Kelly Clarkson is getting honest about her physical transformation ... admitting she used a weight loss drug to help shed pounds -- something she'd kinda tip-toed around until now.

The singer got candid about her health journey during Monday's episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where Whoopi Goldberg shared her experience with weight loss medication ... and for which Kelly chimed in with her own experience.

Kelly told Whoopi and her audience that she hadn't planned on sharing this side of her life ... but admitted she too was prescribed a weight loss med after troubling bloodwork.

Donald Trump's rant about the "wonderful" Hannibal Lecter isn't sitting well with one of the guys who helped make "The Silence of the Lambs," and he's taking a bite out of DT's rhetoric.

Edward Saxon -- part of the Oscar-winning trio that produced the film -- tells TMZ ... he has a pretty good idea why Trump might be so eager to split some fava beans and a nice Chianti with old Hannibal the Cannibal.

He says, "My guess is, Letcer feels like a kindred spirit. Part of it may be aspirational in that Lecter is brilliant and is able to see into people’s motivations and control them."

Magic Johnson claims he has no idea who the Lakers' next head coach will be ... but he definitely knows who it WON'T be -- Magic Johnson -- 'cause the Hall of Famer tells TMZ Sports those days are long gone.

The Purple and Gold are currently coach-less after parting ways with Darvin Ham following his second season at the helm ... and when we caught up with the legend last week, he didn't want to speculate on who could fill the seat he briefly held three decades back.

"I couldn't tell ya," Magic said when asked about the vacancy in Beverly Hills. "It's up to the Lakers and Jeanie [Buss] and Rob Pelinka. I hope they get a good one, though."

Another Monday has come and gone ... so be sure to end your day with some TMZ TV hot takes.

First up, we have "TMZ Live," where Mike and Charles discuss the surprising events from Taylor Swift's updated Eras tour ... including a guest who probably shouldn't have been in attendance.

While Rob Gronkowski may have made headlines with his frat boy funny stuff at the Tom Brady Roast on Netflix ... there is nothing funny about this birthday boys shirtless shots.

The former NFL tight end has repeatedly hit his social media with some hot selfies and the now 35-year-old athlete and notorious partier is putting his A-list abs on full display.

Before this lil' guy sitting at the dinner table turned into a talented singer and actor, he was just giving side eye to the camera and growing up in sunny Los Angeles with big dreams of becoming a star!

Yes he's big in the theatre world, but he also belted it out in "Pitch Perfect" with Anna Kendrick. Just last week he and his fiancé turned many heads with their stylish looks at this year's Met Gala.

Tyrese's legal woes appear to be following him wherever he goes, but he dodged a bullet out in Georgia this past weekend ... bailing on a concert after someone tried serving him.

A video making the rounds online shows the singer serenading a crowd at the Stockbridge Amphitheater a couple days ago ... when a security guard attendant appears to whisper something in his ear while he's in the middle of performing.

Tyrese keeps singing for a bit before abruptly jumping down from the stage and booking it up the side steps towards the exit, telling the crowd he loves them (and continuing to sing!)

Khloe Kardashian is turning Tristan Thompson's latest NBA game into a family affair ... turning up to his game with a very special entourage -- including their kids.

The reality star and her 2 children with Tristan -- daughter True and son Tatum -- popped up at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Monday ... where the Cleveland Cavaliers are set to face against the Boston Celtics for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... this game is extra special as it's the first time True and Tatum are seeing Papa Bear play professionally. We're told True has been asking to go to a game ... and so Khloe wanted to make this a special outing for her.

Anya Taylor-Joy is likely feeling grateful for her security team after one fan relentlessly pursued getting an autograph ... 'cause they were able to keep him away, but it took WORK!

Check out this wild video that's making the rounds online ... you see the actress -- who's in France promoting her new flick, "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" -- making her way through a crowd of adoring fans shouting her name, and a bunch of people following her.

Anya -- rocking a body-hugging orange dress and an oversized sun hat -- tries to keep a cool demeanor as she walks alongside her security guard and other members of her team ... that is, until one dude insists on trying to get her John Hancock ... very aggressively.

Sam Rubin's son paid tribute to his late father on the air just 3 days after his untimely death -- and it's heart-wrenching, to say the least ... because he got choked up several times.

Sitting beside his dad's KTLA colleagues Monday ... Colby Rubin held it together pretty well during a letter he read aloud to his dad ... but at times, needed a few seconds to collect himself before reflecting on his dad's profound impact on his life over the last 16 years.

Colby wasn't just speaking to the crowd ... the message was directly to Sam, making it all the more raw as he told SR how much he idolized him -- and how he'd always be his hero.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charitable org has hit a snag -- being declared delinquent by the state of California, but there's a perfectly good explanation ... snail mail.

Here's the deal ... the Archewell Foundation was found to be "delinquent" this week on paying its renewal fees -- and it's technically barred from fundraising until that gets fixed. On its face, it sounded like the charity wasn't taking care of business ... but that's not quite the case.

We're told the reason Archewell was able to hit this not-so-great status is because a check to pay for these registration fees was simply never received, although we hear it was sent.

Chris Pratt is finding both support and hate online after he noticeably snubbed his ex-wife, Anna Faris, in his Mother's Day tribute ... as it seems folks are torn on the issue.

Like many spouses on Sunday, the Marvel star took to Instagram to pay tribute to the moms in his life ... writing a glowing tribute for his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger and mom Kathy Pratt. Of course, he also has a kid with Anna ... his 11-year-old son Jack.

While Chris had a mouthful for his current wife, he made no mention of Anna -- BTW, he did this last year, failing to shout her out at the time -- and some people were pissed.

Flavor Flav's revving up the hype train for the U.S. women's water polo team, and one of its star players, Maggie Steffens, is still floored by how they landed the celeb endorsement.

Maggie, the team captain, and Flav joined us for a chat Monday on "TMZ Live" ... and she admitted she definitely didn't expect the rapper to answer her IG call for more support for her team.

Fact is, the team's won gold at the last 3 Olympic games -- but still needed something, or someone, to juice TV ratings this summer in Paris.

Taylor Swift is officially laying claim to a nickname for a new part of her "Eras" tour -- and while it remains to be seen if it'll amount to anything ... she's at least locking down the rights.

The singer filed a trademark application last week -- and it touches on something she shouted out this weekend during her Paris stint ... namely, 'Female Rage: The Musical.'

In documents obtained by TMZ ... TAS Rights Management -- a company owned by Taylor -- filed paperwork to trademark the phrase ... which, as the singer explained on social media Sunday, was the theme of her newly added "Tortured Poets Department" set.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are on their way to Connecticut for the WNBA season opener, and the women are traveling in style -- ditching the commercial flights for a charter -- and they couldn't be more HYPED!

Of course, the WNBA announced last week that they were scrapping regular commercial flights, instead revealing the hoopers would now travel on a plane exclusively for the squad this upcoming season.

The Fever are set to open the season on Tuesday against the Sun ... and Erica Wheeler -- who signed with the Fever in 2023 -- couldn't help but show off the new mode of transportation on social media.
