The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni beef is going big time ... getting roasted during the opening monologue at the Critics Choice Awards.
Chelsea Handler is hosting tonight's award show at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica and she poked fun of the "It Ends With Us" costars and their legal war.
The comedian started by thanking Blake and Justin for providing a distraction for lots of folks who have had a tough start to their year.
Brett Favre says he's down to donate his brain following his death so it can be used for CTE research ... though he tells TMZ Sports he's sure hopeful that's a decision he and his family won't have to make for a LONG time.
Favre infamously dealt with head injuries throughout his 20-year NFL career ... and when we asked him this week if he'd consider giving his cerebrum up to scientists following his passing so it can be studied, he said he wouldn't mind.
Hollywood hustler Lisa Rinna came to play, but she's not waiting around for you all day! Scope out the two showy shots ... Do you have what it takes to track down the minor changes? You may want to tap your heels three times for good luck 😜!
In a New York minute, the former soap star recently turned heads in this bold blue look for the Marc Jacobs 2025 Runway Show, but it seems she left an accessory back at her hotel ...
Can you button up the sneaky switcheroos?
HINT: There are THREE differences in the above Lisa Rinna photos!**
A$AP Rocky has at least one secret he does NOT want coming out in his assault trial ... so much so, he tried to stop his pal A$AP Twelvyy from answering a question on the stand!
Prosecutors grilled Twelvyy during Friday's court proceedings, showing him a photo of Rocky's bed with the letters "AWGE" emblazoned on the furniture, and asked what the letters mean -- but before Twelvyy could respond, Rocky yelled out, "Don't say!"
The outburst created some chaos ... Twelvyy would only say, "It means AWGE," which pissed off the prosecutor, who asked the judge to force the witness to be more forthcoming. When Twelvyy kept stonewalling, Rocky's attorney, Joe Tacopina, asked for a sidebar with the judge.
David Dobrik has officially entered his thirst trap era ... and while his friends are there to cheer him on, they're not above begging for a job in the process.
Dobrik -- the YouTuber who went through a dramatic body transformation over the last year -- is collaborating again with Hugo Boss, showing off his new chiseled body in the new Boss One boxer briefs. And while Dobrik’s body is nice to look at, it's the comments on the post giving fans a good laugh.
One from cohost Jason Nash continues an ongoing plea to bring back video versions of their podcast "Views," which hasn’t posted a new video in over two years. Fans of the Vlog Squad know this is something Nash has been wanting for a while, ever since he made the move to doing TikTok Lives on the regular.
Colin Farrelland Chase Stokes are also repping for the fellas ... Colin's looking nothing like his work on the HBO hit series "The Penguin," for which he's nominated.
Daymond John is mourning the loss of his childhood friend Irv Gotti, like countless others in the music industry -- and believes his late friend would have had a hearty LOL at 50 Cent's "tribute."
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the legendary Shark as he pumped himself with stem cell therapy at a research center in Costa Rica -- the type of treatment he wishes Irv would've adopted.
Dozens of celebrities sent their condolences in the wake of Irv's death -- including 50 Cent in a half-tribute, half-backhanded fashion ... "smoking on Irv pack" with a "God Bless 'em" that felt somewhat sincere.
Despite Irv and 50's complicated history, Daymond believes Irv would have gotten a kick out of 50's post ... something The Breakfast Club's DJ Envy can understand.
TMZ.com
Daymond admits their Queens neighborhoods were rough growing up, but bred tough skin ... not to mention how Irv and his record label infamously beat a federal money-laundering case!!!
Irv's official cause of death hasn't been revealed but Daymond tells us Irv confirmed he suffered a stroke during their final call last month ... and the Murder Inc. exec was missing the vigor he's known him to have throughout their lifelong friendship.
TMZ.com
DayJ recalls, Irv and music video pioneer Hype Williams all got their start sitting on the sidelines of the artist side of the music industry ... but went on to make their mark in pop culture.
The good memories include hanging out on Kanye West's "Gold Digger" video shoot with Jamie Foxx, Pharrell ... and the time Irv told a then-unknown Pitbull to ditch the "keep it real" approach to his music.
And wouldn't you know it, Mr. Worldwide went on to become a Diamond-selling artist!!!

