Diddy was admitted to a New York hospital last week after experiencing pain with his knee … TMZ has confirmed.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the music mogul was taken to a Brooklyn hospital from the Metropolitan Detention Center on Thursday.

According to the NY Post, Diddy was at the hospital for a medical scan (MRI) because his “knee was bothering him.” The rapper reportedly has a history of knee issues.

As you know, Diddy is currently awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Jon Stewart‘s got a message for sports gamblers … don’t do it — or don’t lose, at least — because it forced him to get decked out in Philadelphia Eagles gear, pissing off his hometown crowd in Madison Square Garden.

Jon was rocking Eagles green from head to toe — even had a bucket lid — Saturday night at MSG, where he was watching his Knicks take on the Lakers. Normally, Jon’s a beloved Knicks faithful, but some boos rained down on him … due to his wardrobe.

He can thank Knicks star Jalen Brunson for all this — they bet on last month’s Eagles-Giants game, and since the G-Men came up short, Jon had to pay up … in a Saquon Barkley jersey, no less! Jalen made sure to come over and compliment Jon’s fit. 😂

It was a much different game night experience for Amy Schumer … who got tons of applause for her stint with the famed Knicks City Dancers.

They pulled her out of the crowd, and Amy pretended it was spontaneous … but the way she nailed the whole routine made it clear this was pre-planned. The crowd still loved it.

So, Amy gets the thrill of victory, and Jon … the agony of defeat.

Florence Mirsky — the mother of music producer Scott Storch‘s son — is doing her damndest to walk back the vile, racial slurs she hurled at valet workers … and now claims she was “targeted.”

Florence was leaving Boa Steakhouse Saturday night in WeHo, where she defended the outburst … during which she called the valet a “wet****” and added, “You guys rape and kill people.”

Well, good ol’ Flo says don’t believe your lyin’ eyes or ears … she’s no racist. She told the paparazzi, “It’s really crazy because my whole entire life I’ve loved Mexicans, Blacks, everything.”

She also claims she was “a target out of anger” when she went off last week on the valet workers. No, she didn’t explain any further.

Of course, Florence posted a video last week trying to explain the ugly incident … and claimed one of the valets had groped her prior to her dropping the slurs. When the photog asked her about that allegation, Florence abruptly stopped talking.
