Celebrity Feuds

Warning: Spoilers for "Outer Banks" season 4 ahead ...

"Outer Banks" returned with new season 4 episodes last week ... yet all people can talk about is a rumored feud between costars Rudy Pankow and Madison Bailey.

But, it seems the gossip is a bunch of hogwash, as sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... there is no feud or beef between Rudy and Madison.

Still, fans seemed convinced when word started circulating about an alleged rift between the 2 actors ... with some claiming Rudy and Madison stopped interacting as much IRL and on social media after getting into new relationships.

Ice Cube has been questioned to oblivion about making up with his ex-Westside Connection groupmate Mack 10 ... and it just may happen ... if a passive blip of body language is to be believed!!!

Bootleg Kev shot his Hail Mary WS Connection question in a new interview with Cube after swelling the Don Mega's head with inquiries about his other past supergroups, N.W.A. and Mt. Westmore.

Cube bluntly told Kev "I don't know" with a shrug in regards to the reunion ... which is a total improvement after he completely shut down the last time this was a topic!!!

Martha Stewart's ex-husband and his wife are speaking out ... saying he was in an "abusive" relationship with the businesswoman -- this, after Martha admitted to cheating on him.

Shyla Nelson Stewart -- wife of Andrew Stewart, who was married to Martha from 1961 to 1990 -- released a statement on Facebook before the documentary "Martha" dropped on Netflix ... saying she and Andrew have been in a loving relationship for more than a decade.

Shyla says she and her husband enjoy a happy blended family life ... with their kids from their previous relationships and grandkids bringing them immense joy.

Jimmy Kimmel got choked up during the opening monologue of his late-night show, telling his audience it was "terrible" that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

The comedian came out onstage Wednesday evening for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" one day after Trump beat Harris at the polls, delivering a somber speech that nearly made Jimmy cry.

Jimmy said it was a "terrible night for women, for children, for hundreds of thousands of hard-working immigrants," briefly pausing to fight back tears.

The Zach Bryan and Brianna LaPaglia split just got a whole lot uglier ... with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards releasing a ruthless diss track aimed at the country music star.

The song -- titled "The Smallest Man" -- dropped Tuesday night ... with Portnoy and Richards continuing to show support for their "BFF's" podcast cohost following her bombshell split from Bryan.

In the song ... the duo makes reference to the country music star's 2023 arrest, being active on dating apps and accusing the singer of spreading STDs.

Martha Stewart's criticism of Ryan Reynolds' "very serious" off-camera persona should be taken with a grain of salt ... given the fact the actor's been quite vocal about his past anxiety hurdles.

A source close to Ryan tells TMZ ... the actor has made no secret about his anxious and racing mind ... which means sometimes he shuts down around people.

As our source puts it ... Blake Lively's husband likes being quiet over being "on" ALL the time.

It's been two years since Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole in practice ... but the two clearly haven't entirely buried the hatchet -- 'cause the NBA stars got testy with each other during Monday night's game.

Poole and his Washington Wizards hosted Green's Golden State Warriors ... and unsurprisingly, the former teammates taunted each other during the Dubs' 125-112 victory.

They had several exchanges in the contest ... and at one point, Wizards rookie Carlton "Bub" Carrington started chatting with the four-time champ -- before Poole intervened and put a stop to it.

Drake made his feelings toward DeMar DeRozan crystal clear on Saturday ... targeting the former Toronto Raptor in an apparent retaliation for appearing in Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" music video.

DeRozan's Sacramento Kings were in Toronto to play against the Raptors ... and, despite suiting up for Drake's beloved team from 2009 to 2018, the 6ix God gave him far from a warm welcome.

The night began on a high note with the Raptors' jersey retirement ceremony for Vince Carter ... but when Drake was asked on the TSN broadcast if DeRozan should have his jersey in the rafters, too, he threw some serious shade.

Sharon Osbourne is not a big fan of Simon Cowell after their publicized falling out ... but she doesn't care if her daughter Kelly is chummy with the guy, she tells TMZ.

We ran into SO while she was leaving Kelly's 40th birthday party in Hollywood ... and we just had to know what she thought about Kelly and Simon being buddies after KO talked about it in a recent interview.

