Michael Blackson can't wait to get into the ring after inking a deal with Celebrity Boxing ... and, naturally, he's got his eyes on a bout with fellow comedian Kevin Hart.

The actor and comedian just signed his contract with CB founder Damon Feldman, and they're both pumped, and Michael's trash talking is already on point ... as he's calling out other celebs.

Clearly, he wants a piece of Kevin, first and foremost -- they've had beef in the past, which they ultimately squashed a couple years ago, but it sounds like MB may be reversing course.

Other celebs on Michael's radar include DC Young Fly, DeRay Davis and Katt Williams ... and he's got some choice words for all three.

You know Michael's going to promote the hell out of his eventual fight ... and he's already getting his Don King on.

Pete Davidson and John Mulaney are pushing back the dates for their upcoming shows in Maine as residents deal with the fallout from a mass shooting.

The comedians just announced they are postponing their scheduled weekend shows in Bangor and Portland, roughly 30 miles from where Wednesday's deadly shooting took place.

In a statement on social media, John and Pete say they are "devastated" by the incident and "We are thinking of you all."

As you know ... a gunman went on a shooting rampage Wednesday night at a bowling alley and bar in Lewiston, Maine ... 18 people are dead and 13 more are injured.

The suspected shooter, Robert Card, is still on the loose ... and there's an ever-expanding manhunt.

Meanwhile, residents are being asked to shelter in place as law enforcement tries to find Card.

Chrisean Rock thought she had a real friend in Summer Walker after her baby debacle in Walmart ... but is now second-guessing the "Girls Need Love" singer after being spoofed in a video.

On Thursday, Chrisean went live on IG and called out Summer for DMing her with sweet nothings of support last month ... but says her feelings are now hurt as of result of the video.

A video that made fun of the very same incident Summer reached out for!!! Ouch.

Despite the hurt, the new mother said she wasn't surprised as she's grown used to dealing with cutthroat folks in a cold music industry.

Rock may have a point ... Summer seemed like she was auditioning for Hollywood the way she went all out with her impersonation of Chrisean ... down to the missing tooth and the baby doll with its head dangling!!!

Many fans agreed with Chrisean, they found the skit to be in poor taste, forcing Summer to cite her comedic inspirations -- Dave Chappelle, Bernie Mac, Richard Pryor -- guys who pushed the envelope with their art as her inspiration.

But after seeing Chrisean's response, Summer got defensive and told her to lighten up!!! ... "Sensitive about a tik tok that was viral way before I did it but you aint have no sympathy when you be dragging bitches across the ground."

Pete Davidson y John Mulaney están posponiendo las fechas de sus próximos espectáculos en Maine, ya que los residentes se están ocupando de las secuelas de un tiroteo masivo.

Los comediantes acaban de anunciar que están posponiendo sus shows programados para el fin de semana en Bangor y Portland, aproximadamente a 30 millas de donde tuvo lugar el tiroteo mortal del miércoles.

En un comunicado en las redes sociales de John y Pete dicen que están "devastados" por el incidente y "Estamos pensando en todos ustedes".

Como ustedes ya saben; un hombre armado fue el infame autor de un tiroteo la noche del miércoles en local de bolos y un bar en Lewiston, Maine. 18 personas han muerto y 13 resultaron heridas.

El presunto tirador, Robert Card, sigue suelto y hay una persecución cada vez mayor.

Mientras tanto, a los residentes se les pide que se refugien en el lugar mientras las fuerzas del orden tratan de encontrar a Card.

Chrisean Rock pensó que Summer Walker era una buena amiga después de su debacle con el bebé en Walmart, pero ahora está dudando de la cantante de "Girls Need Love" luego de ser ridiculizada en un video.

El jueves, Chrisean realizó un live de Instagram y llamó a Summer para agradecerle por el apoyo el mes pasado, sin embargo, ahora está herida luego de ver un video...

¡Un video en el que se burló del mismo incidente! Ouch.

A pesar del daño, la nueva madre dijo que no estaba sorprendida, ya que está acostumbrada a tratar con gente despiadada en una industria musical fría.

Rock puede tener un punto, Summer parecía como si estuviera audicionando para Hollywood por la forma en que llevó a cabo su imitación, ¡se fijo incluso en el diente que le falta y el muñeco con la cabeza colgando!

