Gilbert Arenas says Ja Morant can move past his two gun incidents and salvage his legacy ... telling TMZ Sports all the young NBA star has to do is follow Kobe Bryant and LeBron James' blueprint and focus on being great.

Morant's on-court success is currently being overshadowed by his off-court issues -- which include his most recent weapon-flashing video that's resulted in a second suspension.

Agent Zero knows a little bit about what the Memphis Grizzlies guard is going through -- in 2010, he was suspended indefinitely by then-NBA Commissioner David Stern for admittedly bringing guns into the Wizards' locker room and having a standoff with his teammate, Javaris Crittenton.

Arenas was hit with a hefty suspension over the whole ordeal ... and he tells us it's something that tarnished how people view his own career, despite all his accomplishments.

"What do you want your legacy to be?" Arenas asked. "I did 99 things right. I did one thing wrong. Everybody remembers the one thing. No matter how many championships, how many scoring titles you win. They're going to remember this moment in this time."

Ultimately, Agent Zero believes Morant needs people in his corner who will hold him accountable and challenges the embroiled point guard to reflect on what he wants to be remembered for when he's no longer in the NBA.

Gil name-dropped Kobe and LeBron as perfect examples of guys who did it the right way ... explaining they sacrificed fun and certain friendships for their love of the game.

Arenas says Ja will have to cut ties with some people in order to get back to being considered superstar status like Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic and more ... but there's no doubt in his mind it can happen.

Gil spent 12 seasons in the NBA and has pivoted to being a media personality in retirement, talking all things hoops on his "Gil's Arena" podcast on the Underground Fantasy Content Network.

With all the "Scheananigans" surrounding the "Vanderpump Rules" stars these days, it's time to take a breather from the "Scandoval" of it all and make things a little lighter and brighter ... Now is YOUR shining moment to take the floor and guess these kids before they were survin' up crispy chickens!

Catch this blue-eyed gent behind the booth ... you won't be seeing him today, but he may be seeing YOU next Tuesday!

This gal loves her tequila, and there's "just something about her" that makes you want to join in on her rage texting.

Owen Wilson needs a new pair of pajamas ... because police say a homeless man got into the actor's house and promptly threw on some of Owen's sleepwear.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the man ended up inside Owen's Santa Monica home Tuesday night, rummaging through the house before slipping into a pair of the actor's pj's.

We're told Owen's assistant came home to discover the intruder, coming face-to-face with the man before they both booked it out of the house in separate directions.

Owen's assistant called Santa Monica PD, and cops rushed over with lights and sirens blaring, setting up a perimeter and nabbing the suspect in a nearby yard, still wearing Owen's duds.

Police say it doesn't appear the man took anything else from the home. The guy was booked on felony burglary.

We're told cops believe the suspect didn't know it was Owen's home.

Matt Healy's looks over the years will rock your sox off!

Here is a 24-year-old version of The 1975 pop-rock singer looking like one hot bad boy in his leather jacket, posing backstage during the Bestival music festival back in 2013 (left). This was the same year his band released their hit song "Robbers."

And, 10 years later, Mr. Healy recently showed his screaming fans just how well he works the mic as he hit the stage with a side-swoop cut and a buttoned-up look for a performance in London, England (right).

It's clear T Swift thinks Matt's looks are "gorgeous," but the question is ...

Underneath this mashed-up photo is a highly acclaimed movie star who's been workin' her tail off since the '90s, and since she's known for performing her own stunts ... don't be surprised if she whoops your butt at this scramble! Are you equipped to take on the challenge?!

24-year-old Daniel Penny, who's been charged in the death of Jordan Neely, is speaking out for the first time since the fatal chokehold on a New York train ... claiming what he did to Neely had nothing to do with the color of his skin.

Penny told New York Post Saturday that he's in no way a white supremacist and that he's just a normal guy that judges people "based on their character" ... this coming after waves of people claim his use of a chokehold on Neely was racially motivated.

