Kanye West struck chords and nerves in abundance by revealing he and his convicted murderer male cousin used to hook up as young teens ... and many of his rapper peers feel it explains the root of his troubles.

Boosie Badazz, who's typically on the offensive on non-heterosexual relationships, cut Ye some slack ... but felt that energy would be channeled to fighting enemies down the line.

A$AP Ferg also sent Ye love from afar, as the situation hits close to home for him.

Brooks Nader’s sisters came in hot -- rallying behind her and doubling down on the not-so-subtle hint that her ex Gleb Savchenko was unfaithful.

TMZ caught up with Brooks and two of her sisters in Beverly Hills Monday, and when Gleb’s name came up, one sis didn’t hold back -- dropping, "We don’t talk to cheaters" ... while Brooks looked like she wanted to disappear on the spot.

It was honestly pretty hilarious -- Brooks stayed mostly tight-lipped while her sisters went full steam ahead with the cheating claims against Gleb, all as the Sports Illustrated model tried (and failed) to shush them.

A couple of identical twins from Australia are going viral for an interview they gave to a local news outlet covering an alleged armed carjacker ... because they're talking at the same time and saying the exact same things.

Ya gotta see the video ... Bridgette Powers and Paula Powers are totally on the same page as they recall how they and their mother found themselves in the middle of a scary incident on Steve Irwin Way in Queensland.

The twins have the same voice, the same cadence and the same thoughts ... and it's pretty wild to hear them talking in unison.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!!

Charlie Sheen is playing family man in a rare public appearance ... breaking bread with his famous father and brothers, plus one of his sons, amid some ongoing drama with his daughter Sami.

The actor headed out for a family dinner Friday in Westlake Village in the L.A. area ... accompanied by his pops, Martin Sheen, his brothers Emilio, Ramon and Renee Esteves, and one of his twin boys.

Noticeably absent was Charlie and Denise Richards' daughter Sami ... who recently said she would rather do anything than hang out with her dad.

Kanye West is claiming he and a now-incarcerated male cousin sexually experimented with each other when they were kids -- an experience he's turned into a new song, believing it contributed to both of their dark paths.

Debuting a new grungy song called "COUSINS" on Monday, Ye sings about stumbling upon adult magazines as a kid, noting the mags he found in his late mother Donda's possession were of the homosexual variety.

Ye says he eventually showed the mags to his cousin and they reenacted the male-on-male kissing scenes ... leading Ye to eventually "suck his d!ck" until the age of 14.

Ivanka Trump's surfing enough this week to consider going pro ... 'cause she was back out in the ocean off the coast of Costa Rica, sporting another bikini.

The First Daughter hit the beach with a few pals ... walking into the crisp ocean blue with her board under her arm -- ready to carve up a few waves.

IT's wearing a small black two-piece bikini this time around ... a lot like the orange number she wore earlier in the week during her beach afternoon with her model sister-in-law, Karlie Kloss.

Kate Hudson's way past "Almost Famous" status and well into "Bona Fide Superstar" territory ... with hot shots galore showing off her A-list physique.

The actress -- who turned 46 on Saturday -- has starred in a whole lot of flicks ... and, she looks fantastic in a whole lot of outfits, like these low-cut red and black dresses she's worn on the red carpet.

Hudson's always made fantastic style choices ... wearing backless gowns and throwing sultry looks over her shoulders for years.

Ivanka Trump's heating up the beach once again ... showing off her surf skills down in Costa Rica -- with supermodel Karlie Kloss by her side!

The First Daughter was spotted in the Central American country Thursday ... hitting the beach and hopping back on her trusty surfboard in the crystal clear ocean water.

Check out the pics ... Ivanka's showing off her bod in an orange two-piece -- soaked in the salty water but looking happy while walking along the beach later on.

Shohei Ohtani has added another member to his family's lineup ... a baby girl!

The Dodgers' superstar and his wife Mamiko Tanaka -- a former professional basketball player from his native Japan -- welcomed a daughter on Saturday, the team announced.

The little slugger's name was not revealed ... but Shohei said in a message that she and mom were happy and healthy.

Alabama father Jacob Couch has died almost two weeks after he was attacked by a hatchet-wielding maniac who nearly chopped off his head in broad daylight ... at a bus stop!

The 32-year-old died Thursday night after being on life support at University Medical Center Tucson following the horrifying attack in Tucson, Arizona, police confirmed. His sister-in-law Erica Sims told KGUN 9 News that he developed pneumonia and his heart gave out.

His wife, Kristen Couch, remembered him Friday by sharing several throwback photos of them together and heartbreakingly noting she thought they would have "so many more" years together.

Khloé Kardashian says her kids aren't bringing their PJs and sleeping bags to friends' houses, ever ... 'cause she says she's not comfortable with them attending sleepovers -- and true crime is the reason why.

The reality star admitted her strict rules about her children sleeping away from home on her "Khloé in Wonder Land" podcast ... telling her guest, UFC President Dana White, she's strict on the rule -- and arguing times are different from when she and Dana were kids.

Kardashian says, "They’re not allowed to have sleepovers, just because I’m one of those types of, I just, I think too much. I’ve watched too much ‘Dateline.'”

Tish Cyrus might’ve smoothed things over with her daughter Noah after the whole man-stealing speculation -- but let’s be real, it kinda feels like she’s tiptoeing on thin ice again!

Catch this clip -- Noah was talking all about her fiancé Pinkus on Tish’s "Sorry We’re Cyrus" podcast, but honestly? Mama bear sounded more obsessed with the guy than Noah did!

Tish was gushing over Pinkus -- maybe a little too much -- dropping "I love him" like it was nothing. Noah even straight-up said she was shook when she found out her mom had been name-dropping her man on the regular in past podcast episodes!

Sami Sheen's reminding all her haters online who her dad is and why she's not in a rush to speak to him ... using an iconic soundbite from his past to do it.

The daughter of Charlie Sheen shared a clip to TikTok, writing on it that people wonder why she hasn't spoken to her dad in a year ... but, they forget that the following soundbite is her father.

The quote that plays is Sheen responding to interviewer Andrea Canning about whether there are drugs in the home ... and, he says, "If there are, you better find them and give them to me immediately. No, there are not. Not that I know about, if I know about them, I’ll find them and throw them away. It’s not a big deal.”

Billy Bush thinks artificial intelligence is severely lacking the latter word in its name ... calling the tech "crap" after hearing it didn't even rank him as a top 10 member of the Bush family.

We caught up with the popular television host recently ... and, we asked him where he thinks he ranks on the list we generated using A.I., putting members of his famous fam in order from most to least successful.

Billy ain't crazy ... not putting himself in the top spot ahead of his uncle, former President George H.W. Bush, or his cousin, former President George W. Bush -- instead numbering himself in a very humble 11th place.

LaVar Ball was keeping tabs on his son's rapid rise in the rap game despite his recent serious health issues ... 'cause the famous pops had a special FaceTime with Gelo from his hospital bed in between multiple surgeries that led to the Big Ballers' foot being amputated.

TMZ Sports broke the story earlier this year -- LaVar had his right foot amputated after complications from an infection ... and in a video of his chat with his middle son, it's clear his love and pride for his family helped him during the rough time.

The 57-year-old shared the video with us ... which shows Gelo excitedly telling his dad about all the updates with his music career, including landing a set at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles.
