May the Fourth be with you TMZers ... now, check out the best from TMZ's television programs from a long week ago in a studio not so far, far away.

On "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles discuss Britney Spears' swollen ankle she shared on Instagram after her scary hotel incident.

Channing Tatum wants a judge to hear all of the issues in his divorce from Jenna Dewan in one trial ... instead of splitting up the case like she wants.

According to documents obtained by TMZ ... Tatum's asking a judge to deny Jenna's request to bifurcate the case -- which, in essence, would split the issues into 2 trials. Instead, Channing wants to keep it all wrapped up in one.

CT's argument's pretty simple here ... he's saying the issues should be consolidated, unless splitting them up would expedite the proceedings, and he thinks Jenna's trying to do the exact opposite.

Brooke Shields' daughters may be college-aged adults, but they're still mommy's girls at heart -- something their mother confessed to ... very proudly, we might add.

The actress swung by SiriusXM's "The Jess Cagle Show" Thursday, where she spilled on her incredibly close bond with daughters Rowan and Grier -- who are 20 and 18, respectively -- confirming they all still share a bed sometimes.

She explains ... "You know, the minute my husband is on any type of work trip or gone or something, you know, they still sleep in the bed with me. We still watch rom-coms. They're my babies and they will never not be."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is scratching her head over Sunny Hostin's decision to blast her on national TV -- especially since they were friendly in the past ... an about-face, it seems.

Gypsy tells TMZ ... she finds Sunny's harsh criticism about her on Friday's episode of "The View" -- where SH continuously said Gypsy had "murdered" her mom and questioned how any man could fall in love with her -- surprising ... 'cause she says Sunny was nice when they met.

She adds ... "Her comments are weird because she was so nice to me on 'The View.' She was so understanding and sweet and wished me nothing but the best. Everyone was so supportive. I wonder why she turned on me." Gypsy was on "The View" back in January.

Kathy Bates is ready to slide into some stylish shapewear -- saying she'd be happy to star in a campaign for SKIMS ... all Kim Kardashian has to do is make the call!

The actress attended the CBS Fall Schedule Celebration in L.A. Thursday and chatted with People about Kim's turn on "American Horror Story" ... providing a unique perspective since Bates regularly pops up in the anthology series, although she's not in KK's season.

Kathy admits she hasn't watched Kim in 'AHS' yet ... but, the two apparently have a rapport -- 'cause Kathy says Kim sent her SKIMS a few years back and apparently told her she'd put her in an an ad one day. Welp, Kathy's ready to take her up on it, saying she's still waiting!

Kate Beckinsale regresó a los focos el jueves para un elegante evento de Nueva Yotk, después de un duro año luchando contra unos problemas médicos.

La actriz se veía como de un millón de dólares en su vestido blanco mientras se paseaba por la alfombra roja ante un montón de fotógrafos en la primera gala anual de King's Trust Global en la Casa Cipriani de Manhattan.

Echa un vistazo a los videos y fotos, Kate estaba en excelente forma, girando y sonriéndole a las cámaras en su magnífico vestido, que exponía partes de su tonificado cuerpo. Para rematar, Kate lucía joyas y llevaba el pelo recogido como una auténtica estrella.

Kate Beckinsale returned to the spotlight Thursday after a tough year battling medical issues, hitting the red carpet for a swanky NYC event.

The actress looked like a million bucks in her sexy white gown as she strolled out before a bunch of shutterbugs at the first annual King's Trust Global Gala at Casa Cipriani in Manhattan.

Check out the videos/pics ... Kate was in rare form, turning and smiling for the cameras in her magnificent dress that exposed portions of her slim, yet toned body. To top things off, Kate was dripping in jewelry and her hair was done up like a true starlet!

Another day, another series of action-packed clips. Check out the best Thursday had to offer.

On "TMZ Live" ... Harvey and Charles discuss Britney Spears' huge fight with her boyfriend Paul Soliz that nearly led to her in an ambulance.

Sunny Hostin seems to be showing some solidarity with pro-Palestinian student protesters across the country -- or at the very least, a nod to their right to express themselves.

