Dave Chappelle's responding to Katt Williams' viral Club Shay Shay interview ... and he's pissed about who KW went and fired at.

The controversial actor/comedian did a stand-up set at MonDeRays at the Hollywood Improv Friday night where he shared his disappointment with Katt -- particularly outraged that his fellow comedian exclusively went after Black comedians.

DC said, "He ethered n*****. He didn't say anything about any of these white boys. None of these white boys function like that." Basically, Dave seems to be saying he's not seeing white comedians rake each other over the coals ... but Katt went after a whole lotta Black artists.

Chappelle added that "hurt people hurt people," but acknowledged he, himself, is also a hurt person ... and you don't see him throwing shade at his fellow comics.

He did defend a couple of Katt's targets -- specifically Cedric the Entertainer and Steve Harvey -- though both guys caught a couple strays in his defense.

CTE got it worse ... Chappelle said going after Cedric -- who Katt said was stealing jokes -- makes no sense because he's "old" and "fat" ... ya gotta think Cedric might be throwing a bit of side-eye at Dave for those adjectives.

As for SH, Dave said he shouldn't draw any ire because he's out of the stand-up game at this point -- focusing more on hosting TV shows like "Family Feud" and "Judge Steve Harvey."

Chappelle added his impersonation of Katt too -- full of profanity and a high-pitched voice -- before pointing out KW never really copped to anything he did ... instead choosing to focus on what other comedians did to one another.

Another big moment ... Dave rejected the claim what Katt did was good for comedy -- an argument comedian Deray Davis tried to make onstage -- saying quite simply that he put a special out the same day as the interview ... and it did fine.

If you haven't heard Williams' comments by now ... damn, there were a lot! He went after Cedric, Steve, Ludacris, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Trick Daddy and a crap ton more -- some have responded to Katt while others have stayed quiet.

Jacob Elordi tomó las riendas de 'SNL' el sábado por la noche y su monólogo, como era de esperar, comenzó con LA escena de sexo de "Saltburn".

SPOILER: El personaje de Jacob, Felix, muere y el personaje de Barry Keoghan tiene sexo en su tumba.

Jacob fue directo al grano: "Si viste la película, gracias. Si viste la película con tus padres, lo siento. Si viste la película con tu novia, de nada".

El actor australiano, que dio el puntapié inicial al primer "SNL" del año, respondió a las preguntas del público/cast, incluida una en la que le preguntaron por esa escena "asquerosa" de su película. El pobre Jacob pensó que se refería a "Saltburn", pero en realidad se refería a "The Kissing Booth".

No hay rastro de Olivia Jade durante el show, pero fue vista en un afterparty. Los dos han estado saliendo desde finales de 2021 y alla estuvo allí durante los ensayos.

Jacob está de buena racha, aparte de "Saltburn" y "Kissing Booth", protagonizó "Priscilla" el año pasado. También protagoniza "He Went That Way", que fue lanzado a principios de este mes.

Jacob Elordi took over the reins at 'SNL' Saturday night, and his monologue predictably began with THAT "Saltburn" sex scene.

SPOILER -- Jacob's character, Felix, dies and Barry Keoghan's character has sex on his grave.

Jacob got straight to the point ... "If you saw the movie, thank you. If you saw the movie with your parents, I'm sorry. If you saw the movie with your girlfriend, you're welcome."

The Aussie actor, who kicked off the first "SNL" of the year, took questions from the audience/cast, including one where he was asked about that "gross" scene in his movie. Poor Jacob thought it was about "Saltburn," but she was actually referring to "The Kissing Booth."

No sign of Olivia Jade during the show ... but she was spotted at an afterparty ... the two've been dating since the end of 2021. She was there during rehearsals.

Jacob's on quite the run ... aside from "Saltburn" and "Kissing Booth," he starred in "Priscilla" last year. He also stars in "He Went That Way," which was released earlier this month.

Another week has come and gone at TMZ -- and best believe we covered all the big hits in Hollywood on our shows ... which ran the gamut from serious to downright fun(ny).

Kicking things off with 'TMZ Live,' we dove right in on the newest Alec Baldwin news -- namely, that he's being recharged in the ongoing 'Rust' criminal case ... from which he was absolved for a while -- that is, until Friday ... when he got with new charges again.

