11:30 AM PT -- Hannah Berner has responded to the online response to her Netflix roast joke about Blake Lively, writing in an Instagram Story post ... "My joke in the Netflix roast was filmed before news of the lawsuit. To be 100 percent clear, I support Blake xoxo"

In comedy, timing is everything ... and, the time to make jokes about Blake Lively's alleged bad behavior has clearly passed -- and one comedian may catch flak for a previously recorded crack.

Here's the deal ... Netflix's "Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year" comedy special came out on Friday -- with well-known comics riffing on the biggest stories of the year.

Hannah Berner -- a former reality TV star turned stand-up comedian -- decided to take aim at Lively over rumors about her difficult personality.

Comedian Tim Dillon has a new motto for the healthcare industry ... joking as the ghost of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson that the company will "deny, defend, decompose."

The star appears in Netflix's "Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year" -- which dropped Friday on the streaming giant -- hopping onstage in a get-up reminiscent of what Thompson wore when he was shot in Manhattan earlier this month ... with chains added to the ensemble.

Dillon's ghoulish gray appearance was met with a pretty mixed reaction from the audience -- some cheers, some groans. Dillon clearly picked up on the tension ... breaking character for a moment and joking he's "going to hell for this, you might as well laugh."

Dave Portnoy is not a fan of Beyoncé and he clearly wants the world to know it ... publicly ripping her during her big Christmas Day halftime show.

The Barstool Sports honcho went in on Queen Bey on Wednesday as she was serenading NRG Stadium in Houston with "Cowboy Carter" tunes ... declaring her "LOST" without Destiny's Child.

Portnoy didn't elaborate much further as he watched the "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" songstress croon during the Ravens vs. Texans intermission ... although he did encourage his fans to roast her on his outlet's new Jon Gruden show, "The Shred Line."

Stand-up comedian Tim Dillon's wading into one of the biggest stories of 2024 ... playing slain UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a Netflix special.

Here's the deal ... on Friday, Netflix is releasing "Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year" -- a roast taking a flamethrower to some of the biggest news stories from 2024 as we head into 2025.

Of course, arguably the biggest story of the year was the shooting death of Thompson earlier this month ... and sources familiar with the taping tell us that Dillon and Netflix didn't shy away from it.

"Tiger King" star James Garretson was arrested in Florida this week ... and he claims the bust may have something to do with his involvement in the Netflix series and Joe Exotic case.

James was arrested Monday night in Marathon ... and police in the Florida Keys claim he was driving with a suspended driver's license.

According to the arrest report, obtained by TMZ, officers say they observed James driving in Marathon and recognized him from a previous police encounter. Cops say they checked his license in a database and saw it was suspended.

It is no secret Aaron Rodgers and his family aren't on good terms ... but now the Jets signal caller is delving deeper into some of those issues, saying the rift between his folks was so bad, he had to "re-parent" himself.

The 41-year-old 4x NFL MVP QB opened up on the subject in his new three-part Netflix docuseries "Aaron Rodgers: Enigma," one of the only times he's publicly addressed the topic.

“At times when you have some dysfunction or some separation in your family life, you have to kind of re-parent yourself and give yourself what you didn’t get or wanted to hear more of when you were a kid, and I think for me, I just wanted to hear, ‘I’m proud of you,’" Rodgers said during the second episode of the series.

We caught up with the actress outside Jamie's 57th birthday celebration in Los Angeles Tuesday night ... and, we had to know what it was like celebrating with Foxx after a brain bleed nearly claimed his life.

Vivica says it was so rewarding to see Jamie up on his feet, being himself again ... adding she's glad he came back in his own time instead of rushing through his recovery.

The actor stopped for a chat with TMZ while leaving his Mr. Chow birthday dinner in Beverly Hills Tuesday after partying with the likes of Halle Bailey, Niecy Nash, Jonathan Majors, DeRay Davis and more ... telling us this one was special 'cause there was a time he wasn’t sure he’d live to see it.

"Celebration" is definitely the vibe for Jamie right now! He's fresh off dropping his successful Netflix comedy special, where he opened up about his wild ride -- confirming it was a brain bleed that caused the stroke that put him in the hospital back in April '23.

Diane Warren's still all smiles, keeping the faith that one day that Oscar will make its way to her mantel.

We caught up with the legend herself -- after 15 near-misses, the songwriter's hoping her 16th shot after submitting her song "The Journey" will finally bring that trophy home.

Jamie Foxx just ended the mystery surrounding his health scare -- he revealed he suffered a stroke last year that nearly took his life.

The actor opened up in his new Netflix comedy special, "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was...", sharing that he suffered a brain bleed in April 2023 that led to the stroke while filming his movie, "Back in Action," in Atlanta.

An emotional Foxx teared up as he recounted the terrifying moment, saying, "April 11, I was having a bad headache, and I asked my boy for an aspirin. I realized quickly that when you're in a medical emergency, your boys don't know what the f*** to do."

Jamie Foxx is opening up about his hospitalization last year ... describing his mystery health scare as a "near-death experience."

Jamie recorded the special in October and two of the people in the crowd told CNN Jamie revealed his diagnosis and detailed his recovery.

Tyler Perry is all about one leading lady -- calling it a dream come true to work with Oprah!

We caught up with Tyler Wednesday, and he couldn’t stop gushing about directing Oprah for the first time in his new Netflix film, "The Six Triple Eight" ... making it clear that teaming up with the cultural icon is nothing short of incredible.

While Tyler’s a talented director in his own right, we had to ask if Oprah would crush it as a director herself -- it’s one of the few things she hasn’t tackled yet. Check out the video to hear his take!

Netflix is serving up some hot holiday heat with "Hot Frosty" and "The Merry Gentlemen" ... and a top sex doc says these films are a total game-changer 'cause it's just what women need to jingle their bells this season.

Here's the holly jolly ... 2 holiday Netflix films that are all horned up with hunks -- something Hallmark couldn't get away with -- have taken the streamer by storm and gone viral this season.

Sex expert Dr. Laura Berman tells TMZ ... Netflix is killing it with these flicks during the crazy holiday season when libidos tend to take a nosedive -- with women releasing their pent-up frustration with the Hallmark-style sweetness ... but with hot men getting objectified (for once!).

Laura says these steamy holiday flicks are perfect timing -- single women are looking for a stress reliever and longing for someone ... while even women in a relationship need a break from the holiday madness.

She adds it’s clear there’s women at Netflix behind these films who get that women love porn with a plot, and we can totally expect a lot more hot guy holiday content in the future.

But, don’t get too excited, 'cause Laura says we’re still a long way from a full-on Hallmark-style porno!

Jessica Alba's kicking back on her family vacation to Mexico ... lying out on the sand and getting a tan in a skimpy, two-piece.

Her man Cash laid down right next to her ... showing off his powerful chest as he too caught a few rays.

Amanda Serrano suffered a GNARLY gash above her eye fighting Katie Taylor, but the boxing star tells us she wasn't concerned about the massive cut ... she was only worried she'd miss Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson!

"Thank God that the doctor was a plastic surgeon and I told him, 'Please, I have two requests. Please don't make it look really bad, and can you do it in a little rush? Because I have to go watch Jake,'" 36-year-old Serrano told Babcock on TMZ Sports.

"[The doctor] did a great job and I'm happy with it. Thank God it's in the shape of the eyebrow so you can barely see it with a little bit of makeup."
