Mark Zuckerberg is being roasted at a Senate hearing on the online child sexual exploitation crisis ... getting up from his hot seat to apologize to victims' families.

The Meta CEO was in the middle of his testimony Wednesday on Capital Hill when he started getting grilled by Sen. Josh Hawley, who bombarded Zuck with questions.

Zuckerberg can barely get a word in as Hawley badgers him on Meta's response, or alleged lack thereof, to kids being sexually exploited online ... and he's pretty much forced to turn around and apologize.

Standing up from his chair, Zuck does a 180 and faces the audience ... which is filled with parents holding up photos of their kids who fell victim to predators using social media.

Zuckerberg indicates it's the first time he's apologized for these sorts of issues happening on Facebook and Instagram ... and he says Meta is taking steps to protect kids.

Other social media executives are testifying too ... including Snapchat's Evan Spiegel, TikTok's Shou Zi Chew, X's Linda Yaccarino and Discord's Jason Citron ... but the most interesting moments have been reserved for Zuck.

Kim Kardashian y Kanye West parecen estar dejando de lado sus diferencias por el bien de sus niños, compartiendo una cena con North y sus amigos, quienes además llevaban puestas camisetas promocionales del nuevo álbum de Ye.

La ex pareja llegó por separado el martes por la noche al restaurante Nobu en Malibu, ambos luciendo el estilo que han estado llevando en el último tiempo: Kim con un crop top y un largo abrigo negro y Kanye, con la cara cubierta con una de sus máscaras negras patentadas. Nada nuevo en eso.

Debemos señalar que Kim llegó con North y un grupo de amigos, y parece que Kanye apareció por separado más tarde para unirse al grupo, pero sin su esposa Bianca Censori.

Nos dicen que el grupo estuvo cerca de una hora y media dentro del restaurante antes de que Ye llegara en su carro flanqueado por su seguridad. Minutos más tarde, Kim se fue con North y sus amigos, y todos ellos llevaban camisetas de "Vultures".

North es claramente la más entusiasmada, levantando la camiseta para darle a los fotógrafos un buen vistazo del logotipo y nombre del álbum en la parte superior. Tenemos que decir que es la viva imagen de su padre. Ahora, ¿por qué estaban usando estas camisetas? No lo sabemos.

Esto es llamativo por un par de razones. Primero, es sorprendente ver a Kim y Kanye reunidos de esta manera, pues no los vemos cenando juntos incluso por sus hijos.

Más importante aún, es interesante que Kim deje a North usar las cosas de "Vultures", teniendo en cuenta que hay algún contenido antisemita en el disco, por lo que hemos oído.

Recuerden, "Vultures" es el próximo álbum de colaboración de Kanye con Ty Dolla $ign, y la canción que da título al disco ha sido muy criticada por sus controvertidas letras como esta: "¿Cómo voy a ser antisemita? Si acabo de acostarme con una puta judía".

No hace falta decir que la canción no ha caído bien en las organizaciones judías, quienes han criticado la canción.

Como hemos dicho, no está claro cómo surgió este desfile promocional de "Vultures". Es posible que Kim fuera sorprendida a último minuto.

Como hemos informado, North rapeó un verso que podría aparecer en el nuevo álbum de su padre durante una fiesta el mes pasado, por lo que tiene sentido que ella y sus amigos estén emocionados con el lanzamiento del álbum y quieran llevar camisetas suyas.

Notablemente, y como era de esperar, Kim no llevaba una de las camisetas. Los hemos visto juntos en varios partidos de baloncesto de Saint en el último mes y han tenido algunas interacciones bastante frías, si se les puede llamar así.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West seem to be putting their rocky past aside for the sake of the kids ... doing dinner with North and her friends, who wore merch promoting Ye's new album.

The famous exes pulled up separately Tuesday night at Nobu in Malibu, keeping their outfits in line with their recent style trends ... Kim wore a barely-there crop top and long black coat and Kanye covered his face in one of his patented black masks -- no surprises there.

We should note ... Kim arrived with North and a bunch of her friends in tow -- and it appears Kanye showed up separately later, heading in to join them, sans his new wifey Bianca Censori.

