Jennifer Aniston And Liza Kudrow Drop Bombshell On Friends…
Okay, I never seen anything like this, but a Spurs fan is under arrest. A fan just ran on the floor after trying to take a selfie with Wemby. But here is the problem: he didn’t get the shot. Victor Wembanyama is seven-foot-six. You cannot frame him. It is up to his neck.
Deep in the heart of Costa Rica, a secret plan was devised that could tear apart the highest levels of the American government. There was a plot hatched in Costa Rica to take back the Republican Party, and it was Representative Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene. They both turned against Trump. Charlie Cotton caught up with Thomas Massie.
“A lot of people think you guys are cooking something up.”
“Marjorie and I talked about where the party is going and what we think it needs to be doing.”
He was spilling it to Charlie. He said why they are disappointed with where Trump has taken the party, but he made it clear they have a plan. Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner has been on the most insane Kylie Cosmetics brand trip in Turks and Caicos. Welcome to the Kylie summer trip. She was posting all kinds of bikini pictures.
Talk about a write-off. It is a work trip.
How is Turks and Caicos a business trip?
What is it like for an IRS auditor? He likes the photos. The IRS guy is double-tapping all the photos.
“I like that one.”
Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow did Actors on Actors, and they were talking about Friends. The movie stars that came on Friends—they would be so nervous. I was so surprised by that. The big stars were always nervous. They are out of their comfort zone.
“For sure.”
“We have had people come in when I am not here. And some of them get nervous. Remember Tara Reid was surprised how poor we were.”
She said she thought we made a lot of money until she walked through the parking lot and saw our cars.
Welcome to the Kylie summer trip. All right, it is Kylie Jenner in Turks and Caicos for a Kylie Cosmetics brand trip where influencer friends promote her stuff, and Kylie has to make serious life-altering business decisions. Like she has tried on a thousand different colors of bikinis. It needs to be the most bikini.
Wow. This is the most difficult boardroom conversation we have ever witnessed. Also, the only one where the CEO has a belly button. She was having fun on the beach wearing little bikinis, but she only brought her best friend, so she did not even go outside of her circle to promote her own product.
Talk about a write-off. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. She can write this off. It is a work trip. I am going to start taking selfies. You know, if I go on vacation, you are going to wear speedos and take selfies. Like, that is one way to sell TMZ tour bus tickets.
But it is not all fun and games here because her friends had to put in the work, including her daughter, Stormi. “My name is Stormi, and my favorite product of Kylie Cosmetics is lip butter toasted marshmallow.”
Yes, the child labor laws in Turks and Caicos are a little more lax. But one thing is for sure: Kylie is going to move this product. What is she marketing there? Her boobies.
I know, boy. How does that help her brand?
Her lipstick.
Who the hell is looking at her lipstick? Nobody.
Well, what else is she going to do? Stick the product in the sand alone? Because she actually did that, too. It just looks sad.
So, what have we learned here? Every time you want to go on vacation, you invite friends, you write the entire thing off.
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
What is it like for an IRS auditor? The IRS guy is double-tapping all the photos. Dude, this is the most allowable deduction we have ever seen. Have a good trip, Kylie. Bye.
“I can just live out here without, you know, completely unplugged.”
Josh Altman said he is preparing a survival compound for the apocalypse. I mean, is he building a thing? He was recently on the Shawn Ryan Show, and he said that he has a property in North Dakota.
“I just wanted something different that I could get away to if I needed to. And then it became something as the world got a little bit scarier.”
So he started to slowly develop it. “We got three wells out there, so I got plenty of water. Solar. Everything runs off of propane. You know, we could fish. I could hunt. I have guns. Hopefully I never need them for anything other than hunting.”
What happened to Josh Altman? I used to see him and Mark Consuelos in your dreams. And no, it is a popular thing to do. Billionaires do it. I know people are doing this now. Is it like a remote part of North Dakota? Every part of North Dakota. We will be able to figure it out.
Mr. Ford, we have to ask you about kicking the turkey. Oh my goodness, that is Will Forte in New York. And no, kicking the turkey is not some Gen Alpha slang invented to confuse adults. It is a reference to this.
