What's The Big Frigin' Difference?

Don't let these two almost identical images of Drew Barrymore ruffle your feathers! Put your animal instincts to the test as you search for all the sneaky switches in these fowl photos!

The A-list actress -- and host of 'The Drew Barrymore Show' -- was seen out and about in the streets of New York City filming a sketch last month  ... and we have made a few changes to the original poultry pic! Don't be a chicken as you hunt for the differences in these two super similar snaps!

**HINT -- There are THREE differences in the above photographs!**

Andy Cohen 'Legends Only' With Ricki Lake ... I Got My Star, Bitches!!!

TIME TO CELEBRATE!
TMZ.com

Andy Cohen is going all out to celebrate his new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... breaking bread with Ricki Lake and joking about making love to his fellow TV legend.

We got Andy leaving Craig's in WeHo with Ricki, not long after his Friday ceremony on Hollywood Blvd ... and he was over the moon ... and for good reason.

Andy and Ricki make for a power lunch ... and as he put it to our photog ... "legends only, bitches!!!"

It's a huge achievement for Andy ... getting the 2,711th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... and he jokes about making love to Ricki to celebrate ... to which she says, get in line!!!

RECEIVING THE HONOR
TMZ.com

The "TMZ Tour" also got Andy in the middle of his acceptance speech on Sunset Blvd ... and he even broke from his prepared remarks to acknowledge the bus!

It's a super fun interaction all around ... and Andy sounds like he likes the idea of getting a statue too.

Oscar De La Hoya Spends Birthday Handing Out Meals ... To Critically Ill People

AT YOUR SERVICE

Friday is Oscar De La Hoya's 49th birthday, but the Golden Boy did more giving than receiving on his special day ... by preparing and handing out meals to the critically ill.

TMZ Sports has learned ... ODHL and his GF, Holly Sonders, hit up Project Angel Food in L.A. to give back to the community as part of his bday celebration.

The boxing legend and his lady helped by preparing food and packaging them for those who have a high risk of COVID infection or living with COVID.

Check out the footage -- Oscar's meals even have a personalized label featuring his picture and a special message of encouragement for the recipient.

GIVING BACK

Of course, COVID-19 hit close to home for Oscar and Holly -- in fact, De La Hoya was hospitalized for 3 days with the virus ... and was forced to back out of his fight against Vitor Belfort.

Because of his experience, Oscar says he knew he wanted to help out in any way he could.

But, don't worry -- there was also some celebrating going on ... with Oscar cutting up an incredible customized cake to share with everyone.

HBD, Oscar!!

Brian Austin Green Sharna & I Are Having a Baby!!!

Brian Austin Green and GF Sharna Burgess are expecting, and they showed off the bump on the beaches of Hawaii!

The '90210' star and the "Dancing With the Stars" pro were on a beach stroll and looked pretty glowing about their baby news -- or maybe that was just their suntans -- and Brian did the traditional cradling of the bump for photogs.

Anyway, these 2 started dating back in 2020. This will be their first child together.

Brian has 3 kids already with his ex-wife, Megan Fox. They reached a divorce settlement back in October. He also has one other kid from a previous relationship prior to Megan.

A few months later, Megan got engaged to Machine Gun Kelly.

One interesting comparison -- back in 2012, Fox and Green also did a photo shoot for a pregnancy announcement. They did it in a tropical setting, and even had similar poses.

It’s hard to shake the similarity between these photos… maybe just a coincidence?

Regardless, congratulations are in order for the happy couple!

Lamar Odom Shart The Bed 💩 On 'Celebrity Big Brother'

SH***Y SITUATION
CBS
UPDATE

5:35 PM PT -- Lamar is coming all the way clean ... he says it was actually a shart.

UPDATE

LO says he suffers from lactose intolerance and IBS ... which did not pair well with his late-night snack of beef jerky sticks, candy and warm milk.

UPDATE

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

UPDATE

Lamar's having fun with it all ... he's now calling himself "The Big S******."

No dancing, or even sleeping, around it -- Lamar Odom took a dump in his bed, and he's not ashamed to let his housemates ... and the world know it!!!

The bed pooping incident was caught on the live feeds inside the "Celebrity Big Brother" house early Friday morning, but it's comforting to know Lamar headed straight for the showers to wash his behind after, quite literally, s***ing the bed.

As you can see, Lamar is cleaning up in the shower, and even from the other side of the partition Olympic figure skater Mirai Nagasu notices something is up, and asks if he's really scrubbing as vigorously as it sounds.

Lamar cops to the cleanup on aisle 2, and moments later spells it out for Mirai, in no uncertain terms, saying ... "I just took a s*** in my bed."

MAKIN' JOKES
CBS

Naturally, Lamar is already the butt of jokes online... and it sounds like certain phrases are off-limits in the house moving forward.

