11/17/2025 11:28 AM PT -- A rep for the Goldman family tells TMZ ... "The Executor’s acceptance of the claim is a positive acknowledgement of the debt; however, it does not constitute payment. This acceptance simply allows the administration of the claim to move forward in probate. We will continue to monitor the probate process as it progresses.”

O.J. Simpson's estate seems one step closer to paying Fred Goldman money he's owed for winning his wrongful death lawsuit years ago ... because the estate's accepted a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Malcolm LaVergne -- the Simpson estate executor -- filed court documents earlier this week in which he accepts Fred's creditor claim in the "amount of $57,997,858.12 (U.S.), plus judgment interest on the approved amount."

Goldman originally asked for north of $117 million ... but, LaVergne argues that -- despite what he sees as a good faith effort on Goldman's part to determine an accurate amount -- the interest hasn't been calculated correctly.

Johnny Knoxville's made a name for himself as one of the craziest dudes in Hollywood, but it looks like he's settling down a bit ... because he's a married man!

The star of "Jackass" announced he tied the knot with costume designer Emily Ting in an Instagram post Sunday, sharing a pair of photos apparently taken during their wedding ceremony.

Knoxville was obviously feeling the marital bliss, describing himself as "the luckiest and happiest fella in the universe."

Knoxville had some good company at the wedding, too ... the nuptials were officiated by director John Waters, who's worked with the comic stuntman on more than a few occasions.

Knoxville has also collaborated with Ting ... she designed costumes for the "Jackass Forever" and "Jackass 4.5" films, according to USA Today.

This isn't the first marriage for Knoxville, as he was married to Melanie Lynn Cates from 1995 to 2009. They share a daughter.

The saying goes "age ain't nothing but a number" -- but the gap between Blueface and his new boo thang Hazel-E has the "Thotiana" rapper's mama rethinking the math a little bit!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Karlissa Saffold Harvey at the Northridge Mall in L.A. last week ... and it appears we broke the news about the 17-year age difference Blue has with Hazel.

Karlissa was under the impression that Hazel-E was about "38-ish" -- a testament to the "Love & Hip Hop" star's good genes -- but judging from her reaction, her little boy Blue will have to exercise ALL his options.

What do LiAngelo Ball and Drake have in common? They both scored platinum singles this year!!

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced the milestone accomplishment for Gelo's debut track on Monday ... saying "Tweaker" officially hit one million digital units sold.

This is huge news for the 26-year-old athlete-turned-rapper ... as he randomly launched his music career just months ago. Per RIAA, the only other hip-hop and R&B artists to secure platinum singles in 2025 are Drake, Lil Tecca, BigXthaPlug, and Mariah The Scientist.

President Trump says "somebody" is responsible for bringing white nationalist Nick Fuentes to dinner at Mar-a-Lago ... and that special someone is Kanye West.

Trump was defending Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Fuentes -- which has caused backlash among Republicans -- when he went down memory lane ... and things got funny, fast.

POTUS awkwardly referred to Kanye only as "somebody" who, unbeknownst to him, invited Fuentes to Mar-a-Lago a couple years ago for dinner. Trump then quickly identified that somebody as Ye.

The new face of "The Bachelorette" looks like she's ready to go back to her soft-swinging ways ... because Taylor Frankie Paul is already making out with guys on set.

Check out these photos of Taylor packing on the PDA with one of her suitors, Casey Hux, during filming in Las Vegas.

Taylor's in a black robe, and she's all over the Casey in a white bathrobe -- they're making out in what appears to be a hotel/casino.

John Oliver's made some big plays for good causes in the past ... and now he's planning on getting rid of a lot of his old stuff in the name of charity.

The comedian announced he's launched an auction website -- aptly named "John Oliver's Junk" -- during Sunday's episode of "Last Week Tonight" while discussing how President Donald Trump's choice to take $1.1 billion away from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting earlier this year has impacted radio and television stations, reports Variety.

All of the proceeds from Oliver's auction are set to go to Public Media Bridge Fund, which is helping broadcasters find new sources of funding.

The auction was apparently inspired by the estate of Bob Ross, which recently sold three of his paintings in an effort to provide support for public broadcasting.

One of Ross' paintings is being offered in Oliver's auction, and several other items featured on "Last Week Tonight" -- including the jockstrap Russell Crowe wore in "Cinderella Man" -- are all up for sale.

Oliver described much of what's up for auction as "a bunch of weird artifacts" his staff accumulated over the show's run.

