TMZ Live

George Santos says he's taken inventory of his life after a nearly six-week stint in solitary ... and, he's got a new mission after President Trump commuted his sentence and set him free.

The former New York Congressman joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday ... and, he gave us the rundown on his time in the clink, which he says gave him a ton of time to think about his past mistakes -- especially while he spent 41 days in the special housing unit.

Santos says he's embarrassed by the lies he told and his own duplicitous nature ... and, he watched his whole life like a movie in his own head -- running through each and every mistake. During this time, Santos says he fell back on his own religion, and he thinks he's square with the big guy upstairs now.

Ashley Bornancin -- a TV journo who hosts the popular show "Behind the Headlines" -- joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday ... and, she said this album is not the show-stopping hit that she and many other fans were expecting.

Take a listen for yourself ... Ashley says the album feels rushed -- and, she jokes it's almost like T-Swift spent more time promoting the album than actually working on the tracks.

Kevin Federline says Britney Spears is raising tons of red flags since her conservatorship ended ... and he says her sons and family are alarmed with what they're seeing from her.

Britney's ex-husband joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and we asked him if he thought it was a mistake to end the conservatorship.

Kevin says everyone in the family -- including Britney's two sons Sean Preston and Jayden James -- are concerned for her well-being and he says his new memoir, "You Thought You Knew," is a cry for help to gain support for Britney and their kids.

Ellen Greenberg's 2011 death from multiple stab wounds in the back of her head and neck was ruled a suicide once again ... but a forensic pathologist tells TMZ that's "biomechanically implausible."

Veteran death investigator Joseph Scott Morgan joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday, saying he was shocked when he heard the ruling ... "You could've knocked me over with a feather, as they say."

He continued, "We thought that science would prevail. None of us really saw this coming."

Eliya Cohen -- formerly a hostage in Gaza -- tells TMZ President Donald Trump has gained massive popularity in Israel thanks to the new peace deal ... but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? Not so much.

Cohen joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday, saying ... "Here in Israel Trump is a hero. Just because of him, I am released, and I'm alive."

Cohen, who was set free in February, was reportedly held captive for 505 days after Hamas militants abducted him from the Nova music festival October 7, 2023.

It was a long night giving birth on a live stream, but Twitch star Fandy, her hubby Bryan, and their brand-new baby still popped by TMZ ... spilling the tea on their totally unorthodox delivery.

The trio hit up "TMZ Live" Wednesday, with Harvey and Charles grilling them about saying goodbye to the concept of privacy ... but Bryan shrugged it off, saying it wasn’t a big deal for them since they just wanted to educate people -- especially men -- on how birth really works.

Bryan opened up even more, telling us it was an eye-opening experience for him too ... and he hoped sharing it could help others prepping for the whole birth process.

The spiciest event in Denver -- the Taco Bell 50K -- goes down on Saturday ... and, we talked to the founders about the race even they themselves call "completely stupid!"

We spoke with Jason Romero and Dan Zolnikov -- the two dudes who came together to start this insane event eight years ago -- and, we asked them to run us through the rules of the 31-mile race, which stops at 10 Taco Bells around the city.

Romero and Zolnikov explain competitors gotta stop at each restaurant, and eat at nine of the 10 ... consuming one Chalupa Supreme or one Crunchwrap Supreme by the fourth stop ... and one Burrito Supreme or one Nachos BellGrande by the eighth stop -- and bring your wrappers with you ... 'cause these dudes are gonna count 'em!

Diddy's circumstances will only improve if he's sentenced to more time ... because he's probably headed for a prison better than his current one, a prominent consultant says.

We spoke with Sam Mangel -- a former convict who now works as a prison consultant for well-known figures -- on "TMZ Live" ahead of Diddy's Friday sentencing ... and we asked if he thinks Diddy's profile and the nature of his case will make him a target.

Mangel tells us Diddy's prospective prison will be a huge improvement when compared to MDC Brooklyn -- the prison where Diddy's been locked up since his dramatic 2024 arrest.