It's pretty gross ... but at least Lamar cleaned up the bed too. He's definitely owning his 💩.

Kim Kardashian Kanye, Stop Attacking Me ... He Accuses Her of Forcing Drug Test

UPDATE

11:12 AM PT -- Kanye has fired back, posting, "What do you mean by main provider? America saw you try to kid nap my daughter on her birthday by not providing the address You put security on me inside of the house to play with my son then accused me of stealing I had to take a drug test after Chicago’s party cause you accused me of being on drugs." He then accuses one of Kim's close friends and business associate, Tracy Romulus, of manipulating her.

Kim Kardashian has done something she almost never does ... she's gone after Kanye on social media ... this after he attacked her.

Kim is clearly angry over Kanye posting his grievances about Kim posting a short video of her and North West on TikTok.

Kanye responded ... "Since this is my first divorce I need to know what I should do about my daughter being put on TikTok against my will."

KIM & NORTH

Kim has come out swinging, saying, "Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create. As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision -- because it brings her so much happiness."

Kim clearly made a point of saying she's the primary caregiver, which is undeniably the case.

She went on ... "Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye's obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all. From the beginning, I have wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship because it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way."

This is an exception post coming from Kim, and it's what we've been hearing privately for a while now ... Kanye doesn't want this divorce, and he's lashing out at her because he's lost control and can't stop her.

She's also making it clear there have been many other co-parenting issues ... some that haven't surfaced publicly. But she's clearly sick of it. She finishes, "Hopefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably."

In the end, if they can't settle their disagreements over custody, it may end up being decided by a judge in divorce court.

Susan Sarandon I'm Sorry For My Anti-Cop Tweet ... Was 'Deeply Disrespectful'

Susan Sarandon is apologizing for a social media post comparing a funeral for a fallen NYPD officer to fascism ... confessing it was "insensitive and deeply disrespectful."

The actress issued the mea culpa Friday after facing tons of backlash for her Tuesday tweet, when she shared a meme bashing cops with an image of slain NYPD officer Jason Rivera's funeral procession.

Susan says she deeply regrets sharing the meme and claims she reacted quickly without connecting the meme to a police funeral. She says she now realizes "how insensitive and deeply disrespectful it was to make that point at that time."

The image Susan posted -- then deleted -- featured a tweet from podcaster Danny Haiphong with a photo of cops lining NYC streets and the caption, "I'm gonna tell kids this is what fascism looks like."

Further anti-cop sentiment was added to the meme ... "So, if all these cops weren't needed for CRIME that day, doesn't that mean they aren't needed ANY day?" ... but Susan's saying she was just sharing someone else's handiwork.

A bunch of police organizations slammed Susan for the social media post ... as well as a horde of Twitter users.

Now Susan's apologizing to the family of the slain officer "for causing additional pain during their time of grieving."

'Tinder Swindler' Simon Leviev Permanently Banned from Dating App

Simon Leviev, the subject of the new Netflix documentary, "The Tinder Swindler," is banned for life from the app he used to con women, with the company stating the obvious ...  he violated the terms of service.

A rep for Tinder tells TMZ ... not only have they fully terminated his account, but if Simon decides to return to the platform using his name -- or one of his many aliases -- the new account will get an immediate ban as well. They say this has been in place since 2019 when his actions were first made public.

They go on to clarify that the terms he violated were "impersonation" and "asking for money." The rep added, "We have conducted internal investigations and can confirm Simon Leviev is no longer active on Tinder under any of his known aliases."

As the documentary reveals, Simon preyed on women through the app, flashing his "enormous wealth," promoting a lavish, globetrotting lifestyle. He would convince the women he matched with to take out money for him, and make off with millions of dollars.

Cops caught up to Simon in 2019, arresting and deporting him to Israel where he was supposed to serve a lengthy sentence for his crimes -- but 5 months later, he was released. According to the report, he met the criteria for a program aiming to reduce the prison population during the pandemic.

While the documentary ended with a warning of sorts -- stating Simon is still active on Tinder -- the company has dismissed the claim, saying they have verified he is no longer on the app and is urging those that see him pop up on the app to report him to them.

Daymond John 'With Age, Comes Wisdom' ... Old Influencers Making Bank Too!!!

THERE'S MONEY TO BE MADE
TMZ.com

As far as senior influencers, AKA "Granfluencers" go ... Daymond John says it's a new day and age, because there's lots of money to be made on social media and they're taking advantage.

Normally, older folks jumping on a craze is usually a death knell, but the "Shark Tank" star says that's not the case for TikTok, and it totally makes sense seniors are suddenly taking the Internet by storm.

Daymond says users on social platforms tend to believe what more, let's say mature, content creators put out there ... because they have a lot of experience.

