We caught up with the comedian at LAX on Friday ... and we had to ask him -- from a professional comic's perspective -- about his thoughts on Sora-created videos featuring A.I.-MLK -- like the one of him in a WWE ring, or behind the counter at KFC, just to name a couple recent examples.

Rock says he draws the line at MLK ... saying he can see the humor in some of the videos depicting 2Pac and Biggie -- though they have legacies he doesn't want to see tarnished either -- but, the impactful civil rights leader is simply a bridge too far.

Denise Richards' saga with her estranged husband Aaron Phypers just got even more explosive ... Aaron is requesting half of the money she earns on OnlyFans, TMZ has learned.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Aaron alleges Denise makes $200K-$300K per month from photos she posted on OnlyFans ... and Aaron says he's entitled to half -- because he snapped the pics.

What's more ... he says he's dead broke and really needs the money to pay his rent and utilities ... a far cry from his married days when he claims he had access to joint accounts that held millions. But he now says Denise is freezing him out.

Neil deGrasse Tyson may be a astrophysics genius, but he tells TMZ he ain’t boarding Elon’s SpaceX rocket ... unless Musk sends his own bloodline up first ... as proof it won’t go kaboom!

We ran into Neil outside CBS Studios in NYC Friday... and he cracked Elon’s gotta blast his mom Maye off first to prove the rocket’s safe -- making it crystal clear ... he’s down to explore the cosmos, but only if there’s a guaranteed round trip.

Catch the full clip ... 'cause Neil also laid it out ... he’s not interested in doing the basic orbital joyride. He wants the real deal -- the Moon, Mars, an actual destination in the galaxy.

Bone-chilling audio captured the exact moment a control tower lost contact with a doomed private jet Thursday night ... seconds before the craft came crashing down in Michigan, killing all three people onboard.

In the audio, after a back-and-forth exchange between pilot and tower, you can hear the jet starts to fail ... with the panicked pilot yelling to the air traffic controller, "Stall, recovery! Stall, recovery!" as he fought to keep control.

50 Cent stepped into the party life this week for an exquisite new reason ... the hip hop megastar exclusively launched his Branson 505 Edition Cognac by Sire Spirits x Lalique -- a $25,000 affair!!!

Fiddy tells TMZ Hip Hop ... "This is about craftsmanship, culture, and giving back. We created something that’ll outlive all of us -- real art that tells a story, and every bottle helps someone else write theirs.”

Prince Andrew is voluntarily relinquishing his royal titles ... though he's still vehemently denying all of the scandalous accusations against him related to Jeffrey Epstein.

The senior royal announced the news in a prepared statement Friday ... writing that, in consultation with his brother King Charles and his other immediate family, it's become clear the allegations leveled against him have distracted from the work of British Royal Family.

He explains he has decided to put his family first once again -- just as he did when he stepped down from his duties five years ago -- and, so he will no longer use his honorifics.

Check out the pic ... as of yesterday, neither is anywhere to be found on the other's 'following' list.

'BB' fans will remember the pair ignited a showmance that quickly fizzled out thanks to Matt's sudden boot from the house. Makensy fared much better, placing second.

Saweetie is drawing the line and entering her lawyers into the chat ... a very gossipy chat, after a woman claiming to be her ex-road manager has been drilling the rapper online for days with drug abuse and prostitution allegations!!!

On Friday, Saweetie sent out a firm statement, which reads ...  “The recent accusations made about me are false, defamatory, and deeply disturbing. These claims misrepresent the facts and are solely aimed to damage my reputation."

Paul Skenes ain't pitching for a World Series title this year, but he's doing the next best thing ... enjoying a drink with Livvy Dunne on a boat in Europe!!

The Pittsburgh Pirates flamethrower was seen in a video on his girlfriend's Instagram page on Friday afternoon, making the most of his MLB offseason.

Brian McKnight is already declaring a victory in his defamation case against ex-wife Julie McKnight ... after she didn't appear in court.

Brian filed a motion for default judgment, and is waiting for the court to sign off to make his win official ... but that technicality didn't prevent Brian from celebrating.

Farrah Abraham’s teen daughter Sophia just took her goth game to bloody new heights ... sinking her style straight into a fresh set of fangs.

The ex-"Teen Mom" star whisked her 16-year-old to Vegas Thursday ... where Sophia sunk into custom composite bond fangs done at Vegas Smile Suite, perfectly timed for National Fang Day.

The mother-daughter duo kept the Vegas vibes rolling with a stop at local fave hibachi restaurant Volcano Grille -- and it was love at first bite for Sophia, who had extra reason to chomp down into her meal. Sophia used her new fangs to bite into the restaurant's signature oversized "Volcanoritto" hibachi burrito.

Hailey Bieber didn't actually throw shade at Selena Gomez in the cover story for WSJ. Magazine ... 'cause we've learned she was talking about Sephora brands, NOT the singer-actress.

Here's the deal ... during an interview with the outlet, Hailey said, "I think there is space for everybody. I don't feel competitive with people that I'm not inspired by."

Many fans online -- and, admittedly, TMZ as well -- thought she was shading Gomez by calling her uninspiring ... but, our sources say that's not the truth in any way, shape or form.

According to the "Queen & Slim" actress' lawyer, the two are in the process of negotiating a custody judgment themselves.
