Timothée Chalamet clearly doesn't have a playoff superstition when it comes to his hair ... because he got a cut and shaved off his beard in the middle of the New York Knicks' playoff run.

The actor and diehard Knicks fans sat on celebrity row at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night to watch his favorite team complete a stunning comeback victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers ... but the Knicks weren't the only ones making a comeback -- Clean Cut Chalamet is back.

Check it out ... Timmy's hair is noticeably shorter and he's shaved off his thin mustache -- a transformation for the star many online are saying makes him look much younger than his 30 years.

The women of the new "Baywatch" reboot may be bringing the heat on camera ... but behind the scenes, there's competition brewing over who's becoming the franchise's next breakout bombshell.

A source on set tells TMZ ... there's some "tension" over who's filling the Pamela Anderson lane in the modern version of the iconic series ... and the contenders are Brooks Nader and Livvy Dunne.

Brooks certainly has the edge when it comes to screen time ... because she appears in virtually every episode ... while Livvy is only featured in three episodes -- less than half the season.

The Knicks won game 1 thanks to an insane comeback, and some diehard New York fans are already looking forward to the NBA Finals ... calling out Victor Wembanyama outside Madison Square Garden!

"We want Wemby! We want Wemby," hundreds of fans chanted outside the World's Most Famous Arena ... a place known for postgame insanity after big Knicks wins.

The vibes were clearly sky high for the Knicks fans Tuesday night ... after mounting one of the largest comebacks in NBA Playoff history.

NY trailed Cleveland by 22 points with less than 8 minutes left ... before going on a 30-8 run to force overtime.

WWE Superstar Danhausen is taking credit for the Cleveland Cavaliers' epic collapse against the New York Knicks ... but now he has some demands in order to keep the momentum going in the Big Apple's favor -- he wants to be right in the middle of Celebrity Row with Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner.

For those who don't know, Danhausen has a knack for cursing people ... or in this case, entire NBA franchises.

He issued a curse on the Cavs ahead of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday morning due to his love for NYC and his hate for The Miz (a big Cleveland fan) ... and fast forward to the end of Game 1, the Knicks came back from more than 20 down to win in overtime.

BTS really had a packed schedule during their tour stop in Stanford ... 'cause it turns out SUGA competed in a race before taking the stage on Sunday -- and he put his "blood, sweat and tears" into it.

The footage of Yoongi's outing surfaced on Wednesday ... showing the rapper trotting alongside a bunch of normies who probably had no idea they were in the presence of a K-pop idol.

The event was a 12K called Bay to Breakers ... and while it's known for contestants wearing costumes, the artist kept it casual with black athletic clothes and a blue hat.

Jalen Hurts' absence from A.J. Brown's wedding might not be as spicy as folks are making it out to be ... 'cause NFL legend Julio Jones tells TMZ Sports he, too, got invited to the nuptials -- and even though the groom is a good friend, he unfortunately couldn't make it either.

The superstar Eagles receiver and Kelsey Riley tied the knot over the weekend in Laguna Beach ... and a lot of chatter has been about how his QB was MIA from the ceremony, despite their friendship dating back to high school and Jalen being A.J.'s daughter's godfather.

The popular narrative online is that their football issues might have caused a major rift in their personal lives.

The New York Knicks bulldozed their way through their opponents so far this postseason ... but will their dominant run come to an end against the Cleveland Cavaliers??

If you ask former Knicks superstar Amar'e Stoudemire, his answer is a big "heck no" ... 'cause he feels they're just getting started!!

We caught up with STAT prior to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Tuesday ... and had to ask how a super-rested Knickerbockers squad will fare against a Cavs team that just finished off the Detroit Pistons less than 48 hours ago.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will almost certainly have inked a prenup before their summer wedding ... and if they do, it's all about location, location, location.

Taylor and Travis check all the boxes for a couple that needs a prenup ... there is so much money on the line, plus they are both active money earners. Taylor is worth an estimated $2 billion and Travis comes in at $90 million.