“You are being the only one who gives a—”
Just call Will Forte George Jefferson because he showed that turkey who is boss. Will Forte is very excited. He got to kick a turkey. So the second season of his show, The Four Seasons, has come out, and there is a big Thanksgiving episode where his character has a meltdown and grabs the turkey off the table and runs out on the front porch.
“Done being the only one who gives a—”
And he says it was a real turkey. We did it in one take. “I mean, I could have had a second crack if I blew it. So it was a lot of pressure because you want to just let everybody move on.”
He said they had a couple ready to go depending on how many takes it would take.
Wait a minute. They can say no animal was harmed during this movie? They cannot say that.
What animal was harmed? Because they got it from a supermarket. No animals were harmed. They had to cook them. They had to cook them. But for the movie, it would still be alive. No, it would not. It would still be in the grocery store. No, you are missing it. If they did not do that in the show, there would be three turkeys that would be alive today. No, they would not. They would have been on someone’s Thanksgiving table.
We will argue about anything. God.
Anywho, wonder what Will’s foot smelled like after he drop-kicked that gobbler. Like Thanksgiving. It smelled like Thanksgiving. Always. Who does not want their foot to smell like Thanksgiving for a while? So, congrats on your kicking skills, Will Forte. And RIP Thanksgiving turkey. God is eating your delicious flesh now.
“Hey Sam, how are you, mate?”
“Good. How are you?”
So we got Sam Altman in D.C. He is the founder of OpenAI, and we asked him, hey, in your personal life, like how do you use ChatGPT? Because obviously it is this big resource.
“I use it recently for like how to re-lay out my room.”
Your room. Fantastic. It feels like he is living with his parents still. Yeah, he does say my room. Yeah, he lives in a massive mansion with his husband. Oh, is he gay? Yeah, he is gay. But is it also weird as a gay man to use it to re-lay out your room? Is it not like part of it? Like you know how to decorate?
You think it is part—you think Harvey knows how to decorate? Yes. You think it is DNA? Gay people are just better at decorating than any straight guy because you guys have better style.
Why is that stereotype, Harvey? Everyone who Skypes into TMZ Live, you bring up their interior. Is that fireplace real or fake? I am fascinated by what is behind that—really interesting wall. Is that wallpaper or is that cement?
“Hey, I appreciate that, sir.”
The Spurs lost to the Knicks in San Antonio Wednesday night in Game One of the NBA Finals. But the real loser was this Spurs fan. A fan just ran on the floor. Wants to take a selfie. Security quickly takes him away. This was crunch time in Game One of the NBA Finals. The Knicks and Spurs were going at it, and all of a sudden a fan runs onto the court, rushes up to Victor Wembanyama in hopes of getting a selfie.
But there is a problem this man did not think through. Victor Wembanyama is seven-foot-six. He did not get the shot.
Let me get attention.
And he is not going to get another chance. So for all that, he gets a lifetime ban. He gets arrested, kicked out of the game. The juvenile was charged with disrupting meeting or procession, criminal trespass, and probably first-degree stupid. And as far as Wemby, he was just shocked.
“I have never been in that situation. I did not know how to act. It really surprised me.”
Almost as much as that time when a bat crashed the court. And yes, that actually happened. The Coyote is Johnny on the spot. But the Frenchman is forgetting about another time when a certain fan rushed him outside a nightclub. And remember, he came here and like five days in, he made tabloid news because of Britney. And his security guard slapped her, but that was off the court.
Unlike this fan who interrupted the game. They had to take several minutes to figure out who had possession because there was a steal. They ruled the Knicks had not obtained possession at the time. The Knicks lost the jump ball and the Knicks lost possession. But the Knicks won the game, so it does not matter. And now on to Game Two, where this guy definitely will not be there.
Wants to take a selfie. Security quickly takes him away.
Did you have a favorite episode? Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow did Actors on Actors, and they were talking about Friends. And it is interesting because Jennifer asked Lisa, “Do you have a favorite episode of Friends that you ever did?” And Lisa does not really have an answer. And Jennifer says, “Did you like the Thanksgiving episodes? Those were fun.”
“Those were great. Thanksgiving episodes when Brad was on. That was hilarious. That was hilarious.”
And just getting back—and then they talk about the other celebrities who had cameos, and that show did get a lot of celebrities. Tons of celebrities. I am thinking, these are—we have movie stars that are coming into our sitcom, and they would be so nervous. They were always nervous, which surprised them because they are just this show Friends and these are big movie stars.
