The Department of War has released the first round of files connected to unidentified aerial phenomena ... and conspiracy theorists are sure to have a field day with the docs.

As you know ... months ago, just after former President Barack Obama said on a podcast that aliens were real, President Donald Trump promised the American public documents regarding "alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)."

The DoW followed the commander-in-chief's order Friday ... releasing some of the many documents on the subject -- with everything from photos taken on space missions to sketches from alleged eyewitness accounts.

West Wilson looked like he was flying solo on a night out in NYC ... despite being in a new romance with Amanda Batula.

TMZ has obtained video of the "Summer House" star out on the Lower East Side Thursday night, and he's clearly in party mode ... with no sign of Amanda anywhere.

Witnesses tell TMZ West hit 82 Stanton with his teammates, where he spent the night talking to multiple women and making the rounds. One person there says he was "definitely flirting."

A Los Angeles with Spencer Pratt as mayor would be safer, saner, and a lot cleaner ... at least according to a new A.I. political ad that projects his vision for the future.

The new ad dropped Friday ... and it opens with a firefighter remarking that it's a lot easier to fight fires when there's water in the reservoir. Spencer's running for mayor in large part due to wildfires last year that devastated the city and burned his house down.

Next, a cop looks into the camera and remarks on being allowed to arrest criminals with handcuffs. A woman walking a dog says she doesn't have to worry about stepping in human poop, and a man on a run says the only needles he sees are in hospitals.

'Bachelorette' fans hoping that Taylor Frankie Paul's season would air this summer are going to be disappointed to see ABC's just-released summer lineup schedule ... because the series ain't on it.

There were rumors that the sheveld season would air this summer on the network -- and that it would be announced Tuesday at the TV advertising event, Upfronts -- but that seems pretty far-fetched now.

TMZ broke the news ... Taylor's season was pulled days before it was set to air after a video of her and ex, Dakota Mortensen, in a domestic dispute was made public, also by us.

Dianna Russini once cracked a joke about having husband and wife sex, saying you need to close your eyes to do it in a resurfaced clip that's gone viral.

In the video, which now seems awkward given her situation with Mike Vrabel, Russini is playing Barstool's version of "Family Feud" game with a bunch of dudes, including Vrabel himself.

Vrabel, of course, is the New England Patriots coach with whom Russini has carried on a cozy relationship that forced her to resign as The Athletic's NFL reporter and turned their lives into a media circus.

Burning outrage over Congressional redistricting in Tennessee is exploding in that state's capital ... where state Rep. Justin Jones set fire to Confederate flag.

Justin was protesting Tennessee Republicans approving a new Congressional map Thursday -- splitting up a majority-Black district in Memphis -- when he joined a crowd marching and chanting through the Capitol, held up a printout of the rebel flag ... and lit it up.

While still holding the burned flag -- which had "We will not go back" written along the edge -- Justin told The Tennessean, "They're taking us backwards to this type of environment where Black folks are not treated with equal representation, where we're pre-1965."

Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrival at a Texas prison camp apparently sparked major backlash behind bars -- with inmates now claiming they were screamed at and punished just for talking about her.

Former inmate Julie Howell told CNN she was abruptly transferred from the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan to a higher-security detention center in Houston after sharing her thoughts with a reporter on Maxwell being housed at the minimum-security facility meant for non-violent offenders.

According to Howell, she even checked the prison handbook beforehand to make sure speaking to the press wasn’t against the rules, but says prison officials still came down hard on her after the story blew up.

President Donald Trump went full HGTV mode Thursday ... unloading on an ABC reporter for asking why he’s focused on D.C. renovations instead of the Iran war.

The fiery exchange went down near the Lincoln Memorial, where the POTUS was showing off plans for his Washington makeover ... while the shaky Iran ceasefire and soaring gas prices continue dominating headlines.

That's when ABC News correspondent Rachel Scott asked why he's so focused on beautification projects during the conflict ... and Trump had quite the fiery response.

'Blacklist' actress Adele Heather Taylor and the estate of her late estranged husband, Roberto Orcí, are officially calling a truce in their explosive legal war ... because the NBC star has settled her sexual assault lawsuit against the late "Star Trek" screenwriter's estate.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ ... attorneys for Orcí's estate filed a notice of settlement Wednesday in court ... signaling the entire case has been resolved before it ever reached trial. The filing notes the settlement is conditional -- dismissal of the case is expected by the end of the year once certain terms are satisfied.

As we previously reported ... Adele countersued Orci for at least $17M after he accused her of domestic violence in a lawsuit filed before his death in February 2025. Adele claimed she was actually the victim throughout their relationship ... accusing Orcí of sexual assault, physical abuse, violent threats, and emotional torment.

Seth Rogen and Jon Stewart are keeping their new message simple ... "F*** Kanye West!"

The comedians appeared onstage together this week at The Greek Theatre -- a world-famous outdoor venue in L.A. -- alongside a host of other jokesters during the "Netflix Is a Joke" festival, when the controversial rapper came up.

We broke the story ... Dave Chappelle embraced Ye last week by bringing him out during his show at The Comedy Store. So, Rogen -- who is Jewish -- seemed to be responding Wednesday night at the Greek, joking he'd said critical things about Jews in the past, and got more crap for it than the guy who made the song, "Heil Hitler."

Austin Reaves was in a heated feud with officials throughout the Lakers' Game 2 loss to the Thunder on Thursday ... and it came to a head when he appeared to call a ref a "p***y" during an argument late in the contest.

The moment went down with less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter ... when Reaves went at it with John Goble, who yelled in the L.A. star's face amid an argument over a call.

Reaves wasn't having any of it ... and took issue with how Goble handled the ordeal, calling it "bulls***."
