Different kind of wake-and-bake for Hunter Biden ... at least that's what his ex-girlfriend claimed on the stand, alleging he'd light up a crack pipe upon waking up in his drug days.

Hunter's ex, Zoe Kestan, testified in court out in Delaware Wednesday in the President's son's federal gun trial ... with her testimony touching on a lot of Hunter's alleged drug habits while they were together years ago.

Zoe testified Hunter's crack use was near constant in private and that he "would want to smoke as soon as he woke up." On the flip side, she also says he was universally liked while out in public ... telling jurors he was "charming."

Adam Levine is making a reality TV comeback ... returning to "The Voice" after several seasons away from the singing competition show.

The Maroon 5 frontman just announced his upcoming return as a coach on the NBC show ... he'll be back for Season 27, premiering next spring -- and in a video announcement he says he's well rested and ready to roll.

It doesn't look like Gypsy herself was there -- the court docket says her attorney showed up on her behalf -- and Johns appeared without an attorney, apparently repping herself.

Jennifer Lopez says she's dismayed by all the negativity in the world -- but the question ... is she referring to current events in 2024, or is this about her personal woes of late?

Jennifer wrote, "Hi everybody, I just found out some great news and it's all because of YOU!! 'ATLAS' is #1 worldwide again this week!!! Thank you all so much!!!"

Kim Kardashian has her fair share of critics ... but she may be her harshest one, giving an honest review of her speaking voice in a sit-down with Chloë Sevigny.

The reality TV icon joined the actress for Variety's "Actors on Actors" series ... which already sparked backlash for including Kim, a relative acting newcomer. Yet, KK seemingly addressed the criticism head-on, poking fun at her infamous vocal fry by describing it as "distinct and annoying."

The remark came about after Kim admitted she was interested in giving accents a try in future acting projects ... as she's set to appear in an untitled legal drama from "American Horror Story" boss Ryan Murphy.

Dirty feet are apparently commonplace in households with Kelces in them ... 'cause just days after Jason Kelce admitted he doesn't wash his feet, Travis Kelce revealed he, too, sometimes showers without soaping up his little piggies!!

The Kelce bros dove into the topic on Wednesday's episode of "New Heights" ... after Jason caused internet uproar earlier in the week when he posted on his X page that his bathing routine doesn't include scrubbing his tootsies.

Jason reiterated on the pod he thinks it's a complete waste of time ... telling Travis, "Who the f*** washes your legs or -- what kind of psychopath washes your feet?"

Ebro gave Martin the floor, asking him if he wanted to clear anything up -- specifically asking him if his health was alright in light of all the chatter. Martin didn't hesitate to clarify here.

The outside world was super critical of Chennedy Carter, but the home fans have her back ... and that was crystal clear in the Sky's return to Chicago, where CC received a rousing ovation in her first game since the controversy!

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.