Well, I know. I mean, it is funny because we have had people come in when I am not here, and they are terrified. And some of them get nervous just because—they haven’t—remember Tara Reid was surprised how poor we were.
“How what?”
“You know, it is funny. I was asking my manager on the way here. I was like, they must get a lot of money. I looked in the parking lot and I looked at some of the cars and I realized maybe not.”
Awful lot of Hyundais out there.
I love it so much though.
Coming up, there is this Chinese actor, Zhang Linghe. He is huge in China. He is doing an appearance at a mall. There are hordes of fans outside these glass doors. They get so riled up that they break through. The glass shatters. It is insane video.
TMZ online and on your phone 24/7.
Coming up, Alex Earle. She is going to be starring in Benson Boone’s new music video. Yeah. Is it just a friendship? Just a friendship. Is he connected with someone? Remember he just broke up with his girlfriend, or she broke up with him? She did not break up with him.
Be right back.
And now TMZ presents Like a Bull in a China Shop starring Chinese megastar Zhang Linghe.
So there is this Chinese actor. He is on Netflix China shows—one called Pursuit of Jade. Well, Zhang was doing an appearance at a mall in China, and hundreds of fans showed up to meet him. But that is when the China syndrome took over, because the fans went nuclear. They get so riled up that they break through the glass door. Shatters. It honestly looks like a zombie apocalypse. It really does. And they like swarm into the mall. They have to take him out for his own safety and cancel the whole thing.
And now everyone is thinking the same thing. Like I wish someone would do that for me. No, we meant they are hoping everyone is okay, but good luck with that. I will tell you, malls and stars just do not mix. Well, Scooter Braun did once almost get prosecuted after Justin Bieber caused chaos at a mall. But hey, Tiffany owes her entire career to sparrows and Claire’s.
But what do you know about malls? Are you not—how do we put this delicately—of a pre-mall age?
“Yes, I had malls.”
You had malls in the—Topanga Mall. The Topanga Plaza Mall was the—I think the first mall in L.A. Was that in the seventies? It was when I was like fourteen, fifteen. So 1954? 1944.
Do not hurt yourself, dear. So glad you are safe, John. And we are just kidding, boss. We are sure the mall was lit back in your day. What were the stores like? They did not have Gap and stuff. They had like blacksmiths.
Yeah.
Now Hunger Games us out of here, kids.
Three more. Three more.
Scooter Braun was a huge Knicks fan. Watched them lose year after year. His dad would take him to games occasionally. So now they are finally in the Finals. Scooter is very successful, and he has a chance to take his dad to go see an NBA Finals game with the Knicks. Never happened before. And Scooter flies to San Antonio. He is ready to go to the game. They miss their flight, or the flight gets canceled from New York.
Scooter was at the game last night. He was standing there. I do not know who he was with, but it was not his dad. He posted a video that his dad and his friends posted. They are in New York just at home watching the game.
“My flight got canceled. I lost a fortune on my ticket, and I do not give a—”
That is his dad. His dad is behind him. His dad did not care because the Knicks won. And now he cannot go to a game because it is good luck for him not to go to a game.
That is not true. Oh, definitely. I wear the same jersey. I wore a jersey. I am not going to wash it. You are so egocentric. You think that one misstep on your part will cost the Knicks a win? Absolutely. I do not want to take the chance. That is dumb. Why? The players do this, too. Yeah, but they are playing. Are you saying the players have a bigger impact on the game than the fans do? No. No. No. No. Bing.
Deep in the heart of Costa Rica, a secret plan is devised that could tear apart the highest levels of the American government. And one of the key players is this man.
“It is nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you, too.”
He is not really Australian. That is Thomas Massie, Republican congressman—at least until January, because dude got voted out. So he took a little quote-unquote vacation. There was a plot hatched in Costa Rica to take back the Republican Party between two people that have been kicked out: Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene. They were both in the outs because they went against Trump. She resigned. He got primaried.
“I saw photos of you and Marjorie Taylor Greene down in Costa Rica. How was that? What were you up to?”
“Um, we were having a good time. We went fishing. Uh, we had a few margaritas.”
