Comedy

Bert Kreischer's clearing up a wild story about Tom Brady's roast, saying he did NOT have cocaine on him -- like everyone in the arena suspected -- but admits playing it up for the crowd!

The comedian appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Thursday night, and spoke about an unaired moment that got the Kia Forum audience jumping -- he showed them a bag full of a white substance and implied he was holding a bit of blow.

Kreischer explains he had a bag full of nicotine pouches, which he put in a clear plastic baggie -- making it look like coke -- and placed it in his pocket.

Tom Brady was PISSED Robert Kraft caught a stray during Sunday's G.R.O.A.T. ... and now we know why -- roasters were explicitly told NOT to make any happy ending jokes, a directive Jeff Ross ignored!

Comedian Andrew Schulz, who was a part of the show, provided a bit of a peak behind the curtain, revealing massage cracks were out of bounds.

"I think that was 100% real," Schulz said on his "Flagrant" show, explaining, "The reason why I think it's real is because they told us no jokes about happy endings with Robert Kraft."

Matt Rife says getting canceled is the least of his worries -- 'cause it's not a real thing in his eyes ... and he'll joke about what he wants, although DV seems to be off the table.

The comedian did a sold out show this week at the Hollywood Bowl, where he was hop-scotching through material and touching on some polarizing topics ... like trans jokes, etc. While he was going, he reportedly said he wasn't afraid of backlash anymore, noting it washes away.

MR is said to have been going back and forth on things that were okay and weren't okay to talk about in public and is quoted as saying, "What am I gonna do? Get canceled? Cool, I’ll do another Bowl show, awesome."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard believes in her heart of hearts she's Taylor Swift's new muse -- she's convinced one of the singer's new songs is all about her, or at the least ... inspired by her.

Sources connected to Gypsy tell TMZ ... GRB thinks Taylor’s new song "Fresh Out The Slammer" -- from her 'Tortured Poets Department' album -- might be about her December release from prison.

The reason she even suspects that ... we're told Gypsy sees a lot of similarities between the song lyrics and her real life -- almost to a T.

7:05 PM PT -- Jerry Seinfeld's changing his tune on Howard Stern, and he's issuing a mea culpa to his old pal. He tells TMZ ... "I really feel bad for what I said about my friend Howard Stern in a conversation with David Spade and Dana Carvey, talking about the glut of comedy podcasts."

He adds, "I meant to say he must feel surrounded but I said 'outflanked' which sounded terrible and insulting. And of course, none of these little shows are any threat to his giant show. Anyway, it was bad and I’m sorry, Howie. I still love you. Please forgive me."

Jerry Seinfeld acknowledges Howard Stern is the OG king of sitting around and recording conversations for air -- but says he just ain't all that funny in the age of modern podcasting.

Madelyn Cline looked pretty confused while trying to get the heck outta Dodge this week ... pulling on the wrong car door multiple times while leaving her hotel post-Met Gala.

Check out this hilarious video of the "Outer Banks" star leaving her luxury hotel in New York City, rolling bag in hand and paparazzi cameras flashing away. She heads toward the curb and yanks open the door to a four-door sedan ... only to realize it ain't her ride!

Cline closes the door quickly and heads to the next ride, a big black SUV. She opens the door ... and, again, it wasn't for Madelyn. Two for two ... whoopsie.

Jaden Smith isn't as skilled on his skateboard as he might've thought ... brutally wiping out during a night ride in NYC.

Will Smith's son was cruising Monday night on his skateboard -- with his bodyguard jogging alongside him for a couple blocks. What's really interesting is Jaden skateboarding amounts to the most chill Met Gala after-party we've seen ... he was actually chatting with photogs about what a good time he'd just had at the fashion event, which he attended with sister Willow Smith.

The good vibes didn't last long though, as Jaden took a tumble mid-chat! Check it out ... he falls to the side after picking up speed.

Druski's crushing the dreams of many men by going public with his romance with Rubi Rose, and doing so with a serious tongue kiss -- and while some think it's giving skit, we're hearing it's the real deal.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ Hip Hop ... Druski and Rubi are still in the budding stages of their new romance ... and they're taking things slow, but all the stars seem to be in alignment!!!

They recently hit it off during a trip to the Dominican Republic for a mutual friend's birthday, realized they had a bond and wanted to take their relationship to the next level.

