Nika King says she hasn't been able to pay her rent amid the stop-and-go production schedule for "Euphoria" ... and even crazier, she says she hasn't been acting either.

The "Euphoria" star -- who plays Zendaya's on-screen mom, Leslie -- posted a clip this week showing her doing some standup comedy ... and the joke she dropped in front of a live audience had to do with how much she's struggling right now in real life.

There's some humor and truth mixed into this one ... and it's pretty astonishing to hear.

Nika says people keep asking her when Season 3 of the hit HBO show is airing, but she shrugs her shoulder ... basically admitting that she simply doesn't know. NK goes on to say that with cameras not rolling, she can't afford to pay her rent ... and hasn't for 6 months.

Worse yet, Nika says she hasn't booked anything since "Euphoria" ... which she says is surprising. However, she jokes that Taraji P. Henson told her to get used to it ... and she also jokingly pleaded with Zendaya to get back to the States so they can get back to work.

The new season of "Euphoria" doesn't have a release date yet -- and filming has been on and off over the past several months, amid the strikes and the passing of Angus Cloud.

OG "Baywatch" star Nicole Eggert says she hasn't been contacted about appearing in the upcoming reboot ... but she tells us she's open to a potential gig if producers want her.

Nicole -- who starred as Summer Quinn in the original lifeguard TV show back in the 90s -- tells TMZ … no one has reached out to her about being involved in the reimagined series, which was just recently announced, but there's a few roles she could see for herself.

While Nicole says she definitely won't be putting on the famous red bathing suit and saving lives at the beach ... she does say a small cameo or a minor role as a parent or a senior lifeguard who works behind a desk would be the best potential fit.

Unclear who will be starring as the sexy lifeguards this time -- the show is in the early stages at Fremantle and FOX -- but Nicole says she wants to see Margot Robbie in the reboot.

Another former "Baywatch" babe, Brande Roderick, tells TMZ ... she hasn't been formally contacted about being in the reboot either, though she's open to being involved and has told executive producer Michael Berk she's ready and willing to play someone's mom.

Brande says she hasn't heard about anyone from the OG cast being in the reboot ... but she's excited "Baywatch" is coming back and thinks it's cool younger generations are into the '90s now. Michael wrote scripts for the original series, and now that he's an EP on the reboot -- BR thinks there's a good chance someone from the original will make a cameo.

Whether they end up getting roles or not, Nicole and Brande both tell us the reboot is bringing the cast back in contact with one another, and they're looking forward to what this new reimagination brings. BTW, Nicole and Brande both enjoyed the 2017 "Baywatch" movie, so the OG series has been successfully rebooted ... at least as far as they're concerned.

In the meantime, Nicole says she's focused on her cancer battle and is trying to stay positive and healthy as she goes through chemotherapy treatments.

"Dancing With the Stars" pro Gleb Savchenko is trading his ballroom shoes for a bowtie and cuffs ... because he's joining Chippendales as the latest guest host with the male revue.

Our sources tell us Gleb is gearing up for a limited engagement with the legendary Chippendales hunks ... joining the guys onstage for 3 weeks of performances at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

We're told Gleb will be doing the Chippendales thing in Sin City from April 25 to May 12 ... and once he gets his feet wet, he's going to hit the road and join the world tour cast for 6 Atlantic City shows in July at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Gleb -- who partnered with Chrishell Stause on 'DWTS' -- says he's thrilled and honored by the opportunity, and it's going to be the first time he's performed in Las Vegas.

Be on the lookout ... our sources say Gleb's a big Patrick Swayze fan, and he's going to bust out some of Patrick's iconic dance moves during his Chippendales run.

Frankly, Gleb checks all the Chippendales boxes here ... he's a tall, dark and handsome dancer with a pretty solid stage presence to boot, so this move makes a lot of sense.

Gleb's joining Chippendales as the show celebrates its 45th anniversary this year, and he's got some big ... shoes to fill as far as celeb guest hosts go.

It's hump day, and while we're almost done with the week ... we're just getting started on TV.

Let's kick things off with 'TMZ Live,' where Charles and Charlie talked about the latest wave of concern for Taylor Swift from her adoring fans ... this time, it came in the form of comments that suggested she was sick over a perceived cough at her Singapore show.

Obviously, their angst comes from a good place ... but Taylor's doing just fine, everyone!

Next, we land on 'TMZ on TV' ... where the gang talked about Charles Barkley's promise to put hands on any Black person who he saw rocking the Donald Trump mug shot in 2024.

Strong words, of course ... and it spurred even stronger debate in the newsroom here.

