2:16 PM PT -- It's confirmed, Taylor skipped today's game. Jim Nantz just said, "In case you’re wondering, the seven words i never thought would leave my lips in my career, 'Taylor Swift is not at the game.' There are some broken hearted people I just saw in the stands. She was questionable all week, but it looks like it’s officially inactive for today."

Taylor Swift wasn't about to fly to Minneapolis this weekend to see Travis Kelce play -- which is now obvious in the fact that she's apparently nowhere to be found in the stands.

The Chiefs tight end is playing against the Vikings Sunday, and it's an away game ... so him and his teammates are out in breezy Minnesota here. As the broadcast began, there was no sign of Taylor anywhere -- nor was there any reporting of her being at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Of course, once kickoff got underway ... no cameras panned to her in a private box the way they've been doing for the past couple weeks. In other words, she ain't there, Swfties.

That didn't prevent the announcers from name-dropping TayTay -- they just couldn't help themselves. Once TK was shown walking onto the field, they said his strut resembled that of a "Swift walk" ... and they mentioned her once more a bit later during warmups.

One of the broadcasters said, "There's Travis Kelce, enough of the Taylor Swift talk, ok? this guy is the best tight end in all of football and he's showing up big for his team every week."

That's a little shady -- but by the same token, it reflects what Travis himself has said about all the hubbub ... namely, that it was enough already and the NFL needed to give it a rest.

Many might feel the same ... but the league's been loving all the hype, as have the TV networks that were lucky enough to carry her games. CBS kinda got screwed today ... darn.

Greta Gerwig is already circling her next movie -- but it ain't gonna be a walk in the park the way "Barbie" has been ... if anything, she makes it sound like the exact opposite.

The writer-director made an appearance Sunday at the London Film Festival -- where she went onstage for a sitdown interview with "Succession" creator Jesse Armstrong ... who asked her a bunch of questions, including what she had coming down the pike.

Gerwig didn't get into specifics about what exactly she was working on ... but confirmed she's already in the writing process for another feature, over which she's feeling apprehensive.

She says, "It’s hard and I’m having recurring nightmares." There's no video that's surfaced of her making this comment -- only recaps from outlets that were present -- so there's no real context as to the exact emphasis she placed on this, or what she even really means.

Some have characterized her remarks as feeling dread over re-entering the writing process ... but the quote on its own is a little strange, considering "Barbie" was light-hearted and easy viewing -- not to mention a complete home run crowd pleaser.

What we can surmise is that "Barbie 2" isn't what she's talking about. There's been no word on a green-lit sequel yet -- despite the OG's success -- any inkling of that would've leaked out by now if it was already happening. Then again, the WGA strike did just end -- so ... 🤷🏽‍♂️

Everybody wants a piece of Maluma these days -- but that doesn't mean he wants folks going for a handful of the goods ... evidenced here in this video.

Check out this clip of the Colombian singer that made the rounds this weekend -- it shows him walking through a lower-level crowd during his concert at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Montville, CT ... getting pretty close to adoring fans, and maybe even too close.

As you can see, as people reach out to touch him ... somebody appears to reach for his crotch -- and it looks like they might've even made contact, to Maluma's chagrin.

Right away, he pulls back and kinda swats their hands away ... and gives 'em a little tsk-tsk. Unclear if it's a man or woman who got handsy -- but in any case, Maluma wasn't having it.

This ain't the first time Maluma's had to deal with overzealous fans -- it wasn't that long ago that he had to scold an audience member during a gig ... who threw a phone at him.

Drake's giving a warning to a social media star who's trying to pretend he's the boss of a new rap label, which feels eerily similar to Birdman's ... and which Baby doesn't like at all.

Of course, we're talking about Druski and his "Coulda Been Records" -- a brand he recently launched ... but seemingly just for jokes and content. The dude ran auditions and uploaded a ton of clips showing him denying would-be artists in hilarious fashion.

Thing is ... Birdman himself isn't a fan of what Druski's doing -- and let him know about it in no uncertain terms over an IG Live chat -- warning him he's stepping on Cash Money's toes.

Fast-forward to this weekend ... and Druski's at it again, playing up a sketch/skit where he's brooding over one of Drizzy's new songs ('Daylight') where he raps a bar that Druski apparently wanted to use in one of his own (fake) songs ... "Standin' on business."

Check out Druski's upload ... it's pretty funny. He's fuming over the fact that Drake beat him to the punch -- and captioned his video "Cash Money vs Coulda Been BEEF CONTINUES." Obviously, Dru's kidding here -- the whole thing's a gag -- but Birdman isn't playing.

