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.

Before this cool kid born on Easter Sunday turned into an actor, he was just huggin' on his momma's leg, rockin' the bucket hat and growing up in Wales before hittin' the stage in the early 2000s.

After succeeding in plays like "Rent" and "Miss Saigon", his role in the "Clash of the Titans" remake put him on the map. And, he was definitely fast and furious in 2013.

He recently launched his own clothing line, and given his fit physique -- which he proudly parades on social media -- he's definitely reppin' his brand with pride!

Conjoined twin Abby Hensel did not list her sister, Brittany, as one of her witnesses at her wedding ... something we've now confirmed through an official document.

TMZ has obtained Abby and Josh Bowling's marriage certificate, and it provides some interesting information, including the fact that Brittany Hensel -- who partially shares a body with Abby -- is not on the witness list ... although another Hensel sibling is.

Abby put down her other sister, Morgan, as one of her witnesses ... and somebody named Cosmo Naut is listed as the other witness, presumably offered up from Josh's side.

Dashcam footage capturing the Taiwan earthquake shows just how terrifying it was for those caught in it ... 'cause it sparked a rock slide, which crushed vehicles on the road down below.

Check it out ... you see several cars being pelted with boulders after the 7.4 magnitude quake. The footage kicks off with one driver making his way up a winding road. The driver is heard making concerned noises as an emergency alert sounds, likely a phone.

As the earth shakes ... the cars pull to a stop to wait out the tremble. However, as the video shows, the vehicle in front quickly goes in reverse ... making its way down the road as a massive boulder comes crashing down, making direct contact and a massive impact.

Ex-NFL star Vernon Davis says it's still a mystery as to how exactly his brother, Vontae Davis, died earlier this week ... although he said Monday he believes the former Colts cornerback passed away following a session in a sauna.

The ex-San Francisco 49ers tight end broke his silence on his little bro's death during an interview with The Daily Mail on Wednesday ... just two days after Vontae was found deceased inside a gym at his Southwest Ranches, Fla. home.

Vernon says he believes his brother either collapsed or slipped after spending time soaking in steam -- but outside of that, he really is unsure of how the former NFLer passed at just 35 years old.

Rebel Wilson is once again stirring the pot -- this time taking shots at her talent agency, claiming her team preferred her when she was plus size.

The actress gets into the weighty subject in her new memoir, "Rebel Rising" ... which has already sparked controversy over claims against Sacha Baron Cohen and Adele. Now, she's coming for her agents, saying they preferred her when she was heavier ... as that meant banking "hundreds of thousands of dollars in commission for each film where [she] played the fat funny girl."

According to Rebel, this left her feeling trapped since there was "a multimillion-dollar pigeonhole" over her body size. Remember, she already claimed, while on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, she was contractually obligated not to lose weight while filming the "Pitch Perfect" franchise.

WWE Superstar Chelsea Green has found herself in a bit of a "hot mess" -- the former Women's Tag Team Champion claims she was booted from an NYC hotel this week ... and she believes it's because staffers thought she was an escort.

Green -- who was in town for "Monday Night Raw" -- laid out the shocking allegations on social media on Wednesday ... saying she was trying to have a nice night out in the Big Apple, but her plans were derailed when hotel security singled her out over her appearance.

TMZ Sports spoke to Green ... and she further explained what went down in detail.

James Corden walked away from his "Late Late Show" hosting gig on his own terms ... but people in his native UK just can't quite believe he wasn't fired, at least according to him.

The Brit explained on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Tuesday that despite him assuring people he and his wife Julia moved back across the pond so their 3 kids could be closer to their grandparents, people are convinced he's lying ... and think CBS canned him.

James says he's had his fair share of pub convos about his talk show departure ... and no matter how many times he tries to set the record straight, he says, "People will honestly be like, 'You don't have to give me that bull***. It's fine, mate. If you got fired, you got fired!'"

Travis Kelce's tackling his offseason dad bod head-on ... by taking some solo time away from Taylor Swift, and getting back into the gym with his personal trainer.

