Blake Lively's getting by with some help from her friend Taylor Swift, who's hosting a celeb-packed weekend celebration for Blake's 37th birthday at her Rhode Island seaside mansion.

TMZ got the first shots of Taylor and her man Travis Kelce chilling at the $17 million pad on Saturday. It looked like a romantic weekend getaway for them but turns out they were also prepping for their big-name guests to arrive.

Later in the day, birthday girl Blake showed up with hubby Ryan Reynolds -- and the couple shared a smooch outside on one of the home's many sun-kissed decks.

Travis Kelce's dad's officially a Facebook first kinda guy ... 'cause he says he received a lifetime ban from X, and he's not sure why.

Ed Kelce took to Facebook yesterday to share a Newsmax article alleging Houthi arms dealers are selling weapons on X ... and, in it, he mentions he's banned for life from Elon Musk's platform.

EK says he got a lifetime ban for a "generic 'Terms Of Service' violation." He later clarified he wasn't banned because of this specific post, but instead posted it just to point out the platform's hypocrisy.

Cheryl Hines is getting destroyed online for her husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s decision to endorse Donald Trump -- and there's good reason to believe that move is triggering a cold war in Cheryl's house.

Online trolls have been giving the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star the business all weekend in the wake of RFK Jr.'s Friday endorsement of Trump ... and his flashy appearance with him at an Arizona rally.

Cheryl posted a thank you to RFK Jr.'s campaign staff, making zero mention of Trump -- still, she got dragged in the comments with one user asking, "Do you have a MAGA hat yet?" ... while another said, "Your legacy is on the line. If you don’t say anything, you will be remembered for supporting Trump.”

Kamala Harris is inspiring a possible superhero crossover ... 'cause "Wonder Woman" actress Lynda Carter may soon face off with "The Boys" character Homelander in support of the Democratic nominee.

Here's the deal ... a few days ago, Lynda tweeted she was putting up a Bat Signal for "Geeks and Nerds for Harris Walz" -- telling her fans to get behind the Dems for the upcoming election.

Welp, Eric Kripke -- creator of "The Boys" and hit fantasy show "Supernatural" -- responded to the tweet Sunday morning ... introducing himself, résumé first, to Lynda.

Matt Barnes says his son's had a pretty difficult week ... 'cause not only did a car run him down -- but, he also needed emergency surgery for a different issue!

The former Los Angeles Laker shared the news Sunday morning ... posting a pic of his boy Zay laid up in a hospital gurney -- middle finger flipped up toward his pop.

MB runs through the timeline of the week ... explaining Zay was first hit by a car on Wednesday while jogging -- a scary enough moment many might assume actually put him in the hospital.

Sen. J.D. Vance does not regret his big swipe at "childless cat ladies" -- but does think everyone's missing the point he was trying to make with what he's now labeling a purely sarcastic remark.

Donald Trump's running mate got grilled about cat ladies Sunday morning on NBC's "Meet the Press," and said his only regret was that people took the comment the wrong way, and added ... "I'm a real person, I'm gonna make jokes, I'm gonna say things sarcastically."

Vance says what he was really getting at when he said it back in 2021, is that too many women don't feel like they can start families because it's too expensive. His reframing of "cat ladies" is that he and Trump will improve their lives, so they can have kids.

Chris Hemsworth's trading in Thor's hammer for a pair of drumsticks ... wielding the wood as he learns to play drums -- and testing his skills out behind Ed Sheeran.

The actor joined Ed during his show in Romania Saturday night ... and, Ed shared a vid to his IG detailing how their collab came to be -- explaining the actor reached out to him back in December.

ES says Chris has really been diving into cognitive health on his docuseries 'Limitless' ... and, he started learning an instrument because of the benefits that come along with it.

There's a simple reason you won't find Jenna Ortega on X/Twitter ... AI generated sexual images of herself forced her to flee the social media platform, and soured her on the technology.

Jenna, who's 21 now, says the visual assault started years ago when she was in her teens, and was encouraged to get on then-Twitter to boost her profile as an actor -- but it immediately became a nightmare.

She told The Interview podcast, "I hate AI. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It’s terrifying. It’s corrupt. It’s wrong."

You can't knock Floyd Mayweather's skills in the ring -- as a boss, anyway, because while he was boxing John Gotti III, he fired the referee ... bringing in fresh eyes when he didn't like a call.