Harvey and Charles were asking the obvious question -- what changed between them dropping the initial charges and this new one ... and they think they have an idea.

Over on the 'TMZ on TV' side of things ... the gang talked about these new hints that Justin Timberlake's dropping new music, and seems to be calling his album a certain title.

We did some digging and pieced together what that may be -- but the larger takeaway here is ... JT needs this one to do it big, 'cause he's kinda been slacking in the hits department.

Last but not least ... we come to 'TMZ Sports,' where Babcock and Mojo chopped it up with none other than Rob Gronkowski -- who says he's ready to rage ahead of the Super Bowl.

The relationship between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco is so serious that she's now introducing him to her fatherly figure TV costars Steve Martin and Martin Short.

TMZ obtained these photos of Selena and Benny interacting with Steve and Martin on the red carpet at the 75th Annual Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles last Monday.

As you may know, Selena, Steve, and Martin all star in the hit Hulu show, "Only Murders In The Building," which was up for 11 Emmy Awards, but snagged only one statue for Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Program (Half-Hour).

Eyewitnesses tell us ... the meeting between the four celebs occurred just prior to the kick-off of the gala event. Selena was first to approach Steve and Martin on the red carpet, giving them big hugs before chatting with them a bit.

Our sources say she then introduced her record producer boyfriend, Benny, to her costars, while the three men shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

Sources tell us everyone got along great and it seemed as if Selena was presenting her new beau for the first time to a couple of fatherly figures in her life. Of course, we can't be sure if they had ever met before this encounter.

After talking amongst each other for about five minutes, the foursome left the red carpet to go inside the theater for the awards show.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West showed up for their son Saint's basketball game Friday night – and the former couple came together and did their best to hide the multitude of issues between them.

Kanye arrived separately from Kim and their daughter, Chicago, at the sporting event in LA Friday night. While rooting on Saint during the match-up, Kim and Kanye had an interaction, which was photographed by paparazzi.

Check out the images, obtained by TMZ ... Kim is standing beside Kanye with Chicago between them, talking to the rapper about something. What they discussed is anyone's guess.

Other pictures captured the exes sitting in the same row but several chairs apart with Kanye texting on his phone and Kim chatting with Saint. Their other kids -- North and Psalm — did not attend the game.

As we reported, Kim and Kanye finalized their divorce in 2022 after 7 years of marriage and have been co-parenting ever since. The pair have reunited before at various gatherings, but only in support of their children.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... behind the scenes there have been problems with various child-rearing issues ... where Kim and Kanye don't see eye to eye. And, we're told, Kim is super upset over Kanye's latest torrent of antisemitic rants, praising Hitler and the Nazis.

Kim Kardashian y Kanye West se presentaron para el partido de básquetbol de su hijo Saint el viernes por la noche e hicieron todo lo posible por ocultar la gran cantidad de problemas que hay entre ellos.

Kanye llegó por separado de Kim y su hija, Chicago, al evento deportivo de Los Ángeles. Mientras animaban a Saint durante el partido, ambos tuvieron una interacción, que fue fotografiada por los paparazzi.

Echa un vistazo a las imágenes obtenidas por TMZ. Kim está de pie junto a Kanye con Chicago entre ellos, hablando con el rapero sobre algo. Lo que discutieron es una incógnita.

Otras imágenes capturaron a los ex sentados en la misma fila, aunque había varias sillas de distancia entre ellos. Kanye estaba enviando mensajes de texto en su teléfono y Kim estaba charlando con Saint. Sus otros hijos, North y Psalm, no asistieron al partido.

Como informamos, Kim y Kanye pusieron fin a su divorcio en 2022 después de 7 años de matrimonio y desde entonces han criado a sus hijos juntos. La pareja se ha encontrado antes para otras reuniones, pero solo para apoyar a sus hijos.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que detrás de cámaras ha habido varios problemas respecto a la crianza de sus hijos, en los que Kim y Kanye no se ven cara a cara. Y nos dicen que Kim está súper molesta por la última diatriba antisemita de Kanye, alabando a Hitler y los nazis.

