A cryptic death post, a royal public appearance and a history-making award. Check out the hottest takes from Thursday.

On "TMZ Live," Charles and Derek discuss the cryptic death post Drake put on Instagram Thursday.

The real-life woman behind the villain in "Baby Reindeer" -- who's portrayed as a stalker -- just went on TV to deny how she was depicted ... insisting she only sent a few emails.

Fiona Harvey appeared as a guest on Piers Morgan's show Thursday -- and of course, he had a lot of questions for her ... especially now that she's coming forward to reveal she's the one Richard Gadd based his Netflix character Martha on ... who's shown as a terror.

While a lot of people had already ID'd her online, this is her first public appearance after 'BR' aired -- and she's outright denying she harassed or stalked Rick as severely as he claims and only saw him two or three times.

Andy Cohen's position at Bravo has been secured for the foreseeable future ... not long after being cleared in a misconduct investigation, TMZ has learned.

The network confirmed Thursday that Andy and "Watch What Happens Live" will continue on through 2025. This update comes after a turbulent year for the TV personality, who was accused of harassment by former Housewives Leah McSweeney and Brandi Glanville.

A Bravo rep tells us … "The outside investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed, and the claims were found to be unsubstantiated."

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's heated rap beef is the talk of every town, and Malcolm Jamal-Warner thinks that's precisely the problem -- hip hop culture is getting props for bad stuff!

The 'Cosby Show' alum vented his thoughts on Drake and Kendrick's 2024 rap war, and the 53-year-old version of himself refuses to accept the notion their fiery back and forth -- which seems to be on ice now -- was great entertainment.

MJW knows his message isn't a popular one, but thinks Black culture has been conditioned to normalize songs about murder, misogyny and even glorifying the n-word.

3:20 PM PT -- We got PK Thursday in West Hollywood at The Henry right on the heels of the news of him and Dorit Kemsley separating -- and while we tried asking how he was feeling ... the guy wasn't in any mood to talk, beelining it for a restaurant -- this while 'RHOBH' cameras were rolling for the new season.

Check out the footage ... PK gets out of his car, and you can tell there's a production going on -- 'cause there's a ton of camera people around, and he's in the thick of it. Again, we asked how he was holding up during this hard time, but he was pretty mum on it.

BTW, PK was going into the restaurant to meet with none other than Mauricio Umansky ... whom he sat and chatted with, only to get frustrated and storm out.

Kris Jenner delivered a major reveal to her family in a dramatic clip from the upcoming season of "The Kardashians," leaving several of her famous daughters in utter shock and tears.

In a recently released teaser for the fifth season of the popular Hulu show, Kris was sitting in a room with Khloe, Kendall and Kylie as well as her boyfriend Corey Gamble.

The Kardashian-Jenner matriarch then served up the bad news as she became emotional, telling all those present, "I had my scan. They found a cyst and like a little tumor."

Drake's had a rough past few weeks beefing with Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, Rick Ross and having his house shot up ... and things may be taking their toll.

On Thursday morning, Drake shared an IG story from the new Netflix series "A Man In Full" ... which shows Jeff Daniels' character Charlie Croker appearing to spurt out his last thoughts as he dies on the floor.

The show's premise follows a fallen real estate tycoon looking to reclaim his empire as enemies swirl around him.

Teresa Giudice is dishing on how she scored a rare selfie with Taylor Swift at Coachella ... without even being a Swiftie.

Remember, the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star was in the same VIP section as the singer at weekend 1 of the music festival. Still, as Teresa recently told E! News ... she almost didn't approach Taylor, out of fear she'd bother the Grammy winner, especially since she wasn't a Swiftie.

Apparently, we have Teresa's husband Louie Ruelas to thank for the iconic pic ... as Teresa admitted he was the one who encouraged her to speak to Taylor. She added, "Jennifer Aydin [who’s] on my show, she loves her. I’m like, ‘All right. I’m doing this for Jennifer Aydin.'"

Travis Kelce's entertainment endeavors won't be a problem within the Chiefs' locker room ... so says fellow acting athlete Thomas Q. Jones, who believes the Kansas City tight end's teammates will have zero issue with him pursuing his Hollywood dreams.

