Being a nepo baby ain't all that, according to Aoki Lee Simmons, who's actually bowing out of modeling, specifically, because she says everyone in the industry wants her to be her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons.

The 22-year-old explained her disappointment in a video where she revealed she's constantly told she's not pretty enough to make it in modeling -- and, if that wasn't deflating enough, she's constantly measured against Kimora.

Aoki says, "My mom is always going to be a way better model than me, it's just annoying to have that comparison sometimes."

Jessica Chastain is picking a fight with an airline, Ashton Kutcher is in need of car repairs and Aaron Rodgers is denying getting his head coach fired ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles explain why Jessica is getting mixed reviews after publicly putting JetBlue on blast over $15.

Ariana Grande's got her own distinct voice, but she can still imitate just about any big singer in Hollywood ... paying tribute to some incredible female vocalists during her tongue-in-cheek "Saturday Night Live" monologue.

The singer-songwriter hosted 'SNL' for the second time ... having first helmed the program way back in 2016 -- pointing out how when she hosted last time, America also had a female nominee for president, and hoping it goes better for Kamala Harris than Hillary Clinton.

Grande then says she's lucky she's to star in the movie version of the Broadway show "Wicked" -- set for release next month -- before adding she doesn't plan on singing during this show, just taking on host duties.

Cardi B's making sure her 32nd birthday is memorable ... for herself, for everyone watching her ass-shaking celebration and, possibly, for her estranged hubby who did not see the party in person.

The private party went down Saturday night in Manhattan, with Cardi labeling her shindig, "Bardi in the City" -- although it looked more like Bardi Barely Covered!

Cardi was rocking a backless black romper that showed off all her back tatts, and struggled to cover her ass. The tiny outfit didn't hamper her signature dance moves ... as she twerked all night for the cameras, and was even slinging drinks, at one point in the evening.

This is just astoundingly cool ... SpaceX's Starship megarocket -- the world's most powerful rocket that will take NASA back to the moon -- just flew in reverse, essentially, making a perfect landing back on the launch pad.

The biggest rocket ever made blasted off Sunday morning from Southern Texas for Starship Flight 5, attempting to have both stages of the spacecraft -- the Super Heavy booster and Starship capsule -- return safely back to Earth ... and it was downright incredible to see.

Minutes after the successful launch, spectators and SpaceX engineers cheered and watched in amazement as the Super Heavy booster came back down ... and the launch pad's "chopstick" arms caught it cleanly, holding it safely above the pad ... in one reusable piece.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce went out for another dinner date in NYC, only this time they were without Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively — but they were still the center of attention.

On Saturday night, the power couple rolled up in a chauffeured white SUV to Torrisi — a fancy Italian restaurant in Soho.

Travis got out first from the backseat, and then went into chivalry mode ... walking around to the other side to open Taylor's door and help her step out.

Dennis Quaid doesn't just play former presidents, he also campaigns for them ... stepping up to the mic during a Donald Trump rally in SoCal's Coachella Valley, and declaring it's time "to pick a side."

Fresh off his starring role in "Reagan" -- who Dennis called his favorite prez of the 20th century -- the actor sang Trump's praises before the candidate came on stage.

While wearing a MAGA cap, Quaid asked the crowd, “Are we gonna be a nation that stands for the Constitution or for TikTok?” He also compared Trump to Ronald Reagan, saying the nation is facing some of the same issues it did during the 1980 election.

The WNBA Finals are underway ... so it's time to give a special shout-out to the S.O.'s of the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty!!

The Liberty made it to the Finals after putting an end to the Las Vegas Aces' three-peat dreams ... and their star guard Sabrina Ionescu is lookin' to get her and the franchise's first WNBA title.

Her husband, former NFL center Hroniss Grasu, certainly won't miss it if history is made ... nor will Breanna Stewart's wife, retired Spanish pro basketball star Marta Casademont, and their two kids, Ruby Mae and Theo.

