Bill Maher's like L.A. wildfire-levels of hot over accused murderer Luigi Mangione becoming a sex symbol and folk hero ... and he says young people who think shooting someone in the back is a good thing, are themselves guilty of something else.

On Friday night's episode of 'Real Time,' Bill scorched supporters of the man charged with murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Interestingly, he opened his "New Rules" segment by jokingly opining, "One hopeful thing did happen when we were on our break: a health insurance executive got shot in the back on the street in broad daylight" -- at which point, Bill paused and a few people in the audience cheered. Sarcasm ain't for everybody.

Woody Harrelson's brother Brett Harrelson isn't ruling out the possibility they are half-bros with Matthew McConaughey ... and says he might have to start pinching hairs from the famed duo to find out.

We got Brett out in Bev Hills -- seemed to be on a date -- when he told us MC's the one holding up things, because Matthew doesn't want to possibly find out the guy he thought was his father his whole life isn't actually related to him. His dad, James, died in 1992.

Still, Brett says Woody's been working on his longtime pal, trying to convince him that finding out he has new brothers might be worth the overall shock.

Ryan Reynolds made a surprise appearance at Radio City Music Hall on Friday night to support Hugh Jackman ... while the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has escalated severely.

RR honored his Marvel costar and best mate at the opening night of Hugh's one-man show "From New York, With Love" ... offering a combination of ball-breaking and deep admiration for his fellow actor.

The few minutes were sweet and moving ... but odds are the war between RR's wife and Baldoni was on audience members' minds -- as that got even uglier this week ... and it looks to get worse.

It's worth noting Ryan has only made a few public appearances since the all-out war broke out ... at events without press ... who'd pepper him to address the situation ... much like this one.

Donald Trump may be being hailed by some for saving TikTok amid the U.S. shutdown drama ... but one mega-influencer on the hugely popular app says more people deserve credit -- like 2 billion more!

OnlyFans model and TikTok star Sophie Rain tells TMZ ... she predicts the China-based app won't permanently shut down in the U.S. ... and that's all thanks to the billions of users creating kick-ass content that made the platform an everyday must-have.

Sure, DT has TikTok on a 75-day extension in the U.S. after President Biden refused to enforce the ban prior to leaving office last week ... but, Sophie tells us the entire situation has become too political, strictly for grandstanding -- and it's "silly."

Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori may both have the bodies of a goddess, but can you tell which babe is who? Put on your celeb thinking-cap and knock some 'sense-ori' into you with this tricky hot shots game!

Check out these side-by-side pics ... both ladies stripped down to barely nothin' and accessorized with some ski masks, but who's who?

Both gals are total knockouts and even share similar style aesthetics, but can you distinguish Bianca's assets from Kim's?

You better have come to play ... Hit up our gallery and see if you've got what it takes to score these two bodacious babes!

A$AP Rocky is staying positive despite going to court on a gun charge that could put him behind bars ... just take a listen to what he had to say after the first day of his gun trial.

The rapper broke his silence Friday after court wrapped, sending a three-word message to his fans.

Rocky tried to sneak out a side door to avoid a throng of reporters and paparazzi ... but TMZ has the first video of him speaking since his trial began.

Atlanta rapper and DJ Unk has died ... TMZ has learned.

Unk's wife, Sherkita Long-Platt, posted on Facebook Friday afternoon ... "Please respect me and my family. I just lost my husband and my kids just lost their father. Our life will never be the same. I LOVE YOU ANTHONY FOREVER"

Unk -- legal name Anthony Leonard Platt -- started out in the late 1990s, eventually forming Southern Style DJs with DJ Montay and DJ Jelly, throwing parties around Georgia. Unk got signed to Big Oomp Records in 2000, along with Montay.

Karma is a dish best-served cold, ice cold ... just ask the naughty patron at the center of the now-viral ice penis saga.

