Bill Belichick's first year at UNC has been nothing to cheer about ... but at least Jordon Hudson's got him covered in that dept. -- The Tar Heels' head coach was a supportive boyfriend at her competition over the weekend.

Photos of the 73-year-old at the Cheer Extreme All-Stars event in Raleigh have been making rounds on social media ... observing all the action as Hudson suited up for Code Black -- a team based in the Tar Heel state.

Belichick -- who was rocking a grey sweatshirt -- was snapped on the sidelines as Hudson did her thing. If you're curious, the whole routine is provided below.

Zach Bryan is spilling it all ... revealing he’s been sober for two months after battling some heavy mental health demons.

In an emotional IG post Tuesday, Zach said going from a decade in the military to suddenly being thrown into the spotlight messed with him more than he realized ... and it took a 20-day solo motorcycle trip across the country for him to finally see he needed real help.

The country singer said he was stuck in this constant state of discontent -- always reaching for alcohol, not because he liked it, but because he was trying to fill some kind of black hole inside him.

Karen Read -- the Boston woman acquitted of killing her police officer boyfriend this year -- is suing several of the witnesses in the high-profile trial.

Read filed suit Monday against eight people who testified against her -- including the lead investigator, his two former supervisors, and five people who were present at the 2022 party that ended with John O'Keefe's death.

Read was twice tried for murder in the death of O'Keefe -- her Boston cop boyfriend ... she was accused of striking him with her SUV on the night of a snowstorm ... his body was found in a snowbank in the front yard of a house where the couple and others had been drinking hours earlier. She was ultimately acquitted of the murder and manslaughter charges ... but was found guilty of operating a vehicle under the influence.

Ariana Grande had Jimmy Fallon flying off the handle with her wicked wand skills while promoting "Wicked: For Good" on 'The Tonight Show' Tuesday evening.

Check out the clip -- she told Jimmy she's a bit rusty ... and then effortlessly twirled her wand around, totally impressing the audience. It seems like playing Glinda certainly changed Ariana for good -- at least in the wand department!

The pop star and actress had a ball of a time with Jimmy on 'The Tonight Show,' where they also performed a medley of famous duets ... including but not limited to "For Good" from "Wicked," Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s "Ain’t No Mountain High Enough," Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s “Shallow,” Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine" and "APT." by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars. Talk about talent!

As you know, Ariana and with her "Wicked" costars are currently promoting the sequel to 2024's film. They all reunited to create a new rap for 'The Tonight Show' on Monday, playing off their viral video from last year, which summarized the musical's storyline.

It hasn't been all fun and games, though ... last week, a crazed fan nearly tackled Ariana on the red carpet at the movie's Singapore premiere. He has since been charged with being a public nuisance and reportedly sentenced to 9 days in jail.

Pete Davidson and his pregnant girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, both say sparks flew fast ... so fast, she told him on their first date he’d be the father of her kids -- and he fully agreed.

The couple participated in a Q&A for Bumble on Wednesday, where they were asked, "When did you realize this could be something real?"

Elsie says ... "When we went on our first date, like we went out to dinner for the first time, I was like, 'Don't think that I'm crazy, but I just know that you’re going to be the father of my children.’”

Bronny James has left the nest, according to his dad, LeBron, who revealed his oldest child moved into his own place ... and joked that his son has been ghostin' him ever since.

The Lakers superstar mentioned Bronny, 21, had vacated the James family home when a reporter asked about his son's growth in the NBA after Tuesday's game in Los Angeles.

"It's been great to see and to watch," James said.

Dylan Efron lit up the stage on "Dancing with the Stars" Tuesday night -- but it was his brother, Zac Efron, who stole the show while sitting in the audience!

That's right ... Dylan's big bro Zac made it to the ballroom to watch him perform an energetic tango to "I Would Die 4 U" with his partner, Daniella Karagach. Zac sat with the bros' baby sister Olivia on his lap in the audience.

The hunky actor also had fans cracking up online after the judges gave Dylan an impressive 27 out of 30 score ... and he appeared to ask his mom, Starla Baskett, if those were good numbers.

David Geffen and his estranged husband David Armstrong are less than a week away from being officially single following a nasty divorce battle.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the exes will be declared legally single -- and their marriage will be officially terminated -- on Nov. 24.

But ... that doesn't mean they're washing their hands of each other quite yet -- a determination in spousal support, property division and attorney fees is still being worked out and will be finalized at a later date. Notably, court docs TMZ obtained earlier this month show both parties entered into a written agreement regarding their property and partnership.

