Only Garry Shandling would see the hilarity in watching comedians play basketball ... so his buddies gathered for one last round in his honor.

More than 30 jokers gathered for a final pickup game at Shandling's house ... which was a regular event among L.A. comedians.

Judd Apatow posted a pic of the final meetup saying, "One last game of basketball at Garry's house to say goodbye."

Bill Maher, Kathy Griffin, Richard Lewis, Kevin Nealon, Phil Rosenthal, Jeffrey Tambor, and even sports reporter Jim Gray were among the heavy hitters who showed up.

TMZ broke the story ... Shandling unexpectedly died last week from what appears to be a massive heart attack.

Margaret Cho pissed off an entire comedy club, sparking fights as she went off about being a rape victim, and ripped into white audience members.

TMZ obtained the video shot at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, NJ Saturday night ... and you can hear the crowd is restless and angry. Witnesses tell us Cho started her set with a "debbie downer" discussion of her rape, Garry Shandling's death ... and white people having it so easy.

We're told she also made several gay jokes, and at least one such punchline led to 2 men in the audience fighting.

When much of the crowd had enough, they broke for the exit. As one angry customer put it, "This is comedy before Easter?? Rape, rape, rape?"

We're told Cho called some of the people bailing, racists and overprivileged white people. She blurted out, "You will never get a cent of the money back that you paid."

We've reached out to Cho and her team, but no response yet. On Twitter, she blamed the mess on jet lag ... but felt there was nothing wrong with talking rape during her routine.

The hot chick who clogged a toilet with poop during a date and put it in her purse has attracted suitors like flies on s***.

Makela from Canada went massively viral this week after tweeting about her disastrous date ... she was at his house, went to the bathroom but his toilet wouldn't flush, so she scooped the toilet and deposited her handiwork in her clutch.

The date is now history, but turns out it's a thing for lots of guys. She tells us she's being hit up by admirers who apparently want an encore performance.

Can you imagine the chaos she'd create on a Carnival cruise?

You're looking at 2 of the GREATEST athletes on Earth -- Snakebite and Clutch -- and if they look happy, it's cause they just won $1 MILLION at the Halo World Championships!!!

The guys are part of the legendary Counter Gaming Logic team -- a 5-man super squad comprised of some of the best video gamers alive (4 players + the team coach).

So, when we got the guys at LAX, we had to ask ... does great ePower attract great eGroupies?

The answer -- absolutely.

But according to Clutch, gamers must beware of the eChicks ... they're not exactly the ladies you wanna take home to the fam.

Check out the clip -- and then go work on your game ... it can pay off in more ways than one!

The dancer who went viral this week for lighting her crotch on fire says her lady parts are A-OK!

Fire Gyal Flexi -- a competitor in a Dancehall contest -- tells us the incendiary moment was accidental. Her plan was to put rubbing alcohol on her crotch, which she would lite and then immediately smother the flames.

Problem was ... she applied way too much alcohol, and she became a human torch.

Flexi is a little lighter Wednesday -- literally and figuratively -- she suffered 1st degree burns and lost layers of skin, but pressed on and won the dance competition, scoring a trophy and $500 prize.

She'll now go on to the international contest in Jamaica. Hopefully, TSA will confiscate the rubbing alcohol.

Now this is a story all about how ... the new Kobe Bryant bobblehead looks more like Will Smith than Mamba!!

For the 2nd time this season, the Lakers have swung and missed on Kobe bobblehead night at the Staples Center.

Remember, earlier this month they released the 1st bobblehead in a 3 piece set -- and it looked more like Danny Glover from "Lethal Weapon."

Yo homes, smell ya later.

Khloe Kardashian aged about 50 years, and she's now from Albuquerque -- at least if you fell for her Hollywood makeup trickery on a tour bus.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner joined their big sister on a Hollywood tour this afternoon, and all 3 were unrecognizable in their costumes -- especially Khloe, who posed as an old woman ... and Kendall, who looked like a red-headed Madonna.

