Sex

Republicans are shooting off at Tim Walz, trying to clown the Democratic VP nominee for using IVF by carrying around cups of fake semen ... yeah, we're serious.

Pictures have hit the internet of people outfitted in MAGA merch -- pictures of Donald Trump, bald eagles and American flags plastered on the chest -- and, in their hands they're holding sperm sample cups with J.D. Vance's face stickered on the front.

Next to his face, the cups read, "J.D. Vance Full Family Kit" ... basically saying the senator from Ohio has some strong swimmers -- after all, he's already got three children.

Volleyball star Steven van de Velde -- a convicted child rapist -- broke down in tears during his first interview since his controversial inclusion in this month's Olympics ... and he admitted he nearly quit over the backlash he received.

The 30-year-old Netherlands athlete -- who was jailed in 2016 for raping a 12-year-old girl when he was 19 -- had dodged media throughout his time in Paris ... but on Tuesday, he faced microphones, and got emotional.

He explained to reporters that the consistent boos and jeers he received while competing in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower at the Games affected him ... and he had moments where he wanted to pull out.

Gina Gershon knows all about playing rough in the sack ... with Tom Cruise, no less, and she's sharing an awkward tale about her first ever sex scene with her "Cocktail" costar.

The actress had mixed emotions as she recalled the intimate on-camera moment during her appearance Wednesday on "Watch What Happens Live," where she gleefully shared behind-the-scenes factoids from filming with Tom in the '80s.

As she put it ... TC was a great scene partner and totally took care of her during her first time faking sex on cam, except for one catastrophic moment. Gina warned Tom she was "very ticklish" and told him not to go there when they filmed the scene.

Hollywood actor Gabriel Olds -- known for his roles in "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" -- is behind bars, and facing multiple sexual assault charges.

LAPD says officers took Olds into custody Wednesday in response to the L.A. County D.A.'s office hitting him last month with 7 felony sexual assault charges.

Authorities say, in January, a woman came forward claiming the actor sexually assaulted her at her L.A. home ... and then 2 more adult victims came forward with similar stories dating back to 2013.

12:42 PM PT -- Kehlani and Javaughn Young-White have been ordered to attend mediation to discuss custody/visitation and assist in developing a mutually agreeable parenting plan.

Kehlani's baby daddy, Javaughn Young-White, has just filed a paternity petition ... and he's gunning for full custody of their daughter, Adeya Nomi.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ ... Javaughn says he believes Kehlani's been mixed up with a cult for the past few years, which is influencing how she raises their 5-year-old daughter.

Kamala Harris' husband's seemingly confirming infidelity rumors ... writing a statement where he doesn't outright deny he cheated on his first wife.

Here's the deal ... reports from conservative media figures have swirled for a while now, claiming Doug Emhoff cheated on his first wife -- Kerstin Emhoff -- with his daughter's nanny, and also got her pregnant.

Daily Mail did some digging and wrote their own exposé ... citing a close friend of the nanny's who they say confirmed the story to them.

An out-of-control passenger is accused of causing a total disruption up in the air -- forcing a plane to make an emergency landing ... this after he allegedly hit on a flight attendant and tried to yank open the door mid-flight.

Feds have ID'd the alleged troublemaker as Eric Nicholas Gapco from Delanco, NJ ... who you can see in video footage captured by fellow passengers seemingly losing it on the American Airlines flight from Seattle to Dallas earlier this month.

You can see a shirtless Gapco wildly shouting as crew members scramble to restrain him near the bathroom. Panicked passengers also rush in, trying to calm the escalating chaos.

Rising country star Megan Moroney is speaking out about Morgan Wallen dating rumors for the first time -- this two years after they first hit the fan ... and she says it wasn't serious.

Megan spilled the tea on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast Wednesday ... saying she and Morgan were never in an exclusive relationship -- and they were basically just banging after meeting in 2020 before the pandemic hit.

As for keeping their fleeting fling hush-hush at the time, Megan chalked it up to Morgan's super private nature ... and it sounds like MM herself is pretty low-key too.

