Joe Rogan's drawing a line when it comes to supporting President Donald Trump -- he's calling out the White House for horrific reports of non-criminals getting deported and thrown in max-security Central American prisons.

On his latest "The Joe Rogan Experience" episode, Joe and guest Konstantin Kisin dig into the reported case of a gay barber who entered the U.S. legally, but was arrested in an ICE sweep of members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

The story seems to line up with The New Yorker's report on Andry Jose Hernandez Romero, a 31-year-old gay makeup artist from Venezuela seeking asylum in the U.S. He was reportedly taken into ICE custody over a crown tattoo that was mistaken for a Tren de Aragua gang identifier -- and sent to a prison in El Salvador.

Gavin Newsom says he'll keep cozying up to conservatives on his podcast, because Democrats have to talk to Republicans ... if they're gonna start beating 'em at the polls.

California's Governor opened up about his "This Is Gavin Newsom" pod while chatting with Bill Maher on Friday night's episode of 'Real Time' ... and he dismissed critics who say he shouldn't be "platforming" right-wing leaders and viral figures like Steve Bannon or Charlie Kirk.

Newsom admitted, "The Democratic brand is toxic now" and believes his party needs to try to find some common ground with its GOP opponents to turn things around on election days.

Kanye West and Andrew Tate didn't just hang out in a recording studio and take photos together ... they also sat down and recorded a podcast.

Andrew's girlfriend and sexual assault accuser Bri Stern mentions the podcast in her lawsuit against Tate, claiming Tate and Kanye filmed the episode earlier this month in Los Angeles ... before Tate allegedly attacked her during rough sex.

We previously obtained photos Kanye and Tate took the night of the alleged incident ... and this was also the same night Kim Kardashian yanked North West out of Kanye's recording studio after Ye invited the Tate brothers to join them.

Adam22 says he was NOT picked up by the feds, contrary to reports, but he tells us Uncle Sam paid him a visit regarding the Big U case and Nipsey Hussle's murder.

We got the "No Jumper" podcast host at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank and we asked him about Wack 100 claiming he was arrested by federal agents.

Adam22 says the feds talked to him about the Big U case and they wanted to get their hands on a cease-and-desist letter Big U sent Adam's podcast regarding an episode where Luce Cannon claimed Big U had prior knowledge of Nipsey's death before the fatal March 2019 shooting.

Holly Madison’s done with Zak Bagans for good this time -- and she's making it pretty darn clear there's no chance of them reuniting.

On the "Girls Next Level" podcast she co-hosts with Bridget Marquardt, Holly admitted it probably didn't sound too convincing since she and Zak had been on and off for years ... but this time, they even unfollowed each other on social media.

Holly explained they had never unfollowed each other previously, and Bridget summed it up perfectly, saying the unfollows were the real sign it was over. After all, who wants to be reminded of an ex every time they check their apps?

Corey Feldman’s been nursing one serious grudge for years, and he’s finally letting it rip -- claiming that none other than Johnny Depp is the reason his Hollywood career took a nosedive.

On Billy Corgan’s "The Magnificent Others" podcast, Corey dropped a bombshell, saying he was originally cast as Arnie in 1993's "What’s Eating Gilbert Grape" -- and Depp pushed him out of the role, which then went to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Corey explained he was already cast in the role before Depp came into the picture. But Depp had more pull at the time and allegedly pulled producers aside, saying he didn’t want to work with him because he thought Feldman was a "junkie."

Josh Peck has shared more insight as to why he excluded the "Drake & Josh" cast from his 2017 wedding ... and it has nothing to do with his formerly distant relationship with his costar Drake Bell.

Drake joined Josh for a two-part reunion on his "Good Guys" podcast this week ... and in  Thursday's release, Josh admits he wanted to completely "leave it all behind" because he felt like the show "didn't serve" him anymore.

Josh was 30 when he walked down the aisle with Paige O'Brien ... but now, at 38, he says he realized he would have invited so many more people, including Drake and their costar Miranda Cosgrove, who played their menacing little sister on the hit show.

Chappell Roan ain't hitting up the "Pink Pony Club" solo anymore ... and, she hasn't been for a while apparently -- 'cause she's going steady with someone!

The singer-songwriter stopped by Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast ... and casually dropped she's dating someone -- admitting they've been together for about 6 months.

