It turns out Kim Kardashian's "absolutely not mad" at Paris Hilton for blowing off an interview for her book over a dozen times ... at least according to someone in Paris' inner circle.

A source close to Paris tells TMZ … the interview was being handled by an old assistant at her company, and it simply got lost in the shuffle of Paris' "hectic schedule."

Christy Carlson Romano doesn't believe her "Cadet Kelly" co-star Hilary Duff was a "normal" child actor ... and she says it all has to do with Hilary's background.

Charli D'Amelio is finally putting the rumors to bed ... shutting down speculation that her parents stole from her.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Charli flat-out denied accusations that her dad, Marc, and mom, Heidi, were mishandling her money.

Charli paused before adding, "I think we did a lot of things as a family" ... although it's unclear what she means by that.

Dakota Johnson and Machine Gun Kelly dating rumors are as hot as the couple themselves ... and they added fuel to the fire this week after they left a music studio together.

James Talarico's campaign took an unprecedented step to prove he didn't spend the week in a mental health facility in Ohio ... by giving the media screenshots of a video that they say show he was at home in Texas.

Here's the deal ... Talarico's opponent in the Texas Senate race, Ken Paxton, and many conservative social media users have recently been calling BS on Talarico's claims that he has been stuck in bed with a bad case of the flu after he recently vanished from the campaign trail.

Using tenuous evidence -- including an unsubstantiated audio clip and a flight tracker of a private jet flying from Texas to Ohio, which doesn't seem to have any link to Talarico -- rumors swirled that Talarico was actually in a full-blown mental health breakdown in Ohio.

Elon Musk and President Donald Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller amplified the claims as well ... but now Talarico is pushing back. with the help of a major media outlet.

Kendall addressed the whole issue in the trailer for Season 8 of "The Kardashians" series on Hulu, which dropped Thursday. In the trailer, Kendall admits there's a rumor going around that she and Cara dated ... which Kendall says is total BS.

It looks like the Spice Girls are about to spice up your life ... because they're definitely teasing something BIG ... and it's got folks riled up.

Check it out ... the girl band posted a cryptic video Wednesday -- set on the same stairs from the "Wannabe" music video -- of a newspaper ad in "The Stage."

It reads … "R U a Spice Girls fan with the ability to sing and dance? R U a superfan, a collector, a music lover? Spice Girls are a widely successful, global, choreographed, singing/dancing all female pop act with a record nine number ones in the UK and over 100 million global sales."

Donald Trump and his ever-present executive assistant Natalie Harp are once again practically joined at the hip ... this time linking up after his day on the links.

Harp and the prez were photographed Sunday sitting side by side in the back of an SUV as they departed Trump National Golf Club Washington, D.C., in Sterling, Virginia, where POTUS spent the weekend.

It's interesting to see them back together on a golf course, considering we now know that's where Harp had one of her roughest days on the job.

Natalie Harp is letting the allegations she's obsessed with President Trump roll off her shoulders ... as she was seen boarding Marine One to travel with the prez Friday.

Tennis pro Amanda Anisimova brewed up quite the conversation during her match against Filipino sensation Alex Eala on Monday ... when commentators debated whether she was drinking on the job.

The gulp in question went down in the second set of Anisimova's Round of 32 win at the Cincinnati Open ... and later in the showdown, Brett Haber and Lindsay Davenport dissected footage of her drinking from a clear cup amid a changeover.

The liquid looked like a beer ... as it was foamy and had the same hue as a pilsner.

Keke Palmer says she doesn't know "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans outside of work ... amid months of chatter that they could be the hottest new Hollywood couple.

Check it out -- the actress chatted it up with Evan Ross Katz on the "Shut Up Evan" podcast and says fans are right to ship them as a couple ... but Keke pumps the brakes on the situation. She says ... "What are we supposed to do, go get married? We don't even know each other outside of work."

Sources connected to the two tell TMZ ... the online rumors claiming they're dating are simply fantasy ... and there's nothing romantic between them, despite some people's interpretation of the photo.

Keke Palmer and "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans are fueling the chatter they could be an item .. 'cause they went out on a cozy 'lil date night in New York City!
