Gayle King is dishing on how she got cover ready for her photo shoot with Sports Illustrated ... giving cred to the very company her pal Oprah Winfrey just ditched, at least professionally.

We caught up with Gayle in NYC, where the CBS News anchor shared she never dreamed of being an S.I. Swimsuit cover model ... but hinted she really doesn't hate all the attention that comes with it.

She kinda said it all when she admitted, "I am still floating."

The shocking video of Diddy attacking Cassie changes everything for him, professionally and perhaps legally -- plus, Ben Affleck moves out of his home with J Lo and Caitlin Clark makes her WNBA debut! So, we gotta ask ...

Tyson Fury's a superstar, and his career's been one big fight after another ... but none bigger than Saturday's scrap with Oleksandr Usyk, according to The Gypsy King himself!

35-year-old Fury joined Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs weeknights on FS1) -- along with his 12-year-old son Prince John James -- where he talked about the magnitude of the bout.

"It's definitely up there with the big ones," Fury said, continuing, "The second Wilder fighter when we were both champions, both undefeated, he was 43-0 with 42 KOs. I was 30-0. The Klitschko fight, that was a big one for me. But this is equally as big."

The summer Olympics are right around the corner, and Snoop D.O. Double G is hoping for a perfect 10.0 from you! Show this rap icon what a star he is by scoring the minor chang-izzles in these pict-izzles.

The rapper was in NYC earlier this week and zipped through the crowd while heading to the NBC Upfront at Radio City Music Hall. Of course, he was reppin' team USA but also had some personalized merch in tow.

A day of big stories in Hollywood ... and TMZ's got the best clips to give you the rundown. Check out the best from Friday!

On "TMZ Live," Babcock and Charles analyze the harrowing video showing Diddy assaulting Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway.

Celebs are ripping right into Summer 2024, and these Hollywood hunks have been putting in that WORK ... the proof lies in the pics! Put your celeb knowledge on the line and see how many of these simmering studs you can score!

With months of prep and hittin' it hard in the gym, shredded stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Mario Lopez are abs-olutely ready and waitin' for ya, and the eye candy doesn't stop there ... influencers and TV stars with washboard abs await!

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend seemed eager to take a pic at an event last night -- but one woman is suggesting they booted her crew early just so they could get their own shots.

A new video posted to TikTok seemingly shows the moment that went down at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's 60th Anniversary party Thursday in New York City ... when a few young ladies stepped up to hit some poses in a photo booth that was being used by everyone.

After a few snaps in the clip, you can see and hear John step in -- telling the women he and Chrissy are going to sneak into the booth for a moment of their own ... and the girls beat it.

Public distancing from Diddy is in full swing in the hip hop community as artists watch the brutal footage of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura ... and some are calling for his head.

50 Cent didn't react with his usual jokes this time around, but tossed a sarcastic jab at Diddy's legal counsel for their inevitable defense of their client ... quipping the entire saga gave him "Maury vibes."

The G-Unit rapper previously announced he's putting together his own Diddy documentary ... so, he's not only watching this from his usual vantage point -- as social media troll supreme -- but also as a producer.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann may still be under the same roof -- but are keeping their distance big time ... including coordinating times they can each access their closet.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge laid out a very formal plan that dictates when the estranged exes are both allowed to use their shared closet at their Georgia home ... this as they continue to figure out how to navigate their ongoing divorce.

Per the paperwork ... the former 'RHOA' star has been granted access to their master bedroom closet Monday through Friday, but only between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM.

Roddy Ricch and his ex-girlfriend Alexandra Kiser have reached a custody agreement for their 3-year-old son ... finally putting an end to their parental tug-o-war.

"The Box" rapper will have joint legal custody and is getting physical custody of the kid for a couple days each week from Tuesdays to Thursdays.

He also has to pay Alexandra $8K a month in child support ... on top of their son's private school tuition, medical bills, any special-needs therapy, and additional extracurricular activities.

Charlie Hunnam is reminiscing over his choice to step away from "50 Shades Of Grey" ... saying the decision to leave it behind also probably means he left a lot of cash on the table.

We caught up with the actor at LAX Friday, and when asked about any regrets over walking away from the coveted role of Christian Grey over scheduling conflicts -- something he famously did at the time -- CH actually humored us a bit with a telling response.

Check it out ... you can tell he gets asked about this all the time, but all these years later -- it sounds like he wishes he would've done it, 'cause it would've made for a real fat payday.

An ex-federal prosecutor is weighing in on Diddy's assault video -- and she says while this isn't necessarily a smoking gun in the investigation he's facing, it certainly doesn't help him.

We talked to Katie Cherkasky -- who's had years of experience with these sorts of legal matters -- on "TMZ Live" Friday ... where she declared that the now-viral video, in which Diddy can be seen beating Cassie -- should make him and his camp worried.

Katie says the tape gives credibility to Cassie on multiple fronts -- both in the public eye, but also with the feds who are drilling down into major allegations against Diddy right now.

Warning -- if you're enjoying your Friday supper, ya may wanna put down the quinoa bowl before reading this one.

NBA great Paul Pierce found himself in the hospital on Friday ... after suffering an incredibly gnarly finger injury that resulted in a ton of blood and a few broken bones.

The Boston Celtics legend alerted his fans of his current medical status just minutes ago ... showing him decked out in a gown while in a hospital bed.

Jennifer Lopez liking romance advice online happened organically -- as the relationship coach behind the post has no connection to her, but her inbox is getting flooded regardless.

Lenna Marsak -- who threw up the IG post that J Lo liked Thursday, touching on unhealthy relationships -- tells TMZ ... she definitely doesn't know J Lo personally, noting that they don't even follow each other, but has a sense of how her upload made its way to Jen's feed.

Lenna says the post in question had already been doing well -- in terms of performance and shares -- so it's possible Jenn just stumbled across it on her explore page on IG and liked it.

Dabney Coleman -- an absolute legend in Hollywood best known for his villainous turn in "9 to 5" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The actor's daughter, Quincy Coleman, tells TMZ ... "My Father, Dabney Wharton Coleman, took his last earthly breath peacefully and exquisitely in his home on Thursday May 16th, 2024 at 1:50 PM."

She adds, "My father crafted his time here on earth with a curious mind, a generous heart, and a soul on fire with passion, desire and humor that tickled the funny bone of humanity. As he lived, he moved through this final act of his life with elegance, excellence and mastery."

Melissa Joan Hart feels a lot of regret over introducing a then-underage Britney Spears to her first clubbing experience in the nineties ... something she says she wishes she didn't do.

BS and MJH's friendship began in 1999 when the 'Sabrina' actress appeared in Spears' "(You Drive Me) Crazy" music video, and Britney guested on Melissa's ABC show.

Being 6 years older, Melissa says she felt a sibling-like bond with Britney ... hence why she feels she should've known better than to take her to a nightclub at 17.
