Joy Behar confirmed "The View" is hitting pause -- and Donald Trump Jr. is popping champagne, riding high on his dad's beef with TV talk shows.

DTJ couldn't resist -- he retweeted the news on X with a jab, calling it "a major win for humanity and common sense."

TMZ reviewed the production calendar for the season, and sorry Don Jr., it's just their annual August vacation, with pre-production kicking back up the final week of August.

Nonetheless, a source close to the show tells us the hosts could care less about the noise -- they're keeping their heads down and just doing their jobs.

The White House is firing back at "South Park" ... after the popular animated TV show brutally roasted Donald Trump to kick off its 27th season last night.

ICYMI ... in the season premiere, Trump is shown in bed with Satan -- hinting he’s down for a little devilish action. But Satan's not into it, and instead takes a jab at the size of Trump’s microscopic weener. Ouch.

WH spokesperson Taylor Rogers tells TMZ ... "This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”

Stevie Wonder is feeling the weight of losing Malcolm-Jamal Warner, telling TMZ that while he’s kept relatively quiet about the tragedy so far, it doesn’t mean his heart isn’t hurting.

We caught up with the icon leaving lunch in Brentwood on Wednesday, where he shared that he didn’t just remember Warner from "The Cosby Show," but as a fellow musician, he shared a Grammy with after teaming up on "Jesus Children of America" to raise money for Sandy Hook victims.

Stevie spoke about how important Warner’s truth-telling spirit was, especially in a world that often gets lost in lies -- adding he hoped his legacy inspires a new generation of voices to keep pushing things forward.

JoJo Siwa's garnered plenty of attention throughout her career -- and not all of it's been for her dancing skills!

The multi-talented performer's love life has played out in the public eye for several years, and she met her new man, Chris Hughes, in front of TV audiences ... it's funny how life works out sometimes!

We're going to look into the background of the dancer's boyfriend ... and check out how she ruffled more than a few feathers after they started dating.

Hughes was first introduced to the public after he appeared on the third series of "Love Island," and he ended up in third place alongside his then-partner, Olivia Attwood.

The two starred in a spinoff series, "Chris & Olivia: Crackin' On," although it only ran for a single season, and they ended up splitting in 2018.

Hughes has since embarked on a career as a television presenter, and he has hosted coverage of various horse racing events in his native UK.

And if it wasn't apparent already, he's pretty used to dating in the public eye ... as he was in a relationship with Little Mix member Jesy Nelson, although they split up in April 2020.

Hughes and Siwa met while appearing in the 24th season of "Celebrity Big Brother UK," and many viewers took notice of the pair's chemistry while they competed for the show's grand prize.

The professional dancer was in a relationship with Australian DJ Kath Ebbs while the show was being filmed, although her former partner claimed they were dumped by the singer at the season's afterparty.

Siwa later denied Hughes had been the reason behind her split from Ebbs on an episode of "The Viall Files," although he didn't exactly play it cool when he brought the dancer flowers after picking her up at Heathrow Airport in May 2025.

Any further speculation about the state of the pair's relationship was set aside the following month, when he shared a selfie showing him planting a kiss on her forehead as they relaxed in bed.

Hughes and Siwa have been very open about their relationship ever since then, as they've appeared in numerous photos on each other's Instagram accounts.

The dancer also slammed the door on any rumors regarding the veracity of her relationship with the television figure while speaking with The Guardian, and stated she and Hughes were "not platonic anymore" before describing herself as "head over heels" in love with him.

She then claimed her cheeks had "been in pain from smiling so much" about her new romance with Hughes.

Catch the clip... because JJ drops the truth bomb -- CBS is all about making money, so they’ve gotta do what they’ve gotta do -- or else, they’d be looking at a lawsuit!

Wendy Williams' high-powered lawyer, Joe Tacopina, did not mince words ... his client's guardianship "sickens" him, and he says he's gonna sue the people responsible for it.

Wendy and Joe were celebrating Wendy's birthday at Fresco by Scotto restaurant in NYC, when he told our photog the process of getting Wendy out of the guardianship is "despicably slow." Fact is, the judge seems immovable and will almost certainly deny their motion to end the guardianship, which has lasted more than 3 years.

We're told Joe will then demand a jury trial, and based on hours of convos Harvey and many others have had with Wendy, her release is all but a sure bet. Translation: As Joe says, she's her normal self -- the same person you watched on TV.

The property, known as Kitesbridge Farm, is going to be listed for $30 million ... because the Wall Street Journal reports Ellen and Portia have moved to a larger, more contemporary estate in the same area.

David Letterman isn't staying quiet following the news "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is coming to an end -- but instead of issuing a statement, he's letting his old jokes do the talking.

The show's former host posted a video montage to YouTube on Monday, featuring clips of him roasting CBS throughout his two-decade run on the late-night show from 1993 to 2015. The compilation includes moments from episodes aired between 1994 and 2013, showcasing his long history of poking fun at the Tiffany network.

The particularly telling detail is Letterman's caption on the YouTube video, which reads, "You can't spell CBS without BS." Many online quickly took notice -- interpreting the caption as a not-so-subtle dig at CBS and a show of support for Colbert.
