TMZ DC isn't just taking over politics, it's getting sports scoops, too -- our camera guy ran into a college basketball player ... who revealed to us he's becoming a Terp!!

We caught up with 6'9" former Queens University Royals forward Maban Jabriel at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Friday ... and asked what he was up to while in town.

Turns out the upcoming junior was visiting the Maryland basketball program ... and apparently it went so well that he decided he's completed his search in finding a new home.

Sandra Lee's isn't exactly giving 'here comes the bride' ... in fact, her latest run-in with TMZ has us wondering if there's trouble in paradise with fiancé Ben Youcef.

We got her out Thursday at La Boca in NYC, and when we asked about wedding plans … she swerved hard, insisting she's focused on work right now. Not a "date’s set" or even a "soon" ... just a full pivot.

And then came the moment that really raises eyebrows. When we asked to see the engagement ring, Sandra brushed it off ... saying her outfit just didn't call for jewelry. Problem is ... there was no ring on THAT finger.

A former homicide prosecutor in California says the severe decomposition of Celeste Rivas' body shouldn't be a huge hurdle in the murder case against D4vd.

Matt Murphy, who prosecuted murder cases for 2 decades down in Orange County, joined us Friday on "TMZ Live," and -- based on that experience -- added his 2 cents on D4vd's arrest.

The critical piece of evidence is Celeste's manner of death ... and a high-ranking LAPD source told us the L.A. County Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide.

D4vd's arrest Thursday came 7 months after Celeste's chopped up and decomposing body was found in the trunk of his Tesla ... and a source connected to the M.E. previously told us they had trouble determining the manner of death because of the state of the body when it was found.

A critical piece of evidence in the D4vd murder case is what caused Celeste Rivas's death ... and a high-ranking LAPD source tells TMZ ... the L.A. County Medical Examiner has ruled her death a homicide.

The Medical Examiner had trouble determining the manner of death because of the decomposition of her body when it was found last September ... a source connected to the M.E. had told TMZ.

One of the most popular power couples in the sports world is no more -- Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird just announced they have broken up after 10 years together.

The two superstar athletes -- who got engaged in 2020, but never exchanged vows -- shared a joint statement on Friday ... admitting, "There really is no smooth or easy way to share this news."

"This hasn’t been an easy decision, but it’s one we’ve made together, with so much love, respect, and care for each other. We’ve shared a whole life over the last decade, through big moments and in quiet ones, and that is something we’ll always carry with us."

Danity Kane is throwing cold water on an announcement shared by D. Woods and Aundrea Fimbres that sure made it seem like the group was playing the upcoming L.A. Block Party ... and the pair is getting major shade for the move.

The drama started this week ... when Woods and Fimbres both posted a flyer to IG, showcasing Diddy's most successful "Making The Band" product, Danity Kane, as a major act at the Block Party.

The group's official social accounts just fired back ... and said fans are being duped and it's wrong -- calling the post "false advertising" and "misleading."

According to the band's account ... only Woods and Fimbres are booked for the festival ... Aubrey O'Day, Shannon Bex, and Dawn Richard knew nothing about it -- and they ain't going to be there.

Dylan Sprouse sprang into action when an alleged trespasser found himself on his Hollywood Hills property early Friday morning, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... they got a 911 call from Dylan's wife, Barbara, around 12:30 AM Friday morning, saying there was an attempted burglary at their home. Our sources say Dylan confronted the alleged intruder and held him down until the cops showed.

A source close to Dylan tells TMZ ... the actor is OK, but obviously very shaken up. What's worse, we hear this is not the first time someone has tried to get into the couple's home uninvited.

Country music has lost one of its all-time hitmakers -- Don Schlitz, the mastermind behind "The Gambler," has died at 73.

Schlitz died Thursday at a Nashville hospital after a sudden illness ... and the loss is hitting the industry hard. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was a legend in the songwriting game.

His catalog reads like a greatest hits playlist. Schlitz wrote smashes for Kenny Rogers (“The Gambler,” “The Greatest”), Randy Travis (“On the Other Hand,” “Forever and Ever, Amen”), The Judds, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tanya Tucker and Mary Chapin Carpenter … just to name a few.

