Another shake-up on "Jeopardy!" ... Mayim Bialik says she is being removed as host.

Mayim just announced the change, explaining ... "Sony has informed me I am no longer hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy!"

She adds ... "I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Jeopardy! family."

Mayim started hosting the quiz show back in August 2021 as one of the replacements for longtime host Alex Trebek.

Ken Jennings has also been hosting "Jeopardy!" and "Celebrity Jeopardy!" since 2021 ... so it seems he will be picking up the slack.

Recently, Ken had been doing most of the hosting and Mayim was primarily hosting the prime time shows and specials.

When Alex died in November 2020 there was a ton of drama as Sony searched for a new host ... including the whole Mike Richards fiasco.

Matthew Perry died from "the acute effects of ketamine," a drug that is used to treat depression and is also used as a recreational drug.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office just released the toxicology report, concluding Perry had taken ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety a week-and-a-half before his death. The ketamine in his system at the time of his death, however, "could not be from that infusion therapy, since ketamine's half-life is 3 to 4 hours, or less."

According to the Medical Examiner, the ketamine in Perry's system caused both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.

The M.E. found no evidence of alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, PCP or fentanyl.

The contributory factors in Perry's death included drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine effects. Buprenorphine is used to ween addicts off opioids.

What's interesting ... according to the M.E., Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy every other day for some time, but 6 months before he passed, a new doctor decided Perry was doing well enough that he didn't need the treatment that often. The report does not say how frequently Perry was getting ketamine infusion therapy in the months before he died.

Although smoking was not listed as a contributing factor in Perry's death, the report notes he smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day, had COPD/emphysema and diabetes.

And the M.E. says based on their interviews, Perry was clean and sober for 19 months.

TMZ broke the story ... on Oct. 28, Matthew was found unresponsive in his jacuzzi after playing 2 hours of pickleball at Riviera Country Club near his home in Pacific Palisades. First responders rushed to the property on a cardiac arrest call, and he was declared deceased on the scene after an apparent drowning.

While Matthew was open about his history of substance abuse, no illicit narcotics were found at his home.

Like we told you ... Matthew had played pickleball in the morning for a couple hours before returning home and sending his assistant on an errand. Sometime later, the assistant returned, discovered MP in the hot tub and then called 911.

Matthew's death sent shockwaves through Hollywood ... with tributes pouring in and tons of celebs honoring him and paying tribute.

As we first reported ... sources in daily contact with the late "Friends" star told us he had never been happier in the time leading up to his passing, committing to a new movie and loving the new home he had moved into just 3 weeks before he died there.

Matthew Perry murió a causa de "los efectos agudos de la ketamina", un fármaco que se utiliza para tratar la depresión y que también se usa como droga recreativa.

La Oficina del Médico Forense del Condado de Los Ángeles acaba de publicar el informe toxicológico, concluyendo que Perry había tomado una terapia de infusión de ketamina para la depresión y la ansiedad una semana y media antes de su muerte. Sin embargo, la ketamina presente en su organismo en el momento de su muerte "no podía proceder de esa terapia de infusión, ya que la vida media de la ketamina es de 3 a 4 horas, o menos".

Según el forense, la ketamina en el organismo de Perry causó sobreestimulación cardiovascular y depresión respiratoria.

El forense no encontró indicios de alcohol, metanfetamina, cocaína, heroína, PCP o fentanilo.

Los factores que contribuyeron a la muerte de Perry incluyen ahogamiento, enfermedad arterial coronaria y efectos de la buprenorfina. La buprenorfina se utiliza para tratar a los adictos a los opioides.

Lo que es interesante, según el forense, es que Perry había estado recibiendo terapia de infusión de ketamina durante algún tiempo, pero 6 meses antes de morir un nuevo médico había decidido que estaba lo suficientemente bien como para no necesitar el tratamiento con tanta frecuencia. El informe no indica la frecuencia con la que Perry estaba recibiendo la infusión de ketamina en los meses anteriores a su muerte.

