Fights & Feuds

Jerry Seinfeld's become the #1 celeb target of pro-Palestinian protesters -- for the 2nd time in a week they went at him in public ... this time repeatedly heckling his stand-up routine, and fighting with other audience members.

TMZ obtained this video of the first moment things got heated Saturday night inside Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, VA -- almost immediately after Jerry hit the stage, one demonstrator stands up, and starts yelling, "Free Gaza!"

The solo protester also shouted and pointed at audience members, and said they should be ashamed of themselves.

Public distancing from Diddy is in full swing in the hip hop community as artists watch the brutal footage of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura ... and some are calling for his head.

50 Cent didn't react with his usual jokes this time around, but tossed a sarcastic jab at Diddy's legal counsel for their inevitable defense of their client ... quipping the entire saga gave him "Maury vibes."

The G-Unit rapper previously announced he's putting together his own Diddy documentary ... so, he's not only watching this from his usual vantage point -- as social media troll supreme -- but also as a producer.

Congress is truly devolving into an episode of the 'Jerry Springer Show' -- 3 notable legislators went back and forth trading nasty insults during an official hearing, and all it was missing were flying chairs and Steve Wilkos.

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene locked horns with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jasmine Crockett while they presided over the House Oversight Committee hearing about a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

Check out the video ... Greene kicked off all the craziness by asking the committee's democratic wing if they employed Manhattan Criminal Court Justice Juan Marchan's daughter. As you know, Marchan is the sitting judge in Donald Trump's hush money trial.

Soulja Boy is having a change of heart about warring with Metro Boomin -- and apologized to the "Like That" producer for his unsavory comments about his deceased mom.

On Wednesday, Soulja shot Metro an apology just as random as the recent bombs in his direction ... "I apologize to @MetroBoomin for overreacting over an old tweet. Condolences to his mom. I’m going to seek therapy and anger management. I’m done responding to hate, new or old. 💯🙏🏾"

Soulja's beef with Metro was an old one indeed.

Gunna just released his fifth album "One of Wun" at a time when hip hop is highly volatile -- rappers are feuding left and right, but he just wants to drop vibes!!!

TMZ Hip Hop got Gunna at LAX, while on a quick break from his 'Bittersweet' tour, and got a gauge on the reception from his latest project.

Gunna's new album is projected to do around 65,000 sales in its debut week. Not a bad showing at a time when Taylor Swift's 'Tortured Poets Department' has topped Billboard's album chart 4 weeks straight ... and Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" single became one of the biggest rap songs ever -- at least on Spotify, where it has a record-setting 100 million streams in 9 days.

3:14 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Brad Pitt's side is scoffing at Tenute's countersuit -- as they feel they only tried getting into the Chateau Miraval biz because of his name-recognition and deep involvement with the company ... which they're now trying to smear.

We're told Chateau Miraval is only as successful as it is because of how Brad has run it -- and the notion he plundered it for his own personal gain is absurd and nonsensical ... as it would only hurt him if he did the things they're claiming he did.

Bottom line ... we're told BA feels Tenute (a subsidiary of Stoli Group) is blowing hot air that it's tried litigating in other courts to no avail -- and that Brad isn't sweating their accusations.

Shaquille O'Neal stands on business ... and good luck moving the 7'1" Big Fella!!

TMZ Sports caught up with the 4-time NBA champion this week -- days after his on-air exchange with this year's NBA MVP Nikola Jokic -- and Shaq ain't backing down even a little!!

"Let me say something to all the people that are not smart enough to comprehend what I say," O'Neal told Babcock. "Never said I didn't like Joker, never said anything bad about the Joker. Joker is the best big man in a long time. I just said that I thought Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should've gotten the MVP."

Donald Trump's rant about the "wonderful" Hannibal Lecter isn't sitting well with one of the guys who helped make "The Silence of the Lambs," and he's taking a bite out of DT's rhetoric.

Edward Saxon -- part of the Oscar-winning trio that produced the film -- tells TMZ ... he has a pretty good idea why Trump might be so eager to split some fava beans and a nice Chianti with old Hannibal the Cannibal.

He says, "My guess is, Letcer feels like a kindred spirit. Part of it may be aspirational in that Lecter is brilliant and is able to see into people’s motivations and control them."

