9:20 AM PT -- J.D. tells TMZ Sports he meant Kaep was screwing up the owners' money, not the money for black QBs.
Colin Kaepernick's protest is screwing up the NFL ecosystem for black QBs and costing them major money ... so says "The Wire" actor J.D. Williams who says Colin's hurting more than he's helping.
Williams has been in a ton of stuff, but he's most famous for playing street soldier Bodie Broadus for four seasons on HBO's "The Wire."
Williams took to his Twitter moments ago and fired off a series of tweets doing something most black celebrities have shied away from doing ... criticizing Colin Kaepernick's protest.
"I appreciate Kaepernicks' sentiment and attempt at a statement but he didn't HAVE to sacrifice his career in THAT way. Nice try?"
"We do REMEMBER black QBs in the NFL weren't even a THING really until about 7 yrs ago right? Kaep f**ked up their money ... with a big ass fro."
He didn't stop there, going on to imply Colin's protest wasn't a smart thing to do, because his employer (the NFL) doesn't care about his politics.
Spike Lee is now promoting a huge rally for Kaep at NFL headquarters later this month -- don't save a spot for J.D. though.

Amir Khan I'm Leaving My Wife She's Banging Anthony Joshua
8/4/2017 7:38 AM PT
7:40 AM PT -- Joshua JUUUST responded in the most hilarious way ... posting the classic Shaggy video, "It wasn't me," and saying he likes his women BBW (a little thicker).
Amir Khan just went nuclear on his wife, accusing her of banging heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua ... after telling the world he's divorcing her.
Khan has been married to model Faryal Makhdoom since 2013, but took to Twitter minutes ago to announce the marriage is OVER.
"So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best."
He didn't leave it there, telling the whole world he thinks Faryal is rebounding with Joshua.
"Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer @anthonyfjoshua"
Faryal isn't taking the whole thing lying down (lol), and fired off a series of Tweets of her own saying Khan is just a washed up crybaby looking for attention, and the real cheater in the relationship.
"Accusing other boxers just because your boxing career is finished. Man up amir."
"I'm not the one who's been in the papers every month with my pants down 😂 Cheater!"
So far no response from Joshua, but his text messages have to be crazy right now.

TLC Takes Dig at Duggars ... Defends Jazz Jennings
8/3/2017 2:32 PM PT
TLC is speaking out in support of transgender teen Jazz Jennings after she was verbally attacked by Duggar family member Derick Dillard.
Dillard unleashed a social media rant on the 16-year-old, saying ... "Transgender" is a myth. Gender is not fluid; it's ordained by God." He made the comments while her show, "I Am Jazz," was airing Wednesday night on TLC ... where the Duggars used to be top dog.
A TLC rep tells TMZ ... Dillard's "personal statement" in no way reflects the network's views.
TLC pulled the plug on "19 Kids & Counting" after Josh Duggar's child molestation scandal broke in 2015 -- so Dillard's comments do smack a little of sour grapes.
Dillard still has TLC ties though -- his wife, Jill Duggar, is set to star on an upcoming show called "Counting On."
Every day I experience cyber-bullying, but I keep sharing my story. Today was no different.

J.K. Rowling Sorry I Ripped Trump/Disabled Boy Video ... Not Sorry to the Prez
8/1/2017 8:10 AM PT
J.K. Rowling choked down some crow by apologizing for her rant about a viral video of President Trump seemingly ignoring a handshake from a disabled boy at the White House.
J.K. blasted the Prez for the video, saying ... "This monster of narcissism values only himself and his pale reflections." She added it was "horrible" he couldn't bring himself to shake the little boy's hand.
After the 'Harry Potter' author ranted, the boy's mother said the video was misleading -- and she wanted to make it clear Trump had not snubbed her son, and the boy wasn't even trying to shake the President's hand.
J.K. tweeted an apology to the mother and her son, saying she didn't intend to cause them any distress.
Re: my tweets about the small boy in a wheelchair whose proferred hand the president appeared to ignore in press footage, multiple /1
@jk_rowlingInterestingly, she did NOT apologize to Trump. You may have heard ... she's not a fan.