We caught up with "The View" cohost Thursday in NYC ... and, we asked her about the pro-Palestine demonstrations sweeping college campuses across the nation right now -- and Sunny says she thinks calling them "pro-Palestine" is the wrong way to label them.

While they are supporting Palestine against Israel, Sunny says she considers these folks anti-war protesters, saying it's a long tradition among students in the U.S. dating back years.

Robert De Niro did NOT yell at pro-Palestinian protesters in NYC ... this despite a video making the rounds online suggesting otherwise.

The actor was filmed shouting at a group of individuals last week in NYC, accusing the crowd of "talking nonsense" and needing to go home. Several pro-Israel X accounts shared the video ... claiming the encounter proves De Niro stands with Israel in its war on Hamas.

However, De Niro's rep has shut this notion down ... saying the footage was merely a rehearsal from his new Netflix show, "Zero Day." As it turns out, De Niro was actually just practicing scripted lines while rehearsing in front of a group of extras.

Robert De Niro NO le estaba gritando a los manifestantes pro-palestinos en Nueva York. Esto, a pesar de un popular video que circula por Internet y sugiere lo contrario.

El actor fue grabado gritándole a un grupo de personas la semana pasada en Nueva York y acusándolos de "decir tonterías" e instándolos a que se fueran para su casa. Varias cuentas pro-Israel X compartieron el video, afirmando que el encuentro demuestra que De Niro está con Israel en su guerra contra Hamás.

Sin embargo, el representante de De Niro ha acallado esta idea, diciendo que las imágenes corresponden simplemente a un ensayo de un nuevo show de Netflix llamado "Zero Day". Resulta que De Niro en realidad solo estaba practicando sus líneas, mientras ensayaba frente a un grupo de extras.

Anne Hathaway aprendió por las malas que la mayoría de la gente ya no lee libros, o al menos es así si ves el "The Tonight Show".

La actriz se sentó con Jimmy Fallon esta semana para promocionar su nueva película, "The Idea Of You", basada en la novela de 2017 del mismo nombre escrita por Robinne Lee.

En medio de la entrevista, Anne estaba analizando la trama de la película en la que su personaje, Solene, una madre soltera, se enamora inesperadamente del cantante de una banda de chicos más joven, Hayes, interpretado por Nicholas Galitzine.

Anne Hathaway learned the hard way that most people don't read books anymore – that is if you watch the "The Tonight Show."

This week, the actress sat down with late-night host Jimmy Fallon to promote her new movie, "The Idea Of You," which is based on the identically titled 2017 novel written by Robinne Lee.

Midway through the interview, Anne was discussing the plot of the film in which her character, Solene – a single mom -- unexpectedly falls for a younger boy band singer, Hayes, played by Nicholas Galitzine.

It's the middle of the week, and TMZ's got a whole bunch of clips to get you over the hump (day).

On "TMZ Live" ... Harvey and Charles analyze Britney Spears calling her sister Jamie Lynn a "bitch" in a rambling, somewhat incoherent video.

Sunny Hostin thinks Donald Trump's antics in court could cost him during the general election later this year -- because she seems to think folks will remember him as Gassy Don.

"The View" cohost launched into a diatribe on the hit talk show Wednesday ... sharing her thoughts on 45's criminal trial and candidacy, beginning by expressing her shock at how DT's caught up to President Joe Biden in the polls.

Check out the clip ... SH says she thinks the ex-Prez is slowly starting to lose it -- mentioning how he violated a gag order, leading to a $9k fine, before mentioning his alleged flatulence.

LeVar Burton's time hosting "Reading Rainbow" wasn't all rainbows and butterflies -- as it turns out, he actually clashed with producers ... all 'cause he was a hip and stylish dude!

The actor opens up about this in "Butterfly in the Sky" -- a new documentary about the beloved children's program that he hosted in the '80s, '90s and 2000s ... revealing some of the most iconic parts of his appearance back then actually pissed off the creative team.

As detailed by People, LeVar refused to dress or present himself in a way that felt inauthentic. As a result ... he says he'd clash with showrunners and people behind the scenes -- who apparently gave him a hard time over fashion choices, like his famous earring.
