Comedian Bill Burr is doubling down on his billionaire beef -- and it’s not just Elon Musk he's throwing shade at, 'cause he’s also roasting liberals for being way too sensitive about him.

On NPR’s "Fresh Air" podcast, Bill went off about a "select few group of nerds" battling it out to be the richest person on Earth, "eating raw almonds and doing their stupid workouts," and politicizing everything -- and when asked to clarify whom, he didn’t hold back, exclaiming, "That idiot Elon Musk!"

Bill said Elon "evidently is a Nazi," adding of his recent controversial inauguration salute, "I refuse to believe it was an accidental two-time Sieg Heil. And he does it at a presidential inauguration!"

12:52 PM PT -- Odell Beckham Jr. just released a more formal statement on the matter on his X page ... claiming there is "absolutely no truth" to the new allegations made against him in Ashley Parham's amended complaint.

"I was not anywhere near Orinda, CA at that time," he said. "In fact, I don't think I have ever even been to Orinda, CA. I have never done anything like that, and I would never do anything like that to anyone. I'm confident that these ridiculous claims against me will be dismissed."

A woman is now alleging Odell Beckham Jr. was one of several men who raped her alongside Diddy during a violent 2018 encounter ... but the rap mogul's legal team is calling BS on the allegations -- and so is the NFL superstar, who says they're straight up "stupid."

Kai Cenat said Kevin Hart's got the height of a leprechaun ... and TMZ Sports got an immediate response from the man himself -- with Hart telling Cenat to go "f*** himself!!"

We caught up with the comedian out on the streets of NYC shortly after Cenat hopped on "First Take" with Stephen A. Smith ... an appearance in which the ESPN talent compared Kai's athletic ability to Hart's.

The streamer did not take the notion too kindly ... saying, "You just compared me to that little leprechaun? Kevin Hart? Are you serious?"

Pete Davidson and Colin Jost were never in a feud ... but Pete definitely regrets how he behaved in the past before he went to rehab and got clean -- so he bought CJ a very fancy gift to apologize.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... reports, including the initial one from The U.S. Sun, claiming Pete and Colin had become enemies, were way overblown -- and that was not the reason PD gifted Jost a $20,000 Cartier watch.

The real reason for the swanky timepiece is Pete wanted to offer a mea culpa -- or as Pete would likely say, "My bad, dawg" -- for his behavior prior to checking into rehab.

Conan O'Brien's well-landed joke halfway through Sunday night's Oscars -- about Kendrick Lamar calling Drake a pedophile -- was nearly left in comedy purgatory, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Hip Hop.

Last night, Conan used a commercial break return to poke fun at the halftime cue for Kendrick to shade Drake, in a nod to rap's biggest moment last year, and last month's Super Bowl show (see below) ... but we're hearing both the Academy and ABC had strong reservations about getting the joke in, and pushed back in fear of how the crowd would react.

One particular producer made the case and fought the powers, because they firmly believed in the joke. Whether good or bad, the gag was bound to have a big, audible reception!!!

Paloma Diamond* -- the super famous Hollywood actress -- suffered another disappointing loss at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, marking her 20th Oscar nomination gone up in flames.

TMZ caught up with the sad-eyed Paloma outside NYC's iconic Dakota apartment building, where John Lennon was fatally shot in 1980 (yikes!), to grill the film sensation on what went wrong for the umpteenth time at the Oscars.

Well, at first, Paloma tried to stay mum on the ugly sitch, but we pressed her until she finally spilled her guts ... telling us the Academy needs to "look into itself," when it comes to voting. And, she gave the Academy even more hell, but you'll have to watch the clip to catch it all.

Shane Gillis had some familiar faces in the crowd for "Saturday Night Live" this weekend ... as San Francisco 49ers stars Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk were present for his hosting gig.

Kittle posted the trio's NYC adventure to his Instagram page on Sunday night ... sharing some behind-the-scenes flicks from Studio 8H -- including a selfie with Mike Myers, who played Elon Musk in the episode.

The group also posed together for a picture on the iconic stage ... and despite Shane rocking a Philadelphia Eagles hat -- who beat the 49ers in the 2023 NFC Championship game -- the guys were all smiles.

Conan O'Brien's clearly not afraid of ruffling some feathers at the Academy Awards ... 'cause he took a shot at Karla Sofía Gascón during his monologue -- reminding everyone about her controversial tweets.

