It's as reliable as Labor Day itself ... the Malibu Chili Cook-Off draws tons of celebs, and this year was no exception ... even in exceptional heat.

It's part food, part carnival, part gawking at celebs who never fail to show.

Mel Gibson was there with GF Rosalind Ross and son Lars. Madeline Banks from "Outerbanks" showed up with BF Jackson Guthy and some pals.

Brian Austin Green was all about the chili with GF Shana Burgess and their kid, who was secured in a backpack strapped to Brian's chest. Journey, the son he shares with Megan Fox, was also there.

And there's more. Adam Brody and Leighton Meester were front and center with their daughter.

And the Mayor of Malibu -- we just kinda made that up but it fits -- Jamie Foxx was also present. You may recall, we got Tank out this week and he felt Jamie's the one who could save R&B.

Jamie was smart ... no carnival food for him. He took the short drive to Nobu afterward.

A$AP Rocky has a lot of things on his mind these days … but tending to the car he was riding around in with Kanye West and Antonio Brown apparently isn't one of them.

TMZ spotted the '70s classic station wagon getting towed out of an L.A. neighborhood ... at the request of police.

The tow truck guy tells us the car was parked illegally and as you can see on the windshield, it had racked up months worth of citations.

No telling who actually owns the vehicle ... Rocky, Ye and AB shot something -- most likely a music video -- in the wood-paneled Jeep wagon early in 2022.

From the looks of it, that might have been the last time it was washed too!

Let's face it, Rock’s got bigger issues to deal with than parking tickets -- L.A. prosecutors are saying the Harlem-bred rapper was the triggerman in the November 2021 shooting where his former friend A$AP Relli was hit.

He's since been charged with 2 counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and he's also facing an assault and battery lawsuit.

Serena Williams is just incredible, and she proved it again this week, and maybe Chris Rock shoulda left well enough alone. So, we gotta ask ...

Evander Holyfield's gloves from his iconic rematch with Mike Tyson -- where "Iron Mike" infamously bit part of his ear off in one of the most memorable sports moments ever -- are hitting the auction block, and could fetch $100K!

Holyfield wore the gloves during his highly-anticipated second fight with Tyson on June 28, 1997 ... when the two squared off at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The red gloves worn by Holyfield -- one of the greatest fighters in boxing history -- were made by Everlast, and have "Holyfield #1" in black marker on each cuff logo.

The folks at Lelands tell us Holyfield's gloves show "light use" -- which makes sense, considering the bout was called after only three rounds, when Mike chomped into Evander's ear.

Remember, Holyfield defeated Tyson via 7-round TKO the first time they fought in November 1996.

During their second fight, Holyfield once again proved to be getting the better of Tyson, which frustrated the legend ... who bit Evander's ear in the third round.

Referee Mills Lane deducted points from Tyson, before ultimately disqualifying him, ending the contest in dramatic fashion.

Tyson has since explained the reason he bit Holyfield's ear ... saying he was upset Evander was "headbutting the s*** out of [him]" and "ringing my f***ing bell."

Some speculated Tyson pulled the stunt as a way to get out of the fight after Holyfield got the better of him in the early rounds.

The fight may have disappointed boxing fans in the moment, but the night has become part of boxing lore ... and that's why the used gloves could rake in 6-figures.

The gloves have already been bid on 5 times ... with a high mark of $12,155. Look for that figure to go up substantially.

Stars have been hard at work showing off their insane physiques and also squeezing into white swimsuits at the same time ... all before they got cut off from the white after Labor Day style-sacrament that got put back into the fashion world.

Kim Kardashian wins the wet (cropped) t-shirt contest and paired it with white swim bottoms and Kate Hudson showed off her toned derriere in a white two piece thong. And, Camila Cabello gave an all white mood in her crochet suit.

The woman who cops say broke into Why Don't We band member Daniel Seavey's home and slept in his bed might have a jail bunk in her future ... she's facing criminal charges.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the L.A. City Attorney charged a 23-year-old woman named Eissa Amira with two counts of trespassing.

TMZ broke the story ... police say the woman broke into Daniel's L.A. home back in July. Surveillance footage shows the woman pacing outside his front door holding flowers and then climbing through a window.

Daniel's camp claims the woman rummaged through his closet once she was inside, putting on some of his clothes before climbing into his bed and falling asleep.

Surveillance footage from inside the home shows the woman -- in one of Daniel's hoodies -- digging through his cabinets the following morning, listening to "Can I Get It" by Adele.

The woman ended up leaving Daniel's place in handcuffs ... and she was placed on a temporary psych hold.

She's since been released, and Daniel ended up getting court-ordered protection from her, claiming she repeatedly showed up at his gym.

It's quite necessary to be stylish and buttoned-up in front of screaming fans and cameras-galore ... Throw on your 'Maurizio Gucci' aviators to test your eye for fashion, and see if you can spot the tiny alterations in these two shots of Adam Driver.

