The 47-year-old put down $600K on Dan Hurley's squad to win the NCAA tourney just before March Madness kicked off last month ... and at the time, he said he was a bit worried -- as Connecticut was nearly everyone's pick to win it all.

The vast majority of FCC complaints made during and after Super Bowl LVIII had to do with a pro-Israel ad that ran ... and it appears to have been planned that way.

Per the docs, hundreds complaints were filed ... and a handful of them were about the usual -- indecent exposure, risqué outfits, language, etc. And a fair amount even complained about showing celebs ... including Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, Usher and others who were in the house.

Ricky Martin embraced la vida loca at Madonna's concert this weekend -- and he seemed to be a happy camper too during one part of the show ... pitching a tent in his pants.

The singer got swept up in Madge's "Vogue" segment during her Miami "Celebration" tour stop Sunday, where Ricky was the featured celeb guest and judging the dancers next to the main talent ... and at one point during the sexy dance, Ricky appears to have gotten aroused.

Harvey and Charles break down country star Morgan Wallen's arrest for throwing a chair off a downtown Nashville bar's roof on "TMZ Live."

Before this suave boy crossing his arms for a photo turned into a Reality TV star, he was just running cross country, hanging around at his family's swimming pool and heading off to study business at the University of Southern California.

His days as an athlete definitely prepped him for his time on "Dancing With The Stars," however the true test of endurance was his years and years on reality television ... When he's not working on his line of socks, you can catch him in Calabasas taking care of his daughter.

Billy Dee Williams made his stance on actors in blackface clear ... saying he's all good with it, 'cause acting is acting -- and an actor should be able to do what they want in their craft.

The 'Star Wars' alum dished his thoughts on this during Sunday's episode of "Club Random" with Bill Maher -- this as he praised Laurence Olivier's performance in 1965's "Othello" ... in which the late star, who was white, wore blackface to play the titular lead.

Billy said Olivier's performance left him laughing out loud, because LO was lambasting stereotypes associated with Black folks -- and he says he found it humorous as opposed to offensive.

The moment police say Morgan Wallen hurled a chair off a rooftop bar in Nashville is captured on multiple surveillance cameras -- and TMZ has one angle of the incident.

This footage, captured from street level outside the Chief's Bar in downtown Nashville, shows the chair flying over the rooftop ledge ... 6 stories above busy Broadway. From this angle, we can't see who threw the chair, but cops say witnesses and videos inside the bar confirm it was the country superstar.

The moment the chair goes over happens very quickly ... but you can see it does so with a lot of force, so it wasn't just tipped over the side or anything -- it was straight-up chucked.

Bianca Censori seems to be telegraphing a positive message about safe sex -- that is, if you see what we see with her latest outfit ... which looks very latex-y, if you catch our drift.

The ex-architect was out with Kanye West Sunday -- grabbing dinner at Bacari in Silver Lake, CA ... and stepping out afterward in this little number, which once again made a bold fashion statement. As you can see, she's in a see-through dress -- and yes, she appears to be naked underneath.

Nothing new there, per se, but what is eye-popping this time around is what exactly she's wrapped in -- on its face, it resembles a plastic shower curtain ... or, realistically, a condom.

Kourtney Kardashian is loving her body at any size, and she's proving it with a new bikini pic, and a message about embracing her postpartum physique.

She said, "During pregnancy as we are glowing and growing, postpartum as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find hardest as our bodies are still adjusting."

Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons' 21-year-old daughter is dating a 65-year-old guy -- with whom she's on vacation right now -- but Papa Bear isn't trippin', or so it seems.

The couple is out in St. Barts right now -- and shots of them smooching have gone viral ... not to mention invoking the wrath of social media, but Russell says he's not stressing it.

MG says, "One time, I got into a bit of a sticky situation where it kind of ended my career. I was drunk in the back of a police car and I said some stupid s**t, and all of a sudden: blacklisted. I’m the poster boy for canceled."

Comedian Jerrod Carmichael's joke about race-based role-playing with his white boyfriend isn't getting as many laughs as it is raised eyebrows and anger.

The controversial quip came on HBO's "Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show" ... where JC says, "I sometimes joke to him that our relationship is like that of a slave and a master's son ... who, like, teaches me how to read by candlelight."

Just that opening line drew some jeers, but Jerrod pressed on, "Yeah, he groans too 'cause he's a good person. He doesn't like that f***ing joke. I like that joke. That's my burden, I think that s***'s hilarious!!'

Suge Knight couldn't be more disappointed with J. Cole waiving the white flag to Kendrick Lamar -- reacting to the brief beef live from his prison cell ... and we got the recording.
