Martha Stewart is proving age ain't nothin' but a number ... 'cause the 81-year-old entrepreneur is gracing the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue this year -- making her the oldest model to ever get the honor!!

S.I. revealed the special cover on Monday ... showing the best-selling author and TV personality wearing a white one-piece halter bathing suit in the Dominican Republic.

Stewart explained her decision to pose for the famous mag ... saying, "When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I thought, 'Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person I think ever on a cover of Sports Illustrated,'" Stewart said.

"And I don’t think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic."

Stewart -- who turns 82 in August -- added she wanted to do the SI Swimsuit issue to prove you can look and feel good at any age.

"Age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or in terms of success, but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age," Martha said.

Stewart was one of four women picked to appear on the cover -- Megan Fox, Kim Petras and SI Swimsuit veteran Brooks Nader also got the nod.

FYI, this isn't Stewart's first modeling gig ... she modeled back in her teenage years for several companies, including Chanel.

A fisherman in Hawaii just had a real-life "Jaws" moment ... after a massive shark attacked him while kayaking in the ocean, and the entire death-defying encounter was caught on video!

It all happened on Friday, May 12 ... Scott Haraguchi was out fishing near the Kualoa shore in Honolulu, Hawaii. After catching a fish, he forgot to turn off his GoPro ... and it's a good thing he did.

Just a few minutes later, everything seems normal until all of a sudden, a tiger shark attacked his kayak, biting the boat for about 2 seconds, as Haraguchi screamed in fear.

Thankfully, Scott was able to kick the shark off.

Haraguchi, of course, was freaked out, and went on to warn nearby fishermen ... telling KITV he initially thought it was a turtle.

"I heard a whooshing sound that sounded like a boat heading towards me without the motor and I looked up and I saw this big brown thing," Haraguchi said.

"My brain thought it was a turtle but then I got slammed by it and realized that it was a tiger shark."

Haraguchi also said he's lucky to be alive and is concerned about the several shark sightings in the area, including a 20-foot shark the day after his incident.

"I realize that life is short, time is short on Earth, so make the most of it."

Stay safe!! 🦈

Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny's relationship just hit a new milestone -- they hit up a big birthday event together, and they did so ... in matching outfits, no less.

The lovebirds strolled into Giorgio Baldi Sunday night in Santa Monica, and both of them just happened to pull head-to-toe black leather out of their closets. Hell of a coincidence, right?!?

We're told they were there for a birthday bash for Travis Bennett -- AKA Yung Taco -- and Tyler, The Creator was also in the building.

When all 3 left the restaurant, they went next door to Shorebar ... with Tyler carrying a cake for Travis with what appears to be some clever candle placement!

Kendall, BB, and Tyler spent a good chunk of time next door before calling it a night -- and it looks like the place was packed with celebs, like Winnie Harlow and her BF Kyle Kuzma, as well as Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire.

As you know, KJ and BB have been spending a ton of time together ... from gettin' close at Coachella to riding horses, they've been checking off all the relationship clichés as of late.

Anne Heche was laid to rest over the weekend on Mother's Day, in a special yet emotional ceremony for those who loved her most ... TMZ  has learned.

A rep for Anne tells TMZ … Heche was given her final resting place Sunday afternoon at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery - Cathedral Mausoleum, a location reserved for some of the biggest names in showbiz.

The rep says, "She loved everyone so passionately and deeply and her children, her legacy, thank everyone for their support and love through this difficult time and are grateful to be able to honor their mother, [Sunday] on Mother’s Day."

AH was cremated, and our sources say her crypt is across from Chris Cornell and Johnny Ramone and it is next to Mickey Rooney -- a spot with a beautiful view of the lake located within the cemetery's Garden of Legends.

As we reported, Anne died last August after she was involved in a horrendous car crash. You'll recall, her car slammed into an L.A. home and caught the house on fire.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck certainly made the most of Mother's Day ...  spending time with both their moms for one big familial affair.

J Lo's mama, Guadalupe Rodríguez, and Ben's mom, Christopher Anne Boldt, joined the A-list couple for the Sunday Funday in Los Angeles.

J Lo's twins Emme and Max, as well as Ben's daughter, Seraphina, were also on hand to celebrate the moms -- showing everyone is all still getting along just fine.

