OOOOPS! Rihanna PREGNANT by Leonardo DiCaprio? He says NO and plans to SUE!
As Maury Povich would say, 'Leo, you are not the father!'
Leonardo DiCaprio is taking the French gossip magazine Oops! to court after it claimed he was having a baby with reported girlfriend Rihanna and did not wish to be in the child's life.
Gossip Cop reports the 40-year-old is far from pleased about the baby news which was splashed across the cover of the mag last month.
His legal team have filed the suit in a French court demanding the magazine retracts the story and pays him the maximum compensation French law allows, namely of 18,000 Euros, or around $US20,000 in damages plus legal fees.
According to court papers sighted by Gossip Cop, the actor has also asked the company be further fined another 10,000 Euros if it does not apologise and print a retraction.
Leo, the website reports, became aware of the magazine's claims which he was in France for the Cannes International Film Festival.
Published May 13, the tabloid's cover featured pictures of Rihanna and Leo saying, 'Rihanna Pregnant With Leonardo's Baby: He Doesn't Want The Baby'.
An owner of Oops!, Frederic Truskolaski, told Gossip Cop his magazine knew its story was untrue.
He said 'we didn't know' if Rihanna was pregnant but 'thought she might be. We were not sure, of course'.
The owner is not hopeful he will win the case: 'Usually you lose. [The fine] won't be much.'
Truskolaski was shocked that the Hollywood heavyweight is suing however, asking 'Why is he doing this?'.
Leonardo is not just suing because of the claim, the website reports, but also because pictures of him used violate France's strict right to privacy laws.
The case is set to go before a Paris court on June 16.
Shauna Balenciaga Threatens to Expose Chris Brown?
Last year transwoman party girl Shauna Brooks (Balenciaga) made the news after she revealed that she had been invited to party at Chris Brown's home in Virginia.
Well, after Chris made disparaging remarks about Caitlyn Jenner, Shauna threatened to ‘allegedly’ expose him...
It all started after Chris reposted a popular meme referring to Caitlyn Jenner as a science project.
That's when Instagram blogger Celeb Gozzip caught Shauna popping off in the comment section threatening to expose Chris if he didn't take down the post.
Chris Brown's post has since been deleted. I tell you I don’t whose worst Chris, or THE GURLS!

A new Tell all book is claiming Bobbi Kristina 'was addicted to drugs at 14?
Bobbi Kristina, the ill-fated daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was a drug addict by the time she was 14 years old according to an explosive new book which reveals shocking new details about the short lives of the singing superstar and her only child.
Whitney & Bobbi Kristina: The Deadly Price of Fame, written by Ian Halperin, portrays Bobbi Kristina as a wild child who never stood a chance growing up in an environment where her own mother was too consumed by her own drug demons and sexuality issues to be a functioning parent.
The book emerges just six months after a drug overdose left Bobbi Kristina, 22, in a coma from which doctors have said she is unlikely to ever regain consciousness.
According to Halperin, Bobbi Kristina was just 12 years old when she first accompanied her mother to rehab in Antigua in 2005.
Not long afterwards the troubled teen started needing her own stints in recovery wards.
Even before she was 15, Bobbi Kristina had already been committed to a psychiatric hospital for observation after trying to stab her mother before slashing at her own wrists, a relative told the author.
In seeking to find an explanation for mom Whitney's addiction problems, Halperin revisits the often repeated speculation that the singer may have been a lesbian who chose to deny her true sexuality.
Before Whitney's marriage to Bobby Brown her closest confidante was Robyn Crawford, who she had met as a teenager in East Orange, N.J.
The pair lived together during the early years of Whitney's career and continued to share a hotel room when the superstar toured.
Houston always adamantly denied she was a lesbian, but husband Bobby even expressed his own doubts in his memoir.
'The media was accusing her of having a bisexual relationship with her assistant,' he wrote. 'In Whitney's situation, the only solution was to get married and have kids.'
Crawford, who is openly gay, resigned from the superstar's production company in 2000.
Whitney and Bobby eventually split after 15 years of marriage in April 2007 and as the singer attempted to relaunch her musical career, her daughter continued to spiral out of control.
'A 17-year-old Bobbi Kristina was left to her own devices in Atlanta, where she had taken up with a hard-partying crowd, including the boy who had moved into her house three years earlier, Nick Gordon,' writes Halperin.
Not long after photos were made public of Bobbi Kristina snorting coke at two separate parties - her mother's response was to cancel her daughter's 18th birthday extravaganza and packed her off again to rehab.
After Whitney’s death, Bobbi Kristina became more and more dependant on Gordon and the pair allegedly immersed themselves in the drug scene in Atlanta where they lived.
'The crowd she hung out with was out of control,' a friend of Bobbi Kristina's told Halperin. 'The past couple of years she hung with a bunch of crazies, they were wild and reckless.'
Halperin, whose previous works include Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson and Who Killed Kurt Cobain? also speculates in his book about the final hours leading up to Bobbi's overdose earlier this year.
On January 31, Bobbi Kristina - only 22 - was discovered facedown in a tub of cold water just days before the third anniversary of her mother's very similar death. Gordon claims that he administered CPR.
There has been much specualtion that Bobbi Kristina had attempted suicide, but Halperin believes that she could have been subjected to what drug users call 'the plunge.'
The practice involves plunging an overdose victim into cold water while administering slaps to try and revive them.
'She probably took the plunge,' one local drug addict told him.
This could explain the 'facial bruises that paramedics reportedly found,' wrote Halperin.
Although Bobbi Kristina has been taken out of a medically induced coma she remains unresponsive, and family sources have indicted she has irreversible brain damage.
