TMZ Verified Podcast

In honor of International Podcast Day these famous podcasters -- who've plugged into platforms and tapped into the talking trend -- deserve a shout-out! Not only are these Hollywood hosts racking in ratings and follows, but they're laughing all the way to the bank!

Kicking things off with some OG's ... Joe Rogan launched his podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience", back in 2009, Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" has been making big waves as a top-pod on Spotify since 2018, and Joe Budden's "The Joe Budden Podcast" became such a hit, he retired from rapping.

Celebs-turned-podcasters Dax Shepard and Bethenny Frankel joined in with their respective pods and have found the convenience of connecting to viewers and fans from the comfort of a nearby studio ... or even their homes!

Also up on the pod are icons Oprah and Martha Stewart ... so podcasting MUST be where it's at!

You've listened to these celebs spill the tea and drop some mics, but take an even deeper dive into Hollywood's hottest topics and join the conversation with our TMZ podcasts ...

Accompanying TMZ's edgy and exclusive content, "The TMZ Podcast" will inform you on everything surrounding the biggest stories in pop culture. Join Charlie Cotton and company as they deliver the latest on the stories everyone is talking about!

"TMZ Verified" covers the internet's most talked about stories. From viral trends to influencer drama, VERIFIED is your one-stop shop for all things trending. Each week, Wyld Young and Steph Williams breakdown the biggest social media stories, with some of the most popular internet influencers.

Explore the final moments of some of the biggest icons in sports and entertainment with "Last Days"... where the TMZ lawyers break down precisely what led to the passing of figures who were larger than life but somehow even bigger in death.

"I can't imagine after all the talk he's done on X, after all the s*** he said, what it's going to be like to be trapped in a ring with me -- he has made a grave error. And assuming he shows up, October 14 will be the worst night of his life."

Logan Paul is champing at the bit to get revenge on Dillon Danis when they officially face off in their boxing match next month ... telling TMZ Sports his opponent is going to regret making it personal.

Of course, the former Bellator fighter has been on a tear on social media leading up to the bout ... targeting Paul's model fiancee, Nina Agdal, to the point she had to file a restraining order and lawsuit against him.

We spoke with Paul about the pre-fight antics ... and while he said he knew D.D. would bring the trash talk, he pointed out it's a bit different when lawyers gotta get involved.

"He's a crybaby, legitimately," Paul said. "I'm not just saying this to be like a mean fight companion trying to rile him up. He's a coward. He's made this fight entirely about a woman -- he chose to pick a fight with a woman. She fought back. He's whining about it. He's upset. He's making excuses left, right and center."

Logan added he believes Danis never planned to actually go through with the fight ... and only agreed to it so he could get clout and attention.

"He's the king of the ducks, all bark, no bite."

Despite going after Agdal, Logan said he's not worried one bit about getting too angry before entering the ring with his nemesis ... saying there's nothing Danis could do to get under his skin.

Speaking of Agdal, Logan said she WILL be at the fight in Manchester ... as they've both been fighting their own wars against Danis in their own ways.

Charlie Puth is picking up the street performer who was left to pick up his piano when a woman smashed it to the ground ... offering words of encouragement and a special invite.

The "We Don't Talk Anymore" singer reached out to Andrew Hsu, the Georgia street performer from a recent viral video, messaging him over the incident.

TMZ obtained the DMs Charlie and Andrew exchanged ... with Charlie telling Andrew, "I'm sorry that bull s*** happened to you ... Don't let it ever discourage you from performing, I know it won't ... But that video just upset me so much. You're a wonderful player and I wish you nothing but success and constant musical inspiration."

Andrew thanks Charlie for the kind words, tells him he's not going to give up performing, shares how he went to Charlie's show in Georgia and says he hopes to meet him and Billy Joel.

As we reported ... video shows Andrew playing Billy's anthem, "Piano Man," in Athens, GA when a rude woman comes up and smashes his piano to the ground. Andrew also accused her of stealing from his tip jar, and she eventually apologized after tons of backlash.

Charlie says he can't really set Andrew up with Billy, who apparently doesn't have a cell phone, but he says he would love for Andrew to come to one of his future shows.

