Marlon Wayans says his eldest child is transgender, and now identifies as male with a different name ... changes Marlon says took some getting used to on his part.

The comedian made the revelation on "The Breakfast Club" ... telling the crew that his new comedy special, "Rainbow Child," was going to tackle this exact topic, in hopes of helping other parents who have trans kids.

Marlon explained last week that 23-year-old Amai goes by Kai now ... and MW calls him his son. You can tell it's still fairly new, because he accidentally mis-genders Kai while discussing him.

It's pretty eye-opening, but it's clear Marlon has embraced the change with open arms -- although, he admits it's been a learning process ... and took quite a bit of education, on his part, to come around to love and acceptance.

As he explains here, Marlon was in "complete denial" for a while -- but now says he has nothing but unconditional love for Kai. It's unclear when exactly the transition happened -- but Marlon's been photographed with Kai and his other son Shawn in recent years.

Bart Simpson has not escaped cartoon discipline by choking at the hands of his papa ... despite Homer Simpson's words to the contrary.

It seemed Homer had turned a new leaf, but co-creator James L. Brooks told PEOPLE, nothin's gonna change ... Homer will continue to have a stranglehold on Bart.

Word spread quickly after an episode aired a few weeks back, where a new neighbor told Homer he had a firm handshake, to which Homer responded, "See Marge, strangling the boy has paid off!" But then he backtracked, saying, "Just kidding. I don't do that anymore."

It seemed the P.C. Police may have infiltrated the production, but Brooks has set the record straight, saying, "Don't think for a second we're changing anything."

Brooks revealed an illustration of Homer with his hands on Bart's neck, as the never-aging boy clutched his smartphone displaying a story that said, "Simpsons: No more strangling."

But Brooks was clear ... "Nothing's getting tamed. Nothing, nothing, nothing." He'll continue to be strangled—[if] you want to use that awful term for it. He'll continue to be loved by his father in a specific way."

Bill Maher launched on public schools Friday night, and it's hard to argue with the premise ... public schools are failing -- failing students AND teachers -- and maybe the "old" way of running schools should be revisited.

The 'Real Time' host laid out the problem with some pretty graphic video ... and it's hard to argue that the inmates are not running the asylum. Video after video shows teachers being beaten, kicked and attacked in various other ways. One in 7 teachers has been the victim of some form of physical violence at the hands of their students.

BM blames a lot of that on parents, who used to have teachers' backs ... now their kids can do no wrong.

On a hilarious note, Bill notes 20 years ago kids looked like Britney Spears in that famous music video. Today, they look more like Brit dancing with knives.

And speaking of celebs, Maher is incredulous people like LeBron, George Clooney, Kanye and others have opened their own schools ... as in why does that make the school attractive to parents?

A screaming match broke out between "The Real Housewives of Miami" stars Alexia Nepola and Adriana de Moura after landing in Miami Monday following their appearance at BravoCon.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the pair exchanged hefty words when Alexia confronted Adriana near baggage claim in an explosive situation that resembled something you'd see on the show ... telling Adriana the claims she made on the new season of the Bravo show that she and her husband Todd were financially struggling was f***ed.

We're told Adriana told Alexia, "You act like you're the star of the show," -- with her barking back, "Yes, I am the star of the show!"

Adriana, dressed in a COVID mask and white gloves, was overheard telling her costar Julia Lemigova Alexia had it out for her because she's the weakest ... adding she was mean to her and telling Julia, "This is your friend ... do you see what she does to me? Do you want to be friends with this person?"

Our sources say the war of words was so volatile ... fellow cast member Kiki Barth was overheard urging the ladies to reign it in before someone in the airport started recording them.

The blowout yelling match ended with the two reality stars going their separate ways to their cars.

The dramatic Miami meltdown was a result of Adriana commenting on Alexia and Todd's alleged financial struggles during the premiere episode of the new season.

Tisha Campbell made a pretty hilarious discovery in cleaning out her late father's home following his death ... coming across a seemingly endless collection of porn DVDs.

Tisha's dad, Clifton Campbell, died Nov. 1, but the actress and her family were able to enjoy some comedic relief as they found the X-rated stash going through his belongings.