Picking a state where the prenup is drafted will be just as important as picking out a wedding venue. The laws governing prenups vary from state to state, and these prenups typically say the law of the state where it's written will apply, regardless of where they end up living.

Rashee Rice is going to spend a chunk of his offseason behind bars -- the Kansas City Chiefs receiver was just ordered to serve 30 days in jail for violating the conditions of his probation in connection to his 2024 car crash.

According to online court records, Rice was placed in custody on Tuesday after his drug test came back positive for THC -- the main ingredient in marijuana.

He will be released on June 16.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba can't catch a break -- the Seattle Seahawks superstar was excited to unbox his well-deserved AP Offensive Player of the Year trophy this week ... just for it to be riddled with errors.

The 24-year-old wide receiver went to social media to express his frustrations with the hardware ... the biggest problem being the thing says "defensive," not "offensive" player of the year.

On top of that, JSN pointed out how "the year" was etched on it as one word, not two.

Indianapolis Colts star Camryn Bynum's dance battle with J-Hope at Saturday's BTS concert was just a taste of what's to come ... 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he will honor the legendary K-pop group on the gridiron this season!!

The NFL safety went viral for the brief moment he shared with the rapper/dancer/singer on the first night of the "ARIRANG World Tour" stop in Stanford ... when they traded moves during a performance of "Anpanman."

Bynum posted the interaction on social media ... and it has since racked up a ton of views and likes -- as well as a comment from Hobi himself!!

O.J. Simpson secretly believed he owed his freedom to Mark Fuhrman after his acquittal in his famous 1995 double murder trial -- while also thinking the then-LAPD detective was a total racist, according to The Juice's attorney.

Malcolm LaVergne, OJ's longtime lawyer and executor of his estate, tells TMZ ... "Privately, O.J. was very thankful for Mark Fuhrman because Mark Fuhrman blew up the case for prosecutors" during O.J.'s 1995 trial for the savage murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman, in Los Angeles. LaVergne pointed out O.J. saw Fuhrman as his "get out of jail free card."

As we first reported, Fuhrman died from throat cancer Tuesday in Idaho, where he moved after retiring from the Los Angeles Police Department in August 1995.

LaVergne also said O.J. didn't care much for Fuhrman, viewing him as a racist after his repeated use of the n-word was revealed during the O.J. trial.

Brock Lesnar pulled a Tom Brady at "WWE Raw" on Monday -- the Beast Incarnate "unretired" and got revenge on Oba Femi just weeks after seemingly ending his career at WrestleMania ... but the iconic moment wasn't without issue.

The chaos unfolded at First Horizon Coliseum ... as Lesnar attacked Femi at the start of his open challenge, hitting his foe with several F-5 finishers as payback for the loss he suffered in Las Vegas last month.

After the last painful move, Lesnar sat next to a wincing Femi ... and his positioning might've had something to do with the fact he busted his jeans wide open during his brutal beatdown, exposing his undies in the process.

Adrien Broner's boxing career is behind him, but he's found a new lane with streaming ... and fellow fighter Andre Berto tells TMZ Sports he's thrilled to see AB try his hand at entertainment -- that is, as long as he proceeds with caution.

AB has become the latest big name to take his talents to Kick ... joining forces with DeenTheGreat for some pretty wild content for his thousands of subscribers.

There has been some concern about his actions in front of the camera -- like drinking and questionable interactions with women -- and Berto said he actually checked in on AB recently to make sure he's good.

Ex-UFC star Diego Sanchez and his wife, Teresa Tapia, divorced weeks before he avoided prison time in his criminal case, TMZ has learned.

Teresa filed a petition for divorce on February 16, 2026, citing “irreconcilable differences” and said there was no hope for a reconciliation.

The paperwork listed the date of marriage as December 20, 2024. The exes reached a settlement agreement, which stated they started to live separately in April 2025.
