Ex-NBA player Joe Smith's wife says their issues run much deeper than her OnlyFans career ... admitting they've also struggled with finances, mental health and infidelity over the years -- but she's confident she won't have to hire a divorce lawyer anytime soon.

Kisha Chavis joined Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live" to address the now-viral video of the former No. 1-overall pick finding out about her NSFW side hustle ... and she admits it's just the tip of the iceberg.

As it turns out, the two have been together for nearly 13 years -- Kisha says she was an established singer overseas before getting with Joe ... and she thought their pairing had all the makings of a power couple, but it didn't go as planned.

Kisha explains they fell on hard times -- Joe was out of the league ... and while she created several new money-making opportunities, the COVID-19 pandemic left a major impact on their cash flow.

Kisha believes Joe fell into a depression after going from a top pick in the NBA to being jobless ... and instead of taking matters into his own hands and creating a second career for himself, he did nothing.

As a result, she resorted to what she had to do -- claiming it was a decision she made to improve their lives.

"I'm just sorry that he can't understand that ... it wasn't a selfish decision," Kisha says. "It was a decision that I made. I made an executive decision when my man wasn't taking the lead. I really love Joe."

Kisha claims she's had her account for more than a year ... and Joe didn't find out about it until a "friend that he's been entertaining" brought it to his attention.

She also says Joe got so pissed after finding out about it, he's currently living elsewhere.

Despite all their issues, Kisha makes it clear she wants to work on their relationship ... and believes he will have a change of heart.

Matthew Perry was out and about the day before he died -- doing lunch with a woman, and looked to be in good spirits ... true to what people close to him have told us about his final weeks.

TMZ obtained these photos of the "Friends" star dining out Friday afternoon at the Hotel Bel-Air ... where he shared a table with a mystery brunette.

Folks there say Matthew and his guest were seated at the table for over an hour and left together.

In the photos, Matthew is chatting her up and we're told the actor was so engaged in conversation with her, he barely touched his drink or food.

The photos were snapped Oct. 27 around 2:30 PM ... and, sadly, by the following afternoon, Matthew was dead. As we first reported, his assistant called 911 around 4 PM after finding the actor unresponsive in his hot tub.

As we first reported ... LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division is investigating the death, not because foul play is suspected, but because it's such a high-profile case.

People close to Matthew have told us "he was never happier" than he'd been recently -- full of energy, and ready to jump back into work ... having committed to act in a movie, and developing TV series ideas.

No word on who the woman in the photos is, but she might very well have been the last person to break bread with Matthew.

Diddy says his version of Heath Ledger's Joker was so good last year Warner Bros. sent him a cease and desist from doing the look in the future.

If you recall, Diddy masqueraded around L.A. dressed as Batman's arch nemesis during Halloween 2022 and fooled a lot of people in the process who didn't even realize it was Diddy ... just ask Tyler, The Creator and "Power" actor Michael J. Ferguson.

Diddy told Jimmy Kimmel WB's legal team determined his full-blown makeup infringed on The Joker's copyright ... but for Halloween 2023, he's still planning on making them earn their retainer with another take on one of their properties.

Heath posthumously won an Oscar for his take on Mr J. and Diddy did him justice ... staying in character the whole night.

Kim Kardashian's little ones made a nice chunk of change for their work on the new "Paw Patrol" flick -- cashing in 5 figures, according to North and Saint's contracts.

For those unaware, 10-year-old North and 7-year-old Saint landed spots along with their mama in last month's children's movie, "Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie" -- and the docs, obtained by TMZ, reveal the sweet paycheck they scored for the whole thing.

According to the docs, North -- who ended up playing the role of Mini, the Pomeranian Junior Patroller -- scored $5,000 per recording session, and she was guaranteed 4 of those ... adding up to $20k.

Saint was given the same rate -- but only guaranteed 2 recording sessions for his work as Meteor Max, meaning he walked away with at least $10k. Not bad!

Fans of the furry flick know Kim reprised her role as Delores the poodle ... so its pretty likely she gave her kiddos a bit of help securing their first voice-acting role.