Aunque el tabaquismo no figura como factor contribuyente a la muerte de Perry, el informe señala que fumaba dos paquetes de cigarrillos al día, padecía EPOC/enfisema y diabetes.

Y el forense dice que basándose en sus entrevistas, Perry estuvo limpio y sobrio durante 19 meses.

TMZ fue el primero en dar la noticia, el 28 de octubre, Matthew fue encontrado sin respuesta en su jacuzzi después de jugar 2 horas de pickleball en Riviera Country Club, cerca de su casa en Pacific Palisades. Los paramédicos se apresuraron en llegar a una llamada de paro cardíaco, pero el actor fue declarado muerto en la escena después de un aparente ahogamiento.

Matthew había sido muy abierto acerca de su historia con el abuso de sustancias y no se encontraron narcóticos ilícitos en su casa.

Como les contamos, Matthew había jugado pickleball por la mañana durante un par de horas antes de volver a casa y enviar a su ayudante a hacer un recado. Algún tiempo después, este regresó, descubrió al actor en la bañera de hidromasaje y llamó al 911.

La muerte de Matthew causó conmoción en Hollywood, con cientos de tributos y homenajes de diferentes celebridades para honrarlo y rendirle homenaje.

Jerry O'Connell's providing more context as to why John Stamos' memoir -- in which he grouses about ex-wife Rebecca Romijn -- didn't sit well with Jerry and Rebecca, but also says he knows it comes with the territory.

Jerry, who's of course married to Rebecca now, joined us Friday on "TMZ Live" to explain why, personally, he would never write a book like John's "If You Would Have Told Me."

He says a celebrity tell-all book that drags someone who was once a part of your life feels like "betrayal."

The "Pictionary" host and "Stand By Me" star tells us his wife was definitely "bummed out" when she found out about the negative things John wrote about their marriage.

Jerry admits he's generally a fan of celeb memoirs, and acknowledges it's just part of showbiz. Still, he says the people who are written about in those books can still feel "disappointed."

By the way, he's not just talking about Rebecca -- he also mentions King Charles, Meghan Markle and Justin Timberlake, to name just a few.

As we reported, we got Jerry out in NYC Thursday when we first talked with him about the memoir drama ... and he thought it would've been a good idea for JS to give his wife a heads-up about the things he wrote about her.

You'll recall, John called Rebecca "the devil" in the tell-all ... and also told Howard Stern he was convinced there was no way their marriage could have worked out in the end.

Before this baby sippin' on an empty brewski bottle turned into a triple threat in Hollywood, she was just performing and acting in plays, singing the national anthem at local events and growing up in Orlando, Florida back in the '80s.

Fast forward to 1999 ... she hit the road with iconic boybands, *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. And, it's likely she performed the song that skyrocketed her to fame ... "Candy." In the mid-2000s, she portrayed herself on HBO's "Entourage."

Need one more clue? She was on a popular show with Sterling K. Brown!

Jerry O'Connell está sugiriendo que John Stamos debería haber dado a su esposa, Rebecca Romijn -también conocida como la ex-esposa de John- un aviso de que la estaba mencionando en sus memorias, o al menos, eso es lo que habría hecho en esa situación.

Fuimos a ver a Jerry el jueves en Nueva York y le preguntamos qué pensaba de los libros que incluyen comentarios sobre otras personas, especialmente sobre sus ex. No mencionamos a Stamos, pero Jerry no es tonto, y sabía exactamente por qué estábamos haciendo la pregunta.

Jerry admite que las cosas que salieron en el libro de John, 'Si me lo hubieras dicho,' era un poco "aterrador", pero también reconoce que las memorias están de moda en este momento, diciendo que la gente tiene que ganarse la vida, antes de bromear afirmando que su biografía sería de lo más aburrida.

