Pro-Palestinian protesters had a hot take of their own on Kamala Harris, Ray J is taking tons of credit for the Kim K sex tape and Delonte West is in trouble ... and the TMZ crew has hot takes on all three.

Over on "TMZ Live" Harvey and Charles break down the off-air protest that interrupted Kamala's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel's talk show.

Growing up in Barranquilla, Columbia ... Before this cheeky girl with her hand on her hip turned into a super star, she was just writing poetry at four years old, busting out her singing skills and dancing on tables!

Her 2001 hit was such a banger you could listen to it whenever, wherever! As an adult, her performances have proven time and time again ... her "Hips Don't Lie" and her Super Bowl performance with Jenny from the Block did NOT disappoint!

She's collaborated with other big names like Cardi B and Beyoncé!

Zooey Deschanel is usually acting her ass off on camera -- but to cap off the month of May ... she was singing her ass off instead, and doing a damn good job too.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ, that shows the "New Girl" star at an art gallery/wine bar in Wilmington, NC two Sundays ago ... where we're told she and some colleagues rented the space for a good old-fashioned karaoke sesh.

As you can see, Zooey was on the mic and belting out songs -- including "Don't Stop Believin'," "The Weight" and even "We Are the World." For each, she sang her heart out.

Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour has brought out fans, celebrities ... and now apparently shadowy figures cloaked in darkness too -- 'cause one stood atop a huge stadium to watch her show.

One of the singer's recent shows in Madrid received an unexpected guest ... caught on video at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in the middle of Swift's song "Delicate." As you can see, this creepy thing (which looks like a human) is standing at the very top, alone.

While Tay's singing her heart out below, the audience member who filmed this pans upward ... catching the outline of an apparent person swaying along near the stadium's roof.

Frank Grillo is kinda crapping on Angelenos on the 80th anniversary of D-Day -- to honor the milestone, he's saying they don't make 'em like they used to ... especially here in L.A.

The topic came Thursday at LAX as we caught up with the action star -- who has appeared in films like "Zero Dark Thirty," "End of Watch," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and "The Purge: Election Year" -- where we asked about one of the biggest highlights from WWII.

With the famous military operation top of mind ... Frank told us what D-Day means to him -- offering up his respect to vets of the past ... calling them the "last of the great generation."

Ray J thinks his sex tape with Kim Kardashian altered the course of porn history, but some in the game say otherwise ... highlighting Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton as the OGs.

You may have heard Ray's hot take this week -- namely, that his sex tape with Kim from 2007 paved the way for OnlyFans and the adult entertainment industry at large -- but Riley Reid, a bona fide OF star these days, is kinda crapping on his opinion.

Riley -- who has over 2 million followers -- tells TMZ ... yes, Ray and Kim's sex tape was influential at the time, but she actually gives more credit to Pam and Tommy Lee's sex tape -- which was stolen and illegally released -- a bit more historical credit in this regard.

A Wisconsin dad is under fire for rushing the stage at his daughter's high school graduation to shove a school official from the handshake lineup ... and some think race is involved.

This went down at Baraboo High School last week, when they were holding their ceremony for the outgoing seniors -- and video captured this awkward moment ... when a girl was walking across the stage and preparing to shake hands with school district bigwigs.

The superintendent, who's Black, is at the end of the line and he's ready to put 'er there -- but the girl's father pops up out of nowhere from the crowd, whisking him away fast.

Power Slap star Sheena Bathory's bod is officially summer ready -- she just underwent Brazilian Butt Lift surgery ... and she said she's thrilled with the results!

The 32-year-old former bodybuilder -- who's also a mixed martial artist -- got the cosmetic procedure done on Wednesday in Florida ... transferring fat from her triceps and waist to her glutes in order to give them more volume.

Shortly after the procedure, she said she was in a bit of pain ... but on Thursday, she shared with her 200,000-plus followers on Instagram that she's loving what she's seeing post-op so far.

Donald Trump's supporters started dropping left and right outside his Arizona rally this week ... fainting while waiting in line to get in -- with many saying extreme heat's to blame.