Muchos fans estuvieron de acuerdo con Chrisean, encontraron el sketch de mal gusto, obligando a Summer a citar sus inspiraciones cómicas —Dave Chappelle, Bernie Mac, Richard Pryor— básicamente, chicos que empujaron los límites.

Pero después de ver la respuesta de Chrisean, Summer se puso a la defensiva y le dijo que se relajara: "Te pones sensible por un TikTok que fue viral mucho antes de que yo lo hiciera, pero no tienes simpatía cuando arrastras perras por el suelo".

Nikki Glaser is proving she's the ultra Taylor Swift fan, shelling out big bucks for the pop star's concert tickets.

The comedian appeared as a guest on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" Monday -- and admitted she anted up an eye-popping $25K for tickets to go see Taylor's super successful "Eras" tour last summer.

Chuckling, Glaser told Kelly, "I just want to say that it was a conscious decision because I went to nine "Eras" tour shows this year. "Like, when I'm not on tour, I go to her tour."

Glaser went on, "It just fills my life up with so much joy. I'm in my late 30s. I just feel like, I don't have kids, and I did the math and if I had kids, I'd be paying for dance camp and swim lessons."

For context, tickets for Taylor's shows go for between $49 to $499 a pop, depending on the seating section. Resale tickets can range from $500 to $7,000 each, but that's just chump change for die-hard Swifties like Glaser.

During her sit-down with Kelly, Glaser also joked that she saved all of her money to freeze her eggs, but then decided to spend the dough on Taylor's concerts, describing her actions as going "buck wild."

Taylor has also been going wild lately, turning the world upside down after she and Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, revealed they're now an item. She has recently attended Travis' NFL games, rubbing elbows with his parents in their suite at Arrowhead Stadium in K.C.

Everyone is now wondering are wedding bells in the future for the lovebirds.

Nikki Glaser está demostrando que es la mayor fan de Taylor Swift, pues desembolsó muchísimo dinero para conseguir entradas al concierto de la estrella del pop.

La comediante apareció como invitada en "The Kelly Clarkson Show" el lunes y admitió que pagó la impresionante cifra de $25K para ir a ver a Taylor a su exitosa gira "Eras".

Riéndose, Glaser le dijo a Kelly: "Sólo quiero decir que fue una decisión consciente porque fui a nueve conciertos de la gira "Eras" este año. "Cuando no estoy de gira, voy a su gira".

Glaser prosiguió: "Me llena la vida de tanta alegría. Tengo treinta y tantos años. No tengo hijos, e hice las cuentas y si tuviera hijos, estaría pagando por el campamento de baile y las clases de natación".

Para contextualizar, las entradas para los conciertos de Taylor cuestan entre 49 y 499 dólares cada uno, dependiendo de la ubicación. Las entradas de reventa pueden oscilar entre los 500 y 7.000 dólares, pero eso no es nada para Swifties acérrimos como Glaser.

Durante su conversación con Kelly, Glaser también bromeó diciendo que ahorró todo su dinero para congelar sus óvulos, pero luego decidió gastar la pasta en los conciertos de Taylor, describiendo sus acciones como "descabelladas", en español.

Taylor también ha estado actuando de forma salvaje últimamente, poniendo el mundo al revés después de revelar que sí tiene algo con el jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce. La cantante ha estado en los últimos partidos de la NFL de Travis, codeándose con sus padres en su suite en el estadio Arrowhead en Kansas City.

Todo el mundo se pregunta si habrá boda en el futuro de los tortolitos.

Dave Chappelle has angered many in the Jewish community after his remarks on Israel -- but one group advocating for them is extending an olive branch if he's willing to chat.

American Jewish Committee spokesperson Richard Hirschhaut tells TMZ ... they'd love to have a sit-down with Dave to help him understand why so many people were upset, and how he can better navigate this topic next time around.

The AJC, a global advocacy organization, says Dave's first attempt to discuss Israel-Palestine -- during his Boston show last week -- missed the mark and adds ... "Dave Chappelle prides himself on precision of language and moral clarity. His comments uttered during last Friday's show at TD Garden failed on both counts."

They tell us his initial condemnation of Hamas was great -- but that he should have stopped there. AJC continues, "By criticizing Israel's retaliatory strikes and accusing the US of aiding the slaughter of innocent people, Chappelle turns truth on its head. Make no mistake, the slaughter of innocents is precisely what Hamas did on October 7th."

