Fans of the "God of War" game series, put down your controllers and pick up your remotes, you finally have your Kratos ... because Ryan Hurst's been tapped to portray the antihero in the game's TV adaptation.

Plus, the long-running video game series' fans are gonna see a whole lot of the character over the next few years ... because the show received a two-season order from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, Deadline reports.

The upcoming show's going to follow Kratos and his son as they head out on a presumably blood-soaked journey to spread the ashes of Kratos' wife, the son's mother ... no word on who's gonna play Kratos' kid yet.

FYI ... the most recent two games in the series focused on Kratos' relationship with his son, so it'll be interesting to see how the show deals with their connection.

Oh, and speaking of the games, this'll mark Hurst's return to the series ... because he voiced and portrayed Thor via motion capture in "God of War: Ragnarök," which was released in 2022.

Hurst should be a natural fit for the series, too ... he's played more than a few burly, imposing dudes in shows like "Sons of Anarchy" and "The Walking Dead."

If you’re scratching your head over Ne-Yo’s polyamorous setup, relax ... 'cause he’s breaking it all the way down and giving a no-nonsense explanation of how the whole thing actually works.

Ne-Yo laid it out on "Sherri" ... saying he never wanted to lie to another woman again after his nasty, public divorce ... and it's that mindset that led to a convo with his longest-standing GF of the three about possibly expanding the relationship, instead of sneaking around.

Ne-Yo said he gave her the choice to open things up to two other women -- no pressure, no ultimatums, totally her call. In the end, everyone was on board, and all three decided to stick around.

Sydney Sweeney is wildin' out on OnlyFans with a full-on booty shake -- psych! It’s not her. It’s Cassie going full send in the latest "Euphoria" trailer, and yeah… things get very raunchy, very fast.

Yup -- the first teaser for S3 just dropped, and Sydney is fully locked into Cassie mode, playing a cam girl with one very up-close, in-your-face shot of her shaking her booty while rocking a sexy bunny-tail cosplay outfit.

There's some other quick flashes of Cassie filming adult content on a bed -- until her boo Nate (Jacob Elordi) walks in mid-scene, and makes it clear he's not thrilled about her new X-rated side hustle.

NeNe Leakes is heading back to Bravo ... years after her exit, TMZ has learned.

Production sources tell TMZ ... "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum will appear on Bravo's newly announced working-title series, "The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip," which Andy Cohen announced during BravoCon. While the series was announced, no cast members were named.

Our sources say NeNe -- who departed "RHOA" after Season 12 in 2020 -- will not be a full-time cast member, but will have a notable presence when the show makes its way to Atlanta. We're told she will appear only during the Atlanta leg of the trip.

Nikki Glaser got rave reviews for hosting the Golden Globes -- but not every joke survived the cut, including a savage one about Sydney Sweeney ... and she’s finally spilling the punchlines that never made it to air.

The comic was on "The Howard Stern Show" Tuesday, revealing one joke was gonna be about how people just aren’t showing up to theaters anymore ... with her biggest example being "Christy" starring Sydney as a lesbian running around in tiny shorts and still only pulling in about $14 at the box office!

That one def got a laugh out of Howard -- but Nikki explained she ultimately cut it from her final monologue because Sydney wasn’t even going to be at the ceremony!

NBC has yanked a new episode of “Law & Order: SVU” that was to air this week ... because it features Timothy Busfield, who's facing child sex abuse charges.

A source with knowledge confirmed to TMZ ... this Thursday's 'SVU,' titled "Corrosive," will be shelved ... and a new episode scheduled for next week has been bumped up.

It's unclear if Timothy's one-off episode -- in which he plays Judge Warren Fels -- will ever see the light of day.

Leonardo DiCaprio might’ve been muttering insults under his breath at Nikki Glaser's Golden Globes roast -- but Sarah Silverman tells us there’s no debate ... she straight-up killed it as host!

We caught up with the comedy legend at LAX Monday, and she couldn’t stop raving about Nikki’s hosting gig the night before ... showering her with praise and saying she seriously raised the bar.

You’ve gotta catch the clip ... we also ask Sarah whether Nikki crossed the line going after certain people, and get her take on whether she thinks she'll be back to host again next year.