Longtime Angels star Garret Anderson -- the franchise's all-time hits leader -- tragically died on Thursday ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We're told the 53-year-old had a medical emergency at his home in Newport Beach, CA ... and dispatch audio details an unconscious male amid the request for service.

Anderson, born and raised in Los Angeles, was drafted by the Angels in 1990 ... and went on to play for the big league club from 1994 to 2008, becoming one of the greatest players in franchise history.

Garret had a ton of personal as well as team success in Anaheim ... making three All-Star teams and winning a World Series in 2002. He also won the Silver Slugger Award twice, in 2002 and 2003.

Meghan Trainor is turning the page on a major chapter ... 'cause TMZ has learned she sold her Los Angeles area home the same day she pulled the plug on her upcoming tour.

Real estate sources tell us the Encino compound closed Thursday for $6,835,000, moving quickly after hitting the market just about a week ago. The gated estate offers a private retreat tucked behind tall hedges.

The property is expansive ... featuring 7 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and roughly 14,164 square feet of living space, all set on about 1.09 acres.

D4vd is in jail after being arrested for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas ... and neighbors of the Hollywood Hills home where he was popped are shocked for multiple reasons.

We broke the news ... The 21-year-old singer was booked into the LAPD 77th Street Station Jail late Thursday after detectives arrested him on suspicion of murdering the teen. D4vd -- born David Anthony Burke -- is being held without bail.

Neighbors who live on the same street -- not far from the famed Chateau Marmont -- told TMZ ... they didn't even know D4vd lived among them when the home he was staying in was swarmed by police.

The search for Nancy Guthrie’s been dragging on for nearly two months -- but the Pima County Sheriff's Department had people thinking it was finally over ... before the internet quickly called BS!

The department dropped a "Update: Nancy has been located" post on X Thursday night -- and given they’re the ones leading the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom, you’d assume they meant that Nancy. Not quite.

A quick glance at the poster attached tells a very different story -- it’s actually a completely different woman, Nancy Radakovich, with "LOCATED" stamped across her pic.

One thing about Sexyy Red -- she rolls deep ... and her squad showed all the way up to celebrate her 28th at Coachella Valley!

Peep the clip from the bash thrown by Memehouse and Capaholics Thursday night -- the turnout was stacked, with Swae Lee, Ty Dolla $ign, Kyle Massey, DDG, Deshae Frost, and more all pulling up.

And yeah ... it was exactly the kind of chaos you’d expect -- bling flashing, cash flying, and Sexyy front and center eating up every second.

Natalie Portman just dropped a big baby bomb ... she's expecting her third child!

The 44-year-old made the reveal in a new Harper's Bazaar interview that was published on Friday, saying she's "awed" and "excited" to be pregnant again.

This will be the acclaimed actress's first child with partner Tanguy Destable ... and she tells the mag she's "grateful" for the pregnancy, calling it "a privilege and a miracle."

The actress was snapped out and about in Paris Friday amid the exciting announcement ... covering up any signs of a baby bump with a green coat.

Natalie says that -- because her father is a fertility expert -- she "grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant."

And she's not taking it for granted, adding ... "I have so many people I love who’ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well."

8:39 AM PT -- A law enforcement source tells TMZ ... this was an investigative grand jury and not one designed to indict anyone. But why did the LAPD say they were presenting the case to the D.A. on Monday if the D.A. was in charge of the grand jury investigation?

D4vd's arrest was dramatic for sure, but there's something underlying it that screams something is up with the prosecution's case ... it may not be as solid as people think.

The LAPD arrested D4vd late Thursday and quickly put out a statement that they would present the case to the D.A. on Monday. Here's the thing ... the D.A.'s office already had the case ... they had it for months.

Deputy D.A. Beth Silverman has been presenting evidence to an L.A. County Grand Jury since November, and it seemed by all accounts this was more than an investigative grand jury ... it was a grand jury convened to indict D4vd for the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas. If the grand jury heard all this evidence, wouldn't it make sense for it to indict?
