Starting out on "TMZ Live," Charles and Courtney got into the explosive allegations of grooming that Lala Kent hurled at Tom Sandoval on this week's episode of "Vanderpump Rules" ... this in defense of Rachel Leviss, who was caught in the middle of Scandoval.

Lala got in Tom's face during the show ... and there were strong reactions on our end too.

Next up, we got "TMZ on TV" ... where we were yet again discussing Dakota Johnson continuing to trash her superhero movie "Madame Web" -- this after a brutal press run.

Dakota says she'll never do another film like it again ... and the feeling's probably mutual from the studio here.

Lastly, we arrive on "TMZ Sports" ... with the guys discussing Ryan Garcia's tumultuous week.
