Diddy's lawyers and prosecutors are making headway on putting together a jury pool ... but, it's slow going -- 'cause there are so many landmines that are getting people tossed.

The second day of jury selection is proceeding in a Manhattan federal courthouse Tuesday ... and, while some people are making it through to the next round of jury selection, many more have been excused for cause.

Juror 149 -- one of many potential jurors who have been questioned to begin this week -- told the judge his son was beaten up and robbed while at George Washington University.

A$AP Rocky's whirlwind Met Gala hosting duties wouldn't have been possible had he been found guilty at his shooting trial ... a moment that's affected his music career -- but boosted his filmography!!!

While speaking to Variety, Rocky spoke out on how the attempted murder allegations levied by his ex-associate A$AP Relli were both “gut-wrenching and nerve-racking," but he was able to channel his emotions through his "Yung Felon" character in Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest" film.

The trailer was released to match Met Gala's energy ... Rocky says portraying an inmate allowed him "to act like a piece of s*** who was going away for a long time but didn’t realize the consequences, because in real life, I knew exactly what the consequences felt like."

Can you guess which hunky star put his hot bod on full display in this eye-popping photo? We've got you covered with a few clues, but then it's on you to bring him back to shore!

The model -- who lives in New York City -- took some time off from shooting and shared this lazy paddle-boarding photo on his IG page.

Lovin' the lake life, the hottie with a body -- in his early 30s -- has collab'd with big names in the fashion industry like Vera Wang, Diesel and Guess.

Bebe Rexha clapped back at Azealia Banks and other Met Gala haters, revealing she recently went through a pregnancy loss ... and urging people to think twice before tearing someone down over a red carpet look.

It all kicked off with Azealia, who -- while not at the Met -- took it upon herself to roast celebs from the comfort of her couch Monday night.

And she went in hard on Bebe ... "Sis gives me - hormonal birth control implant or something. It’s giving implanon/nuvaring she needs removed or depo shot that needs to stop happening (I’m not even tryna play her)."

Kanye West and Piers Morgan's latest interview came to a screeching halt -- and both guys have totally conflicting reports on what went wrong!!!

Ye and his new streaming buddy Sneako were live Tuesday with Piers from the same Mallorca, Spain mansion where they've been releasing new and old music ... when the conversation took a turn.

Ye can be seen telling Piers that he'll have to live with the response to the questions for the time being, before yanking out his earpiece within the early moments of the interview.

It's been three years since Kayla Nicole and Travis Kelce split for good, ending their on-again, off-again relationship ... and Nicole is letting the world know she's over still being called his ex -- saying she wants out of his shadow!

Nicole swung by the "Second Wind Podcast," when former track and field champ Marion Jones asked Nicole for her thoughts on the media's portrayal of her since the breakup with the future Hall of Famer.

The 33-year-old responded, saying it's annoying to go into an interview and talk passionately, only for the headline to be something regarding her split with Trav.

Rihanna says when the sun shines, we shine together ... but, when it rains, it's better to stay far apart -- 'cause the singer-songwriter took an umbrella to the face in stormy weather!

The singer-songwriter was out in New York City before the Met Gala on Monday ... and, while marching into the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan, she came up behind a man holding his own umbrella.

Check out the clip ... the man turns and his umbrella comes under RiRi's own -- which she's holding herself -- and appears to smack her right in the cheek.

Diddy's former employee Rodney Jones will have to refile his lawsuit against Cuba Gooding Jr. and Justin Combs if he wants to pursue legal action ... because the case has been dismissed due to failure to serve them papers.

The case was dismissed Tuesday morning ... with the court pointing to Jones' attorney Tyrone Blackburn's inability to effectively serve the two stars as the main reasons for the dismissal without prejudice.

According to the docs, Blackburn waited until the service deadline was imminent before making any meaningful efforts to serve them ... and failed to show any good reason for failing to get it done. Jones' lawsuit was filed back in February 2024.

Kylie Jenner had a toe-tal post-Met Gala disaster -- stuck in her stilettos because she literally glued her feet in ... on designer Maximilian Davis’ advice.