Finally, we finish with 'TMZ Sports' ... where Babcock and Mojo talked about Russell Wilson.

Nicole Eggert -estrella de "Guardianes de la bahía" original- dice que no ha sido contactada para aparecer en el reboot, pero nos dice que está abierta a hacerlo si los productores quieren.

Nicole -que interpretó a Summer Quinn en el programa original en los años 90- le dice a TMZ que nadie se ha puesto en contacto con ella acerca de participar en el reboot de la serie, la cual fue anunciada recientemente.

Aunque Nicole dice que definitivamente no va a ponerse el famoso traje de baño rojo y salvar vidas en la playa, dice que un pequeño cameo o un papel menor como una madre o una socorrista de alto nivel que trabaja detrás de un escritorio sería una buena opción.

No está claro quién va a protagonizar la película esta vez -el proyecto está en las primeras etapas en Freemantle y FOX- pero Nicole dice que quiere ver a Margot Robbie en ella.

Otra ex "Baywatch" -Brande Roderick- le dice a TMZ que no la han contactado para el reboot, aunque está abierta a participar y le dijo al productor ejecutivo Michael Berk que está lista y dispuesta a interpretar a la mamá de alguien.

Brande dice que no ha oído hablar de nadie del elenco original, pero está emocionada de que el show vuelva con gente nueva. Michael escribió guiones para la serie original, y ahora que él es un EP en el reboot - BR cree que hay una buena probabilidad de que alguien de la original hará un cameo.

Ya sea que terminen consiguiendo papeles o no, Nicole y Brande nos dicen que el reboot está haciendo que el elenco se ponga en contacto otra vez. Por cierto, Nicole y Brande disfrutaron de la película de 2017, por lo que la serie origial ha sido reiniciada con éxito, al menos en lo que a ellas respecta.

Mientras tanto, Nicole dice que está enfocada en su batalla contra el cáncer y está tratando de mantenerse positiva y saludable mientras pasa por los tratamientos de quimioterapia.

Drake Bell se está abriendo sobre las afirmaciones que dicen que fue abusado por un entrenador que trabajó con él cuando era un adolescente en Nickelodeon.

El martes se dio a conocer que el actor será una de las ex estrellas infantiles que hablará en el próximo documental "Quiet on Set", que se emite el 17 y 18 de marzo. En el teaser del documental, Drake aparece al final, confirmando que va a compartir su historia.

Drake no dice nada en la promo, pero es seguro que hablará del tema cuando el documental se libere en su totalidad. En un comunicado de ID, dicen que Drake está listo para hacer las denuncias en contra de Brian Peck, un hombre con el que trabajó mientras estaba en "Drake & Josh" a principios de los 2000.

En 2004, Peck se declaró inocente de realizar un acto lascivo con un adolescente de 14 o 15 años y sexo oral con un menor de 16 años.

No está claro si las afirmaciones de Drake influyeron en el caso penal contra Peck, pero en cualquier caso, es una noticia importante, sobre todo si tenemos en cuenta lo turbulenta que ha sido su propia vida.

Recuerde, el propio Drake terminó siendo condenado por poner en peligro a los niños cuando ya era un adulto y en los últimos años ha hablado abiertamente de contemplar el suicidio. Por un tiempo, también desapareció brevemente.

En cuanto a Peck, recientemente fue señalado por otras ex estrellas infantiles: los chicos de "Boy Meets World" dijeron que estaba en su mundo por ese entonces, y mirando en retrospectiva, lamentan su afiliación con él en su momento. Vale la pena señalar que no alegan ningún delito contra Peck explícitamente.

Se espera que otras estrellas infantiles hablen en este documental, pero por ahora Drake es uno de los más grandes en hacer acusaciones. Se dice que va a identificarse como una de las víctimas en el caso de Peck de 2004, pero queda por ver qué es lo que dirá exactamente.

Drake Bell is breaking his silence on claims he was molested by a dialogue coach who worked with him when he was a teen on Nickelodeon.

The actor was revealed to be one of the former child stars who's going to speak on the forthcoming ID documentary 'Quiet on Set,' which airs on March 17 and 18. A teaser for the doc went up Tuesday ... and Drake steps in at the end, confirming he'll share his story.

Drake doesn't say anything in the promo ... but it's safe to say, he'll talk more when the doc gets released in full. In a release from ID, they say Drake is set to make claims against Brian Peck -- a man he worked with while he was on 'Drake & Josh' in the early 2000s.

Back in 2004, Peck pled no contest to performing a lewd act with a 14- or 15-year-old and to oral copulation with a minor under 16.