He says the slander he's been getting is "comical," adding "I love all cultures. You can tell by my past and all my travels and adventures around the world. I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before this happened.”

Penny says he was coming back to Manhattan from school when the incident occurred, and  believes the footage showing what led up to the 30-year-old's death will prove Neely was the one bringing "terror" to the train -- noting, "I don’t think it’s going to even be controversial."

Tiffany Haddish pulled out all the stops, and drew a ton of celebrity attention, for her first-ever gala ... creating an extremely fun night jam-packed with big names all under the same roof.

The comedian's bash went down at The Beehive in DTLA Friday night, in partnership with her She Ready foundation, an org that helps support foster children.

The star power was second to none -- Paris Hilton was in the DJ booth, Snoop Dogg and Mario took to the mic during the shindig, and Jimmy Kimmel won a painting Tiffany made during her first date with her ex, Common! Not sure where Jimmy's gonna hang that piece of Tiffany's past, though.

That wasn't the only thing auctioned off ... Lil Rel Howery won a trip to the Ashanti Kingdom in Africa, and other peeps in the crowd walked away with stuff like a tour of Jay Leno's massive car garage and dinner at Tiffany's pad -- with her makin' the food!

Donations were flying off the charts, too -- not only did Kimmel donate an extra $25K, but comedian Jo Koy also pitched in the same amount to go towards her foundation. Bert Kreischer also dropped a $25K bomb ... as he ripped off his shirt for the crowd, of course. We're also told that at one point Snoop Dogg said he would donate $20K and then Paris Hilton announced her company 11:11 Media would also donate $20K.

The gala, which ended up raising over $200K Friday night, had a big prom theme, so people were donning corsages and boutonnieres with their fits. There was also a spot to take prom pics and even a "spiked" punch bowl, taking people straight back to senior year.

A spine-chilling new report says Bryan Kohberger broke into a woman's home before the Idaho murders went down ... acting as some sort of creepy crawler, moving her stuff around in an attempt to make her fear for her life.

The bizarre claims came out in the latest episode of NBC's "Dateline," saying Kohberger became friends with a girl at Washington State University, where he was enrolled, just months before the fatal Univ. of Idaho stabbings -- and allegedly snuck into her place and moved her belongings in order to make her feel uneasy in her own home.

The terrifying tactic allegedly worked, because "Dateline" says she asked him to help set up security cameras as a result ... something he could have later checked on remotely after learning her WiFi password.

Former FBI profiler Greg Cooper says this wasn't a friend helping another friend with security detail -- saying he "orchestrated it so that she would come to him and that he would be able to help her. It is another level of power and domination and control over another person.”

For those unaware, the new report comes on the heels of Kohberger's recent indictment regarding the November deaths of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle.

New body cam footage showed Kohberger at WSU about a month before the murders ... but he appeared cool-headed and respectful as he talked his way out of a ticket.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are clearly lovin' their vacation together ... so much, in fact, that he gave her a nice pat on the rear as they stepped onto dry land for some lunch!

The Amazon bigwig and his boo were spotted in the South of France Saturday, taking some time away from his $500M superyacht to get some grub at Plage Keller in Antibes. We're told as Jeff helped Lauren into the spot, he gave her a playful smack on the butt!

The 2 were all smiles as they strolled into the restaurant together, clearly havin' a blast while in full vacay mode.

As we reported, the happy couple's been enjoying their time out in Europe on Jeff's half-a-bil yacht, dubbed the Koru ... soaking in the sun together on the new vessel's maiden voyage.

There was also discussion on whether or not the ship's busty figurehead was made to look exactly like Lauren ... but folks online have been debating if it really resembles her.

BTW -- Jeff and Lauren are now just a 30-minute drive from Cannes ... unclear if they just happened to move the vacation towards the big festival as a coincidence, or if they're planning on making an appearance before it wraps next week.

One would think Jay-Z and Beyoncé would be living it up in their new $200 million Malibu estate -- the most expensive home sale in California history --- but nothing could be further from the truth.