The "Martin" star joked she could open up her own porn store as she sifted through titles like "Gaping Black Buttholes," "White Ho's With Bros," and "Black Cobra." Of course, each DVD came complete with sexually explicit graphics on top.

Funny enough, Tisha also tells a story of how she recently told her 76-year-old dad he needed to get rid of his outdated DVD player ... and how it's now clear why he fought her to keep it. "Now we know why, you nasty a**!" she quipped.

Chuckling away with her family, it was clear Tisha was more entertained than embarrassed by the NSFW findings ... even writing in her IG caption that while mourning was difficult, it was nice to find "levity and laughter with the family" -- and was adamant her dad would've loved their reaction to finding his erotic entertainment catalog.

Jenelle Evans' teenage son, Jace, has been keeping his distance from his mom and her husband, David Eason ... and we're told the kid's happier now than he's been in a long time.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... 14-year-old Jace has zero contact with the "Teen Mom" star and David, as he's been living with Jenelle's mom, Barbara, while he remains under custody of Child Protective Services. Sources say Barbara also isn't in contact with Jenelle or David.

TMZ broke the story, David was charged with child abuse in a case involving Jace ... allegedly roughing up the teen and causing "marks on the right arm and left and right side of the neck," according to court docs.

The docs also say Jace's injuries weren't sustained by accident ... and the date of the alleged incident was the same day Jace slipped out his bedroom window and ran away from home.

We're told Jace is glad to be back living with his grandma ... and the place feels like home to him. Jenelle just regained custody of Jace earlier this year, so he's really spent most of his childhood in Barbara's care.

He also recently enrolled in a brand new school after being out for the past few months. You'll recall, he was reported as a runaway after getting in trouble at school back in August.

"Good Burger" and "Kenan & Kel" star Kel Mitchell is now at home and on the road to recovery after his mysterious hospitalization ... something he's calling "genuinely frightening."

Kel broke his silence about the ordeal Wednesday night, saying on Instagram, "Grateful for the flood of prayers and positive vibes" -- adding, "The scare was real, but so was the support."

The 45-year-old goes on to say, "With the grace of God and the skill of the medical team, I'm now on the road to recovery at home, embraced by the love of my family" ... and he's shouting out all the folks who wished him well while spending time at the hospital.

Fans have been sounding off in the comments ... wishing him well, and asking what happened to land him in the ER -- but he's staying silent for the time being.

TMZ broke the story, Kel was admitted into a Los Angeles-area hospital Tuesday night, coming in through the facility's emergency room. We're told he appeared alert when he arrived.

Kim Kardashian once vowed she'd never get a tattoo, but as they say ... never say never, especially if you can stash that ink away in a super-hidden place on your body.

KK dropped the tat bomb on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians" while chatting with her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, about his desire to get matching tattoos for his Las Vegas wedding with Lukas Gage ... and Kim didn't seem down to participate.

Chris then points out the tat she has inside her lower lip, prompting her to flash the small infinity symbol to the camera -- as she put it, "Here's something you don't know about me."

Kim says she her friends all got the symbol in 2021 when Kim was hosting 'SNL,' and she actually agreed to get one, too ... as long as it was someplace the public couldn't see!

Kim and Chris even say she finally "put a bumper sticker on a Bentley" -- a reference to something she told Wendy Williams back in 2009 when asked if she'd ever get some artwork on her body.

Obviously, she changed her tune once, so ya gotta wonder if she'd do it again ... on the DL, of course!!!

Kel Mitchell -- famous for his work on "Good Burger" as well as "Kenan & Kel" -- is currently hospitalized, TMZ has learned.

We know the actor was admitted into a Los Angeles-area hospital Tuesday night, coming in through the emergency room. A witness tells us Kel appeared to be conscious and alert when he arrived.

The cause of Kel's illness is unclear, but we do know as of Wednesday, he was still in the hospital getting treatment. It's unknown when he'll be released or what his current condition is.

We reached out to Kel's reps, who did not comment on his situation.

Kel's social media pages are still posting despite his hospital stay -- but it's mostly promotional material -- including his work on "Hollywood Squares" and upcoming flick, "Good Burger 2" ... so it's likely the posts were preplanned.

Fans know Kel got his start in the Nickelodeon series, "All That" in the 90's ... before teaming up with "SNL" star Kenan Thompson for "Kenan & Kel" -- the 2 also starred in "Good Burger" in the middle of their comedy show success ... with a sequel to the burger film dropping later this month.

