Jamie Foxx says he was having conflicting emotions about having a baby at 58 ... until a Hollywood icon who's going through fatherhood all over again as an octogenarian told him it's all good.

It's funny, Jamie says his old buddy Al Pacino actually made him feel better about having another child later on in life.

Jamie told E! News he was "on the fence" about having a baby at his age ... until he bumped into Al, who is raising a toddler at 86 ... and their hilarious interaction put him at ease.

TMZ broke the story ... Jamie's girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp is pregnant ... and she's several months along.

Here we go again.

The Dream vs. Sparks game came to a screeching halt Thursday night in Los Angeles after a "fan" threw a green sex toy on the court.

The incident occurred with just under 3 minutes left in the third quarter, as Jihyun Park was at the free-throw line, when the object went flying by the Sparks forward ... prompting officials to halt the action.

Angel Reese, from the bench, immediately began pointing out the perpetrator in an attempt to lead security to the thrower.

A federal prosecutor in California was found dead inside an office this week -- and police are now investigating.

The San Diego PD tells TMZ ... Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Haden's body was discovered Wednesday inside an office at a federal building in San Diego, which is home to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California.

Cops say officers received a report of a man who possibly disappeared Wednesday evening, and then they responded to the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building, where they found Haden's body.

Police said they do not suspect foul play ... but the medical examiner will determine the exact cause and manner of death.

Laken Snelling has pleaded guilty to a first-degree manslaughter charge for the August 2025 death of her infant son after previously entering a not guilty plea in April.

The former University of Kentucky student-athlete was emotional as she appeared before the judge Friday morning while explaining what led to her actions. She explained, “I was [under] a lot of stress, and my baby came unexpectedly, and instead of helping him I ended his life"

She admitted specifically to having "deprived him of oxygen" ... and then cleaning up the mess of the birth by throwing him and towels in a plastic bag, and not telling a single soul afterward.

The professor who accused former Cambridge academic Jason Arday of plagiarism before he quit his job and was found dead is now in hot water -- he’s been suspended from his job at a Belgian university.

Nathan Cofnas, a postdoctoral researcher for Ghent University, revealed the news Thursday on X ... adding he believes he will be fired.

In a separate tweet, he said he was under investigation by the university "for discriminating against Arday."

Daveigh Chase's father wants a judge to deny her mother's request to be appointed as the administrator of her 6-figure estate ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, John Schwallier opposes Cathy Chase's motion to be appointed the administrator of the 'Ring' star's estate.

Instead, the docs say Schwallier nominated a woman named Megan Boling -- who describes herself as a neutral licensed professional fiduciary -- to object to Cathy's petition and take on the job instead. If that's denied, the docs request the appointment of a public administrator.

The docs note Daveigh was emancipated from Cathy as a minor due to "allegations of financial irregularities" by Cathy ... and they were "separated" ever since.

The filing says Daveigh was actually "estranged" from both parents at the time of her death, which is why a neutral administrator should be in charge.

Darryl Strawberry has a message for anyone writing Nick Kyrgios off after the tennis star’s positive cocaine test ... ease up!

The former MLB slugger -- who famously battled drug abuse during his own playing days -- is now a pastor helping others through recovery ... and he recently spent a few minutes with TMZ Sports, making it crystal clear where he stands following Nick's positive test.

“I think it’s truly unfair when people punish people, especially athletes, that have substance abuse problems,” Strawberry told us. “I had it for a very long time and I received the same kind of treatment from the public. A lot of times we don’t understand what a person is going through emotionally, mentally, inside."

"Substance abuse is just something to escape from. You can be great as an athlete and have all the talent you want, but at the same time, when you’re broken on the inside, you need to be healed on the inside. And that’s all it is really for him.”

Here's a closer look at the South Carolina apartment complex where Hayden Panettiere was pronounced dead ... from the grounds outside to the hallways within.

Footage shows the exterior of Judson Mill Lofts ... with perfectly manicured lawns, exposed brick, and large glass windows. Inside, you see long hallways with high ceilings and green doors.

To be clear, we don't see inside any of the residences -- or the specific unit where Hayden was found -- but it gives a better sense of the property where first responders rushed to Sunday afternoon after getting a call about Hayden being in cardiac arrest.

Hayden Panettiere would have turned 37 today ... but sadly the celebration will be more of a remembrance.

As TMZ previously reported ... the "Nashville" star had big travel plans to be with her daughter in Germany today ... as part of a trip she told her friends she was ecstatic about.

Unfortunately, Hayden never got to make the trip.

Donald Trump's frenemy and former fixer has been doing quite a bit of sucking up, especially now that he needs a presidential pardon.

In a new clip from his interview with Trump, Michael Cohen was acting all buddy-buddy with the prez, saying ... "Boss, you remember when I was by your side? I literally used to analyze the polls."

This is the latest on Cohen's road to reconciliation with Trump ... after testifying against him in the 2024 hush money trial where he was convicted on 34 felonies.

Brian Hickerson is breaking his silence following the death of Hayden Panettiere ... but he isn't saying much.

Brian's attorney, Sloan Ellis from the Ellis Hinton law firm, tells TMZ ... "Hayden's death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed."

The statement continues ... "As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play."

It ends ... "Out of respect for Hayden's loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time."

John Paris has got a ways to go on his road to recovery ... involving 2 major surgeries, according to a new update on his condition.

In a new post, the Standing for John Paris Facebook page shared that the Earth, Wind & Fire drummer woke up again from his coma ... and this time was stable enough for doctors to evaluate him.

According to the update, the doctors ran some addition tests and determined that John will need "two major surgeries."

This means the musician will be in the ICU "longer than everyone had hoped" while recovering from his scary medical emergency.

Mama June's daughter Pumpkin says OnlyFans is paying off in a major way ... revealing she recently had her biggest day yet on the platform, pulling in as much as $15K.

Nick Cannon will be taking "Wild N' Out" and its hilarious jokes on the road full-time... because we've learned they're leaving their traditional format behind to focus on the live tour.

For the next season, Rip says the show will be doing a live tour and taping it ... collecting the footage from a series of different cities ... much like the hit show "Verzuz."
