Breathe easy, Bengals fans ... Chad Johnson tells TMZ Sports he's been in touch with Tee Higgins recently, and he's confident the wide receiver's gripe with Cincinnati will get smoothed over sooner rather than later.

If you've missed it, the Bengals star wideout has been upset with his contract situation in Cincy for a while now ... after he and the team have repeatedly disagreed on the figures of his annual salary.

Reportedly, Higgins wants a deal near $25 mil a year, but the Bengals haven't been willing to pay him that. In fact, they've been so far apart, the Cincinnati franchise tagged him earlier this year -- meaning if the two sides don't reach an agreement soon, the wideout will have to play on a one-year pact worth roughly $21 million.

Bill Maher's taking aim at America's top cop, Attorney General Merrick Garland ... questioning why Democrats even gave him the job, and calling him out for screwing up federal prosecution of Donald Trump.

Maher's dismantling of the AG went down on Friday night's episode of his show, 'Real Time' ... and while he had plenty of disdain for Trump and his hush money trial in NYC, the comedian unloaded most of his ire on Garland for moving at a glacial pace to even indict Trump.

Remember, Trump's current trial is in NY state court for allegedly falsifying business records related to hush money paid to Stormy Daniels -- and Maher makes it clear, in pretty hilarious fashion, why Trump should be found guilty. Gotta tip our hat on the El Chapo drug mule joke. 😂

President Biden's got a nice chunk o' change for his campaign war chest after visiting Los Angeles, but it did the opposite for the city ... draining millions from the budget.

According to documents, obtained by TMZ, additional LAPD staffing costs to keep POTUS secure during his December trip, cost L.A. just north of $2.6 million ... with much of it going toward the boots on the ground.

Halle Berry es una apasionada de la menopausia, y habla de ello en público nada menos que en las escaleras del Capitolio de EE.UU., donde aboga por una mayor concientización al respecto.

La actriz subió a un podio el jueves en Washington, donde estuvo rodeada de varios senadores de EE.UU. que acababan de presentar un proyecto de ley que busca sustancialmente más fondos y recursos para la menopausia... algo por lo que todas las mujeres tienen pasar.

Ahí es donde Halle entra en acción. Ella se levantó y habló de su propia experiencia con la menopausia y gritó desde la cima de la montaña, dejando que todos sepan que está pasando por ese momento en su vida.

Halle Berry is passionate about her menopause -- and she's talking about it in public ... on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, no less, where she's advocating for more awareness on this.

Travis Kelce puede ser el tight end mejor pagado de la NFL, pero es un poco simplón en comparación a lo que gana su novia Taylor Swift, algo que Jimmy Kimmel advirtió.

Jimmy Kimmel se burló de la extensión del contrato de 2 años del jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs durante el monólogo de apertura de su show esta semana. Aunque Travis va a recibir $34 millones con su nuevo acuerdo, Jimmy señala, y con razón, que es "dinero de goma" para Taylor y su patrimonio neto de mil millones de dólares.

Jimmy bromeó: "¿Te imaginas estar en una relación en la que ganas 34 millones de dólares y sigues siendo el novio arruinado?".

Kaley Cuoco se ha separado oficialmente de su casa en Los Ángeles, vendiendo el lugar por millones de dólares.

La propiedad de 9 acres de la actriz acaba de ser vendida a un nuevo propietario, esto después de que ella la comprara por $5.25 millones a Taylor Lautner en 2022. Ahora tiene nuevos propietarios, a menos de un año de haber sido listada.

La casa se vendió por casi $5.5 millones, así que fue un buen negocio después de todo, y Kaley anotó una victoria en el mercado de la vivienda. Francamente, es un mercado difícil estos días.

Travis Kelce may be the highest paid NFL tight end, but it's chump change compared to what his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, makes ... something Jimmy Kimmel pointed out.

JK poked fun at the Kansas City Chiefs player's 2-year contract extension during the opening monologue for his show this week. While Travis is raking in $34 mil with his new deal, Jimmy rightly notes ... it's "gum money" to Taylor and her billion-dollar net worth.

Jimmy quipped ... "Can you imagine being in a relationship where you make $34 million and you’re still the broke boyfriend?"

Kaley Cuoco has officially parted ways with her crib in L.A. -- selling the place for millions of dollars ... and raking in a nice little bundle that puts her in the black.

The actress's 9-acre estate just recently sold to a new owner -- this after she snapped it up for $5.25 million from Taylor Lautner in 2022 -- now has new owners ... less than a year after being listed.

The house sold for nearly $5.5 mil -- so, a good deal all around ... as Kaley walks away with a profit, which is a win in the housing market. Frankly, it's rough out there these days.

Jamie Lynn Spears no está preocupada por los desagradables comentarios de su hermana contra ella. Personas cercanas a Jamie revelan que ella ha desarrollado una manera positiva de ver las molestas cosas que dice Britney.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Jamie Lynn solo está preocupada por el bienestar de Britney, por lo que en realidad no le importan los insultos que dispare en las redes sociales, porque cada comentario es una señal de que Brit sigue viva.

This revelation about Jamie Lynn's outlook comes on the heels of Britney repeatedly calling her a "little bitch" and a "little s***" in a rambling, barely coherent video she posted, then deleted from Instagram.

O.J. Simpson's executor is ready to talk money with the people to whom Simpson died owing tens of millions of dollars -- but he's not making any promises about what the estate will pay them ... TMZ has learned.

Malcolm LaVergne -- O.J.'s longtime lawyer and now executor of his estate -- sent a letter, dated April 25, to lawyers for the Brown and Goldman families regarding their civil judgments against O.J. ... and inviting them to a meeting this month to discuss their probate claims against the estate.

Among the topics LaVergne says he wants to share with Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman's families -- O.J.'s living revocable trust, his last 2 years of federal tax returns, federal tax liens, cash and jewelry LaVergne took from O.J.'s house after he died and videos he shot of Simpson's residence.
