Sean "Diddy" Combs is getting extra guidance in court from famed attorney Mark Geragos, but federal prosecutors ain't having it -- because Geragos doesn't have clearance to participate, and frequently discusses the case on his podcast, "2 Angry Men."

Geragos was in court for the first day of jury selection in Diddy's criminal trial -- seated somewhere behind the 7 attorneys Diddy has retained, all of whom have court clearance to defend him.

But, prosecutors say they noticed Geragos and other members of his firm, consulting with the defense team, and they think that's a party foul due to his side gig. In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, they cite a rule barring anyone associated with the defense from making public statements that could "interfere with a fair trial."

Diddy's defense may be aided by the fact there's a lot of noise about celebrity sex tapes and minors being involved in the Diddy criminal case ... those two things are NOT part of the case, and it could have a profound effect on jurors.

On the "2 Angry Men" podcast, Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos explored one of the perceptions out there about the Diddy criminal case ... and how it may swing the jury.

There's a false narrative that celebrity sex tapes and minors are part of the prosecution's evidence against Diddy ... with some folks out there, including potential jurors, under the false impression this case is the hip hop version of Jeffrey Epstein.

Gwyneth Paltrow says she felt like she was being shaken down during her infamous ski crash trial ... adding the very concept of getting sued by someone who was totally at fault stands out as everything wrong with the American legal system.

The actress and businesswoman sat down for a conversation on "The World's First Podcast with Erin and Sara Foster" ... and, she said she found the trial just so ridiculous -- feeling she needed to fight back instead of letting Dr. Terry Sanderson take advantage of her.

Gwyneth says Sanderson being allowed to sue her -- even though he ran into her -- proves the legal system is broken beyond repair.

Christina Applegate's dad passed away ... and, she got emotional while sharing the news -- full-on bawling during a recent podcast episode.

The actress sat down for a conversation on her 'MeSsy' podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler ... telling guest JoAnna Garcia Swisher that she was crying her eyes out because her father, Robert Applegate, passed away about a week before they were recording.

Listen to the clip ... Christina says this podcast appearance is the first time she's really cried following her dad's death -- saying she was too busy to sit and let herself really cry in the days following his passing.

Scott Peterson should get a new trial proving he could not have committed the murders because of new scientific evidence -- so claims the Los Angeles Innocence Project -- but Nancy Grace says the so-called "scientific evidence" is a load of crap.

Nancy appeared on the new episode of the "2 Angry Men" podcast and addressed a new theory that would have made it impossible for Scott Peterson -- who's serving a life sentence for the murders of Laci and their unborn child, Conner -- to have committed the crime.

The L.A. Innocence Project says based on scientific technology that was not available when Peterson was tried back in 2004, fetal testing puts the date of death somewhere between December 28, 2002 and January 5, 2003.

Jon Cryer's relationship with Charlie Sheen hasn't always been smooth ... but, if he had to choose him or President Donald Trump to have their finger on the nuclear button, he says he's taking President Sheen every time.

The veteran actor stopped by the "The MeidasTouch Podcast," and he was asked about a comment he made years ago ... comparing then-candidate Trump to Charlie in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election.

Cryer said, "I have been pointing out, and I have been screaming to the rooftops, that Donald Trump is the Charlie Sheen of politics … I have to tell you, I love Charlie Sheen, I loved working with him when he was sober, but he was, he's full of s***. He has been full of s***, he has serious addiction. His addiction is obviously serious, drugs, but Trump is just addicted to feeling important."

Joe Rogan took aim at Katy Perry and her all-women Blue Origin crew during a new episode of his podcast, calling the brief 11-minute flight "profound" -- with heavy sarcasm.

"She’s basically a guru now," Rogan joked of Katy, who flew alongside Gayle King, Jeff Bezos' fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, astronaut Amanda Nguyễn, former NASA engineer Aisha Bowe, and producer Kerianne Flynn last Monday.

Rogan ridiculed KP for bringing a daisy aboard, which was a nod to her daughter Daisy. "It shows how quick the flight was -- the flower was still alive," Rogan said during his podcast.

Terrence Howard says his new podcast won't pull any punches ... 'cause he plans to take on big-time Hollywood media companies -- something he describes as a "studio's nightmare and every actor's wet dream."

The veteran actor tells TMZ ... he recently started recording a new podcast that pulls back the curtain on the entertainment industry, and intends to release it to the public in the near future.

