Mike Epps has been in show business a long time, and unlike the magnitude of people who haven't, he doesn't think Odell Beckham Jr. was out of pocket explaining how he blew through his $100 million NFL fortune!!!

The Pro Bowl WR recently went on "The Pivot Podcast," admitting how fast his 5-year, $100 million contract vanished without a trace before he even knew the spending was out of control.

We recently caught up with Mike at the StampX event for national signing day, and he tells TMZ that one's lifestyle can easily overlap and eventually OVERPOWER the money if it's flowing in big and fast.

The Game gave TMZ Hip Hop the inside scoop on his controversially titled upcoming track "The Assassination of Candace Owens" and the political pundit is welcoming the rollout with open arms -- unlike when Eminem gave her a shoutout!!!

Candace rewatched our interview on the latest episode of her podcast on Wednesday and accepted Game's reasoning for the shock labeling -- after all, she spent much of the broadcast doubling down on claims that hits were being placed on her life -- all the way from Europe.

Game also told us he wasn't scared of any of Candace's backlash, which humored her but she admitted Game's tracklist was the utmost flattery and asked him to plug her podcast, noting they only have 1 degree of separation -- Kanye West.

Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando look like they can't wait to walk down the aisle, because they can't keep their hands off each other ... packing on some PDA and flashing her engagement ring.

Check out these new photos of the newly engaged couple ... Miley and Maxx are kissing and embracing on the streets of Los Angeles before he hits the road with his rock band, Liily.

Miley and Maxx got in some final affection Tuesday night after his show at The Fonda Theatre ... when the hugs and smooches ceased, Maxx piled into his tour van with his bandmates as they set off up the California coast for a final batch of shows on their tour.

Celebs ... they’re just like us -- but only on their off days. Case in point: Doja Cat rolled out looking low-key as hell before popping up fully glammed like it never happened!

Check out these shots of Doja on Wednesday ... leaving her hotel in Sydney, Australia in a red bonnet and a casual crop top, rocking a full-on scowl as she stepped out into the world.

Look, Sydney’s in peak summer mode -- so maybe that scowl was just the sun frying her eyeballs ... or, LBR, she probably did not wanna be caught slipping like that.

Lizzo's Instagram name is apt ... because "Lizzobeeating" ate up all the haters online -- viciously tearing into people who are still making jokes about her appearance.

The singer-songwriter took to Instagram Thursday to vent her frustrations ... explaining she saw a fat joke about her go viral recently -- and, she wants to remind her fans not to let anyone shame them about what they choose to do with their bodies.

Lizzo writes, "Because when you’re big they talk sh*t, when you’re small they talk sh*t. Your body will never be good enough for them because it’s not FOR them. It’s for you. If I get a BBL mind ur business , if lose 100lbs mind ur business, if I gain every pound back and then some… mind ur f***ing business."

Chelsea Lazkani’s ex, Jeff Lazkani, has hit his breaking point -- telling TMZ he’s done taking heat after two years of nonstop hate, swearing he and Chelsea were long separated way before those "Selling Sunset" cheating rumors started flying.

Jeff tells TMZ that S8 of the Netflix hit was built on a shaky foundation -- a random text from a total stranger claiming he made out with another woman at a hotel back in Dec 2023 -- a storyline he says turned him into a villain.

Jeff categorically denies the whole storyline ... telling us both he and Chelsea tried to make their marriage work, but their love story eventually ran its course.

One thing about Khloe Kardashian ... she does not fear the X-rated -- and yep, she went straight for it, handing out festive-season relationship tips that somehow turned into blowie talk!

Halle Berry went scorched earth on Gavin Newsom during Wednesday's New York Times' DealBook Summit, calling out the California governor for vetoing a menopause bill while also crapping on his aspirations to potentially become the next president.

The Academy Award-winning actress took the stage at the NYT event to give a speech about menopause, during which she pointed out Newsom had vetoed California's menopause bill two years in a row.

Berry didn't hold back, telling the packed crowd ... "But that's okay, because he's not going to be governor forever, and with the way he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt are already showering their future child with love ... judging by the adorable photos the model shared from their elaborate baby shower.

The shots, taken at Jean's in NYC, display the expecting couple loving on each other in the candlelit room and going through the mound of gifts loved ones bestowed upon them.

The private estate sits on nearly half an acre and clocks in at over 5,700 square feet, with 4 bedrooms, 5 baths, and the kind of hillside views that justify the price tag.

It was the meeting of the former prime ministers Thursday when Justin Trudeau and his girlfriend Katy Perry had lunch with Fumio Kishida and his wife Yuko ... as Katy winds down the Japanese leg of her world tour.

Fumio -- who was Prime Minister of Japan from 2021-2024 -- posted pics of the double date along with the caption ... "We met many times during my time as Prime Minister, and we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the Japan-Canada Action Plan when he visited Canada."

Seeing as how the 2 former national leaders were already well-acquainted, it seems safe to say they may have been more excited about meeting Katy. Look at those smiles!

Kylie Jenner can finally breathe again ... 'cause she just revealed she turned to stem cell therapy after dealing with nonstop back pain for three years following her son’s birth.

In an IG post from a hospital bed Wednesday, Kylie said nothing she tried ever touched the pain -- until she took inspo from Kim Kardashian’s success with a similar treatment, and he linked up with Dr. Adeel Khan ... and says she couldn’t be more grateful.

She also dropped a couple of extra pics -- one showing two bandages on her lower back post-procedure, and another posing with Dr. Khan at Eterna Health.

Check out the clip -- the SKIMS founder says the rapper called her out in front of a room full of people, alleging she faked the terrifying incident "for a TV show." She compares the situation to being stabbed with a knife to the heart.
