Controversial S#!T

Anthony Anderson is sounding off on the Artemis II flight ... and yeah ... he’s not exactly over the moon about it!

We caught him at LAX Tuesday, and he kept it real ... saying it makes zero sense to spend all that cash sending four people around the moon when there's a laundry list of problems right here on Earth that need funding.

Check the clip -- Anthony’s fired up, rattling off everything from homelessness to underfunded programs, basically asking why space is getting the spotlight while real-life issues still struggle to get met.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" cast is seeing light at the end of the tunnel -- after X dark weeks of no production, they seem to think filming will begin again ... if they can get the bosses onboard.

Multiple sources tell TMZ, it's the cast's understanding that production on the Hulu series will resume in a matter of weeks. There's also a push by the cast because delayed production could upend their summer plans, so it's kinda like ... let's get this show on the road!

While the cast was in solidarity for the show to pause production during a domestic violence investigation involving Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen ... we hear the consensus now is the casts concerns have been resolved.

8:10 AM PT -- UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer issued a statement on X ... "Kanye West should have never been invited to headline Wireless."

6:33 AM PT -- London's Wireless Festival has been canceled, the organization announced on Instagram following the news Ye's been banned from entering the United Kingdom.

More drama coming down the pike for Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West. Not only are sponsors dropping out of the London festival he's scheduled to headline ... he can't even enter the country!

Ye had his visa withdrawn by the UK government, according to The Guardian ... The UK Home Office -- similar to the DHS in the U.S. -- revoked his entry after it had initially been allowed.

The UK Prime Minister's Office said ... "Where individuals pose a threat to public safety or seek to spread extremism, the government has not hesitated to act, and that includes cancelling permission to enter this country for extremist preachers and far-right figures.”

The Dallas Stars have taken action against a fan who was seen doing an apparent Nazi salute during a game at American Airlines Center in December ... the NHL team has banned him "indefinitely" from the arena.

A spokesperson for the Stars told The Dallas Morning News that they identified the individual who "purchased the tickets and will be banning the individual indefinitely from American Airlines Center."

“Any type of discriminatory or hateful behavior will not be tolerated and has no place in our arena. Creating and sustaining environments that are inclusive, safe and respectful is a non-negotiable for the Dallas Stars.”

Jonah Hill is opening up about that bizarre moment three years ago when Kanye West claimed he didn’t hate Jewish people anymore ... all because of him.

Speaking on "The Zane Lowe Show," Jonah -- who’s Jewish -- said the whole thing sat with him in a seriously weird way ... mainly because the rapper tried walking back all the hate by casually posting a picture of him from his movie "21 Jump Street."

Jonah made it clear he’s always liked the Kanye he knew -- calling him one of the greatest artists alive -- but the antisemitic stuff Ye was putting out was always brutal, and he wasn't one to kick someone when they obviously seemed to be down.

Kanye West’s Stateside comeback may be pulling in crowds, but across the pond it’s a different story -- and the backlash is stacking up fast!

PayPal is the latest to distance itself, with London's Wireless Festival organizers confirming the brand won’t appear on any event branding while Ye is headlining -- or going forward, according to ITV News.

It’s not a headline sponsor, but PayPal still plays a key role as the payments partner for Live Nation UK Festivals, offering early ticket access -- so yeah, this one stings.

Kanye West hit all the right notes during his two shows in Los Angeles over the weekend, raking in a whopping $33 million as he wages a major comeback after his career was sidelined by his passion for Nazis, according to a new report.    

Bloomberg says Ye snagged more than $18 million in ticket sales during his Friday concert alone, making it one of the highest-grossing single shows in the history of live music.

The news outlet also pointed out Ye still has die-hard fans rushing to buy his new record, "Bully," which is on track to become one of the best-selling albums in its opening week.

But Bloomberg cautioned Ye's two sold-out L.A. gigs could just be an aberration considering all of his issues involving antisemitism dating back to 2022.   

"Ye" it ain't so! Another major sponsor is following in Pepsi's footsteps, bailing on London's Wireless Festival after Ye -- formerly known as Kanye West -- was named as the headliner.

Alcoholic beverage giant Diageo has pulled out of the event, and despite never naming Ye as a reason for their exit, the timing is raising eyebrows.

