It's been 12 months since Tom Brady let his friends roast him for a Netflix special, but he's still beating himself up over it ... openly admitting it was a "f*** up" to sign up for the event.

Brady, of course, let his pals throw barbs his way for nearly three hours in May 2024 ... but he admitted once more this week the jokes over his divorce with Gisele Bundchen really hurt his family.

The NFL's GOAT told Logan Paul on the latest episode of "Impaulsive" his kids were super upset over some of the jabs -- and it frankly ruined his whole roast experience.

Stars traveled a whole lotta furlongs to be at the Kentucky Derby this weekend ... dressed to impress at the biggest event in horseracing!

Livvy Dunne led the bold-faced names at Churchill Downs in Louisville Saturday ... showing off her tan lines in a chic black and white outfit. Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Birkhead showed up in a soft blue dress and a necklace her mom used to wear, and Carmelo Anthony wore a snazzy hat to the event.

Power couple Alix Earle and Braxton Berrios walked the red carpet together ... Earle proving nothing beats the classic black while Braxton added a splash of color in an eye-catching pink blazer.

Martin Lawrence has big plans for his developing "Martin" spin-off starring Tommy Davidson but sorry, longtime fans ... the adventures of Sheneneh are over!!!

TMZ caught up with the "Bad Boys" franchise star at LAX on Thursday afternoon and he guaranteed "Varnell Hill" on BET+ will be a riot!!!

"Martin" is arguably the favorite African-American sitcom ever, and Davidson left his mark with just 2 episodes on the '90s series ... but not more than the show's nosy neighbor Sheneneh Jenkins!!!

Walton Goggins isn't scheduled to host "Saturday Night Live" until next week ... but, he's getting some facetime with one of the show's stars -- who got a deep inhale of his bikini undies onstage.

The actor attended Cultured Magazine's The Cult 100 in New York City Thursday night, where he was honored as one of 100 stars who are "actively shaping and changing our culture in real time" ... and, Chloe Fineman of 'SNL' fame paid him humorous tribute onstage.

Of course, Fineman brought her comedic flair to the event ... wearing an elegant white dress -- and stripping off a yellow Speedo from underneath her dress while walking up to the stage.

Actress and comedian Ruth Buzzi, best known for starring in the NBC variety sketch comedy show "Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In," has died.

Ruth's official Facebook page shared the news of her death early Friday morning, announcing she died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas on Thursday while in hospice care.

She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2012 and was disabled from a stroke in 2022, which her husband, Kent Perkins, confirmed at the time.

Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson aren't gonna be able to sweep their dumpster fire interview under the rug ... 'cause the couple's CBS sit-down got the Hollywood treatment on John Mulaney's Netflix show.

The hilarious segment happened on Wednesday's "Everybody's Live" ... with Richard Kind taking on the role of the legendary coach -- and Fran Gillespie portraying his polarizing girlfriend.

The whole thing kicked off just over 10 minutes into the episode ... with Kind decked out in a cutoff, ragged crewneck and Gillespie in a grey sweatshirt.

Shedeur Sanders getting clowned during the NFL Draft is the prank call heard around the world ... but one of the most legendary telephone jokesters says it's a subject they would've never touched!

TMZ Sports spoke with Johnny Brennan -- creator of The Jerky Boys -- about the viral call ... and while he admits he doesn't think it was that big of a deal (and kinda funny), he explains why the JB's steered clear of draft day content.

Brennan says a reason their legendary conversations were so popular is they were never mean-spirited ... and often talked about absurd scenarios.

Jon Cryer's relationship with Charlie Sheen hasn't always been smooth ... but, if he had to choose him or President Donald Trump to have their finger on the nuclear button, he says he's taking President Sheen every time.

The veteran actor stopped by the "The MeidasTouch Podcast," and he was asked about a comment he made years ago ... comparing then-candidate Trump to Charlie in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election.

Cryer said, "I have been pointing out, and I have been screaming to the rooftops, that Donald Trump is the Charlie Sheen of politics … I have to tell you, I love Charlie Sheen, I loved working with him when he was sober, but he was, he's full of s***. He has been full of s***, he has serious addiction. His addiction is obviously serious, drugs, but Trump is just addicted to feeling important."

