Kris Jenner looked ready to walk down the aisle as she was heading to the Met Gala -- rocking a getup that basically screamed wifey-to-be ... with Corey Gamble close behind.

Check out this video we got of the iconic momager leaving her hotel in NYC and heading on over to the Met -- where a parade of celebs have already made their entrance ... and which Kris and Corey were happy to arrive a tad bit late for. Always save the best for last!

It was certainly worth the wait ... 'cause Kris looked absolutely stunning in her white gown. And yes, like we said, it's giving "Here Comes the Bride" getting into her ride ... a sprinter.

LIVING UP TO THE HYPE
TMZ.com

Let's kick things off with 'TMZ Live,' where Charles and Babcock talked about the roast seen-round-the-world -- and it came courtesy of none other than Tom Brady himself, the GOAT.

Safe to say ... he took some slings and arrows, but a lot of other folks caught strays as well.

Mark On 'Parks And Recreation' 'Memba Him?!

American actor Paul Schneider was in his early 30's when he first started playing Mark -- the self-centered architect who juggles multiple women at a time -- on the political satire sitcom "Parks And Recreation" back in 2009.

Schneider was part of an ensemble cast including Amy Poehler as the intelligent deputy director, Leslie Knope, Rashida Jones playing the friendly and awkward nurse and Leslies's bestie, Anne Perkins and Aubrey Plaza as the assistant who enjoys booze and music, April Ludgate.

Paul was also in the 2007 Western Film "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" with Brad Pitt.

Guess what he looks like now!

Katy Perry Takes the Met Gala By the Storm ... Or At Least the AI Version

Katy Perry is NOT at this year's Met Gala -- but the internet certainly thought she was for a moment, and it's all thanks to that tricky AI ... which cranked some very real-looking shots.

Photos of the singer that purported to place her at the high-fashion event started circulating Monday -- with a couple of X users randomly throwing these shots into the mix ... and hoping no one would notice they were totally fake.

Well, for a little while ... their plan worked, 'cause folks recirculated the images -- which seemed to picture KP in a couple different floral-esque outfits. Eventually, folks caught on.

THE BRUTAL BEATDOWN
TMZ.com

A brutal assault of a man on the streets of L.A. was caught on camera this week -- and as shocking as the footage is ... what's even more surprising is that no one's been arrested.

TMZ has obtained video that captured this horrific incident early Monday morning -- around 2:00 AM PT, we're told -- where two different parties were facing off on Hollywood Blvd. ... and where one guy who was squaring up (wearing a hat) got pepper sprayed badly.

Unclear what exactly led up to this, but as you can see ... a larger man is hovering on the outskirts of the action, and as the dude in the hat gets riled up, he blasts him in the face.

2024 Met Gala All The Must-See Looks From Fashion's Biggest Night!!!

The biggest night in fashion is underway and the biggest names from around the world are ready to climb the iconic Metropolitan Museum Of Art stairs ... and they all look wide awake!

Vogue's EIC Anna Wintour spared no expense to create an eye-popping exhibit in NYC, with this year's theme being 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.' And, it looks like the celebs didn't skimp on the style either, nor were they dozing off as they made an entrance.

Peep the stars who've already shown up -- you had the likes of Bad Bunny, Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth and Jennifer Lopez show up bright and early to lead the charge ... fitting, since they're the A-list co-chairs of the shindig. Ashely Graham dropped in and made a splash too.

Kim Kardashian Mercilessly Booed & Skewered ... At Tom Brady Roast😳

Kim Kardashian was the butt of a lot of jokes at a roast that was supposed to be all about Tom Brady -- with a not-so-welcome reception too ... but, in fairness, she took it in stride.

The reality star was one of many of celebs on hand Sunday night for Netflix's "The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady" -- and when she was eventually introduced by Kevin Hart and co. to come up to the podium to say a few words ... people didn't seem happy to see her.

Aaron Hernandez Ex-Fiancée Slams Brady Roast Jokes ... 'Such a Cruel World'

Aaron Hernandez ended up being referenced at least a couple different times during Tom Brady's roast -- and not in a flattering way either ... which is why his ex-fiancée is pissed.

