The Emmys came and went this week, but all the stars were still itching to have a good time after the fact ... so they hit the town en masse and did exactly that, with proof in the pics.

Just about every big-time TV star who was at Monday's award show went out to an after-party once the curtain came down -- and between 3 different shindigs that were going on ... there was certainly no shortage of raging to be had, with different options on the table.

For starters, you had Netflix's get-together ... which was a who's-who of A-listers. Just a handful of celebs who showed face at this thing -- Dave Chappelle, Pedro Pascal, Natasha Lyonne, Colman Domingo, Steven Yeun, Katherine Heigl, Niecy Nash, Evan Peters, Jenna Ortega, Trevor Noah, Giancarlo Esposito ... and a lot more.

Not too far away was Apple TV's big bash ... and that one was fairly star-studded as well. The big names who rolled through ... Zach Braff, Paul Walter Hauser, Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, Jason Segel, Hannah Waddingham, Jason Sudeikis, Calista Flockhart ... and others.

One other party that hosted a crap ton of people was the Governor's Gala ... and there, too, the stars flocked. Some of the notable famous faces in their midst -- Ayo Edebiri, Quinta Brunson, Donald Glover, Joel McHale, Ken Jeong, Anthony Anderson, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Allen White, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson ... and several more.

Like we said ... it's TV's biggest night in the biz, and folks made sure to leave their flags planted all over L.A. We're in the thick of awards season right now -- and it's time to shine.

Matthew Perry was top of mind during the Emmys' in memoriam as they honored fallen stars over the year -- and you could tell by the music they chose to close out the segment.

The late actor was highlighted in Monday night's show, being selected as the last person to appear on-screen during Charlie Puth's stripped-down piano performance ... who started out by singing "See You Again" to pay tribute to several television stars who've recently died.

Eventually, he segued into the "Friends" theme as they started to get to the last group of celebrities they wanted to mention ... including Len Goodman, Barbara Walters, Bob Barker, Paul Reubens, Kirstie Alley, Irene Cara, Andre Braugher and eventually ... Perry himself.

Like we said, he was literally the last celeb to appear -- and it fell right in line with CP singing the closing lines of "'Cause you're there for me too." Yep, it was emotional.

You could hear the crowd cheering here too ... a testament to how big his loss was.

Jo Koy is still taking it on the chin -- the comedian got another taste of his own medicine during Monday's Emmy Awards as Ken Jeong and Joel McHale jabbed at his bombing as host of the Golden Globes.

The "Community" costars mocked Jo for blaming his unamusing lines on his writers -- hitting him hard while they presented the award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program.

Joel joked that former doctor Ken left his medical career not for acting ... but because he'd killed a patient and was still facing a lawsuit over it.

"The instruments that almost killed that dude were the ones the nurses left in, OK?" Ken quipped back ... adding: "The ones that saved his life are the ones I left in. And besides, I only had the gig for 10 days at that point."

Ken and Joel's joke stirred up plenty of laughs from the A-list crowd ... and comes hot on the heels of Jo explaining he didn't have enough time to prepare for the GGs ... and also blasting the audience as "marshmallows" who couldn't laugh at themselves.

You'll recall ... the comedian clearly didn't get the response he was looking for when his cracks on Taylor Swift and the film "Barbie" fell flat.

It was such a fail that even his ex-Chelsea Handler couldn't resist taking a similar swipe at him at the Critics Choice Awards Sunday.

Jo might not have had enough time to prepare for his hosting gig, but he's clearly given others some fresh material for the stage!

Ariana DeBose seems to have buried the hatchet with Bella Ramsey -- who made a joke at her expense the night prior ... but all looks to be well now if this photo is any indication.

The two actresses were once again on hand Monday night for the Emmys -- this after attending the Critics Choice Awards the day prior ... and with ADB ending up as a punch line during the Best Song category, when she was labeled an actor who thinks they can sing.

Of course, it was Bella herself who delivered that brutal line -- reading off of a prompter in the distance -- and a lot of people felt Ariana had been done dirty ... herself included.

Fast-forward about 24 hours, and now you got this pic circulating online that shows Bella and Ariana hugging it out during the Emmys. There isn't too much context beyond what writer Evan Ross Katz -- who snapped this -- had to say about it in his lengthy caption.

He wrote, "Incredible! Here’s Bella Ramsey and Academy Award-winner Ariana DeBose hugging at tonight’s Emmy Awards. It’s particularly poignant because of a joke that Ramsey was fed in their teleprompter at the Critic's Choice Awards yesterday which categorized DeBose among 'Actors Who Think They Are Singers.'"