Baby responded in the comments, "Bro you still playin with a real gangsta SMFH" ... and Drake even chimed in, adding "Stunna bout to have you come up missing on Gladys."

Now, the Internet apparently can't tell if Birdman is being serious or not -- even though Druski obviously isn't -- but based on how Baby's reacting ... something tells us he means it. He posted more photos of Druski on his IG Story after this -- and he sure seems angry.

Remember, this manufactured feud came to a head a few months ago when Birdman confronted Druski about his Coulda Been endeavor -- and Dru tried to calm his down.

Since then, Druski's been leaning into it -- apparently getting a kick over the fact that he's gotten a rise out of Birdman over this whole charade -- and he continues to stir the CMR pot.

Will Ferrell reprised his role as Frank the Tank for a rager this weekend at USC -- only, this time, he was spinning records for the party animals ... and luckily, no streaking after.

The actor was spotted handling music duties at the Sigma Alpha Mu frat house in L.A. Saturday -- and based on the lighting ... it would appear this thing was a pre-game blowout that went down during the day, before kickoff in the evening.

There isn't much context beyond what you see in the clip ... it's WF with his shades on, blasting music from his turntable on a balcony -- with a bunch of college kids around.

Sounds like he was going old school with 'Eye Of the Tiger,' no doubt trying to pump everyone up before the big game against the University of Arizona -- which ended up turning into a nail-biter, going into triple OT and ending with a stunning victory for the Trojans.

As for what the connection is here ... well, Will's a USC alum and a known diehard fan -- has been for years. But more specifically, his 19-year-old son Magnus actually goes to USC right now ... and something tells us he might also be in this fraternity.

Assuming that's the case, you can put two and two together on Will's appearance here.

The homie can do it all for his alma mater ... whether it's in a commencement speech or turning up the student body for a big matchup -- Will's got the Trojans covered on all fronts.

Caitlyn Jenner is on track to spend the rest of her life by herself -- because romance just isn't in the cards for her ... so says CJ herself.

The former Olympian dished about her love life in an interview with The Times -- saying she's not dating right now ... and that she might not even date ever again, 'cause she apparently doesn't see or need that in her future going forward.

Here's her quote ... "I’m fine. I’m not even close to looking for a relationship. I’ll never have a relationship in the future. I just don’t see that in my life. I am not looking for that." Caitlyn adds she's "very single" and quite content with that status at the moment.

As far as loneliness, CJ says she doesn't experience it ... citing her dogs as good enough company -- not to mention her big family, with whom she suggests she's still on good terms with ... saying, "Every night of the week I could go to somebody’s house and have dinner."

Caitlyn ends her thoughts on her romantic life by noting she does a lot to keep herself busy -- hobbies and such -- and that she's simply in her "fun" chapter in life ... while noting other chapters may follow down the road. In other words, she's keeping an open mind.

The last person Caitlyn was rumored to have been involved with was Sophia Hutchins -- but they've since distanced themselves from that speculation ... saying there's no "hanky panky."

Kylie Jenner apparently can't take the heat for supporting Israel, because she posted her support for the country that just endured a 9/11-type terrorist attack, but after some people criticized her she 86'd the post.

Jenner shared a post, "Now and always we stand with the people of Israel SHARE if you stand with the people of Israel as they face one of the most frightening situations in many years. Thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza towards Israelis, hundreds of civilians have been injured and more than 300 murdered, terrorists have infiltrated Israel from Gaza, and there are unconfirmed reports that IDF soldiers have been kidnapped and taken into Gaza."

Some of Jenner's followers started populating her Instagram with photos of Palestinian flags and urged others to unfollow her. Apparently, that was enough for Kylie, because the post was nowhere to be seen on her account an hour later.

Other celebs are standing strong in their support for Israel, including Sarah Silverman, Gal Gadot, Amy Schumer and Jamie Lee Curtis.

There is a full-blown war now, with Hezbollah firing missiles at Israel from Lebanon.

Israel has reacted swiftly to the biggest attack on the country in 50 years, bombing areas of Gaza in retaliation for the Hamas attack that now reportedly killed more than 500 Israelis.

You see people running for cover as buildings collapse after the bombings.

Israel has declared a state of war and is swiftly retaliating for the attack that completely escaped military intel -- both in Israel and the U.S.

This dramatic video shows a reporter doing a live shot in Gaza when a bomb hit ... the sounds from the explosion unnerve her but she toughs it out and continues her reporting.

At the time of the attack, there was a crowded music festival near the Gaza Strip and you see the terror and panic as terrorists launched rockets and opened fire into the crowd

Some of the people at the festival were taken hostage by gunmen. One woman is taken away on a motorcycle as she screams, "Don't kill me! No, no no!"

