Kevin Costner was determined to give Whitney Houston a proper sendoff after her death ... and nothing was going to get in his way, not even a major TV network.

The actor recalled his "The Bodyguard" costar's 2012 funeral during an appearance on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast, revealing an unfortunate moment he had while preparing for his friend's farewell.

Costner, who was one of 8 people to speak at the singer's funeral, was asked ahead of the ceremony to shorten his speech ... so CNN and other networks could air commercials during the broadcast.

Trina McGee says she's ready to welcome a new baby into the world at the ripe age of 54 -- something her one-time costar Maitland Ward is stoked to hear ... but a bit wary of too.

Of course, the thing that caught everyone by surprise is the fact Trina's in her 50s ... something that Maitland noticed as well, and which she's somewhat incredulous about.

Angel Reese was not on the floor for the last couple minutes of the Sky's game Tuesday night ... and it's all 'cause a ref booted her from the action for bickering over a call.

The Chicago star's spat with the game official happened with 2:31 left in the fourth quarter of the Sky's tilt with the New York Liberty at Wintrust Arena.

The 22-year-old was whistled for a personal foul ... and she made it clear immediately she didn't agree with the call. She appeared to hurl some words at the ref -- before waving him off in disgust. However, after she made the motion with her hand, the official quickly called her for two technical fouls, and threw her out of the game.

Kim Kardashian took a page out of North West's playbook and dressed up as her daughter's character in "The Lion King," while upsetting some of her fans for allegedly trying to steal the spotlight.

Joined by her dentist, Dr. Kevin Sands, on her "misSPELLING" podcast, the actress confessed her fear of the dentist left her teeth in such bad shape they practically turned to garbage -- and it got so bad she couldn't even smile anymore.

To hammer it home, she asked Sands just how bad her teeth were -- and he didn't hold back, saying, "Disgusting, to say the least. They were chipped, discolored. Didn't look like the Tori I used to know."

"American Horror Story" fans went berserk when she shared a steamy kiss with Kim Kardashian.

Massiel Taveras is still fuming at the security guard who tussled with her at the Cannes Film Festival ... telling TMZ the woman needs to take her butt to church, or at least open a Bible.

We got the Dominican actress Tuesday in Los Angeles and our photog asked her about her incident with the Cannes security guard -- which, as we all saw, got a little testy ... not to mention handsy.

Lady Gaga does not have a bun in the oven -- even though a lot of people thought she did based on some pics of her that went around this week ... over which she's clearing the air.

The singer hopped on TikTok Tuesday to address all the speculation, which kicked into high gear after some paparazzi photos of her at her sister's wedding over the weekend were shopped to media outlets ... where she appeared to have some extra belly action going on.

Obviously, something like that is a little sensitive -- but some felt she definitely looked pregnant ... but now, Gaga herself is coming out to deny that, saying it just ain't true.
