TV

We're just getting over the hump in the week, but we're still rolling with some fire TV takes.

Let's start out on "TMZ Live" ... where Harvey and Charles discussed the latest development in the Diddy saga -- namely, the fact that a grand jury has been convened in the ongoing federal investigation ... and that prosecutors are apparently bringing in witnesses to talk.

Jill Biden is promising some semblance of decorum for the first 2024 Presidential debate ... teasing how the moderators will put a stop to any rambling with the hit of a switch.

The First Lady stopped by "The View" Wednesday morning, where FLOTUS promised the audience -- and a concerned Sara Haines -- that Pres. Joe Biden and Donald Trump's mics will be turned off during the forthcoming debate to prevent the candidates from talking over one another.

She says this was a key point in the debate agreement, as she noted ... "They've built that in where they're gonna turn off those mics so that somebody can't ramble, or scream at somebody. Not that my husband would be the one doing that."

Kim Kardashian's making waves in Hollywood -- 'cause she's on Variety's latest "Actors on Actors" series, which also features Jon Hamm ... who once took a nasty shot at her.

The reality star has been paired up with Oscar-nominated actress Chloë Sevigny for the show -- which highlights the who's-who of the acting biz ... and interestingly, Jon is on the lineup as well ... albeit, talking to a different actor, Kristen Wiig.

Still, his shared presence on 'Actors on Actors' with Kim has many remembering him talking s*** about her way back in the 2010s ... when he labeled her stupid, and a "f***ing idiot."

Jerry Seinfeld's calling for the grand return of dominant masculinity -- even though, he ironically acknowledges he's not exactly the poster boy for that trait himself.

On the "Honestly with Bari Weiss" podcast, Jerry admitted his comedy career's taken him on quite a childish journey instead of his desire to embody traditional masculinity. Still, he's not backing down on his ideas about what it means to be a "real man."

JS gave examples ... reminiscing about the icons of masculinity who wowed him during his childhood -- names like John F. Kennedy, Muhammad Ali, Sean Connery, and Howard Cosell, guys who grew up admiring and aspiring to be like -- all of which he says are gone.

Selena Gomez says she was prepared to adopt children if she didn't have a partner by her mid-30s -- a plan that seems to be out the window now ... since Benny Blanco has arrived.

The singer talked about this with TIME Magazine -- where she opened up about her getting used to being alone ... this after being single for upwards of five years, and her coming to terms with the fact she might have to be a parent all by her lonesome.

As a result of that possibility ... SG admits she was ready to bring a kid into her life, even if she didn't have a man to do it with. She even had a time frame for this ... age 35.

A TV news anchor in Boston appeared to swallow a fly live on the air -- but rather than cough up a storm or make a big fuss ... she just downed it and kept on going.

Check out this wild clip that shows Boston 25 News reporter Vanessa Welch leading a newscast late last week when something seemed to fall right into her mouth and down her throat in a flash ... which, of course, happened to be caught on camera.

On its face, it looks to be a bug of some sort -- likely a fly if it was in fact an insect -- but some have suggested it was something else entirely ... maybe an eyelash.

Jenna Ortega has voiced her support for Palestine ... 6 months after her "Scream" costar, Melissa Barrera, was fired from the franchise for doing the same thing.

The actress -- who played Melissa's little sister in 2022's "Scream" and 2023's "Scream VI" -- took to her Instagram on Tuesday, sharing her stance on the Israel-Hamas war after airstrikes hit Rafah and reportedly killed at least 45 people.

The "Wednesday" star wrote ... "Masses debating over a ceasefire while thousands upon thousands of children continue being slaughtered. Where is the humanity."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's been enjoying newfound fame since her prison release -- and yet, she's denouncing her celebrity status ... saying she's a survivor first.

GRB posted a PSA of sorts on TikTok Monday -- reminding everyone she's still on her healing journey as a Munchausen by proxy victim ... and while it's unclear what exactly triggered her, she definitely got a lot off her chest on this topic.

