Boosie Blasts American Airlines as Racist ... AA Says Not So Fast

EXCLUSIVE

Boosie labeled American Airlines racist as hell for refusing to let him board his flight ... but the airline says the rapper's got it twisted.

ICYMI ... the rapper went on a homophobic, profanity-laced rant Sunday ... calling AA as a bunch of racist punks for refusing to let him and his kids board a flight from Charlotte to Grand Rapids, Michigan. It appears Boosie confirms he showed up late to the gate because he wrote, "The captain told you that we could be let on but you did not want us on because of your jealousy towards me."

A spokesperson for American Airlines tells TMZ ... "[Boosie's] inbound flight from Jackson, Miss., to Charlotte, NC., was delayed, and he arrived at the gate for his connecting flight to Grand Rapids, Mich., after the airplane door had been closed."

The spokesperson added, "While we understand misconnections are frustrating, [Boosie] was not denied boarding for any other reason other than he arrived after the door had already closed for departure."

The airline booked Boosie and his family another flight later that night but that didn't stop the rapper from wishing death on AA's employee and hoping for a plane crash. #RealMature.

Sounds like Boosie's jeopardized his status with AA ... the airline tells us it's reviewing Boosie's interactions with employees as well as his rant to determine his status moving forward. 

So ... what was so important in Grand Rapids that had Boosie burning up after missing his flight?

A pool party.

Kaiser Griffith couldn’t stop grinning during a pool day with dad Nathan Griffith, just a few days after Nathan’s best friend said the child has been ‘so happy’ after moving out of Jenelle Evans’ home.

Amid a custody battle and address change, Jenelle Evans’ son Kaiser Griffith, 4, is still smiling. His father Nathan Griffith, 31 — who is currently taking care of Kaiser — treated the boy to a fun day at the pool, which Nathan’s girlfriend Ashley Lanhardt shared photos and a video from on June 10. Kaiser floated on a pool noodle, blew bubbles and even showed off his underwater breathing skills! The child is turning into a “water baby,” which Ashley adorably noted in her Instagram caption. “These are too cute not to share. 💦,” she wrote, adding, “What a little water baby just like his handsome daddy. 💕 .”

The pool day has been one of many family outings! Nathan was seen smiling in a photo with his dad and Ashley on June 9, who were all at a Church service that served complimentary donuts. Nathan also enjoys taking his mini me to the water park and bowling alley, which the former Teen Mom 2 star’s best friend, Katlyn McCormick, 28, revealed in an EXCLUSIVE interview with HollywoodLife. “They do everything together now and have fun. It’s not stuck in a house being scared anymore,” Katlyn told us, after Child Protective Services reportedly removed Kaiser from Jenelle and husband David Eason’s home in North Carolina on May 10. On May 1, David had admitted to killing the dog of Kaiser’s mom, and the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office and County Animal Control spearheaded a joint investigation into animal cruelty allegations afterwards.

Nathan’s best friend has also seen a noticeable change in Kaiser’s attitude, according to her observations. “I FaceTime with Kaiser often and he’s in such a good place. His demeanor as a little boy has changed so much since being with Nathan. Kaiser is so happy and he even told me he isn’t scared anymore,” Katyln told HollywoodLife, and she had high praise for her longtime friend: “[Nathan has] really been able to take Kaiser out of his shell and change everything that he went through.”

Jenelle also shared a happy video of Kaiser on June 7, who spent the day at the chicken coop on Jenelle and David’s  “The Land.” It’s unclear when the video was filmed, as Jenelle and David are reportedly only allowed “one hour once a week of supervised visits,” a source told E! News. Kaiser’s siblings, Jace, 9, and Ensley, 2, are staying with Jenelle’s mom Barbara Evans.

Linda Fairstein Book Publisher Gives Her the Boot

Breaking News

Linda Fairstein's world continues to crumble ... her book publisher has just kicked her to the curb as the fallout continues, following her portrayal in Netflix's miniseries, "When They See Us."

The Central Park 5 prosecutor will no longer have a relationship with Dutton, which confirmed it had "terminated its relationship" with the best-selling crime novelist. The move comes on the heels of an online push to boycott her publishers and distributors ... after the Netflix series dramatized her role that led to the wrongful conviction of 5 teens for the 1989 rape and beating of a female jogger.

Earlier this week, TMZ reached out to multiple people at both Penguin Random House and its subsidiary, Dutton -- the two publishing companies that peddled her 14 novels -- but they went radio silent. As did Linda's literary agency, ICM Partners. Not a peep.

Fairstein's latest book with Dutton had been "Blood Oath" back in March. Dutton dropping Fairstein's just the latest in a string of moves that led to Fairstein resigning from at least 2 nonprofits as well as from Vassar College.

Glamour Magazine also said it was a mistake to give her the Woman of the Year Award in '93 ... adding they wouldn't do it again. The backlash also included #CancelLindaFairstein all over social media.

AP first reported her termination.

Hailey Baldwin knows how to rock a crop top! We’ve rounded up 12 of the model’s best ab-baring looks.

The temperatures have risen across the United States which means we’re all trying to find ways to cool down. One of the easiest ways to beat the heat is by wearing crop tops. Plenty of our favorite trendsetters have already started cracking out these shorter shirts, including Hailey Baldwin, who never ceases to disappoint us with her killer style. In honor of her amazing ab-baring abilities, we’ve decided to round up some of Hailey’s best crop top looks ever.