Again, we're not sure what Bella might've said to Ariana -- but it definitely feels like an apology might've been issued ... 'cause the fact is, Ariana most certainly *can* sing.

One other interesting tidbit about this whole saga ... it looks like one Hannah Waddingham -- a big-time TV actress who's done some Broadway as well -- was consoling ADB on the carpet before the show got started. There's photos of the two having a heart-to-heart outside.

The biggest night in television is back ... the Emmy Awards are getting started and celebs are showing up to the show looking their best.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards are going down right now at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles ... and some of the biggest names in Hollywood are in the house.

Selena Gomez is turning heads, and Kourtney Kardashian is making out with Travis Barker for the cameras.

"The White Lotus" is up for some awards, which means we get to see fan favorite Jennifer Coolidge strutting her stuff.

Check out the gallery ... we've also got looks at Issa Rae, Donald Glover, Jon Hamm, Jenna Ortega, Jessica Chastain, Charlie Puth, Jason Segel, Matty Matheson, Adam Brody, Laverne Cox, Bill Hader and Ken Jeong.

The list goes on ... Ali Wong, Priscilla Presley, Katherine Heigl and Dylan McDermott ... plus this year's host, Anthony Anderson.

You may recall ... the Primetime Emmys were originally supposed to happen back in September, but the award show was delayed because of last year's actors' strike in Hollywood. The strikes are over and now it's time for award season.

Pedro Pascal kept his funny feud going with Kieran Culkin at Monday's Emmy Awards, hilariously accusing the actor of beating "the s**t out of me."

"The Last of Us" star strolled out onstage with his arm in a sling at the 75th annual event to present the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series to "Succession" star Matthew Macfadyen. What happened next was all caught on video.

Standing at a microphone, Pascal told the star-studded audience in L.A.'s Peacock Theater, "Everyone’s been asking about my arm, but it’s actually my shoulder. And I think it’s time to let everyone know that Kieran Culkin beat the s— out of me.”

The whole crowd burst out in laughter, except Culkin, who sat with a serious look, while shooting a hard stare at Pascal. But, Culkin couldn't keep a straight face for very long and soon began chuckling with the other people, as the video cuts off.

Earlier this month, the two actors launched their light-hearted squabble at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.

While accepting the trophy for "Best Actor In A Drama Series" for HBO's Succession, Culkin took a playful jab at Pascal, telling him to "suck it." Pascal had been nominated in the same category for his role in another popular HBO series, "The Last of Us."

By the way, Pascal told the Associated Press at the Golden Globes that he injured his arm during a fall.

Christina Applegate got folks out of their seats at the Emmys ... and it's all because of her courage.

The "Dead to Me" star, who is dealing with her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, came out to a standing ovation as she presented the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Christina used a cane to get to the stage as the crowd rose to its feet and applauded.

Ya gotta see the video ... she got emotional about the reception she was getting, and cracked a joke, saying ... "You're totally shaming me with disability by standing up."

Remember, Christina revealed her multiple sclerosis diagnosis back in 2021, referring to it as a "strange journey."

It's great to see her involved at the Emmys ... when she was up for a SAG award last year she said it would likely be her last award show as an actress because of MS.

At that award show she used a cane with a powerful message on it ... "F U MS." While her cane Monday night wasn't fitted with any such note, Christina's presence onstage said plenty.

If her acting career is over, as Christina's predicted, she could certainly still do award show presenting --- she had the Emmys crowd wrapped around her finger.

Great start to the week at TMZ -- we hit the ground running with some fiery topics touching on everything from Taylor Swift to Lindsay Lohan ... and you can catch up right now!

Right off the bat, we dove into the subject of T-Swift and the possibility of her getting engaged to Travis Kelce -- something that's been floated as a very realistic possibility by others in recent days ... but which we're hearing probably won't happen anytime soon.

On 'TMZ Live' ... we brought on a special guest to discuss exactly that, talking to a Forbes reporter who knows all things Taylor Swift ... and who dished his thoughts on why he thinks she can actually have it all, assuming she does settle down (for real) in the near future.

It made for a fascinating convo ... and Swifities just might wanna hear our take on it.

Jumping over to 'TMZ on TV' ... we actually chatted about something we haven't discussed since the mid-2000s -- namely, the infamous LiLo "fire crotch" moment we got on video.

If you don't recall ... she got made fun of pretty nastily by one of Paris Hilton's friends at the time -- and now, Tina Fey thought it'd be good to drop in this old classic into her new 'Mean Girls' reboot ... which, BTW, has a Lindsay cameo in it! Safe to say, LL wasn't happy.

