Mike Tyson might've forgotten who he was talking to during an interview with a young journalist ... giving a pretty blunt take on how he'd like to be remembered -- matter-of-factly saying nothing matters once we're all six feet under.

The hilarious interaction happened during a convo with a 13-year-old reporter named Jazzy ... who asked a very good question -- what is the legacy he wants to leave behind when he hangs the gloves up for good?

Iron Mike didn't mince his words ... saying he doesn't believe in "legacy," as it's just another word for ego.

A filmmaker has just sued Netflix, LeBron James, the NBA star's production company and a host of others ... claiming they stole one of his scripts -- and then used it as the basis for one of their recent hit basketball movies.

Rob Grabow -- a screenwriter who directed the 2023 drama "The Year of the Dog" -- spelled out the allegations in a 25-page lawsuit ... that was filed on Thursday in a California federal court.

Grabow states he had written a script for "The Gift of the Game" -- and it was all about a Native American high schooler and his efforts to lead his basketball team to a state title.

Liam Payne sought out the hotel employee accused of delivering him drugs very shortly before his death ... and their interaction is captured in this newly discovered surveillance footage.

TMZ exclusively obtained the video showing Liam briefly stepping out of an elevator in the basement of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires... chatting with one of the 3 people charged in connection with his death.

Our sources at the hotel tell us the staffer who shakes hands and chats with Liam in the video is Ezequiel David Pereyra ... a bellboy at the hotel who police say delivered drugs to Liam in a soap box. While police have not yet confirmed it's Pereyra in this video, we know they have the footage.

Diddy is coming out swinging against former artist Shyne's continuous media campaign that he was scapegoated in their 1999 shooting trial!!!

Shyne's recent supercharged run of interviews featured him as "a sacrificial lamb" in a "demonic" plot ... but Diddy's legal team is slamming those claims once and for all.

A rep for Diddy tells TMZ Hip Hop ...  "Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to 'take the fall' or 'sacrificed' him by directing witnesses to testify against him. These claims are unequivocally false."

“I’m so mad I did that s***," SZA said. "I gained all this weight from being immobile while recovering and trying to preserve the fat. It was just so stupid."

Brooks Nader’s taking some big steps -- she’s in the process of getting rid of that matching tattoo she got with "Dancing with the Stars" partner Gleb Savchenko after their brief fling.

We caught up with Brooks ... and she cleared things up, saying that pic of her kissing Gleb backstage, and their hot chemistry, doesn't mean they were officially dating. At the end of the day, they were just colleagues, and the tattoo was merely a lapse in her judgment.

Check out the clip ... 'cause you can totally feel Brooks' discomfort as she tried to convince us they were never really an official thing.

Kim Kardashian is a jack of all trades ... she's modeling a new offering from her SKIMS brand, starring in an ad campaign for a collab with Dolce & Gabbana ... with an assist from her sister.

The sisters are getting wild in the photo shoot with matching leopard-print catsuits ... and they also model some leopard-print bras, tops and leggings. Rawr!!!

Jax Taylor is hitting back at estranged wife Brittany Cartwright's assertion he hasn't changed ... accusing "The Valley" star of being a hypocrite, since she allegedly still asks him to "hook up."

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum stopped by Bravo's "Hot Mic Podcast" Thursday, where he addressed Brittany's scathing assessment of his time in treatment -- and how their relationship has continued to crumble after the fact.

Jax says his ex is not being entirely honest about their dynamic, claiming she often asks him over for dinner or drinks after trashing him in the press.

Mike Tyson's proving age ain't nothin' but a number ... 'cause the boxing legend popped the hood at weigh-ins Thursday morning, and Iron Mike's living up to his moniker!

He's ripped and rarin' to go.

58-year-old Tyson and 27-year-old Paul both stepped on the scale Thursday morning in Dallas -- about 36 hours before they'll try and take each other's heads off in the ring -- a fight Mike told us would be the "biggest in the history of life."

Travis Kelce got out of the house on Wednesday to hit up a concert ... but it was NOT a date night for the NFL star -- TMZ Sports has learned Taylor Swift stayed behind.

The Chiefs tight end made his way over to the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City to catch Jelly Roll belt out some tunes to a packed arena ... but we're told Swift was not among those in attendance.

Unclear where she was -- but with an "Eras" tour show slated to go down at Rogers Centre in Toronto on Thursday night ... it's safe to assume work took priority.

JoJo Siwa is ready to face the world again after a controversial fall ... stepping out in Los Angeles for the first time in over a month for a few caffeine-fueled errands.

Seemingly shaking off the backlash, JoJo hits up a local coffee shop in L.A., where she gets a little work done on her computer -- even making time for a sweet selfie with a fan.

JoJo seems pretty energized to get back out in the public eye ... and the massive coffee in her hand may have something to do with the pep in her step.

Kyle Richards says Teddi Mellencamp's divorce might not have been caused by "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... but the spotlight certainly doesn't help the situation.

We caught up with the reality television star in Los Angeles Wednesday ... and, we had to ask her about her costar Teddi filing for divorce from her husband of more than 13 years, Edwin Arroyave.

While Kyle says the pressures of the show itself didn't cause the split, public scrutiny isn't helpful to maintaining a relationship ... something she knows all too well.

Shyne hit the NYC pavement hard this week, reminding everyone Diddy ruined his life following the infamous 1999 club shooting -- the actions of a "demonic" man!!!

The former Bad Boy Records star sat for "Good Morning America," and the current Leader of the Opposition in the Belize House of Representatives said he wasn't surprised about Diddy's current incarceration.

Shyne says Diddy evilly left him to rot in prison, serving nearly 9 years ... he could've done 25!!!!

Cynthia Erivo is a Grammy award-winning singer, but she still gets nervous when she has to show off her pipes ... admitting as much on camera.
