Mama June says she never saw her kids as just a means to make money ... this despite her daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson claiming her love was all about cash in the upcoming  "I Was Honey Boo Boo" Lifetime biopic.

If you haven't seen the trailer ... the movie's a biopic, but Thompson really appears in the clip -- making comments in between some of the sequences from the film.

At one point, she says "I wanted Mama, but her love was only transactional."

Ben Affleck's hot looks over the years are highly ACCOUNT-ed for!

Here is a 44-year-old version of Affleck givin' sexy scruff and side views during "The Accountant" premiere at the Chinese Theatre back in 2016 (Left).

And, nearly a decade later, Ben opted for a cool n' cozy 'fit -- but still rockin' facial scruff -- seen here at the New York screening of "The Accountant 2" earlier this week (right).

Since his Chuckie days in "Good Will Hunting," Ben's put up some stellar looks on the carpet ... and of course notoriously dropped trout in "Gone Girl" ... But, keep your eyes up on the two side-by-side face shots and answer this question:

1:49 PM PT -- Chuck Liddell's attorney Juliana Moiola tells TMZ ... "After quashing numerous false allegations against Chuck, the parties reached a divorce settlement outside of court. Chuck is a great father. He has always and will continue to put his children first. Chuck looks forward to moving on with his new fiancée, Heidi Rae, and glad this chapter of his life is behind him."

Chuck Liddell and his wife Heidi have officially finalized their divorce ... bringing a close to a longtime split.

The former MMA star and his ex-wife of more than a decade settled their divorce earlier this week, according to documents obtained by TMZ  ... almost four years after he initially filed.

According to documents, Chuck and Heidi are sharing joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children ... with the two alternating holidays every year.

4/28/25, 3 PM -- In a judgment entered on Monday ... the marital status is terminated, and Xzibit and Krista Joiner are both restored to the status of single persons. The order filed by Xzibit last week -- seeking bifurcation of the issue of marital status -- has been granted.

Xzibit wants to go back to single status ... filing to become legally divorced -- though he and his estranged wife Krista Joiner still need to come to a settlement agreement.

The rapper filed documents in Los Angeles earlier this week asking the court to bifurcate his divorce ... basically separating his marital status from the divorce proceedings regarding child and spousal support, thus allowing him to become single in the eyes of the law while proceedings drag on.

Xzibit points out the two have been separated for more than four years ... and, while he claims their trial date is scheduled for next month, he knows this may take awhile to resolve -- and, he wants to be a single man again.

Britney Spears seems ready to embrace her inner speed demon ... jumping on the back of a motorcycle in a scorching red gown -- though she's not quite up for a spin around the block just yet.

The Princess of Pop shared a couple videos to her IG Saturday -- not her usual dancing clips, but instead a couple clips of her on the back of a hog ... and, we don't mean a pig at the county fair.

Spears -- wearing a strapless red dress with sleeves pulled all the way down to her biceps -- sat atop the cycle ... first yelling out "Hi baby, here we go, ya ready???" a wide grin plastered on her face.

Rosie O'Donnell's not just pals with Lyle Menendez ... it seems she's a close confidante of him -- 'cause she says the pair talk every few days.

The former talk show host revealed how close she is with the convicted killer to Page Six in an interview published Saturday ... admitting she and Lyle chat on the phone between two and three times each week.

This comes after Rosie said the two are friends ... explaining they got in touch in 2022 because of a Netflix documentary about Lyle and Erik's crime.

Britney Spears sparked a global outcry with the #FreeBritney movement that sought to liberate her from a 13-year conservatorship.

But, since she regained autonomy, some have questioned whether total freedom has been a positive thing for Britney.

Decide for yourself as you relive her wild nights with the paparazzi, her attempts to find love, and the infamous night she was taken away in an ambulance on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

Looking back at how Britney ended up where she is today is a study in fame, family and redemption that will make you see "celebrity" in a new light.

Paris Hilton has changed a lot over the last 20 years ... going from making sex tapes and partyin' 'til the early morning, to becoming a mom and testifying before Congress.

The reality tastemaker broke onto the scene in the early 2000s ... drawing international attention when her sex tape with poker player Rick Salomon leaked in 2003.

