IT'S NOT RIGHT!!!
NBC

Conan O'Brien took a trip down memory lane in his return to late-night TV, telling Jimmy Fallon it felt "weird" coming back to the NBC building and joking about how Kelly Clarkson hijacked his studio.

The former host showed up Tuesday as a guest on "The Tonight Show," sitting down with Jimmy for an interview in which the comedian mostly reminisced about his time at the network.

At one point, Conan started talking about how strange it was to be back on "this floor" after hosting "Late Night" from 1993 to 2009 at NYC's Rockefeller Center. He then took the reins of "The Tonight Show" in L.A. before he was fired after just 7 months in 2010.

HEATHER McDONALD MY HANG OUT WITH BRITNEY ... Here's What Went Down!!!

It all went down back in December as Heather was dining out in Hollywood, where she spotted Britney celebrating her birthday with her manager Cade Hudson.

BIANCA CENSORI Latest 'Fit Rubber-Stamped by Ye ... 'Condom'-Style Dress 😅

Bianca Censori seems to be telegraphing a positive message about safe sex -- that is, if you see what we see with her latest outfit ... which looks very latex-y, if you catch our drift.

The ex-architect was out with Kanye West Sunday -- grabbing dinner at Bacari in Silver Lake, CA ... and stepping out afterward in this little number, which once again made a bold fashion statement. As you can see, she's in a see-through dress -- and yes, she appears to be naked underneath.

Nothing new there, per se, but what is eye-popping this time around is what exactly she's wrapped in -- on its face, it resembles a plastic shower curtain ... or, realistically, a condom.

Pete Davidson Parting Gifts to 'Bupkis' Staff ... Cold, Hard Cash!!!

Pete Davidson's making sure his friends on "Bupkis" have good memories of him -- as he makes his exit, Pete's dishin' out thousands to some of the show's staff ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us, Pete's handing out cash prizes -- totaling hundreds of thousands -- to some creators who worked on season 1 of "Bupkis" to thank them for all their hard work on the show, pre-cancelation.

We're told Davidson gave the money to just a handful of people ... all of whom were involved with season 1, but who weren't necessarily working on the now-dead second season.

Pete Davidson Reparte regalos al equipo de "Bupkis" Puro efectivo!!!

Pete Davidson se está asegurando de que sus amigos en "Bupkis" tengan buenos recuerdos de él mientras cierra ese capítulo, ya que el actor está repartiendo miles de dólares a algunos miembros del personal, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Las fuentes nos dicen que Pete está entregando premios en efectivo, por un total de cientos de miles, a algunos de los creadores que trabajaron en la primera temporada de "Bupkis". Todo, para darles las gracias por su duro trabajo, antes de su cancelación.

Nos dicen que Davidson le dio dinero a solo un puñado de personas, todos quienes estaban involucrados en la temporada 1, pero que no estaban necesariamente trabajando en la segunda temporada, ahora cancelada.

JUST TO BE CLEAR
ABC

James Corden walked away from his "Late Late Show" hosting gig on his own terms ... but people in his native UK just can't quite believe he wasn't fired, at least according to him.

The Brit explained on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Tuesday that despite him assuring people he and his wife Julia moved back across the pond so their 3 kids could be closer to their grandparents, people are convinced he's lying ... and think CBS canned him.

James says he's had his fair share of pub convos about his talk show departure ... and no matter how many times he tries to set the record straight, he says, "People will honestly be like, 'You don't have to give me that bull***. It's fine, mate. If you got fired, you got fired!'"

"Jersey Shore" Grandes anuncios de compromiso... El de Sammi es real, el de Vinny no

Los anuncios de compromiso de las estrellas de "Jersey Shore" Sammi Giancola y Vinny Guadagnino no fueron parte de las bromas del April Fool... Bueno, no del todo.

El compromiso de Sammi Sweetheart con su novio Justin May, de hecho, sucedió. La personalidad de MTV le aseguró a sus seguidores que su relación no era una broma del Día de los Inocentes, sino que Justin le hizo la pregunta el 16 de marzo, pero tomaron la arriesgada decisión de compartir la noticia y las primeras fotos del anillo, el 1 de abril.

Sus compañeros de reparto compartieron unas sinceras reacciones en el post. Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Angelina Pivarnick y Pauly "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio dejaron sus felicitaciones en la sección de comentarios.

'Jersey Shore' Big Engagement News ... Sammi's Real Deal, Vinny's a 'Fool'

"Jersey Shore" stars Sammi Giancola and Vinny Guadagnino's dueling engagement announcements on April 1 were not a part of a prank war ... well, not entirely.

Sammi Sweetheart's engagement to boyfriend Justin May did, in fact, happen ... as the MTV personality assured her followers her relationship update was not an April Fools' Day joke. She says Justin popped the question on March 16, but they made the risky decision to share the news -- and first photos of the diamond ring -- on April 1.

Her costars offered up some sincere reactions ... as Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, Angelina Pivarnick and Pauly "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio all shared their congratulations in the comments section.

