Gypsy Rose Blanchard is weighing in on Casey Anthony’s new self-anointed legal advocacy gig -- and it’s a take worth considering, given that she, too, knows the ins and outs of the justice system firsthand.

We caught up with GRB Wednesday night in L.A., and she didn’t hold back, saying Casey -- who stood trial in 2011 for the murder of her daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony, before being found not guilty -- has no business charging people for legal advice.

The Casey backlash has been brewing ever since the acquitted Florida woman dropped a video earlier this week detailing her so-called advocacy plans via Substack, explaining she's turning a curse into a blessing after being thrust into the national spotlight for so many years.

A true piece of basketball history is about to hit the auction block!

Michael Jordan AND Kobe Bryant's first game-worn NBA jerseys will soon be available to bidders at Sotheby's ... with experts estimating the two tops could combined fetch up to $20 million!

TMZ Sports has learned that Jordan's Bulls jersey is from his NBA preseason debut on October 5, 1984 ... where His Airness dropped 16 points at the Peoria Civic Center in Illinois.

Nancy Grace is scoffing at Casey Anthony's new career pursuit -- slamming her new legal advocacy gig as a shameless cash grab and insisting the focus should remain on Casey's murdered daughter, Caylee.

TMZ spoke with Nancy, and she didn’t sugarcoat it -- telling us Casey’s just looking for a payday, reaching into everyone else’s pockets. But what stunned her the most is the fact so many people have already signed up for Casey’s Substack to take advice from her.

Watch the video -- Nancy goes in on Casey, reminding everyone her so-called "legal expertise" comes from being tried for murder. She also makes it crystal clear -- pretending to be a lawyer and dishing out legal advice for money is illegal. Casey announced her new Substack in a TikTok video this week.

Bhad Bhabie's on-and-off boyfriend, Le Vaughn, is going to be "just fine" after getting shot in the left pinky finger during an early-morning L.A. strip club altercation on Wednesday.

Our sources say the rapper was discharged from the hospital Wednesday and is expected to make a full recovery.

His release came after he assured fans he was A-okay, showing off his heavily bandaged left pinky from a hospital bed in a short IG clip.

Bhad Bhabie's on-and-off BF, and father of her child, is recovering from a shooting incident that started inside an L.A. strip club ... TMZ has learned.

Le Vaughn was shot early Wednesday morning while he was inside Sam's Hofbrau near downtown L.A. -- according to multiple sources, 2 groups of guys got into an altercation while enjoying the entertainment, and someone opened fire.

LAPD says the action spilled outside, and several more shots popped off, with 2 people getting hit -- Le Vaughn was hit in the hand, and another person was shot in the shoulder.

If Gervonta Davis wants to avoid further hair controversies, one co. is urging the star boxer to switch to its products, insisting its stuff will keep him out of more greasy ring drama going forward.

The company, Murray's Pomade, issued the advisory to Davis in a statement to TMZ Sports this week ... just days after Tank claimed some hair oil forced him to take a knee during his scrap with Lamont Roach in New York.

If you missed it, Davis hit the canvas in the ninth round ... before he raced to his corner to demand a towel for his eyes. The bizarre scene sparked a ton of outrage, as many felt he should've been penalized for the act and subsequently lost the fight.

A fraudulent fundraiser claiming to support Angie Stone's legacy just days after her death has been banned by GoFundMe -- after raking in over $12K.

A GoFundMe spokesperson confirmed to TMZ that all donations have been refunded, and the organizer, going by the name "Lenda Peers," has been banned from any future fundraising.

Typically, on GoFundMe, a beneficiary is clearly named if funds are being raised for someone else.

Justin Bieber fired his longtime "assistant" years ago, TMZ has learned -- this amid new reports claiming JB's team recently began shrinking due to concerns about his well-being.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... despite new reports suggesting Justin's assistant quit recently -- as Justin's inner circle gets smaller -- we're told JB's former estate manager, Mateo Caldas, was fired by the singer 5 years ago.

Our sources wouldn't specify why Mateo was cut loose in September 2020, but clarified he was never Justin's personal assistant -- his sole responsibility was to oversee Justin's Los Angeles estate.

Bhad Bhabie and her BF Le Vaughn might drop off the radar for a bit, on the heels of him getting shot at an L.A. strip club -- her dad says he's a little worried about someone trying to finish the job.

We talked to Ira Peskowitz Wednesday on "TMZ Live," and he says whatever went down last night at Sam's Hofbrau strip club in DTLA ... LV had concerns about individuals involved in the shooting possibly showing up at the home where he lives with BB, AKA Danielle Bregoli, and their kids.

