Kim Kardashian has been fuming since she failed her bar exam, even after 4 psychics told her she'd pass ... but psychic Matt Fraser told us they could still be right.

According to "Meet the Frasers" star Matt, the spirit world operates on a different time frame than we do, and doesn't communicate to mediums exactly when outcomes are to occur.

He explained ... "It could be that she's going to pass this exam in the future and this just was not the time."

Sydney Sweeney’s new flick "Christy" didn’t exactly light up the box office this weekend ... and one model tells TMZ it’s ‘cause the actress kept her clothes on this time.

We spoke with Ella Halikas, who told us "Christy" shows a side of Sydney fans aren’t used to seeing ... so seeing her throw punches instead of seducing the camera might’ve thrown everyone off.

Ella elaborated ... saying the "Euphoria" star is famous for showing skin and embracing her bombshell vibe, so with her all covered up, audiences probably didn’t know what to make of it ... and that's why they skipped the movie altogether.

Wendy Williams does not have the medical condition a judge has used to justify keeping her in a highly restrictive guardianship for more than 3 years, according to a top neurologist.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Wendy recently completed a battery of tests in NYC, and the neurologist concluded she does not have frontotemporal dementia. The neurologist provided Wendy's legal team with the results late last month.

The findings conflict with an earlier test when, according to Wendy's guardian, she tested positive for the condition.

Kevin Smith says traveling by plane for work was hell during the government shutdown ... and it sounds like his flight issues have him supporting Harvey Levin's 'OWTA' campaign.

We got the legendary director at LAX on Monday and our photog asked him what it was like flying during the shutdown ... and he told us he was basically stranded in Atlanta and couldn't get to New Jersey or even Orlando by plane.

Kevin says he feels for air traffic controllers who have been working for several weeks without a paycheck and tells us he totally understands why some of them stopped showing up for work ... even if it meant lengthy delays for some of his own flights.

California State Senator Ben Allen says Hollywood is showing signs of life again ... and he thinks Governor Gavin Newsom has a delicate act to balance.

Ben joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday, and we asked him about what a lot of folks in the film and TV industry in Los Angeles are feeling ... that Hollywood is dead because of overregulation, and other places are luring productions away from California with tax credits and incentives.

The Democrat -- who represents Santa Monica, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Torrance and other cities in L.A. County -- says the concerns are valid ... but he says a new bill he passed to increase the state's film and TV tax credit program from $350 million to $750 million is already paying off.

Brandy and Monica took full advantage of the Hollywood access lanes during their 2nd L.A. stop for their "Boy Is Mine" tour ... rolling out the red carpet for O.T. Genasis, Mario, Blxst, and the one and only LL Cool J!!!

The festivities went down inside the KIA Forum, and TMZ Hip Hop obtained plenty of video ... O.T. popped out to perform his hit record "Cut It" while LL had the crowd "Doin It" wild.

Mario showed the crowd in real time why he's confident in critiquing his fellow singers with a slam-dunk rendition of his billion-streamer "Let Me Love You" ... and Blxst repped hard his and Brandy's World Series-winning hometown, ripping through his double-platinum classic "Chosen."

Salt-N-Pepa were officially enshrined in the Rock Hall of Fame on Saturday -- and celebrated like queens in Hollywood with a few of their famous friends!!!

Missy Elliott, Mona Scott, and Maxwell all came through to show love -- and those were just the M's!!!

Beyoncé and Jay-Z did their best James Bond impression in order to sneak into Kris Jenner's 007-themed birthday ... 'cause photogs didn't get a single pic of them!

Multiple sources with knowledge tell TMZ ... the pop star and her rapper husband pulled up to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Beverly Hills mansion to celebrate their friend.

However, our sources say paparazzi couldn't get a money shot of the happy couple because they got prime parking ... pulling onto the estate and hopping out of the ride away from prying eyes.

11/8 2:35 PM PT -- Diddy's family -- which runs his official X account -- has released the following statement unequivocally denying our story.

3:38 PM PT -- Diddy’s family spokesperson Juda Engelmayer tells TMZ ... "Mr. Combs is in his first week at FCI Fort Dix and is focused on adjusting, working on himself, and doing better each day. As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there—most of them untrue. We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose."

Diddy's sobriety journey took a detour in lockup this week ... TMZ has learned he was drinking behind bars and got in some trouble with prison officials.

Sources with knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy had some homemade alcohol in Fort Dix, the low-security prison where he's doing time. We're told the alcohol is made of Fanta, sugar and apples, which inmates give two weeks to ferment into an alcoholic substance.

We're told Diddy got caught by jail officials and prison officials planned to move him from his old unit into a new one. Two sources tell TMZ prison officials have now reversed their decision and Diddy will stay put.

Former NFL star Matt Kalil and his alleged two Coke cans have caught the attention of an adult entertainment site -- TMZ Sports is told an adult webcam site is ready to drop $300K for him to flex his blessings on its platform!!

CamSoda took interest in the 6'6" offensive tackle after Kalil's ex-wife, Haley, revealed on Marlon Garcia's live stream their 2022 divorce was sparked by their sex life. She explained his size was uncommon -- like "0.01% of the population."

The adult live-streaming platform told us it would be delighted for Kalil to showcase this rare gift on the site as the "Big Confidence" crusade ... and its offer letter includes a $300,000 payday.

If Sydney Sweeney's serious about getting in the ring for a good cause, she could have one of the greatest women's boxers EVER in her corner -- 'cause Claressa Shields tells TMZ Sports she's down to train the actress for a charity boxing match!!

We caught up with the undisputed heavyweight champion out in NYC this week .. and she said every woman should lace up the gloves and throw some hands at least once.

It would make sense four Sweeney ... considering she just played Christy Martin in a new movie, and trained her ass off for the role. She teased this week she could really take a charity bout.

Boxing star Chris Eubank Jr. says he's (still) open to fighting Jake Paul ... but tells TMZ Sports he doubts "El Gallo" would ever step into the ring with him, claiming the YouTuber-turned-boxer avoids real boxers!

We spoke with the 35-3 fighter after Paul pulled the plug on his big November 14th fight with Gervonta Davis, after the undefeated knockout artist was sued by a woman who claims he got physical with her.

So, with Jake looking for a new opponent (Nate Diaz and Francis Ngannou's names have been mentioned), we asked Eubank Jr. if he still had a desire to scrap with Paul ... a match-up he mentioned in the past.

"Stranger Things" is ending, but the show will live on at home for Sadie Sink ... because she brought back a few things from the Netflix set.

We got Sadie, who plays Max Mayfield in 'ST,' at LAX on Friday and our photog asked her if she held on to any memorabilia from filming.

Sadie tells us she's got Max's skateboard ... but she's not using it to tool around town ... instead, it's hanging above a doorway in her home.

YFN Lucci is doing what he humanly couldn't do just a few years ago -- pound the pavement and promote his new album!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked with Lucci this week during his latest run in NYC for his "Already Legend." album ... dripping in designer, and the Atlanta-born star says he feels like he's living the dream with a 2nd chance.

Lucci was released from prison back in January after serving nearly four years for violating Georgia's Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act.

The big news about Matt Kalil's junk size has made him a marked man ... and "size queens" are on the hunt, or so we hear from a porn star who can relate.

Here's the deal ... Kalil, a former NFL-er, had his dong thrust into the spotlight recently when his ex-wife Haley Kalil said his size was just too much for her, likening it to at least a couple of Coke cans.

Porn star Girthmasterr tells TMZ … he can totally relate to Matt's story, since he found himself in the same situation more than a few times before his huge wang made him famous.