It's unclear if Drake's claims factored into the criminal case against Peck ... but in any case, it's major news -- especially when you consider how turbulent his own life has been.

Remember, Drake himself ended up being convicted of child endangerment as an adult -- and in recent years ... he's talked openly about contemplating suicide, and briefly went missing for a while too.

As for Peck ... he was recently named by other ex-child stars -- the guys from "Boy Meets World" said he was in their world as well back in the day ... and in hindsight, regretted their affiliation with him at the time. Worth noting ... they didn't allege any wrongdoing against Peck explicitly.

There are more child stars that are expected to speak in this doc ... but Drake is now coming out as the first big one to make allegations. Word is ... he's going to identify himself as one of the victims in Peck's 2004 case -- but it remains to be seen what exactly he'll say.

The parlor booth where Tony Soprano sat down with his family in the final scene from "The Sopranos" just sold at auction ... and someone shelled out five figures.

Tony's booth was a tourist attraction for years at Holsten's ice cream parlor in Broomfield, NJ ... but the shop needs a renovation and the parlor booth had to go ... to the highest bidder.

Holsten's put the famous furniture -- booth, table, divider and a custom plaque reserving seats for the Sopranos family -- on eBay last week with a $3,000 opening bid ... and an all-out bidding war ensued.

When the dust settled Monday, the auction closed and the booth had sold for $82,600 ... more than enough to cover costs for Holsten's upcoming renovations for new floors and booths.

Not included for the $82K ... the jukebox Tony drops a quarter in to play Journey's classic tune "Don't Stop Believin'" as he orders onion rings and waits for his wife, son and daughter to join him in the booth.

The jukebox was added by the film crew ... and after the show, Holsten included a plaque reading, "THIS BOOTH RESERVED FOR THE SOPRANO FAMILY."

Since the finale and it's open-ended cut to black, Holsten's has been a destination for 'Sopranos' fans making the pilgrimage to Tony's last known location ... but wear and tear over the years forced the ice cream parlor to sell off the piece of TV history.

As Holsten's explained ... "Please understand that we don't want to do this. But the integrity of the booths are now compromised. They have been repaired many times and this furniture is over 60 years old. Obviously, we do not want to do this, however it has come to a point where they are structurally not safe anymore as a whole and we need to think about the safety of our patrons first."

The ice cream parlor says it's getting a much-needed facelift, but things will look the same as they did when the Sopranos came through.

Hollywood once again is emptying its collective pockets this election season -- donating generously to the campaigns of several Democrats vying for a highly coveted U.S. Senate seat.

TMZ combed through the Federal Election Commission filings and found that most of Tinseltown's elite kicked their financial support toward the campaigns of Adam Schiff, Barbara Lee and Katie Porter ... who are facing off for the chance to fill the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein's seat.

Former MLB star Steve Garvey, who's running as a Republican, seemingly got no donations from people identifying with the FEC as an actor, musician or athlete. With that said, polls have him doing pretty damn well.

This cannot be said for Dems in the primary race. We should note ... this might not be a complete snapshot of donations, and some of the celebs may have donated more than the number listed.

For Schiff:
- Robin Dearden ($6600)
- Herb Alpert (at least $3,300)
- Barbra Streisand ($1500)
- Holland Taylor ($1,000)
- George Takei ($750)
- Lily Tomlin ($350)
- Jackson Browne ($400)
- Joan Jett ($275)
- Diane Lane ($235)

As for Barbara Lee ... Ben Affleck seems pretty passionate about her candidacy, as he dropped thousands on her run -- and even his daughter, Violet, shelled out a pretty penny too.

For Lee:
- Ben Affleck (at least $6,600)
- Violet Affleck ($3,050)
- Jackson Browne (at least $3,300)
- Graham Nash ($2,500)
- Kal Penn ($500)

For Porter:
- Graham Nash ($3,300)
- Bonnie Raitt ($2,000)
- Susan Sarandon ($500)
- George Takei ($500)

Several celebrities double-dipped ... with George Takei donating for both Porter and Schiff. Similarly, Graham Nash dropped some dough for Porter and Lee. Jackson Browne made sure to contribute to both Schiff and Lee's campaigns.

Some celebs are doing more than donating money ... some are lending support on social media -- like John Legend, who publicly endorsed Lee,

In fact, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is even narrating an ad that's running for Schiff.

Brian Austin Green admitió que los celos en el set de "Beverly Hills 90210" jugaron un papel importante en el término de su pasado romance con su compañera de reparto Tiffani Thiessen.

