Chef Stuart O'Keeffe is popping off on all the behind-the-scenes drama on Netflix's "Queer Eye" ... especially since he was initially cast to be one of the Fab 5 before production gave him the boot.

We got Stu leaving Pastis in NYC ... and he tells us he's glad he didn't end up being part of the series after the Rolling Stone article unveiled all the mean girl vibes behind the scenes -- which is particularly dicey since the show's all about changing people's lives for the better.

Stu's also questioning how "Queer Eye" can continue shooting another season and convince viewers they're a tight-knit, unified team ready to lend a helping hand. Remember, the expose alleged there was no love lost between the show's leads, Antoni Porowski, Bobby Berk, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown and Tan France.

Al B. Sure! seemed to suggest his coma from a couple years back might be tied to Diddy somehow -- and he's also opening up about where things stand with his son Quincy.

The R&B singer showed face Friday at the Equal Justice Now Awards in L.A. -- where Al was promoting his equal access to healthcare initiative alongside Ben Crump -- and he addressed the crowd at one point ... with a cryptic nod to the Diddy situation going on.

Al says he's working on a filmed project that'll tell his life story ... and in the same breath, he said the public will finally get a chance to see how he really ended up in a coma in 2022.

Even before they were somebody somebunny famous, these egg-stra adorable kiddos were all about Easter, but can you crack open these stars before they were Hollywood big shots?

Hilary Duff, Rachel Bilson and The Kardashian sisters are just a handful of the baby bunnies who loved hopping around on Easter Sunday -- but best of luck figuring out which one is them ... Perhaps after dropping a few easter eggs, you'll be able to identify these kiddos!

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, you've seen these two sisters on Disney Channel, but who are these lil' peeps all dressed up?

The weekend is coming to a close ... so you know we're wrapping things up with some TMZ TV hot takes.

Let's start with "TMZ Live," where Harvey and Charles shared some unexpected shade Billie Eilish seemingly dished out towards Taylor Swift. As discussed, the Oscar winner appeared to take shots at Tay releasing multiple versions of her vinyl recordings ... calling it wasteful.

While she didn't name the "Bad Blood" singer by name ... it was clear Billie was talking about TS.

Hidden under this big-eared celebrity is a Broadway star whose remarks and clapbacks are quick like a bunny! Step aside Roxie Hart, this leading lady is "the name on everyone's lips"!

Yes, she's a former housewife, however she first made her mark on Hollywood during her days on "Melrose Place". And, she capitalized on her famous lips by creating her own beauty line.

She may have posed for Playboy twice, but she's never rocked bunny ears like this!

"These lips were made for talkin' and that's just what they'll do!"

Chance Perdomo -- famous from Amazon's "Gen V" and the Netflix 'Sabrina' show -- has died suddenly in a motorcycle accident.

According to The Wrap, citing the actor's reps, Chance died in a wreck that no one else was harmed in -- they don't provide any other details, including where this happened, when, or under what exact circumstances.

Nonetheless, his team says ... "His passion for the arts and insatiable appetite for life was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth will carry on in those who he loved dearest. We ask to please respect the family’s wish for privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother."

Diddy is out and about in Miami -- and he's even speaking now too ... evidenced in a new clip that an influencer took of the mogul out in the wild, who also captured Stevie J.

Fitness trainer and life coach Wes Watson -- who has more than a million followers on Instagram -- posted a video and a photo on Friday that shows Diddy at a cafe in town called Pura Vida ... and it looks like Puff was in a good mood, flashing a smile and even chatting.

Unclear which location this was at specifically -- there's a zillion of these in the area -- but our bet is that it was one of the ones close to Diddy's homes there on Star Island.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been romantically linked to a lot of famous dudes over the years -- and now, she's letting the public know she handled them all one at a time ... exclusively.

The actress was doing an Ask-Me-Anything Friday -- fielding questions from fans and followers on Instagram ... and somebody asked her if she'd ever considered a "poly" relationship, meaning dating more than one person at a time.

Well, Gwyneth answered that pretty emphatically -- responding, "No thanks!” Paltrow wrote in response, adding, “Not for me but have no judgment. I’m a one man kinda gal."