YOU AIN'T FOOLIN' ANYONERachel Lindsay finally called out "Bachelorette" contestant Lee Garrett for racist and misogynistic tweets he put out before his time on the show ... and he owned up to it.
Rachel confronted Lee on Monday night's "Men Tell All" episode before next week's finale, and she got to address what a lot of the country has already taken notice of in recent weeks ... that Lee has had some pretty controversial thoughts on Twitter.
One specific tweet that had everyone fired up was posted by Lee last summer which read ... "What's the difference between the NAACP and the KKK? One has a sense of shame to cover their racist ass faces."
Luckily, the meeting ended peacefully -- with Rachel saying she hoped this experience would better Lee as a person.
As for him ... he apologized to Rachel and the rest of the guys, and got some love in return.

President Trump Transgender People Too Expensive To Serve in U.S. Military
7/26/2017 6:50 AM PT
President Trump says transgender recruits are too expensive for the U.S. military, and that's why he's banning them from serving their country ... in any capacity.
Trump dropped the announcement Wednesday morning on Twitter, of course, saying transgender individuals are banned from serving because it "cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."
It's not the first time he's gone after the transgender community. Back in February ... the Trump administration withdrew federal protection for transgender students.
The Prez championed himself as a supporter of the LGBT community ... saying he would fight for them while "Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs."

Kanye West I Didn't Lie About 'Pablo'! It's a Living, Breathing Work of Art
7/18/2017 10:15 AM PT
Kanye West didn't fail on his promise to deliver his album, "The Life of Pablo," exclusively to Tidal ... which means pissed fans have no business suing him ... according to Kanye, anyway.
'Ye responded to the class action lawsuit which claims he conned people into getting Tidal on the basis it would be the only place they could hear his album when it came out in February 2016.
Kanye says after he initially released 'Pablo' numerous changes have been made to the album, and the versions now available on competing streaming services are different. He insists the original 'Pablo' has only been on Tidal.
In the lawsuit, fans accuse Kanye of backing out of his promise, especially after he tweeted 'Pablo' would never be on Apple Music, and would only be available for sale or streaming ... on Tidal.
In his new docs, however, Kanye says another tweet proves his point ... that 'Pablo' has been a "living breathing changing creative expression." He wants the lawsuit dismissed.

Ed Sheeran 'GoT' Trolls Win ... Deletes Twitter Account
7/18/2017 7:44 AM PT
9:15 AM PT -- Ed reactivated his account. Looks like he's starting fresh by deleting tweets all the way back to April 3, 2015 and only with about 8k followers.
Ed Sheeran got beat like Ramsay Bolton in the Battle of the Bastards -- enough "Game of Thrones" fans lit him up for his singing cameo that he's bowed out of the Twittersphere.
Ed deleted his 19.6 million-strong account Monday night after haters bombarded him with criticism for the very brief scene -- which many thought was too real for the fantasy world of 'GoT.'
Ed did say he'd be quitting Twitter about a month ago, but the timing is still a little suspect. His other social media pages are intact.
Important note for the haters ... his performance couldn't have been that bad since Sunday's season 7 premiere broke HBO's viewership record ... up 27% from last year's premiere.

J.J. Watt Shades LaVar Ball Your ZO2 Shoes Suck!
7/14/2017 8:21 AM PT
Another day, another enemy for LaVar Ball ... this time it's NFL superstar J.J. Watt who roasted Ball over the ZO2s ... saying they suck, are overpriced ... and most importantly, Watt's shoes are better.
Watt took to Twitter to announce the release of his $99 Reebok training shoe and took the time to call out Ball when he did it ... posting a not-so-subtle shot at the Big Baller Brand boss.
"400 dollars less than some shoes on the market and 100% more effective" ... "And I actually wear them."
LaVar and Lonzo's sneakers retail for $495.
Lonzo's been killin' it in the NBA Summer League ... but only since he stopped wearing the ZO2s ... and switched to Kobe's Nikes and Harden's Adidas kicks.
Shots fired.

