Monday has rolled around again ... and TMZ's kicking off the week with the best Hot Takes in Hollywood!

Harvey and Charles break down country star Morgan Wallen's arrest for throwing a chair off a downtown Nashville bar's roof on "TMZ Live."

Before this suave boy crossing his arms for a photo turned into a Reality TV star, he was just running cross country, hanging around at his family's swimming pool and heading off to study business at the University of Southern California.

His days as an athlete definitely prepped him for his time on "Dancing With The Stars," however the true test of endurance was his years and years on reality television ... When he's not working on his line of socks, you can catch him in Calabasas taking care of his daughter.

Billy Dee Williams made his stance on actors in blackface clear ... saying he's all good with it, 'cause acting is acting -- and an actor should be able to do what they want in their craft.

The 'Star Wars' alum dished his thoughts on this during Sunday's episode of "Club Random" with Bill Maher -- this as he praised Laurence Olivier's performance in 1965's "Othello" ... in which the late star, who was white, wore blackface to play the titular lead.

Billy said Olivier's performance left him laughing out loud, because LO was lambasting stereotypes associated with Black folks -- and he says he found it humorous as opposed to offensive.

The moment police say Morgan Wallen hurled a chair off a rooftop bar in Nashville is captured on multiple surveillance cameras -- and TMZ has one angle of the incident.

This footage, captured from street level outside the Chief's Bar in downtown Nashville, shows the chair flying over the rooftop ledge ... 6 stories above busy Broadway. From this angle, we can't see who threw the chair, but cops say witnesses and videos inside the bar confirm it was the country superstar.

The moment the chair goes over happens very quickly ... but you can see it does so with a lot of force, so it wasn't just tipped over the side or anything -- it was straight-up chucked.

Bianca Censori seems to be telegraphing a positive message about safe sex -- that is, if you see what we see with her latest outfit ... which looks very latex-y, if you catch our drift.

The ex-architect was out with Kanye West Sunday -- grabbing dinner at Bacari in Silver Lake, CA ... and stepping out afterward in this little number, which once again made a bold fashion statement. As you can see, she's in a see-through dress -- and yes, she appears to be naked underneath.

Nothing new there, per se, but what is eye-popping this time around is what exactly she's wrapped in -- on its face, it resembles a plastic shower curtain ... or, realistically, a condom.

Kourtney Kardashian is loving her body at any size, and she's proving it with a new bikini pic, and a message about embracing her postpartum physique.

The reality TV star shared some candid spring break pics, in which the mom of four put her post-baby bod on display in a little black bikini. To silence the chatter surrounding her body, Kourtney posted an IG story reminding her followers to love themselves at all stages.

She said, "During pregnancy as we are glowing and growing, postpartum as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find hardest as our bodies are still adjusting."

Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons' 21-year-old daughter is dating a 65-year-old guy -- with whom she's on vacation right now -- but Papa Bear isn't trippin', or so it seems.

The Def Jam co-founder tells TMZ he spoke with his daughter, Aoki, a day before the news came out she was romantically involved with Vittorio Assaf -- the founder of Serafina Restaurant Group -- which came to light last week through PDA-filled vacay photos of them.

The couple is out in St. Barts right now -- and shots of them smooching have gone viral ... not to mention invoking the wrath of social media, but Russell says he's not stressing it.

Mel Gibson's infamous arrest and antisemitic tirade in 2006 left him blacklisted for years ... but he's now giving thanks to pal Robert Downey Jr. for throwing his legacy a lifeline.

The actor/director gave his thanks to RDJ in a new Esquire interview profiling the recent Oscar winner -- and he detailed how Rob was one of the only A-listers back in the day who were willing to give him a second chance

MG says, "One time, I got into a bit of a sticky situation where it kind of ended my career. I was drunk in the back of a police car and I said some stupid s**t, and all of a sudden: blacklisted. I’m the poster boy for canceled."