Matthew Perry's death is being investigated by LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division, which may come as a surprise to some because foul play is NOT suspected at this point ... but cops say it's just standard procedure for high-profile cases.

LAPD tells TMZ ... the Robbery Homicide Division is looking to make sure there is nothing nefarious involved in Matthew's death, and it's normal for RHD to take the lead on high-profile cases because RHD has the experience and manpower necessary.

As we first reported, there is NO evidence of foul play in Matthew's death ... which is why some folks were left scratching their heads when Robbery Homicide Division brass talked to the media about MP's death.

Remember ... the "Friends" star was found unresponsive in his jacuzzi Saturday at his home in the Pacific Palisades, after playing pickleball for a few hours earlier in the day at Riviera Country Club.

Law enforcement searched Matthew's home and did not find any illicit drugs -- he's been open about struggles with substance abuse in the past -- and the L.A. County Coroner has yet to determine an official cause of death, with toxicology results expected to take at least 6 weeks.

LAPD says the official cause of death will be determined by the autopsy results ... and if there is something nefarious that comes back, RHD will take the reins.

Over the years, LAPD's RHD has investigated some of the most famous cases in the city ... including the Michael Jackson death, which was ultimately ruled a homicide.

Halloween's a very popular day in the TMZ office, and staffers pulled out all the stops this year ... dressing as some of your favorite celebs and pop culture moments.

We had Barbenheimer, Kendall Jenner plugging 818 Tequila with Bad Bunny, Ariana Grande and Spongebob (aka, her new boyfriend, Ethan Slater), and Britney Spears with her concerning dance companion -- a knife.

Taylor Swift during her "Eras" tour was also another highlight ... as was her new romance with NFL star Travis Kelce.

Who can forget pregnant Rihanna performing at the Super Bowl halftime show surrounded by her backup dancers and adoring fans?

Another highlight was Junkrat, one of the heroes in Overwatch ...

Matthew Perry's body wasn't in his hot tub for very long before he was found dead from an apparent drowning ... which adds a whole new layer to his tragic death.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Matthew's body was not waterlogged when first responders arrived at his Pacific Palisades home and declared him dead at the scene.

Matthew was alone when he died -- he was home after playing pickleball earlier in the day Saturday at Riviera Country Club -- and it's fair to wonder what the outcome would have been if someone else was around, or if his assistant had gotten to his house sooner.

Remember ... Matthew got home from the country club and sent his assistant on an errand, and when the assistant returned home Matthew was unresponsive in the jacuzzi and the assistant called 911.

As we first reported, a search of MP's home did not turn up any illegal drugs ... but there were Rx drugs found in the house, including anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs.

Our sources say law enforcement also found a COPD drug in the house. COPD is short for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease ... and that drug is often used for people who have emphysema or chronic bronchitis.

Matthew was a smoker during his life, and now we're told law enforcement found Nicorette patches and Nicorette gum in the home ... so it seems Matthew was serious about quitting cigarettes and reclaiming his health.

The L.A. County Coroner has yet to determine an official cause of death. The toxicology results will take at least 6 weeks.

A$AP Rocky was more than willing to chat it up with TMZ Hip Hop during his daily workout, and although his workout is jogging at a swift pace ... he invited us to come along -- and, umm, we did our best!!! 😂

The superstar rapper ran our photog straight outta her shoes as he was jogging Monday afternoon in WeHo .... and belted out a hearty laugh when we asked him about Rihanna's desire to have a couple more kids.

Rocky and Rihanna just welcomed their 2nd child, Riot Rose, this past August and have their hands full ... juggling parenthood and their long-delayed projects!!!

Rocky tells us he's currently working on his next album, "Don't Be Dumb," in real-time and fans will be on the edge of their seats wondering if he'll respond to Drake's shots from his "For All the Dogs" album.

Champagne Papi referred to his sexy time with RiRi as "average," and made it clear he didn't envy Rocky's current situation.

He didn't have much to add to that topic, but did recommend the perfect running shoes for our photog. Watch the clip ... we should definitely take the suggestion. 😉

Halloween is huge in Hollywood ... and celebs from all corners of the industry are showing off their costumes on social media ... setting the bar super high.