Para aquellos que no lo saben, John se abrió sobre su relación pasada con Rebecca y no se refirió muy bien a ella, llamándola "el diablo", y previamente al lanzamiento del libro, le dijo a Howard Stern que creía que su matrimonio nunca habría funcionado.

A pesar de todo, Jerry no parece estar muy enfadado por el libro.

Jerry O'Connell is suggesting John Stamos should've given his wife, Rebecca Romijn -- aka John's ex-wife -- a heads-up he was mentioning her in his memoir ... or, at least, that's what he would've done in that sitch.

We got Jerry Thursday in NYC and asked what he thought about tell-all books, in general, that include remarks about other people ... especially exes. We didn't mention Stamos, but Jerry's no dummy, and knew exactly why we'd raised the issue with him.

Jerry admits the stuff that came up in John's book, 'If You Would Have Told Me,' was a bit "scary," but also acknowledges that memoirs are all the rage right now -- saying folks have to make a living, before jokingly claiming his potential tell-all would be pretty boring.

For those unaware, John opened up about his past relationship with Rebecca ... and didn't exactly paint her in a great light by calling her "the devil" -- and in the lead-up to the book drop, he told Howard Stern that he didn't think their marriage would've ever worked out.

Despite all that, Jerry doesn't seem to bent outta shape about Stamos' book.

"Botched" star Dr. Terry Dubrow is over the moon about Oprah opening up about using weight-loss medication ... 'cause, in his eyes, it's a move that could save lives.

Dr. Dubrow joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live," singing Oprah's praises for admitting she's used meds as part of her weight loss journey ... and telling us the trend of shaming folks for using medication like Ozempic needs to stop.

He says celebs have been hesitant to be as honest as Oprah was ... often attributing their weight loss to working out or hormones, but in the doc's eyes, it's time they felt comfortable to speak candidly.

Dr. Dubrow thinks a really popular celeb, like O, opening up the discussion could start a trend -- or at least a discussion -- that leads to the general public warming to the use of these meds to combat obesity.

As he points out, we wouldn't shame people who take insulin for diabetes ... so doing so for someone who needs it to lose weight is equally ridiculous.

As we reported, Oprah lost 40 lbs this year and told PEOPLE the medicine she was prescribed was a healthier alternative for her -- this after she realized her struggles with weight loss were less about willpower and more about the brain.

La estrella de "Botched", el Dr. Terry Dubrow, está encantado con la honestidad de Oprah al decir que usa medicamentos para bajar de peso, ya que desde su perspectiva, se trata de una medida que podría salvar vidas.

El Dr. Dubrow se unió a nosotros el jueves en "TMZ Live", para elogiar a Oprah por admitir que ha usado medicamentos como parte de su viaje para perder peso y nos dice que la tendencia de avergonzar a la gente por usar remedios como Ozempic tiene que parar.

Él dice que las celebridades han sido reacias a ser tan sinceras como Oprah y a menudo atribuyen su pérdida de peso a las hormonas o al ejercicio, pero en los ojos del doctor, es hora de que se sientan cómodas de hablar con franqueza.

El Dr. Dubrow cree que una celebridad tan popular como Oprah Winfrey podría iniciar una tendencia -o al menos un debate- que lleve al público en general a abrirse al uso de estos medicamentos para combatir la obesidad.

Como señala, no avergonzaríamos a las personas que toman insulina para la diabetes, por lo que hacerlo para alguien que lo necesita para perder peso es igual de ridículo.

Como informamos, Oprah perdió 40 libras este año (unos 18 kilos) y le dijo a la gente que el medicamento que le habían recetado era una alternativa más saludable para ella. Esto, después de que se diera cuenta de que sus luchas con la pérdida de peso tenían menos que ver con la fuerza de voluntad y más con el cerebro.

50 Cent is tapping into even more local homegrown talent to authenticate the Atlanta scenes for his upcoming "BMF" Season 3 ... adding Lil Baby and "RHOA" vet Cynthia Bailey to the cast.