Dozens, and many more, have reportedly been taken hostage and are now somewhere in the Gaza Strip, making retaliation by the Israeli military problematic. It's likely some of the hostages are in tunnels which house some of the terrorists as well as military and other artillery.

At least 1,500 people were injured in Saturday's attack and both the death toll and toll of those injured is expected to climb.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said, "We are at war," vowed that Hamas "would pay a price it has never known."

The Middle East is a powder keg of violence ... it's unknown if other countries surrounding Israel will join the conflict.

21 Savage took Canada by storm Saturday night at Drake's jam-packed performance -- one day after he was barred from entering the country.

The rapper hit the stage with Drake at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto last evening, marking the first time he was legally permitted to travel outside the United States.

TMZ got video of Drake cutting off some guy holding a mic to announce 21's dramatic arrival onstage. 21 gave Drake a huge hug as the crowd went absolutely wild.

As you know, 21 just got his Green Card after years of haggling in the courts following his 2019 arrest in Georgia that led to drug and gun possession charges.

At the time, 21 was a UK citizen living in the U.S. with an expired visa, putting him in the crosshairs of American immigration authorities.

Fast forward to Friday night. 21 was supposed to be at Drake's side during the concert, but he was denied entry into Canada, although it's not clear why.

Yet, 21 was able to iron out his immigration issues and Canadian officials opened the doors so he could make it to the arena Saturday.

Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny were in a celebratory mood after the Billboard Latin Music Awards ... because dude took home some serious metal!

Bad Bunny won 7 -- count them -- 7 awards, including Artist of the Year at the ceremony Saturday night in Miami.

After the show, BB and KJ hit the town, hitting up Superblue Miami, an art museum, and then capping it off by chowing down at Hometown BBQ Miami.

The 2 have been together for months but made it publicly official last week with their joint Gucci ad, where they left no doubt about their relationship.

TMZ has reported the 2 have been an item since posting that pic of them on a horseback in early April.

Fact is ... they've been joined at the hip since February. They were all over each other at Drake's concert in L.A. back in August.

Kim Zolciak was certainly havin' fun filming her reality show amid her divorce from Kroy Biermann ... hitting it off with Chet Hanks during production in Colombia.

Multiple sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... Kim and Tom Hanks' son were acting flirty toward each other while cameras were rolling in Medellín for MTV's "The Surreal Life."

We're told they really hit things off, with others in the house thinking they might've caught feelings for each other during the 2 weeks of production ... at least, that was the vibe while under the same roof.

It's unclear, however, if Kim and Chet ever exchanged digits before the show came to an end ... and it's unknown if they're staying in touch today, but one thing's for sure -- sparks were flying.

TMZ broke the story, sources told us Kim signed a deal to appear on the 8th season of the reality series ... joining folks like Chet, Johnny Weir, Josie Canseco, Ally Brooke and many more.

She flew back to ATL last week after production wrapped ... and called 911 on Kroy a day later for allegedly snatching her cell phones.

Zak Bagans is exercising his right to scare the crap out of folks at his Haunted Museum ... by bringing in some creepy-ass artifacts from famous exorcisms!!!

The "Ghost Adventures" star tells TMZ ... he recently got his hands on the fabled "Exorcism Box," which was used during the 1970s real-life exorcisms of Anneliese Michel ... whose story is the inspiration behind 2005's "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."

Zak tells us he got the box from filmmaker Christopher Saint Booth, who wanted to get rid of it after a disturbing experience, to put it mildly. While he had the box, Booth says he felt something growing inside him, and a doctor determined the growth contained teeth and stem cells.

Booth says he had an archbishop exorcise the box ... and while doing so, he saw a dark figure dart past him. Booth believes it was Anneliese, who died way back in 1976 following 67 catholic exorcism rites.

Zak says Booth told him the archbishop saw the figure too, which appeared to have Anneliese's face, and it was shaking uncontrollably as if being pushed away from the box by a dark energy. Booth believes the "Exorcism Box" absorbed all the energy from Anneliese's exorcisms.

If that doesn't give you enough chills ... Zak also obtained a copy of the infamous Exorcist Diary, which inspired the 1974 movie "The Exorcist."

There are only 6 copies of the diary, 2 of which remain in a vault at the Vatican. The diary documents a 3-month period of exorcisms on a 13-year-old boy in St. Louis way back in 1949 and includes a map of Hell.

Zak says Booth had the diary while working on a documentary called "The Exorcist File" ... and Booth says he felt very oppressed and suicidal whenever the diary was nearby.

