Controversial S#!T

Honey Boo Boo's seems ready to cut her mom off ... saying she expects to get all her money back -- 'cause she doesn't mess around with thieves.

In the latest money-related development on "Mama June: Family Crisis" Alana Thompson -- better known as Honey Boo Boo -- and Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon sat Mama June down to figure out what she owes Alana.

The final tally ... the kids say it's about $35k -- no small chunk of change, and Mama June seems pretty indignant about payin' it back.

Rebecca Ferguson's story scared the heck out of some former costars ... leading A-listers to call her in an accusatory way -- but, she says she's not worried about it.

The actress -- who confessed a mystery costar tore into her on set -- opened up about the moment during an interview on "The Jess Cagle Show" ... saying she didn't think about the huge reaction her tale might get.

Ferguson says she didn't necessarily want internet sleuths to try and find the A-lister she says screamed in her face back in the day ... she just wanted to answer the question.

Morgan Wallen's squashing rumors he's feuding with his ex, KT Smith ... hangin' out with Smith and their son Indigo in the first photos taken since his arrest.

The singer-songwriter stepped out in Nashville in a casual outfit ... t-shirt and jeans just days after cops arrested him for allegedly tossing a chair off the roof of a popular Nashville bar.

KT's also dressed in a causal outfit ... great for running after their little one, Indigo -- who's turning four this summer. She's holdin' the little dude in some pics and just tryna keep up in others.

O.J. Simpson's estate won't pay his civil trial's judgment anytime soon ... according to the estate's executor who says he plans to fight any payments to the Browns or Goldmans.

Simpson's will -- obtained by TMZ -- names his longtime attorney Malcolm LaVergne as his executor ... and, Malcolm says he's focused on keeping money out of the hands of the families, specifically the Goldmans. The will also refers to a trust, which all his property was placed into in January.

Malcolm tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal, "It's my hope that the Goldmans get zero, nothing. Them specifically. And I will do everything in my capacity as the executor or personal representative to try and ensure that they get nothing."

Lil Tay's startin' a music beef ... blasting comparisons to JoJo Siwa -- and slamming her as a fraud for purchasing her songs.

The controversial rapper took to X after one user jokingly called her Siwa while sharing a clip from her "SUCKER 4 GREEN" music video.

Welp ... Tay didn't take too kindly to the comparison -- 'cause she says she just found out who JS was from the tweet, and she tells fans she doesn't want to ever hear their names in the same sentence again 'cause she doesn't pay other people to write her music.

Bill Maher tackled one of the most burning questions in the history of "Star Trek" Friday ... and thanks to William Shatner, we now have our answer!

The 'Real Time' host interviewed Shatner on his HBO show – and, at one point during their convo, Bill asked about the famous interracial kiss between Admiral James T. Kirk (white) and Lt. Nyota Uhura (Black).

Shatner, as Kirk, planted the lip smacker on Nichelle Nichols, as Uhura, in the 1968 Star Trek episode titled, "Plato's Stepchildren." The moment was very controversial because NBC – which aired "Star Trek" – was afraid of turning off their conservative Southern audience.

O.J. Simpson's acquittal in his 1994 murder trial remains one of the most controversial verdicts to date, but a member of his defense -- the so-called Dream Team -- stands by the strategies they used to get him off.

Perhaps the most controversial of their strategies was playing the "race card" during the trial ... a decision attorney Carl Douglas defends, claiming both sides knew race would play a factor in the case.

He tells TMZ ... "The prosecution played the race card as well when they brought on a Black prosecutor (Christopher Darden) for the first time when the jury was all assembled on the first day of trial."

Sales of O.J. Simpson's "If I Did It" book have exploded since the infamous star's death, with the publication skyrocketing to the top of the charts.

76-year-old O.J. died on Wednesday -- a day before the public found out -- when the Simpson family announced the news ... and reignited interest in the grizzly, 1994 double murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.

According to Amazon.com, the world's largest bookseller, "If I Did It" sits in the number 1, 2, and 4 spots (different versions of the book -- audio, abridged, unabridged) in the entire Criminology section. It's also number 8 in the Murder/True Crime section.

Chelsea Green's phone has been dry AF lately -- at least when it comes to hearing from her newest nemesis -- 'cause the WWE Superstar tells TMZ Sports the folks at The Plaza in NYC still haven't hit her up to clear the air after hotel staffers mistook her for an escort.

As we previously reported, Green tried to get a drink with a friend at the Champagne Bar before attending a Broadway show last Tuesday ... but ended up being humiliated when security singled her out and told her to scram on multiple occasions.