El actor hizo la confesión durante el episodio del lunes de Shannen Doherty "Let's Be Clear" pódcast, diciéndole a su ex compañero de reparto todos los detalles acerca de su separación de la famosa actriz de "Salvados por la Campana".

Según Brian, Tiffani fue su primera relación seria, ya que salieron entre 1992 y 1995. Sin embargo, cuando Tiffani se unió al drama adolescente de Brian durante la temporada 5, admitió que se ponía increíblemente celoso cada vez que su chica trabajaba con otras estrellas de "90210".

Le dijo a Shannen que le resultaba extraño cuando su novia de repente tenía que hacer escenas de sexo con sus amigos, a los que dice que consideraba su familia.

Tiffani interpretó a Valerie Malone, la chica mala por excelencia que se acostaba con casi todos los protagonistas masculinos, a excepción de Brandon Walsh de Jason Priestley.

Según cuenta Brian, los celos se apoderaron de él y la pareja se separó solo un año después de irse a vivir juntos. Brian, que ahora está comprometido con la participante de  "Dancing With the Stars" pro Sharna Burgess, confesó que actuó mal al enloquecer de la forma en que lo hizo.

Afortunadamente, Brian y Tiffani fueron capaces de seguir siendo amigos después de su separación, lo que no se puede decir de otros ex compañeros de reparto. Tiffani encontró su final feliz con el actor Brady Smith, con el que comparten los niños Harper y Holt.

Brian, obviamente, ha estado en un puñado de relaciones serias desde entonces, y ha tenido hijos con sus ex Vanessa Marcil y Megan Fox.

Sinbad está hablando públicamente por primera vez en mucho tiempo, y se ve bastante bien. Esto es importante si tenemos en cuenta que sufrió un accidente cerebrovascular hace 4 años, y lo que es aún más impresionante, es que está bromeando con un regreso.

El comediante publicó un nuevo video en Insta en el que hizo varias revelaciones, no sabíamos de él desde que sufrió su episodio médico en 2020. Esto también marca su primer post desde 2022, cuando dio otra gran actualización.

Sinbad le dijo a los fans que apreciaba sus amables palabras y oraciones durante estos últimos años, señalando que las demostraciones de afecto significaban mucho para él mientras se recuperaba.

También dijo que la gente podía esperar ver más de él pronto, una señal alentadora.

Sinbad volvió a ser el centro de atención a finales de febrero para acompañar a sus compañeros de "Un mundo diferente" en su primera parada de una gira por 10 ciudades. Aunque Sinbad participó en Zoom, fue recibido con un apasionado aplauso de la multitud.

En este último clip, dice que se sorprendió de que los universitarios incluso sabían quién era.

Tal vez el cómico está subestimando su legado, que incluye papeles protagonistas en "Jingle All the Way", "The Sinbad Show", "Coneheads", y seis temporadas en "The Cosby Show" spinoff.

En cualquier caso, Sinbad se aseguró de agradecer a sus fans por su continuo amor y apoyo, informándoles de que vio y leyó todo lo que se envió durante su recuperación.

Como informamos, sufrió un derrame cerebral en octubre de 2020. Su familia dijo más tarde fue causado por un coágulo de sangre que viajó desde el corazón hasta el cerebro. En ese momento, sus seres queridos dijeron que estaban agradecidos por la efusión de amor de los fans.

Brian Austin Green admitted that jealousy on the set of "Beverly Hills, 90210" played a real hand in the demise of his past romance with fellow costar Tiffani Thiessen.

The actor made the confession during Monday's episode of Shannen Doherty's 'Let's Be Clear' podcast ... telling his ex-castmate all the deets about his split from the "Saved by the Bell" alum.

According to BAG ... TT was his first serious relationship -- as they dated between 1992 and 1995. However, when Tiffani joined Brian's teen drama during season 5 ... he admitted to getting incredibly jealous whenever his lady worked with other '90210' stars.

He told Shannen that he found it weird when his girlfriend all of a sudden had to do sex scenes with his friends -- whom he says he considered family.

Tiffani played Valerie Malone -- the ultimate bad girl who slept with almost all of the male leads ... except for Jason Priestley's Brandon Walsh.

As Brian tells it -- jealousy got the better of him and the pair split only a year after moving in together. Brian -- who is now engaged to "Dancing With the Stars" pro Sharna Burgess -- confessed that he was in the wrong and shouldn't have freaked out the way he did.

Thankfully, Brian and Tiffani were able to remain friends in the aftermath of their split -- which can't be said for other notable costar exes. Tiffani found her happy ending with actor Brady Smith -- they share kids Harper and Holt together.