Hidden behind this drastically altered photo is a famous musician and fashionisto about to get you all up in your feels. He's been known to turn around in his big red chair, but by the hair of your chinny chinny chin, can you guess who the celeb is behind this scrambled snap?

His fashion looks may make you happy, but perhaps his fans are even more stoked for his new musical documentary which dropped earlier this weekend. He's produced songs for some of music's hottest stars like Snoop Dogg and Britney Spears.

Charli XCX's looks over the years are so BRATTY!

Here is a 21-year-old version of the singer-songwriter, "fancy" in leather, at the mtvU Woodie Awards and Festival in Texas back in 2014 (left). This was the same year she collabed with Iggy Azalea on "Fancy" and dropped her hit song "Boom Clap."

And a decade later, Charli recently stayed true to her fierce leather roots -- making a visit to "The Howard Stern Show" (right) and discussed all things "Brat Remix" -- her new album which dropped earlier this week.

How do you like them apples?!

The real question here is:

Julia Fox says she never should've dated Kanye West ... calling their brief romance one of the most uncomfortable times of her life.

The dominatrix-turned-actress sat down for an interview with The Times, published early Saturday morning, saying she regrets dating the rap star ... claiming she wanted to keep their coupling low-key -- but, it went public without her OK.

JF says she thinks she was being used as a pawn during their relationship ... before confirming Ye's "the artist" she wrote about in her memoir "Down the Drain" -- a person she claims picked out her outfits, offered to pay for a boob job and asked her to sign an NDA.

Brantley Gilbert's son seems born to be a rockstar ... 'cause his mom gave birth to him in his dad's tour bus mid-show -- before Gilbert ran back onstage and finished the show.

The country singer-songwriter posted a video to his Instagram from his show in Tupelo, Mississippi Friday night ... revealing he went out to perform his show before leaving the stage due to an some sort of emergency.

The camera follows BG offstage ... and, into his tour bus, where it shows his wife, Amber, holding their new baby boy -- apparently having given birth inside the bus.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti are sticking to popular European transport back stateside ... riding bikes through the Big Apple and hanging with a member of Leo's fam.

The actor and his model girlfriend hit the New York City streets Saturday ... with the two hopping on bicycles and flying down the streets -- Leo in his usual incognito mask and hat combo.

Check out the pics ... while he's trying not to attract too much attention, he needs his nose to breathe during the physical activity -- and, it's pretty clearly him even with the mask on.

The Oregon Duck decided to go quackers out and shoot his shot with Sydney Sweeney this weekend ... and, she basically responded with a Nintendo gun to the screen.

The popular university mascot used ESPN’s "College GameDay" broadcast to duck around and find out when he held up a sign that read ... "Sydney Sweeney call me back."

The hilarious moment spread through social media like wildfire ... so, of course ... it was just a matter of time before the TV and film actress saw it -- and she replied!

Tupac Shakur's brother is still side-eyeing Diddy over Pac's murder ... recently saying Diddy's claim that he had no involvement in the rap legend's death might not be 100% honest -- in his opinion.

Mopreme Shakur -- Tupac's stepbrother who rapped alongside him in the group Thug Life -- stopped by "Piers Morgan Uncensored" Friday ... and Piers asked him about the well-known theory that the Bad Boy founder played a part in 2Pac's death.

Piers mentions how Diddy actually called Mopreme back in 2008 and denied any involvement in his little brother's death, after an infamous L.A. Times piece alleged associates of the rap mogul planned the 1994 shooting of 2Pac at Quad Recording Studios in NYC.

Taylor Rousseau Grigg -- the TikTok star who died tragically just last week -- has been laid to rest ... with her husband calling the ceremony "beautiful" on social media.

The influencer, who passed away just over a week ago -- was laid to rest Friday, her husband Cameron said ... sharing a picture of a white casket with a matching floral arrangement to his IG story.

Cameron wrote, "It was beautiful princess" followed by a white heart on the pic. He played the song, "Here Without You" by 3 Doors Down over the image.