The Drop The Mic emcee, 22, practically turned a West Hollywood street into her own personal runway on June 7 when she stepped out rocking a tiny khaki crop top. The shirt basically looked like a tiny version of those shirts your grandfather wears to play golf, so it’s actually incredibly impressive that she made the top look so chic. She paired it with brown high-waisted pants, white sneakers and a black baseball cap for her hangout with a friend at the 40 Love bar.

This isn’t Hailey’s only cropped look, though. Justin Bieber‘s wife flashed her toned abs in a white crop top and jeans when she hosted the Levi’s 501 Day with Heron Preston in Los Angeles on May 18. She topped off her edgy look with a studded leather jacket and open toed heels.

R. Kelly Pleads Not Guilty To New Sex Assault Charges

7:42 AM PT -- The hearing is over. Kelly entered a not guilty plea on the new charges and will be back in court at the end of the month. 

7:13 AM PT -- Kelly has just arrived, flanked by his usual crew as he strutted into the Chi-town courthouse.

R. Kelly is back in a Chicago courthouse for a hearing on the new round of sexual assault and abuse charges he's facing ... and TMZ is streaming live. 

The embattled musician will be present Thursday, along with his attorney, Steven Greenberg, for his arraignment. Greenberg, tells us his client plans to plead not guilty to all 11 charges.

As we reported ... Kelly was hit last week with 11 felonies related to sexual assault and various abuse in Illinois. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office charged him with 5 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, 4 counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault and 2 counts of criminal sexual assault. 

In legal docs, Kelly is accused of forcing contact between his penis and the alleged victim's mouth and committing an act of sexual penetration on a victim listed only as "J.P." The alleged incident occurred in January 2010, when the victim was under the age of 18.

Kelly's crisis manager, Darrell Johnson, had already told us his client denies all accusations and maintains his innocence. Hence, the not guilty plea today.

Thursday's hearing, which is set to begin around 7:30 AM PT, is separate from the 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse Kelly is already facing in Cook County. There are also 3 federal probes underway -- 2 in New York's Eastern and Southern Districts and another in the Northern District of Illinois.

Jennifer Lopez’s daughter Emme not only inherited her mom’s good looks, she also has her vocal talents. Check out the 11-year-old’s duet with JLo on the opening night of her tour. 

Jennifer Lopez brought out a very special guest on the opening night of her It’s My Party: The Live Celebration North American tour — her 11-year-old daughter Emme! The lucky girl has inherited her mom and father Marc Anthony‘s vocal chops and onstage presence when she showed it off June 7 as JLo kicked off her tour at Inglewood, CA’s The Forum. She joined in on a duet of “Limitless”, which is a song that mother and daughter know well, as the triple threat — make that quadruple threat — directed Emme in the song’s music video for the tune from Jen’s last film Second Act.

While JLo, 49, performed classic hits from her catalogue including “If You Had My Love” and Jenny From The Block,” it was this tune that grabbed the audience members hearts….including that of Emme’s mom! She captioned a video of their duet to her Instagram “I can’t take it! #Emme #Limitless #ProudMama #JLoItsMyParty.” The pair dressed identically in gorgeous red ball gowns and even wore their hair in matching long waves.

Orange Is The New Black star Laverne Cox, 47, was one of the VIP’s to snag a ticket to JLo’s tour kickoff and wrote “This brought tears to my eyes last night,” in the comments of the IG video post. Even those who weren’t there couldn’t stop gushing about the mother-daughter duet. “Ohhhhhhh my goodness 😍😍😍😍” Jenna Dewan posted in the comments. But many fans in the stands were just as moved as Laverne. “The moment this happened I CRIED!! It was such a beautiful moment. So happy you had her in the show. She’s so talented I’m SO PROUD😩💖,” one JLo superfan in the stands wrote.

Emme appeared in Jennifer’s directorial debut for the song’s official music when it dropped on Dec. 20, 2018. While it’s gone on to get 6.6 million views in the past seven months, the Instagram video of the mother-daughter duet is closing in on five million views in just five hours since Jennifer posted the video.

Linda Fairstein Her Publishers Aren't Booking It ... Despite CP5 Backlash

EXCLUSIVE

The saying "silence speaks volumes" couldn't be more true for Linda Fairstein and her book publishers, who've signaled where they stand on the uproar against her ... by remaining silent and doing nothing.

Despite a massive amount of backlash and scrutiny that's forced the D.A.'s former lead investigator on the Central Park Five case to resign from boards of directors -- there have been no consequences for her in the publishing world, where she's made a killing.

TMZ has reached out to multiple people at both Penguin Random House and its subsidiary, Dutton -- two publishing companies that have peddled her 14 novels -- but we haven't heard a peep.

An online push to boycott her publishers and distributors erupted when the Netflix series, "When They See Us" -- about the CP5 case -- premiered last Friday.

We've reached out to 6 different people at both PRH and Dutton, including reps from Linda's literary agency, ICM Partners -- but still ... radio silence.

It's interesting ... Fairstein resigned from her leadership positions at nonprofit Safe Horizon as well as from Vassar College after immense outrage over her role in wrongfully prosecuting and securing convictions against the then-teenagers ... which is captured in Netflix's new "When They See Us."

She was even publicly rebuked by Glamour Magazine, which said it was a mistake to give her the Woman of the Year Award in '93 ... adding they wouldn't do it again.

Still, despite all that ... nothing seems to have changed on the book front, which is where the initial outcry began this weekend. You'll recall ... many, many people called for retailers to yank Fairstein's novels from their shelves, which CP5 exoneree Raymond Santana was down with.

Not only is Fairstein still listed as a featured author on the publishers' websites, her books are still for sale at pretty much all of the places that have been selling 'em. Hmmm ...
