In response to the bombshell testimony, sources close to the imprisoned mogul tell TMZ ... "Diddy had absolutely nothing to do with the Tupac murder. He did not pull the trigger or set it up. It would be a waste of time if prosecutors ever called him as a witness."

Here's the backstory ... on Wednesday, ex-LAPD detective Daryn Dupree testified in court that he interviewed Duane "Keefe D" Davis regarding the 1997 murder of rapper Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace in L.A.

Gayle King says Hayden Panettiere wasn't at the top of her game when Gayle interviewed her a few months before her tragic death ... but she says it was clear Hayden was trying to get better.

We got the newscaster in New York City on Friday morning ... and our photog asked her if there were signs Hayden wasn't doing well back in May, when they had their last conversation.

Gayle, who laid into Hayden's mom earlier this week for her statement after her daughter died, says there weren't "signs" of anything wrong with Hayden ... but she admits the actress was "clearly still wobbly" and still working things out -- which is why Gayle's heart sank when she heard the news of Hayden's death.

Happy Friday! Can you guess the sexy car babe teasing us in this mirror selfie?!

Race car driver, actress, and a cameo in the film "Gran Turismo" are just some of the things this total babe has on her resume ... she's also known for building some of the world's fastest cars.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's youngest child, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, is one step closer to dropping her father's famous last name ... making legal moves to become Vivienne Jolie.

Some of the money Chris Brown is pulling in from his uber-successful nationwide tour with Usher could land in his former housekeeper's pockets soon ... a Los Angeles judge ruled she has a right to collect her judgment from what he's bringing in on tour, TMZ has learned.

Court docs obtained by TMZ reveal the judge presiding over Maria Avila's lawsuit granted her request to assign money Chris gets from royalties and tour income to her to satisfy the $13 million judgment she won in her dog attack case against him.

Chris objected to the request, but the judge apparently wasn't swayed.

Unclear if Chris will ask for reconsideration or appeal the ruling.

As TMZ first reported, Chris was ordered to pay Maria the 8-figure sum after she won her lawsuit over a vicious dog attack at his L.A. home in 2020.

Hopefully, Margaret Qualley didn't put her foot in her mouth at "The Dog Stars" movie premiere ... but if she did, at least no clunky shoe would be in the way.

The actress showed up to the premiere of her new flick in London on Thursday wearing a gorgeous black dress and some controversial footwear ... a pair of Chanel shoes with no soles.

Margaret's shoes are very minimalist ... just a couple of block heels and some ankle straps.

Good thing Margaret had a fresh pedicure!!!

Don Lemon's wishing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle luck on their move back to the United Kingdom ... though it's admittedly a bit begrudging.

He throws a "Good luck, whatever," their way ... not exactly a full-throated expression of support, though he does note he gets where they're coming from as an interracial couple.