The No. 1 basketball breakdown show in America may have been marred by a No. 2 on Monday night ... as Shaquille O'Neal had to bolt from the "Inside The NBA" set over a bathroom emergency.

The hilarious scene all played out following the Clippers' playoff game with the Nuggets ... as Shaq, Ernie Johnson, Kenny "The Jet" Smith and Charles Barkley were on-air chatting about L.A.'s big win.

Mid-conversation, out of nowhere, O'Neal got up from his chair and began to waddle away from the quartet's dais.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Matt Strahm's new glove is quite the "National Treasure" ... 'cause the reliever leaned all the way into his Nicolas Cage comparisons by getting a custom Declaration of Independence mitt!!

Folks online have considered Strahmy to be Cage's doppelgänger over the years ... and the 33-year-old certainly doesn't seem to mind it one bit with his latest personalized accessory.

Of course, Cage's Ben Gates famously steals the important piece of paper in an elaborate heist in the classic Disney movie ... and his line, "I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence" has become quite the meme with internet users.

"The White Lotus" star Aimee Lou Wood says she's "had apologies from 'SNL'" for a skit making fun of her teeth -- but we've learned the sketch comedy show has done no such thing, although the staff was very fond of her on set.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... "Saturday Night Live" did not reach out to Aimee with a formal apology.

We're told Aimee may have spoken to someone she knows on the show and they may have apologized, but no such apology came down from 'SNL' in any official or formal capacity.

Damon Wayans crushing on his nephew’s ex isn’t the wild part -- dude’s got a whole family history of being a "steal yo girl" type, at least if you ask his brother Marlon.

Yup, you heard that right -- and trust, TMZ had to double-check too -- We caught up with Marlon at LAX and he straight-up called out Damon for having a thing for his relatives’ girlfriends ... even looking dead into the camera and telling his bro to quit it already.

You’ve gotta watch the clip -- it’s hilarious. Marlon totally roasts Damon, calling him a "girlfriend-stealing bandit" and reminding him of the obvious -- bro, you don’t do that to family.

"Saturday Night Live" spoofed the "White Lotus" after an absolutely shocking season finale -- but with a Donald Trump "White Potus" twist as his unclear tariff rollout even has some of his supporters skeptical.

The pre-taped sketch on last night's 'SNL' starts off with Chloe Fineman portraying Melania Trump, but with a southern accent that mirrors Parker Posey's "White Lotus" character, Victoria Ratliff.

The sketch has Melania trying to get her husband's attention, who seems to be off in another world as she gets ready for dinner. James Austin Johnson's Trump takes the spot of Jason Isaacs’ Timothy Ratliff -- whose family is plagued with financial woes throughout  "White Lotus" Season 3.

Good news for those hoping to bust out their Boston Bruins jerseys and hockey stick putters this summer ... Christopher McDonald -- the man who played Shooter McGavin in "Happy Gilmore" -- tells TMZ Sports that Adam Sandler's golf flick's sequel is going to rock.

"Happy Gilmore 2" is slated to drop on Netflix on July 25 ... and when we caught up with McDonald out at LAX this week, he told us it's "going to be fantastic."

The 70-year-old, who's reprising his Shooter role for the film, didn't want to reveal too much more about the movie -- he stated he's signed an NDA so he's sworn to secrecy for now -- but he did joke he was sure it'd be good because "I love me."

Ricky Whittle says the UK version of "Saturday Night Live" would go even harder after American politics than the U.S. show ... though he's not sure the humor would translate.

We caught up with the British actor -- best known in the States for his role in the fantasy series "American Gods" -- at LAX Thursday ... and, we asked him about news of 'SNL' expanding with a UK version of the show slated to kick off in 2026.

Whittle says he thinks the show will be a massive hit in the UK ... though he does admit the humor might not translate to America -- 'cause the self-deprecating Brit style and the aggressive jokes about the current state of American politics might drive some viewers away.

Jo Koy is recalling the moment his international flight needed to make an emergency landing after an electrical fire filled the cabin with smoke ... and he says his son helped his family stay calm with a perfectly timed joke.

We got the comedian at LAX and he told us about his scary situation on his most recent flight ... a long journey from the Philippines to Los Angeles that required an unplanned stop in Japan early Thursday.

Jo says he was trying to sleep when he started noticing smoke and heard flight crew running around, slamming overhead compartments ... and he knew something was wrong.
