"Summer House" newbie KJ Dillard says Bravo reached out and apologized to him after rumors spiraled saying he was the one to leak the audio from the recent reunion, TMZ has learned.

We caught up with KJ in NYC, and he tells us anyone who thought he was the one who recorded and then leaked audio from the recent reunion filmed last week is "ignorant."

As we previously reported, Bravo launched an investigation into who leaked the bombshell audio ... and after fan speculation grew that KJ was the one to release the audio, he tells us Bravo reached out to let him know they caught the culprit, and apologized to him for being accused.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's Met Gala evening went down just like a high school prom ... a ton of fun, followed by what appears to be an emotional talk.

The couple was photographed inside a sprinter bus Monday night ... but instead of popping bottles and celebrating the billionaire singer's 12th Met Gala, the couple seemed to be tired after the long event.

In the video ... the body language speaks for itself. At one point, RiRi put on a mild smile as they walked back into their hotel.

A witness at the Met who saw the couple at various occasions throughout the night tells TMZ that Rihanna and A$AP were totally fine and having a great time. The witness said they did not appear to have any issues.

Michael Lohan is experiencing mounting health issues ... 'cause TMZ has learned he had a major scare after undergoing a heart surgery.

Lindsay's dad tells TMZ ... he had just had a stent placed in his heart after he had been feeling extremely lethargic and was experiencing shortness of breath for weeks. Just as he thought he was in the clear, he immediately had another medical scare.

Michael tells us this entire ordeal started a couple of weeks ago when he was folding clothes and passed out in his house. After a series of tests, doctors discovered a blockage in his heart which required a stent.

Kim Kardashian's last call came in July 2025, we've learned ... because she stayed out of the bar exam room in February -- and she won't be there in July either.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Kim plans to wait until at least 2027 to retake the bar exam after failing the test a little less than a year ago.

We're told she plans on trying again ... though whether she will in February 2027 is unclear at this time. Kim has a lot of time to mull it over -- the final deadline to sign up for the February 2027 exam is January 4 next year.

Homes? Where Christopher Lloyd is going, he doesn't need homes! At least not homes in Santa Barbara ... because he sold his pad for over $5 million.

The "Back to the Future" star and his wife, Lisa, unloaded their ocean-view stunner for a cool $5,427,000 ... a little over 8 months after putting it on the market.

Christopher's place is 2,880 square feet with 3 bedrooms and sweeping views of the Pacific. It's got all the bells and whistles after a recent remodel ... and there's a detached 1-bedroom guest suite with its own living room/office.

Sorry, no plutonium here ... or anywhere else for that matter. Guess Doc got that one wrong.

Christopher said the home was a special place and a sanctuary for him and his wife ... but now they're moving on to the next chapter. Their future hasn't been written yet -- no one's has.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Nicholas Brendon died from complications related to cardiovascular disease ... and his death has been ruled natural, TMZ has learned.

The actor was found deceased on a couch inside a Putnam County, Indiana residence on March 20, according to a report from the Putnam County Coroner obtained by TMZ. He died from atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease, which is caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, per the American Heart Association. Specifically, he had a 90% blockage of the right coronary artery. Page Six was first to report on his cause of death.

He also had acute pneumonia and previously had a heart attack, which are listed as contributing factors in his death. His friend had been staying with him to take care of him as his health declined, and the friend told the coroner he had a heart attack "several years ago" but declined any further treatment at that time.

Orlando Bloom had the rumor mill going big time ... 'cause he was photographed in the Big Apple with influencer Meredith Duxbury!

Peep the pics -- the 49-year-old rolled up to Sabrina Carpenter and Madonna's Met Gala after-party Monday alongside the 27-year-old makeup star.

Now, there was no hand-holding, no PDA -- nothing indicating that they were even there together -- but people were def talking.

But TMZ has learned nothing's actually going on here.

A source tells us ... Orlando was with Luisa Laemmel last night. They say he doesn't know Meredith and was likely just walking in around the same time.

Hudson Williams has had fans "heated" over his rise to fame ... but post-Met Gala, he got a cold, hard reality check -- ditched at the wrong hotel in a chaotic mix-up!

