TMZ on TV - 8/17/26

Okay, uh, so sad. Hayden Panettiere died yesterday, and authorities are suspecting this is a drug overdose. It's so sad because when you think of Hayden Panettiere, like, her career was just insane. I mean, she was a child star. She had her big break on, remember, the Titans, Heroes, Nashville. It's weird she's only 36, just because she's been around so long. She was literally acting before she could walk. Two rings in one year for NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns. He married Jordan Woods over the weekend. I was blown away with the celebrities. Kylie Jenner, Timothee Chalamet, Justin Bieber, Ben Stiller. Did you see the, uh, the Love Island people there? Love Island was there? People love Love Island. I would invite them to my wedding. First, you need a boyfriend. Dang! You can file this one under weird. Kaia Gerber, she says that when she was little... I was told I was possessed as a child. I actually did, that actually did happen. Her family performed an exorcism on her. This just makes her hotter. I'm sorry, it just makes her hotter. I agree. Her head spinning and just... Gene Simmons threw out four ceremonial first pitches at the Angels game. He wanted to throw a fifth pitch out. The Angels said, we're not going to let you throw five pitches out of respect for Jaden Daniels, who is currently in a legal battle with LSU over his number. And this has become a huge meme ever since this entire thing came out. Like, I saw a picture of Deion Sanders, who famously only has, like, four toes, and it was like, showin' respect to Jaden Daniels. Shocking and sad news. Actress Hayden Panettiere was found dead on Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina, at just 36 years old. Law enforcement sources tell us that they responded to a home in South Carolina where Hayden was at for a woman that was unresponsive. Overdose, CPR's in progress. But still unclear as to what exactly transpired or if Hayden's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Bryan Hickerson, was involved. So she and Bryan were in L.A. and flew out Saturday to South Carolina. Yeah. Bryan apparently was living in that apartment. Yeah, but it's unclear exactly who called paramedics to the scene. What's interesting here is that two ambulances were dispatched. Stretchers were rolled in. Nobody came out. A coroner's van then showed up and then took Hayden's body away. So it seems there was somebody else who was in some sort of medical distress requiring an ambulance. Otherwise, why would there be two ambulances? Unclear. Narcan was also found inside the apartment, although it's not known if it belonged to the paramedics or was already there. Hayden did have a history of substance abuse, which she was very open about in her memoir. We should just say, there's no evidence of foul play. They are still investigating this, but so far, no evidence. It's so sad because when you think of Hayden Panettiere, like, her career was just insane. I mean, she was a child star. I was eight months old when I started a show with friends and I did lots of commercials and movies and stuff. She had her big break on Remember the Titans. People fell in love with her on that. Bring It On, she was also in. Nashville, Heroes. And just recently, Scream 6. This woman was literally acting before she could walk. She was a huge star. It's two rings in one year for NBA star Carl Anthony Towns. He married Jordan Woods over the weekend. Oh wow, really? I was blown away. I think that they're kind of punching above their weight class here with the celebrities. Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber there, Kylie Jenner, Timothee Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Michael B. Jordan. I think this is a Jordan Woods thing. I think she's the one with the pole. He's always been, I mean, he's a Knick, but he's always been a bit of a dork. Timothee had to be so excited to go to this wedding. He's a huge Knicks fan. He's excited to go to a wedding? Yeah, a Knicks wedding? Yeah, it's still a wedding. Did you see the Love Island people there? Love Island was there? People love Love Island. I would invite them to my wedding if they'd show up. First you need a boyfriend. Thank you so much. Yeah, it's the Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry dance party. We are dancing, yeah? Okay, that's something. Well, there isn't a lot to say, but we'll give it a shot. Justin Trudeau at a hardware store and his son's song comes on the radio. His son, Zayve, has a song called Downtown. Yeah, it's all right, and charting in Canada. And Justin and Katy were so excited, they just started dancing right there in the store while buying a plunger, evidently. He's like spinning it, like he's using it as a prop. And singing a little bit. I can give you a chance to call me anything. It just was, ugh. I used to think he was like insanely good looking. This ruined the whole thing. It's over. He's retired, he's having fun. He looks good. He kind of looks like Tom Cruise. He's a good dad. This is what girls want. Okay, I think we're prepared to make a ruling. Mr. Trudeau, the plunger dancing was ill-advised, but in light of your support for your son, you shall remain in the cool book. Of course, one question