One thing leads to another, and uh, yeah, you plan a coup. “Marjorie and I talked about things that I cannot tell you here in terms of where the party is going and what we think it needs to be doing.”
So do you and Marjorie have plans of some description? “We have not ruled anything out.”
The thing that stuck with me is he wants to go back there. “I will go back down there and uh because I saw some tuna and I would like to go down there and catch one of those tuna.”
Uh-huh. Think he is talking in code. So we shall catch the tuna fish and the raven flies at dawn. Yeah. There is also something about Costa Rica. It is like so peaceful. It is a very calming place. Yeah. Or you plan a revolution.
Thanks for your time, Congressman Thomas Massie, our man in Costa Rica.
Alex Earle is adding actress to her resume. She is going to be starring in Benson Boone’s new music video. Benson has been teasing his new song, “The Time of My Life.” And he posted a video on TikTok where a little teaser video for the song, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that on the nightstand there is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition with Alex Earle on the cover.
So we found out that Benson and Alex—I guess they struck up a friendship a year ago at the AMAs, and they have been friendly ever since. He asked her to be the star in his new music video. She said yeah. She is super excited. Unclear exactly what her role is going to be, but it is a significant role in the video.
Is it just a friendship? Just a friendship, we are told for now. Is he connected with someone? Oh, he—remember he just broke up with his girlfriend, or she broke up with him. She did not break up with him. He is like in a skinny tracksuit doing backflips. She is going to break up with him. You turned down Benson Boone. If my long-term boyfriend was all of a sudden in one pieces doing backflips on stage, I would be done. That is disgusting.
In the pantheon of prospective boyfriends, Benson Boone is toward the top of the food chain. I think you are projecting your own desires onto right now.
Coming up, I spoke to Sol Ruca, WWE’s newest Intercontinental Champion. I asked her, “What is the most embarrassing disaster in the ring?”
“I mean, I feel like the extreme would probably be like throwing up.”
Wrestlers have a lot to worry about when they are performing in front of millions of people. It is not just safety and getting pinned. It is bodily fluids. So I spoke to Sol Ruca, WWE’s newest Intercontinental Champion on TNT’s Inside the Ring. I asked her, what are you most worried about? What is the most embarrassing disaster in the ring?
“Um, I think something that a lot of us do encounter is just like wardrobe malfunctions, which is just—it is just not fun. Yeah. If we are going extreme, I would say like throwing up would be just the worst.”
And I guess there is actually a protocol. If you are going to puke, you have to just get out of the ring. Go under the ring. Go under the ring. Yeah. Oh. But then I did some more research, and apparently John Cena—being the biggest one—he actually had an accident in the middle of a match, went under the ring, and then came back out and finished the match. He said he found paper towels under the ring.
What the hell is under there? A city. A city. There is some guy there that is like three-foot-two. A cologne colon.
That would be a disaster.
Coming up, we got Master P’s son, Hercy Miller. He is on the new Calabasas Confidential show, and we kind of asked him about if his dad had any advice for him being on reality TV.
“Yeah, he gave me advice. He said just have fun, be yourself, and that is the biggest thing you can do.”
God, Calabasas, man. What was it when you were a kid? It was a two-horse town.
“How are you?”
“Good. How are you?”
We got Master P’s son, Hercy Miller, out in L.A. He is on the new Calabasas Confidential show. And we kind of asked him about being a nepo baby and if his dad had any advice for him being on reality TV.
“Yeah. He gave me advice. He said, ‘Just have fun, be yourself, and that is the biggest thing you can do.'”
A lot of you guys are nepo babies on the show. What is the hardest part about being a nepo baby? People got to realize they see that title as nepo baby as like something wrong with it. That is not the case. It is like we all live the same life. You know, we all eat, sleep, breathe the same way. It is just some people come from a different—you know, I like to say this saying, you know, get them from the dirt, just a different soil.
Is this Calabasas thing, like, ahead?
Yeah.
God. Calabasas, man. What was it when you were a kid? Nothing. Farmland. It was a two-horse town. That is what the Kardashians did, is not it? No. Well, yeah. They really popularized it. Yeah. Yeah. I have guests come in from out of town. They want to go to Calabasas to see the Kardashians. Yeah.
Calabasas, the home of big assets.
Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