The 'House of Gucci' actor rocked an all black ensemble, pairing it with his iconic shades at the 'Venice Film Festival,' where he was promoting his newest film 'White Noise.' Can you scuffle your way through the crowd and pick out the changes in these images?

Serena Williams -- the greatest woman to ever step foot on a tennis court -- has played the last match of her career ... after losing in the third round of the U.S. Open.

Friday's matchup was an epic thriller ... with her opponent, Ajla Tomljanović, taking the first set, 7-5, but Serena bouncing back in the second with a 7-6 (7-4) comeback.

Unfortunately for Williams, the magic ended there -- she fell 6-1 to Tomljanović in the third.

Serena was emotional in her final post-match interview ... tearing up as she thanked her parents for their leadership so early in her career.

Williams says she wouldn't be Serena "if there weren't Venus" ... giving a special tribute to her sister

The GOAT also thanked her fans ... saying, "It's been a fun ride. It's been the most incredible ride and journey I've ever been on in my life." Serena seemingly kept the door open on a return to the court ... saying it's possible she could compete again.

It was a monumental run for the 23 Grand Slam winner -- with celebs like Tiger Woods, Russell Wilson and Ciara, Spike Lee, Zendaya, Mike Tyson and more showing up for support.

Williams finishes her career with seven Australian Open victories and seven Wimbledon titles.

Serena also won the U.S. Open tourney six times ... and the French Open three times.

Williams has been the #1 ranked women's player for a large part of her career.

Williams is one of the the most influential tennis player to ever live ... and it was evident in the praise she received throughout her last dance.

Camila Morrone seems to be ready to move on with her life as a single woman following her split from Leonardo DiCaprio ... cause she's apparently already moved into a new apartment.

The model/actress was spotted Friday in Malibu moving into a new place. For the most part, she seemingly kept it cool with a neutral facial expression as friends and movers helped her get furniture and belongings into her apartment.

As you may know, Leo and Camila recently called it quits after 4 years of dating, though it's still not clear what may have led to the breakup. The two began dating back in 2017 and in 2020 they spent a great deal of time together during quarantine.

Meanwhile, the "Wolf of Wall Street" star has been spending some quality time with friends in the big apple. Last week, he was seen for the first time since they reportedly split ... grabbing some Italian food with his crew.

Z-Ro’s recent scuffle with Trae Tha Truth’s team left a stain on 50 Cent’s Houston Tycoon after the brawl exploded outside a celebrity basketball game ... and footage from the brawl shows TTT was very much involved.

The newly obtained video by TMZ Hip Hop shows the Houston activist delivering blows after previously denying his former friend and collaborator was outnumbered in the fight.

Trae can be seen in the orange ABN shirt as he attacks Z-Ro, and the rest of his team kicks and punches away. Another member of Trae’s team also appears to secure Z-Ro’s gold chain in the melee.

The Houston rapper previously denied outnumbering his former friend in an Instagram PSA, citing his big heart … but the footage tells a different story.

Following the event, Z-Ro spoke to TMZ Hip Hop, detailing how he was tricked into having a conversation on the side of a sprinter van, before being ambushed and assaulted.

The two rappers have a long, rough history ... and the breakup is tearing longtime fans apart.

Jane Fonda has a lot of people rooting for her, after just revealing she's been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

The 84-year-old Hollywood legend made the announcement Friday, saying she's already started chemo treatments, and that she feels very lucky, as it's treatable and about 80% of people diagnosed survive.

In true and incredible Jane fashion, she also took a moment to bring awareness on the importance of health care and as an advocate for it to be affordable to everyone, saying, "Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and far too many don’t have access to the quality health care I am receiving and this is not right."

Jane says she'll be doing chemo for 6 months, and is handling the treatments quite well ... letting everyone know she won't let the diagnosis interfere with her climate activism.

She says, "We also need to be talking much more not just about cures but about causes so we can eliminate them. For example, people need to know that fossil fuels cause cancer. So do pesticides, many of which are fossil fuel-based, like mine."

Continuing, "We’re living through the most consequential time in human history because what we do or don’t do right now will determine what kind of future there will be and I will not allow cancer to keep me from doing all I can, using every tool in my toolbox and that very much includes continuing to build this Fire Drill Fridays community and finding new ways to use our collective strength to make change."

She finishes with a call to action, "The midterms are looming, and they are beyond consequential so you can count on me to be right there together with you as we grow our army of climate champions."

Britney Spears is clearly thankful to Elton John for launching her name to the top of the charts once again ... gifting him personalized rocket-inspired salt and pepper shakers!

Elton thanked Britney on Twitter, Friday, for the special gift. He wrote, "Thank you @britneyspears for the fabulous rocket salt and pepper shakers!! 🚀🚀David and I love them ❤️❤️ #HoldMeCloser🚀".

