The second week of testimony in the Diddy trial is in the books ... and prosecutors continued to try and prove their racketeering case against Diddy, with the help of Kid Cudi.

Cudi took the stand Thursday and told the jury about a couple incidents from his 2011-12 love triangle with Cassie and Diddy ... including a break-in at his home and a Molotov cocktail dropped in his Porsche.

Kid Cudi said Diddy broke into his home and rummaged through his Christmas gifts after finding out he was dating Cassie ... and he said he was convinced Diddy had something to do with his Porsche getting torched too.

Despite many protests and celebrity outrage, Billy and Tina have successfully made it to their new home in Tulsa -- where they will spend the next several weeks building bonds with their new care team and their fellow pachyderms.

Tyrese Haliburton and his girlfriend are two peas in a pod ... 'cause fresh off the Indiana Pacers star making the choking gesture amid the New York Knicks' Game 1 collapse, Jade Jones had a savage reaction to the action, too!!

The hooper's stunning longtime partner went to Instagram to share her favorite snaps from Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden ... and she had quite the caption to go along with the post.

Todd and Julie Chrisley are still locked up ... but, reality television producers are working around that -- 'cause they're going to have a small part in their family's upcoming show.

The Chrisley family's new reality show -- a still untitled project -- was announced by Lifetime yesterday, with a release scheduled for later this year. The show will follow the family as they struggle to navigate life while Todd and Julie remain locked up for many years to come.

However, don't think this means Todd and Julie won't make an appearance on the show ... 'cause production sources tell us phone calls they make from prison will air on the series.

Suge Knight has no doubt Diddy would have shot at him if Diddy tracked him down at a famous restaurant in L.A. ... but his story will never be heard at Diddy's trial, even though it feels pretty important to the prosecution's case.

The former Death Row Records owner tells TMZ ... his rivalry with Diddy was so bad back in the day, Diddy would have had no choice but to use a gun if their paths ever crossed in public.

That almost happened back in 2008 at Mel's Drive-In ... because Diddy's former personal assistant testified this week he went to the famous diner to get cheeseburgers for Diddy, and bumped into Suge.

The former drummer for the metal-core band The Devil Wears Prada was killed in a plane crash early Thursday morning in San Diego, TMZ has learned from his family.

Larry Williams tells TMZ ... his son, Daniel, was among the victims of the Cessna crash around 4 AM, which set part of a residential neighborhood of U.S. Navy-owned housing on fire. Several people on the ground were hurt in the fire and one home was destroyed.

Larry tells us the family is confident he was on the plane and they know there were no survivors -- but they have yet to get an official confirmation from authorities, which is making the entire situation even worse.

Pamela Anderson isn't returning to her past trademark look, despite rumors to the contrary ... 'cause sources tell us an old photo of the star has confused the internet.

Here's the deal ... a photo of Anderson decked out in her old-school makeup made its way around social media this week, capturing her perfectly maintained face.

She's wearing a bright red robe in the snap, and her hair's dyed a vibrant bleach blonde ... and, it led many to surmise that she'd given up her au naturel face and was going back to the "'90s Pam" many fans adored back in the day.

Joe Exotic and his husband Jorge Marquez Flores are speaking out for the first time following the latter's deportation from America Saturday ... and they both confirm their final goodbye was "pretty emotional."

The "Tiger King" star and his better half tell TMZ they knew the day they'd be ripped apart was coming -- so they made sure to treat every day like it was their last.

Jorge -- who spoke to TMZ from a friend's house in Mexico -- gave a glimpse into their last weeks together, recalling their frequent trips to the library and gym ... even noting they bonded as they worked on their English and Spanish skills together.

Georgia O'Connor -- an undefeated British boxer -- has died at the age of 25 ... months after revealing her cancer diagnosis and just three weeks after getting married.

"The boxing community has lost a talented, courageous and determined young woman far too soon."

Nicole Brown Simpson's sister is making a bunch of comparisons between the trials of O.J. Simpson and Diddy ... and she sees a lot of similarities between her sister and Cassie.

Tanya Brown says the Diddy trial feels a lot like O.J.'s "Trial of the Century" ... mainly because of abuse allegations and the power dynamics of both couples.

Cassie gave four days of intense testimony last week in Diddy's federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial in NYC, and Tanya says folks following the case should not be quick to judge Cassie because they haven't walked in her shoes.

A former makeup artist for Diddy and Cassie just testified for the prosecution in Diddy's federal sex trafficking trial in NYC ... and she told the jury she saw injuries to Cassie's face after an altercation with Diddy following a Grammys party at Prince's house.

Mylah Morales says during Grammys weekend in 2010, she went to a party with Cassie at Prince's Los Angeles estate ... and then they went back to a hotel room. She says Diddy burst in and asked, "Where the f*** is she?"

Morales told jurors Diddy went into a room where Cassie was and shut the door ... and Morales said she heard screaming and yelling. She testified Diddy stormed out and then a "distraught" Cassie emerged with a swollen eye, busted lip and knots on her head.

Kid Cudi didn't let Diddy allegedly orchestrating the fire-bombing of his car ruin his love for Porsche ... judging from the cheeky song title he picked for his last album's lead single.

The hip hop star released the track "Porsche Topless" for his "Insano" album back in June 2023, over a decade after his convertible literally had its roof blown off by a Molotov cocktail.

At the time of its release, Cudi told listeners to envision “Imagine ur floating high up in the bright blue sky on a nice warm summer's day” ... clearly pushing down the bad memories of seeing his beloved car cooked extra crispy in his Hollywood Hills driveway.

Eli Manning apparently ain't the only one with Tom Brady's number ... Morgan Wallen just proved he, too, can slay the G.O.A.T. -- beating him in a round of golf earlier this month.

Brady said Thursday the loss to the country music superstar went down last week ... after he challenged the "Last Night" crooner to nine holes at the Troubadour Golf and Field Club in Tennessee.

Brady documented the guys' round for a video on his YouTube channel -- and while TB12's swing looked crisp, Wallen's was clearly far more efficient.
