Everyone seems to be reacting to the O.J. Simpson death news -- and the White House was no exception ... but their response to his passing is raising eyebrows, at least to some.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed O.J.'s passing Thursday during a press briefing -- but only when she was asked by a reporter ... at which point KJP directly acknowledged it by saying the administration was thinking of the family ... his brood, specifically.

She says, "Our thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. Obviously with his family and loved ones. And I say this, I know that they have asked for some privacy -- and so we're going to respect that."

Ron Goldman's father says he's not focusing on O.J. Simpson today -- instead, he says he's remembering his son, and using today to think about how long he's been gone.

Fred Goldman spoke with People Thursday, hours after news of Simpson's death broke, and he told the outlet he's only thinking about how Ron died nearly 30 years ago ... and, not about how the man acquitted of his murder has finally died.

Goldman says he's focused on all of the pain he's dealt with over the years since his son died ... and, added the only important thing is remembering Ron and Nicole Brown Simpson today.

Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel hit the town for the first time since news broke about one of them getting hitched -- and they're rocking the wedding ring here too.

The sisters left a Mexican restaurant in St. Paul, MN Saturday -- and as they were strolling away, Abby was chatting on the phone ... placing it between their ears while also flashing her diamond engagement ring and wedding band from her 2021 nuptials to Josh Bowling.

As you can see, the ring is actually on Abby's side of their body (the right side) as opposed to Brittany's (the left side). Their left ring finger is bare ... which we suppose makes sense.

Jeezy is now asking for primary custody of his and Jeannie Mai's young daughter amid their divorce ... claiming Jeannie isn't even taking care of their kid herself.

The rapper just filed new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- asking a judge to toss out the current custody and parenting time arrangement he hashed out in mediation with his estranged wife ... and requesting that his daughter be allowed to live with him full-time.

Jeezy says he initially agreed to move to the basement amid their breakup. However, he says Jeannie later moved out of their family home, and took their little girl with her.

Kourtney Kardashian just shared her go-to natural remedy for feeling better -- and it seems her boob juice does just the trick.

The reality star dropped the wellness bomb on her IG Stories Wednesday, revealing she "pounded a glass of breast milk" 'cause she felt sick -- all while flashing a thumbs-up in her selfie to signal the unconventional remedy's a winner.

The rest of the Kardashian clan have latched on to it all, too -- Kim Kardashian famously took a sip of Kourt's milk in a throwback 2013 episode of 'KUWTK,'  saying it tasted like vanilla soy milk in her review.

O.J. Simpson's death might have shocked the world ... but, it didn't come as a surprise to his close friends -- who TMZ has learned came to Las Vegas to say their final farewells.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... those who remained in O.J.'s inner circle flew into Vegas over the last week to see him before he passed. Unclear exactly how many friends, or who showed up, but we're told a handful of people came to Sin City and got to see O.J.

We're told Simpson was communicating just fine and was able to talk with his pals ... but, our sources say they all knew the end was coming, and that this would be their last chance to get some face time.

Ice Spice is dipping her toe into acting ... as the rapper has been cast in Spike Lee's new feature film, where she'll be doing her thing opposite Denzel Washington.

The rapper is set to appear in Spike's reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 thriller "High and Low." However, Ice Spice is only set to have a small role, as her part has been described as more of a cameo than anything.

Still, Ice Spice has already begun filming her portion of the film -- which is an Apple Original Films and A24 collab ... who confirmed production was well underway.

Drake's officially out of all Astroworld lawsuits ... a judge granted a motion for summary judgment, and has dismissed all the claims against him.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ ... a judge in Harris County, Texas heard the arguments and decided to dismiss all claims against Drake with prejudice.

Remember ... Drake was named as a defendant in some lawsuits following the 2021 crowd crush tragedy in Houston -- with plaintiffs alleging that because he took the stage with Travis Scott, they believed he helped incite the crowd into the frenzy.

Chris Brown just released the deluxe edition to his "11:11" album ... and he's doubling down on his beef with Quavo ... with a new fiery shot about the women they've both banged.