1/20 10:23 AM PT -- Rick Harrison posted a tribute to Adam on his Instagram saying "You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔"

Fans and celebs left supportive comments on his post, including Donald Trump Jr., who stated "I'm so sorry man."

And, his brother Corey also took to Insta to post a sweet message with a pic of the two in the tub together as kids.

6:46 PM PT -- The Harrison family tells TMZ ... "Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss."

Rick Harrison's son Adam has died under tragic circumstances ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the 'Pawn Stars' reality star tells us Adam recently died from a fatal overdose ... and we're told the family only just found out today. At this time, it's unclear where Adam was exactly when he passed -- and the specific circumstances are also unknown at this time.

Las Vegas Metro PD tells us they're investigating the case.

Adam is one of Rick's three kids -- all boys -- and he's been mostly off the radar in terms of Rick's show and store. Word is ... Adam helped out at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop once upon a time -- but has since stepped away to do his own thing.

He doesn't appear to have been featured in any of the episodes from what we can see.

Rick had two kids with his first wife Kim ... Corey and Adam -- and he also had a son, Jake, with his second wife, Tracy.

While Rick's oldest son Corey is heavily involved in "Pawn Stars," first appearing on the reality show way back in 2009, Adam mostly remained out of the spotlight.

With Adam never really getting involved on the show, there's not a lot known about him ... though some folks have claimed he made a living as a plumber. We've heard he worked professionally in some kind of trade, but no word on what kind of job specifically.

Adam was only 39.

RIP

6:46 PM PT -- La familia Harrison le dice a TMZ: "Nuestra familia está muy triste por la muerte de Adán. Pedimos privacidad mientras lloramos su pérdida".

El hijo de Rick Harrison, Adam, ha muerto en trágicas circunstancias ... TMZ ha averiguado.

Un representante de la estrella del reality 'Pawn Stars' nos dice que Adam murió recientemente de una sobredosis fatal y que la familia acaba de enterarse hoy. En este momento, no está claro dónde estaba Adam exactamente cuando murió y las circunstancias específicas también son desconocidas por ahora.

Las Vegas Metro PD nos dice que están investigando el caso.

Adán es uno de los tres hijos de Rick, todos hombres, y ha estado en su mayoría fuera del radar en términos del espectáculo de Rick y su tienda. Se dice que Adam ayudó en el World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop alguna vez, pero desde entonces se había alejado para hacer sus propios proyectos.

No parece haber aparecido en ninguno de los episodios por lo que podemos ver.

Rick tuvo dos hijos con su primera esposa Kim, Corey y Adam, y también tuvo un hijo, Jake, con su segunda esposa Tracy.

El hijo mayor de Rick, Corey, ha estado muy involucrado en "Pawn Stars". Su primera aparición  en el reality show fue en 2009. Pero Adam se mantuvo siempre fuera de los focos.

Como nunca se involucró realmente involucrarse con el programa, no hay mucha información sobre su vida, aunque algunas personas han afirmado que se ganaba la vida como plomero. Hemos oído que trabajó profesionalmente en algún tipo de comercio, pero no se sabe qué tipo de trabajo en concreto.

Adam solo tenía 39 años.

Que en paz descanse.

Bill Maher is back for a new season, and he came out swinging against both the left and right extremes, saying both sides are so crazy they meet the standard for involuntary commitment.

The "Real Time" host bore down on both extremes Friday night, proclaiming 2024 as the year of sanity. He says enough of the extremes getting all the attention. And then, he gave them some attention, but clearly not the kind they want.

Bill went in hard on the right, noting the leading Republican candidate is kind of dictator. On the left, he noted 3 university presidents could not bring themselves to squarely condemn calls for the genocide of Jews. As BM says, "Can't anyone say f**k no?!?"

He scoffs at folks who are supporting Hamas, especially those Hamas would kill because of their views, race, sexual orientation, etc. Bill says people who are supporting causes that would ultimately kill them meet the standard for involuntary commitment ... i.e. a danger to themselves.

And speaking of extremes ... a Lululemon employee was fired for getting a shoplifter arrested, and Trump wants to shoot shoplifters. As Bill says, why can't we just find a middle ground?

The ladies of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" better thank their lucky stars NeNe Leakes isn't a Bravo producer ... cause a bunch of them would be out of a job if she was.