Rob Kardashian IG Shuts Him Down for Chyna Nudes ... Moves to Twitter
7/5/2017 1:08 PM PT
2:18 PM PT -- It appears Twitter has now also removed the nude photos of Chyna from Rob's account.
It seems Instagram has had it with Rob Kardashian's revenge porn against Blac Chyna, 'cause they just shut down his page.
Rob tweeted Wednesday ... "Since Instagram shut me down everyone peep my twitter lol" ... and then proceeded to post the same nudes of his ex on Twitter.
As we reported ... Rob's on a social media rampage against Chyna after he allegedly caught her cheating, posting naked pictures of her as well as text messages from her and her alleged side pieces.
It's unlikely Rob will be prosecuted under California's revenge porn law, because prosecutors must show the victim suffered emotional distress ... almost impossible to do since Chyna "liked" the pics on Instagram.
Probably won't be long now 'til @Jack and co. take him down on Twitter too.

CHOICE WORDS"F**k LaVar Ball" -- Joel Embiid.
That's exactly what the Philly 76ers star proclaimed on Instagram Live Tuesday ... just a few days after the Big Baller said Sixers players should stay off Twitter and get in the gym.
ICYMI -- Embiid and fellow Process Truster Ben Simmons tweeted their opinions of BBB during the NBA Draft ... with Embiid asking Simmons to dunk on LaVar's son, Lonzo.
LaVar wasn't havin' it ... telling 97.5 The Fanatic, "when you don’t win and don’t even make the playoffs, and don’t even stay on the court long enough, that’s the best thing you can do is tweet, make some stuff."
"These guys ain’t played a game, always hurt, and at the bottom of the totem pole," Ball added at the time.
"So guess what, get your asses off the goddamn Tweeter, and get in the gym."
So when someone asked Embiid what he thought about LaVar's comments during the IG stream, he unleashed a simple, yet effective 3-word response.

IT'S INAPPROPRIATEDr. Terry Dubrow thinks Donald Trump not only acted un-presidential by calling out Mika Brzezinski for allegedly showing up at Mar-a-Lago on New Year's Eve and bleeding from plastic surgery ... he says it's flat-out body shaming.
The "Botched" star makes it clear ... Trump has no evidence Mika had plastic surgery. What's more, he says someone showing up bleeding from the face is dealing with issues other than plastic surgery.
On all counts, Dr. Dubrow joins the chorus slamming Trump for his tweets.

RUNNING FOR THE HILLSEven Kellyanne Conway has NO defense for President Trump's verbal attack on Mika Brzezinski ... because she tried every possible tactic to avoid the topic.
We got Trump's Counselor Thursday morning on Capitol Hill -- just a few hours after his brutal tweets about Mika. We barely got the question out when she launched into every pivot in her arsenal.
Her agenda for the day, her "bipartisan hug" with Rep. Debbie Dingell ... and when an elevator couldn't come quickly enough, she tried the ole ... how's the weather tactic.
Yeah, "It's a gorgeous day here" ... isn't gonna make this one go away.

BACK-TO-BACK BLOWSMika Brzezinski took plenty of jabs at President Trump Thursday on "Morning Joe" ... and it appears this is what sparked his Twitter attack.
Mika and her co-host/fiance, Joe Scarborough, went off on Trump over several topics -- from the healthcare bill to "teensy hands." Shortly thereafter, POTUS fired off his tweets about "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" and "Psycho Joe."
The reality is Joe and Mika were just doing their show. It's not like this was their first time being critical of the Donald. Maybe it was just his first time watching, but the news desk banter doesn't seem to justify the President's personal and petty response.