Wanda Sykes gave Bill Maher a shot at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards Sunday night ... telling her fellow comedian to stop yapping so much.

Sykes' slap-down occurred as she presented the award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on TV with Maher sitting in the star-studded crowd. The nominees were Brett Goldstein, Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani, Ricky Gervais, and Sarah Silverman.

At one point during her speech, Sykes talked about giving the nominees "love" before focusing her attention on Maher.

Check out the video ... Wanda says, "Bill Maher, you give us so much, but I would love a little less." The audience starts chuckling as Wanda delivers the punch line, "Just ... try less."

Nikki Glaser came out swinging as the host of the 2026 Golden Globes ... taking down CBS News and its new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss in one fell swoop.

She quipped, "The award for Most Editing goes to CBS News! Yes, CBS News -- America's newest place to see B.S. news."

ICYMI ... Bari stirred up a lot of controversy by killing a "60 Minutes" segment hours before it was scheduled to air. The report focused on the treatment of Venezuelan deportees from the United States to El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison, but Bari told The Hollywood Reporter it "was not ready" to see the light of day.

Guy Moon -- an Emmy-nominated music composer -- has died following a vehicle accident in California.

Moon -- best known for his work on the animated show "The Fairly OddParents" --died Thursday after he suffered "traumatic injuries" during a traffic collision in Los Angeles, according to the LA County Medical Examiner. Moon's family posted a statement on Facebook, saying they were going through "insurmountable grief."

There's something to be said for parents supporting their kids, even when they pose naked together for British Vogue ... and we wanna know if you can guess who this model mother is!

We caught up with this reality star, formerly a model herself, back in 2018 and asked her if she was proud of her kids' achievement ... and she couldn't have given them higher praise!

Not all weekends are made the same ... this is a big one, because Kyle Richards is turning 57!

And since the 'RHOBH' star's the picture of timeless beauty, it's gotta be the right time to share some of her hottest shots from over the years!

It's officially been four years to the day since Bob Saget died ... and his former costar and longtime friend John Stamos marked the anniversary of the actor's death by sharing a bunch of photos taken with Saget on his Instagram account on Friday.

The photos mostly showed the former "Full House" costars hanging out and spending time with their friends and family ... and we're sure he's got plenty more he's looking over today.

John wrote a message about how much he misses Bob, and he compared the feeling to "standing in a quiet room after the laughter stops" ... sure, it's somber, and bittersweet too.

FYI ... Bob died in 2022 after he hit his head in his room at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Orlando, Florida, where he'd checked in after finishing a show at a comedy club. We were later told Bob likely didn't realize how serious the injury was. He went to sleep and died from a brain bleed.

We caught up with John nine months after his longtime friend died and asked him what he missed most about Bob -- "everything" was the answer we were given.

John wasn't the only person to mark the time since Bob passed ... Bob's widow, Kelly Rizzo, shared an Instagram post composed of videos and photos of her late husband over the years, and wrote his sudden death was "unimaginably painful."

"Members Only: Palm Beach" star Gale Brophy is speaking out for the first time since the show aired ... and she says the newest women on the show are failing to represent the town with the elegance and refinement it’s known for.

Gale hopped on TMZ's 'Previously On...' podcast, and she tells us she would not have joined the show had she known how chaotic it would become ... unless the cast looked very different ... with the exception of Rosalyn.

The "Queen of Palm Beach" tells us her main issue isn’t the drama itself, but what she believes is a misrepresentation of Palm Beach culture. According to Gale, Palm Beach is the richest zip code in the world and operates by a strict code of etiquette, discretion, and philanthropy -- standards she says the new women simply don’t meet.

A "Stranger Things" actress left out of the finale season has made headlines after speculating about her exclusion ... and now TMZ has learned she's been told it'd be wise to pipe down.

Here's the deal ... Jennifer Marshall, who played Max's mom, remarked on fans questioning why her character went MIA from the series' final season ... the actress suggested producers didn't want to roll the dice since she was fighting stage 3 melanoma IRL.

Jennifer tells TMZ … she had no idea her comments would go viral -- and she wants to clarify that she wasn't knocking producers Shawn Levy or the Duffer brothers for not being invited back ... even if it sure hurt like hell to be ghosted.
