The heartbroken "Fast X" star announced on Instagram late Monday night his pup passed over the Rainbow Bridge ... vulnerably writing he feels "numb over this loss."

He added, "We're so grateful for every ounce of pure love he gave our entire family and we’re so grateful he didn’t suffer long as he quietly and bravely left in the night."

Ban or no ban, TikTok's fate is still up in the air so TMZ has done the lord's work in the meantime: we've combed through the best of the best and assembled a fun game of Who'd You Rather, TikTok Edition!!!

From the OG's to the hottest babes, and every 'toker who's cracked the TikTok code, take a good look at stars like Charli D'Amelio and Addison Rae, whose big claim to fame came from dancing in their itsy bikinis ... but which dancing queen would you rather bust a move with?

Bella Poarch and Pinkydoll take TikTok virality to a whole 'nother level -- Bella's infamous "M to the B" vid and Pinkydoll rackin' in stacks of cash with her iconic NPC TikTok live -- however who you gettin' down with more?

LaVar Ball's clearly not down in the dumps over his medical situation ... in fact, he's already joking about it!!

The Big Baller Brand co-founder filmed a Cameo on Thursday for one of his biggest fans -- TikTok user "Primby" -- and in the message, he cracked a joke about his recent amputation surgery.

Ball said to the camera that he was aware everyone's "heard what happened" to his right foot ... but then he laughed off the matter.

Mauricio Umansky's going to have some trouble going through metal detectors for the foreseeable future ... 'cause he's got a new metal casing in his clavicle after his recent nasty skiing accident.

The reality television star posted about his condition Sunday afternoon ... writing a message on Instagram to his fans to tell them he's recovering after his nasty crash.

Umansky says his clavicle was a clean break ... but, it still required surgery -- and he now has a metal plate and 12 screws in the bone.

Kanye West's taking a break from his usual online tirades to celebrate a fellow rapper ... 'cause the self-proclaimed "Nazi" just shouted out Drake's new song.

The rapper took to X Saturday to laud praise on Drizzy ... specifically his new "Gimme A Hug" track -- the song where Drake touched on his rap feud with mortal hip hop enemy Kendrick Lamar.

Ye wrote, "Gimme a hug is incredible. Sheeeeeeesh" -- not exactly the most descriptive review ... but, definitely a positive one from the controversial rapper.

Kim Kardashian knows how to get people to look at her ... and in new Instagram photos she has all eyes glued to her barely covered body.

The SKIMS mogul jumped on IG Thursday and posted three steamy pics -- with two showing her posing in a white bodysuit, and the third capturing her taking off her tank top. Needless to say, she's one hot mama in her sexy lingerie and furry stilettos.

One thing that's inescapable about these photos is Kim appears to be the spitting image of Bianca Censori, wife of Kanye West ... Kim's ex. But if you'd ask Kim ... we'd bet she would say that it's Bianca copying her style.

Fat Joe is reeling in emotion ... currently mourning the death of his father.

On Wednesday, Joey Crack let the world share in his grief that his father Ernesto Cartagena had passed on, posting several never-before-seen family photos.

The world knows Fat Joe as a hip hop legend ... but Joe gave his father the credit for being a true legend in his own eyes.

9:47 AM PT -- Elon has unfollowed Kanye on X.

David Schwimmer is urging Elon Musk to ban Kanye West from X following the rapper's controversial hate-filled rant on the platform.

The "Friends" actor took to Instagram Saturday criticizing Musk and the platform for giving Ye a place to spread hateful and dangerous messages in the wake of Ye's posts claiming he identifies as a Nazi, further declaring he's aiming to "normalize talking about Hitler" ... saying, "Hitler was sooooo fresh."

DS wrote ... "This is so 2022. We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk. Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X."

5:24 PM PT -- LiAngelo Ball just posted a picture with Rashida Nicole ... seemingly making them Instagram official after Nikki Mudarris accused him of abandoning their family earlier in the day.

The "Tweaker" rapper and basketball player has two kids with Nikki Mudarris ... and the reality TV star claims LiAngelo just confessed to cheating on her.

Nikki says ... "I see everyone has been sending me @gelo cheating on me. I want to clear this up and speak my truth. I am just as surprised as you are. We spent 3 1/2 years together, and last week he decided to walk out on his kids and tell me he got someone else pregnant (allegedly) and now is creating a new life with her."

Ashanti has broken her silence on the death of Irv Gotti ... and her heartfelt message made it clear she cared for him deeply ... but it certainly wasn't always great between the duo.

In her IG message Friday night, Ashanti called the late cofounder of Murder Inc. a "musical genius" who had the "ability to push me to be my best."

The music mega-producer -- who worked with big acts like DMX, Ja Rule and Ashanti -- died Wednesday in New York City. It's currently unclear exactly how he died.

Kanye West is once again spewing antisemitic hate speech ... saying he's cool with Adolf Hitler and identifies as a Nazi in a shocking rant against Jewish people.

Ye has been on a tweeting tirade through the night and into Friday morning ... ranging from devout support of Diddy, to now his clear hatred of Jews.

In addition to identifying as a Nazi, Ye goes a step further, declaring he's aiming to "normalize talking about Hitler" ... saying, "Hitler was sooooo fresh."

Ja Rule is mourning the loss of music legend Irv Gotti ... who launched the rapper's career in the '90s and elevated him in the early '00s.

Following word of the Murder Inc. cofounder's death, Ja Rule posted to Instagram a black-and-white tribute to Gotti ... along with a short but poignant message for his late mentor.

Check it out ... Ja Rule uploaded a profile shot of Gotti to his feed and shared a pic of himself up close with the mega producer.

Swimsuit season isn't actually a time of year, but a state of mind ... just ask birthday girl and Internet personality Hannah Stocking.

The comedienne turned 33 on Tuesday, but she has routinely proven that she is only getting hotter with age. Just take a peek at her most sizzlin' hot shots, many of which feature skin-showing 2-pieces that are nothing to laugh at.

Hannah appeared to channel Dominatrix Barbie in one pleather-looking bikini ... which barely covered up her curves thanks to some strategically placed buckles and cutouts. We're guessing vanilla isn't her favorite flavor!!!

Offended by Antonio Brown's X page? The former NFL star says you shouldn't be ... telling TMZ Sports all of his crass content is supposed to be "comedy."

The ex-Pittsburgh Steelers wideout has found himself in hot water repeatedly over the last year or so over some commentary he's made on Elon Musk's app.

Jessica Alba says she and her celeb pals are letting go of what doesn't serve them as they welcome a new moon for Kerry Washington's birthday.

The actress-turned-businesswoman shared a clip to her TikTok earlier this week ... and, she revealed she and some pals engaged in a spiritual event for a "New Moon Ceremony" with Spirit Daughter leading the festivities.

Spirit Daughter -- founded by Jill Wintersteen, who started her business back in 2016 -- explains the first new moon of the year is a powerful time to manifest at a rapid rate ... and, it's also a good time to let go of the past.

"Emilia Pérez" star Karla Sofía Gascón’s award-season glory has quickly fizzled after hugely offensive past X posts have come to light -- and with the backlash intensifying, she’s now deleted her account.

Gascón’s X account @karsiagascon was deactivated Friday after people dug up a bunch of posts from 2016 when the embattled first trans Oscar nominee ranted about Muslims, George Floyd, and, ironically, diversity at the Oscars -- despite being part of a minority community herself.

In a deeper breakdown of her comments ... she came for a Muslim family dining at a restaurant, mocking the way women dress in Islamic culture and even suggesting the religion should be banned.
