Controversial S#!T

Tina Knowles is keeping her cool ... following Kanye West's appalling verbal attack on Beyoncé and Jay-Z's kids.

Tina -- Beyoncé's mom -- hopped on Instagram Wednesday and posted a video of herself seemingly addressing Kanye's X rant targeting Jay and Bey's 7-year-old twins -- Rumi and Sir.

On Tuesday, Kanye wrote on X, "Wait has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce’s younger kids" ... before questioning the twins' mental capacity.

The U.S. hunting influencer at the center of the #WombatGate mess issued an apology -- but it fell on deaf ears when she went off on the Australian government, calling them hypocrites for letting thousands of animals get killed every year.

Samantha Strable -- AKA Sam Jones on IG -- left the hosts of Australia’s Channel 10 fuming when she bailed on a scheduled interview. Instead, she sent them a pre-recorded video statement, in which she said she regretted pulling the baby wombat away from its mother in the original video last week.

After briefly owning up to her actions, Sam directed people's attention to the government of the nation widely condemning her, claiming officials are funneling millions of Aussie tax dollars into the mass slaughter of native animals.

Cameron Brink has seen all the memes about the L.A. Sparks holding tryouts for male practice players ... and she's praying to the basketball gods that whoever makes the final cut isn't a creepy horndog.

The WNBA team sparked uncomfortable reactions after announcing its plans to welcome dudes into its training facility to compete against its athletes during workouts ... with a bunch of guys joking about how they would handle one-on-one time with Brink, Rickea Jackson and Kelsey Plum on the court.

The former No. 2 overall pick explained the team previously brought in folks from USC for the job ... but now she has serious concerns about who will be walking in those doors.

The West Virginia men's basketball team was left out of the NCAA Tournament field, and the Mountaineers squad is "heartbroken" over the perceived snub, saying they're flat-out better than some teams who made the cut!

WVU, after finishing the season 19-13 (with a 10-10 record in the Big 12), hoped -- maybe even expected -- to hear their names called during the Selection Show on Sunday, but it didn't happen, and they're crushed.

"Heartbroken for @WVUhoops," AD Wren Baker said after the show. "I can’t comprehend this team being left out."

2:59 PM PT -- Mitch Voit is expressing regret over his viral celebration ... saying his actions do not reflect how he was raised, his character or the school.

"I made an immature decision in the heat of the moment," Voit said in a statement.

"I take full responsibility for what I did, and I am truly sorry to all those who I have negatively impacted by doing this."

Mitch Voit gave a whole 'nother meaning to "line" drive during Sunday's USC vs. Michigan baseball game ... after he hit a big RBI triple, he appeared to pretend to snort cocaine!!

The wild scene all unfolded during the second inning of the Wolverines' tilt with the Trojans in Ann Arbor, after Voit roped a pitch to center field.

He rounded second and slid head-first into third ... and when he realized his bat just plated three runs for his Michigan squad, he put his nose to the nearby chalk line and took a big sniff.

Wendy Williams is clearly happy to be out and about in the Big Apple ... flashing a big grin for cameras as she went out to dinner amid her guardianship fight.

The former talk show host grabbed a bite to eat at Tucci -- an Italian restaurant in New York City's trendy NoHo neighborhood -- Saturday, arriving in her mobility scooter.

Williams wore a fashionable jacket with blue faux fur trim ... and cherry red lipstick, too.

Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler were all smiles at Saturday night's premiere of "Snow White" in Hollywood — despite all the negative press surrounding the film remake.

The actresses stood side by side on the red carpet at El Capitan Theatre — and they could not have looked happier posing for pics alongside the movie's producer Marc Platt, director Marc Webb and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Gal, who plays the Evil Queen, looked amazing in her black lace dress. Rachel, who portrays Snow White, exuded elegance in her peach gown with a matching corset.

Chris Eubank Jr. and Connor Benn's fight is still a few weeks away ... but, their feud is far from over -- 'cause the two boxers couldn't even get through an interview without nearly beating each other up.

The two boxers stopped by "Piers Morgan Uncensored" to talk about their upcoming fight ... and to discuss the viral moment a few weeks ago when Eubank slapped Benn with an egg.

ICYMI ... the two men faced-off at a promotional event in Manchester at the end of last month -- when Chris whipped out an egg and smashed it against the side of Connor's face.

Rachel Zegler was finally asked about all the controversies dogging her upcoming big-budget Disney film, "Snow White" ... and she clearly wasn't having any of it.

