Paul McCartney gave Deon Cole a little "Help!" Tuesday night when he joined the comedian on stage for a surprise appearance in Hollywood ... cracking a couple jokes of his own.

Watch the video ... Deon is performing and working on new material at the Hollywood Improv, a famed comedy club in Los Angeles, when he pulls The Beatles legend up on stage with him towards the end of his set.

Deon introduces Paul as his "friend" to the crowd and shares a laugh with the singer ... telling the crowd he and PM smoked a little weed before the performance.

Diddy's feeling a severe reversal of fortune right now -- locked up in a federal jail that's held plenty of famous people, but is also about as far from the lap of luxury as the embattled mogul's been in at least 30 years.

On the heels of the judge ordering Diddy to be held without bail, the feds shipped him outta the Lower Manhattan federal courthouse and off to Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn ... a facility notorious for its brutal, sometimes fatal, conditions.

MDC Brooklyn's been the temporary home to several celeb inmates in recent years, including R. Kelly, Fetty Wap, Michael Cohen, Allison Mack and Ghislaine Maxwell. Now, Diddy will be settling into his new surroundings -- a horrifically stark difference from his Miami and L.A. mansion lifestyle.

Patrick Mahomes seemingly has everything -- a loving family, three Super Bowl rings and an NFL contract worth roughly half a billion dollars -- but Travis Kelce still tried to hook him up with a sweet birthday gift this week nonetheless.

The Chiefs' star signal-caller revealed during an interview with "The Drive" on Tuesday his favorite pass catcher got him a swanky Louis Vuitton golf bag for his big 2-9.

It's unclear how much Kelce dropped on the present -- but on the designer's website, there are a few different models that range from $22,600 to $31,500.

The Eagles superfan who wrecked his knee after chest-bumping Jason Kelce says he's doing just fine now ... not only because he'll eventually recover, but also thanks to the Philly legend for reaching out and making his dreams come true!!

Rob Dunphy went to social media to provide a pretty hilarious medical update on Tuesday ... saying he got some x-rays done on his knee after the "Monday Night Countdown" catastrophe -- and the results were essentially, "Man the f*** up."

Dunphy added he's hoping to get an MRI done in the next few days ... but in the meantime, he'll be getting around on some crutches.

Pharrell Williams has a message for celebs who publicly voice their political views -- shut the hell up!

The singer gave a wide-ranging interview to The Hollywood Reporter and, at one point, the convo turned to politics, which led to his criticism of his fellow artists.

Pharrell said he gets annoyed when certain celebs whose opinions he does not respect try to make people vote for a specific candidate.

Diddy's sons are in New York watching their father go through an indictment and court proceedings ... but his teenage twin daughters are hanging back in California with a family friend.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Diddy's teen, twin girls 17-year-old D'Lila and 17-year-old Jessie are currently in Los Angeles under the care of their late mother Kim Porter’s best friend, Lala.

We're told Lala has acted as a caregiver for the girls for several years, though she is NOT a legal guardian.

Police officers raced to Joey Bosa's home late Monday afternoon and pulled up to the NFL star's door with their weapons drawn ... but, thankfully, no one was in any danger -- and the whole ordeal ended up being a false alarm.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the LAPD received a call of a possible burglary in progress at Bosa's Los Angeles-area home at around 5 PM -- after a security system at the residence was triggered.

Law enforcement said there might've been suspects inside the house -- and as you can see in the video from the scene ... they took no chances as they entered the home with guns in their hands.

American actor Trevor Morgan was only 14 years old when he played Eric Kirby -- the little adventurer who adapted and survived after being lost on dinosaur island -- in the 2001 action-adventure film "Jurassic Park III."

Trevor shared the trilogy film with Sam Neill as the dinosaur expert and scientist, Alan Grant, Téa Leoni as Eric's mom who travels to the island to look for him, Amanda Kirby and William H. Macy as the businessman and Eric's father, Paul Kirby.

And of course, Laura Dern reprised her role as Ellie Sattler.

2:51 PM PT -- Diddy's lawyer is determined to see the rap mogul out from behind bars. We caught up with Marc Agnifilo outside the courthouse in NYC Tuesday, where he vowed to "keep fighting" until Combs is a free man.

Though Diddy was denied bail in court Tuesday, his attorney is feeling confident heading into the bail appeal ... noting it will be a different judge for that hearing.

Watch the video ... Agnifilo reacted to Diddy's case being compared to other high profile sex crime cases, including R. Kelly's and Jeffrey Epstein's.

1:28 PM PT -- The judge just denied bail for Diddy, who will remain in custody.

Diddy's lawyer Marc Agnifilo spoke outside the courthouse after Diddy was denied bail. Agnifilo said they will continue to fight to get Diddy out of jail.  

Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky told the court ... "I thank your family members for coming, but I cannot release him." Diddy's sons Christian and Justin were inside the courtroom at the time.

12:47 PM PT -- Diddy's attorney is taking on the narrative that the rap mogul isn't a brute and a bully ... seemingly hinting there's more to the story regarding the 2016 hotel hallway incident involving Combs and his then-girlfriend, Cassie.