BA's son Samuel and oldest daughter Violet appeared to be missing from the family function ... perhaps, spending time with their mother, Jennifer Garner.

Of course, the fun-filled day comes on the heels of new movie releases from both Ben and Jen ... so, even more of a reason to celebrate. J Lo's flick "The Mother" is getting plenty of buzz on Netflix.

As we reported, Ben's flick "Hypnotic" didn't do as well in theaters ... raking in just $2.3 million from ticket sales.

Elon Musk is having the time of his life, dancing the night away in a huge crowd in Mexico for a huge music festival -- and it looks like SpaceX, Twitter and Tesla are officially on the back burner!!!

One of the world's richest men showed off a different side of himself in Cabo San Lucas Saturday night, jamming out with his hands up to some Rüfüs Du Sol with a swarm of other ravers around him.

Elon was feelin' the music at Sundream Baja, BTW -- a 2-weekend long festival, similar to Coachella, just outside San Jose Del Cabo.

Sure, his moves might need some work, but hey ... the guy's just not known for dancing.

Kinda makes sense he headed down to Mexico for some R&R ... Elon just named former NBCUniversal advertising exec Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter last week, following months of backlash from users who weren't cool with how he was running things.

Several Cleveland Guardians fans got into a crazy brawl at a game over the weekend ... and things got so wild during the melee, a man actually appeared to hit a woman.

The fight happened at some point during the Guards vs. Angels tilt on Saturday at Progressive Field ... when some fans got into a tiff with a man who was sitting in a row in front of them.

In video from the scene, you can see that during their argument ... a woman in a Guardians jersey seemed to spit at the guy.

That apparently set the man off -- 'cause the footage shows he then took two swipes at the woman's face ... before the guy holding nachos tried to break things up with some punches.

The two were seen trading blows for several moments ... before they took things to the ground. More punches then ensued.

It's unclear how things were ultimately broken up and if any arrests were made -- we reached out to cops for comment, but so far, no word back yet.

As for the game, the Guardians ended up beating L.A., 8-6, despite their fans' wild actions in the stands.

Netflix is lookin' to cash in on its hit dating show, "Love Is Blind" by making a move to lock up rights to sell new products branded with a clever twist.

According to docs obtained by TMZ, Netflix is requesting the rights to sell items using the words "Love Is Wine." Cheeky and we can totally see future 'LIB' watch parties buying into it.

The streaming company's trademark application says it wants to slap the phrase on things like cake molds, glassware, napkin holders, plates, tea infusers, flasks, and several types of drinking glasses.

It's also looking to use it on things like wines and spirits, cocktail mixes, and even prepared cocktails. Given the fun name, this stuff could sell like hotcakes.

Netflix appears to be going all in on the 'LIB' craze ... also looking to secure the rights to brand bakery goods, snacks, frozen treats, pizza kits, chips, and salads. There's even mention of salt -- yes, just simple salt.

Of course, there's no doubt as to why it's full steam ahead on an idea like this -- the record-breaking series recently wrapped its fourth season and has even produced versions of the show in places like Japan and Brazil, with a handful of other locations in the works.

As we reported, millions of fans were waiting to tune into the live reunion special last month, but it never happened. Everyone ended up having to stream a prerecorded version the next day after technical glitches left fans looking at error codes on their TVs.

It's Mother's Day, and if one group of people that know how to give it up for their Mama Bears -- it's Hollywood's rich and famous ... which they certainly did this year.

The biggest stars made sure to heap on tons of love/praise for their moms Sunday, with tribute posts going up left and right on social media. Some are mothers themselves, others were shouting out their baby mamas ... but almost everyone was expressing gratitude.

Some notable posts ... Kim Zolciak, who's going through a divorce, posed with 2 of her kids; Usher snapped something with his mom; Justin Timberlake gave Jessica Biel her flowers; Travis Barker lauded Kourtney Kardashian; and Alec Baldwin shared his own mom memories.

There were other sweet snaps as well ... shared by the likes of Simu Liu, Patrick Mahomes, Rebel Wilson, Priyanka Chopra, Kylie Jenner, J Lo, Bethenny Frankel and others.