Peep the clip -- the "Heated Rivalry" star looked fully lost, rolling deep with his crew after getting dumped at the wrong hotel around 6 AM Tuesday ... brutal comedown from a big night!

Yeah, it was definitely a sight -- Hudson was rocking no pants during the whole ordeal, but don’t get it twisted ... it wasn’t a party casualty, that was just his Met after-party look.

There wasn't any diva meltdown over the situation, though ... just a casual street cross and a quick car swap to course-correct.

Barack Obama is making it clear he's not losing sleep over that racist A.I. video President Donald Trump posted ... but he is drawing a line when it comes to his family.

In a new interview with The New Yorker, Obama addressed the controversy sparked back in February when Trump shared an A.I.-generated clip on social media depicting the former prez and wife Michelle Obama as apes -- imagery that ignited immediate backlash.

Obama’s take? He’s not taking the bait.

Mohamed Hadid was out there hyping his daughter Gigi Hadid's red carpet look like she was museum-worthy art ... only problem? He was duped by pics that weren't even real!

Yep -- while Gigi shut it down at the Met Gala Monday, she definitely wasn’t rocking that OTT white-and-gold gown Mohamed shared on IG before quickly deleting ... but not before someone grabbed a screenshot and it made its way onto Reddit.

As you can see, he didn’t just fall for it -- he committed. Caption and all: "She looks like she came out of a frame from the museum. A classic Hadid moment." Sir ... that frame came from a robot!

Billie Eilish had a good hang with Amy Poehler ... but admitted she was keeping her Tourette's tics in check the whole time.

During Tuesday's episode of the comedian's "Good Hang with Amy Poehler" podcast ... Billie opened up about her Tourette Syndrome, and how she does everything she possibly can to "suppress" her tics to keep from being "distracting," especially in interviews.

She told Amy ... "As soon as I leave the room, I have to let them all out." The singer said her tics are mostly just vocal noises that she can keep quiet.

A tiny dog's nightmare played out in full view of surveillance cameras ... and what Florida deputies say happened next is hard to watch.

According to a Hillsborough County arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ, 33-year-old Imania Davis was seen carrying a small Maltese -- weighing roughly 5 pounds -- by the scruff of its neck before things turned violent.

You can see the video for yourself ... the woman throws the dog onto the asphalt multiple times before kicking the defenseless pup on the ground.

Pounds of movie makeup couldn't mask the awkwardness in this interaction ... when Bad Bunny gave Kris Jenner a super weird side hug at the Met Gala!

New video has emerged online capturing the quick greeting between the pop star and the momager Monday night ... with Bunny not breaking stride -- or, more accurately, limp -- as he walked up to Kris and Kim Kardashian in his old man getup.

BB wraps his right arm around Kris in a quick embrace ... before basically using her like a stripper pole to spin around and say a word to Kim.

Day 2 of the Stefon Diggs trial is underway ... and it didn't take long for it to go off the rails after the NFL star's team questioned Jamila Adams about an alleged $5.5 million demand.

In a Dedham, Massachusetts courtroom on Tuesday, Adams was asked whether her lawyer reached out to Diggs' camp with the lucrative demand ... and after a brief pause, she replied, "Mr. Diggs offered me $100,000 to recant my statement. That is the only --."

Adams was interrupted with a motion to strike before she could finish ... and the response was stricken from the record as non-responsive.

Chris Brown's baby mama drama is still going strong, it seems. He and Diamond Brown appear to be trashing each other on social media in the wake of her paternity suit.

On her Instagram story Monday, Diamond re-posted a video of TikToker William Last KRM lip-syncing to "Do You Ever Get Tired" -- an A.I.-generated song from King Willonius, who also generated the infamous "BBL Drizzy" sample.

The lyrics go ... "I got a question 'cause I really need to know, do you ever get tired of being a bitch-ass n****?"

An hour later, CB shared a story of his own, writing ... "Once you're an opp, this s*** don't stop!" The text appears alongside the lyrics of Crime Mob's "Knuck If You Buck."
