Interview

QVC personality Toni Brattin's viral on-air slip-up had social media in a frenzy ... but the longtime host tells us the network was nothing but supportive after the unforgettable NSFW live TV moment.

Toni -- who's been in the television business for 30 years -- says she tried to play it off in the moment after mistakenly saying "blow job" instead of "blowout."

She says she immediately realized there was no taking the words back ... telling us she was hoping producers would switch to another camera, which is the reason why she comically froze for a few seconds before continuing the presentation.

Toni says everyone was able to laugh about it once the broadcast ended, revealing to us QVC approached her the following morning and reassured her.

Bella Thorne says she doesn't need to step out of the blunt rotation when hanging with Snoop Dogg ... claiming she can go toke for toke with the Doggfather!

The actress appeared on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast in an episode published Wednesday ... and Alex asked Bella about some of her harder partying days.

Bella says she was in her music era at the time ... having fun, hanging with music producers and more cool people -- including Snoop.

Alex asks if the rumor is true that she can hold her green as well as the rap legend ... and she says it's the truth -- she really can smoke tree with the Top Dogg.

"The View" cuts Whoopi Goldberg such a fat paycheck, even her fellow celebrities can't imagine the paydays!!!

Whoopi raved about her talk show contract during a guest appearance on Keke Palmer's podcast ... playfully boasting she makes more than Keke could ever comprehend.

They're joking and having a good time ... but Whoopi's laughing all the way to the bank!

She's been on the show since 2007 ... and quipped that the money's so good, she doesn't even mind that she's been "crazy glued to that chair."

Stassi Schroeder says she thought Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" would eventually come out ... but now she's not sure ... because she says TFP can't get out of her own way.

The former "Vanderpump Rules" star -- who is now starring in her own reality TV show, "House of Stassi" -- appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe's "Off the Vine" podcast where the pair discussed the controversial "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star.

Kaitlyn asked Stassi if she thinks Taylor's 'Bachelorette' season -- which has been on ice since we released video of a shocking 2023 confrontation between herself and her ex, Dakota Mortensen -- will hit the airwaves.

Stassi said a couple weeks ago she was 100% sure it would air ... but now, given the legal complications Taylor's facing, she's not so sure.

Scott Eastwood says he was ready to whoop Shia LaBeouf's ass on the set of "Fury" ... until Brad Pitt jumped in and broke it up.

Scott revisited the tense encounter on Monday's episode of "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard" ... saying Shia's extreme method acting had already convinced him to keep his distance.

According to Scott, Shia pulled out a tooth and cut his own face while preparing for the 2014 war movie ... leaving Clint Eastwood's son thinking, "This guy's crazy."

Things finally boiled over when Scott spit tobacco juice on the movie's tank -- something his character was specifically instructed to do in the script -- and Shia took exception.

Evan Rachel Wood won't appear in "Practical Magic 2" ... and she finally shed some light as to why she was left without a broom for the upcoming sequel.

Here's the deal ... a follow-up to the hugely popular Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock '90s film was announced last year -- and, at the time, Evan said she'd been dumped, despite telling filmmakers she really wanted to reprise her role.

Fast forward to the "Spider-Man" premiere Monday night, when ERW was asked what happened ... and she graciously said the upcoming film goes a different direction from the book, which meant her character was SOL.

Gabrielle Cheyenne -- the woman who Usher kicked off stage after she wasn't feeling his steamy serenade -- has a confession ... she was at the show for Chris Brown ... and her reaction would have been totally different if Breezy brought her on stage.

Gabrielle joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked her why she wasn't feeling Usher.

Usher and Chris are touring together, and Gabrielle says she's more loyal to Breezy than Ush ... so much so, her reaction would have been way different if it was Chris who called her up on stage.

Sometimes collabs come around ... and Keri Hilson would be down to team up with Kanye West again, despite his controversial choices.

The "Pretty Girl Rock" singer stopped by "The TMZ Podcast," where she tells us she always had a good time making music with Ye.

Remember, Ye's ruffled plenty of feathers by making antisemitic remarks, selling shirts with swastikas, and calling slavery a choice.

The man who photographed the scene as Nolan Wells' body was found is ready and willing to turn over those images to his family ... he tells TMZ, they just have to ask.