Nikki Glaser's standing by her Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen divorce jokes ... saying she thinks the topic's fair game at a roast -- and joking Gisele actually had it coming.

We caught up with the controversial comedian outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in Hollywood Tuesday, and asked her if she thinks Brady's roast panel hit the divorce jokes a little too hard ... which is a feeling many had after each person hammered the topic home.

Glaser says she tried not to go too hard on GB ... and, she actually hopes the supermodel can forgive her one day if she's upset ... 'cause she says she loves her a ton.

"Bad Boys: Ride Or Die" isn't the only heat wave Martin Lawrence will be commanding this summer -- TMZ Hip Hop can reveal the comedic legend is returning to his stand-up roots with a huge tour!!!

Martin's "Y'all Know What It Is!" tour will kick off the laughs July 20 with several other heavy-hitters joining him onstage for the 36-city event.

Deon Cole, DC Young Fly, Jess Hilarious, Adele Givens, B. Simone, Chico Bean, Ms. Pat, Rickey Smiley and more will appear throughout various cities during the nationwide tour.

Bridget Moynahan is smiling on the outside -- showing up for her costar Tom Selleck's event in NYC -- but she's also strongly hinting she's pissed about her ex, Tom Brady's roast, where their split was fodder for savage jokes.

The actress popped up Tuesday night at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y for a discussion about her "Blue Bloods" costar Selleck's new book, "You Never Know: A Memoir" in New York.

Moynahan seemed happy and content as she posed for photogs, and even spoke to a live audience about his book and the recent canceling of their CBS show after 14 seasons.

Steve-O is leaving Los Angeles -- no less than a week after announcing he was hightailing it out of town ... the guy's put his abode on the market, and it's actually a damn good deal.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... the 'Jackass' star recently listed his Hollywood Hills home, this as he gets ready to completely shift his life over to Tennessee to reap the tax benefits and adjust to a new way of life -- including owning a new ranch he showed off.

Of course, with the purchase of one property ... he's looking to unload his crib in L.A., and he's listing it for a cool $1.799 mil.

Kim Kardashian getting booed at Tom Brady's roast came and went in the live broadcast -- and you're not gonna find it again in the current version on the platform ... it's been edited.

Indeed ... the awkward moment from Sunday's show -- where Kim was introduced by Kevin Hart, only to be met by a cascade of boos from the audience as she got to the podium -- no longer exists on the since-posted iteration of the roast.

It's only a few seconds that have been cut out ... now, instead of Kim standing there and shooting a look at the crowd -- with someone onstage telling them to settle down -- it just seamlessly gets into her material ... with KK taking a light-hearted dig at Kevin's height.

Bill Maher says he's ready to drop the mic and walk away from stand-up comedy for good -- and it's because he says he wants to pursue other ventures ... including more podcasting.

The 'Real Time' host was recently chopping it up with Jerry Seinfeld on his 'Club Random' podcast -- and they started discussing the possibility of Bill hanging it up on the stage ... namely, him giving up telling jokes in front of a crowd under a spotlight.

As Bill explains ... he loves the craft and has been doing it for years -- but, like with anything, you gotta stay in practice to be good ... and it sounds like BM's a little tired.

Turns out not everyone knows Travis and Jason Kelce ... and actress Krysten Ritter is one of those people, 'cause the "Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune" contestant had NO IDEA who the famous bros were during a recent episode!

The "Jessica Jones" actress appeared on the long-running game show on Monday, alongside Sarah Levy from "Schitt's Creek" and designer Christian Siriano ... when they were confronted with the seemingly simple puzzle.

The category was "Family" ... and as the letters nearly filled the entire puzzle, it was clear Ritter wasn't hip to the NFL's most famous siblings.

El abucheo hacia Kim Kardashian en el especial de Tom Brady desapareció en un abrir y cerrar de ojos y ya no lo encontrarán en la versión actual de la plataforma, pues ha sido editado.

De hecho, el incómodo momento del show del domingo, cuando Kim fue presentada por Kevin Hart y recibió una lluvia de abucheos cuando llegó al podio, ya no existe en la versión publicada desde entonces del show.

Son solo unos pocos segundos los que cortaron. Ahora, en lugar de verla de pie y disparando una mirada a la multitud mientras alguien en el escenario le dice las personas que se calmen, solo se ve a Kim diciendo directamente sus líneas contra Kevin.
