Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori are throwing away the comparison rumors by completely switching their looks ... so let's compare their rockin' new hairdos!!!

Kim stepped out in a fierce, black pixie cut at Paris Fashion Week ... while Bianca opted for a curly, blonde head of hair during a recently posted photoshoot -- both seemingly new dos for the gals, proving they can pull off quite the range of looks.

Bianca is seen in a skin-tight, nude leotard and heels as she's crouched down, clutching a plush bunny rabbit while serving a full pout straight into the camera lens ... once again, turning heads without saying a word.

Dave Chappelle's been taking his act on the road for decades ... and it looks like he might be open to booking more dates in the Middle East in the future.

The comedian appeared at the controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival on Saturday and declared it's "easier to talk" in Saudi Arabia than it is back home in the United States, according to The New York Times.

Dave, who headlined the festival, also touched on the murder of Charlie Kirk during his set, and joked he'd likely be "canceled" for speaking about the late right-wing media figure if he did so Stateside.

He admitted he wasn't sure how his comments would be received back home ... before adding he was probably going to "find out."

Dave ended his set expressing his fears about going back to the United States, and he brought up his concern about being silenced over what he's said ... he said his fans would know whether he was in distress if he ended up publicly expressing his support for Israel.

The festival hasn't been intensely criticized by some fellow comics ... others have spoken out about contract restrictions on jokes about royals and religion, among other topics.

Robert Irwin is quickly becoming a sex symbol ... and now he's been offered a guest spot to show off his rockin' bod at the famed Chippendales.

Here's the deal ... the Australian wildlife conservationist -- and son of the legendary Steve Irwin -- has been killing it on "Dancing with the Stars" ... but a recent shirtless moment really sent fans over the edge.

His chiseled chest also caught the attention of the bosses over at Chippendales in Las Vegas ... and TMZ has learned they sent a pitch to his manager -- who happens to be his mother, Terri Irwin -- asking if Robert wants to come dance in Sin City once the network show is done.

'DWTS' fans thought Danielle Fishel shaded Whitney Leavitt while celebrating another week on the show ... but she says, nope, that ain’t it!

We ran into the "Boy Meets World" star after 'DWTS' practice Wednesday ... she said the show’s an emotional rollercoaster -- you’re hyped to stick around with your pals, but bummed when friends get the boot.

Danielle says she wasn’t throwing shade at all ... she was just trying to comfort her pals Lauren Jauregui and Brandon Armstrong after they got the axe ... which meant she had to pause Whitney’s celebrations.

Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert dropped by each other's late shows Tuesday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music for a crossover episode ... and shed some light on the high-stakes drama both programs have been through.

Obviously, Kimmel had the most to get off his chest ... finally spilling on just what happened when the 'Live' host learned ABC was pulling his show off the air "indefinitely" after his comments about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer created a firestorm.

As you know ... JK's show has since resumed ... but as you can see in the video, Kimmel tells Colbert when he first learned of the suspension, he thought the program was toast. Of course, he added some levity to the moment, and said he took the call in the bathroom.

William Shatner’s bouncing back from last week’s blood sugar scare ... spotted behind the wheel, cruising back to his L.A. pad.

Quite the turnaround from last week... when Shatner was rushed to the hospital and his agent, Harry Gold, confirmed to us it was a blood sugar issue.

Ted Cruz just served up his own late-night hot take ... and Jimmy Kimmel's talk show return is squarely in the spotlight.

TMZ got the Senator talking Monday -- and he didn’t mince his words, saying Jimmy used to be hilarious, but somewhere along the way, he traded punchlines for political rants ... and, in Ted’s view, that’s when the laughs (and ratings) nosedived.

Still, Cruz isn’t cheering for a cancellation -- in fact, he says the FCC needs to butt out completely, 'cause according to him, the government threatening comedians is a slippery slope that could bite everyone in the bum.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy is doing some of his own verbal dance moves, walking back comments he made about his brother's "Dancing with the Stars" partner, Alix Earle.

Maksim tells TMZ ... his prior criticisms of the Alix not putting enough emotion into her initial performance this season, thereby hindering the couple's performance, were premature ... 'cause she kicked ass the next time out!

Sinclair said the past week had brought a flood of feedback -- from viewers, advertisers, and community leaders -- all pushing them to decide keeping Kimmel on-air is key to fostering respectful dialogue across a spectrum of differing voices.

Earlier this week, ABC announced Kimmel would return to the airwaves Tuesday night ... but Sinclair and Nexstar Media Group -- two media companies that own a significant amount of local affiliate stations -- said they were both resisting bringing Jimmy back ... leaving about 20% of the country without his show while talks with Disney dragged on.
