50 Cent has been hyping up his Diddy documentary for months, and he wasn't trolling his archenemy, as the project just landed a prestigious new home ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Fifty's multi-part documentary about the sexual assault allegations against Diddy was purchased by Netflix.

We're told there was a massive bidding war over the doc, which was produced through 50's G-Unit Film and Television Studios, with multiple networks and all of the streaming platforms attempting to land the series.

NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. going all Mike Tyson on Kyle Busch at the All-Star Race just set him back financially -- he was just fined $75K for his involvement in this past weekend's wild brawl.

The racing organization handed down the punishment on Wednesday ... saying not only will RSJ have to write out a hefty check, but his dad was suspended indefinitely for his role in the scrap as well.

As we previously reported, the two drivers confronted each other after Sunday's event ... with Stenhouse pissed after Busch seemingly caused him to wreck on purpose at the beginning of the race.

A New Zealand man thought it would be a brilliant idea to body slam a killer whale -- but the stunt was not only dumb but also seriously irresponsible, and he's now paying the price.

Check out the clip -- the man goes full WWE ... launching himself off a boat near the coast of Auckland and landing inches from an adult orca and its calf.

As you can see ... the 50-year-old daredevil, who hasn't been identified, yells out in delight he touched the orca and eagerly asks his boatmates if they caught his wild encounter on camera.

The video showing Diddy's hotel assault of Cassie isn't only fueling public outrage -- high-ranking NYC politicians want him to suffer one immediate consequence ... TMZ has learned.

Leaders in Diddy's hometown are turning on him, with several NYC council members encouraging Mayor Eric Adams to revoke the Bad Boy Records founder's symbolic key to the city.

Council Member Sandy Nurse tells TMZ … "Mayor Adams should immediately revoke Diddy’s key to the city. As an abuser, Diddy lost his right to have such an honor and should be held accountable for his actions. Mayor Adams should set the example and take it away."

Chef Andrew Zimmern is slamming the food industry for creating Ozempic-friendly meals ... as processed foods are largely to blame for America's obesity epidemic.

We caught up with the celebrity chef Tuesday at LAX, where he made it clear he isn't against people using weight loss medications -- but finds it "about as messed up as it gets" that businesses are capitalizing on the situation.

As more and more Americans get on board with weight loss meds like Ozempic or Wegovy, the "Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations" host says .. "I think the really sad truth is we're gonna have more processed food that costs $5 or less to go with your very expensive injectable."

*NSYNC has major music labels poking around to produce a new single or album, amid talks of a possible reunion stadium tour ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the band, which hasn't released a stand-alone *NSYNC single since 2002, has been receiving calls from multiple music labels like Warner Music and Universal Music that are eager to learn about the band's current status.

We're told the guys could find themselves in the middle of another bidding war -- this time with the labels possibly wanting a new single or album from the group.

Travis Hunter's a Colorado Buffalo, but he now drives a RAM ... and TMZ Sports has learned it features some crazy modifications!!!

The college football star landed the truck as a surprise present from his fiancée, Leanna, for his 21st birthday earlier this month ... and Dreamworks Motorsports honcho Adam Wolfe tells us it's a "1-of-1" ride.

Wolfe says he and his team spent about a week tricking it out for Deion Sanders' two-way player ... giving it all kinds of bells and whistles before sending it off to the receiver/cornerback for his big cake day.

Another big day of stories ... and we've got the best clips from our shows to catch you up. Check out the hottest takes from Tuesday.

First up on "TMZ Live", Harvey and Charles break down Elvis' granddaughter, Riley Keough, fighting the foreclosure sale of Graceland.

American actress Elisa Donovan was in her early 20s when she played the hilariously snobby role of Amber -- the mean popular high school girl who loves fashion -- in the teen comedy movie "Clueless" back in 1995.

Joining Elisa included Alicia Silverstone as the sweet, pretty and popular Beverly Hills gal, Cher, Paul Rudd as Cher's former step-brother who ambitiously wants to become an environmental lawyer, Josh, and Brittany Murphy as the nerdy, new girl to attend Bronson Alcott High School.

