Odell Beckham Jr. is rallying behind Chris Brown, who's been sitting in a UK jail cell since Thursday, taking to social media with a message of support -- "Free Breeeezyyy!"

Brown, 36, was locked up last week for an alleged incident going back to 2023 ... when the Grammy Award-winning performer allegedly smashed a liquor bottle over a music producer's head.

CB was charged with one count of grievous bodily harm ... and will remain in custody until his first appearance at London's Southwark Crown Court on June 13.

Breezy fans have been outraged over the idea of Chris sitting behind bars ... and Beckham is right there with 'em.

Today is the seventh day of testimony in Diddy's federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in New York City ... David James, a former personal assistant to the rap mogul, is still on the witness stand -- and he testified to what he described as "Diddy-bopping" ... which he described as taking drugs and drinking Ciroc vodka, Diddy's own brand.

Minutes into the proceeding, David James was asked by the prosecution if he'd ever taken Ecstasy. James replied ... "Yes. I was drinking Ciroc, I took Ecstasy, I was 'Diddy-bopping.'" He then clarifies -- "I was vibing."

James testified he was recorded by a videographer who filmed the parties. James said Diddy asked him ... "Hey Playboy, was that you dancing around at the party?" When James said it was, he testifies Diddy said he was going to keep the video in case he ever needed it ... the prosecutor asked him what that meant -- James said "That I'd be embarrassed."

James was asked by the prosecution if he had ever observed physical violence between Diddy and his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura ... James said he had not.

WWE Superstar Zoey Stark left "Raw" on Monday night in absolute agony ... after she sustained a devastating leg injury during a match.

The gruesome scene unfolded out at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina ... when Stark was battling against Rhea Ripley and Kairi Sane in a Money in the Bank qualifier.

The trio put on a show for the crowd -- but things took an awful turn when Stark jumped from a top rope and landed awkwardly on her right leg.

Cher is using her starpower for the good of Los Angeles' beloved zoo elephants Tina and Billy again ... signing a letter sent to Mayor Karen Bass to demand the beloved creatures be transferred from the L.A. Zoo to a sanctuary -- and not to the Tulsa, Oklahoma zoo as planned.

Cher appears on the list signed by several celebs -- such as Alicia Silverstone, Diane Warren, Katherine Heigl, Nicola Peltz Beckham and Justin Theroux -- that was delivered to L.A.'s mayor Monday to advocate for the health and well-being of the zoo's longtime resident elephants.

The letter argues the arranged transfer of Billy and Tina to Tulsa to join five other Asian elephants will only worsen their suffering, and that they deserve to be released to a proper elephant sanctuary so they can "live their twilight years with liberty and dignity."

A Hollywood actor -- who scored roles in 'NYPD Blue' and 'CSI Miami' -- believes his daughter did not commit suicide and died under suspicious circumstances ... and now he's suing her estranged boyfriend for wrongful death.

Dwayne Adway filed his lawsuit Monday in L.A. County Superior Court against Makar Kirikov, accusing him of being involved in the death of his daughter, Daelena Mackay.

In the suit, Adway says Daelena and Kirikov lived together for about a year in an L.A. apartment and, during that time, Daelena "experienced multiple incidents of domestic violence" at the hands of Kirikov.

5/22/25 6:20 PM PT -- In an earlier version of this story -- and others on TMZ.com -- we incorrectly identified one of the photos of the alleged sex workers as "Jules." The man prosecutors labeled "Exhibit 2A-628" is not Jules, the man Cassie testified was with Diddy and her at the L.A. Intercontinental Hotel in March 2016.

While the government says the man displayed in court as "Exhibit 2A-628" was an "escort" hired to hook up with Cassie and Diddy, he is NOT the one who was with them at the Intercontinental.

He is a former star of the Showtime series, "Gigolos," named Vin Armani, and he tells us ... "I have proof that I could not possibly have been in Los Angeles on the day this Jules person (someone who is absolutely and categorically not me) supposedly was. Had any lawyer or authority ever contacted me, it would have been immediately obvious to them that any claim that I was present at the incident in question is completely false."

Further, Vin denies any insinuation he was a "sex worker," instead he says ... "I was the star of a TV show for 6 seasons and, during that time, was a fixture in the nightlife of Las Vegas. I was a celebrity and, as a result, hung out with literally hundreds of celebrities on a regular basis. I have never had an interaction with Diddy and/or Cassie that included (or where I witnessed) violence, illegal drugs, contracting for sexual services/acts (prostitution), or the transportation of any person from anywhere to anywhere whatsoever. So, just as with the hundreds of interactions I have had with celebrities (and the thousands of interactions I have had with other people in my life), I have no knowledge of any interaction that would be pertinent in any way to a criminal case of any kind. Had any attorney or authority ever contacted me, this fact would have been plain for them to see."

Diddy's alleged sex workers have finally been unmasked as Week 2 of testimony gets underway in the music mogul's federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial in NYC.

On Monday, prosecutors released a document dump of exhibits entered into trial evidence, dropping an avalanche of photos and other information. Some of the pics showed the faces of the sex workers Diddy allegedly hired to be transported across state lines for "freak-offs" with his significant others, including Cassie.

The feds define a freak-off as Diddy, a girlfriend and a male sex worker engaging in marathon sex sessions that were often recorded by the Bad Boy Records CEO inside hotel rooms. Prosecutors say Diddy forced or coerced his girlfriends into participating in the freak-offs.

The son of late "Saturday Night Live" music sketch producer Hal Willner has been charged with attempted murder after he violently slashed three individuals outside a New York City bar.

20-year-old Arlo Willner -- whose mother is an Emmy-winning producer Sheila Rogers, who also worked on 'SNL' -- committed the crime Saturday night at 3:30 AM, according to a criminal complaint obtained by TMZ. Police say he attacked the three individuals after he asked to buy cocaine and was told, "this was not the place for that."

He slit one person's neck, "causing a large and deep laceration," stabbed one individual in the shoulder and the third in the abdomen, per the complaint. All three were wounded but survived the attack.

TMZ Sports caught up with Jason Dantona to get his reaction to the viral moment from the final game of the Subway series ... and he told us he initially thought he was getting trolled when he was first notified of KAT's wardrobe choice.

Megan Thee Stallion is fighting back at Tory Lanez fans who still don't believe he shot her, despite what a jury in Los Angeles ruled ... and she's got some choice words for him too.

Megan unloaded on Tory in a social media rant Monday, posting on TikTok ... "At what point are yall gonna stop making me have to re live being shot BY TORY !? At what point are Tory and yall FANS gonna stop lying ? Like how much is the check to keep harassing me? Why is this happening EVERY DAY?"

Tory's case has been back in the spotlight after his recent prison stabbing ... with his lawyers claiming Megan's ex-BFF Kelsey Harris was the real shooter.

The sixth day of witness testimony in the Diddy trial is in the books and while there was some more interesting tidbits from celebs, friends and staffers ... it feels like prosecutors are all over the map.

Dawn testified Diddy made threats about having people killed if they didn't listen to him ... and she also told the jury she saw Diddy with guns and drugs, though the defense got her to admit she never saw Diddy use a gun or pay for the substances.