Saweetie was also announced as a new cast member Thursday, and 50 says he's giving fans a chance to see their favorite artists intertwined in the story of Big Meech and his brother Southwest T.

Snoop Dogg, Kash Doll, Yung Miami and Sereyah have all appeared on "BMF" ... and Ne-Yo and 2 Chainz have signed on for other Season 3 guest roles.

With that kinda talent on set, 50 might wanna roll out a soundtrack!!!

Baby won't have to dig into his Shakespearean bag for his first role -- he'll portray a street cat from Atlanta named "Payne" according to Deadline.

Saweetie will portray a similar character, a college athlete who turns to the streets named Keeya, and Cynthia will co-star as the ex-wife of Wood Harris' character Detective Bryant.

50 won over Shreveport, Louisiana City Council members this week, and they authorized the lease of Millennium Studios for his G-Unit Film & Television imprint.

The chances he'll use it to develop his Diddy docuseries are high ... TMZ Hip Hop got confirmation last week that proceeds from 50's planned expose on the embattled Bad Boy Records boss will go toward sexual assault victims.

Andre Braugher passed away following a battle with lung cancer, TMZ has confirmed.

Andre's rep tells us the Emmy-winning actor was diagnosed with the disease a few months earlier ... and he passed away Monday at age 61.

Andre was a beloved member of the TV community ... having starred in all 153 episodes of the police comedy series, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

His costar Terry Crews thanked Andre for his advice, kindness, and friendship in an emotional tribute after the tragic news emerged.

Andre was also known for his work on NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street" and comedy-drama "Men of a Certain Age" -- while his movie roles included "Frequency," "The Mist," and "City of Angels."

The Julliard alum bagged 2 Primetime Emmy Awards during his celebrated career -- and on the personal front, was husband to Ami Brabson and their 3 children.

Andre Braugher falleció tras una batalla contra el cáncer de pulmón, según ha confirmado TMZ.

El representante de Andre nos dice que el actor y ganador de un Emmy fue diagnosticado hace unos meses con la enfermedad y murió el lunes a los 61 años.

Andre era un miembro muy querido de la comunidad televisiva. El actor protagonizó los 153 episodios de la serie de comedia policial, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine".

Su coprotagonista Terry Crews agradeció a Andre por sus consejos, su amabilidad y su amistad en un emotivo homenaje tras conocer la trágica noticia.

Andre también era conocido por su trabajo en "Homicide: Life on the Street" y la comedia dramática "Men of a Certain Age". Algunos de sus papeles en el cine incluyeron películas como "Frequency", "The Mist" y "City of Angels".

El ex alumno de Julliard obtuvo dos premios Primetime Emmy durante su célebre carrera y en el terreno personal estuvo casado con Ami Brabson y tuvo 3 hijos.

Jeremy Allen White y Rosalía parecen dos almas gemelas, besándose y abrazándose mientras se tomaban una pausa para fumar durante una romántica cena.

La estrella de "El Oso" y la cantante española salieron a cenar el miércoles en Los Ángeles, compartiendo algunas expresiones públicas de afecto mientras fumaban cigarrillos afuera de un restaurante en el barrio de Westwood.

Jeremy le plantó un par de besos a Rosalía en la mejilla, también se abrazaron en lo que parecía ser una muy animada y estimulante conversación.

Es un poco como la recreación de su propio show, al menos para Jeremy. Su personaje de televisión está constantemente dándose un descanso del caos del restaurante para fumar un cigarrillo ... Solo que esta vez, tenía a una guapa compañera con él.

La cita de anoche es otra prueba de que Jeremy y Rosalía van en serio. Los vimos el mes pasado pasando el rato (y fumando), y también en una visita al mercado.

Nos dicen que Jeremy y Rosalía llegaron separados al restaurante, pero se fueron juntos.

Jeremy Allen White and Rosalía are looking like a couple twin flames ... kissing and hugging on date night, even while taking a smoke break from their romantic dinner.

