TMZ On TV- 10/15/2026

Today on TMZ. Our TMZ DC guys got Abdul El-Sayed. I gotta say, he's kind of cheesy. Red hot cheese. Our TMZ DC guys, Jacob and Charlie, bro-ed down with Michigan senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed over some spicy popcorn. Bro-ing down means you're all having a good time. All I heard Jacob do was cough. I hate what I'm about to do right now. But it's not actually a hot day. I'm down. He did not cough. Yes, he did. The word behind the Kelly Clarkson drama is now $15 million. They clearly just want to keep this going. They didn't start this, so you and Charles each took a side. Kelly Clarkson is so wrong. Kelly Clarkson was done wrong. What did our voters say? Our voters sided with Kelly Clarkson. Stop, it is not a vote for Kelly. It is a vote for Charles over Harvey. No, Kelly's not on the ballot. Ben Affleck was on Subway Takes, and he says... You should never be photographed eating or smoking. This hasn't served me very well. But that's me! The Dunkin' and the Siggy's, dude. He said, there's pictures of me eating a burger. And the kind of subtext to me is, look what a . Katie Austin, Denise Austin's daughter. Katie just had a baby, and she posted this video. And it's just her mom doing workout moves with the baby. I absolutely love Denise Austin. Was she as big as, like, Jane Fonda? She's as big as Suzanne Somers. No way. He's a Thighmaster. Thighmasters are a thing. Are people still using them? Maybe I'll get that as a Christmas present for certain people. I see that. Alright. Thank you. Cheers. That's Michigan Senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit offering our TMZ DC guys some red hot popcorn which they can handle because they're big and strong. Sit down. Did we say big and strong? Because we meant weak and frail. But yes, they shared some popcorn and Gatorade as they bro-ed down. Can I just say, bro-ing down means you're all having a good time. All I heard Jacob do was cough. But it's not actually a hot dog. He's not that hot. I don't do heat. Clearly. It's hysterical at a convenience store gas station. They finally do shift to some, you know, kind of substantive topic. Jacob said that he has talked to one guy from Kalamazoo, Michigan. And the guy said, I don't think El-Sayed is going to be as progressive as he says he is because of his religion. What do you think about that, hearing that from 100% of the people that we polled? What a great sample size, one person. Honestly, he came up with a really good answer. It is because of my religious beliefs that I need an America where we believe in and protect the Constitution at all costs. And I want everybody to be able to live their best life simply as a function of who they are in a country where the federal government doesn't get used against you. And though some polling shows Al-Sayed has trouble connecting with black voters, the black voters at the gas station really liked him. Make sure you call everybody you know. You got 20 days left to vote. Right. You can't leave any stone unturned. I got about a thousand girls, so I'm calling everybody. Charlie goes, you just made TMZ, bro. He just made TMZ, man. He just made TMZ. So thanks, Abdul El-Sayed. We should address this. You know, I think it's because of our love for each other. You know, people think I'm a lesbian to this day. Kendall Jenner is finally addressing the lesbian rumors. I think at this point, they've been put to bed. Oh, no, no, no. They still exist. Do they really? Oh, stop it. So a new episode of the Kardashians just dropped and backstage at Paris Fashion Week with Cara Delevingne. She says she's not a lesbian. However, I think being a lesbian would be fun and amazing and easier. I don't know. Men suck. So Cara is a lesbian and they had a very close friendship for years. I know. I can attest to that. No, no, no. She can't. I disagree. Because if you have any tendencies and Cara Delevingne is there in front of you, you're going to pursue that. There are definitely a few glasses of wine deep. I've had so much wine. I'm obsessed with this. It's like truth serum. Okay, so if you had a hot tub sex with a woman, who would it be? You! Yes! I would be asleep. Brooklyn's getting more and more turned on. And Kendall says, too, by the way, I have nothing against having sex with Cara. You know what, but everybody... Shut up and let her talk! Never say never, right? Remember this mechanical bird at the Brooklyn Magic Shop that wasn't for sale when Kelly Clarkson wanted to buy it? Well, now it can be yours for the low, low price of $15 million! Wait a minute, it was $15,000? Technically, they said they'd sell an identical bird for $15,000, but never Molly because she's the store mascot. But now you can buy her. And before you say that's crazy, look what she can do. Okay, yeah, it's crazy. Justice for Kelly Clarkson. They didn't start this. Kelly Clarkson trashed this business. Now they're trying to capitalize on it. As they should. You're faulting them for that? I admire this business for doing that. This is a joke. It's equivalent to being like, this is priceless. A.K.A. not for sale. We'll see about that. But Kelly's not letting it bother her. Oh, but it's annoying. Kelly Clarkson performed yesterday in Las Vegas. She didn't say anything about it. At least lean into it, Kelly. Hold on, because what about this message to the magic shop? You had a chance to blue it. Sick burn is what we'd say if those weren't just her normal lyrics. Anywho. A lot of people are Team Kelly in this fight. A lot of people are defending her. Nobody's defending her. Wait, so you and Charles did, like, a story, like, you each took a side. What did our voters say? Our voters sided with Kelly Clarkson by a surprisingly narrow margin. 