Social Media

Public distancing from Diddy is in full swing in the hip hop community as artists watch the brutal footage of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura ... and some are calling for his head.

50 Cent didn't react with his usual jokes this time around, but tossed a sarcastic jab at Diddy's legal counsel for their inevitable defense of their client ... quipping the entire saga gave him "Maury vibes."

The G-Unit rapper previously announced he's putting together his own Diddy documentary ... so, he's not only watching this from his usual vantage point -- as social media troll supreme -- but also as a producer.

Jennifer Lopez liking romance advice online happened organically -- as the relationship coach behind the post has no connection to her, but her inbox is getting flooded regardless.

Lenna Marsak -- who threw up the IG post that J Lo liked Thursday, touching on unhealthy relationships -- tells TMZ ... she definitely doesn't know J Lo personally, noting that they don't even follow each other, but has a sense of how her upload made its way to Jen's feed.

Lenna says the post in question had already been doing well -- in terms of performance and shares -- so it's possible Jenn just stumbled across it on her explore page on IG and liked it.

Harrison Butker got disowned by Kansas City following his controversial commencement speech -- at least briefly on social media -- with the city's official X account dissing the Chiefs kicker amid the backlash ... before later issuing an apology.

The @KansasCity page -- which dons the gray badge for government-verified handles -- shaded the hell outta the three-time Super Bowl champion on Wednesday ... saying, "Just a reminder that Harrison Butker lives in the City of Lee's Summit."

FYI -- Lee's Summit is about half an hour outside of Kansas City, and a solid 20 from Arrowhead Stadium. Essentially, the account was saying "dude's not one of us!!!"

Noah Cyrus is continuing to shout out her mom, Tish ... and it seems any inkling of love triangle drama is almost all but faded, and the newfound love is going both ways.

Noah hit up her IG Stories Monday to wish her mom a happy birthday by sharing a throwback pic of her with Tish on a past birthday -- this coming hot on the heels of another throwback pic the day earlier ... where she was honoring Tish for Mother's Day.

The Sunday snap of Tish cradling her as a baby was pretty telling in and of itself -- and now, it feels like mother and daughter are in a better place ... 'cause Tish has reciprocated.

Dating apps aren't exactly the best for finding love among normies -- and celebs aren't having much luck on them either -- including Zayn Malik ... who tried (and failed) using Tinder.

The One Direction heartthrob dished about his attempt to find love on the dating app after moving to a farm in Bucks County, PA ... which ended up with his hopes crushed when locals swiping through the small town couldn't believe he was the real deal.

Zayn told Nylon, "Everyone accused me of catfishing. They're like, 'What are you using Zayn Malik's pictures for?' I've been kicked off once or twice."

Olivia Munn's opening up about her health challenges again ... revealing she had her uterus and other reproductive organs removed in her fight against cancer.

The actress spoke at length about her cancer battle in an interview published by Vogue Sunday ... saying she had to undergo more surgeries last month after medication she received made it so she could barely get out of bed.

The way Olivia explains it ... on the advice of her doctor, she started taking the estrogen-suppressing drug Lupron -- which she says wrecked her energy, and made it hard to do mundane tasks.

Comedian James Gregory -- known for dubbing himself "The Funniest Man in America" -- has died ... according to a post from his family.

The post -- made on Gregory's official Facebook -- says James passed away Thursday from cardiac complications.

James took up comedy in the early '80s when he was 36 after years of working as a salesman ... and, he became the first comedian to take the stage at the legendary Punchline club in Atlanta. While he was known as a Southern comedian, he traveled all across the country performing shows for the next four decades.

Kate Beckinsale's fed up with trolls claiming she's had work done ... firing back in a lengthy Instagram caption and letting people know their bullying's taken a toll.

The actress took to the popular social media site early Sunday morning to address haters who insist she's had a lot of work done over the years ... calling it a subtle, vicious move by bullies.

It's a long rant -- accompanied by a pair of videos featuring the British superstar she says were taken years apart -- but the gist of it ... KB's saying people need to back the hell off and stop spreading lies.

Rick Ross is using social media gossip to clown his rival Drake ... joking Drizzy shot his plane down as rumors his plane made a crash landing swirl.

