Bam Margera's clearing the air about why his UK tour got the axe -- and while some have suspected it's all about him falling off the wagon ... he's saying he's clean and sober.

Here's the deal ... Bam's been across the pond lately for a string of Q&A gigs he'd booked through a promoter -- where he was scheduled to talk to audiences ... all of which recently came to a screeching halt after the peeps he was working with announced the rest of his appearances were cancelled.

There's been a lot of accusations and drama brewing in the background this past week -- with allegations that Bam was acting erratic and rolling with a new crew of misfits.

Chris Brown and Quavo are currently tangled in a gnarly rap beef -- and it's all about Karrueche Tran ... who just addressed how she feels about it all on camera.

The actress spoke to a pap at LAX Thursday -- who asked her how she felt about the fact her two exes have been trading bars back and forth over the fact they each dated her at separate times ... and you can tell she wants to stay out of the drama.

At first, she claims not to have heard either Chris or Quavo's diss tracks yet -- but eventually caved and admitted she actually has when faced with a listening session on the spot.

La causa oficial de muerte de O.J. Simpson, uno de los estadounidenses más infames de todos los tiempos, ha sido revelada: murió de cáncer de próstata, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Malcolm Lavergne, abogado de Simpson desde hace mucho tiempo y albacea de su patrimonio, nos dice que recibió el certificado de defunción de la deshonrada ex superestrella de fútbol y actor, lo que confirma nuestro informe de que O.J. sucumbió al cáncer.

Simpson, de 76 años, falleció el 10 de abril tras pasar varios meses en un centro de cuidados paliativos.

Bob Barker's historic estate was listed for $2.9 million -- but whoever snapped it up ended up spending even more to buy it ... going well over asking.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... interior designer Julia Dempster sealed the deal Thursday by plunking down a whopping $3,788,000 on the 6-bedroom, 6-bath Spanish Colonial Revival-style Hollywood Hills estate, this just a month after it hit the market.

We're told the estate had a staggering 250 showings, so it was clearly in high demand ... hence why Julia had to dig deep into her pockets to snag it. Now, she gets to sit back, relax and enjoy her new home, which is a true slice of L.A. history.

2:35 PM PT -- Ryan just addressed Ray's passing himself, writing ... "RIP Ray Chan. Words are pretty inadequate in comparison to this loss."

He adds, "There's an incomparable reservoir of skill, tender grit and talent no longer with us. As Production Designer, he was as important a creative force on Deadpool & Wolverine as the writers, director and stars. I don't pretend to know every chapter of Ray's heart, but I know it's unusual to encounter someone with that level of artistry, who simultaneously moved through the world with such an indelible humanity."

Ryan says he last saw Ray 2 weeks ago, and the two of them shared a lot of playful banter. Sounds like RR was able to share fond memories with the guy -- something Ryan cherishes.

Kanye West plans to flex his creative muscles in his latest venture, which means you can expect his usual creative genius to be on display in the porn industry ... according to Stormy Daniels' ex, Mike Moz.

Moz is a vet in adult films -- he currently oversees production for Vixen Media Group -- but as TMZ first reported, he's in talks to come on board with Yeezy Porn. However that turns out, he's already convinced Ye could totally change the industry.

Mike tells us, "I’ve been having discussions with Ye about a potential collab between Yeezy brand and my team at Vixen Media Group. While it’s too early to give any details I’m excited about where Ye’s vision takes this."

Gypsy Rose is missing a pretty big bag from her TikTok account -- several thousand dollars that ended up in her estranged husband's hands when she deleted her account.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Gypsy, who had over 9 million Tiktok followers, earned approximately $6,000 through the creator fund from all the videos on her TikTok page, an account she needed to connect to a PayPal a couple of months ago.

Since she didn't have a PayPal account, Gypsy hooked it up to her then-husband Ryan Anderson's account ... and she didn't really think about the money again.

Ryan Garcia vs. Devin Haney II ... coming soon to a ring near you?!

Maybe, according to Haney's promoter, Eddie Hearn ... who tells TMZ Sports he hopes the two young stars can do battle once again.

"I hope so," Hearn, one of boxing's most influential and powerful promoters told us when we asked whether Ryan and Devin could run it back.

Harvey Weinstein's guilty verdict in New York was overturned, but there's no way that happens here on the West Coast ... according to the L.A. County D.A.'s Office, that is.