We're told they all hung out inside the restaurant for about an hour and a half together before Ye headed to his car flanked by security ... and minutes later, Kim left with North and her pals -- with all of the kids wearing matching "Vultures" merch.

North's clearly the most excited ... pulling the shirt up to give photogs a good look at the logo on the front and the album's title written in script at the top. We gotta say ... she's the spitting image of her father. Also -- no word on whether the group went in with these shirts.

This is eye-popping for a couple reasons. One, it's surprising to see Kim and Kanye get together like this, we don't see them breaking bread together ... even for their children.

More importantly ... interesting to see Kim let North wear the 'Vultures' stuff, y'know -- considering there's some antisemitic content on the album, from what we've heard so far.

Remember ... "Vultures" is Kanye's upcoming collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, and the title track's caught quite a bit of heat for controversial lyrics like, "How I'm antisemitic? I just f***ed a Jewish bitch."

Needless to say, the song's not sitting well with Jewish orgs, which have blasted the song.

Like we said, it's unclear how the t-shirt promo parade came together -- it's possible Kim was blindsided by it at the last minute.

As we reported ... North rapped a verse that might appear on her dad's new album during a listening party last month -- so, it makes sense she and her friends would be jazzed about the album's release and want to wear shirts bumping it.

Notably, and unsurprisingly, Kim did not wear one of the shirts. We've spotted her and Kanye at multiple basketball games for Saint over the last month and they've had some pretty frosty interactions -- if you can even call them that.

Los padres de la modelo de OnlyFans Courtney Clenney, la mujer acusada de asesinar a su novio, estaban obsesionados con tratar de acceder a la computadora del hombre que falleció y accedieron ilegalmente a él, por lo que afirman los fiscales en el caso.

TMZ dio a conocer la historia, Kim y Deborah Clenney fueron detenidos el martes por cargos de delito grave por acceso no autorizado o acceso excesivo a un computador. Su hija, Courtney, también fue acusada del delito.

Según la declaración jurada de la policía, el padre de Courtney, Kim, entró en posesión del computador portátil de Christian Obumseli poco después de que Courtney lo apuñalara hasta la muerte en abril de 2022.

Los fiscales obtuvieron una serie de mensajes de texto entre los padres de Courtney y sus abogados, que hacen referencia repetidamente a la necesidad de averiguar la contraseña de Christian. Había más de 4.200 textos en los chats de grupo entre los padres y los abogados.

Al parecer, Courtney había proporcionado una lista de posibles contraseñas y, mediante ensayo y error durante una semana, lograron descifrarla. La contraseña terminó siendo su cumpleaños ... 0412.

El abogado de Courtney le dijo al grupo que no accediera al computador, pero Kim le dijo al abogado que ya había accedido y estaba "empezando a husmear". Dijo que no había abierto ningún archivo y que no había visto nada.

Como informamos, lo único que había en el disco duro era un balance de criptodivisas. Los fiscales no han alegado, al menos por ahora, que Kim o Deborah borraran algún contenido.

The parents of OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney, the woman accused of murdering her boyfriend, were obsessed with trying to gain access to the dead man's computer and unlawfully accessed it ... so claim prosecutors in the murder case.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim and Deborah Clenney were arrested Tuesday on felony charges of unauthorized access or excessive access to a computer. Their daughter, Courtney, was also charged with the crime.

According to the police affidavit, Courtney's dad, Kim, came into possession of Christian Obumseli's laptop shortly after Courtney stabbed him to death in April 2022.

Prosecutors obtained a series of text messages between Courtney's parents and her lawyers, which repeatedly reference the need to figure out Christian's password. There were more than 4,200 texts in the group chats between the parents and the lawyers.

Courtney had apparently provided a list of potential passwords and through trial and error over a week's time, they were able to figure it out. The password ended up being his birthday ... 0412.

Courtney's lawyer told the group not to actually access the computer, but Kim told the lawyer he had already accessed it and was "starting to poke around." He said he had not opened a file and didn't see anything.

As we reported, the only thing on the hard drive was a cryptocurrency balance sheet. Prosecutors have not alleged -- at least not yet -- that Kim or Deborah deleted any content.

