3:05 PM PT -- The ticket drama appears over ... Ticketmaster says if you bought a valid Game 5 ticket through its platform, you're getting into the building.

The Spurs' ticket policy has already ticked off Knicks fans ... now it's got New York Attorney General Letitia James breathing down San Antonio's neck.

James jumped into the controversy Saturday, publicly demanding the Spurs ditch the alleged policy that had threatened some out-of-state ticket purchases ahead of Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The AG even threw in a little hometown pride while making her case.

As TMZ previously reported, some Knicks fans who purchased tickets for Saturday night's game were stunned to learn their orders could be canceled because they lived outside a 150-mile radius of San Antonio. The Spurs later said the restriction wasn't created specifically for the Finals ... and noted it has been in place throughout the postseason.

Keke Palmer and "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans are fueling the chatter they could be an item .. 'cause they went out on a cozy 'lil date night in New York City!

Check it out -- the pair was seen chatting away at Brooklyn's upscale Italian eatery, Lucali, Friday evening. An eyewitness tells us the pair dined for more than 90 minutes and were super "locked in" on their conversation ... pointing to their outing being more than a quick bite between pals.

They didn't show any PDA, we're told ... but according to our source, Sean seemed "smitten" over Keke.

There's never a gray day when Amelia Gray Hamlin's around ... just sunshine, smiles and lots of curves -- and we've put together her best shots to prove it.

Just check out this pic ... Amelia looks pretty in pink -- flaunting her figure in a tiny ensemble that would put Elle Woods to shame.

Vanessa Trump is staying optimistic amid her breast cancer fight ... sharing a promising update after weeks of recovering from surgery.

She took to social media Saturday to let followers know she's completed the recovery phase following her operation, and is now preparing to begin the next stage of treatment. She also used the post to offer encouragement to others navigating similar health battles. The update comes as she continues her high-profile relationship with Tiger Woods.

In her latest message, Vanessa said she's spent the last month healing and focusing on her recovery ... and while the journey isn't over, she appears to be keeping a positive outlook as she moves forward.

A dream vacation turned tragic in Thailand ... an up-and-coming Australian sprint star has died after a motorcycle crash. She was just 25.

Jemma Stapleton was reportedly riding a motorcycle on Thailand's Koh Samui island Wednesday when disaster struck ... with authorities pointing to rainy weather as a possible factor in the crash. Her family was traveling just behind her when it happened.

The tragedy comes just a little over a week after Stapleton celebrated her 25th birthday and months after another standout season on the track. The Melbourne native finished third in the prestigious Stawell Gift in 2025 and returned to the final again this year -- cementing her status as one of Australia's rising sprint talents.

Harper Beckham's seemingly trying to play peacemaker in the Beckham family feud ... but her latest mission ended before it even started.

The 14-year-old daughter of David and Victoria Beckham was spotted pulling up to big brother Brooklyn's Beverly Hills home Friday afternoon -- just hours after attending her dad's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony with the rest of the family, according to a report by Page Six.

Brooklyn notably was a no-show at the event amid the ongoing family rift.

Jacquees isn't letting Lecrae's comments slide quietly ... the R&B singer is firing back after the gospel star suggested he wasn't good enough for Deiondra Sanders.

We caught up with Jacquees while he was promoting his new single and upcoming album, "Mood 2" ... and you gotta watch the clip, because he wastes no time unloading on Lecrae after hearing the comments for the first time.

The drama stems from a recent podcast appearance featuring Deiondra -- the daughter of NFL legend Deion Sanders -- and Lecrae. During their conversation, Deiondra opened up about her relationship with Jacquees, while Lecrae admitted he was disappointed by the pairing ... telling her, "From the outside looking in ... I wanted more for you."

Taylor Swift's no poser ... so says former New York superstar Amar'e Stoudemire, who tells TMZ Sports the singer's loyalty to the Orange and Blue goes all the way back to his time on the Knicks.

The topic took over social media during Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday ... when Swift, Mariska Hargitay and the HAIM sisters sat courtside for the home team's incredible comeback win.

Some haters -- even Knicks radio talent Monica McNutt -- called BS on Swift earning a spot on the hardwood ... but they clearly didn't do their homework, as there's plenty of evidence connecting her to the organization.

Tyra Banks ain't just serving looks ... she just filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix following her participation in their "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model" docuseries.

The legal docs, filed Saturday and obtained by TMZ, allege Netflix only used 16 minutes from her over 3-hour interview with them and manipulated it "to support a false and defamatory narrative."