Last but not least, 'TMZ Sports' ... where Michael Babcock and Mojo chopped it up after the first week of NFL playoffs -- including Jared Goff's big win -- on and off the field.

Chelsea Handler couldn't resist taking a dig at her ex-boyfriend Jo Koy during Sunday's Critics Choice Awards in L.A. for his much-criticized Golden Globes performance.

Chelsea was hosting the CCA event onstage at the Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar last evening when she gave Jo a shot as she served up jokes during her opening monologue.

The comedian set it up like this ... "Unfortunately, Martin Scorsese isn’t here tonight, but that’s not going to stop me from letting everyone in this room know that I would toss him around like a little Italian meatball." The crowd chuckled.

Then Chelsea hit the punch line ... "Thank you for laughing at that. My writers wrote it."

Ouch, Jo! That must have hurt, especially from an ex! Jo, as you know, got roasted in the press and on social media after his jokes fell flat as host of the Golden Globe Awards earlier this month.

Jo's wisecracks about the film, "Barbie," were met with groans and, when he poked fun at Taylor Swift, she shot him an icy look.

Sensing he was going down in flames, Jo tried to blame his writers for his bad jokes, telling the GG audience, “Some [jokes] I wrote, some other people wrote. Yes, I got the gig 10 days ago! You want a perfect monologue? Yo, shut up. You’re kidding me, right?”

He added, “Slow down, I wrote some of these and they are the ones you are laughing at.”

Last week, Jo tried to clean up his remarks during an LA Times interview, admitting it was a "rookie move" to fault his writers.

Now we'll have to see if Jo responds to Chelsea's jab.

Sarah Snook is flying high these days as an awards darling — but she’s had to take some slings and arrows along by the way … according to the woman herself.

The actress -- who just won her second GG as Siobhan Roy in "Succession" --revealed in a new interview with The Times a couple times where she was berated for her appearance ... by other powerful industry pros.

As SS tells it, she landed a role early in her career ... an exciting moment for a struggling young actress that quickly took a turn when a casting director said straight to her face they didn't want to hire her because she was a "nobody."

The casting director explained she only got the job because the writer and director liked her, and she needed to change nearly everything about her appearance ... from whitening her teeth and darkening her hair to losing weight.

A terrible moment that didn't exist in a vacuum ... Snook says after she took the part, agreeing to intense demands regarding appearance she decided to have "the tiniest bit of chocolate cake" -- and all hell broke loose.

A producer started telling her off in front of the cast and crew, she explains, "And all the while I am dying inside. The infantilizing of women, to not be able to make their own decisions, why would we do that to women?”

These sorts of comments and criticisms have been hurled at actors for years ... in 2017 Carey Mulligan talked about feeling "belittled" on film sets while Rose McGowan said she was told she'd only get parts if men found her attractive the following year.

Bottom line ... this sort of bullying isn't new to Hollywood by any means -- and it just makes Snook's recent Golden Globes win even that more impressive.

Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie Norton on "The Honeymooners," has died ... TMZ has learned.

Her son tells TMZ ... Joyce passed Saturday at her home in New York City. We're told she died in her sleep. She had been suffering from the effects of old age ... unable to walk. She was in hospice care at the time of her death.

Joyce played the wife of Ed Norton, played by Art Carney. They were the best friends and neighbors of Ralph Kramden, who was played by Jackie Gleason, and Audrey Meadows, who played the long-suffering Alice. Ralph, a bus driver, would often get angry at his wife and say, "To the moon, Alice," with fists clenched. That would obviously never be on TV today.

"The Honeymooners" is considered one of the great comedies of all time. The crazy thing ... they only shot 39 episodes, but it endures to this very day.

The show debuted on CBS in 1955. It was on only one season. It was a big hit ... it was the number 2 show, but dropped to 19 and was cancelled.

Joyce snagged the role after Jackie saw her on a chewing gum commercial.

There was a reboot and other projects bringing characters from the show back, but the OG is what everyone remembers.

Joyce was the last surviving member of the main cast.

She leaves behind her son, Randy. He says his mother will be cremated. He asks in lieu of flowers donations be sent to the Entertainment Community Fund.

Jeremy Allen White is all loved up again, but that didn't stop him from enjoying a night out at an L.A. bar that's known as being LGBTQ-friendly.

JAW hit up Honey's in the Los Feliz area of L.A. Saturday at around 10:30 PM. All good fun, for sure.

Jeremy is having a moment in time. He just won the Golden Globe for Best Performance by a Male Actor for "The Bear." He also snagged a gig as the underwear model for Calvin Klein.

