Controversial S#!T

Jerry Seinfeld reflected on the state of comedy ahead of his 70th birthday -- and he thinks modern-day showbiz has lost its sense of humor ... all 'cause of politically correct culture.

The legendary comedian was talking on the New Yorker's Radio Hour this past week, and he talked about where comedy in general stands today ... in his opinion, it's not great -- and it all has to do with the "extreme left," which he believes has ruined TV shows and sitcoms.

JS says people need comedy, and yet ... they're not getting their daily dose in the 21st century -- especially in 2024 -- when they turn on their televisions to wind down at night.

10:04 AM PT -- Diddy sources tell TMZ, "Aubrey O'Day got her big break because Diddy and Bad Boy cast her in their show with her group, Danity Kane. Last year, when he reassigned his portion of the publishing to Bad Boy artists, an unprecedented move within the industry and which he did not have to do, not all artists signed an NDA, contrary to what she claims."

Aubrey O'Day claims Diddy was trying to buy her and other ex-Bad Boy artists' silence when he gave back their publishing rights ... which she says weren't worth jack.

Russell Brand's taking a big step in his faith journey ... announcing he's getting baptized -- and saying it's an opportunity to move on from the past.

The controversial actor/podcast host posted a video to his Instagram recently ... telling his nearly four million followers he's scheduled to be baptized today and asking those who'd been through the process to share their experiences.

After waxing poetic on religion for a bit, RB makes a pretty eye-opening statement ... saying he's heard it's an opportunity to be reborn -- and leave the past behind.

Aubrey O'Day afirma que Diddy trató de comprar su silencio y el de otros ex artistas de Bad Boy cuando les devolvió sus derechos de publicación, los que asegura que no valían nada.

Hablamos con la cantante de Danity Kane, quien firmó con Bad Boy Records en la década de los 2000, como parte del nuevo documental de TMZ "The Downfall of Diddy", que estará disponible en Tubie el domingo y que disecciona las secuelas tras las redadas en las casas de Diddy y la investigación federal que siguió.

Aubrey proporcionó detalles fascinantes, incluyendo el hecho de que sabía lo que estaba pasando en septiembre, cuando Puff le dio a todos sus antiguos artistas los derechos sobre su música. El aparentemente generoso movimiento vino con un montón de condiciones, según Aubrey.

USC's famed Tommy Trojan has been caught up in the Gaza war, and is worse for wear.

The iconic statue was smack in the middle of another protest on the USC campus, resulting in 90 arrests.

Someone spray-painted, "Say no to genocide" on the base of the statue.

Noah Cyrus has broken her silence on the love triangle rumors swirling around her family ... telling a troll exactly what he should do with his mouth after he cracked a joke.

The singer-songwriter fired back at a hater on Instagram who brought up a rumor her mom, Tish, "stole" her new husband, Dominic Purcell, from Noah.

Noah -- using some of her trademark deadpan wit -- replied in the comments by asking the user to please "choke on the fattest c***" ... bit a of nuclear response, we gotta say.

Frank Grillo's standing up for Sylvester Stallone ... saying Sly never insulted any extras on the "Tulsa King" set -- and the casting supervisor's lying because she didn't do her job.

We caught up with Grillo -- who's starring in 'TK' season 2 -- at LAX and he says he was on set the day Stallone allegedly launched a string of insults at the extras -- he claims it never happened.

Frank says he thinks casting sup., Rose Locke, got caught not doing her job properly ... adding we're living in a time where anyone can claim their feelings are hurt, and ya gotta deal with it.

Ellen DeGeneres says she got thrown out of Hollywood for being mean and toxic -- something she's making light of now in a new stand-up show ... which is coming to Netflix.

The comedian did a live show in L.A. this week, which some reporters had attended -- and she ended up addressing her leaving her famed talk show ... which came to an end in 2022 on the heels of claims from former staffers that the workplace was a nightmare.

Ellen says, "What else can I tell you? Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business. There’s no mean people in show business."

