The Atlanta Hawks’ controversial “Magic City Monday” is getting support from a man who knows the club -- and the wings -- better than most: former NBA star Lou Williams.

The former Hawks guard famously got busted visiting the legendary strip club during the NBA’s COVID bubble in 2020 … and now the three-time Sixth Man of the Year is weighing in on the team’s controversial plan to celebrate the iconic ATL spot at an upcoming game.

Not everyone is thrilled about the NBA franchise linking up with the famed gentlemen’s club -- but Lou tells TMZ Sports disagreements are part of the deal.

Gavin Newsom is pouring one out for Kristi Noem ... trolling the outgoing Homeland Security Secretary over her firing.

The California Governor gave a nod to Noem's ouster Thursday with a social media post ... an "In Memoriam" of sorts for Noem's short stint as President Trump's DHS Secretary.

Newsom's post features a slideshow of Noem photos playing to a version of Sarah McLachlan's famous song, "I Will Remember You." It says "IN MEMORIAM KRISTI NOEM 2025 - 2026" and later "IT WAS THE BEST WORST OF TIMES."

June "Mama June" Shannon gave a concerning health update earlier this week, revealing a serious new medical issue ... but she tells us it's not as bad as some have feared.

"It's not cancer," Mama June told us when we caught her and her kids out in NYC Wednesday. "Before I had my hysterectomy I was thinking the C-word, because I did have cysts and stuff ... But what I'm dealing with now, it has nothing to do with my hormones or anything like that. This is totally different."

Mama June told Page Six she's dealing with something that could "immobilize" her, but she didn't elaborate any further with us ... except to confirm that it's not expected to be life-threatening.

Britney Spears has spoken to her mom and her sons since being released from jail following her DUI arrest ... TMZ has learned.

Family sources tell TMZ ... after Britney was released from jail Thursday morning, her mom, Lynne Spears, called her as soon as she became aware of the arrest. We're told once she learned Britney was out of custody, Lynne reached out to show her support and offer anything her daughter might need. According to sources, the conversation was very "positive" and "hopeful."

Our family sources say Lynne loves her daughter, and during this time there has been a lot of prayer from the family. We're told Lynne and Britney are on good terms and are planning to see each other soon.

"Pawn Stars" star Corey Harrison is turning to fans for help after spending nearly all his money on medical bills following a scary motorcycle crash in Mexico ... and the life-threatening complications that followed.

You'll recall ... in January, Corey was involved in a terrifying accident in Tulum that left him with 11 fractured ribs, a concussion and facial injuries -- forcing him to miss his father Rick Harrison's January wedding.

"Big Hoss" tells TMZ ... he spent two weeks in the hospital before prematurely checking himself out due to mounting bills ... a decision that led to even more trouble. While resting at his Tulum home, Corey says he immediately began experiencing excruciating pain ... and a house doctor administered IV fluids and morphine treatments.

Kristi Noem was a terrible Homeland Security chief who cared more about her looks than doing her damn job ... so say Meghan McCain and Tomi Lahren.

The conservative commentators bashed Noem shortly after President Donald Trump announced she would no longer run DHS ... instead moving her to the position of "Special Envoy for The Shield of Americas."

First up, McCain questioned the massive $220 million advertising campaign DHS paid for ... pointing out an episode of "Game of Thrones" cost HBO far less to produce -- and federal investigators should look into where that money went.

Britney Spears was arrested for DUI last night ... and now TMZ has more details about the pop superstar's run-in with the law.

California Highway Patrol tells TMZ ... at approximately 8:48 PM Wednesday, a black BMW 430i was reported for driving erratically at a high rate of speed southbound on Interstate 101.

We're told officers located the car on the freeway, and when the driver pulled off the 101 at Westlake Boulevard in Thousand Oaks, officers identified her as Britney Spears.

Hindsight is 20/20 for Terrence Howard -- 'cause he's looking back at the time he lost out on a massive Marvel payday ... because he threatened to knock the teeth out of a big-time producer.

Howard dished all on the “PBD Podcast," saying the drama started during the promo run for the film "The Brave One," when he confronted producer Joel Silver over why his name wasn’t billed above the title alongside Jodie Foster. Joel told him it was because TH had a supporting role ... an explanation Terrence says he understood, but he still reacted aggressively.

According to Howard, his temper flared, and he warned Silver that if he ever spoke to him like that again, he’d knock his teeth out. Yikes.

The BMW Britney Spears was driving when she was arrested on suspicion of DUI last night has been picked up from the impound lot, TMZ has learned.

37-year-old Beverley shared clips he recorded to document the days following his arrest ... and right after he paid $40,000 bail and got out of jail, he was aware of the chatter on social media.
