Emma Roberts is weighing in on the nepo baby debate ... saying women face the criticism more than men do -- and pointing to one of Hollywood's biggest stars to make her point.

The actress sat down for a conversation about her famous family on the podcast "Table for Two" released Tuesday ... and she says she thinks the controversy's unfair -- especially for the women with A-list family trees.

Roberts -- her dad Eric's an actor and aunt is freaking Julia Roberts  -- says she feels young ladies get attacked more than young men for their nepo baby status ... just take George Clooney, she says.

Bill Cobbs, an actor with over 50 years of experience in Hollywood, is dead ... TMZ has confirmed.

Bill died Tuesday at his home in the Inland Empire in CA ... according to his publicist, Chuck I. Jones.

With an acting career spanning all the way back to the 1970s, Bill has nearly 200 movie and TV show credits to his name.

1:58 PM PT -- A lawyer for Fiona Harvey tells TMZ ... "The statements of George Galloway, a former Member of Parliament with his own agenda, which vaguely and generally claim that Ms. Harvey stalked him 'hundreds of times' forty years ago, has nothing whatsoever to do with what Netflix did to Ms. Harvey in 2024."

Fiona Harvey, the self-proclaimed inspiration for Netflix's "Baby Reindeer," has been hit with a new stalking allegation ... as British politician George Galloway has come forward as an alleged victim.

George stopped by "Piers Morgan Uncensored" and claimed Fiona stalked him during the '80s ... stating he chose to speak out after seeing FH on Piers' show last month.

Kenya Moore is speaking out amid the news she isn't returning for the remainder of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 16 ... assuring her fans she's doing just fine.

The Bravo personality took to Instagram Wednesday, hinting the full story behind her suspension and exit from the new season of 'RHOA' may not be out there. As Kenya put it ... she is grateful for fans' support but noted her "conscience is clean" amid the drama.

She continued ... "So many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources. All this conversation and no facts being reported. If a claim or source was valid, would they need to hide?"

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban just celebrated 18 years of marriage -- and one stunning image captured their beautiful relationship.

The legendary actress posted an Instagram photo Tuesday, showing herself barefoot in a patterned dress lying back across a stone wall with a picturesque view of a foggy blue ocean. Her musician husband was sitting next to her while strumming an acoustic guitar.

In the caption, Nicole wrote, "Forever ❤️ #happyanniversary"

Sunny Hostin says it's humanizing to see Jennifer Lopez flying commercial, and a sure sign she can still be a humble girl from the Bronx ... even though she's a world away from "the block."

We got Sunny Tuesday outside ABC Studios in NYC, where our photog asked her about the images we got of J Lo sitting in a window seat on an Air France flight from Italy to France. Now, she was flying business class, but it's still a far cry from her usual private jet lifestyle.

Sunny says the commercial air travel makes Jennifer more like a woman of the people ... and she likes the fact the singer/actress/dancer can still fly among the normies, despite all her fame and fortune.

Oprah Winfrey says she once didn't go to a star-studded Christmas party because she felt "too fat" to show face.

The media mogul opened up about her health journey on Tuesday's inaugural episode of the "The Jamie Kern Lima Show" ... recalling times she felt held back by public perception of her weight.

Oprah says in 1988, she was invited to Don Johnson's Christmas party ... a big deal for her at the time, considering he was starring on the hit TV show "Miami Vice."

Comedian Aries Spears is urging Black men to drop any preconceived, homophobic notions about colonoscopies, and get the potentially lifesaving procedure done ... just like he did.

The "MADtv" alum posted an update Tuesday from his hospital bed, and revealed doctors found 2 polyps during his colonoscopy. In his caption, Aries admitted he was previously worried about the procedure ... confessing he'd rescheduled his appointment out of fear doctors would stick a massive camera up his butt.

Aries cited homophobia in the Black community as the reason more Black guys aren't getting the health screening done.

