Time to Tap-In, y'all! We've circled Gen-Z nation and here's this week's hottest stories:

In a rare Benson Boone outing, the 23-year-old showed off his rock-solid bod this week ... He posted this shameless gym selfie with his swolemate (also a handsome fella), but we gotta know: Should Benson keep his slippery shots solely for stage appearances, or are y'all down for what he's puttin' out on socials 🔥?!

Ariana Grande had fans and followers hootin' n' hollerin' when she shared this mirror pic, a total brunette baddie! With "Wicked: For Good" gearing up for its highly anticipated debut, some are puzzled by her ditching Glinda's signature blonde 'do. The question is: Are y'all wanting Ariana back in her pop star era -- on the mic-droppin' 'Popular' pop music?! ... or should she go back to Blondiana for the 'Wicked' press tour?!

10:35 AM PT -- Julia Fox just addressed her reasoning behind her choice of controversial Halloween outfit this year, posting a statement on IG …

"I’m dressed as Jackie Kennedy in the pink suit. Not as a costume, but as a statement. When her husband was assassinated, she refused to change out of her blood-stained clothes, saying, ‘I want them to see what they’ve done.’ The image of the delicate pink suit splattered with blood is one of the most haunting juxtapositions in modern history. Beauty and horror. Poise and devastation.

"Her decision not to change clothes, even after being encouraged to, was an act of extraordinary bravery. It was performance, protest, and mourning all at once. A woman weaponizing image and grace to expose brutality. It’s about trauma, power, and how femininity itself is a form of resistance. Long live Jackie O ♥️"

Julia Fox looked back to the John F. Kennedy assassination for inspiration for her Halloween costume ... dressing up as Jackie Kennedy in her blood-soaked pink suit.

Ya gotta see Julia's costume from The Cursed Amulet's Halloween party in New York City Thursday night ... she channeled the way JFK's widow looked in 1963 after the president's head got blown off in Dallas, Texas.

Jackie was wearing a pink Chanel suit and a pink pillbox hat as she sat next to JFK in a motorcade driving through the city ... and her outfit was sprayed with blood when her husband was assassinated. She held him in her arms as he died.

John Salley is certain Chauncey Billups didn't help rig card games to make the mob money ... saying this week he's "100 percent" sure his good friend was framed.

The NBA legend didn't make many bones about it during an airport chat on Thursday ... insisting there's just no way the suspended Portland Trail Blazers head coach knew of any kind of illegal activity at poker games he attended.

"You think Chauncey's got time to make [an X-ray] table?" Salley said. "Like, 'Hmm, we're going to make this table and we're going to go --?' No."

News that Gayle King is getting booted from "CBS Mornings" is news to her ... because she says the network powers that be are singing a much different tune in her office!

TMZ caught up with GK as she left her NYC studio Friday morning, and she tells us from what she's hearing, she's not only doing a great job, but she's well-liked at CBS ... and she says the feeling's mutual -- she loves what she does and the coworkers with whom she does it.

While she doesn't flat-out deny that she could be leaving the morning news show ... she says the chatter in the building is not matching up with the reports in the media.

Comedian Theo Von is once again addressing the Department of Homeland Security using a video of him to promote ongoing deportations ... vulnerably revealing he was "scared" after DHS published the clip.

Theo speaks about the situation on Friday's "This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von" episode ... telling guest Andrew Santino it was "scary" seeing how much hate he got after the promo video made its rounds. He notes the government shared the clip not long after Charlie Kirk was murdered, and he was therefore "paranoid" ... insinuating he thought his life could potentially be in danger.

ICYMI, the video was created by DHS in late September and starts with Theo making a sarcastic joke about deportation ... and then shows federal agents detaining people. It later touts the numbers of immigrants kicked out of America under President Donald Trump.

Teyana wasn’t the only showstopper -- Emmy-nominated Meghann Fahy and Oscar nominee Monica Barbaro also turned heads, bringing their own brand of red-carpet glam to the mix.

Offset seemingly set his sights on Cardi B and Stefon Diggs in his latest song ... appearing to shade the hell outta the new couple with some vicious lyrics.

Offset released his newest project, "Haunted by Fame," on Friday ... and one track in particular has listeners talking.

In "NO SWEAT," the former Migos MC raps about someone leaving for a worse option ... and it's fair to assume he's comparing himself to the NBA's GOAT.

Christian "King" Combs is taking a page from dad Diddy's playbook -- his Halloween one, that is.

Check out the clip -- King dressed up as the Joker Thursday night just 3 years after his famous father went as Batman's rival while celebrating spooky season. Only difference is ... King went as Jared Leto's version of the infamous villain ... while Diddy took on the 'Dark Knight' rendition.

The model and rapper pulled up to the Body After Dark Halloween Party at Members Restaurant & Club in Los Angeles with his longtime girlfriend, Raven Tracy. She was on theme by going as none other than Harley Quinn.

Bobby Lytes decided to have some fun this Halloween ... at Lil Nas X's expense, as the reality star reenacted the embattled rapper's bizarre nude romp -- complete with the TMZ watermark!!!

As you know, we broke the story back in August ... and Bobby feels enough time has passed to crack a joke.

The costume didn't take much, but Bobby did check all the boxes with the tighty-whities and Blanco cowboy boots to match, erratic behavior, and he also nailed LNX's ad-libs ... "Yesssss, honey" and "I am serving ass!!!"

Gervonta Davis was sued on Thursday by a woman who alleged the star boxer roughed her up at a popular Miami strip club earlier this week.

The plaintiff -- Courtney Rossel -- claimed she and Davis had a private, intimate relationship over the last five months ... but she said it was anything but a smooth ride with the pugilist.

She wrote in the lawsuit -- which was filed in a Miami-Dade County court -- he beat her up and threatened her on several different occasions.

Megyn Kelly’s got thoughts ... about nipples, apparently, as she's calling out Sydney Sweeney’s latest risqué 'fit for giving her bad Kim Kardashian flashbacks.

The controversial commentator dished on her show, slamming Kim for oversharing and ruining what's actually sexy -- i.e., something that should be saved for men -- and claimed Sydney’s boobtastic see-through gown crossed into that same TMI danger zone.

Megyn explained she wants her daughter to see amazing women like Sydney and know you can be sexy and classy at the same time ... and not-so-humbly referenced her own GQ cover at 40 -- MK wore a slip dress -- as proof.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother Sky Roberts and sister-in-law Amanda Roberts broke down in tears as they celebrated the news that Prince Andrew is losing his royal titles.

Watch their emotional interview on BBC's "Newsnight" ... Sky can barely keep it together as he acknowledges "this normal girl from a normal family has taken down a prince."

He says it means "everything" to him, and certainly to Virginia, who accused Andrew of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor after being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein -- first in a 2019 interview and then in a 2021 lawsuit. She and Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022.