Mariah Carey's slaying as Jessica Rabbit ... Kylie and Kendall Jenner are getting creative as Sugar and Spice ... and Barbie Ferreira's getting in the spirit as a ghoul nurse.

Ariana Grande turned back the clock to 1995, dressing up as Elizabeth Berkley's character in "Showgirls" ... with an assist from her friend, Elizabeth Gillies.

Elvira Mistress of the Dark is always a popular -- and sexy Halloween pick -- and this year we've got Lexy Panterra tipping her cap to the cult horror film.

The Kardashians always go all out for All Hallows Eve ... and this year Kim and North West dressed up as Alicia Silverstone and Stacey Dash in "Clueless" ... which came out way before North was born. As if!!!

Over the weekend, stars hit up parties as Paris Hilton did her best Katy Perry impression and Demi Lovato went all Disney princess, and Kate Beckinsale revived Barbarella.

Jennifer Hudson used her musical chops to completely transform into Missy Elliott for Halloween, and it was an excellent choice ... according to the costume's inspiration!!!

On Tuesday, Missy gave J-Hud the fire emoji stamp of approval for honoring her most iconic look during the Halloween edition of her talk show.

The costume pays homage to Missy's award-winning "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" music video ... the 1997 visual directed by Hype Williams that went on to become a game-changer in hip hop.

J-Hud went on to celebrate the culture's 50th anniversary and additionally praised Missy for being the first female rapper inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ... an honor that's officially happening this week!!!

"The Challenge" star Nelson Thomas has officially been charged with DWI for his near-fatal car crash from earlier this year.

Thomas was hit with the misdemeanor charge at the end of September in Texas, according to docs obtained by TMZ ... and officers said he had "bloodshot, glassy eyes" as he explained to them that another car had swerved in front of him before the crash.

The docs say Thomas told cops he "only had 2-3 mixed alcoholic drinks," but officers claimed Thomas had a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath" while being treated for injuries at the hospital.

Cops say a blood test done while at the hospital came back with a BAC of .178 -- which kicked up his charge to Class A misdemeanor.

As we reported, Minnesota Vikings receiver K.J. Osborn and a few others helped pull Thomas out of the fiery vehicle back in March while driving by in an Uber, likely saving his life. Thomas later thanked K.J. for the heroic assist.

He also shared some pics of himself from the hospital, showing gnarly cuts and burns on his body ... and his GoFundMe was met with a ton of love and cash from fans and fellow reality TV stars like Corey Lay, Mark Long, and Tori Deal.

The one and only Lamborghini Leonardo DiCaprio drove in the 2013 hit movie, "The Wolf of Wall Street," is goin' up for sale ... and it could be yours -- if you have a ton of dough to spend.

The 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary ride is joining Bonhams|Cars' lineup for the 'On the Grid: The Abu Dhabi Auction' next month ... being shown off for the first time since its big screen debut.

It's being offered at an estimate of $1.5 million - $2 million ... and is in "as-filmed" condition, which means it's a bit beat up ... but that wear and tear has been preserved for a decade --  acting as a time capsule for Martin Scorsese's film.

It's got scissor doors and has a sleek finish on it -- the Hero Car is just 1 of 658 rides ever produced in the 25th-anniversary lineup.

Fans will have a hard time forgetting Leo's ride in the movie ... most notably, it's featured in the scene when the actor's character, Jordan Belfort, went a little overboard with the quaaludes.

We should note -- production also rented a second Lambo during filming to serve as a backup car -- but that one was only on screen for a few seconds ... so the one up for sale is the real deal.

The lucky buyer will also get one of four of the film's most iconic costumes )featured in the scene where Dicaprio's character climbs out of the car), a director's chair and clapboard -- both signed by Scorsese, Leo, and Margot Robbie -- a couple of crew hoodies and DVDs of the movie, and letters of authenticity.

A public hearing on Capitol Hill over continued funding for Israel was repeatedly interrupted by pro-Palestine protesters ... who took turns standing up and shouting over Sec. of State Antony Blinken.

