JJ Redick is a legit candidate for the Lakers head -- despite never having spent a minute on the bench -- and Byron Scott isn't sold on the idea quite yet!

The 3x NBA champ and former longtime NBA head coach talked to TMZ Sports this week about Redick -- a 15 seasons NBA vet -- and the prospects of him landing one of the most coveted jobs in all of sports ... L.A. Lakers head coach.

"It's hard jumping in that seat as a first-time head coach," Scott said.

Another star got into an argument with security at Cannes ... and, it appears it's with the same person Kelly Rowland confronted!

Actress Massiel Taveras hit the red carpet May 22 at the famous French festival in a white dress with a long train ... covered in the image of Jesus Christ.

Now, new video -- currently going viral on X -- shows Taveras trying to lay out the image so photogs can snap pics of it ... while security in all-black attire attempts to guide her up the stairs.

Taylor Swift's jet-setting has some up in arms ... including a prominent TV naturalist who's saying the pop star needs to shake off those climate-destroying private planes!

Chris Packham -- a nature photographer and television presenter for the BBC -- spoke with The Mirror in the UK and shared his disappointment about the cease and desist letter TS sent to Jack Sweeney, the programmer who tracked her jet publicly.

In Packham's eyes ... the letter proved a rare miss from the beloved pop queen -- saying she should've used the opportunity to see the error of her ways instead of threatening someone for calling her out.

The iconic "Home Alone" house is up for sale, but it's coming along with a bit of controversy -- 'cause despite realtors' claims, TMZ has learned the movie wasn't shot inside.

Julio Macat -- cinematographer for the 1990 Christmas classic -- tells TMZ ... exterior shots for the movie were filmed at the home now on the market, but they never actually shot scenes inside the home.

Instead, we're told the film was shot at the then-defunct New Trier Township High School in Chicago on massive sets.

Tennessee's top cop is stepping up for the King ... officially checking out misconduct allegations against the lending company that attempted to foreclose on Elvis Presley's estate.

TN Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced Thursday his office is investigating Naussany Investments and Private Lending, LLC -- the company that set the wheels in motion for Graceland to be auctioned off ... that is, until Elvis' granddaughter Riley Keough accused the company of fraud.

Skrmetti said, “I have asked my lawyers to look into this matter, determine the full extent of any misconduct that may have occurred, and identify what we can do to protect both Elvis Presley’s heirs and anyone else who may be similarly threatened.”

McDonald's customers in Australia were getting served up a side of McMop with their fries.

An employee from the fast food joint's Booval location, a suburb of Brisbane, was filmed by a shocked customer drying a wet mop underneath the fry station's heat lamp ... shortly after she was done mopping the floor.

As you can see from the clip ... the employee makes no effort to hide her stomach-churning drying method -- she's doing it in plain view of customers.

Sarah Wayne Callies claims one of her male costars on "Prison Break" spat in her face -- just one example, she says, of the rampant misogyny she had to deal with as the only gal.

The actress went on the 'Broad Ideas' podcast Monday, with SWC explaining that playing Sara Tancredi on the FOX series -- which aired from 2005 to 2009 -- was a double-edged sword ... 'cause she faced harsh realities, including an alleged ugly incident she recounts.

Sarah says that a male actor on the show hawked one onto her mug -- and while she doesn't get into specifics, including any names, she says it was emblematic of the vibe on set.

Joe Budden's explaining a controversial cut to a recent episode of his podcast... diving into why he edited a segment about Diddy, and asserting he's not in Diddy's pocket.

The hip hop commentator says he was live on "The Joe Budden Podcast" Friday when CNN posted the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie from 2016. The episode was uploaded Saturday with the description promising Joe would discuss it.

But, he never touched on it ... completely editing out the segment. Upset fans demanded answers, and JB organized a discussion on Twitter Spaces to address the controversy.

Cynthia Nixon's reflecting on the early days of "Sex and the City" ... remembering the show's doubters -- who said she and her castmates didn't seem like real women.