We got the former 'RHOA' star at LAX Wednesday, and she didn't take it easy on the show that made her famous ... saying quite easily that the dip in ratings means showrunners need to blow the damn thing up!!!

NL says it's a bad look for the show to keep running out the same cast over and over, and she thinks some fresh blood might be good for the 15-year-old program.

Now, she's not talking about a total reset (a la "The Real Housewives of New York" after season 13) ... but Leakes says she thinks "at least half" the girls have to get the boot.

She's not talking about anyone in particular though -- since NeNe doesn't even watch the show anymore! Instead, Leakes says she sees the clips via social media ... adding it's simply "not the same" as it was back in the day.

NeNe adds she could definitely help with the show's ratings ... but she doesn't seem super interested in coming back -- saying she has no message for Andy Cohen or the 'Housewives' team ... remember, she's got a pretty fraught relationship with the show after accusing executives (and Kim Zolciak) of racism in 2022.

A reunion isn't the craziest idea in the world though -- NeNe's clearly gotten over her issues with KZ, talking her up a ton during the same convo with our photog ... maybe she's ready to mend a couple more fences?

Leakes' final advice to producers ... keep the fans in mind while making the show -- the biggest priority should be to please the audience.

Julia Lemigova is trading in the horsepower in her classic Mustang for goat power ... and one lucky buyer -- with a whole lot of cash -- can benefit from a sweet new ride.

"The Real Housewives of Miami" star is selling her vintage 1966 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback ... a car decked out in gorgeous maroon paint with a heck of a lot of features and just 12,486 miles on it.

The car's got a 289 V8 engine, vintage air conditioning, custom aluminum wheels -- that look just like the OGs -- and a custom grill, parchment pony interior, wood steering wheel, retro sound custom stereo and fold-down rear seat ... talk about a blast from the past!

Of course, another major selling point is its previous owner ... JL's got the car up for $42,500, and she doesn't really wanna part with it -- but she tells TMZ she needs the space for hay and animal food now that her goat, Elvis, is staying with her a few nights a week.

Julia tells us she loved the idea of riding around South Beach with her wife, tennis legend Martina Navratilova, in the passenger seat ... but found she's more of a pickup truck girl instead.

Not only is she not getting enough miles out of it, but Lemigova says it's taking up space -- space she needs to store Elvis' hay and animal food since he's staying with the couple a few nights a week now ... he used to stay full-time at their farm but apparently he's more of a house goat now.

Don't worry animal lovers ... JL and MN have arranged temporary accommodations for their happy friends while they unload the car -- so he's not out wandering the streets of Miami.

Potential owners beware -- the car's got a manual transmission which Julia tells us she learned to drive while still living in Europe -- so you'd better know how to drive a stick!!!

Ashley Park is thankful for her good health ... revealing she was sent to the hospital while on vacation over the holidays with an infection that affected several of her organs.

The actress/musician shared a few snaps to IG on Friday featuring her laid out in a hospital bed ... with her "Emily in Paris" costar and rumored beau, Paul Forman, by her side.

In the caption, AP wrote she had a bout of tonsillitis around New Year's ... normally a relatively routine ailment to deal with -- but unfortunately for Ashley, it spiraled into full-blown critical septic shock. She added she was improving "despite what we had initially been told" ... sounds like doctors thought this was gonna be a whole heck of a lot worse.

She also divulged she was forced to go to three different hospitals and spent a full week in the ICU ... and thanked Forman for being by her side through all of the scary moments -- seemingly confirming their romance by saying she loved him "More than I can ever say."

'EIP's leading lady Lily Collins wished her well, commenting on the post, "I can hardly look at these without crying. I love you sister and I’m forever grateful you’re on the other side" ... she added she couldn't wait to give Park and Forman big hugs when she saw them.

Park's no stranger to hospitals ... she beat leukemia when she was just a teenager -- but still a scary few weeks for the star whose career is taking off like a rocket!

On top of 'Emily,' Ashley starred in the most recent season of "Only Murders in the Building" ... and fans can catch her in theaters teaching French to Regina George and her cronies in "Mean Girls."

Ashley Park está agradecida por su buena salud y reveló que fue enviada al hospital mientras estaba de vacaciones por una infección que afectó a varios de sus órganos.