While many are questioning whether Weinstein's L.A. conviction will hold up now that a NY appeals court tossed his conviction, the prosecutors who handled the case here in Cali aren't worried one bit ... telling TMZ its case was consistent with state law.

A rep for the D.A.'s office says California law allows "propensity evidence" in sexual assault cases subject to a judge's discretion ... and, the office used evidence of Weinstein's sexual assaults in other jurisdictions to make its case -- totally legal, according to them.

Kellie Pickler's late husband's assets have been revealed ... and he owned nearly a dozen firearms -- which is interesting in light of how he died.

Kyle Jacobs' assets were listed in legal docs, obtained by TMZ, pertaining to his probate case ... revealing a list of exactly what Jacobs owned at the time of his death.

Among, the items ... Rolex watches, musical instruments including guitars and violas, family photos, laptops, iPhones, custom knives, a gun safe -- and 11 firearms with firearm suppressors.

Kelly Oubre Jr. lost a playoff game Monday night and then he lost his beloved car ... TMZ Sports has learned he wrecked his Lamborghini in a crash just hours after the Sixers fell to the Knicks in Game 2 of their postseason series.

The Philadelphia Police Dept. tells us the wreck happened at around 1:45 AM on Tuesday ... shortly after Oubre and the 76ers dropped a heartbreaker at Madison Square Garden, 104-101.

Cops say Oubre's 2021 matte purple Lambo "disregarded a red traffic signal" ... and plowed into a 2023 Hyundai Elantra.

Michael Penix Jr. feels like he "should be" taken in the top 10 of Thursday night's NFL draft ... but he won't be crushed if he's not -- telling TMZ Sports he's going to make the most of whatever situation he's put in.

The former Washington Huskies star was cool as a cucumber some 24 hours before the NFL kicked off its annual selection process -- not sweating the draft one bit.

However, when the topic of being one of the first 10 players taken in the annual event came up ... he did say he believes he belongs in that group.

Donald Trump podría ir a la cárcel por el caso de sobornos, pero incluso antes de eso podría ser encerrado por desacato a una orden que lo obliga a guardar silencio, algo para lo que el Servicio Secreto está listo, pero que no anticipa.

Como ya sabrán, Trump está siendo juzgado en Nueva York. Los fiscales están tratando de convencer a un jurado de que el ex Presidente infringió la ley al supuestamente coordinar unos pagos a Stormy Daniels para mantenerla silenciada antes de las elecciones de 2016, algo de lo que Trump se ha declarado inocente.

Aunque técnicamente se enfrentaría a una sentencia máxima de hasta 4 años en prisión si es declarado culpable, nadie espera que eso realmente suceda, especialmente para alguien como Trump, que no tiene historia criminal previa.

Donald Trump may go to jail in his hush money case -- but even before that, he may get locked up over a gag order ... something the Secret Service is ready for, but not anticipating.

As you may know, Trump is currently on trial in New York City ... where prosecutors are trying to convince a jury he broke the law by allegedly coordinating payments to Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet ahead of the 2016 election ... something for which he's pled not guilty.

While he's technically facing a maximum sentence of up to 4 years in prison if convicted -- no one really expects that to happen, especially for a first-time offender like Trump.

Un personaje de "Los Simpson" murió esta semana, provocando conmoción e indignación entre sus fans, y un productor dice que no esperaba menos de los incondicionales de la serie.

Tim Long, co-productor ejecutivo de la sitcom animada de larga duración, le dice a TMZ que el equipo creativo quería que la muerte de Larry golpeara duro a la audiencia, a pesar de que nunca tuvo un gran momento en el programa.

Por si no lo sabías, Larry fue un personaje de fondo en el show, apareciendo por primera vez en 1989 durante la temporada 1, y sobre todo aparece en la taberna de Moe cerca de Homero y sus amigos. De vez en cuando lanza una línea o dos.

"The Simpsons" killed off a longtime character this week, sparking shock and outrage among its fans ... and one producer says he expects nothing less from the show's diehards.

Tim Long, co-executive producer of the long-running animated sitcom, tells TMZ ... the creative team meant for Larry “The Barfly” Dalrymple's death to hit the audience hard -- even though Dalrymple never had a big moment on the show.

ICYMI ... Larry was a background character on the show, first appearing back in 1989 during season 1, and mostly showing up in Moe's Tavern near Homer Simpson and his friends. He occasionally throws out a line or two.