'Only the toxicology report — or in the worst-case scenario, an autopsy — can definitively answer the question about which, if any, drugs Bobbi Kristina had in her body at the time she was found,' Halperin writes.
'It's possible that authorities will unveil new evidence that discredits the cold-water bath theory completely. It's also possible that we may never know what happened.'
Whitney & Bobbi Kristina: The Deadly Price of Fame will be published June 9 by Gallery Books.
Made In America Cancelled In L.A., but Philly is Still On
Say goodbye to the Made in America Festival’s multi-coast platform (for now). After just one year, the Los Angeles installment has been cancelled, but Philly is still locked in.
The annual festival presented by Budweiser, and founded by Jay, hits Philly September 5 and 6. A smaller one-day Made in America show on New York’s Liberty Island is rumored to be happening June 21, with Mary J. Blige as headliner.
Reports the Los Angeles Times:
The festival, now in its fourth year, will again return to its birthplace of Philadelphia (Jay Z’s fledgling streaming service Tidal has been offering all kinds of ticket specials). But instead of staging a simultaneous L.A. edition, Made in America will host a free concert on New York’s Liberty Island, Billboard reported Thursday morning. (Billboard has since taken the story down from its website. The Times confirmed with representatives from Live Nation that the festival is not returning to Los Angeles.)
“This is not at all a stepping back — this is a reevaluation of the model of going from one location to two to three,” Budweiser VP of marketing Brian Perkins told Billboard. “We’re a very ambitious brand, and we have a very ambitious partner in Jay Z, who also dreams big. And we always want to do big, bold things with music under the moniker of Budweiser Made In America.”
Papa Hov hasn’t confirmed the June concert yet, but expect for any and everything Made in America-related to be streaming on TIDAL.
J.Lo and her Booty Too Hot for Moroccan TV
Looks like J.Lo and her famous assets have landed in some pretty hot water over in Morocco. As hard as it is to believe, not everyone enjoys watching Jenny from the block shake what her mama gave her, and after a recent performance at the Mawazine Festival last month she is being sued by an education group for her sexy performance. Lopez has performed in Morocco in the past, but this was the first time any of her performances have been televised in the country.
One upset citizen even filed a complaint, calling the show a “sex show,” and saying that it had “deliberate nudity” as well as “obscene acts and signs.” The The lawsuit also states Lopez “disturbed the public order and tarnished women’s honor and respect” and if found guilty Lopez and her promoter face up to two years in prison. Now I’m pretty sure J. Lo won’t be found guilty of any real crimes but I doubt she’ll be invited back to perform anytime soon!

SADNESS! Philly’s own Anthony Riley Dead - 'The Voice' Contestant Dies at 28
Anthony Riley, a contestant on the most recent season of The Voice, has sadly died of an apparent suicide at age 28.
The singer received instant chair turns from all four judges during his audition and he ultimately went with coach Pharrell Williams. After making it through the first battle round, Anthony left the show and cited personal reasons.
Anthony later revealed that he was overcoming substance addiction and decided to leave the show to go to rehab, which NBC reportedly paid for. He was found dead on Friday (June 5) in the basement of his Philadelphia apartment, according to Philly.com.
We send out our thoughts and prayers to Anthony‘s loved ones during this difficult time.
Amber Rose wants to teach you Ladies how to be a BAD B*TCH!
Amber Rose wants to empower women - and apparently that starts with taking their clothes off.
The model poses very nearly naked on the cover of her upcoming self-help book How To Be A Bad B**ch, due out in October.
The 31-year-old is pictured covered in gold body paint with a teeny tiny strip of gold bikini top and a strategically placed leg protecting her modesty.
Amber's book deal was announced earlier this year and on April 3, she explained to her fans that 'Being a Bad B**ch is not being a "B**ch" at all.'
In an Instagram post alongside a first version of a possible cover for the book, the mom-of-one wrote: 'I'm taking back that word and using it to empower instead of using it as a negative connotation.'
'A Bad b**ch is sweet, confident, well rounded has her finances straight, knows what she wants and goes for it. Everyone that meets her loves her.'
She said the book will talk about the mistakes she has made in her life so other women can learn from them, and she promised to share 'all the secrets about Love, Sex, Social Media and how to get everything u want out of life.'
Describing herself as 'just a regular girl from Philly with a cool haircut,' she said she used her wits, BODY and personality to get where she is today.
OOOPS! Will Smith gets stuck into stunt work on Toronto rooftop!
He may be 46-year-old, but Will Smith is still keen to do as many stunts as possible on the set of his new movie.
The actor was spotted filming some sky-high scenes for Suicide Squad on Saturday, shooting on a Toronto rooftop.
In costume for his role as Deadshot, Will was seen in his distinctive mask as the cameras rolled on the set of David Ayer's hugely anticipated DC Comics adaptation.
Will flashed a big grin as he joked with the crew before getting into character for the action scenes.
The star was fitted with his Deadshot mask and wore a skin-tight red top which showed off his impressive physique. He was also fitted with plenty of pads and his body armour which makes up Deadshot's costume.
Another key part of the look for the film is Will's shaven head, which he's been sporting for a couple of months now.
Deadshot, the code name for baddie Floyd Lawton - who first appeared the 1950s Batman comic books, is a marksman for hire who has little regard for human life.
While he's mostly covered up in costume for the movie, back in February during promo for Focus Will told USA Today that he started getting in shape months ago, just so he could get to grips with the physically demanding stunts.
The DC Comics adaptation follows the group of supervillains imprisoned in an asylum who are offered clemency by a secret government agency in return for carrying out covert black ops.
Suicide Squad is scheduled to hit cinemas in August, 2016.