Brian has obviously been in a handful of serious relationships since, previously welcoming kids with exes Vanessa Marcil and Megan Fox.

Sinbad is speaking out publicly for the first time in a long time, and he's showing face too -- which is major following his stroke 4 years ago ... and crazier yet, he's teasing a comeback.

The comedian posted a new video to IG that revealed a lot -- including giving fans an update on his health ... which many have been asking for ever since he suffered his medical episode in 2020. This also marks his first post since 2022, when he gave another big update.

In the new upload, Sinbad told fans that he appreciated their kind words and prayers to him over these past few years ... noting the kind words meant a lot to him as he recovered.

He also said folks could expect to see more of him soon ... an encouraging sign.

Sinbad actually stepped back into the spotlight a bit at the end of February to accompany his costars "A Different World" for their initial stop on a 10-city tour of HBCUs. While Sinbad only participated over Zoom -- he was met with a passionate round of applause from the crowd.

In this latest clip ... he says he was surprised that the college kids even knew who he was.

Perhaps the comic is underestimating his legacy -- which includes starring roles in "Jingle All the Way," "The Sinbad Show," "Coneheads," and six seasons on "The Cosby Show" spinoff.

In any case, Sinbad made sure to thank his fans for their continued love and support ... informing them that he saw and read everything that was sent in during his recovery.

As we reported ... Sinbad suffered from a stroke in October 2020 -- which his family later said was caused by a blood clot that traveled from the heart to the brain. At the time ... his loved ones said they were grateful for fans' outpouring of love.

Renee Graziano says she nearly lost her life when she overdosed last year on a bad batch of drugs -- which she calls her come-to-Jesus moment ... and which finally got her clean.

The "Mob Wives" star is the latest guest for Bunnie XO's "Dumb Blonde" podcast ... and in a sneak peek clip from their chat -- set to air in full on Wednesday -- you can hear Renee get into the details of an OD she suffered in 2023 ... which ultimately sent her to Odom Recovery Group.

The story is harrowing, to say the least -- RG describes what drug it was that ended up being laced with fentanyl, unbeknownst to her ... and she says it landed her in the hospital.

Take a listen for yourself ... Renee says she had no clue she was dabbling in bad drugs -- but before she knew it, she'd lost memory over the course of 3 days ... and was bedridden for a total of 9, a period in which she says her family never came to see or visit her.

Renee goes on to say she had to learn to walk again from this horrific episode -- and it ended up being what made her realize she had to kick her drug habit ... which she has.

As we reported ... Renee entered into treatment back in November -- a couple months after this overdose -- and it sounds like she's been on the straight and narrow ever since.

Good to hear she's doing well ... and it sounds like a lot more will be discussed on the pod.

We're starting the week strong here at TMZ, and that always kicks with fire TV segments!

Let's begin on "TMZ Live," where Charles and Babcock talked about a brewing international incident out in Southeast Asia -- where Taylor Swift is currently performing in Singapore for a string of 6 shows ... to the chagrin of neighboring countries, who are pissed about her deal.

Short story long ... the Philippines and Thailand seem to think they got screwed out of her being able to visit their nations due to the reported lucrative contract Singapore struck.

Next up, we got "TMZ on TV" ... where the gang talked about Kate Middleton surfacing this week in the UK, marking the first time we've seen her out publicly since at least December.

There's been a lot of conspiracy theories on her whereabouts, and it appears the Royals finally realized ... yeah, we gotta show her face a little to tamper down all the madness.

Last but not least, we're on "TMZ Sports" ... where the guys talk Ryan Garcia's recent drama.

Lala Kent just broke some big baby news ... she's pregnant with baby number 2.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star made the announcement Sunday night on Instagram, writing in a post, "I'm expanding my pod." Lala also posted a black-and-white image of her belly, proving she's got another bun in the oven.

Her first child, 2-year-old Ocean, was standing next to her with excitement in her face as she awaits the arrival of her new sibling!

As you know, Lala shares Ocean with her ex-fiancé Randall Emmett, who she broke up with in 2021 after she accused the film producer of cheating. Randall denied the allegations.

This time, Lala has taken a different road on the baby front, using intrauterine insemination -- a treatment that surgically implants sperm in a uterus to fertilize an egg. Lala has publicly discussed conceiving her second child with this method.

In Sunday's IG post, Lala uploaded another photo showing her holding a spoon out to Ocean, who was standing on a chair at a counter with two vitamin bottles on top.

She captioned this image by celebrating her "new addition" to the family, while receiving a flood of well wishes in the comments section. 'Real Housewives of Orange Country' star Heather Dubrow even gave Lala a shout-out.
