Kim Kardashian is showing off her kiddo Saint -- but in a toothy sort of way ... 'cause his little chompers are front and center for everyone to see!

The reality star posted an Instagram photo Sunday that showed her alongside 9-year-old Saint, who was flashing a bloody smile with one of his front teeth about to fall out, and another one missing.

Pretty gnarly, but Kim made light of it all with a cute caption ... “The tooth fairy has been good to us 🦷🧚💸💎."

Diddy's ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh -- Victim No. 3 in the federal indictment who was a no-show in court after prosecutors subpoenaed her -- just went to bat for him in his bid to get out of jail pending sentencing.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Gina pens a letter to the judge in Diddy's criminal case ... supporting Diddy's motion for bail.

Gina says she's known Diddy for years and that she's mostly seen him as a father, family man and business man ... not a criminal.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is firing back at federal prosecutors who want to keep him locked up at least another two months ... he says they're hellbent on punishing him for hiring adult male prostitutes and paying them handsomely to bang his girlfriends.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy's legal team rips the feds ... claiming prosecutors are unfairly targeting him as they have throughout a "misplaced investigation"

Diddy's camp comes out firing ... "Impervious to the jury’s verdict, the government proceeds as though Combs was not acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, along with all the racketeering acts with which he was charged and found not guilty."

Bobby V got a taste of the best party in Hollywood ... hitting up the TMZ After Dark Tour ... and it sounds like he was blown away.

President Donald Trump is lashing out at Charlamagne tha God after the radio host appeared on Lara Trump's show and suggested the Jeffrey Epstein scandal could weaken MAGA's grip on the GOP.

"The Breakfast Club" host joined Lara’s Fox News show Saturday, telling the president's daughter in law he believes traditional conservatives are poised to reclaim the Republican Party -- using the Epstein controversy as political leverage.

"There's a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people are not paying attention to," Charlamagne said. "I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back."

Soulja Boy was arrested after police say they found a firearm during a traffic stop … TMZ has confirmed.

Law enforcement sources tell us the rapper was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over around 2:30 AM Sunday in Los Angeles. During the stop, officers spotted a firearm in the car, and SB was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

It's currently unclear what prompted the traffic stop in the first place and details about the firearm or whether anyone else was involved remain unclear as well.

Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar are both up for an Emmy following their respective music performances during the 2024-25 NFL season ... and TMZ Sports asked Ray-Ray McCloud who he would have his vote for the prestigious award -- and he said he has to give the nod to K. Dot!!

We gave the hard-hitting question to McCloud when we linked up with the wide receiver/music producer ... and he said Kendrick's Super Bowl halftime show edges out Beyoncé's Christmas performance.

"Beyoncé's was hard," he said. "You can't knock Beyoncé. She's one of the best performers ever. But Kendrick, the moment, the whole setup, the aesthetic, all of it man."

Cardi B was the undisputed queen of SummerSlam 2025 -- hyping up the crowd as host and serving looks while turning the arena into her own personal runway.

Catch this clip -- Cardi was making sure all eyes were on her before the smackdowns even started Saturday... rocking a wild, feathery fit that looked like she was ready to take flight straight outta MetLife Stadium.

It wasn’t just glitz and glam -- there was some BTS action, with Triple H giving Cardi a pre-show pep talk backstage, with the moment ending with a big ol' hug.

Johnny Manziel is joining the drama between fellow former quarterback Cam Newton and rapper and podcast host, Gillie Da Kid ... even taking a swipe at Gillie with a threat of physical violence!

This is the sitch -- Gillie and the former Panthers star have been trading barbs over Cam omitting Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts from his lineup of the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL. Gillie is a major Birds fan ... so he was not happy.

You'll see in the social media clip the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcaster held up a Super Bowl trophy and rubbed it in Cam's face that he never earned one -- and the jab didn't sit well with Johnny.

Donald Trump is addressing whether he will pardon Diddy and, while he didn't seem very open to the idea ... he didn't completely shut the door either.

47 sat down for an interview Friday with Newsmax's Rob Finnerty on his show, "Finnerty," and when their convo turned to Diddy ... things got very interesting.

Finnerty asked Trump if he would pardon Diddy, who was recently found guilty on two counts of the Mann Act, which is transporting someone across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. At his federal trial, Diddy was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Mariah The Scientist is an R&B wizard at the top of her game in her music career and love life ... she held Young Thug down during Georgia's wasteful RICO trial and they're currently having a ball!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Mariah as she was headed to link up with fellow R&B starlet Kali Uchis to shoot content for their new collab "Is It a Crime" ... which, as you can see below, came out gr-r-reat!!!

Mariah's hoping the song catches on like her last hit "Burning Blue," which was just certified Gold -- putting her "Hearts Sold Separately" album in a great position ahead of its Aug. 22 release date.

These sexy ladies are feeling feline fierce for Frisky Friday, but can you scratch off the catsuit and sniff out the celeb in question?

From singers to reality TV stars, actresses and athletes ... roll through stylish singers like Beyonce and Katy Perry -- or dare we say, "Kitty" Perry -- who are pawsitively purrrfect onstage, but can you guess their sassy looks on the streets?

And keep an eye out for Kim Kardashian, Serena Williams and more A-listers ... All they're missin' is their whiskers 😜!

Cardi B and Rah Ali have two different accounts of how their recent run-in went down at the Cannes airport -- but one thing is agreed upon is that there definitely was a clash!!!

The bombshell news came courtesy of Rah spilling the beans to guest host Ray Daniels on her "Onsited" podcast Thursday -- much to Cardi's chagrin, who called Rah a clout-chaser for making their latest encounter known in the first place.

Both ex-"Love & Hip Hop: New York" stars agree that an argument immediately broke out at the French airport ... Rah maintains she remained calm as Cardi "embarrassed Black people" while telling her she was genuinely surprised at Cardi's behavior as a mother-of-three.

Chris Brown is caving in to fan complaints about his giant statue tour props blocking their views on his 'Breezy XX' tour ... but not without a warning -- they better start using their magic words, or else!!!

TikTok is currently livid, with dozens of Breezy fans raging they didn't get their money's worth because the statues were blocking BOTH their view of him and of the stage.

Chris Brown's tours are renowned for unique interactions ... but he agrees the statues missed the mark this time around, even acknowledging he's seen the social media chatter.

Federal prosecutors in the Diddy case are hitting back at the music mogul -- calling BS on him downplaying his convictions for transporting male escorts across state lines, and say there's legal precedent for the judge to deny him bail.

In court docs filed Thursday -- obtained by TMZ -- prosecutors laid out their reasons for why Diddy should remain behind bars as he awaits his sentencing, following his conviction on 2 counts of violating the Mann Act. As you know, Diddy was acquitted of the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

On Wednesday, Diddy filed docs asking Judge Arun Subramanian to overturn his Mann Act conviction, arguing the crime involves the transport of people across state lines for the purposes of sex ... which Diddy denies doing.