Blinken was trying to plead his case for further financial aid for Israel and Ukraine ... and the former was the main focus for the demonstrators, who called for a ceasefire in the Middle East and painted their hands and arms red like blood.

Check it out ... as Blinken tried getting his points out at the microphone, several different people in the gallery behind him kept standing up and calling Israel's retaliation in Gaza a "genocide."

It seems the outbursts might've been coordinated ... as there were breaks in between each interruption.

All the while ... there were a handful of folks in the crowd who had their hands raised, covered in the fake blood. Like we said, anytime someone got out of their seat and raised their voice, they were escorted out by law enforcement officials.

It speaks to the polarization this issue has caused here in the States -- there've been countless pro-Palestine protests all throughout the country since the conflict started.

Selena Gomez is under attack for her comments about the conflict between Israel and Palestine ... with many accusing her of not doing all she can to help those in need.

ICYMI, the singer spoke out Monday about the terrors in the Middle East, condemning torture and murder and saying, "That's what makes me sick. I wish I could change the world. But a post won't."

Her words were met with a bunch of hate online -- one person called her out for having "430 MILLION followers" but claiming her "platform is useless," and another wrote, "Only Selena Gomez would find a way to make a genocide about herself."

The "Only Murders in the Building" star also came under fire for a stark difference between her stance on the Israel-Hamas attacks and her views about Russia's attacks on Ukraine, which she spoke out about last year -- in which she said she was donating to the cause.

As we reported, other celebs have gotten called out for their comments about the ongoing conflict -- including former adult film star Mia Khalifa, who lost her gig with Playboy after defending Hamas terrorists.

The entire Hadid family was also getting hundreds of death threats, with Bella's phone number getting leaked ... remember, her sister, Gigi, was met with hate after voicing her pro-Palestinian opinions about the war.

The English Ice Hockey Association is changing its rules following the tragic death of Adam Johnson ... now making it mandatory for players to wear neck guards starting in January.

The org. announced the decision Monday, saying in a statement, "the safety of our players must take precedence above all else."

"We are firmly committed to our obligation to exhaust every possible means to ensure that a tragic incident of this nature never befalls our sport again," the EIHA said.

The new mandate comes roughly 48 hours after Johnson died following injuries he suffered when he was slashed in the throat by a skate during an on-ice collision.

EIHA officials initially said the incident was "a freak accident" ... though South Yorkshire Police said Sunday they are investigating the matter.

Johnson was just 29 years old.

While neck guards will still be optional for the remainder of '23 ... the EIHA said it's making a "strong recommendation" that players wear them while skating on the ice.

It added that the mandatory rule change would have been implemented immediately if not for anticipated supply issues.

"It is unacceptable for any player to lose their life while playing sport," the EIHA said. "Our responsibility is not only to avert the recurrence of such a heart-breaking accident, but also to pre-emptively address other foreseeable incidents in the future."

EIHA officials said more rule changes could be coming down in the near future ... saying in its statement, "We bear both a legal and a moral obligation to respond in a measured and pragmatic way."

Donna D'Errico is clapping back at "hater women" for going to extreme lengths to report her racy snaps ... by re-uploading the same images that got her shadow-banned on Instagram.

"Here's another photo that had to be removed in order to lift the shadow ban on my account after a group of women haters went through my account reporting all my posts," the ex-Playboy model defiantly captioned the image, which by all means, was just as risqué as you would expect.

Think tiny lacy black bra, black corset, knee-high black boots -- all while straddling a pumpkin to celebrate Halloween, of course.

The "Baywatch" star added there was "nothing wrong with these photos" ... and took things one step further by addressing the trolls who had an issue with them in the first place.

"Hater women: Feel better about yourselves. Build up other women. In doing so, you can shine, too," she wrote. If they still didn't get the message, Dona had one final message for them... "I guess you can simply kiss my ass."

This isn't Donna's first rodeo in calling out online warriors lurking in the comments of her pictures. On Sunday, she explained she had to remove another video of herself in a blue bikini that didn't sit well with others online.

"Using technology to bully is still, in fact, bullying. And Donna doesn't get bullied," she declared while re-sharing the clip. One thing's for sure ... you're not gonna mess with Donna!!!
