Ex-NBA hooper and current weed entrepreneur Al Harrington has some solid advice for any newbies looking to celebrate the 4/20 holiday this year ... telling TMZ Sports it's pretty simple -- "get high as f***!!!"

Harrington knows his stuff -- the guy built an entire company around his love for Mary Jane ... serving as the CEO of the Viola brand.

He's doing pretty well for himself, too ... with the company valued at over $100 million.

Joaquin Phoenix has an ally on the Hollywood battlefield -- the historical advisor from his film, "Napoleon" is leaping to his defense following some biting criticism from Brian Cox.

Lorris Chevalier tells TMZ ... Joaquin did the best with what he was given on-set -- even though he himself wanted to take "Napoleon" in a different, unique, direction ... but he faced stiff opposition.

Despite his ideas being shut down, Lorris says Joaquin really threw himself into the role ... hitting up spots like Napoleon's private castle, the Malmaison and several other Napoleonic sites around Paris for some hands-on character research.

Morgan Wallen's speaking out about his arrest in Nashville ... saying he needed to make some mea culpas before he could put out a statement -- and adding, his tour will go on.

The country star -- who cops arrested after he allegedly threw a chair off a downtown bar's roof -- posted to X Friday, saying he didn't wanna speak out on this until he did a few things first ... including making good with the people he feels he's harmed.

Morgan writes, "I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility."

Alec Baldwin filed a witness list for his upcoming involuntary manslaughter trial, and it includes some "Rust" crew members -- like the recently imprisoned Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

The actor's attorneys submitted their list to the court Friday, and it's chock-full of potential names they say they might call come judgment day ... everything from actual eyewitnesses to sheriff's deputies, and even experts in relevant fields.

The big name is obviously Gutierrez-Reed ... the "Rust" armorer who was just recently found guilty in her own involuntary manslaughter trial for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.

Tori Spelling is back at it with her bathroom TMI -- this time ... telling everybody about a time she peed her pants ... with none other than a freaking diaper to help soak it all up.

Speaking on her 'MisSPELLING' podcast, the actress recounts a story about how she had to use the potty back in the day while she was driving on the 101 freeway here in Los Angeles -- and since there was no time to stop, she resorted to what she had in the car.

Tori says this happened while her son, Beau, was still in diapers ... so she had some on hand when her emergency hit in the middle of traffic.

Adele fans are voicing their frustration with Rolling Stone after a writer for their German edition claimed Taylor Swift is the better artist between the two.

As Taylor's new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," hit shelves and streaming services Friday, writer Ralf Niemczyk penned a review for Rolling Stone Germany -- with a headline that read, "Taylor Swift: 'The Tortured Poets Department' - the better Adele."

You can read the review for yourself to understand his larger point -- but the gist is ... he believes Taylor's new project, all about heartbreak, is on the level with Adele's work.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes might be on vacation, but the trolls seem to find them regardless ... with some hardcore Raiders fans giving them guff as they left a restaurant.

TMZ obtained video of the pair grabbing a bite at Rosa Negra -- a luxury Latin restaurant in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico -- Thursday night, and it looked like one hot date night for the couple, sans any kids.

Eyewitnesses say the couple hung out for about two hours before dipping out ... and, that's when they got heckled by some fans of an opposing team ... with some goons booing and hissing them, not to mention shouting "RAIDERS" to Patty and Brit as they bounced.

Zoe Saldana is saying goodbye to her swanky Beverly Hills pad and she's aiming to cash in big time ... listing it for a small fortune (if you're loaded, that is).

According to property records ... the actress' ritzy mansion hit the market Friday ... and if it manages to sell at the listing price of $14.5 MILLION, she stands to make a hefty profit, considering she scooped up the place for $8.7 million in 2016.

Zoe bought the place at the time from Kimora Lee Simmons, and it's clearly appreciated in value since then.

A manifesto has surfaced that's being attributed to the man who set himself on fire -- and if it's legit, which it certainly seems to be, then the guy's motivation was purely political.

The man in question has been ID'd as Max Azzarello -- and he appears to have his own Substack page called The Ponzi Papers ... with his latest post titled "I have set myself on fire outside the Trump Trial."

The first lines are telling, and you can clearly make out that this man is very anti-governmental. He writes, "My name is Max Azzarello, and I am an investigative researcher who has set himself on fire outside of the Trump trial in Manhattan. This extreme act of protest is to draw attention to an urgent and important discovery."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's physical transformation continues ... and next up for a makeover is her mouth ...  TMZ has learned.

In new photos obtained by TMZ ... Gypsy displays her new porcelain caps, which she got to replace the silver teeth she's had for many years. Witnesses say she was spotted Wednesday at a Walmart in Galliano, LA debuting her new smile.

Remember, several of Gypsy's teeth and salivary glands were removed by her mother, Dee Dee, after she claimed GRB was suffering from tooth decay.

12:26 PM PT -- Authorities have identified the man who set himself on fire as Maxwell Azzarello -- and they say he arrived in New York at some point over the past week. They say he walked into the park, threw pamphlets onto the ground and then doused himself in some kind of substance.

He then lit himself on fire, and is now at a burn unit in critical condition. Fire officials say his family was unaware he was even in New York -- apparently, the guy came from Florida.

A man set himself on fire in front of the courthouse where former President Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial is currently underway ... and the footage is shocking.

Taylor Swift suggests she had a problem with alcohol in one of her new songs -- even though, frankly, she's no stranger to booze right now ... hard to tell if she's serious or not.

The singer dropped her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," Friday, which details her breakups from Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy. In the opening track "Fortnight," fans picked up on a lyric that paints her (or whoever she's singing as) as an alky during this time.

Taylor sings ... "I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me / I was a functioning alcoholic 'til nobody noticed my new aesthetic. All of this to say, I hope you're okay / But you're the reason / And no one here's to blame / But what about your quiet treason?"