TMZ has learned Trav is back training with Laurence Ng -- his longtime trainer and owner of Legendary Performance in Bev Hills -- and if the workout guru's latest Instagram video of TK in action is any indication, it's clear he's already got his head back in the fitness game.

In the vid you can see Travis in an intense training session with Laurence and they ain't skipping leg day! Whether it's on a treadmill, or sprinting up a parking structure ramp ... he's all about running drills to stay fit for the next NFL season.

Diddy's ex, Cassie, has been in touch with the authorities in the federal investigation -- not just that, we're told she's cooperating  ... as are others who've sued him.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Cassie is among the witnesses the feds have been in contact with in connection with the Diddy investigation ... we're told she's been working with investigators for several weeks ... presumably even before Diddy's homes were raided.

Given the timing, it seems Cassie may have helped the feds establish probable cause to get a judge to sign off on the search warrants. Other women, we're told, have also been in contact with federal investigators.

A feisty raccoon crashed into a Pennsylvania theme park last week and caused utter chaos by attacking innocent bystanders -- and TMZ's got video of the whole thing.

The wild critter was looking pretty damn fierce Friday at Hersheypark -- opening day for the year, BTW -- where it terrorized a group of waiting riders who were in line for the SooperDooperLooper coaster  ... even biting a young girl and running off with her shoe!

Check out the clip ... it's pure pandemonium, and yes -- damn scary. Panicked screams are heard amid the frenzy as terrified onlookers scramble to get the hell away from this beast.

Rashee Rice is apologizing for his role in a massive car crash Saturday that left several people injured ... releasing a statement on Wednesday where he said, "I take full responsibility for my part in this matter."

Rice never said what exactly his role was in the accident -- AKA whether or not he was behind the wheel of one of the speeding luxury cars that caused the wreck over the weekend -- but he did say he met with Dallas Police Dept. investigators over it all earlier on Wednesday.

Rice promised to "continue to cooperate" with law enforcement ... before he added, "I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday's accident."

Hollywood is getting ready for Summer -- and they're starting with Spring ... enjoying a little break from the Winter ... and soaking up the sun, which has finally started to pop up.

With Spring Break well underway, it isn't surprising to see some of our favorites working on their respective tans while visiting exotic locales across the globe. For instance, "Selling Sunset" star Emma Hernan proved she's a total babe by rocking a champagne-colored two-piece while on a boat in Cabo.

Emma was joined in Mexico by her fellow 'Sunset' star Chrishell Stause, who cuddled up to her spouse, musician G Flip, in an itty-bitty bikini of her own. The couple -- who wed back in May -- beamed wide while posing on the edge of a boat.

Shannon Sharpe asked GloRilla the question everyone wants to know the answer to -- did her flirtatious shot at NBA superstar Damian Lillard actually work -- but the rapper dodged the query expertly ... and the whole interaction was hilarious.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer peppered the Memphis rapper about the message she sent to Lillard while the two were on Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" show this week.

Initially, Shannon tried to get her to talk about her favorite NBA players ... before he pivoted the convo to her social media post where she said she "wanted" Lillard.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is real busy making up for lost time with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker ... TMZ got all the deets on their Louisiana rendezvous.

GRB linked up with her former flame in NOLA this week -- and we're told the exes did a whole lot more than just getting matching husky tattoos in Cut Off, LA.

Sources close to Gypsy tell TMZ ... Ken flew Sunday from Texas to Louisiana to visit and support his ex amid her separation from Ryan Anderson.

Drake Bell is setting the record straight regarding the child endangerment claims against him from a few years back -- and he basically says it was a case of DMs gone awry.

The former child star went on Tuesday's episode of the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast to explain the whole thing ... the first time he's done so in-depth and in detail from his own perspective. It's interesting ... while he pleaded guilty, he denies any real wrongdoing.

Take a listen ... Drake explains that he had been communicating with someone online that he shouldn't have -- something he says he came to realize a little too late.
