Kesha tried to pull off a gas station photo shoot -- while seemingly jabbing at Katy Perry -- but the manager wasn't having it, and told her and the photog to get the hell out!!!

The "TiK ToK" singer pulled into a Sinclair gas station Thursday afternoon in L.A., and started posing for photos in a red cowboy hat, matching red mini-skirt, thigh-high boots and a small black purse.

Kesha was also wearing a tiny white tank top with "LOL" written on it ... which certainly plays like a callback to her recent tweet that fans believe is her reaction to Katy Perry collabing with Kesha's old nemesis Dr. Luke.

The "Hawk Tuah" Girl's spit take is spinning pure gold -- the hat company she partnered with is raking in tens of thousands of dollars selling a ton of apparel featuring her (in)famous phrase!

Haliey Welch -- who's NSFW street interview catapulted her into the internet stratosphere -- partnered with Fathead Threads in the aftermath of going viral, and they've plastered her lubricated phrase on everything.

Now, the company's owner Jason Poteete told Rolling Stone they've sold approximately 2,000 hats so far -- the cheapest of which is retailing at $32.78. They've already sold out of a signed version they were selling for $50.

"Hawk Tuah" officially made its way into the MLB on Wednesday night ... when during a broadcast of the Braves vs. Cardinals game, an announcer actually said the now-viral phrase live on-air!

It all happened during the second inning of the team's doubleheader at Busch Stadium ... when Atlanta's announcers were talking about some saliva Alec Burleson had just leaked from his mouth.

The guys noted the St. Louis outfielder didn't quite clear his shoulder with his spit while at home plate -- and they went on to have a spirited convo about it.

Comedian Aries Spears is urging Black men to drop any preconceived, homophobic notions about colonoscopies, and get the potentially lifesaving procedure done ... just like he did.

The "MADtv" alum posted an update Tuesday from his hospital bed, and revealed doctors found 2 polyps during his colonoscopy. In his caption, Aries admitted he was previously worried about the procedure ... confessing he'd rescheduled his appointment out of fear doctors would stick a massive camera up his butt.

Aries cited homophobia in the Black community as the reason more Black guys aren't getting the health screening done.

Morgan Wallen got a face full of thong during a recent concert, when a fan threw the underwear garment at him as he performed on stage ... and it's all on video!!!

It's pretty funny ... Morgan was doing his thing at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis when all of a sudden a blue thong comes flying towards him, landing on his face -- with a little coverage from his hat.

The panties carom off Morgan's dome and then he catches them with one hand like Randy Moss before finishing the lyric like nothing happened. We'll admit ... it's all pretty smooth.

Jerry Seinfeld once again got heckled by pro-Palestine protesters in Australia -- and he once again let 'em have it from the stage ... telling them they're going against their own cause.

The comedian was performing live in Melbourne Saturday -- and just like last week, he got interrupted in the middle of his set by folks in the audience who shouted things like "Free Palestine" and "you support genocide" ... among other phrases meant to express solidarity with the people in Gaza.

As we've seen, Jerry hasn't taken too kindly to these outbursts -- and here, it was more of the same ... Jerry went off on the protesters, mercilessly mocking and dressing them out.

Taylor Swift's mixing business and pleasure -- finally bringing Travis Kelce out onstage with her in London Sunday ... and, we gotta say he nailed the choreography.

The singer-songwriter took the stage in England's capital Sunday -- her third show this weekend -- and, her footballer boyfriend went from spectator to spectacle ... hitting the stage in a tuxedo and top hat.

This all went down during "The Tortured Poets Department" part of her set ... as part of the intro for "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" she pretended to throw a tantrum and collapse to the stage.

Screw all the important stuff Bill Maher says ... his interview Friday night with Jiminy Glick was howlingly funny ... and you are hereby dared to watch and not lose it with laughter.

The 'Real Time' host turned the tables during the one-on-one interview segment of the show. Bill wanted to plug his new, New York Times best-selling book, "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You," so he decided to be the interview subject.

He chose to be interviewed by Jiminy Glick (we know, it's really Martin Short,) which is a funny idea. After all, a little plug, a few laughs ... at least that was the plan.

