Brian Walshe and his wife Ana fought just days before her death because she missed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with her family to spend time with her lover ... this according to the lover himself.

William Fastow took the stand in Massachusetts Thursday ... pulling back the curtain on his relationship with Ana ... with whom he says he was regularly intimate in the months leading up to her disappearance.

Fastow says the two even spent Christmas Eve with his friends in Annapolis, Maryland ... after which she stayed with William at his home in the Washington, D.C. area. Ana's flight the next day was canceled due to snow -- but she ultimately decided to drive back to Massachusetts that day.

Bobby Flay just cooked up a sizzling real estate win ... 'cause TMZ has learned the celeb chef flipped his Hollywood Hills compound for a tasty profit.

Sources familiar with the sale tell TMZ ... Bobby closed the deal Wednesday, unloading his Bird Streets retreat for $8.35 million ... and trust us, this place is plated like a Michelin star spread.

The private estate sits on nearly half an acre and clocks in at over 5,700 square feet, with 4 bedrooms, 5 baths, and the kind of hillside views that justify the price tag.

Billionaires take a lot of crap online -- and apparently at art exhibits, too ... because an artist's new piece depicts them as robot dogs pooping out digital art prints.

The exhibit's the talk of Art Basel Miami Beach ... crafted by the artist Beeple, it's titled "Regular Animals" -- with flesh-colored robo-dogs wandering around a pen wearing super-realistic masks.

Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos and Pablo Picasso are just a few of the famous faces worn by the pups that wander around dropping loads of photos, each with a distinct style. The masks were made by Landon Meier.

It was the meeting of the former prime ministers Thursday when Justin Trudeau and his girlfriend Katy Perry had lunch with Fumio Kishida and his wife Yuko ... as Katy winds down the Japanese leg of her world tour.

Fumio -- who was Prime Minister of Japan from 2021-2024 -- posted pics of the double date along with the caption ... "We met many times during my time as Prime Minister, and we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the Japan-Canada Action Plan when he visited Canada."

Seeing as how the 2 former national leaders were already well-acquainted, it seems safe to say they may have been more excited about meeting Katy. Look at those smiles!

Kylie Jenner can finally breathe again ... 'cause she just revealed she turned to stem cell therapy after dealing with nonstop back pain for three years following her son’s birth.

In an IG post from a hospital bed Wednesday, Kylie said nothing she tried ever touched the pain -- until she took inspo from Kim Kardashian’s success with a similar treatment, and he linked up with Dr. Adeel Khan ... and says she couldn’t be more grateful.

She also dropped a couple of extra pics -- one showing two bandages on her lower back post-procedure, and another posing with Dr. Khan at Eterna Health.

The L.A. Clippers played their first game after Chris Paul's surprise departure on Wednesday ... but the future Hall of Famer was on the home crowd's minds -- with Atlanta Hawks fans hurling chants asking where the heck CP3 was during the game!!

A group of Hawks backers broke out in the jeers while Ivica Zubac was at the free-throw line for L.A. ... with "Where's Chris Paul?" clearly ringing through the arena.

Luckily for Zubac, it didn't have much effect ... as he made both shots from the line. The biggest news of the day also didn't hurt the Clippers' play ... as they went on to get the 115-92 win against Atlanta.

Tyler Herro's nuts took a hit during Wednesday's game -- but it wasn't from an aggressive opponent ... it was courtesy of a referee!!

The low blow took place in the second quarter of the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks matchup at the American Airlines Center ... when Herro was about to shoot a technical free throw.

When the Heat guard stepped to the charity stripe, NBA official Jenna Reneau passed the ball ... but Herro wasn't paying attention and then BOOM -- direct hit on his manhood!

Kim Kardashian got emotional as she claimed her ex-husband Kanye West accused her of faking her traumatic 2016 Paris robbery on the latest episode of "The Kardashians."

Check out the clip -- the SKIMS founder says the rapper called her out in front of a room full of people, alleging she faked the terrifying incident "for a TV show." She compares the situation to being stabbed with a knife to the heart.