Both Deborah and Kim will appear in Miami court via zoom Wednesday morning. They are living in Austin, TX and prosecutors are trying to extradite them to Miami, where their daughter sits in jail awaiting her murder trial.

4:40 PM PT -- According to online records, the Clenneys are facing unspecified felony charges from out of state -- but we're still working to confirm exactly what they've been dinged for.

The parents of Courtney Clenney -- the OnlyFans model who has been charged with murdering her boyfriend -- have been arrested themselves ... TMZ has learned.

Kim and Deborah Clenney were arrested at their Austin, TX home Tuesday in connection with the murder case ... and we're told it has something to do with potential evidentiary tampering.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... the Clenneys were taken into custody by law enforcement in Travis County on a warrant out of Miami.

The allegation, from what we understand, boils down to a laptop that belonged to Courtney's late boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, which our sources say remained in their Miami apartment after he was killed in an argument in 2022.

We're told Courtney's dad, Kim, went back to their unit to clear out her stuff in the aftermath ... and in the process, stumbled across this laptop -- which we're told had not been impounded as evidence when police first went through after the incident.

Our sources say Courtney gave her father the password, and he got in ... but found nothing but a crypto exchange on the hard drive. After that, we're told he notified Courtney's defense attorney about it ... and handed it off to the legal team.

At this point, our sources say they're still in custody ... and the exact charges are a bit unclear -- but we're told they have a bond hearing in court Wednesday.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Megan Thee Stallion's beef with Nicki Minaj has taken an ugly turn -- cops are getting involved to protect her late mother's gravesite, this after doxxing by her arch-rival's fandom.

The Texas cemetery where Megan's mom, Holly Thomas, was laid to rest after passing away from brain cancer in 2019 -- tells TMZ ... they've notified local authorities and increased security personnel at their facility in light of the escalating feud.

What's more ... we're told PSC will continue to monitor the situation as they take all matters regarding safety and security seriously -- and lately, things have been getting too real.

They do add ... as of yet, thankfully nothing has happened to the gravesite, but they emphasize they're on high alert regardless.

The extra precautions come after some of Nicki's "Barbz" -- AKA, her army of fiercely loyal supporters -- first leaked the location of Holly's burial site on social media ... encouraging others to go and desecrate her grave as a way to get back at MTS for her OG diss.

It all kicked off last week when Nicki distastefully cracked a joke about MTS' mother on the streaming platform Stationhead. Her exact line at the time was ... "You better go conjure up your mother and apologize. That's disgusting." It seems some of her fans took that to heart.

No doubt, ya gotta figure that was particularly heartbreaking for Megan to hear ... as she's been super candid and emotional over the years about her mother's influence in her life.

Megan has also been very open about what the loss of her mom has meant to her -- and by all accounts, it's been very difficult ... something that's been well-documented and discussed.

Now, Nicki did later explain that she only took the shot at Meg's mom cause MTS was coming after her own family. In particular, MTS seemed to reference Nicki's husband, Kenneth Petty, in her new track "Hiss" -- making a "Megan's Law" reference that many interpreted as shade toward Petty's legal trouble.

So, tit for tat really ... many felt Nicki had just gone too far, and doubly so for any one of her supporters who was seriously considering heading over to Holly's grave.

Riley Keough está tratando de luchar contra un cobrador de deudas del otro lado del charco que quiere que suelte un montón de dinero por una casa que su difunta madre poseía.

La hija mayor de Lisa Marie Presley -que ahora está a cargo tras la muerte de su madre el año pasado- acaba de presentar nuevos documentos legales que le pidien a un juez que declare que ella no está de acuerdo con pagar ningún tipo de deuda.

En la presentación -obtenida por TMZ- Riley señala que todo esto tiene que ver con una finca en Rotherfield llamada Coes Hall, una propiedad de 11 dormitorios que Lisa Marie aseguró con un préstamo del Banco Barclays el 2010.

Barclays está reclamando que Lisa debía un saldo pendiente de alrededor de $1.6 millones a Coes Hall y el banco afirma que Lisa garantizó el pago personalmente cuando tomó el préstamo. A raíz de su muerte, Barclays espera que paguen la cuenta de la garantía personal.