New video taken outside Dream City Church in Phoenix Thursday is making the rounds online showing paramedics running around the area to help out several people who appear overcome by the heat -- sitting close to 110 degrees.

Check out the clips ... Ben Brown -- a reporter for ABC15 in Phoenix -- posted video documenting the scene, including a clip showing one individual receiving an IV underneath a couple white pop-up tents.

"Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley is sharing a positive update on Nina Dobrev after his former costar got into a gnarly crash on her E-bike ... telling us she's going to pull through.

We got Paul and his model girlfriend Natalie Kuckenburg at LAX on Thursday and our photog asked him if he had reached out to his fellow 'VD' alum since her accident.

Paul says Nina told him she's doing better after needing surgery for her injuries ... and he says she's expecting to make a full recovery.

50 Cent says his entire interaction with Rep. Lauren Boebert was blown out of proportion because the photo-op everyone's talking about is all he had time for, plus he ain't exactly looking for a new GF.

Of course, that's not the impression 50 or Lauren gave the internet after they posted flirty exchanges to go with the cozy pics they snapped Wednesday at the White House.

We caught 50 out in NYC promoting the final season of "Power Book II: Ghost" and he laughed off the notion he and LB have a congressional romance blossoming.

Deontay Wilder's fiancée, Telli Swift, just got a temporary restraining order against the star boxer ... after she claimed he abused her on multiple occasions over the last six years.

Swift, who began dating Wilder in 2015, applied for the TRO in Los Angeles late last week ... and on Monday -- two days after Wilder was knocked out in a high-profile match with Zhilei Zhang -- a judge granted it.

In her application for the order, Swift accused Wilder of choking her "at least five times" since 2018. She also stated the 38-year-old heavyweight spit on her several other times ... and claimed he once shoved her face in a pillow in a fit of rage for so long, she "nearly suffocated."

Humans and animals aren't the only living organisms with same-sex couples ... some plants and fungi are also essentially lesbian and gay -- so says a pro who knows all about this.

Dr. Patricia Kaishian -- who worked on this new Peacock doc all about queer animals -- has been researching plants and fungi for years ... and she joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and shared some of her strangest findings ... same-sex reproduction!!!

It's pretty incredible, the good doctor says the plant and fungi worlds are way more complex than simply being comprised of just males and females ... and she says some organisms have figured out how to have offspring without a mate of the opposite sex.

3:45 PM PT -- Ryan Garcia seems to be doing well on Thursday -- considering what he went through the night before -- popping up on Rodeo Drive with his brother, Sean.

No word on how much time he spent in Beverly Hills -- or if he ended up buying anything -- but it's a good sign to see him out and about.

Ryan Garcia was checked out by cops at a fancy hotel in Los Angeles Wednesday night ... when a family member called authorities after they became concerned for the star boxer's well-being, TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers responded to the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills for a welfare check in the early evening after the 25-year-old's fam called police. It's unclear exactly what led to the call being made.

Our sources say cops spoke to Ryan at the hotel and determined that he was okay and was not a harm to himself or others, and being no crime was committed, everyone went on their way.

Emma Roberts has the law on her side as she takes steps to protect herself from a man she claims broke into her home and called her cell phone from her landline.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge just granted the "American Horror Story" star a permanent restraining order against a 32-year-old man named Melvin Jeffery Conley.

Emma's 3-year-old son is also getting protection under the order ... after ER claimed Conley mentioned her kid by name, making her concerned about his intentions.

Talk about pressing your luck, the guy who Zoom'd into court while behind the wheel -- to face a suspended license charge, mind you -- shouldn't have been driving ... like, ever!

Corey Harris -- who went viral in the aftermath of the court video conference gone wrong -- had another court appearance this week, and actually made it in person this time ... but hizzoner dropped a bombshell about Corey's driving status.

Judge Cedric Simpson kicked off the hearing saying he wanted to set the record straight ... and, ya gotta watch the clip for yourself -- 'cause it's as wild as the rest of this saga.
