If you were expecting fierce trash talk and utter chaos at the Jake Paul and Mike Tyson press conference ... sorry, 'cause the boxing legend was as introverted as could be during the leadup to their big fight -- forcing El Gallo to call him out for being "boring."

The two pugilists took the stage just two days before their huge showdown at AT&T Stadium ... and while Jake was ready to go to verbal war, his opponent was a man of few words when peppered with questions.

Mike made it clear he was done talking and ready to fight ... and all he cared about was beating Jake.

John Krasinski is People magazine's 2024 Sexiest Man Alive, and some people are pissed about the selection ... but one of JK's pals from "The Office" is firing back.

Here's the deal ... John graced the cover of People on Tuesday wearing a T-shirt and jeans, sitting on the bumper of a NYC Yellow cab ... and social media was instantly divided, with some loving the pick, while others bitched JK is cute, sure -- but NOT sexy.

Kate Flannery -- who played Meredith Palmer on the hit series -- tells TMZ ... she was thrilled when she heard John got the honor -- and had a feeling sooner or later he would be recognized for how hot he became for his roles in "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" and "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi."

Piff the Magic Dragon is confirming he actually spent almost $60K to clone his late dog, Mr. Piffles ... telling TMZ he's "so glad" he did.

We caught up with the magician after the sad news his longtime performing companion and beloved Chihuahua had died ... with the "America's Got Talent" alum revealing he created a contingency plan for this inevitable day back when his pup first started getting older.

Though word of Piff's decision to clone the pup broke a while back, the British comedian assured us he "genuinely cloned" Piffles ... and even had Mr. Piffles 2.0 join him on camera for a quick hello.

Whoopi Goldberg's want fans to get a mouthful of her ... telling fans to dive right in and have a taste -- of a wheel of cheese bearing her face!

The comedian turned 69 on Wednesday ... and, in honor of her big day, Whoopi hosted a "Favorite Things" segment on "The View" alongside cohost Sara Haines -- much like the kind Oprah used to offer on her show.

In the clip, Whoopi takes the audience through a few of her favorite products ... olive oil, coffee pods, luggage and more -- before stepping up to a huge wheel of cheese with her likeness plastered on it.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign maybe got snubbed for a Best Rap Album Grammy for their "Vultures 1" ... but one group of Memphis rappers is claiming the dynamic duo snubbed them on credit that helped the finished product!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained legal docs Wednesday filed by Vanda Watkins, AKA Criminal Manne, Hayward Ivy, AKA producer DJ Squeeky, and the estate of late rapper Kilo G for copyright infringement regarding the "Vultures 1" track "Fuk Sumn."

The song was officially released back in March as part of Ye's comeback atop the Billboard Charts and opens up with a country rap tuned sample before the beat drops -- and the plaintiffs are alleging that's their voices Ye and his Yeezy record label team stole.

Peanut The Squirrel was marked for death even before the government raided his owner's home ... and this whole case seems even more fishy.

We tackled the subject on "TMZ Live," with Harvey and Charles explaining why some of the conspiracy theories around this case aren't as crazy as they sound.

Frankly, we don't think it makes a whole lot of sense for authorities to say they ordered a fatal rabies test for Peanut because an officer got bit by the animal during the raid ... because now we know state officials advised the county to euthanize the animals a week before the raid was launched.

Some in the office think owner Mark Longo put these animals in danger by trying to make them social media stars ... but not everyone is buying it ... and the need for a search warrant here is definitely up for debate.

The Toy Scout, Joel Magee, is advising people against tossing out the "Wicked" toys incorrectly labeled with a porn link ... explaining owners could majorly cash in on the X-rated error.

The toy expert tells TMZ ... he's never seen a mistake like this on a toy before, especially involving a company as famous and as big as Mattel. In fact, he's baffled the proof team didn't catch such a glaring error, calling it a "heavy" misstep.

However, the mistake actually makes the toy even more valuable now ... with Joel encouraging owners to ignore Mattel's instructions on how to dispose of the NSFW packaging.

Ariana Grande was in awe the first time she saw the Munchkins in the upcoming "Wicked" movie ... so much so that she stopped to take photos of them in costume.

Ricardo Ludgero Souza, who plays a Munchkin in "Wicked," tells TMZ ... Ariana went complete fan-girl before her first scene with the Munchkins, asking the actors for pics and chatting with them on set before cameras started rolling.

Ariana's reaction came as a complete surprise to the actors playing the Munchkins, Ricardo says ... she's by far the biggest celebrity on set, but geeked out over the littlest people in Oz.

George Lemore, who starred in the 1995 film "Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh," doesn't think anyone should pick up the villain's famous hook in the aftermath of Tony Todd's death.

We caught up with the actor a week after his former costar died of natural causes at the age of 69, prompting George to advocate to the powers that be to leave the 'Candyman' franchise alone.

As George put it ... the horror series, which dropped its first film back in 1992, should be left as a classic and shouldn't be rebooted again ... declaring it's comparable to other greats in the popular genre.

Kristin Cavallari isn't rattled by her ex, Mark Estes, hanging out with other women ... even after his joke proposal to Liv Walker.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the "Laguna Beach" alum isn't bothered by Mark spending quality time with different women, as their relationship was done for good back in September.

KC and Mark have no plans to reconcile romantically, so she respects the TikTok star's decision to get back out there after their split.

Jake Paul is keeping his ears protected ahead of his fight against Mike Tyson -- TMZ Sports has learned El Gallo just received some iced-out coverings to make sure his opponent doesn't try to chomp 'em off!!

The unique drip was part of the YouTuber-turned-global boxing star's latest haul ahead of Friday's huge event at AT&T Stadium ... which also included a $7 MILLION Jacob & Co. watch!!

Paul having the ear coverings is a clear jab at Iron Mike's most infamous in-ring moment -- when he bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear in 1997.

Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré says Pete Hegseth doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to women serving on the front lines ... telling us women are essential to our Armed Forces.

The 3-star general joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live" and we asked him about President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Department of Defense claiming women in combat complicate things.

Honoré says he was at first skeptical about women serving on the front lines when he was serving in the Army -- but once the change was made back in the day it turned out to be for the best ... and all the women he knows in the Armed Forces are serving admirably, no matter their rank.
