Pete Davidson and his newly revealed girlfriend are not wasting any time packing on the PDA ... because we just got hot shots of them together getting super-steamy on the beach.

Pete and Elsie Hewitt were photographed getting hot and heavy in Palm Beach, Florida just one day after it was revealed they're officially seeing each other. The "Saturday Night Live" alum was trying hard to keep his new relationship under wraps ... but that didn't last long.

Pete has a track record of dating Hollywood hotties ... and his newest squeeze is no different. Elsie, a well-known model, has been linked to Benny Blanco and Jason Sudeikis in the past.

Pete Davidson's got a new girlfriend ... and, it sounds like she'll be totally comfortable around some of his famous acquaintances -- 'cause she's actually dated them, too!

TMZ has confirmed Pete's dating Elsie Hewitt -- a model and actress with a few big-time credits to her name -- after Daily Mail published photos of the two frolicking in the cool ocean waves together.

Pete and Elsie locked lips and held hands ... with Pete's back tattoos visible, and nearly every inch of Hewitt's body on display.

D.L. Hughley is all in on Don Lemon's take, saying he agrees -- you can be Black and Republican, but supporting MAGA? That's a no-go.

We caught up with D.L. on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and he didn’t hold back -- saying Black people know they'll be tokenized, especially since Trump’s just using Black voters, trotting them out when it suits him ... like when Stephen A. Smith claimed Black people relate to Trump because of his felony convictions.

Catch the video ... D.L. dives deeper into his examples, noting how the Prez uses marginalized groups to sanitize his stances.

Tracy Morgan's medical emergency Monday night all stemmed from some bad grub he had eaten earlier in the day.

The comedian said in an Instagram post Tuesday morning he projectile vomited all over the Madison Square Garden floor during the Knicks vs. Heat game because he was dealing with food poisoning.

It's unclear what he ingested to cause the ailment -- but Morgan fans can breathe a bit easier knowing the issue wasn't anything more sinister.

Seems Madison Square Garden officials believe Tracy Morgan sustained a true medical emergency at Monday night's Knicks game ... as a rep for the arena tells TMZ Sports they will welcome him back when he feels better.

The comedian got sick during the second half of New York's tilt with the Miami Heat -- vomiting so hard onto MSG's floor, he actually caused a delay in the game's action.

Some had wondered on X if he had been overserved or perhaps had eaten some bad food -- but in a statement on Tuesday morning, an MSG rep sure seemed to indicate it was a bit more serious when they said they would happily host him again despite the unfortunate scene.

Jay Leno doesn't just bring comedic firepower to any place he shows up ... he's bringing literal firepower, too -- 'cause he rolled around the L.A. streets in a freaking tank!

The comedian was caught by a couple locals driving slowly down a residential street ... with his head popping out the beast. Unclear if its the real deal or a ride tricked out to look like a tank -- but he's steering it like a pro, regardless.

It's outfitted with a massive gun ... though we doubt Jay could actually conquer any territories with it. However, it's certainly intimidating -- even if Leno isn't since he pulled over to have a fun convo with the dudes filming him.

All good things don’t come in threes -- well, according to Farrah Abraham, who made her stand-up comedy debut in NYC with a cheeky "throuple" joke.

We’ve got a clip of her best bits -- Farrah was flexing her comedy chops onstage at the New York Spearmint Rhino Gentlemen's Club Thursday as she joked about everything from her dating life to court hearings, took a few jabs at the haters ... and even threw in some political humor for good measure.

Farrah pulled out all the stops -- literally -- throwing cash at the sold-out crowd. And, we’re told some fans even flew in from out of town just to snag the $250 meet-and-greet package, which included a lap dance and a photo.

Farrah Abraham is just one day away from making her big career switch to comedy ... and she's been getting tips from some seasoned pros in the game!

We caught up with Farrah in between rehearsals for her big stand-up debut at the Spearmint Rhino New York -- which, BTW, includes a lap dance for VIP ticketholders -- and she revealed a major 'SNL' comedian is swinging by to show some love.

Catch the clip -- 'cause while she’s keeping the 'SNL' name under wraps, she’s spilling on the other big industry insiders showing up … including a costar from her "Teen Mom" roots.

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.