Stormy Daniels has gone from testifying in open court to speaking her truth onstage ... 'cause she's dived head-first into stand-up comedy -- and, TMZ's got the video.

The porn star-turned-key Trump trial witness took the stage in New Orleans Wednesday night for her show "Stormy Daniels' One-Night Stand" ... and it seems to have gone well based on the crowd reaction, who sounded psyched to see her.

SD got a rousing ovation at AllWays Lounge & Cabaret in the Big Easy -- much appreciated, 'cause she jokes she needs the love ... saying even though NOLA's one of the most dangerous U.S. cities, it's the first time she's gone bulletproof vest-free in public in months.

Howie Mandel is setting the record straight on his wife's "tipsy" fall in Las Vegas, which left her in a pool of blood ... he says she wasn't drunk, she was just feeling the effects of some marijuana gummies!!!

The "America's Got Talent" judge joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and told us the real story behind his wife Terry's nasty spill in their hotel room at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Howie's clearing the air here because he and his wife are upset some media outlets claimed she was drunk when she fell ... an inference after Howie told "Live With Kelly and Mark" his wife was "tipsy" after a night of too much partying.

Looks like what happens in Vegas didn't quite stay there for Howie Mandel ... who spilled the beans on his wife's wild night out and the gruesome facial injury that followed.

Howie recounted this wild story Monday on "Live with Mark and Kelly" -- where he was chatting up the hosts and telling them about his wife Terry taking a tumble in their hotel room during a recent trip to Vegas.

Watch ... Howie says Terry ended up falling and smacking her face -- which resulted in her skull being exposed and blood pooling around her -- and he showed off photos of her injury.

Jerry Seinfeld went to town on a pro-Palestine heckler who tried to ruffle his feathers during his show in Australia -- and the whole thing is pretty brutal ... for the heckler, that is.

The incident was captured on video by the Australian Jewish Association -- showing JS roast the hell out of a dude in the crowd at his Sydney show Sunday night ... when the guy interrupted Jerry to shout, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

The crowd was definitely on Jerry's side -- demanding the protester leave ... chanting "Jerry, Jerry" in solidarity with the comedian .... who spotlighted the heckler, sarcastically joking, "We have a genius, ladies and gentlemen. He solved the Middle East crisis!"

Richard Pryor's former L.A. home -- the infamous spot where he set himself on fire in 1980 -- just sold for a cool $3,619,000.

The Northridge home was on the market for only 3 months by ex-NFL player turned Hollywood writer Rashard Mendenhall -- netting him a considerable profit, as he'd purchased it for $2.5M in 2017.

It wasn't exactly what Rashard had hoped for -- he initially listed the home at $4,236,000, a nod to his NFL career rushing total of 4,236 yards -- but it's still a pretty sweet deal.

Hiram Kasten -- a force on the New York City comedy scene in the 1970s and '80s who appeared on "Seinfeld" -- has died.

The actor-comedian passed away Sunday after battling various illnesses including prostate cancer ... according to an obituary posted to his official Facebook page.

In the obituary, Kasten's remembered as a hilarious comedian, charming guy and terrific family man who rose to fame during New York City's comedy boom of the 1980s.

Jeff Ross says Tom Brady really is the GOAT for letting millions of people have a laugh at his expense ... telling TMZ Sports the future Hall of Famer deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for being such a good sport during his roast last month.

We caught up with "The RoastMaster General" out at LAX this week ... and tried to ask who he'd love to target next, considering Netflix's "Roast Of Tom Brady" was such a massive success.

But, Ross explained it's going to be tough to get any celeb to step up to the plate after seeing what happened to Brady ... which led him to praise the guy for taking everything on the chin.

Camille Winbush is far from the little girl who played Bernie Mac's daughter -- something her OnlyFans followers know all too well -- and now she's clapping back at folks shading her new gig.

Ironically, the former 'Bernie Mac Show' star admitted the trolls hit the nail on the head with at least one assumption -- she tells Comedy Hype, "When people say, 'Oh, those Bernie Mac checks must have dried up,' I'm like, 'From a job 20 years ago when I was a 12-year-old? Yeah.' Like, duh."

Camille said her residuals still trickle in, but they're not exactly booming, and certainly aren't enough to make a living ... hence, why she started her OF page in 2021.