Riley dice que esto es falso. en su papeleo, dice que hay al menos dos razones por las que debería tener que pagar la deuda, para empezar, dice que ha prescrito un plazo clave.

Riley afirma que Barclays tenía un plazo para presentar cualquier tipo de reclamación hasta el 12 de enero 2024, el primer aniversario de la muerte de Lisa, que ha llegado y se ha ido sin ninguna novedad para el banco. Ella también afirma que Lisa solo garantiza el pago de intereses sobre el préstamo entre 2010 y 2015, por lo que la confianza no debería tener que pagar el capital pendiente.

Riley Keough is trying to fight off a debt collector from across the pond, which she claims wants her to cough up a lot of money for a house her late mother owned ... but Riley's pushing back.

Lisa Marie Presley's eldest child -- who's now in charge of the trust left behind after her mom's death last year -- just filed new legal docs asking for a judge to declare she's not on the hook for a fat tab that a bank is attempting to collect from the trust.

In the filing, obtained by TMZ, Riley notes this all has to do with an estate in Rotherfield called Coes Hall -- an 11-bedroom property that LMP brought back in 2010 ... and which she secured with a loan from Barclays Bank.

To make it simple ... Barclays is claiming Lisa owed an outstanding balance of about $1.6 million on Coes Hall -- and the bank claims Lisa personally guaranteed payment when she took out the loan. In the wake of her death, though, Barclays is trying to have the trust pick up the tab for the personal guarantee.

But RK is calling BS ... in her paperwork, she says there are at least 2 reasons why she shouldn't have to pay the debt -- for starters, she says a key statute of limitations has run.

Riley claims Barclays had a deadline to file any kind of claim on this -- namely, Jan. 12, 2024 ... the 1-year anniversary of Lisa's death ... which has come and gone without the bank filing legal papers. She also claims Lisa only guaranteed interest payments on the loan between 2010 and 2015, so the trust shouldn't have to pay down the outstanding principal.

Snoop Dogg's daughter is in a far better place than she was a couple weeks ago when she suffered a stroke ... in fact, she's showing all the signs of a major comeback, getting in some exercise and some QT with Dad!!!

On Monday, Cori Broadus posted a vid of herself walking down the street basking in the sun -- a far cry from the alarming messages she posted earlier in January while she was hospitalized.

The 24-year-old influencer told her fans she wasn't sure she'd recover ... her blood pressure had spiked to high levels, but doctors and nurses got her on the path to recovery.

Later in the day, she joined her father at Charlie Wilson's 71st birthday bash -- the perfect cherry on top after the Gap Band singer received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Cori was well enough to gangsta boogie along with her dad's performance -- where he performed "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" holding down his and Tupac Shakur's verses!!!

Another fun moment for Snoop happened when he was unexpectedly reunited with his long-lost Nate Dogg tribute jacket ... which journalist Jake Rohn now owns.

La hija de Snoop Dogg está mucho mejor de lo que estaba hace un par de semanas cuando sufrió un derrame cerebral, de hecho, está mostrando todos los signos de un gran regreso, haciendo un poco de ejercicio y pasando tiempo de calidad con papá.

El lunes, Cori Broadus publicó un video caminando por la calle tomando el sol. Algo muy diferente a los mensajes alarmantes que publicó a principios de enero, cuando estuvo hospitalizada.

La influencer de 24 años le dijo a sus fans que no estaba segura de recuperarse. Su presión arterial había subido a niveles altos, pero los médicos y enfermeras pudieron hacer que se recupere.

Más tarde se unió a su padre en la fiesta de cumpleaños número 71 de Charlie Wilson, la guinda perfecta de la torta después de que el cantante recibiera su estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood.

Cori estaba lo suficientemente bien como para acompañar la actuación de su padre, que interpretó "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" con sus versos y los de Tupac Shakur.

Otro momento divertido para Snoop ocurrió cuando se reencontró inesperadamente con su chaqueta tributo a Nate Dogg perdida hace mucho tiempo, la misma que el periodista Jake Rohn ahora posee.

