Diddy's got a club inside one of his Los Angeles homes and he had a strange request during a shindig after he won a big award ... telling the crowd to make sure they had lotion on.

TMZ obtained video from a party at Diddy's Holmby Hills home in June 2022, the night after he was presented with a BET Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards, and Diddy grabs the mic and makes the bizarre lotion comment.

Diddy says ... "Ayo, everybody make sure your breath is fresh, make sure you're lotion'd up." He says people need to use mouthwash if they're smoking weed and encourages ladies to hit the dance floor even if their date doesn't want to dance.

A fiery showdown ignited on "TMZ Live" when we tackled the explosive new California law banning legacy and donor preferences in admissions at private, nonprofit universities ... with the bill's author in the hot seat to discuss the details.

California Assemblymember Phil Ting threw down the gauntlet ... arguing education is the great equalizer of society, and it's totally unfair for well-off students to get a leg up into elite schools just because of family deep pockets. But our very own Harvey Levin fires back with some solid points from the private university perspective.

You’ve got to hear Harvey’s hot take on the whole donation debate -- but that doesn't sit well with cohost Charles, who questions the fairness of these universities’ DEI admissions policies.

Ashton Kutcher is said to be concerned about getting dragged into the Diddy criminal case, but federal investigators do not have him in their crosshairs ... TMZ has learned.

Eminem's daughter Hailie Jade Scott's expecting ... and her famous father just announced the pregnancy in a new music video.

The rapper just dropped the music vid for "Temporary" -- and in one scene Eminem and Hailie are sitting on a set of stairs on a porch when she hands him a custom Detroit Lions jersey ... that says "Grandpa" on the back.

Hailie also gives her dad a sonogram of the fetus ... and he holds it up toward the camera with a surprised look on his face.

Diddy’s every move is being dissected following his recent bombshell indictment -- and now a bizarre resurfaced video shows him calling out Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson over their skincare endorsements.

In the resurfaced clip from the early 2000s, a rambling Diddy rants about how LL and JS don’t deserve props for their Proactiv collabs, claiming he was onto the skincare brand 7 years before they ever did their commercials -- so, in his eyes, they were late to the game.

It's a seriously cringe-worthy clip, with Diddy going on about how his "silky smooth cocoa butter skin" was courtesy of Proactiv long before Lindsay and Jessica made it trendy in the beauty scene.

Caitlin Clark just missed out on sweeping the field for WNBA Rookie of the Year ... and it's all thanks to one single vote for her rival, Angel Reese.

The results dropped after the Indiana Fever star was officially named ROY on Thursday ... and considering all the history she made this season, many were shocked to see anyone but Clark earning a vote.

The shocking scene was caught on camera -- Luis Ricardo Coronel steps into the middle of Paraguay's Route PY04 to scoop up a teju guasu lying on its back -- but in a split second, he glances back, and BAM, a car comes flying straight into him at full speed.

The blue Toyota IST, driven by Mirtha Tereza Delgado, slams into him with such force that Coronel -- and the poor lizard -- are carried several meters before he crashes down onto the asphalt.

An apparent Bigfoot has made his (or her) inevitable TikTok debut ... and the footage is actually the best to date of a Sasquatch in the wild -- as opposed to a snack commercial.

Here's the big hairy deal ... a video posted Wednesday that has since gone viral shows what sure as hell seems to be a Bigfoot just chilling against a tree in a wooded area of Lawton, about 3 hours from Oklahoma City.

The video is only a few seconds long, but it sure does look like something ripped right out of "Harry and the Hendersons" ... the TikToker who posted called the instance the "scariest moment" of his life.

Will Smith really knows how to clear an area ... with his rear end!