Adam22 and Lena the Plug are satisfying their needs by starting a new reality show ... where the winner gets to hop in the sack with the newlyweds ... TMZ has learned.

"For the Love of Lena" will see 10 men compete for the grand prize, or prizes ... as the case is here. Some of the contestants include TikToker Cripmac, tap-dancing virgin Cherdley, male porn star John Legendary -- who's known for banging other men's wives -- and "dreamboat" Thugger.

Expect some stiff competition when the show launches Monday on YouTube -- but the eventual champ's threesome with Lena and Adam -- their first male-male-female -- will be on OnlyFans. Sorry, no freebies for the steamy, and very adult, finale.

Adam and Lena are no strangers to making headlines for their unconventional marriage -- you'll recall he became the butt of jokes earlier this year when he fully consented to male porn star Jason Luv sleeping with his wife.

Lena passionately defended his honor, telling us it was a double standard because they had hundreds of threesomes with other women and no one took issue with that.

If you didn't know, the couple's been doing their successful "Plug Talk Podcast" for years ... where they interview a random woman before hooking up with her. Now, they're on to bigger things, leveling the playing field with the reality competition.

Taylor Hale -- the first Black woman to win "Big Brother" -- says the show certainly has a racism problem, but thinks there's an easier way to deal with it besides outright canceling.

We talked to the reality show winner, who took home an $800k cash prize last year, in L.A. about what she made of a recurring theme on 'BB' lately ... namely, white contestants continuing to say problematic things about fellow Black competitors year in and year out.

Taylor says she's definitely aware of that trend but doesn't think it's unique to the famous CBS series. On the contrary, she says it's simply a microcosm of American society.

Interestingly enough ... TH also doesn't think the racism and/or microaggressions -- of which she fell victim to on several occasions -- are a cardinal sin in and of themselves in the context of the show. In fact, Taylor says it's a strategic tactic that could be used to win.

What she does take issue with, however, is when people get called out for it ... only to try and deny any wrongdoing. In her eyes, if folks just owned their bad behavior and chalked it up to competition ... they'd probably come out on the other side relatively unscathed.

It's a fascinating take ... basically, Taylor sounds like a realist here -- noting that racism absolutely exists, but also pointing out that people showing their true biased colors in the course of the show isn't as big a deal as Twitter makes it out to be each season.

Case by case, of course ... sometimes contestants say/do things that are actually cancelable -- and when they do, they're booted ASAP. Taylor says 'BB' handles all this well enough.

Kim Kardashian knows how to draw a big crowd, and an even bigger guest list ... calling on some high-profile celebs to show up at her big collab between SKIMS and Swarovski.

KK's event went down in NYC Tuesday, at the opening of the jewelry company's new store on Fifth Ave ... and the grand opening doubled as a celebration of its recent team-up with Kim's fashion brand.

Kim wore a shiny -- and revealing -- crystal top, with a skirt to match ... which was on top of a pair of her Swarovski x SKIMS boxers. She also showed up in a sparkling, custom taxi with the brand's logos on it, sticking with the night's theme.

Kim certainly had backup star power ... Serena Williams, Jeremy Pope, Billy Porter, Lake Bell, La La Anthony, Ashley Graham, Jasmine Tookes, Teyana Taylor, Madelaine Petsch, Georgia May Jagger and more all pulled up to the big event.

Even Kim's "American Horror Story" costar, Emma Roberts, made an appearance -- taking a night off from being a scream queen to support her pal.

SKIMS seems to keep moving up and up, despite already appearing to dominate the fashion industry -- she recently launched a line just for men, and the company became the NBA's official underwear partner.

Matthew Perry has been laid to rest alongside some of the biggest stars in Hollywood -- but it looks like his loved ones want to keep his grave's exact location under wraps for now.

TMZ has learned where, precisely, the late "Friends" star's burial plot is at the Forest Lawn cemetery in Hollywood Hills -- where his former costars and family members came together last week to honor him during an intimate funeral.

As it turns out, Matt's casket has been placed within the walls of the Sanctuary of Treasured Love ... a private section on the grounds that's gated off and secluded.