Lindsay Lohan está extendiendo sus alas por los Estados Unidos últimamente. Hace poco, estuvo en Nueva York para hacer un poco de promoción y ahora está en Georgia, en compañía de su pequeño bebé.

La actriz apareció el lunes en Alpharetta, Georgia, que se encuentra a unos 40 minutos de Atlanta, con su marido Bader Shammas y su bebé Luai. Los tres estaban dando un agradable paseo en su cochecito, con el papá a cargo del coche y LiLo de la merienda.

Si se preguntan qué diablos están haciendo Lindsay y compañía en el estado del sur, les alegrará saber que probablemente tiene que ver con trabajo, en concreto, con una nueva película de Netflix.

Recientemente se anunció que Lindsay protagonizará otra película navideña junto a Kristin Chenoweth, después de haber participado en otra similar para ellos hace un par de años, "Falling for Christmas". ¡Parece que al streamer le gustó su material y la fichó para otra!

Teniendo en cuenta la gran cantidad de películas y espectáculos que se están filmando constantemente en el estado de Georgia, y con "Our Little Secret" ya en producción, es una apuesta casi segura que eso es lo que LiLo está grabando en estos momentos. Por suerte para ella tiene a su familia a su lado, lo que parece ser su nueva norma.

Es interesante, Lindsay normalmente vive en el extranjero en Dubai, pero últimamente ha estado en Estados Unidos por negocios. Como dijimos previamente, hace un par de semanas estuvo en la Gran Manzana para el estreno de la nueva película de "Mean Girls", en la que hizo un breve cameo / aparición.

Lindsay Lohan is spreading her wings in the States lately -- she was just recently in NYC for some promo work -- and now, she's in Georgia ... where her little one is tagging along.

The actress popped up in Alpharetta, GA Monday -- about 40 minutes outside of Atlanta -- where she and her husband, Bader Shammas, were on a nice little walk with their baby boy, Luai, who was chillin' in his stroller ... with dad taking care of push duties, as LiLo snacked.

If you're wondering what the heck Lindsay and co. are doing in the southern state right now -- you might be happy to hear it's likely work-related ... namely, a new Netflix movie.

She was recently announced to star in yet another Christmas flick opposite Kristin Chenoweth -- this after having been in a different Xmas movie for them a couple years back, 'Falling for Christmas.'

Seems the streamer liked her stuff and signed her up for another one! BTW, we recently got Kristin at LAX ... and she had some kind words for Lindsay -- saying she's a pleasure to work with.

Seeing how films/shows are constantly filming in the state of Georgia -- and with 'Our Little Secret' already in production -- it's a safe bet that's exactly what LiLo's shooting right now. Lucky for her, she's got her family right by her side ... which seems to be her new norm.

It's interesting ... Lindsay normally lives abroad in Dubai, but lately -- she's been here in America for business. Like we said up top ... she was just in the Big Apple a couple weeks ago for the premiere of the new 'Mean Girls' ... in which she had a brief cameo/appearance.

Caitlyn Jenner has a good thing going in her TV career, and didn't want a little cameo on her son's own show ruin that for her ... which is why she took steps to make sure it won't!

Sources close to Caitlyn tell TMZ ... Brandon Jenner has a new series on UnchainedTV called "At Home With the Jenners" and he's been kinda using her name to promote the project, without her blessing.

The show is 3 episodes in, and Brandon gave an interview to The U.S. Sun where he promised Caitlyn will appear on the show ... which isn't totally inaccurate, 'cause she was featured in a family dinner scene with David Foster and did, indeed, show up on camera.

The problem ... our sources say Caitlyn had no idea she was going to be part of Brandon's show whatsoever, and she wasn't happy when she found out he was using her for promotions, let alone when she found out she was actually *in* a scene.

We're told Caitlyn's attorneys reached out to the show's production company, threatening legal action if she wasn’t quickly removed from the show ... and our sources say she's since been scrubbed from all future appearances and has even been edited out of the episodes she was already shown in. If that sounds like kinda harsh, well ... there's big money at play here.

We're told Caitlyn's in the middle of contract renewals with FOX right now and she wants to keep working for the network as a Fox News contributor, especially with the upcoming Olympics and presidential election.

