A trigger warning about "Wicked" has people in a tornado-like rage ... with many decrying the warning about discrimination against people with green skin.

Here's the deal ... the British Board of Film Classification reviews movies with a set of criteria -- telling parents if there is nudity, violence, injuries -- and, discrimination, among other categories.

For "Wicked," the section reads "A green-skinned woman is mocked, bullied and humiliated because of her skin color. A disabled woman in a wheelchair is treated in a condescending manner by able-bodied people. Talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical society."

Shaboozey might be at a bar gettin' tipsy ... but, his halftime show performance was full of just clean, family fun -- at least, that's what some on the internet say.

Here's the deal ... the singer-songwriter performed during halftime of the Detroit Lions game against the Chicago Bears -- playing several of his hit songs including "Tipsy (A Bar Song)," "Last of My Kind" and others.

The 6-minute performance was well-received both in the building and online ... with many on X applauding the show for being fun and family-friendly.

It's a big day for the short snout community ... 'cause the first pug in history just won the 2024 National Dog Show.

Vito the pug -- a happy-looking pup with the trademark smushed pug face -- was named best-in-show just minutes ago ... beating out a crowded field of more than 1,900 dogs consisting of more than 200 unique breeds.

Check out Vito's crowning moment ... Verde -- a Welsh terrier with long, luscious locks -- is named Reserve Best-in-Show, a second-place finish.

Jon Gosselin is walking down the aisle once again ... 'cause he's officially engaged to his girlfriend of three years Stephanie Lebo.

The reality television star and his bride-to-be announced the news to Entertainment Tonight Thursday ... revealing Gosselin got down on one knee last Saturday at her fav restaurant in Pennsylvania.

Jon popped the question in front of both of their parents, professing his love for Stephanie and sliding the ring on her finger.

Claudia Schiffer's daughter has big high heels to fill ... but, she's already proving she inherited the model gene from her look-alike mother.

Clementine Vaughn -- the daughter Claudia shares with filmmaker Matthew Vaughn -- took to Instagram recently and posted a selfie in a barely-there swimsuit top.

Check out the pic ... Claudia's letting it all show for her numerous fans. She's already carved out a presence of her own online BTW -- amassing nearly 25k followers on Instagram.

Sam Asghari and girlfriend Brooke Irvine are getting close for Thanksgiving ... by showing off a little PDA.

The 2 were snapped getting handsy while grabbing lunch at Gracias Madre in West Hollywood on Wednesday ... then a stroll with Sam's dog.

While Sam has been coy when directly asked about Brooke ... they've been spotted a lot around L.A. -- and most recently in Vegas at a DJ Kaskade set.

If Ariana Madix is bummed about being axed from “Vanderpump Rules" ... it sure didn't show as she slayed Thursday morning during the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Ariana entertained the massive crowd with The Cardigans' classic “Lovefool” ... in front of the iconic Macy’s Herald Square location in New York City.

The show-stopping performance from the Broadway and reality star happened on the heels of Bravo announcing it was axing the entire cast of 'VPR' for Season 12 ... and replacing them with a “new group of close-knit SUR-vers.”

"Vanderpump Rules" is going to have a clean sweep of it's cast for Season 12, but not if you pick up what Peter Madrigal is puttin' down.

We got Peter outside SUR restaurant in WeHo Friday night, and he addressed a story TMZ broke a few days back ... that there will be an entirely new cast for the next season. Peter seems to think there's an outlier -- or maybe more accurately an inlier -- someone who's gonna stick around, and he repeatedly insinuates it's him!

As you know, the ratings have been sagging, but the show did have a resurgence after the whole cheating scandal with Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix and Rachel Leviss. The show got super popular after that, but it's time for some fresh faces and bodies that will actually work at Sur.

As the debate rages on whether it is rude to sing aloud in the theater during "Wicked" showings ... one of the stars is telling fans to belt that s***!

