Rob Lowe is sharing his favorite Tom Cruise story ... and it ends with Rob being knocked out cold.

The actor says he and Tom used to box when they were teenagers filming "The Outsiders" way back in the day ... and Tom got the better of him in one memorable sparring session.

As Rob recently explained on "The Rich Eisen Show" ... he was 17 years old and Tom was 18 when they filmed the movie together. He says they would work out, jog and box together while they were holed up in a hotel on location ... and the testosterone was flowing.

Bill Maher is not only positive it's only a matter of time before President Joe Biden withdraws from the 2024 presidential race, he knows the date it's gonna happen, and it's all because of Lindsay Lohan.

The "Real Time" host is confident because, he says, we live in a country where the media, the political parties and the public live to finish people off when they smell blood in the water.

He thinks Biden will throw in the towel on August 9 -- the same date Richard Nixon resigned his presidency.

Elton John's recent pee emergency in a French shoe store might be a troubling sign for the legendary singer ... but, the folks at a portable urinal company say they've got him covered.

Here's the streaming news Elton -- and others, we're sure -- can use ... Jeffrey Luckey is the owner of Biorelief.com, and says his company's got a bunch of options for the 77-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.

As we reported, Elton whipped out his "Rocketman" in the middle of the store in Nice, and relieved himself in a bottle.

JL says the company's all about discretion -- something Sir Elton was lacking -- and they make that possible with products he can conceal under any outfit.

Eddie Murphy's officially married ... getting hitched with his longtime partner Paige Butcher.

The actor and his fiancée tied the knot in Anguilla in the Caribbean Tuesday ... according to People.

Eddie and Paige had been engaged since 2018 ... so the wedding was a long time coming.

Nikki Glaser came out swinging at the ESPY Awards ... cracking a ton of jokes at several athletes' expense -- and Scottie Scheffler's legal troubles were not off-limits.

The comedian brought out the big guns at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles while presenting the award for Best Male Athlete to "peak athletes who push their bodies to the limit and also a golfer."

She then apologizes to the golfer in question -- Scottie Scheffler -- saying she knows it's difficult to putt, chip and drive ... over a cop's leg.

Barack Obama's living in a 'Key & Peele' skit ... the former President reenacted one of their most hilarious bits as #44 showed love to LeBron James and Team USA!

If you haven't seen it (shame on you!), Jordan Peele, portraying Obama in the 2014 skit, is met by fans after delivering a speech. Peele, as BO, greets supporters with handshakes -- but the style of shake differed depending on race.

Formal with white people ... Black supporters were dapped up.

Sydney Sweeney might be a good actress, but she's having trouble looking impressed by a computer-generated image of her ... even when put on the spot to do so.

The "Immaculate" star was shown a 3D, AI-generated portrait of herself Wednesday at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris, and her reaction is worth a look.

Check out the video ... Sydney's asked what she thinks of the computer version of her portrait and she did her best to force a smile, awkwardly saying, "Awww, I love it."

A fan-favorite 'Simpsons' gag from nearly 30 years ago is about to become a real life event -- courtesy of Cypress Hill -- and the writer who came up with the joke tells TMZ, he's freaking out ... in a good way.

The west coast rap legends -- B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs -- just announced plans to perform with the London Symphony Orchestra ... a concert idea born from the 1996 'Simpsons' episode, “Homerpalooza.”

On the show, Cypress Hill forgets all about the gig, because, well ... the "Insane in the Membrane" crew got high, of course.

Olivia Munn and John Mulaney tied the knot.

The actress and the 'SNL' alum got hitched over the weekend in New York  ... TMZ has confirmed.

Sources close to the married couple tell us their wedding officiant was none other than legendary actor Sam Waterston ... and Sam's wife was the ceremony's only witness. Olivia starred alongside Sam in "The Newsroom."

Here's Jonathan Majors doing his thang at an after-party for his girlfriend Meagan Good's new movie ... and the guy's a dancing machine when Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss comes on.

Jonathan went off on the dance floor Monday night in New York City, momentarily stealing the spotlight during the premiere bash for Tyler Perry's "Divorce in the Black," which stars Meagan.

Folks who were there whipped out their phones to record Jonathan going HAM to "Not Like Us" ... sure looks like he's having a good time dancing getting in the middle of a group to show off his moves.

Comedian Tony Knight died following a freak accident ... when a large tree branch fell on top of him and several others at a festival in France.

Knight died in June while attending the "Rock'&'Cars" festival in Lavaur, France, a family member told Fox News Digital.

The family member says, “He was fit, healthy, happy and had everything going for him. He was charismatic, funny, passionate and so very loved by [his partner] Hayley, his family and his friends all over the world.”

Comedian Ian Edwards is making the most of his Fourth of July ... despite previous calls to boycott America's birthday amid the Black Lives Matter movement.

We caught up with Ian at LAX, where he explained why he isn't boycotting the federal holiday. As he put it ... his Black ancestors never got the chance to celebrate any holiday, let alone the Fourth of July -- so he plans to enjoy every bank holiday in their honor.

He added ... "I'm not gonna throw away a holiday and disrespect them like that. It's party time."

David and Victoria Beckham had a blast from the past ... recreating their wedding a quarter century later by slipping into their same duds!

D&V did the unthinkable -- wearing what they wore so long ago, and truth be told ... the struggle was real for him.

The 49-year-old soccer legend sucked it in so he could show off his purple suit. It looks like some damage may have been done in the process ... seems to be a rip around the waist.

Slight hiccup for Ellen DeGeneres -- she's canceled several of her stand-up appearances shortly after kickstarting her multi-city tour.

Several upcoming shows from her "Ellen's Last Stand ... Up" tour in Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago have been axed -- with a notice from Ticketmaster's website reading, "Unfortunately, the Event Organizer has had to cancel your event."

Unclear exactly why the cancelation occurred ... but it goes without saying, it's a bummer for fans who were planning to attend the event at Dallas' Music Hall at Fair Park on July 10.

Comedian Matt Rife and his actress/dancer girlfriend Jessica Lord have broken up ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

We're told the former couple actually called it quits back in March, and the split was amicable on both sides ... with no hard feelings. The relationship had run its course.

Since the split, our sources say Matt has NOT been dating ... instead of looking for love, we're told he's focusing on his stand-up tour.

Ellen DeGeneres is clapping back at all those "mean girl" allegations ... which created controversy on her talk show, and ultimately contributed to her walking away from it.

The comedian addressed the controversial label attached to her during a recent stand-up show in Santa Rosa, California ... reportedly telling the near-capacity crowd, "I am many things, but I am not mean."

According to SFGATE, while Ellen stood up for herself, she did acknowledge, "I can be demanding, impatient, and tough. I am a strong woman."