He's currently in a relationship with singer Rosalía, and they've been pretty public about their romance ... lots of PDA.

Jeremy and his wife, Addison Timlin, split last May and are both active in co-parenting their 2 kids.

Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell's memory is living on -- especially through her stunning wedding pictures from March 2023.

We've got the snaps ... Mama June's daughter looks glowing in bridal white from her intimate wedding to Eldridge Toney in Wilkinson County, Georgia ... shortly after her stage 4 adrenal carcinoma diagnosis.

She's in a plunging white gown, Eldridge wears a white shirt and trousers ... with the bridesmaids, aka Chickadee's sisters, her 2 daughters, and Mama J, smiling big for snaps.

TMZ broke the story, the two obtained a marriage certificate ... which shows the husband of Anna's sister Pumpkin was the officiant during the day.

Filming for "Mama June: From Not to Hot" was also happening ... with camera crew present.

Anna, who was undergoing chemotherapy at the time, couldn't have looked more radiant during the ceremony.

TMZ has posted a lot of stories this week -- but some stood out to us on the TV side of things -- and we thought we'd let people have a second look at a few of our biggest topics.

One of the buzzier things we tackled was the Zendaya/Tom Holland breakup rumors that were swirling for a couple weeks -- when she unfollowed literally everybody on her Instagram account ... including her British boyfriend, who was still following her.

On "TMZ Live," we dove right into this ... piecing together all the clues/red flags that had people worried that Zen and Tom might, perhaps, be over and done with. TH himself squashed it all on Friday, but there was an interesting maze of intel leading up to that.

Anyway ... on "TMZ on TV' side, we also talked Kevin Hart and his renewed disavowal of ever wanting to host the Oscars -- this after infamously missing out a few years ago.

He was defending Jo Koy's Globes job ... but it felt like he might still have some sour grapes about the past -- and our office had a good time debating how sincere KH really is.

Finally on the "TMZ Sports" side ... we discussed this proposed jersey ban as Matthew Stafford heads back to Detroit to take on the Lions -- this as the new QB of the Los Angeles Rams.

Alec Musser -- famous from 'All My Children' -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The actor's fiancée, Paige Press, tells us Musser passed away Friday night at his home in Del Mar, CA. His uncle, Robert, confirmed his nephew's death to us as well ... but neither he nor Press would elaborate on the circumstances or exact cause.

Musser will best be remembered for playing Del Henry on the beloved, long-running soap opera between 2005 and 2007 ... during which he appeared in a total of 43 episodes.

Other films/TV shows he starred in include ... 'Grown Ups,' 'Rita Rocks,' 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Road to the Altar.' He only had 6 acting credits -- but Musser was known in showbiz outside of his on-camera work ... namely, through is fitness modeling career.

He had graced the covers of several magazines -- including Men's Health, Men's Workout, Exercise Health and others. The guy was a bodybuilder, and had a great physique.

AM might not have acted in H'wood lately, but he was still a big presence on social media -- highlighting his continued health/fitness journey, his active lifestyle and even pics with loved ones. On its face, nothing seemed to be amiss ... making his passing all the more shocking.

Musser was only 50 years old.

Soap star Bill Hayes – best known for his role opposite his real-life wife, Susan, on "Days of Our Lives" – has died.

Hayes passed away Friday in Los Angeles, his rep confirmed to TMZ, although his cause of death was not disclosed.

In 1970, Hayes landed the part of lounge singing scam artist Doug Williams on NBC's "Days of Our Lives." Actress Susan Seaforth had already been hired for the soap opera, playing the pampered heiress Julie Olsen Banning Anderson Williams.

Hayes and Seaforth hit it off, getting married four years later on October 12, 1974. The actors also tied the knot on the show – three separate times in fact! -- beginning in October 1976.

During their first nuptials on set, the couple read their vows from their real wedding.

In 1976, they became the only daytime drama stars to be featured on the cover of Time magazine for an article titled, “Soap Operas: Sex and Suffering in the Afternoon.”

But, in 1984, the two clashed with producers over storylines, resulting in the pairing down of their popular roles.

Yet, Hayes and Seaforth still appeared on "Days Of Our Lives" even after the show crossed over to the Peacock network in 2022.

Before his legendary soap gig, Hayes was a singer who wrote the 1955 song, "The Ballad of Davy Crocket," which rocketed to Number 1 on the U.S. charts.

He was also a regular personality on Sid Caesar's iconic TV variety series, "Your Show of Shows."

Bill was 98.