Elisa reprised her role in the television series also titled "Clueless" in 1996-1999.

Cops have arrested two suspects allegedly involved in the biker brawl that left actor Ian Ziering seriously rattled … police have confirmed.

The LAPD shared the update Tuesday evening, saying the officers arrested Jacob Esteban Hernandez, a 20-year-old male resident of Rosemead, and Angie Teresa Guizar, a 40-year-old female resident of Los Angeles.

Hernandez was booked for felony vandalism, and Guizar was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. Authorities credited videos taken of the incident as key pieces of evidence in their investigation … noting the footage helped officers identify the suspects.

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett isn't holding back, still ... she's putting the House Oversight Committee Chairman in checkmate after she clashed with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over their physical appearances.

Speaking to TMZ Tuesday, Jasmine says she's lost hope for MTG, who hurled the "fake eyelashes" jab that set off last week's epic Congressional spat -- but as for Chairman James Comer's call not to boot Greene ... she's taking major offense to that.

JC says she's all about following the rules in Congress and expects her fellow legislators to do the same -- which is why she was disappointed to find out Rep. Comer was sticking by his decision to give Greene a pass.

Teresa Giudice's daughter Milania is recovering after getting into a nasty car accident, but the same can't be said for her brand new Mercedes that got smashed up in New Jersey.

According to new police documents obtained by TMZ ... Milania was involved in the crash on Friday when her luxury convertible collided with another car in Boonton, NJ.

The report says there was some disagreement on the scene about who was to blame for the wreck ... with Milania claiming the other driver ran a stop sign, slowly traveled through an intersection and hit her car.

LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets are at the center of a new lawsuit filed in North Carolina ... after a woman claims her 11-year-old son tried to get an autograph from the NBA star, but was left with a bad injury instead.

The alleged incident went down on October 7 after the Hornets were beaten by the Boston Celtics at Spectrum Center in Charlotte ... when Angell Joseph waited near the player exit, hoping to get a moment with the 22-year-old hooper.

Instead of stopping and signing for the young fan, Angell's mom, Tamaria McRae, says LaMelo just drove off ... and in the process, ran over her son's foot, breaking it.

Diddy is facing yet another lawsuit filed by a former model who claims the disgraced mogul enticed her with promises of career advancement, but she claims his plan was far more sinister.

Crystal McKinney claims in the suit, obtained by TMZ, in 2003 -- when she was 22 -- she was invited to a Men's Fashion Week event at Cipriani Downtown in NYC. She met Combs at the event and he invited her back to his studio.

She says shortly after their arrival, Combs and several colleagues were drinking Hennessy and passing around joints. She took a hit, which she said was "very powerful," and felt as if she was floating. She claims the joint had been laced with a narcotic or other drug.

One lucky Elvis Presley fan's gonna need more than a hope and a prayer to get his personal Bible, they'll need a lotta money, too, as it's about to go up on the auction block.

GWS Auctions already has one bid at $30k, and will open up the live auction starting May 25. The Bible has "Elvis Aaron Presley" embossed in gold, and is chock-full of bookmarked pages and underlined passages that hit home for the singer.

The Bible is accompanied by a handwritten letter from Elvis' cousin, Patsy Presley ... and according to the auction house the book was 1 of 3 found by her and Elvis' dad when they were packing up his stuff shortly after he passed.

They say this particular one up for auction was found in Elvis' nightstand.

Kelly Rowland's not the life of the party at the Cannes Film Festival ... in fact, the way she's waving her finger, seems she's downright pissed about something going on at a big glitzy event.

The Destiny's Child alum was strolling in Tuesday for the premiere of "Marcello Mio," rocking a striking blonde bob and a bold red dress -- looking very celebratory, but photographers captured several less than thrilled looks on Kelly's face as she had a heated exchange with a security guard.

Check it out ... the staffer's seemed to be trying to calm the situation by reaching out toward Kelly's arm to guide her into the event, and away from hundreds of onlookers.
