Interview

Hunter Biden got real about how his dad dealt with his crack addiction ... revealing Joe Biden used to pull up with a motorcade to his apartment.

Hunter told "Dopey" podcast host David Manheim that Joe used to visit while he was living with "Bicycles" -- an unhoused person Hunter had asked to sell him crack and teach him how to smoke it.

He told Manheim he thinks Joe and Bicycles had crossed paths when he would roll up to their place.

Hunter explained that his dad would call repeatedly before resorting to other measures of checking in, saying ... "He literally, you know, would drive over with a, you know, with a motorcade."

IndyCar pulled off one of the wildest one-off races in years -- 100K+ fans, the nation's capital, cars rippin' around the streets -- and the guy who won the historic race has a simple take on a sequel.

Don't do it!

Kyle Kirkwood dominated Sunday's Freedom 250 race, leading for 128 of the 147 laps ... becoming the first (and if he gets his way, the only) winner of an IndyCar race in Washington, D.C.

When TMZ DC asked the Andretti Global driver if he'd like to return next year, he hit up with an interesting answer.

Ray J and Blueface may be beefing right now, but Ray J says it's nothing that can't be worked out with their fists ... and the right paycheck.

We caught up with Ray J after his heated phone call with Blueface -- things had gotten messy when the streamer claimed he'd been messing around with Ray J's girl.

Ray's ex Princess Love clarified that Blueface definitely wasn't talking about her ... but Ray J got a little dodgy when we asked if he had a girlfriend who may be involved with the online drama.

Viola Davis says Target could win people over again after releasing a racist Halloween costume ... if they play their cards right.

While leaving LAX Friday, the acclaimed actress explained forgiveness is possible for the retailer, but she's got some pointers.

Viola says restoring DEI, supporting more Black business owners, and ensuring they don't release any more offensive costumes are all solid steps on the road to regaining consumers' trust.

Blueface's ex, Jaidyn Alexis, is drawing a hard line when it comes to the baby he had with another woman ... telling us the child won't be meeting the kids she shares with the rapper anytime soon.

Jaidyn sat down with our Towanda on "The TMZ Podcast" and flat-out said there are "no plans" for her children to meet his new baby, Jonathan Jr.

Reason being ... Jaidyn says she wants to "get the swab results back" first ... making it clear she's not fully buying that the baby is Blueface's just yet.

KJ Dillard is finding healing through his new music ... telling TMZ he's "doing really good" after receiving mental health treatment following the most recent "Summer House" season.

We got the reality star out in NYC this week, and he told our photog he's been working on himself, learning a lot, and practicing patience and grace as he navigates life after his mental health struggles.

KJ says music is a form of therapy for him ... helping him mentally and emotionally as he navigates this chapter in his life.

Angel McCoughtry isn't mincing words when it comes to Enes Kanter Freedom ... the former WNBA star just lit up the 11-year NBA vet!

TMZ Sports ran into the 5x WNBA All-Star at LAX on Thursday amid the raging controversy ... and Angel didn't hold back, teeing off on not just Kanter, but the guys who have thrown sex toys on the court.

"I just have a question to the guys out there. What is the obsession? The dildos are being thrown on the ground. You guys are coming with the shirts. There's no transgender in the WNBA. So y'all are going on a frenzy about what? What is the obsession with this? Why can't we play and have fun?"

Greg Bovino -- the former head of Border Patrol -- says the Trump Administration wants him dead ... which is why they're not giving him a security detail anymore.

Bovino, who served as the commander-at-large for the United States Border Patrol from October 2025 to January 2026, made the wild accusations on "The Tucker Carlson Show" in an episode published Thursday morning.

Check out the clip ... Carlson points out Dr. Anthony Fauci still has a security detail -- while Bovino doesn't.

Suge Knight is making a bombshell claim amid the Tupac Shakur murder trial ... saying Duane "Keffe D" Davis' lawyers offered him up to $1 million to say Keefe wasn't in the car that allegedly shot up Tupac.

Suge joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday from prison and said he refused the alleged offer ... insisting his loyalty to Tupac "can't be compromised."

The Death Row founder also took aim at The Game ... pushing back on the rapper's recent claim that Keffe D is being used as a scapegoat.

Taylor Swift has a warning for her haters ... she bites back.

The 14-time Grammy winner opened up about how she deals with criticism during a nearly hour-long conversation with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. for the Grammy Museum's "Icon Sessions."

Harvey asked Taylor how she keeps public perception from messing with her creativity ... and she said, "Sometimes when people are mocking me, it's really fun to mock them back."

Alex Pretti's family says no one has given them the complete truth about his fatal shooting ... and they believe officials spent more time vilifying him than investigating his death.

The 37-year-old ICU nurse's parents told "Good Morning America" Tuesday they're speaking out now because they want justice and accountability -- seven months after two federal immigration officers shot and killed him in Minneapolis.

Alex's father, Michael, says the videos speak for themselves ... but the family still wants all the facts.

His mother, Susan, added ... "My shock is that he was murdered and no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable."

Will Forte is giving "Coyote vs. Acme" fans their flowers ... saying their refusal to let the movie die is the reason it's finally hitting theaters.

We got Will in New York City on Wednesday, and he told us he's pumped for people to finally see the film when it drops August 28 -- especially after he had pretty much given up on it ever seeing the light of day.

Will plays Wile E. Coyote's lawyer in the flick ... helping the Looney Tunes legend sue Acme over all those faulty contraptions that have blown up in his face over the years -- and John Cena plays the head of Acme's legal team.

Sophie Rain is having the last laugh over a Florida gubernatorial candidate who invoked her name and proposed a "sin tax" ... because he got trounced in his primary.

Here's the deal ... James Fishback proposed a 50% tax on income brought in by OnlyFans stars living in the state -- a "Sin Tax" -- and called out Sophie as someone who should do more with her life than adult entertainment.

Well, he got his butt kicked in Tuesday's primary election ... coming in 3rd with about 10% of the vote ... so it seems his tax idea wasn't a big hit with voters.

Sophie tells TMZ ... had James been less focused on her T&A and more focused on actual issues voters care about, maybe he'd have done better in the polls.

'Bachelorette' star Tyler Cameron has found his bride ... and now comes the tricky part -- deciding who from Bachelor Nation gets a seat at the wedding ... and who doesn't.

We got Tyler at LAX on Tuesday afternoon, and he told our photog he still needs to ask fiancée Tate Madden how many people he's allowed to invite ... though he promised they'll have a good group.

When we asked whether Hannah Brown -- the woman Tyler pursued on "The Bachelorette" in 2019 -- made the cut, he didn't hesitate to tell us she's not on the guest list.