The rocket shakers seem to be symbolic in more ways than one. Their hit song "Hold Me Closer" is a reimagining of the Rocket Man's classic “Tiny Dancer” ... and the song has really taken off. It appears they're from Asprey London, and retail around $6,450.

As we told you, Britney and Elton teamed up to release Britney's first project since the termination of her conservatorship in 2021.

It skyrocketed on the streaming charts and hit #1 in more than 40 countries shortly after it dropped.

Elton John previously said, "I'm thrilled with the response to Hold Me Closer. I wanted to do a fun, happy summer track so was ecstatic when Britney Spears agreed to be a part of it! She truly is an icon, one of the all-time great pop stars & I love her dearly. I hope you all love it!"

And, the fans definitely do! Lots of folks on social media are already begging for more music and BS was invited to the MTV VMAs -- although she couldn't make it.

Timothee Chalamet is no stranger to making bold wardrobe choices ... and his latest outfit has done just that, sending social media into a frenzy.

Timothee stepped out Friday for The Venice Film Festival's red carpet premiere of his new romantic horror film, "Bones & All", directed by Luca Guadagnino ... but, it's not just the movie that has people talking, it's Chalamet's red get-up.

The design is a backless/halter top style ... and while some on social media are dragging him with sexist comments, most are eating it up.

One user wrote, "I love #TimotheeChalamet's bold fashion choices and how he's unafraid to go against the grain. Clothes have no gender. Soft fabrics and bright colors doesn't turn someone into the opposite gender. If someone identifies as a man and wears a dress, he's still man."

Another user playfully commented, "yassified mr. krabs".

In one of the dumbest moves we've seen made by a person freaking out as they were kicked off a plane, a chemical engineer has now been fired from his job after announcing where he works to the entire flight.

The incident, which happened Tuesday night on a flight scheduled from Philly to Dallas, included the man seen in the video going off on passengers and flight attendants.

Shockingly, and maybe sarcastically, the man exclaims he's racist because he's a white male with a black bag which he states is, "a better bag than most of y'all can afford." But, he wasn't done yet ... admitting he was a little intoxicated.

Then things take a turn, the man starts hurling homophobic slurs ... calling everyone on the flight "liberal f******."

However, just before exiting the plane -- the man let everyone know he was a chemical engineer with pharmaceutical and biotechnology company GlaxoSmithKline.

We reached out to GSK, who tell us, "We immediately conducted an investigation and as of Thursday, he is no longer employed at GSK. The person’s remarks were reprehensible and do not reflect our company culture."

GSK takes it a step further, saying, "At GSK, diversity, equity and inclusion is embraced and celebrated and we are committed in policy, principle and practice to maintaining an environment which prohibits discriminatory behavior and provides equal opportunity for all persons."

As for what caused the freakout, one person on social media claimed the now-former chemical engineer was bothering a woman sitting next to him. We don't yet know his name.

A Florida man has been arrested for what cops are describing as a sick obsession with school shootings and killing animals after he allegedly placed several on a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Parkland school shooting.

Detectives from the Broward County Sheriff's Office say Robert Mondragon is responsible for leaving a dead duck (with its chest cut open), raccoon and opossum at the MSD Memorial Garden over the span of 11 days last month.

Cops say once they discovered Mondragon was allegedly behind the disgusting display, they were able to locate his vehicle July 31 and pulled him over for tinted windows.

Officers say inside Mondragon's car was bird feathers and blood, and he allegedly told the deputy he had a dead bird in his car because he likes "the metal and blood smells that emit from the dead animal."

Detectives say their investigation into Mondragon further revealed photos of dead animals on his phone and text messages as well as Internet searches about school shootings.

What's more ... cops say his shocking face tattoos resemble those of Tate Langdon from "American Horror Story" -- a character based on Columbine.

Not only that, detectives claim two weeks before the end of this past school year, "Mondragon walked the path the MSD school shooter (Nikolas Cruz) took from the high school to Walmart on Feb. 14, 2018."

Cruz is currently in a sentencing trial for killing 17 people when he opened fire at MSD High School.

Suzanne Baum claims a pair of shorts ordered online not only came apparently used, but with a giant skid mark on them as well ... and now she's demanding answers from the seller.

Baum, a news personality and lifestyle editor, says her 21-year-old ordered a pair of shorts from online fashion hub ASOS ... but when opening the plastic wrap around the clothing, there was a foul odor of crap.

Suzanne says to her horror, and in a pic she posted, there wan't just a smell of poop -- but an apparent stain as well -- she says the whole thing left her fam, "utterly gobsmacked/retching/in shock!"

What's more, Baum says she tried for days to get in touch with someone over at the company, but has only gotten automated messages.

She felt the best way to get the company's attention was through posting on Instagram ... and the pic is now going viral.