60-40, bro. Whoa. 60-40. That's not narrow. Stop, it is not a vote for Kelly. It is a vote for Charles over Harvey. He's going to win that one every time. So, thanks, Molly, for 15 million bucks. You better be able to fly us to Europe. Can I say, your face looks f***ing amazing. Thank you. Denise Richards says that we have our ex, Erin, to thank about why she came out with her facelift. Because she said when they were going through their divorce. My ex that I'm divorcing, he said something in court about it. Pleasantly so surprised, because there was media in there, that they didn't print it. But I figured, you know what, I think I just need to just be honest. and Allure, I did a piece on my facelift that I had done a year ago. So she told everyone about it, and everyone thanks her because she looks incredible. Yeah, but can I just ask, honestly? Yeah. So she thinks nobody would have known that she got a facelift if it... I know. I know. That's so mean! It's not mean. How about a before and after photo? Yeah. No, you don't know. Maybe she just, like, is refreshed. You just said, she looks incredible. It is day and night. I'm sorry. They say there's a natural divorce glow. So people would have said that. I'm so glad that I've been open about it. And all of a sudden, bloop, bloop. And you see the red lights are going. And you go, oh, man. That's Michael Douglas on the Joe Rogan Experience talking about the time he got pulled over with Danny DeVito. And they had, how do we say this? A little stash in the dash. Some cush in the cushions. Green in the machine? Few joints, few joints. That's it, yeah. So, what happened? He says he pulled over and Michael said he got out of the car and went back to talk to police. And when he came back, he checked in on Danny in the backseat and he's like, hey. Now you just look at him and said, where's the grass? Where's the tree? And Danny smiled, all his mouth was entirely this green muck, he swallowed all of them, you know. at the time. Danny had eaten all the joints. What? He'd eaten all the joints. Oh, to eliminate the evidence? No brownies or gummies required. Danny DeVito takes his weed raw. What a champ. Those Jersey Mike's commercials are hurting his pocket. No, they're not. Are you crazy? He's absolutely Shakespearean describing the emotions one feels when ordering a submarine sandwich. Anticipatory chewing, nerves pacing. Happy claps. You don't find him annoying in this one? No. In fact, it reminds me to go get a Jersey Mike. Exactly. So thanks, Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas. You're straight up geriatric gangsters. Hello. I want to be the first one to purchase. Khloe Kardashian used Apple Pay for the first time ever. She just released a new perfume line that's in Sephora. So she went to Sephora to buy the fragrance. She gets to the register and is like, oh, we need a credit card. and whoever's with her is like, how do I do that? And she could not figure it out. She was like, it's a big moment. 2026 is wild. It came out in 2014. Have you used it yet? Yes. Of course I know how to do it. My daughter had pointed out this great thing. How old you are depends how close you think you have to put your face to your phone to get Apple Pay to work. Really old people will do this with their face to try and open it up. I don't have a face thing. Oh, you don't have face ID? No, no, no. I think I did a face thing, but I don't... You open your phone with your password every time? Yeah. But it might be his previous teeth, so it might not work. 2026 is wild. Coming up... Chuck Lorre says his initial instinct to not cast Anna Faris in Mom was proven right. So he has this new book out called Sitcom. We're reading his memoir next month for the TMZ Book Club if you want to join. Really? I don't want him in my book club. TMZ, online and on your phone 24-7. Coming up... Joe Manganiello dishes all about his marriage to Sofia Vergara in his new book called Bloodlines, and he is coming out swinging. Be right back. And now, TMZ's Masterpiece Theater presents Ben Affleck giving his best advice to aspiring thespians. You should never be photographed eating or smoking. In the, like, ever? In your life, yeah. This hasn't served me very well. We were thinking it would've been more like take acting classes or something, but sure, that works too. And he should know because the only thing more synonymous with the name Ben Affleck than being an actor and director is his love for fast food or an old-fashioned cancer stick. They love the picture of me like in the drive-through eating a burger, like, and the kind of subtext to me is, look what an . He actually seems like a cool guy. Still, there's one problem. I don't like that your pictures sometimes overshadow your work. I don't like that either, brother. Just because I'm like