Andrew tells TMZ ... since the video went viral, tons of folks requested to donate to a new piano ... and he put his Venmo on social media and got $2,000 in just two days, earmarking the money for a new keyboard and keyboard stand.

So, it seems like this story has a happy ending for Athens' piano man.

Charli D'Amelio was in attack mode after her sister, Dixie, joked about killing her dog, Rebel ... dramatically storming out of a family meeting about Rebel's eating habits.

The sisters went at it on the latest episode of their Hulu series, "The D'Amelio Show" ... 19-year-old Charli and 22-year-old Dixie were talking with their parents, Marc and Heidi, about moving houses when the focus shifted to Charli's pup.

Dixie calls "Charli's fat dog" a monster, with Heidi agreeing Rebel is pretty big, adding, "She's gonna die" and they need a plan.

That's when Dixie dropped the sarcastic bombshell, quietly saying, "Execute her?" -- which didn't sit well with Charli, at all.

She immediately blew up, telling Dixie, "What the f*** is wrong with you? That's so mean, you can't put that out in the world." Mom agreed.

The younger sister left a lot of tension behind as she walked out of the convo ... and Dixie rolled her eyes, calling her sister "a bitch."

BTW, Marc obviously didn't want to fuel the fire ... telling producers the fam "can't afford them not to be speaking."

Lots of drama in the D'Amelio household, and cupcake-snatching Rebel's caught in the middle of it!

Charli D'Amelio estaba en modo furia luego de que su hermana —Dixie— bromeara sobre matar a su perra Rebel. Salió furiosa de una reunión familiar acerca de los hábitos alimenticios de la mascota.

Las hermanas se enfrentaron en el último episodio de su serie de Hulu, "The D'Amelio Show". Charli de 19 años y Dixie de 22 estaban hablando con sus padres —Marc y Heidi— sobre mudarse de casa cuando el foco de atención pasó a la mascota de Charli.

Dixie llama a la "perrita gorda de Charli" un monstruo. Heidi está de acuerdo con que Rebel es bastante grande y agregó: "Ella va a morir" así que necesitan un plan.

Fue entonces cuando Dixie soltó una bomba sarcástica diciendo en voz baja: "¿Ejecutarla?". Claramente la broma no sentó bien con Charli.

Estalló inmediatamente, diciéndole a Dixie: "¿Qué mier... te pasa? Eso es horrible, no puedes decir esas cosas". Mamá le dio la razón.

La hermana menor dejó mucha tensión en el aire al salir del lugar y Dixie puso los ojos en blanco llamando a su hermana "perra".

Obviamente Marc no quería avivar el fuego y le dijo a todos que "no pueden darse el lujo de no hablarse".

Mucho drama en la casa D'Amelio y Rebel —la ladrona de cupcakes— está en medio de todo.

When Beyoncé says, "Everybody on mute," you better keep quiet ... or else ya might end up like this concertgoer who got whacked for ruining the viral "mute challenge."

The clip appears to be from Bey's Sunday night concert in Houston, and shows the repercussions for someone in the crowd who just couldn't pipe down during the popular moment of her song, "Energy."

For those unaware, concert venues have usually gone dead silent as the singer goes, "Look around everybody on mute." The strict silence has been a growing trend throughout her world tour, and the BeyHive has gotten pretty good at it.

They've also become very vigilant of rowdy fan's like this guy, and he ended up getting hit while chomping on some popcorn! Looks like he laughed it off, so it's not clear if they know each other, but the woman who struck him added a "Shut the f**k up" ... so he'd know she meant it.

FYI, fans online haven't been that thrilled with the noisy dude either ... as one person put it, "When the queen says stfu you stfu."

As you can imagine, it's gotta be impossible to get stadiums fully quiet, so some are still going to screw it up and disregard the social media trend.

But most are doing the challenge justice ... even this fan who was quick to stop themself from doin' everyone else dirty!

Dillon Danis doesn't seem fazed over the lawsuit Nina Agdal filed against him for incessantly trolling her ... the 30-year-old fighter continued the onslaught online, despite being served earlier this week.