She had her own reality show at the time -- "The Simple Life" -- which featured her friendship with Nicole Richie ... though the two had a pretty nasty falling out in '05.

In the years since, Paris has embraced a calmer lifestyle ... marrying Carter Reum in 2021 and raising her two children -- London and Phoenix.

JoJo Siwa split from her partner Kath Ebbs after her time on "Celebrity Big Brother" in the UK ... with Ebbs claiming the dumping came at the 'CBB' after-party -- even though they say JoJo asked to marry them in the past.

Ebbs -- an Australian podcaster and DJ who used they/she pronouns -- dropped a video detailing all the drama Saturday ... saying that after watching what they thought was a totally fake reality show, they've now realized that JoJo wasn't just fronting for the camera.

Ebbs says they felt secure in their relationship with the former "Dance Moms" star when she went off to film 'CBB' ... but, now they say it seems clear the relationship wasn't as strong as they thought -- especially amid rumors she and her co-contestant Chris Hughes are more than friends.

Melania Trump turned 55 Saturday, and despite years of stressful White House livin', she's still looking as vibrant as ever ... and, we've got some of her best photos for you to peruse.

The First Lady's back in the White House after a four-year hiatus ... raising her initiative Be Best - a campaign focused on the kids' wellbeing -- to huge heights since President Donald Trump's first term began in 2017.

Melania was born in Slovenia back in 1970 -- which makes her the first First Lady born outside the United States ... though before she took the office, she embarked on a very successful modeling career.

President Donald Trump drew a a ton of eyes at Pope Francis' funeral Saturday ... and, not totally for the right reasons -- 'cause he wore a bright blue suit to the event, and it outraged a large section of social media.

As you know ... POTUS and First Lady Melania Trump were in Rome Saturday to pay their respects to the late head of the Catholic Church -- sitting front and center as he was laid to rest.

While the two were completely respectful during the proceedings, many online took issue with Trump's outfit ... 'cause he wore a blue suit -- not navy blue, but a color that stood out quite a bit more against the black outfits others in the crowd donned.

Justin Bieber went from teen heartthrob and Selena Gomez’s swoon-worthy other half to a full-on headline machine -- starting with egging his neighbor’s house and spiraling into DUIs, street brawls, and some serious pap drama.

But, it hasn’t all been chaos. There’s been growth, love, and a Bieber baby too.

Walton Goggins is hosting "Saturday Night Live" next month ... and, while some have perceived it as a slight at his "The White Lotus" costar Aimee Lou Wood, TMZ has learned that's just not the case.

Here's the deal ... speculation Goggins and his onscreen GF Wood are feuding after their time on 'White Lotus' has circulated for a few weeks now -- fueled by the two not following each other on IG and a comment Goggins dropped on the recent 'SNL' clip which made fun of, in part, Wood's teeth.

While some reports saw him taking the hosting gig as another shot at her, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... conversations between Goggins and 'SNL' began long before his name was announced -- starting well before the jokes at Wood's expense.

The wait is over for Shedeur Sanders -- after going unselected in the first two days of the 2025 NFL Draft, Deion's son finally has an NFL home with the Cleveland Browns.

The former Colorado quarterback was the 144th overall pick ... making him a fifth-round selection.

Shedeur seemed relieved once his name was called ... which is understandable, considering many thought he'd be off the board in the first.

Trojan condoms might stop sperm in its tracks ... but, Trojan students have got some pretty strong swimmers, it seems -- 'cause a USC student won the first-ever sperm race.

The much-anticipated battle for L.A. spunk supremacy went down in DTLA Friday night ... with Tristan from USC taking on Asher from UCLA -- and, we caught the whole darn thing on film, with the event showing just how fast their little swimmers were motoring in real time.

Check it out, the race starts off pretty even -- Tristan and Asher's boys making their way through the channel with ease ... until one of Tristan's swimmers turns into the Usain Bolt of you know what, coming from behind to tear into the lead.

Virginia Giuffre was found dead by suicide on Friday -- years after she claimed she would never kill herself.

Giuffre -- who was an outspoken whistleblower who accused the late Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew of sexual abuse -- made the chilling claim in a resurfaced tweet from 2019.

She wrote ... "I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal. ... If something happens to me – in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted [sic]."
