Michael Irvin says it doesn't matter if San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York pays a woman to have sex with him ... because even guys who don't hook up with sex workers have to pay to get a little action!
The former NFL wide receiver defended the billionaire owner on N3on's stream recently ... saying it really shouldn't be anyone's business if a dude doles out cash to sleep with a woman.
Mike argues people are always paying for it ... whether by buying someone else's dinner, giving someone an expensive present, or whatever else -- noting all relationships have an inherently transactional component.
Alan Jackson -- the big-time defense attorney who represented Karen Read in Massachusetts during both her criminal trials -- says he sees similarities between her case and Lindsay Clancy's .... especially in the controversial way both were handed a mistrial.
Jackson joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday shortly after a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court justice upheld the mistrial ruling ... and he says the justice system in Massachusetts going after Lindsay again and failing to get a conviction would be a serious black eye.
He says he felt it was a "travesty" when Karen's case ended in a mistrial the first time ... adding he didn't understand when the judge didn't poll individual jurors to see if they'd come to some type of verdict.
Perez Hilton apparently wanted to die at the hands of police, allegedly saying on his TikTok live stream that he was willing to hurt cops to make it happen -- according to documents obtained by TMZ.
We've reviewed call logs detailing dispatch audio ... and one of the logs shows that the subject said on TikTok Live that he "wants to die by suicide by cops, and he will hurt police."
We've also learned fire and rescue crews were initially told they could leave the area around 9:13 PM by cops ... but, nearly two hours later, cops asked them to return to the house and eventually entered the home with officers -- a strange development given Perez's serious need for medical attention.
The pair had it out Friday afternoon on their weekly podcast after Judge William F. Sullivan declared a mistrial in the case Friday morning ... and Harvey thinks the D.A. will think twice before asking for a retrial.
As we reported ... Lindsay Clancy's attorney -- Kevin Reddington -- asked Judge Sullivan for time so he could appeal the mistrial decision to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ... and the judge gave him an hour.
8:32 AM PT -- Wow -- Reddington just told the judge he wanted to immediately go to the Massachusetts Supreme Court to reverse what he called "this travesty." He asked the judge not to dismiss the jury until the Supreme Court ruled. The judge gave Reddington 1 hour to go to the Supreme Court. This is high tension.
Lindsay Clancy's fate remains unsettled, after the judge ruled the holdout juror will remain on the case.
Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, was clearly upset, challenging the judge that he was not considering the concern of 11 jurors that the holdout is violating the law by not properly considering reasonable doubt. The judge fired back ... he has sufficiently probed and believes the holdout is fit to serve.
When the jurors walked in, and the judge was speaking to them about following the law, the female jurors were nodding their heads in agreement. The male jurors were not nodding.
5:41 AM PT --Tiger Woods pled guilty to reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test. The golfer will have his driver's license suspended for 5 years, and he will have to pay a $1000 fine.
The judge warned Tiger that if he drove on his suspended license, he could go back to jail.
Tiger Woods is back in court to change his plea in his DUI case ... and TMZ is streaming live as it unfolds Wednesday morning.
Tiger arrived to court with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump.
The golf legend is scheduled to appear at 8:30 AM ET in Martin County, Florida, for a change-of-plea hearing stemming from his March rollover crash near his Jupiter Island home.
Woods previously pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of DUI with property damage and refusing to submit to a lawful test. It's not yet clear what plea he plans to enter Wednesday -- or whether he's reached a deal with prosecutors.
Former UFC star Rampage Jackson almost opened up a can of whoop ass on his cameraman, chasing after the shutterbug and then firing him after the two got into a heated argument that was captured on a live stream.
Check out the intense moment, captured on both Rampage and DeenTheGreat's streams ... which starts off with Rampage and the cameraman -- who is offscreen -- having a back-and-forth about who talks more crap about each other's "people."
At one point, Rampage asks the cameraman for an example of how he talks crap -- but the photog doesn't care to get into it and tries to cut the convo short.
Closing arguments have ended in the Tupac Shakur murder trial ... and now the jury have began deliberating.
As you know, Duane "Keffe D" Davis has been charged with first-degree murder for the iconic artist's 1996 killing ... making him the only person to ever be criminally charged in Tupac's death.
Prosecutors aren't accusing Keffe D of firing any shots himself, but argue that he was the one calling them.
They say that -- based on his own police interviews and memoir anecdotes -- KD orchestrated the Las Vegas shooting as retaliation for a fight Tupac and his crew got in with his nephew earlier that night.
Closing arguments inLindsay Clancy's triple-murder trial just wrapped up.
The final pitches -- from prosecutors and the defense -- came after more than 20 days of testimony in the Massachusetts mother’s closely watched trial.
Lindsay is accused of strangling her three children -- 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson and 8-month-old Callan -- and then attempting suicide inside their home in January 2023.
She has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder ... with her defense arguing she was suffering from postpartum psychosis, and, therefore, not criminally responsible for the killings.
