The high schooler who rubbed elbows with Travis Kelce during a sweat sesh in Florida over the weekend is raving about the workout ... telling TMZ Sports the run-in with the Chiefs star "was amazing."

Jazz Lewis -- the teenage son of NFL legend Jamal Lewis -- sat down with us just a couple days after he got in the workout with Kelce ... and he had nothing but nice things to say about the future Hall of Famer.

Jazz, who plays wide receiver for Chamblee Charter H.S. in Georgia, tells us Kelce gave him a whole bunch of pointers that he's sure will help him when he hits high school gridirons in the fall.

Police just released body cam video from the Gene Hackman death case ... and you see officers searching his New Mexico home before ultimately finding his and his wife's bodies ... with one of their live dogs lying next to Betsy Arakawa.

TMZ obtained the footage Tuesday and you see cops scouring the Santa Fe home in search of Gene and Betsy.

Police find Betsy's body first -- she's on the floor near a locked exterior door, with one of their dogs by her side ... and Gene's body is later found near the kitchen.

Gayle King’s still riding high after that nerve-wracking Blue Origin mission -- but she’s bringing it back down to Earth just a bit to clap back at the haters saying the money could be spent elsewhere.

TMZ caught up with Gayle, and funny enough -- she used to be one of the cynics too. But, after getting that firsthand experience, she’s seen how much important stuff actually goes into space exploration ... and now, she’s urging the critics to go see it for themselves at Blue Origin HQ.

Gayle makes it clear the money going into space travel isn’t coming at the expense of what’s happening down here on the ground -- something the cynics, such as Emily Ratajkowski, have spoken out about.

Diddy's legal proceedings have created a new beef within his old Bad Boy camp ... Stevie J and New Orleans rapper Chopper of Da Band fame are now in a war of words -- and it's all over rapper Eve!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Stevie J and Miala Doche, the rock artist he's currently developing, and asked him about the lingering rumor that he's selling his musical catalog.

Stevie's produced some serious money-makers in his discography -- Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money, Mo Problems" and "Notorious Thugs," Mariah Carey's "Honey" and even his ex-girlfriend Eve's biggest hit, "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" with Gwen Stefani.

D.L. Hughley says he would have a lot to think about if he were a juror in Luigi Mangione's trial ... telling us he might even go so far as to find the accused United Healthcare CEO murderer innocent!!!

The comedian joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and we asked him about the cult-like following Luigi has, even though the feds claim Mangione gunned down Brian Thompson in cold blood in Manhattan in December.

D.L. says he absolutely understands why Luigi has a lot of supporters out there ... he feels Americans are so fed up with the health insurance agency and are so accustomed to gun violence in their everyday lives that Mangione's alleged murder isn't a big deal to many.

The Paige Bueckers effect is already taking over Dallas ... 'cause ticket sales and prices have seen a major spike since the Wings took the UConn star with the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft.

Bueckers -- who won the 2025 NCAA championship with the Huskies -- was the first name called in Monday night's event ... which was quite the no-brainer for the organization.

Ever since Paige walked the stage, platforms have been overwhelmed with Wings fans trying to get their hands on game tickets ... including SeatGeek, which told us the sales are up 11x compared to five days before the draft.

Diddy wants a Black woman in his corner when his federal trial begins -- in less than 3 weeks -- and that's why he's searching for a new attorney to add to his defense team.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy's lawyers are searching for a Black female attorney to join his current trial team of Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos.

Keep in mind, the mogul's attorneys have already raised race as a critical part of its defense ... accusing the feds of trying to take down a rich, successful Black man.

Stevie J has been one of the few Diddy supporters who's never wavered throughout the numerous lawsuits and charges ... and he wants the world to know the embattled Bad Boy mogul is doing just fine!!!

TMZ Hip Hop bumped into Stevie in Bev. Hills on Monday full of energy, calling for Diddy's freedom.

We thought he was on a hot lunch date -- but turns out, the woman accompanying him is his new artist, Miala Doche.

Damon Wayans crushing on his nephew’s ex isn’t the wild part -- dude’s got a whole family history of being a "steal yo girl" type, at least if you ask his brother Marlon.

Yup, you heard that right -- and trust, TMZ had to double-check too -- We caught up with Marlon at LAX and he straight-up called out Damon for having a thing for his relatives’ girlfriends ... even looking dead into the camera and telling his bro to quit it already.

You’ve gotta watch the clip -- it’s hilarious. Marlon totally roasts Damon, calling him a "girlfriend-stealing bandit" and reminding him of the obvious -- bro, you don’t do that to family.

Alexander Volkanovski is back on top ... and the newly crowned UFC featherweight champion says this title run is sweeter than the first!

36-year-old Volk joined Babcock on the "TMZ Sports TV show" (airs weekdays on FS1) -- less than 48 hours after he regained the belt he previously held for over four years with a unanimous decision win over Diego Lopes. We asked the 145 lb. champ if it meant more this time around.

"Yeah, it does. It does, for sure," Alex said with no hesitation, explaining his mindset during his initial run-up to the title ... "While you're going through the process, you're just training and that's all you know."

Kristin Cavallari has officially parted ways with her Nashville-area estate ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the sale tell TMZ ... the "Let's Be Honest" podcast host offloaded her Franklin, TN home for $7.5 million at the beginning of April ... after first listing the property last year for a whopping $11 million. She later slashed the asking price to $8.99 million.

Despite the price cut, KC is still walking away with a really nice profit ... as she first picked up the 28-acre property, with 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, for just over $3 million following her 2020 split from her ex-husband, Jay Cutler.

Ray J and Princess Love are technically still married despite filing for divorce four times -- and they recently exercised their marital right to suck each other's face off in public!!!

A source close to both Ray and Princess tells TMZ Hip Hop the controversial couple have always maintained a "hot or cold" relationship, even amid the multiple divorce filings.

All signs pointed to the meter being red-hot at last night's Millennium Tour in Miami.

Taylor Lorenz is inserting herself into the Luigi Mangione case -- well, hypothetically -- 'cause she’s weighing in on what her verdict would be if she had a seat on that trial jury.

The ex-Washington Post columnist swung by "TMZ Live" Monday ... and we grilled her on which route she'd go on Luigi's fate -- guilty with the death penalty, guilty with prison time, or not guilty via jury nullification. Let’s just say, it wasn’t an easy call for the outspoken journo.

Check it out ... Taylor tells us she's firmly against the death penalty, so that one’s off the table -- but when it comes to the other two options, she’s torn ... because we haven't seen the potential evidence presented yet.

Don Lemon’s spilling more tea on Wendy Williams' situation at her assisted living facility -- especially the food, which apparently isn’t exactly satisfying her tastes.

The TV personality spoke to TMZ about his recent dinner with Wendy ... saying she was in great spirits and really enjoying her food -- because, as he put it, you can only imagine the grub at the Coterie in NYC isn’t exactly top-tier.

Wendy’s been vocal about feeling like a prisoner at the facility, but there are folks out there saying it’s karma for all the trash she talked about others during her career.

"Dazed and Confused" actor Nicky Katt died by suicide at his home in California, TMZ has learned.
