Cher’s stepping up for the L.A. Zoo elephants, saying they’ve been through enough -- and while their reported Oklahoma move might offer more space, a zoo’s still a cage ... just with a bigger backyard.

The icon, who’s been fighting for Billy, Tina, and other animals for years, didn’t miss a beat when L.A. resident John Kelly sued to block their move to Tulsa Zoo -- she jumped in with a declaration backing their freedom, saying a sanctuary, not another zoo, is where they belong.

In her declaration to the L.A. County Superior Court, Cher said the elephants have done their time in confinement -- now they deserve a shot at peace and dignity.

Jennifer Lopez is in a celebratory mood ... because she just finished shooting her upcoming film, "Office Romance," and she's now hitting the beach for some R&R.

The actress/singer gave everybody a sneak peek at her day at the beach in a video she uploaded to Instagram Sunday. Wherever she is, the place looks like paradise and J Lo seems ecstatic to be there.

Check out the video ... J Lo, clad in a white bikini top and pink maxi skirt, pirouettes on the sand near the water as music plays in the background. She writes in the caption, “That FREE feeling… it’s a wrap #OfficeRomance.” The romantic comedy, which will be released on Netflix, stars J Lo and actor Brett Goldstein, who also co-wrote the movie.

Naomi Judd's song "Have Mercy" may have become her widower's anthem at least once ... 'cause he confirmed that she once fired a bullet at him.

The two-part Lifetime docuseries "The Judd Family: Truth Be Told" is rolling out this weekend ... and, in it, Naomi's widower -- Larry Strickland -- was asked about a story Judd put in her 1993 memoir "Love Can Build a Bridge."

In the memoir, Judd says she and Strickland -- who she married in 1989 -- were "wildly, madly, passionately in love" ... but, Strickland was never around because she claims in the book he was cheating on her.

The Kardashian clan continues to grow and prosper ... and this Mother's Day we're celebrating the proliferation of Calabasas' favorite family.

The next generation began when Kim K and Kanye West got together and produced the first batch of offspring -- North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West.

Kim's sister Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick were next, with Mason Dash Disick, Penelope Scotland Disick, and Reign Aston Disick. Of course, Kourtney later found her true love, Travis Barker, and they welcomed Rocky Barker.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce ain't brothers ... but, they certainly brought the love to Philadelphia -- and, their fans can now breathe a sigh of relief.

The two stepped out in the city together on Sunday ... and, someone snapped a pic of them hanging out inside a restaurant.

Check out the photos ... Taylor's flashing a big grin while walking through the place while her man follows along behind her -- looking a bit more stoic.

Judge Arun Subramanian will be an integral part of the Diddy's trial -- which should kick off in earnest Monday with opening arguments ... but, before he became a judge, he was just a civil attorney who really cared about his clients.

We spoke with Mary and Joel Rich -- a couple Arun represented in a lawsuit against Fox News after the network ran a story claiming their son leaked thousands of Democratic party emails to Wikileaks in 2016.

After they settled their lawsuit with the network, Mary and Joel say they wanted to take their legal team out to dinner in New York City to thank them for all their hard work ... and, Arun immediately agreed to come -- with one caveat.

Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus might actually be reconciling ... 'cause Billy Ray just heaped praise on his ex-wife -- and admitted he's at fault for many of their marital issues.

The singer-songwriter took to Instagram to share a loving Mother's Day message ... starting with praise for his own mother, Ruthie -- from whom he says he inherited an ear for music.

BRC then asks fans for prayers because his family's so close to healing -- and, to prove it, he shouted out Tish ... who he's seemingly been at odds with since their shocking divorce.

Don't tell Nancy Grace that Diddy's jury should cut him a break for beating and kicking Cassie in the video jurors will watch next week ... she says what you see is EXACTLY the man he is.

Nancy appears on TMZ's new weekly series on Tubi, "TMZ Presents: United States V. Sean Combs: Inside the Diddy Trial," along with Harvey, Mark Geragos, Ashleigh Banfield and Eboni K. Williams.

Eboni suggests the defense will argue Diddy should not be judged by what he did on the worst day of his life. When Nancy heard that, she went ballistic, and everyone else joined in.

3:22 PM PT -- We've got more details on A$AP Rocky's new bling ... with sources telling us this ring contains just over five carats of flawless white diamonds -- as well as more than 110 grams of 18 karat yellow gold.

Jason of Beverly Hills masterfully blended both satin and high-polish finishes all throughout this 3.5-inch tall ring ... using 0.8 milimeter chains to emulate Rocky's boo's free flowing hair.

We're told this isn't a new piece of bling ... 'cause Rocky ordered it a few years ago -- even before he and Rihanna started having kids. But, we gotta say ... it still looks good as new.

Rihanna may be singing about diamonds ... but A$AP Rocky is wearing them -- on a ring shaped just like his Grammy-winning partner.

Check out the masterpiece ... the "Fashion Killa" hitmaker is the proud owner of a gold ring featuring a statue modeled to look exactly like RiRi ... from her face to her rear end.

A$AP showed off the Jason of Beverly Hills design in a behind-the-scenes video with Vogue centered around his Harlem-inspired 2025 Met Gala look, and he could not keep his excitement contained when he picked up his unique accessory.

Miley Cyrus is shooting down rumors that a wrecking ball has torn down her relationship with her mom & the rest of her fam ... letting the world know Tish Cyrus is just bad with tech!

The singer-songwriter posted to Instagram Saturday morning ... admitting she rarely responds to rumors, but she felt like she needed to defend her mom -- who she adds is absolutely her best friend.

MC says -- like many mamas out there -- Tish ain't the best with social media ... and, somehow, she unfollowed Miley without meaning to, exactly like Tish claimed on social media earlier this week.

10:46 AM PT -- Meghan Markle just gave fans an inside look at her fun night at Beyoncé’s "Cowboy Carter" tour -- and there's some PDA with Prince Harry!

One adorable snapshot shows the pair cracking up as they cozied together, while they grin from ear to ear in a selfie.

John Legend is heartbroken to see the "devolution" of his former mentor and friend Kanye West ... saying in a new interview that his rampant antisemitism and anti-Blackness is "sad" to watch.

The "All of Me" hitmaker candidly spoke about his ex-pal while chatting with The Times, explaining he is not the Kanye who signed him to his G.O.O.D. Music record label back in 2004.

He explained ... "Back then Kanye was very passionate, very gifted, and he had big dreams not only for himself but also for all the people around him ... It does feel sad, sometimes shocking, to see where he is now."

Kanye, of course, has had an array of public woes and breakdowns over the years, from bad-mouthing the wife of his four kids, Kim Kardashian -- such as wishing he had children with her friend Paris Hilton instead -- to his more recent shameless passion for all things Adolf Hitler.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" alum Siggy Flicker says karma is coming for Kanye West following his seemingly never-ending antisemitic rants and the recent release of his despicable new song titled "Heil Hitler."

TMZ caught up with Siggy this week after President Trump appointed her to the Holocaust Memorial board. During a Zoom call, Siggy told us that although she agrees with Ye's right to free expression, his Nazi rhetoric will ultimately catch up to him.

In fact, Siggy tells us that Kanye is missing out on the "true gift" of life because he's unable to raise the four children he shares with Kim Kardashian. Instead, Siggy says, Kanye's living in sin by parading his nearly naked wife -- Bianca Censori -- around in public all over the world.