Everyone in town got a front-row seat to the Cardi B show -- she was out and about, keeping the vibes high and making sure everyone is hyped for the weekend.

TMZSports.com
Jordan allegedly got his Lamborghini SUV stuck on train tracks early Tuesday morning after a night out in Florida ... and when cops arrived at the scene, they claim he showed signs of intoxication.
Sean "Diddy" Combs may have the full support of Kanye West demanding his release from prison ... but some of the high-profile attorneys suing Diddy have a much different take -- one that both music moguls ain't gonna like very much.
As you may know, the trio of lawyers have filed a truckload of lawsuits against Diddy on behalf of their clients for alleged rape, sex trafficking and sexual abuse that dates back decades.
Hollywood is taking over New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX ... and the list of celebrities planning on attending the big game Sunday is pretty impressive ... there's actors, comedians, rappers, singers, influencers and more.
Our sources tell us Cardi B, Pete Davidson, Kevin Hart, Jake From State Farm, Russell Wilson and Ciara are expected to be at the Caesars Superdome to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kevin's a Philly guy, Russell plays in the NFL, Cardi's been in NOLA marketing her alcohol brand, State Farm has brand deals with Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce ... and we're told Pete's developed a good relationship with the head of security for the Eagles ... so lots of connections to the game for these celebs.
Olivia Newton-John's Santa Ynez ranch is set to be a new owner's "Xanadu" ... the striking property has officially sold after several months on the market.
Real estate sources tell TMZ ... a buyer has decided to be hopelessly devoted to the 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom estate located in Santa Barbara County -- one of California's famed wine regions.
Whoever walked away with the deed certainly got one hell of a deal, as the property was initially listed back in May for a whopping $8.965 million ... and it just sold for $7.95M.
Rick Ross just may want to re-route his plans to bring the "BMF" film to movie theaters ... getting the green light may be tricky considering he'd have to ask his No. 1 competition, 50 Cent, for permission!!!
Sources with direct knowledge of the existing contracts tell TMZ Hip Hop that 50 is the sole owner of both the "BMF" stories' TV and film rights -- and nothing is changing!!!
We're also hearing 50's G-Unit film division is already deep in production of Tammy Cowins' life story to continue the next official phase of his BMF franchise.
Taylor Swift is the person LOTS of celebs want to mingle with Sunday in her Super Bowl luxury suite ... but we know one person who is NOT invited -- Blake Lively.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Blake is not on Taylor's list of guests as she watches BF Travis Kelce take a run at 3 rings in a row.
JANUARY 2024
BACKGRID
We're told, despite what Blake thinks, their friendship is fractured after a text surfaced where Blake told Justin Baldoni she was Khaleesi (from 'GoT') and hubby Ryan Reynolds and Taylor were her "dragons."
TMZ.com
Taylor has not seen Blake in a while ... she's been spending lots of time with Travis and hasn't been in New York recently, but we're told the distance is more than geographic.
TMZ broke the story ... Taylor was royally pissed off and, as a well-connected source close to Taylor told us, she was never her dragon. In fact, although Blake tried to make Justin believe Swift was siding with her over a script dispute, Taylor never had a dog in the fight.
TMZ.com
As we reported, Blake had invited Taylor over to her penthouse and Swift had no idea there was a meeting going on between Blake and Justin. Taylor walked in as Justin was leaving, and all she did was tell him she was excited to see his movie.
To add insult to injury, we're told Taylor later learned Blake was name-dropping TS all over town.
We also reported Blake believes her relationship with Taylor is not strained, although that's not what we're hearing from our sources regarding Taylor's feelings about the whole thing. Blake says they had a good cry and hugged it out. Even if that happened, there are unquestionably hard feelings on Taylor's side.
Farrah Abraham is telling Gracie Abramsto put down the mic following her recent "out of date" comments that porn is "dangerous, not real, and a performance" ... telling TMZ she would never shame people for consuming adult content as they explore their sexuality.
She says porn is all about self-discovery in a healthy and safe manner ... and puts an emphasis on consent, which is massively important to her.
The "Teen Mom" alum even suggests the "I Love You, I'm Sorry" singer gets a reality check about the adult entertainment industry, explaining that everyone -- from young people to longtime married folks -- is choosing to watch porn for ideas that can suit their desires.
