Kim Kardashian is getting heat from fans for posting photos of herself partying with her sisters just after her grandmother died -- but the SKIMS founder says she has a logical explanation for it all.

KK posted a series of pics on Instagram Thursday, showing her, Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner on a boat having the time of their lives, with Kendall swigging tequila. There were also pics of the rest of the fam enjoying their time on vacation.

This came just minutes before their mom, Kris Jenner, announced on her IG that her mother, Mary Jo -- AKA "MJ" -- had died.     

Jerry Rice chased down a heckler on a golf course and got all up in their face ... and the way he ran after the guy made it look like Jerry could still hold his own in the NFL!!!

Ya gotta see the video ... Jerry is taking a swing at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe when a spectator starts chirping the NFL legend. Jerry spins around, looks for the heckler and dashes off the tee box to find him.

Jerry asks, "Which one? Which one?" as he sprints toward the heckler, who was hightailing it outta there.

Margaret Cho isn't letting Lindsey Graham rest in peace ... ripping into him in a shocking TikTok video just hours after he died.

The controversial comedian posted a video to TikTok Sunday morning with the caption, "Bye gurl" -- though it's more of a "good riddance" than a "bon voyage."

In the clip, Margaret says goodbye to Lindsey several times ... before repeating an oft-repeated rumor that Graham was gay.

A photo making the rounds on social media has sparked rumors that Meagan Good is pregnant ... but TMZ has learned she's not expecting and the image has been doctored.

We're told the viral pic is an A.I.-altered image. The original photo is actually a paparazzi agency image from 2015 that was digitally manipulated to make it appear Meagan is showing a baby bump.

There are also some obvious signs the image was altered. Take a closer look and you'll notice what appears to be extra fingers on Meagan's hands -- a common giveaway in A.I.-generated or A.I.-edited images.

Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour dancer Tori Evans was torn apart online for wearing white to the superstar's wedding ... but her husband says her dress wasn't white at all!

Tori's husband defended her on social media after the internet criticized her dress choice, commenting on the viral Instagram Reel of their outfits, "DRESS IS PINK CHAMPAGNE color for everyone that doesn’t understand lighting 😂."

But, not everyone was convinced, with one arguing, "Champagne shades are still bridal colors. She looks great but the Internet is not going to like this. Wrong occasion for this dress." Several others shared a similar sentiment, as you can see by some of the comments above.

The heat is on, even when the AC is on ... at least that's the way NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani wants it.

Hizzoner is getting dragged for a tweet addressing the scorching heat ... "It's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees ..."

Well, folks are going scorched earth on the Mayor, with one person firing back ... "My AC in the free state of South Carolina is set to 69 right now and the door is open so my dog can watch for invading communists, like yourself, in comfort."

Paget Brewster seemingly lost her 'criminal mind' for a moment ... tearing into a reviewer just doing her job -- though she issued an apology shortly after.

Here's the deal ... Shealyn Scott -- a senior writer for Screenrant -- wrote a review about "Criminal Minds: Evolution" titled "Paramount+'s Criminal Minds Format Change Finally Backfires."

In the article, Shealyn does what critics do -- critiquing the show's downgrade from 20+ episode seasons to 10-episode affairs on the streaming site. It's really her only gripe ... so it may have floored her when Paget called her out on social.

Jeff Bezos experienced a major setback with his Blue Origin rocket, which exploded in a fireball during a ground test in Florida.

The dramatic scene was captured on video Thursday night as the Blue Origin New Glenn rocket was trying to lift off from a launchpad at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Blue Origin said it was all part of an engine test being conducted for a satellite launch next week.

Ray J's knockout loss to Supa Hot Fire is turning into an even bigger mess ... 'cause the promoters behind the fight are investigating possible foul play.

Brand Risk Promotions released a statement Monday, announcing it has launched an internal investigation after one of the fighters allegedly insinuated there may have been a "prearranged plan" tied to Saturday night's bout.

Jeff Probst says he knew he screwed something up on the live taping of the "Survivor 50" finale when the energy in the room suddenly changed ... and he's explaining how the major blunder unfolded.

The longtime "Survivor" host joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and broke down the mistake he made live on air, when he announced the loser of a challenge before viewers saw the results.

Jeff says he was backstage preparing for live interviews with contestants as pretaped segments aired ... he wasn't watching the live finale, and was just a little ahead in the script when he came out to talk to Rizo Velovic.

King Charles III is still kicking ... as in he's alive and well, despite what a UK radio station had to say earlier this week.

Folks in Atlanta, Georgia ain't happy about the recent Waymo invasion in their neighborhoods ... complaining vehicles are clogging up their streets and causing safety concerns -- and videos of the robot-car gridlock are going viral.

WSB-TV Atlanta spoke to a handful of irritated residents in the suburbs of Atlanta who say empty Waymos are circling their cul-de-sacs -- one person claims they observed 50 cars pass by within one hour. Other videos show similar swarms of the driverless vehicles on city streets.

Residents say this is happening during the morning hours ... one person pointing out, "We have small animals and pets, got kids getting on the bus in the morning and it just doesn’t feel safe to have that traffic."

Tyla revealed their slightly awkward interactions actually started last year when she first met Rihanna at another event -- saying the superstar seemed occupied before eventually dipping out after mentioning her baby daddy was calling her.

The local sheriff's office tasked with investigating the Nancy Guthrie abduction is firing back at Kash Patel after the FBI director ripped them for their handling of the case.

Patel went on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast and claimed Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos benched the FBI for the first four days of the investigation. Patel also took issue with Nanos sending critical evidence to a lab in Florida instead of the FBI lab in Quantico.

In response, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office tells TMZ … "Sheriff Nanos responded to the scene the night of the incident, providing immediate local leadership and oversight. A member of the FBI Task Force was also notified and present at that scene, working alongside our personnel. The FBI was promptly notified by both our department and the Guthrie family. While the FBI Director was not on scene, coordination with the Bureau began without delay."