Diddy's camp argued "victim one" was looking through his phone and discovered he had more than one girlfriend ... hitting the rapper in the head with a cell phone and taking off with his clothing -- which explains why he was in the hallway in a towel in the footage that surfaced back in May.

His lawyer claims Diddy and the unnamed victim, assumed to be Cassie, were very much in love ... until the woman in question cheated "for years" with the trainer the A-lister provided for her. We've reached out to Cassie's reps for comment.

Cassie notably married physical trainer Alex Fine in 2019. They share 2 children together.

Diddy's lawyer claims his client is "not a perfect person" ... though found himself in "toxic relationships," but claims they were mutual.

However, earlier in court, it was suggested that Diddy wrote a large check to an ex for 10 years ... it's unclear who received the payment and for what reason.

3:14 PM PT -- Cardi B is speaking out against the lawsuit, saying she's going to fight it in court.

Cardi just broke her silence on social media, saying in part ... "IRON YOUR BEST SUIT BITCH I'll see you in court!!!!"

Cardi B is denying she and Offset didn't pay to use the mansion, and she says she has receipts. She says she paid the homeowner $10,000 for 24-hour use of the home, and paid a realtor more when they went over time.

Cardi adds ... "And this is not the realtors fault…they been trying for months to settle this. Its them greedy owners wit their ugly ass house."

Cardi B and Offset might need to cough up some "Money" ... we've learned the estranged spouses have been sued for nonpayment for the mansion used in one of their music video projects.

In new court documents obtained by TMZ ... the owner of the property featured heavily in Cardi's "Like What" music video -- which Offset directed -- is alleging the twosome lied about their filming plans ... leading the homeowner to give them free use of the manse.

As the plaintiff put it in the docs ... Cardi, Offset and their team knew they'd have to shell out a chunk of change to film at the prestigious Beverly Hills residence for a music video ... so, instead, reps for the couple told the owner an unnamed client hoped to film a TikTok video at the home.

Diddy is being jailed on sex trafficking charges, Kim Zolciak is shutting down Kroy Biermann and Demario Davis is breaking down his NFL team's hot start ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles dive into the Diddy indictment out of New York.

Dolly Parton is refusing to take sides in the drama between the CMAs and Beyoncé ... unwilling to acknowledge the singer may've been purposefully shut out of the awards show.

The country legend addressed Bey earning not one CMA Awards nomination -- despite having one of the biggest country albums and songs of the year -- confessing to Variety that she didn't realize the country newcomer was left out until recently.

While members of the Beyhive voiced their outrage after Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" was left off the nominations list, Dolly speculates the lack of honors has more to do with the amount of talent in the country scene right now ... that it's not a reflection of Bey's ability.

4:28 PM PT -- A spokesperson for J.D. Vance tells TMZ ... "The media is making a story up out of thin air. Senator Vance was referring to the fact that he prefers fried chicken, and his wife prefers curry chicken. Fried chicken was a staple in the Vance household when JD was a kid, as he wrote in Hillbilly Elegy."

J.D. Vance is catching heat for taking Laura Loomer's racist Kamala Harris diss to the next level ... adding fried chicken to the mix, along with a side of curry.

In a recent interview on NBC News' "Meet The Press," Vance tells Kristen Welker ... "Whether you're eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies."

Vance was being asked about Loomer's recent racist comments aimed at the Vice President ... namely, saying if Harris, whose mom was Indian American, got elected, the White House would "smell like curry."

Michael Bay is going to need some costly home repairs ... because cops say someone drove a car into his front gate and caused six figures' worth of damage before fleeing the scene.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the LAPD responded to the famous director's Los Angeles area home Tuesday morning for a hit-and-run involving his property.

Cops were called after a Bay employee discovered a car had damaged the front gate, snapped a tree in half, knocked over a city sign and took out the gate keypad.

A popular IVF clinic frequented by the likes of former patients including Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen and Paris Hilton threw a couple's precious embryos in the trash, and now they may not be able to have kids ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

Reproductive Partners Medical Group, a Los Angeles-based fertility clinic, is being sued by Marissa Calhoun and Stephen Castaneda ... a couple of everyday people who say the clinic sabotaged their dream of having children.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, the couple claims Marissa had her eggs retrieved, frozen and stored by RPMG in 2021 and 2022 ... but says tragedy struck in October 2023 when the IVF clinic made a huge error.

Cardi B isn't listening to critics as she faces backlash for hitting the gym a mere week after giving birth to her third child ... though, doctors tell us she might want to heed the warnings.

Here's the skinny ... the rapper took to Instagram Sunday, documenting herself on the StairMaster a little over a week after welcoming her third baby with Offset. This sparked a big reaction online ... with fans expressing concern for her well-being, while others slammed her for succumbing to "snap back" pressure.

Cardi made it clear she was tuning out the peanut gallery ... returning to the gym again Monday, pointing out she's only doing 30-minute sessions, and taking it slow. As Cardi put it, she's using cardio to help prevent postpartum depression, noting it's her third time going through this experience.