"The Bear" star and the Spanish singer went out to dinner Wednesday night, showing some PDA as they puffed on cigarettes outside a restaurant in L.A.'s Westwood neighborhood.

Jeremy planted a couple kisses on Rosalía's cheek and they embraced between drags ... and engaged in what looks like some fun and stimulating conversation.

It's a bit of life imitating art, at least for Jeremy -- his TV show character is constantly stepping away from the restaurant chaos to inhale a cigarette ... only this time, he's got a pretty hot smoke partner with him.

The date night is more evidence Jeremy and Rosalía are going strong ... we saw them last month hanging out -- also smoking -- which came on the heels of a farmer's market outing.

We're told Jeremy and Rosalía arrived separately at the restaurant, but they left together.

Todd Chrisley alega que está siendo alimentado con comida infestada de animales, mientras pasa su tiempo detrás de las rejas.

En una declaración a TMZ, la Oficina Federal de Prisiones (FBOP), es inflexible respecto a que operan instalaciones seguras y limpias a pesar de las afirmaciones de Todd, acerca de que las ratas y las ardillas están sueltas en las instalaciones de almacenamiento de alimentos, añadiendo que la calidad de los alimentos consumidos por su población encarcelada es una prioridad.

También refutan las afirmaciones de Todd de que su comida está cargada de moho negro y fuera de fecha por lo menos un año, diciendo que los alimentos caducados se desechan y no se utiliza.

De hecho, trabajan bajo las regulaciones de la Oficina Federal de Prisiones, cuya misión de servicio de alimentos tiene como objetivo proporcionar comidas saludables, nutricionalmente sólidos y apetitosos que satisfagan las necesidades de cada individuo.

Instituciones FBOP, incluyendo FPC Pensacola, están acreditados por la Asociación Correccional Americana, que cubre la vida interior y otras regulaciones esenciales, tales como las condiciones ambientales como la temperatura y la calidad del aire.

Claramente no están emocionados, Todd está hablando acerca de las condiciones de prisión tras las rejas, instando a los reclusos a buscar una revisión formal a través de su Programa de Recursos Administrativos.

Además, la hija de Todd, Savannah, dijo recientemente que había sido objeto de represalias por hablar sobre las condiciones de encierro.

El abogado de Todd, Jay Surgent, le dijo a TMZ que su valentía en hablar sobre el estado de los alimentos y la prisión debería ser felicitado y no criticado.

Todd Chrisley is one hungry jailbird ... claiming he's being fed animal-infested meals while behind bars -- though his prison begs to differ.

In a statement to TMZ, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) is adamant they operate safe and humane facilities despite Todd's claims that rats/squirrels are on the loose in their food storage facility & a dead cat dropped from the ceiling onto their food -- adding the quality of food consumed by their incarcerated population is a priority.

The FBOP also refutes Todd's claims the food is laden with black mold and out of date by at least a year ... saying that expired food is discarded and not utilized.

In fact, they work under FBOP regulations, and tell us ... their food service mission aims to provide healthy, nutritionally sound, and appetizing meals that meet the needs of every individual.

FBOP institutions -- including FPC Pensacola, where Todd is incarcerated -- are accredited by the American Correctional Association, which covers indoor living and other essential regulations such as environmental conditions like temperature and air quality.

Clearly, they're not thrilled Todd is speaking out about prison conditions while behind bars ... and the FBOP says it urges inmates to instead seek a formal review through the prison's Administrative Remedy Program for any concerns.

To add insult to injury, Todd's daughter Savannah recently accused prison officials of retaliating against Todd for speaking out about lock-up conditions.

On that issue, Chrisley's lawyer Jay Surgent, says Todd's bravery in speaking out about the state of the prison should be congratulated, not criticized. The Bureau of Prisons said it thoroughly investigates all claims of employee misconduct.

Remember, Todd's wife Julie Chrisley is serving her time at FMC Lexington, where we haven't heard a peep from her about the grub.