carrying donuts. Yeah, don't remember Ben for his donuts, remember him for his work. Well, maybe not Pearl Harbor, but there's a lot of other ones. Plus, it's not like he's the kind of dude to let his personal life overshadow his filmmaking. Okay, maybe that one time. If you did Family Feud and say, what do you think of when you think of Ben Affleck? Number one is J-Lo. I don't think so. Matt Damon, Batman, I'm thinking of. It is Matt Damon and then J-Lo and then him hitting J-Lo's butt in the Jenny from the Block video. I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the Block. Oh, is that just me? You'd probably prefer you said Good Will Hunting or something, but that was a very special moment. We'll do our best to remember your work, but that unfortunately includes Cheatly Do Good Fun. I started smoking at age 40, because of you. The lawyer in the Cornell 7 case for Jane Doe is accusing another lawyer of leaking documents to TMZ, More specifically, one of your buddies from your podcast, Two Ingram Men, Mark Garagos. So Jufa thinks that, I assume he's talking about Tenny Garagos, Mark's daughter. Who is representing one of the Frat Brothers. And the claim is that, I guess, Tenny is giving stuff to her dad, and her dad is then giving it to you when you sit down to do your podcast. And you say what to that? And what is your response, sir? Okay, all right. It's rich for him to say because he's also leaking stuff. He says he hasn't leaked any Title IX documents. He's saying that's all coming from the other side, their investigation. He's leaking other things in the case. That is painting a picture. I can't wait to do the podcast with Garagos this week. It's like a debrief after drama. He's saying, though, if you gag everyone, they still have proxies who will talk because Mark Garagos would not be gagged. Mark Garagos isn't part of the case. Correct, and he's saying... He doesn't give us crap. It's just ridiculous. This is not the first time either. Remember when the Diddy thing went down? Oh, Brandon runs our podcast. You know what he does. He's slow. I don't know anything. Yeah, he won't say anything, and then you just have to carry the episode the whole time. I carry him. Yeah, I know. Anna Faris was the wrong person for the show Mom, according to the show's creator, Chuck Lorre. So he has this new book out called Sitcom. It's a memoir about his life in sitcoms. Chuck is the creator of many successful shows, including Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory, And one of his popular sitcoms, Mom, starred Anna Faris and Allison Janney. It was about these two women, mother and daughter, going through their sobriety journey. It was very successful, lasting eight seasons. Chuck Lorre said his initial instinct to not cast Anna Faris in Mom was proven right. In his book, Chuck writes, I initially said no. I wasn't sure Anna would be appropriate for this kind of material. And he said her quitting the show before the series ended ultimately proved him right. Wait, for how long was she on? For seven seasons. And Chuck's memoir also says as the years went by it became apparent that my initial reluctance to hire Anna was in fact correct So why is he trashing her? I don't know and neither does Anna because sources close to her say he's entitled to his story But people are saying taking a shot at her while he's promoting a book feels beneath him But will the average reader fall for a promotional stunt like this? We're reading his memoir next month for the TMZ book club if you want to join really I don't want him in my book club he doesn't really read he skims and then we go remember this part and he goes that wasn't in my book that is not true rather than saying you missed a part you say it wasn't in my book What books some of you are okay to skim through Joe Manganiello is coming out swinging against his ex-wife Sofia Vergara in his new book so joe's book came out this week it's called bloodlines and He dishes all about his marriage to Sofia Vergara and he basically said for a very long time the marriage was over But they stayed together publicly and the very last moment he sat with her He said she let me know that in her opinion No one was gonna love me when they found out the full extent of what I had Talking about his sickness He had been battling a very serious autoimmune disease like pretty much during their entire marriage If she said that that's pretty horrific It was a very serious disease. I need to hear from Sofia. Why do you need to hear from Sofia? Because this is all from him. We're told that he felt like this was his time to tell his truth. Did anyone want to know his truth? I did. I wanted to read it. You did? I looked up this book's sales on Amazon. 25 in biographies, number one in immune system books. It's the category ranking number one in immune system books. I didn't know there was such. Neither did I. Coming up...

Yeah, she still looks incredible. She's 69 years old. She has some of the most fun workout videos. Was she as big as like Jane Fonda and Suzanne Somers? She wasn't as big as Jane, but she was huge. She's as big as Suzanne Somers. No way. I don't know. As the Thighmaster. The Thighmaster is everything. Ooh, chef, that's what we should get for the office. That's a good idea. I know.