Of course, young folks on social media are still making a killing, but Daymond insists, when older people speak, folks will listen -- and if they're having a good time while they do it ... even better.

On top of that, he says don't forget ... older creators, and consumers they're targeting, have spending power on their side.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

This makes sense why influencer squads like 'The Old Gays' -- aged 60 to 70 -- and 75-year-old 'Granddad Frank' have been able to rack up millions of followers on TikTok ... and tens of thousands in cash.

Forget retirement ... social media means the money never stops for some seniors.

Joe Burrow Gifts AFC Title Jersey To Kid Cudi ... 'I Am So Geeked!!!'

The Joe Burrow and Kid Cudi bromance keeps growing stronger ... 'cause the Bengals QB just gifted his childhood idol with the jersey he wore in Sunday's AFC Championship Game!!

Cudi revealed that after Cincy's huge victory on Sunday ... he hit up Joey B and asked if he could have the game-worn threads.

"Ok. So after the Bengals win against the Chiefs, I hit Joe and congratulated him and asked if I could have his jersey," Cudi wrote on social media.

And, Burrow wasted no time holding up on his promise -- shipping it right to the Cleveland native just 5 days after the Bengals secured their spot in the Super Bowl.

"Rockin' this bitch to the game and then framing it," Cudi said Friday. "I am so geeked right now."

Of course, Joe Cool is known for his on-field connection with his teammate Ja'Marr Chase ... but as of late, it's Cudi that Burrow has had all the chemistry with.

Joe got a shoutout from Cudi -- who was celebrating his 38th birthday the night of the game -- after the Bengals big win.

The two have a budding relationship that started when Burrow was drafted with the #1 overall draft pick out of LSU ... and this latest gesture from Joey Franchise is proof of that.

Joe told reporters after advancing to the Super Bowl he listens to Cudi's song "New York Rage Fest" before games ... so don't expect anything different from #9 before facing off against the Los Angeles Rams.

Ken Jeong & Robin Thicke Rudy's Gone, We're Back to Work ... Following Walk-Off Protest

Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong's 'Masked Singer' walkout over Rudy Giuliani being a contestant will not be a long-term protest -- both judges are back on the job, and looking pretty damn happy too.

Ken and Robin joined their fellow judges Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Thursday for a photo shoot to promote the show's upcoming 7th season. The fact they're still all in to hype the show is a great sign they're willing to sweep Giuliani-gate under the rug

As TMZ reported … During the first taping of the season, Donald Trump's former attorney was the first to get kicked off the show, and when he was unmasked to the judges and audience members, Robin and Ken walked right off set -- a clear protest of his participation in the show.

That all went down last week, but Thursday all seemed forgiven during the shoot outside "The Masked Singer" studio.

While there were some complaints when Sarah Palin appeared on the show back in 2020 ... it was nothing as visceral as Ken and Robin storming off the stage.

Well, now Rudy's gone and cooler heads are prevailing. Still, who doesn't wanna see how that moment played out -- and ya gotta wonder who the next reveal is gonna piss off!!!

Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber Yeah, We Park in Handicapped Spots ... Gotta Dodge the Paparazzi!!!

PARKED ILLEGALLY AGAIN
TMZ.com

Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber keep parking their luxury cars in handicap spots at their Pilates class ... and despite criticism that it's illegal and wrong, they persist.

There they are again ... in the vast parking lot attached to a bunch of businesses -- including the Pilates studio Hot Pilates -- and their parking spots of choice are feet from their destination. The problem is -- it's reserved for the disabled.

We've seen them do this repeatedly over the last few weeks, but they continue to park there.

Our Kendall sources say the owner of the Pilates studio asked them to park in the handicapped spaces because their presence was causing a scene with photogs. Problem is -- the studio owner doesn't control the space -- it's for all the businesses in the parking lot.

We're also told on most days, their security teams will move the cars after Kendall and Hailey get into class -- and bring them after. If the cars aren't moved, security stands by and can get them out of the way if needed.

Our Hailey sources say there are other celebs who've been instructed to do the same thing when they're at the gym.

WRONG SPOT!!!

However, the law says there must be handicapped spots and people without placards are not allowed to park there.

L.A. Mayor Garcetti Considering No More Maskless Pics ... Even If I Hold My Breath!!

HOLDING MY BREATH
CBS LA
UPDATE

10:08 AM PT -- 2/4 -- Breaking news!! Eric Garcetti says he will NOT hold his breath and take maskless photos anymore ... if it bothers you so much.

UPDATE

The mayor of Los Angeles held a press conference about the Super Bowl in front of SoFi stadium ... and was asked about his widely mocked explanation for why he violated the L.A. County mask policy.