Brian Trascher -- the United Cajun Navy vice president -- talked to our Charlie Neff about joining the search, and described the photos he took as he was flying over Horn Island on the morning of July 6, when authorities found Nolan dead on the shoreline.

Brian explains why he didn't immediately notify Nolan's parents about the images, but he says he's not trying to hide anything ... and if they want to see them, he's an open book.

Ed Harris was super pissed at the way his character was treated on the "Yellowstone" spinoff "Dutton Ranch," so much so that he wanted to leave the show halfway through filming.

The legendary actor unloaded on the Taylor Sheridan show in an interview with Variety at the Monday night premiere of Apple TV’s "The Dink" ... pointing to one scene that made his blood boil.

Ed, who plays veterinarian Everett McKinney, hated the scene where Everett was chatting with Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) at a bar when Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) walked in and told Everett it's his turn to sing.

When Everett walked up to the mic, the director cut the scene and the song out completely. Ed was furious, telling Variety, "I'm going, 'f*** you, people.'"

Sharon Stone is taking her health into her own hands ... cutting out weed and one of the medications she was prescribed following her nearly fatal 2001 stroke.

The "Casino" star says she's living a drug-free life ... telling Variety she decided to get off her stroke medication against her doctor's orders. She said it wasn't easy, recalling... "It was like going off of f***ing heroin. I was sick as a frigging dog for four and a half months."

Once she got off the medication, Sharon says she turned her attention to pot ... and she got sick when she stopped blazing.

Sharon thinks she got sick because "they put so much stuff" in cannabis products these days ... explaining, "It’s not like you’re pulling it out of the ground anymore. It’s not like when we were kids. I got pretty sick for a month. I went to my neurologist, and he said, 'Sharon, I’ve had people dying in the emergency room from marijuana.'"

JD Vance isn't saying amen to a report claiming President Trump was "anointed by Jesus" to bomb Iran ... telling Joe Rogan people need to rein it in.

Check out the VP's appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" ... Joe reads an account claiming American troops were told Trump had been chosen by Jesus to attack Iran and set the stage for Armageddon -- and JD has plenty to say in response.

Joe's reaction comes first and fast -- "Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes!" -- before Vance jokes the situation might call for some of the psychedelics they discussed during his last visit to the podcast.

The "Love Island USA" villa is full of double standards ... at least according to one of the most recent contestants -- who felt she was on the receiving end of sexist attitudes.

Here's the deal ... Kenzie Annis -- who appeared on Season 8 of the hit show -- sat down with Alex Cooper on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast ... and they discussed her costars' reactions to her making out with Corbin while she was coupled up with Caleb, a revelation discovered by the group during the "Movie Night" episode where Islanders watch clips of themselves the audience has seen.

Kenzie was torched for stringing multiple men along ... but when the group found out a male contestant named Sincere Rhea was with two women, Sol and Melanie, at the same time -- and eventually Amora from Casa Amor -- they didn't attack him with nearly the same vigor.

Nolan Wells' high school football coach, Tracy Lampley, is breaking his silence on the death investigation ... and he doubts race was involved.

Tracy joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday ... and we asked him if there were racial tensions at their Mississippi high school.

Nolan's coach says that's not the vibe he gets ... telling us the students "grew up together" and "played together."

What's more, Coach Tracy says Nolan got along with everyone ... remembering him for his big smile and big personality. He says people gravitated towards Nolan.

Waffle House better give Rockstar Riley a raise and a lifetime supply of waffles ... because the guy going viral for rapping his Waffle House-themed song says a seven-figure recording contract isn't enough to make him quit his day job.

The viral rapper tells TMZ ... he would still work at Waffle House if a record label came to him with a $1 million deal.

While it may sound crazy, Rockstar Riley says he loves his Waffle House so much, he wouldn't walk away ... telling us the work environment feels like a community.

The dude says he's seen servers and cooks put their families through college and pay off medical expenses, all while working at the famous chain restaurant.

Ice-T's heating his TV career back up ... because after a part-time role on season 27 of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," he promises fans will see him in every episode of season 28.

The legendary rapper and actor stopped by for a long convo with Towanda Robinson on "The TMZ Podcast" ... and our team had to ask him about Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola -- the character he's played on the show since the show's second season way back in 2000.

Ice-T explains he was a part-time performer last year because producers needed some extra cash to bring Kelli Giddish's character Amanda Rollins back to the program ... a decision he says didn't upset him one bit.