The reason for that privacy and security has to do with who else is buried there -- including Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Michael Clarke Duncan and Ronnie James Dio -- among other big celebs.

Now, Matt's there too ... but like we said, it would appear his family isn't quite ready to have the public come flocking just yet.

Following Friday's service, there was a huge flower arrangement left in memorial at Matthew's gravesite -- which was there until as recently as Monday. However, on Tuesday, those same flowers were gone, and his burial plot is relatively bare -- as seen in these pics.

Matthew's burial spot has yet to be officially marked, but headstones are usually completed and installed on the gravesite sometime later.

As we reported ... Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc were among the select few who came to say farewell to their dear friend and longtime cast member.

The funeral service looked incredibly solemn ... capping off a heart-wrenching week where everyone was seeking answers to explain his sudden and shocking death.

There still are no official answers, and likely won't be for several weeks or months, but what we do know is Matt was on the straight and narrow, substance-wise, before he died and in a great place personally and professionally.

Kroy Biermann's failure to respond to a repo case filed against him has finally reached its breaking point -- 'cause a judge just ruled he's gotta fork over his Rolls-Royce.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, the former NFLer had a default judgment entered against him over the luxury car ... which he'd been leasing since 2020. BMW alleged he'd recently ghosted them on payments ... and filed a lawsuit so it could repossess the sweet ride.

Now, after months of no reply from Kroy ... a judge has signed off in favor of BMW, ordering Kroy to surrender possession of the Rolls stat.

In the judge's order, KB is instructed to hand over the vehicle to law enforcement in Fulton County where he lives so BMW can reclaim it.

It's unclear what Kroy's gonna do ... considering he hasn't uttered a peep in his defense in this case -- something tells us a tow truck might be pulling up to his crib in the near future ... and haul the car away.

Remember, BMW claimed Kroy had agreed to a 3-year lease with them -- from 2020 to 2023 -- and would pay $5,297.64/month ... for a total of $190k. However, the company alleged he'd stopped paying altogether -- with them saying the last sign of dough arrived in Sept. 2022.

Kroy's attorney spoke to us when this suit was first filed ... and the response was very much, it is what it is. Kroy acknowledges he's in dire financial straits right now amid his ongoing divorce with Kim Zolciak -- and it sounds like he's got bigger fish to fry besides a Rolls.

Their fancy house, for example, comes to mind ... with the bank moving towards foreclosure and Kim/Kroy trying to sell it off first in hopes of recouping some cash to handle the rest of their affairs.

With everything else going on in Kroy's life at the moment, he can afford to lose the Rolls.

Former child star Evan Ellingson's death is being investigated as a possible overdose ... we're told evidence was found at the scene which might point to drug use.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... drug paraphernalia was found at the San Bernardino County home, where Evan was found dead on Sunday. Right now, cops are continuing to investigate and we're told the case is being looked at as a possible OD.

Sources close to the case tell us the pending results of Ellingson's toxicology report will determine how the investigation will proceed -- if drugs are found to have been the cause, authorities could potentially investigate where they came from, and if there's any criminal culpability.

TMZ broke the story, Ellingson's body was found in his bedroom ... and officials told us there appeared to be no foul play involved.

Alan Ruck's car crash last week is still a mystery in terms of cause -- but cops do have a theory they're running with for now ... they think technology got the better of a human.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... investigators believe they know what caused the "Succession" star's wreck at a pizza parlor in Hollywood, and from the sounds of it -- the police are buying Alan's story here.

Our sources say Alan told officers he simply didn't know what caused the accident.

We're told those who were on the scene believed him -- as they saw no evidence he was under the influence, distracted or otherwise impaired during the accident ... so, as far as they're concerned, they believe it was, in fact, just an accident.

Our sources also tell us the LAPD thinks this was just a mishap arising from the fact that Alan's truck, a Rivian R1T, is brand-spanking new and super high-tech.

Indeed, it is an electric truck ... and it certainly looks fancy from the inside out. It also features three all-wheel drive systems -- Dual Motor, Performance Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor ... and depending on which one you're on, it can go from 0-60 MPH reeeal fast.

We have no idea if or how any of this played a part in Alan's sitch -- but it sounds like the police think he might've just been in over his head handling this machine ... and that it just got away from him. As a result, we're told they're closing the book on this case ... and leaving it to insurance.