The famous talk show host took the stage Sunday night and delivered a speech full of jokes about some of Hollywood's biggest players ... including a shot at Timothée Chalamet's bright yellow suit and a spoof of "The Substance" where he climbed out of Demi Moore's skin.

In the middle of all that, Conan joked that "Anora" features the f-word and variations of it 479 times ... which is just three more than the number Gascón's publicist used after she found out about Karla's tweets.

"Saturday Night Live" wasted no time tackling the explosive Oval Office shouting match between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ... and Mike Myers made a surprise cameo.

The show's cold open spoofed last week's infamous Oval Office meeting between Trump, Zelensky and J.D. Vance when they were discussing a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine when things got heated.

The bit began with Mikey Day, who played Zelensky and James Austin Johnson as Trump. The fake Trump introduces himself as "President and CEO of Gaza Hotel and Casino." He says ... "I’d like to welcome President Zelensky to this incredible trap."

A 911 alarm call at Adam Devine’s Los Angeles home quickly turned into a real-life scare for one of the responding police officers who took a dramatic fall at the property ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops rushed to the actor's home shortly after 2 PM Monday when his alarm system was triggered.

We're told officers conducted a thorough search of the property, but ultimately found no evidence of a break-in or any signs of an attempted forced entry.

Gabriel Iglesias is all in for Conan O’Brien’s Oscars debut this weekend, saying there’s no better man for the mic -- he’s the one to keep the show in check!

We caught up with Gabriel in NYC, and he addressed jokes falling flat in previous years on the big stage, assuring us there’s no need to worry this time -- Conan's a total pro when it comes to keeping the crowd laughing.

Catch the clip -- Gabriel goes deeper into how the Oscars gig has been a long time coming, but reiterates Coco is definitely the man for the job.

Jay Leno is responding to Monica Lewinsky’s claims that he went especially hard on her after her affair with Bill Clinton hit the headlines in the '90s.

Sources close to Jay tell TMZ he didn’t target Monica personally back then -- he says she was just an easy punchline and fair game, since she was everywhere in the news at the time.

Addressing Monica's claims from Tuesday's "Call Her Daddy" interview with Alex Cooper, sources say Jay wouldn’t call it unfair -- she was often the butt of the jokes, but no one was out to get her personally. It's just that, in comedy, sometimes people get hurt.

Hilaria Baldwin's standing by her man -- after a Trump impersonator tried to get under Alec's skin, it's Hilaria who chased the guy down the street ... according to the troll himself.

We got comedian Jason Scoop Tuesday in NYC, where his harassing confrontation of Alec went down, and went viral after he posted it. If ya missed it, Scoop hurled over-the-top zingers at Alec while impersonating Donald Trump Sunday night, provoking a furious response in which the actor threatened to snap the comic's neck.

But, Scoop claims one of the wildest parts of his interaction on the street wasn't caught on camera. He says after Alec erupted over Scoop's jabs about the "Rust" shooting death of Halyna Hutchins, Hilaria came swooping in to protect her hubby.

Justin Bieber and Dave Chappelle enjoyed a relaxing night on the town together ... catching up over a smoke break.

The singer and comedy legend were photographed together at Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood on Saturday night. The guys were seen sitting on the outside patio catching up while Justin took a smoke break.

It's unclear if the best friends were at the bar alone or with a group. At one point, JB was seen hugging another person who was arriving to the bar.

Rachael Kirkconnell's got a new man in her life ... it's the Brawny dude -- and, she says it's finally someone she feels she can rely on.

"The Bachelor" alum is starring in a new ad for the paper towel giant ... and, she kicks it off by taking a shot at her ex -- saying she's cooking from home now because she doesn't have to pick out the perfect dinner spot anymore.

Remember, Rachael says she and Matt James got into a massive fight when a restaurant she picked wasn't up to his standards ... and, now she says she's free of that obligation.

Sure, it might not be as valuable as the T206 Honus Wagner or a 1956 Mickey Mantle, but Topps' '25 signed Larry David card, which just sold for over 10 racks at auction, is MUCH COOLER!

The one-of-one card features a photo of the "Seinfeld" creator and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star from a classic episode of 'Curb,' "Mister Softee" ... where David's wearing his "Yari’s Autonomics" softball uniform (very apropos).

Fans of the show will remember Larry making a Bill Buckner-type error, costing Yari's the championship.