She goes on to explain the disappointment she felt as tears well up in her eyes, noting ... "Just to think that someone wouldn't believe you that's so close to you, that should know you, that should know how much that affected your life ... it just really bothered me."

If Jesus comes to the U.S., he'd better have a valid visa ... at least that's the worry of an Illinois church that's installed a controversial Nativity scene depicting the baby messiah zip-tied in a manger.

Lake Street Church of Evanston -- just north of Chicago -- reimagined the Nativity with masked centurions wearing green vests labeled "ICE" surrounding the Holy Family. Mother Mary and Joseph wear respirator masks to shield themselves from tear gas, according to the church.

In a Facebook post, the church explained the scene is meant to draw "direct parallels between the Holy Family's refugee experience and contemporary immigration detention practices." The book of Matthew claims Jesus and his parents fled to Egypt in order to escape King Herod's order that every boy in Bethlehem under 2 be executed.

Prince Harry wasn't afraid to come for the "King" during his appearance on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" ... taking a few swipes at Donald Trump that sparked a mixed reaction from the crowd.

The Duke of Sussex surprised fans Wednesday, popping out during Colbert's monologue to a standing ovation. Colbert had been riffing on "problematic" Christmas TV movies and the fantasy of bumping into a prince at work.

Enter Prince Harry ... who jokes he wants to star in these films because Americans are "obsessed" with Christmas movies -- and royalty.

Erika Kirk is still standing by the 2nd Amendment, even after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was shot to death in September.

Check out her interview on stage at Wednesday's The New York Times’ DealBook Conference -- she says she fully stands behind the right to bear arms, explaining America doesn't have a gun problem, but a people problem.

She notes ... "What I’m afraid of is that we are living in a day and age where they think violence is the solution to them not wanting to hear a different point of view. That’s not a gun problem, that’s a human -- deeply human -- problem."

6:49 PM PT -- Tara Reid tells TMZ ... "Bottom line is no one ends up in the hospital incapacitated for over 8 hours after a drink."

She continues to tell us ... "Last thing I remember is having one drink and waking up in the hospital the next day without remembering anything. That was the scariest feeling I have ever felt. I felt so helpless."

Reid reveals ... "This has been a horrifying experience for me that is severely affecting my mental health. I cannot sleep over this it’s a very scary feeling not knowing what happened to me."

Tara ends with "I believe I was drugged. Something happened to me."

Tara Reid's claim someone slipped a drug in her drink doesn't hold water with cops, who've found no video to back up her allegation ... TMZ has learned.

Rosemont police tell TMZ ... they reviewed surveillance footage from the Chicago-area hotel, and there's no indication -- at least based on the videos they saw -- anyone drugged Tara last month.

We broke the story ... Tara was taken out of the Doubletree hotel on a stretcher, loaded into an ambulance and driven to a hospital. She says she left her drink unattended at the bar and believes she was drugged.

7:00 PM -- Attorney Joe Tacopina tells TMZ ... "Tyrone Blackburn is truly astonishing -- just when I thought his web of lies couldn’t sink to new lows, he manages to outdo himself yet again.

JT continues to tell us ... "Time after time, he’s been scolded by judges for fabricating cases or fined for falsifying legal matters, so it’s undoubtedly clear that he’s a pathological liar."

Joe ends with ... "It’s only a matter of time before he’s disbarred for making a complete mockery of the legal profession."

More drama in the Fat Joe civil case ... his accuser's attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, is getting called out for blaming a legal mistake on artificial intelligence software.

Here's the deal ... Fat Joe's attorneys filed legal docs claiming Tyrone cited cases that didn't exist in his opening brief, and then Tyrone blamed the mistakes on a LexisNexis AI feature.

Well, seems Tyrone's excuse made its way back to LexisNexis, and now the company is speaking out and pushing back against Tyrone.

Before this big blue-eyed boy turned into a singer and actor, he was just chillin' with his two actor siblings, and left Kansas at 10 years old ... to head off to Cali!

"Make it count, play it straight. Don't look back, don't hesitate."