In fact, the power couple was thousands of miles away in London Friday night after news surfaced about their massive house purchase, which bested the previous record of $177 million in the Golden State.

Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ, which show Jay and Bey dressed to the nines as they leave Harry's Bar in Mayfair with their security in tow. We're told they climbed inside a Viano box van and were driven back to their hotel.

Our sources say the A-listers had dinner at Harry's with billionaire entrepreneur Nassef Sawiris and satisfied their taste buds with a "delectable soufflé."

Not a bad way to spend the night ... but it probably would have been cozier inside their mansion fit for a king or a queen or both in their case.

Of course, there's plenty of time for Jay and Bey to enjoy their 30,000-square-foot monstrosity in the heart of Malibu's Paradise Cove area ... aka Billionaires' Row ... overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

TMZ broke the story Friday morning about their eye-popping real estate transaction -- which would have been the largest ever residential purchase in the nation if not for someone having bought an NYC apartment for $238 million.

Still though, Jay and Bey's house is a true architectural masterpiece, created by master builder Tadao Ando, who is also designing the house Kanye West bought in Malibu.

Turns out this is Jay and Bey's second big housing purchase in the Los Angeles area ... back in 2017, the couple plunked down $88 million for a Bel-Air mansion and funneled millions more into the home to push it over the $100 million mark.

Looks like the drama at this year's Cannes Film Festival isn't just on the silver screen ... because the head of the entire event got into a seriously heated spat with a cop over his bike riding outside a hotel.

The Friday night confrontation was caught on camera by French journalist Eric Morillot ... who says the argument quickly turned physical after Cannes Director Thierry Frémaux was zipping around outside the Carlton Hotel, where a good chunk of attendees is staying.

Morillot says the Cannes honcho asked the cop for his name after apparently denying him the spot ... getting more and more heated as the bickering went on -- even threatening to file a complaint.

Of course, all the shouting's happening in French, but tension like that is a universal language. The heat reportedly died down later, with the 2 shaking hands.

For what it's worth, Frémaux announced at the beginning of this festival he'd be riding around on his bike to reduce his carbon footprint ... but it's unclear if he'll be making the switch back to cars now.

As you know, Frémaux's been welcoming the likes of Harrison Ford and Johnny Depp to the festival this year -- with both actors getting standing ovations after their films were shown in front of esteemed audiences.

Martin Scorsese is the latest to touch down in France ... bringing "Killers of the Flower Moon" to the festival Saturday -- and the cast joined him, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Jesse Plemmons.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle say all they want is their privacy, but they reportedly chose to have photogs snap their photos before the now infamous "chase" in NYC.

Sources tell the NY Post ... Harry and Meghan elected to stroll out in front of a throng of shutterbugs to get their pictures taken after they attended Tuesday night's awards ceremony at the Ziegfeld Theater in Manhattan.

The Post noted the couple made the decision despite having one of Barack Obama's former secret service agents on their security team. Chris Sanchez is the security dude's name and he's known as the “king of the back exits” ... because he's so good at keeping celebs under the paparazzi's radar.

After getting their fill of the cameras, Harry and Meghan jumped inside a waiting SUV with Sanchez and took off.

The Post quotes a source as saying, “Harry and Meghan were willing to give everyone those shots when they left the event, that was not the problem, but they were tailed from that point on."

Their rep, Ashley Hansen, gushed over the photos, telling the New York Times, “They were some of the most beautiful images of the evening."

This is just the latest example of Harry and Meghan wanting it both ways ... soaking up the limelight while demanding privacy ... at least that's the rap.

Following their photo op outside the Ziegfeld, we all know what happened then ... the paparazzi pursued Harry and Meghan through the streets of Manhattan in what the couple called a "near catastrophic car chase."

Former music exec Lance 'Un' Rivera is clearing the air about his stabbing 24 years ago, saying Jay-Z absolutely did not do it ... and he insists prosecutors got it wrong when they nailed the rapper for the crime.

