Timothée Chalamet clearly doesn't have a playoff superstition when it comes to his hair ... because he got a cut and shaved off his beard in the middle of the New York Knicks' playoff run.

The actor and diehard Knicks fans sat on celebrity row at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night to watch his favorite team complete a stunning comeback victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers ... but the Knicks weren't the only ones making a comeback -- Clean Cut Chalamet is back.

Check it out ... Timmy's hair is noticeably shorter and he's shaved off his thin mustache -- a transformation for the star many online are saying makes him look much younger than his 30 years.

The women of the new "Baywatch" reboot may be bringing the heat on camera ... but behind the scenes, there's competition brewing over who's becoming the franchise's next breakout bombshell.

A source on set tells TMZ ... there's some "tension" over who's filling the Pamela Anderson lane in the modern version of the iconic series ... and the contenders are Brooks Nader and Livvy Dunne.

Brooks certainly has the edge when it comes to screen time ... because she appears in virtually every episode ... while Livvy is only featured in three episodes -- less than half the season.

Netflix viewers met a remorseful Mackenzie Shirilla in Netflix's "The Crash" ... but a former inmate says the real person -- behind bars -- is far different.

Mary Katherine Crowder -- who spent over six months locked up with Shirilla at the Ohio Reformatory for Women -- has been blowing up TikTok with claims that the convicted killer acted more like the "queen bee" of prison than someone haunted by the deadly 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and friend, Davion Flanagan.

Crowder told the NY Post that Mackenzie walked around prison like she was famous ... always glammed up and treating the facility "like a high school popularity contest."

Jack Osbourne is ripping trolls a new one after they started shaming him over his weight loss -- insisting he's not "grossly underweight" ... as they apparently dragged him for just shaving his beard and getting a "creepy mustache."

In a new TikTok clip, Jack said the backlash is insane after he spent years getting mocked for being overweight -- adding he hasn't lost any additional weight since competing on the UK reality series, "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!" 6 months ago.

Jack explained that he decided to overhaul his lifestyle after hitting 220 pounds around three years ago ... dropping down to 155 pounds at 5'8" -- which he says is perfectly healthy.

The Knicks won game 1 thanks to an insane comeback, and some diehard New York fans are already looking forward to the NBA Finals ... calling out Victor Wembanyama outside Madison Square Garden!

"We want Wemby! We want Wemby!" hundreds of fans chanted outside the World's Most Famous Arena ... a place known for postgame insanity after big Knicks wins.

The vibes were clearly sky high for the Knicks fans Tuesday night ... after mounting one of the largest comebacks in NBA Playoff history.

N.Y. trailed Cleveland by 22 points with less than 8 minutes left ... before going on a 30-8 run to force overtime.

Once in the extra period, the shellshocked Cavs were outscored 14-3, losing game 1, 115-104, in front of a star-studded crowd that included Timothee Chalamet, Lenny Kravitz, and Dustin Hoffman.

The Spurs, like the NYK, also won game 1 in overtime, beating the favored Thunder, 122-115.

Wemby was unstoppable, scoring 41 points (on 14 for 25 shooting), grabbing 24 rebounds, and blocking 3 shots.

President Donald Trump says he'd like Spencer Pratt to succeed in his Los Angeles mayoral bid ... because he's heard the candidate is a Trump loyalist, through and through.

POTUS was asked about Pratt -- a fellow reality star running for office just like DJT himself back in 2015 -- at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Wednesday morning ... and he says he'd like to see SP do well, since he's heard Pratt's a MAGA supporter.

Trump notes he doesn't know the reality star personally ... but as long as Pratt's rocking with him, he's rocking with Pratt.

Spencer did not exactly embrace the support in a heavily Democratic city, telling TMZ, "Everybody wants me to succeed because L.A. is the most important city in the country," adding, "The only support I need is from moms that wanna feel safe in Los Angeles. I'm laser focused on that."

Blake Lively's getting back out into the world now that she's agreed to a settlement in her case against Justin Baldoni ... hitting a big-time fashion event in New York City.

The actress strutted into an event for the brand Fendi in New York City Tuesday evening ... flashing a huge grin for the cameras.

BL sizzled in her outfit ... turning heads -- as she usually does -- in a tight, low-cut tank top and high-waisted jeans under a long trenchcoat.

Do we smell a new feud brewing?!

Madonna seemed to take aim at Charli xcx on social media ... saying if you're not into the groove, you're not listening to the right club classics.

It sure sounded like she was calling out some of Charli's recent comments in the caption, writing ... "If your Dance floor feels dead Maybe you’re playing the wrong music."

American actress Niki Koss was 23 years old when she first played Alexis Glenn -- the bold and rebellious daughter of a powerful film producer -- back in 2017.

Niki was on set with many greats like Bella Thorne, Charlie DePew, and Georgie Flores.

Kendra Duggar is reportedly cutting ties with her own family ... as the legal storm surrounding her and husband Joseph Duggar keeps getting uglier.

According to Us Weekly ... Kendra has stopped communicating with her parents, Paul and Christina Caldwell, while the fallout from Joseph's criminal case continues to ripple through both families.

The outlet reports the Caldwells have already moved out of their home, placed their belongings in storage and are now weighing a possible move out of state. The insider says the family has been under enormous stress ever since Joseph's arrest ... especially after Kendra allegedly cut them off.

Looks like Billy Joel's upcoming biopic is headed for "The Longest Time" in development hell -- 'cause the icon himself is coming out swinging against it!

A rep for the "Piano Man" says the filmmakers behind "Billy and Me" have known since 2021 they were never getting the green light, and still don't have the rights to his music or his story to make the movie fly.

Billy ain't exactly keeping the "Pressure" low over the John Ottman-directed flick ... the statement to Variety says he "has not authorized or supported this project in any capacity" ... warning any attempt to move forward would be "legally and professionally misguided."

WWE Superstar Danhausen is taking credit for the Cleveland Cavaliers' epic collapse against the New York Knicks ... but now he has some demands in order to keep the momentum going in the Big Apple's favor -- he wants to be right in the middle of Celebrity Row with Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner.

For those who don't know, Danhausen has a knack for cursing people ... or in this case, entire NBA franchises.

He issued a curse on the Cavs ahead of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday morning due to his love for NYC and his hate for The Miz (a big Cleveland fan) ... and fast forward to the end of Game 1, the Knicks came back from more than 20 down to win in overtime.

Things got fiery fast in Lower Manhattan Tuesday evening ... when a vehicle burst into flames and exploded just steps away from NYC's iconic Charging Bull statue.

Take a look ... wild video from the Wall Street district shows thick black smoke pouring into the sky as the car -- which appeared to be affiliated with the MTA -- sat engulfed in flames near Broadway and Stone Street.

Onlookers gathered around the chaotic scene -- many pulling out their phones to record as the fire intensified before FDNY crews arrived.

Donald Trump has become a calm man, a chill dude ... just ask Jeff Bezos.

Forget the late-night Truth Social rages, forget excoriating reporters by calling them "piggy" and "stupid," forget his relentless revenge tour, 2.0 Trump, according to Bezos, is kumbaya.

The Amazon king appeared on CNBC Wednesday and had high praise for Trump, saying he's "a more mature, more disciplined version of himself."

Trump's resorted to name-calling journalists several times in the past couple months ... even telling one reporter she's a "dumb person" only a week ago, because she dared to point out the cost of his new ballroom had skyrocketed.
