Tana Mongeau is turning up the heat in the kitchen … and she’s not even using the stove.

Tana is serving up some seriously sexy new looks with a provocative photo shoot live from her kitchen … and ya gotta see the photos.

The boobs are out and the podcaster’s showing legs for days as she sits on the counter and seductively stares into the camera … and that’s just a taste of what she’s got in her hot shots pantry.

Too Short was dealt a tremendous loss last week … the rap legend’s brother was found murdered in their Oakland hometown — but he’s slowly getting back in the saddle!!!

TMZ Hip Hop chopped up with Too Short in West Hollywood Wednesday night, and while things are understandably heavy for him right now, he’s got to keep pushing.

He says his emotions are too raw to convey what he’s feeling properly but he felt he could bank on a bit of socialization to perk him up, so he stepped out to popular hotspot The Abbey with friends.

Short Dog’s brother Wayne was gunned down on January 29 during a botched robbery in his marijuana grow house.

Taylor Swift feels she was used by Blake Lively in her war with Justin Baldoni, and she resents Blake calling her one of her “dragons” and leveraging her name.

As we reported, there was a critical meeting at Blake and Ryan Reynolds‘ NYC penthouse with Justin to discuss a scene that Blake had rewritten for “It Ends with Us.” Justin has said the meeting got super heated, and he felt ambushed because Ryan and Taylor showed up.

But a well-connected source close to Taylor tells TMZ … Taylor came to Blake’s apartment at the time Blake told her to, not knowing anyone else would be there. In other words, Taylor had no idea there was a meeting going on with Justin.

The source goes on to say … Justin was about to leave after the 2-hour meeting as Taylor walked in, and she was introduced to him for the first and only time. We’re told all Taylor said to Justin was how excited she was to see the movie because he was her friend’s boss.

Our source says Taylor believes Blake timed her meeting with Justin so Taylor would arrive before he left and is baffled by Blake later characterizing her as her “dragon.” The source adds, “It’s weird to say that about a friend.”

Remember, Blake texted Justin after the meeting … referring to herself as Khaleesi from “Game of Thrones,” and Taylor and Ryan as her protective “dragons.”

And there’s more … the source says, “Taylor is also learning Blake has been inappropriately leveraging her name for a long time, like telling a young actress that Taylor ‘cast her,’ which simply did not happen.

TMZ dropped a new podcast Wednesday, “Two Angry Men,” in which Harvey asked Justin’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, about subpoenaing Taylor for a deposition. It’s easy to read between the lines, but one thing is clear … Taylor feels used.