remains unanswered. Why does he buy in a plunger? I was wondering the same. What happened? If Katy clogged up the toilet, it's amazing. Thanks, Katy and Justin. Dance like you just don't care. But guess he knew that already. I feel like movies that kill dogs should automatically be rated R. Anne Hathaway, she was doing an interview with Complex Pop and they were talking about her new movies like End of Oak Street, Odyssey, and she was basically saying, I think if there is the death of a dog in any film, it should be rated R. It doesn't matter if anybody curses. It doesn't matter if there's violence. If a dog dies, R rated. That's such crap. I agree. What? It is really. This is so stupid. No, no, it's not stupid. It shouldn't be R rated, but it is during like in the Odyssey. When he throws that puppy off the cliff. Oh, when he threw the puppy off the cliff? Exactly. Holy smokes. That was horrible. Why are we stopping at dogs? Why not lions? Lion King, you're gonna rate that R as well? The dogs aren't dying, guys. It's a movie. Old Yeller, you think should be rated R? Good, it should be. That's traumatizing. You love Old Yeller. You want kids to see Old Yeller. I'll do it, Paul. He's my dog. That's your favorite scene in the movie, is it? They better not kill the dog. And now from inking congressional documents to inking arms. Starring politician Nancy Mace. So South Carolina Republican, outgoing Congresswoman Nancy Mace is putting legislating behind and launching this YouTube show. The show's called Get Maced. And the promo is what you'd expect. Her shooting guns, doing Republican things. Yeah, Republican things like walking and pointing. But the video's biggest reveal. She's tatted up. Nancy Mace? Nancy Mace. And it's not just a little one, it's a lot. Some of them she got recently during a rough patch in her life. She had an engagement that ended and then her staffers started ditching her. She says for nine of the new ones, it was helping her get in touch with her pain and cope with those changes. This is the first time she's ever worn short sleeves? How has nobody ever noticed that? Especially in Washington, D.C., where it's hotter than hell. She probably felt she needed to hide them. But does anyone really care? Tattoos are so normalized now, I don't think it matters. Times are changing. All the people who are against tattoos are dying. Probably from being so uncool. Doctors are worse to have it. Why? They make you cover it up because people don't trust people with tattoos. Come on, if the doctor's qualified, then people don't mind. Face tattoos, I still wouldn't want my doctor to have a teardrop or something. Hi, I'm Dr. Mad Dog. What seems to be bothering you besides my face? Thanks, Nancy. We like your tats better than Bernie Sanders' tramp stamp. ♪ Come on, baby, let's have some music ♪ Conan O'Brien has a new gig, literally. He has a rock band called The Vagotas, named after Godfather actor Abe Vagota, who was a recurring guest on his talk show. So Conan debuted his band at Permanent Records in L.A., then played the Troubadour, which is where Elton John debuted in the U.S. Waiting for the next set, which is later tonight, and hoping that I dry off in the open air. They do, like, rockabilly covers, but the band is all professionals. Like, his bandmates have played with Shakira, Beck, Norah Jones. These are real musicians. ♪ Come on, baby, let's have some music ♪ He's really good. Conan's talented, he's super talented. I don't know that you can get this. I'll buy you lunch today if you can get this. Okay. Name the two actors on Father Knows Best that charted. Oh, they're definitely charting. Father Knows Best, or? Yeah. You have the wrong show. That's not the show, you got the wrong show. Oh, no. You're thinking of Paul Peterson and Shelly Fabre, who were on the Donna Reed Show. Well, Eric fixed your trivia question. You got it, you almost got it. Brutal. You did, David. ♪ Come on back to me, little girl, little girl, little girl ♪ Coming up. Kaya Gerber. She says that when she was little- I was told I was possessed as a child. Do you have an exorcism? I actually did. Kaya Gerber is your type. Yo-yo. If you could hook up with Kaya Gerber, would you tolerate green throw up? Yes. She doesn't even need a breath mint. I'm in, dude. Are you kidding me? Plus. Huge win for Ray J. He defeated Orlando Brown in a celebrity boxing match. But it is like the most comedic performance of boxing. This is like watching the slo-mo replay of a real boxing match. TMZ, online and on your phone 24-7. Coming up. Mama June's daughter, Pumpkin, has gotten to the Only Fans game, who poses risque. I can't even talk about this. Why? I don't know. Be right back. And now, TMZ presents the power of Kaya compels you. This is Kaya Gerber, one of the hottest women in the world, and nothing she could tell us would make us feel otherwise. I was told I was possessed as a child. And survey says. This just makes her hotter. I'm sorry. It just makes her hotter. Her head's spinning. Take me to hell. But hold on. She's gotta be kidding, right? And did that actually happen? That actually did happen. I've never talked about it, but that actually did happen. She says that when she was little, her family performed an exorcism on her because they genuinely thought she was possessed. You're lying. I swear to God. God has no place here. I just was possessed. I was haunted my whole life. I do feel as though I attract beings from the other dimension. So apparently ghosts can be pervs too. And Kaya says part of the exorcism included playing a didgeridoo around her. Cindy Crawford? Weird. She's off her rocker. Well, she does look like she made a deal with the devil at some point. But back to the original question. If you could hook up with Kaya Gerber, would you tolerate green throw up? She doesn't even need a breath mint. I'm in, dude. I'll kiss her on the mouth when it happens. I just cannot believe this. Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber performed an exorcism on Kaya. We gotta do a follow-up on TMZ Live to get to that. Yeah, let's get Satan on TMZ Live. Well, he already hosts it. Now, spin that gorgeous head and hot puke us out of here, Kaya. Did you have an exorcism? I actually did. Pumpkin making some serious cash at the strip club. Oh, right. So Mama June's daughter, Pumpkin, has gotten to the OnlyFans game and she's become a hit on the strip club circuit. She isn't only an OnlyFans model who poses risqué. I can't even talk about this, man. Like- What? Why? I don't know. She's cashing in. She's a famous person. She was on a reality show. She's doing OnlyFans. There's nothing wrong with that. No, she does full-on porn. I'm cool with it. I am. She's a consenting adult. She wants some money and she's doing it. OnlyFans reminds me of YouTube. What? Like early on, people look down on it and now it's like mainstream. And now it's just like taken over. But most of us here, most of us here don't have it. Well- Wait, are you saying you think we don't have accounts? Yeah, none of us go on OnlyFans. We're on Instagram and stuff. All the guys are so quiet. Jason just has a bead of sweat just like rolling down his sideburns. Welcome back to TMZ Fight Night. Let's get back to the action. Ray J grabs opponent Orlando Brown, appears to be holding him in a tender embrace. Both fall to the canvas and now they're just kind of rolling around playing grab ass. Okay, the hell is this? Huge win for Ray J because he just defeated Orlando Brown in a celebrity boxing match. Oh, I didn't know it was this weekend. Too bad, because you missed a barn burner, my friend. Brandi walked Ray J out and proudly watched her baby brother and another grown man flail around like two six-year-olds at a playground. It is like the most comedic performance of boxing you've ever seen. It was so embarrassing. Wait, people paid to watch this? Yeah, so they paid to watch McGregor fight for 69 seconds and this was far more entertaining. Ray J won? Yes. He had said he was going to Cancun to lock in for his training. Great place to lock in, Cancun. Yeah, he went to the Giggling Marlin. An all-you-can-eat resort just eating quesadillas and trains. Great job, Ray. Congratulations. Wiz Khalifa is not only a cannabis enthusiast, he's actually a actual real-life plant enthusiast. He is showing off his plant dad status. He said that he found a plant. He said that it needed some TLC, love and care. I'm pretty sure it's an elephant ear. He like really takes the soil and he's like actually like re-potting this. You can tell he knows what he's doing because you have to aerate the soil. Exactly. We just got a vegetable garden. It's super enjoyable. No, seriously, the cucumbers just, they take off, bro. What happened to him? We got cherry tomatoes, basil, cucumber. What else do we got? What is going on? No, the cucumbers spread crazy. They're hard to control.

So Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons threw out a ceremonial first pitch at the Angels game. They both threw out one and then Gene Simmons threw out three more after the first one. So he threw four and they were pretty good. What do you mean four pitches? He threw out four ceremonial first pitches and he asked to throw a five and the Angels said, no, we're not gonna let you throw five pitches. Out of respect for Jaden Daniels, who is currently still in a legal battle with LSU over his number. And this has become a huge meme ever since this entire thing came out. Where people were like, oh, you know, we're gonna switch to doing high fours instead of high fives in honor of Jaden Daniels. Out of respect to like, everybody's trolling him. I have not seen more memes and more people make fun of a individual than this guy. Like I saw a picture of Deion Sanders who famously only has like four toes and it was like, hey, Deion Sanders is showing respect to Jaden Daniels. Everybody, anything, it's super good. Coming up.

That's Celsius. How am I supposed to know that? We do Fahrenheit here. They do Celsius all over Europe. Why do we gotta have another version of degrees outside America? But you thought the takeaway was he was swimming in freezing weather. At no point did you think, wow, Saudi Arabia, it's weird that it's so cold in the middle of summer. He thought Paris and Germany were the same place. I'll never forget that. Well, we're in America, so whatever. But that's in the middle of the desert. Saudi Arabia? No? Nothing? I feel like you're trying to say I'm dumb. That's what you're trying to do. No.
