His Airness is now His Airwaves -- Michael Jordan has joined NBC's NBA coverage team as a special contributor, the network announced Monday.

The Peacock is returning to pro basketball as part of the 11-year, $76 billion broadcasting deal with Disney and Amazon ... and it's clear they're not messing around by bringing in the NBA GOAT to its roster.

Unclear what exactly this means for No. 23 -- he doesn't really have much experience in TV ... so the announcement is pretty surprising to say the least.

Diddy’s fam pulled up to court in full force Monday -- locked in, loyal, and leaving no doubt they’re riding with him as his criminal trial gets underway.

The rapper’s kids -- Quincy, Justin, and twins Jessie and D’Lila -- rolled up hand-in-hand to the NYC courthouse, with his mother Janice and baby mama Dana Tran right behind them.

None of them said a word as they walked in -- dodging questions and brushing past flashing cameras. Diddy’s legal team wasn’t far behind ... check out what they had to say in the video.

Cher’s stepping up for the L.A. Zoo elephants, saying they’ve been through enough -- and while their reported Oklahoma move might offer more space, a zoo’s still a cage ... just with a bigger backyard.

The icon, who’s been fighting for Billy, Tina, and other animals for years, didn’t miss a beat when L.A. resident John Kelly sued to block their move to Tulsa Zoo -- she jumped in with a declaration backing their freedom, saying a sanctuary, not another zoo, is where they belong.

In her declaration to the L.A. County Superior Court, Cher said the elephants have done their time in confinement -- now they deserve a shot at peace and dignity.

It's the second week of Diddy's sex trafficking trial and there are some big milestones on the schedule today ... including seating a jury and opening statements from prosecutors and the defense.

Jury selection is up first this morning ... there are 43 jurors still to go through and the goal here is to pick 18 from the huge pool -- 12 jurors and 6 alternates.

Diddy's defense says this should be quick and easy, and there are 16 preemptive challenges to pare down the jury pool ... 10 for the defense and 6 for prosecutors. These challenges allow for prospective jurors to be excluded without an argument from the other side.

Jennifer Lopez is in a celebratory mood ... because she just finished shooting her upcoming film, "Office Romance," and she's now hitting the beach for some R&R.

The actress/singer gave everybody a sneak peek at her day at the beach in a video she uploaded to Instagram Sunday. Wherever she is, the place looks like paradise and J Lo seems ecstatic to be there.

Check out the video ... J Lo, clad in a white bikini top and pink maxi skirt, pirouettes on the sand near the water as music plays in the background. She writes in the caption, “That FREE feeling… it’s a wrap #OfficeRomance.” The romantic comedy, which will be released on Netflix, stars J Lo and actor Brett Goldstein, who also co-wrote the movie.

Halle Berry isn't bashful about discussing her sex life — especially on Mother's Day!

The actress hopped on Instagram Sunday to post a video, which showed her snuggled up next to her boyfriend, Van Hunt, in bed underneath the covers.

Check it out ... Hale is absolutely giddy as she holds up her intimacy gel, "Let's Spin," and speaks into the camera, saying she's going to tell us how her Mother's Day is gonna end.

Start molding the bronze bust and measuring lengths for the gold jacket ... according to Quentin Lake, Matthew Stafford will "easily" be a Hall of Famer whenever he decides to retire from the NFL.

Lake -- who's been the L.A. quarterback's teammate since 2022 -- made no bones about it during a sit-down with TMZ Sports this week ... saying straight up Stafford is "100 percent" an HOFer.

The 26-year-old defensive back explained he's gotten to see Stafford up-close at practices weekly for the last three years ... and he just knows there aren't many who have ever played the game at a higher-level.

Pope Leo XIV's brother will need to cop to using some unsavory language at his next confession ... 'cause he called Nancy Pelosi a bad word in a resurfaced social media post.

The pope's older brother, Louis Prevost, is a regular poster of political content on his Facebook page ... much of it from a more conservative viewpoint.

While there's nothing wrong with sharing a political opinion, one particular post did raise some eyebrows online ... a post where Prevost referred to Pelosi as a "dumb c***."

Naomi Judd's song "Have Mercy" may have become her widower's anthem at least once ... 'cause he confirmed that she once fired a bullet at him.

The two-part Lifetime docuseries "The Judd Family: Truth Be Told" is rolling out this weekend ... and, in it, Naomi's widower -- Larry Strickland -- was asked about a story Judd put in her 1993 memoir "Love Can Build a Bridge."

In the memoir, Judd says she and Strickland -- who she married in 1989 -- were "wildly, madly, passionately in love" ... but, Strickland was never around because she claims in the book he was cheating on her.

The stars at the 2025 BAFTA TV Awards couldn't have been bigger despite shining on the smaller screen ... 'cause celebrity heavyweights sauntered down the red carpet at the Royal Festival Hall in London!

Nicola Coughlan led the A-listers at the event ... looking flowery in a bunched white top and fashionable black skirt. "Wednesday" star Billie Piper proved pretty in pink in a leggy gown -- and, "The Traitors" host Alan Cumming showed the right tailor won't ever stab you in the back.

Jessie J dressed for the ballroom or the boardroom in a baggy maroon suit -- looking ready to buy or sell like any of the biggest fish on Wall Street.

Mark Geragos and Harvey Levin sound like an old married couple ... bickering over what really went down in chambers with the judge in the Diddy case.

As we reported, Geragos was called on the carpet for his comment on last week's "2 Angry Men" podcast, referring to prosecutors as a "six-pack of white women." Judge Arun Subramanian essentially said if he crosses the line again, he'd be open to citing him with contempt.

The Kardashian clan continues to grow and prosper ... and this Mother's Day we're celebrating the proliferation of Calabasas' favorite family.

The next generation began when Kim K and Kanye West got together and produced the first batch of offspring -- North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West.

Kim's sister Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick were next, with Mason Dash Disick, Penelope Scotland Disick, and Reign Aston Disick. Of course, Kourtney later found her true love, Travis Barker, and they welcomed Rocky Barker.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ain't brothers ... but, they certainly brought the love to Philadelphia -- and, their fans can now breathe a sigh of relief.

The two stepped out in the city together on Sunday ... and, someone snapped a pic of them hanging out inside a restaurant.

Check out the photos ... Taylor's flashing a big grin while walking through the place while her man follows along behind her -- looking a bit more stoic.

Judge Arun Subramanian will be an integral part of the Diddy's trial -- which should kick off in earnest Monday with opening arguments ... but, before he became a judge, he was just a civil attorney who really cared about his clients.

We spoke with Mary and Joel Rich -- a couple Arun represented in a lawsuit against Fox News after the network ran a story claiming their son leaked thousands of Democratic party emails to Wikileaks in 2016.

After they settled their lawsuit with the network, Mary and Joel say they wanted to take their legal team out to dinner in New York City to thank them for all their hard work ... and, Arun immediately agreed to come -- with one caveat.

Gisele Bündchen's got one more reason to celebrate Mother's Day ... and, she couldn't help but share a snap of the kid -- giving fans a first look at her son with Joaquim Valente!

The model shared a pic of the kid's back ... decked out in a white sweater with "I ♥️ Mom" written across the back of it. The boy's holding tight to Gisele -- face over her right shoulder and away from the camera.

Another pic shows Gisele, all of her kids and Valente embracing ... with a heart strategically placed over her newborn's face to obscure his features.
