We want you to be a part of TMZ, so every weekday, between 10:30 AM and 12:00 PM PT, we take you inside our newsroom via live stream.

You never know what you're gonna get ... a big story that breaks, an argument erupts in the room, or someone's just joking around.

Your comments are a big part of the stream, and the staff spends a lot of time speaking directly to you. Every day is different!

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are brushing off their legal drama the same way they seem to handle everything else ... with jokes, smiles and a whole lot of PDA.

The power couple stepped out for a date night at The Greenwich Hotel in NYC this week, and if you didn't know better, you'd never guess they had legal fallout hanging over their heads.

Blake looked downright carefree as she playfully grabbed a handful of Ryan's backside while the pair strolled through Manhattan.

The flirty fun didn't stop there. Reynolds later hoisted his wife onto his back for a piggyback ride down the sidewalk, drawing grins from onlookers and turning an ordinary walk into something straight out of a rom-com.

The two also stopped to take selfies with fans, happily posing for photos before continuing their evening.

Livvy Dunne and Jessica Belkin hit the town for a night out at Chateau Marmont as they took a break from filming the "Baywatch" reboot ... and they clearly don't need swimsuits to look smoking hot.

Livvy and Jessica showed off their lifeguard-fit bodies while leaving the famed Los Angeles hot spot ... and it's easy to see why they were cast in the reboot.

Livvy, the former gymnast-turned-actress, is set to play Grace on the show, while Jessica stars as Charlie.

The reboot, which is set to debut in January 2027, also stars Brooks Nader, Stephen Amell and Noah Beck.

Karmelo Anthony's staring down more than three decades behind bars after being convicted of murder ... but he's not doing time with the general inmate population ... at least not yet.

A rep for Collin County Jail -- where Anthony was sent after a jury found him guilty of murder -- tells TMZ ... the 19-year-old's being housed in a more secure area of the jail, separated from other inmates.

We're told the jail is taking appropriate steps to ensure the safety and security of all inmates in the facility ... but the rep declined to comment on why Anthony specifically is being kept in isolation.

The UFC has infiltrated the FBI headquarters ... with fighters like Justin Gaethje using the agency's digs to prepare for Sunday night's Freedom 250 card at the White House.

The Highlight's setup was put on display in the promotion's new "Embedded" vlog that dropped on Wednesday ... when he casually said the FBI opened its doors to him ahead of his title fight with Ilia Topuria.

Gaethje said the makeshift gym has everything he needs to train -- mats and bags -- but it's gotta be extra cool rolling around on top of the FBI seal.

Alex Cooper's pregnancy cravings and hormones have her down bad ... to the point where she's crying over the size of her steaks.

Alex opened up on her "Call Her Daddy" podcast about how hungry she's been during her pregnancy ... saying the first few weeks had her feeling like "a vacuum" who "could have eaten an entire family."

She recalled how she and her husband, Matt Kaplan, were at a restaurant on a work trip, and everyone recommended they get the steak. But Alex said when the meal came, she burst into tears ... because the piece of meat was too small!!!

President Donald Trump is making it crystal clear he doesn't think Stephen A. Smith belongs anywhere near the Oval Office ... doubling down on his "low IQ" jab and turning their war of words up another notch.

In a fiery Truth Social post Wednesday, Trump unloaded on the ESPN personality, calling him everything from an "arrogant fool" to "dumb as a rock" while insisting Smith is completely unqualified to run for any political office.

Trump didn't stop there ... claiming Stephen would get demolished in a debate by even the most incompetent politicians and suggesting former President Joe Biden would look sharp by comparison.

Kanye West accuser Jenn An is speaking out about the moment Ye allegedly sexually assaulted her ... getting emotional on camera ... but he says she's got it all wrong.

The former "America's Next Top Model" contestant said she arrived in lingerie at NYC's famous Chelsea Hotel for a shoot with other models. She said after a couple hours of shooting Ye arrived and chose 3 models -- including Jenn -- to be in the video with him.

Jenn said Ye then ordered the other 2 models out of the room and told Jenn to sit down in a chair in front of him ... and that's when the alleged sexual assault began.

President Trump's administration says it won't tap out on UFC Freedom 250 -- the cage match set to take place on the White House lawn this weekend -- insisting a lawsuit seeking to block the event came in way too late to stop the fight.

Here's the deal ... earlier this week, two Virginia residents filed a lawsuit against the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior, hoping to get a judge to put the event in a chokehold and force a submission ... calling UFC Freedom 250 "deeply corrupt."

Now, the Trump administration has filed its response, which is mainly focused on timing ... pointing out the fight's been in the works for about a year and the plaintiffs waited until the last minute to file.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Drew Sidora was ordered to cough up monthly child support to her ex-husband, Ralph Pittman, as part of their divorce judgment ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained the judgment entered by the court on June 8, following a trial where Drew and Ralph both testified.

Per the court docs, the court determined Drew's monthly income was approximately $38K per month, while Ralph earned around $27K. The figures are vastly different from the figures Drew submitted in the case, in which she claimed Ralph earned over $70K a month.

Metcalf reportedly shouted ... "We were robbed! Don't look down! You can't look me in the eyes, but you can stab my f---ing son! You don't belong in this community!" Jeff also said the case was not about race, despite narratives ... it was about right and wrong.
