Drake will be licking his wounds and bowing to King Kendrick Lamar ... a shameful sight Touré says will become Drake's reality after their rap battle is all said and done.

The tenured music and cultural critic hopped on "TMZ Live" on Thursday and pinpointed what he feels are dings in Drake's armor ... mainly his comeback response, which Touré isn't all that impressed with.

Drake has been owning up to his "Push Ups (Drop & Give Me Fifty)" track ... using the lyrics to tease both Metro Boomin and Kendrick's manager on social media ... but Touré feels sneaky tactics pale in comparison to the points K. Dot has already put on the board.

Warwick Davis -- famous from the 'Harry Potter' movies -- just announced the death of his wife ... and he's heartbroken over it.

The actor broke the sad news this week, saying his spouse Samantha had recently passed away -- although, he didn't get specific on the cause, or under what circumstances.

He says, "My wife and soulmate, best friend. Devoted mother, My favorite human. My most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career, has passed. The most open, warm person I have ever known. Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs."

Scheana Shay estuvo sirviendo bebidas en un Chili's Grill & Bar esta semana, volviendo a sus raíces como camarera, ¡antes de saltar a la fama!

En videos obtenidos por TMZ, la estrella de "Vanderpump Rules" fue vista luciendo un uniforme de Chili's el miércoles por la noche mientras llevaba comida a las mesas y preparaba bebidas detrás de la barra en el Valle de San Fernando de Los Ángeles.

Fue bastante surrealista de ver, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que Scheana solía trabajar en Chili's antes de saltar a Hollywood con el exitoso programa de Bravo.

Andy Cohen's not leaving Bravo despite reports claiming he's negotiating a departure package amid legal troubles -- with a network rep blasting the unsubstantiated rumors.

A spokesperson for Bravo tells TMZ ... there is absolutely no truth to the rumor Andy's negotiating an exit from the network -- and they're shutting down any such notion as patently false.

Sources with direct knowledge also tell us a report that cited an anonymous source to run their headline was way off base, and that none of the info that got published was accurate.

Scheana Shay was slinging drinks somewhere other than SUR this week -- working a shift at a Chili's Grill & Bar instead ... going back to her server roots, pre-fame!

In videos obtained by TMZ, the "Vanderpump Rules" star was seen rocking a Chili's uniform Wednesday night while running food to tables and whipping up drinks behind the bar in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley.

It was pretty surreal to see, especially considering Scheana used to work at a Chili's back in the day -- before she skyrocketed in Hollywood by landing on the hit Bravo show.

Mariska Hargitay, conocida como Olivia Benson en "La Ley y Orden", se convirtió temporalmente en una policía de verdad cuando una niña perdida buscaba a su madre y acudió a ella en busca de ayuda.

Se dice que la niña pensó que Mariska era un oficial de policía real cuando vio su placa de policía de utilería, corriendo hacia ella en busca de ayuda, mientras que la actriz estaba en medio de la filmación de un episodio en Nueva York la semana pasada.

Los testigos informan que la niña -que se separó de su madre mientras estaba en Anne Loftus Playground en Fort Tryon Park- ni siquiera se dio cuenta del equipo de filmación o del compañero de escena de Mariska, Ice-T, en su búsqueda de ayuda. Al parecer, fue directamente a por Mariska.

Bethenny Frankel says things with her ex-hubby, Jason Hoppy, tanked so hard that sex with the guy was damn near impossible ... on her end, anyway.

On her podcast "Just B Divorced with Bethenny Frankel" -- which is all about their rocky marriage and messy divorce -- BF says her marriage with Jason was anything but hot and heavy -- in fact, she says he'd compare her to an ice block for dodging intimacy in bed.

The 'RHONY' alum put it bluntly ... explaining she wasn't into doing the deed with him because, well, she just didn't respect him anymore and had no desire to bang at all.

Mariska Hargitay -- known as Olivia Benson on 'Law & Order' -- temporarily became a real-life cop after a lost little girl was searching for her mother ... and came to her for help.

The child is said to have thought Mariska was an actual police officer as she clocked her prop cop badge .... bolting straight to her for help while the actress was in the middle of filming an 'SVU' episode in NYC last week.

Witnesses report the little girl -- who became separated from her mom while at Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park -- didn't even notice the filming crew or Mariska's scene partner, Ice-T, in her search for help. She just went straight for Mariska, apparently.

Una pobre mujer perdió la vida porque ella y su presunto asesino estaban siendo estafados por un tercero, y hablamos con algunos expertos que dicen que esto no va a parar.

El experto en tecnología Lance Ulanoff -que ha estado cubriendo este campo como periodista durante años- estuvo en "TMZ Live" el miércoles para discutir el tiroteo fatal de Loletha Hall, que fue asesinada a tiros a finales del mes pasado en Ohio después de que William Brock, de 81 años de edad, la confundió con una estafadora.

Lance nos dice que este es un caso extremo de este tipo de historias, y asegura que suceden todo el tiempo. Dice que por lo general no llegan a este nivel de violencia y tragedia. Desgraciadamente, en este caso sí... y dice que es un cuento con moraleja sobre los peligros de estos malos actores.

Unfortunately, here it did, and he says it's a cautionary tale on the dangers of these bad actors.

Brian Cox nunca ha tenido pelos en la lengua y esta vez le ha tocado a Joaquin Phoenix recibir sus dardos por su interpretación en la película "Napoleón".

La estrella de "Sucesión" lanzó una serie de comentarios en el HistFest de Londres esta semana, en donde criticó la representación de Phoenix de la figura histórica en 2023, como francamente horrible e incluso sugirió que debería haberle hecho más justicia al papel.

Brian dice: "Terrible. Terrible. Una actuación realmente terrible de Joaquin Phoenix. Es realmente espantosa. No sé en qué estaba pensando. Creo que es totalmente culpa suya y no creo que Ridley Scott lo ayudara".
