Taylor Swift was coolin' out in frigid NYC Friday night with her parents, Scott and Andrea, and a friend -- after she was dragged into the messy legal battle between her close pal Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

The Grammy-winning singer hit the streets of Manhattan with her buddy Ashley Avignone, and both ladies looked chic in their fancy outfits.

Check out photos ... Taylor was dressed in a black jacket, mini skirt and knee-high boots ... with her pal trailing right behind her.

Kim Kardashian sounds like she's taken ... because she's teasing a new boo in the new trailer for her family's reality show.

Kim confesses, "I had the intention of staying single. I was fully lying to you guys."

Hulu's new "Kardashians" trailer for the upcoming season six strongly hints at a new man in Kim's life. She looks into the camera and says, "Me not dating and wanting love and attention? I don't think you know me."

The Buffalo Bills' best player this weekend might just be Mother Nature -- because according to Andre Reed, the freezing temps could help his former team tremendously against the Ravens.

The massive playoff matchup will go down on Sunday at Orchard Park -- where weather experts are predicting temperatures to be in the teens.

While both squads are relatively familiar with that kind of chill -- Reed told TMZ Sports on Friday he thinks it'll benefit Buffalo far more.

Forget Rookie of the Year, Joe Theismann tells TMZ Sports Jayden Daniels might just be the NFL's MVP!!

The former Washington quarterback shoveled praise on the Commanders' current signal-caller during a sit-down with us this week ... saying the 22-year-old truly should be in consideration for the league's highest honor.

"Obviously I think he's a runaway choice for Rookie of the Year," Joe told us, "but I keep saying, 'Why not let him be considered for an MVP as well?' He's had that kind of year."

Calvin Johnson -- a guy who knows a thing or two about great wide receiver play -- is loving what Amon-Ra St Brown's doing this year ... telling TMZ Sports the Lions wideout is helping keep the NFC's top seed on track!

We caught up with the legendary Detroit receiver ahead of his former team's Divisional Round matchup against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders ... and he gushed over ASB.

He told us that while Dan Campbell deserves a whole lot of credit for getting things going in the Motor City ... it's St. Brown who's carried over the head coach's message onto the field.

Timothée Chalamet and Edward Norton do as the Romans do ... and that means cheering on some of the top soccer teams in Italy.

The actors took a break from their press tour for their new Bob Dylan biopic to take in a little Serie A soccer Friday in Rome.

Timothée and Edward had great seats to watch AS Roma take Genoa CFC ... and Chalamet was pretty animated, jumping out of his seat and cheering.

Chrishell Stause's disdain for 'Traitors' costar Tom Sandoval is not just for the cameras ... telling us their beef is putting the real in reality TV.

We caught up with the "Selling Sunset" star at LAX, where she spilled all on filming season 3 of the Peacock competition series ... including her callout of the "Vanderpump Rules" alum early on in the season.

As she puts it ... Tom is not her "favorite," which is the nice-girl way of saying she pretty much hates the guy.

As often as they drive their fans to drink, you'd think the Colorado Rockies would know how to pour a frickin' beer ... but, alas, they don't!

The organization intended to have some fun on social media on Friday, pouring an ice-cold Coors Light into a (previously used?) beer mug ... but their technique left a lot to be desired (it was all foam!!!).

Fans weren't shy about speaking up, quickly flaming the Rockies, who play at Coors Field, in the X comment section over their inability to pour the perfect brewski.

A.J. Brown's gone from reading Jim Murphy's words to hearing them in person ... the Philadelphia Eagles superstar just had a face-to-face meeting with his favorite author!!

The get-together happened on Friday at the Eagles' NovaCare Complex -- less than a week after Brown sent the internet into a tizzy for reading Murphy's "Inner Excellence" on the bench of Philadelphia's 22-10 playoff win over Green Bay.

Murphy was reportedly in the building for an interview about Brown's now-viral moment ... and at least one journalist captured them chopping it up in a hallway.

Jake Paul's girlfriend just penned him a public happy birthday note ... and it's mushy as hell!!

Jutta Leerdam took to her Instagram page on Friday afternoon to wish the boxer a great 28 -- adding a bunch of adorable pictures of the two together to emphasize her HBD message.

"Happy 28th birthday baby," she wrote. "The hardest worker in the world with the sweetest heart. ❤️"

Chris Weidman, the UFC's former middleweight champion, who battled back after gruesomely breaking his leg in the Octagon, just announced he's laying down his gloves.

"I'm here to tell you guys I'm hanging up the gloves in the UFC. I'm no longer going to be fighting for the organization that changed my life in so many ways. I'm just super appreciative to everybody who got me here," 40-year-old Weidman said on the UFC 311 weigh-in show.

"I just want to thank the UFC for all the opportunities they've given me. It's really become a family, from the Fertitta brothers to Dana White to Hunter Campbell. Joe Silva, the matchmaker who brought me into the UFC originally. Mick Maynard, and all the staff at the UFC. They're all just like family. They're all amazing people. It's just time to move on."

It's unclear if Chris plans to fight elsewhere.

If "The All-American" is done in the cage ... he's had a helluva career. Chris was part of one of the biggest upsets ever ... when he beat Anderson Silva, and took his title and UFC 162 in mid-2013.

Weidman also defeated the likes of Vitor Belfort, Lyoto Machida, Damian Maia, and Kelvin Gastelum over the years.

Of course, Weidman broke his leg against Uriah Hall in the opening moments of his UFC 261 fight ... and missed over two years while recovering.

But, Chris, not one to give up ... quite literally fought his way back to the Octagon, ultimately beating Bruno Silva in March 2024.

Weidman's last fight was against Eryk Anders ... a December 2024 scrap he lost by TKO.

Chaos at a Los Angeles Costco, where adults were fighting over boxes of Pokémon cards ... and the mayhem is all caught on video.

Roseanne Barr is making a career pivot inspired by Donald Trump's upcoming return to the White House ... debuting a new rap alter-ego in a music video celebrating the president-elect.

Check it out ... the controversial comedian wears sunglasses, leopard print, and her hair braided in blonde cornrows as she raps alongside Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald in their pro-Trump anthem, "Daddy's Home."

The two performers not so subtly rub DT's successful reelection bid in haters' faces, opening up the song with ... "We won, you mad, It's done, too bad, Boo-hoo, so sad."

Classy move from Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh ... he took time out of his busy schedule this week to thank wildfire first responders with a sweet meet-and-greet.

The 61-year-old headed up the PCH and dropped in on an LAFD base camp near the Palisades on Thursday night to express his gratitude for those battling the flames ... and check out some footage from his visit, it was awesome.

Harbaugh introduced himself to firefighters and officials with his full name and a handshake, despite the guys knowing exactly who he was.

Caitlin Clark is taking full advantage of her first WNBA offseason ... hitting the town for a cute date night with her longtime boyfriend, Connor McCaffery.

Clark and her man were courtside Thursday night to watch Indiana's professional women's volleyball team -- the Indy Ignite -- as they played the Grand Rapids Rise.

Clark was locked in on the action while chowing down on some sour patch kids ... and not even McCaffery trying to squeeze in a conversation between points got her to take her eyes off the court.
