s run.

A rep for Bravo had no comment on the situation.

Randy Jackson is putting his “American Idol” career to sleep – Randy just announced he’s leaving the show for good at the end of the season.

Jackson — who’s been with the show from the very beginning — just released a statement saying, “Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to rest, after 12 years of judging on ‘American Idol’ I have decided it is time to leave after this season.”

Randy continued, “I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry. It’s been a life changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures.”

Lindsay Lohan could be getting support from someone who has done cocaine waaaay more than 4 or 5 times … ’cause Brooke Mueller‘s in the house!

Sources familiar with cocaine tell TMZ … Brooke and Lindsay are currently staying in the hospital wing at The Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage.  In fact we’re told they’ve already run into each other and exchanged pleasantries … not drugs.

The question — who mentors who?  The person who has more experience with drugs, or the person who was cleaner — although it’s unclear which is which.

MYSTERY SOLVED!!! Just as we suspected, Chris Brown is the artist behind the weird graffiti murals in front of his Hollywood Hills home … the same renegade artwork that just got him in trouble with the City of L.A..

As we reported, Chris was cited last week for having “unpermitted and excessive signage” outside his home … after his neighbors complained to their councilman.

We couldn’t confirm initially whether Chris was the artist behind the paintings … until now. The photos were snapped on April 26th, and the graffiti is still there. Which is a problem. Because if Chris doesn’t remove the paintings soon, he’ll be fined.

In addition to a possible fine, Chris has already been charged $376.32 by the City just to pay for the inspector that was sent to his house. That bill will increase to $1,176 if Chris doesn’t pay within 30 days.

Tick, tock …

Ronnie from “Jersey Shore” just survived something more painful than a summer with Snooki — 10 agonizing days in the hospital with kidney stones … TMZ has learned.

Sources in Ronnie Magro‘s camp tell us the 27-year-old got out of a Florida hospital Wednesday after undergoing two surgeries to treat kidney stones … and more.

Ronnie initially went in for the stones, but we’re told docs discovered he was born with a hereditary disorder that’s also fouling up his kidney function.

Doctors still haven’t cleared Ronnie to fly — so he’s stuck in FL for the time being.

Btw, we’re told Sammi “Sweetheart” was with Ronnie for his entire 10-day hospital stay … so they probably broke up at least twice.

Moments after it was revealed, Britney Spears’ Shape Magazine cover, fans started alleging the bikini photo was altered with extreme Photoshopping – but just how strongly edited was it?

Judging by a side-by-side with a recent real-life swimsuit pic (right, taken in March), not much!

While her cleavage was likely touched up and her skin was smoothed out all around (normal for magazine covers), the curves of her bod are indeed hers.

 
The 31-year-old credits her fit physique to Nutrisystem, yoga and rehearsals for her upcoming residency in Las Vegas.

“I’m doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio — hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer,” she tells the magazine.

So while Photoshop made her skin glow just a little brighter, that physique came from a lot of hard work and a grueling diet.
