Rihanna and A$AP Rocky had fans reading into their post-Met Gala vibe ... but TMZ has learned there's no trouble in the relationship ... just pure exhaustion after a marathon day.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the two had been going nonstop for nearly 16 hours by the time they were caught on camera leaving the invite-only gala Monday night, bouncing between prep, appearances, and the main event -- leaving them totally drained.

Our sources say the video in question shows nothing more than two people who were wiped out. "It was a long day and they were running on empty," one source tells us.

Melissa Barrera just slaughtered the "Scream" franchise ... because the actress went scorched earth on the series after she was fired for comments on the Gaza War.

In an interview with Variety ... Melissa didn't hold back when she was asked about the success of the most recent flick ... which was panned by critics -- but made a boatload of money. MB straight up accused Paramount of inflating the box office numbers ... saying there's no way the film did so well.

Important to note ... box office numbers are third-party verified -- so it's impossible for a studio to fudge them.

As you know ... Melissa was booted from "Scream 7" and left her talent agent after friction from her pro-Palestinian messages on social media when the war broke out ... comparing Gaza to a concentration camp.

The "Baywatch" reboot has us breaking a sweat, and this mouthwatering pic of Shay Mitchell and Hassie Harrison ain't helping the dehydration ... or the fixation!

They didn't say why Bonnie needed the procedure, but some reports are saying she sought medical help after a few days of abdominal pain ... and doctors found an intestinal perforation.

WNBA star Arike Ogunbowale is in the clear ... the battery charge against the hooper has been dropped, two months after she allegedly socked a security guard in his face at a famed Miami nightclub.

Ogunbowale, 29, was celebrating her team's championship in the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league -- her side gig when she isn't playing for the WNBA's Dallas Wings -- into the early morning hours at E11EVEN in South Beach ... when she was said to be involved in a dispute with other people at the club, prompting security to *attempt* to kick out a group that included the 4x WNBA All-Star.

That's when Arike was accused of hauling off on the guard, punching him in his grill, and causing him to fall to the ground.

Clavicular is facing a criminal charge in Florida for shooting a gun at a dead alligator on his livestream.

Court records, obtained by TMZ, show state prosecutors in Florida charged Clavicular with one count of discharge of a firearm in a public place, a misdemeanor. Law enforcement sources tell us ... the alligator was floating upside down in the water when Clavicular allegedly pulled the trigger.

Prosecutors say Clavicular "did unlawfully and knowingly discharge a firearm in a public place or on or over the right-of-way of a public paved road, highway, or street, or over occupied premises" at the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area.

Khloé Kardashian is spilling more tea on her infamous 2007 DUI arrest ... revealing her brief jail stint involved bunking up with a whole group of female prostitutes!

Speaking on her "Khloé In Wonder Land" podcast, Khloé recalled being thrown into a holding cell with 23 sex workers immediately after her arrest ... joking that thanks to her questionably short dress at the time, she kinda looked like she belonged there too.

Still, the reality of lockup wasn’t exactly glamorous -- Khloé admitted the packed cell only had one toilet for everyone, and the situation was so uncomfortable, she refused to use the bathroom the entire time she was locked up!

Looks like A$AP Rocky is still shaking off those tense Met Gala vibes with Rihanna ... 'cause the man was spotted looking seriously glum during a late-night NYC outing.

Rocky was seen hopping into a car Tuesday night in the Big Apple ... rocking his usual stylish fit and dark shades, but definitely not serving big-smile energy.

The solo outing was clearly needed after Monday’s eyebrow-raising Met Gala moments -- including viral video showing Rihanna shooting Rocky a look while he chatted away with another woman.

Some of the top creators on OnlyFans got a lesson in gun safety down in Texas ... they had their boobs out while they squeezed off some rounds ... and it's all on video.

Amber Rose is finally admitting she may have accidentally helped gas up one of pop culture's most infamous moments ... Kanye West crashing Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs.

Check it out ... appearing on the "Ball in the Family" podcast with Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball, Amber confessed she was hyping Kanye up hard before the awards show -- even encouraging him to grab a bottle of Hennessy before they hit the carpet.

“We need to be on the carpet ... taking shots of Henny,” Amber recalled telling Ye before the show ... adding she was constantly reminding him, “You the biggest thing in the whole world.”

But Amber insists she had no idea what was about to happen once they got inside.

"All of a sudden I’m just sitting there and then he’s on stage," she said. "I'm like, 'Oh s***. I was not expecting that.'"

Looks like the Met Gala tension between Rihanna and A$AP Rocky might've been overblown ... or at least misplaced.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ the woman seen chatting with Rocky on the carpet Monday night in now-viral video is Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert ... the Italian fashion editor and stylist who's known Rihanna for years and who has "a lot of respect" for her.

We’re told the clip making the rounds online doesn’t show the full interaction ... because Giovanna was actually talking with Rihanna first -- and the two were laughing together before she continued the conversation with Rocky nearby.

Kash Patel is reportedly pulling out all the stops to find out who spilled the beans about his alleged drinking habits.

Two people familiar with the matter tell MS NOW the FBI has launched a criminal leak investigation over the unflattering article in The Atlantic about Kash's alleged drinking.

MS NOW's sources say the Bureau is reportedly trying to find out who leaked info to the reporter by calling in an insider-threats unit based in Huntsville, Alabama. The sources explain this is unusual ... because insider=threat investigations are typically about classified info that's been leaked

It's usually government officials -- not reporters -- who are the ones being investigated, often for disclosing state secrets or classified documents ... and any journalists who publish sensitive info are often only considered witnesses.

Drew alleges Ralph now has a past-due balance of $25,251.07 on the mortgage, adding his failure to pay was "intentional and willful." She says Ralph has shown no respect for the court order and wants the judge to fine him $1K as punishment for his behavior.
