CBS is still catching heat for sacking Stephen Colbert and scrapping "The Late Show" ... but Paul Heyman says he knows how to help them save face -- hire him to host the show!!!

Adam Glyn caught up with the WWE Hall of Famer in NYC on Wednesday ... and immediately went in on the broadcast network, saying it was "the dumbest move CBS has ever made."

"Because they fired Stephen Colbert and they canceled the show," PH said. "CBS should have kept the show, renamed The Late Show starring Paul Heyman."

Justin Trudeau was totally vibing as he heard Katy Perry "Roar" at Wednesday's "Lifetimes" tour!

Several videos posted by fellow concertgoers show the former Canadian Prime Minister with a cautious grin on his face ... swaying and completely locked in on KP as she belted out her biggest hits.

We even caught him in a full-teeth smile as he sang along to "Roar" ... while the pop star flew over him in her oversized mechanical butterfly -- yes, the one that nearly threw her into the crowd a few weeks ago.

Surveillance video taken from inside Jeffrey Epstein's NYC prison has sparked a ton of new questions instead of answers ... like, what in the world is that orange blob heading toward the notorious pedophile's jail cell???

The video is already under intense scrutiny for allegedly being edited ... and CBS News launched a full investigation into the footage -- which includes a shadowy shape on the right side of the screen that appears at 10:39 PM.

Watch the vid ... there's a flash of orange that just peeks out from around the corner of the wall -- before disappearing once again.

Sophie Cunningham was as unfiltered as it gets in her defense of Caitlin Clark ... claiming anyone who doesn't think her Indiana Fever teammate is the face of the WNBA is "dumb as f***."

Cunningham -- known for her passionate defense of Clark on the court -- proved she's just as loyal off it in her new podcast, "Show Me Something," this week ... explaining to her cohost and Bravo star West Wilson why she gets so worked up over the debate surrounding the superstar's impact on the W.

The 28-year-old made her stance crystal clear -- "It pisses me off when people are like, 'She’s not the face of the league.' What? ... When people try to argue that she’s not the face of our league or that our league would be where we’re at without her — you’re dumb as s***, you're literally dumb as f***."

Alec Baldwin’s lawsuit against New Mexico prosecutors may have been tossed, but hey, now he’s got more time to focus on the real priority -- his wife, Hilaria Baldwin!

What made it even better? She was dancing to Celine Dion’s "The Power of Love," really leaning into those lyrics, "I'm your lady and you are my man," as she practically ordered him to go to town on her feet.

Conor McGregor has lost his appeal in his civil sexual assault case.

A Court of Appeal in Dublin, Ireland, rejected the UFC superstar's appeal on Thursday morning ... with a three-judge panel reportedly dismissing his claim "in its entirety."

Shannon Sharpe opened up Wednesday evening on his ESPN ousting ... and he sure didn't sound like a guy who's all that torn up over the split.

The NFL legend said on his "Nightcap" podcast he's "at peace with" the network's decision to give him the axe following his settlement with his rape accuser ... explaining, "They did what they felt they needed to do."

He did, though, say he wished ESPN had waited until next week to leak the news -- so his brother, Sterling, could get all of the attention this weekend for his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Diddy wants his conviction on 2 counts of the Mann Act overturned, and if not, he's demanding a whole new trial on those charges ... according to new docs filed late Wednesday night.

It's pretty stunning, but in the docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy and his defense team make the case for Judge Arun Subramanian changing the Mann Act conviction to an acquittal. Here's why ... the Mann Act involves transporting someone across state lines for the purpose of sex.

But, Diddy's team says they believe he's the only person ever convicted under this statute who did not make money off prostitution, did not have sex with an alleged prostitute and did not arrange the prostitute's transportation.

In a recent interview with Guitar World, Wylde says he got a text from Ozzy shortly after  Black Sabbath's final concert in Birmingham, England. The backstage dressing room was packed, so he decided to give Ozzy some space -- assuming he'd see him soon.

The two never ended up seeing each other again ... with Ozzy's last message to Zakk reading, "Zakky, sorry, it was like a madhouse back there. I didn’t see you."

Dr. Bennet Omalu, the physician credited with discovering CTE, is breaking down claims made by the mass shooter in NYC ... after the killer claimed he had the neurodegenerative disease after playing high school football.

"You can develop CTE from playing football at all levels. The greater the number of years you play, the greater the cumulative risk exposure. CTE has been diagnosed in people who played football at all levels. However, playing high-school football does not automatically equate to CTE," Dr. Omalu told TMZ Sports on Tuesday.

For those unfamiliar with the name, Omalu was at the forefront of bringing CTE to the public's awareness, a movement that even made its way to Hollywood. Will Smith played the forensic pathologist in the film "Concussion."