While Saturday night's fight in Mexico City was just an exhibition, it was a highly anticipated rematch. Fans weren't exactly loving the action, or lack thereof, in the 2nd round ... when Floyd uncorked a punch that Gotti complained was a rabbit punch -- an illegal blow to the back of the head.

When referee Hector Afu penalized Mayweather for the right hook, the 47-year-old fighter got pissed and started waving him off ... gesturing for Afu to get out of the ring. After a brief exchange of heated words between the boxer and ref, Afu got the hell outta Dodge!

9:40 AM PT -- Nicki’s attorney, Judd Burstein tells TMZ … “Mr. Peak has been harassing Nicki on social media for years on end to no avail."

"He has now graduated to seeking to shake her down financially with manifestly false allegations and legally frivolous claims. He will regret having gone down this disreputable road when he is forced to pay her legal fees as required by California law.”

Nicki Minaj has a pissed-off Barb on her hands -- one of her avid fans claims Nicki publicly humiliated him by calling him a mentally unstable stalker and ... so, now he's suing.

The New York rapper was named as a defendant in the suit filed by plaintiff Tameer Peak in L.A. Superior Court – and the allegations paint Nicki as a full-blown bully.

According to the documents, obtained by TMZ, Tameer refers to himself as one of Nicki's most ardent followers for the past 15 years, and claims he helped her career by promoting her 2023 album, "Pink Friday 2."

T-Boz is gonna be seeing a lot of scrubs ... she's in a hospital after what she thought was food poisoning spiraled into something much worse, forcing TLC to pull the plug on its weekend shows.

The group says T-Boz, AKA Tionne Watkins, is suffering from an abdominal blockage that landed her in the hospital. The medical crisis meant TLC couldn't perform Saturday night at Foxwoods in Connecticut, and ditto for a Friday night gig at the NY State Fair in Syracuse.

After the Friday night cancelation -- which came just 30 minutes before the scheduled start time -- they said she had food poisoning, but 24 hours later they got a different diagnosis.

Cristiano Ronaldo may have broken the record for most subscribers in 90 minutes on YouTube ... but there's just no way in hell he's catching up to MrBeast's astronomical figures -- so says Jake Paul.

Many had wondered if the soccer superstar could reach 300 million like Beast, given his wild numbers in just a few days of launching his channel -- but Paul told TMZ Sports on Friday, he just doesn't see it happening.

Now, that's not any kind of shade from the boxer -- Paul actually praised Ronaldo for scoring the number -- but he just thinks MrBeast's digits are in a whole 'nother stratosphere.

This week's Summer Hot Shots features splashed in from the refreshing shores of Lake Michigan ... where model Kaitlyn Kashews blossomed in a flower print two piece along the calm waters of Milwaukee.

When this lake-looker isn't picture perfect on the water, Kaitlyn likes concerts, wake surfing, hiking, going to motocross races, recording her first album ... and she used to kick beer cans off people's heads as a beverage cart girl on a golf course.

What can't this hottie do?

Jennifer Garner is not leaving her man for Ben Affleck, Kamala Harris is ripping Donald Trump, and a couple NBA Anthonys are walking Floyd Mayweather into the ring ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Charles and Babcock explain why Jennifer is not going to break up with her boyfriend John Miller just because her ex-husband is getting divorced from another famous Jen.

Hidden underneath this smooshed-up star is a SoCal hottie known for being popular in the summer! Time to put your celeb thinking cap on and see if you can score the unknown celebrity!

Her breakout role came on television in the early 2000s alongside Mischa Barton and her on-screen BF, "Seth Cohen" ... She would later get her last kiss from Zach Braff and star in "Hart of Dixie."

When she's not workin' it on the 'gram and showing her spunky side on her podcast, she's a doting mother to her daughter!

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's love story's heating back up ... 'cause they're side-by-side again after weeks apart -- cuddling up at her beach house.

TMZ has obtained photos from Taylor's Rhode Island home ... capturing the pair appearing just over the edge of her balcony as they soaked in the salty air coming off the Atlantic.

The pics are taken pretty far away ... but, there's Kelce, recongizable mustache and longer hair slinging his arms around Taylor as the two reunited for some much-needed time together after weeks apart.