It was a sole-crushing scene on her IG Stories -- Kylie zoomed in on her flawless pedicure, which was dangerously close to destruction as her team frantically tried to pry her feet free.

With glue sealing her skin to the shoes, Kylie’s feet looked straight-up plastered into those heels -- and yep, she even let out an "Ow!" at one point, just to drive home how much of a pain fashion really can be.

Jay-Z has a new beef with his Jane Doe accuser -- even though she's dropped her lawsuit, he says she's on social media bragging she stands by her allegation he raped her.

Jay just filed an amendment to the defamation suit he filed against her and her attorney, Tony Buzbee. In the new docs, he calls out a TikTok she allegedly posted last month featuring some pretty angry lip-synched audio -- "You couldn't pay me a million dollars to get an apology video out of me, I stand on what I said, f*** you."

According to the suit, Doe publicly standing by her original claim she was raped "continues to display a shocking and reckless disregard for the truth that is both intentional and malicious."

Buster Murdaugh, the only surviving son of disgraced former attorney and convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh, is officially off the market -- tying the knot with his fiancée ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Buster and his longtime fiancée, Brooklyn White, exchanged vows during a ceremony in Beaufort, South Carolina, surrounded by family and friends Saturday.

Notably absent from Buster’s special day were his parents and younger brother. His mother, Maggie was murdered in 2021 ... and his father, Alex, is currently serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole after being convicted in 2023 for the double homicide of Maggie and Buster’s brother, Paul.

5/6/25 10:15 AM -- The Los Angeles Police Department tells TMZ … a suspect identified as 48-year-old Jimmy Wayne Carwyle was booked for felony vandalism, and was held without bond.

Jennifer Aniston was chilling at home when a man drove through the gates of her Bel Air property in L.A. -- and her security guards held him at gunpoint until cops came and arrested him ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told the scary incident happened just after noon on Monday ... and cops believe the driver is in his 70s.

Our sources say after the crash, Jen's home security team rushed over to the car, got the driver out, and kept their guns trained on him as they waited for LAPD to arrive.

Michelle Obama is getting real -- she’s deep in therapy as she navigates this next chapter of life ... one where, for the first time, she comes first.

The former First Lady dished all on Jay Shetty's podcast, revealing that after wrapping up a huge chapter in the political spotlight -- with her family intact and her grown daughters doing their own thing -- she’s finally making choices just for her. And yep, she’s leaning on therapy to help figure it all out.

Michelle really drove home how crucial therapy is, comparing it to coaching -- and said it was cool having an objective person to talk to, someone to help her untangle old habits and finally sort through years of built-up guilt.

The man allegedly behind the planned bombing of Lady Gaga's recent concert in Brazil was deported from the United States just last month ... this according to Brazilian investigators.

Luis da Silva and a 17-year-old male were arrested hours before the massive free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio, which brought out more than 2.5 million fans Saturday to cheer her on. Cops allege the two suspects planned to blow up bombs near the stage and execute fans, including children, at the show.

The New York Post reports authorities are now saying da Silva was kicked out of the United States in April ... however, they're still looking into the reason for the deportation.

Diddy has added a second Black attorney to his team of legal eagles ... because he just hired Nicole Westmoreland to work with his seven other lawyers to try to get him acquitted at his federal trial in NYC.

Westmoreland will work alongside another Black attorney, Xavier Robert Donaldson, and Diddy's leading trial lawyers Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, who are both white.

Having two African American lawyers on Diddy's legal team is an interesting move, considering that his camp pointed to race as a major factor in what they say is a federal takedown of a rich, successful Black man.

A 26-year-old filmmaker has a bone to pick with Malia Obama ... seemingly claiming the former first daughter used one of her works as inspiration for a new Nike ad -- without properly crediting her.

Natalie Jasmine Harris said Monday the A'ja Wilson vignette that Obama and Nike released this month to promote the hooper's new signature shoe is "shockingly similar" to NJH's 2024 Sundance Film Festival flick, "Grace."

In the Obama-Wilson piece, a young girl can be seen teaching the WNBA superstar her version of "Miss Mary Mack" while on a stoop of a home. In "Grace," two of the characters play a similar game with their hands as they sit on a small staircase leading to a house's front door.
