The New York Knicks once again welcomed some of the biggest names in Hollywood to NYC's Madison Square Garden last night ... only to be upset by the Indiana Pacers for a second time.

It's an underwhelming outlook as the Pacers take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals ... but the Knicks would likely prefer we don't focus on that.

Instead, we're taking note of the A-Listers who showed their support in the Big Apple. Check out our gallery and you'll see the usual famous fans -- including Ben Stiller and Timothée Chalamet.

Justin Bieber just wowed the crowd at Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s "Grand National Tour" ... making a surprise appearance at the Friday night concert in Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium -- and getting a bit handsy with SZA.

Casio told us he heard rumors through the prison grapevine that Tory had a bounty on him ... and, shortly after, Casio ran into him and thought he saw a suspicious lump in Tory's pocket.

5/27/2025 8:00 AM PT -- Chad Reeves' attorney, Glen Jonas, tells TMZ ... "Jamie Grenfell has a 2002 conviction for Felony Perjury relating to an investigation in which he was also convicted for making a false police report in connection with an attempted Insurance Fraud.  Three weeks before trial he filed a verified statement under penalty of perjury in his underlying lawsuit against the Dodgers denying the conviction.  He literally committed perjury about his prior perjury! Meanwhile Lillian Grenfell told a ridiculous story at trial to falsely excuse the fact that she was choking Lindsay Hopkin which forced Mr. Hopkin to defend against a combined attack by the Grenfells.

The Grenfells are bottom feeders that manipulated public with a viral video that was misleading.  This is par for the course for the Grenfells, they have a history of distortion, lies and manipulating the justice system for financial gain.  Here they started a fight, lost and now are trying to turn the melee into a pay out by the Dodgers with their bogus lawsuit. The prosecution's case at trial was not credible and everyone in that courtroom is now dumber for having witnessed it."

Two men have been acquitted of felony battery charges in connection with a parking lot fight after an Elton John concert at Dodger Stadium.

Miley Cyrus' recent infection was like a wrecking ball to her knee ... 'cause she caught something that started to "disintegrate" the area -- after rolling around the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The singer-songwriter appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Thursday night to talk about her upcoming album and accompanying film "Something Beautiful" ... and, Jimmy joked Miley's lucky she wasn't stabbed by a loose needle while rolling around on Hollywood Boulevard.

Cyrus says she didn't end up with a needle to the eye ... but, a few weeks after the shoot, she ended up in the ICU -- mainly because of a space issue instead of the serious nature of the infection.

Rapper Skilla Baby has been hospitalized after he was injured in a drive-by shooting ... which police are calling a "targeted attempt on his life."

However ... he admitted he did "flip" over one theory -- that doctors were trying to clone him, but make him white, so he could "sell better overseas" -- while he was hopped up on a mix of doctor-prescribed drugs.