Rachel was chatted up in LAX on Friday ... where she said "it feels wonderful" the live-action film is about to be released ... but it seemed pretty clear she was not in the mood to talk -- like, at all.

RZ booked it to her ride through the terminal while declining to sign autographs ... and really hauled butt when she was asked about all the negative press surrounding the film -- which mostly boils down to herself and costar Gal Gadot.

Jason Isaacs is in the hot seat after saying he was sick of being asked if it was really his dong on full display this season of "The White Lotus" ... and he is over the double standard.

Jason railed against the hog query during his Friday appearance on “CBS Mornings" when it was brought up he was the latest actor in the popular HBO series to ... let it all hang out.

Noting he was well aware there was a debate online whether it was his legit junk or a prosthetic, JI said women going nude in film/ TV were not asked about body parts being real, so why was he being bombarded?

Shamon Jones, the mother of the 5-year-old girl murdered alongside her rapper father, G$ Lil Ronnie, is standing her ground in choosing to mourn her family how she pleases ... by flexing tons of cash out in the streets!!!

After being criticized for boasting about her daughter R'Mani's designer burial outfit, Jones doubled down at a block party-style balloon release memorial in her late child's honor.

Jones posed for the phones that were streaming for IG Live ... with a tall stack of cash you'd typically see someone holding at a strip club.

Disney may have toned down its big Hollywood premiere for "Snow White," but Rachel Zegler wasn’t gonna let that stop her from going big on the promo tour -- glitz or no glitz!

Rachel made her grand entrance at the Spanish premiere Wednesday -- but it still wasn't quite the red carpet spectacle she might have imagined. Instead, the event was scaled down and tucked away in a remote castle in Segovia, northwest of Madrid.

Rachel, who takes on the title role, stunned in a white floral gown as she performed "Waiting On A Wish" -- a brand-new song for the film -- serenading a modest crowd of locals with her powerhouse vocals.

"Snow White" has been drowning in controversy for months, and now with Disney more or less pulling the plug on the movie’s red carpet premiere, one of its key actors is beyond disappointed -- you might even say ... GRUMPY!

Martin Klebba, the voice of Grumpy -- one of the 7 dwarfs in the new flick -- tells TMZ ... he’s seriously bummed and a bit pissed Disney axed what should’ve been a massive premiere for such a major film -- all because of the ongoing controversies surrounding the film, and stars Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler.

Martin tells us while Rachel, who plays Snow White, and Gal, as the Evil Queen, are entitled to their own political views and ideals, those personal opinions shouldn’t have overshadowed everyone else’s hard work -- no matter how much bitching about them is on social media.

A Black mother who lost her son before the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement says the removal of BLM Plaza in our nation's capital is a sign the country is in a bad place.

Ahmaud Arbery's mom, Wanda Cooper Jones, tells TMZ ... the removal of the BLM mural in Washington, D.C. "feels like a bad omen" and she says it serves as "a reminder of how fragile progress can be."

Wanda says BLM was never about murals, monuments, or symbolic gestures ... it's always been about accountability, justice and meaningful change -- but she doesn't like the change being made here.

"Snow White" is in its big release week, but instead of excitement, the controversy is still going strong -- and Ali Chapman tells us she totally gets why fans are frustrated.

We spoke with Ali, her hubby Matt McArthy, and their pal Jeff Beacher, owner of Beacher's Madhouse, at Craig's in L.A. Tuesday -- where she told TMZ the whole point of the OG film was the 7 dwarfs ... so that was 7 missed chances for actors like her who would’ve loved to be part of the live-action remake.

Catch the video -- because they all have a lot to say! "Freakshow" star Ali added that Disney had the perfect opportunity to represent the Little People community, only to miss the mark and shut them out in the process.

The judge in Wendy Williams' guardianship case is fed up with Wendy's "behavior" ... and wants her moved to another facility ... presumably with even tighter restrictions.

TMZ is privy to an email Judge Lisa Sokoloff fired off to Wendy's lawyer ... and the judge is having trouble hiding her contempt for the former talk show host. The judge references a prior hearing in which she ordered that Wendy be moved to a new facility.

Apparently Wendy's lawyer fired back saying it would be wrong to move her to an even more restrictive facility than where she is right now -- a residential facility called Coterie. The judge wrote in the email ... "I have always contended that [Wendy] will be given the independence she can handle. I question how well she has handled the independence she has been given."
