Dwyane Wade doesn’t have a single issue with the way LeBron James publicly beefed with Stephen A. Smith last week … in fact, he tells TMZ Sports he would have done the exact same thing if he were in the Lakers superstar’s shoes.
Bron, of course, ignited the feud with the ESPN commentator while the two were at Crypto.com Arena for L.A.’s March 6 tilt with the Knicks … after he had gotten upset over the way Stephen A. had previously spoken about Bronny James.

Video from the scene showed LeBron got inches from Smith’s nose — and yelled at him in an apparent effort to get him to stop being critical of his relationship with his oldest son.
When we got Wade out in New York City on Thursday to weigh in on the topic, he insisted he “loves” both guys … but he staunchly defended his old teammate in the matter.
He told us he actually had a talk with Smith following the altercation … and said to him, “I would have walked up on him the same way.”
For Smith’s part … he did seem to understand LeBron’s frustration — though he said on “First Take” the morning after the incident that he wished James had confronted him in a more private setting.

Wade also had a bunch more kind words to say about James during our chat in NYC — even suggesting that the NBA’s all-time leading scorer get a statue erected in a very prominent location.
Kelly Clarkson
Since I’ve Been Gone
… Absence From Show No Cause for Alarm

Updated
Kelly Clarkson‘s recent step back from her popular talk show isn’t a cause for alarm despite all the online rumors … TMZ has learned.
Here’s the deal … the singer-turned-TV personality has been noticeably absent from “The Kelly Clarkson Show” since early last week — disappearing suddenly just before a show and abruptly forcing actor Simu Liu into an impromptu hosting role.
KC returned for a couple episodes last week … but, she hasn’t been onstage since March 5 — and, it led to a whole lot of online speculation about her health.
In fact, many called on NBC — the ‘Clarkson Show’ network — to release a statement about her health … fearing the worst for the star.
However, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Kelly herself is completely fine. She’s been dealing with a personal matter that does not directly involve her.
We’re told she’ll be back in the studio — and on the air — tomorrow.
It’s not clear exactly what Kelly was dealing with … but, it sounds like she’s fine — and, we’ll have to wait and see if she addresses her absence.
Farrah Abraham

Farrah Abraham is just one day away from making her big career switch to comedy … and she’s been getting tips from some seasoned pros in the game!
We caught up with Farrah in between rehearsals for her big stand-up debut at the Spearmint Rhino New York — which, BTW, includes a lap dance for VIP ticketholders — and she revealed a major ‘SNL’ comedian is swinging by to show some love.
Catch the clip — ’cause while she’s keeping the ‘SNL’ name under wraps, she’s spilling on the other big industry insiders showing up … including a costar from her “Teen Mom” roots.
Despite this being her first rodeo, those pointers seem to be paying off — ’cause Farrah sounded like she knew exactly what she was doing when breaking down her prep for the big night to us.
TMZ.com
At the end of the day, Farrah says she’s not nervous at all — after everything she’s been through in the public eye, she’s got it all under control!
One thing that makes Farrah’s debut show stand out from the rest? It’s happening at an upscale gentlemen’s club, so there’s gonna be a whole lotta sexiness thrown into the mix!
Tank
Denzel & Jake Can Charge Whatever They Want
Makes Broadway Debut to Do the Same 🌟
Published
TMZ.com
Tank is the newest bright-eyed star on Broadway with his new role in Alicia Keys‘ “Hell’s Kitchen” and he’s learning and respecting everything about the process … including the ticket prices!!!
We spoke to Tank ahead of his big debut in ‘HK’ about the growing outrage in the NYC area … Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal‘s “Othello” going rate of nearly $1K per ticket!!!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
It’s no different than their box office draw as movie titans … Tank says both Denzel and Jake have earned the right to charge what they want, but audiences should still budget reasonably to partake in the theater arts!!!
The “Hell’s Kitchen” story is based on Alicia’s rough upbringing in the hard-nosed NY neighborhood, and Tank assures the gems shared in the script are invaluable.
Tank says he’s been rehearsing nonstop with the cast, so stage fright was never a concern.
He’ll be on the production for 3 months but tells us there’s a good chance he’ll renege on his album retirement … and he even thinks R. Kelly‘s audio challenge applied a lil’ pressure in the R&B world.
In the meantime, he’s in good hands with “Hell’s Kitchen” … the play already has a Tony, Drama Desk and Grammy Award to its name!!!
