Interview

Daymond John is "in" on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement ... calling the future nuptials a big financial and influential win for the couple.

We caught up with the "Shark Tank" investor on "TMZ Live," where he explained that Swelce's stock is only going to rise once they become husband and wife.

DJ compared the betrothed pair to the likes of Jay-Z and Beyonce, or David and Victoria Beckham ... as they both bring their own successful brands to the table.

Olivia Hill is urging the public not to blame the entire transgender community for the actions of one disturbed individual ... claiming identity doesn't matter in situations like the recent Minneapolis shooting, but actions do.

We caught up with the Metropolitan Council Member-at-Large of Nashville and Davidson County in Tennessee -- an openly transgender woman who took office in 2023 -- and she says Robin Westman, the Annunciation School shooter who was reportedly trans, was a horrible person ... simple as that.

Hill says she doesn't care about a person's race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity ... insisting all those markers should be stripped away when discussing heinous crimes.

A former FBI profiler says the public needs to take a more active role in identifying and reporting signs of potential mass shooters to the proper officials ... in light of devastating attacks like the one at a Catholic school in Minnesota Wednesday.

We spoke with Mary Ellen O'Toole -- a former profiler and author who wrote a prominent report on the Columbine High School shooting back in the day -- on "TMZ Live" ... and, she told us it matters to determine motive because these shooters aren't just "crazy."

O'Toole says past behavior plays a huge role in explaining why these shootings happen ... and the reasons are never as simple as good versus evil.

Tom Hiddleston was about ready to look for a "getaway car" after an interviewer not-so subtly brought up his ex, Taylor Swift ... leading to a seriously awkward interview moment.

Watch the video ... Tom discusses his evening routine -- which includes binging sports highlights -- with "Heart" radio host Devin Griffin ... who then, out of the blue, name drops Taylor and her love of making sourdough bread.

Tom is notably confused by the pivot in topic, blinking stoically in response and offering up little comment on the fun fact.

Sydney Sweeney is coming out swinging against her haters for her bathwater soap ... calling out female fans for perpetuating a double standard.

The actress reacted to the soap saga in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, where she remained unapologetic for her Bathwater Bliss drop ... which sold out in seconds and is currently bringing in thousands for those reselling the product.

In Sydney's POV, most of the hate she received for the soap was from her female fans ... which she found "interesting," given this same demographic voiced a desire to buy up Jacob Elordi's bathwater after that spicy "Saltburn" scene.

Julia Fox is clearing the air about her love life -- a year after coming out as a lesbian, she’s now clarifying she’s actually pansexual.

The 35-year-old broke it down in a new interview -- saying she can vibe with anyone (yep, even a guy), 'cause for her it’s all about the "vibes," not the label.

But don’t get it twisted -- she’s not ditching women. Julia told Allure that if it’s purely physical, she’s way more into women ... saying men just don’t do it for her anymore and she’s done entertaining them. She declares, "I could be attracted to anyone and anything."

A female James Bond? Please. Helen Mirren dropped the hammer on that idea -- 'cause she's just licensed that idea to fail!

The iconic Brit told Saga Magazine that even as a hardcore feminist, she’s dead set -- 007 can’t be a woman, because "James Bond has to be James Bond" ... otherwise, it’s a whole different movie. "You can’t have a woman. It just doesn't work," Mirren said.

Pierce Brosnan, Mirren’s "Thursday Murder Club" costar and former 007, agreed -- wishing the next Bond well and saying now he’s just part of the audience, he’s all like, "Show us what you’re going to do!"

Leonardo DiCaprio regrets not hooking up with Rollergirl and Amber Waves back in the 1990s ... admitting he wishes he took the lead role in "Boogie Nights."

The actor sat down with Paul Thomas Anderson -- director of the iconic 1997 film about the porn industry, who also directed Leo in the upcoming flick "One Battle After Another" -- for an Esquire interview ... and, he says he regrets turning down the lead role in a "profound movie of my generation."

DiCaprio admits he can't see anyone besides his pal Mark Wahlberg -- who he actually recommended for the role after they appeared in "The Basketball Diaries" together -- in the part, and he calls the movie a masterpiece ... but, he would've liked to be in it.

