Rip told Angela Yee the alarming news Thursday on her show "Way Up" ... he joked his ex-spouse Veronica -- to whom he was married for 2 years -- didn't care much for the "til death do you part" aspect of their vows, and started plotting her exit while he was in his darkest hour.

We got Rip out last month in NYC, and he had nothing but hilariously morbid jokes for his congestive heart failure condition -- laughing is better than crying any day of the week!!!

Joe Rogan hizo pedazos a "The View" luego de que su último invitado contara lo que él cree que fue una mala experiencia en el programa, y tuvo algunas palabras para las damas.

El comediante y podcaster recibió a Coleman Hughes en 'JRE' el miércoles y ambos recapitularon su aparición en "The View" la semana pasada, en la que Coleman se metió en una discusión con Sunny Hostin sobre el tema de la raza y cómo esta no debería influir en el tratamiento legal o social que recibe una persona (color blindness).

Coleman Hughes, que tiene un libro que sostiene que la sociedad necesita centrarse menos en la raza y más en la clase y el estatus socioeconómico, dice que cree que Sunny lo atacó injustamente.

Stephen Colbert was choked up as he mourned the loss of his longtime executive assistant, Amy Cole.

The heartbreaking news came at the end of Monday's episode of 'The Late Show' ... and you can see Stephen struggling to talk, and looking somber as he walked off stage before a black title card popped up, saying, "Dedicated to our dear friend Amy Cole, 1970-2024."

LateNighter reports audience members who were at the taping mentioned the show started with the usual fun and games. But then, out of nowhere, things took a serious turn.

Joe Rogan crapped on "The View" after his latest guest came on and recounted what he felt was a bad experience on the show -- and he had some choice words for the ladies there.

The comedian/podcaster hosted Coleman Hughes on 'JRE' Wednesday, and they were recapping his appearance on "The View" from last week ... in which Coleman got into a testy exchange with Sunny Hostin over the topic of race and color blindness.

CH -- who has a book that argues that society needs to focus less on race and more so on class and socioeconomic status -- says he believes Sunny unfairly attacked him.

Jerrod Carmichael doesn't think much of Dave Chappelle -- claiming the guy's full of himself ... even alleging he demanded a public apology after Jerrod criticized his trans jokes.

The comedian did a new interview with Esquire this week, in which he reflected on his spat with Dave a couple years back in the wake of DC's Netflix special "The Closer" ... which was criticized as being anti-trans, something Jerrod himself weighed in on at the time.

During an interview from back then, Jerrod had tried offering Dave constructive criticism -- suggesting that his legacy had been marred by his leaning into making fun of trans folks.

La saga legal de Diddy en curso se estaría convirtiendo en un proyecto documental, y al parecer con varias empresas, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Múltiples fuentes de la industria con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que los productores de varias compañías de Hollywood y el Reino Unido han estado luchando por armar películas documentales de larga duración que cubran todo el drama de Diddy, desde las demandas civiles hasta las redadas federales.

Nos han dicho que la producción de la mayoría de los documentales comenzó inmediatamente después de los allanamientos en Los Ángeles y Miami, lo cual no es sorprendente, ya que la ejecución de las órdenes de registro por parte de los federales se produjo en directo por televisión, convirtiéndose en un espectáculo nacional y atrayendo la atención de mucha gente por el suceso y sus consecuencias.

The ongoing Diddy legal saga is getting the documentary treatment, and it's gonna happen several times with several companies ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple industry sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... producers at various production companies in Hollywood and the UK have been scrambling to put together long-form documentary films covering Diddy's drama -- everything from the civil lawsuits to the federal raids.

We're told the outreach to ramp up production for most of the docs began immediately after the raids in L.A. and Miami -- which isn't surprising, as the feds' execution of search warrants happened on live TV ... making it more of a national spectacle, and prompting folks to pay close attention to all the fallout.

Celebrate hump day with some hot takes brought to you by the TMZ team.

Let's kick things off with "TMZ Live," where Harvey and Charles break down the rumors surrounding Diddy and Ciroc ... and the belief 50 Cent is being brought in to replace the Bad Boy Records founder.

James Corden walked away from his "Late Late Show" hosting gig on his own terms ... but people in his native UK just can't quite believe he wasn't fired, at least according to him.

The Brit explained on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" Tuesday that despite him assuring people he and his wife Julia moved back across the pond so their 3 kids could be closer to their grandparents, people are convinced he's lying ... and think CBS canned him.

James says he's had his fair share of pub convos about his talk show departure ... and no matter how many times he tries to set the record straight, he says, "People will honestly be like, 'You don't have to give me that bull***. It's fine, mate. If you got fired, you got fired!'"

Hollywood is getting ready for Summer -- and they're starting with Spring ... enjoying a little break from the Winter ... and soaking up the sun, which has finally started to pop up.

With Spring Break well underway, it isn't surprising to see some of our favorites working on their respective tans while visiting exotic locales across the globe. For instance, "Selling Sunset" star Emma Hernan proved she's a total babe by rocking a champagne-colored two-piece while on a boat in Cabo.

Emma was joined in Mexico by her fellow 'Sunset' star Chrishell Stause, who cuddled up to her spouse, musician G Flip, in an itty-bitty bikini of her own. The couple -- who wed back in May -- beamed wide while posing on the edge of a boat.

Drake explica que se había estado comunicando con alguien en línea y en plena conversación, se dio cuenta que las cosas estaban mal.

Drake Bell is setting the record straight regarding the child endangerment claims against him from a few years back -- and he basically says it was a case of DMs gone awry.

The former child star went on Tuesday's episode of the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast to explain the whole thing ... the first time he's done so in-depth and in detail from his own perspective. It's interesting ... while he pleaded guilty, he denies any real wrongdoing.

Brittany Cartwright is dishing the details about the showdown with her estranged hubby, Jax Taylor, that was the last nail in the coffin for their relationship.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star talked about the pillow talk gone wrong Tuesday night on "Watch What Happens Live" ... revealing Jax was pissed off she went on a night out with her "The Valley" costar Kristen Doute, and his attitude became Britt's breaking point.

BC reflected Jax had "kind of made up a story in his own head and started a fight about something that never happened" -- and it was then she realized everything in their marriage was wrong.

Frankie Muniz says his parents split up while he was pursuing his career in Hollywood as a child star -- something that clearly affected him ... 'cause he got emotional talking about it.

The actor-turned-race car driver got emotional on a recent episode of Australia's "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here!" when he was asked how his fame on "Malcolm in the Middle" (and everything else around that time) impacted his family unit.

As it turns out, Frankie says stardom changed a lot of things in his household -- including the fact that his parents got a divorce as he and his mother, Denise, moved to L.A. so he could act.