The rapper took to his Instagram Story Friday to crack some jokes about his plane allegedly making an emergency landing ... thanking his fans for prayers before launching into his over-the-top story.

RR claims he saw a fighter jet barreling toward his own aircraft ... saying he sees an unnamed pilot's nose like Tom Cruise from "Top Gun" -- before adding "it happened" without specifying what that is.

Khloe Kardashian seems open to dipping her toe into the lady pond ... saying as much on social media this week -- or at the very least, strongly suggesting it.

The reality TV star hopped on X this week to let folks know she's keeping her options open when it comes to her sexual preferences -- this after one fan jokingly said she oughta try lesbianism after several high-profile breakups with men. Khloe didn't laugh off the idea, writing ... "Well you never know what my future holds."

BTW, when a different fan replied to her comment with a GIF involving scissors, Khloe responded with a cry-laughing emoji. Again, she's not really shutting down the idea!

12:15 PM PT -- Ryan Garcia is firing back ... saying he'll break Conor McGregor's "weak ass ankle" if the two ever cross paths -- which is a reference to an injury Conor suffered against Dustin Poirier in 2021.

"You ran from being tested bc you were on Roids," Garcia posted on X ... while also mocking his recent movie with Jake Gyllenhaal. "Roadhouse or ROIDRAGE."

"FUDGE CONNOR CACA BRAIN"

Britney Spears just addressed the hotel incident that required paramedics to rush to the scene -- and she's out here claiming "fake news" ... while also vowing to head to Beantown.

The pop star hopped on IG Thursday with a telling caption, which seems to touch on exactly what happened Wednesday night -- namely, first responders arriving at the Chateau Marmont after Britney and her boyfriend, Paul Soliz, got a big fight that spun out of control.

She writes, "Just to let people know ... the news is fake !!! I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger everyday !!!"

Britney Spears acaba de abordar el incidente en el hotel que requirió que paramédicos corrieran a la escena, y está acusando de "noticias falsas" y prometiendo con irse a Boston.

La estrella del pop saltó a IG el jueves para abordar lo que sucedió la noche del miércoles, cuando los paramédicos llegaron hasta el hotel Chateau Marmont después de que Britney y su novio Paul Soliz tuvieran una gran pelea que se salió de control.

Ella escribió: "Solo para que la gente sepa ... ¡¡¡la noticia es falsa!!! ¡¡¡Me gustaría respeto en este momento para que la gente entienda que estoy cada día más fuerte!!!"

Robert De Niro did NOT yell at pro-Palestinian protesters in NYC ... this despite a video making the rounds online suggesting otherwise.

The actor was filmed shouting at a group of individuals last week in NYC, accusing the crowd of "talking nonsense" and needing to go home. Several pro-Israel X accounts shared the video ... claiming the encounter proves De Niro stands with Israel in its war on Hamas.

However, De Niro's rep has shut this notion down ... saying the footage was merely a rehearsal from his new Netflix show, "Zero Day." As it turns out, De Niro was actually just practicing scripted lines while rehearsing in front of a group of extras.

Robert De Niro NO le estaba gritando a los manifestantes pro-palestinos en Nueva York. Esto, a pesar de un popular video que circula por Internet y sugiere lo contrario.

El actor fue grabado gritándole a un grupo de personas la semana pasada en Nueva York y acusándolos de "decir tonterías" e instándolos a que se fueran para su casa. Varias cuentas pro-Israel X compartieron el video, afirmando que el encuentro demuestra que De Niro está con Israel en su guerra contra Hamás.

Sin embargo, el representante de De Niro ha acallado esta idea, diciendo que las imágenes corresponden simplemente a un ensayo de un nuevo show de Netflix llamado "Zero Day". Resulta que De Niro en realidad solo estaba practicando sus líneas, mientras ensayaba frente a un grupo de extras.

George Santos breathed new life into his old drag queen persona -- bringing back his old shtick in a new video ... where he seems inclined to say hello for some cash.

The ousted GOP congressman hopped on Cameo -- where he has an account, and where he's hawking personalized messages for people -- dressed in a familiar getup that he used to rock back in his youth ... namely, as Kitara Ravache, his drag character.

Remember ... this is how he'd dress up way back in the day when he was hanging out down in Brazil -- something that came to light when he was a congressman and wrapped in scandal.