Our sources say Caitlyn wishes Brandon's show nothing but the best, but she's furious over how recklessly everything's been handled just to sell it. We're told CJ has no plans to join a reality show on a different network ... because doing so would potentially put her in a serious breach of her FOX contract, and she doesn't wanna jeopardize that.

Caitlyn called Brandon, we're told, when she found out what was going on, expressing her anger -- and it sounds like her son gets it, 'cause she's been scrubbed.

Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky's separation hasn't been easy on the couple ... in fact, not being with Mauricio has been "scary" for Kyle -- at least according to her.

The 'Real Housewives' star stopped by SiriusXM's "Jeff Lewis Live" Thursday and discussed her messy estrangement from her hubby of almost three decades ... and she admitted she's not totally sure who she is outside of that marriage.

KR said she feels her "entire identity is being a wife and a mom," and she's trying to figure out who she is outside of that -- all while still dealing with feelings of compassion toward MU.

Kyle said it would almost be easier to hate Mauricio if she straight-up couldn't stand being around him ... but, quite frankly she doesn't -- and it's making their split that much harder ... sounds like she's still quite fond of him.

She went on to say they're making the best of their situation ... living in the same house, sleeping in different bedrooms -- and it helps that they've got other homes too though they aren't actively trying to be in different places.

Remember, we told you all about their Aspen excursions last month with Umansky photographing a couple lovely models wearing just towels on the slopes and ripping his shirt off in a poppin' bar ... before he, Kyle and their daughters hung out around Christmas.

Richards said the trip was pretty tame ... adding if you didn't know the former couple, then you wouldn't think anything was amiss in their relationship -- bottom line, no blow-ups over the Christmas ham.

Some people have theorized the couple's staying together to avoid splitting up their assets in a messy divorce ... but Richards threw cold water on that idea during the interview -- saying she'd get divorced if she was totally sure they weren't going to be together anymore.

As for the money, Kyle's very clear ... it's collective cash! She said they were totally broke when they started dating and got married -- so, all their success like The Agency taking off and the big Bravo bucks they made on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" would be split evenly.

The couple decided to go their separate ways last summer, and their breakup's been plagued with rumors of Kyle moving on with Morgan Wade quickly after the split and Mauricio getting it on with his "Dancing with the Stars" partner Emma Slater ... basically, everyone's been up in their business over the last six months.

It seems KR's finally ready to talk about it all -- Mauricio and Morgan included -- telling us earlier this week she's gonna spill her guts ... when cameras start rolling on the 'RHOBH" reunion. That's one hell of a promo, Kyle!

The reunion tapes today, so fans won't have to wait much longer for all the answers they've been craving.

Convicted killer Kenneth Eugene Smith was executed Thursday by the state of Alabama using a new deadly procedure, as his wife and pastor looked on in absolute horror at his excruciatingly painful reaction.

Smith was ushered inside the execution chamber at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, where prison staff put him in restraints and fitted a gas mask over his face to suffocate him with nitrogen hypoxia. He became the first ever inmate to be put to death utilizing this method.

Before the execution began at 8:07 PM CST, Smith made a heart sign with his left hand to his family who was present before saying his final words through his mask: "Tonight Alabama causes humanity to take a step backwards... I’m leaving with love, peace, and light."

The next 18 minutes turned into a nightmare for Smith and his two closest confidantes -- namely his wife, Deanna, and his spiritual guide, Jeff Hood, both of whom were in the witness box.

Hood later told the Daily Mail ... the execution was the "worst thing" he had ever seen, even causing prison officials to gasp while Smith died much slower than anticipated.

The pastor also said Smith started convulsing with his body popping up on the gurney after correctional officers pumped his mask full of nitrogen hypoxia, forcing him to inhale high concentrations of the gas.

At one point, Deanna cried out for her dying husband as he grabbed at his restraints, taking his last breaths before he suffocated. Smith was sentenced to death in 1996 for killing a preacher's wife, Elizabeth Sennett, as part of a $1,000 murder-for-hire plot.

He was pronounced dead at 8:25 PM CST.