Kenya Moore is officially putting down her peach for this next season at least -- 'cause she ain't coming back to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' ... and this could possibly turn ugly.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Kenya will not return as a cast member for the rest of production for the new season (16) after she was sidelined indefinitely for allegedly unveiling sexually explicit posters of newcomer Brittany Eady seemingly performing oral sex.

Now, we're told Kenya has not been fired from 'RHOA' ... instead, we're told both sides have agreed she's just gonna take a break from the show for now. Our sources say Bravo is keeping the door open for a future return -- however, we're also told Kenya is considering legal options at this point ... because she's not happy with how this whole mess unfolded.

Joy Behar says it's Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, who needs to be tested before this week's debate ... and she wants Trump hooked up to the polygraph.

We got "The View" host out Tuesday in NYC outside ABC Studios -- and our photog asked her about Trump challenging Biden to take a drug test ahead of Thursday's debate ... something DT floated in an attempt to suggest Joe is on PEDs, which is unfounded.

Trump's been attempting to fan the flames on this speculation about Joe before big public events -- but Joy's seriously downplaying those concerns ... and flipping the tables on DT.

Kevin Costner bowed out of "Yellowstone" to avoid the drama-filled rodeo ... and that's not a reference to the script.

The actor talks about how his return for S5's second installment was so intense, he found his decision to throw in the towel came pretty easily. As he explained to THR, "It was a necessary decision to say, 'Hey, OK, I don't want to really talk about this anymore. It's time to move on.'"

KC also said ... "I gave this thing five seasons. I was really happy to do it. And I don't need drama. So, let's just take that drama away, let's take the guessing [away]."

Jeremy Renner's near-fatal snowplow accident has really taken a toll on his career -- 'cause he says he's limited in the type of work he can do these days ... because he's still healing.

The actor went on the "SmartLess" podcast and says he's channeling all his energy into his recovery of late -- this, of course, after he was crushed by a snowplow in 2023 -- which is why he apparently can't take on certain roles for the time being.

JR explains that he can no longer take on challenging parts when getting on-camera because it simply takes too much out of him ... namely, time/energy he doesn't have anymore.

'Sopranos' star Drea de Matteo says OnlyFans empowers her to take care of her family financially ... and now she's feeling like a mob boss.

Drea's among the celebs stripping it off on sites like OnlyFans and making an absolute fortune in doing so ... and TMZ is examining the growing trend in Hollywood of getting naked on the internet.

When her bank account dwindled down to only a few hundred bucks, Drea says she bit the bullet and joined the OnlyFans trend ... because she didn't have a choice.

Before this lil' Florida gal in her Minnie Mouse tee turned into a Bravoleb, she was just a theater kid dancing around the house, riding horses at just 6 years old and dreaming of becoming a Broadway star!

She may have started out as Scheana Shay's "backup dancer," but she received rave reviews for her singing and dancing gig on Broadway earlier this year ... Perhaps you heard about her show's scandal that rocked the world.

Donald Trump says he learned people could get away with abhorrent behavior as long as they had good ratings like he did on "The Apprentice" ... according to a bombshell book.

The ex-prez made the claims during an interview with Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh for, "Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass" which dropped Tuesday.

We've already told you a little about the new book ... but, just as a refresher, DJT sat for several interviews with Setoodeh and, the portrayal of 45 as a lonely, occasionally dotty man ex-TV star isn't flattering.

Nicola Coughlan's haters aren't going to stop hating ... but, that's fine 'cause she's an inspiration to women everywhere who's not letting it get to her -- so says her costar.

Simone Ashley -- who's played Kate in the second and third seasons of the show -- recently answered questions about the hate her costar's received from people online who have criticized her body since her famous sex scene from the recently released third season of the show.

Ashley's pretty upfront ... telling festivalgoers in Monaco haters gonna hate, but it's not affecting Nicole -- assuring everyone she's very tough, and responding to all the hate with confidence and intelligence.