Danis is fighting Agdal's fiancé, Logan Paul, on October 14 in Manchester, and has not relented with the attacks on social media.

On Tuesday, Dillon posted a pic of Nina in a teeny bikini, part of a Sports Illustrated photoshoot from the past.

He also posted a meme featuring a photoshopped pic of Nina standing in a room with a bunch of phallic-shaped meat, with the caption ... "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life"

Danis didn't let up on Wednesday, posting a selfie of Nina in just her underwear. He also posted a Tweet from Donald Trump Jr.'s X account, which had been hacked, claiming he had a sexual relationship with Agdal.

We broke the story ... Agdal filed a lawsuit against Danis earlier this month, claiming he posted "despicable" things about her on over 250 occasions.

Nina claimed to have been humiliated by the posts which she says have caused "emotional distress and reputational harm."

Agdal even suggested "Danis had hacked [her] personal account or had obtained the private video from someone who had done so" ... as she said a video Dillon posted was only available in her private Snapchat archives, presumably only accessible to her.

Perhaps it shouldn't be a surprise Danis hasn't relented ... after the suit was filed, he said straight up said he wouldn't quit.

"Nina Adgel [sic] has filed a massive lawsuit against me. She filed a restraining order against me and is seeking prison time, so the fight is in jeopardy if I’m in jail," Danis wrote, adding, "This is actually wild but I won’t stop f*** the system come get me. Logan Paul is a dead man walking."

After dodging process servers for days, Danis was officially served with the lawsuit on Monday, and the tense incident was captured on video.

The woman who declared herself "Instagram famous" while getting booted from a plane ... is about to get even more fame -- if she wants it, porn can be part of the equation too.

Morgan Osman -- the one-time "Bad Girls Club" cast member -- now has a somewhat lucrative offer on the table from XXX site CamSoda, which tends to focus on streaming POV of nude models.

In a letter sent to Morgan, and obtained by TMZ, CamSoda tells the IG model -- who made an epic exit from her flight -- she's a perfect fit for their brand, and they're willing to give her 5 figures to strip, live on cam.

A rep for the company writes, "Given your interest in being filmed, we here at CamSoda would love to have you broadcast yourself on our XXX platform. I’d like to formally offer you up to $25,000 to perform a one-hour-long cam show on our site."

CS says Morgan can show off her hot bod in whatever way she likes -- whether it's lingerie, bathing suits, a strip tease or just full birthday suit. Point is ... she'd have to show some skin.

No word on whether Morgan's seen the offer yet -- she hasn't responded.

Getting booted from commercial flights seems to pay these days ... whether it be financially or just fleeting fame. Still, we wouldn't recommend it, you're more likely to end up dealing with the FBI.

Dillon Danis has finally been served ... after dodging and weaving a process server for over a week, the fighter/online troll was officially notified Nina Agdal was suing him, and TMZ Sports has video.

It all went down Monday morning outside the Jersey City (NJ) building where the 30-year-old fighter lives.

The process server was waiting for Dillon ... and when he approached with two buddies, the guy said "I have a document for you, Mr. Danis," as he attempted to hand a brown envelope to the fighter.

But, Dillon refused, responding ... "That's not me," as the men walked towards the doors to his building. The PS was told he couldn't go inside, so he placed the document on the floor.

Danis and process servers had been playing a game of cat and mouse for days, with Dillon even pretending he was in North Korea. He also posted images and surveillance video of unsuccessful servers who were waiting for him.

Of course, we broke the story earlier this month ... Agdal, whose fiancé Logan Paul is fighting Danis on October 14, filed a lawsuit and restraining order against Dillon, claiming he was incessantly bullying and trolling her online (250+ times).

In her suit, Agdal says she's suffered humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm ... and even claims Danis broke State and Federal law on one occasion when he allegedly gained access to a private video on her phone.

Now that Danis has been served, he'll have 21 days to answer the complaint, per New Jersey law.

Another day, another freak-out on a commercial airline ... but this time it involved a statuesque model type in a sexy bodysuit.

The mystery woman got into heated exchanges with some of the other passengers aboard the plane while boasting about how she's "Instagram famous."