She wrote a lengthy caption, which reads in part ... "Don't ask me to relive my trauma for your personal curiosity, don't demand to know the answers to questions that have no relevance in your life, don't expect me to have overcome my past on your time."

Johnny Wactor's death was unjust and unnecessary -- something his ex-fiancée tearfully made clear in no uncertain terms ... with a direct plea to whoever shot and killed him.

Tessa Farrell -- an actress who used to be engaged to the slain "General Hospital" star -- hopped online Monday with a heartbreaking reaction to the news that Johnny had been murdered in Los Angeles during an attempted theft of his catalytic converter.

The video is hard to watch, as Tessa gets emotional throughout as she responds to Johnny's death ... saying it's just a microcosm of what's been happening in L.A. lately crime-wise.

Terry Crews plans to pull up to Anderson Silva's boxing match in June ... but, he's not going to fight the MMA legend as he recently implied on social media -- he's simply going to support his buddy!

In case you missed it, the shirtless actor went on Instagram last week and delivered a message for the UFC legend, saying he's been training and is ready to see him June 15.

Fans figured Crews was throwing out a potential fight, but the 55-year-old told TMZ Sports that's simply not the case.

The weather's heating up, and even celebrities need to take a day off every once in a while ... with many getting summer started earlier than the calendar indicates.

Tom Brady knew exactly how he wanted to spend his long weekend ... ripping off his shirt and ending up on a wakeboard, big grin on his face. Loving that ocean breeze through the hair, Tom!

Meanwhile, Sofia Vergara took a snap with her tiny dog ... and wished everyone a very happy holiday -- seemingly enjoying the day with a close pal of hers.

Judge Judy is railing on liberal D.A.'s whom she says are ruining these United States of America ... making the country unsafe.

America's most famous jurist told Fox News Digital, she knows exactly why we're having increasing crime problems ... "When society starts to make excuses for bad behavior and react to criminality based upon the excuses, it fell apart."

She says liberal D.A.'s are excusing crimes based on the offender's background, and that, she says, "created a scenario where bad people got rewarded."

Hannah Waddingham's got a long memory ... 'cause she says she's got a mental list of the casting directors who shunned her over the years -- and, she's ready to get the last laugh.

The actress opened up about her Hollywood s*** list during an episode of the "Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist" ... telling the host there are a ton of people who wouldn't give her the time of day before who now want her in their projects.

But, HW says she's got respect for herself ... saying she consistently turns down work if the offer's coming from someone who disrespected her talent or looks in the past.

The 2024 Monaco Grand Prix got some of Hollywood's biggest and brightest revving their engines ... with actors, models and more rushing to Europe to watch the action.

Joe Jonas and Anya Taylor-Joy both put on their Sunday best for race day ... while Academy Award winner Jared Leto looked downright tranquil with a peace sign up and his sheer shirt on.

Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski left little to the imagination in a barely there bra underneath a leather racing jacket ... ready to model for the Formula 1 circuit any day now it seems.

"South Park" took direct aim at the whole "body positivity" movement and used Lizzo as its weapon.

The episode -- titled "The End of Obesity" -- uses the singer as the alternative to Ozempic. It features Eric Cartman in a doctor's office trying to score some O, but he can't afford it and insurance isn't an option.

The doc says, “I’m going to write you a prescription for Lizzo. She’s a really good singer who talks about body positivity, and just being happy with the way you look. I want you to listen to Lizzo five times a day, and watch her videos just before bedtime. I’m afraid you’ll have to be on Lizzo for the rest of your life.”

Then the episode gets all official, claiming the FDA gave its stamp of approval, concluding ... “Lizzo helps you eat everything you want, and keep physical activity to a minimum….stop listening to Lizzo if you experience suicidal thoughts. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis, hypothermia, and literally s****ing out of your ears.”

Another day, another chance to check out the best TMZ has to offer. Take a trip through our last week before the summer heat really kicks up.

On "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles break down the brawl between Travis Scott, Tyga, and Alexander "AE" Edwards at a Cannes Film Festival event.