TMZ broke the story ... an unruly bar customer got intoxicated and argued with others at the East Village Pub & Eatery in Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada earlier this month, which resulted in the man getting pinned down by security guards on an icy sidewalk ... leaving his penis inadvertently stuck to ice on the ground and causing an impromptu circumcision, of sorts.

Now, in new video obtained by TMZ of the incident, it's apparent just how belligerent the patron was before his detainment and subsequent cold awakening.

Travis Kelce and Dante Hall have a lot in common -- the two are not only Chiefs legends ... they're both also huge Taylor Swift fans!!

The Human Joystick revealed to TMZ Sports this week that after he met the popstar at one of Kansas City's recent games ... he considers himself now "an ultimate Swiftie."

Hall told us that wasn't always the case -- "her music just wasn't for me" -- but the way she treated him during their Arrowhead Stadium meetup changed everything.

Well, Trump's first week in office was a thing, and how 'bout Lauren's outfit! So we gotta ask

Julia Fox is known for throwin' people off with her wild styles, but can you find the minor changes in these two shots without trippin'? (There's no doubt this outfit came with a hefty price tag, but make sure you keep an eye out for the other tags 😜).

Earlier this week in The Big Apple, the hot mama left a taping of "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen and flashed her fashion-forward look. Fox rocked a leather corset paired with a wool skirt and pointy heels.

Give it all you got and locate the sneaky switch-ups!

More proof Hollywood is a small town ... the first witness at A$AP Rocky's gun trial was an LAPD officer, who just so happens to be the son of Erika Jayne.

Thomas Zizzo was called to the stand Friday as Rocky's trial got underway in a downtown Los Angeles courthouse ... and he told the jury about his ties to the case.

Turns out, Erika's son was one of the cops who responded to the alleged shooting ... and he testified about what he saw at the scene when he arrived.

A Florida man experienced the shock of his life when he was accidentally shot with his own gun by a police officer during a traffic stop ... and now he's telling TMZ how profoundly this agonizing experience has complicated his career.

Jason Arrington tells us he blacked out when Jacksonville Sheriff's Officer Mindy Cardwell accidentally pulled the trigger as she tried to remove his gun from his waistband ... sending a bullet through his right hip area, exiting near his kneecap. He says his first thought was he would die right then and there.

BTW, he was legally carrying the gun -- a Glock .45 semiautomatic pistol -- which he had let Officer Shaun Lowry know about early on in the December stop, for allegedly running a red light. For everyone's safety, Lowry asked him to step out of the car ... which is when things quickly went south.

Trae Tha Truth says his baby mama tried to teach their daughter he was her enemy ... but now he has full custody of their kid, he's showing her how much he loves her.

The Houston rapper tells TMZ ... his ex, Heather Cuevas, manipulated their daughter Truth into thinking her father wanted nothing to do with her ... but he says that couldn't be further from the truth.

Trae and his lawyer, Stephanie Proffitt, claims Heather's been making a string of false claims against Trae ever since their kid was born ... hoping to make something stick.

Hollywood is setting up shop in Utah ... because celebs are piling into a small ski town for a famous movie festival.

Sundance kicked off Friday and famous folks like Conan O'Brien and Rose Byrne made some of the first appearances.

"Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo made it to the snow-covered town too ... no word if she rode in on a broom.

The infamous raid on Diddy's cell in a New York City jail was spearheaded by the very federal prosecutors who charged the music mogul with sex trafficking and other serious crimes -- at least according to Diddy's lawyers, who say they have the proof!

Diddy's lawyers filed new legal documents flat-out accusing Southern District of New York prosecutors of directing the November 2024 sweep of Diddy's cell with the help of Bureau of Prison correctional officers inside Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

In the docs, Diddy's lawyers point to a meeting between BOP officials and other federal agencies on the morning of the second day of the sweep to discuss a potential search of Diddy's unit ... and they say supervisors from SDNY, including the Diddy trial team's unit chief, weighed in that a search of Diddy's cell was warranted.