Tragedy in Patagonia, Chile ... 5 tourists died after getting caught in a sudden blizzard at Torres del Paine National Park.

Chile’s forestry agency (CONAF) confirmed Tuesday that two Mexican tourists, two Germans, and one Brit were found dead after getting hit with insanely intense weather -- crazy winds, heavy snow, and freezing temps.

CONAF also said four other tourists were found alive.

A devastating gas explosion in a neighborhood near Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium left one man badly injured and forced about 40 residents to evacuate their homes ... and harrowing footage from the scene shows just how violent the blast was.

Just weeks after Cristiano Ronaldo said he'd love to meet President Donald Trump, the international soccer superstar got his wish -- making his way to the White House for a black-tie dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.

The Portuguese striker and his partner, Georgina, were guests at 1600 Penn on Tuesday ... as well as FIFA president Gianni Infantino, Tim Cook, and Elon Musk.

When addressing the folks in attendance, Trump couldn't help but brag about getting some serious "cool dad" points with his son, Barron, after linking him with the iconic athlete.

Before this funny kiddo with his big-brim hat turned into a musician and YouTuber, he was just rockin' the blonde hair and growing up in Carlsbad, California with his three siblings ...

At just 10 year old, he kicked off his YouTube career. He's a former member of the Hype House and he looks up to Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber.

8:23 PM PT  -- Smokey's attorney Christopher Frost tells TMZ, "These plaintiffs are part of the same group of people who have conspired together against the Robinsons and are laying out their claims for maximum adverse publicity.

We have already explained in the Robinsons’ lawsuit against this group for defamation, civil conspiracy and elder abuse that, all along, this has been an organized, avaricious campaign to extract money from an 85-year-old legend. This group of people, who hide behind anonymity, and their attorneys seek global publicity while making the ugliest of false allegations."

Frost adds, "We have sought the Court’s intervention multiple times to require these anonymous individuals to divulge essential information, turn over relevant evidence, and to share deposition transcripts with the District Attorney. For obvious reasons, this group of Does and their attorneys refuse to be forthcoming with all the evidence possible to investigate their own claims. Once the public can see the truth, their avaricious motives and fabricated claims will be revealed.”

Smokey Robinson's newest sexual battery accuser is a man who claims the Motown singer once grabbed the guy's hand and tried to force it onto his erect penis.

Smokey is being sued by four Jane Does claiming they used to work as housekeepers for the music star and his wife, Frances Gladney Robinson ... and now two more alleged victims want to join the suit, a fifth Jane Doe and a John Doe.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the male accuser claims he started working for the Robinsons at their Chatsworth residence around 2013 ... he says he would clean and detail their cars early in the mornings and on numerous occasions Smokey came outside wearing only his underwear and would touch and fondle his erect penis in clear view of John Doe.

The guy claims "Smokey Robinson’s sexual arousal was vivid and unmistakable during these incidents." He also claims Smokey sometimes made sexually suggestive gestures and remarks towards him, including beckoning him toward a nearby room.

He says he would reject Smokey's alleged advances by telling him, "Put some clothes on."

The guy claims things escalated around 2022, when in one incident, Smokey grabbed the guy's hand "without consent and attempted to force it onto his erect penis."

After the alleged incident, the guy claims the Robinsons fired him. He says one year later, Smokey's wife requested he return to work and he did. He says Smokey went right back to appearing partially clothed, touching himself and making sexually suggestive remarks in his presence.

He claims Smokey's repeated sexual harassment, indecent exposure and unwanted physical contact resulted in humiliation, emotional distress, and ongoing fear for his safety and dignity ... and he says he stopped working for the Robinsons "after learning of similar conduct toward other victims and out of concern for his own well-being."

The new Jane Doe who wants to join the lawsuit claims she worked for the Robinsons as a housekeeper. She says on more than 10 occasions Smokey grabbed her hand and attempted to force her to touch his erect penis.

When the four women sued Smokey in May for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment and gender violence, his lawyer denied the allegations and chalked it up to a shakedown.

Minka Kelly kept her cool and kindness front and center when a personal question about her boyfriend surfaced during her appearance on "Today with Jenna & Friends."

The actress stopped by the show Tuesday with guest cohost Olivia Munn to talk about her new romantic comedy "Champagne Problems." While everything began smoothly, Jenna Bush Hager shifted the conversation toward Kelly's real life romance with Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds, creating a brief but noticeable moment of awkwardness hesitation.

"Speaking about the holidays and love in this romcom, you have a very big love in your life right now," Jenna said as she carefully eased into the question. She followed up by asking Kelly to share more "if you feel comfortable."
