A GoFundMe page for the 2-year-old dog shot and killed by an LAPD officer has soared to over $100,000 in donations.

As we reported ... the dog, Jameson, was shot to death when cops responded to his owner's home after a concerned neighbor heard a woman screaming after the New York Knicks won the NBA Finals.

LAPD says the dog charged at them, and that's why an officer pulled the trigger ... but his owner, Marie Marseille, claims her dog wasn't doing anything wrong.

Ashlee Jenae's fiancé is turning his pain into purpose ... Joe McCann tells us he's begun the process of setting up a foundation in Ashlee's honor.

According to Joe, the foundation will be a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to preventing self-harm and helping people who have thoughts of self-harm.

Joe says he felt inspired to help others after Ashlee -- whose real name is Ashly Robinson -- tragically took her own life during their April getaway to Zanzibar.

Matt Damon spent some quality time with a few four-legged friends searching for forever homes ... meeting with a group of rescue dogs at a famous animal rescue center founded by Clint Eastwood's daughter.

The Oscar winner recently appeared in The Dodo's "Dream Date" series at Eastwood Ranch Foundation in Agoura Hills, CA where he got to know several adoptable pups with big personalities.

The video follows Matt as he spends time with each dog ... playing, cuddling, and learning their stories along the way.

Among the cute pups ... Jojo, an endlessly playful dog, Piper, a deaf and blind sweetheart, Duke, a Doberman with a serious love of toys, and Betsy, an affectionate pit bull who's been waiting more than 18 months for a family to choose her.

Madonna may be a pop legend, but she hasn't forgotten where she's come from.

She's teaming up with loyalty program Bilt, and together they are covering one month of studio rent for all musicians who are currently leasing space at The Music Building in Manhattan.

Madonna herself used to play in that same rehearsal facility ... and it's where she started shaping her music career back in the 70s.

Sam Asghari is turning up the temperature and using his platform for something bigger than thirst traps ... and the internet is already sweating!

The actor and fitness stud just teamed up with MISTR, the nation's largest provider of free online PrEP and long-term HIV care, for a campaign that's equal parts steamy and seriously meaningful.

And the pics? Let's just say ... Sam understood the assignment. We're talking flexed arms, chiseled abs, and minimalist styling (yep, that towel is putting in overtime 👀) ... all giving fantasy shoot energy with a playful edge.

Meghan Markle is giving back to her community in a meaningful way ... making a surprise visit to Children's Hospital Los Angeles to spend time with young patients.

The Duchess of Sussex stopped by Thursday and joined young patients for watercolor painting ... while also spending time with patients who couldn’t leave their rooms to take part in the activity.

Photos from the visit show Meghan wearing a tan sweater and white pants with a black facemask ... and she's clearly enjoying her time with patients and staff.

Tyrese Gibson is honoring his pal’s legacy in the fast lane ... announcing nearly $1 million has been raised in honor of his late "Fast & Furious" costar Paul Walker's charity.

Tyrese hit the stage with Paul's brother Cody at FuelFest in West Palm Beach, FL, over the weekend ... telling the 20,000-plus crowd that Paul’s nonprofit, Reach Out WorldWide, had officially surpassed the $1M milestone.

TMZ has learned that Tyrese got a little bit ahead of it ... but they have nearly reached $1 million! The org is confident they’ll cross the full mark by year’s end ... after seven years of steady fundraising.

Hollywood continues to rally around Eric Dane's family in a major way following his death and Hailey Bieber just made one of the biggest moves.

The model and beauty mogul quietly dropped $20K into a GoFundMe set up to support Dane's loved ones following his death after a battle with ALS.

Hailey isn't the only high-profile name stepping up financially. Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Brad Falchuk, donated $10K. Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary contributed $5K, while Disney president Dana Walden also gave $5K. Producer Randall Emmett, known for his past relationship with Lala Kent, matched Falchuk with a $10K donation.

A pair of GoFundMe campaigns for TJ Sabula have collectively received more than $350,000 for the suspended Ford worker ... all within 24 hours of him calling President Donald Trump a "pedophile protector" to Trump's face.