Rivera, best known for his affiliation with Notorious B.I.G., sat down with "Vlad TV" ... and got candid about the highly-publicized stabbing, for which Jay ended up getting 3 years probation just as his career was blowing up.

Rivera says Jay was in the nightclub on that fateful night, but he's not the one who stabbed him in the back with a large blade -- and adds, everyone knows Jay wouldn't have done something like that. However, he's not saying who actually did it.

This all goes back to December 2, 1999, when Rivera was stabbed leaving a release party for Q-Tip's Album "Amplified." He says Jay and other members of Roc-A-Fella Records approached him and accused him of leaking Hov's "Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter" album.

Witnesses reportedly identified Jay as the stabber, and although he turned himself in to NYPD for questioning, he maintained his innocence.

He was arrested for felony assault charges, and after a 2-year-long legal battle, finally pled guilty in 2001.

Although he avoided prison time, Jay couldn't leave NY state during his 3 years of probation -- a major career hurdle, as it happened after the success of his Grammy-winning '98 album "Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life."

There's always been debate about what actually went down ... with Nas notably stating on his track, "Ether," that Jay-Z took the fall for a friend.

Matt Healy is learning ... when you're Taylor Swift's boyfriend, it's virtually impossible to escape the limelight.

The 1975 frontman found that out recently ... he was caught on video dashing up a flight of stairs at Taylor's Manhattan townhouse with what appeared to be an overnight bag gripped tightly in his hand.

When Matt got to the entrance, a man -- presumably a security guard -- threw open the front door. Matt zipped inside, heading through the lobby as the guard shut the door and followed.

The video started to spread on social media Friday, but it was purportedly shot Thursday night by a mysterious shutterbug. It's clear that Matt was trying to be inconspicuous as he rushed inside Taylor's building, but obviously it didn't work.

Safe to say, though, Matt was probably not sweatin' it given the fact he's dating the biggest pop star in the world. This kinda thing just goes with the territory.

As we reported, Matt and Taylor became an item after Taylor called it quits with her longtime boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn, in April. Since then, the two have been almost inseparable with Matt accompanying Taylor on her Eras Tour to cheer her on as she performs.

Matt has also spent some time with Taylor's dad, Scott Swift, at one of her recent concerts in Philadelphia. The couple have also been on a double date with friends and recording in the music studio together.

"Selling Sunset" star Chrishell Stause and G Flip walked down the aisle in Las Vegas and appeared to tie the knot, but they're NOT married ... at least in the eyes of the law.

It's been more than a week since Chrishell and the 29-year-old Australian musician strongly hinted at their marital status with a social media post showing what appeared to be a Vegas wedding ... but we did some digging and there's still no marriage records for the couple in Clark County, Nevada.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... despite rampant online speculation, Chrishell and G Flip are NOT legally married.

However, our sources say Chrishell and G Flip plan to have an official wedding ceremony somewhere down the line.

Chrishell and G, who is non-binary, have been together for over a year ... first revealing their romance last May during the "Selling Sunset" reunion special.

A customer lost his s*** and totally trashed a Chipotle Mexican Grill in D.C. -- and it was all because his tacos weren't made fast enough!!!

Fox 5 in Washington D.C. obtained surveillance video of the food fight, which starts off with the man standing at the counter waiting for an employee to prepare his food after he ordered the tacos.

It doesn't take long for him to go completely bonkers. He reaches over a glass partition and scoops up a pile of lettuce and other ingredients and hurls them at the worker, who ducks for cover in a room behind the counter.

But the unruly patron isn't done yet. He picks up a stack of trays, bags and napkins and throws them across the room. He even grabs a computer monitor and tosses it.

According to a police report, obtained by Fox Business, the man became furious simply because the worker failed -- in his view -- to serve the tacos at a more rapid pace.

After making the mess, the suspect jumped on a scooter and drove off.

The Metropolitan Police Department has launched an investigation and is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the man's arrest.