A human trafficking sting operation at San Diego Comic-Con resulted in more than a dozen arrests and nearly as many victims recovered ... this according to Cali's top attorney.

According to officials ... law enforcement personnel masqueraded as sex buyers to identify and contact trafficking victims -- while also posting online ads to solicit and then arrest alleged Johns and would-be sex traffickers.

J.D. Vance fired off a lighthearted joke about him and a couch -- and considering all the (unfounded) rumors about him and furniture ... you couldn't write a better script.

The vice presidential candidate spoke in Nevada Tuesday at a rally ... and during his remarks, he mentioned his wife of a decade, Usha -- implying she's not big on public speaking.

In fact, Vance says, if he calls her up to the stage -- she'll probably make him sleep on the couch ... an off-the-cuff comment that drew a few chuckles from the crowd, but which had the internet cracking up en masse.

12:03 PM PT -- R. Kelly's attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, came on 'TMZ Live' Tuesday to discuss her client's SCOTUS filing in more depth -- and she made a pretty compelling argument.

One other interesting thing ... Bonjean says she actually thinks this current version of the Supreme Court is perfect to hear R. Kelly's case -- and it sounds like believes they'd actually side with him if they were to take it up on their docket ... politics be damned!!!

R. Kelly is asking the United States Supreme Court to throw out his convictions for possession of child porn and inducing minors to have sex – claiming his alleged acts occurred decades ago and the charges were therefore barred by the statute of limitations.

Here's the deal ... when R. Kelly was accused in 2020 of possessing child pornography and engaging in sexual acts with underage girls way back in the mid to late-1990s, he argued the statute of limitations had already run its course.

But, prosecutors argued a 2003 law – called the PROTECT Act – made the statute of limitations indefinite for child sex crimes.

Sen. J.D. Vance is getting roasted 'cause people think he had sex with a couch, and while it might sound funny ('cause it is) ... one sex ed expert says all the jokes are shaming folks who do, in fact, like to bang furniture.

Here's the deal ... someone on X made a joke suggesting Donald Trump's running mate might have humped an inside-out latex glove shoved between 2 couch cushions, as described in a fake description of his NYT bestselling memoir, 'Hillbilly Elegy.'

Like we said, nothing like that is really in his book, but the post went viral anyway, and J.D.'s been ridiculed ever since. Thing is ... while most of us might be laughing, the mockery is actually harmful to a community of folks legitimately turned on by sex with objects ... and that's according to renowned doctor, Laura Berman.

Comic-Con attendees looking for a little sexy time over the phone are in for a treat ... 'cause a phone sex line's offering to fulfill their fantasies -- even cosplay-related ones!

1-800-PHONESEX put out a new ad on their X account ... telling those heading to Comic-Con that ladies are happy to keep them company during the long weekend.

And, apparently just about any fantasy -- including "Dungeons & Dragons" fantasy, if that's your thing -- is on the table ... 'cause the company writes it's ready to fulfill all sorts of cosplay dreams.

"The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening is getting dragged to court ... as he's being sued over an alleged sexual assault involving two people who worked for him and his wife.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Giavanna Scotto claims she used to work as Matt's house manager at his Santa Monica estate a few years back, and she says complaints about sexual harassment at the hands of a fellow coworker fell on deaf ears.

In her suit, Scotto claims the sexual harassment started early in her tenure ... she says a male coworker aggressively grabbed her butt and breasts, and kissed her on the mouth multiple times ... all without her consent, she alleges.

Dutch volleyball star Steven van de Velde, a convicted child rapist, is slated to compete in the Paris Olympics this week ... and the IOC is now facing serious pressure to investigate how he was able to be included in the Games despite his disgraced past.

Van de Velde allegedly raped a 12-year-old back in 2014 -- when he was 19. Authorities claimed he initially met the girl online -- and then flew from Amsterdam to London a short time later to have sexual relations with her -- this despite him being aware of her age. In 2016, he was convicted of rape and sentenced to four years in prison.

However, after serving 12 months behind bars in Britain, he was transferred to the Netherlands, where he was resentenced. Roughly a month later, he was released. Following his time served, he told a local media outlet he was not a pedophile.
