The Kamala Harris interview billed as her in the lion’s den got as fiery as expected, with a heated exchange erupting with Fox News’ Bret Baier over a Donald Trump remark about the “enemy within” America.

The Vice President’s sit down with Bret lasted about 30 minutes, covering a slew of hot-button campaign issues … like immigration, transgender issues, President Biden‘s mental acuity and, of course, her opponent.

That’s when the fireworks really started as Bret asked Harris about the fact roughly half of U.S. voters want Trump back in the White House. As he put it to her, “Are they misguided the 50 percent? Are they stupid?”

Erik and Lyle Menendez were glued to the screen as prosecutors made a major announcement in their murder case … watching it all unfold from behind bars.

Sources with knowledge of the situation tell TMZ … the famous convicts watched Thursday’s press conference live from prison, tuning in to see L.A. County D.A. George Gascón announce prosecutors would be reviewing new evidence.

Gascón says his office is reviewing Erik and Lyle’s claims that their father, Jose Menendez, molested them before they killed him … and he said he would decide if the brothers should get a new trial or if prosecutors should go for a new sentence — presumably manslaughter — which could set them free.

The brothers are serving life sentences at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego … and they’ve got lots of folks calling for their release, including Kim Kardashian.

Gascón said Thursday his office is aware of the new claims by a former member of the band Menudo — who says Jose also molested him.

Those claims are highly relevant, because it goes to whether the judge in the second Menendez brothers trial erred by not allowing evidence in that Jose allegedly molested his sons.

Hayley Williams‘ is trashing a second Donald Trump term … saying people need to vote if they don’t want to end up in a dictatorship run by the 45th POTUS.

The Paramore singer-songwriter fired off at the Republican candidate for president at Las Vegas’ iHeartRadio Music Festival Friday night … dropping to the ground and speaking right into the camera for those in the venue and for everyone streaming the show.

She first mentions Project 2025 — the presidential transition plan for Donald Trump created by the Heritage Foundation — saying it’s DJT’s playbook for “controlling and pubishing women, poor people, people of color and the LGBTQ+ community.”

Williams gets right back to singing after that … but, she’s thoroughly polarized fans online — with reactions differing along party lines. Dems are commending her for calling out Trump while Repulicans are claiming she’s just mindlessly parroting left-wing talking points.

Worth noting … Trump has repeatedly said he has nothing to do with Project 2025 — though there are several links between his campaign and the Heritage Foundation which are giving voters pause.

Of course, Hayley may have a personal reason for not liking Trump much, too … ’cause he recently slammed her friend Taylor Swift, who she toured with in Europe over the summer.

Trump blasted T-Swift after she endorsed Kamala Harris earlier this month … saying he straight up hates her on Truth Social.

Thrill seekers got more than they bargained for at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk … folks who were riding the classic roller coaster had to be evacuated near the top of the ride!!!

Footage from the beachside theme park shows several riders being led down the Giant Dipper’s wooden structure Sunday … holding on to the railing for dear life as they climb down a huge ramp. They’re not quite at the pinnacle of the ride, but they’re certainly uphill.

It’s pretty scary … the people being evacuated from the ride had their car stuck at the top of the coaster’s lift hill … so they have a lot of track to cover. In terms of why they had to get out and trek down … we have an answer, and as it turns out — it was completely necessary.

We’re told there were no accidents with the coaster cars … the ride just needed to halt operations temporarily to make sure the guest in need was safe, and riders were evacuated because it was going to take a long time to get everything settled.

SCBB says the videos show their employees leading the evacuations from the front and back of the line … and the Giant Dipper is back to normal now.

Jennifer Lopez still has kind words for her man Ben Affleck … wishing him a Happy Father’s Day despite their recent marital woes.

The singer-songwriter shared a pic of a young Ben to her Instagram story in black and white … and small lettering appears, one letter after another, under it. The message reads, “Our Hero. Happy Father’s Day.”

She also tossed in a white heart emoji … letting everyone know she’s still got a lotta love for her husband of nearly two years who is dad to Violet, Seraphina and Samuel and stepdad to her kids Max and Emme.