He's also auctioning off a trip to meet him in New York City, and an opportunity to appear in a graphic over the comedian's shoulder in a future taping of "Last Week Tonight."

Tom Cruise may risk life and limb for his own stunts, but writing his own speeches? Maybe not his most authentic flex -- 'cause his Honorary Oscar remarks sounded suspiciously like Nicole Kidman’s AMC ad playbook!

It was a huge night for Tom at the 2025 Governors Awards on Sunday … where he launched into a whole ode about the magic of the moviegoing experience -- and if you close your eyes, it almost sounds like he’s tag-teaming the same monologue with his ex-wife.

Check out our video mash-up -- because okay sure, it’s not an exact copy-paste job, but Tom goes on about how we come to the movies to laugh and cry together ... which, funny enough, is exactly Nicole’s whole spiel in her iconic preview ad for AMC Theatres.

Well, this is a collab nobody saw coming ... Nicki Minaj is partnering with the Trump Administration to address the United Nations.

The "Anaconda" rapper will reportedly join the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Mike Waltz, to deliver remarks Tuesday in New York City, spotlighting violence committed against Christians in Nigeria. Waltz complimented Nicki in a tweet Sunday, calling her a "principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice."

Nicki tweeted her appreciation, writing in a post ... "Ambassador, I am so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it for granted. It means more than you know."

Marjorie Taylor Greene's working relationship with President Donald Trump has hit a low point ... and she's saying his followers' actions could put her in serious danger.

The U.S. Representative from Georgia shared a tweet about her situation on Sunday and wrote POTUS' recent comments about her supposed lack of support for him have served as a "dog whistle" to his supporters ... some of whom have apparently been trying to antagonize her by sending unwanted pizza deliveries to her house.

And if the pizza deliveries weren't bad enough already -- Greene wrote her construction company's office building received what she described as a "pipe bomb threat."

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak is finally speaking at length about daughter Ariana Biermann's break-up with longtime boyfriend Hudson McLeroy ... she says the split is ultimately for the best.

While fielding questions at BravoCon over the weekend, Kim said ... "I've known them forever and ever. I love them. But they need to grow. They've been together on and off for 10 years and they're just going in different directions."

When she says she's known them forever, she means it ... Hudson and Ariana were born in the same hospital, only 8 hours apart. So, as you can imagine, the families are close ... and according to Kim, that hasn't changed.

Justin Baldoni made an offhanded remark as the cast of "It Ends With Us" was getting ready to shoot a scene ... he says, "Sorry, I missed the sexual harassment training" -- but it was a joke about the wardrobe for the scene.

The video was filed as an exhibit by Wayfarer -- the studio run by Justin -- in his ongoing legal dispute with co-star Blake Lively.

The video shows Blake, Justin, and other background actors prepping for a bar scene.

9:13 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Rick Hilton was physically in the home at the time of the break-in. We're told he is okay and wasn't harmed.

The homes of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" stars Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke were both burglarized Saturday while they were away at BravoCon, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... at around 2 PM Saturday, Sutton's dogwalker called 911 and said the kitchen window was broken. Cops came and took a police report. We don't know if anything was taken.

The more alarming incident was on Saturday night ... Rick Hilton called 911 and said there were 3 burglars inside the family home. Cops came, but apparently the burglars had escaped. Again, we don't know if anything was taken.

This weekend’s TMZ Brunch Tour crew was all about keeping things sunny side up despite L.A.'s grim weather ... partying with Jackie Long, who had extra reason to toast with us!

Catch the fun ... Jackie was in full Sunday Funday mode, telling everyone on the tour he’s expecting a baby girl with his wife, which only cranked the party up ... with drinks flowing as we rolled through hot spots like The Henry, TomTom, and The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker.

It was all hands on deck -- shots flying, music shaking the bus, and the whole vibe so loud we had random people on the sidewalk joining the party!

Deion Sanders couldn't help but get emotional when Shedeur Sanders made his NFL regular-season debut on Sunday ... admitting he was in tears as his son took the field for the Cleveland Browns.

The fifth-round pick logged his first official snaps for the Orange and Brown in the second half of Cleveland's AFC North matchup with the Baltimore Ravens ... a sight some fans have been begging to see for weeks with fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel struggling as the starter.

The former Oregon quarterback was forced out of the game due to a concussion ... paving the way for Sanders to get his shot ... and his proud pops and former coach in Colorado was watching.
