Justin Baldoni’s blown so much cash on his legal mess with Blake Lively that the charitable arm of his Wayfarer Studios has taken the hit -- and now it’s shutting down for good.

Sources with knowledge make it clear to TMZ the shutdown’s tied to the ongoing lawsuits and the toll that’s taken -- financially and emotionally -- on Baldoni and co-founder Steve Sarowitz, though Wayfarer Studios itself is still chugging along.

Sources tell us the closure is a gut punch, especially given the foundation’s powerful mission and impact -- funding causes from criminal justice reform to gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and uplifting diverse communities.

Pope Francis' death means the church needs to hold a conclave ... and, 'cause it's been more than a decade since the last one, some are looking to an Oscar-winning movie for a refresher.

According to Politico, a few Cardinals in the church are sitting down and watching "Conclave" starring Ralph Fiennes, Isabella Rossellini and Stanley Tucci ... just to pick up a few pointers before the real thing kicks off.

The last conclave was held in 2013, when Pope Francis was chosen after two days and multiple ballots ... and, many clerics in the church now were appointed by Francis -- and took no part in that event.

It's been 12 months since Tom Brady let his friends roast him for a Netflix special, but he's still beating himself up over it ... openly admitting it was a "f*** up" to sign up for the event.

Brady, of course, let his pals throw barbs his way for nearly three hours in May 2024 ... but he admitted once more this week the jokes over his divorce with Gisele Bundchen really hurt his family.

The NFL's GOAT told Logan Paul on the latest episode of "Impaulsive" his kids were super upset over some of the jabs -- and it frankly ruined his whole roast experience.

Diddy judge Arun Subramanian looked more like a student heading into a building to attend class today -- instead of his day job, which is presiding over the disgraced music mogul's federal sex trafficking trial.

On Wednesday morning, TMZ shot video of Judge Subramanian as he zipped inside the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan, where he's overseeing Diddy's infamous trial, which is in its third day of jury selection.

Subramanian is in his mid-40s, but he appears much younger, with a thin build and a spring in his step. What's more, Subramanian is wearing a backpack with chunky headphones over his ears, giving off more of a college vibe.

Ben Affleck is showing his softer side for Britney Spears ... revealing he felt "empathy" for the "Toxic" singer back in the day when all eyes were on her in the center of the ring -- as Brit put it -- just like a circus.

The "Good Will Hunting" star spoke about the "cruelty" of fame recently on the "This Past Weekend With Theo Von" podcast ... noting that although he did not know Brit at the height of her fame, he understands "the cycle of having people harangue you and yell at you and hassle you and follow you."

He even compared her to a tiger being poked and prodded until it erupts in anger, and commented on the unfair public perception it creates, explaining ... "What’s taken out of the image that you see are the people around waving the stick at the tiger or poking on it ... all you see is the growling anger."

Adam Carolla is backing Donald Trump’s bold idea to slap a 100% tariff on films produced outside the U.S., claiming it could be the shake-up Hollywood needs to bring business back home ... particularly back to L.A.

Carolla tells TMZ Los Angeles used to be the heart of movie production, but rising taxes and costs pushed projects elsewhere -- and now we’re watching major films get shot in Canada, Europe, and pretty much anywhere but here.

He called out the industry’s double standards, saying Hollywood loves to preach about paying your fair share and supporting below-the-line workers ... yet it's the first to pack up and head abroad the moment local expenses rise.

It’s been 20 years and Shakira’s hips still don’t lie -- and she just reminded everyone with a performance that slapped, shook, and served.

Shakira hit the stage looking like she hadn’t aged a day in 2 decades -- diving into the sand in a fiery red dress, showing off her signature moves before bringing out her collab king, Wyclef Jean, on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

The Colombian queen went all out for the anniversary special -- pure nostalgia, hips in full swing, and a crowd-pleasing jam backed by live musicians.

Elaina St. James may be a cougar ... but she's also an OnlyFans model who just achieved a historic landmark in the sex-toy game -- and Lamar Odom may want to add her new product to his expanding collection.

The 57-year-old St. James -- who also goes by "America's Favorite Cougar" -- has scored one heck of an achievement ... she's become the oldest model ever to collaborate with Fleshlight!

As you know -- or maybe you don't -- Fleshlight is a popular sex toy brand that creates artificial vaginas and other imitation sex devices -- including oral and anal. St. James has just inspired the company to make a replica of her lady bits --- and we even got her to pose with the private part made out of a secret material.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' press conference momentarily got derailed Tuesday ... after a state senator fainted while giving a speech onstage.

State Senator Ileana Garcia, a republican who represents Florida's District 36, was standing at a podium in front of a crowd delivering an address about environmental legislation when things took a wrong turn.

Check out video showing Garcia suddenly turning to DeSantis, who is offscreen, and telling the governor she's not feeling well and needs to sit down.

Kylie Jenner was looking mighty fine and living her best yacht life -- ditching mom duty for designer bikinis alongside fellow mama Hailey Bieber as the two soaked up the Miami sun.

You have to check out these pics -- Kylie was a total smoke show, flaunting that bangin’ bod in a teeny black bikini while catching rays aboard the ultra-luxe UTOPIA VI -- interestingly, the same name as her ex Travis Scott's new album.

Kylie was strutting around the deck like it was her personal runway, soaking up every angle of the sun -- perfect relaxation the Friday before walking the blue carpet at the Met Gala Monday night as both their men -- Justin Bieber and Timothée Chalamet -- skipped the event to watch sports instead.

Rolly Romero's next fight almost certainly won't be against Devin Haney ... the boxing superstar just ripped his rival during a chat with TMZ Sports -- calling him "shattered" and "a track star."

After triumphantly beating Ryan Garcia in Times Square last week, Romero said Tuesday he's on the hunt for a "big name" for his next bout ... but, he made it clear it likely won't be Haney.

Romero implied the 26-year-old -- who won a controversial tilt against José Ramírez minutes before his Garcia showdown in NYC -- is just too boring to attract mass amounts of Pay-Per-View buys.

Colombian singer J Balvin is celebrating a big one today ... It's his 40th birthday, and we can only do him right by flashin' you his fire photos ... Sit back and take in the show, 'cuz this hottie is strippin' down!

With his 2014 "6 AM" breakthrough, Balvin has continued to deliver stellar music, but most importantly: sexy snaps ... The Medellin native loves a short swim trunk, as do we 😜!

He's also been on his fitness game ... and compared to the hot shots in our gallery, this shredded back photo is quite tame!

Michael Pitt has been arrested on sexual abuse charges ... with authorities accusing him of sexually assaulting his then-girlfriend and later attacking her with several blunt objects.

According to the indictment, prosecutors say Pitt's charges stem from four domestic incidents that allegedly took place between April 2020 and August 2021.

Cops claim the alleged incidents occurred at the actors Bushwick home with his then-girlfriend ... where they say fondled ex on one occasion and then -- months later -- allegedly sexually assaulted and struck her with a wooden plank.

Nicole Westmoreland -- the newest lawyer on Diddy's team -- is a survivor of sexual assault ... because she was allegedly raped back in 2001.