Roan adds it's not a casual fling, but instead a super serious 'ship ... so, sounds like CR's locked up.

Joe Rogan is riding hard for Justin Baldoni ... tearing into Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds for lawyering up against him.

It all went down on "The Joe Rogan Experience" over the weekend, where Joe called out Blake and Ryan for screwing up big time -- his guest, Brendan Schaub, agreed, saying the backlash they’re getting is well-earned for trying to weaponize the #MeToo movement against Baldoni.

Joe slammed Blake and Ryan for trying to hijack "It Ends with Us" -- the movie where all this drama started -- saying plain and simple, it’s Baldoni’s film ... and his production company, Wayfarer Studios, owns the rights to the film and its sequel.

"Bluey" might’ve already conquered the U.S. as the No. 1 most streamed series for 2024, but now its upcoming movie could be making a run for awards season, says one of its voice actors, Melanie Zanetti.

We caught up with Melanie on TMZ's "Big Down Under" podcast, and when we asked if she thinks the Bluey movie, set for release in '27, could snag an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, she basically said she and the team are down for whatever success comes their way.

As of now, it’s looking like the Bluey movie’s getting the full A-list Hollywood treatment, with Melanie going full top-secret mode, saying she can’t spill too much just yet.

Remember when Cynthia Erivo threw some "Wicked" shade at her fellow auditionees? Well, that side-eye might’ve been aimed at Amanda Seyfried!

Amanda appears to have indirectly spilled the tea on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast this week -- we already knew she auditioned for the role of Glinda, but here’s the kicker -- she says she actually sang alongside Cynthia in auditions before Ariana Grande landed the role.

Cool moment for Amanda, sure -- but let’s rewind to November when Cynthia told the New York Times that Ariana landing the role was no shocker, adding, "Thank goodness, because it was not the two ladies that I was auditioning with."

Teddi Mellencamp just dropped some pretty shocking news ... she's back in dating mode and has already gone out a few times!

TM spilled the tea on the recent episode of her podcast with Tamra Judge -- "Two Ts in a Pod."

Saying she had been on a number of dates, TM highlighted one guy who she started talking to around the time of her brain surgery.

DJ Vlad rebukes the notion his interviews put people in jail ... Big U, Bricc Baby just got locked up on RICO charges, and have done VladTV interviews in the past -- but they don't discuss active cases!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked with Vlad on Thursday to discuss the sweeping Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips takedown ... VladTV is mentioned one time in the federal complaint stemming from the interview Vlad and Adam22 had last year.

Big U sent a cease-and-desist to "No Jumper" to take down an interview that allegedly contained some of the crimes listed on the feds' docs ... and Adam just resurrected the clip.

Aussie reality TV veteran David Genat is living it up on "Deal or No Deal Island" ... and he's dishing on why he hopped over to the U.S. to try to chase down "the biggest prize in TV history!"

David -- AKA "The Golden God" -- spilled the tea on the "Big Down Under" podcast ... saying getting paid to live it up in Panama and compete for a jaw-dropping $10M prize is pretty much the ultimate reality gig!

David also dishes on how this show blows "American Survivor" out of the water, pointing out its $1M prize barely registers after Uncle Sam takes his cut ... especially after "going through hell" to win the show.

Adam22 is swatting down accusations that his "No Jumper" platform led to the arrests of Big U, Bricc Baby, Luce Cannon ... all familiar faces on his podcasts!!!

According to the federal complaint, several comments and recounts made on the "No Jumper" podcast played a significant part in the sweeping raids that led to 18 arrests of Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips members, including Big U, who feds say is the ringleader.

Charges include drug trafficking, conspiracy, firearms offenses and bank fraud ... and feds were tipped off from the loose lips on the podcast mics.

Christina Applegate says she's been hospitalized "upwards of 30 times" from throwing up, diarrhea, and excruciating pain ... and she thinks it stems from her MS.

The "Married... with Children" star -- who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021 -- opened up about her rather crappy experiences on her latest 'MeSsy' podcast episode as she and her cohost Jamie-Lynn Sigler addressed a note from a listener also battling the autoimmune disease and dealing with frequent diarrhea and vomiting.

During the candid discussion, CA admits when she needs to go No. 2, she oftentimes also pukes ... and is certain there's a correlation between her upset stomach and MS, despite doctors not being totally convinced.
