42-year-old mother of four and cancer survivor Brooke Burke-Charvet knows how to live life to the fullest ... and tightest ... flaunting her ridiculously toned body at a gas station in Malibu today.

Just to recap: this "Dancing with the Stars" badass is 42, she has 4 kids (3 daughters and 1 son) and recently beat thyroid cancer following a scary diagnosis in 2012. And she can still look this good.

FYI, Brooke is currently married to former "Baywatch" star David Charvet.

Gotta love California.

Freedom isn't the only thing Jason Trawick gained after breaking up with Britney Spears -- and he's not tripping one bit ... proudly showing off his new gut during a weekend pizza run in Hollywood.

Oh yeah, he got Popeye's too.

Spears and Trawick -- her former agent -- famously started dating in 2010 and were engaged the following year. Barely a year after that, they were single again.

What a waist.

As for the pizza ... our own Gary says, "All fat guys know ... you never eat the pizza out of the box right outside the store. C'mon man."

4:28 PM PT -- Jason just responded on Twitter with a big belly photo, writing, "Thanks @tmz I needed this. Started my diet/workout program today. C u in a month!"

You're welcome ... but a month's pretty ambitious.

Forget supermodel butt washer ... there's a new best job in the world ... SUPERMODEL BOOB HOLDER.

And just in time too -- Maryna Linchuk nearly suffered a wardrobe emergency on the beach over the weekend in St. Barts ... stripping out of her bikini and into another outfit ... and her loyal boob-covering attendant jumped to the rescue. No nip slips here! Unfortunately.

Brad Pitt's enlisted a military style haircut, but it's not just for a movie role -- BP now says there's another, more vain, reason for the new 'do.

Pitt cruised into LAX on Sunday looking like he was heading to basic training -- sporting a high and tight fade ... telling paps, "It's fashion, baby."

Truth is Brad's also shooting a World War 2 drama called "Fury" -- but does it really matter?

"Sleepy Hollow" star Nicole Beharie is begging for a lawsuit ... so says her stylist, who tells TMZ, she's on the brink of taking the actress to court after Beharie stiffed her on a HUGE styling bill.

Sharone Blades tells us ... Beharie hired her to style the actress for a Television Critics Association event Monday ... and agreed to pay $5,000.

Sharone says she did a bang-up job and Nicole loved her dress ... but has only forked over $2,000. Sharone says she confronted Nicole ... who countered by saying she didn't like the dress after all.

WWE Diva Brie Bella's bachelorette party wasn't filled with muscular dudes thrusting their junk in her face ... it was packed with a bunch of hairy chicks instead.

Brie and her sister Nikki Bella celebrated Saturday night at Prep Kitchen in San Diego ... and judging by the photos, some of the bridal party enjoyed the fake beards a little too much -- we're looking at you four-eyes.

Brie's wedding to WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan -- who also has a giant beard -- is expected to be filmed for the second season of their reality show, "Total Divas."

Cate Blanchett's face has a curious case of the "Benjamin Button."

Here's the the 29-year-old "Elizabeth" actress at a premiere back in 1998 (left) -- and 16 years later, the flawless 44-year-old "Lord of the Rings" face at a Beverly Hills hotel last week (right).

Rihanna blew her top again yesterday -- and this time, the singer stripped down to just her bikini bottoms on the beach in Brazil ... in front of lots and lots of people.

Rihanna wasn't just getting naked for fun though -- not like she's opposed to it -- she was posing in a fashion shoot for Vogue magazine, which apparently continues to do God's work. Keep it up, folks.

Gotta love Brazil ... or as we like to call it, NO BRA-zil.

Sean Penn and Robin Wright both flaunted their post-divorce lovers all over Hollywood over the weekend -- giving us the perfect chance to play everyone's fave game: Who'd You Rather?

Special rebound edition!

It was the BATTLE OF THE REBOUNDS in Hollywood last night ... with Sean Penn and his ex-wife Robin Wright each hitting the town with their new hot significant others -- but who came out on top?

Robin hit up RivaBella on Sunset with her "Lone Survivor" fiance Ben Foster -- he's attractive.

Sean went to his Help Haiti Home gala with new rumored GF Charlize Theron -- she's also attractive.