Cynthia Erivo was a guest Thursday during Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade ... where she was asked by Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager about the debate topic.

Cynthia -- who plays Elphaba -- said fans should sing their hearts out in showing if they are feeling it ... after all, the cast did!

New York City Police made several arrests Thursday morning as a group of pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, TMZ confirmed.

Police tell us ... several people have been arrested, but an exact number is unclear as the disturbance just happened. For the moment ... it appears to have been cleared.

The protesters did not make the televised program on NBC ... but social media was flooded with snaps and video of them making their attempt ... and the quick response from NYPD.

A famous dog has passed ... a dog famous for her owner and famous in her own right.

Birdie was a Golden Retriever owned by Jennifer Garner, who announced the pooch has passed. Jen says, “It is hard to know how to write this— it seems nuts, given the world, to mourn a pet, but since we have shared Birdie with all of you, it only seems fair to let you know of her passing.”

Birdie stopped eating last week -- a clear sign something was wrong because J.G. described the dog as a foodie -- and the fam became alarmed and took her to the vet, who delivered some horrible news -- Birdie was at the end of her life.

Taylor Swift got an apology from Billboard for the way it honored her ... sounds weird, right?

As we reported, T.S. was named second Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century by Billboard. Thing is ... Billboard included a video celebrating her career, and in that vid there's a shot of Taylor in the nude -- quick clarification ... it's not Taylor, it's a wax figure courtesy of her nemesis.

You may remember back in 2016, Kanye did a whole thing for his "Famous" video ... with celebrity wax figures in the nude, including Taylor. People were pissed off back then -- especially the celebs he featured -- so it seemed that video was destined for deep archives.

A woman in Australia got the shock of her life when her garage door opened and she was nearly attacked by a massive python, new surveillance video shows.

Check out the footage from Storyful ... the lady strolls up to her garage outside her home in Queensland as the automatic door raises — and everything seems just fine at first.

But then ... the gigantic snake drops down while attached to the ceiling inside the garage.

Some of Hollywood's fallen stars won't be chowing down on lavish meals tomorrow ... 'cause even though they're getting turkey and other Thanksgiving staples behind bars, it ain't gonna be what they're used to.

TMZ's done our yearly check ... and, we know the Thanksgiving menus in prison for inmates like Tekashi 6ix9ine, Suge Knight, Danny Masterson and Tory Lanez, among others.

Here's what everyone's gobblin' down:

Kanye West is dropping a "Bomb" ... releasing the video for his song with daughters North West and Chicago West ... and it's pretty creative.

Ye dropped the video Wednesday on YouTube and it mainly centers around North and Chicago ... driving futuristic vehicles in a race through the desert with some gremlin-like creatures.

The song is off Kanye's "Vultures 2" album and North mostly raps her verse in Japanese. She looks all grown up and is wearing a fur hoodie as she tools through some barren terrain.

Netflix is serving up some hot holiday heat with "Hot Frosty" and "The Merry Gentlemen" ... and a top sex doc says these films are a total game-changer 'cause it's just what women need to jingle their bells this season.

Here's the holly jolly ... 2 holiday Netflix films that are all horned up with hunks -- something Hallmark couldn't get away with -- have taken the streamer by storm and gone viral this season.

Sex expert Dr. Laura Berman tells TMZ ... Netflix is killing it with these flicks during the crazy holiday season when libidos tend to take a nosedive -- with women releasing their pent-up frustration with the Hallmark-style sweetness ... but with hot men getting objectified (for once!).

Laura says these steamy holiday flicks are perfect timing -- single women are looking for a stress reliever and longing for someone ... while even women in a relationship need a break from the holiday madness.

She adds it’s clear there’s women at Netflix behind these films who get that women love porn with a plot, and we can totally expect a lot more hot guy holiday content in the future.

But, don’t get too excited, 'cause Laura says we’re still a long way from a full-on Hallmark-style porno!