Howard will speak on the powerful figures behind the scenes in H'wood. Specifically, he tells us he's going to address his ongoing legal battle with CAA, claiming the talent agency allegedly asked him to accept a lower salary while he worked on "Empire." He also says he has plenty to say about the bigwigs over at Disney and FOX.

Bill Maher is scoffing at the far left for slamming him over his visit to the White House ... to paraphrase Mark Antony, he feels he should not be buried, he should be praised!

Bill joined the "2 Angry Men" podcast with Harvey and Mark Geragos, and made it clear ... he spoke truth to power when he broke bread with 47.

As for his evaluation of Trump -- that he was charming, jovial and even self-effacing -- Bill laughed at his critics, wondering if they wanted him to lie. As he said, what's the option -- pulling a Gretchen Whitmer, where she covered her face when a photog snapped a shot in the Oval Office?

Khloé Kardashian may seem cool and collected on the outside ... but, even she's lost it a time or two in her life -- admitting she went totally "ballistic" when she found out her ex-husband Lamar Odom was cheating on her when they were married.

The reality television star opened up about the ex-NBA player's unfaithfulness in an interview on "Call Her Daddy" released Wednesday ... specifically detailing when she tracked Lamar and some woman he was with to a motel in Downtown Los Angeles.

Kardashian -- who was married to Odom from 2009 to 2016 -- says she looked through the window when she got there and "saw in the window that him and this girl were ... they were either naked or she was in lingerie, something like that."

"Hawk Tuah" has been the poster girl for cheeky sex hacks for a while -- and now, one TV personality is letting her know she's actually become a key part of her spicy bedroom antics.

Chanel West Coast popped up on Haliey Welch’s "Talk Tuah" podcast and dropped a wild confession ... ever since that viral clip, she literally can’t give a guy a blowjob without picturing Haliey’s face.

CWC gave a bit more context, saying that during the spicy moment, when she's just about to get her spit on, she literally can’t avoid seeing Hawk’s face smiling back at her right.

Diddy's trial begins in just a few weeks ... and, it seems some of his infamous "freak off" tapes may actually be shown to the jury -- if a new proposed questionnaire is any indication.

The rap mogul's lawyers submitted this questionnaire late Friday ... and, according to the Associated Press, it contains questions about potential jurors' willingness to watch sexually explicit videos or videos that depict physical assault.

Diddy's team also reportedly wants to know about jurors' views on people with multiple sexual partners.

Erik and Lyle Menendez might take the stand next Thursday to convince the judge in their resentencing hearing they're worthy of redemption ... but according to their lawyer, it could be a high-risk move.

Mark Geragos jumped on the "2 Angry Men" podcast Friday from the Van Nuys Courthouse, fresh off a victory where the judge shut down the D.A.'s request to put the kibosh on any resentencing hearing.

Excuse the intro to the clip -- it's a pisser -- but a little ways in, Harvey asks Mark about his strategy to possibly call the bros to the stand. Harvey has spent some time talking to Erik and Lyle, and says plainly they presented themselves as compelling men who might impress the judge.

Novak Djokovic and the people of Australia ain't exactly on the best terms since the pandemic ... and Aussie wheelchair tennis legend Dylan Alcott says many fans have been unfair to the 24x Grand Slam winner!

Things began to go south in 2022, when Novak, a skeptic of the COVID-19 vaccine, was banned from playing in the Australian Open (a 10x A.O. champ) and deported from the country because he didn't get the jab.

Fast forward to 2025 ... Novak pulled out of the Australian Open in the semifinals due to a muscle tear in his leg. The tennis great was heavily criticized in the country.

"Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson is not doing well amid his battle with Alzheimer’s ... and his son Jase says there's no reason to sugarcoat the topic.

Here's the deal ... late last year, Jase made the sad announcement that Phil had Alzheimer’s ... and the 78-year-old’s condition was rough. Since then, he's asked daily about his dad by fans.

"The No. 1 question I get everywhere I go: ‘How’s your dad doing?’” Jase said on the April 2 episode of the "Unashamed with the Robertson Family" podcast. “Now, I’m just giving the blunt truth: I say, ‘Not good.’”

Terrence Howard just gave a glimpse into what he said was the dark side of Hollywood ... and one example he used from his personal experience was none other than Diddy!

The film and TV actor was a recent guest on Patrick Bet-David's "PBD Podcast" ... where he claimed he was targeted by Diddy for sex under the guise of coaching.

TH doesn't say exactly when this alleged attempt by Diddy occurred ... but claims he was invited to Diddy's place when the music mogul asked Terrence for acting lessons.