Of course, there've been innocent Palestinians who've been killed in the aftermath of all this as well -- upwards of 4,300, in fact, depending on which tallies you look at. The original Hamas attack claimed around 1,400 or so innocent Israeli lives.

In any case, the AJC thinks DC needs to be more precise with his language -- and they also believe he should know better at such a volatile time. According to them, his encouraging of people to shout "Free Palestine" creates a hostile and dangerous environment for Jewish people, and they say if that happens again, it's incumbent on him to ask what that means.

In their mind, the answer is obvious ... Free Palestine boils down to eliminating Israel.

Still, Richard says his org "would welcome an opportunity to meet with Chappelle and his team in an effort to help deepen his understanding of the current situation and enable him to be a source of more light than heat going forward."

Based on Dave's track record with other controversies ... the AJC probably shouldn't hold its collective breath. He doesn't tend to apologize, nor does he often feel the need to sit down with anyone after something like this.

Bad Bunny se hizo cargo de "SNL" el sábado por la noche a lo grande, como anfitrión y como invitado musical, compartiendo escenario con otras grandes celebridades.

Su monólogo de apertura fue hilarante; Pedro Pascal sirvió de "traductor" para Bad Bunny, quien, fiel a su estilo, pronunció su monólogo en español. Bad Bunny ha dicho en repetidas ocasiones, que no le gusta complacer al público angloparlante, ya que piensa en español, come en español y canta en español.

Todo fue muy gracioso, Pedro le pidió a Bad Bunny que mostrara una foto vergonzosa de él, pero el rapero respondió: "No se pudo encontrar nada".

Los comentarios de Dave Chappelle sobre Israel/Palestina provocaron que algunos miembros del público se marcharan luego de decir que Israel está equivocado en este conflicto.

El comediante hizo los comentarios inflamatorios jueves durante un show en Boston (donde los teléfonos celulares fueron confiscados) y de acuerdo con el Wall Street Journal, se metió en el tema de Oriente Medio hacia el final de su set, donde parecía mayormente del lado de Palestina.

Según personas que estaban presentes, Dave empezó diciendo que los estudiantes que apoyan públicamente a Palestina no deberían perder sus ofertas de trabajo (algo que ha estado ocurriendo últimamente), lo que le llevó a abordar de lleno la lucha que está teniendo lugar en el extranjero.

Al parecer, condenó el ataque terrorista contra Israel que fue llevado a cabo por Hamás, pero luego dijo que la respuesta a los palestinos en Gaza ha sido desproporcionada, acusando a Israel de cometer crímenes de guerra con su campaña de bombardeos e incluso afirmando que los EE.UU. era responsable de ayudar e instigar "la matanza de civiles inocentes".

En medio de estos comentarios, alguien del público le dijo que se callara, lo que al parecer le molestó y le hizo responder, aunque no está claro lo que dijo exactamente.

Sin embargo, Lo que WSJ dice que se comunicó, fue que Dave estaba enojado por que Israel cortó el agua y la electricidad en Gaza al mismo tiempo que atacaba con explosivos.

Como resultado de esto, dividió a la audiencia, algunos aplaudieron "Free Palestine" y otros se opusieron con preguntas sobre Hamás. Al final, algunas personas se levantaron y se fueron. Dave, mientras tanto, supuestamente terminó diciendo que dos errores no hacen un acierto.

Dave Chappelle's comments on Israel-Palestine caused some attendees of a recent comedy show of his to walk out -- and it's because he said Israel is in the wrong in this conflict.

The comedian made the inflammatory remarks Thursday during a show in Boston -- where cell phones were confiscated -- and according to the Wall Street Journal ... he got into the Middle East topic toward the end of his set, where he seemed to mostly side with Palestine.

Per people who were apparently in attendance, DC launched in on this by first saying students who are publicly supporting Palestine shouldn't lose job offers -- which has been a thing lately -- which then led him to fully address the fighting going on overseas.

He reportedly condemned the terrorist attack on Israel that was carried out by Hamas, but then said the response/retaliation to Palestinians in Gaza has been disproportionate -- accusing Israel of committing war crimes with their bombing campaign ... and even claiming the U.S. was responsible for aiding and abetting "the slaughter of innocent civilians."