And, get this ... Zak says Booth told him he had the diary with him in a hotel room when he saw a horned, shadowy figure appear just before something scratched his ankle and pulled him out of bed. 😱

Since bringing the items to his Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, Zak says countless guests are refusing to enter the new Exorcism Room Exhibit before they even know what's inside ... with some saying they felt light-headed.

Zak is not new to the exorcism world -- he filmed the 100th episode of "Ghost Adventures" in the house where the notorious St. Louis exorcism was performed.

It's a timely acquisition for Zak with Halloween lurking, and "The Exorcist: Believer" just hitting theaters.

Tyreek Hill swears he was only kidding about wanting to do porn after retiring from the NFL, but the interest he's gotten from the industry is no joke -- TMZ Sports has learned multiple XXX companies want to help Cheetah kick-start his adult film career!!

Remember, Hill let loose on Twitch with Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans last month, revealing how he wanted to stay "busy" when his football days were over ... however, the 29-year-old took back his statement a few days later.

"I was joking, I was definitely joking," Hill said. "That's something I just don't want to do."

Well, if Hill reconsiders, several porn sites tell us they would welcome the Dolphins receiver with open arms.

For example, the folks at Naughty America say their talented ladies Nikki Benz and Richelle Ryan would love to work with the 5'10" Super Bowl champ.

N.A. already brainstormed some ideas as well ... throwing out the possibility of making a porn hologram of Hill as well.

"I am sure he doesn't need any training, and would be able to hold his own!" the studio's spokesperson said. "Lights, camera, action....!"

The Porn Dude is also open to helping Hill "explore a career in the adult industry after his NFL career" ... and xHamster -- which features over 5 million videos for free -- was also excited by his comment.

"Following an illustrious career in professional football, Tyreek Hill is poised to bring his unique talent and charisma to the world of online adult entertainment, and xHamster is eager to be a part of this exciting journey if Mr. Hill chooses our platform for hosting his future content," a rep said.

Mia Thornton's soon-to-be ex-husband, Gordon, is blasting the 'Real Housewife' for ditching him now that he's in financial trouble -- a sure sign, he says, she was gold digging when she said "I do."

Gordon Thornton tells TMZ ... Mia only tied the knot with him because she saw the future his resources could provide her, but now that his funds are inaccessible, she's leaving him in search of an "upgrade."

And, get this ... Gordon tells us he gave the "Real Housewives of the Potomac" star a hall pass for sex, because he knew he wouldn't be able to satisfy her sexually due to his age -- he's 71, and recently had prostate cancer surgery.

Gordon says he thought the hall pass came with an understanding she would be open and honest with him about seeing someone else ... but he claims she's been sneaking around.

What's more, Gordon says she's lying about why she's leaving him, and is constantly changing her story ... so he's aggravated and wishes she would just be honest.

TMZ broke the story ... Gordon was blindsided when Mia filed for legal separation, and he was peeved she made it seem like their relationship was perfect on social media when behind the scenes she was gearing up to serve him court docs.

Gordon tells us Mia's behavior is now starting to affect their children, which is why he's speaking out against her.

Tom Hiddleston's looks over the years are 'Loki' low-key hot!

Here is a 30-year-old version of the devilishly handsome actor, clean-shavin' for the premiere of "Thor" at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood back in 2011 (left). This was his breakout role as the broad-shouldered Loki.

And, 12 years later the Marvel star is still out here grabbing the camera's attention with his flashy smile and sparkly blue eyes -- recently attending a fragrance launch event in his hometown of London, England (right).

Season 2 of "Loki" premiered earlier this week, and clearly, Mr. Hiddleston can still get it, but the question is ...

OhGeesy thinks Sexyy Red has a point when it comes to Donald Trump getting love from the trenches ... hell, he tells us he wouldn't mind getting some of those stimulus checks again!!!

We kicked it with the Shoreline Mafia rapper this week in Bev Hills ... on the heels of Sexyy's dropping her Donald Trump endorsement, her sex tape leak and Drake feature. So, we got his take on all her big headlines.

Like Sexyy, OhGeesy tells us he's all for Trump returning to the White House ... he respects his gangsta, and, of course, that free money is music to his ears.

The ex-Prez has several legal cases pending that might slow his presidential run, but his public support amongst rappers has been mounting. Sexxy, Chief Keef, Benny The Butcher and now OhGeesy have all voiced their support -- and we're assuming Lil Wayne and Kodak Black still have his back too.

As for Sexyy's sex tape leak ... she's denied all responsibility and OhGeesy has a simple solution to keep it from happening again: Don't film your bedroom capers!!!

OhGeesy says Sexyy has the perfect tunes to soundtrack porn, so her career will be fine.
