Big Boy says he's heard through the grapevine that Drake is geared up to respond to Kendrick Lamar (again) after the latter's latest harsh diss ... and the DJ loves it!

The legendary Real 92.3 radio host hopped on "TMZ Live" Wednesday to give his two cents on the recent chain of events -- namely, K. Dot and Drizzy trading barbs over verses ... which are growing increasingly personal, especially with Kendrick's latest, "Euphoria."

Funny enough, Drake already kinda had a reaction to the song ... with a whimsical reference to "10 Things I Hate About You" -- which seems to suggest he doesn't take Kendrick seriously.

Columbia Professor Jack Halberstam is weighing in on the growing tensions on campus ... after pro-Palestinian protesters occupied a building at the Ivy League school.

Britney Spears needs a lot of help right now -- and the answer may lie in a new conservatorship and a ton of medication ... so says Dr. Charles Sophy.

We got the famed Hollywood psychiatrist Monday on "TMZ Live," where he offered up his professional opinion on Britney's situation -- this as she appears to be unraveling at the seams ... with her finances in shambles as she continues to spend excessively.

Take a listen to what Dr. Sophy says he thinks Britney requires at this point ... from his POV, he believes a second round of a court-ordered conservatorship might be what's best.

Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial in NYC could face an unfair playing field based on the jury -- but in terms of who it benefits, it's a crapshoot ... so says Dr. Phil.

The TV personality spoke to "TMZ Live" Friday about the 12 jurors who'll decide DT's fate -- the bios for whom have been released ... including their work backgrounds and their education. As it turns out ... this jury is full of a bunch of smart cookies.

There are two lawyers on the jury ... and Phil says that could both hurt and help Trump and co., depending on how they feel politically. Take a listen ... his analysis is kinda spot-on.