TK landed a role in Ryan Murphy's new horror series, "Grotesquerie" ... adding to his growing list of ventures off the gridiron -- including hosting "Saturday Night Live" and the new "Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?" game show.

Jones -- who's built quite the impressive acting résumé himself after retiring from the NFL in 2011 -- joined Charles and Courtney on "TMZ Live" to discuss the three-time Super Bowl champ's news ... and he thinks there are only positives that'll come of it.

Jaleel White -- who famously played Steve Urkel -- absolutely did do that ... finally tying the knot with his longtime partner in a gorgeous country club ceremony over the weekend.

The actor -- best known as the lovable nerd in the hit '90s sitcom "Family Matters" -- married Nicoletta Ruhl at Los Angeles' Riviera Country Club on Saturday -- this according to People, which shared tons of photos from the sunny outdoor wedding.

The outlet reports 175 people showed up to see Ruhl and White make it official ... with festivities including five-star food, three DJs spread throughout the day and lots of good times with the people who mean the most to the happy couple.

Farrah Abraham never seems to miss an opportunity to roast her nemesis Jenelle Evans ... and she kinda did again for her going back to 'Teen Mom' ... albeit, very politely.

The former reality star and content creator posted a video Wednesday that touched on the big news this week ... namely, that Jenelle is returning to MTV's hit show, and the one that made her famous years ago.

Farrah is somewhat sarcastic in her review of the update -- saying there's no one better to come back to the cast than JE ... while noting she doesn't think she'd go back to the show.

Madelyn Cline looked pretty confused while trying to get the heck outta Dodge this week ... pulling on the wrong car door multiple times while leaving her hotel post-Met Gala.

Check out this hilarious video of the "Outer Banks" star leaving her luxury hotel in New York City, rolling bag in hand and paparazzi cameras flashing away. She heads toward the curb and yanks open the door to a four-door sedan ... only to realize it ain't her ride!

Cline closes the door quickly and heads to the next ride, a big black SUV. She opens the door ... and, again, it wasn't for Madelyn. Two for two ... whoopsie.

Bette Midler is still upset with Lindsay Lohan for bailing on their 2000s sitcom "Bette" ... and apparently feels like she should've taken her to court for jumping ship.

Bette opened up about the failed endeavor on David Duchovny's podcast "Fail Better," where she called the show a big mistake. The sitcom only ran for 1 season on CBS back in 2000 ... and Bette is now kinda pointing the finger at LiLo for its short tenure.

She says ... "Lindsay Lohan was cast as my daughter in the pilot. Well, after the pilot, Lindsay Lohan decided she didn’t want to do it. Or she had other fish to fry. So, Lindsay Lohan left the building. And I said, well, now what do you do?"

If you miss Travis Kelce on the football field, in the podcast world or on a game show ... don't worry, there's now yet another way you can see the NFL star -- on the small screen in a new FX horror series.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end revealed Tuesday he's scored a role in Ryan Murphy's upcoming show, "Grotesquerie."

It's not clear how big Taylor Swift's boyfriend's part will be ... although his co-worker on the project, Niecy Nash-Betts, appeared to indicate in videos from the set that he ain't exactly an extra.

Bridget Moynahan is smiling on the outside -- showing up for her costar Tom Selleck's event in NYC -- but she's also strongly hinting she's pissed about her ex, Tom Brady's roast, where their split was fodder for savage jokes.

The actress popped up Tuesday night at Manhattan's 92nd Street Y for a discussion about her "Blue Bloods" costar Selleck's new book, "You Never Know: A Memoir" in New York.

Moynahan seemed happy and content as she posed for photogs, and even spoke to a live audience about his book and the recent canceling of their CBS show after 14 seasons.

It's hump day in the week -- and we're gonna help you get passed it with our TV topics!

Let's kick things off with "TMZ Live," where Charles and Charlie dove into how Gisele is reportedly feeling after Tom Brady's roast ... where their former relationship as husband and wife was front and center and getting mercilessly mocked.

Safe to say, she ain't too happy about it ... and she ain't pleased with TB12 either, it seems.