BTW, while there are certainly a lot of moms who give birth to celebs ... there are probably just as many who are famous themselves. As it goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Some of our fave notable mommies ... Teresa Giudice, Serena Williams, Kim K, Meghan Markle, Chrissy Teigen, Heidi Klum, Cardi B, Eva Longoria, Kris Jenner, Gabrielle Union, Kate Hudson, Beyonce, Reese Witherspoon, Angela White, Lisa Bonet ... just to name a few.

Doyle Brunson, best known as "The Godfather of Poker" and one of the most dominant figures in the game, has died.

Brunson passed away Sunday, according to his agent, Brian Balsbaugh. His cause of death was not disclosed.

Balsbaugh posted a statement to Twitter from Brunson's family ... "It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of our father, Doyle Brunson. He was a beloved Christian man, husband, father and grandfather."

The message continued, "We’ll have more to say over the coming days as we honor his legacy. Please keep Doyle and our family in your prayers. May he rest in peace."

Brunson was affectionately named 'Texas Dolly' after the press misinterpreted a similar nickname, but the label stuck. With his unique moniker, Brunson won 10 World Series of Poker tournaments, second only to Phil Hellmuth's 16 victories.

The Texas-born, cards competing icon also secured back-to-back world championships -- in 1976 and 1977 -- and was later inducted into the 1988 Poker Hall of Fame.

Brunson was the first player to ever win $1 million in poker tournaments, earning him the “Godfather” title. He also penned a popular book called, "Super System," which detailed poker strategies and was instrumental in luring people to the game.

At his last poker championship in 2016, Brunson came in sixth, but his poor performance did not stain his reputation as arguably the best player ever.

His influence even touched those beyond the poker world. Actor James Woods tweeted in part, "This one is a heartbreaker. Doyle Brunson, the greatest poker player who ever lived, has cashed in his chips. A gentleman and a genuine legend."

Brunson was 89.

If Conor McGregor would ever throw down in a ring without gloves ... BKFC star Houston Alexander tells TMZ Sports the dude would be a problem!!!

Alexander -- a former UFC and Bellator fighter who's been brawling professionally without mitts since 2021 -- says Conor is so skilled with his hands ... he thinks there'd be no issues for The Notorious if he chose to eventually go from the UFC to the BKFC.

Of course, the topic came up because Conor sure appeared to be interested in making the switch after watching Mike Perry's BKFC fight against Luke Rockhold back on April 30.

You'll recall, McGregor stepped into the ring following the tilt ... and he seemed to be down to fight Perry without mitts at a future date.

Alexander clearly believes it'd be a great fight despite Conor's inexperience without gloves ... something that seems to be quite the compliment, considering Alexander doesn't feel that way about most MMA guys.

"If you've got MMA guys who just concentrate on just kicking or jiu-jitsu, please don't get in this type of sport," Alexander told us. "Because it's going to expose your boxing and you're going to get hurt."

As for Alexander's own fighting career ... the 51-year-old is still going strong -- he's got another big BKFC fight on May 19 against Jeremy Smith -- and he tells us he has absolutely zero desire to retire anytime soon.

Giving Lady Gaga her flowers can sometimes be a dangerous proposition ... just ask the guy who tried dropping off some blossoms at her Malibu home.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... cops rushed to Lady Gaga's place Thursday night after her security called police to report a man on the property.

We're told the singer's security detained the man ... and when police arrived, he told cops he was just dropping off flowers.

The guy, we're told, only made it to the base of Lady Gaga's driveway before he was stopped ... and cops told him it wasn't a good idea to try and give Gaga anything.

It's kind of alarming ... we're told Lady Gaga's security told police they have seen the same man on her property before, claiming he often drops off little gifts for her. We're told he was not arrested over the flower incident.

German singer Natalie Horler was 23 years old when her German dance group's, Cascada, hit song "Everytime We Touch" was released back in 2005. The song's techno and dance-pop vibes allowed for much success and landed itself on the Billboard charts.

Other popular songs amongst Horler and the group include "Evacuate the Dancefloor" and "What Hurts the Most," which was originally sung by country singer Mark Wills and soon after by the country group Rascal Flatts.

"Cause every time we touch/I get this feeling/And every time we kiss I swear I could fly!"

Matty Healy is meeting the parents in Taylor Swift's world -- or at least one of them, anyway ... and that would be her father, who seems to be taking a liking to the young man.

The 1975 singer was spotted by several fans Saturday night during TS' Philadelphia stop, where he was seen taking in the view from a box seat out in the stands ... standing next to none other than Scott Swift, who was also watching his daughter and jamming out.