As we reported, the suspects made a clean getaway after the early morning shooting incident, and Ira says he just wants to make sure innocent people -- such as his daughter Danielle, his granddaughter Kali, or LV's toddler son -- don't get hurt.

Katherine Heigl says her efforts to save animals from death row are being sabotaged by a rogue rescue group that's spreading a whole lot of dog s*** about her foundation ... TMZ has learned.

Katherine and her mom, Nancy, run the Jason Heigl Foundation -- named after Katherine's late brother -- which supports animal rescue efforts, particularly saving animals from kill shelters. Awesome work, for sure.

Now, according to a new lawsuit, the Heigls' org signed a deal to support The Pitty Committee, which is a Santa Monica-based dog rescue. The deal was Katherine's foundation would give TPC $5,000 per month to rescue a minimum number of pups of Katherine and Nancy's choosing.

Jay-Z is revealing how he found out the Jane Doe rape accuser allegedly lied about his involvement ... and how attorney Tony Buzbee allegedly pushed her to sue, anyway.

A private investigator named Charlotte Henderson filed an affidavit Wednesday stating she met with the Jane Doe on Feb. 21, 2025 in the anonymous woman's home in Alabama -- and, during the meeting, she claimed Buzbee "pushed me" to include Jay in the lawsuit.

According to the docs, Doe said she told Buzbee she'd been raped by Sean "Diddy" Combs in 2000, and wanted to sue him ... but "Buzbee brought Jay-Z into it." She added, "He was the one that kind of pushed me towards going forward with him, with Jay-Z."

Texas rapper G$ Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter were shot dead at a car wash Monday morning just as their post-birthday festivities were getting underway, the slain artist's videographer tells TMZ Hip Hop.

Mello Vision has shot dozens of music videos and social content for Ronnie, and he tells us he's generally confused about the murders. If there was a threat to Ronnie's life, Mello would have felt it because they were frequently together at the same locations.

Mello says Ronnie was out late on March 2 and woke up early in an effort to spend intimate time with his daughter on the morning of the 3rd, when they were both killed.

The woman run over by an Amazon truck -- caught on shocking video -- faces months of physical therapy to recover ... but she holds no ill will toward the driver who fled the scene.

David Ellin, lawyer for Chelsey Douglas, tells TMZ … his client is finally out of the hospital but has a long road ahead after being run over and dragged by an Amazon van in Baltimore on the night of February 18.

Shocking video showing the incident went viral after the alleged driver, Jerome Allan Young Jr., drove off moments after seeing he had clearly hit someone. The driver stopped the van, got out and hovered over Chelsey as she cried out in pain, then got back into the van and drove away.

Ben Affleck and Jen Garner are NOT getting back together romantically ... despite speculation and reports claiming the contrary ... TMZ has learned.

A source close to Ben tells TMZ ... headlines suggesting BA is interested in rekindling a romantic relationship with his ex-wife are "ridiculous" gossip. We're told there is no interest from Ben and he's happy they can be good friends in a great co-parenting situation.

This hammer-drop response comes after multiple reports surfaced suggesting the former couple was potentially getting back together as a romantic duo ... which, again, ain't the case. Our sources tell us Ben is NOT currently dating and it's not even of interest to him right now.

Diddy and his attorneys want one of the sexual assault lawsuits tossed out of court, but if they're successful it could change the game in dozens of the other civil cases he's facing.

Here's the deal ... Diddy's zeroing-in on New York's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law (GMVA), because that's the statute a Jane Doe used to sue him back in December for a sexual assault she claims happened at a charity basketball game in 1991 at City College.

The date is what's important here, at least according to Diddy's attorney Mark Cuccaro. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, he points out the GMVA was passed on December 19, 2000. Back in 2022, New York made an amendment that extended the statute of limitations for claims under the GMVA, from 7 to 9 years.

Mike 'Boogie' Malin is in hot water -- again -- this time, for hitting up Los Angeles pharmacies and allegedly leaving without paying for a bunch of stuff ... TMZ has learned.

The Burbank Police Department tells TMZ ... the '"Big Brother" season 7 alum was arrested on January 29 after officers were dispatched to multiple CVS Pharmacy locations in the San Fernando Valley regarding shoplifting incidents.

Law enforcement sources tell us an employee from the first CVS told cops he confronted Malin outside the store and told him he needed to pay for the items he'd stolen. Malin went back into the store with the items, placed them on the ground, and departed the premises in his vehicle.