Check out this 20-second clip posted on X, which shows the woman arguing with one passenger as she removes her suitcase from an overhead bin. She yells, "Call me a b***h again, I didn't do anything wrong."

After another passenger tells her to shut up, she barks back, "No you shut the f*** up! You shut the f*** up, and your b***h.'

She saunters down the aisle passing someone who is filming her, and she suddenly strikes a pose, bragging, "Film me - I'm Instagram famous, you f*****g bum."

As she walks out of frame, she curses at more passengers, who, by now, are just laughing at her.

The circumstances of where, when and how this all went down are still unknown, but we're in the process of gathering the facts and, once we get the details, we'll report back to you.

Of course, this type of nutty behavior has been a constant problem on commercial jets. Everyone remembers the Tiffany Gomas meltdown aboard an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Orlando in July, when she screamed "Stop the f**king flight" and "That motherf***er isn't real!"

We're guessing this latest woman is going to be Instagram famous, but for all the wrong reasons very soon.

The famous TikTok lady you see acting like computer game characters on "LIVE" says she isn't trying to trick anyone into thinking she isn't Black ... despite claims of critics and some visual evidence.

We got internet sensation Pinkydoll at LAX Tuesday, where we asked what she made of people being demonstrably shocked over her recent appearance onstage at the 2023 Streamy Awards ... where she did her whole "NPC" shtick while presenting an award.

If you're unfamiliar ... it's a big fad on TikTok, and other live-streaming apps, where hosts repeat silly catchphrases and mimic a non-player character from video games -- something gamers apparently LOVE watching, so much so, they send her digital gifts and money!

Pinkydoll is easily the most recognizable face in that world lately ... but, as you can see here on camera, she's a dark-skinned African-American woman -- and looks quite different from how she usually does on her NPC livestreams, where her skin's much lighter.

Twitter was perplexed to see Pinkydoll is actually darker in the flesh ... and some accused her of trying to purposely bait people into thinking she's some race other than Black.

She's strongly denying that, though, telling our camera guy she's proud of her melanin -- and she offers an explanation for the obvious skin tone difference. Now, whether you buy it ... that's up to you.

One thing that isn't debatable is Pinkydoll's NPC personality is bleeding over into real life ... watch the video, 'cause it feels like we were talking to a bit of a robot in person.

With that said, she makes clear this profession is paying the bills and then some -- and she's gonna keep doing her thing, even though a ton of wannabes are hopping on her bandwagon.

Mmmm, ice cream ... thanks for the roses! 😋

This grandfather is lookin' his best and achieving celebrity status while he's at it ... because he's gained quite the following remaking iconic looks from a bunch of A-listers.

77-year-old Alojz Abram has garnered 1.7M followers on Instagram through the page of his grandson, Jannik Diefenbach, and fans are convinced gramps -- who emigrated from Slovenia to Germany more than 55 years ago -- is drowning in some serious drip.

Alojz and his grandson have made some near-perfect replicas of fashion choices by the likes of Kanye West, Kylie Jenner, and even Bernie Sanders' viral inauguration look from 2021.

The fashionable duo tells TMZ ... they've been doing these popular pics since Christmas 2016, and the followers started rolling in not long after that. We're told they pick and choose between celebs they're both into, as well as whoever's big at the moment.

Jannik does a lot of the research and prep -- finding the outfits and the right poses to recreate -- but it all goes to Grandpa for final approval.

Jannik says they've gotten DMs from celebs as their online presence continues to grow, and even got an invite to the DIOR x Travis Scott show at Paris Fashion Week ... which they say was their "favorite show ever."

Bryce Hall is riding high after his huge Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship victory earlier this month ... but there's one thing that's still leaving a bad taste in his mouth -- his loss to Austin McBroom.

The internet superstar joined Wyld and Stephanie on the "TMZ Verified" podcast this week ... and while he made it clear he wants to relax for a bit before getting back into fight talks, he said he has an idea of what he wants to do next.

"Austin McBroom again," Hall said. "Even though he doesn't have the draw. I would just say that for my own personal ... like, I know what I can do now."

