Michael Blackson says the real reviews of a comedy club can't be found online, but in the parking lot ... 'cause you only need to look at a comic's car to judge his talent.

We caught up with the comedian at LAX Thursday ... and, he was picking up someone in a pristine white Rolls-Royce -- a car he says cost him a hell of a lot of money.

Blackson claims the car proves he's super funny ... 'cause hilarious comedians get paid big bucks -- and can buy very expensive cars.

Whoopi Goldberg's want fans to get a mouthful of her ... telling fans to dive right in and have a taste -- of a wheel of cheese bearing her face!

The comedian turned 69 on Wednesday ... and, in honor of her big day, Whoopi hosted a "Favorite Things" segment on "The View" alongside cohost Sara Haines -- much like the kind Oprah used to offer on her show.

In the clip, Whoopi takes the audience through a few of her favorite products ... olive oil, coffee pods, luggage and more -- before stepping up to a huge wheel of cheese with her likeness plastered on it.

3:10 PM PT -- 50 Cent threw another jab at Busta Rhyme's barber and given his latest edit, it's clear he's strumming up attention for his upcoming Las Vegas residency!!!

That's how you keep the people going!!!

50 Cent woke up today and couldn't bite his tongue any longer after seeing Busta Rhyme's spray-painted hairdo on his timeline for the umpteenth time -- but probably didn't count on Bus-A-Bus having a few scalping swipes of his own!!!

On Tuesday, 50 put the spotlight on Busta's suspicious hairpiece and called out his right-hand man Spliff Starr for allowing that dipped ice cream cone on his head ... it's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it!!!

The G-Unit legend also gave Fat Joe's hair dye Rewind It 10 some backhanded promo -- ordering Joe, DJ Khaled and Tyson Beckford to get Busta a box pronto so he could knock off the bulletproof wig!!!

The comedian who caught hell for his "garbage" joke about Puerto Rico has released his post-speech reaction, recorded the night after his appearance at Madison Square Garden.

In an episode of "Kill Tony," the podcast and live show hosted by Tony Hinchcliffe, he's onstage performing ... and he goes into a bit about his freshly controversial set from the night before.

You'll recall ... at a Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in NYC on October 27, Hinchcliffe was warming up the crowd -- one of his jokes was, "I don't know if you know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it's called Puerto Rico."

Rihanna's taking the bus around town ... or at, least pretending to in order to advertise her Fenty Beauty brand -- 'cause she was hanging out at a bus stop with a huge poster of her behind her.

The singer-songwriter shared a video full of different pictures of the star lounging at a bus stop ... with a Fenty Beauty advertisement positioned strategically in the background.

Check out the pics ... Rihanna's just chilling, joking that she's just trying to catch a ride while bumping her famous brand.

Ariana Grande just got a major apology from her "Wicked" costar Bowen Yang, who’s apparently still cringing over that smooch they shared in an 'SNL' sketch last month.

On Wednesday’s episode of the "Las Culturistas" podcast, Bowen said he just had to apologize to her for opening his mouth "too much" during their kiss -- and the star agreed, admitting she was left shaking afterward, but not in a bad way ... more in a "disarming" way.

It was all laughs from there -- Bowen kept on apologizing, but Ariana assured him she had no hard feelings.

Reba McEntire has the entire internet roasting her for sharing a photo of her red hair ... with folks saying she's focused on the wrong thing today.

Here's the deal ... the country music legend proudly posted on Elon Musk's social media platform Tuesday, sharing two photos of her with red hair in celebration of something called National Redhead Day.

Reba says she loves being a redhead no matter if her ginger locks are long or short ... but she's getting dragged in the replies.

Martha Stewart's criticism of Ryan Reynolds' "very serious" off-camera persona should be taken with a grain of salt ... given the fact the actor's been quite vocal about his past anxiety hurdles.

A source close to Ryan tells TMZ ... the actor has made no secret about his anxious and racing mind ... which means sometimes he shuts down around people.

As our source puts it ... Blake Lively's husband likes being quiet over being "on" ALL the time.

Donald Trump is trolling President Biden for calling MAGA folks "garbage" ... by riding around in a swing state in a custom garbage truck.

Trump pulled up on the media in a MAGA garbage truck Wednesday in Wisconsin ... saying the truck was in honor of Kamala Harris and Biden.

The garbage truck was waiting for Trump to land at an airport in Green Bay ... and he got in the passenger seat and answered questions about Biden and Puerto Rico.

11:31 AM PT -- Jenna Dewan's fiancé, Steve Kazee, is clarifying his cryptic laughing post he shared in the aftermath of Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz's split ... defending his upload had nothing to do with JD's ex.

Steve posted on his Instagram Stories Wednesday amid the growing controversy ... explaining he was simply laughing about his houseplants.

He wrote ... "A guy can't laugh about a houseplant on Tik Tok in todays [sic] world I see ..."

Mike Myers could be a legit spy ... 'cause the "Austin Powers" star recently walked the streets of London as an ideal man of mystery.

The iconic 'SNL' alum and movie star strolled through the capital of England completely unnoticed Tuesday ... alongside his wife, Kelly Tisdale.

MM appeared to be checking out upscale spots in St. James, including Fortnum & Mason -- known for gourmet groceries -- and Selfridges -- a fancy department store.

D.L. Hughley and Cedric The Entertainer say Black households don't need to throw out all their baby oil in the wake of the Diddy indictment ... but don't expect to find any bottles in Hughley's house!!!

The comedians were out to dinner in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night when a photog asked them if Diddy's scandal had ruined baby oil for the culture. The feds have said they seized 1,000 bottles of baby oil from Diddy's homes, claiming it played a big part in his alleged "Freak Off" parties.

D.L. says as long as the baby oil is full of aloe vera and not "drugs" it's kosher ... but as far as he's concerned, he's never using it again.

Charles Barkley was targeted with yet another prank on the "NBA on TNT" set on Tuesday ... this time, the Hall of Famer was victim to a Halloween-themed smoke attack!!

The Chuckster was at his usual spot on the desk alongside Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson as he weighed in on the New York Knicks ... when out of nowhere, his area started to fill with fog.

Barkley's analysis was quickly derailed ... and he looked puzzled as he started to choke.

Dwyane Wade's new statue ain't just feeling the heat from internet trolls ... at least one former NBA star is clowning it as well -- with Chris Webber telling TMZ Sports he thinks the monument looks like Morpheus!

We caught up with C Webb out at LAX on Tuesday -- and when we asked about the Wade sculpture that was just erected at the Kaseya Center in Miami on Sunday ... he couldn't help but roast the artwork.

He told us he thinks it looks more like Laurence Fishburne's character in "The Matrix" ... or even Chris Rock's Pookie from "New Jack City."

One Arizona prankster is putting the trick in "trick or treat" ... donning a Michael Myers mask to scare drivers stuck in standstill traffic.

Check it out ... the unnamed culprit is seen wearing dark coveralls and the signature mask of the murderous villain in the "Halloween" horror franchise ... best known for starring Jamie Lee Curtis.

In a video making the rounds online ... the masked rascal carries a fake knife while creeping up on cars stuck in a nightmare traffic jam north of Phoenix, Arizona.

Timothée Chalamet supporting fans calling themselves by his name ... pulling up to an impromptu look-alike contest in NYC -- and, driving the crowd wild.

Here's the deal ... an unofficial Chalamet look-alike contest took place in Washington Square Park Sunday, with a massive crowd coming out to watch the spectacle.

The winner of the contest was supposed to make just $50 ... but, it seems participants got a second reward too -- a meeting with the "Dune: Part Two" star.
