Gypsy Rose Blanchard's setting the record straight on all the rumors swirling about her recent hangouts with ex-fiancé, Ken Urker ... hopping on a TikTok Live with the guy to clear the air.

During an interview Wednesday, the duo made it crystal clear there's no romantic relationship between them and no intimacy -- they say they're just 2 friends reconnecting and making up for lost time despite their history as lovers.

Gypsy also wasted no time shutting down pregnancy rumors ... saying there's no baby on board, especially since she's on birth control.

Scott and Fanatics honcho Michael Rubin arrived at LSU's bookstore around midnight ... and according to the former 76ers owner, there were thousands of fans lined up almost half the day in preparation for the launch party.

One diehard was even waited 12 hours ... and Scott showed him love by autographing his arm!!

There's a new Bigfoot movie coming out -- an indie comedy, in fact -- and one of the stars says he and his castmates had to learn how to become one with the missing link on camera.

We talked to Christophe Zajac-Denek Wednesday at LAX and asked all about this new film he's in called "Sasquatch Sunset" -- which has been a big hit in the festival circuit, and which is supposed to be a moving depiction of what life might be like for a Bigfoot family.

Christophe explains what went into the process of immersing themselves as bigfoots -- including what he calls a "sasquatch boot camp," where they learned vocalizations, walking techniques and lots of other wild behavior that might be attributed to a real sasquatch.

Stephen Colbert was choked up as he mourned the loss of his longtime executive assistant, Amy Cole.

The heartbreaking news came at the end of Monday's episode of 'The Late Show' ... and you can see Stephen struggling to talk, and looking somber as he walked off stage before a black title card popped up, saying, "Dedicated to our dear friend Amy Cole, 1970-2024."

LateNighter reports audience members who were at the taping mentioned the show started with the usual fun and games. But then, out of nowhere, things took a serious turn.

Joe Rogan crapped on "The View" after his latest guest came on and recounted what he felt was a bad experience on the show -- and he had some choice words for the ladies there.

The comedian/podcaster hosted Coleman Hughes on 'JRE' Wednesday, and they were recapping his appearance on "The View" from last week ... in which Coleman got into a testy exchange with Sunny Hostin over the topic of race and color blindness.

CH -- who has a book that argues that society needs to focus less on race and more so on class and socioeconomic status -- says he believes Sunny unfairly attacked him.

KISS just sold their entire music catalog -- not to mention their entire image -- to a company that puts on hologram shows for legendary music acts ... and they did it for a pretty penny.

The iconic rock band struck a deal with Pophouse Entertainment, selling off not only their music but their name and likeness for upwards of $300 million, per reports. BTW, this is the same company they were already set to do a full digital avatar residency with.

Pophouse is also the same company that's been doing those hologram ABBA shows -- and like we said, KISS is already teaming up with them anyway ... so this move makes sense.

No sex is being had at Tiger Woods' house -- at least, not recently -- 'cause a friend says the golfing legend has given up intercourse in order to make sure he's completely focused on getting ready for the Masters.

One of the golfing legend's buddies made the revelation to the New York Post this week ... telling the outlet The Big Cat is training for Augusta National this year like a madman.

"He's working really hard in the gym," the unidentified friend said, according to the Post. "He's eating right. He's even eliminated sex."

Jerrod Carmichael doesn't think much of Dave Chappelle -- claiming the guy's full of himself ... even alleging he demanded a public apology after Jerrod criticized his trans jokes.

The comedian did a new interview with Esquire this week, in which he reflected on his spat with Dave a couple years back in the wake of DC's Netflix special "The Closer" ... which was criticized as being anti-trans, something Jerrod himself weighed in on at the time.

During an interview from back then, Jerrod had tried offering Dave constructive criticism -- suggesting that his legacy had been marred by his leaning into making fun of trans folks.

Alan Ritchson is opening up about his dark past, admitting that he once attempted suicide after being repeatedly sexually assaulted -- but his sons saved him.

The "Reacher" actor recently sat down with the Hollywood Reporter and gave a wide-ranging interview that included his shocking confession that he tried to hang himself.

Ritchson told the outlet that, in 2019, he went to the attic of his California home and climbed up to the top of a loft, tossing one end of an extension cord over the rafters and securing it.

Anna Paquin made her return to the red carpet Wednesday night after a long absence from the public eye due to a mysterious health crisis – and she was using a walking cane.

Still, the Oscar-winning actress looked like a million bucks in her all-black, form-fitting dress -- while propped up by her cane at the Crosby Street Hotel in Manhattan.

Anna posed for photos next to hubby Stephen Moyer -- also decked out in all-black  -- at the opening of their new film, "A Bit Of Light." Moyer directed the movie starring Anna who plays Ella -- an alcoholic trying to stay sober.

A woman had a cartoonish meltdown on a Spirit Airlines flight -- and while cops were trying to remove her ... she tried invoking the name of George Floyd.

This video is making the rounds online, which captures an incident on a Spirit plane from March 23 -- which seems to have been in the process of taking off from Vegas. Unclear what happened that led to the ruckus, but right from the get-go in the clip ... cops are on hand.

You can see the police put one handcuff on her as the woman protests, and when they tell her she's under arrest -- she says that's fine ... noting she's "been there before."

The ongoing Diddy legal saga is getting the documentary treatment, and it's gonna happen several times with several companies ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple industry sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... producers at various production companies in Hollywood and the UK have been scrambling to put together long-form documentary films covering Diddy's drama -- everything from the civil lawsuits to the federal raids.

We're told the outreach to ramp up production for most of the docs began immediately after the raids in L.A. and Miami -- which isn't surprising, as the feds' execution of search warrants happened on live TV ... making it more of a national spectacle, and prompting folks to pay close attention to all the fallout.

Michael Jackson's production company wants to block Wade Robson and James Safechuck from getting to his criminal file, 'cause they believe they're fishing for shots of his junk.

In new court docs obtained by TMZ ... the King of Pop's companies asked for Wade and James' requests to access the police records on MJ be thrown out -- as they believe the two men are clearly aiming at getting pics of the late star's genitalia.

As we’ve reported, Wade and James -- both of whom have accused MJ of sexually molesting them as children -- are suing Michael's corporations, alleging the singer's staffers are responsible for essentially allowing his alleged abuse of them.

A couple of big names in country music aren't just embracing Beyoncé's new album, they also think it's a tipping point for the genre ... which is why Chris Young's inviting her to get in-studio with him.

We caught up with Chris in NYC, and he told us he loves Bey's "Cowboy Carter" album -- especially Dolly Parton's intro on the new "Jolene" rendition. As he put it, Beyoncé's venture into the country scene proves the industry's more welcoming now than before.

Showing off some of that southern hospitality, Chris says ... "Tell [Beyoncé] I'm here for her."

Sorry, Big3 fans ... WNBA coach Stephanie White believes you will NOT see Caitlin Clark in the 3-on-3 league this year -- this despite the obvious temptation of Ice Cube's $5 MILLION offer.

The Connecticut Sun head coach told Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live" on Wednesday she feels the legacy Clark can build in the WNBA will ultimately trump the Big3's cash when it comes time to make a decision.

Of course, Clark has yet to mull everything -- she said last week she wants to wait until Iowa's run in the NCAA tournament comes to an end before she chooses her next move.

Celebrate hump day with some hot takes brought to you by the TMZ team.

Let's kick things off with "TMZ Live," where Harvey and Charles break down the rumors surrounding Diddy and Ciroc ... and the belief 50 Cent is being brought in to replace the Bad Boy Records founder.