Of course, Hall fell to McBroom via TKO at Social Gloves' YouTubers vs. TikTokers event back in 2021 ... with the former admitting after the bout that he wasn't much of a fighter.

Things are drastically different now -- Hall is fresh off beating Gee Perez via second-round TKO at BKFC 48 ... and it's safe to say he feels a rematch with McBroom would go in his favor a second time around.

"I can take Austin McBroom again."

There's more -- Hall also revealed some big names hit him up in the DMs after his win over Perez ... including Jake Paul's most recent foe, Nate Diaz, who gave him props for beating a then-undefeated fighter.

Hall also said fellow internet star Deji has been in his DMs ... which is no surprise, 'cause he hasn't shied away from making his intentions known on social media.

TikToker VonViddy has taken his own life ... and his final video to fans is haunting, all about the ups and downs of his life -- talking about how he hopes to be remembered.

Von, whose real name is Joe Muchlinski, died Monday after "losing his long battle to mental illness" ... according to his sister, Martha.

In his final video, posted Sunday, Joe talks about the type of guy he wants to be remembered as, citing his music and comedy as a couple of strong points in his life. He also highlights some of his struggles -- saying he doesn't want folks to remember him "as an addict and an alcoholic who put his family through hell."

He ends his final TikTok by saying how thankful he is for the opportunities he's had over the years ... noting he has an abundance of peace and love for his fans.

Folks in both Joe and Martha's comment sections are sharing their grief for the loss of Joe after Martha's sad news -- one wrote, "Von Viddy we love you. Thank you for all of the laughs. Truly heartbreaking 💔."

Joe garnered over 170k followers and 8.7 million likes on TikTok, sharing his original music and comedy bits since 2020.

He was 32.

RIP.

The OnlyFans model using her nude photos to raise money for Maui wildfire relief efforts can no longer crowdfund on GoFundMe ... because the platform shut down her efforts.

Mariah Casillas, who goes by Lavagrll on social media, was sending nudes to folks who donated $10 to victims of the deadly Maui wildfires ... and a GoFundMe she started this week was raking in a ton of dough until her page was shut down.

The model raised over $7,400 in just a few days, but the manner in which she collected the money seems to have ruffled some feathers over at the crowdfunding giant.

A GoFundMe Spokesperson tells TMZ ... her fundraiser was removed for violating the website's terms of service, specifically, the "prohibited conduct section."

We're told all of the model's donors have been refunded ... so they're essentially getting her nudes for free.

She's now taking her nude fundraiser over to OnlyFans ... where it will likely get a different reaction from the folks calling the shots.

As for GoFundMe, they tell us folks looking to donate to rebuilding efforts on the island should pledge money through their new Maui wildfire centralized hub ... nudes not included.

IShowSpeed made his return to YouTube on Friday ... and the popular streamer got real about his infamous wardrobe malfunction -- begging his viewers to stop trolling him over the incident.

Speed was emotional as he got back in front of the camera -- initially going berserk on those incessantly calling him "IShowMeat" ... before calming down and speaking from the heart.

"This is truly an embarrassing f***ing moment for me," said Speed -- who has more than 19 million followers on the platform. "Lately these past days and hours, I've been suffering very mentally, bro. Genuinely, bro."

"At the end of the day, I'm still a human being, bro, and one of my worst fears that I never even wanted to happen."

"This depressing, bro," he added. "You guys don't know the feeling, bro, what I'm feeling right now."

Speed says his viewers can keep mocking him all they want ... but they're missing the bigger picture, as he has younger siblings who found out about the incident.

"Sometimes I ask why this s*** happen."

Despite Speed's pleas, his chat was flooded with steak emojis and other comments throughout his stream ... and at one point, he left the camera to compose himself.

As he tried to go about his gaming, Speed was bombarded with even more trolls as he got on Roblox ... and while some people had encouraging words, he explained there's no one who has been through the same thing.

TMZ Sports broke the story -- Speed was NOT banned from YouTube following the incident ... as the platform told us he would be able to return to streaming despite it all.

As for how his penis got exposed to begin with, Speed explained he didn't have any clean underwear ... so there's that.