As we reported ... a rep for Pepsi confirmed over the weekend their company had "decided to withdraw its sponsorship" after Ye's booking stirred backlash across the U.K.

Megyn Kelly is teeing off on Tiger Woods for appearing to put in a call to President Donald Trump while the golfer was in the middle of being arrested for DUI last month.

The former Fox News host absolutely ripped Tiger during a recent episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show," calling his actions "a douche move," and saying, "It’s very clear he called to try to get out of this somehow."

Megyn did allow for the possibility that the president may have called Tiger to apologize for an apparent gaffe he made the night before.

Pepsi is tapping out of a major music fest and Kanye West appears to be the reason why.

The soda giant has reportedly pulled its sponsorship from London's Wireless Festival after Ye was booked to headline all three nights of the event this summer.

A rep for Pepsi confirmed the move, saying the company has "decided to withdraw its sponsorship" -- though they stopped short of directly naming Ye as the cause.

"Saturday Night Live" took a swing at Kristi Noem this weekend ... zeroing in on her husband's alleged secret life in a headline-grabbing Weekend Update segment.

Cast member Sarah Sherman appeared as Bryon Noem, decked out in tight pink biker shorts and exaggerated fake breasts ... a clear jab at a Daily Mail report claiming the former South Dakota governor's husband dabbled in a so-called "bimbofication" fetish.

Sherman didn't hold back ... joking to Michael Che ... "My eyes are up here, my nipples are out here," and daring anyone to kink shame her on national TV.

Jonathan Majors is obviously a tough guy ... but he must have superhero strength -- because he says he wasn't hurt too bad after falling through a glass window on set of his new movie.

Here's the deal ... crew working on the new untitled movie produced by The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend reportedly started striking earlier this week after an accident on set where Majors and actor JC Kiljoyne fell through a stunt window about 6 feet. The protesters were allegedly beginning to complain about other happenings around set before this incident, we're told.

Kiljoyne's hands were pretty cut up following the fall and he needed 3 or 4 stitches, our sources say. Though his rep told Deadline he "did not feel unsafe on set and continues to have a positive experience working on the project."

Mark Ruffalo's little Hulk means he can keep smashing it in Hollywood ... so says Kate Beckinsale.

The actress went on a tirade on social media Friday after Ruffalo appeared in a video posted to Instagram, in which he lauds the film, "Palestine '36" ... a new movie about the revolt by Palestinian people against British colonial rule.

Beckinsale ripped into Ruffalo with a comment ... not for being a vocal supporter of Palestine, but because she says an agent they shared dropped her for supporting Palestinians, while Ruffalo hasn't faced any backlash.

"The Jews said Hazel finna fall today" ... that's what Hazel-E told our photog when she tripped on her way out of a Kanye West concert.

We got the 'Love & Hip Hop' star on her way out of Kanye's show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA, and she was giving Kanye a full-throated defense when she suddenly tripped in her heels.

Hazel caught herself and then cracked a joke about "the Jews" ... which came as she was smack in the middle of hyping Kanye up for bouncing back from multiple antisemitic controversies.

9:45 AM PT -- TMZ obtained the uncensored video of Brian Littrell and the beachgoer going at it, and he does NOT use an epithet. Check it out here ... Brian did curse, but no slurs were hurled.

Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys is in hot water today after a video reportedly appears to show Littrell calling someone the homophobic f-slur.

In the video, obtained by local outlet WMBB, Littrell confronts a beachgoer identified as Kyle Gallagher. During the altercation, PEOPLE reports Littrell appears to say, "You want to be gay? Want to be a f*****?"

And get this ... Littrell submitted the video himself because he thought it would help his case against Gallagher! But Littrell's attempt to press criminal charges failed ... big time.

Littrell reportedly tried to press battery charges against Gallagher, but prosecutors decided not to after the video appeared to back up Gallagher's side of what happened.

In the affidavit, Littrell reportedly accused Gallagher of striking his hand and claiming Gallagher "was belligerent and disturbing the peace." But Gallagher reportedly told cops he was just "startled" by Littrell holding his phone so close to his face.

Ultimately, Walton County's Deputy Chief Assistant State Attorney Josh Mitchell reportedly cited "lack of criminal intent" as a reason he didn't recommend a warrant.
