Aaron Rodgers' awesome offseason kept right on rolling on Friday ... as he seemed to have a helluva time at Churchill Downs, smokin' stogies and hanging out with his good pal, Davante Adams!

The New York Jets superstar hit up the venerable race track in Louisville for the Kentucky Oaks one day before the Kentucky Derby went down ... and he looked like he was having a blast.

The three dogs that made a run for it this week in Philadelphia after mauling a man in the street have been partially recovered -- and their owner has been dinged by cops as well.

Philly PD tells TMZ that two of the three pit bulls that were involved in Wednesday's attack were located over the past 24 hours or so ... and that one remains unaccounted for. As it turns out, the 2 pooches who were found actually ended up having injuries on them too.

We're told one of the dogs got picked up by a civilian after the incident and it was returned to the owner -- and cops say it appeared to have a bite wound on its back.

John Leguizamo might not remember Patrick Swayze fondly all these years later -- but he might be pleased to know the feeling was mutual ... so says PS' brother.

According to Sean ... Patrick relayed to him that he found JL to be a difficult person, that he had an attitude and they butted heads a lot on set ... so that part of John's story's confirmed.

Robin Williams really was the nicest guy in Hollywood ... 'cause one of the child stars from "Mrs. Doubtfire" says he stuck up for her ... this after she got expelled as a teen.

Lisa Jakub -- who played one of Robin's onscreen daughters in the 1993 comedy -- stopped by fellow 'Doubtfire' alum Matthew Lawrence's "Brotherly Love Podcast" this week -- where she shared how she was kicked out of school while filming their flick.

She explained she was attending high school in Canada at the time -- but had to be on set to shoot the movie, which meant she'd be out of school for a good while ... an arrangement she says they were cool with at first, until they weren't ... and told her not to come back.

A Black pro-Palestine protester was called "Lizzo" by a group of white counter-protesters during a heated faceoff this week ... and she received racist taunts likening her to a monkey.

The ugly scene went down Thursday at the University of Mississippi -- with both pro-Palestine and pro-Israel factions holding dueling protests right there on the campus, which got heated when a group of bros zeroed in on a Black female on the Palestine side of things.

She was standing there all alone and filming them ... and the men, most of whom were white, could be heard repeatedly insulting her weight -- invoking Lizzo's name to get the point across ... all while calling her a "bitch" and other explicit insults.

Kathy Bates is ready to slide into some stylish shapewear -- saying she'd be happy to star in a campaign for SKIMS ... all Kim Kardashian has to do is make the call!

The actress attended the CBS Fall Schedule Celebration in L.A. Thursday and chatted with People about Kim's turn on "American Horror Story" ... providing a unique perspective since Bates regularly pops up in the anthology series, although she's not in KK's season.

Kathy admits she hasn't watched Kim in 'AHS' yet ... but, the two apparently have a rapport -- 'cause Kathy says Kim sent her SKIMS a few years back and apparently told her she'd put her in an an ad one day. Welp, Kathy's ready to take her up on it, saying she's still waiting!

Britney Spears and her current boyfriend Paul Soliz didn't start fighting Wednesday at the Chateau Marmont hotel on the Sunset Strip ... we're told there's a history of conflict.

Darvin Ham is out of the job -- the Los Angeles Lakers just fired their head coach after two seasons on Friday ... days after the Purple and Gold were booted from the playoffs in the first round.

Rumors of a change on the bench started right after LeBron James and Co. lost to the Denver Nuggets ... with many pointing the finger at Ham's lack of leadership or ability to make adjustments.

It wasn't all bad for Ham -- the team did make a solid run in the playoffs last year ... and won the inaugural In-Season Tournament back in December.

Rachel Zegler just hit the big 2-3 this week -- and while she's looking forward to a new year of life, she notes age 22 was brutal for her ... and a big reason seems to be 'Snow White.'

The actress posted some telling messages to her Instagram Story Thursday night -- which show her posing in a couple different dresses (with the top of her head cropped out) and lengthy captions attached that touch on how rough this past year has been for her.

She writes, "I hope 23 holds a lot less hatred, a lot less being afraid for my safety in public, and a lot more understanding for growing up."

Khloe Kardashian seems open to dipping her toe into the lady pond ... saying as much on social media this week -- or at the very least, strongly suggesting it.

The reality TV star hopped on X this week to let folks know she's keeping her options open when it comes to her sexual preferences -- this after one fan jokingly said she oughta try lesbianism after several high-profile breakups with men. Khloe didn't laugh off the idea, writing ... "Well you never know what my future holds."

BTW, when a different fan replied to her comment with a GIF involving scissors, Khloe responded with a cry-laughing emoji. Again, she's not really shutting down the idea!

Kyle Richards is distancing herself from estranged husband Mauricio Umansky in an whole new way -- she's dropped his last name from at least one social media profile.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star's Instagram account got a noticeable refresh amid her ongoing separation from the real estate mogul .... with the reality TV star changing her name from Kyle Richards Umansky to simply Kyle Richards.

However, Kyle still identifies as a "Mrs," describing herself as a "Mom, wife, actor, author, producer, animal lover, a RHOBH, CAA" in the bio of the account. We know neither of them has filed for divorce, so, "wife" is still accurate.

A man riding an ATV landed in the hospital after a cop intentionally blocked his path on the road -- which forced the guy to crash into the windshield ... and folks are divided.

This happened recently in New Haven, CT -- where a police officer was cruising along a narrow trail at a park that's technically only open to pedestrians ... this after complaints that folks have been driving there illegally, including ATV and off-road vehicles.

As the officer slowly cruises up the road, he passes families and other bystanders walking in the opposite direction ... and a few seconds later, he sees this ATV flying his way.

She added ... "It is disrespectful to her and in turn disrespectful to me. Stop it."

The guy who wrote "Back to the Future" calls BS on a video claiming to have captured a real-life time traveler ... and it boils down to the logistics of breaking the space-time continuum.

Bob Gale -- who penned the scripts to the beloved '80s trilogy -- tells TMZ ... it's time to slam on the DeLorean brakes on Alec Schaal's theory that he caught a dude who actually time-traveled by popping into his shed ... and supposedly emerged way older.

In his (movie) expert opinion ... the logic simply doesn't add up to real time travel, as he's familiar with it, which is why he thinks this whole damn thing is a hoax.