50 Cent easily dismissed Diddy's son King Combs' diss track aimed at him today -- but here comes a new challenger to the online street fight ... one Meek Mill!!!

As 50 questioned King potentially telling on himself at his expense, Meek came out of nowhere and defended the Bad Boy heir while giving the G-Unit general a piece of his mind.

Meek accused 50 of being a snitch and a miserable master manipulator who picks on kids ... and brought up 50's estranged son Marquise to hammer home his point.

It seems there's still some love between Noah Cyrus and her mother, Tish -- as the singer paid tribute to Mama Bear on Mother's Day ... this amid a reported love triangle.

Miley Cyrus' little sister made a subtle tribute to her estranged mom Sunday ... posting on her Instagram story a throwback photo of herself as a baby being held in Tish's arms. Noah left the upload without a caption ... choosing not to offer up a "Happy Mother's Day" wish.

Still, the upload was telling -- and on its face, it would seem to indicate she's still got a soft spot for Tish somewhere. Of course, the backdrop here ... the fact mother and daughter have been at odds over Tish's hubby, Dominic Purcell.

Diddy's son Christian AKA King Combs is now knee-deep in the 2024 Rap Wars -- dropping a diss track tackling rumors about the federal raids, and taking aim at his father's biggest rival ... 50 Cent!!!

Akademiks got ahold of the unreleased track Sunday, and played it on his livestream feed where it featured KC addressing all the disrespect on his family's name, and you gotta imagine it met his father's approval.

King established himself as a legitimate rapper and opens the track with aggressive bars, "I dare one of you n****s to scream out ‘No Diddy’ ... f**k that n****a up!!!" -- and then answers the constant question about Diddy's whereabouts, "Asking where my pops at?/He on a G6 getting a lineup."

Tyson Fury's dad just went ballistic leading up to this weekend's big fight ... with John headbutting a member of Oleksandr Usyk's crew -- resulting in a bloody mess.

Fury and Usyk are slated to face off in Saudi Arabia on Saturday ... but the Gypsy King's pops couldn't leave the violence to the two boxers when their camps crossed paths on Monday.

The wild altercation broke out minutes ago ... with "Fury" and "Usyk" chants ringing throughout the room as John approached the Ukrainian fighter's group.

Some Anita Baker fans are scrambling for Mother's Day gifts this morning after the singer had to pull the plug on her show in Atlanta just a few minutes before it was supposed to start.

Anita's show at State Farm Arena was packed Saturday night, as many fans gifted the concert tickets to their moms to celebrate the weekend. We can see it ... Anita on Saturday night, brunch on Sunday and you're good.

Those plans were scrapped, though, less than 15 minutes before the curtain was scheduled to go up ... as fans who were already in the arena found out the show would NOT be going on this time.

Influencer and boxer Tristan Hamm -- famously known for knocking out a Logan Paul look-a-like -- is ready to put ex-NFL star Le'Veon Bell to sleep in the ring this month ... telling TMZ Sports he wants Dillon Danis next!!

Hamm and Bell are slated to fight on the Misfits Boxing card on May 25 at the NRG Arena in Houston, Texas ... and Tristan says he's ready for the challenge ahead, despite his debut being just six months ago against Rodney Petersen (you may know him from his run-in with Nate Diaz).

Hamm knocked that dude out in just 53 seconds ... and he's now looking for a similar outcome against Bell.

Drake's security is working overtime ... because TMZ has learned a person allegedly tried to get into his home yet again this week -- the second such instance since the shooting.

According to the Toronto Police Service ... at approximately 3:30 PM ET today, police were called about a person trespassing on the property. We're told the trespasser got into an altercation with security before cops arrived ... and, he was taken to the hospital.

There were rumblings something new was afoot when a video got uploaded to social media Thursday that showed a fresh ambulance at Drake's pad. Police say they're investigating.

Selena Gomez hasn't spoken on the Biebers pregnancy announcement -- and likely won't -- but she is touting her own happiness with Benny Blanco since the news broke.

The singer-songwriter posted a bunch of pics and videos today, mainly pushing her new cooking show "Selena + Restaurant," airing her second episode tonight ... but, she also tossed in a pair of cute couple pics too.

On her Instagram story, Selena posted a black-and-white pic of two hands clenched together -- presumably hers and Benny Blanco's, given she's previously posted this kinda shot.