There are several videos and photos of them circulating on social media -- including some where they're seated ... and their faces can be seen in full view. At one point in one of these clips, you can see Scott lean in and say something to Matty. They look comfortable.

Another interesting person who was in the box with both of them ... Matty's label head, Jamie Oborne, who founded Dirty Hit -- to which MH's band, The 1975, is signed.

The 3 of them were actually seen roaming the stadium floor at one point too -- so, no doubt they were rolling together. BTW, Matty and Scott may have also been at Taylor's concert on Friday ... there are photos showing them in the same box, but in different outfits.

It's interesting ... a lot of fans saw Matty and Scott in the open, and they certainly weren't trying to lay low. Frankly, their box seats were just above a crap ton of normies below.

So, what can we make of this??? On its face ... it would seem to mean Taylor/Matty aren't hiding the fact they're seeing each other. Not just that, but they're obviously close if Matty's getting face time with her family this soon ... although, he may have already met them.

Fact is, Matty's known Taylor for years now ... and they've been painted as close friends. It's possible Matty's already met Taylor's mom and dad -- still though, it's a big development.

Pretty eventful weekend for Swifties. Not only did they get to see their idol perform some heroics on behalf of a fan watching the show ... but they got some new love life deets too.

Time will tell if Matty continues to follow Taylor on the road ... she's got a lot of dates left.

Ben Affleck's been having a rough go at the movies lately -- especially with his latest flick completely bombing in theaters ... whereas his wife is thriving in the streaming world.

The actor's latest offering, "Hypnotic," flailed miserably at the box office this weekend ... raking in just $2.3 million from the 2,100 or so theaters it was playing in. The Robert Rodriguez-directed sci-fi thriller wasn't released by a major studio -- two independent production companies are behind it ... and BA's the marquee talent by a mile as far as cast.

The worst part is that Ben's film reportedly cost around $65 mil to make ... so, yeah, it's coming in at a huge loss. Plus, the reviews stink. Now, his other recent film, "Air," did much better in theaters (around $85M worldwide so far) -- but that one reportedly cost about $90M to produce ... meaning it's just barely breaking even, although it fared better with critics.

Bottom line ... Ben hasn't been cleaning up in ticket sales, but Jennifer Lopez is killing it with at-home viewers. Her new movie, "The Mother," is apparently #1 on Netflix in several countries right now -- and her other recent flick, "Shotgun Wedding" did well for Amazon too.

As far as substance, both of J Lo's movies have gotten very meh reviews -- especially 'SW.' And while her flicks are cranking out good numbers for the streaming services they're released on ... it's hard to gauge what that actually translates to for a bottom line.

Streaming companies tend to keep that data to themselves ... so there's no telling if any given movie actually converts to more subscribers -- which is how they make money.

The takeaway ... it's harder to turn a profit in theaters with original flicks not tied to existing IP, and on the flip side -- it's also hard to tell if streaming success means anything. However, since there's a better spin on the latter, Ben might wanna reconsider his approach.

Colton Underwood just tied the knot with his boyfriend of about 2 years -- and it looks like they did it in beautiful wine country.

The former 'Bachelor' star -- who came out as gay in 2021 -- married political strategist Jordan C. Brown Saturday at the Carneros Resort and Spa in Napa Valley ... with the nuptials going down in front of about 200 guests, according to People Mag.

On the day of, Colton and Jordan hosted a disco-themed pool party as part of their reception -- which CU revealed to People as well. Both grooms were rocking Tom Ford suits.

The actual venue/setting of the wedding was pretty stunning -- it was outdoors and surrounded by greenery, wither their altar overlooking a vineyard. Colton says, "We wanted to break some of the traditional norms of what a ceremony and a wedding look like."

He also acknowledged the fact that their guests might not have seen two men say "I do" before -- adding, "And for the entire weekend we recognize that a lot of people attending, both of our families and some of our friends, this will be their first queer wedding."

Ever since Colton's momentous 'GMA' interview ... he and Jordan have been tied at the hip, vacationing together and posting tons of loving photos documenting their relationship.

Prior to this ... Colton had gone through 3 different 'Bachelor' shows -- and his virginity was the focal point of each season he was featured on, which resulted in a lot of ups and downs.