Green said at the time she believed it was due to her wardrobe choice ... as numerous staffers commented about how she was there for "business" -- the bedroom kind.

Little did they know, she really WAS in town for business -- she had just participated in "Monday Night Raw" at Barclays Center the night prior.

After the incident went viral, Green claimed the hotel reached out to her on social media ... promising to set up a time to hash things out.

But, we're told that day still hasn't come ... which means Green was left without both a drink AND an apology.

JoJo Siwa has addressed the rumors she stole her new song from Miley Cyrus and Brit Smith ... telling TMZ she in no way swiped the single from anyone.

We caught up with the 20-year-old outside Studio Siwa in Burbank, where she told us how she came into possession of her viral track, "Karma." As JoJo put it ... she was pitched the song -- which she defended as a very normal thing in the music industry.

She added ... "What happens is, people write songs and then they just don't do anything with them. And then, a few years later, it makes more sense for another artist."

Quavo isn't letting Chris Brown's scorned lover disses slide -- and showed he can play the same game of racking up streams with slick talk!!!

On his new track "Tender," Quavo ribs Chris for his history of domestic violence ... "You did the bitch wrong and now the bitch gone, she posted with a thug ... Call the bitch phone, she won't come home, don't beat her up/It must be the drugs, need to cross out your plug."

The woman he's referring to is not Rihanna, but Karrueche Tran -- remember, CB fired the first shot, slicing through Quavo on his new "11:11" deluxe album over his ex-GF Karrueche sliding with Huncho ... years ago, mind you.

La ex participante de "So You Think You Can Dance", Korra Obidi, está a la caza de información después de haber sido presuntamente atacada en Londres por un desconocido que portaba un cuchillo.

La bailarina nigeriana, que se hizo famosa por una audición para "So You Think You Can Dance" mientras estaba embarazada en 2019, compartió con sus seguidores de Instagram que tuvo que ser llevada al hospital después de que alguien la atacara con un cuchillo y le arrojara líquido, que ella temía que fuera ácido.

En un video subido a su feed el jueves, Korra compartió las secuelas del ataque, en el que tuvo que pedirle una Coca-Cola a un transeúnte para poder enjuagarse la cara que le ardía.

"So You Think You Can Dance" alum Korra Obidi is on the hunt for info after she was allegedly attacked in London by a stranger wielding a knife.

The Nigerian dancer, who famously auditioned for 'SYTYCD' while pregnant in 2019, shared with her Instagram followers she was taken to the hospital after someone attacked her with a knife and threw liquid on her -- which she feared was acid.

In a video uploaded to her feed Thursday, Korra shared the aftermath of the attack ... in which she asked a bystander for their Coke so she could rinse off her burning face.

The news of O.J. Simpson's death is sparking a wave of commentary -- much of it coming in the form of humorous memes based on the most controversial aspects of his life ... because the Internet is gonna Internet.

Almost immediately social media users rushed to upload their hot takes/jokes, going in hard on Simpson ... with several focused on the infamous low-speed Bronco chase from 1994.

Several people photoshopped the Bronco into a hearse ... while others used footage of the chase to create imagery of the cops following a hearse down L.A.'s 405 freeway, and joking that Simpson's funeral procession should look just like that.

J.K. Rowling no tiene pensado reconciliarse con las ex estrellas de "Harry Potter", Daniel Radcliffe y Emma Watson... al menos así lo declaró esta semana en sus redes sociales.

La controvertida autora, que se ha enfrentado a una enorme cantidad de críticas por sus opiniones contra las personas trans en los últimos años, utilizó X para compartir una nueva reseña médica que arremete contra los tratamientos de cuidado de género para los jóvenes.

Mientras J.K. Rowling compartía esta reseña con sus seguidores, un fan le dijo que estaban esperando a que Daniel y Emma se disculparan con ella. Recordemos que Daniel y Emma se distanciaron públicamente de la autora al manifestar su apoyo a las personas trans mientras su ex colaboradora era cancelada.

J.K. Rowling has no plans to make up with former 'Harry Potter' stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson ... stating as much on social media this week.

The controversial author -- who has faced an immense amount of backlash for her anti-transgender views over the years -- took to X to share a newly released medical review lambasting gender care treatments for young people.

As JKR shared this review with her followers, one fan said they were waiting for Daniel and Emma to apologize to her. Remember, DR and EW publicly distanced themselves from the author by vocalizing their support for trans folks as their ex-collaborator was being canceled.