Ludacris Katt Williams Didn't Get Under My Skin... He's a Comedian!!!

Ludacris isn't salty over Katt Williams suggesting he's a puppet for the elite -- 'cause he's taking the remarks with a grain of salt ... noting comedians are supposed to make jokes!!!

The rapper checked in with "The Breakfast Club" on Monday ahead of his iHeartRadio Awards appearance, and he tackled Katt's "Club Shay Shay" digs head-on.

Remember, Katt took aim at Luda and his wife Eudoxie -- and in the moment, it wasn't clear if he was joking or not ... but Luda says he isn't trippin' either way.

MILB Team Keeping 'Ozempig' Mascot Name ... Amid Backlash

The Minnesota Twins' AAA affiliate is standing firm on its decision to name its live pig mascot "OzemPig" ... this after a number of fans squealed in opposition.

The St. Paul Saints -- known for their tomfoolery on gamedays -- traditionally employ young pigs to help out with delivering game balls to umpires ... and host an annual contest to come up with a silly moniker for each animal (past winners include Ham Solo, Notorious P.I.G., etc.).

This year's winner beat out candidates like Porky Blinders and Sloppenheimer ... but once the name was announced, some folks felt it flirted with fat-shaming, considering it's a nod to the popular weight loss drug.

A guy went viral after rolling up to the Diddy raid in L.A. claiming to be his next-door neighbor, while also alleging to have witnessed unseemly things  -- but his mom is clarifying ... saying her son was just running his mouth.

On Monday, a car rolled up to Diddy's home in the middle of the raid and made a scene -- with two young guys rolling down their windows and talking to reporters ... while also amplifying salacious allegations mentioned in recent lawsuits against Diddy.

The guys claimed to live right next to Diddy, and alleged they'd seen all sorts of wild stuff at night. At first, people didn't know what to believe ... but some members of the media took their words as gospel, and they got duped.

Joe Biden Trolls Trump Over Golf Awards ... 'Quite The Accomplishment'

Joe Biden took time out of his Sunday night to throw a jab at Donald Trump ... trolling the former president for receiving golf awards at his own course.

No. 45 got the honors at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida ... earning the titles of Club Champion and Senior Club Champion -- and afterward, he gloated about it on Truth Social.

In his post, Trump said he got the trophies over a talented field ... writing, "The qualifying and match play was amazing."

Draymond Green 'Upset' LeBron & JJ Start Podcast ... What About Me?!?

032024_draymond_green_kal
Come On, Lebron!
The Draymond Green Show

LeBron James and JJ Redick started a basketball podcast together ... and Draymond Green doesn't like it!!!

He's joking, of course (probably 😅).

"I must say I'm a little upset LeBron is like going on a podcast and still hasn't been on the Draymond Green Show," the 34-year-old said, "but when it's your own thing you kinda can't say anything."

The Golden State Warriors star has obviously heard about King James' new pod with Redick, titled "Mind The Game," which will focus on the X's and O's of basketball ... and he ain't happy!

Green -- who is good friends with LBJ -- has his own show, "The Draymond Green Show," on IHeartPodcast and The Volume ... and he's none too pleased that James hasn't appeared on his show, which launched in 2021.

But, Draymond's willing to overlook it for the time being.

"I'll live with it for now. Pick the bone with him that I gotta pick with him later!"

Perhaps until April 9 when the Warriors go to the Crypto for a tilt with the Lakers, their final meeting of the season.

All jokes aside, Green is excited to watch the show!

"I love a great basketball conversation and you don't get to have those often with many people and you definitely don't get to watch them often," Green said.

In their debut episode, James and Redick debated the qualities of a great basketball player, and a bunch more. The ep generated over 1.3 million views, and counting.

Maybe Draymond goes on their show as a guest ...

NBA's Gradey Dick Explains Viral Jersey Swap ... Anthony Black's My Guy!!!

Swappin' With My Boys
Toronto Raptors

Gradey Dick is denying any tomfoolery was involved in his jersey exchange with Anthony Black ... telling reporters he simply wanted to show love to his buddy.

The Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic rookies went stupid viral with their postgame trade over the weekend ... with many pointing out the suggestive phrase their last names spelled out when they posed for a pic (hint: Black's surname came first).

Dick was asked about all the hoopla on Tuesday ... and he swore up and down it was nothing more than two longtime friends reconnecting.

"That's my guy," Dick said at practice. "I've been playing against or with him around since middle school days. So, that's been my guy for a long time."

Dick defended the move ... adding, "Guys jersey swap with their boys. That's my friend."

When asked if he has any other jersey swaps lined up, Dick said he only has one criteria.

"If I played with them growing up and they're my guys, then I'll jersey swap with them. Nothing more to it."

While Dick's reasoning behind choosing Black for the popular tradition checks out, it's pretty clear the guys purposely positioned themselves to have a bit of fun ... especially considering it appeared they orchestrated the whole thing before smiling for the cameras.

Either way, it certainly left quite the impression on the league.
