Tom Brady got in a swole sesh with his dawgs this week -- and we mean that literally ... with the seven-time Super Bowl champion taking his furry pals to the gym in Miami!!

The legendary quarterback and FOX Sports analyst was out and about in Florida ... with his four-legged friends in tow as he left a workout.

Speaking of legs, it's clear TB12 ain't neglecting his lower limbs ... 'cause he put his chiseled gams on full display as he rocked a pair of black short shorts.

Crumbs, the world's fattest cat, sadly passed away in October ... and now we're learning more details about how the furball died.

The orange tabby suffered from heart disease caused by his obesity -- an autopsy showed he had acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. That's a life-threatening condition resulting from the build-up of fluid in the lungs due to increased heart pressure, according to multiple news outlets in Russia, where Crumbs lived.

At the time of his death, it was speculated he passed from some complication of excess weight, though tumors were also reportedly found on his spleen and other organs.

In fact, Lindsey showed off her curves in everything from a black bodysuit, to a pale pink bra and panty combo, to a white crop top -- with a noticeable amount of underboob.

The tragic news of the passing of Kirk Herbstreit's beloved dog, Ben, made its way to the Oval Office ... with President Joe Biden sending his condolences in an emotional letter to the football announcer and his family following the loss.

"Ben brought so much comfort and unconditional love to millions of Americans across our nation," POTUS wrote in the note. "In your most joyful moments and most grief-stricken days, he was there, sensitive to every unspoken feeling and emotion."

"I know what it is like to lose a beloved pet, and I hope you can find some comfort in cherishing the beautiful memories you shared with Ben. He was a good boy."

"Shameless" actress Emma Kenney just pulled off a heroic move -- swooping in to save a dog that was about to be euthanized.

Emma shared an IG Story of the cute pup being walked by an unidentified woman, explaining she and her BF, Conrad Hilton, stepped in just in time to rescue him minutes before he was set to be put to sleep ... and rushed him to L.A.'s no-kill shelter, Yogi's House.

Emma, a longtime animal activist, shared the clip to Michael Bublé's "Holly Jolly Christmas," making it clear that this pup's second chance at life is a Christmas miracle.

Sad news from the K-Pop world -- BTS member V’s beloved pet dog has died.

V shared the heartbreaking news Monday via an Instagram Story, telling fans in Korean his pet dog Yeontan had "gone on a long journey," posting a compilation of pics and videos of his furry friend on his feed to honor their time together.

The singer explained it felt right to share the sad news with the BTS ARMY -- a nickname for the boyband's fans -- since they've shown so much love to Yeontan over the years.

It's a big day for the short snout community ... 'cause the first pug in history just won the 2024 National Dog Show.

Vito the pug -- a happy-looking pup with the trademark smushed pug face -- was named best-in-show just minutes ago ... beating out a crowded field of more than 1,900 dogs consisting of more than 200 unique breeds.

Check out Vito's crowning moment ... Verde -- a Welsh terrier with long, luscious locks -- is named Reserve Best-in-Show, a second-place finish.

A famous dog has passed ... a dog famous for her owner and famous in her own right.

Birdie was a Golden Retriever owned by Jennifer Garner, who announced the pooch has passed. Jen says, “It is hard to know how to write this— it seems nuts, given the world, to mourn a pet, but since we have shared Birdie with all of you, it only seems fair to let you know of her passing.”

Birdie stopped eating last week -- a clear sign something was wrong because J.G. described the dog as a foodie -- and the fam became alarmed and took her to the vet, who delivered some horrible news -- Birdie was at the end of her life.

If you thought Charles Leclerc was just a global brand ambassador for Puma, you're sorely mistaken ... the F1 superstar is now designing shoes, too!

But, sorry Ferrari fans ... these pair are a one-of-one.

The 27-year-old Formula 1 driver is in Sin City this week for the Las Vegas Grand Prix -- the second year of the highly anticipated street circuit in and around the strip -- when the 'Rari driver took a few minutes to design the kicks.

Queen Camilla is mourning the loss of a longtime companion ... her beloved dog Beth has died.

Buckingham Palace confirmed the sad news on Monday on X ... sharing the rescue pup, a Jack Russell Terrier, had passed away.

Alongside several photos of the Queen Consort and Beth, the royal family's official X account announced the "sad farewell."

Peanut the Squirrel was on the minds of lots of folks Saturday night, from fighters to comedians.

The rodent that was suspiciously seized and killed by NY authorities earlier this month was part of a UFC victory speech by one Jim Miller, who told Joe Rogan, "I've got one thing to say first: we need justice for Peanut. It's not just the squirrel, it's all the kids that went hungry that night, and all the other things that the money and resources could've been put to."

Miller wasn't done ... he invoked DOGE, the Dept. of Government Efficiency, which Trump wants Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead. Elon and Vivek were there as Miller said, "Hopefully that DOGE cleans things up at the State level."

Piff the Magic Dragon is confirming he actually spent almost $60K to clone his late dog, Mr. Piffles ... telling TMZ he's "so glad" he did.

We caught up with the magician after the sad news his longtime performing companion and beloved Chihuahua had died ... with the "America's Got Talent" alum revealing he created a contingency plan for this inevitable day back when his pup first started getting older.

Though word of Piff's decision to clone the pup broke a while back, the British comedian assured us he "genuinely cloned" Piffles ... and even had Mr. Piffles 2.0 join him on camera for a quick hello.

Peanut The Squirrel was marked for death even before the government raided his owner's home ... and this whole case seems even more fishy.

We tackled the subject on "TMZ Live," with Harvey and Charles explaining why some of the conspiracy theories around this case aren't as crazy as they sound.

Frankly, we don't think it makes a whole lot of sense for authorities to say they ordered a fatal rabies test for Peanut because an officer got bit by the animal during the raid ... because now we know state officials advised the county to euthanize the animals a week before the raid was launched.

Some in the office think owner Mark Longo put these animals in danger by trying to make them social media stars ... but not everyone is buying it ... and the need for a search warrant here is definitely up for debate.

Piff the Magic Dragon's longtime performing companion and beloved Chihuahua, Mr. Piffles, has died ... the Las Vegas magician confirms to TMZ.

The "America's Got Talent" alum tells us ... his beloved canine conjuror passed away on November 8th, just before his 17th birthday ... with Piff crediting the rescue dog for making his act sensational.

He adds ... "For over 15 years I’ve had the privilege and the pleasure of being upstaged and outshone night after night by Mr. Piffles. He came into my life when I had nothing, and set me on the path to a career I could only dream of. In the beginning, I may have rescued him, but in the end, he rescued me."

Peanut the Squirrel is officially in the clear, testing negative for rabies after his death, but get this -- it's also emerged that both he and Fred the Raccoon were set for the chopping block days before they were seized in a raid ... and their owner is absolutely livid over it.

Mark Longo didn't hold back, telling TMZ it's hard to stomach the bombshell revelation that 4 different agencies had already given the green light to euthanize his pets 7 days before they were even taken from his Upstate New York property on October 30.

The New York Post reports state officials advised the county to euthanize the animals a week before the raid was launched. This news contradicts the New York Department of Environmental Conservation's claim that Peanut had bitten an agent during the raid ... supposedly necessitating the rabies test. Animals must be euthanized to properly test for rabies.