Amid these remarks, somebody in the audience told him to shut it ... which apparently ticked him off and caused him to lash out -- although what exactly he said isn't clear.

What WSJ says was communicated, generally, though was that Dave was angry about Israel cutting off water and electricity to Gaza ... while continuing to pound them with explosives.

As a result of this, it divided the audience ... some cheered "Free Palestine" and others pushed back with questions about Hamas. Eventually, some people straight up got up and left. Dave, meanwhile, supposedly ended by saying that two wrongs don't make a right.

Bad Bunny took over 'SNL' Saturday night in a big way, hosting AND performing as the musical guest, with lots of celeb firepower behind him.

His opening monologue was hilarious ... Pedro Pascal served as a "translator" for BB, who, true to form, delivered his monologue en Español. Bad Bunny has said repeatedly, he does not pander to English audiences. He says he thinks in Spanish, eats in Spanish and sings in Spanish.

Pretty funny ... Pedro asked Bad Bunny to show an embarrassing pic of him but BB replied, "Nothing could be found."

Bad Bunny brought his GF, Kendall Jenner, to 'SNL' .... she didn't appear on the show, but they were super tight during the after-party.

BB, Kendall and the cast, along with guest stars Pedro Pascal, Mick Jagger and Lady Gaga, all hit up L'Avenue in NYC after the show.

Bad Bunny and Kendall were dressed casually... she was wearing a leather jacket and boots as they walked hand in hand into the bash.

Gaga's entrance was revelatory. She was also hand in hand with her ex, Michael Polansky. The 2 have been spotted together recently but it seems pretty clear ... they're giving it another try.

Marlon Wayans says he should have never been hit with a citation for disturbing the peace at an airport earlier this year ... claiming it should be thrown out because his reaction was justified after being racially targeted.

The comedian's attorney filed to dismiss the case Thursday, saying the United Airlines agent at the Denver airport targeted him back in June based on his race.

Remember, Marlon wasn't allowed to board his flight to Kansas City with 3 bags, and was removed from the aircraft after getting into it with the agent while trying to consolidate to 2 bags.

His attorney also said several white passengers with 3 bags were allowed to board the plane while his client was receiving the heat.

Marlon was hit with a citation for disturbing the peace ... but his attorney says Denver prosecutors would be turning a blind eye to blatant racial targeting if they don't dismiss the case.

Marlon joined us on "TMZ Live" just days after the incident, breaking down what happened from his perspective -- and telling us the company did reach out to him, but only to back their own policy.

A woman says she spent 15 years getting payback from a man who spit on her friend long, long ago ... doing everything from spoiling shows to torpedoing his wedding.

TikToker Linda Solley Hurd says it all started a decade and a half ago at a comedy show, where one of her friends accidentally spilled a drink on the guy -- claiming he called her a "stupid fat b****" and spit on her for additional bad measure.

Linda was out for revenge! She found his Facebook page ... and after some digging, discovered his favorite shows were "The Walking Dead" and "Breaking Bad" -- 2 shows that you'd never want spoiled, right?

She decided to torture the dude by creating fake accounts and spamming him with spoilers as soon as each episode would drop.

It didn't stop with the Rick Grimes & Walter White rage ... she says she ended up in the same class as him not long after, getting more info on him and doing even MORE trolling.

Linda says she backed off for around 8 years ... but then learned the guy got engaged to a friend of a friend of hers, so she came out of trolling retirement for more revenge.

She gave the guy's fiancee the tea on what he had done to her friend, and apparently, that was enough for her to pull the plug on the wedding.

It's enough to make you stop drinking.

Adam Sandler está definitivamente en sintonía con su público. Hizo una pausa en un show para ayudar a un fan que sufría una emergencia médica en la multitud.

El comediante estaba actuando en el SAP Center de San José el miércoles por la noche cuando todo se detuvo. Nos dicen que Adam escuchó a un miembro de la audiencia gritando "emergencia médica" y detuvo todo el asunto para asegurarse de que reciba asistencia.

No mucho después, las luces se encendieron y todo el mundo esperó hasta que los paramédicos fueron capaces de llegar hasta la fan en peligro. Adam ayudó a guiar a los médicos hasta la persona.

Fuentes relacionadas con el show le informan a TMZ que la actuación estuvo en suspenso durante unos diez minutos y el hombre que tenía la emergencia estaba deshidratado.