The actress -- who's played Miranda Hobbes in numerous incarnations of the show over the last couple decades -- reflected on the series during an interview with Page Six, calling out trolls for questioning the show's authenticity.

The way Nixon tells it ... early criticism of the show included a claim parroted by many detractors who she says claimed women didn't talk as openly about sex as the dialogue suggested.

"Goodfellas" may not have aged so well to some audiences ... receiving a trigger warning from the AMC over outdated stereotypes -- and, it's causing an online backlash.

Ken Lovett -- a former reporter for the New York Post -- shared a picture of a trigger warning he says played right before the flick on TV to X earlier this week ... warning audiences about potentially offensive content in the Martin Scorsese film.

The warning cites "language and/or offensive cultural stereotypes that are inconsistent with today's standards of inclusion."

Britney Spears says she's healing all on her own after a trip to Mexico -- which she says included cursing out strangers -- but visuals of her battered foot seem to tell a drastically different story.

Late Friday, the pop star posted a disturbing video of her horribly swollen right foot ... there's no way to tell how current the clip is, but in her caption, she claims she fixed it all on her own. As Brit says, "I was stubborn and did it my way !!! I didn't listen to a motherf***ing soul !!"

That doesn't seem like the wisest plan, based on the dark bruising around her heel, on top of the swelling. Remember, this is the injury she sustained during her notorious meltdown at the Chateau Marmont earlier this month.

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend seemed eager to take a pic at an event last night -- but one woman is suggesting they booted her crew early just so they could get their own shots.

A new video posted to TikTok seemingly shows the moment that went down at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's 60th Anniversary party Thursday in New York City ... when a few young ladies stepped up to hit some poses in a photo booth that was being used by everyone.

After a few snaps in the clip, you can see and hear John step in -- telling the women he and Chrissy are going to sneak into the booth for a moment of their own ... and the girls beat it.

Melissa Joan Hart feels a lot of regret over introducing a then-underage Britney Spears to her first clubbing experience in the nineties ... something she says she wishes she didn't do.

BS and MJH's friendship began in 1999 when the 'Sabrina' actress appeared in Spears' "(You Drive Me) Crazy" music video, and Britney guested on Melissa's ABC show.

Being 6 years older, Melissa says she felt a sibling-like bond with Britney ... hence why she feels she should've known better than to take her to a nightclub at 17.

Congress is truly devolving into an episode of the 'Jerry Springer Show' -- 3 notable legislators went back and forth trading nasty insults during an official hearing, and all it was missing were flying chairs and Steve Wilkos.

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene locked horns with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jasmine Crockett while they presided over the House Oversight Committee hearing about a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

Check out the video ... Greene kicked off all the craziness by asking the committee's democratic wing if they employed Manhattan Criminal Court Justice Juan Marchan's daughter. As you know, Marchan is the sitting judge in Donald Trump's hush money trial.

Harrison Butker got disowned by Kansas City following his controversial commencement speech -- at least briefly on social media -- with the city's official X account dissing the Chiefs kicker amid the backlash ... before later issuing an apology.

The @KansasCity page -- which dons the gray badge for government-verified handles -- shaded the hell outta the three-time Super Bowl champion on Wednesday ... saying, "Just a reminder that Harrison Butker lives in the City of Lee's Summit."

FYI -- Lee's Summit is about half an hour outside of Kansas City, and a solid 20 from Arrowhead Stadium. Essentially, the account was saying "dude's not one of us!!!"

Jordan Belfort -- aka "The Wolf of Wall Street" -- is issuing a stern warning as YOLO fever once again shakes the market via meme stocks ... telling GameStop-ers to invest wisely.

Here's the deal... shares for GameStop and AMC skyrocketed in the past few days as traders jumped on the wild meme stock ride anew ... all because of a single X post from the dude who kicked it all off in the first place back in 2021 ... Keith Gill, known as Roaring Kitty.

As TMZ reported, the viral day trader whipped everyone into a frenzy again just by posting memes after silence for years ... and while everyone's excited, JB's offering up caution.