FYI ... TJ hurled the insult at 47 during the president's visit to a Ford manufacturing plant in Michigan on Tuesday ... and POTUS responded with a concise "f*** you" and flipped off Sabula.

TJ later said he doesn't have any regrets about it, although he is concerned about his future job prospects, as Ford suspended him without pay.

This is where the GoFundMe campaigns come in ... one campaign's organizer -- who described herself as a "longtime personal friend" of TJ's family -- set a goal of $10,000 for her campaign ... which has since received more than $100,000 in donations.

That campaign's funds will apparently go directly to help TJ and his family cover expenses in the aftermath.

The other GoFundMe campaign was organized with a loftier goal of $250,000 ... and it's since raised more than $270,000 for the suspended worker.

Taylor Swift is honoring her father after his heart surgery by making a seven-figure gift to the American Heart Association.

The AHA announced Taylor's $1 million donation Tuesday, saying she "gave her gift in honor of her father, Scott Swift, whose heart condition she spoke about earlier this year."

TMZ broke the story ... Scott underwent quintuple bypass surgery this summer, and Taylor and her brother, Austin, were right by their dad's side throughout the surgery and recovery.

Lil Baby and Lil Yachty added prime fuel to the "F The Streets" movement sparked by 21 Savage's rant last week ... by joining their charitable forces for a Christmas giveaway in their hometown!!!

Baby partnered his org, The Jones Project Inc., with The Lil Yachty Foundation for a full-scale holiday takeover in Atlanta’s West End on Sunday that brought out more than 2,000 youth and families for the festivities!!!

Milana Vayntrub is known for two things ... being the former face of AT&T's Lily Adams commercials, and her rack ... and she used both to raise a bunch of money for folks reeling from the Los Angeles wildfires.

The actress joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and told us how she used some tastefully risqué photos to donate more than $500,000 for Altadena fire relief.

Milana says she was brainstorming ways to help victims back in January when a light bulb went off ... she would offer her fans sexy photos of her body in exchange for relief donations ... starting at one photo for $69 -- a "funny number," she says.

Another year, another successful “Shaq-A-Claus” event for Shaquille O’Neal ... but the NBA legend says it’s his mission to make the annual shindig even bigger, telling TMZ Sports he wants to have a 50-state “Shaq-A-Thon” in the future!

The Hall of Famer chopped it up with Courtney and Babcock on "TMZ Live" from Georgia, where they were treating hundreds of kids to a boat-load of free toys and experiences for the holidays.

Reggae star Shenseea recently joined the Hurricane Melissa relief effort in a major way -- with one of the largest artist-led relief efforts in Jamaica, which she personally funded!!!

We obtained several pics of the Grammy-nominated singer on deck in the heart of the devastation areas, coordinating the distribution of the 5,000 relief packages she had sent to her homeland.

Shenseea hails from St. Elizabeth and began the relief efforts there ... where they issued food, clean water, shelter materials, household items, and essential supplies to citizens in need.

Grey/Ven CEO Scott Weissman opened up his home to host the fashion company's third annual Miami Art Week Bash ... and we're told that the star-studded event raised $20K so far to aid some of the Palisades/Malibu wildfire's toughest first responders!!!

We're hearing the party was well-attended and lasted until 4 AM ... Cuba Gooding Jr., Lil Pump, designer Ugo Mozie, and crypto czar Michael Terpin were just a handful of the who's who on the guest list.

Weissman posted up for a flick with super producer Scott Storch and DJ Brooke Brazelton, who spun on the turntables alongside Willy Monfret.

It's a kickass card, but UFC 323 may not be the biggest event featuring combat stars this weekend ... 'cause big-time streamer N3on is linking up with Jon Jones, Alex Pereira, and a gang of other badass fighters for Telegram's Gift Drop!

"A bunch of fighters are going to be a part of [the drop]," N3on told Babcock, announcing the big collab with Telegram. "I've streamed with a bunch of people, but like you said, these are real stars coming in."

And he ain't lyin'.