The late Patriots star's partner Shayanna Jenkins -- who's also the mother of his only child -- tells TMZ she's disappointed in the fact that her deceased fiancé was the butt of multiple jokes during the Netflix program ... which ended up making light of his sad story.

She says, "It’s sad that I’m trying to raise my children in such a cruel world."

Britney Spears Denies Having 'Breakdown' ... Posts Bizarre Horse Video

Britney Spears
THANK YOU COWBOY

Britney Spears is denying she had a "breakdown" at a big hotel in L.A. last week -- but her foot is in fact jacked up ... all of which is quite unrelated to whatever it is she just posted.

The pop star posted a new video (and caption) Monday which brought up last week's ugly incident at the Chateau Marmont ... where paramedics came out after an apparent ruckus in Britney's room, and where she was photographed walking out looking a bit out of sorts.

Beyoncé Shows Off Peach in Leather Chaps ... 'Cowboy' Promo Rolls On!!!

Beyoncé is still on her victory lap after her newest album -- and still very much in promo mode ... evident in the fact she's giving the people what they want ... leather booty shots.

The pop star posted new pics to Instagram Sunday -- and while the Met Gala might be top of mind for many in the fashion world today ... Bey made a fashion statement of her own here, rocking leather chaps with her ass on display thanks to a thong bodysuit underneath.

It seems Beyoncé was going for the American icon look, 'cause her caption invoked Lady Liberty herself -- writing, "Going to tell my grandkids this was the Statue of Liberty."

TALK TO HIGHER-UPS
TMZ.com

Tiffany Haddish unloaded on campus protesters across the country who are speaking out about the war in the Middle East -- and she's doubling down ... offering up other solutions.

The comedian was in NYC Monday, where we caught her in the street for a quick stop-and-chat -- and Tiffany expanded on her thoughts from this weekend ... where she was filmed at a Netflix Is a Joke event discussing the ongoing demonstrations at universities everywhere.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

If you didn't see that ... well, her remarks are pretty interesting -- 'cause she basically telegraphed her true feelings about all these protesters and their disruptive methods.

Jeff Ross TB12 Wasn't Really Mad at Me ... Just Protecting Mr. Kraft!!!

Jeff Ross appeared to get scolded (for realsies) by Tom Brady at his Netflix roast after Robert Kraft became the butt of a joke ... but as it turns out, it was really no big deal at all.

The legendary comedian -- and bona fide roast master -- went on the Rich Eisen Show Monday to talk shop about the big event from the weekend ... where TB12 sat down and took a ton of darts from a lot of people, who made cracks at his expense.

Of course, Jeff got up there as well and fired away too ... but he ended taking a dig at Mr. Kraft in what some considered quite crude fashion. In the moment, Tom appeared pissed.

Jennifer Lopez Arrives Solo to Met Gala ... Ben Hanging Back, Filming in L.A.

Jennifer Lopez just showed up to the Met Gala -- and while she was rolling solo ... we know it's only because Ben Affleck is hard at work on the West Coast, where he's on set.

The actress/singer made a big entrance Monday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC -- where fashion's biggest night is underway ... and where J Lo, a co-chair for the event, rolled up by herself, without her hubby by her side.

No need to panic though -- not only was Jen wearing a wedding band on that finger ... but we've learned there's a perfectly good explanation -- the dude is literally filming right now.

WE NEED A KNOCKOUT
TMZ.com

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's historic battle is over, with K. Dot emerging victorious, so says a large consensus of the hip-hop community -- but DJ Akademiks says a comeback is still possible.

The #1 rap media maven joined us Monday on "TMZ Live," and explained why he doesn't feel Drake bowed out, or exited stage left ... despite that being the takeaway many spectators got from his latest track "The Heart Part 6."

Ak agrees with the majority, though, that Kendrick has the edge -- but he saluted Drake for responding to the pedophile allegations Kendrick made against him in "Not Like Us."