Kudos on the brilliant makeup job -- we're guessing it's for Khloe's TV show -- but they screwed up royally by NOT getting on the TMZ Celebrity Tour!! Then again, we definitely would've talked "Kartrashians." Sorry, Khloe.

Someone at WNDU in Indiana is blind as a bat ... because they mixed up Frank Sinatra Jr. and Joe Piscopo (as Frank Sinatra on 'SNL') during Wednesday night's newscast.

The mix-up just gives us an excuse to watch this again ...

How well does Todd Gurley know his Roc Nation boss Jay Z? Enough that he can destroy a TMZ camera guy who thought the Rams running back might be light on hip-hop knowledge.

Gurley was at LAX when we asked him about being mentored by Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson ​and what that's meant to him as a man and football player.

TG told our guy that Dickerson basically told him not to be a damn fool -- good advice -- but it was when we challenged him to name three albums by Hova for $100 that he kinda made a fool out of us.

Check it out -- Gurley calmly rattles off the three answers like he's shredding an NFL defense and proving his loyalty to the Roc.

This is adorably hilarious ... Washington Nats 2B Danny Espinosa TRYING to do one of those "gender reveals" with a pinata and a baseball bat -- but his big league swing betrayed him!

Espinosa's wife Sara was filming the event ... in which he was supposed to obliterate the pinata, thus revealing the sex of the baby to the world (you've all see stuff like this on your Facebook feed).

What happened next ... well, let's just say "curveball."

FYI -- He WAS able to make contact after he ran the count full ... verdict? It's a boy! (See pics below).

Mazel tov!

Shooter McGavin took a page out of Happy Gilmore's playbook by giving a hot bikini clad comic swinging lessons ... on the green.

Christopher McDonald, who played the sleazy golf pro in the Adam Sandler flick, showed up at a $10 million hole in one tournament in Las Vegas. He didn't win the tournament, but it's hard to say he lost -- based on his interaction with Kate Quigley.

Still, nice to see Shooter finding his happy place ... just like Happy.

The usually flawless Jennifer Lopez finally made a questionable wardrobe decision during a recent taping of "American Idol."

The color screams failed bridesmaid dress -- and it's way too loose on her -- but thankfully the curves underneath are still 100% Jenny from the block.

Kim Kardashian tried to break her little girl's paralyzing fear of Snapchat ... by putting her on Snapchat -- and the result was kinda precious.

In the ultimate irony, North West has a slight case of social media phobia ... as we all learned from the video Kim posted on Thursday night. She just doesn't dig those scary faces, guys.

Watch ... doesn't look like North is gonna easily snap out of this, but we're guessing Kim and Kanye West won't stop trying to cure her.

This is pretty funny ... Miesha Tate exacting revenge on the cop who checked out her ass during the UFC 196 weigh ins -- by ogling him right back.

The cop -- Officer Russel Mettke -- became a viral sensation last week for using extreme side-eye to sneak a peek at Miesha's butt while she changed on the UFC stage.

Miesha wasn't exactly offended ... in fact, she thought it was hilarious -- and went over to the LVMPD to get a little payback.

This. Is. Hysterical.

Doug Flutie has "Dancing with the Stars" all locked up ... because he got some incredible -- and hilarious -- dance advice from a trusted and experienced voice ... a TMZ camera guy.

Flutie was out in NYC doing a little press for 'DWTS' when one of our photogs, Adam, decided he'd lend the NFL legend a helping hand ... and show him a move that will surely defeat his opposition.

You gotta see this -- Doug is rendered speechless by the gyrations he witnesses on the streets of New York, and doesn't seem like he's too interested in recreating them for America.

Selena Gomez got stuck in an elevator in Paris and sprung into survival mode without panicking ... which is another good reason to be stuck in an elevator with her.

Selena, who's in town for the tail end of Paris Fashion Week, posted a 19-second clip of the emergency. She can be heard telling everyone in the elevator that the talking will deplete them of oxygen ... while looking totally smoking hot!
