DJ Khaled is spinning fewer plates of grub these days ... because the famed music producer has dropped some serious weight ... and he's proudly showing off his transformation.

Khaled stepped out Thursday night in New York City for the MCM x DJ Khaled We The Best launch party ... and he looked stylish as ever and shockingly trim.

The "Wild Thoughts" hitmaker has been working to drop those pounds since the beginning of the year ... back in February he said he was shedding weight by golfing and increasing his daily step count to 15,000.

Looks like it's paying off.

Conor McGregor hasn't fought in five years, but he certainly doesn't have mic rust -- 'cause the Notorious put on a show at his UFC 329 press conference with Max Holloway.

The fighters on Saturday's main card spoke with the media in Las Vegas on Thursday ... and the 37-year-old former champ-champ found himself right back in his usual groove.

The night was filled with trash talk ... and even some random Oasis karaoke when Conor was asked which comeback is bigger -- his, or the Gallagher bros' return in 2025.

Taylor Frankie Paul is copping to sending a text to her ex, Dakota Mortensen, where she raved about being a "full-blown MILF" with "perfect" boobs.

Here's one way of firing up the kitchen ... a Florida man decided to get the burners going by incinerating a Tampa restaurant with a propane tank ... and it's all on video.

Hillsborough County deputies responded to a call Tuesday about a man charging at people inside the eatery ... and they say body camera footage shows Castillo standing in the middle of the flames, armed with two knives.

Deputies came in with their guns drawn, ordering the man to drop his weapons immediately ... then they make the arrest and take a fire extinguisher to the flames.

Biohacker Bryan Johnson has been looking to defy Father Time by aging as gracefully as a bottle of wine ... except now he's faced with biologically insurmountable odds.

Despite the sheer irony of a man whose whole brand is defying age suddenly coming down with an incurable disease -- Autoimmune Gastritis -- Bryan's reaction to his diagnosis is "it's wonderous."

Mackenzie Shirilla was under review by Ohio prison authorities after a glammed-up picture of the convicted killer in prison recently appeared on Instagram, but she won't face any punishment, TMZ has learned.

Shirilla, who shot to infamy with her Netflix documentary "The Crash," apparently sent the dolled-up photo of herself from Ohio Reformatory for Women to a family member through a tablet called ViaPeth, which is used by inmates to stay connected to loved ones, according to JoEllen Smith, chief spokesperson for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. 

Smith said the Office of Victim Services and the Office of the Chief Inspector reviewed the matter and determined that Shirilla did not post the pic herself because "Incarcerated individuals do not have access to social media platforms on the ViaPath tablets."

Disgraced former Prince Andrew can't seem to shake the Jeffrey Epstein curse ... police in the United Kingdom are now reportedly flying to the U.S. to interview Virginia Giuffre's family. 

Investigators from Thames Valley Police are scheduled to travel across the pond to sit down for an informal chat with Giuffre’s brother and sister-in-law, Sky and Amanda Roberts, according to The Times of London. The two are reportedly not direct witnesses, so they will not be formally interviewed.

As you know, Andrew has been under scrutiny by Thames Valley Police for alleged sexual offenses in connection with the Epstein case. Andrew has long faced allegations that he had sex with Giuffre at least 3 times beginning when she was 17, although he has never been criminally charged.

Giuffre, perhaps one of Epstein's most well-known victims, died by suicide last year. 

The Times of London reports that Giuffre’s family credits the police with being “very proactive” in their investigation of Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles by King Charles following association with Epstein, as seen in the Epstein files.

Here's the sitch -- Paige's new docuseries "Turning the Paige" debuted this week on Prime Video ... and fans are buzzing about the empowering message Ariana sent a teenage Paige as she was gaining traction for the uncanny impersonation and look-alike videos she was posting.

The message, which TMZ verified came from the Grammy winner, said that Paige was beautiful "without trying to make her face look more similar to someone else's." The DM wrapped up, "Always do what makes you happy of course but if I didn't say that to you, I'd regret it."

Now, Paige tells TMZ ... she had mixed feelings about the entire interaction.

She tells us it was an unexpected moment she shared in her doc to show the love and kindness Ariana sent her ... though she felt "led on" due to the social media narratives forming around the same time the DM found its way into her inbox.