When asked her 2 cents on the friendship with Simon -- who, again, SO feuded with and had a falling out from their 'X Factor UK' and "America’s Got Talent" days ... Sharon told us it's "great" ... adding, "I'm happy that she does."

Tyler, The Creator cursed out Taylor Swift's Swifties for bringing up his old lyrics in hopes of getting him canceled ... he's doubling down on his wildest words!!!

On Halloween, Tyler surprised his Boston fans with a “Chromakopia” album concert to promote his latest project after he defiantly released it Monday -- against music industry standards.

The release shot Tyler to the top of the Global Spotify Artist chart for 3 consecutive days ... knocking Taylor of that perch, and likely sparking the ire of Swifties everywhere.

But, he fired back defiantly ... addressing Taylor's army while on top of the Converse Flagship Store -- "I got Swifties all mad at me with their racist ass ... Bitch, go listen to 'Tron Cat' -- I don't give a f***!!!"

11:31 AM PT -- Jenna Dewan's fiancé, Steve Kazee, is clarifying his cryptic laughing post he shared in the aftermath of Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz's split ... defending his upload had nothing to do with JD's ex.

Steve posted on his Instagram Stories Wednesday amid the growing controversy ... explaining he was simply laughing about his houseplants.

He wrote ... "A guy can't laugh about a houseplant on Tik Tok in todays [sic] world I see ..."

Naturi Naughton hates to see the angry sparks fly between 50 Cent and Omari Hardwick in the aftermath of the successful "Power" universe they built together ... but she doesn't believe for one second Omari "overvalues" his talent!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Naturi at The I Will Graduate Awards in Brooklyn last night and she tells us the recent series finale of "Power Book II: Ghost" had her highly emotional ... no different than the millions of fans who tuned in.

Remember, her costar Gianni Paolo told us their final cliffhangers dominated the ratings game without benefiting from the Hollywood treatment -- and Naturi hints her character Tasha St. Patrick could resurface down the line 👀!!!

50 Cent is no longer cool with Omari Hardwick, the former face of his "POWER" universe ... simply put, he can't associate himself with all the diva behavior!!!

"The Breakfast Club" quizzed 50 about the current standing of his relationship after Omari insinuated over the summer the Diamond-selling rapper was the reason his Starz paychecks weren't anything to brag over!!!

50 feels Omari overvalues himself all because he hasn't seen, heard, or smelled any buzz from his projects after his "Ghost" character transitioned from his series in 2020.

Sandra "Pepa" Denton gave her former groupmate DJ Spinderella the shock of a lifetime at her annual Halloween party -- but in a good way!!!

We got the proof ... on Sunday, Pepa crashed Spinderella's annual Halloween Boo Bash and stuck around to perform their classic cuts "Push It," "Shoop" and "Whatta Man"!!!

Pepa played the cowgirl and Spinderella was dressed as the Beetlejuice ghost host with the most when she hopped out the DJ booth to perform her "Whatta Man" verse.

Amber Rose says you can't even joke anymore without making international news ... saying she wasn't really throwing shade at Beyoncé -- she was just trollin' a friend.

The model and TV personality was out in full costume for a Hollywood Halloween party when photogs caught up with her ... and, they had to ask about her claims that the Queen Bey copied her speech for a recent Kamala Harris rally.

ICYMI ... Beyoncé spoke at Harris' rally in Houston Friday night alongside her Destiny's Child compatriot Kelly Rowland -- where she said she wasn't speaking as a celebrity or a politician, but instead as a mother.

Charlamagne tha God and Anderson Cooper found themselves in a tense faceoff debating CNN's coverage of former President Donald Trump ... with the radio host suggesting the network doesn't call out 45 for his "fascist" behavior.

The war of words took place during Thursday evening's broadcast, with the CNN broadcaster and the radio personality getting into it on how Trump is discussed versus Vice President Kamala Harris.

As Charlamagne put it ... CNN hadn't held Trump's feet to the fire for the allegedly "fascist" things he's said during his bid for reelection ... including his previous call to "terminate the U.S. Constitution" and "overthrow the election."
