TV Stars

Stephen Colbert's final farewell to "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" was memorable mostly for its star power!

Colbert brought out a bunch of A-list celebs Thursday night to help him say goodbye to his show and his fans after over 10 years and 1,800 episodes.

Feast your eyes on these bold-faced names: Paul McCartney, Bryan Cranston, Ryan Reynolds, Paul Rudd, Tim Meadows, Tig Notaro, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Andy Cohen, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Elvis Costello.

Jon Bernthal’s 11-year-old daughter scored a massive payday for working with her dad on his latest "Punisher" project, TMZ has learned. 

TMZ obtained the contract Addie Bernthal signed on July 15, 2025, to appear in Disney+’s "The Punisher: One Last Kill" … a TV special for the streaming service.

Jon’s wife, Erin Bernthal, signed the paperwork. 

Matthew Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, is asking for some leniency at his upcoming sentencing ... telling the judge he could not "simply say no" when it came to feeding Perry's drug habit ... TMZ has learned.

In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Kenneth, who is set to be scheduled on May 27, disagreed with prosecutors’ claim he could have told the "Friends" star “no” when he asked for ketamine.

As TMZ previously reported, Kenneth is facing years in prison for securing ketamine for Matthew and even injecting him with the drug on the day he died. Matthew died on October 28, 2023, from the acute effects of the drug.

Byron Allen says late nights on CBS are going to look A LOT different when Stephen Colbert steps aside after Thursday's show ... and he says the key to replacing Colbert will be a comedy show that's light on politics and heavy on timeless, inclusive humor.

The billionaire comedian and media mogul joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and told us about his vision for filling Colbert's vacated time slot with a couple new shows.

When Colbert goes dark after his final episode, his weeknight hour on CBS will be replaced by "Comics Unleashed With Byron Allen" and another show Byron produces, "Funny You Should Ask."

Carmen Electra fans hit the jackpot ... because the model just dropped some major news they're going to love.

TMZ caught up with the model and actress Wednesday as she left The Abbey's 35th anniversary party ... and CE revealed she's going to pose for "Playboy" again ... and even came dressed to the bash as a Playboy Bunny.

Even more exciting ... Carmen teased that she might make an appearance in the reboot of "Baywatch" ... which would be epic for OG series fans.

It's time to get a little scared ... and really hot with another round of guess who.

This actress is the newest obsession in the horror community after her breakout performance as a ghoulish GF in a recently released film ... with her performance -- and bod -- catching fans' attention.

This terrifying temptress received widespread recognition after starring in the last season of "13 Reasons Why" playing Estela de la Cruz, before landing the role as Sarah Cushing in "Superman & Lois."

Jeff Probst says he knew he screwed something up on the live taping of the "Survivor 50" finale when the energy in the room suddenly changed ... and he's explaining how the major blunder unfolded.

The longtime "Survivor" host joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and broke down the mistake he made live on air, when he announced the loser of a challenge before viewers saw the results.

Jeff says he was backstage preparing for live interviews with contestants as pretaped segments aired ... he wasn't watching the live finale, and was just a little ahead in the script when he came out to talk to Rizo Velovic.

Another star has weighed in on Spencer Pratt running for L.A. mayor ... and it's none other than Gabrielle Union.

TMZ caught up with the actress Wednesday as she left The Abbey's 35th anniversary party ... and of course, we had to get her thoughts on the topic that has been dominating SoCal headlines.

As you can see ... Gabrielle gets a hearty chuckle when asked what she thinks of Pratt's political ambitions ... before shouting out "Laguna Beach's" Stephen Colletti -- then declaring she's team "LC," AKA Lauren Conrad.

Chrishell Stause just took some nasty jabs at Katharine McPhee on the heels of her and husband David Foster endorsing Spencer Pratt for Los Angeles mayor ... but sources close to Katharine and David are firing back.

A source close to the couple tells TMZ ... Chrishell needs to focus more on herself ... and less on attacking other women just to grab headlines.

As we reported ... the "Selling Sunset" star popped off about the movie and Broadway star ... writing in a TikTok comment on a video about McPhee's dating history that she's still struggling to find her inner confidence ... and she won't find it until she's "disregarded enough times by the problematic men she backs."

We want you to be a part of TMZ, so every weekday, between 10:30 AM and 12:00 PM PT, we take you inside our newsroom via live stream.

You never know what you're gonna get ... a big story that breaks, an argument erupts in the room, or our producers are just joking around.

Your comments are a big part of the stream, and the staff spends a lot of time speaking directly to you. Every day is different!

Chrishell Stause is shading Katharine McPhee for her love of "problamtic men" ... days after she very publicly endorsed Spencer Pratt for mayor.

The "Selling Sunset" star took the Broadway lead to task ... writing in a TikTok comment on a video about McPhee's dating history that the woman is still struggling to find her inner confidence.

The problem, Stause says, is she won't find it until she's "disregarded enough times by the problematic men she backs."

Hollywood's elite showed up and showed out to celebrate the 35th anniversary of WeHo's iconic gay bar, The Abbey.

Yes, we're talking about the spot that inspired Chappell Roan's hit "Pink Pony Club" ... and Wednesday's star-studded scene definitely lived up to the lyrics.

RuPaul was on the DJ deck and A-list attendees -- like a Mariah Carey impersonator, Gabrielle Union, and more -- posed on the pink carpet.

Jeff Probst definitely wants to bury his head in the sand on some far-away island ... because he made a major mistake during last night's live "Survivor 50" finale.

Spoilers ahead!!!

The longtime host totally blew it in a critical moment of the game ... accidentally revealing the loser of the fire-making challenge ... thereby making them the last castaway to take part in the jury.

Rizo Velovic was the castaway in question ... and Probst let the cat out of the bag just as they were about to cut to a commercial -- everyone stunned by the flub.

Vivica A. Fox is sounding off on the country’s political mess -- and she’s making one thing crystal clear ... reality TV stars have no business running the show!

We caught up with Vivica in NYC Wednesday, and she did not hold back while talking politics -- throwing shade at Donald Trump and Spencer Pratt over their controversial political ambitions.

Check the clip -- Vivica was fired up, saying the economy and the country need experienced politicians ... not people jumping into politics because they’ve got fame and followers.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' massive New York dream home is sitting unfinished ... while more than $2 million in contractor debt claims have reportedly piled up behind the scenes.

According to multiple outlets, five contractors and subcontractors have filed mechanics liens against the couple's 110-acre Lewisboro, New York property in April ... claiming they're owed a combined $2.1 million for unpaid work on the sprawling estate. TMZ has confirmed the existence of the liens against the property.

The luxury compound has reportedly been under construction for years and was supposed to include a 14,500-square-foot main home, pool house, gym, geothermal systems and other high-end features.

Matthew Perry’s sister, Caitlin Morrison, trashed his assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, as she suggested he serve hard time in prison for his role in the late actor’s death, TMZ has learned. 

Caitlin wrote a letter ahead of Kenneth’s sentencing, saying she doesn’t have “sympathy” for the assistant. 

In her message, Caitlin said, “No matter what happens in the case, my big brother … will be dead.”