Jennifer’s sweet posts are an interesting sign for the couple who have been through the wringer recently. As we’ve told you, the couple separated several weeks ago — deciding to live in separate houses — though they’ve still put on a united front for their kids.

They’ve attended multiple graduations together — though at his son Samuel’s graduation, the two stayed far away from one another. Jen did go over to Ben’s rental home after the ceremony but didn’t sleep over … not surprising given we told you the pair are hurtling toward an imminent divorce.

They’re even trying to sell their giant Beverly Hills mansion … though they’re trying to do it on the DL.

The two have been spotted wearing their wedding rings in public — albeit Jen more consistently than Ben — and that, plus this message, is bound to give Bennifer fans hope of a larger reconciliation.

That said, Lopez has called out all the negativity in the world while rumors have swirled — unclear if she meant about the possible split specifically, but it’s certainly possible.

“MILF Manor” star Kelle Mortensen is following in the footsteps of some of Hollywood’s hottest moms … but even she can’t rival the likes of Kris Jenner.

TMZ caught up with the reality star in Los Angeles, where we asked who she’d consider the MILF GOAT.

According to Kelle, she respects the KarJenner matriarch as a MILF idol … noting Kris’ daughter, Kim Kardashian,  as well — since she’s a hot mama in her own right.

We aren’t surprised Kelle selected Kris and Kim as her favs … as the famed momager has been dating a man 25 years younger than her for years and the SKIMS founder famously starred in the music video for Fergie‘s “M.I.L.F. $.”

As for Kelle, she just returned for season 2 of “MILF Manor” — this time without her son, Joey.

Remember, season 1 featured a group of MILFs looking for love among a group of 8 single men — not knowing before filming that their own sons were in the mix.

For season 2, the show mixed things up, allowing the men to bring their dads along — adding a whole new layer to the already complicated show.

While Kelle admits last season got a little awkward for herself and Joey, she notes his absence this time around didn’t make things any easier.

She says … “Well, there is a Joey on the show that kind of looks like my Joey and we kind of make out in the hot tub.”

As for how Joey feels about his mom’s hot tub make-out sesh? Kelle confirms her son does watch the show, but hasn’t commented on the steamy smooch.

We don’t blame him, FWIW.

Diddy‘s alleged mule, Brendan Paul, struck a good deal in his drug case — ’cause he ain’t gonna be doing any time behind bars … TMZ has learned.

Brendan’s attorney, Brian Bieber, tells us … “Brendan accepted the prosecutor’s offer to permit his entry into the diversion program which, after completion, the case against him will be dismissed in its entirety.”

A rep for the Miami-Dade State Attorney confirms this as well, telling TMZ … this was a standard offer to a non-violent defendant with no priors — who was arrested for a possession case instead of a much more serious trafficking case.

The rep confirms Brendan has enrolled in a drug diversion program … which should last about 6 months. Technically, the case and charge are still pending until the course is completed — but there’ll be no jail time or probation if Brendan completes the course without issue. This seems like a best-case scenario for BP … who was charged with a felony drug charge in April.

TMZ broke the story … Brendan was slapped with one felony count of drug possession following his March arrest at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Brendan, who previously worked as Diddy’s main assistant, was booked after authorities allegedly found cocaine and marijuana candy in his bag during a search.

The arrest notably occurred at around the same time as raids on the rap mogul’s Los Angeles and Miami homes … as part of an investigation into recent allegations of sex trafficking, illegal gun possession and more.

Steve Buscemi‘s recovering after a random attack in New York City … saying a guy punched him in the face in broad daylight for no reason — and, lamenting the state of the city.

The actor was walking in Kips Bay — a neighborhood on the east side of Manhattan — last week when he says a dude walked up and clocked him before running off.

According to the New York Post … SB ended up going to the hospital where he was treated for swelling to his face and eye.

Attacks like these are not uncommon in New York City … remember, Bethenny Frankel opened up about an attack eerily similar to the one Buscemi suffered — and, it turns out tons of people, especially young women, have been in Steve’s shoes.

Of course, more recently one specific attack in NYC’s been on the country’s brain … when video of a man sneaking up on a woman and choking her unconscious with a belt before allegedly raping her went viral.