¡¡¡Doja Cat está echando humo a causa de los padres que tienen el descaro de llevar a sus hijos a sus conciertos y luego se quejan de lo que ven, después de todo, ella tiene un éxito titulado "Wet Vagina" por lo que más quieran!!!

El viernes, Doja utilizó un lenguaje igualmente colorido mientras arremetía contra los padres que aparentemente no pueden encontrar niñeras capaces que cuiden a sus hijos.

No está claro qué fue lo que la hizo estallar exactamente, pero sus recientes actuaciones en Coachella respaldan su diatriba.

Doja Cat is fuming about parents who have the nerve to bring kids to her concerts, and then complain about what they see -- after all, she has a hit entitled "Wet Vagina" for cryin' out loud!!!

On Friday, Doja used equally colorful language while lashing out at adults who, apparently, can't find able-bodied babysitters.

It's unclear what exactly set her off, but her recent Coachella performances back up her rant.

Ellen DeGeneres dice que fue desterrada de Hollywood por ser mala y tóxica, algo que ella está abordando en un nuevo espectáculo de stand-up que estaría llegando a Netflix.

La comediante hizo un show en vivo en Los Ángeles esta semana, a la que asistieron algunos periodistas, en el que terminó hablando de su salida de su famoso programa de entrevistas, el que llegó a su fin en 2022 a raíz de los reclamos de algunos ex empleados de que el lugar de trabajo era una pesadilla.

Ellen dijo: "¿Qué más puedo decirte? Oh sí, me echaron del mundo del espectáculo. No hay gente mala en el mundo del espectáculo".

Kim Zolciak's over all the lies and accusations following her clickbait "RIP" post ... saying it wasn't about her estranged hubby Kroy Biermann dying, but actually about the death of their relationship.

The 'RHOA' star kept the drama train chugging ... sharing another B&W IG post with Kroy, and venting in the caption, "EVERY DAY it's always something new. I'm tired of so much BS being thrown my way. So you want to know 'what died?' Here's the truth..."

Kim urged everyone to hit up the link in her bio, which redirected to a site that's clearly paying her for clicks, where users read her defense ... "I used a picture of BOTH of us and said #RIP — and, frankly, the end of my relationship was like a death of sorts so #RIP to that."

Kanye West plans to flex his creative muscles in his latest venture, which means you can expect his usual creative genius to be on display in the porn industry ... according to Stormy Daniels' ex, Mike Moz.

Moz is a vet in adult films -- he currently oversees production for Vixen Media Group -- but as TMZ first reported, he's in talks to come on board with Yeezy Porn. However that turns out, he's already convinced Ye could totally change the industry.

Mike tells us, "I’ve been having discussions with Ye about a potential collab between Yeezy brand and my team at Vixen Media Group. While it’s too early to give any details I’m excited about where Ye’s vision takes this."

La condena por violación de Harvey Weinstein en Nueva York ha sido anulada y la decisión lo hizo emocionarse mientras se encuentra cumpliendo su tiempo en prisión.

La representante de Weinstein Juda Engelmayer le dice a TMZ que charló con su cliente dos veces hoy y está muy contento por el fallo de la Corte de Apelaciones el jueves, el que determinó que sus derechos constitucionales fueron violados en 2020 durante su juicio.

Sin embargo, Juda dice que el magnate del cine que actualmente se encuentra en una prisión del norte del estado de Nueva York, solo está cautelosamente optimista por el fallo del tribunal y sabe que tiene un camino difícil por delante, sobre todo porque queda por ver si va a ser procesado nuevamente y cuándo.

Harvey Weinstein's NYC rape conviction getting overturned has him so elated it's reduced him to tears as he sits in prison.

Weinstein's rep Juda Engelmayer tells TMZ he chatted with his client twice today, and Harvey's over the moon about the news of the Court of Appeals ruling Thursday ... which determined his constitutional rights were violated back in 2020 during the trial.

However, Juda says the disgraced movie mogul -- currently incarcerated in an upstate NY State prison -- is only cautiously optimistic about the court's ruling, and knows he has a difficult road ahead of him, especially since it remains to be seen if and when he'll be prosecuted again.