Matthew Underwood is speaking up on 'Quiet on Set' -- and while he says he himself was never mistreated while working as a child star ... he claims he's been harmed in the industry.

The "Zoey 101" star posted a lengthy statement Friday on his social accounts that addressed why he hadn't said anything publicly about the new doc -- which chronicles different allegations levied by former child stars with the network -- and he explains his rationale.

MU writes, "We all want to live in a better world. That requires all of us to treat each other with empathy and not make assumptions about people’s personal experiences."

Sydney Sweeney seems to be laughing off the notion she's set to star in a movie with Johnny Depp -- but her team was more firm in shooting it down ... 'cause it ain't true.

Film biz insider Jeff Sneider reported Friday that Sydney had been cast in a new movie by director Marc Webb -- who did "500 Days of Summer," the Andrew Garfield 'Spider-Man' movies, etc. -- and the bigger tidbit from his report was that she costars opposite JD.

The movie Sneider said they'd both be in was called "Day Drinker" ... and he said it was being written by Alan Trezza. Sounds like he had all the deets -- however, Sydney's camp straight up denied it ... as did the actress herself.

Ezra Miller's superhero days are over -- at least as far as Amazon Prime animation goes ... 'cause their role in a huge hit show has been recast, and it happened under the radar.

The actor's portrayal of mad scientist D.A. Sinclair on "Invincible" -- in which Ezra only voice acted for one episode in the first season -- has been scrapped in favor of another actor, Eric Bauza ... whose other credits include "X-Men '97," "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and more.

The character showed up again in a new episode this week for Season 2 ... but instead of Ezra's voice, fans heard Eric's instead ... and the switcheroo occurred quietly, it seems.

Beyoncé's new album is a hit on streaming services, including perhaps the most important one out there ... snagging a day-of record for 2024 thus far, pretty darn impressive.

The singer's latest project, "Cowboy Carter," became Spotify's most-streamed album of 2024 in just a single day since its release on Friday ... and the numbers are out of this world. Per streaming data, 'CC' was streamed 76.13 million times since it dropped on Spotify.

That's way higher than what her last album "Renaissance" did on Spotify in just a single day -- about 43 million streams at the time -- and is far and away the biggest release this year.

The 2024 Presidential Election is getting really ugly and nowhere is that more evident than in Donald Trump's new Truth Social post, showing Joe Biden hogtied and restrained in the back of a pickup truck.

The horrific, albeit fake image of the current prez and Democratic presidential nominee was part of a 20-second clip posted Friday to Trump's account on Truth Social -- the platform founded by Trump himself.

The truck labeled "Trump 2024" was rolling down a highway with American flags attached to it and a license plate that read, "Trump4US." Pictured on the back is a photoshopped image of Biden hogtied, made to look like he was in the bed of the truck.

The San Francisco Giants destroyed the San Diego Padres on the field Friday night at Petco Park ... but all the real drama was happening in the stands between a couple of their angry and violent fans.

As the teams were playing in SD, someone pulled out a phone and started recording a woman in a Padres jersey arguing with two guys in Giants shirts standing in the crowd.

Check out this crazy video posted to X ...  the woman got right up in the grills of the two dudes and started pointing at them before telling them, "F*** you!"

Christine Quinn sought out the help of law enforcement this week -- claiming her estranged husband might've tapped her room ... which jibes with what she said in her TRO filing.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... LASD deputies responded to a call Tuesday just before midnight at a West Hollywood hotel -- where the "Selling Sunset" star told them she believed someone was digitally monitoring her room with wires and bugs.

We're told she also expressed fear someone was trying to get her credit card info.

Bill Maher unloaded on the media and others who shamed anyone who dared question COVID restrictions, because he says lots of people who broke from conventional wisdom were right.

The 'Real Time' host says he's sick of people and media excusing their mistakes during the pandemic by saying, "Well, we just didn't know." BM isn't so much challenging them ... he's saying people who questioned some of the restrictions were shamed as "wackos."

For example, Bill says the party line -- that schools should be closed -- turned out to be wrong, because the damage done to kids by keeping them at home may be far worse than the virus itself. Yet anyone who questioned that was dismissed as a right-wing nut.