Sylvester Stallone is remembering Hulk Hogan as a force to be reckoned with ... and he says we will never see another man like him in wrestling, movies or reality TV.

The 'Rocky' star tells TMZ ... Hulk had a glow about him when they met way back in 1982 on the set of "Rocky III" ... and Sly knew Hulk was destined for superstardom.

Hulk was still establishing himself at the time, and Sly says he found out very quickly the monstrous Hogan was smarter, gentler and more skilled than he looked.

A wildlife advocate says the fireworks in Big Bear could seriously impact the young bald eagles born just a few months ago ... and, they need to be stopped.

We spoke with Sandy Steers -- the executive director of the environmental org. the Friends of Big Bear Valley -- about the July 4th fireworks show in the area ... and, she says she worries about all kinds of wildlife this time of year.

However, she's especially concerned about the eagles ... who she say have poor night vision -- and, if they freak out and jump from the nest they could run into a tree or get otherwise hurt.

Keith Urban's got beef with a radio show Down Under after he seemingly ditched his interview when the hosts asked him an X-rated question involving his wife.

It's no secret the country crooner and Nicole Kidman like to keep their relationship private ... but that didn't stop Australia's Mix 102.3 hosts Hayley and Max from bringing her up during a game of "Wall of Truth."

The pair got right into the nitty gritty, asking ... "What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having these beautiful love scenes on TV and radio?"

Judge Mathis isn't going to show up to Diddy's trial and support him ... but, he says those he's close to should -- though he's also questioning Kanye West's reason for making an appearance this week.

We caught up with the TV star Saturday in Los Angeles on the world-famous Rodeo Drive ... and, we had to ask him if he thought Kanye showing up to Diddy's trial Friday would make an impact.

Remember ... Kanye pulled up to the federal courthouse in Manhattan Friday, but he never actually made it into the courtroom. Instead, officials actually opened up a secondary overflow room just for him to watch the trial on a monitor.

Jimmy Fallon and The Weeknd gave a group of Fordham University seniors a surprise they'll never forget -- they crashed their graduation bash at the Lincoln Center campus in New York City!

Check out the video ... the graduating seniors were absolutely gobsmacked when they saw the Grammy-winner walk through the doors and start performing his hit song "Blinding Lights" Thursday -- inspiring an impromptu sing-along.

TMZ is told he even did an encore, singing "Can’t Feel My Face" with fans as well.

Bill Belichick's girlfriend doesn't want to field questions about their relationship ... and, she's not letting him take them either -- 'cause she awkwardly shut down a query about how they met during a CBS interview.

The legendary NFL coach -- who recently took the job as head of the University of North Carolina football team -- sat for a chat on "CBS Sunday Mornings" ... discussing his upcoming book "The Art of Winning," his childhood and his time at the helm of the New England Patriots.

The conversation naturally turned to Jordon Hudson -- Bill's 24-year-old girlfriend ... with interviewer Tony Dokoupil asking if Bill listens to the criticism about their relationship.

Blake Lively's TIME100 honor is a "ridiculous joke" to Megyn Kelly ... who minced no words while slamming the actress' inclusion on TIME magazine's "Most Influential People" of the year list.

Megyn gave a scathing review of Blake being honored as a "Titan" while on the red carpet at the TIME100 gala Thursday night ... telling the Daily Mail she "shouldn't be" at the event at all and "has no influence over anything."

Commenting on her fiery legal battle against her "It Ends with Us" costar Justin Baldoni, the media personality added ... "I think she launched a fake MeToo allegation and she's lived to regret doing it, because virtually every allegation she has made has fallen apart."

Sam Asghari says he's worked with a few legends in his career already ... and one in particular has inspired him -- not with his words, but by his actions.

We caught up with the star at LAX on Friday ... and, we asked him about his fitness routine and any advice he might give to someone who wants to get jacked like him.

Asghari admits it's hard to maintain his body like he does ... and, quite frankly, it's not feasible for everyone for a variety of reasons -- but, he does it because he has to bring his A-game when he's around some film legends.