UPDATE

"If it makes you and everyone else happy, even in the photographs where I'm holding my breath for 2 seconds, I won't even do that," Garcetti said.

UPDATE

During the news conference, the mayor also claimed there was "zero percent chance of infection" when he holds his breath for a photo (follow the science? 😬)

UPDATE

The Mayor of Los Angeles is ripping a page out of Bill Clinton's playbook ... insisting he was holding his breath while posing for pics without a face mask -- and claiming it was totally COVID-safe as a result.

Mayor Eric Garcetti is catching flak for a pic he took at SoFi Stadium on Sunday during the NFC Championship game -- he was smiling big in the shot with Magic Johnson, but not wearing a mask.

He responded to the criticism by telling KCBS, "People want a picture, I hold my breath. Zero risk." Yes, he said that with a straight face.

In other words, "I didn't inhale" ... much like President Clinton famously claimed back in 1992 about smoking marijuana while he was going to college in England.

If Clinton's claim made you chuckle, Garcetti's has to be a full LOL. The reality is, hizzoner the Mayor's hardly the only person who went maskless at the game -- we all know people who've done it.

But, it's yet another example of the apparent hypocrisy from politicians who encourage their citizens to wear masks, while not following the mandates in public.

Speaking of which, Cali's Gov. Gavin Newsom -- ripped for his infamous indoor dining at French Laundry in 2020 -- also took a maskless photo with Magic during the Rams-49ers matchup. No word if he too employed the breathless method.

2022 Olympics Opening Ceremony Takes Center Stage ... In Beijing

The Beijing Olympic Winter Games are officially underway ... kicking off with an elaborate opening ceremony at Beijing National Stadium.

Chinese President Xi Jinping officially declared the games open ... marking the start of the historic sporting event.

The Olympics are being held in China -- across three different time zones -- as various athletes from all over the world compete for medals in 15 different sports.

These games mark the second time China is hosting the Olympics -- they previously held the Summer Games back in 2008 -- and won the bid for the 2022 Winter Games in 2015.

Beijing -- where the games are being played -- is the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

Of course, Team USA will be there ... and is expected to perform well. But, they'll have to do it without the support of their govt. officials -- at least, in person, that is.

President Biden and his administration are imposing a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Games ... due to China's "ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity."

The move from #46 is a deviation from the norm -- it's tradition for the U.S. to send high-profile delegates to represent the country and support America's athletes.

The boycott, however, does not stop the athletes from competing ... and the White House still supports Team USA in their endeavors. In fact, a "record number" of 177 US athletes walked during the opening ceremony, according to CNN.

But, the U.S. ain't alone in protesting the Beijing Olympics -- United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, India, and Taiwan refused to send delegation as well.

J Lo Wearing the Hell Outta Fur & Ben ... He Looks Better on Her 😉

Jennifer Lopez isn't sweating New York City's cold snap -- not while she's draped in a giant fur coat and sticking to Ben Affleck like white on rice! Don't worry, Ben ... she'd choose you over fur.

Right?

J Lo was beaming Thursday after she and BA did dinner at the Polo Bar in NYC, and then scurried into a frigid winter night (just above freezing) that had to have them thinking ... we're not in Bev Hills anymore!

Anyway, the couple still managed to look stupidly hot -- Jennifer in that Coach coat, while Ben went for a black on black on black outfit.

The joy on her face has us thinking: 'Memba last summer when these 2 had just rekindled their romance after 17 years?

They always looked ridiculously happy, and were constantly staring into each other's eyes ... grinning, laughing and smiling???

Well, here we are 7 or so months later ... and ain't a damn thing changed. Good for them.

Kanye West I'm a Novice at Divorce ... So Kim, Why Are You Putting North on TikTok???

Kanye West seems both surprised and upset over parenting issues as he navigates his divorce from Kim Kardashian ... and the latest dispute erupted over a TikTok video.

Kim posted a TikTok video of her and North West lip-syncing a Rae Sremmurd song, and it didn't sit well with Ye ... having his 8-year-old on the social media platform.

KIM & NORTH

He posted, "SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIK TOK AGAINST MY WILL?"

So, let's unpack ... there's obviously tension between Kim and Kanye over childrearing, and this is not the first eruption. As you recall, Kim threw a birthday party for Chicago last month and Kanye was extremely upset, claiming he wasn't invited. Kim begged to differ and told Kanye he was welcome. Ye showed up and thanked everyone BUT Kim.

There might also be a little shade to her when Kanye says it's his first divorce ... because it's Kim's third. Shade, or just inexperience?

Whatever it is ... it's a super relatable conflict. Co-parenting is the trickiest road to navigate post-divorce.

Speaking of divorce ... TMZ broke the story, Kim's asking a judge to restore her single status STAT and leave the property and custody issues for later. That should happen next month.