La actriz y músico compartió unas fotos en Instagram el viernes donde aparece acostada en un hospital, con el coprotagonista de "Emily in Paris" y rumoreado novio Paul Forman, a su lado.

En el comentario escribió que tuvo una amigdalitis alrededor de Año Nuevo, una dolencia relativamente rutinaria de tratar, pero que por desgracia para Ashley, se convirtió en un shock séptico crítico en toda regla. Añadió que estaba mejorando "a pesar de lo que nos habían dicho inicialmente". Suena como que los médicos pensaban que esto iba a ser una pesadilla mucho peor.

También divulgó que se vio obligada a ir a tres hospitales diferentes y que pasó una semana completa en la UCI y agradeció a Forman por estar a su lado en los momentos de mayor miedo, aparentemente confirmando su romance diciendo que lo ama "más de lo que puede decir".

La protagonista de "Emily in Paris", Lily Collins, le deseó lo mejor. En el post comentó: "Apenas puedo mirar esto sin llorar. Te quiero hermana y estoy eternamente agradecida de que estés del otro lado". Añadió que no puede esperar a darles un gran abrazo a ambos cuando los vea.

Park no es ajena a los hospitales. Venció la leucemia cuando era solo una adolescente, pero aún así, son unas semanas de miedo para la estrella cuya, carrera está despegando como un cohete.

Además de "Emily in Paris", Ashley protagonizó la temporada más reciente de "Only Murders in the Building" y los fans pueden verla en los cines enseñando francés a Regina George y sus compinches en "Mean Girls".

Elisabeth Moss' dad, Ron Moss, has died ... TMZ has learned.

The actress's father passed away Thursday night in Clearwater, FL after a brief battle with an infection -- this according to his grandson, Max, the executor of Ron's estate. We're told he was surrounded by family, and that his death was peaceful.

Max writes of his granddad ... "Ron made so many friends throughout his rich life and we want everyone to know that you all meant so much to him. Thank you for everything that any of you did for him throughout his life."

Ron was a professional musician, and was a trained trombone player who played in jazz bands throughout his life ... including gigging with none other than the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige. Yes, Ron was also a Scientologist himself ... as is Elisabeth.

He actually served as a manager for some big stars over the years too -- including Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes and others. Chick is Elisabeth's godfather, interestingly enough.

While he was born and raised across the pond, he and his ex-wife, Linda, raised Elisabeth and her brother Derek here in the States ... Los Angeles specifically. While Elisabeth has posed for some shots with her dad ... it doesn't appear they were that close of late.

Unclear if Elisabeth is aware of her father's death at this point -- we've reached out to her camp for comment ... but so far, no word back. Ron was 79.

El padre de Elisabeth Moss, Ron Moss, ha muerto ... TMZ ha averiguado.

El padre de la actriz falleció el jueves por la noche en Clearwater, Florida, después de una breve batalla contra una infección. Esto, de acuerdo a su nieto, Max, el albacea de la herencia de Ron. Nos dicen que estaba rodeado de su familia y que su muerte fue pacífica.

Max escribe de su abuelo: "Ron hizo tantos amigos a lo largo de su rica vida y queremos que todos sepan que significaban mucho para él. Gracias por todo lo que cualquiera de ustedes hizo por él a lo largo de su vida".

Ron era músico profesional y trombonista de formación, y tocó en bandas de jazz durante toda su vida, incluyendo actuaciones con nada menos que el padre del líder de la Cienciología, David Miscavige. Sí, Ron también era un cienciólogo, al igual que Elisabeth.

En realidad sirvió como manager de algunas grandes estrellas en los últimos años también, incluyendo Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes y otros. Chick es el padrino de Elisabeth, curiosamente.

Aunque nació y creció al otro lado del charco, él y su ex mujer Linda criaron a Elisabeth y a su hermano Derek en Estados Unidos, concretamente en Los Ángeles. Aunque Elisabeth ha posado para algunas fotos con su padre no parece que fueran tan cercanos últimamente.

No está claro si Elisabeth es consciente de la muerte de su padre en este momento. Nos pusimos en contacto con su equipo para que hicieran comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta. Ron tenía 79 años.
