Rapper Maxo Kream can get back to rolling in peace ... he cut a deal with prosecutors and got the criminal case against him stemming from a traffic stop in Texas last July dropped!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained docs signed by a judge on Friday, Nov. 7, showing the case has been dismissed ... thanks to a deal with prosecutors arranged by his legal team.

Maxo had been charged with unlawful carrying of guns by a registered gang member after police say they found 2 in the vehicle on July 7 ... but now the case has been dropped in exchange for the rapper forfeiting the guns and agreeing to some community service and a gun safety class.

One of the men involved in the bizarre Florida pub shooting -- where a farmer allegedly opened fire over an argument about how many eggs chickens can lay -- says the gunman was super paranoid ... and took an honest question the wrong way.

Tyler McHargue joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and explained how a harmless discussion about egg-laying hens turned into gunfire and multiple arrests early Tuesday morning.

Tyler says he was out with friends celebrating a birthday when they met Peter Riera at Harpers Pub in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Riera is the man cops say opened fire outside the pub following the argument.

Delonte West was administered the potentially life-saving drug, Narcan, before being put in handcuffs and arrested earlier this week, TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... the 42-year-old former NBA player was taken into custody in Fairfax County, Virginia, on Monday, after the local police department received a call for a man who was found unconscious and not breathing.

Our sources tell us West was breathing when cops and EMS arrived ... and at some point was administered the Naloxone spray, an opioid antagonist, which rapidly reverses the effects of opioids, out of an abundance of caution.

Frank Grillo thinks the world is ready for an A.I. hero on the big screen ... 'cause he argues humans ain't fixing the world on their own!

We caught up with the actor at LAX on Thursday ... and we asked him about his upcoming film "Override" -- in which he will play an A.I. "synthetic angel," according to Variety.

Grillo says he believes the world's ready for such a hero because we aren't "making it happen" in terms of saving the world at this point.

Y'all ready to Tap-In?! Gen-Z nation popped off this week, and we've done the lord's work just for you ... here are the hottest stories:

Timothée Chalamet blessed the cover of Vogue and in the interview he disclosed he wants kiddos! While the "Willy Wonka" star didn't directly say he would reproduce his talented gene pool with Kylie Jenner, he candidly sounded off about an un-named celeb who bragged about not having kids. TC feels otherwise and wants to bring life into this world! We gotta know:

Breakout star Mason Thames has the looks, and his superstar power has landed him in the same playing field as Hollywood icon Jim Carrey.

Check it out -- Thames scored three No. 1 box office hits in a single year with films "How to Train Your Dragon," "Black Phone 2," and "Regretting You." The last person to achieve this record was Jim Carrey in 1994, with "The Mask," "Dumb and Dumber" and "Ace Ventura."

Donald Trump just made Darryl Strawberry's year -- the President of the United States has pardoned the New York Mets legend in his 1995 tax evasion case.

The three-time World Series champ revealed the news on Friday ... expressing his gratitude in a detailed Instagram post. He revealed POTUS personally called him on Thursday afternoon to inform him of the clemency.

"Yesterday I was home caring for my wife as she recovered from surgery, when my phone kept ringing relentlessly," Strawberry said.

Andrew Zimmern is being a Scrooge about Christmas, but it's not what you think ... he's just a big fan of Thanksgiving, and thinks the holiday is getting the short end of the wishbone.

We got the celebrity chef in New York City and our photog asked him about all the Christmas advertisements and decorations going up in the first week of November.

Andrew says it's part of a bigger problem in America ... holidays don't get their due. He says Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all deserve their own moment, and we shouldn't start preparing for one until the other is over.

11:41 AM PT -- Mark's Brother Nick Sanchez Jr., on behalf of the Sanchez family, tells TMZ Sports ... "It's been a long month for Mark as he continues to recover from serious injuries while also grieving the loss of a close friend. While the recent news — and its timing — is understandably disappointing, our priority remains his continued healing and recovery. Mark deeply values his time at FOX and the exceptional colleagues he’s had the privilege to work with. Those relationships are meaningful and will endure."

A month after Mark Sanchez was involved in a near-fatal fight while in Indianapolis to call an NFL game for FOX, the company has handed the quarterback-turned-broadcaster his pink slip, TMZ Sports has learned.

A FOX Sports spokesperson tells us ... "We can confirm that Mark Sanchez is no longer with the network. There will be no further comment at this time."

We broke the story in early October -- Sanchez, in town to call the Colts vs. Raiders football game, was involved in a bizarre altercation where he allegedly attacked a 69-year-old delivery driver ... prompting the man to stab Mark in self-defense, nearly killing him.

The nominees for the 2026 Grammy Awards are officially in ... and it's nothing short of a powerhouse lineup, featuring artists like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Kendrick Lamar -- and Bad Bunny leading the charge!

The Recording Academy revealed the nominations Friday morning ... with a group of past Grammy-winners helping make the big announcement -- including Lizzo, Sam Smith, Brandi Carlile, Doechii, KAROL G and more.

In the major categories ... Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Tyler, the Creator, Lady Gaga, and Leon Thomas are just a few of the stars who scored nominations for Album of the Year -- while Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Doechii, and Bruno Mars got the nod for Record of the Year.

The 2026 Grammy nominations just dropped ... and as it turns out, "Golden" is still going "up, up, up" -- 'cause the smash "KPop Demon Hunters" hit is a finalist for "Song of the Year!!"

The tune, written by EJAE (who voices Rumi in the song) and Mark Sonnenblick, has been sitting comfortably at the top of the Billboard charts for months ... so it's no surprise it's getting even more recognition.

"Golden" is joined by Rosé and Bruno Mars' "APT." as the first two songs in K-pop to ever be considered for "Song of the Year" at the Grammys ... or any of the big four categories for that matter.

Alex Cooper says Taylor Swift opened her eyes sexually as a teenage girl ... and it's all thanks to one album.

Alex hopped on the "In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele" podcast this week and explained how Taylor was her "sexual awakening for women."

The way Alex tells it ... she was growing up in Pennsylvania when Taylor's "Fearless" album came out in 2008, and the songs changed her life.

Bhad Bhabie’s serving up drama again -- but this time, it’s not the messy kind ... it’s the smokin’ hot kind, as she lights up IG with some seriously sizzling snaps!

See for yourself ... the rapper flaunted her tattooed curves in a tight white corset and matching hot pants, striking some seriously scandalous poses that has IG in a chokehold.

As you can see, BB was feelin’ herself big time ... her white-hot 'fit perfectly popping against that deep, bronzed glow.

One thing about women ... they always show up and show out! Case in point -- the star-studded turnout at the 2025 WIF (Women in Film) Honors in L.A..

The Thursday night red carpet was stacked with female star power -- and inside, Jane Fonda took the stage to present her namesake honor, the Jane Fonda Humanitarian Award, to Jamie Lee Curtis ... proving the night was all about women lifting women.

Another day, another fan who doesn’t know boundaries ... this time, one shameless concertgoer took things way too far by reaching up to grab Halsey’s butt -- mid-performance!

As you can see, Halsey was performing "Is There Somewhere" in Washington, D.C., earlier this week when the unidentified fan in the crowd reached dangerously close to her thigh ... then brazenly slid a hand under her leather skirt, copping a quick feel in front of everyone.

The disturbing up-close clip -- shot from right behind the creep -- shows a gloved hand, presumably security, finally stepping in to swat away the paw ... but TBH, it takes way too long to happen.
