The Doomsday Clock hit another dreaded milestone, with scientists setting the clock just 85 seconds to midnight ... the closest we've ever been to annihilation.

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists announced Tuesday the clock has now been placed at 85 seconds to midnight ... four seconds closer to the top of the clock than they set it last year.

Watch the video ... President Alexandra Bell of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists said at a news conference that nuclear weapons, climate change and disruptive technologies -- possibly referring to artificial intelligence -- have put the world closer to catastrophic failure than ever before. The clock is scientists' visual representation of how close the world is to potential global destruction.

Attorney and cohost of "The MeidasTouch" podcast Ben Meiselas is weighing in on a question on the back of all of our minds ahead of Super Bowl LX ... will ICE enter the stadium and potentially make the event about them?

Ben -- who represented former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick -- stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday, and he started by sharing his hopes for the big day, saying ... "I hope we don't have masked agents running around in California and running around the Super Bowl ... I certainly hope that."

But the reality could be different.

Ben said, "I know by now -- and I think the American people should realize by now -- that kind of blind hope that this regime, as I call it, will do the right thing ... I'm not there yet."

Spencer Pratt started working on his reputation as a villain long before he became one on reality TV ... he's admitted he once sold snaps of a teenage Mary-Kate Olsen partying with her then-boyfriend, Max Winkler, for a whopping $50,000!

Spencer spilled the deets in his brand new memoir "The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain" ... and he's saying he doesn't regret it a single bit.

Here's the deal ... he writes his pal Max -- the son of actor Henry Winkler -- had just gone through a split with Mary-Kate ... but still had a "shrine" of photos with her in his room. He describes the images as "young love documented in European hotels, Hollywood parties, stolen moments."

Stephen Colbert has finally locked in the end of "The Late Show" ... with the curtain set to fall for good on May 21, closing out a CBS late-night run that’s lasted more than 30 years.

Stephen broke the news during a taping of "Late Night With Seth Meyers" on Monday ... officially putting a date on the farewell that’s been looming since last summer.

Remember, CBS and parent company Paramount Global announced plans to cancel the show back in July, blaming straight-up financial reasons.

A viral video circulating online suggests late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had a twisted relationship with JonBenét Ramsey ... but her father, John Ramsey, says it's just another example of A.I. slop.

Here's the deal ... TikTok is going wild over a viral post that claims JonBenét is in the Epstein Files. The video claims JonBenét is the little girl sitting on Epstein's shoulders in a picture framed and hung on a wall.

The photo in question is redacted in the Epstein Files, and the DOJ says it's from Epstein's pedo lair in New York City ... but a video appears to show a photo in a hallway of a girl who bears a striking resemblance to JonBenét Ramsey.

Hudson Williams spends a substantial amount of time sans clothes in HBO's "Heated Rivalry" ... so who better to give the "Shut Up Evan" podcast step-by-step instructions for how to put on a cock sock?

This interview did not disappoint ... Hudson starts with the description -- "It's like a ballet slipper meets a Crown Royal bag." Got it. Now for the technique ...

Hudson admitted he learned everything he knows from costar Connor Storrie. While Hudson struggled to figure out the modesty cover, Connor cracked it almost immediately.

So, first things first ... you gotta squat!

There’s a troubling update on Quinton Aaron’s health after his recent hospitalization ... TMZ has learned doctors have found a rare cyst on his spine.

Family sources tell TMZ the cyst was discovered after a series of tests, and doctors are now running more exams to determine whether it’s benign.

We’re told back surgery is now on the table ... and if that happens, the 40-year-old actor will face extensive physical therapy and could be confined to a wheelchair for some time.

The mayor of a small town in the Philippines was attacked by a rocket-propelled grenade in an apparent assassination attempt and lived to tell the tale ... and it looks like his armored car saved his life.

Ya gotta see this crazy footage out of Shariff Aguak in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao ... a white van stops on the side of the road, two men hop out with a rocket launcher and fire a grenade at the mayor's Toyota Land Cruiser.

The RPG explodes under the armored car, and a fireball leads to a huge cloud of smoke ... but the Toyota is able to drive away to safety!!!

YouTube star Adam the Woo died from natural causes, TMZ has learned.

A rep for Florida's Orange County Medical Examiner tells TMZ ... Adam died of "atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease with obesity."

Adam's dad, Jim Williams, reached out to fans in a Facebook post Monday, writing, "Our beloved Son . . . your beloved friend . . . died, in essence, of a heart attack in his sleep from health issues he probably never knew he had."

He continued ... "Now, we can all stop guessing. Be grateful the Lord allowed him to die at home and not in a foreign country. Be grateful he was found by friends (as hard as that was) and not some nameless stranger."

As we reported, Adam died December 22. Deputies initially went to his Orlando, Florida home for a welfare check, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet must've packed light for their trip to Los Cabos, because they went shopping for some sexy swimwear ... and it's all on video.

Check out this viral footage showing Kylie and Timothée browsing around a clothing shop in Mexico this weekend ... they go straight for the bikini section, and TC helps KJ pick out the perfect piece.

We saw Timothée wearing the same hat around a Cabo marina, and we've seen Kylie rocking a skimpy black swim top at their swanky, oceanfront resort ... but it's unclear if Kylie purchased that bikini on this shopping excursion.

Move over EDC, move over Insomniac, because we have a new EDM festival in town ... "TMZ After Dark!"

Friday night was hosted by pop-alt singer Nikki Paige and DJ'ed by the enigmatic DJ Eveready, who quite literally turned the bus into a music festival on wheels. Nikki performed her original music while everyone got TURNT.

Dare we say, we had our first-ever mosh pit on the TMZ bus? And just looking at a clip of everyone vibing makes you wonder: Is "TMZ After Dark" bringing L.A. nightlife back?!

People were dressed like they were going to a music festival like Coachella or something, even having a raver-esque dance party outside the bus!

Djimon Hounsou's baby mama, Ri'za Marie Simpson, was arrested for alleged assault earlier this month ... but Ri'za just told a judge she's the one who needs protection from Djimon.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Ri'za says she was wrongfully arrested and has suffered financial abuse and an attempted illegal eviction at the hand of Djimon.

Ri'za also claims Djimon slammed a vehicle door on her left side, screamed in her face and called her names during an incident in December ... and says there was a separate incident in October when Djimon got in her face in front of their children. Ri'za claims Djimon began to "come at" her, yelling and standing nose-to-nose with her in the heated exchange.

The judge ended up granting the temporary protective order, which requires Djimon to not have any contact with Ri'za and stay 200 yards from Ri'za and the children ... at least until a hearing in early February.

Christian Combs isn't taking 50 Cent's recent online digs lying down ... he's hitting back at the "senior citizen" by bringing up his baby mama!

Here's the deal ... 50 Cent shared a clip of Christian trying to get a "Bad Boy" chant started at a recent concert -- which went over like a lead balloon and made for a hilariously awkward moment.

50 captioned the post, "Damn 👀his timing was just a little off. 😳" ... which got fans cackling online. Christian, however, wasn't snickering -- he was crafting his own roast online.
