Erik Menendez owned his past by acknowledging he was a "spoiled brat" growing up, but things have radically changed.

Erik and Lyle Menendez were on TMZ's "2 Angry Men" podcast with Mark Geragos and Harvey Levin, and Harvey was blunt ... telling Erik when he covered their trial many years ago, his impression -- which was shared by many others -- was that they were spoiled brats.

Erik was clear ... guilty as charged, saying back then he thought he could mask his insecurities with expensive clothes and fancy cars. He went on to say measuring success by the stuff he acquired was ridiculous.

Trevor Noah's posing a loaded question ... was integration the right thing for America?!?

The former 'Daily Show' host discussed the controversial topic on his podcast "What Now? with Trevor Noah," suggesting segregation may have been for the best.

Trevor says he's taking all of the negative things out of the equation here -- racism, oppression, lack of opportunities -- and just looking at segregation and integration on the most basic, fundamental level.

Alix Earle used some tiny bikinis to make a big announcement Monday ... showing off her smokin' hot bod in some barely there bathing suits to reveal she's making a return to Sports Illustrated Swim.

Earle and S.I. Swim officials took to their Instagram pages to let the world know she's coming back to the mag for Round 2 in 2025 ... and based on some of the preview shots they shared, there's certainly going to be a whole lot of people happy she made the decision.

Village People lead singer Victor Willis says he got an apology from comedian Jim Jefferies for saying "Y.M.C.A." is code for gay sex, but he cops to the fact the song definitely can be taken 2 ways.

Victor jumped on TMZ's "2 Angry Men" podcast with Harvey and Mark Geragos, and admitted when he wrote the iconic song the lyrics were a double entendre -- straight people could interpret 'hangin' out with all the boys' as maybe playing hoops, while gay people could view it as gettin' down in various places at the facility.

By the way ... we contacted Jim Jefferies, who said Victor's wife Karen called him and said he could call "Y.M.C.A." a gay anthem but not say it's about "sex in the showers." Jim agreed not to keep talking about it -- but says he did not apologize.

Gillie says the bullets that killed his rapper son YNG Cheese in June 2023 weren't meant for him -- the 25-year-old was simply in the wrong time and place when a drive-by occurred.

Wendy Williams is going to Miami this weekend for her dad's 94th birthday -- it's the first time she's been able to socialize in many many months -- and she'll be spending time with her son, whom she believes took advantage of her financially and triggered her guardianship.

Wendy appeared on Harvey and Mark Geragos' podcast, "2 Angry Men," and they asked her whether it was going to be awkward interacting with her son, Kevin. As Mark noted, Wendy handled it diplomatically -- and made it clear she's looking forward to seeing Kevin.

Wendy talks about the mishandling of her money in TMZ's new documentary, "Saving Wendy," which is streaming for free on Tubi. She says her guardianship was launched after her bank, Wells Fargo, noticed a number of hefty unauthorized withdrawals were being made. Wendy believes Kevin and others were behind it. Kevin has said he did nothing wrong.

Armie Hammer is sticking to his word that he is not a cannibal ... but he is copping to eating a freshly killed animal's heart while on a hunting trip with his pals.

The "Social Network" actor set the scene for the gory memory on Tuesday's "The Louis Theroux Podcast," explaining that taking a bite out of an animal's heart is "almost an overly charged male rite of passage when you go hunting for your first time."

He confirmed he did not eat the whole heart ... and that he did not consume it for "the purpose of any cannibalism or any sexual gratification."

Justin Baldoni says he needs time to heal from an intense year ... admitting he's exhausted and anxious from a bunch of stress.

Justin sat for the interview a month prior to Blake Lively's first court filing accusing the "It Ends With Us" actor-director of sexual harassment and a public smear campaign ... and it's pretty evident his trying time with Blake on set is the cause of all his stress here.

Justin Baldoni is breaking his silence amid his ugly legal battle with Blake Lively, saying in a teary-eyed promo clip for a soon-to-be-aired interview he's had an "intense year."

Baldoni sat down with Samir Mourani -- host of the "Gent's Talk" podcast -- for an emotional face-to-face, recorded a month prior to Lively's first court filing accusing the "It Ends With Us" actor-director of sexual harassment and publicly smearing her name.

Khloé Kardashian is revealing her workout motivation ... and it's S-E-X.

Khloé admitted her true intentions behind staying in shape during a conversation with Disso Queen Laura Wasser on her podcast, "Khloe In Wonder Land."

Justin Baldoni's lawyer has an ace in the hole in his client's legal war with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds ... and the threat of a Taylor Swift deposition can go a long way here.

TMZ has a new podcast with Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos -- "Two Angry Men" -- and in our first episode we broke down the Blake-Baldoni beef with special guest Bryan Freedman, the attorney repping Justin.

Harvey hammers Bryan about potentially deposing Taylor ... because she's central to the dispute by virtue of her involvement in an infamous meeting between Justin, Blake and Ryan.

Alex Cooper clearly doesn't care it's still winter ... she's already putting her bathing suit body on full display.

Check it out ... the "Call Her Daddy" podcaster practically looks like Spring Break Barbie come to life thanks to a get-up featuring a hot pink one-piece swimsuit, a pink and orange windbreaker, and matching shades.

While Alex's colorful ensemble may be currently out of season, it makes sense, given the fact she's promoting her spring break tour ... which is set to hit Miami for three nights in March.

Steve-O baldly went where no stuntman has gone before -- courtesy of Mark Wahlberg himself, who took clippers to his head, all in honor of Mark's latest movie role.

MW's playing a balding hitman in "Flight Risk," and Steve-O wanted in on the look. So, the actor went full barber mode, and you can watch the transformation in this "Wildride! with Steve-O" clip.

Steve-O going all in on the wild look was totally on brand. Meanwhile, Mark was clearly loving his side gig as a hairstylist -- who knew Wahlberg had shear talent?

Unfortunately for James, the viewership numbers didn't back his claim -- as the NFL drew in 65 million U.S. viewers for its two games ... which was much more than the NBA got for its five games throughout the holiday.
