Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

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?"

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.

The Jamie Kern Lima Show

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."

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 Not Returning to 'RHOA' Season 16 ... Weighing Legal Options

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 I DON'T NEED ALL THE 'YELLOWSTONE' DRAMA!!!

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.

Guess Who This Birthday Cutie Turned Into!

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 'Apprentice' Taught Me A Lesson ... Good Ratings Excuse Mean, Rude Behavior!!!

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.

'Bridgerton' Actress Simons Ashley Defends Costar Nicole Coughlan ... 'Inspiration' To Women Everywhere!!!

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.

"Wizards of Waverly Place" alum Dan Benson says a very specific issue led him down the road to OnlyFans ... his nudes were being leaked on the internet without him seeing a dime.

As Dan explains in our new documentary, "TMZ Presents: Famous & Naked," his nudes kept popping up on seedy websites ... and when he would get them taken down from one site, they would just appear in other spaces.

'Euphoria' Star Nika King Thrilled For Season 3 ... But Is She Actually Comin' Back???

Nika King says she's stoked the long-awaited third season for "Euphoria" is finally back on track ... but at this point, it's a little unclear if she's even gonna be part of the new season.

We talked to the actress after HBO honchos confirmed the hit show was back in production, and there'd be a time jump in the story ... which Nika says she's all for, considering how long it's been since Season 2 ended.

It makes sense -- especially since cast members have changed in real life ... not to mention the passing of Angus Cloud.