Tiffany Haddish unloaded on campus protesters across the country who are speaking out about the war in the Middle East — and she’s doubling down … offering up other solutions.

The comedian was in NYC Monday, where we caught her in the street for a quick stop-and-chat — and Tiffany expanded on her thoughts from this weekend … where she was filmed at a Netflix Is a Joke event discussing the ongoing demonstrations at universities everywhere.

If you didn’t see that … well, her remarks are pretty interesting — ’cause she basically telegraphed her true feelings about all these protesters and their disruptive methods.

Taylor Swift is singing about sports and feelings on her new album … which is why a lot of people think she might’ve given her boyfriend Travis Kelce a shout-out.

The singer’s new album “The Tortured Poets Department” dropped Friday … and her song, “The Alchemy” paints a picture of a blossoming romance with loads of football lingo — and plenty of her fans are pretty sure it’s a nod to her athlete boo.

Just dive into the lyrics and decide for yourself … “So when I touch down / Call the amateurs and cut ’em from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown / Baby I’m the one to beat.”

She continues to sing … “Where’s the trophy? He just comes, running over to me” … on its face, that appears to be a shout-out to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end sprinting her way post-Super Bowl win for that victory smooch seen around the world.

Mind you, Taylor hasn’t officially said the song’s about TK — also, at one point she seems to hint at an old flame, “Cause the sign on your heart / Said it’s still reserved for me” — so it could be about her fling with Matt Healy or long-term ex, Joe Alwyn. Hard to tell for sure.

Josh Peck seems to be taking a head-in-the-sand approach to everything coming out from ‘Quiet on Set’ — including Drake Bell‘s abuse story — and his fans are taking notice.

The ex-child star posted a new video on social media this week — this after the explosive doc about Nickelodeon aired — and JP doesn’t seem willing to address the elephant in the room … ’cause he’s just doing silly TikToks without talking about what’s on everyone’s mind.

The clip features Josh lip-syncing to some goofy audio … relatively meaningless considering his one-time peers are speaking out, and people are pissed that he’s choosing to ignore it.

Check out his comment section in this post — as well as other recent TikToks of his — and you’ll see exactly what we mean … hundreds of people are slamming him for remaining silent on the doc and acting like nothing’s going on, calling on him to say something.

One person wrote, “your silence is LOUD brother” … and another added, “*sigh* Josh you disappointed us” … and yet another digitally shouted, “JUSTICE FOR DRAKEEEE.”

Like we said, Josh hasn’t uttered one word about the documentary or Drake — but considering their recently rocky past, including a very clear falling out, perhaps it’s not surprising that Josh isn’t running to support his old costar during this difficult time.

If you’re unfamiliar, Drake and Josh have NOT been close at all of late — and their apparent feud bubbled up when Josh get married several years ago … a wedding to which Drake wasn’t invited, and which he was very upset about at the time, making gripes quite publicly.

There was a lot of back and forth over this, and in the end — Josh made clear that him and Drake simply hadn’t stayed in touch after their show … in other words, they’re not friends.

They had a sweet reunion at the 2017 VMAs — but even after that, there seemed to be bad blood … so on its face, it’s somewhat understandable that Josh is looking the other way.

Still, many feel like he should talk about this regardless — because the issues being spotlighted on ‘Quiet on Set’ are obviously bigger than any petty beef they might have.

We’re finally at the end of the week here at TMZ — and finishing strong on our TV shows!

Let’s start on ‘TMZ Live,’ where Harvey and Charles talked about the never-ending war between Kanye and Kim — with the latest swipe being taken by Ye, who publicly griped about where their 4 children go to school … calling out the expensive/private one they all attend.

While KW fired away online, we’re hearing Kim’s fuming angrily behind the scenes.

Moving on over to ‘TMZ on TV,’ the gang talked about a huge move in the fact Oprah is stepping down from the board of Weight Watchers — a partnership she’s been in for years.

Some speculate it all has to do with the fact she’s on weight-loss drugs now … although, WW and O are trying to make it seem this uncoupling is very friendly, and very kumbaya.

Lastly, we’re on ‘TMZ Sports,’ where Bacock and Mojo talked Tom Brady’s new 40-yard dash.