The lawsuit accuses producers of constructing a false narrative about Tyra through "selective editing, deliberate omission, and surgical manipulation of continuous footage -- including that Ms. Banks knowingly allowed a contestant to be sexually assaulted on her show, exploited that contestant's trauma for ratings, and then could not even remember it when asked."

Austin Metcalf's dad ripped into pretty much everyone on his recent podcast appearance ... this time he's taking aim at the school superintendent, calling him a "bald-headed piece of s***."

Jeff Metcalf went after the Frisco Superintendent on Sarah Fields' "JinxedSip" podcast ... calling him "the most spineless, coward piece of s*** I've ever met in my entire life."

He blasted the superintendent for allowing Karmelo Anthony to graduate high school after stabbing his son to death at a track meet in April 2025. Jeff argued that Karmelo shouldn't have been able to graduate because he says the school handbook allegedly declares murder to be grounds for "mandatory expulsion."

The Spurs say their ticket policy is nothing new ... and has been that way the entire playoffs.

"The 150-mile radius restriction introduced during the Playoffs remains in place throughout the NBA Finals. This allows us to continue prioritizing local fans across San Antonio, Austin and surrounding communities."

Suddenly, there's a "No City Slickers" rule in place for the NBA Finals game 5 ... the San Antonio Spurs are yanking tickets away from Knicks fans hoping to watch their team win its first 'chip in 53 years.

The message is loud and clear on the Ticketmaster page for Spurs tickets ... anyone buying tickets for Saturday night's crucial game will be blocked if ya ain't from 'round these parts. The actual warning reads, "Sales to this event will be restricted to customers residing within a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center" ... the Spurs home arena.

Even if you're an out-of-towner who already has tickets, you're likely to get screwed, too. The Ticketmaster warning adds, violators of the rule will have their tickets "canceled without notice" ... but you will get a refund.

President Trump has taken out another bad actor in the world, blowing up the leader of the vicious transnational crime syndicate, Tren de Aragua.

On Friday, Trump posted a video to Truth Social, which he says shows the exact moment Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores was incinerated during a U.S. strike on a building in Venezuela ... where the cartel leader was holed up.

47 accompanied the stunning clip with his usual blunt banter, writing that our military had killed Flores in a "swift and lethal kinetic strike" in coordination with "our friends in Venezuela." Trump also called Flores "the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua," which is "one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth."

Kyle Cooke feels betrayed by West Wilson and Amanda Batula ... but that doesn't mean he needs to take himself out of the dating game!

The "Summer House" star was spotted at an Uber event in New York City Friday night with a mystery brunette in tow ... and yes, they were definitely together. Just look at the clip -- he held her hand to lead her through the crowd, and at another point, they were listening to the Backstreet Boys with Bravo honcho Andy Cohen.

It's unclear if they're just pals or an item, but we're happy to see Kyle getting out there as he continues to grapple with the fact his former close friend, West, is now fully in a relationship with Kyle's estranged wife, Amanda.

Ashlee Jenae's fiancé is turning his pain into purpose ... Joe McCann tells us he's begun the process of setting up a foundation in Ashlee's honor.

According to Joe, the foundation will be a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to preventing self-harm and helping people who have thoughts of self-harm.

6/13 -- 9:30 AM PT -- President Donald Trump's name has officially been removed from the Kennedy Center after a crew began the process around midnight Pacific Time, The Washington Post reports.

A tarp still covers the lettering on the front of the structure, but it should read "The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts" again.

6/13 -- 4:15 AM PT -- The original deadline to remove Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has passed ... but on early Saturday, workers officially began dismantling the highly-debated letters.

But, as you can see ... the crew hung a massive white tarp from the building, so it's unclear how much progress has been made.

The court-ordered deadline was Friday, but the Kennedy Center asked a judge to extend the deadline until noon ET Saturday, citing thunderstorms causing a delay, AP reported. The work is expected to wrap up Saturday morning.

6/12 -- 4:57 PM -- A rainbow was spotted outside the Kennedy Center while a crowd gathered to watch Trump's name get taken down. It's a pretty poetic visual, considering it's Pride month.

Donald Trump's name is being removed from the Kennedy Center thanks to a judge's order ... and it's time for workers to rip off those big ol' letters ... and TMZ is streaming live.

The sitting president's name has to come off the Kennedy Center by the end of today ... the final day of the judge's deadline to comply with his ruling ... and all eyes are on the famed Washington D.C. arts institution as it gets a facelift.

Scaffolding's already in place ... and the construction crew's expected to get cracking on it any minute -- though they may be waiting to see if an appeals court waves them off at the 11th hour.