It's been almost 3 years since Sean and Robin finalized their divorce, but you KNOW they're judging each other's rebounds ... because that's what exes do.

So, we gotta ask ...

It's pretty ironic ... "Bold and the Beautiful" star Victor Alfieri -- famous for his flowing locks -- claims he was attacked with a hairbrush ... and now he wants protection from the perp.

Alfieri has just got a restraining order against 47-year-old Christopher Veech, who lives with Alfieri's neighbor. According to docs, Veech beat him in the face last month with a hairbrush ... and has relentlessly harassed him for more than a year and threatened to put him in the hospital.

According to Alfieri, Veech was arrested for battery but released a day later ... and the harassment never stopped.

Alfieri doesn't explain why there's such animosity, but he does say the right side of his face still hurts like a bitch and his right eye now twitches.

Here's the problem. The judge granted the restraining order, but can't order Veech to stay far away because he lives in Alfieri's building. So the order is that Veech must stay 3 YARDS away.

A few times she's been around this track ... but she ain't no pregnant fat girl, she ain't no pregnant fat girl!

Gwen Stefani stepped out for lunch Friday in Beverly Hills at Mr. Chow ... and despite being several months pregnant -- with her third chld -- the singer still looked extremely do-able.

Hey baby, hey baby.

Cameron Diaz is not down with hair loss of the vagina -- at least not permanently -- and she wants women everywhere to be ready when the big bush era returns.

Apparently men don't get a vote on this issue.

Paula Abdul is seeing red -- that's because she looked down and saw her leg burned to a crisp, and now she's suing the tanning salon that she claims scorched her to a faretheewell.

Paula claims in her lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- she went to UVASUN in L.A. back in 2012. She bought a SlimStar infrared body wrap treatment and then apparently went into the tanning bed.

When she came out ... she claims she suffered gross burns over her body, an "especially severe second or third degree burn on a portion of [her] left thigh."

Paula uses her legs to make a living ... come on, she's a dancer.

TMZ has obtained some pretty explosive internal emails and texts between BET execs, who candidly admit they ordered a transgender host to change his clothes during its big awards pre-show because he looked like a chick.

B. Scott is suing the network, claiming he was ordered to 86 his flowing blue tunic, black pants, hair, makeup and heels because they wanted him to look more like a man, even though they knew he was a transgender person.

During last year's BET Awards pre-show ... Scott appeared in his garb in the first segment but claims he was then ordered to change his clothes and remove his makeup ... he obliged but was never put back on the air.

BET Music Programming Prez Stephen Hill wrote a pointed email before the show ... "I don't want 'looking like a woman B Scott.' I want tempered B Scott."
Network VP Rhonda Cowan offered help, "I can speak to him about being less 'womanly.'"

BET had a potential public relations disaster on its hands ... because B. Scott went ballistic after being told to change clothes. BET producer Stephanie Hodges wrote an email shortly after the broadcast, confessing, "He got upset and said he was going to blow this s**t up and call GLAAD."

BET has said it "embraces global diversity" and regrets unintentionally offending anyone in the LGBT community.

But we got an email showing the network was far more cunning. It's from BET honcho Monique Ware:

"The spin should be he was late for a live show and subsequently replaced and it would have been awkward in a live show to have the person assuming his role removed and him inserted." It seems she's saying it would be weird for him to come back on the air as a man.

Ware goes on ... "Unless we can make public the reason we didn't want him dressed the way he normally does, I would stay away from suits, suit selections, etc."

In the various email and text exchanges ... BET execs say Scott had been drinking, was unruly, had shown up late, and was wearing garments that were not pre-approved.

We reached out to BET ... so far no word back.

Michelle Rodriguez upstaged the NY Knicks from her courtside seats by drunkenly posing for ridiculous selfies ... and snuggling up to smoking hot model Cara Delevingne.

Michelle was all over Cara -- and looked totally out of it -- while putting on what has to be the greatest party chick clinic in NBA history last night at Madison Square Garden.

It's unclear if Michelle -- who's proudly stated going "both ways" in the past -- scored after the game ... but click through the gallery.

Looks to us like Michelle put in enough work to earn some overtime.

Oh, the Knicks won the game. But who cares?