Comedian Jerrod Carmichael's joke about race-based role-playing with his white boyfriend isn't getting as many laughs as it is raised eyebrows and anger.

The controversial quip came on HBO's "Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show" ... where JC says, "I sometimes joke to him that our relationship is like that of a slave and a master's son ... who, like, teaches me how to read by candlelight."

Just that opening line drew some jeers, but Jerrod pressed on, "Yeah, he groans too 'cause he's a good person. He doesn't like that f***ing joke. I like that joke. That's my burden, I think that s***'s hilarious!!'

Suge Knight couldn't be more disappointed with J. Cole waiving the white flag to Kendrick Lamar -- reacting to the brief beef live from his prison cell ... and we got the recording.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained audio from Breakbeat Media's "Collect Call" podcast of Suge's reaction for Cole's forfeiting to Kendrick at his Dreamville Festival this weekend ... and he's got more of a coronation for Kendrick and a harsh lecture for Cole.

Suge tells Cole in order to be the best, he has to beat the best and knocked Cole for throwing in the towel -- saying if African-Americans at large shared his attitude, they'd still be enslaved.

Susan Miller can usually talk all things stars at a moment's notice -- which is why we thought she'd be great to discuss the solar eclipse ... if it wasn't for these damn kids!

We say that in jest, of course -- but you gotta get a load of this interview we did with the famed astrologer Monday in NYC ... just as the eclipse was set to go down, as tons of people congregated in a local park there to catch the rare phenomenon.

Of course, with parks and playgrounds comes children too ... and the place here was crawling with them as we conducted our sit-down with SM. Let's just say ... it's entertaining.

Raquel Welch's longtime L.A. home has hit the market over a year after her passing, TMZ has learned.

The actress and international sex symbol was living it up in style for 15 years before her death last year -- and one lucky buyer can now snag a piece of Hollywood history by shelling out a whopping $3.9 million on her stunning villa.

Check out the pics ... the 5 bed, 6 bath Mediterranean villa, nestled in the exclusive enclave of Beverly Glen Circle, is luxury and comfort at its finest -- and totally worth every penny!

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is making her split from husband Ryan Anderson official ... as she has just filed for divorce, TMZ has learned.

According to court records, GRB filed for divorce on Monday -- and she's the petitioner here, so this is everything from her side. We don't know the exact details of what she's asking for just yet ... but we do know Gypsy's filed, and that it's registered in the system.

Remember, Gypsy announced her split from Ryan in a private Facebook announcement at the end of March ... where she shared she was moving back in with her dad and stepmom after hitting a rough patch with her hubby of nearly 2 years.

Hollywood is being outshone by the 2024 Solar Eclipse ... and they don't seem to care one bit, as several stars rocked safety glasses to experience the rare celestial occurrence.

Patrick Mahomes and daughter Sterling Skye threw on a pair of solar eclipse shades on Monday ... although his 16-month-old son, Bronze, didn't seem too interested in participating.

Nina Dobrev enjoyed the eclipse with friends, admitting on social media she took a quick peek at the sun without glasses.

'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Lauri Peterson's son, Josh Waring, likely passed away from an overdose ... this according to cops.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... officers were called out around 11:30 AM Easter Sunday to a motel in Orange County, arriving on the scene after staff told them they stopped by Josh's room after his checkout time -- as we're told he'd failed to let anyone know he'd left.

We're told Josh's body was found in his room -- with drug paraphernalia and residue also discovered ... which is why police are treating his death as a possible OD.

Drake hasn't responded to Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" diss, but he's aware of J. Cole's public apology ... and Akademiks says that's not a route Drake's planning to take. Bring on the beef!!!

Ak has been losing sleep on his Rumble stream ripping into Cole's apology, but told his chat he had a long convo with Drake who scoffed at the notion of saying sorry to Kendrick.

Ak says Drake literally laughed at him when warned not to apologize like Cole, and shared an incredulous message ... "I can’t f***ing believe you would say some s*** like that to me.”