On the song "Freak," CB snaps on Quavo with clever punch lines over a super-charged version of Nelly's "Air Force Ones" ... "F****** my old bitches ain't gone make us equal/Sipping that 1942 cause I don't do no Cuervo [Quavo]/Freak bitch she like Casamigos. not the Migos."

Quavo and CB's ex-GF Karrueche Tran have been suspected of casual dating for years -- a clear trigger for the R&B superstar, despite having broken up with the "Claws" actress since 2015. We've seen Chris and Quavo bristle over this in the past, but not as overtly as this.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame acknowledged O.J. Simpson's passing on Thursday with a lengthy statement ... but in it, the org. notably distanced itself from his actions off the field -- remembering the Bills running back for his play only.

The Canton, Ohio establishment released the eulogy just minutes after Simpson's family revealed the ex-NFL star had died earlier this week following a battle with cancer.

The HOF's statement on Simpson's passing was about 500 words long ... and contained no praise -- just facts about his football career only.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard wants her estranged husband, Ryan Anderson, to pony up some dough as they end their marriage ... asking a judge to sign off on alimony for her.

TMZ has obtained Gypsy's divorce docs, and the big takeaway is the fact that she's requesting spousal support from Ryan ... both in the interim and in the long-term. She's also asking that the court deny Ryan spousal support from her end ... arguing he's not entitled to it.

The reason she feels that way ... Gypsy says Ryan is the one responsible for their dissolution of marriage -- therefore, she doesn't believe he's entitled to any cash payments from her.

Brittany Mahomes has debuted a fiery new look ... ditching her classic blonde locks for bright red hair, and she honestly looks like a whole other person.

Patrick Mahomes' wife shared her hair transformation with her followers Wednesday, posting a series of close-up pics to her feed. Brittany was clearly feeling the look -- as she beamed while posing in a black crop top and jeans. She added ... "Feeling spicy."

While it's unclear if BM simply dyed her hair or if she's rocking a wig, -- she credited hairstylist Laura Beth Cabott for the noteworthy new 'do. Laura Beth has worked with Brittany on a number of occasions, including last year's Met Gala and the 2023 ESPYS.

Peru says they've got a 124-year-old dude who's the real oldest guy in the world, and not the 111-year-old British guy who recently nabbed the Guinness World Records title.

The Peruvian government reveals Marcelino Abad Tolentino, a local farmer, was born in 1900 and hit 124 years old on April 5 -- which, if legit, means he's not just blowing out candles, but he's also setting a global record as the oldest man on the planet.

In a statement, officials say they found the senior citizen in the small village of Chaglla back in 2019 and hooked him up with a passport, an ID card and a pension.

Kanye West seems to be trying a bit of a do-over in terms of style with his wife Bianca Censori -- 'cause the two of them were in all-white ... and it's giving Kim Kardashian.

The rapper/producer hit the town in L.A. Wednesday night with BC in town -- with the both of them attending Ty Dolla $ign's birthday bash at the Nice Guy in WeHo ... and of course, everyone was paying attention to what they were wearing, especially Bianca.

As you can see, she was rocking a unique getup ... some kind of dress that had a big slit down the middle and which exposed some cleavage and a bit of her stomach too.

Turning heads at a gathering of the rich and powerful at the White House --- Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos basically said, we got this ... as they arrived for Wednesday night's glitzy state dinner.

The Amazon honcho's fiancée was decked out in a fiery red, corset-style gown -- with a plunging neckline, of course -- as they arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the 200-plus guest event.

Check out this partial list of attendees ... Robert De Niro and Tiffany Chen, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff, Apple CEO Tim Cook, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Kristi Yamaguchi and Antony Blinken.

Nashville bar owner Joey DeGraw's not happy about Morgan Wallen's alleged rooftop bar antics, 'cause while the tossed chair didn't hit anyone ... it could still ding the city's booming nightlife scene.

Joey and his brother, singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw, know all about Nashville's Broadway party scene -- they own one of the strip's hot spots -- and he tells TMZ ... he's annoyed Wallen allegedly chucked a chair from the 6th floor because it could've seriously hurt someone.

JD says he's not worried about Morgan and his drinking -- in fact, he thinks the incident might help his career -- but he is worried about how it might impact tourism on Broadway, Nashville's main attraction attraction.
